She was not unwilling to care about the movements in the court, but this time in the palace, she didn't know that her father had been suspended from work and investigated!
No one reported such a big deal to her, and her father's letter was not delivered to her for a long time!
In the letter, her father asked her to say a few good words for him, hoping that the emperor would be generous and restore his post as soon as possible. He even reminded her that if the Lu family's power collapsed, then her status in the palace would be lost and the fifth prince would be difficult to ascend.
Ascend to the position of prince!
If there weren't these few words, the emperor might not have been angry, but it was these last few words that angered the emperor!
Whether she, her father, or the Lu family, although they all hope that the fifth prince would be made the crown prince, they did not dare to say this in front of the emperor. Now that the letter stated this meaning, how could the emperor not be angry?
?
My father has always been careful, but he never expected that the letter he wrote to her would come to the hands of the emperor!
Seeing her expression changing constantly, Xiao Heng thought she had read the letter and asked coldly: "What else do you have to tell me now?"
Concubine Duan looked dodging, and her hand holding the letter kept trembling, and she replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I... I..."
Under Xiao Heng's angry gaze, she was so scared that she couldn't speak for a moment.
"As the head of the palace, don't you know the rules in the palace, and the concubines in the harem, it is strictly forbidden to send private letters to the outside world..." Xiao Heng looked at her with a stern look, his voice colder than before.
Concubine Duan shook her body and knelt down: "Your Majesty, I am just... I miss my father too much, so I occasionally communicate with my father with letters!"
"Your father has made a big mistake now. I thought that he was old, served as an official for several years, and the fifth prince, so he suspended his post and investigated the merchants' lawsuit against him for his official positions!
But I never expected that he would be so unrepentant and would send you a private letter to persuade me to change my mind!"
It was not just that that made Xiao Heng angry! This letter was quietly transmitted through the palace's eyeliner. If it weren't for the eunuch Chen Rong and the servant Deng Xian, the court officer, who had found out the palace's eyeliner.
Will this letter from outside the palace be intercepted?!
"It seems that my punishment for him is too light..." Before Xiao Heng finished speaking, Concubine Duan grabbed the corner of Xiao Heng's clothes and begged in panic: "The emperor spared me and my father this time
After all, my father must have been framed by someone to rush to send a letter to me. The emperor is so loyal to the emperor, how could he do such a business as a business?"
At this point, she no longer cared about whether her father had done this. She just wanted to plead for her father and make the emperor soft-hearted!
If her father's official position is removed and she violates the palace rules again, then her life will be sad!
"The evidence is conclusive. Could it be that I have falsely accused him?" Xiao Heng glared and his shocked gaze made Concubine Duan tremble suddenly.
Seeing that Concubine Duan didn't say anything, Xiao Heng continued, "Your father disappointed me so much. I have only promoted him to his official position for how long. He has used his power for personal gain and has no repentance! If I spare him this time, how can I calm the anger of the public
?”
"Emperor..." When Concubine Duan heard the emperor's words, her heart suddenly became sank. She knew that her father could not escape punishment this time, and the emperor did not fail to give her father a chance. It's a pity that her father wanted to be suspended and investigated when he was suspended.
