Chapter 98: Yong'an Marquis Mansion committed a serious mistake and was immediately stripped of his title
"Siqiong! My Siqiong, why have you become like this?" The Marquis's wife was in tears and her body was shaking.
At this moment, Marquis Yong'an seemed to have just woken up from a dream, feeling both heartbroken and shocked.
"Si Qiong! How could you do such a thing?"
"Over the years, your mother and I have carefully raised you, hoping that you would become a lady from a noble family. How could you...how did you become like this?"
"Even at this point, you still don't repent and even want to put the blame on your mother. You really disappoint me!"
Marquis Yong'an shook his head repeatedly, and his eyes turned red.
The back, which had always been straight, was now hunched.
His body swayed, he turned to face the emperor, and knelt on the ground.
Just by hearing that sound, many people felt pain in their legs.
The ground is paved with hard bluestone. It must be so painful to kneel down like this!
Marquis Yong'an seemed to feel no pain at all. He crawled on the ground, his body trembling slightly.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"Although Si Qiong made a serious mistake, she has called me father for so many years, and I have always loved her as my own daughter. I can't bear to ignore her!"
"Fortunately, it was discovered early, and nothing serious happened. I beg Your Majesty to spare Siqiong's life!"
"Li'er wasn't even born back then, so she had no control over anything. Over the years, she never knew the true story. Your Majesty, please forgive her for her youth and innocence!"
The Emperor lowered his eyes and looked at the Marquis of Yong'an expressionlessly, "According to you, this matter is just going to be forgotten? Lin Siqiong has played tricks on me and the people of the world. She has committed such a huge mistake, and you're just going to forget it?"
With her as an example, everyone can make mistakes in the future? Everyone can do whatever they want? Then what is the point of having laws? What is the point of having me as the emperor?
The more the emperor spoke, the sterner his voice became, and the more violently the Yong'an Marquis's body trembled.
His previous trembling was mostly fake, but now Marquis Yong'an was really scared.
He had originally wanted to beg for mercy and gain a reputation as a kind father, but now it seemed like he had done something counterproductive.
Just as I was thinking of making some excuses, I heard the emperor speak again.
"Since you're pleading for them so much, I think you've really developed some feelings for each other over the years. If that's the case, it's not impossible for the father to take the blame for the daughter."
Yong'an Hou's heart skipped a beat and he subconsciously raised his head, "Your Majesty——"
"The Yong'an Marquisate has committed a grave offense and will be stripped of its title immediately."
Yong'an Hou... no, it should be said that Lin Yan turned pale as paper after hearing this, and sweat broke out in his sweat. "Your Majesty! You——"
"The imperial decree has been issued and cannot be changed." The emperor interrupted Lin Yan again, and the look in his eyes when he looked at him was filled with murderous intent.
Lin Yan was frightened by this look, as if someone was strangling him, and he could no longer utter a word.
Madam Hou...now Madam Lin.
Mrs. Lin's body softened and she fell to the ground.
She has been enjoying a glorious life for most of her life, especially in recent years, and because of Lin Ruoli, she is praised wherever she goes.
Now I suddenly fell from a high position and almost fainted.
Lin Siqiong slowly closed her eyes, tears rolling down her cheeks.
Although she looked sad, Lin Siqiong felt relieved in her heart.
The emperor had promised to let Marquis Yong'an take the blame for her, so her life and Li'er's life were saved.
As for the future...as long as she doesn't die, everything can start over.
Yu Tingwan and Yu Youning, mother and daughter, took away everything that belonged to her and Li'er. She would never let them have an easy time!
There is still a long way to go, so what does a temporary win or loss matter?
After dealing with the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, the emperor looked at the Supervisor.
Only a short while had passed, and the Supervisor looked much older.
The emperor did not say what he was about to say after seeing the supervisor's expression.
It’s not that he couldn’t bear to say it, but there was no need.
Judging from the prison guard's condition, he will probably die before tonight.
"Take the warden away and keep him under guard. No one is allowed to approach."
As soon as the emperor said this, someone came forward and took the supervisor away.
The farce came to an end.
As for whether Lin Ruoli and Lin Siqiong, mother and daughter, had birthmarks on their arms, no one cared anymore.
Everyone in the Lin family was taken out of the palace directly, and the others also withdrew.
Huo Qingchen didn't want to leave, he still wanted to talk to Yu Youning!
He didn't get to say a word to Yu Youning the whole day.
He now has a lot of questions to ask Yu Youning.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, Huo Yun'an covered it tightly with his big hand.
Huo Yun'an covered his brother's mouth with one hand and held him in his arms with his other arm.
Huo Qingchen struggled constantly, but couldn't break free and was taken away.
Wei Zhao looked at Yu Youning deeply, then retreated with the others.
He really didn't expect that Yu Youning's identity was so complicated.
But this is a good thing for him.
The more powerful she is, the more she can help him.
He had to go back and prepare some more delicious food so that she would agree to help...
Before long, the square that was once crowded with people became empty.
