Chapter Seventy-Three: Ding Tian Enters the Palace
On the Hanyuan Palace, Emperor Jing seemed to be ten years old all of a sudden, sitting on the dragon chair with a dim gaze.
He was weak, and the court officials in a low voice said, "Fu Hongyao, the king of Qi, has no royal law, and regards the people and the imperial power as nothing. Passing on my will, from now on, the title of Prince Fu Hongyao will be stripped off, demoted to a concubine, and sent to Zong *** to be imprisoned. All those involved in this case will be sent to Dali Temple Prison, and those who are close to King Qi will be sentenced to death with their heads executed."
Many officials in the court had been held hostage by the King of Qi, and when they heard Emperor Jing's verdict, they couldn't help but feel happy.
"Your Majesty!"
Emperor Jing lowered his eyes and waved his hand at Kou Huai, who immediately shouted, "Retreat!"
Sending his own son to prison with his own hands is extremely painful for a father.
Emperor Jing was helped into the side hall, Fu Xuanlin looked up at his somewhat hunchbacked figure under the hug, and suddenly for a moment the resentment against him dissipated a lot.
Rain trickles down from under the eaves.
Emperor Jing stood under the pavilion corridor and reached out to catch the raindrops, and the cold meaning invaded his palm.
"The Son does not teach, but the Father is guilty. As a father, I don't want to be so ruthless, but as the Son of Heaven, I must not tolerate my adopted daughter."
Kou Huai draped his robe on Emperor Jing's shoulders, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, and he is the Emperor of Ming, and now he is already benevolent and righteous."
Emperor Jing lowered his hand, and the raindrops slid down his fingertips.
"I heard that Hu Jieyu cried and fainted in the palace, fainted and cried, and her body was not as good as before. Let Xu'er accompany his mother more, and now his mother is the only son of him."
"Yes, the old slave will make it clear to His Royal Highness King Jane."
On the other side, inside the Hanshan Palace.
Hu Jieyu's eyes were red and swollen from crying, her originally thin body was now in shape, and her entire face was almost covered with skin and bones, and she couldn't see a trace of her original appearance.
Fu Rinxu took a bowl of soup, scooped up a spoonful, blew it and sent it to Hu Jieyu's mouth.
"Mother, you can eat something first."
Hu Jieyu turned her head away, and two lines of tears fell from her eyes.
"I can't eat it. My Yao'er, he has not yet married a wife and had children, and he ended up like this. Your father is really hard-hearted, he is your father's own son."
"The father is not wrong, but the fourth brother made a mistake."
Hearing Fu Rinxu say this, Hu Jieyu pushed him with all her might, but she was already as thin as firewood, and even with all her strength, Fu Rinxu still didn't move.
"You erector, that's your own brother!"
"The righteous killing of relatives by the father is the act of the emperor, and the son, as a prince, should be of the same heart as his father."
Hu Jieyu stretched out her fingers and tore her throat, and her green muscles burst out and shouted at him, "Get out! Get the hell out of here! Don't step into my Hanshan Hall again, I don't want to see you!"
Fu Rinxu calmly put the bowl aside, then got up and saluted Hu Jieyu.
"Please also ask the mother to drink all the soup, and the son will come to visit the mother tomorrow."
Fu Rinxu withdrew from the hall and walked lonely into the rain.
Since she was a child, Hu Jieyu has loved Fu Hongyao even more, just because Hu Jieyu has been suppressed by the queen, and Fu Hongyao was occasionally favored by Emperor Jing, so Hu Jieyu put all her hopes of turning over on Fu Hongyao's body.
On the other hand, Fu Rinxu has always been a non-fighter, no grabbing, and no rising.
This is naturally not valued and loved by Hu Jieyu.
There was a howling cry from the Hanshan Palace, "God, why did you take my Yao'er away from me! Why don't you reduce that waste to a common people...... My Yao'er, my child......
The rain raged on Fu Rinxu's face, and for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was tears or rain.
Even if Fu Hongyao is demoted to a commoner, he is still the superfluous one.
As soon as King Qi's case came to an end, Zhan Xinglan went to Jingzhao Mansion Prison to pick up Ding Weipingsi.
