Chapter 185 Miss Lin, there are too many people outside and it’s chaotic, you’d better wait here!
Can Su Muxi recognize it? Of course not. "Your Majesty, I don't recognize it. Lord Wei is old and his eyes are blurry. He must have seen it wrong."
When Su Muxi said this, everyone in the room was shocked. How dare you! Many people secretly complained that this was really brave and should not be offended.
"Your Majesty," Lord Wei knelt on the ground, "Princess Anping, she, she, is so rude!"
Lord Wei, an old minister of two dynasties, was so angry that he trembled. "Princess Anping, you are talking about something else. Your Majesty! You harbored a criminal and caused Prince Xiu to suffer an undeserved disaster. This is a heinous crime!"
"Sir Wei, you are over 60 years old. I said that your eyesight is blurry and I may have seen it wrongly. What's wrong with that?" Su Muxi argued, "You said that I was harboring a suspect. Where is your evidence?"
Lord Wei was so angry that he stuttered, "You, you, you are going too far."
"This is too much," Su Muxi exclaimed.
"Master Wei, look at what you said. You framed me. I could only say that you were blind and saw things wrong. But you said that I was harboring a criminal and that I was guilty of a heinous crime. Even if I was a real criminal, I would still have the opportunity to refute and provide evidence. Why don't you allow me to refute it?"
She kept saying that her eyes were blurry due to her old age. Lord Wei was an old minister in the court. When had he ever suffered such humiliation? He only said one sentence, but she countered him with thousands of words. In the end, he was accused of being unreasonable, and he didn't allow her to refute.
This was simply nonsense. Lord Wei was so angry that he felt dizzy and his eyes went dark. He shook his head without controlling the force and kowtowed again with a "bang".
"Master Wei, why do you have to do this?" Su Muxi rushed to stop Master Wei from speaking, "Even if you don't allow me to refute, you can't threaten the emperor with death!"
Lord Wei's eyes rolled back and he almost fainted. His body was shaking and his voice was choked with sobs. "Your Majesty, I am telling the truth. I guarantee with my life that I saw it for real. I really saw Zhao Siyu. She was dressed as a man and stayed by Su Muchao's side."
"I suspect that he was the one who broke into the prison and took the prisoners to the northwest and hid them there."
The emperor pushed the matter to Su Muxi, "Anping, what do you think?"
This is asking her to prove herself. Not only did he dare to bite her, but he also dared to bite her second brother. Su Muxi lifted her robe and knelt on the ground, her body straightened up, "Your Majesty, more than half of the people who went to the banquet at my palace yesterday were from the court, even Marquis Jian'an was there. You can ask each one of them if they have seen Zhao Siyu."
"Also, the story about my second brother robbing a prison is even more absurd. Let's not talk about whether my second brother has the ability to do this. Why? My second brother had been in the northwest before and had never even met Zhao Siyu. Why would he risk his life to save someone?"
"Zhao Siyu is the biological daughter of Marquis Jian'an, but he didn't save her. Is my second brother a fool? He is just a death row inmate."
"Who said they had never met before? At the Duke of Anguo's Mansion, it was Su Muchao who rescued the man from the water." Lord Wei was already incoherent, "It's clear that they fell in love at first sight."
"Lord Wei, I see that not only are your eyesight blurry, but your mind is also not normal," Su Muxi said, "At that time, Zhao Siyu slandered me and Prince An. If someone hadn't stopped them, the two of them would have almost fought in the waterside pavilion. You actually said that they fell in love at first sight."
"Marquis Jian'an, could you have endured this? At that time, your daughter Zhao Siyu was Prince Xiu's fiancée."
Su Muxi spoke very quickly and kept pulling Marquis Jian'an into the water.
Marquis Jian'an had a long secret conversation with Xiao Yunxiu yesterday, all about how to suppress Princess Kangping. Now that Zhao Siyu was mentioned in the court, Marquis Jian'an knew very well that Xiao Yunxiu was right and someone was targeting Xiao Yunxiu.
