Chapter 214 Complaint
If Shen Li dared, he would have a close relationship with the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion.
If he didn't dare, he would be sentenced to death for trespassing into the palace today!
After packing up, Prince Ning went straight to the palace.
The palace gate had not yet been locked.
The lights were bright in the imperial study.
The emperor, who had just finished his midnight snack, was still worrying about the grain transport.
Princess Fu Rui was imprisoned by him, and the one who reacted the most was not the Shi family, to whom Princess Fu Rui's only daughter married, nor the Prince of Ning Mansion, but the Queen Mother, who was always jumping up and down.
That's right.
The Queen Mother was Fu Rui's biological mother. When her daughter disappeared, the mother was naturally anxious.
But he was also the Queen Mother's biological son, Fu Rui's biological brother.
Why didn't they care so much about him?
The Queen Mother and the Queen were both women of the Su family of the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion. Compared with him as a son and husband, they valued their Su family's century-old foundation more.
They were not his relatives, they were the prince party.
Three cold words: Prince's Party.
As for Fu Rui, his sister
Is she a Prince's Party, Prince Ning's Party, or something else?
Feeling irritated and aggrieved, the emperor sighed and picked up the memorial in front of him for approval.
He must start the grain transport this year.
The emperor was worried, and the eunuch chief stepped forward and reported, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Ning wants to see you."
The emperor was stunned.
His eyes slowly moved from the memorial to the eunuch chief's face, with a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Him?"
The eunuch chief nodded, "It seems that he has suffered some grievances, his eyes are red, maybe he has cried."
The emperor raised his eyebrows.
Is he unable to sit still?
For a moment, the Emperor was a little confused about the reason why Prince Ning entered the palace late at night. He took a breath, picked up the hot tea and took a sip, "Announce."
After receiving the order to see the Emperor, Prince Ning stood pitifully in front of the table and saluted the Emperor, saying: "It is my fault for disturbing my brother late at night, but I..."
As he spoke, his voice choked and he knelt down.
He ignored his old body and dignity.
"I hope my brother will make the decision for me!"
The Emperor frowned and looked at him, "Get up and talk, you are so old! Why are you still like a child?"
Prince Ning knelt and did not move, "My brother is really wronged! My brother!"
The Emperor rolled his eyes immediately.
"You said this as if no one is wronged.
The Queen Mother, my own mother, and the Duke of Zhenguo bullied me. If I am not wronged, who should I go to? Kneel at the imperial mausoleum and ask the ancestors to show their spirits?"
Prince Ning
Ah?
Looking at the emperor blankly for a moment, Prince Ning just couldn't react to what was going on at the moment.
Didn't he come here to complain?
What did the emperor mean by this?
The emperor rolled his eyes at Prince Ning again.
"Get up quickly. I'm already upset enough. Don't add fuel to the fire. What big thing happened that made you stay up late at night to complain?"
Prince Ning wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, hesitated, and stood up.
He was afraid that if he didn't get up, the situation would be completely out of control.
What if he didn't complain, and the emperor pulled him to complain, who would he go to for justice.
The prince had a seat granted by the emperor when he met the emperor.
The eunuch chief steward brought hot tea, and Prince Ning said, "Brother, just a few days ago, my son left the capital without being summoned and went to Pingzhou."
The emperor snorted coldly, didn't speak, just played with a string of jade beads, and looked at Prince Ning faintly.
Prince Ning smiled bitterly: "I know that the emperor has known about this matter for a long time. I thank you for your generosity and trust."
The emperor raised his eyebrows and said nothing.
Prince Ning said: "In fact, that wicked boy left the capital without being summoned and went to Pingzhou. I was also very angry. I scolded him as soon as he came back, but...but."
Prince Ning looked at the emperor with a look of hesitation.
The emperor continued to ignore him.
Prince Ning could not wait for the emperor to speak up, so he could only sigh to himself, "The reason why that wicked boy left the capital for Pingzhou was because he heard that there was a girl in Pingzhou who looked almost the same as Shen Mingyue."
The emperor paused playing with the jade string.
"My brother knows that Shen Mingyue's death had a huge impact on him. He has not been able to let it go for so long. When he suddenly got the news, he went to look for her without hesitation."
"Found her?"
"Last time, he heard that the girl was in Pingzhou, so he rushed to Pingzhou, but found nothing.
He was unwilling to give up, and was afraid that my brother would blame him for being away from Beijing for a long time, so he left his followers in Pingzhou to inquire about it, and he came back first.
As a result, a few days ago, his followers really brought back a girl.
At first glance, the girl looked almost exactly like Shen Mingyue."
The emperor's eyes twitched, "Is there really such a thing?"
Prince Ning sighed, "Who said it wasn't! I am also shocked that there is such a similar person in the world, but...but."
Prince Ning's voice choked again.
Emperor
Oh, here comes the point.
The emperor changed his sitting position and looked at Prince Ning with vigor.
Prince Ning sighed, "On the second day after that wicked son brought that girl back, that is, today, just now, the Shadow Commander led almost all the Shadows to attack my brother's residence."
Even though the emperor was prepared to welcome the key points that Prince Ning wanted to say, he was still shocked when he heard it.
"What did you say?"
Prince Ning said pitifully, aggrieved and angry: "Shen Li said that the girl was his fiancée!"
As he said that, Prince Ning stood up again and bowed to the emperor.
"Brother Emperor, my mansion is a royal palace. Shen Li led his men to kill people. How could my mansion withstand the shadow killing?
Not only was there a river of blood, but Shen Li said that his fiancée was frightened and forced me to pay 500,000 taels of silver before he withdrew!"
The Emperor looked at Prince Ning, "You paid the compensation?"
Prince Ning
Is this the point?
Nodding, "If he doesn't compensate me and doesn't withdraw his troops, what can I do!"
"You have so much cash in your house?"
King Ning
Ignoring the embarrassment in front of him and the pit he dug, he said, "Brother, please make the decision for me. I have never heard of Shen Li having a fiancée. I asked about the girl, and she is just an ordinary peasant girl in Qinghe County."
The emperor was silent for a moment, "You mean, you want me to ask Shen Li if the girl is his fiancée?"
"If she is a fiancée, it's fine. It's my rebellious son who went too far. No matter who it is, if the fiancée is kidnapped, he will be furious, not to mention that the man is the leader of the Shadow."
Having said this, King Ning gritted his teeth and looked like he couldn't bear it any more.
"But, even if she is his fiancée, I am still a prince. He could have come to the door and explained it directly. Am I an unreasonable person?
He just brought people to kill me. I feel really bad!
What's more, this person may not really be his fiancée.
I beg my brother to make the decision for me."
