King Yu was sweating profusely. These words were too cruel. It turned out that Liuli's every move had been under their surveillance for a long time, and he still moved forward stupidly. It seems that he was really confused by the Datonghui incident and became eager for quick success. He was not such a person before. He was cautious, planned step by step, and worked step by step. After many years of hard work, Huawei came to nothing in just a few months. How could he not be upset or sad.
He should never have blocked his escape route by saying that he had never seen Liuli before.
The Emperor's ribs ached with anger. He thought Marquis Jing'an meant Liuli for taking the blame, but he didn't expect to bring out Prince Yu.
Although King Yu's recent performance has disappointed him, he still doesn't want to take action against his son, and even tries his best to create opportunities for him, because once King Yu falls, the prince will stand out, the fourth child will not be effective at all, and the sixth child will not be able to do anything at all. He was young and not strong enough to compete with the prince. He was still in his prime, and the loss of power made him uneasy. He could not suppress the prince blindly, but could only borrow the help of King Yu.
But Prince Yu, this idiot, has been really taken advantage of by others. How can he still pretend not to know? Can he not give an explanation to the Marquis of Jing'an
It was very difficult for the prince to hold back his laughter. The little bit of resentment he felt before was now forgotten by the joke in front of him.
Third brother, third brother, are you so easy to offend as the Marquis of Jing'an? You absolutely should not, you should not attack the Jing'an House so quickly, forcing the always neutral Jing'an House to fall to his side. I really want to thank you, my dear third brother.
"You bastard, don't you know what kind of person Liuli is? Why are you messing with her affairs?" the emperor angrily scolded.
Xia Chunyu became angry as soon as he heard this. Even so, the emperor still protected King Yu. He did not say that King Yu had any evil intentions, but only blamed him for mingling with Liuli. This was of a completely different nature.
King Yu originally thought that he was going to be doomed, but now he seemed to see a glimmer of light, and he hurriedly said guiltily: "I am confused, the emperor's sister and I came to cry, saying that I suffered a lot of grievances in the Hou Mansion, and I want you to take my place." She vented her anger, and Erchen thought that the Queen Mother was gone now, and the emperor's sister was indeed pitiful. In addition, the emperor's sister did not tell the truth to him, and he thought that what the emperor's sister said was true. Then... Father, please punish me. Sons and ministers, they are all confused and should not just listen to them."
King Yu knelt down and kowtowed, feeling ashamed and embarrassed.
He couldn't pass the test if he didn't admit his mistakes. He could only tell half-truths and put all the blame on Liuli. This idiot deserved to die.
The emperor looked sternly at the royal censors and threatened, "Did Prince Yu tell you to do this?"
The three adults were trembling with fear, their legs softened, and they knelt down.
Master Shen said in panic: "Wei Chen believed the rumors and launched an investigation. He was definitely not instigated by others."
No matter how stupid he was, he understood what the emperor meant and wanted to let King Yu go. If they were to say that they had followed King Yu's instructions, they would really die without a burial place. If you don't admit it, the worst you can do is be blamed for your negligence, or you'll lose your official position, but it's better than losing your life!
All three of them strongly denied it.
The emperor was full of anger and the three censors said: "You are a bunch of mediocre and incompetent people. You are taking the salary from the imperial court and doing all kinds of frivolous things. Before the matter is investigated clearly, you come to me to ask for credit." , so that I was almost deceived by you, and I wronged the meritorious officials, you trash, what is the use of you? Come on, take off the flower feathers on your head, dismissal and investigation."
The three censors were sweating profusely, but they did not dare to express their dignity. They allowed others to take off their official hats and were carried out.
The emperor glared at Prince Yu again: "You are also guilty of an unforgivable crime. From today on, you will stay in Prince Yu's palace and reflect on it."
King Yu obeyed the order tremblingly and rolled away.
The prince sighed secretly, it seemed that his father was still worried about him! He had to keep his third brother to act opposite him.
After dealing with the censor and Prince Yu, the emperor's face became more cheerful and his tone was much calmer. He said to Xia Zhuofeng: "Xia Aiqing has good intentions. In order to save the royal face, she swallowed her anger. Alas... I feel guilty for Xia Aiqing."
Xia Zhuofeng hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has really offended this old minister. My loyal minister is so loyal. It turned out that the Emperor's heart and brains were completely ruined. There is no need to talk about grievances."
The emperor nodded with relief: "I love you for your loyalty, and I am very relieved."
Turning his eyes, he saw Chunli and others who were still kneeling on the ground. The emperor said: "Chunli has served in the Hanlin Academy for many years. I heard that his reputation is very good. It is time for him to be promoted to the first rank. Let's do it. I will make a decree to promote him tomorrow." You serve as a lecturer for the Hanlin Academy."
Chunli was pleasantly surprised. The Assistant Lecturer was promoted from the fifth rank to two ranks at once, which was a blessing in disguise.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness." Chunli kowtowed hurriedly to express his gratitude.
The corners of Xia Zhuofeng's eyes twitched. This sweet date is not good. What's there to be happy about
"Your Majesty, after all is said and done, Liuli is responsible for this matter. Ever since she entered the Jing'an Marquis' Mansion, the Marquis' Mansion has not been peaceful for a few days. If this continues, I'm afraid I will die soon. Such a daughter-in-law, veteran If you are not lucky, you can't afford it! Please ask the emperor to make the decision." Xia Zhuofeng took the opportunity to speak and sighed.
