Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 376
Chapter 376 Court Questioning
The next morning.
Qi Chengfeng left the door early. Su Wanwan brought Qi Chengfeng to the gate of the relay station and went back. She did not panic at all, but she still let the two birds leave with Qi Chengfeng.
Two hours later, everyone’s faces darkened and they lowered their heads to discuss. They were talking about all sorts of calamities among the people, but they were asking Qi Sheng what he had done yesterday from the sidelines.
“Your Majesty has arrived” The eunuchs’ voices came from outside and everyone immediately fell silent.
Qi Sheng slowly walked to the dragon chair on the platform and looked around. Seeing everyone standing respectfully, he heaved a sigh of relief. Suddenly, he saw Qi Chengfeng and was stunned. In just a few seconds, he said angrily, “Qi Chengfeng! Why aren’t you wearing a royal uniform? Are you looking down on me?”
Everyone looked over and saw that Qi Chengfeng was wearing a red and white robe with a silver jade pendant hanging on his waist, which made his people even more noble and cold. However, the robe was a bit too high-key and gave off an arrogant aura.
“Your Majesty, have you forgotten? Your son’s royal uniform is still in the Third Prince’s Mansion! Now that the Third Prince’s Mansion is not clean, how dare you go in and bring a dress full of killing intent to meet you?” Qi Chengfeng’s words were reasonable and well-founded, but his expression was very indifferent. It was as if this was the case. He was wearing the right clothes.
Qi Sheng was extremely annoyed. Yesterday, that happened to him, but today, Qi Chengfeng wore red clothes and came to worship the court! Was it specifically to mock him!
Although he was angry, Qi Sheng could not find any other way to reprimand Qi Chengfeng. He could only say, “I will not punish you for today’s mistake. Stand still.”
As he spoke, Qi Sheng looked down and didn’t find Qi Delong. He heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. He really didn’t want to see Qi Delong again after what happened last night!
Qi Sheng did not want to pursue the matter of Qi Delong not going to court. However, the other ministers did not miss such a good opportunity and said, “Your Majesty! I heard that the Second Prince went out to enjoy himself yesterday. I do not know where this matter is. Your Majesty, you must punish him!”
Going out yesterday? It seems that this matter has nothing to do with him! Qi Sheng’s expression softened slightly. He wanted to punish Qi Delong to get rid of his suspicions. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Qi Chengfeng say, “Your Majesty, didn’t you feel ashamed to hear that the Second Prince was hanging out with a man yesterday? He humiliated our royal family. You don’t think he should …”
“Shut up!” Qi Sheng couldn’t help but interrupt. He looked at Qi Chengfeng with an indifferent expression, “Do you have any evidence? It’s fine to say that the Second Prince is carefree and happy, but you actually framed him for sleeping with a man! You’re still brothers, you’ve disappointed me too much!”
“This” Qi Chengfeng pondered for a moment, then lowered his head and said, “Your Majesty, do you really not know this evidence, son? However, everyone outside knows about it. Do you still need to verify the authenticity of this matter?”
“Of course! The people of the royal family cannot be humiliated! Qi Chengfeng, are you saying this after some consideration? You have disappointed me too much!” Qi Sheng swore that he wanted to get rid of his suspicions in the eyes of everyone, but the ministers all felt that Qi Sheng was trying to cover it up.
“Your Majesty, I naturally have evidence.” Qi Chengfeng said calmly.
“Where is the evidence?” A trace of panic flashed through Qi Sheng’s eyes, and he was very afraid that Qi Chengfeng would suddenly have some evidence to expose him in front of everyone.
Qi Chengfeng sighed and said, “Your Majesty, let’s not talk about this matter anymore. After all, what happened in the palace yesterday …”
“Shut up!” Upon hearing the word “palace”, Qi Sheng immediately stood up, picked up a document from the table and threw it down. With a “bang”, the document fell to the ground. Qi Sheng said angrily, “Qi Chengfeng! Where is the evidence? I want to see the evidence, not your nonsense!”
Seeing Qi Sheng’s furious appearance, everyone was a little panicked. They couldn’t help but feel anxious in their hearts. Compared to everyone else, Qi Chengfeng seemed to be extremely calm.
“Your Majesty, you want to see the evidence? I’ll take you there. However, don’t be angry when the Emperor sees the evidence. After all, the Second Prince has a father-like plot. The person who went to the Phoenix with him yesterday is quite similar to the Emperor!” Qi Chengfeng said indifferently.
If Su Wanwan heard this, she would definitely give Qi Chengfeng a backhand compliment. This “Oedipus Plot” could be said to have enlightened everyone.
“Your Majesty, I heard that the emperor and the second prince were sleeping together yesterday. I don’t know if this is true or false, but there are many rumors. Although I know that the emperor is upright, now that the third prince has said that he has evidence, why not take a look? If it is false, we will punish him. If it is true, we will punish the second prince!”
No matter what, the punisher said that it was Qi Chengfeng and Qi Delong, but not Qi Sheng. Qi Sheng was very satisfied, and he was even more dissatisfied with Qi Chengfeng’s arrogance. He nodded and said, “Qi Chengfeng, since you said you have evidence, bring it up and take a look!”
“I don’t have any here.” Qi Chengfeng shook his head.
He didn’t dare to be so arrogant!
Just as everyone was about to scoff, Qi Chengfeng said, “However, there are high spirit platforms in the capital. It seems that there are some videos and videos. Everyone can go over and take a look.”
Yesterday, Qi Chengfeng had heard a new word from Su Wanwan’s mouth, and now he said, Qi Sheng and the others were puzzled. Qi Chengfeng explained, “That video was the scene of the Second Prince sleeping with that man yesterday. Everyone wants to see the evidence. Please go and check it. Today, I saw it after hurrying past Gao Lingtai. Now, there is no malice. I’m just telling the truth.”
What do you mean by telling the truth!
Qi Sheng’s hands trembled with rage as he said, “Alright! If that is false, I will definitely punish you for the crime of deceiving the public and harming your brothers!”
“Yes.” Qi Chengfeng’s expression remained calm, but Qi Sheng panicked, letting the ministers and himself rush over.
Gao Lingtai is a place of great sacrifice in the capital. The sacrificial altar is usually used by the royal family to pray for blessings and disaster relief on important days.
At this moment, there were a few pieces of black cloth on the high spirit platform, as well as some seven or eight items. Everyone felt that it was strange. Someone had been invited over to look at the pastries. Occasionally, the items would be finished. Suddenly, a portrait appeared on the black cloth, causing everyone to scream out loud, their faces flushed red and their hearts pounding.
Su Wanwan, who was hiding in the crowd, stood on tiptoe and looked. Seeing two familiar faces on the black cloth, Su Wanwan couldn’t help but curl her lips.
Yesterday, she suddenly discovered that the Heavenly Secrets Token had a video recording function. Now that she had used some principles to enlarge the scenes she had recorded yesterday, it was no longer a rumor since she had seen too many people.
Su Wanwan looked at this scene with her hands crossed around her chest, waiting for Qi Chengfeng to lead Qi Sheng and the others over.
Not long after, Qi Sheng and the others finally arrived. Sitting on the sedan chair, Qi Sheng saw that the people in the distance were very crowded, as if they were looking at something new. He opened a curtain and said, “Who is singing there?”
How could he be singing! It was clearly his and Qi Delong’s Living Spring Palace! Everyone remained silent.
“Someone, get out of the way! The Emperor is coming!” Qi Chengfeng shouted, looking forward to Qi Sheng’s next expression.
