Chapter 257 Emperor’s Heart

Chiang Xuancheng, the General of Valiant Cavalry, had a stern look.0

"Second young miss Yun, what else do you have to say in your defense? His Highness Li Prince has proven that this woman is Miss Yun's servant. Your words are self-defeating, and our dog has pointed you out. That's why you are the person that poisoned my father."

After Chiang Xuancheng said that, he continued, "Men, arrest the second young miss of the Yun family."

Immediately, some soldiers appeared and were ready to take Yun Qianxue down.

Xiao Tianyi's face darkened and he was in disbelief. Xiao Jiuyuan only said one thing and the Chiang family did not dare to make a move on Yun Qianyu. However, even after saying so much, Xiao Tianyi still couldn't protect Yun Qianxue.

"Chiang Xuancheng, if you dare to arrest her, I will go to the palace to report this to the emperor. How dare you arrest someone without substantial evidence?"

Chiang Xuancheng listened to Xiao Tianyi's words and glared at him.

"No substantial evidence? The second young miss Yun was singled out by our dog. Later she accused her sister's servant as the assassin but was also proven untrue. Is that not enough evidence? If Your Highness wants to bring this to the royal courts, then I will see you there."

Chiang Xuancheng's words made Xiao Tianyi even more furious.

Xiao Tianyi glared at Chiang Xuancheng angrily but Chiang Xuancheng ignored him and waved his hand to signal his men.

Displeased with what was happening, Liu Shi stood in front of her daughter and screamed, "I'd like to see who dares to take my daughter away. My daughter is part of the Yun family. You people dare to arrest my daughter without sufficient evidence? Is there no law in this land anymore? Do you people still have any regard for the law of the Emperor? Or could it be that the Chiang family think that they are above the law and even more powerful than the Emperor?"

Liu Shi's words annoyed the Empress and the Chiang family.

If the Emperor heard these words, he would surely become wary of the Chiang family.

The Chiang family was great and powerful, but at the same time, they also feared the Emperor. Although the Emperor respected them at the moment, no one knew what would happen in the future.

With a darkened face, the Empress glared at Liu Shi and said coldly, "Madam Yun, you dare to spit out slander. Do you think this Empress won't deal with you?"

Seeing that the Empress and Madam Yun were going at each other, the other guests in the hall became flustered.

Since the Huai Prince, Xiao Tianyao, had a good relationship with the Yun family, he couldn't just stand there and say nothing.

He thus came out and quickly intervened, "Your Highness the Empress, General Chiang, I think there's a better way to resolve this. How about a compromise?"

After hearing this, the Empress asked, "What is the Huai Prince suggesting?"

After taking a glance at Yun Qianxue, Xiao Tianyao said to the Empress, "The Chiang family can keep my cousin for the time being, but no punishment shall be dealt. At present, curing the Lord Protector is the most important thing. As for the other things, we can talk about it later."

After Xiao Tianyao said that, the crown prince also came out and said, "This Prince also thinks that this method is feasible."

Fighting like this in the open was not good for either the Yun family or the Chiang family.

If they ultimately brought this matter to the imperial courts, the Emperor may use the Yun family as an excuse to suppress the Chiang family.

Since ancient times, the emperor's heart had been unpredictable.

After the crown prince agreed to the method, Empress Chiang and General Chiang also agreed to it.
