Chapter 340: Treat Everyone Equally
The hall was so quiet that you could almost hear a pin drop.
The eunuch standing next to him didn't dare to take a breath. Everyone knelt on the ground, trying to shrink their presence.
Emperor Qingren would have no time to look at the others, he just stared at Ming Yue's face.
"What are you talking about?"
I said. Please let my father demote me to a commoner. β
Ming Yue's face was frank, his expression was calm, and his eyes were clear. It can be seen that he is not joking, he is serious.
"You-"
Ming Yue stood still, the girl he liked, he was naturally confident.
It doesn't matter if he's a prince or a commoner. He believed that Xia Qingtong's heart for him would not change.
Emperor Qingren looked at Ming Yue, this son, who was born rebellious.
He closed his eyes suddenly, and his hand on the edge of the desk was already bruised.
Shang Mingyue didn't know repentance at all, and he looked like he was right. He suddenly nodded vigorously.
"Good. Very good. β
Xu was so angry that Emperor Qingren's voice trembled a little.
"You've got stiff wings, and you know you're coming to threaten me."
Ming Yue's expression remained unchanged: "Erchen doesn't dare." What the son said and asked for came from the heart. After all, what the son can do for his father is only this matter. β
"Good. Very good. Emperor Qingren said a few good words in a row.
Finally, he turned to the palace people beside him: "Grinding ink." β
He picked up the pen and looked at Ming Yue: "Since you want to be a commoner so much." Then I will fulfill you. β
The palace people's hands were shaking. Emperor Qingren seemed to be serious, picked up the pen and began to write.
Ming Yue watched Qingren put down his pen. He wasn't angry, he wasn't angry.
He had only one feeling. Waited so long. This day has finally come.
Emperor Gyeongin's edict was written quickly. Abolish Ming Yue's identity and demote him to a common man is only a few words.
After the decree is written, and the jade seal is stamped, the decree is considered effective.
Emperor Qingren had already picked up the jade seal and was about to cover it with the holy decree.
"Your Majesty. The eldest princess asks to see her. β
Emperor Qingren's stamping movement paused for a moment, and he turned to look at Ming Yue.
"Do you think that if you call the eldest princess, you will be able to protect you?"
Ming Yue's expression remained unchanged: "Father, I don't need anyone to protect me." If you want to make an order, just do it. β
Emperor Qingren nodded heavily: "Okay." It's your own request.
"Your Majestyβ"
The voice of the eldest princess Fuyi sounded, and she had already entered the palace without being stopped by anyone.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Ming Yue left.
The palace people in the palace were called away by Emperor Qingren.
The eldest princess of Fuyi looked at the wolf on the ground, and then looked at Emperor Qingren, who was much older than more than ten years ago.
She knew that some things were Emperor Qingren's family affairs.
But she couldn't help it. Especially when she accidentally saw the unfolded decree, which almost shocked her.
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"
"Just like you see."
"You, you want to degrade Mingyue as a concubine?"
The eldest princess of Fuyi's voice raised by one degree: "Your Majesty, do you know what you are doing?" β
"Of course I do."
Emperor Qingren looked at this imperial sister whom he had always respected, and reluctantly had the mind to explain.
"I should have given this decree more than ten years ago."
The eldest princess of Fuyi was stunned for a moment, and there was a flash of gloom in her eyes.
"Your Majesty. After all these years, why can't you just let go? β
"Drop?" Emperor Qingren sneered: "There are some things that I can't let go." β
"So you can do this, to hurt the child born to the only woman you really love?"
The eldest princess of Fuyi took a step forward, propped her hands on the desk, and did not show the slightest surprise in the eyes of Emperor Shangqingren.
"Nope. The only woman who ever betrayed me. β
When Emperor Qingren said the word betrayal, he still had a bit of a gritted tooth.
"You-"
The eldest princess of Fuyi has always known how stubborn Emperor Qingren is, but she didn't expect that after more than ten years, he was still like this, and he didn't doubt it at all, and he didn't reflect at all.
"Your Majesty. I'll say something you don't like to hear. I said these things more than ten years ago, and I still want to say them more than ten years later. β
"Since you know I don't like to hear it, I don't need to say it."
"Nope." The eldest princess of Fuyi will never back down in this regard: "At the beginning, people Pan Xue had a fiancΓ©, and it was you who snatched people into the palace. You had to take her. But when you pushed Ha'er away, you accepted Bai Panxue into the palace, what did you do? β
didn't give Emperor Qingren a chance to speak, every word that Princess Fuyi said was loud.
"There are so many women around you. At that time, when you wanted to take Pan Xue into the palace, I was very opposed. But what do you say? You have repeatedly said that you want to be good to her, saying that you will take good care of her, but haven't you thought that in fact, you are the one who hurt her the most? β
"You-" Emperor Qingren's face was ugly.
"Do you remember that you said to me, don't just look at the surface? What kind of person is Pan Xue. You should know better than I do. Would someone like her really go behind your back to have an affair with another man when she was with you? β
"If she really is that kind of person, then how could you love her so much in the first place, love her to death? Even married her despite the opposition of her father and queen mother? β
"Don't talk about it." Emperor Qingren didn't want to hear it anymore.
"Your Majesty." The eldest princess of Fuyi and Emperor Qingren grew up together since childhood, and they are very good for this younger brother who has become an emperor. I couldn't know better.
"Mingyue is a good boy. What's more, he is also your own flesh and blood. Even if you can't treat him as your most beloved son and cultivate him well, you shouldn't just rashly say anything about demoting him to a commoner. Your Majesty, you are so hasty, how can you be worthy of the spirit of Panxue in the sky? β
"That's enough."
"She betrayed me. You know. β
"I don't know." The eldest princess of Fuyi didn't want to continue the topic: "I only know that Bai Panxue, who I know, will never be able to do something like that." β
Emperor Qingren sat back in his chair weakly. The holy decree was still there, and he watched as the eldest princess of Fuyi put it away and put it aside.
"Your Majesty, if a person is not a sage, who can be without fault? I'm here to stop you today. It's not wanting to regret it one day. β
Emperor Qingren didn't speak, he sat there in a daze. The whole person is as if all his strength has been drained.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
When Ming Yue came out of the hall, he was already ready. Emperor Qingren always disliked him.
This time, he probably couldn't avoid it. But he doesn't care.
When he returned home, he was still thinking, or it wouldn't be long before Emperor Qingren's will came down.
However, when it was evening, I did not wait for the Holy Decree.
Emperor Qingren seems to have forgotten about this. And it was just nightfall. He was still waiting for the holy decree, but he waited for a returnee.
"Your Highness. What you asked me to investigate. There are already eyebrows. β
With the sound of his subordinates, the man handed over a box.
The box was opened. Inside was a badge.
