Thinking that Qian Jiujiu was indeed having a hard time carrying a child, Mu Yexiao immediately started to coax Qian Jiujiu: "Okay, it's your husband's fault, Jiuer, don't be angry."
Qian Jiujiu looked at Mu Yexiao's expression. This man really did not stop pampering her. She snorted, "Since you are so sincere, I won't care about it."
Although Qian Jiujiu herself didn't know what she was worrying about, the carriage soon arrived at the palace gate, and the palace had already prepared the sedan chair.
Qian Jiujiu, with her big belly, naturally sat on the sedan chair, while Mu Yexiao was followed by a group of people. His guards led a group of men in black and also came to the Emperor's Qiankun Palace.
After Mu Yexiao helped Qian Jiujiu get off the sedan chair, he saw the Third Prince and Duke Zheng also standing there. It seemed like they had been here for so long but hadn't even been able to enter the Qiankun Hall.
It was really pitiful. Duke Zheng looked at Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu and still greeted them politely: "Lord Xiao and Princess Xiao also want to see the emperor?"
After asking, I saw that Mu Yexiao was followed by such a large group of people. Naturally, they also had something to ask the emperor. The eunuch guarding the gate of Qiankun Palace saw Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu coming.
Naturally, he ran in immediately, and soon the eunuch beside the emperor came out: "Greetings to Prince Xiao, Princess Xiao, the Third Prince, Duke Zheng, the Emperor invites you in."
A strong sense of envy, jealousy and hatred flashed in Mu Yesheng's eyes. Why should he have to wait for a long time when he was also the son of his father, but as soon as Mu Yexiao came
He could go in directly, and he probably let him in with him for Mu Yexiao's sake. Thinking of this, how could he not hate him
But no matter how much he hated it, he had to follow Mu Yexiao, Qian Jiujiu and others in. When he arrived at the Qiankun Palace, he saw the emperor sitting high on the dragon couch.
Looking at the people in front of him, there was a flash of surprise in his eyes: "Why are you here together?"
Several people saluted the emperor first, and then Duke Zheng started to yell, not giving the Third Prince any face: "Your Majesty, you have to make the decision for this old minister."
"The Third Prince took advantage of my daughter in the palace and made her his concubine. That would have been fine, but now, my daughter has only been in his house for less than a month and she has died."
"You let me, an old man, send off the young, Your Majesty, please make the decision for me, an old minister..."
He kept shouting that he would make the decision for the old minister, and the emperor's ears were about to explode. He couldn't help but look at the third prince with disgust and said, "What's wrong with you?"
"As for Qian Yuge, that's not necessary to say. That was a marriage bestowed upon you by the Empress Dowager. There's nothing you can do about it. But what about Zheng Fu? She and you are in love. What's wrong with you?"
"This good person just died in your house?"
The Third Prince gritted his teeth tightly. His father was so cruel that he didn't even listen to his explanation or let him speak. He just directly accused him of the crime.
Without saying anything, he raised his head and looked at the emperor: "Father, if it was my sixth brother who was in the same situation as me today, would you also scold him directly?"
When the emperor heard this, he immediately threw a cup in anger and smashed it directly on Meimu Yesheng's head: "Shut up, you rebellious son."
"You are still a brother, but you curse your brother as soon as you open your mouth. Do you still have any brotherly love?"
The Third Prince Mu Yesheng's face looked bleak. It turned out that in the Emperor's heart, even saying a bad word about Mu Yexiao was a curse. Hahahaha, Mu Yesheng was even more furious at this time.
Looking at the emperor, "Father, just tell me straight, how do you want to punish me? Zheng Fu did die in my son's house, and I have nothing to say. If you let Duke Zheng beat me up, I also have nothing to say."
Duke Zheng was embarrassed at this time, because he didn't want to beat the third prince. He just wanted to use this incident to seek justice for his daughter.
The more important thing is to let the emperor see that he and the third prince are not on the same side. In the current situation, even a fool can see clearly that there will be a fight for the throne in the future.
The Third Prince has no external support except the Liu family behind Concubine Xiang. Only a fool would choose the Third Prince.
At this time, the emperor also looked at Duke Zheng and asked, "What kind of justice do you want, Duke Zheng?"
Duke Zheng felt a little uneasy when he heard the emperor's angry voice. "Well, Your Majesty, as long as you get the Third Prince to agree, I can bury my daughter with the rites of the Third Prince's consort."
When the emperor heard this request, he just frowned. This meant that he was asked to make the dead Zheng Futai the third prince's consort, and looking at the appearance of Duke Zheng.
It's still just a nominal one, and the Duke Zheng's Mansion will not give any help to the Third Prince in the future, but it has suppressed the Third Prince. I'm afraid that no big family will be willing to marry their daughter to Mu Yesheng in the future.
