Chapter 781: Pardon

King Yan looked at the emperor with an expression that he expected, and finally secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

There is some hatred, not only Li Yaozhi has, but he actually has it. Even if Xiao Mingzhu is no longer his beloved fiancΓ©e, she is also a little girl who grew up with his childhood sweetheart. The person who killed her tragically, how could he let it go so easily? In the past, he was thousands of miles away, and he had to take care of the emperor, Xiao Mingde and others, so he could only do some actions in secret. Now that the emperor has decided to make a move against the Cao family, Xiao Mingde has completely angered him because of concealing Xiao Rui's life experience and defending Xiao Guifei, and he is now very dissatisfied with some of the actions of the third prince. Since that's the case, he doesn't need to restrain himself anymore, just do what he has to do! Those people are ...... anyway It's just paying for his past crimes.

In a slightly hesitant tone, King Yan continued to say to the emperor: "Brother Huang, my brother can't say that there is any evidence in his hand, maybe you should investigate more carefully and then make a judgment." After all...... Concubine Xiao Guifei is the one who gave birth to a prince for the royal brother. Even if you don't consider the merits of her years of serving the imperial brother, you have to look at the face of the third prince, he doesn't know about this matter, and he is completely innocent......"

The emperor waved his hand impatiently: "I will naturally order someone to investigate!" I won't just wronged Xiao Mingyu! If the final result is found out, it is really that she betrayed Mingzhu and my ...... back then," he paused and said coldly, "What if a prince was born?" There are more women in my harem who have given birth to princes! Could it be that Cao's crime is conclusive, and I want to spare her in front of the prince?! Since the queen is still like this, what else does a concubine have to say?! What's more, if it weren't for her sister Xiao Mingzhu, Xiao Mingyu might not be able to be canonized as a concubine! Lin Zhaoyi, the biological mother of the second prince, and Qiao Meiren, the biological mother of the fourth prince, haven't even earned the concubine position? !

The third prince has been getting more and more out of tune recently, and it is a dream to ask him to spare his mother who committed a major crime for the sake of this son!

King Yan lowered his head slightly, very satisfied. When the emperor found out about Xiao Guifei's nursing mother, he would find that her family even died at the hands of inexplicable "bandits" because her son-in-law, who was born in the imperial city guard and had been a military attache for many years...... Needless to say, what conclusions the emperor will draw at that time.

As for the subordinates sent by King Yan himself, they found clues at the place of the crime and did not bring them back to Beijing, but directly left traces in the local area, guiding the county commander to track down in the right direction or something...... Of course, he wouldn't reveal it to the emperor who was prone to distraction.

Xiao Mingyu was already a turtle in the urn, and King Yan had no intention of continuing to interfere, so as not to attract the emperor's attention, but to suspect him.

He changed the topic instead: "This old matter can only be entrusted to the imperial brother for inquiry." My younger brother will return to Beiping in a few days, and the selection of the heir ......"

The emperor recovered from his anger and his face softened a lot: "Ah...... That's a good idea. I have already mentioned it to the Queen Mother, although what I told the Queen Mother was that I made up the statement to the outside world, but the Queen Mother doesn't care, as long as you have a successor, she will be happy......" He looked at his younger brother, "Originally, I wanted to pass on a prince to you as a son, you don't look down on the third child, I couldn't understand it before, but now I know - it's because of his mother, right?" You can't pass this in your heart, and you can't accept Xiao Mingyu's son anyway, right? ”

King Yan smiled bitterly and lowered his head: "Before this year, my younger brother didn't know that Concubine Xiao had anything to do with this matter. It really didn't matter at that time. As long as it is the son of the emperor's brother, any one is good - but Mingzhu's son has not been able to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors for many years, and he has to be bullied by Xiao Mingde's wife and children who don't know the inside story in the Xiao family, and his younger brother is also wronged for him...... Since the emperor is interested in the four princes and is unwilling to let go, Chonglin is also very good. ”

The emperor sighed and nodded slightly: "That's not bad what you say...... Although he can only take the name of your son and become the heir of King Yan now, the son of Heng Zhu also wants to become the heir of King Yan, is he the eldest or the third or fourth...... Or the fourth and fifth, there is not much difference in the original. If it weren't for Cao's Hu Wei, the child that Yaozhi conceived for you back then would have been born safely, and he would have become the rightful son of King Yan. Since Rui'er is now the identity of this child, let him go to Yanwang's Mansion. I have never fulfilled my responsibilities as a father, and I will not be able to recognize him in the future, so I can only compensate him in this way......"

He looked at King Yan again: "The emperor's brother let Li Yaozhi go before, although that cheap maid was stupid, but she did disrespectfully and offended my ......."

King Yan hurriedly said: "The imperial brother should only look at the heavy forest!" The child didn't know anything about his true background, and only recognized Yaozhi as his biological mother. If Yaozhi dies, I'm afraid that the child will be sad! Brother Huang, Yaozhi is just a maidservant, and her status is humble and not worth mentioning! But if she can make Chonglin's child happy, you should reward him! ”

The emperor smiled lightly: "What are you in a hurry? You say you don't care, but you don't want to watch your old lover die. Unexpectedly, my brother turned out to be an infatuated lover! ”

King Yan choked, coughed lightly twice, and pretended to have a flickering gaze: "The emperor said he was laughing." ”

"Every time you want to pretend, you don't call the emperor, you call the emperor instead!" The emperor is no longer angry with Li Yaozhi now, and he is still in the mood to joke with his brother, "Stop, stop, stop, I just want to reward my own son, as you said." It's just a servant girl who has taken care of him since he was a child, even if he has the false identity of his biological mother, he is just a subordinate, and he is not worth anything. It's just that the offended me first, and I can't go unpunished. Let her become a monk, go to Beiping to become a monk, go far away, and don't appear in front of me again. Let her spend the rest of her life praying for Mingzhu and Rui'er, and she is not allowed to enjoy the wealth of the world! ”

King Yan hurriedly got up and thanked him.

Li Yaozhi's problem was finally solved. King Yan didn't care that the emperor's pardon still had conditions, as long as he reached the boundary of Beiping, wouldn't things be easy? Just find a nunnery with a good environment in Beiping City to settle Li Yaozhi, and let the princess donate more incense and silver, are you afraid that Li Yaozhi's life will be uncomfortable? It is also convenient for Xiao Rui to visit. Originally, she lived in the General Mansion of Zhuguo, and she was also chanting scriptures and worshiping Buddha all year round, praying for the old lords Xiao Mingzhu and Xiao Rui, changing places to live, life is still the same, and she can often see the princess, Xiao Rui and Qiongye and other old people.

King Yan estimated that the time was almost up, so he was about to get up and say goodbye, but suddenly heard the emperor call him and asked about another thing: "Since the Queen Mother already knows about Rui'er, then she will definitely have to ask about his marriage next." It's all eighteen or nineteen-year-old guys, Xiao Mingde hasn't even kissed him yet, it's really damned! You seem to have mentioned it before, and you have already given him a good family business, which family is the daughter? If it's not good, I won't agree! This child has been wronged for so many years, and I am determined to compensate him for a perfect lady! ”
