Chapter 108: Su Yueying is not destined to be the prince's consort
The scandal between Su Yueying and Xiao Nanchuan in Prince Su's Mansion made Emperor Jing Zhao very angry.
The royal dignity cannot be violated, and the emperor's majesty cannot be challenged.
Regardless of whether there is any hidden story behind this matter, the fact that the two have made peace is a fact.
How could Emperor Jing Zhao and the eldest prince swallow such disgusting anger?
"Brother, please calm down. This matter is really strange and there are still many doubts. The Saint and Qing An are probably being tricked by someone with ulterior motives."
Su Yueying knelt aside, covering her face and sobbing.
The scene at that time was so embarrassing. So many people saw her naked body. Even if she was thick-skinned, she felt ashamed to face others.
It had been a long time since Prince Rui had been so nervous in front of the emperor. He knelt on the ground, and from time to time he glanced at Prince Su, who was standing beside him and was not affected by fame or disgrace. It was obvious that he had some hidden meaning.
Although Emperor Jing Zhao was angry, emperors have always been suspicious since ancient times, especially when it comes to matters involving Prince Su, he would be even more cautious.
Prince Su naturally knew that since this matter happened in his Prince Su’s Mansion, Emperor Jing Zhao would definitely be suspicious.
So he presented the witnesses, evidence, and results of the investigation one by one. After some careful investigation, he came to the truth that Princess Rui tried to discredit Prince Su's Mansion by destroying Su Yunling, but her painstaking design provided an opportunity for the drunk Xiao Nanchuan and Su Yueying to have an affair.
Princess Rui was overwhelmed by panic and was on the verge of collapse, but when she heard that all the evidence pointed to her, she immediately shook her head to deny it.
She told everything she knew without hesitation, saying that Su Yueying was the mastermind and she was just an accomplice.
They wanted to deal with Su Yunling, but were harmed by Su Yunling instead. She said that Su Yunling was the culprit and they were all victims.
Prince Su refuted on the spot, saying that Princess Rui's accusation was completely groundless, and Su Yunling was still ill after taking Chinese medicine, so she was just a victim in this matter.
Su Yueying's mind was in a mess. Before she could stop Princess Rui, Princess Rui had already shaken her out.
Fortunately, Princess Rui did not have any evidence to accuse Su Yunling, so her words were not credible.
To take a step back, even if what she said was true, it was they who first intended to harm others, and then they were retaliated against.
Whether Su Yunling is guilty or not remains to be determined, but Princess Rui cannot escape the charges.
King Rui was so angry that he covered his chest and said, "What can I say to this good son of yours, who was raised by an ignorant and foolish woman?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was confused for a moment and that's why I implicated Qing'an. Qing'an didn't mean it..."
At this point, Princess Rui could only take the blame and try her best to save her son.
Emperor Jing Zhao's anger was difficult to calm down.
The development of this matter was due to a combination of factors.
If no one had deliberately sent away the attendants along the way, and if Xiao Nanchuan had not followed Su Yueying immediately after seeing her leave the table... this would not have been accomplished.
So even if it was really a plan by someone with ulterior motives, Su Yueying and Xiao Nanchuan could not be said to be innocent.
Xiao Nanchuan had no way to refute this point.
At that time, someone came to tell him that Su Yueying fell into the water in the garden. He left his seat and rushed over without thinking.
If he had observed etiquette and followed the rules for men and women, he would not have fallen into the trap.
"Xiao Nanchuan, do you admit your guilt?" The emperor's mighty power was released, forcing Xiao Nanchuan to not dare to look up.
Prince Rui still wanted to plead for his son, but he knew his royal brother's personality, and he knew that what Xiao Nanchuan had done this time would not be forgiven.
Because the woman he had an affair with was of a very special status.
Su Yueying is tied to the destiny of the Great Yin nation, and if nothing unexpected happens, she will be the future Queen of the Great Yin. But now she has lost her virginity to Xiao Nanchuan. This situation is really embarrassing.
Emperor Jing Zhao annulled Su Yueying's engagement with the eldest prince on the spot, and ordered her to be stripped of her status as the Holy Maiden of Great Yin.
