Chu Yunning didn't panic at all, and looked at Duke Zhong with a very calm expression: "Young Master helped the emperor to do evil. If this comes to the ears of the emperor, you will be punished."
Duke Zhongguo frowned and hesitated for a moment.
"My lord, don't listen to this man's nonsense. It's true that he injured the princess, slandered her, and threatened to send us back to Yunlan Kingdom." The envoy interrupted Chu Yunning, with disdain still on his face.
: "The princess is the most noble pearl of the Yunlan Kingdom. Many people can only dream of it. If the princess makes any mistake, the Yunlan Kingdom will definitely pursue it. I believe that the emperor will not ignore the people for the fault of one person."
"Mr. Guo Gong, you have seen what kind of character the princess is. If the princess marries into the Guo Gong's palace, it is not certain whether the life in the Guo Gong's palace will be peaceful in the future. Will the emperor care about the peace between the two countries?
, Favoring the princess?" Chu Yunning asked with a smile, this is the last chance for Duke Zhong, if you don't know the truth, you will be in trouble.
Upon hearing this, Duke Zhongguo immediately glanced at Princess Yu'an. To be honest, he didn't like this troublesome daughter-in-law, but he had to pretend to like her because of her identity.
Princess Yu'an now seems to be fearless. This kind of arrogant and domineering behavior will sooner or later cause unnecessary trouble to the Duke's palace.
"My lord, what people say is terrible. The princess has not yet married into the lord's palace. Not only did she hurt people, but she also set her horse on a horse to commit murder. If the lord protects the princess at this time, she will be misunderstood by someone with intentions in the future. My lord.
My heart is towards the Yunlan Kingdom, and if the emperor misunderstands the Duke’s sincerity, then the gain will outweigh the loss.”
Chu Yunning saw Duke Zhongguo's face darken a little, and knew that the other party had heard what he said.
"Stop talking alarmist here, our Yunlan country has strong soldiers and horses..."
"Since we have strong soldiers and horses, why come to get married? There are so many good men in the capital, so why did they choose the Duke's mansion? Is there something unknown in it?"
As soon as Chu Yunning finished speaking, Duke Zhongguo immediately said: "Master, don't talk nonsense. My son and the princess have never met. Now that the imperial edict has not been issued, it is still unknown who the princess will marry."
After Chu Yunning reminded me, this is not marrying a princess. This is obviously marrying back a living ancestor.
The Duke of Zhongguo belongs to a century-old family with meritorious service and no lack of wealth and splendor. Even if he marries Princess Yu'an, he may not be able to gain any advantage.
On the contrary, if Princess Yu'an makes any mistake, it will implicate the Zhongguo Duke's Palace.
After thinking about it, Duke Zhongguo rubbed his eyebrows and pretended to be uncomfortable, and winked at Prince Li: "Why are you still standing there in a daze? Why don't you come over and help me!"
Prince Li was stunned, why did his father's mood change so much?
"Crown Prince!" Princess Yu'an stomped her feet in grievance, holding onto Crown Prince Li's arm with one hand: "You can't leave, you have to make the decision for me."
Prince Li was also a compassionate person. He comforted Princess Yu'an for a few words, then turned to look at Duke Zhongguo: "Father, the princess was so seriously injured. If we just sit back and do nothing, will the emperor blame her?"
Princess Yu'an raised her chin: "I am a princess of high status, but I am humiliated by an untouchable. Does the Duke really not care?"
Mr. Zhongguo had two heads and two heads. He had not slept well in the first place and was suffocating with anger. Now that he was being held up high and unable to get off the stage, he was even more upset and angry.
"Father, none of us can guess how the emperor will deal with it, but we cannot ignore this person's words and ignore the princess. For the sake of harmony between the two countries, I ask my father to support the princess and make the decision." Li Shizi added:
"The princess is new here and likes the bustling night market. She accidentally lost control of her horse and hurt someone as a last resort. If no one is held accountable, we will still pay compensation."
Princess Yu'an nodded: "Yes, I am just not familiar with the terrain of the capital, and I didn't do it on purpose, but this person hurt me on purpose."
Chu Yunning had given up persuading her. She wanted to see if Duke Zhongguo had enough brains to understand clearly.
"This princess is just asking for an apology. Is it also embarrassing for the Duke?" Princess Yu'an showed dissatisfaction on her face.
Duke Zhongguo frowned and suddenly said in a deep voice: "This little brother, for my sake, please apologize to the princess and let this matter be over."
Chu Yunning sneered: "What if I don't agree?"
"If you refuse, then I will have no choice but to force you to apologize." Duke Zhongguo signaled with his eyes, and the guards stepped forward one after another.
Chu Yunning calmly said: "Does Mr. Zhongguo intend to use power for personal gain and harm innocent people?"
"I don't know what's wrong, here comes someone, arrest him and put him in jail!" Duke Zhongguo's anger was completely aroused. He turned to Jing Zhaoyin and said: "What are you still doing? Take him away!"
Jing Zhaoyin looked at the faint smile on Chu Yunning's face. She didn't know why she felt scared. She always felt that the other party's identity was unusual. An ordinary person would have been frightened to death by such a big battle, but she still had a smile on her face.
Smiling.
This kind of courage is extraordinary.
"My lord, think twice." Jing Zhaoyin gave some advice.
"Jing Zhaoyin, don't you even listen to the words of Duke Zhong?" the envoy said, his expression seemed to be mocking Duke Zhong for his uselessness. The angry Duke Zhong ordered: "Hurry up and do it!"
"Prime Minister!" Chu Yunning suddenly shouted.
It happened that the Prime Minister Gong passed by here at this time. He was also out to relax with his family members. He happened to pass by this area and bumped into this scene. The voice sounded familiar to the Prime Minister Gong. When he saw Chu Yunning, he recognized it immediately.
Soon everyone's attention shifted to the Prime Minister. Duke Zhongguo looked at the Prime Minister: "The Prime Minister is here too?"
"I'm just casually taking a stroll. It's almost time, so I won't disturb you anymore."
The Prime Minister of the Palace did not criticize Chu Yunning's identity, but got out in time, not wanting to wade into this muddy water, and turned around and left.
But Chu Yunning didn't intend to spare him: "Prime Minister, please stay. As the head of a hundred officials and with the reputation of loving the people like a son, don't you care about the life and death of the people?"
The Prime Minister cursed secretly, coughed twice, and winked at the housekeeper beside him. The housekeeper understood: "Mr. Prime Minister, are you feeling unwell? It's windy at night. Let's go back quickly."
"That's fine."
The Prime Minister continued to walk forward as if he was deaf and was not fooled. Seeing this, Chu Yunning cursed an old fox!
If Lord Zhongguo opposite was as smart as the Prime Minister, he wouldn't be dragged in to support him in public.
"The Prime Minister has left. Don't expect anyone to help you." Duke Zhongguo lost his patience and just wanted to go back to accompany his concubine as soon as possible: "Hurry up and arrest him, kowtow to apologize, beat or punish him.