Not to mention that Qian Yuge, who lost her virginity at the beginning, almost became the Third Prince's consort, but this dead woman was named the Third Prince's consort. That is to say, when the Third Prince marries in the future, it will not be his original wife.
This is a good idea. Looking at Duke Zheng, the emperor snorted, "Okay, let's do it this way. Someone draft an imperial edict to confer the title of the Third Prince's Consort on the deceased Zheng Fu, and bury her according to the etiquette of the Third Prince's Consort."
Mu Yesheng suddenly looked up at the emperor and laughed out loud in anger. How much must his father and roommate hate him that he spared no effort to attack him.
The emperor did not look at Mu Yesheng, but finished his words: "Okay, there is nothing else to do now, just go out."
The emperor's expression changed immediately as he said this. He looked at Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu happily and said, "Xiao'er, Jiu'er, why are you here? Is there anything wrong?"
This was not an illusion, but a fact. When the emperor spoke to these two people, his voice became softer. Mu Yesheng, who was watching over there, felt very sad.
He quickly turned around and left the Qiankun Hall, but Duke Zheng followed him closely behind: "Wait a moment, Third Prince. I need to discuss with you the burial of the Third Prince's wife."
Mu Yesheng turned around and looked at Duke Zheng: "I wonder if Duke Zheng has ever heard a saying? Don't despise the poor young people."
Duke Zheng snorted coldly, "You are poor young man? You? Do you know why the emperor treats you like this? I think you also want to get the emperor's attention, right?"
Mu Yesheng snorted coldly and turned his head, ignoring Duke Zheng.
Duke Zheng laughed out loud: "How come you hit the nail on the head? It's a pity that your background and your ambitions have doomed you to never receive the emperor's love in this life."
Seeing Mu Yesheng's unconvinced look, Duke Zheng's face was full of contempt: "A family like yours is nothing more than a warrior family, yet you still want to share the world with the emperor."
"Bah, you guys don't deserve it."
Mu Yesheng's face looked very ugly, but he couldn't say a word to refute what Duke Zheng said. Yes, his mother was a member of the Liu family.
It was his mother who gave birth to him due to a trick, but there was not a day that went by that his father didn't think about him dying without a burial place.
Duke Zheng looked at the Third Prince in shock and said, "Why don't you believe it? Actually, you think your father doesn't love you and is partial to you, right? But your father is the Emperor, so this is the right thing to do."
"You are not tolerated by this country. Do you think the Liu family and your mother are sincere to you? Hahaha, you are so naive!"
"Well, I don't want to waste my time talking to you. You should hurry back to the palace and arrange the funeral for the Third Prince's wife."
Duke Zheng emphasized the words "Third Prince's Consort" especially heavily, then turned and left. Frankly speaking, if it wasn't for a show for the Emperor, he wouldn't care about a daughter's life or death!
Since she was already a married daughter, he naturally cared even less about her. Now that his goal had been achieved, Duke Zheng staggered back home.
As for Mu Yesheng, after the imperial edict was issued, it caused a sensation in almost the entire Kyoto. A dead person actually took the position of the third prince's consort, who was Mu Yesheng's original wife.
When Xiangpin in the palace heard the news, she was so angry that she went straight to the emperor. At that time, the emperor was still angry.
Because I heard from Mu Yexiao that they were assassinated, but fortunately the killers were found, and Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu were both safe.
"Princess Xiao, I think you should stay in the palace and take good care of your pregnancy. This murderer must be severely punished. Someone, come and interrogate him. We must find out who is behind this."
Qian Jiujiu glanced at Mu Yexiao and immediately smiled: "Father, I didn't go out, so I'm fine."
The emperor glanced at Qian Jiujiu, then at Mu Yexiao. Mu Yexiao laughed and said, "Those who went out were all pretending to be us. This is to lure the snake out of its hole."
Upon hearing this, the emperor understood: "Does that mean you all know the person behind this? Who is it?"
Mu Yexiao snorted coldly: "Who else but Wang Rong hates Jiu'er so much? I have even investigated the cause of Zheng Fu's death."
When the emperor heard this, he was immediately furious: "This vicious woman, if I had known earlier, I should have beheaded her as well."
Mu Yexiao immediately reminded him, "It's not too late now. I was thinking that if I stop taking Wang Rong, I won't bother with her for the sake of the Wang family."
"But who knew that this woman would not be a quiet one and actually has a certain amount of power in Kyoto! This time I will root her out completely."
The emperor frowned and said, "There's no guarantee that the power behind her might not be the Wang family's backup in Kyoto. You must be careful."
This means that he agrees with Mu Yexiao's words. Mu Yexiao nodded and said, "I understand. I will eliminate these people and then send the evidence to me. But it's best to send someone to catch Wang Rong now."
