Chapter 186: Don't Indulge
"Hou Aiqing, are you embarrassed?" Wei Chimu's tone was cold.
"The minister doesn't dare, the minister has no way to teach the daughter, he knows that he is ashamed, and he hopes that the emperor will serve the court for many years in the minister, and although the little girl has made a big mistake, she can still remedy it, forgive the little girl's sin, and the minister is willing to resign to apologize. Hou Shangshu nodded and earnestly begged for forgiveness for his daughter.
Yu Chimu shook his head, "Hou Shangshu, you are a scholar, how can you be so indistinguishable from wrong." This case has been handed over to the Criminal Department for trial, even if I have absolved Ling Yan of the crime of poisoning Concubine Man, but I cannot avoid the crime of framing Zuo Xiyao, the daughter of General Zuo, otherwise I will not be biased, how can I convince General Zuo? Moreover, Ling Yan failed to poison Concubine Man once, and now he is plotting to unite with Fang Qi to kill my concubine again, such a vicious person, I must not connive at it!"
Hou Shangshu silently lowered his eyes. He knew that it was useless to say anything, but Hou Yuanxiu was even more frightened and kept shouting "Dad, save me, Dad, save me", which made him a little annoyed.
"You can bear the sins you have done! Dad is powerless. Hou Shangshu glared at his daughter angrily and said.
After all, after sending Hou Yuanxiu into the palace, what did she do in the palace, he, the father, really didn't know at all, just like he didn't know how his concubines in the Shangshu Mansion were reorganized to be obedient and close.
Hou Yuanxiu is born in the main room of Hou Shangshu, and is a concubine, she has been quite calm and intelligent since she was a child, but at the same time she is also thoughtful, and she has been in Shangshu Mansion since she was fourteen years old, helping her mother take care of it. A concubine and concubine in the Shangshu Mansion dare not compete with it, perhaps she is too self-proclaimed to be smart, so she never consults with others, and does what she makes her own opinions.
But in the imperial palace, how can it be a place where her little minister's daughter can do whatever she wants? That idea is clever, and the scheming to help her mother fight in the Shangshu Mansion is really nothing to put in the emperor's harem, not to mention facing Chi Xiaoman, a graduate student of history who has traveled from the 21st century and has watched countless court dramas, is really not wronged at all in her hands.
Hou Yuanxiu looked at her father, there were still tears on her face, but her expression was no longer frightened, but became as calm as death.
She knew that she couldn't be saved, and if she continued to make trouble, it would not be good for the family to be affected.
"Your Majesty. She bowed to the emperor calmly and said: "The courtiers confessed, and every qiē was done by the courtiers alone, and it has nothing to do with the courtiers' relatives." ”
"Someone came, and Hou Yuanxiu, the daughter of Hou Shangshu, was escorted to the Criminal Department to await trial. After Wei Chimu finished speaking, he said to Hou Shangshu: "Hou Qi, you have no way to teach your daughter, you should have been responsible for sitting together, my aunt has been dedicated to the court all these years, and you don't know about this matter, forgive you for your innocence, I hope you can devote yourself to state affairs in the future, don't think about him." The meaning of the last two sentences was to remind him not to send the women of the clan to the palace again, and not to force him to take a concubine with other ministers in the court.
"Minister, thank you to the emperor, minister, obey the order. Hou Shangshu bowed respectfully.
Hou Yuanxiu was taken down, Hou Qi also retreated, and in the imperial study, Fang Qi looked at Yu Chimu with a deep expression, and Yu Chimu finally set his eyes on Fang Qi. (To be continued......)
