Li Tai's words instantly disturbed the peaceful Taiji Palace.
All the officials looked at the eight-year-old child in shock.
When ordinary people came to Taiji Palace for the first time, they wouldn't even dare to breathe loudly. However, this person was actually eating melon seeds. Now, she was even directly facing Yin Defei and directly refuted Yin Defei's words.
This kid was not ordinary!
Yin Defei didn't expect Li Tai to talk back. She suppressed her anger and snorted coldly,""Bengong is crying because she has been wronged!”
Li Tai blinked and said,
"What are you feeling wronged for? Did I break Zhang Kong's legs and throw him into the moat? If that's the reason, then you don't have to be wronged. The one who should be wronged is our King Qin's Residence!”
Consort Yin De raised her head and glanced at Li Er. Seeing that he was looking down and allowing Li Tai to continue shouting, she couldn't help but say angrily,"
"Your King Qin's Mansion is too much! I sent Zhang Kong to apologize, but not only did you not appreciate it, you even beat him up. Now, you're biting back and saying that your King Qin's Residence is innocent?”
Li Tai nodded seriously and said in a tender voice,"
"That's right, our King Qin's Residence is the most wronged. You said that you asked Zhang Kong to come to my King Qin's Residence to apologize, but why did he come empty-handed? Not only that, he even extorted a jade pendant from my Uncle Du. Is this how you apologize?”
"Nonsense!" Yin Defei retorted. Zhang Kong is not that kind of person!"
"But he's a eunuch, not a human," Li Tai said in a childish voice.”
Puchi!
For a moment, muffled laughter suddenly sounded in the hall.
This kid is amazing!
It was too f * cking annoying!
"You-"
Yin Defei was so angry that she couldn't speak.
At this moment, Li Jiancheng suddenly said,"
"Consort De, since the people of Prince Qin's Mansion are slandering Eunuch Zhang for not being sincere in coming to apologize and even have the intention of extorting him, why don't you invite Eunuch Zhang over and confront him?”
Consort Yin De came back to her senses and glared at Li Tai with some annoyance. She was really muddle-headed from anger. What was the point of arguing with a child? What was important now was to target the Prince Qin's residence and make them speechless later.
Consort Yin De snorted coldly." Alright," she said." BenGong will get Eunuch Zhang to come over now!"”
With that, Yin Defei shot a look outside the hall.
Before long, two eunuchs carried a stretcher into the court.
Everyone focused their eyes.
On the stretcher lay a pale, beardless man.
It was Zhang Kong!
Li Er opened his eyes and took a look. He could not help but frown. He looked deeply at the calm Li Jiancheng. What a good move. Everything was prepared. He was just waiting to bring Zhang Kong out!
At this moment, the expressions of the people from King Qin's Mansion changed.
Now, bring out Zhang Kong.
His intentions were obvious!
But could they stop him?
He couldn't stop it!
This was the person that the Crown Prince had hinted to let in!
It was His Highness the Crown Prince!
At this moment, Zhang Kong, who was lying on the stretcher, sat up shakily. His face was pale and bloodless as he said,"This servant greets Consort De Niangniang, greets His Highness the Crown Prince…"
"Zhang Kong, tell the truth, bengong will help you!”
Consort Yin De tilted her head to look at Li Er and said coldly to Zhang Kong,""Yesterday, you went to King Qin's Mansion to apologize under my orders. Did you go empty-handed? Did you extort money from the people of King Qin's Mansion?”
Zhang Kong immediately prostrated himself on the ground and cried while wiping his tears,"
"Consort De niangniang, if you want to add a crime, why do you have no excuse!”
"Even if this servant isn't human, how would I dare to disobey and delay the great matter that the Empress entrusted me with? This servant dares to use my head to guarantee that I didn't extort the wealth of King Qin's Mansion and I didn't leave empty-handed. The gift this servant brought back then was the luminous pearl that His Majesty gave to the Empress!”
As he spoke, Zhang Kong used his head to grab the ground and said in a shrill voice,""This servant is useless. When this servant entered King Qin's mansion, I was beaten up by the people of King Qin's mansion. Not only did I break my legs, but when I was thrown into the moat, I lost that luminous pearl.”
Bang! Bang!
When he looked at Zhang Kong again, his forehead was covered in blood, which showed how much strength he had used!
Yin Defei's eyes were red as she held onto him and said in a choked voice,""Don't kowtow anymore. BenGong believes you. BenGong has already asked His Highness the Crown Prince to help investigate the night pearl you lost.”
As she spoke, she looked at Li Jiancheng with tears in her eyes.
All the officials in the court stared at the Crown Prince.
Li Jiancheng glanced at the officials and said calmly,"
"Consort De told Jiancheng about this matter. Jiancheng felt that he was duty-bound to suffer injustice for those who should not be wronged, so he ordered people to go to the moat to salvage it. Yuanji, take it out."
"Here!"
Li Yuanji chuckled and strode out of the hall. When he returned, he held an open wooden box in his hand.
A luminous pearl lay silently in the wooden box!
" Look, ministers!" Li Yuanji shouted." This is the luminous pearl that Zhang Kong mentioned, which was fished out of the moat overnight!"”
After saying that, Li Yuanji sneered at Li Er and the officials who were loyal to Prince Qin's Mansion.""There are witnesses and evidence. What else do you have to say?!”
Li Er's face darkened.
The officials who were loyal to King Qin's Mansion all had ugly expressions.
Du Ruhui's face was livid with anger, and he clenched his fists angrily.
What did he mean by twisting black and white?
This was it!
Did these people not know whether there were witnesses and evidence?!
The neutral faction started to hesitate. Although they had received benefits from King Qin's Mansion, King Qin's Mansion was bound to be severely punished. Now that His Majesty was here, would he let the people of King Qin's Mansion off?
At this moment, he might as well sell it!
"Ai, I didn't expect that Eunuch Zhang would suffer such injustice!”
"Prince Qin's Mansion is too much!”
"That's right. Consort De kindly sent Eunuch Zhang to apologize, but Eunuch Zhang's legs were broken and thrown into the moat. Now he's being slandered like this. This official can't stand it anymore!”
At once, three officials from the neutral party stood out and said angrily.
Li Er looked over, and a cold light flashed across his eyes.
Assistant Minister of Rites, Wu Qishan!
Assistant Minister of Revenue, Wang Yuan!
There was also the Minister of Works, Liu Yu!
The three neutral factions had taken a lot of benefits from King Qin's Mansion yesterday.
At this moment, they all changed sides and spoke up for the Crown Prince!
A bitter smile appeared on Li Er's face, and a feeling of powerlessness welled up in his heart.
Prince Qin's mansion was probably doomed today!
The Eastern Palace's methods were vicious and effective!
So what if they knew that they were making it up out of thin air? Who could prove it? Just as Li Yuanji had said, there were witnesses and evidence. What other method could make Imperial Father believe that all of this was fake?
Unless his father saw it with his own eyes!
Otherwise, anyone else would have been fooled by the Eastern Palace's methods!
Crack, crack---
At this moment, the sound of melon seeds being chewed could be heard again.
Immediately after, the child's voice resounded throughout the hall."Wonderful. I want to give you guys a round of applause. How did you guys come up with such a wonderful method? I almost took it seriously!"
