Chapter 401 The Socially Horrible Princess and Her Secret Guards 25
*
In the court, Yun Wu suddenly ran in from outside and stood in front of Rong Jin.
She was wearing an apricot-colored winter coat with a light red fox fur coat over it, which made her look plump and round.
A pair of small and delicate faces were looking fiercely at the two guards who were about to step forward to arrest Rong Jin.
Behind her, Rong Jin had a faint smile in his eyes. If it weren't for the wrong time and so many people watching.
He really wanted to go up and hug his little Wu, and then kiss her madly...
Fennel, who was hiding outside the hall, looked at her little princess with a worried look on her face.
Originally, the princess and she came here to peek and eavesdrop, but Lord Zheng said he wanted to arrest Rong Jin, so the princess ran in without her noticing.
"Princess..."
The guard stared at Yun Wu in a daze. With the princess around, they certainly didn't dare to take a step forward.
All the court officials raised their hands in salute.
"Your subjects are here to see the princess."
After paying his respects, Lord Zheng said to the princess with a hint of disdain in his eyes:
"Princess, you dared to enter the court without permission. You are so brave. The royal family is guilty of the same crime as the common people. If the princess interferes with the handling of criminals again, don't blame His Majesty for punishing you - Ouch!"
Before Lord Zheng could finish his words, he was kicked to the ground by the emperor who came down from above.
The emperor frowned and looked angrily at Lord Zheng who was lying on the ground in a very embarrassed state.
"You've already made decisions for me before I've even spoken. How about letting you sit on my throne?"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me..."
Lord Zheng knelt on the ground and said that even the official hat on his head was kicked off.
Xiao Che and other ministers around him didn't dare to say a word.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the emperor doted on and indulged the princess, and he even protected her when she broke into the court.
"Father!"
Yun Wu stepped forward and grabbed the sleeve of the emperor's dragon robe, and said anxiously:
"Father, please don't let the guards take him away first. Can you listen carefully to what he says?"
The emperor looked at Rong Jin, who was kneeling there, with a serious expression, and then nodded.
Even if his precious daughter doesn't say anything, he has to listen.
"Why should I kill the King of Jin? Because the people who killed my parents and more than 200 people in the Si family were the King of Jin and his trusted subordinates."
Rong Jin spoke calmly, his eyes sparkling, and then asked Bai Shu behind him to present the collected evidence.
As soon as Rong Jin's words came out, everyone in the court was surprised, shocked and unbelievable.
"how can that be possible……"
Xiao Che's figure swayed, and his eyes widened somewhat frighteningly.
"How could my father be the murderer who murdered the Si family?!"
The emperor's face looked a little heavy. The eunuch Li Quan beside him stepped forward to get the evidence and read it out.
"Nanyang County Governor Xiao Chengcai is a close relative of the Jin King Xiao. He has confessed that he concealed the news during the Lucheng battle more than ten years ago. He helped the Jin King and his confidants break into the Si family at night and slaughter the whole family. He also set fire to cover up the situation and announced to the outside world that the family was captured by the enemy..."
Pieces of evidence were listed one by one, even the correspondence between Prince Jin and Xiao Chengcai over the years.
As for the witnesses and evidence in the Si family massacre case, it was completely confirmed.
Xiao Che's figure was in a trance and he almost fell down. The ministers around him were all shocked and talked about it.
"It turns out that it was General Si who repelled the enemy army, not Prince Jin. The Si family was exterminated by Prince Jin!"
"Back then, everyone thought that Prince Jin had done a great deed, and he even made an exception and made a king of a different surname. Who would have thought...?"
"Prince Jin is such a vicious person. If there were no descendants of the Si family alive, we would never know the truth."
The ministers were all talking about how sorry they were for the tragedy of the Si family, and several people who were usually close to Prince Jin, including Lord Zheng, did not dare to say much.
I’m afraid I’ll get into trouble.
The emperor looked at Rong Jin, his eyes slightly red.
"So... So the truth back then was this..."
The emperor stepped forward and personally helped Rong Jin up from the ground, with a complicated expression on his solemn face.
He had a very good relationship with General Si in those days. He was his most trusted general. Even the emperor did not care at all whether handing over the military power to him would allow him to monopolize power.
When the emperor learned about the Si family tragedy, he was grief-stricken for a long time. After the fire, General Si's ashes could not be found, which made him feel even more guilty.
Rong Jin had been waiting for this day for too long. He wanted to expose what King Jin had done in front of all the court officials and avenge his parents and relatives.
Xiao Che, unable to bear the impact of this incident and exhausted, fainted on the spot.
At the morning court session, the emperor announced on the spot that the title of Prince of Jin was stripped away, and Xiao Che's title of Crown Prince was also stripped away. The Xiao family collapsed during the morning court session and faced the punishment of exile.
The emperor also ordered the heads of Prince Jin and others to be hung at the city gate as a warning and to comfort the souls of the Si family in heaven.
He also issued an order to rebuild the Si Mansion in the capital, restoring Rong Jin's identity as the son of General Rong Jin.
In a deserted corner of the corridor outside the court, Rong Jin and Yun Wu were standing face to face.
Yun Wu raised her head and looked at the tall man in armor in front of her. She was a little uncomfortable with him at first.
"Awu, have you eaten well these past two days?"
Rong Jin asked in a low voice, looking at Yun Wu with his beautiful eyes, with some longing in them.
Yun Wu was about to respond but suddenly took back her words, raised her bright eyes and glared at him angrily.
"Humph, you just ran away without saying goodbye. Fennel said you were an unfaithful man, and I think it's true."
She snorted and said this, but her eyes were quietly looking at Rong Jin, trying to see if he was injured anywhere.
When Rong Jin saw the white jade pendant vaguely visible from the fox fur coat she was wearing, he knew that his Ah Wu was saying one thing and thinking another.
"It's my fault, Awu."
Rong Jin quickly agreed, then took two steps closer, staring at Yun Wu with his straight eyes as if to apologize.
He hasn’t kissed Awu for two days…
While Yun Wu was still somewhat unresponsive, Rong Jin leaned over and kissed her pink lips.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from beside me.
"Ahhh!"
Yun Wu turned her head blankly and saw that the emperor had stood aside at some point, dancing and screaming. Li Quan, who was standing beside her, was frightened by him...
It’s over, it’s over, it’s over. Her father saw it.
The emperor was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out. Yun Wu's cheeks were flushed, and she said at a loss:
"Father, Father, I haven't told you yet, he was my maid before..."
"what?!"
The emperor's eyes almost fell out as he looked at the only remaining descendant of the Si family in front of him. Just now in the palace, he had sworn that they only looked alike.
"Then, then, then what did you just do--"
Compared to Yun Wu's blushing and helpless look, Rong Jin seemed very calm and composed.
He took a step forward and raised his hand to bow, then said seriously:
"Father-in-law."
what?
The emperor and Li Quan looked at Rong Jin in a daze. He felt like his cerebellum had atrophied.
