Mrs. Liu hurriedly opened her mouth to clear up the relationship, "Reply to the prince, I dare not... It was Mrs. Han who insisted that you could not make clothes for Miss Chen, and I was temporarily deceived..."
However, Zhao Chengyuan did not listen to her excuses and said casually, "If I make some clothes for Miss Chen, she will be beheaded. Liu Yushi's authority is quite large."
Mrs. Liu's face turned pale and she hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, "I don't dare! My Lord is a fair official, and he would never act like this! Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong with you making clothes for Miss Chen... I am just confused."
, I deserve to die for my crime... Please forgive me, Your Majesty..."
Zhao Chengyuan was unmoved and said quietly, "Since you said Mr. Liu is a fair official, there is no need for me to judge your crime. Ye Chang, go and send a message to Liu Yushi and ask him.
How to handle the matter."
Ye Chang bowed his hands in response and strode out of the flower hall.
Mrs. Liu Yushi lay on the ground with a look of despair on her face.
According to the master's cruel heart, it is impossible to sacrifice his own future to protect her. I'm afraid she will be abandoned.
Everyone in the flower hall was also shocked.
The Prince Jin they heard about had a high status and was the most indifferent prince. How could he be so ruthless?
It's so clean and tidy, yet it doesn't give you any room for maneuver!
They were extremely lucky at this time. Because of their admiration for Miss Chen's heart, they did not add insult to injury. Otherwise, their end would not be much better.
While they were rejoicing, they couldn't help but become curious. King Jin was interested in Miss Chen's...
Zhao Chengyuan looked at Mrs. Han, "Mrs. Old Duke Ding, I am here. If you don't believe me, just ask."
Mrs. Han knelt on the ground in fear and replied in a trembling voice, "I don't dare..."
She never imagined that those clothes were actually made by King Jin for Chen Youning. What did King Jin think? She was just a humble commoner who met by chance!
He was so careless about offending his courtiers, could it be possible that he was thinking of taking a concubine?
Zhao Chengyuan's voice was sharp, "You have nothing to be afraid of. If Miss Chen is thrown into prison and dies in vain because of the few clothes donated by me, wouldn't it be my fault?"
Han Rui stumbled into the flower hall with a big bruise on his forehead, looking very embarrassed.
He knelt down in front of Zhao Chengyuan, "My lord, please forgive me! My mother really didn't know about it!"
Zhao Chengyuan looked calm, "If I don't know anything, I will bear an unjust reputation. Master Han, in your eyes, am I the kind of person who is easy to talk to?"
Of course not.
Mother was just trying to embarrass Chen Youning. If he had tried to embarrass Chen Youning from this aspect, they would have been able to argue. But he chose not to mention the embarrassment and framed her, and directly charged her with the crime of disrespecting the royal family. He clearly wanted to send her away.
Deadly.
Even the tough prince would not do this!
Han Rui took a few steps forward and said, "My lord, please forgive me. This matter is my mother's fault. But if my mother is punished, my eldest brother will return in triumph one day and he will be sad if he finds out..."
Zhao Chengyuan paced leisurely, as if thinking.
"Ding Guo Gong is currently fighting in the frontier. I really shouldn't reprimand the court too harshly, so as not to hurt Ding Guo Gong's heart..."
Han Rui looked at him expectantly.
The eldest brother is in a high position and has 200,000 soldiers in his hands. Not everyone can shake him. Even though the king of Jin has a high status, he must be somewhat wary of him.
Zhao Chengyuan paused and said, "Master Han is a filial son, so he has taken the responsibility for his mother. Please resign yourself."
Han Rui's expression changed.
Resign?
He has been around a lot recently and spent a lot of money. Seeing that he is about to be promoted to minister, he is asked to resign at this moment!
In the eyes of the world, there is no Han Rui, only Han Jun, the Duke of Dingguo. If he loses his official position and is just a white man, wouldn't he become the laughing stock of the capital?
"Your Majesty, I am already in my senior year. If I resign at this time, I am afraid that I will not be able to do anything else..."
Zhao Chengyuan raised his eyebrows, "I have no relationship or connection with you. You don't want to give anything. Why should you ask for forgiveness from me?"
Han Rui was speechless for a moment.
He looked at his mother for help. Mother was the best at talking, and could always make a difference with half a pound.
Mrs. Han avoided his gaze and kept silent.
Although she is reluctant to give up the career that her son has earned so easily, if the King of Jin criticizes her crimes, she may be stripped of her title of Madam Yipingaoming.
When it comes to choosing the lesser of two evils, abandoning your son is the best choice.
Han Rui felt bitter in his heart. In his mother's mind, he was not as important as her reputation after all.
He knelt down and cupped his hands and said, "I am willing to resign."
Zhao Chengyuan smiled slightly, "Very good."
It was obviously a charming smile, but it made people feel chilly for no reason.
He glanced at Han Youning lightly again, turned around and left the flower hall.
Mrs. Lu happily followed her nephew out of the flower hall, and before leaving, she didn't forget to hold Han Youning's hand and say a few words of affection.
All in all, it expresses one meaning - if you have any problem, please contact Anling Houfu!
Mrs. Han gritted her teeth and went out to see Zhao Chengyuan and Mrs. Lu away.
She tried so hard, but in the end, her son lost his official position and her granddaughter's reputation was damaged. However, Chen Youning, who she wanted to kill, escaped unscathed and even became famous because of it!
Han Youning stood outside the flower hall, watching Zhao Chengyuan and the others go away.
This result was somewhat beyond her expectation.
She tried her best to make calculations, but Zhao Chengyuan could not compare with Zhao Chengyuan's few easy words.
I feel like I have no sense of accomplishment after working hard for several days.
The ladies gathered around her and held her hand affectionately to inquire. After all, she was the only one who received special treatment from the King of Jin. This was simply the honor that all ladies in the boudoir dreamed of.
"Miss Chen, are you familiar with Prince Jin?"
"Not familiar."
"Prince Jin treats you so well, do you want to have a concubine?"
"no."
"You have been with Prince Jin for so long on the boat. Do you know what kind of women he likes? Fat and thin, well-behaved and lively?"
"I don't know."
…
After asking hard to no avail, the ladies looked at Han Youning's chubby figure and fell into deep thought at the same time——
Could it be that King Jin... likes plump women?
Zhao Xiang'er also followed Princess Chengjun into the carriage.
She opened the curtain and glanced at Zhao Chengyuan who was riding in front, and couldn't help but feel chilled in her heart. She hesitated again and again, and finally did not dare to tell the story about Zhao Chengyuan saving Chen Youning from falling into the water.
She muttered, "No wonder my father said that the Seventh Emperor's Uncle was not to be messed with. Others just almost ruined his reputation, and he ended up with such a tragic end."
Princess Chengjun said quietly, "Why is he doing it for his own reputation?"
The King of Jin clearly came to support Chen Youning. But he didn't say a word about supporting him.
Zhao Xiang'er's eyes lit up and asked, "Uncle Huang, is it for Chen Youning?"
Princess Chengjun patted her gently and said, "Call me sister."
Zhao Xiang'er snorted, "No! She just ignored me..."
She paused, remembering that Chen Youning came back to look for her later, and fell into the water because of it, and added, "She looks a bit like a sister."
She opened the curtain again, and Lu Lin was beside Zhao Chengyuan, tilting his head and not knowing what he was talking about.
Zhao Xiang'er flattened her mouth and suddenly laughed.
