534. Palace Banquet (32)-The Xiao Family Suffered Severe Setbacks
Translator: Guy Gone Bad

"I agree. Only because the Xiao family has a noble consort who gives birth to the big prince and fourth prince, they dare act so arrogant and even don't put a daughter-in-law of our imperial family in their eyes. How could we allow that?"

The emperor's fifth brother Yan Shenghan also echoed as he stood out. At first, they could still take it as a farce. But after Ling unfolded this thing, as the offspring of the imperial family, how could they still stay out of it? Today, if they didn't severely punish Xiao Yuting, where would the imperial family put their face?

"If you don't have the heart to do that, I'd like to offer this favor."

Yan Shengrui was more direct. After insulting his wife, the Xiao family meant to get away from it? Not possible!

"I seconded!"

With the three brothers as the representatives of the imperial family, the rest relatives also knelt down, and them, those martial officials under the lead of General Ye and others also echoed, "We also seconded!"

"Your Majesty, Xiao Yuting spoke some wild words, insulted the crown princess and even challenged the whole imperial family, she deserves any punishment! But Prime Minister Xiao is innocent. How would she represent the whole Xiao family?"

"What Official Wan said is true. Your Majesty, Prime Minister Xiao has been lax in discipline at most. Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Xiao bears the inescapable responsibility. How could he just exempt himself like that? If others also follow what they do, where is the majesty of the imperial family? Who would take the imperial family seriously then?"

Seeing that, those who were related with the Xiao family all tried to speak for them while the Right Prime Minister Sun who had been overshadowed by Xiao Heshan joined the side of crusading against him. Before the palace banquet started, no one should have ever thought that it would have changed into a banquet of crusading against the Xiao family! Instead of saying it was because of Xiao Yuting's arrogance, one should say that it was Ling Jingxuan who quietly seized this opportunity to push the whole Xiao family in the teeth of the storm.

"No, Your Majesty, I didn't mean that. I just..."

"You shut up!"

Xiao Yuting who came to her sense finally realized what huge trouble she had made.

She cried and tried to defend herself, but the yelling of His Majesty stopped her. After throwing her his dagger eyes, Yan Shengzhi snapped as his palm hit the armrest of the dragon chair, "Xiao Yuting has offended the imperial family, from today on, she'd be banished to the southwest three thousand li away and is never allowed to come back to the capital again! It is her father's fault not to teach her well. Prime Minister Xiao's title would be suspended and after I talk with all officials and make the final decision. All officials of Xiao family in the court all got their titles removed and sent to the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs for strict investigation! If they have committed any crimes, big or small, enforce the laws impartially! And during the investigation period, the big prince, fourth prince, the big princess and Noble Consort Xiao are all not allowed to step out of their own palace!"
