Minister Qi was subjected to domestic violence?
The emperor was surprised. The Qi family was really full of excitement.
[Speaking of which, Minister Qi's concubine truly loved him. Most of his salary was given to Qi's mother, yet she was still willing to stay with him.]
The Fifth Princess was still immersed in the huge blow of being deceived and had no time to care about Yu Yiluo's feelings at all.
"Qi Xuan, the princess is asking you a question."
Qi Xuan glanced at Aunt Lan and said with a look of heartache: "Cousin, I don't blame you. You must take our child and live well."
He really liked his distant cousin Aunt Lan. Even though everything was revealed now, although it was heartbreaking, he just hoped that she and the child could live well.
My cousin is not involved in this and should not be implicated by him.
Although Qi Xuan did not respond to the princess, he had already acknowledged these things in disguise.
[Tsk tsk, they're still putting on a loving scene at this hour. The domestic violence man and Minister Qi are truly father and son. They both like gentle women.]
[Oh, I hope the Fifth Princess won't be puaed by the domestic violence man again, and wake up quickly! ]
[In the book, the domestic violence man's deeds were exposed. In order to protect him, the fifth princess threatened to commit suicide. In the end, she got out of control and actually killed herself.]
"Child?" Aunt Lan sneered and put her hand on her belly. "Who said this child is yours?"
"You..." Qi Xuan was stunned. "If it's not me, then whose is it?"
Qi's mother was so angry at Qi Xuan that she almost couldn't breathe. The son she raised with great effort actually disregarded his own safety for a woman.
If he doesn't deny it, it proves that what Aunt Lan said is true.
What should I do then? Torture the princess or give her contraceptive soup. Either of these two methods will cost her life.
"Who else could it be? It must be some other wild man's."
Mother Qi glared at Aunt Lan fiercely, wishing she could tear her to pieces.
"Princess, Aunt Lan always pretends to be hypocritical. Don't be fooled by her. She even dares to deceive me and Xuan'er, let alone you." Mother Qi provoked.
The fifth princess felt it was ironic. She had just tried to excuse Qi Xuan, but ended up getting no thanks. Now Qi Xuan was willing to admit everything he had done to her for Aunt Lan.
But Qi's mother, whom she had wanted to please before, turned around and tried to please her.
She lowered her eyes, and two years of grievances and forbearance completely erupted at this moment.
"Shut up," the fifth princess roared, not caring whether the emperor was there or not. She walked up to Qi Xuan and slapped him hard several times.
"You deserve it," he said, and then kicked him again before stopping.
[Wow, the Fifth Princess's little universe is exploding. That's right. Why does she have to suffer the hardship of love when there are so many other hardships to endure?]
The emperor was also stunned, but at the same time somewhat relieved. If the fifth princess continued to make excuses for Qi Xuan, he planned to use a stick to make her sober up.
[Luckily, the Fifth Princess came to her senses quickly, otherwise the tyrant would have surely punished her with a beating.]
The fifth princess was glad that her father would indeed do so.
The first time he asked for an official position for Qi Xuan, he was beaten by his father.
The fake charlatan who was left aside didn't dare to say a word, and prayed in his heart that the others would finish their words quickly so that they could deal with him.
"Father," the Fifth Princess pursed her lips and knelt before the Emperor, "I was foolish before. I disobeyed you for someone like you. I beg for your punishment."
The emperor didn't look at her, but at Qi Xuan and Qi's mother. "Come here, take them both to the Dali Temple and execute them on a certain day."
"Behead...behead him?" Qi's mother was so frightened that she couldn't speak clearly.
"Master, please save me." She tried to break free from the guards who were holding her, but it was no use.
[You weren't like this when you were domestically abusing someone, and now you're trying to beg them for mercy.]
Minister Qi knew that even if he was not involved, the emperor would inevitably suspect him.
He didn't care about saving face, and said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, it's not surprising that this vicious woman would do such a thing. She even beat me. You should quickly have them beheaded."
As for his son, he had been spoiled and he was too lazy to take care of him anymore.
His son clearly witnessed this vicious woman beating him before, but he said he wanted to divorce her. Not only did his son not help him, he also accused him of beating the vicious woman.
If he hadn't felt embarrassed to tell anyone, he would have wanted the emperor to kick the two out on his behalf.
"Dad," Qi Xuan felt that everything was over after hearing this. His cousin's child was not his, the princess and his father would not help him, and his mother was also implicated.
"Don't call me," Minister Qi looked away.
"Why aren't you taking them away?" Eunuch Cao looked at the stunned guards. They came to their senses and hurriedly dragged Qi's mother and Qi Xuan out.
The two were taken away and the room became quiet instantly.
[Did the tyrant forget about that fake charlatan? He was almost dozing off while eating melon.]
The emperor had indeed forgotten about this person, and only remembered him after she reminded him.
The fake charlatan felt the emperor's gaze on him and quickly knelt down.
"Come here, drag this deceiving fake charlatan out and give him twenty lashes of the cane, so that he won't come out and cause trouble to others in the future."
"Your Majesty, this is the first time I have pretended to be a Taoist priest. I will never dare to do it again. If you want to beat me, go ahead."
After punishing the fake charlatan, the emperor ordered people to inspect the Qi Mansion and deal with Minister Qi separately.
Then he looked at Aunt Lan and said, "If what you said is true, even if Qi Xuan raped me, I will have someone investigate and set you free."
Aunt Lan was moved to tears, as this allowed her to be with her beloved openly in the future.
"Get up," the emperor said after dealing with a few people and looked at the fifth princess. "Qi Mansion is not a place for you to stay. Move back to the princess's residence immediately."
The fifth princess, who was thinking this, stood up and expressed her gratitude.
"Father, I have some unfinished business. I will return to the Princess's residence once I have finished."
…
After the emperor left, the fifth princess walked up to Aunt Lan and thanked him sincerely.
"Thank you for helping me see Qi Xuan clearly. I was too irrational before and misunderstood your good intentions."
Aunt Lan shook her head. "Princess, there's no need to thank me. I know how difficult it is for you and how much you've endured. You were just deceived by him."
She also had her own selfish motives. She had endured for two years just for this moment, and it was all for the princess.
Seeing her sincerity, the fifth princess felt a little ashamed.
Aunt Lan had reminded her before, but she thought she was showing off. Now it seems that Aunt Lan is just like her, a poor person who was schemed by the Qi family.
"Princess, go back and apply some medicine," Aunt Lan took out a porcelain bottle and handed it to her. "You have the Emperor's support. If you have any questions in the future, just tell the Emperor directly."
Having said this, Aunt Lan left the yard.
The Fifth Princess watched her departing figure and ran after her, "Don't worry, Father will definitely give you freedom."
The two smiled at each other, both with relaxed expressions on their faces.
The emperor had just taken Qi Xuan and his mother to the Dali Temple when Prince Yueqing received the news.
He sneered, picked up the tea, shook it gently, and then put it down.
"What a great opportunity! You investigated Minister Qi before, and now it seems it wasn't all in vain."
The subordinate asked, "But Minister Qi didn't do anything wrong in his work."
