130. He is helping Shangguan Yu by beating around the bush
Nangong Shuo's eyes stayed calmly on Wang Shangshu's face. Looking at his sudden change in expression, his thin lips moved slightly.
There were a lot of sweat beads on his forehead, and he kept wiping it with his sleeves.
The princess looked confused, looking at the man dressed as a foreigner in front of her, and glanced between her brother and the emperor.
Looking at Wang Shangshu's pale face and the way he kept wiping his sweat, she vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"Your Majesty, this is..."
Seeing Nangong Shuo's eyes turned to Wang Shangshu who was busy wiping away the cold sweat, he said:
"This mother-in-law will know better if she asks Wang Aiqing."
Wang Shangshu's face became paler and he looked very timid, but in fact, he was indeed a timid person.
The reason why the Wang family can keep up with the checks and balances of the official family is because they have the support of the princess.
Before the death of the late emperor, Nangong Shuo was only seven years old, and Nangong Shuo's mother and queen had already left with the late emperor.
The young Nangong Shuo was raised by the Queen Dowager and ascended the throne as emperor. At the same time, she gained a lot of strength in the court at that time.
Since the emperor ascended the throne at the age of seven and began to take charge at the age of sixteen, in the past ten years, the Queen Dowager has formed a considerable influence in the court.
The military forces of the imperial court were also divided into three factions, one was the Nangong family, in the hands of Nangong Shuo, one was in the hands of Shangguancheng, and the other was in the hands of the Wang family.
The reason why the Wang family is so arrogant is not because of Wang Shangshu, but because of her sister who is the concubine.
Wang Shangshu kept wiping his sweat, pretending to be calm and denying:
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen...Wei Chen doesn't know this person."
"I also believe that Aiqing will never know such an outsider who ignores the law in our country of Beixuan. In this case..."
He paused and played with his fingertips casually, looking a little careless.
The next second, I saw that his eyes became shuddering and terrifying, and his voice became a bit colder, "Someone, pull this outlaw out and quarter him into pieces!"
"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty, spare your life!!!"
The man from the Western Region knelt in front of Nangong Shuo and begged for mercy with a very obvious accent, but was kicked away by Nangong Shuo.
"You abused banned drugs in my land and dared to frame my important ministers. Do you still want to beg for mercy?"
"Your Majesty, Cao Min really did not accuse this lord unjustly. He was the one who went to find Cao Min in person in the first place. Cao Min did not dare to lie."
The people from the Western Region kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, trying hard to make Nangong Shuo believe what he said.
When Wang Shangshu saw this person pointing at him, he was so frightened that he quickly said, "Who are you? Why do you want to frame me like this? Who instigated you?"
The princess on the side did not make a sound from the beginning to the end, but quietly looked at her brother's expression and a series of strange reactions just now.
In addition, after contacting Nangong Shuo, he personally offered to accompany her to Wuhua Palace and try the case in person. He also said that he was closer to the Wang family, which was nothing more than paving the way for her current behavior.
Rather than helping the Wang family, it would be better to say that he was helping Shangguan Yu in a roundabout way.
Although she didn't want to believe that her brother had bought the banned drug, she was sure of it just from his initial reaction.
Furthermore, although the emperor was young, he was not careless in dealing with matters. If he did not have sufficient evidence, he would never bring this person to them so directly.
