After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

Xiao Jingshuo and Xia sat with Concubine Xia for a while. Just as they were about to leave, a eunuch came to announce that the emperor had summoned them.

Xiao Jingshuo asked: "What's going on?"

The eunuch said: "Seventh Master and the Crown Princess met, and I don't know what happened, but Seventh Master actually beat the Crown Princess!"

Xiao Jingshuo's first reaction was that this was absolutely impossible, unless Xiao Qiru was crazy!

Beating his sister-in-law is a serious crime, especially since Xiao Chengji is fighting for his country, leaving behind his young son and weak wife. If Xiao Qirui really hits her, he will never be looked at straight in the eye in his life.

Xiao Jingshuo raised his foot and said, "Is he crazy? Is this true?"

"It has reached the Emperor."

Xiao Jingshuo smacked his lips.

Not only is he bold, but he is also hard-hearted. To be honest, with such a stunning beauty standing in front of him, Xiao Jingshuo couldn't bring himself to do anything, let alone do something wrong, even if he made a huge mistake.

Xia also stood up hastily: "This bastard! It's ok for him to hit his own wife, but he actually hit the third brother's woman!"

Xiao Jingshuo asked: "He beat the Seventh Prince's wife? Did you know?"

Xia nodded: "When I went to their house to play before, Jiaolian had a big slap mark on her face. Who else could have hit her except him?"

The two men soon arrived before the emperor.

Yan Yu knelt on the ground without saying a word, with tears on his face.

Xiao Qirui was still arguing: "Father, please understand! She is my sister-in-law, and this is the palace. Even if I have the guts to do anything to her, I dare not do anything to her."

The emperor looked at the palace maids and eunuchs who were passing by and said, "You dare to lie? Take them all away and execute them."

Several people trembled and cried, saying that they saw nothing. A brave man stepped forward and said, "I saw His Highness the Seventh Prince angrily calling the Crown Princess a bitch, and then he pushed the Crown Princess and almost pushed her to the ground."

The emperor looked at Xiao Qirui with anger in his eyes: "Do you have any excuses?"

Xiao Qirui was dumbfounded. He never expected that a palace servant would hear this.

Then, he said without hesitation: "My third brother left the capital, and my third sister-in-law was lonely in her room. She said seductive words to me. I felt sorry for my third brother, so I took action against her."

Yan Yu stood up and bumped into the pillar without saying a word.

The palace maids and eunuchs beside her were horrified and quickly hugged her.

Xiao Jingshuo and Xia Shi happened to arrive. Seeing this scene, Xiao Jingshuo was furious: "Seventh Brother, do you still have any sense of shame? You slandered the innocence of the third sister-in-law. Aren't you afraid that the third brother will come back and kill you?"

Xiao Qirui said: "Father, everything I said is true."

Xiao Jingshuo was furious: "Father, Old Seven is slandering Third Sister-in-law! Third Sister-in-law has always been dignified, and there are constant exchanges of people in the palace. She is with more than a dozen maids and maids, among whom Aunt Deng is an old woman who has served Third Brother for many years. Do you really believe that she would seduce Old Seven in front of so many maids and maids? Old Seven doesn't even take a mirror to look at himself. How can he compare to Third Brother?"

Xia quickly chimed in: "Father, before we left, the Seventh Master was not in a good mood. He was wronged in the court and got angry everywhere. He even beat his wife at home before."

Yan Yu knelt on the ground again: "At that time, when Sixth Master and Xia had just left, Seventh Master said that the prince was lucky and he was not as lucky as the prince. I saw that Seventh Master's evaluation of the prince was a bit biased, so I defended the prince. I didn't expect that Seventh Master's face changed drastically. Not only did he insult me, he also hit me..."

Even if there weren't so many people speaking for Yan Yu, the emperor would not believe Xiao Qirui based on what he had done for such a long time.

Yan Yu's tears fell again: "The prince is fighting outside, and I am looking forward to his triumphant return. I didn't expect that the Seventh Master is so vicious and would tarnish my reputation. For the sake of the reputation of the Prince's Mansion, I am willing to die as a proof."

As soon as she finished speaking, she pulled out the golden hairpin in her hair and stabbed herself in the throat.

After what happened just now, the eunuch was afraid of something going wrong this time, so he snatched the hairpin back when she tried to pull it out.

The emperor kicked Xiao Qirui in the chest: "What else can you say? Are you happy if I force your third sister-in-law to death?"

Xiao Qirui opened his mouth but couldn't utter a word for a long time.

He certainly couldn't tell the emperor everything that happened at that time.

If the emperor knew that he had colluded with the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple to frame Shao Kuan, his end would be even more miserable.

The Crown Princess put this plan together perfectly.

First, he was insulted by the emperor in the court, and he was filled with anger.

Later, palace maids and eunuchs became witnesses, and Lao Liu and Xia saw the whole story.

Even though Xiao Qirui was eloquent, he still couldn't make the emperor believe him.

Xiao Qirui closed his eyes.

He underestimated the woman's scheming.

Since Xiao Chengji didn't resort to such insidious tactics, Xiao Qiru thought that Yan Yu was also a simple-minded and straightforward person.

Unexpectedly, this woman was so insidious that he caught him off guard and didn't give him any chance to resist.

"You are unfilial and full of lies!" Emperor Jianxing looked at Xiao Qirui with increasing disgust, "How could I have given birth to a son like you!"

This matter must never be spread out.

If outsiders knew that the prince had just left the capital and his brothers bullied his powerless wife, where would the royal family save face?

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. In the past, the emperor had never thought of killing his own son.

But today, he rarely had the intention to kill.

Xiao Qirui looked at the emperor's cold eyes, felt the murderous intent in them, and his heart slowly grew cold.

At this time, Queen Mother Zheng hurried in from outside, leaning on a cane, with the gentle and timid Zheng Shi by her side.

The emperor said: "Take the seventh prince to the Ministry of Justice, lock him up, and re-examine him later."

Everyone knew that princes were not easily sent to the Ministry of Justice, and the emperor's words of "retrial in the future" were actually forcing the seventh prince to die in prison.

"How dare you!" The Queen Mother was furious, "This is your own son!"

"I am the true dragon emperor. I cannot give birth to a son who acts like a rat." The emperor said coldly, "Raped Miss Ma, disrespected his own sister-in-law, and beat his own wife. Mother, do you think these are things a prince can do?"

"Miss Ma is not disciplined herself and took the initiative to seduce Rui'er. Otherwise, why would Rui'er touch her when there are so many other palace maids?" The Queen Mother asked, "Lian'er, tell me, has Rui'er ever hit you?"

Zheng opened her mouth.

She didn't dare to look at the emperor, let alone Yan Yu, and whispered: "Seventh Master is gentle and polite, and has never blushed with me."

"There are so many misunderstandings. The matter with the Crown Princess must be another misunderstanding. Rui'er, you and your third sister-in-law should apologize, and this matter will be over." The Queen Mother said, "Emperor, Rui'er is your own son. If you want to send him to the Ministry of Justice, you must let me go with you!"

Emperor Jianxing felt a headache and said, "Mother, please go back. I will handle this matter."

The Queen Mother did not listen to him and asked the eunuchs beside her to help Xiao Qirui up and take him back by force.
