Emperor Ming Yuan sneered, "Suicide? I'm afraid it's not, what is the inside story, I have already learned everything, Chu Mingcui confessed in prison, saying that Chu Shoufu was the instigator behind the scenes, and the fifth child killed her, and she was not allowed to go to court for trial, because she was afraid of confessing Chu Shoufu. ”

Yuan Qingling held his sleeves with both hands, and his fingers were white, "Father, do you believe it?" Do you really believe that Lord Shousuke is the messenger? ”

"It's one thing to believe it or not, it's one thing for Chu Mingcui to confess, it can't be mixed up, no matter what Chu Mingcui said, it's a fact that the fifth child killed her."

Yuan Qingling looked directly at Emperor Ming Yuan, and she understood in her heart.

The emperor knew Lao Wu's intentions, and he also believed that it was not Chu Shoufu who did it, but he wanted to coerce her or Lao Wu to do something that they were not willing to do.

She took a deep breath and said: "Father, the fifth child is your son, whether he is a murderer or not is also in your thoughts, but the daughter-in-law is very sure that everything he does is for the court and the country, he has no selfish intentions, please be clear." ”

Emperor Ming Yuan smiled slightly, looked at her clear and resolute eyes, and said: "Well, this matter will be put aside first, there is one more thing, I have to talk to you first, ask for your opinion, if you don't agree, I won't force you." ”

Yuan Qingling knew that he had entered the topic, straightened his body, and said, "You say." ”

Emperor Ming Yuan was particularly kind and gentle, and said: "That's the case, General Hu has been stationed in Zhenbei, and he has made meritorious contributions to the imperial court, and a few days ago there was a good news, saying that all the rogues in the area of Zhenbei were annihilated, and I named him the Marquis of Zhenbei and rewarded him, but the Marquis of Zhenbei did not want to be rewarded, and only asked me to complete a heart for him." ”

Yuan Qingling's eyes flashed, could it be that this Zhenbei Hou has a daughter......

Sure enough, Emperor Ming Yuan smiled and said: "Zhenbei Hou has a son and a daughter, General Hu Shao has been married, but the daughter is eighteen this year, has been stationed with Zhenbei Hou, delayed the marriage, Zhenbei Hou had brought the fifth child, he praised the fifth child, so he inquired about my tone, and wanted to marry Miss Hu to the fifth child as a side concubine, of course, this matter has to be asked to you first, if you agree, I will talk to the fifth child." ”

Sure enough, it's all a routine.

Yuan Qingling sighed lightly in his heart, is there still an end? died a Chu Mingcui, married a Chu Mingyang, and now there is a Miss Hu.

Looking at Emperor Ming Yuan's Yin but oppressive eyes, Yuan Qingling shook his head lightly and said, "Father, if you ask my opinion, I will definitely disapprove of it. ”

Emperor Ming Yuan seemed to be expected, and said: "Well, I just ask according to the usual rules, if you don't agree, I will refuse this matter." ”

Yuan Qingling knew that things would not be so simple, she stood up and blessed, "Thank you for your kindness." ”

Emperor Ming Yuan pressed his hand, "You sit down first, I still have something to say." ”

Yuan Qingling sat down and looked at him.

Emperor Ming Yuan said: "This matter is just mentioned by the way, you are passed into the palace, not mainly for this matter, the fifth brother killed Chu Mingcui, what do you think, how should I deal with him?" ”

Yuan Qingling said softly: "Father, you are his father, you can deal with it as you say." ”

Emperor Ming Yuan pondered for a moment, then looked up at Mu Ru's father-in-law and ordered: "Mu Ru, pass on my will, ask Gu Si to take people to the Chu King's Mansion, put the King of Chu in the prison of the Criminal Department, and let the Criminal Department try this case." ”

Mu Ru's father-in-law was stunned, "Your Majesty ......"

Emperor Ming Yuan's expression was cold, "Go ahead." ”

Mu Ru's father-in-law responded, but looked at Yuan Qingling.

