Chapter 445 What else do you want to quibble about?
"When did this happen? Can you two stickies please look at the situation? Didn't you hear that all the officials wanted me to punish you for serious crimes? Don't you have anything to say?" the emperor said angrily.
Ye Yibai curled his lips: "He is not the emperor. He can punish the crime if he wants to. Then you, as the emperor, just let him be the emperor. People won't listen to what you say anyway."
"Xiao Bai, how could you talk to your father like this?" Hua Yanxi reached out and patted Ye Yibai.
The emperor looked slightly better. Finally, this man knew how to protect him.
Unexpectedly, the next moment Hua Yanxi said: "What's so good about being an emperor? You still have to be threatened by a mere prime minister. It's better to be a prime minister. With just a touch of lip service, even the prince can be punished."
The Prime Minister's expression immediately changed: "The fifth prince and concubine must be careful. It's not that I mean to make things difficult for you. It's actually what you did today. If you can't give a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. Who will respect the imperial power in the future?"
If the fifth prince’s concubine really cares about the country, she shouldn’t make things difficult for the emperor.”
"Am I the one who made things difficult for my father? Aren't you the one who is going to kneel on the ground and embarrass the emperor?" Hua Yanxi only found it funny: "My father wants to make things as big as trivial, but you insist on making trouble.
"Wei Chen is just fulfilling his duty as a minister. Furthermore, isn't it the fifth prince and concubine who caused all this today?" the prime minister sneered.
Hua Yanxi nodded and looked at the Prime Minister: "Then according to the Prime Minister's wishes, we are not going to be kind today. No matter who comes to plead for mercy, it will be the same. Even if the father wants to let go, you will definitely uphold the justice in your heart.
?”
"That's right, as a minister, I will do anything for the king without hesitation. Even if I have to remonstrate to death today, I will definitely bring the criminal to justice!"
"Lu Liang, you must confront me today, right?" the emperor said angrily.
"Your Majesty, I cannot watch you do something wrong and be despised by all the people. For this reason, I am willing to accept any punishment from the Emperor!" The Prime Minister frowned, as if he was thinking about the Emperor.
"you......"
"Father, please don't be anxious. It's too early to draw a conclusion about what is right and what is wrong." Hua Yanxi curled her lips and said.
The emperor chewed Hua Yanxi's words carefully: "What do you want to say?"
"Fifth Princess, you really can't shed tears until you see the coffin. You have also searched the Prime Minister's Mansion, and you have found nothing until now. Isn't this enough to prove my innocence and prove that you slandered officials?"
Hua Yanxi looked at the Prime Minister: "Since it is a search, you have to complete the search before you can draw a conclusion, right?"
"I think the Fifth Princess wants to use this excuse to buy time. Even if you search the Prime Minister's Mansion for a month, you won't be able to find anything," the Prime Minister said proudly.
Hua Yanxi said: "That's not the case, there will be results soon. Prime Minister, don't be too impatient. Be careful that happiness will turn into sorrow later. If you have anything to say, just leave it for later."
"Fifth Princess, how do you still want to make excuses now that things have come to this?" the Prime Minister said coldly.
"Sophistry? No, it's the facts that speak louder than words." Hua Yanxi said, looking at the emperor: "Father, please take a seat and allow my daughter-in-law to report to you in detail."
Seeing Hua Yanxi like this, the emperor couldn't tell what to do, so he had to sit back as he was told, looked at the people kneeling on the ground, raised his hands and said: "Everyone, please get up, let's first listen to what the fifth prince and concubine has to say.
"
Hua Yanxi glanced at the Prime Minister and took the lead in asking: "I just heard what the Prime Minister said that the reason why my daughter-in-law ransacked the house today was all because of a momentary impulse and no calculation at all, right?"
