But if the Supreme Emperor objects to etiquette and the reputation of the Tian family, it is really justified. Let alone objecting, even if he and Princess Zhaoyang are severely punished, the world will have nothing to say.
Therefore, he was really not sure about this meeting.
Letting go of Princess Zhaoyang's hand, Jia Lian straightened his clothes and walked to the gate of Chonghua Palace.
The guard on duty raised his knife indifferently, signaling him to stop.
Jia Lian knelt down on the spot, kowtowed and said in a serious voice: "Jia Lian, the grandson of Jia Daishan, the first-class Duke of Rongguo, would like to see the Supreme Emperor."
…
It was rumored that the Supreme Emperor and Jia Daishan had an irreconcilable relationship, so Jia Lian specifically asked to see him as Jia Daishan's grandson, hoping that the Supreme Emperor would be considerate of his old friend.
Time passed minute by minute, but the Supreme Emperor did not receive him.
He also did not receive Princess Zhaoyang.
The one who came out of the palace was the eunuch Wang Fu, whom Jia Lian was somewhat familiar with.
Wang Fu and a group of eunuchs and maids strolled out of Chonghua Palace and walked up to Jia Lian, with their nostrils pointing to the sky.
When he found that Jia Lian didn't even raise his eyes to look at him, he slowly looked at Princess Zhaoyang who was also kneeling beside him, and the expression on his face became somewhat calmer.
After clearing his throat, Wang Fu said: "The Supreme Emperor has decreed that Princess Zhaoyang will act recklessly and tarnish the face of the Tian family. Starting today, she will be banned from the Weiyang Palace and will be strictly disciplined by the Queen Mother."
When Jia Lian and Princess Zhaoyang heard this, their hearts sank.
Unexpectedly, the Supreme Emperor didn't even give them a chance to defend themselves, and just punished them.
The fourth prince who was standing nearby and watching from afar also became anxious at this time and jumped out quickly: "This is unfair! It is clearly Jia Lian's fault. My imperial sister was bewitched and abducted by him. Why did Grandpa Huang punish her instead?"
!”
Wang Fu obviously had a lot of respect for the fourth prince. When he saw the fourth prince stabbing him, he hurriedly booed and said: "Your Highness, please be patient. The Supreme Emperor does not really want to punish the eldest princess.
The Supreme Emperor said that as long as Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess can repent, the grounding will be lifted..."
As he said this, Wang Fuyi glanced at Princess Zhaoyang's belly pointedly.
At this glance, not to mention Jia Lian and Princess Zhaoyang, even the fourth prince understood.
Princess Zhaoyang's face suddenly became sad. She knew that the Queen Mother did not lie to her, and this was really what the Emperor meant.
It’s just that she doesn’t understand why the Aether Emperor’s mind cannot accommodate her child. After all, the child in her belly also carries the blood of the Tian family!
Could it be that, in the eyes of the Supreme Emperor, the face of the Tian family is really so important that there is no emotion at all?
But why can they tolerate the imperial grandmother and even the imperial father...
"Your Royal Highness, Princess, let's go."
A group of palace maids led by two old nuns walked out from behind Wang Fu. They said to Princess Zhaoyang expressionlessly.
Princess Zhaoyang stood up slowly and looked at Jia Lian sadly.
Jia Lian felt equally uncomfortable at the moment.
This is royal power!
One sentence can determine a person's fate, life or death, making people unable to resist or dare not resist.
Even he, a world-famous hero and a young marquis who is envied by countless people, is no different.
Facing Princess Zhaoyang's look for help, what could Jia Lian say and do?
He knew that the Supreme Emperor had even banned Princess Zhaoyang, so there was no way he would not be punished.
Sure enough, Wang Fu had turned to look at him and said calmly: "It is the Supreme Emperor's decree that the second-class Zhenyuan Marquis Jia Lian deceived the princess of the current dynasty and tarnished her reputation. It was really audacious.
After his meritorious deeds, he also made many extraordinary achievements for the imperial court, so he was given a light sentence and demoted to the third rank of Zhenyuan Marquis to serve as a warning to others.
If you don't repent, you will be severely punished."
"Master Zhenyuan, do you understand?"
After saying that, Wang Fu saw that Jia Lian lowered his head and said nothing, and said slowly: "Master Marquis, don't be ungrateful. The Supreme Emperor is very kind to you.
If someone else had committed such a serious crime, it would be a minor offense to have his body and head removed.
Mr. Hou, you should be grateful that you have a good ancestor. If it weren’t for the sake of old Mr. Rongguo, this time, tsk tsk..."
Wang Fu shook his head with a mocking expression.
In fact, he had no beef with Jia Lian, he just simply didn't like Jia Lian.
Maybe it was because Jia Lian didn't give him, the eunuch in charge of Chonghua Palace, enough respect before, or maybe he saw that Jia Lian didn't like him either.
In short, everything went smoothly for Jia Lian in the past and he didn't dare to show off when he was favored.
Now seeing Jia Lian in trouble, he naturally wouldn't hesitate to step on him.
It’s human nature to hold high people up and downplay low ones.
At this time, Jia Lian had no time to argue with a eunuch. He said to Princess Zhaoyang on the side: "You go to see the Queen Mother first, and I will come to see you later."
Princess Zhaoyang nodded and said hurriedly: "Don't be reckless..."
This time, the Supreme Emperor was merciful. He gave Jia Lian a stern warning, but he only demoted him to one rank. It was obviously mostly a warning.
He was afraid that Jia Lian would further anger the Emperor and ruin his future. She knew that Jia Lian had great ambitions, and she could not bear to let Jia Lian ruin his great prospects because of her.
Jia Lian smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I understand."
Princess Zhaoyang felt relieved, looked at Jia Lian one last time, raised her legs and left.
The maids supervising the law enforcement quickly followed. They could all see that the Emperor was only warning Princess Zhaoyang and was not giving up completely. Otherwise, these people who came under orders might not have this attitude.
Jia Lian ignored Wang Fu all the time, which made Wang Fu feel slighted. As soon as the fourth prince and Princess Zhaoyang left, he immediately said in a surreptitious manner: "Why, the Marquis has not accepted the order to express gratitude, is he trying to resist the order?
"
Jia Lian glanced at the person in front of him indifferently. This person already had a plan to die.
"My father-in-law is overly worried. Jia Lian accepted the order to express his gratitude, and asked my father-in-law to pass the message on his behalf, saying that Jia Lian risked his own life to remonstrate."
Regardless of whether the Supreme Emperor was looking at Jia Dai's kindness or because he was useful to the court, the punishment of holding him high and putting him down gently was true.
This shows that the Supreme Emperor is not really angry.
As he said himself, under the current situation, if he could not meet the Supreme Emperor and give up his face-to-face confession, he would really be sorry for Princess Zhaoyang's deep love for him.
In other words, you must die clearly.
"Marquis Zhenyuan must know how to be content. This time the Supreme Emperor has shown you extra mercy. Don't push yourself too far. The Supreme Emperor will never see you."
"It is up to the Supreme Emperor to decide whether he will see you or not. Please be kind to me. Jia Lian will definitely remember your father-in-law's kindness and you will be rewarded in the future."
"Humph, since Marquis Zhenyuan won't listen to advice, then just kneel here."
Wang Fu snorted coldly, turned around and left, obviously not intending to help Jia Lian.
Jia Lian didn't care. He straightened his clothes and kneeled in front of the empty Chonghua Palace gate.
