After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day

Chapter 308 1 life for 1 life

Jiang Yu's expression remained unchanged. He just continued to put the ribs into Yun Shuning's bowl and said, "Let her in."

After a moment, Pei Yan was led into the room.

It was a very cold day, but she didn't even wear a cloak. Her clothes were thin and her face was pale. As soon as she entered the door, she knelt on the ground with a plop: "Your Highness Prince Rui, please save the prince and speak for him. Father loves you the most. As long as you speak, father will definitely listen. The prince was just confused for a moment. He has cared about father's words and deeds for so many years. This time, he must have been bewitched by the villain. He..."

Pei Yan bit her lower lip, tears streaming down her cheeks, and she couldn't say any more.

Jiang Yu looked at Pei Yan who was kneeling on the ground and said calmly, "Get up."

Pei Yan knelt stubbornly and just stared at him with her red eyes.

Jiang Yu pursed his lips and said slowly: "This matter, I am powerless to do anything. Father has already made the decision on the Crown Prince's matter."

When Pei Yan heard this, her face turned even paler, tears kept rolling down her cheeks. She said tearfully, "Your Highness, Prince Rui, the Crown Prince is your elder brother after all. Please, please help him again."

Jiang Yu closed his eyes, sighed, and said in a deep voice: "This matter, I really can't do anything about it."

The last glimmer of light in Pei Yan's eyes suddenly went out.

She bit her lower lip tightly, lowered her head, and spots of blur appeared on the ground.

As if she remembered something, she suddenly looked up at Yun Shuning, her body trembling, her mouth opened, but she couldn't utter a word.

Yun Shuning understood what she wanted to say.

She was silent for a moment, then stood up and walked to Pei Yan. She slowly took out a jade-white porcelain bottle from her sleeve, looked at Pei Yan and said, "For the Crown Prince's treason, someone must confess and be punished. This contains a slow-acting poison that won't kill you immediately. As long as the Crown Princess takes this medicine for half a month, I will plead for the Crown Prince. I just don't know if the Crown Princess is willing to exchange one life for another?"

Yun Shuning rescued Emperor Jingsheng from the King of Hell many times, and she holds a great importance in Emperor Jingsheng's heart.

Apart from Jiang Yu, she is the one who has the most authority in front of Emperor Jingsheng.

Jiang Yu dotes on Yun Shuning so much. If Yun Shuning agrees, maybe he will be willing to go to Emperor Jingsheng to plead for mercy for her sake. In this way, Jiang Hong's hope of survival will increase a little.

Pei Yan took the porcelain bottle without hesitation and swallowed the contents in one gulp, her eyes full of determination and resoluteness: "Okay, I promise you."

Yun Shuning watched her movements, her eyes twinkling, and she said softly, "Don't worry, Crown Princess, I will definitely plead for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Pei Yan forced a smile through her tears: "I hope Miss Yun will keep her word."

Outside the window, snow was falling and in the howling cold wind, Pei Yan's figure gradually disappeared in the snow, leaving behind endless coldness and desolation.

Yun Shuning sighed softly, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes. She looked at Jiang Yu and said, "Is it really okay to do this?"

Jiang Yu held her hand and said gently, "This is the best ending for them."

The flame of the copper lamp was stretched by the wind, and the light and shadow changed from bright to dark and then to bright again for several cycles. Suddenly, it trembled and went out weakly, startled by the sound of the memorial suddenly falling to the ground.

The court officials stood in the hall with bated breath and solemn expressions, not daring to utter a word in the extreme silence that followed the noise.

Until Emperor Jingsheng spoke up: "Just now, my dear ministers mentioned that the war on the border was urgent, and General Yunzhong killed the military supervisor when the battle was in full swing. What was that?"

All the civil and military officials in the court shuddered, looked at each other, pursed their lips and said nothing.

Just as Emperor Jingsheng frowned impatiently, Censor Liu said loudly: "Your Majesty, General Yun beheaded the military supervisor. This is an act of insubordination. This clearly shows that Yun Zhong and Yun Yan have rebellious intentions. They should be held accountable immediately to serve as a warning to others!"

With the first person to speak out, the hall suddenly became noisy. Several court officials behind Censor Liu also echoed the voices, demanding the execution of Yun Zhong and Yun Yan.

Emperor Jingsheng sat high on the dragon throne, his face gloomy and his cheeks clenched tightly.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and he slammed the imperial desk with a thunderous sound: "You all say that Yun Zhong and Yun Yan have rebellious hearts, and you all want to execute them, but what?! After executing them, who will resist the foreign enemies? You guys talk big in the court and command troops, then tell me, who among you is willing to go to the battlefield in person?!"

Censor Liu choked, his gray beard trembled, and he could not utter a word. The other court officials who followed his voice were also speechless. They looked at each other with difficulty.

The entire court fell into an eerie silence, and only the anger of Emperor Jingsheng could be heard burning in the air like flames.

After a moment, he snorted and laughed, and glanced at everyone coldly and said, "So no one is willing? Good, good, in that case, those who impeached just now will be executed for the crime of sowing discord!"

The faces of the impeaching courtiers, including Censor Liu, suddenly changed. Their bodies felt colder than if they had fallen into an ice cave. They immediately knelt down and shouted, "Your Majesty, please spare us! Your Majesty, please spare us! We are only thinking about the country and the people. We are only thinking about Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Jingsheng didn't even want to look at them again and waved his hand impatiently.

Immediately, guards came forward and dragged the man away. Amid the cries and pleas for mercy, Emperor Jingsheng said coldly, "How can you speak nonsense about state affairs? From now on, anyone who wants to speak should weigh it first, and decide what to say and what not to say. Don't speak nonsense."

At this moment, an elderly court official stepped forward and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's conspiracy has not yet been concluded. Right now, the people in the capital are talking about it, and it is really difficult to quell the public anger. For the sake of the overall situation, will Your Majesty..."

Emperor Jingsheng's expression became even gloomier and he closed his eyes.
