The queen saw that the emperor regretted and was sad, so she said: "Your Majesty, you are also a human being, and if you are a human being, you will inevitably get into a dead end." What's more, your thoughts are also the thoughts of most emperors, and the harem and the previous dynasty have always been closely related. The status of the Shen family in the minds of the people of the Great Zhou is too high, it is normal for you to have such thoughts. ”

"It's just that what is the difference between Lin Ruan marrying Jing Chen and marrying the crown prince? Jing Chen was raised and nurtured by you, and you know best what kind of character he is. The concubine dares to say that Jing Chen's respect and love for you is by no means less than that of these princes and princesses in the palace. ”

The more the empress spoke, the heavier the look of regret on the emperor's face.

Now it makes it difficult for the queen to continue.

After a long time, the emperor stood up, looked at the Queen Mother for a while, turned to Li Fuquan and said, "Go to King Xiao's Mansion, tell Jing Chen about the Queen Mother's injury, and let him enter the palace quickly." ”

Li Fuquan hurriedly went down to arrange for someone to pass the word.

After most of the hour, the messenger came back alone, and Xiao Jingchen was nowhere to be seen.

Li Fuquan asked, "What about the prince?" Didn't you ask Prince Xiao to invite you? ”

The little eunuch who passed the message took out two letters and handed them to him: "Father-in-law Li, the prince is not in the house, and the chief manager Xiao gave the little one this letter, saying that it was written by the prince to the emperor and the queen mother." ”

When Li Fuquan saw the letter, he chuckled in his heart for no reason, and quickly took the letter into the hall and presented it to the emperor.

The handwriting on the envelope was very familiar to the emperor, his eyes narrowed, he took the letter written to him and opened it, and his face immediately changed.

I saw that it was written: "Uncle, Jing Chen knows that this refusal to marry makes you angry, which is really unfilial, but Jing Chen can't marry a woman he doesn't love." Inevitably, things developed to the point where they could not end, Jing Chen said goodbye without saying goodbye, and went to the north to defend the territory for Da Zhou, which can be regarded as a repudiation. If he does not kill the king of Northern Xinjiang in this life, Jing Chen vows not to return to Beijing. ”

The emperor's original guilty mood suddenly disappeared, and all that was left was the anger that rushed to the sky, "Okay, what a prince Xiao!" Unexpectedly, he resisted the decree one after another! Without my will, why would he go to the North! ”

Li Fuquan hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, Prince Xiao is young and vigorous, he definitely didn't mean to resist the decree." ”

The emperor was angry and directly rewarded him, "He didn't mean to resist the decree or what?" He's slapping me in the face! ”

"Since you're leaving, let's go and don't come back! After passing the order, Xiao Jingchen repeatedly rebelled against him, took away the title of the prince, was demoted to a commoner, and was not allowed to set foot in Kyoto for half a step! ”

"The emperor thinks twice!"

Li Fuquan kept kowtowing, "Your Majesty, Prince Chen is the child that the Queen Mother cares about the most, if her old man knows that the emperor treats the prince like this, she will definitely not be able to stand it." ”

The last thing the emperor could hear at this time was to plead with Xiao Jingchen, "When the Queen Mother wakes up, I will personally tell her my decision." From now on, whoever dares to intercede for Xiao Jingchen, I will let him go to Xiao Jingchen as a companion! ”

Li Fuquan suddenly didn't dare to squeak anymore, but the anxiety on his face couldn't be hidden.

When the queen knew this will, the gates of King Xiao's mansion had already been sealed, and the people in the palace were all kicked out.

Manager Xiao didn't panic at all, and took his subordinates directly to the county lord's mansion.

Anyway, it was the territory of their hostess, and it was just right to go there.

It took only half a day for Xiao Wangfu to fall to the ground from the power to the ground, and for a time there was a storm in Kyoto, and all families rushed to inquire about the truth.

In just half a day, the county lord of Mingyue experienced the ups and downs from heaven to the ground, and the whole person was crazy, and he wanted to go to Xiao Jingchen to ask for clarification, but was stopped by King Qi.

"Father, you told me to go to him, and I went to him to ask for clarification. Obviously, the emperor's uncle has already decreed marriage, why should he resist the decree and not marry me! ”

King Qi only felt that his face was about to be lost, and from ancient times to the present, he had never heard of anyone daring to refuse marriage. And in order to refuse to give marriage, he didn't even want the throne.

How disgusted he is for his daughter.

It's just that his daughter, who is not angry, even went to Xiao Jingchen to ask for an explanation.

"What is there to ask, it's nothing more than that he doesn't like you and doesn't want to marry you! It's already here, do you still want to send it to the door for him to be humiliated again? Are all the men in the world dead? ”

Zhao Mingyue couldn't accept this fact at all, she liked Xiao Jingchen for so many years, and finally made her dream come true, and suddenly it came to naught, how could she be willing. "I'm going to go to him and ask him what I am inferior to. Father, let me go. ”

King Qi directly ordered: "Invite the county king back to the courtyard, without my consent, she is not allowed to go out of the courtyard, and the offender will be punished with thirty rods, and the mansion will be sold!" ”

He also asked the housekeeper to go out and spread the word, "Our Qi Wangfu took the initiative to cancel the marriage contract with Xiao Wangfu, Xiao Jingchen has a bad morality, and he is not clear with other women, our girls from Qi Wangfu will never marry such a man." ”

Now that Xiao Jingchen's refusal to marry has not spread, the Qi Wangfu must hurry up to spread the news, so as to retain some face as much as possible.

Zhao Mingyue didn't understand King Qi's hard work, and felt that her father's doing this would extinguish her last glimmer of hope, so she struggled desperately and shouted: "Father, don't, don't say that." I'm going to marry him, and I'm not going to marry anyone but him!" ”

King Qi was really disappointed in this daughter, "Okay, in that case, I will send you to become a monk after a while, and it will save you from staying in Kyoto and continuing to lose the face of my Qi Palace!" ”

Zhao Mingyue didn't expect King Qi to say such a thing at all, and she was so shocked that she didn't dare to mess around anymore

Her maid hurriedly dragged her away half-dragged and half-helped.

In the palace, the queen was anxiously turning around outside the imperial study, and when she saw Li Fuquan coming out of the palace, she stepped forward and asked, "Is the emperor willing to see the palace?" ”

Li Fuquan shook his head: "Niangniang, go back first, the emperor is angry at this moment, the more you persuade him, the more angry he becomes." The holy decree has been issued, and the palace has also been sealed, and this matter can only be mentioned when the emperor is angry. ”

The queen was so anxious that her head jumped and hurt, she never expected that things would develop like this. How could Xiao Jingchen go to Northern Xinjiang without saying goodbye? He understands the emperor's temper so well, he is not such an ignorant person, how could he do such a thing to cut off his back road?

The queen really wanted to send someone to stop Xiao Jingchen back and give her a good meal.

At this time, Xiao Jingchen had already left Kyoto and was in a small inn on the road to Beijiang.

Liang Twelve, Ding Rui and several of Xiao Jingchen's core henchmen followed him.

In the middle of the night, someone hurriedly arrived at the inn and knocked on Xiao Jingchen's door, "Lord Wang, something happened to the Queen Mother." ”
