When Su Jiantao heard this, his face was full of panic.
"Why did the prince say this? The old ministers are loyal to the emperor and the prince, and they have the same heart. Heaven and earth can learn from this."
Zhu Neng and Su Jiantao, who have been involved in officialdom for many years, have long understood that Zhao Jinchen's attack is definitely a drunkard's intention.
Zhao Jinchen pointed to the swollen half of his face and said, "Look, your daughter did it!"
Zhu Neng looked at Zhu Ying, who was swinging on the swing with her big snow-white arms exposed, as if she was not the one who caused such a big trouble.
Su Luomei walked quickly to Zhu Ying and blocked her arms with her body.
Zhu Neng was a scholar who paid great attention to etiquette and integrity. He could not ignore the disheveled appearance of the girl in front of him. He bowed to Zhao Jinchen and Zhao Yu and said: "Your Majesty, Prince, I will give this girl a cloak first."
Mrs. Zhu Li said in a flattering manner: "I'll go and get it right now!"
"No need!" Zhu Neng stopped him. He didn't know why he felt an inexplicable familiarity with her when he first saw her. He walked directly into the wing and came out after a while with a bright red cloak.
, he handed the cloak to Su Luomei.
Zhu Li looked at Zhu Neng's back with jealousy and resentment.
When Su Luomei put a cloak on Zhu Ying, Mrs. Zhu Li saw a crescent-shaped mark on Zhu Ying's shoulder, and her body trembled with excitement.
Zhu Zirong noticed something strange about her mother. She held her mother's hand and asked with concern: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Mrs. Zhu Li reached out and brushed the hair on her forehead to cover herself up, and said: "It's okay, it's okay!"
Zhu Neng returned to the three royal family members. He saluted and asked, "Your Highness, what happened?"
Zhao Jinchen took Su Zirong's handkerchief and covered his swollen face, and said: "This witch failed to seduce me, but actually injured me. Mr. Su, what kind of punishment do you think should be imposed?"
Su Jiantao said in a neither humble nor arrogant tone: "Your Highness, is there any misunderstanding in this? My daughter would never do such a treacherous thing? And she..."
The implication is that Zhu Ying looks more like the one who was violated.
Zhao Jinchen sneered and said: "Master Zhu, Master Su, do you mean that I am lying?"
"Don't dare!" Zhu Neng and Su Jiantao both said.
"Sister, you would never do such a thing," said the timid Su Luomei, who was firmly defending Zhu Ying in the face of absolute imperial power. "Sister, what exactly happened?"
Zhu Ying smiled contemptuously and said: "Zhao Jinchen, is this the poisonous plan you have planned? Zhu Neng, are you also blind?"
Princess Yonghe remembered that Zhu Ying had ruined her good deeds of harming Su Luomei, so she scolded her: "You are a bold and cunning woman, you dare to insult the royal family..."
Zhao Yu said in a deep voice: "Shut up!"
In front of Zhao Yu, Zhao Jinyan was like a mouse before a cat, and she didn't dare to be presumptuous.
"Uncle," Zhao Jinchen's eyes were filled with the smile of a woman who succeeded in her plan, "the emperor sister is right, insulting this prince is insulting the royal family and father. This is a crime of great disrespect."
Zhao Yu dug out the corners of his eyes and asked Zhao Jinchen, "Is it possible that the emperor's nephew wants to tell me that the girl's clothes were torn off by himself?"
"How can your uncle say no?"
Zhao Yu was at a loss for words. Zhao Jinchen continued: "On the day she was admiring the lotus, she deliberately fell into the lotus pond to lure me to rescue her. This is something that everyone has seen. Today, she led me into such a remote place. See me.
Ignoring her, she tore off her sleeves and tried to force me to submit, but I ignored her. At this time, Miss Su came again. She was so desperate that she was afraid of being caught doing her despicable activities and beating me instead.
A slap is used to frame me and force me to submit. How can such a vicious person be spared lightly?"
Su Luomei said anxiously: "Your Majesty, Master Zhu, these are all the words of His Highness the Crown Prince and cannot be fully believed."
Princess Yonghe sneered and said, "Mr. Su, these are the two good daughters you have trained? One wants to fly on a branch and become a phoenix, and the other is so disrespectful that she just interrupts when her elders are talking?"

Su Jiantao could only look at Zhu Ying. The only one who could defend herself now was herself. He knew that the woman in front of him was not an easy person to deal with.
Zhu Ying jumped off the swing, walked up to everyone, bowed, and said calmly: "The little girl also has a story to tell. Would you like some adults to listen to it?"
Zhao Jinchen said directly: "I have already guessed what you are going to say. Don't you just want to falsely accuse me of committing misdeeds against you?"
"Is not it?"
Zhao Jinchen laughed "hahaha" and said: "I am the crown prince of the same country. How could the future prince do such a ridiculous thing? What kind of woman can't get a woman from this prince? You are not stunningly beautiful.
Do I deserve this?"
Not to be outdone, Zhu Ying counterattacked and said: "Isn't it stunning? Everyone here has eyes, but they can't tolerate you covering the sky with one hand."
Zhao Jinchen said: "Okay, even if you are a stunning beauty, this is the Zhu family's backyard. If you hadn't seduced me, how could I have come to such a remote and quiet place."
"I just wanted to come out for some air. I walked along the beautiful scenery and got lost when I came here. You see this remote place, even if... I am still unable to respond to the calls of the heavens and the earth, so I want to
It's not good practice."
Zhu Ying's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and she cried on Su Luomei's shoulder, her delicate body trembling as if she could not let anyone pity her.