Yuan Qingling said helplessly: "Father, you are forcing me, using the life of the fifth child to force me." ”

Emperor Ming Yuan's face changed abruptly, "Bold!" ”

When Yuan Qingling heard this, she knew that she was going to kneel, she slowly got up on the table, and then knelt down slowly, in the end, her tone couldn't help but be full of resentment, "Father is angry." ”

Emperor Ming Yuan said sharply: "Yuan Qingling, I respect you to discuss the matter of concubines, you don't agree, I don't force you, you don't want to be grateful, and you dare to speak disrespectfully to me?" You have committed a great sin of treason! ”

Yuan Qingling's heart was uncomfortable, and he blocked his breath in his throat, he really didn't vomit or feel unhappy, "Father, if you really respect your daughter-in-law, you shouldn't have repeatedly mentioned marrying a side concubine when your daughter-in-law was pregnant, why did the fifth child kill Chu Mingcui, you clearly understand in your heart, do you think he did something wrong?" Isn't he thinking about the court? If Chu Mingcui really went to court to testify and confessed to Chu Shoufu, although Chu Shoufu would not be convicted in the end, he would always have a way to prove his innocence, but Chu Shoufu went down the vine, and the person behind this surfaced, wouldn't it hurt your father's heart? Lao Wu's hard work, does the father really not understand? Why do you have to make things difficult for him again and again? Hasn't he been wronged enough? Father, you are really so partial! ”

"Bold!" Emperor Ming Yuan was furious, and as soon as he slapped the table, the tea cup on the table shook loudly.

Father-in-law Mu Ru was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, you are angry, the princess is angry for a while, you are angry!" ”

Emperor Ming Yuan's face turned pale, "Angry? Where did the royal family treat her badly? She's going to be driven to get angry? In the past, did I deal with the affairs of the princess's mansion? You said that I am embarrassed, but don't forget, you are the initiator, you are the one who has caused him, and now you are a legitimate princess of Chu, but it is cleared up, Yuan Qingling, I tell you, I really want to turn over the old accounts, and you, the princess of Chu, have to go back to her parents' house first! ”

He shouted, "Come on, take her down, lock her up first, and pass the king of Chu into the palace." ”

Outside the door, there was already a forbidden army guarding it, and when he heard Emperor Ming Yuan's order, he immediately came in.

Yuan Qingling knelt straight, stretched out his hand to support his waist slightly, took out an IOU from his sleeve pocket, put it on the ground, and then bent down to the ground, "Father, do you remember this IOU?" ”

Emperor Ming Yuan stared at her coldly, "What? Do you want to use this IOU to excuse your great rebellion or to excuse the fifth child for murder? ”

Yuan Qingling was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Please ask my father to issue a decree to divorce me." ”

Emperor Ming Yuan's last sentence actually expressed his attitude.

If he didn't want to let that Miss Hu enter the door, he would lock her up for the crime of great rebellion and force the fifth child to comply.

Instead of putting Yu Wenhao in that dilemma, it is better for her to put it forward.

She felt that at least Emperor Ming Yuan would look at the child in her womb and would not really divorce her, at most he would drive her back to her parents' house to live.

Emperor Ming Yuan's eyes were cold, and he scolded angrily: "I have already chosen a good path for you, but you have to be smart, do you think you can really spy on my mind?" For the sake of the fifth child, you are not willing to give in a little, you are not willing to sacrifice, but you keep saying that you are protecting the fifth child, isn't it ironic? In that case, you should go back to your mother's house, and when you have a child, I will order someone to take it back. ”

Yuan Qingling smiled miserably, "Daughter-in-law thanks to my father's grace!" ”

Emperor Ming Yuan ordered Mu Ru's father-in-law, "You first order someone to pass the king of Chu into the palace, and then send her out of the palace and return to the palace, watch her pack up her things and leave the palace, and do not allow her to meet the king of Chu." ”
