Although King Chen tried her best to persuade Jiu Zhu, she still failed to stop her. She dragged King Chen, who persuaded her, to the side of Yun Yanze, who was lying on the ground, and kicked him again.
Hearing Yun Yanze scream in agony, the gourd rolled on the ground twice, screaming again and again.
What graceful demeanor, elegant demeanor, all vanished into nothing.
"When you were gossiped, His Highness not only helped you to talk, but also ordered not to let others spread the word. What about you, the dignified royal blood, His Royal Highness, the high-ranking prince, actually seduced the palace maid and asked her to help you assassinate my highness?!" The anger finally burst out unbearably: "I tell you, Yun Yanze, you are lucky today, there is nothing wrong with my highness, if something happens to him, I will definitely kill you."
"Cough." Emperor Longfeng reacted, turning his head to wink at Liu Zhongbao, who was stunned. Liu Zhongbao came back to his senses, and quickly turned around to let the palace people who were serving outside the hall retreat a little bit, this was not something they could hear.
Yun Yanze was smashed with blood all over his mouth, he listened to Jiuzhu's scolding and sat up with all his strength: "Princess Chen is so powerful, you are so angry for Yun Duqing today, he is empathizing with Yun Duqing. When you stop loving, maybe you will regret helping him today."
"Me!" After hearing this, King Chen also wanted to step forward and kick.
"His Royal Highness's feet are precious, let me come." Jiuzhu pushed King Chen away and kicked Yun Yanze's chest. Yun Yanze fell to the ground and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Liu Zhongbao shrank his neck, this kick... I'm afraid it was an internal injury.
The usual princess Chen, such a kind little girl, who could do such a thing today must be maddened.
"Even if my Royal Highness empathizes, I will never regret what I did today." Jiuzhu always smiled, but now she doesn't smile anymore, her eyes are extremely sharp. Emperor Longfeng looked at such a daughter-in-law and thought of the three brothers of the Ming family back then.
They were also like that back then, standing on the courthouse and scolding the traitor, with firm eyes and straight backs, like green hills and green pine trees.
"I wouldn't do such a thing." King Chen leaned into Jiuzhu's ear and whispered, "If I am in love, then you will kick me."
Liu Zhongbao glanced at the miserable state of the fourth prince and turned his head silently. The oath made by the fifth prince was quite cruel.
"Jiuzhu." Emperor Longfeng was worried that his daughter-in-law would be charged with killing the prince by kicking her like this again, so he said, "Sit and drink tea first."
"Thank you, father-in-law, daughter-in-law is not tired." Jiuzhu smiled obediently to Emperor Longfeng: "If you still want to beat your child, daughter-in-law is willing to share your worries for you."
"I am very moved by your filial piety." Emperor Longfeng smiled dryly: "Your fourth brother has rough skin and thick flesh, I am afraid you will hurt your foot."
"Many thanks to the royal father for reminding me that my daughter-in-law feels a pain in her feet." Jiuzhu nodded: "I was only concerned about sharing my father's worries, but I didn't notice this."
"Come here, sit down, and I'll rub it for you." King Chen quickly helped Jiuzhu to sit on the chair next to her, and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, wait for what the royal father has to say."
"Hmph." Jiuzhu took a sip of tea: "If you don't beat him, it will be hard to solve the hatred in your heart."
Even your own brothers will be killed, you beast!
"Yun Yanze, do you know what's wrong?" Emperor Longfeng looked at the fourth son who was lying on the ground and described the embarrassment, and the emotions in his eyes were obscure.
"As a prince, if I want to win the throne, what's wrong with me?" Yun Yanze stood up staggeringly, his mouth was full of blood and his long hair was messy, like a ghost: "Father, you are also stepping on other uncles. of blood, did you ascend to the throne?"
The emotion in Emperor Longfeng's eyes gradually dissipated, and finally turned into an indifferent calm. He looked at the son, did not speak, and did not stop him from speaking.