Marquis Jian'an stepped out from among the officials and said, "Your Majesty, Princess Xiu fell into the water yesterday. I was worried about my daughter and didn't pay attention to the servant beside Su Muchao."
Marquis Jian'an really didn't notice it, but when someone picked it out, the servant next to Su Muchao might really be Zhao Siyu, which felt very bad.
Seeing that Marquis Jian'an finally opened his mouth to speak, Su Muxi began to add fuel to the fire.
"Master Wei, I dare to ask you a question," Su Muxi seemed particularly cautious, and even clasped her fists, "Zhao Siyu is different from me. She is a delicate lady who usually stays at home. How did you recognize her at first sight despite her disguise? Could it be that you have bad intentions towards Miss Zhao and fell in love with her at first sight?"
"At that time, Zhao Siyu was Prince Xiu's fiancée!" Su Muxi covered her mouth and said with horror, "Sir Wei, you actually coveted Prince Xiu's fiancée."
Xiao Yunxiu's forehead twitched, and he could barely maintain his expression. "Princess Anping, be careful with your words. Zhao Siyu has nothing to do with me now."
"I know it doesn't matter now," Su Muxi vowed, "but it can be done before! My lords, who among you can recognize at a glance the spoiled daughter in other families' boudoirs? Scholars are very particular about not looking at or listening to anything indecent."
After Su Muxi said this, who would dare to admit it? Even those who wanted to make fun of her shut up. No one wanted to be labeled a gentleman villain at their age.
"I am innocent!" Lord Wei finally couldn't stand Su Muxi's verbal attack anymore. He rolled his eyes and fainted from anger.
The matter was revealed in this muddled way, and in the end the emperor actually concluded that Lord Wei was old and demented.
After Su Muxi left the court, he went to the border defense camp again.
As an old acquaintance, Cao Tie personally received Su Muxi, and he adapted well to the fact that his former subordinate had become his immediate superior.
There is no war now, and Su Muxi came here today just to go through the motions and get acquainted with the defenders.
Even so, they didn't finish their work until after noon. Su Muxi waved his hand and invited all the generals to have dinner.
In the Fusheng Restaurant, Xiao Yunjin was eating and drinking lazily, while Lin Jiaorui was sitting shyly on the side. She didn't expect that He Yuncheng would take her out shopping, not only buying her a lot of expensive things, but also taking her out for dinner.
Just because she said she felt sick, they ordered all the dishes in the restaurant. They asked her to try them one by one, and if she felt uncomfortable, they were immediately removed. In the end, the table was filled with exquisite dishes suitable for pregnant women.
Lin Jiaorui said shyly, "My Lord, you should eat something too!"
"I just watch you eat," Xiao Yunjin said with a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes.
There were sounds of laughter coming from outside the window. The voices were rough and high-spirited. It was obvious that they were a group of rough men.
Xiao Yunjin was annoyed by the noise, so he tapped the table with his fingers and called Cang Ying in, asking him to negotiate with the other party and be quiet.
Goshawk nodded and turned to walk out. He was scared! Ever since he carried his master back last night, his master seemed like a different person. Although he still smiled like before, it was scary!
Lin Jiaorui thought Xiao Yunjin did this for her, and she was even happier, "Thank you, my lord. I am really happy today."
Xiao Yunjin sneered in his heart, "As long as you are happy."
The goshawk flew away quickly and came back even faster. He felt miserable but had no one to complain to. He could have met anyone else, but he had to meet the princess.
How could he dare to ask Su Muxi to lower her voice? He could only run back happily.
He stammered, hesitantly, "Master..."
“If you have something to say, say it, and if you have something to say, let it go.”
Xiao Yunjin listened to the noise, which was getting closer and closer. He could vaguely hear a familiar voice. He frowned slightly, obviously knowing what Cang Ying had not finished saying.
He closed his eyes, stood up suddenly and walked out.
"What's going on?" Lin Jiaorui stood up and was blocked by Goshawk. "Ms. Lin, there are too many people outside and it's chaotic. You should wait here for a while!"
