Chapter 368: Huge reversal, losing miserably
"Madam, I am not trying to stop you. It is the inner court guards who are guarding outside your house. You should not go out."
"You mean the inner court guards are outside the gate of my house and are here to stop me?" *** confirmed again.
"Yes." The father-in-law replied weakly.
***I don't believe it.
I have to go out and verify it myself!
Outside the *** Mansion, everyone was talking in low voices.
"These people are inner court guards. This incident has obviously alarmed the emperor!"
"I'm really worried about the Crown Prince and his wife. Aren't these people here to arrest them?"
"Who knows? There's no movement yet."
Xiao Yan'an looked at the inner court guards and felt a little worried.
If only he was arrested, he would not be afraid at all. What he was worried about was that Ji Chuhe would be taken away.
"Madam, if the inner court guards start taking action later, don't separate from me." Xiao Yan'an instructed Ji Chuhe.
"Don't worry, Prince. Those inner court guards are not here to arrest us." Ji Chuhe's tone was very firm.
"Really?" Xiao Yan'an still didn't believe it.
"If they were here to arrest us, they would have attacked us as soon as they arrived."
Xiao Yan'an thought about it carefully and nodded in approval.
He couldn't help but recall what Ji Chuhe had said: She never fights an unprepared battle.
If the situation in the court had not influenced the emperor's attitude, their making such a fuss would have been tantamount to handing their necks over to the empress dowager and the empress.
The situation in the court was also caused by the lady.
If he had not followed his wife, experienced it personally, and seen it with his own eyes, he would not have believed that a weak woman could have such great talent and strategy.
Xiao Yan'an immediately straightened his chest.
Since they are not here to arrest them, then the unlucky ones are the ones who are unlucky!
*** strode out of the mansion and was immediately stopped by the inner court guards.
"***, the emperor has ordered that you cannot step out of ***'s mansion."
"I want to see the Emperor!"
"The emperor said that once ***'s house arrest is lifted, she can enter the palace to meet him."
"I want to see the Queen Mother!" *** shouted out of control.
"Someone, send her back home!" the guard leader shouted.
Two guards immediately stepped forward, picked up the man, and sent him back to the palace.
The chief of the guards went forward personally and closed the door of the mansion.
This scene surprised the people around!
They worried for nothing.
The inner court guards were not here to arrest the Crown Prince and his wife.
They have lived in the imperial capital for so many years, and this is the first time they have seen *** in such an embarrassing state!
Suddenly, the tightly closed door opened again.
Everyone stretched their necks to look in that direction.
I saw a guard coming out carrying a thin man.
This man had wounds all over his body, his face and nose were bruised and swollen.
"Could this person be Shen Chengjing?"
"It's probably him!"
"Are they going to send Shen Chengjing to the government office?"
The leader of the guards suddenly turned around and walked towards Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an.
"Crown Prince, Crown Princess." The leader bowed to the two of them.
"It turns out to be Commander Lin." Xiao Yan'an knew this person.
"Shen Chengjing has been arrested. May I ask whether you should send him to the government office, or should I personally send someone to send him there?"
"Then it will be Commander Lao Lin." Xiao Yan'an wanted the inner court guards to send him over.
When the people in the government office see the inner court guards, they will definitely not have any ulterior motives in their minds.
"Okay, Prince, then I will send someone to send Shen Chengjing to the government office for interrogation."
Ji Chuhe suddenly knelt down and kowtowed three times towards the direction of the imperial palace.
Xiao Yan'an also quickly knelt down.
As the two men knelt, the people behind them also knelt down quickly.
When the people around saw this, their knees went weak and they knelt down as well.
Although they didn't know why they were kneeling, they felt that it was right to kneel down in this situation.
"Your Majesty is wise! The country is fortunate and the people are blessed. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long, long live the emperor!" Ji Chuhe raised his head and shouted loudly.
Xiao Yan'an immediately followed suit and shouted: "Long live our emperor, long live our emperor, long, long live our emperor!"
When Commander Lin heard this, he also knelt down.
The people also shouted: "Long live our emperor, long live our emperor, long, long live our emperor."
*** was in the mansion, listening to the uniform shouting outside, and was so angry that he threw everything in front of him!
"How did Ji Chuhe get the emperor to stand on her side?"
"Just because the Duke's Mansion has just gained some power?"
"Or is it just because she shouts a few times, 'Long live the emperor, long live the emperor, long, long live the emperor'?"
***I can’t figure out where she lost!
……
royal palace.
Chao Sihai trotted all the way to report the situation outside the palace to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, the inner court guards have arrested Shen Chengjing and sent him to the government office for interrogation."
"What was Xiao Yan'an and Ji Chuhe's reaction?"
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's wife excitedly kowtowed to the Emperor in the direction of the Imperial Palace! She also said that the Emperor is wise and wise! The country is fortunate and the people are blessed! She shouted, "Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long, long live the Emperor!"
"Did she really say that?"
"Yes, Your Majesty! The Crown Prince also knelt down. Finally, all the people who were watching the excitement knelt down and shouted together, "Long live the emperor!" The scene was so spectacular!
After saying this to Sihai, he carefully looked at the emperor's expression.
There was only a hint of smile in the emperor's eyes.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother must have received the news by now." As soon as Chao Sihai finished speaking, he heard a report coming from outside.
"The Queen Mother has arrived."
The emperor stood up and went to greet him.
"My son, I pay my respects to my mother."
The Queen Mother walked right around the Emperor and sat on the chair.
The emperor turned around and walked in front of the empress dowager.
“Your Majesty, I don’t understand. Your sister’s targeting of Ji Chuhe was all our plan! It’s impossible for Xiao Yan’an to divorce Ji Chuhe on her own, so we had to take action to abolish Ji Chuhe’s status as the Crown Prince’s wife! Now that the plan is about to succeed, why did you stop it and punish your sister?” The Queen Mother asked angrily.
"Mother, my sister is indeed wrong in this matter. Even if we want to depose Ji Chuhe from the position of Crown Prince's wife, we cannot lose the support of the people." The emperor made up an excuse.
"But, your punishment for your sister is too humiliating! She is your biological sister, the queen of Daxia! After this incident, I don't know how many people laughed at her behind her back. How can you let her go out and meet people in the future?"
"Mother, my sister has been arrogant and domineering in the imperial capital these years. She never takes anyone seriously. Take her clinic for example. She does not allow other clinics to exist. Even if there are some doctors who know how to do medicine, they cannot practice medicine privately. Ordinary people cannot sell herbs privately. Her behavior has already aroused public anger!"
