Chapter 141 Father Father Father Father
"Get out! All of you, get out of here!"
The empress's expression suddenly changed drastically, and she spread her arms to try to block the gazes directed at the two people on the bed.
"Empress! Who is it? You must give me an answer."
The emperor's sharp gaze fell upon the two people on the bed, and he said in a deep voice, "Commander Wu, drag these two down before me, no matter who they are!"
Upon receiving the order, Commander Wu immediately stepped forward.
Meeting the empress's warning gaze, he suddenly felt the armor on his body become even heavier.
"Your Majesty, please move aside."
Commander Wu bowed respectfully to the Empress.
"No, get out of here."
The Empress was completely bewildered and had no idea what was going on.
"Queen!"
The emperor rarely spoke to her in such a heavy tone, and the empress was taken aback when she uttered those two words.
Commander Wu seized the opportunity and said in a low voice, "Excuse me."
He squeezed past her sideways, and the Empress stumbled and turned around, but it was too late.
Commander Wu swiftly lifted the man on top with one hand, and without even looking at who he was, threw him to the ground.
"Oh dear, that blind lackey dares to..."
The naked man rubbed his white buttocks and raised his head. The sight in front of him terrified his "it" so much that it almost never lifted its head again.
"Father, father, father, father emperor."
Xiao Junlin's lips trembled, and his tongue seemed to be stuck to his palate, making it impossible for him to speak.
"Very well, very well, I thought it was that audacious madman, but it turns out he's my good son."
The emperor's chest heaved violently, and the rage in his eyes was about to burst forth.
"Your Majesty, this must be a misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding..."
The Empress was completely panicked. This month, Xiao Junlin had already caused such a mess twice. If it happened again, even the Ren family would probably have difficulty protecting him.
"Put your clothes on, what kind of behavior is this?"
The emperor wearily pinched the bridge of his nose, and the empress's personal maidservant hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the clothes on the ground and draped them over Xiao Junlin.
The man then looked down and realized that he was kneeling on the ground completely naked, and he looked down on the group of palace servants and guards watching the spectacle behind the emperor.
They didn't say anything, and some even turned their heads away, their ears turning red, unable to look directly at each other.
Yet, he still felt a deep sense of fear; every breath they took seemed to mock him.
Thinking of this, the prince's fingers gripping his robe trembled involuntarily, and his throat felt as if it were being tightly choked by two hands, preventing him from making any sound.
"Your Highness, do you know what you are doing?"
After a brief silence, the emperor's suppressed anger reached his ears from above.
Xiao Junlin trembled and prostrated himself on the ground, his voice panicked, "Father, I know I was wrong, but I was framed."
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has definitely been framed."
The Empress also knelt down to plead for mercy, but then suddenly remembered something and said viciously, "Yes, it must have been framed by that bitch Su Fuying. She was resentful after being jilted, so she used such despicable means to frame the Crown Prince."
"Your Majesty, from the moment you entered this room, you were convinced that the person in bed was Princess Yongle. Now you're saying that Princess Yongle framed you. Do you have any evidence?"
The emperor's tone was tinged with displeasure, and the gloomy chill emanating from him made everyone in the room hold their breath.
"nature!"
The Empress said with certainty, "The slut who seduced the Crown Prince in bed must be Su Fuying. She wants to use this to become my son's Crown Princess."
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman on the bed behind him let out a charming voice, "Mmm~ Your Highness~"
Her sweet, seductive words reached everyone's ears, and when they were reminded of Su Fuying's beautiful face, even the women present felt their hearts melt.
The emperor seemed to only then remember that there was another person in the bed, and to make such a sound at this moment was simply indecent.
"Bring that person to me immediately!"
The emperor's roar echoed in the room, causing the candlelight to flicker.
Just as the guard was about to step forward, a young eunuch hurriedly walked in from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, Grand Tutor Ren and his wife request an audience."
The emperor's impatience deepened. "What is he doing in the palace so late? He's breaking the rules. I won't see him!"
"this......"
The young eunuch hesitated, about to speak, when he heard Ren Zhong's voice from outside the door.
"Your Majesty is quite arrogant; now you've even stopped me?"
Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions. The emperor's face turned from red to green, and his eyes flashed with a cold light, like ice in winter.
The man strode into the room and was slightly taken aback to see so many people present. He then turned to the emperor with a beaming smile and said, "I have entered the palace without permission. Your Majesty will not be angry with me, will you?"
Anyone with eyes could see the emperor's ugly face and clenched jaw, but Ren Zhong didn't care at all and continued, "I also have important matters to attend to. If Your Majesty blames me, I will have no complaints."
The emperor clenched his fist so tightly it cracked, but finally smiled and said, "My dear minister, you jest. Since it is an important matter, how can it be delayed?"
"To be honest, my daughter went to a banquet at the palace today and hasn't returned yet. My wife was very worried, which is why she wanted to go to the palace to look for her."
Suddenly, Ren Zhong stopped speaking and his gaze fell on the Crown Prince, whose robes were half-open and who was kneeling on the ground, as well as the Empress, who was also kneeling beside him.
Upon receiving the Empress's pleading gaze, Ren Zhong's brow furrowed instantly, and he looked at the Emperor with displeasure: "Your Majesty, what is the meaning of this?"
"What's going on? Hmph, Grand Tutor, ask him yourself."
The emperor snorted coldly and said nothing more.
At this moment, Madam Ren arrived late. As she approached, she exchanged a glance with Ren Zhong, then shook her head, her expression showing some tension.
Today, Madam Ren went with her companions to buy the moisturizing cream that has recently become very popular in the capital, and did not enter the palace with Ren Yinxue.
But when evening came, Madam Ren waited and waited, but no one came back. She became anxious and hurriedly went to find him to go to the palace together.
After all, this is a critical time. Now that the emperor no longer has the regent as a major threat, he might be thinking of ways to deal with the Ren family.
Everyone in the capital knows that Ren Yingxue is the most favored daughter of the Ren family. It's not impossible that the emperor might forcibly detain her.
Seeing the lady's condition, Ren Zhong figured that since they hadn't found her in the palace, they were halfway safe there, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"The Queen?"
At this moment, Madam Ren also noticed the two people kneeling on the ground and quickly stepped forward to ask, "What's wrong?"
The Empress avoided eye contact, unsure how to respond.
“Eunuch Gao, the Crown Prince is too ashamed to say it, you speak for him.”
The emperor coldly took over the conversation and gave instructions to Eunuch Gao.
"Yes."
Grandpa Gao stepped forward and gave a brief account of what had just happened.
Upon hearing this, Ren Zhong's tightly furrowed brows immediately relaxed, and he said with displeasure, "I thought it was something of utmost importance, but it turns out to be such a trivial matter. Get up now."
