Chapter 51: Heavy punishment of Princess Anping
Under Chi Wanwan's careful recuperation, the emperor's body improved day by day, and his face returned to normal.
The Queen Mother gradually dispelled her suspicions about Chi Wanwan, until the emperor woke up for the first time, although the time was extremely short, the Queen Mother had already understood that Chi Wanwan was wronged.
immediately secretly began to investigate the murder of the emperor, and the words of the princess and the prince were also regarded as deaf ears, and it was over.
The Queen Mother was ashamed of Chi Wanwan, treated her better than before, and rewarded her with many precious treasures as compensation.
Until one night, Chi Wanwan arranged the emperor's hanging needle, and then went back to the dormitory to rest, but he didn't know that not long after he left, the emperor woke up leisurely.
"Someone." The emperor was weak and weak, and his voice was not loud, and no one answered this voice.
"Someone." The emperor was so angry that he directly swept the teacup next to him to the ground, and the sound of breaking made the old eunuch who was waiting in the side hall startled, and he hurriedly ran over.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are awake, our family will pour water for you."
The old eunuch's eyes were full of joy, and he hurriedly poured a glass of warm water and handed it to the emperor, thinking that the emperor would wake up for a while and fall asleep as usual, but he didn't expect the emperor to drink the water and directly motioned him to sit down.
"Tell me about what happened recently." The emperor slept for a long time, his whole body was sore, but his head was very clear, and he did not feel sleepy at all.
"Back to the emperor, those barbarians heard that the emperor was seriously ill, and they were all ready to move."
"Especially in the southwest region, the audacity openly sent troops to harass the people, and was beaten by the generals guarding the border with their troops before it stopped."
"When the barbarians in other regions learn the news, they can be considered safe, and everything else is safe and sound, and the emperor doesn't need to worry."
The old eunuch was worried about the emperor's health, so he gathered the quilt for him.
"It's good that you're out of harm, what about in the palace? Could something have happened? โ
The emperor was quite relieved, although he knew that the general who beat the barbarians was Xiao Junmo's subordinates, but in the end, there was no accident in the country.
"...... in the palace" The old eunuch hesitated.
"Say." The emperor's face was cold, and he couldn't help but worry in his heart, could it be that Xiao Junmo had made a move?
"Your Majesty, it's the princess and the crown prince." The old eunuch has served the emperor for so many years, and he still knows his thoughts, knowing that he must be suspicious of King Jingnan, and he is a little chilled for the emperor.
Those who doubt are bent on the country, but those who care always want his life.
The old eunuch informed the emperor of the process of Chi Wanwan's treatment of the emperor, including being stopped by Anping and the crown prince, being killed and imprisoned, and the queen mother asking a Taoist priest to do so.
"What do you say? The crown prince and Anping tried their best to prevent Princess Jingnan from saving me? โ
The emperor was shocked and furious, and when he was angry, he couldn't help coughing violently.
"The emperor is angry, pay attention to your body."
The old eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to give the emperor a good breath, and he also felt cold about what the prince and princess had done.
"Go down...... Let's go down. The emperor waved his hand a little dejectedly, and was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night, and the next morning, he asked the prince and Anping to be called.
"Father, how do you feel? My daughter was about to die of worry. โ
Anping didn't know why the emperor called her early in the morning, and was thinking about how to let the emperor deal with Chi Wanwan and keep her affairs.
"Worried, you're worried that I won't die, right?"
The emperor held his breath in his heart, and could not allow An Ping to refute, so he ordered directly.
"Come on, send Princess Anping back to the dormitory, confined for three months, copy the "Diamond Sutra" three hundred times, and without my permission, you must not step out of the door for half a step."
After punishing Anping, the emperor set his sights on the crown prince again.
"As the prince, he was indecisive, delayed my illness, imprisoned in the East Palace, confined for two months, and copied the Diamond Sutra 300 times, during which he was not allowed to meddle in any political affairs."
After all, it is his own children, the emperor did not make a dead move, but this move is very unfavorable to the prince, Xiao Jingce's face turned dark, the emperor wants to deprive him of his rights and give him a warning.
"Your Majesty, by all means, you are not in good health, let the prince be confined, who is in charge of the court? The emperor thought twice. โ
When the queen who arrived heard the emperor's punishment of the crown prince, she almost didn't mention it in one breath.
"Anping and the crown prince behaved like this, as their mother, you also have a great responsibility, go back and reflect well, without my permission, dare to step out of the palace half a step, I will break your legs."
After all, taking into account the relationship between husband and wife for many years, although the emperor used fierce language, he did not punish the queen in any substance.
No one was bothered anymore, so the emperor was quiet and fell asleep tiredly, only to wake up in the afternoon, and the old eunuch brought bad news.
"Your Majesty, there are crazy rumors inside and outside the palace about Princess Anping's fornication with secret guards, and if you don't deal with it, I'm afraid it will affect the princess's marriage."
The old eunuch's face was full of sadness, he was not only worried about the princess's marriage, but more importantly, the royal face, how could it become a topic of conversation for the common people after dinner?
"What do you say, fornication?! Poofโ"
The emperor was so angry that a mouthful of old blood spurted out, and his eyes rolled and fainted.
Chi Wanwan was sent urgently, and after some tossing, the emperor's mood calmed down.
She didn't expect that she would just let people pass it lightly, so that the emperor could punish An Ping and vent her anger.
I didn't expect it to be so powerful, it shouldn't be, unless...... Someone is behind to help.
Chi Wanwan was secretly happy here, and the emperor who had woken up directly ordered: "An Bian's affairs are not safe, and he will lose royal face, and he will be demoted to the lord of Anping." โ
The emperor whispered a few words in the old eunuch's ear, and Chi Wanwan was far away and didn't hear clearly, but he could probably guess that the guard would not escape death.
The matter spread, and the adults who were given the marriage were even more resentful in their hearts, and immediately found the queen.
"Queen Mother, the princess, this big Buddha, our Li family may not be able to tolerate it, or dissolve this marriage contract and return the princess to freedom."
The person who came was Li Shangshu, there were some forces in the court, and students were all over the world, otherwise, the queen would not have bothered to win him over.
"Lord Shangshu is serious, don't let some gossip outside affect the feelings of the juniors, now that the emperor's condition is improving, he will be cured in a few days."
"This palace will definitely make this family affair lively and beautiful."
The queen tried to make peace with the mud, and this marriage could not be withdrawn, otherwise with Anping's current reputation, she would never find such a good family.
"Gossip? The queen's words are wrong, if it is not for the conclusive evidence, how dare the outside world spread the royal affairs, the queen, my Li family is not blessed, it is better to dissolve this marriage contract. โ
Li Shangshu was a little angry, his Li family has been innocent for generations, and the scholar family is the most pure, wouldn't marrying such a woman go home would make the ancestors' faces shameful?
"Li Shangshu, since the juniors are affectionate, how can we be good elders to beat mandarin ducks, as a princess, aren't we qualified to enter the lintel of the Li family? Or do you want to marry a beggar? If so, we don't mind arranging it for you. โ
Seeing that Li Shangshu was stubborn and stubborn, the queen was also angry.
Li Shangshu didn't expect the queen to threaten him so much, he was resentful in his heart, but he couldn't do anything, worried that the queen would really give his son a beggar in anger, and hurriedly made amends.
The dissolution of the marriage is not over.