Ding Wei's father and daughter were finally able to meet, and Pingsi's mother was also sick and healthy under Zhan Xinglan's help and care.
The next day, in the flower hall of Lingwangfu, the three of them knelt down and saluted Zhan Xinglan.
"The princess is a living bodhisattva, and you have the grace to recreate us!"
Zhan Xinglan hurriedly helped them up.
"The unjust women of the world are in charge, and I am just doing my best, please hurry up."
Ding Wei wiped the two lines of tears on his cheeks and said to Zhan Xinglan, "Princess Niangniang, we are willing to swear allegiance to Princess Niangniang!"
"Are you two willing to stay in the capital after all the hardships?"
"The princess and our mother have a great kindness, how can we leave here. We have neither knowledge nor other skills, and the only thing we can do is this life. If the princess doesn't dislike it, our lives will be the princess's in the future."
Ding Wei and Heping are all big bosses, but they are good and loyal.
But the capital is turbulent, and Zhan Xinglan doesn't want them to get involved in any more turmoil.
Just when she wanted to refuse, Ding Tian stepped forward and held her hand.
Ding Tian's little face pursed, "Sister Xinglan doesn't want sweetness?"
Zhan Xinglan saw that she was so cute and pitiful, and suddenly her heart softened.
She gently stroked Ding Tian's head and whispered softly, "How can Sister Xinglan be reluctant not to be sweet? Na Tian'er told Sister Xinglan, are you willing to be Sister Xinglan's personal maid?"
"Tian'er is willing, and Tian'er is also like her father and Uncle Pingsi, swearing allegiance to Sister Xinglan to the death."
Ding Tian's round eyes flashed with determination.
"Ding Wei, Ping Si, you are willing to enter the Ling Palace, as a gardener. Although tired and bitter, it can ensure that food and clothing are worry-free. Sweet can also bear the joy of the knees, so it is also appropriate."
Ding Weiping immediately knelt down excitedly: "Thank you, princess!"
In this way, everything is happy, but there is a doubt in Fu Xuanlin's heart.
Under the corridor not far from the flower hall, Fu Xuanlin stared at Zhan Xinglan, who was laughing and laughing with Ding Tian, "Baili, can you find out who rescued Ding Tian and the other little girls?"
"The subordinates couldn't find out, but they only knew that they were rescued by a group of people with strong martial arts, and these little girls were all rescued in Chongyin Temple to avoid trouble. Only Ding Tian was hidden, and it was also arranged by the princess."
"There is no shortage of masters in the Ming Mansion, but the Ming Mansion Wei has always been only available to the Ming Kingdom, even if it is the daughter of the Ming Kingdom, it is not possible to call it at will, then this master must be someone else."
"Does the prince suspect that the princess has another power?"
"Otherwise, how can we explain that Ding Tian and the others were rescued unscathed, as well as the bizarre fire in the Qi Palace's mansion and the evidence of the Qi King's crimes."
"The fire in the Qi Palace, wasn't it caused by Zhu Yan, the pawn of the Qi Palace?"
"Everyone thought that Zhu Yan betrayed Fu Hongyao, and he wanted to use this fire to let the world discover Fu Hongyao's crime. But he has followed Fu Hongyao since he was nine years old, and he is Fu Hongyao's most trusted confidant, he will never betray Fu Hongyao, how could he inform the princess of the place where Fu Hongyao placed the evidence of the crime, and how could he go to the Qi Palace. What we can see is what the princess wants us to see."
Bai Limo couldn't help but sigh: "The princess's scheming is really unfathomable, she can control everything quietly and easily bring down King Qi."
"Baili, go and invite Ke Xianggong."
"Yes."
Bailimo stepped back quickly.
The flowers outside the corridor exuded the fragrance of earth, and Fu Xuanlin smelled the fragrance deeply, but his heart was not calm.
From the day Zhan Xinglan led him into the game, he knew that under Zhan Xinglan's intelligent appearance, there was still a veil of mystery.
It's just that this veil, he hopes that Zhan Xinglan can unveil it to him personally.
