"Praise to kill?"

When Gu Tingye came back to his senses, he found that Zhou Chen had already left, with a gloomy expression on his face.

He didn't completely believe Zhou Chen's words, but he had decided that he needed to take a closer look at his stepmother.

At the first court meeting after the Lantern Festival, a major incident occurred in the court that shocked the court.

Concubine Rong went to the imperial court in person to complain, accusing King Yong of sending someone to kidnap her sister Rong Feiyan. There were witnesses, and she asked the officials to make the decision for her sister.

When the officials heard about this, they were also very shocked. Rong Feiyan was a noble daughter, and the nature of kidnapping a noble daughter in Bianjing City was extremely bad.

He immediately called King Yong over and confronted him face to face.

King Yong had obviously been prepared for it. He very calmly defended himself in front of the officials, saying that he was wronged. Someone must have wanted to frame him and implicitly targeted King Yan.

Chai pointed at King Yan and said that King Yan had framed him.

Such a result naturally did not satisfy the official, but he was also suspicious in his heart. No one believed it completely, but no one did not believe it.

Finally, he called Zhou Chen, who had rescued Rong Feiyan, to the imperial court and asked him personally.

Faced with the official's inquiry, Zhou Chen naturally prepared his plan a long time ago and told him that he met him by chance and happened to save the person. After handing the person over to the Rong family, he didn't know the rest.

The officials could not make a decision. Faced with Concubine Rong's cries and King Yong's sophistry, even King Yan joined in and began to criticize King Yong.

This gave the officials a headache.

King Yong and King Yan, who were already at odds with each other because of the crown prince, now became more fierce in their fight, even involving Concubine Rong and the Rong Mansion.

Although the official didn't know the truth, what he knew was that King Yong must not be dealt with at this time, otherwise it would only benefit King Yan.

In fact, for the position of crown prince, his heart had gradually turned towards King Yong, because he was very dissatisfied with King Yan's wanton wooing of courtiers.

But after this incident, the balance in his heart began to shift again. Although he did not favor King Yan, he no longer valued King Yong as much as before.

Once the matter of Rong Feiyan's kidnapping was involved with the position of crown prince, the truth would naturally become less important, and the officials were prepared to play it off.
