Chapter 408 What are you busy with?
After Wen Liang said this, the court became restless.
Are there any doubts about the Fourth Prince's case?
How is this possible? Isn't this a done deal?
Soon, someone jumped out to refute, it was Mu Yun,
"Your Majesty, we have both witnesses and evidence. Minister Wen's words are suspicious of exculpation."
After hearing this, Wen Liang had more prejudices against Mu Yun.
"Your Majesty, I have a letter as proof!"
Su Chuan was also in the court. Upon hearing what Minister Wen said, he hurriedly took out a secret letter from his arms. Of course, it was not the fake letter, but the one that Minister Su brought back yesterday.
Soon, the secret letter was delivered to His Majesty.
After Zhao Chongxiu opened it, his expression did not change, but all the court officials held their breath and dared not speak.
Zhao Chongxiu slowly raised his head and swept his eyes over the ministers like lightning, making them even more afraid to speak.
…Meanwhile, in the Queen’s Palace.
Zeng Wan'er raised her eyes and glanced at the direction of the remote palace, and finally understood that His Majesty was not a person who was obsessed with pleasure.
His idea of using firecrackers to defeat the enemy actually succeeded.
The young general could actually come up with such a terrifying strategy to defeat the enemy. It is obvious that he has a bad mind and is not a good person.
Can an ordinary person come up with such a cruel strategy?
In fact, Zeng Wan'er had never witnessed the cruel things on the battlefield.
For example, with one shot, the intestines were pulled out, the brain burst, the spleen and stomach turned inside out, and all sorts of things she had never seen before.
She asked the maid beside her,
"Fei Cui, have you asked someone to find out what the old Taoist priest has been busy with these days?"
Emerald leaned forward and replied:
"My lady, the old Taoist priest studies firecracker fuel all day long."
"Hasn't it been put to use? Why are you still studying it?" Zeng Wan'er pursed her lips and chuckled. She seemed to be smiling, but her expression was dull.
"My slave doesn't know either."
"Come on, let's go out for a walk. It's boring staying in this palace all the time." After Zeng Wan'er said this, she put one hand on her jade wrist and left the palace accompanied by a group of palace maids.
On the way inside the palace, he saw the eight-year-old emperor, Zhao Yuanche, playing with his personal palace servant, with a casual smile on his face.
"Che'er, why didn't you go to study today?"
"Mother, reading is too boring. I don't like reading. I'm going to look for my brother, the crown prince."
Zhao Yuanche grew up in Zeng Wan'er's doting for many years. Although he was kind-hearted, he also developed a willful and reckless character.
Anyway, just do whatever you want.
"Che'er, slow down." Empress Zeng said secretly:
Mud can't support the wall.
She took a step forward, took Zhao Yuanche's wrist with one hand, and walked on the palace street.
"You, go walk with your mother."
Zhao Yuanche pulled his hand away but failed. Finally, he whispered,
"Mother, you hurt me."
"Oh, it's mother's fault." Zeng Wan'er relaxed a little, and the palace was filled with the love of mother and filial piety of son.
Before they knew it, they were walking towards the Taoist's palace.
"Che'er, let's go find your father. When you see him, tell him that you want to have lunch with him at noon."
"I won't go. Besides, my father must not have dismissed the court yet." Zhao Yuanche tilted his head to one side.
"Go and go on your own."
Every time his father saw him, he would scold him, so he didn't want to go.
Zeng Wan'er said unhappily, "How do you, my prince, talk to your mother?"
Children are children, they are easy to pamper and they develop such a character unknowingly.
"That's what my mother taught me." Zhao Yuanzhen showed his rebellious side since he was a child.
"Che'er, your mother has some delicious food here." The Queen glanced behind her and saw Xiaolian, Zhao Yuanche's personal maid, holding out a piece of sugar cake.
Seeing this, Zhao Yuanche's eyes flashed, and he picked up the cake and started eating it happily.
"It's still my mother who loves me."
Then, Zeng Wan'er glanced at the palace maid Xiaolian, and saw her squatting down and said gently:
"Little prince, the old Taoist priest has some fun firecrackers. Do you want to play with them?"
"I do." Zhao Yuanche became interested as soon as he heard it. Of course he did not refuse this time. He wanted to run away immediately, but Zhao Wan'er grabbed his wrist again, and glared at Xiaolian with a look of pretending to be displeased.
Xiaolian stepped back timidly and looked away.
Zeng Wan'er changed her words.
"Che'er, your father has ordered that no one is allowed to disturb the Taoist priest's peace and quiet, so we can't go. Well, mother will take you to find your brother, the crown prince."
However, Zhao Yuanche shook his head.
