Chapter 261: Not Quietly
"What are you talking about, Master? How could I blame you, Master? You are right to blame Concubine Yi, and you are also right to call her a bastard. After all, Concubine Yi, a legitimate daughter, did not help a noble born by a concubine to win a high position, and did not protect the prince born by the noble to become the crown prince. This is really treasonous. Master was right that time. The position of crown prince should belong to the prince born by noble Guo Luoluo!"
"Shut up! Shut up!" Sanguanbao glared at Madam Guo Luoluo. While he was roaring, he wanted to reach out his hand towards Madam Guo Luoluo as if to slap her, but he was blocked by Duopuku. "Get out of the way, you rebellious son!"
"Father, you want to beat my mother without asking any questions? It's not enough to favor your concubine and kill your wife, now you want to kill people to silence them? Since Father feels that relying on Yu and the nobles she gave birth to can bring you and your brothers supreme glory, then don't rely on Concubine Yi and the Fifth and Ninth Princes anymore," Duopku stared at Sanguanbao and sneered, "Father, you just rely on Princess Kejing. Your son will see how you are trampled underfoot and can never stand up again!"
Dao Bao was kneeling on the ground at the side, not knowing how to refute. When he saw his wife being thrown out of the palace and dragged back, he knew that Concubine Yi had completely given up on them!
He only hoped that Concubine Yi still had Father in her heart, and that he would be able to benefit from it then. But looking at the current situation, Daobao felt a little uneasy.
Qi Jia was crying in grievance and wanted to say something, but at the moment she was only afraid. She was a little impulsive but not completely brainless. Even now, she still felt that she was justified and thought that Concubine Yi should be on the side of their family and should listen to her father and others!
However, Qi Jia knelt on the ground, straightened her back, raised her head and pointed at Madam Guo Luoluo angrily, "Father, it was mother, it was mother who reported you to the emperor! She was responsible for everything, and she didn't stop me from talking! It was mother who wanted to frame our house to vent Concubine Yi's anger!"
The Minister of Justice Nuomin and the Left Censor-in-Chief Sun Jiagan came in person. After reading the emperor's instructions, they watched the show from the back. Sun Jiagan's brows were wrinkled like an old man in his eighties or nineties. Nuomin approached him and whispered, "Have you seen it?"
Sun Jiagan glanced at Nuomin, who was smiling cunningly. He didn't like the Minister of Justice, but he admired him. At least he could always grasp the right degree every time he did things, and he was also very popular among the court officials, which was just the opposite of himself. "I have seen it before. I have seen more outrageous things than this. Sanguanbao just doesn't have the ability to rely on women to get to the top, but he has to pretend that he is powerful and doesn't rely on anyone. Everything else is just his cover."
Nuomin actually just wanted to tease Sun Jiagan, but she didn't expect him to answer seriously. Nuomin looked at Sun Jiagan and didn't need to say it so bluntly, "Do you know why the emperor asked us to investigate secretly?"
"It wasn't done secretly. Everyone who should know knows, and the killing of a chicken to scare the monkeys has also been done," Sun Jiagan disagreed with this statement. "The emperor is just giving face to his court officials on the surface. Such an emperor is very good," much better than before.
Nuomin didn't want to speak anymore, but who asked him to deal with this guy together? "In fact, there is Concubine Yi in the palace, as well as the Fifth Prince and the Ninth Prince. As for the Guoluo family, sometimes it would be good to teach them a lesson."
"Then the emperor would not have allowed me to come," Sun Jiagan was just a bit straightforward, but he was really smart, otherwise he would not have been unable to adapt and survive after going against the emperor.
Nuomin felt that this man was his nemesis. He should not have offended the emperor recently, right? How could the emperor trick him like this?
"Then what do you want to do? Interrogate them one by one?" Nuomin glared at Sun Jiagan unhappily. How could this guy be so inflexible!
“We have to investigate what needs to be investigated. Whether Sanguanbao is the biological son, whether he said those things that insulted Concubine Yi, and whether he used the reputation of Concubine Yi and the two princes to bully others, we have to find out everything. Lord Soetu will report to the emperor at the morning court tomorrow,” Sun Jiagan had clear ideas. He did not want to investigate the entire Guo Luoluo family, and there was no need for that!
Nuomin breathed a sigh of relief. This guy was not a fool. At least he knew what to do and didn't want to lump everyone under the same roof!
Sun Jiagan looked at Nuomin deeply, and Nuomin felt that he seemed to despise her just now, but it must be an illusion!
After Qi Jia finished shouting, Yu found the right opportunity to come to Sanguan Bao's side and looked at Madam Guo Luoluo in disbelief, "Madam, even if you are jealous of me, you can't harm our entire family, right? The master has been loving you for decades, and a husband and wife is as kind as a hundred days of love. How can you do this?"
"Do you want to tell this to the palace, to the emperor? The emperor was here at the time, and I can confront him on the spot about what I said. Qi Jia, do you dare? Do you want to tell everyone here today what you said in the palace?" Madam Guo Luoluo was not afraid at all. "Since you won't come, then I will say it for you!"
"No! Don't!" Qi Jia's face was full of panic. She had realized how outrageous her words were!
"You!" When Sanguan Bao saw this, he knew something was wrong and planned to interrupt his wife from speaking.
"Father, the Qijia clan has been criticized by the emperor himself for the etiquette of their daughters," Duopu looked at Sanguanbao, "Father, do you think the Qijia clan has good etiquette?"
Sanguanbao narrowed his eyes and looked at his legitimate son, "I am your father!"
"You should be thankful that you are my father, otherwise I would skin you alive with my own hands even if I die!" Duopku's eyes were filled with hatred, and he did not hide it at all. "I am very happy that the emperor allowed Lord Sun to come, so I am not afraid that someone has been bribed. Father, I want to see you lose everything with my own eyes, otherwise it will be difficult to eliminate the hatred in my heart. As for the reputation of being unfilial, others can say whatever they want, I don't care!"
Madam Guo Luoluo did not stop him. She knew very well that as long as Concubine Yi and the two princes were there, her son would be fine. What's more, what Dupuku wanted was to travel around, and the Ninth Prince had already agreed. So Madam Guo Luoluo was happy to see that her son could vent his anger this time.
After her son finished speaking, Madam Guo Luoluo loudly told Qi Jia what she had said in Yiku Palace. Qi Jia wanted to stop her, but perhaps because Nuomin was too mean, she had someone hold her down. The same thing happened to Daobao.
As for the other young masters, they would not resist at all.
Sun Jiagan's usually expressionless face was also a little dazed at this moment. He poked Nuomin and said, "Sir, was that just a lie made up by Madam Guo Luoluo? I think there's something wrong with my ears?"