Apart from the emperor, empress and Chu Huaixu, the only people still left here were those related to Yu Youning.
The queen originally liked Yu Youning, and now she looked at Yu Youning with even more eager eyes.
She walked to Yu Youning and slowly squatted down, "Youning, thank you."
"Thank me?" Yu Youning tilted her head. "Why?"
"Ever since Xu'er met you, his health has been getting better and better. It was you who saved him. I didn't know this before and thanked the wrong person. I'm really ashamed..."
Yu Youning waved her hands generously, "It's okay! Auntie, you don't know! My mother said that ignorance is not a crime!"
"Your mother is right." The queen's voice was as gentle as water. She raised her hand and gently touched Yu Youning's face.
She really wanted to say that why not just arrange the marriage between Yu Youning and Chu Huaixu, so that she wouldn't have to worry about Chu Huaixu's health anymore.
But when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back.
Yu Youning's maternal grandfather is the owner of Penglai Island. If he wants to get Yu Youning and Chu Huaixu engaged, it is not enough to just issue an imperial decree.
Thinking that Yu Youning and Chu Huaixu had always gotten along well and had a good relationship, and that they spent a lot of time together, the queen felt a little more at ease.
It doesn’t matter if I can’t grant you the marriage directly, then let Xu’er and Youning develop their relationship on their own!
They are both still young. They will go to school together, study together, play together, and grow up like childhood sweethearts. Isn't it natural for them to be together in the future?
At this time, the queen never thought that Chu Huaixu was not the only childhood sweetheart who grew up with Yu Youning.
The Emperor also looked deeply at Yu Youning, and then looked at Yu Mubai, "Island Master, I am also at fault in this matter. My management of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory was too lax, which allowed the bad guys to take advantage of it, resulting in Youning's fate being stolen. I will compensate Youning well."
They are all thousand-year-old foxes. Even though the words were as roundabout as the eighteen bends in the mountain road, Yu Mubai still understood what the emperor meant.
The emperor was secretly reminding him that Yu Youning was the girl of destiny and the best candidate for the Crown Princess.
Yu Mubai smiled and said, "Your Majesty, there's no need to take all the blame on yourself. Your Majesty is so busy with so many things that it's normal for him not to have investigated and discovered something. Besides, this incident didn't have any impact on Youning."
Hearing this, the emperor could hardly smile.
It has little impact on Yu Youning, but it has a huge impact on the prince!
The prince's life now hangs on Yu Youning's hands!
Unfortunately, he couldn't force the marriage and could only find another way to keep Yu Youning.
"It's getting late now. Why don't you take Youning back to Penglai Pavilion to rest first? We can discuss other matters tomorrow."
Yu Mubai nodded with a smile, "Then I'll obey the emperor."
As they were talking, they looked at Yu Youning and Chu Huaixu at the same time. They saw that Chu Huaixu was holding an open purse in his hand, and Yu Youning was taking out preserved fruits from it and eating them. She was smiling while eating, and her eyes were crescent-shaped, which was very cute.
Seeing this scene, the emperor finally felt relieved.
He is indeed his good son!
So smart!
Before he, the father, could come up with a solution, he had already made the other person smile.
Yu Mubai naturally saw this scene as well, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
My granddaughter is good in every way, except that she is a little too greedy.
If I had good teeth, I could even pick up the table legs and take a few bites.
This might be the reincarnation of Taotie!
In the end, Yu Tingwan cried out, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Youning, it's getting late, let's go back and rest!"
"good!"
Yu Youning responded with her mouth, but her eyes were still fixed on the purse in Chu Huaixu's hand.
Chu Huaixu immediately handed the purse to Yu Youning, "Youning, take it home and eat it. Remember to rinse your mouth before going to bed. Preserved fruit is too sweet and can easily damage your teeth. If your teeth are damaged, you won't be able to eat delicious food in the future."
Yu Youning hadn't taken it seriously at first, but when he heard this, his expression instantly turned serious, "I will definitely rinse my mouth!"
If we don't let her eat, what fun is there in life?
Yu Mubai bent down and picked up Yu Youning, and went to Penglai Pavilion with the others.
Yu Youning did not struggle, but sat obediently on Yu Mubai's arm, still eating the candied fruit happily.
As they walked further and further away until they disappeared, the Emperor immediately ordered, "Tell the Imperial Kitchen to prepare more preserved fruits and meat snacks, replace them daily, and put them in a purse for the Crown Prince to carry with him."
The emperor looked at Chu Huaixu earnestly and said, "Xu'er, there's only so much your father and mother can do to help you. Ultimately, you still have to rely on yourself!"
Chu Huaixu nodded seriously, "Father, I know!"
It was very late at night and everyone was asleep. Yu Youning had already fallen into a deep sleep.
Yu Tingwan sat by the bed, looking at Yu Youning's sleeping little face, feeling very complicated.
Wen Shiyan pushed the door open and saw this scene. He walked forward and gently put his arm around Yu Tingwan's shoulders.
