Chapter 1172. What mistake did the Crown Princess make?
Mrs. Tian has always been very pretentious in front of the emperor, but unfortunately many men in this world fall into this trap.
The emperor was also a man, and he was a man who held a high position and was especially keen on protecting weak women.
Mrs. Tian knew very well that she was able to remain stubborn despite Empress Jiang's persistent pressure year after year, mainly thanks to the emperor's inflated male vanity.
"Your Majesty, I just wanted to visit the prince, but before I entered the door, I saw the queen punishing the prince in the courtyard. The prince was kneeling on the ground, crying so miserably. The ground was full of stones, and the prince was so fragile.
How can such a person endure it?"
Mrs. Tian raised her moving eyes like a frightened deer: "Your Majesty, I don't understand that the Crown Princess is such a gentle and virtuous person. She is always kind and gentle to everyone she meets. She has never even scolded a servant. This is
What mistake did you make?"
"Your Majesty, I am scared, but I don't dare to contradict the queen, so I have to come and beg you, can you please investigate this matter, lest I wrongly accuse the Crown Princess in vain..."
"What are you investigating! What could the Crown Princess do wrong!" The emperor had just calmed down a little bit of his anger, and it was like a volcano erupting.
However, this time the volcano's lava solidified before it overflowed.
Mrs. Tian came in a hurry and spoke quickly. The door was open, giving a clear view of the inside and outside.
Everyone in the palace lowered their heads, except for a long-bearded man with an uplifted figure not far away, standing alone with a green face.
That is - Wei Gong, the biological father of the Crown Princess.
Seeing the emperor's eyes falling on him, Wei Gong strode over without waiting for the summons. After giving a solemn salute to the emperor, he slowly said: "Your Majesty, sir. I just accidentally heard about the Crown Princess.
Regarding being punished, as a father, I also want to know what Wei Ji did. If Wei Ji really did something wrong, the country has national laws, the palace has palace rules, and the Wei family also has the family laws of the Wei family."
This statement was clearly directed at Wei Ji, but implicitly it was also directed at others: Wei Ji was punished for making a mistake, and so was everyone else.
The emperor's irritability disappeared, and he only felt extremely tired.
How could the son he had so much hope for become like this?
How could his queen be so indifferent to others and express her anger at others - she was still a crown princess with an extraordinary status!
Now, the Crown Princess's father, the chief minister of the Three Dukes of Dayong, came to him and asked for an explanation. How could he give it?

Finally, the emperor had no choice but to return to the East Palace and intervene in the affairs of the harem.
Since no one reported her, when he arrived, what he saw was the pale and shaky Crown Princess kneeling in the courtyard under the scorching sun.
When Empress Jiang saw the emperor returning, her expression changed drastically.
"Queen, what mistake did the Crown Princess make? Which palace rule and which law did you punish according to?" The emperor's face was horribly gloomy, and his voice was horrifyingly gloomy.
"Your Majesty, it's..." The Crown Princess herself was kneeling in the courtyard.
Empress Jiang couldn't say the second half of the sentence. The emperor wouldn't believe it, and even if the princess didn't kneel down, she would make her kneel down.
"My concubine was wrong."
Empress Jiang knew the emperor well, and what he couldn't tolerate most was others deceiving him. Since the situation was irreversible, she could only retreat in order to advance.
