In the East Palace, the prince and Shu Yuwan were watching the progress of the matter.
When they heard that Peng Mansion was imprisoned, the couple looked at each other and smiled.
Shu Yuwan thought for a while and said, "Ajin, I promised Mrs. An Dinghou that as long as she stands up, collects evidence, and goes to Zhang Yushi to file a complaint, I will help her save An Shaoyan."
The prince smiled softly: "Okay, I know, don't worry."
In the Dali Temple prison, An Shaoyan was taken out as soon as he entered. Now the Peng family naturally knew who had let him in!
The eldest sister-in-law of the Peng family, the lady who had been in contact with Zhao Qingqing at the beginning, scolded Mr. Peng angrily: "It's all you who brought such a disaster into the house, and you didn't know how to guard against her!"
Peng Er was naturally not easy to get along with, so he counterattacked: "It's not me who wants to marry, it's not what dad asked me to marry! This Anding Marquis Mansion is also an alliance you want to form, who knows that this person will betray you!"
"Besides, apart from me, my eldest brother is also good at this!"
The sister-in-law of the Peng family looked ugly and wanted to scold her again. Peng Shangshu, who was sitting with his eyes closed and concentrating, said: "Shut up."
"When something happens, you start criticizing each other. Is this what I have taught you all these years?"
The Peng family's sister-in-law and Peng Erye both shut up when they heard Peng Shangshu speak.
Peng Da asked: "Father, is it really the matter of this second child that attracted the imperial army?"
Peng Shangshu nodded with satisfaction, there was finally something useful in this family.
"Yes, there must be other things. It's just that we were caught suddenly and we were not prepared at all. Now we can only count on your sister."
In the palace, when Concubine Xian got the news, the entire Peng family was already in prison in Dali Temple.
Concubine Xian was in a bad state. She didn't receive any news at all. How could the Peng family be imprisoned suddenly?
While hurriedly sending someone to inquire about the situation, he found Chengqian Palace and asked to see the emperor.
When the emperor heard that Concubine Xian was asking for an audience outside, he didn't care much. He had no feelings for Concubine Xian in the first place.
At first, the title of "Xian" was given to Concubine Xian because he felt that Peng Shangshu was highly virtuous and respected, and Concubine Xian was also virtuous and virtuous. Now it seems that it is just an appearance.
The emperor refused to see her, so the concubine Xian knelt down outside Chengqian Hall.
When Eunuch Hong went in to report, the emperor said casually: "Let her do as she pleases. Kneel down if you want."
The fifth prince also quickly received the news.
I felt a little desperate for a while!
Although he doesn't want to be restricted by the Peng family and Xian Fei, the Peng family is his last resort, and now even the Peng family has collapsed!
The fifth prince couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, feeling like he was being watched secretly.
Concubine Xian knelt for a whole day without seeing the emperor. Knowing that this road was impassable, she did not waste any time.
He knelt down outside the palace and begged for some time, then returned to his palace.
When people around her came and reported that the imperial army had found many young boys and girls in Peng Mansion, Concubine Xian felt her eyes darken.
She also knows a thing or two about these things.
It's just that among princes, nobles and aristocratic families, this kind of thing is unavoidable. What's more, although the second brother went too far, he covered it up very well. Even in the upper class circles, there were no rumors. Why is this matter alone? Staring at the Peng family!
Concubine Xian felt something more than that for the first time, and felt a little panicked for no reason.
She is like a sparrow hiding in the background. No matter how Concubine Zhang and Concubine Shu dance, she never shows her edge in any song. Who is it that wants to target the Peng family now? And for what?
He thought about instructing the maid beside him: "Go and call the fifth prince."
......
The second day.
Everyone in the court knew the news that Peng's house had been ransacked, but no one came forward, not even those Peng Shangshu's proud disciples could say a word.
After all, the people were actually searched from the Peng Mansion. Even though the entire Peng family was imprisoned because of this incident, what else could they say.
When the court was about to go down, a student whom Peng Shangshu once promoted bravely stood up and said: "Your Majesty, although Mr. Peng is not strict in educating his children, Mr. Peng is after all a veteran of two dynasties. He is old and may not be able to withstand prison. I beg the emperor to forgive me."
The prince looked at the young official who stood up to plead for Peng Shangshu, and looked at the confidants around him. The confidants were about to go out, when he saw Zhang Yushi stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, if I object, the elders of the two dynasties can do it." Are you acting arbitrarily and harming ordinary people? "
"A veteran of two dynasties, it shows that Peng Shangshu has betrayed the trust of two kings. He is old and may have done such a thing for who knows how many years!"
The prince looked at the impassioned Yushi Zhang in surprise, and secretly exclaimed that the Yushi Zhang that Wanwan was looking for was really, really powerful.
The emperor sat quietly above.
After everyone had finished speaking, he said: "Peng Shangshu has committed more than this, so let's not discuss this matter for now."
After the court was over, the emperor called the prince to Chengqian Hall.
"Father, why did you call me here?"
The emperor's expression was normal, but the words he asked surprised the prince.
"Jin'er, why do you want to deal with Peng Shangshu?"
When the prince saw this, he didn't want to pretend to be stupid. He smiled and said, "How did your father see it?"
