Chapter 243 Patience is running out
Chapter 243 Patience is running out
On the way back home from the palace, Chu Yan still couldn't calm down.
He had waited too long for this day.
I originally thought that I would have to live my whole life carrying such a humiliating crime and die with hatred in my heart.
Unexpectedly, there was a turning point.
Although his appearance remained calm, his heart was already filled with turmoil.
Shen Yindi had a smile on her lips and held Chu Yan's hand, happy for him.
The emperor ordered an overturn of the verdict, and this was the beginning of their counterattack.
And this time he designated Mu Ningyuan as the person to thoroughly investigate the case.
No need to worry about favoritism or fraud.
Everything is good for them.
"Yun Yi, congratulations, you finally got your verdict overturned." Mu Ningyuan said sincerely.
He was very happy for his old friend.
He knew that his judgment of people was never wrong.
"Thank you, Ning Yuan. This time, your father has ordered you to conduct a thorough investigation. You may encounter the same thing as Lord Lu did back then. Thank you for your help." Chu Yan said earnestly.
Mu Ningyuan pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled disapprovingly: "Don't worry, I'm not Lord Lu, their methods won't work on me."
He lowered his eyes and looked at the little girl who was sleeping on his legs, full of confidence.
That’s right, Si Qi has fallen asleep.
She drank until midnight last night and was very sleepy today. In the afternoon, she walked in the mountains for more than an hour and was exhausted.
She fell asleep in the carriage as they came out of the palace.
When they got into the carriage, she probably looked for a pillow and lay it on it in a daze.
Lord Mu naturally liked it very much.
They all spoke involuntarily in a low voice.
At this time, Shen Yindi said confidently: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Things are different now. You've been cheated once, so how can you be cheated a second time? This time, no matter what, you must fight a beautiful turnaround."
Although there are no useful clues yet and no one has found out who the spies on the Chu side are, we cannot lose our aura.
Shen Yindi's positive emotions are particularly contagious.
"Okay, I am very confident now because I have a good wife like Adi to help me."
"That's good to know! I will never let you lose this time!" Shen Yindi said confidently.
"Okay." Chu Yan stretched out his hand and hugged Shen Yindi into his arms.
He really couldn't control his emotions.
If there wasn't someone else in the carriage, he really wanted to hug her and kiss her.
Shen Yindi leaned in his arms, and the two of them had obviously begun to ignore the single man, the Dali Temple Minister.
"Your Highness, will the emperor's decree be issued tomorrow?" Shen Yindi asked again.
"No, it has already been issued. The civil and military officials will know when they attend the morning court tomorrow."
"Then there should be someone who knew about it in advance, right?" Shen Yindi had a wicked smile on his face.
"there must be."
"If the Queen, the Crown Prince, and the concubines and princes in the harem knew about this, they would probably be overwhelmed, right?" Shen Yindi could already imagine such a scene in her mind.
"Yes." Chu Yan's tone was very firm.
What King Zhenbei said was absolutely correct.
At this time, the Crown Prince Chu Heng of the Eastern Palace had already broken through.
After having a tantrum in his own bedroom, he hurried to Kunning Palace to find the queen.
In fact, this time was not early in ancient times.
The queen had just laid down when she was woken up again.
This is the second time.
Before she could reprimand Chu Heng, he had already asked, "Mother, didn't you tell me that Chu Yan's case was a murder case? Why did Father order an overturning of the case overnight?"
"Chu Yan is coming back to compete for favor this time. Do you think I can win over him?" Chu Heng was furious now.
He was anxious and felt uneasy.
When the queen heard her son say this, her brows slightly furrowed, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, and she said in a low voice: "Did your father issue an order to overturn the verdict?"
"Yes, just one stick of incense ago. The imperial edict has been issued!"
"Mother, what do you say we should do? Will father find some random crime to depose me? And then pass the throne of crown prince to him?" The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became.
"Ridiculous! Heng'er, stop talking nonsense!"
"Appointing a crown prince is no joke. Your father wouldn't be so foolish!"
"You should calm down now!"
"You're so anxious over such a small matter? How are you going to inherit the throne in the future?" the queen reprimanded harshly.
In the past, he might have listened to his mother quickly, but the anxiety of the past few days had exploded, and his head was buzzing.
There is no rationality at all.
"You always ask me to stay calm, but now that something so serious has happened, how can I stay calm?"
"It seems that Chu Yan is about to be cleared of the charges, his health has also improved, and he has returned to the court. Your son..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the Queen.
"So what do you want to do? Go over and kill him now?"
Chu Heng was speechless and wilted instantly.
He really doesn't know what to do now?
"Your father has only ordered a retrial and a new investigation. It depends on whether they can find evidence to prove their innocence!"
"You're so flustered at the beginning, how can you fight Chu Yan?"
"If you are so scared and worried, why not just go and tell your father that you don't want the throne anymore? Then I won't have to worry about you!" There was obvious anger in the Queen's tone.
This was the first time Chu Heng saw his mother so angry, and he immediately dared not act rashly.
He calmed down a little.
The atmosphere in the room was somewhat heavy.
The queen didn't want to talk and was so angry that she had a headache.
If she wasn't afraid of hurting him, she would have started scolding him long ago. What a useless guy, he is not even a little bit worse than Chu Yan.
She never wanted to admit that her son was worse than others.
This is her face and her self-esteem.
But this disappointing thing has made her angry time and again, and her patience is really running out.
Seeing this, the nanny quickly handed Chu Heng a cup of tea and asked him to go and coax the queen.
Chu Heng had no choice. If his mother didn’t help him, he really didn’t know what to do?
"Mother, please don't be angry. It is my fault. I will apologize to you. Please don't get angry and hurt yourself."
"I am just too anxious. I am afraid that if Chu Yan gains power, he will definitely harm us mother and son."
"I don't want you to lose your position as Queen Mother. I also don't want all the hard work you put in place for me to go to waste..." Chu Heng spoke to the Queen in a gentle and respectful voice.
After apologizing, the queen's complexion obviously improved a lot.
"Mother, please drink some tea and stop being angry with me. Okay?"
The Queen took the teacup from his hand, sighed, and said, "Heng'er, your mother has told you many times not to be impatient when encountering things. This is your fatal weakness. When will you learn to be more steady?"
"I know I was wrong, and I will correct it slowly in the future."
"Your father just issued an imperial decree to overturn the verdict, and you were already so confused. How can you expect your mother to help you in the future?"
Chu Heng knew he was in the wrong and didn't dare to say anything.
When the queen's face looked better, he said, "Mother, I will listen to you from now on. Please don't ignore me!"
The queen sighed. After all, he was her son and she couldn't really ignore him.
Seeing that he had a good attitude, she comforted him, "Don't worry, Mother will have her own way. They can't find any evidence to prove their innocence."
Seeing Chu Heng didn't speak, the queen's low voice sounded: "You don't believe your mother?"
