Ever since the last time Murong Xi came back from Linfeng Kingdom, she had been disappointed with her father. Although it had been so long, Murong Xi still felt uncomfortable. When Feng Mingye said that her father had written to her several times,
After writing the letter, she still felt aggrieved for her uncle.
For Murong Xi, the relationship with the emperor's uncle and aunt was naturally deeper. After all, the emperor's uncle and aunt raised her as her own daughter. When Feng Mingye came to her door, she knew how much the emperor's uncle was.
Reluctant to give up.
It's just that the emperor's uncle has no way to make her recognize her ancestor and return to the clan, which can be regarded as fulfilling the mother's wish.
However, she was disappointed that her father did not believe her uncle at all and wanted to detain him in the capital. In the end, she found the right opportunity and arranged for someone to send his uncle and aunt back to the villa.
It was Feng Mingye who found him in the first place. No one else knew the location of the villa. Even if his father wanted to find his uncle, it would not be an easy task.
What's more, it would be strange for Murong Xi not to be angry that his father actually doubted himself because of a woman.
Feng Mingye knew what Murong Xi was thinking. She was just deliberately snubbing Emperor Linfeng. After all, he was Xi'er's biological father. How could the father and daughter have an overnight feud?
Seeing that Murong Xi didn't say anything, Feng Mingye placed the fruit tea in front of Murong Xi and said, "Try the fruit tea here. The teahouse has recently launched a new one according to your taste. The guests like it very much."
Murong Xi picked up the cup and took a sip. It tasted really good, but she drank it. Sugar was added to the fruit tea.
So he said: "Tell the shopkeeper that it would be better to replace the sugar in the fruit tea with honey. Although the cost is high, the taste will be better."
"I've never seen you say it's too sweet before. It turns out the shopkeeper asked someone to add sugar," Feng Mingye said.
"Actually, there are very few things added to the fruit tea that Rushi and the others made for me." Murong Xi said.
"I'll tell you to go down now, please wait for me a moment." Feng Mingye said.
Feng Mingye hurried down to tell the shopkeeper the secret of the fruit tea, otherwise someone would always complain that the fruit tea was too sweet.
After Feng Mingye finished explaining, she went upstairs again. Murong Xi suddenly remembered what to do with the Jin family and the Liu family, and asked, "How will my father deal with the Jin family and the Liu family?"
"The purpose of the two families colluding with Concubine Jing is self-evident. They were just plotted by Concubine Jing. When they were in the palace, my father remained calm and did not deal with them. Maybe the imperial edict will be announced early tomorrow morning."
Feng Mingye said.
"What should the Jin family girl do?" Murong Xi asked.
"Tomorrow I will propose to my father to reward the Jin family's legitimate daughter. I believe that the Jin family's legitimate daughter knows what to do. The Jin family's family affairs have nothing to do with us." Feng Mingye said.
"Father will not punish them severely. I hope they can behave themselves well," Murong Xi said.
"They should have received the news. Officers and soldiers have also surrounded the Jin family and the Liu family." Feng Mingye said.
Murong Xi was a little surprised and asked, "Is Father worried that they will run away?"
"Actually, they did not participate in Concubine Jing's conspiracy. Although they have already investigated it, my father still wanted to scare them. He deliberately arranged for officers and soldiers to guard the gate of the mansion. Now the Jin and Liu families are probably frightened.
"Feng Mingye said.
"They deserve it. Who made them have thoughts they shouldn't have?" Murong Xi said.
"Even if my father forces me to marry them, I will not agree. At worst, I will take you away and fly away. I will not bring so many women back home." Feng Mingye said.
Murong Xi smiled, feeling a little tired, and said, "Let's go back, it's getting late, I'm a little tired."
"I wasted a lot of time in the palace today. Even though I didn't wander around for long, I still feel a little tired, so let's go back." Feng Mingye said.
After Feng Mingye and Murong Xi left the teahouse, they got on the carriage and quickly returned to Hades' Mansion.
The Hades Mansion had already been packed up, and they were just waiting for their master to come back. After Murong Xi took a bath, he rested early.
Early the next morning, Feng Mingye went to the morning court. In the morning court, the ministers did not dare to say anything because they discovered that
Concubine Jing's father and General Xia did not come. It turns out that the rumors last night were true. Moreover, two adults, Jin and Liu, were missing.
About a quarter of an hour later, the guards brought Jin Shilang and Liu Yushi up. The two men knelt on the ground tremblingly and said, "See your Majesty."
"My dear friends, do you have anything to tell me?" Emperor Nanzhao said with a smile.
"Weichen, Weichen knows that he was wrong, please forgive me for once." Jin Shilang said quickly.
This is the main hall. If he dares to talk nonsense, he may be dragged out and beheaded at any time if he says a wrong word.
No matter what happened, he just confessed.
Liu Yushi, who was kneeling beside him, also said: "Wei Chen knows that he was wrong."
"Since you two know that you are wrong, tell me where you are wrong?" Emperor Nanzhao asked.
"Wei Chen, Wei Chen..." Jin Shilang didn't know how to open his mouth.
"Where are you, Liu Yushi?" Emperor Nanzhao asked.
"Weichen is really too greedy and self-righteous, so he has thoughts that he shouldn't have. Please punish me, Your Majesty, Weichen knows he is wrong." Liu Yushi knelt down and said.
"Since Minister Jin and Yushi Liu have pleaded guilty, I will not punish you severely. I feel that you are not worthy of being an official, so I will dismiss you from your position starting today. After you find a place to live, please move out of your current residence.
