[1] After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister's Treasure

213-214

Chapter 213: She was indeed a burden!

The next morning.

Everyone saw that Yushi Wu, who hadn't gone to court for more than a month, had arrived.

Only a handful managed to guess the purpose of Yushi Wu's visit.

They had received news that Xiao Hanzheng had gone to Yushi Wu's residence yesterday.

It looked like there would be a good show to watch today.

The third prince looked at Yushi Wu and had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, after the emperor had settled some matters, Yushi Wu spoke.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report."

When the emperor saw Yushi Wu, his head hurt a little, but he still nodded. "What is it?"

He naturally knew that Xiao Hanzheng had gone to treat his illness.

Last night, he was still thinking that Xiao Hanzheng was really protective of his wife.

He was also very smart and knew how to do his networking.

Because of this, he thought more highly of Xiao Hanzheng and wanted to place him at a more important position.

Yushi Wu stood out and said, "I am looking into the third prince's lack of discipline to allow the his consort and her servants to do evil things."

Then, he recounted what happened yesterday.

"If this matter is made public, how will others look at this matter?"

"In the future, if anyone has anything great, would they dare to offer it?"

"And by doing so, they are also tarnishing the royal family's reputation.

"Your Majesty, Please punish them harshly."

The third prince was dragged into this matter, so he could only brace himself and come out to defend himself. "Your Majesty, I didn't collaborate this with my consort."

Yushi Wu said righteously, "The capital magistrate has already investigated this matter. It was the third imperial consort's servant girl who personally went to bribe the local ruffians."

"One of the servant girls in your house did something like this. Wasn't it not caused by your lax command?

"You know yourself well whether your consort is aware of this matter. Don't treat everyone as fools."

Yushi Wu had once tried to admonish the late emperor.

Naturally, he would not be afraid of a prince now.

When he heard of this matter, he was angry.

A prince consort actually did such a heinous thing.

If a servant girl wasn't given such an order, how would she dare to do such a thing?

Even if she did not return Xiao Hanzheng's favour, she would still report it to the higher ups.

Not to mention, there was still a favour.

As soon as he finished speaking, the few old officials who usually did not speak much in the imperial court also began to discuss this matter.

Even if their servant girl did it, the third prince and his consort couldn't escape the responsibility.

Everyone was smart enough not to pinpoint the third prince's consort from doing so, but insist that she bear the blame.

After all, the capital magistrate's people had already investigated and decided that it was the third imperial consort's servant girl who couldn't stand Shi Qingluo in the embroidery shop, so she bribed someone to do this without her madam's consent.
