Chapter 188 The Regent Shows His Power
The atmosphere became tense in an instant. The emperor's face was pale, and his eyes were gloomy and sharp. If you look closely, you can see the ruthlessness between his eyebrows, as if he was going to risk everything.
The air stagnated for a long time.
"Come here." The emperor finally spoke coldly, "Catch this woman who dared to pretend to be the regent's princess and hand her over to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation. I will give an explanation to my uncle within three days."
The most urgent thing is to take the person away first.
Ye Qingcheng smiled lightly: "This princess thinks that we should first see who this fake princess is. She has such good dancing skills, such a graceful figure, and her courage is admirable. This princess has a great curiosity about her."
She dared to pretend to be his beloved wife in front of the regent. Isn't this courting death?
The emperor wanted to take her away as soon as possible because he was worried that she would reveal her identity in front of the ministers? She was so guilty and had such a clumsy method, and she dared to show off in front of the regent?
Ye Qingcheng really doubted how this emperor stood out from the many princes and sat on the throne?
Could it be that there was a master behind him?
"Qingcheng." Ye Yan said coldly, "This is the business of the Great Zhou royal family, why are you interfering?"
Ye Qingcheng ignored him.
"Princess Qingcheng, it's the family affairs of the Great Zhou, don't bother." His Majesty's tone was cold and majestic, "Come, take her away."
The Imperial Guards heard the order and quickly took the woman in red away.
However, some sharp-eyed people noticed that the Imperial Guards were cautious in their actions. They didn't seem to be rude to those who had bad intentions. Instead, they took care of the woman's injuries and almost carried her away from here.
And the Regent didn't seem to have any intention of stopping it.
The ministers couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, doesn't the Regent want to know the true identity of the woman?
It's easy to think that there was something strange about this incident tonight. The Queen Mother's reaction just now was too excited. It was obvious that she wanted to protect the woman. Why did the woman pretend to be the Regent's wife to dance?
Is it just to ruin the reputation of the Regent Princess? But the Regent Princess went to the palace with the Regent King tonight. Isn't she afraid of being exposed for pretending to be the Regent Princess?
Everyone was puzzled, but they clearly sensed a trace of unusual atmosphere in their hearts.
"Rong Yu." Nan Xi raised her head and looked at Rong Yu with gentle and affectionate eyes, "Are we going to stay here?"
Rong Yu shook his head: "Let's go back to the palace first."
Nan Xi nodded.
"I'll go back with you." Ye Qingcheng said indifferently, "Although the birthday banquet is held in the Imperial Garden, the air here is so stinky that this princess feels uncomfortable staying here."
"Ye Qingcheng!" Ye Yan's face was dark, and his eyes were as cold as iron, staring at her, "What nonsense are you talking about? Do you know who you are? What is the purpose of coming to Da Zhou? You are too presumptuous!"
Ye Qingcheng smiled casually: "Brother, don't be so irritable. Let the civil and military ministers of Da Zhou laugh at you."
It would have been better if she didn't speak. As soon as she spoke, Ye Yan's anger was raised to the highest point, and she even poured a bucket of oil on him fearlessly. The consequence of adding fuel to the fire was that Ye Yan flew past uncontrollably in front of everyone, and was about to slap her in the face: "You deserve to die--"
However, with the sound of an abrupt stop, his hand was caught in the middle of the swing, and the force was so strong that he couldn't break free.
Ye Yan raised his head angrily: "Who?!"
What came into view was a gentle and indifferent man. The familiar facial features made Ye Yan's pupils shrink sharply, and his voice changed unconsciously: "You——"
"A man who hits a woman is not qualified to be called a man, he can only be regarded as a beast." Yun Ting seemed to have no strength, and he grabbed Ye Yan's wrist lightly, and he could make him unable to move, "Does Prince Ye think he is a beast?"
"You..." Ye Yan's face was pale, and he didn't care about his wrist that was clenched so hard that it hurt. He looked at the extremely familiar face in front of him in disbelief, and his face changed drastically in shock, "Who are you? How did you appear here? Who are you?!"
Yun Ting let go of his wrist, slowly wiped his hand with a handkerchief, and finally threw the handkerchief away casually, as if he had touched something dirty.
"I am the left guardian of the Pavilion Master of Jiuxiao Pavilion, and I am here to protect the daughter of Jiuxiao Pavilion on behalf of the Pavilion Master." Yun Ting spoke calmly, with no emotion on his gentle face. "This Princess Qingcheng from Shu is a friend of the daughter of Jiuxiao Pavilion, so I will protect her. Anyone who touches her is against Jiuxiao Pavilion."
The unhurried words fell, and the whole place was in dead silence.
The civil and military officials present felt nervous when they heard about Jiuxiao Pavilion, and then they remembered that the Regent Princess seemed to be the daughter of Jiuxiao Pavilion. On the day when the Regent got married, the princess's wedding was a sensation, and the women in the entire imperial capital envied her.
Such a big move was indeed from Jiuxiao Pavilion.
"Jiuxiao Pavilion?" The emperor Rong Chuyun's face was gloomy, and his eyes suddenly fell on Yunting's face, with a sharp look in his eyes, "Are you from Jiuxiao Pavilion?"
Yunting nodded calmly: "Yes."
"Why are people from Jiuxiao Pavilion here?" Rong Chuyun narrowed his eyes, "Who brought you into the palace?"
Yunting's expression was indifferent: "Jiuxiao Pavilion masters appear and disappear like ghosts, and there is no place in the world that they cannot go. The emperor does not need to make a fuss."
This was said domineeringly.
Nan Xi felt relieved, but the emperor's face was ashen, and the majesty of the emperor was deeply offended and provoked.
However, even though he was furious at this moment, he couldn't do anything, not even to take this man down on the spot!
"You said you are from Jiuxiao Pavilion, so it must be true?" Ye Yan sneered, "I'm afraid you just made up a fake identity to fool the emperor and the empress dowager."
As he said, he turned to look at Rong Chuyun: "Your Majesty, I think we should arrest this man and interrogate him to see who he is. How dare he pretend to be the guardian of Jiuxiao Pavilion here."
"It shouldn't be the turn of Crown Prince Ye to question his identity." Rong Yu's voice was as cold as snow, "My princess is from Jiuxiao Pavilion. Whether Mr. Yun is from Jiuxiao Pavilion or not, the princess didn't question it, but you can't wait to reveal his identity?"
Ye Yan's expression changed slightly, and he said gloomily: "What if the princess is not from Jiuxiao Pavilion either?"
"Whether the princess is from Jiuxiao Pavilion or not is my business, what does it have to do with you?" Rong Yu's eyebrows were cold, "Prince Ye should worry about the affairs of Shu Kingdom now. If you are really bored, I don't mind finding something for you to do."
Ye Yan clenched his hands.
"The marriage between the two countries is hereby declared over." Rong Yu held Nan Xi's hand, "Before tomorrow evening, send Prince Ye away from the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The Imperial Guards were seriously derelict in their duties tonight. Qin Zhuo will be removed from his position as commander and punished with thirty strokes of the cane. Ling Ling will temporarily take over the Imperial Guards."
