Plastic Surgeon & Thief Princess - C132
Everyone looked at the crown prince. The one whose evidence was clearly on the ground was a saint robber. Why did the crown prince say that?
Rong Jiu had a bad premonition, could it be that he realized something?
“Yu’er, do you have any proof?”
The emperor’s expression didn’t look too good. This matter had been handed over to the crown prince for a long time. Now that someone found the Sage Thief, he came to interfere.
“father, since I dare to say that, I naturally have proof.” “This person is not a Saint Thief, he is just an ordinary Thief. Seventh Brother captured him, and Third Brother agreed, just to confuse him and make him happy.”
“Oh?”
The emperor narrowed his eyes and looked at everyone, as if he was all ears.
“In order to help Seventh Brother catch the Thief Sage faster, I also sent people to investigate. Although I didn’t find out who was the Thief Sage, it definitely wasn’t this person.” The Crown Prince said.
“What about His Highness’ evidence?” Rong Jiu said.
“Bring it up!”
The crown prince clapped and a couple was brought up. The guard made the couple kneel down and the crown prince said, “They are the parents of this so-called Saint Thief. They know just what their son is capable of.”
“Spare me, please spare me, your majesty! He definitely isn’t some saint thief! He’s just someone who likes to poke around. This is a common woman and her children are lacking, but he definitely isn’t a saint robber! Please investigate more, Your Majesty!”
“Please investigate, Your Majesty.”
The pair of husband and wife were weeping, the most pitiful of them were their parents’ hearts.
“father, look, this so-called parents that stole the saint already said that he’s not a thief.”
“Su’s name, what do you have to say for yourselves?” The Emperor changed the topic to Dongfang Qiming and Dongfang Qisu.
Rong Jiu tugged at Dongfang Qisu’s clothes, then stepped forward and cupped his hands, “father, your daughter-in-law has something to say.”
“Rong Jiu, what do you have to say?”
The Emperor’s eyes were deep and profound, and his mind flickered with the images of the illusions he had seen. It had been a long time, but he was still brooding over it.
“father, my daughter-in-law would like to ask this couple a question.” Rong Jiu said seriously, the emperor nodded, and tacitly allowed her to ask.
“Are the two uncles his parents?” Rong Jiu squatted and looked at the couple.
“Yes.” Their eyes looked evasive, as if they were afraid Rong Jiu would ask them something.
“Were you present when he went to steal?”
“This …”
Rong Jiu’s words made the couple choke.
“Look at what Third Brother’s wife said, who brought their family members to steal? What’s more, the famous Thief Sage? ” The Crown Prince laughed coldly.
“Oh? So even the crown prince knows about it. ” Rong Jiu stood up, and said meaninglessly, “Then how does this uncle and aunt know if their son has done all those things?”
“You …” The Crown Prince knew that he had been tricked and almost lost his temper.
“Uncle, aunt, have you seen with your own eyes what your son did? What did you steal, what did you steal? ” Rong Jiu tilted her head and asked the couple kneeling on the ground.
“This… “This …” They kept their heads down, silent.
As far as I know, this is called An Nen, he just snuck into the Cloud Country’s Prime Minister’s residence two days ago and stole a snow lotus, that snow lotus just happened to be used by the Cloud Country’s Prime Minister to recuperate. A few days ago, He Nong entered Shang Shu Manor and stole a precious bottle, that was a treasure bestowed by the late emperor. Rong Jiu’s glib tongue caused the crown prince’s expression to change.
“Rong Jiu, what basis do you have for saying that?”
Rong Jiu gave him a big smile, “Of course I do.”
Rong Jiu looked towards the Yun Emperor and Lord Shang Shu who were listening in. There were quite a lot of officials who came to the Assiduous Hall to capture the Thief Sage.
“Your majesty, two days ago, a famous snow lotus was indeed missing from this humble subject’s home.” The Cloud Country responded.
“Reporting to your majesty, this humble subject’s family does lack a gift bottle from the previous emperor.” The Minister agreed.
A’neng, who was kneeling on the floor, shivered. The crown prince still held onto a glimmer of hope as he said, “Even if it’s true that the same lord in the Cloud Country is missing a treasure, how can you be sure that it’s A’neng who did it?”
“It’s very simple.” Rong Jiu smiled, “Ah Nong.”
An Neng raised her head and admitted, “Reporting to Your Majesty, it was all done by lowly people. I hope Your Majesty can let go of my father and mother.”
“Rong Jiu, did you submit to me like that?” If the Crown Prince didn’t believe it, how could anyone admit to it?
“Of course not.” Rong Jiu curled her lips and blinked her eyes, “This is A’Neng confessing in his heart. He is willing to admit his wrongs.”
Rong Jiu and the others caught him, and told him that as long as he pleaded guilty, he would be able to protect his family.
The emperor looked at the crown prince with dissatisfaction. “Yu’er, what else do you have to say for yourself?”
“I… father, I … ”
What else could the Crown Prince say at this moment?
Rong Jiu secretly made a face at the crown prince, causing his face to turn pale and pale.
“Looks like you’re too idle. From today onwards, Yu’er, you can go to the Compendium Pavilion. Without my permission, you are not allowed to come out!”
“father!”
The punishment he received was too severe. As the crown prince, he was the right-hand man of the country, and was forbidden from entering the Compendium Pavilion. If word of this got out, what face would he have left? And if he didn’t come out, then he wouldn’t even have the power to do so.
“Crown Prince’s Wife has arrived!”
Outside, the Eunuch Pin called out.
Ning Rouxue arrived and bowed, “Your daughter-in-law greets father.”
“Xinyan, we are talking about proper business, what are you doing here?” The Emperor loathed the crown prince, so he would naturally not give Ning Rouxue any face.
Reporting to the father, my daughter-in-law knows that the imperial harem cannot participate in politics, allowing my sister to participate in politics is also her ability, but my daughter-in-law came to see what the Saint Thief looks like. Ning Rouxue was submissive.
The emperor looked at Rong Jiu with dissatisfaction in her eyes. Rong Jiu looked at Ning Rouxue helplessly, and said, “Elder sister’s words are too much, I am not participating in politics, I am just stating the truth.”
“Oh?” Ning Rouxue asked doubtfully, “The Third Marquis’ Seventh Prince s are all here, is it even your turn to talk?”
Everyone looked at Rong Jiu, it was true that women were not allowed to participate in politics, although the Third Princess was powerful, she was still a woman in the end, it wasn’t proper for her to stand out and suppress men, right?
“What is it? Does Your Highness need your permission to speak? ” Dongfang Qisu said coldly, causing all the court officials to lower their heads, lowering their sense of existence.
“That’s not what I meant.” Ning Rouxue persisted on, but this Dongfang Qisu’s Spirit Qi was too strong, “I only said that women should not talk too much, if they show off, it would cause people to gossip.”
“Talking too much?” This King’s consort doesn’t say much. She’s just speaking up for This King. ” Dongfang Qisu looked at Ning Rouxue coldly, and no one around to ease the atmosphere, “Moreover, if you are in the limelight, it would cause people to gossip, right? You can go out and ask who dares to speak so casually about This King’s woman. ”
Rong Jiu resisted the urge to laugh and continued, “My lord, let’s keep a low profile, otherwise …”
“Or what? Who dares to bully you? “
