Chapter 467 Is She Worth a City?
Su Yueyao walked to the court and found that the queen's face was not very good. Her little thing shouldn't make her so angry! What happened?
"Su Yueyao, Lord Feng, the Junior Secretary of the Guanglu Temple, has reported you for injuring his son and abusing your power for personal gain to have the Fengyu Guards take him away. How do you explain this?" said the Queen.
"Your Majesty, I went to Xianheju yesterday. As soon as I walked out of the store, Lord Feng's son rushed towards me. Deputy Commander Cui thought he was an assassin and kicked him out."
"Master Feng, you said I injured your son, but what crime should he be charged with for attacking a woman?"
"My son is the most disciplined person. He must have been careless..."
"Lord Feng and Master Feng said exactly the same thing! A man accidentally pounced on a woman he saw outside. Is he trying to blackmail me?" Su Yueyao said directly.
"you...."
"No matter what, my son didn't hurt you. Why did the Fengyu Guards just take him away?"
"Speaking of this, Lord Feng, you have to tell me what your son wants to do. Deputy Commander Cui was the concubine I personally asked to marry in a sedan chair with eight bearers. Your son came here to ask me to divorce him. What do you mean?"
"A young man without an official position can easily interfere with a woman's affairs in her harem? Is this the family education of Master Feng?"
"It was just a matter of words. Master Feng also apologized. I was about to get on the carriage and go back. How well-mannered is your master! He stopped me and asked me to have dinner with him?"
"Don't you know that I, with my position as a Grand Tutor, have to dine with a young man without an official position? If so, Your Majesty can take back my position as the Grand Tutor of the Princess." Su Yueyao snorted coldly.
"Your Majesty, Lord Feng should be punished for his poor parenting." Gongyang Ruoyu stepped out and said.
"You are the servant of Grand Tutor Su, how can you use public power to take revenge on personal enemies?" Lord Feng had already begun to wipe the sweat off his face nervously.
But his legitimate son is the only child of the Feng family! He can't help but save him!
"I am the Chief Censor, so it is normal for me to report anyone. I clearly distinguish between public and private affairs."
"Your Majesty, although I am the servant of Grand Tutor Su, I have to protect her. Logically, what Lord Feng's son did was indeed wrong." Gongyang Ruoyu said in a loud voice.
"Your Majesty, I have just returned from Nanling Prefecture and have been inspecting all officials. Lord Feng made many omissions in the sacrificial rituals and even embezzled the funds allocated by the Ministry of Rites. This is the evidence and testimony I have collected." Pu An stepped out and said.
"Your Majesty, this is a false accusation." Lord Feng said immediately.
The evidence provided by Pu An was handed over to the Queen, and Lord Feng looked dejected.
"Your Majesty, the Southern Guards are requesting an audience."
"Xuan."
Nanfeng walked slowly to the court.
"Your Majesty, my subordinates arrested Lord Feng's son yesterday. The charges were harassment and attempted coercion of a woman. There was no favoritism."
"And Master Feng has already confessed that he fell for Master Su because he saw her beauty and wanted to marry her. He also confessed that he used Master Feng's official position to harass civilian women around him many times."
"This is the testimony of Mr. Feng, the minister, and also the testimony of some women around Feng's restaurant."
Nanfeng took out the testimony, and Fu'an, the internal official, walked over and took it and handed it to the empress.
After reading them, the Queen threw both documents down.
"Master Feng, take a good look at what you have done. You have taken bribes and embezzled money. What has your good son done? The people around you tolerate you because of your position, but your good son has been using his position to harass women."
Lord Feng's face turned pale, and he knew he could not escape, so he wanted to save his son. But when he saw his son's testimony, he couldn't believe what he saw. His son had been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child, so how dare he do such a thing.
"Your Majesty, the Southern Guard envoy must have been tortured into confessing. There is something wrong with this testimony." Lord Feng said in disbelief.
"I did not resort to any private punishment. Feng Qing is already outside the palace. Your Majesty can summon him at any time."
"Send Feng Qing in."
Feng Qing was too timid to step forward, so Fengyuwei directly escorted him over.
When he saw his father he ran over immediately.
"Father, please save me. I don't want to stay in Fengyuwei."
"The rebellious son dares not to salute His Majesty."
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty."
"Feng Qing, did the Southern Guards torture you?"
"Your Majesty, no, the Phoenix Feather Guard's cell is too dark, I'm afraid."
"Feng Qing, are the questions that the Southern Guard envoy asked you true?" Gongyang Ruoyu asked directly.
"I... really mean it. I didn't mean to harass those women. I just wanted to choose a good wife."
"Rebellious son." Upon hearing this, Lord Feng slapped him in the face and fainted.
"Father...."
The Queen looked at these two troublesome guys and simply waved her hand, and the eunuchs escorted them out.
Nanfeng also bowed and left.
Su Yueyao looked at Nanfeng who had already bowed and left, as well as Gongyang Ruoyu and Pu An who were standing in the court. She didn't expect that even if she didn't go to see them, they would be ready to protect her at any time. This was a favor...
I think the evidence about Pu'an and Nanfeng was also found by someone yesterday.
Before Su Yueyao could recover from her shock, she heard the empress say, "Su Yueyao, do you know that the regent of Dongli Kingdom has sent me a letter, offering the East Border Guard City. The only requirement is that you go to participate in the literature and poetry meeting of Dongli Kingdom."
"..."
She is worth a whole city? She is so valuable! Why not just give her the city!
"Your Majesty, I am still recuperating, and my daughter is not even a month old yet!"
"The Queen Regent also said that she has found her long-lost son this time and wants you to go back to Dongli with him. In this way, Dongli is willing to sign a 100-year contract with our dynasty to ensure peace between the two countries."
"..."
"Your Majesty, this is a blessing for the Fengluan Kingdom. The Grand Tutor is an accomplished writer. This trip will not only help us recapture the garrison city, but also enhance the prestige of our dynasty and sign a contract." An official stepped out and said.
"I second the proposal."
"I second the proposal."
"..."
"Your Majesty, Grand Tutor Su is the Grand Tutor of the Crown Princess. Now she is the woman who gave birth to twin daughters in our dynasty. The Dongli Kingdom is cunning. What should we do if Grand Tutor Su is detained in the Dongli Kingdom?" Pu An stepped out and said.
"I second the proposal."
"Your Majesty, the reputation of Grand Tutor Su giving birth to twin daughters has spread. If you go to Dongli Country now, I'm afraid they will do something bad to you!"
"Teacher Su's mission alone can stabilize the eastern border for hundreds of years, which is a great achievement for the country."
"I think..."
"Master Su..."
Su Yueyao was speechless watching the ministers quarreling with each other in the court. She felt that His Majesty would not miss this opportunity. Hundreds of years of peace plus the bargaining chip of a city. If she were the empress, she would agree too!
"I will discuss this matter with Su Taifu alone. After adjourning the court, Su Yueyao will follow me to the imperial study."
"The minister obeys the order."
When Su Yueyao arrived at the imperial study, she had thought it through. She now understood that when Wei Jihua chose her to be his concubine and she refused, he left without any reluctance. This was his backup plan!
That would be really abominable.