"I'm older than Yun Duqing, but you secretly chose Miss Sun as his concubine, have you ever thought about it for me?" Yun Yanze sneered: "Since you don't want to give it to me, then I'll go by myself. It's just that I was unlucky, and I didn't expect that Yun Duqing would have a helper. If it wasn't for Ming Jiuzhu's appearance, which disrupted all my plans, he would have died at the Royal Racecourse."
"Crack." Jiuzhu put the tea cup on the table, and the tea cup was broken.
She rolled up her sleeves and stood up expressionlessly.
"Little Pig..."
"Don't stop me now." Jiuzhu walked up to Yun Yanze, jumped up and punched him in front of the door, Yun Yanze fell down in response.
She picked up Yun Yanze's shirt, her mouth was taut, and she punched his face to the point of flesh. The tall Yun Yanze was in her hands, like a little chicken who couldn't struggle.
"Little pig, little pig, Ming little pig." King Chen ran to Jiuzhu's side in three or two steps, and with all his strength, he pulled away the hand that was holding Yun Yanze's clothes, and hugged her into his arms. He stroked her back again and again: "I'm fine, don't be angry, don't be angry. Don't be afraid, be good."
Under the comfort of King Chen, her back was stiff and gradually relaxed. Jiu Zhu reached out and hugged King Chen's waist, her voice trembling a little: "His Royal Highness..."
"What are you doing?" Emperor Longfeng glared at Liu Zhongbao: "Don't you fetch water to wash the princess's hands?"
"Yes... yes!" Liu Zhongbao came back to his senses, and after walking out of the hall, he was blown by the night wind, and his mind gradually became clear.
What did Princess Chen learn in the past few years living in the folk are completely different from the weak Ming family.
No, the boss of the Ming family, Ming Jinghai, is also a ruthless man who can slash gangsters with his sword.
The ancestors of the Ming family also had a general. In the past, they only thought it was the Ming family who made up and bragging on the genealogy. Now it seems that it may be true.
Emperor Longfeng looked at the fourth son who was twitching on the ground, then looked at the fifth son and fifth daughter-in-law who were hugging each other, and sighed: "When you were born, I treated you the same way."
Yun Yanze reluctantly opened his eyes, he looked at Ming Jiuzhu who was hugging Yun Duqing, cracked his mouth and smiled.
How ridiculous, the same
King Chen held Jiuzhu's head in his arms, preventing her from seeing Yun Yanze's current expression.
"Fifth brother, you won." Yun Yanze said tremblingly, "But it's not you who won me, but because you have a mother who is favored by the emperor and a concubine who helps you disrupt the situation."
"Are you jealous of me?" King Chen raised his eyebrows and smiled, no one knew better than him what kind of expression could make his brothers the most angry: "But in your life, whether you hate or be jealous, you just can't have it. Are you angry with these?"
Yun Yanze glared at him angrily and spat out a mouthful of blood again.
"The fourth prince, Yun Yanze, murdered siblings, was unfilial and unrighteous, and I am heartbroken. From today onwards, his status as a descendant of the Yun family will be abolished, he will be demoted to a commoner, and he will be imprisoned in the ancestral mansion, and he will not be able to get out for the rest of his life."
"Royal father." Jiuzhu still remembered Sun Caiyao lying in the Mingyue Palace, let go of King Chen's waist, walked to the center of the hall and knelt down: "Royal father, the fourth prince and concubine know nothing about what the fourth brother did, I beg the royal father For the sake of the Sun family being loyal and good for generations and benefiting countless people, I forgive Miss Sun for her innocence."
"I have no way to teach my son, and I am ashamed of the Sun family. Today, I will allow the Sun family to reconcile with Yun Yanze, and I will bestow the lord of the township with a hundred taels of gold. In the future, the marriage will be decided by myself." Emperor Longfeng is indeed a benevolent monarch. When it came to Jiuzhu, she made a second will without hesitation.
"Thank you for the emperor, long live the emperor." Jiuzhu put her hands on her forehead and bowed to Emperor Longfeng.
