Chapter 0038 – Combined Forces (2 / 2)

Only to hear a “bang” sound, the medicine basket in the hands of the fragrant capsule fell to the ground.

“How could this be, our young master still has to take this year’s fall exams!” Chang Rong tugged at Imperial Doctor Xu’s robe in panic: “He still has to become an official! Doctor Xu, please think of another way! I am willing to work as a cow or a horse for you to repay your favor!”

Dr. Xu smiled bitterly, “Little brother, if there is a way, why would I want you to be a cow or a horse? It’s just that Heaven’s orders are hard to disobey–“

Fragrant Capsule looked at Imperial Doctor Xu incredulously and clenched her lower lip.

She couldn’t believe it, couldn’t believe that the second youngest master, who was so nice, could end up like this-

“My bitter Erlang ah!” Chen Zhirou finally seized a gap and cried out in pain, not caring about her manners as she knelt and marched to the side, tightly grasping King Su’s robe, “Your Highness, Erlang is so diligent and is the most promising child of our Chen family! You must do right by our Erlang!”

In the corner where no one cared, Wang Xuan looked at Chen Zhirou expressionlessly, tightly composing his fists as if he was desperately trying to endure something.

On the side, Chang Rong couldn’t help but redden his eyes when he thought of the heartache of his son’s hard study over the years.

Ye Yuanhong’s face was pale as he knelt on the ground, and the boy beside him stiff-lipped, “Our young master didn’t do it on purpose, and he was also almost victimized by that beast! Everything was blamed on that beast’s viciousness to harm people!”

Chang Rong sniffed and said viciously, “If it wasn’t for your young master’s insistence on opening the cage to watch the leopard, how could a leopard hurt anyone!”

He turned to Ye Yuanhong again and questioned word for word: ”Master Shizi! Our young master is so gentle that he can’t even step on an ant. He has been studying hard for so many years and has never heard anything outside the window, I don’t know what has offended you to make you so tolerant of him that you want to kill him!”

“It’s been said that our World Master was unintentionally negligent, why are you so unreasonable-“

The scene was again chaotic as the two parties got into another war of words.

“Stop arguing!” King Su yelled, his head aching as he handed down the judgment, “Brother Hong is the one who started this, today he is punished to kneel in the ancestral hall, no one is allowed to give him food or drink! Everything will be sentenced after the Chen family’s Erlang’s health is stabilized!”

After all, it’s just a kneeling shrine!

“Your Highness, may–“

Chen Zhirou somewhat unwillingly got up, behind her Jin mother quietly tugged on her sleeve, Chen Zhirou hastily changed her words, “Your Highness, just now the concubine was in a hurry, now think carefully, this matter is afraid that there is something fishy.”

Both King Su and the High Chamberlain looked at her in surprise, signaling her to continue.

“Although he loves to fool around a bit, he has never done anything so excessive. Not to mention that the Chen family’s second son will soon be the son-in-law of the Wang family, but even if he is a scholar in his own right – the dynasty has always been lenient to the scholars, the son has never taken the scholars to make fun of the same.”

Chen Zhirou paused, once again kneeling on the ground: “Therefore, I suspect that there are treacherous villains around Master Shizi to stir up trouble! Please ask Your Majesty to torture the servants around Master Shizi, and then conduct a search of their residence to see what dirty thoughts they are hiding!”

In the front, Ye Yuanhong was still puzzled as to why Chen Zhirou would be so kind as to speak for him. But it was only when he heard the words that followed that his face abruptly changed color!

“No, no, Father–“

King Su ignored Ye Yuanhong.

To King Su, rather than believing that his son, who he had favored for many years, had committed such a great mistake, he naturally preferred to believe that his son had been abetted by a treacherous villain.

“Good! Then, as you said, make a thorough investigation inside and out!”
