A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Minister Hu's words made Emperor Xuande feel deeply unhappy.

During this period of time, because of taking the magic pill, he felt like he was back to his twenties.

Unconsciously, my psychology has also changed.

Before, he thought that birth, aging, sickness and death were the normal state of life, so he had to choose a suitable successor for the Great Zhou.

Song Hongshen was very loyal to his ancestry, and after being named the crown prince, he even sighed that he had done justice to his ancestors.

But in recent months, he often regretted appointing a crown prince too early.

He believed that as long as he continued to take the elixir, he could continue to rule for decades or even hundreds of years.

Then the prince would become a decoration, or perhaps even a threat.

So when Minister Hu said this, Emperor Xuande agreed deeply with it.

He unconsciously glanced at Song Hongshen, a look that revealed suspicion, doubt, and dissatisfaction.

Wang Jinyao also raised her head at this time, and she felt panicked when she saw that the emperor seemed to be taking his anger out on the prince.

Then she angrily scolded Su Zhilan, "Princess Anping, are you doing this to your cousin, the Crown Prince? How dare you do such a treasonous thing for your own selfish desires?"

"Your Majesty, I think this was all done by Princess Anping alone, and has nothing to do with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so innocent, yet he has to deal with such a heartless Crown Princess."

Wang Jinyao thought that what she said was of great quality.

On the one hand, it can show her goodwill to Song Hongshen and let him know that she is truly doing this for his own good.

Furthermore, after hearing her words, the prince's confidants would agree with her, thus clearing the prince of suspicion.

The last sentence could even allow His Majesty to directly deprive Su Zhilan of her position as Crown Princess.

She had made great contributions in saving the emperor, and she expressed her feelings for the Crown Prince on the spot. The Emperor would agree to her request in consideration of her contribution.

Wang Jinyao had anticipated one thing correctly: two people from the prince's party did want to stand up and speak.

They were afraid that Su Zhilan would implicate His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so they wanted to distance themselves from the matter first.

But as soon as he moved, Song Hongshen glanced over with a warning.

Seeing this, the two men sat down again awkwardly.

So after Wang Jinyao finished speaking, no one in the hall agreed.

After a long while, Minister Hu finally said, "I think what Miss Wang said makes sense."

Before Minister Hu finished his words, Song Hongshen grabbed the chopsticks on the table and threw them out.

One of the two chopsticks hit Minister Hu's mouth. Minister Hu screamed and something seemed to fall out of his mouth, followed by blood.

The other chopstick was directly inserted into Minister Hu's bun.

When everyone reacted and looked over, they discovered that the Crown Prince had knocked out Minister Hu's front teeth.

Minister Hu's mouth was full of blood and he could only cover it with a handkerchief, unable to utter a word.

Emperor Xuande was furious when he saw this. "Hongshen, what are you doing?"

Song Hongshen snorted, "He cannot slander the Crown Princess who is not yet married to me. Who the hell does he think he is? How dare he slander me in front of me."

Wang Jinyao couldn't help but speak, "Crown Prince cousin, how can such a vicious woman be worthy of being the Crown Princess?"

Song Hongshen looked at Wang Jinyao as if she were a fool. "You feel regretful that you didn't get beaten?"

Wang Jinyao was stunned, "What do you mean, cousin?"

Song Hongshen stood up with a sneer and walked in front of Wang Jinyao.

A look of disgust and sinister intent swept across her face, "I didn't do anything to you, first because you are a woman, and second because of my relationship with my uncle."

"If you say one more word, you will suffer the same fate as Minister Hu."

After saying this, Song Hongshen looked at the Minister of Justice Wang Jian meaningfully.

At this time, Wang Jian was also full of bitterness and helplessness. He had no idea about these things.

I just guessed what happened from the few words my wife and daughter said.

If he had known earlier, there would be no such trouble. Even if she broke her daughter's legs, she would not let her cause such a big disaster.

Seeing the prince looking at him, Wang Jian once again cursed his wife and daughter in his heart.

They really don't know their place. They want to move Princess Anping without even considering whether Prince Ning's Mansion, the Shen family, or the Song family would agree.

Now only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spoke, while Lord Shen and His Royal Highness Prince Ning were still sitting there calmly.

Why did the mother and daughter think that they could kill Princess Anping with such a crude trick?

I'm not afraid of being stupid, but I'm afraid of being so stupid that I don't even know it.

Wang Jian is the current head of the Wang family. At this moment, his mind was racing, thinking about how to reduce the impact of this incident on the Wang family.

Wang Jinyao was so frightened by Song Hongshen that she shrank her neck. The look in his eyes when he looked at her was terrifying and sinister.

Immediately afterwards, Song Hongshen walked to Su Zhilan, stretched out his hand and pulled her up.

He whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

He raised his voice again, "Father, I can prove that Princess Anping has nothing to do with this matter. She is young and timid, so she should stop kneeling."

Emperor Xuande saw that Song Hongshen was blatantly protecting his own people, and glared at him angrily, "Evidence? Then present your evidence."

If he really had evidence, it wouldn't matter whether Su Zhilan was kneeling or sitting.

Song Hongshen protected Su Zhilan behind him, then looked at Taoist Zhihuai.

"I heard that the Taoist priest used to practice in Yuqing Temple in Chizhou Prefecture?"

Taoist Zhihuai's heart skipped a beat, but he still replied calmly, "Yes, I am indeed practicing in Yuqing Temple in Chizhou Prefecture."

Song Hongshen added: "Two years ago, a murder occurred in Yuqing Temple. A female pilgrim died in the temple."

"Does the Taoist priest know?"

Taoist Zhi Huai only felt a thin layer of sweat on his back and replied, "I know a thing or two."

Song Hongshen looked at him coldly, smiled sarcastically, and then spoke in a low voice.

"The woman is a farmer living at the foot of the mountain. Her father-in-law has passed away, her mother-in-law is bedridden, and her husband broke his leg while hunting."

"She serves her mother-in-law and takes care of her husband and children all by herself."

"That day she heard that Yuqing Temple was very effective, so she wanted to go there to worship. She prayed to the gods for protection, so that her family would be safe from disasters in the future."

"But how could she know that the gods do not appear in the world, but the evil spirits are in the human world."

"Some Taoist priests on the mountain got drunk and raped the sister-in-law. She hit her head against the wall and died on the spot."

"Later I heard that her husband crawled to the government office to seek justice for her. But he was humiliated and beaten by the people at the government office. On his way home, he fell into a ditch and died. Now there is a bedridden old lady at home with two children. The seven or eight-year-old children have to work in the fields."

"This matter caused a big stir, and it even reached the prefecture. Those people spent a lot of money and were spared the death penalty. Now they are still imprisoned in the prison of Chizhou Prefecture."
