Chapter 232 The doubts in his heart grew bigger and bigger!
Yu Jiuer went in and took the initiative. After kneeling in obedience, she immediately reported to the emperor that Yu Jiuer had committed suicide to prove her injustice and therefore could not enter the palace.
The emperor was stunned, frowned and said, "Yu Jiuer's business has caused a sensation in the city. I wanted to call her to give her a lecture and let you, her brother, discipline her more. But she actually hanged herself? Could it be that Jingzhao Yin really wronged her?"
When Yu Jiuer heard that the emperor seemed to be softening his stance, she hurried forward to explain the whole story. In order to help herself clear her grievances, she also recounted the recent frame-ups against Linglong Pavilion and the winery.
After listening to Yu Wushuang's plea, the emperor slammed his palm on the table and said, "Really? There are people under the emperor's feet who dare to be so blatant and frame Linglong Pavilion and the winery many times?"
Yu Jiuer was very good at confusing people, and she replied confidently, "Your Majesty, it is absolutely genuine!
They clearly know that Linglong Pavilion and Grape Manor Winery are the property of your royal daughter-in-law, and she will rely on it to revitalize Yinshan, but they don't give you face and do whatever they want, completely ignoring the royal family! Your Majesty, you must give my sister justice!"
Yu Jiu'er wanted to point the finger at Concubine Xiang, but Jun Mo's repeated warnings before she left suddenly popped up in her mind: "Don't anger Father! He can't stand his anger!"
After thinking about it, she decided to give up. Anyway, she didn't have any definite evidence. If she just gave up the Fragrant Concubine like this, the Emperor would probably blame Yu Wushuang for daring to come into the palace and make random accusations as a county magistrate. She might even make the Emperor sick out of anger.
The emperor looked gloomy and said to Yu Jiuer, "I will send someone to investigate this matter! You can leave first!"
After that, he instructed Eunuch Cao, "Go to Prince Jing's mansion to see Concubine Yu and give her a thousand-year-old ginseng to comfort her!"
"According to the order!"
Yu Jiuer was so frightened that she shuddered all over and immediately stopped him: "Wait a minute, eunuch! My sister is in a low mood and probably doesn't want to see anyone. The concubines in the mansion went to greet her before but she didn't see her! Please forgive her, Your Majesty!"
"You are not her, how do you know that she doesn't even listen to me?" The emperor looked a little ugly.
For the sake of his two little grandsons, he finally wanted to show some concern for that rude, audacious concubine's daughter-in-law, but she didn't appreciate it?
Yu Jiuer began to play the victim and choked up as she advised, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty. I was deeply traumatized this time and I am in a trance! I am afraid that when I see the people in the palace, my emotions will fluctuate and I may have thoughts of suicide again. It would be bad if it caused the two little grandchildren to have misunderstood ideas!"
"Hmph! So hypocritical!" The emperor waved his hand, "Forget it! Go back and discipline your sister. She is so ignorant of etiquette that she hanged herself for such a small matter. It is a disgrace to the royal family! Kneel down!"
Yu Jiuer breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out of the side hall.
On the way out, the officials had not yet dispersed, and many people gathered in groups of three or five in the square to discuss political views.
When they saw Yu Wushuang coming out, they all nodded and greeted him.
Although Yu Wushuang was only a small county magistrate, he was Prince Jing's brother-in-law after all.
In official circles, everyone follows the situation and flatters others, and no one wants to be left behind.
Shang Buqun even came over to ask in person: "Didn't the emperor summon you and Jiu'er? Where is she?"
Yu Jiuer still felt guilty when she saw Shang Buqun's eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.
She bowed her hands in greeting, lowered her head as much as possible to avoid his gaze, and replied respectfully: "My sister was framed and hanged herself in anger to show her determination. Fortunately, she was found in time and is now fine. She is recovering in the mansion!"
"Hanged?" Shang Buqun was so shocked that his voice became a little high. He really didn't believe that Yu Jiuer would hang herself because she was wrongly accused. He was more willing to believe that she burned down the government office.
Given her personality, shouldn't she fight back with confidence?
The doubts in his heart grew bigger and bigger!
He blurted out, "We are friends. I will go back and ask my sister to go over and comfort her!"
Yu Jiuer was frightened again and hurriedly called him: "Master Prime Minister, please stay. My sister is in a bad mood and doesn't want to see anyone. I hope you won't disturb her for the time being!"
If Shang Buhui went to Prince Jing's mansion now and found that the person lying on the bed was not her, wouldn't she be exposed immediately?
"In that case, should we wait until she is in a better mood before going?" Shang Buqun looked puzzled.
Yu Jiuer didn't care about that and nodded in agreement: "Hanging is embarrassing, so it's better to wait until she is more stable!"
