Chapter 5: Framed (2)
Soon, because of rumors, the emperor summoned Huo Qingren into the palace.
Huo Qingren knelt in the imperial study and broke out in a cold sweat, and a nine-dragon aura pressed her to the point where she couldn't raise her head. The above is the emperor of the Great Zhou, the king of a country.
"You are Huo Qingren?"
"If you go back to the emperor, the courtiers will be."
"It's rumored that you and the second child are true?"
"Your Majesty, rumors are rumors, and rumors cannot be true, and they cannot be true."
The cold eyes swept over Huo Qingren, and Huo Qingren buried his head lower. "There is no wind and no waves, Huo Qingren, are you guilty?"
"The courtier's daughter is guilty."
"Then you admit it?" The emperor's voice suddenly raised his tone, and Huo Qingren hurriedly kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, the courtier's guilt is the crime of knowing that the prince's reputation is affected."
"Is this the only sin you have committed? What is your sin for letting the prince of the dynasty be disgraced? β
"Your Majesty, the courtiers really don't know about this crime. It is rumored that the courtiers and the prince have a marriage contract, but there is no holy decree to rely on. Second, there is no proof of the words of the Holy Chrysostom. So the courtiers really don't know if they are involved with the prince. "The emperor edicted Huo Qingren's intention, and Huo Qingren had already guessed it. The emperor just wanted to use this rumor to retract what he had said back then.
The emperor looked at Huo Qingren, who was kneeling below, neither humble nor arrogant, and appreciated it a little more. If she is not a waste, it is not impossible to make her a princess with her bearing.
"Then what do you think should be done about this?"
"Back to the emperor's words! The courtier's daughter saved the Jade Lord only because the courtier's father had warned the courtier, as a citizen of the Great Zhou, because she always thought about the interests of the Great Zhou. As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he was really aggrieved because of the relationship between his courtiers. β
"Isn't my prince worthy of you? Are you clean? On the one hand, the emperor's words were temptation, and on the other hand, he was angry, after all, his sons were his own good.
In Huo Qingren's opinion, the emperor is purely taking off his pants and farting, obviously he doesn't want his son to take a waste material, but he doesn't allow people to propose to dissolve the marriage contract first.
"The courtiers are afraid, but in fact, the courtiers are not talented and unworthy of His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is the foundation of the country and the future of the Great Zhou. There must be a princess who is both civil and military, and the courtiers know that they have no talent and no virtue, and they are deeply frightened. β
The emperor snorted coldly and followed her words down the steps: "I have self-knowledge." β
The emperor issued two holy decrees in a row, the first of which praised Huo Chengfeng for teaching his daughter in a good way and giving him some things. The second is to announce that the marriage between the prince and the fifth lady of the Huo family is a conjecture with intentions, intended to slander the prince and Huo Houfu. Inside and outside the imperial city, it is rigorous to catch the wind and shadows. Violators will be killed!
Slap and feed a candy, the emperor is appeasing and beating.
Huo Chengfeng wanted to kill Huo Qingren, Huo Chengfeng didn't want Huo Qingren to join the royal family on behalf of the Huo family, but he didn't want other people's daughters to marry into the royal family instead of his daughters.
As soon as Huo Chengfeng got home, he scolded Huo Qingren with his head and face, who knew that Huo Qingren asked in surprise, why didn't he, the father, stop him when the prince said that he would let her dissolve the marriage contract? Huo Chengfeng was so choked with one sentence that he had nothing to say, so he had to flick his sleeves and walk away.
Huo Qingren fell out of favor again, Huo Qingnuan, and Huo Qingxi The two sisters were like dogs that saw bones, rushing into Huo Qingren's boudoir and showing off their might.
"Hmph, garbage is garbage! deserves to be abandoned" Hmph, waste is waste! Deserved to be abandoned! β
"Oh, third sister, why do you say that someone is so thick-skinned and has been abandoned by her fiancΓ© and still has the face to live? If it were me, it would be impossible. β
Huo Qingren smiled, "The two sisters must not say this, the emperor has issued an order to clarify that I have no marriage contract with His Royal Highness the Prince, so how can I abandon it?" Did the two sisters take the emperor's decree and put it on an improper display? β
"You're just a piece of waste, really look up to you as an emperor?"
"What my sister said is that I, a waste, can be named the county lord by the emperor. It seems that the two sisters are more like waste than me! β
"You!" Huo Qingnuan was annoyed and ashamed, and wanted to beat people.
"Sister, are you going to beat me? I persuaded my sister to think about it clearly, my sister is a third-order martial artist, and I don't have half a life left if I don't die. If it is spread outside, maybe everyone thinks that the royal family ruthlessly withdrew from my marriage and caused me to die depressed, and then the emperor will thoroughly investigate for the honor of the royal family, if it is found on the heads of the two sisters, do you think you still have a life! β
"How dare you threaten me!"
"Sister, my sister is reminding you, my sister is also the county lord of the emperor's own title, and if you hit me, you will slap the emperor in the face. What to do, the two sisters are so good to think clearly! β
"Qingxi, let's go! I'll see how long she can run rampant! β