Zhan Xinglan ordered Zhu Huan to settle Ding Wei and Pingsi, and then led Ding Tian to wander around the courtyard.
"Tian'er, Sister Xinglan has a few words to tell you. In the future, you will be Sister Xinglan's sister and Princess Ling's personal maid. If only Sister Zhuhuan and Brother Qingchen were present, Tian'er would call my sister. But if outsiders are present, Tian'er has to call Sister Xinglan as the princess, understand?"
"Tian'er knows. That if
It's my sister's husband here, what should Tian'er call my sister?"
Zhan Xinglan was choked by the question for a while, she didn't seem to know how to define whether Fu Xuanlin was an outsider or her own.
Ding Tian saw that Zhan Xinglan didn't speak, and pinched her hand with her little finger, "Sister, just now in the flower hall, Tian'er saw that His Royal Highness King Ling had been looking at his sister without even blinking his eyes, he must have liked his sister very much."
Zhan Xinglan was taken aback, and asked with a smile, "Tian'er is young, do you know what it means to like it?" How can you tell that he likes his sister so much?"
Tian'er blinked and said with a smile: "Brother Qingchen said that if you like it, you want to look at each other all the time, and as long as you see each other, you will be happy. His Royal Highness King Ling has been staring at his sister, doesn't he like his sister very much?"
Zhan Xinglan said in his heart: "This Ah Chen, what does Tian'er teach on weekdays."
She stopped and squatted down to look up at Ding Tian, and reached out to gently comb the broken hair around her ear for her.
"Tian'er, my sister has one more thing to tell you. No matter where you are, you can't easily mention Brother Qingchen, you know?"
"Brother Qingchen told Tian'er, and Tian'er understood." Ding Tian nodded obediently, but she was a little distressed, "Then Tian'er won't be able to see Brother Qingchen in the future?"
"Of course you can, Qianerzhuang will always be Tian'er's home."
Ding Tian's little face immediately raised a smile, and two small pear vortices dotted her already cute face, making Zhan Xinglan love her even more.
Suddenly, an untimely person appeared and shattered the moment.
"Princess Niangniang, you let the maid find it easy."
Zhan Xinglan's doting smile instantly dissipated, and was replaced by a fake smile.
"Epiphany? Do you have something to do with this princess?"
Ding Tian looked at the change in Zhan Xinglan's expression, and immediately understood that her sister didn't like this woman named Tan Xiang.
Tan Xiang bowed slightly, and said respectfully, "Princess Niangniang, the little lady of the Qiu family is visiting."
"Where is Autumn Lady now?"
"Waiting in the front hall."
"This princess knows, you go down and get busy."
Zhan Xinglan stood up and took Ding Tian's hand as he spoke.
But Tan Xiang was still standing in place, as if she still had something to say.
"Anything else?"
"Forgive the maid for saying a lot, the princess is now noble, so it's better not to have too close relationships with the untouchables."
The untouchables in Tan Xiang's mouth undoubtedly refer to Ding Tian and Ding Weipingsi.
The smirk on Zhan Xinglan's face instantly froze.
She protected Ding Tian behind her, and replied unceremoniously: "It turns out that Her Royal Highness the Queen teaches the palace maids in this way on weekdays, not only belittling my long-cherished people, but also teaching the master to do things here."
Tan Xiang lowered her body, but her tone was not afraid, "The maid doesn't dare, the maid is also thinking about the princess." Her Royal Highness said that this little lady's father is a gangster who kidnapped you, and it may be against you again no matter what. I also ask the princess to get these three out of the palace as soon as possible."
Zhan Xinglan frowned, and was about to speak, but felt the small hand in his palm slip out.
Ding Tian stepped forward and owed, "Since Sister Tan Xiang is the maid of King Ling's mansion, she should listen to the words of His Royal Highness King Ling and the princess. Tian'er, her father, and Uncle Pingsi are all very cruel to the princess, and they will never show others to fake the tiger like Sister Tanxiang."
Tan Xiang never thought that she would be ridiculed by such a little girl.
She was instantly annoyed and angry, raised her hand and slapped Ding Tian.
