As soon as these words came out, all the ridicule in them reached Jiang Zining's ears.
After so many years as a monarch, he knew what it meant when Emperor Longqing made such a mocking sound.
He was a little panicked, but he still tried his best to calm down and began to think about how he should make up for it.
He was good at using forbearance to seduce people, but he didn't expect that Shen Chen had the same ability.
Without making any noise, he could pull off such a powerful trick and lure them all in.
He was not stupid.
When he met Chen Yushi, he knew that Chu Jingmeng and Chu Jingqian were plotted by Shen Chen, and they must have given Shen Chen a handle when they took action.
The top priority now is to not have anything to do with Chu Jingmeng and Chu Jingqian.
Emperor Longqing hated the formation of cliques for personal gain.
Whether it was the former King Linjiang or the previous King Jin, those who aroused his covetousness or even made him murderous were all because of collusion with important officials in the imperial court.
If he admitted that he had a relationship with Chu Jingmeng and Chu Jingqian, then in Emperor Longqing's mind, he would become a person with evil intentions and a scheming conspirator.
By then Emperor Longqing would be suspicious of everything he had done before.
Once his previous conspiracy against King Linjiang was revealed, Emperor Longqing would completely lose suspicion of King Linjiang and assume that it was him who had set up a conspiracy to slander people.
He only felt that his whole body was soaked with coldness, as if he was immersed in cold water.
He turned to Chen Yushi and smiled: "It turns out that you are fine.
It's really great.
I heard that something happened to you." " Chen Yushi didn't even look at him.
He was so thin that he was out of shape, his cheekbones were high, his cheeks were sunken, and even his lips looked unusually pale.
But his eyes were very clear.
He glanced at Jiang Zining, quickly knelt down, and bowed deeply to Emperor Long Qing.
He knelt on the ground, with his head almost touching the ground.
He choked and shouted to Emperor Longqing, "Holy Lord," and then loudly shouted: "I am wronged, I am really wronged."
Jiang Zining felt as if something was blocked in his throat, and there seemed to be thick phlegm that was stuck in his throat.
He felt uncomfortable and tight, but he didn't even dare to cough.
He hurriedly pointed at Chen Yushi and asked sternly: "What grievances do you have?"
The Holy One accused you of unfavorable supervision of the imperial mausoleum.
Could it be that you are wrong?"
This is warning him to be careful with what he says, and it is also digging a hole for him.
If he complained about this matter, it would mean that Emperor Longqing was wrong, but how could Emperor Longqing be wrong?
Chen Yushi ignored him and hurriedly said to Emperor Longqing: "Your Majesty, I have nothing to say about the imperial mausoleum.
Your Majesty punishes me and I am willing to be punished.
It is another matter for me to complain about injustice."
Emperor Longqing hummed lightly, glanced at Jiang Zining with a half-smile, and asked Chen Yushi to continue.
Chen Yushi's back was straight, he knelt straight, straightened up, and said calmly: "At first, I thought that I was imprisoned because of my unfavorable supervision of the imperial mausoleum, and something happened to me.
It's nothing wrong with me."
It's easy to say, after all, something happened to the project under my hands, and I should be responsible due to circumstances.
But it was only later that I realized that something was wrong."
He raised his eyes, still kneeling upright, watching Chen Yushi purse his lips, and then said with some disdain and sarcasm: "I have a disciple, Du Ziling, who spent a lot of effort to come in to see me.
Tell me that the reason why I was imprisoned is probably not just for supervising the imperial mausoleum.
Because Du Ziling worked in the Hanlin Academy, she should not have been involved in this matter originally.
However, Du Ziling had an in-law who worked in the Ministry of Industry.
Knowing that he wanted to intercede on behalf of the minister, his in-laws hurriedly stopped him and said that he was the minister.
There is no benefit in speaking, I am afraid that I will offend Mr.
Jiang Songwen and Mr.
Jiang."

Jiang Zining snorted, stared at Chen Yushi coldly, and interrupted him: "Chen Yushi, you have to be careful with your words.
How can things get involved with Quanzi?
Quanzi is working for the Holy Lord.
I dare not say anything.
You have worked hard, but you have tried your best.
By saying this, do you mean that our father and son are setting you up behind your back?"
Chen Yushi ignored him and kowtowed to Emperor Longqing straightly: "Your Majesty, I dare not say this.
I can only say what I know."
When Emperor Longqing nodded, he followed up: "Du Ziling asked me how I offended the Jiang family and his son.
I really didn't know.
I thought about it for a long time in prison and couldn't figure it out.
Until later, I received According to the news, Du Ziling was imprisoned for interceding on behalf of the minister."
Emperor Longqing made an unclear noise from above and asked in a cold voice: "I am in prison for interceding for you."
He turned to look at Jiang Zining who was already sweating with a half-smile, and asked him: "Chief Assistant, do you know this?"
I don’t think I heard about it.”
The whole court knew that Du Ziling knelt at Zuoshunmen to plead for Chen Yushi, but Emperor Longqing really didn't know about it.
He was already groggy from illness, and when he finally woke up, he was in the harem watching the sixth prince and Concubine Shu chatting.
Perhaps Jiang Zining or Jiang Songwen had also reported it, but their words were unclear and incomplete.
But he really couldn't remember what decree he had given.
Jiang Zining felt that all the hairs on his body stood up, but he still tried his best to argue: "That Du Ziling, because she interceded for Chen Yushi, she had the intention of cursing the Holy Emperor, and was reported to the people on the ground."
He frowned, nervously raised his head and glanced at Emperor Longqing's face, and said hurriedly: "Then, and then he committed suicide in prison out of fear of crime."
No one here spoke, and no one continued what he said, which made the atmosphere extremely awkward.
Jiang Zining felt that his face was on fire and he was panicking in his heart.
He shook his head and continued through gritted teeth: "I don't know about this."
What he said was specious, and every word he said was intended to shirk responsibility and try to exonerate himself.
Emperor Long Qing looked at him, raised his eyebrows and coughed.
He pushed away the imperial doctor who was coming up in a hurry, and said coldly: "You have said so much, but did I really decree that Du Ziling should be imprisoned?"
Or are you the one who makes the decision for me?"
The room quickly became cold.
Jiang Zining swallowed a mouthful of saliva and felt that his throat began to hurt, and a fishy-sweet taste came to the tip of his tongue.
He knelt on the floor tiles and felt that his knees were very cold.
Emperor Longqing did not ask him to kneel down and get up this time.
He had been kneeling on the ground for so long and could no longer bear it.
After hearing what Emperor Longqing said, his whole body felt...
Everyone was confused and didn't even know how to respond.
Of course Emperor Longqing had never made this decision, and he knew it well
