Chapter 383 Use Your Brain
Su Wanrong seemed to come to her senses suddenly. She hurriedly stood up and knelt on the ground, saying in fear: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Please don't be angry. I dare not blame you. I only ask that you can uphold justice for me and clear my name."
Hearing this, the emperor narrowed his eyes slightly and asked in a cold tone: "Then according to your opinion, how should I decide for you?"
After hearing the emperor's question, Su Wanrong's face immediately showed an ecstatic look, and she continued, "I think that Su Qing should be punished with twenty lashes of the cane first. As for the young Marquis Jiang, he can be deprived of his official position." As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Su Qing triumphantly, her eyes full of provocation and disdain.
However, at this moment, Jiang Weiyang and Su Qing just stared at Su Wanrong expressionlessly, their eyes revealing deep contempt and disdain.
The emperor saw this and sneered. He said in a cold voice, "Is that all? Do you want me to execute the entire Jiang family? And punish the Su family as well. Would you be satisfied with that?"
Expropriate all nine clans? Su Wanrong couldn't believe her ears. The emperor actually said such words! She thought she must have heard it wrong. How could this crime be so serious that it required the expropriation of all nine clans?
"Your Majesty, that's not necessary. After all, it's not a life-threatening matter." Su Wanrong answered carefully, her voice soft and gentle, as if she was afraid of angering the extremely noble Emperor in front of her.
However, the emperor's reaction was beyond her expectations. His tone suddenly became stern, with a hint of coldness and majesty: "You still know that it is not a life-threatening matter? Do you think that everything you do is insignificant?"
Su Wanrong's face turned pale as paper in an instant. She looked up in horror and looked at the emperor's majestic face. She realized that her words just now might have caused the emperor's dissatisfaction, but she didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
"Your Majesty~~Your servant..." Su Wanrong tried to say something to calm the emperor's anger, but her voice was trembling and she seemed a little stuttering.
At this time, the emperor waved his hand and interrupted her words: "Okay, considering that you are pregnant and this is your first offense, I will not punish you. Go back and reflect on your mistakes! I hope you can reflect on your behavior." The emperor's eyes revealed a hint of impatience, and he seemed not interested in Su Wanrong's explanation.
Hearing this, Su Wanrong was delighted. She knew that the emperor's kindness meant that she had temporarily escaped, so she kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will follow your instructions and reflect on my mistakes behind closed doors."
The emperor nodded slightly, showing his satisfaction. Then, he turned his gaze to Su Qing and Jiang Weiyang, and said, "You two should stand up as well. Let's end today's matter here, and don't mention it again in the future."
Jiang Weiyang and Su Qing looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief. They stood up together and saluted to the emperor: "Thank you, Your Majesty. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."
"Go down!" The emperor looked at Su Wanrong again and said in a cold tone, "You should go back too! You are not allowed to enter without being summoned."
"Your Highness, I will take my leave." After Jiang Weiyang and Su Qing finished their greetings, they slowly left the palace. They walked steadily and looked relaxed, as if they had gotten rid of the tense atmosphere just now.
When they walked out of the palace, they found Su Wanrong already standing outside waiting. She stared straight at Jiang Weiyang and Su Qing, revealing a hint of resentment and resentment in her eyes.
However, Jiang Weiyang and Su Qing were not intimidated by her eyes, and they met Su Wanrong's gaze without fear. Su Qing's eyes were firm and confident, as if telling Su Wanrong that she would not be easily defeated.
Seeing this, Su Wanrong raised her lips slightly and sneered. She slowly walked towards Jiang Weiyang and Su Qing, with each step carrying a provocative meaning.
"Do you think you can escape this way?" Su Wanrong's voice was icy cold, making people feel a chill.
Jiang Weiyang frowned slightly. He looked at Su Wanrong and said seriously, "Su Wanrong, don't push your luck."
Su Wanrong snorted coldly, "Humph! Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. Aren't you just trying to take this opportunity to get rid of me?"
After hearing this, Su Qing couldn't help but retort: "Su Wanrong, don't spit blood at us. We have never had such an idea."
"Really? Then why did you stop me from seeing the emperor? Aren't you afraid that I would tell the truth?" Su Wanrong pressed on, trying to put Jiang Weiyang and Su Qing in a passive position.
Jiang Weiyang sneered, "The so-called truth you said is just your one-sided statement. If you still have a little bit of reason, you should reflect on your behavior."
Su Wanrong stared at Jiang Weiyang, the anger in her eyes growing stronger. She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay! Just wait and see! I won't just let it go."
Jiang Weiyang lowered his head and whispered a few words to Su Qing, then turned and left. Seeing this, Su Wanrong walked up to Su Qing and said, "Sixth sister, you are so smart. Now the emperor is all around you. Humph~" Su Wanrong really looked down on Su Qing since she was a child. When she was little, she relied on her beauty and didn't learn anything.
Su Qing stared at Su Wanrong for a long time, because Su Qing couldn't understand why Su Wanrong wanted to kill her. She had never fought with her for anything, so why did she have to confront her?
"Empress Xianfei, oh no, Fourth Sister, I want to remind you, if the emperor really punishes me, how good do you think you will be? Use your brain before you speak, your last name is Su, we are the same Su, understand? Also, I am not targeting you, please don't always make trouble, understand? Fourth Sister?" Su Qing gritted her teeth and emphasized the three words "Fourth Sister". After speaking, she turned around and left.
However, Su Wanrong did not intend to give up. She secretly vowed to make Su Qing and Jiang Weiyang pay the price...
On the way back home, Su Qing fell into deep thought. Why was Su Wanrong targeting her so much? Was there some misunderstanding?
