The emperor knew that Chen Danzhu's sister was coming with her, but he didn't stop her and didn't care.
There is nothing to care about a woman who is deceived by her husband and is about to destroy her family.
He asked Chen Danzhu directly. As in the past, Chen Danzhu confessed without saying a word and then explained his reasons - but this time Chen Danzhu did not say anything about his confession and was interrupted by Miss Chen.
.
Thank you? Thank you for what?
Do you want to thank the emperor for not killing her? Although the cell where she lives is like a fairy palace, it does not mean that she is really spared. It is too early to thank the emperor now. Do you want to use gratitude to block the emperor's mouth? This
It's just a clever trick! It's useless.
"After I interrogate and pronounce the verdict," the emperor looked at her and said coldly, "it's not too late for you to thank Long En."
Chen Danyan said: "At that time, I naturally wanted to thank you for your kindness, but now I am thanking you for your majesty's favor."
The emperor said, probably understanding. Sure enough, the woman raised her head and said, "Your Majesty wants to reward me and Li Liang's son. It is for this that I have come to the capital to express my gratitude."
The emperor smiled: "So your sisters' gratitude is to kill Miss Yao?"
"Your Majesty——" Chen Danzhu shouted, "this matter is my——"
But Chen Danyan interrupted her again and touched her shoulder: "Danzhu, please stop talking until I report back to Your Majesty."
Chen Danzhu looked at Chen Danyan and understood what her sister was going to do. Just like when she was a child, when she met the king at the palace banquet, her sister would protect her behind her. She didn't need to speak. She was there to deal with everything.
Although she has grown up now, and although she understands the emperor better, her sister wants to protect her, and she is willing to let her protect her for the rest of her life.
Chen Danzhu obediently stopped talking and moved behind Chen Danyan on her knees.
The emperor sighed inwardly, Miss Danzhu pretended to be pitiful in front of her family.
Chen Danyan comforted her younger sister who moved behind her, and then said to His Majesty: "Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation. Your gratitude has nothing to do with killing Yao Fu."
This Miss Chen is not as charming as Chen Danzhu. Her eyebrows are as gentle as water, her speech is neither hasty nor slow, and her demeanor is neither arrogant nor impetuous. The emperor smiled coldly, let's listen to what she has to say.
"Because Li Liang is loyal to His Majesty, His Majesty wants to make his wife a concubine. This is my honor." Chen Danyan said, "After hearing the news, I immediately set off to Beijing just to thank the Emperor for his kindness."
As she spoke, she took out a letter from her sleeve.
"I wrote a letter to Li Liang's parents at that time, telling them to write my son on the family tree. Yesterday, the reply from my parents-in-law was sent, as well as the rubbing of the family tree. Please take a look at it. Li Liang's parents are also there.
On the way to Beijing, when they arrive, I will take them back to thank Your Majesty for your kindness."
Amazing, the emperor thought to himself, but he didn't ask anyone to pick up her letter and read it - he didn't care either. Instead, he glanced at Chen Danzhu and clicked his tongue again to see what it means to be a real noble lady.
Swift, thoughtful and reasonable arrangements, unlike Chen Danzhu, who only had one thought, killing people.
The emperor had always been reasonable to people who were reasonable, saying: "But thanking someone for showing gratitude is showing gratitude, and being guilty means showing guilt. These are two completely unrelated things. If you accept a reward to express gratitude, it does not mean that you -" He pointed at Chen Danzhu
, "There is no sin in killing people."
Chen Danzhu knelt down obediently, not quibbling and retorting like before.
"Your Majesty, my daughter's gratitude and killing Yao Fu are indeed two different things. And since your majesty has rewarded my daughter, killing Yao Fu cannot be considered a crime." Chen Danyan said, "I just said that your majesty did it because of Li Liang's loyalty.
Li Liang admired His Majesty's loyal ministers very much, but Li Liang's loyalty to His Majesty was paved with his daughter's family, his father's promotion and support, and his father who gave him military power.
It was my younger brother's life that gave him a guarantee, and it was my daughter who was deceived and plotted against. Without my daughter's family, how could his loyalty be there? What use would Li Liang's loyalty be to His Majesty and Daxia?"
Would the emperor care about Li Liang's loyalty if he was not Chen Liehu's son-in-law?
The emperor remained silent.
"It is natural for my daughter to be rewarded for Li Liang's loyalty. My sister killed Li Liang and Yao Fu. From a personal perspective, it is reasonable and reasonable. From a public perspective, it is also to show my loyalty to your majesty. He, Li Liang, can rely on harming our family for your majesty."
To be loyal, why can't we just kill him to be loyal to His Majesty?" Chen Danyan said, then looked at Chen Danzhu who was sitting obediently and bowing his head, "Your Majesty, our Danzhu is no more loyal to Daxia than Li Liang is to His Majesty.
Difference."
Although, but, the emperor frowned.
Chen Danyan called to His Majesty: "Li Liang killed my brother, and my sister killed Li Liang's concubine. It can be considered even, and I understand this grudge. However, this is only a grudge between us, and Li Liang's."
The children have nothing to do with it, so please rest assured, your majesty. Your Majesty will take Yao's son and record it in the Li family's genealogy as her own. She will raise him to be a man, study and become a talented person. The son will inherit his father's legacy and make contributions to Daxia, and he will live up to your majesty.
Gratitude is great."
The emperor's face was dull, but he was already amused and surprised in his heart. Look, look, what does it mean to advance and retreat in a reasonable and well-founded way, and what does it mean to refute you and still make it impossible for you to find fault? Your Majesty, you are not going to treat Li Liang's children as
Is this Yao a nominal reward? No problem, they just killed Yao, but Yao's son can continue to be rewarded.
Moreover, Miss Chen will also bring the Yao family's son over, allowing him to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan, so that Li Liang's bloodline can be passed down and His Majesty's grace will be remembered from generation to generation.
It is not a big deal if a woman from outside the family is killed. From the perspective of national affairs, it does not affect anything. From the perspective of family affairs, which aristocratic family does not have its head wives killing and selling concubines? This is a trivial matter.
Your Majesty, for the sake of Li Liang's concubine, you won't really have to beat and kill the Chen sisters, right?
That's really not the case - the emperor thought to himself, the eldest lady of the Chen family didn't look in good health, she was slender and weak, but whether it was about accepting the reward or talking about her personal grudge with the Yao family, she didn't cry.
There is no anger in the sadness, and the words are spoken with sincerity and sincerity, which makes people listen to their hearts.
It's amazing. If this eldest lady had stayed in the capital, she would never have caused trouble like Chen Danzhu. This woman is not stupid. She was probably a promiscuous woman before.
The emperor sat on the dragon throne and laughed.
"Okay." He said, "Since Miss Chen is so understanding, I can rest assured that I will leave Li Liang's children to your care."
Chen Danyan leaned over: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The emperor added: "However, you and I know very well that Yao is not just Li Liang's concubine. She is a member of the prince and the court. We can't just say that if you kill her, it will be silent. Why?
We also want her to have a home."
Chen Danyan immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will let her be buried in the Li family's ancestral grave."
That's enough. It means you no longer have to be a lonely ghost. The emperor nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay." He said, "Then according to the previous discussion of the court, you will be made the princess, and your son and Yao's son will be knighted. Chen, what do you think?"
Chen Danyan bowed her head again: "My maid——"
This time, before she finished her words, Chen Danzhu, who was kneeling obediently behind her, raised his head.
