Concubine Duan closed her eyes. If her son was not so young and if he was not the kind of person who could control his mind, she would not have kept it secret from him all this time.
However, she didn't expect that as soon as she told him the truth, her affair with Ji Zhonghai was exposed.
Even though Emperor Donglin already knew about the affair, seeing how useless Xiao Wenhang was, he was really a hopeless case.
Just like his cowardly father, how could she be so blind to find such a man?
"No, no, no... I... I'm not... Father... I'm not!" Xiao Wenhang shook his head and looked at Emperor Donglin expectantly, "Father, I'm not a bastard, I'm your son!"
“Lululu!” Xiao Ruoyi made a cute face at Xiao Wenhang, “You are not! Your father is this bad guy! You are still kneeling in front of my father and begging for mercy! Hehehehe…”
"Shut up! Cough cough cough..." Xiao Wenhang was so angry that he yelled at Xiao Ruoyi, but because it was too loud, he couldn't help coughing.
Seeing Xiao Wenhang coughing up blood, Xiao Ruoyi gloated even more, "Hahaha, the bad guy deserves it!"
Xiao Wenhang was so angry that he pointed at Xiao Ruoyi with trembling fingers, "You you you..."
"If you dare point at Yiyi like that again, I'll chop off your fingers!"
...
...
Emperor Donglin's eyes became fierce and his voice was filled with a strong chill, which frightened Xiao Wenhang so much that he subconsciously withdrew his fingers and looked at Emperor Donglin with grievance.
"Father...Father!"
"Shut up! You bastard, you have no right to call me father!"
Emperor Donglin's words immediately infuriated Xiao Wenhang so much that he almost fainted.
Emperor Donglin snorted coldly, "You should thank me for allowing your family of three to finally be reunited openly and honestly!"
Xiao Ruoyi looked at the family of three kneeling on the ground and sighed deeply, "Alas, I wanted to take revenge myself in the future! According to my father's character, he will definitely kill the bastard Old Four!"
Emperor Donglin smiled slightly. He would naturally satisfy the little girl's request, but now was not the time to tell her.
After sentencing them, he would tell her. The little girl would definitely be surprised and would love him as her father even more!
By then, their Donglin Kingdom will definitely not be destroyed!
Emperor Donglin's face became serious. He felt that these people really polluted his eyes, and gave the order in a cold voice.
"Drag him away! No one is allowed to approach without my order!"
The secret guard wanted to step forward and grab Duanpin's arm, but Duanpin shook her arm and said, "I can walk by myself!"
As she spoke, Concubine Duan stood up shakily, looked at Emperor Donglin proudly, and smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, when did you know this?"
Xiao Ruoyi also tilted her head and looked at Emperor Donglin curiously, [Yes, I want to know too! The book clearly doesn't mention knowing the Fourth Prince's life experience! ]
Emperor Donglin: "..." I will never tell you that I just listened to my little girl's thoughts.
"If you don't want others to know, then don't do it yourself!"
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do with me?"
The Donglin Emperor sneered, "You should have thought about the consequences of cheating on me!"
Concubine Duan closed her eyes in pain and despair, with a look of understanding and regret on her face.
Although Emperor Donglin wanted to be a wise ruler, he was called a tyrant for a reason. If he was cuckolded, it would definitely mean more than just sending the three of them to hell.
Well, that’s fine. If she could send her opportunistic father away, it wouldn’t matter. But Concubine Duan was extremely sad that her own child was innocently implicated.
As expected, Emperor Donglin said something that chilled Concubine Duan to the core, "This is a great opportunity, why don't you and your family of three have a good time together!"
So, Concubine Duan, Ji Zhonghai and the unconscious Xiao Wenhang were taken away.
Xiao Ruoyi pouted her lips, her chubby, tender and cute face was filled with deep regret and pity, [Oh, if I wasn't sleepy, I would have wanted to see how the three of them would turn against each other and shirk responsibility! It must be very exciting! ]
Emperor Donglin was amused. He didn't expect that the little girl would be so gossipy!
Since the little girl wants to hear gossip, let the secret guard keep an eye on her. When the little girl wants to hear it later, you can tell her.
(Secret Guard: "Your Majesty, so you are this kind of emperor! Is it really okay for you to dote on your daughter like this? Aren't you afraid of being labeled a tyrant?")
Having solved a major problem, Emperor Donglin was in a good mood. He looked at Xiao Ruoyi in his arms with concern, "Yiyi, it's getting late, let's go back!"
Xiao Ruoyi opened her little mouth and yawned, "Yeah! Go home early, mom will be worried!"
[Ah, damn, it’s time to go to bed so soon! I can’t even watch the show properly. The child’s health is really holding me back! ]
Xiao Ruoyi is still a little baby now, and her body's instinct makes her have no energy to think about other things. She just wants to sleep.
Emperor Donglin smiled dotingly and patted Xiao Ruoyi's back gently, "Then Yiyi, lean on daddy's shoulder, let's go home!"
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Ruoyi was already sleeping soundly on Emperor Dong Lin's shoulder.
Emperor Donglin looked at his little girl's sleeping face with amusement. She was so chubby. As expected of his daughter, she was so cute!
When the father and daughter returned to Yaohua Palace, Concubine Liang saw the sleeping Xiao Ruoyi being carried back by Emperor Donglin. She looked worried, "Your Majesty!"
Emperor Donglin made a silent gesture, "Yiyi fell asleep!"
Concubine Liang looked at Emperor Donglin speechlessly, her eyes seemed to say, "I saw it!"
She just felt that it was absurd that Emperor Donglin wanted to take Yiyi to see those dirty things in the harem so late at night.
However, the person in front of her was the emperor, so she couldn't say anything.
Emperor Dong Lin touched his nose a little embarrassedly. He knew that something was wrong, but who made the little girl like it?
"I'll carry Yiyi to bed first. It's getting late, you should get some rest too!"
"So does the Emperor!"
Emperor Donglin quickly put Xiao Ruoyi on the bed and left.
After all, what happened today has already reached the ears of the ministers, and there is a big battle waiting for him tomorrow, so he must get enough rest.
The next morning court session.
Wang Dehai said in a sharp voice, "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave the court!"
An old minister with white hair walked out of the team. Zhuo Feiyang, who was the Imperial Censor and a veteran of two dynasties in the Donglin Kingdom, began to criticize the Emperor of Donglin.
One is that Emperor Donglin should not have released Concubine Liang, who had committed a crime, from the cold palace and restored her position as a concubine.
Another point is to speak for Concubine De. The mistakes made by Concubine De were not enough for Emperor Donglin to impose such severe punishment, and he strongly demanded that Concubine De be restored to her position as concubine.
Of course, the fact that the Fourth Prince was caned because of Xiao Ruoyi was not mentioned. After all, for the imperial censors like them, the Fourth Prince should be punished for bullying others by abusing his power, so he was punished. Even Concubine De, who was implicated, felt a little sympathy for him.
