Chapter 2267 It’s Lu’s nonsense

This may be the difference between people, or perhaps Du Zhongshu is just for revenge, for the most selfish self in his heart.

"Okay, Prince Du, stop pretending to act. I'm really tired of watching it. Haven't we already gone to court? Did you forget so quickly about the toothpaste case?

Du Zhongshu was speechless when he was told that he couldn't stand down for a while, but if he was asked to admit his mistake like this, he would not be willing to do so.

Suddenly the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard in the distance, followed closely by Wang Shun's voice: "The emperor's oral message is passed down, Du Zhongshu, Bai Ruozhu, and Lu Wan enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit!"

The onlookers did not dare to express their anger. It was an imperial edict. Although it was an oral decree from the emperor, ordinary people would never encounter it once in their lifetime.

This matter has to be discussed in front of the emperor, and there is no need for Bai Ruozhu to file a complaint, the emperor will make the decision.

Bai Ruozhu knew in her heart that Achun had already made it clear to the emperor. The emperor asked them to enter the palace just to use this case to find an opportunity to talk to her in private.

She saluted Wang Shun and said, "I'm really embarrassed to let you work at night."

Wang Shun returned the greeting and said, "Master Bai is so polite. It's not your fault. Master Bai has always been reasonable. Your Majesty knows this best. Don't let those ignorant people affect Master Bai's mood." Bai Ruozhu smiled, Wang Shun's attitude shows the emperor's attitude.

Lu Wan had never met Wang Shun, but she had heard about the most powerful eunuch around the emperor, and she immediately guessed his identity. Not to mention Du Zhongshu, his face became very ugly, and he quickly thought about how to explain himself to the emperor in order to regain the situation.

But at this moment, he was already despairing. The more he continued to fight with Bai Ruozhu, the more exhausted he felt physically and mentally. Especially every time Bai Ruozhu fought back fiercely, showing no mercy, as if he was stabbing him with a sharp blade. His heart is ordinary.

Every time he wanted to say to Bai Ruozhu: Why are you so cruel to me? How can you bear it?

But every time he met Bai Ruozhu's cold eyes or even sneered face, he couldn't get the words out of his mouth.

Wang Shun led the way, and the three of them quickly arrived at the palace and went straight to the imperial study. The emperor was not received in the palace so late. He was still in the royal study. He thought he would not be in a good mood at this moment.

Jiang Yichun secretly winked at Bai Ruozhu, and Bai Ruozhu knew that he had made it clear and told her not to worry. She snickered in her heart, not to mention that she was not afraid of anything, but even if he was there with her, what else did she have to worry about?

"Prince Du, the recent affairs in your family have been causing quite a stir, which is not good for your reputation." The emperor spoke with a stern tone in his voice.

"It's because of the incompetence of the humble minister that the emperor has troubled himself." Du Zhongshu saluted hurriedly and said.

Tang Yin narrowed his eyes, "I have really put a lot of effort into doing it for you. I can't go to bed this late at night, and I have to go to court tomorrow morning. Tell me why you can't worry less recently?"

Lu Wan moved her body and was about to speak when the Emperor's dagger-like gaze was cast towards him, "Here comes someone, slap the mouth!"

The emperor didn't need to say who to hit. The female officer followed his gaze to find Lu Wan, held down her shoulders and started to slap her.

Bai Ruozhu felt relieved for a while, but she didn't even have time to take action. What a pity.

But there's not much point in beating this kind of person. Even if you beat Eucommia ulmoides, it's hard to be ruthless. You're still suppressing your anger. What's the point?

The female officer slapped her about twenty times before the emperor raised his head and asked her to stop. The female officer dropped Lu Wan and stepped aside.

Lu Wan had been beaten into a pig's head at this moment, lying on the ground and sobbing. She quietly glanced at Du Zhongshu, and he didn't even have the slightest intention to plead for her. This man was so cruel!

Seeing Lu Wan's expression, Bai Ruozhu snickered in her heart, saluted the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, Mr. Lu said in public that Prince Du called Wei Chen's name when he had sex with her. Please make the decision for Wei Chen, and return the favor." I am fair to you!"

As soon as he said this, Jiang Yichun's eyes swiped at Du Zhongshu like knives, wishing to poke a few holes in him.

"Oh? That's what Mr. Lu said?" The emperor looked at Du Zhongshu, "What did you say, King Du?"

Du Zhongshu was stunned for a moment. Before he could answer, Bai Ruozhu knelt on the ground with a thud. Looking at Jiang Yichun next to him, he felt heartbroken. Couldn't she be gentler and feel more sorry for her knees? She doesn't feel bad about herself, but he does!

"Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for me. Mr. Lu and Prince Du know clearly that I am married and yet they still humiliate me like this in public. If this matter is not made clear, how will the people in the world talk about me? I am a fourth-grade official granted by the imperial court. , they insulted the imperial officials like this, what else can they do if they are not bullying others based on their military merit?" Bai Ruozhu said loudly.

Tang Yin's face darkened, "Prince Du, how do you explain?"

Du Zhongshu also hurriedly knelt down, "I..."

Before he could speak, Wang Shun next to him said: "Your Majesty, no matter how infatuated Prince Du is, he will not be so confused. This Lu family has been fooling around. How credible is what he said? It cannot be because of the influence of this cunning woman." It has damaged the reputation of these two important ministers."

Bai Ruozhu also knew that the emperor could not severely punish Du Zhongshu at this time because of the Yueqiu Department, so he could only blame Lu Wan.

She is not a pushover, as long as she can be slapped in the face by Du Zhongshu. As for that Lu Wan, he deserved his fate today.

"Your Majesty, spare your life, everything I said is true!" Lu Wan's face turned pale with fear and she spoke slurringly.

The emperor glanced at her displeasedly, as if he were looking at trash, "Come here, drag this cunning woman down and hit her with thirty boards, and then send her back to Prince Du's Mansion, and give her to Prince Du to discipline her!"

"Yes." The guard took the order and dragged Lu Wan out. Lu Wan wanted to call for help, but soon she lost her voice. It was obvious that someone had sealed her mute point.

"Du Qing, this time you failed to discipline me well, and you also acted inappropriately. I think that since you have made great contributions to the country and are still injured, I will punish you to go back and face the wall for two months. This is I don't want to hear any more gossip about you in two months!" Tang Yin said sternly, this time he was really angry.

"Yes, I will remember the emperor's teachings." Du Zhongshu said with a salute.

The emperor waved his sleeves impatiently, "Okay, your internal injuries haven't healed yet, so go back and rest."

After sending away Du Zhongshu, the emperor said to Wang Shun: "Ask them to go down, and I will have a good talk with Jiang Aiqing."

This posture was to appease Jiang Yichun and Bai Ruozhu.