So what if she is the daughter of national destiny? A dirty daughter of national destiny is no different from a dead fly. They cannot swallow it.
However, considering that she was linked to the fate of the country, she was exempted from the death penalty and punishment, but was not allowed to marry without permission.
Su Yueying's body swayed and she collapsed to the ground. Xuan Mo, who was standing beside her, had cold eyes, but did not interfere with Emperor Jing Zhao's decision.
Because this is not a bad thing for Su Yueying now.
If something like this happened, and she still occupied the status of a saint, it would probably cause public outrage.
After all, no one could accept a saint who had an affair with a man without a matchmaker. Even if she was framed, who cared?
Others only see the fact that she is no longer noble and holy.
Therefore, it is not a bad thing to stay out of the limelight at a time like this. As long as you have the green mountains, you will have peace of mind.
As for Xiao Nanchuan, he was directly deposed as the crown prince by Emperor Jing Zhao, and he would have no chance to inherit the throne in the future. After being beaten with a stick fifty times, he was sent to the northern border to guard the frontier, and was not allowed to return to the capital without being summoned.
Princess Rui was caned 30 times and confined to her room for one year.
King Rui was fined three thousand taels of gold for failing to manage his household properly, and his fief was reduced by half within two years.
Emperor Jing Zhao’s punishment on Prince Rui’s family was not severe, because he was his only brother.
If anyone else committed such a disrespectful act, they would end up dead.
It is even very likely that all nine generations of the family will be executed.
But for Xiao Nanchuan and Princess Rui, this was a life worse than death.
Xiao Nanchuan lost his title of Crown Prince and was forced to leave his family and go to guard the harsh northern border. The position of Crown Prince was bound to fall to someone else. Princess Rui had worked so hard for so long, but in the end, it was all in vain.
When Xiao Jichen told Su Yunling the news, she had already returned to the County Lord's Mansion.
Although he knew that these two men could not be killed with one stick, it was still a heavy blow. More importantly, it disrupted Su Yueying's plan.
Of course...it also disrupted her and Xiao Ji Chen's original plan.
"Didn't we agree to let Su Yueying marry the eldest prince first? Why did you do it at the last minute?"
Su Yunling found it funny, "Didn't you cover it up for me? Otherwise, how could I have done it so smoothly on my own?"
Xiao Jichen smiled broadly, "You know everything?"
She didn't know it at first, but the guards and security guards of Prince Su's Mansion were so obviously pretending to be blind and deaf that it was not difficult for her to guess that someone was asking them to cooperate with her on purpose.
"I originally planned to let her marry the eldest prince first, but who made her attack me again and again? I don't want to tolerate her anymore. There are many ways to ascend to that high position. It's not necessary to tolerate her!"
"In this case, we will have to change our plans."
"That's hard to say. Su Yueying has helpers. She must have other ways to achieve her goal."
Although this round separated Xiao Nanchuan from Su Yueying, she still had the more difficult Xuan Mo and the system by her side.
If you want to completely get rid of Su Yueying, you have to cut off all her support, otherwise she can come back to life at any time.
Su Yunling felt that it was time to meet Xuan Mo. Xuan Mo must be eager to take her life.
But she didn't expect that the three stupid brothers of the Su family would arrive before Xuan Mo.
That day, she was checking the accounts at Baicaotang when the three brothers of the Su family rushed in aggressively.
Su Hanyu came up and kicked over her tea table. "Su Yunling, how could you be so vicious? You let someone destroy Yingying's innocence and make her lose everything now. Are you very proud of it?"
"Su Yunling, you really disappoint us. As a woman, don't you understand what chastity means to a woman? I felt guilty about you before. A vicious woman like you deserves to be abused and then die in humiliation. Why are you still alive? You deserve to die!"
Su Jingyi clenched his fists so hard that they made a crisp sound, and the malice in his eyes almost solidified into substance.
Su Yunling looked at Su Jingyi quietly, and saw the black energy gathering around him, like a demon with bared fangs and claws, ready to devour him at any time.
This time, it's his turn!
