C62 The Son of Heaven Offends the Law and the Common People's Crimes

The people at the banquet seemed to have their own plans, as they walked straight towards the place where Rong Jiu and Dongfang Qisu had thrown Ning Xueqi.

Rong Jiu and Dong Fang Qi Su blended into the crowd. They wanted to see how Ning Rou Xue would deal with this farce and how she would react when she saw her man and his little sister lying on the ground.

"How could this be?"

When the ministers saw that their backs were turned and their mouths were saying it was impossible, Rong Jiu looked at Imperial Concubine Ning and Ning Ruxue who were standing at the front. Their expressions were as normal as usual. What was going on?

Rong Jiu instantly felt ill and squeezed to the front. His pupils constricted. How could this be?

It was clear that she and Dongfang Zizai had placed the crown prince and Ning Xueqi here, but how did it become Dongfang Jingyue's name and Ning Xueqi's?

The officials around them were whispering to each other as they lay on the ground. Apparently, something had happened between the two of them.

Rong Jiu looked at Ning Rou Xue. She didn't need to hide the smile in her eyes. So it was her?

Dong Fang Qi Su also saw the person lying on the ground. He went up to wake Dong Fang up. Dong Fang's name was probably too drunk, but he woke up confused. "Third Brother, where am I?"

He shook his head, and his clothes fell off. Only then did he realize that he was completely naked. Naked, "Ah! "What's going on?"

As he held onto his clothes, he saw a woman lying on the side. This frightened him so much that he sat far away from her. "Third Brother, what's going on?"

The sleeping Ning Ruoxue heard the commotion and opened her eyes to see Dongfang Zisu, "Ah!" "Prince, you, you …"

As she spoke, her eyes turned red, and pearl-like tears began to fall. "How can you … how can you … whimper …"

She buried her head in her arms, her shoulders shaking, crying bitterly.

Dongfang Zisu frowned. He was taking the blame for Ye Zichen's actions the moment he woke up.

Ning Ruoxue squatted down and took the robe from the palace maid to put it on Ning Xuqi, "Sister, it's okay, I'll make the decision for you."

"Third sister." Ning Xueqi threw herself into Ning Ruoxue's arms and cried out loud.

"Third brother, believe me, I am innocent."

Now that so many people had seen the Seventh Prince and the Seventh Miss lying together in untidy clothes in front of so many people, who would believe that they were innocent?

Rong Jiu pulled him aside and whispered, "Why are you here?"

"I don't know either." Dongfang Zexuan was confused from start to finish, "I was just drunk. I was planning to return to the manor, but I fainted just by walking around."

"Ah, what is this?"

While she was still asking, someone from Ning Xueqi's side tried to help her up, but they saw a pool of plum blossom blood on Ning Xueqi's skirt.

Dongfang Wenyi looked over and his face turned pale. Did something really happen?

When Ning Xueqi saw it, she cried even harder.

"Right now, it's better to report it to the Emperor and let him make the final decision." Imperial Concubine Ning stood up and suggested.

"That's right, we can't let Miss Ning lose out." Some officials agreed, their words revealing too much disdain for his name.

Dongfang Jingyue's name had always been unfavoured, and now that such a ridiculous situation had occurred, even though Ning Xueqi was only a concubine, she was still the Marquis' daughter and the princess consort's younger sister.

"Third brother, what should we do?" Dong Fang looked to Dong Fang Qi Su for help.

"Your Highness, you have to ask the Third Marquis about this. What, do you think the Third Marquis can turn the tables and let everyone just ignore this?" "Xue Qi is my sister. Even if you're the prince, you won't be able to deal with her if something happens to her. Father will have to decide this matter today!"

Ning Ruoxue supported Ning Xueqi and left. The surrounding officials also escorted Dongfang Wenyi as they left, as if they were afraid that he would escape.

"We also saw such an absurd thing. Seventh Prince, please do not get away with it."

The ministers' voices buzzed in his ears. His name was on the verge of breaking down, and as he walked, Rong Jiu and Dong Fang Qi Su were sighing for him.

"Your follower is in trouble, aren't you going to save him?" Dong Fang Qi's name was always with Dong Fang Qi Su, and in his eyes, Dong Fang Qi Su was his sky. Now that something had happened to him, Rong Jiu really wanted to know if his sky would attack.

"I didn't expect them to be so fast. Seventh Bro won't be able to escape this time." Dong Fang Qi Su looked forward, but Rong Jiu could not see a single ripple from it.

"You're not worried about him?"

"What's the use of worrying? "In the end, he still needs to grow, and I can't always protect him. If one day he dies, then …"

These words actually made Rong Jiu feel a bit sad. Did such a strong person like Dongfang Qisu not exist? If so, why?

The Emperor had originally rested, but he did not expect such a thing to happen. The prince had violated the law and committed the crime together with the commoners. Even if he was stronger than the commoners, he would not tolerate it, let alone the daughter of a minister.

Inside the Audience Hall, it was already filled with people.

When the Emperor came, the crowd moved to the sides, and the Emperor sat down.

A majestic aura spread out in all directions, and the deep voice sounded very much like the usual Dong Fang Qi Su. He swept his eyes across his surroundings, and the originally noisy hall immediately quietened down.

"Ming'er." His deep voice rang out, and Dongfang Xi's body trembled before he knelt down, "Royal father."

"Did you really do something despicable to the daughter of the Hou clan?"

"Father, this son …"

This matter was witnessed by all the ministers, so how could he explain himself? Right now, he could only lower his head in tacit agreement.

Ning Xueqi, who was standing next to Ning Ruoxue, had unwillingness in her eyes. It seemed like she already knew that the one who had a relationship with her was Dongfang.

She knelt down, her eyes the size of walnuts from crying for a long time. "Your majesty, please make the decision for this subject's daughter!"

The emperor's eyes swept over Ning Xueqi. She hurriedly lowered her head and curled up her body. In the end, she was still a woman from the inner chamber. How could she have seen such a shocking scene?

"Tell me what happened." The Emperor said.

"Yes." Ning Xueqi slowly spoke. After helping Dongfang Qisu to rest, she prepared to return to the banquet, but she was pounced on halfway by Dongfang Zexuan who had rushed out from who knows where. She could not resist him, which was why something like this had happened.

If it was a mutual love, it would be fine, but this was a strong one.

"Father, your son has not." The East was known as the Rebellion.

"Nothing?"

"Your son, your son …"

He didn't even know what he had done, so how could he resist?

"Your majesty, please uphold justice for this old subject's daughter!"

Marquis Wanning stepped forward.

"Father, please uphold justice for my little sister." Ning Rou Xue also stood out.

The emperor looked around him. All of the ministers wanted to stand up and bring justice to the emperor as well. The emperor said, "If something like this happens, where's the crown prince?"

That's right, where's the crown prince? Everyone was baffled. Rong Jiu also looked at Ning Rou Xue, who suddenly looked unnatural. "His Highness got drunk. His daughter-in-law ordered someone to take him back to the East Palace to rest."

"So it's like that …" The emperor paused for a moment, and Ning Ruoxue's heart rose to her throat. It was the same with Imperial Concubine. If the emperor suddenly asked about the crown prince's absence, what would happen if the emperor remembered and began to resent the crown prince?