"That's nonsense!" Zhao Jinchen said angrily.
Zhu Ying asked without showing any signs of weakness: "I'm talking nonsense, Prince, you are talking nonsense even more."
Zhao Jinchen raised his eyebrows and said confidently: "I have a witness!"
Zhao Yu tightened his fists, his cold eyes tightened, and his murderous aura turned into evil aura, filling the entire courtyard.
Everyone was shocked by his murderous aura, even Zhu Neng and Su Jiantao were pounding in their hearts, and the other juniors swallowed their saliva in fear.
Zhao Jinyan hid behind her brother and gently pulled his clothes to tell him to forget it, but Zhao Jinchen finally got hold of Zhao Yu and refused to let go.
"Miss Zhu, when you entered the yard, you saw Miss Zhu tearing off her sleeves?"
Zhao Jinchen looked at Zhu Zirong.
He and Zhu Zirong had several brief contacts in social situations because Princess Yonghe liked Zhu Zixuan. He knew that Zhu Zirong was a transparent person and that she had thoughts about him. He had just given her directions again.
So he believed that she would help him make a false confession.
As long as Zhu Ying is convicted of the crime of disrespect, he will see how his little uncle can save his beloved woman?
Zhu Zirong got Zhao Jinchen's hint, but at the same time she saw Zhao Yu's eyes as cold as death. She was so frightened that her words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't speak out.
Mrs. Zhu Li pulled her daughter's arm and said, "My daughter just told me that when she came in, she did see that the girl had torn off her sleeves by herself. She wanted to blame the prince."
This turn of events caught everyone by surprise. Su Luomei didn't believe them at all and blurted out, "Mrs. Zhu, how can you lie?"
Mrs. Zhu Li changed her frail demeanor and said angrily: "Why are you a child so uneducated? This is the first time I met this girl. We have no grievances. Why should I lie?"
Zhu Ying stared at her blankly until she saw Mrs. Zhu Li becoming uneasy.
"What do you know? You want me so much that I will die?"
Zhu Li was shocked and said: "What are you talking nonsense about? I'm just telling the truth!"
Zhu Neng looked at Zhu Ying and asked, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Zhu Ying looked directly into Zhu Neng's eyes without flinching and said, "Let it be whatever you think it is, right?"
Zhu Ying wanted to see what her father was going to do with her this time. Was he going to chop off her head?
Zhu Neng was also stunned. Why was this girl's attitude so weird? Why was she looking at him with such deep hatred?
Just when Zhu Neng was in trouble, there was a noise outside the door.
Zhu Neng asked: "What happened?"
The servant outside the door said: "There is a girl who wants to see the prince!"

.
Zhu Neng looked at Zhao Yu, who asked, "Who is he?"
"My lord, this servant is Shuangju, the maid beside the princess."
Zhao Yu frowned, what did his princess want to do?
"Come in?"
The door opened, Shuangju timidly walked in, and then knelt down in front of everyone.
Shuangju followed them secretly all the way. Like Zhu Ying, she had some martial arts experience, so she easily escaped the servants of Zhu's house and heard the whole story.
Zhao Yu said with a warning: "What urgent matter do you have that you need to see me at this time?"
"Replying to the prince, there is something that I think I should say after thinking about it." Xin
Su Luomei said: "You don't have to be afraid if anything happens, just say it. The prince who breaks the law is as guilty as the common people."
Princess Yonghe said angrily: "Miss Su, what do you mean?"
Su Luomei lowered her head and leaned against Zhu Ying.
Shuangju pointed at Su Luomei and said, "This slave met Miss Su's maid in the flower hall. Miss Su's maid witnessed the whole incident. His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to do something wrong. The girl fought hard and slapped the Crown Prince."
Zhao Jinchen was about to retort when he felt the figure in front of him flicker. Zhao Yu was already standing in front of him. He raised his hand and slapped him to the ground. The right half of his face immediately became swollen.
Princess Yonghe screamed, rushed to her brother, and said, "Uncle, what are you doing?"
Zhao Yu said in a deep voice: "The prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. It is really a disgrace to our ancestors to do something worse than a beast!"
Zhao Jinyan also plucked up the courage to say: "Everyone insists on their own opinions, how can we conclude that the emperor is lying?"
"Then you mean that the king's maid is lying?"
Princess Yonghe originally wanted to say "yes", but she swallowed her words abruptly after seeing Zhao Yu's murderous eyes.
Zhao Jinchen said vaguely: "Then Uncle Huang means that Miss Zhu Zirong is lying?"
Shuangju said: "Miss Zhu probably came in later. She was so flustered that she couldn't see clearly, so there was a misunderstanding."
Zhu Ying said quietly: "I didn't expect that the Daliang Kingdom claims to be a country of etiquette, but in fact it is protected by officials and there is no royal law."
Zhu Ying wiped her eyes, and tears rolled down her face.
Su Luomei couldn't understand the Zhu Ying in front of her. Is she such a fragile person?
"Sister, don't be sad, justice is in the heart." She approached her to comfort her, and suddenly there was a spicy feeling from her handkerchief that made her eyes well up with tears.
Zhu Ying secretly blinked at her, hid the handkerchief, and said: "Actually, who is lying will be known as long as he goes to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. In order to prove his innocence, please ask the prince to tell the matter to the Ministry of Punishment!"
Su Jiantao knelt on the ground and pleaded righteously, saying: "This matter is related to my daughter's honor and integrity, and it is also related to the reputation of my Shangshu Mansion. Please, please hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment!"..co