Believe it or not, just deal with the situation in front of you first.
After finally dealing with the Prime Minister Shang Buqun, Prime Minister Rong heard everyone's discussion and walked towards her.
He didn't even bother to greet her and asked directly, "Concubine Yu hanged herself? Really?"
Yu Jiuer smiled bitterly and repeatedly said, "It's absolutely true! But don't worry, he's not dead!"
Ever since the old prime minister had an argument with her in the imperial study, his attitude towards her had improved a lot and he no longer targeted her as before.
"Things have escalated to the point where she hanged herself. I'm afraid she's suffered a lot! I'll go back and tell someone to check on her!" Prime Minister Rong said, and was about to leave.
Yu Jiuer wanted to cry so much that she had to try to dissuade him again.
How could Yu Jiu have such virtue and ability to receive greetings from such important figures as the emperor, the prime minister, and the chancellor?
I wonder if her life can withstand the "care" from you big shots!
After finally returning to Prince Jing's Mansion, Yu Jiuer finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Later, the emperor really summoned an inspector to re-investigate the incident of the burning of the government office.
With the emperor's intervention, the arsonist finally could not bear the torture and was so scared that he came out to admit his mistake.
However, he did not reveal the mastermind behind the scenes, only saying: "I looked down on the Yinshan people and was jealous of their ability to do such a big business, so I did something behind the scenes!"
Yu Jiuer was not satisfied with this outcome. Xiang Fei could find a scapegoat, but she had no evidence to do anything to her for the time being. But how could she be willing to let the enchantress go like this?
So, without thinking, she started to divert the blame.
He said directly to the inspector sent by the emperor: "Sir, you dare to burn down the government office just because of jealousy. Even a smart person like you would not believe such a reason! If you go and test the Third Prince, you may find something important!"
The Inspector discussed with her the recent events regarding Linglong Pavilion and the winery, and finally mustered up the courage to question the Third Prince.
The idiot Third Prince knew that it was his mother who did it. His eyes flickered, and he was so guilty that he couldn't speak clearly. He relied on his status to scold the Inspector: "I didn't do it. You, you found the wrong person! Why don't you get out of here now?"
Yu Wushuang, who came with the Inspector, was a little cunning and said to him, "How pitiful of Concubine Xiang. She insisted on taking all the blame for an unfilial son like you and stood up to take the blame for you. How pitiful are the parents in the world!"
The Third Prince's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he said with red eyes: "Don't arrest Mother, I did it alone! If you want to arrest someone, arrest me!"
Yu Jiuer hid the triumphant smile in her eyes and bowed to the Inspector, "Did you hear clearly, sir? The Third Prince has admitted it! We can close the case now!"
Unfortunately, not long after Yu Jiuer returned to the mansion, she heard that Concubine Xiang went to the Emperor to plead for mercy and rescue the foolish Third Prince who was being teased.
It’s a pity that the high and mighty Third Prince didn’t suffer more!
However, Yu Jiuer still felt happy.
She had long expected that Xiang Fei could rescue the Third Prince, but she just wanted to plant a seed of doubt in the Emperor's heart and get Xiang Fei into trouble.
She believes that sooner or later the seeds will take root and sprout.
Xiang Fei will definitely not give up if she fails to get her this time. She will wait until her fox tail is exposed again and then slap her to death!
The development of Yinshan County cannot be hindered by her, she has to find a way to lure the snake out of its hole!
The matter finally came to an end.
Yu Jiuer finally had a chance to recuperate at home and lie down for a day.
Ever since Jun Mo's wedding banquet, she and Jun Mo have been busy with their own affairs. They basically run around outside during the day and rarely stay in the house.
Those new concubines in the palace seemed to have suddenly grown sensible and didn't cause any trouble?
This made Yu Jiuer feel strange!
It was truly rare that they had been able to endure for nearly a month without causing trouble for her.
Yu Jiuer called housekeeper Feng and asked, "Are they really so obedient?"
"How could that be possible? Apart from Concubine Song who is like a quail and dares not show her head, Concubine Rong and Concubine Lin would come out from time to time. However, the prince has been leaving early and returning late recently, or simply not coming back, so they have no place to find him."
"Then they won't come to trouble me anymore? Have they changed their ways?" Yu Jiuer was still happy for a moment.
Butler Feng said, "They don't dare to come over! The prince has warned them before that if they dare to step into your yard or your brother Lord Yu's yard, he will break their legs!
The prince has also arranged people in secret, and whenever they get close to your courtyard or the opera garden of the two little princes, someone will come out to warn them!"
Yu Jiuer smiled knowingly: "Your Majesty is really thoughtful!"
He really did keep his promise and didn't let them disturb her.
In this way, Yu Wushuang's identity will be safer, and she can live a peaceful life.