"I might as well kill me, why should I pretend to keep my life?!" Yun Yanze knew the Heavenly Prison in the Zongren Mansion, where all the imperial family members who committed serious crimes were imprisoned there.
If you can't get it for life, how is that different from death
"Although you are not filial, I can't be merciful." Emperor Longfeng walked down the steps and came to Yun Yanze's side step by step: "Fourth, remember what I taught you when you were eight years old?"
eight years old
Yun Yanze's eight-year-old memory was full of ridicule by the guards who guarded the palace, as well as the wildly growing weeds in the yard.
"Choose what's good and follow it, and change what's bad." Emperor Longfeng sighed, "But you don't even know what's wrong with you, how can you correct it?"
"In the eyes of the royal father, I am naturally wrong every step of the way, and everything is wrong." Yun Yanze laughed so hard that he burst into tears: "Aren't you going to escort me to the ancestral mansion, why do you need to say more."
Emperor Longfeng closed his eyes: "Come here, escort the fourth prince to the Heavenly Prison of Zongrenfu."
The Zongren Mansion is in charge of royal affairs, and the scenery is high, but the Heavenly Prison of the Zongren Mansion is dark and lonely.
Those who are imprisoned here will not be tortured, nor will they be deliberately starved.
But no one spoke to them, no one went to see them.
They are forgotten royals, day after day recalling their past glory and wealth, until the day of their death.
"His Royal Highness Fourth Prince." Across the prison door, Liu Zhongbao bowed and bowed: "This is the last time this old slave calls you that."
He looked at Yun Yanze, who was lying on the bed, not knowing whether he was in a coma or ignoring him, and said with a smile, "It's not that Your Majesty has no plans for your marriage. You are careful, sensitive and suspicious. Your Majesty originally wanted to find a cheerful personality for you. If the girl from the Sun family was engaged to His Royal Highness King Chen at the beginning, maybe the one who engaged you later would be the girl of the Ming family.”
Yun Yanze, who was lying still, opened his eyes.
"But your mother-in-law and the foreign family sent someone to kill the girl from the Ming family. If she knows the truth, even if you are engaged, it will not have a good ending." Liu Zhongbao seemed to think that these words were not enough to stimulate Yun Yanze, and continued: "Maybe this is what God meant to do."
Was the little girl who was killed back then Ming Jiuzhu
No wonder the Ming family would press on the Zheng family step by step, not showing any face at the New Year's Eve banquet.
He and Ming Jiuzhu
Yun Yanze felt as if he had heard a lot of jokes today. He struggled to sit up and shouted in a hoarse voice, "You are lying to me."
"His Royal Highness, the old slave's words are true." Liu Zhongbao smiled: "You have fallen to this point, why should the old slave lie to you?"
Yun Yanze murmured: "Impossible, impossible..."
If Ming Jiuzhu was engaged to him, she would not go to the royal racecourse with Yun Duqing, and everything after that would be impossible.
Yun Duqing will die at the Royal Racecourse!
Liu Zhongbao gave a big gift: "Qin Tianjian said that the fifteenth day will be a good day for the canonization of the crown prince. At that time, the whole world will celebrate, please wait for the extra meal given to you by the ancestral mansion. Old slave, farewell. From now on, please take care of yourself. ,take care."
He flicked the whisk and turned to leave.
Yun Yanze's unwilling roar came from behind, and Liu Zhongbao laughed mockingly.
A long, long time ago, he could still remember how Concubine Zheng was aloof when she kicked him and scolded him as a neutered dog and a cheap slave.
Such a cheap slave, he knows what words best can make the destitute masters regret and sad, and can't let go until they die.
"Eunuch Liu, on the Emperor's side, what other orders are there?" The guard of the Zongren Mansion came over with a pleasing smile.
Liu Zhongbao knew in his heart that he was asking him if there was any possibility for the Fourth Prince to recover.
"The sage has a decree to demote the fourth prince as a commoner, to be removed from the genealogy, and not to leave the clan's palace for life."
"Understood, thank you father-in-law for letting me know."
That being the case, there is no need for special treatment.