." Emperor Nanzhao said.
Emperor Nanzhao just dismissed their officials, which was considered a lenient mercy. Otherwise, even if he did not chop off their heads, the whole family would be implicated.
So, the two hurriedly kowtowed and thanked each other. At this time, Feng Mingye said: "Your Majesty, these two adults are just confused about this matter. They should not involve their families. Besides, you also said that you would reward the Jin family's legitimate daughter."
Emperor Nanzhao thought for a while and said, "Pluto is right, the Jin family's legitimate daughter should indeed be rewarded. Why not just make her the county head and give her the former mansion."
"Father, the legitimate daughter of the Jin family mentioned before that an aunt in the family was her biological mother, and her biological mother died under mysterious circumstances, so I want to take the opportunity to investigate clearly." Feng Mingye said.
"Then investigate according to her wishes and send a few people to her." Emperor Nanzhao said.
"It's Father." Feng Mingye said.
After listening to Feng Mingye's words, Jin Shilang's face became even uglier than before. Because he knew that his daughter's affair should be exposed.
"Retreat from the court." Emperor Nanzhao said.
In the morning meeting, Emperor Nanzhao did not mention the matter of General Xia and Master Guo. He believed that the ministers had already heard about yesterday's incident, so there was no need to mention it deliberately in the morning meeting.
After the court ended, the ministers all walked out of the palace. Along the way, several ministers whispered, wanting to know what happened last night.
"Last night during the Lantern Festival, I didn't hear anything mentioned by Your Majesty. Besides, we all went back to the palace in the evening, and the only one in the palace was my unlucky son. After he came back last night, he just said that when Your Majesty returned to Plum Garden later,
The empress next to me is not Concubine Jing, but Concubine Yun, who has been ill for a long time. I didn’t think too much about it at the time, but now that I think about it, everything is traceable. Early this morning, it was reported that Concubine Jing had been demoted to Guo Guiren, but she still lived in Jing.
In the Yi Palace, by the way, Concubine Yun was named Concubine Yunhuang." A minister said.
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister, please walk slower. Have you known these things for a long time?" the minister asked.
How could the Prime Minister know this? He sighed and said, "I didn't know this before."
The Prime Minister walked out as fast as he could. The other ministers shook their heads and said, "You don't know, last night all the ladies went to pay their respects to Concubine Jing. I heard that only Princess Chengjun went to Concubine Yun's Liuli Palace. Even the Prime Minister
Madam didn’t even go to visit..."
"Master Li, stop being such a talkative woman and go back home as soon as possible," the minister said.
After the minister finished speaking, without waiting for Mr. Li's reaction, he quickly walked out of the palace.
"you……"
The Minister of Rites quickly followed the footsteps of the Prime Minister and asked in a low voice: "May I ask, Prime Minister, if you don't see General Xia and Sir Guo today, do you know what happened?"
The Prime Minister suddenly
He stopped and said, "Master Xu, Your Majesty did not mention this matter this morning. Naturally, I don't know what happened."
"Today, your Majesty only dealt with Master Jin and Master Liu, but did not mention anything about General Xia and Master Guo. However, I always feel that the matter is not simple. Prime Minister, what do you think?" Master Xu said.
"Master Xu, it's really strange. You were here just now in the morning court. Why do you need to ask me?" said the Prime Minister.
"The Prime Minister really doesn't know?" Master Xu asked.
"Farewell," said the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister did not answer Master Xu. After saying goodbye, he quickly walked out of the palace. Master Xu looked at the back of the Prime Minister meaningfully, always feeling that the Prime Minister had already known about His Majesty's plan.
Liuli Palace
"Mother, we have finally come to an end after all our hardships." Min'er said.
Just now, the father-in-law Nian came over to read out the imperial edict and also brought the imperial concubine's treasures. Min'er was very emotional after helping the imperial concubine Yun collect the treasures. She suddenly felt excited when she thought of all the things before.
Imperial Concubine Yun Huang smiled and said, "Your Majesty arranged it before, so I didn't suffer much originally."
"However, your Majesty had no idea that Concubine Jing was so courageous that she bribed the father-in-law in the royal kitchen to poison your food. Your Majesty only demoted Concubine Jing's status. Even Jingyi Palace may have her
Stay here." Min'er said.
"Guo Guo gave birth to a prince and a princess for your majesty. For the sake of the children, your majesty will not punish her severely. Think about King Mo's biological mother. Although your majesty hated her, he still did not kill her." Yun
The imperial concubine said.
"After a while, Your Majesty will be happy and restore Guo Guiren's status." Min'er said worriedly.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty won't do it. Guo Guoren has committed a taboo, and Your Majesty will definitely not forgive her," said Concubine Yunhuang.
"Guo Guiren will definitely not be willing to give in. As long as His Majesty will not forgive her, I will rest assured." Min'er said.
"This matter is finally over. By the way, are you ready for the jade Ruyi that I asked you to prepare?" Imperial Concubine Yun said.
"It has been prepared for a long time. I will bring it over to show you to the queen," Min'er said.
Min'er quickly took over an exquisite box, brought it to Imperial Concubine Yun, and opened the box.
"It is indeed a good jade, and together with the jade hairpin newly rewarded by His Majesty, I sent it to the Chengjun Prince's Mansion," said Concubine Yunhuang.
"Your Majesty, your majesty gave you this Ruyi jade when you first entered the palace. It has been with you for more than ten years. Are you willing to give it to Princess Chengjun? I know your thoughts, but you can exchange it for something else.