In the past, the Queen Mother used to protect her in every possible way, but now that the Queen Mother is gone, if the Emperor continues not to agree, then he will not leave now.
The emperor was silent for a long time, knowing very well that just giving Chunli an official promotion was not enough to appease him. As for Liuli, it was too much, and he couldn't even open his mouth to protect his shortcomings.
Asked: "What does Chunfeng mean?"
Xia Zhuofeng was about to burst into tears, and said sadly: "Chunfeng is living like a year now, and he is miserable!"
The emperor sighed for a while. His wife and his family were on the same page, and Chunfeng was caught in the middle. This must be an uncomfortable feeling. He said helplessly: "In that case, I have the final say. Let them reconcile. To the outside world, just say that they are a piece of glass." As a filial piety, my heart aches when the Queen Mother passes away. I am willing to fast and pray for the Queen Mother for three years and let her return to the palace!"
Xia Zhuofeng immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your thoughtfulness. The whole family is grateful to Your Majesty."
The emperor's face was so ugly. In the whole world, Zhao Liuli was the only one who wanted to be grateful for the princess being sent back. It’s really shameless, shameless!
The turmoil came to an end. Although he failed to take the opportunity to bring down King Yu, he finally got the holy order and sent Zhao Liuli, the god of plague, out of his house.
Everyone felt that the depression that had been suppressed for a long time was swept away, and even breathing became smoother.
After leaving Zichen Palace, Chunyu explained a few words to the prince. The prince smiled slightly and didn't mind anymore. Everyone said goodbye and went home together.
Chunyu patted his eldest brother on the shoulder: "Brother, I didn't lie to you, did this person stay?"
Chunli smiled coquettishly: "Second brother and younger brother and sister should look further ahead."
A few days ago, he and Mrs. Qiao were still debating whether to keep Cuiyan. Now it seems that the decision of the second sister and the second brother is the right one. If he really let Cuiyan go, he might not be able to pass the test today.
Everyone went home happily. When Youshi heard the news, she lingered on the hospital bed for a few days and suddenly became energetic. She ordered her servants to quickly clean up the third hospital and welcome the third young master back home.
Cuiyan was sent to the Zhuangzi outside, and she was allowed to leave after giving birth to her child.
Xia Chunfeng got the news while he was still in Dali Temple. He suddenly felt light-hearted. After being depressed and depressed for so long, he finally waited for the day when the clouds opened and the moon came out. He immediately took leave and returned to the palace and started to pack his things.
The emperor's imperial edict has not yet reached the seventh prince's residence, so Liuli still doesn't know about it. She is still waiting for the good news from Prince Yu. She heard that today the imperial censors are going to impeach the Marquis of Jing'an and try to hold Chunli accountable.
Huh, she's having a hard time, and you can't live in peace either. You're going to be in a state of turmoil.
"Princess, princess, the third young master is back and packing his things." The maid came in to report in a panic.
Liuli was stunned, packing her things? What is Chunfeng doing? Want to leave this home? He thinks beautifully.
Liuli immediately went to Chunfeng's room.
I saw people coming in and out, taking out boxes of books and clothes.
Liuli was furious: "Stop it, who allowed you to move?"
The servants didn't dare to move. Chunfeng walked out of the house and waved to the servants, indicating that they should continue moving.
Liuli became angry and said angrily: "Xia Chunfeng, what are you doing?"
Xia Chunfeng didn't take it seriously and said calmly: "What are you doing? Didn't you see it?"
"What do you mean? Do you want to move back to the Hou Mansion? Okay, let's move there together." Zhao Liuli threatened, if you go back, I will go back as well. If we go back and continue making trouble, I'll see what you do.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Xia Chunfeng's lips: "You move with me? Do you think you are still the daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Jing'an?"
Liuli also sneered: "You and I are personally engaged by the Queen Mother and the Emperor, and you are the husband of me, Zhao Liuli. The husband and wife follow each other, so naturally I will go wherever you go."
Xia Chunfeng really wanted to laugh. Until now, she still regarded herself as the third young mistress of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion. After she had done such evil things, she actually had the nerve to enter the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion. It was really ridiculous.
Seeing his constant laughter, Liuli couldn't help but get angry: "Why are you laughing? Xia Chunfeng, I will stick to you for the rest of your life. If I don't make you happy, you won't be able to feel comfortable. Your entire Jing'an Marquis Mansion will not be able to live in peace. I am You see, I will risk my life and no one will have an easy time."
Xia Chunfeng finally stopped laughing and looked at Liuli as if she were laughing. This woman who he once loved deeply now only had disgust, incomparable disgust.
"Zhao Liuli, I have to thank you. Thank you for doing such a great job. Otherwise, how could the emperor agree to your reconciliation with Li? You don't know it yet, but the emperor has already made it clear that he and I will reconcile and that you return to the palace to replace Li." The Queen Mother observes filial piety. The Queen Mother loves you so much, so you should observe filial piety for the Queen Mother. Well... I think the imperial edict will arrive soon." Xia Chunfeng said slowly.
Liuli felt like thunder exploded in her mind. She looked at Xia Chunfeng in disbelief. Did the emperor decree a divorce? Impossible, this is impossible...
