Chapter 518 Complaint

Rong Zhao was even more frightened. Not only did he not dare to fight back, he also cried and pulled on Lord Chu's clothes, crying, "Chu Lang, why can't I understand what you are saying..."

Before her hand could reach Lord Chu's clothes, Lord Chu pushed her away and said coldly, "Rong Zhao, you really make me sick. Get out and don't touch me again."

Then, he walked out the door without looking back.

Rong Zhao was angry, scared and ashamed. He cried bitterly and screamed, "I am a princess, how could you do this to me? How could you do this to me!"

A nun who didn't know Rong Zhao's heartache said, "Your Highness, the prince-in-law dares to hit the princess. This has never happened before in this dynasty. If you go to the emperor and Concubine Shu to rely on him, the prince-son-in-law will definitely punish you." Not good.”

Rong Zhao gave the nanny a slap in the face with his backhand and shouted, "Get out!" After thinking for a while, he wiped away his tears and said, "I want to cleanse myself and change my clothes. I will enter the palace immediately to see my mother and concubine and my father."

She wasn't going to file a complaint, she was going to save her marriage. She didn't want to let Mr. Chu go, and she didn't want anyone to blame their mother and daughter for what happened that night.

She had never been so scared. She was afraid that she would completely lose the man she had thought about for many years and had worked hard to get.

Lord Chu went directly to Wanqing Palace. Because of his previous relationship with the emperor, whether he came to Wanqing Palace, the emperor's residence, or Qianyang Palace, where he worked, it was very smooth.

At this time, the emperor was reclining on the dragon couch, and the prince sat beside him and reported to him the affairs of the court. There is an early morning court today, and the prince has just left court not long ago.

They were all surprised when they saw Lord Chu, because Lord Chu was carrying a branch on his back.

The emperor asked, "Why is Chu Aiqing like this?"

Lord Chu knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, I deserve death for my crime."

The prince asked again, "Master Chu, why is this happening?"

The Marquis of Chu kowtowed three times and said, "I was so indignant and furious that I beat Princess Rongzhao."

The emperor and the prince looked at each other and asked in unison, "What?" They all felt that they heard wrongly. Not to mention this dynasty, even the previous dynasty had never heard of a consort who beat the princess.

The Marquis of Chu added, "Princess Rongzhao's wife has done something wrong and murdered the family members of the courtiers. First, she instigated Concubine Shu to force her ex-wife, Abbot Liaochen, who had taken refuge at the home of Weichen's son, to leave Dingzhou Prefecture. Then she had people set fire to Luojiazhuang. , Wei Chen's daughter-in-law, granddaughter, nephew, niece-in-law, and abbot Liao Chen were almost burned to death. Fortunately, God showed mercy. The whole family survived. Even so, Wei Chen's granddaughter was frightened, and the maid who rescued her was seriously burned..." Before she could finish her words, she fell to the ground crying.

After hearing his words, the emperor sat up in shock, and the prince also stood up. They all said in unison, "Rong Zhao, how dare she!"

The prince added, "If she does such evil things, the laws of the country and the laws of heaven will be intolerable!"

The emperor also said, "I love you, tell me slowly, what happened? If she really did this, I will make the decision for you."

The Marquis of Chu did not get up. From last year's New Year's Eve, when the second prince's gang wanted to capture Chen alive, Concubine Ma Shu sent her servant to reprimand Chen and forced Chen out of the Chu family to live in Luojiazhuang. The story of the fire in Luojiazhuang the next night was told.

At this time, the third lady came supporting the queen, and Rong Zhao also came supporting Concubine Ma Shu.

Concubine Ma Shu and Rong Zhao did not acknowledge the accusations made by the Marquis of Chu. Concubine Ma Shu cried to the emperor first, "Your Majesty, they said that I and Rong Zhao set fire to people, so they need to provide evidence. We two mothers will not bear this accusation. The group who set fire must be the second prince. Everyone knows that the second prince and his party hate Chu's consort. They have no choice but to take it out on Chu's concubine's family... Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for your concubine and Rong Zhao. "

Then he cried to the Marquis of Chu, "Consort, son-in-law, I really didn't send anyone to burn the Luo family village. I'm not stupid. How could I drive Chen out of the Chu family today and then send people to burn it the next day?" She lives in Zhuangzi. Isn't this obviously suspicious? Don't hate Rong Zhao. I sent someone to reprimand Chen. She didn't know. The reason why I did this was because I wanted you and Rong Zhao to have a good life. . I thought that since I have become a monk, I can’t be so concerned about worldly affairs and live in the secular world..."

Mrs. Chu San sneered, "Concubine Shu has completely shied away the responsibility. No one is a fool. The one who wants Chen Chen to die the most is none other than Rong Zhao. You have made a series of tricks to harm others, and you still Refuse to admit it."

Rong Zhao said, "Hua Chang, catch thieves and dirty people, catch adulterers and cheaters, you are unjust and unfair. Although I can't stand Chen, I'm not cruel enough to burn her to death. I treat her sincerely." Chu Lang’s sake, I wouldn’t do that for Chu Lang.”

The queen sighed, "Rong Zhao, don't pretend to be so innocent. Putting aside this matter, you have done harm to the Chu family. Since you keep saying that you sincerely treat Mr. Chu, why don't you treat her family well?" What? Alas, God is watching. No matter who does such evil things, they will be punished. "

The two women gritted their teeth and refused to admit it. It was the Marquis of Chu who had thought of it in advance. It is true that the Marquis of Chu cannot provide evidence now, but he knows that the emperor and the prince know something. Not to mention that this matter must have been done by Concubine Ma Shu and her daughter, even if it was not done by them, based on the fact that they and the second prince worked together to design important court officials in the past, and the emperor's original promise, the emperor must also deal with them.

The emperor originally wanted to cheat and use Rong Zhao to suppress Lord Chu. But the mother and daughter didn't understand the emperor's mind and thought that the emperor still cared about the father-daughter relationship, so they were reluctant to deal with Rong Zhao. Now that things have become so serious, if the emperor dares to continue to indulge Rong Zhao and her daughter, not to mention the Chu family, even other ministers will be disappointed.

The emperor looked at Lord Chu, who was full of grief, and then looked at the women who were arguing, and felt angry. He coughed violently a few times, and after the eunuch wiped his back, he said, "Prince, Chu Aiqing stays, and you can leave."

The third lady supported Queen Shan again, and Rong Zhao supported Concubine Ma Shu, and they saluted the emperor and left.

In the afternoon, the impeachment of Rong Zhao flew into the palace like snowflakes. Not only did they say that she framed the family of an important official, but they also said that the reason why the Queen Mother was seriously ill was because Rong Zhao had done something bad and angered the "Bird Fairy"...

The Chu family in Dingzhou Prefecture was full of singing and laughter.

After everyone had dinner, Chen Afu sent them out of the main courtyard and took Chu Hanyan to Luomei Temple. Liaochen was still chanting in the small Buddhist hall. Chen Afu and the others did not see her, so they had to greet her outside the door before returning to the main courtyard.
