Fortunate Young Gentleman

Looking at Tang Ning's gloomy face, cold sweat began to seep out of the Minister of Justice's forehead.

The one who was arrested by the Ministry of Justice was not someone else, but the Lord of the Western Regions, who was of the same status as their Majesty.

Not to mention that he was very likely framed, even if he was really involved in a murder case, it was not something the Ministry of Justice could handle.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looked at Tang Ning, and smiled: "My Lord, please calm down. I will definitely investigate this matter and give you an explanation..."

After that, he looked at the head of the police, his face sank, and he said angrily: "Tell me, what is going on!"

This matter was not something he could handle, and he couldn't suppress it. The only thing he could do was to find out the whole story before His Majesty sentenced him.

The head constable knelt on the ground with a plop, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, it's the young master!"

...

The prince of Xian and his entourage came to the Ministry of Justice. A young man walked up, looked at the yamen runners of the Ministry of Justice, and asked: "Where is the person who was arrested just now?"

The constable said: "In the Shangshu Yamen."

"No way..." The young man showed a look of surprise on his face, "This matter even alarmed my father?"

The constable looked up at him, then quickly lowered his head and said: "The master asked the young master to go to the Shangshu Yamen as well."

The young man's face was still suspicious, and he was uneasy when he walked towards the Shangshu Yamen. If his father knew that he used the yamen runners of the Ministry of Justice to seek personal gain, he would definitely not have a good result.

But fortunately, the prince of Xian was also involved in today's matter. This person was a big shot who really wanted to curry favor with him, and he should turn a blind eye.

He walked into the Shangshu Yamen, looked up, and a chill rushed from the coccyx to the brain, and the whole person shivered.

In the Shangshu Yamen, the head of the Ministry of Justice, his father, whom he was extremely afraid of, stood below with his hands hanging down, while the young man who was arrested by him and taken to the Ministry of Justice sat steadily in the main seat, drinking the good tea that even his father was reluctant to drink.

If he had not seen the emperor before, he would have thought that the other party was the emperor.

"Rebellious son, kneel down!"

The roar of the Minister of Justice made the young man's body tremble, and he knelt on the ground without hesitation.

Even his father had to stand in front of that man, so how could he dare to resist at all?

The Minister of Justice glared at him and said angrily, "Why don't you apologize to the king?"

"King?" The young man was in fear, and a trace of astonishment appeared on his face when he heard the words. He blurted out, "What king?"

The Minister of Justice stepped forward, slapped him on the head, and said angrily, "This is the King of Xiaowan. What happened just now? Tell me the truth!"

"Xiao, King of Xiaowan..." The young man trembled again, and looked at Tang Ning with fear.

The unified Western Regions were no less than their Chu State, and he had just brought the King of Xiaowan to the Ministry of Justice. What was the difference between this and him having someone arrest His Majesty?

In just a moment, he clearly realized that this matter was definitely not something he could bear.

The next moment, he immediately said, "It's His Royal Highness..."

The Prince of Xian, who was standing outside the door and eavesdropping, shook his body, his face was gloomy, and he cursed in his mouth.

He never thought that the passerby who had a conflict with him was actually the King of Xiaowan. Why did the King of Xiaowan come to Chu State instead of staying in the Western Regions?

He cursed the son of the Minister of Justice in his heart, but he was unwilling to stay in the Ministry of Justice any longer, so he turned around and walked out with a gloomy face.

When he returned to his temporary residence in Kyoto, King Xian saw that he looked unhappy and asked, "What happened?"

"It's really unlucky..." The prince of King Xian waved his hand and said, "I accidentally provoked the King of Xiaowan..."

"What?" King Xian's face changed drastically when he heard this, and asked, "How did you offend him?"

He had just received the news that the King of Xiaowan came to Chu State. In less than an hour, his son actually provoked him?

Prince Xian glanced at him and said, "It's just a small country in the Western Regions. Father, why are you making such a fuss?"

"You are so arrogant!" Prince Xian pointed at him and said angrily, "It's just a small country in the Western Regions. Do you know that Xiaowan has unified the Western Regions? Their ruler is the same as your majesty. Not to mention that you are not the emperor yet, even if you really become the emperor, you are not qualified to say that just now!"

Prince Xian's face turned gloomy and asked, "Then what should I do?"

Prince Xian pointed at him and finally just waved his hand and said, "Tell me, how did you offend him!"

The matter involving the ruler of Xiaowan is the matter of Chu and the Western Regions. Even a small matter will become a big deal.

After the unification, Xiaowan is so powerful that even Chu dare not underestimate it. Establishing diplomatic relations with Xiaowan is a major event that is beneficial to the country.

At this time, if he offended the ruler of Xiaowan and destroyed the diplomatic relations between the two countries, he would have to apologize to the people of the country...

Even if he is the future prince, he cannot bear such a responsibility.

The prince of Xian finally realized the seriousness of the matter. His expression changed and he told the whole story of his grievances with the ruler of Xiaowan, including the fact that when he was in Xianzhou, he fell in love with the woman next to the ruler of Xiaowan and mobilized the Xianzhou garrison to besiege them...

After listening to this, the King of Xian swayed, and stood up with the help of a chair. He looked at him with a sad and angry look, and gritted his teeth and said, "Flirting with Concubine Xiaowan, besieging and killing the King of Xiaowan..., is there anything else you dare not do?"

The Prince of Xian was also very aggrieved. If he had known that the man was the King of Xiaowan, he would not have offended him. After all, in his eyes, nothing was more important than his throne. If he lost the throne that he should have gotten because of this incident, he would definitely regret it to death.

His face gradually turned pale, and he looked at King Xian and asked, "Father, His Majesty will not stop me from being the crown prince because of this matter, right..."

"I don't know..." King Xian shook his head irritably, and seeing his face getting paler, he added, "But I don't think it will be that serious. After all, they chose you with great difficulty. If you regret it again, what will happen to the credibility of the court and His Majesty?"

The prince of King Xian felt relieved, and then said indignantly, "He is so young, who would have thought that he is the ruler of Xiaowan..."

"Enough!" King Xian glanced at him and said, "You should wait and see what happens in this matter. After all, His Majesty and I are a family. He will not be cruel to you for an outsider..."

...

In the palace, in a hall somewhere.

The King of Chu took the memorial handed over by the Minister of Justice in his hand and put it on the table with a gloomy face.

He snorted coldly and said, "This is the crown prince we chose..."

Tang Ning stood aside expressionlessly. If the King of Chu agreed to his marriage with Lan Lan, then he would be his father-in-law, and he would naturally treat him as a junior.

But if he didn't agree, he would just be the King of Chu. With Tang Ning's current status, there was no need to be polite to him.

Tang Ning looked at him and said, "Your country's future crown prince flirted with my Princess Xiaowan and falsely accused me of assassinating the king. I think your majesty should give me an explanation for this matter."

From Xiaowan's perspective, this matter is naturally not a trivial matter, and it is normal for the King of Xiaowan to have such an attitude.

But he is not only the King of Xiaowan, but also the heartthrob who stole the heart of his precious daughter. When these words came out of his mouth, the King of Chu was very unhappy.

"Give you an explanation?" He looked at Tang Ning, snorted coldly, and said, "How about I give Lan Lan to you?"
