Chapter 50: King Rui kowtows and begs for mercy

Shangguan Lin sat down on the chair directly above and pretended to be clueless when he heard it.

"Oh? Do you have any evidence?"

Prince Rui immediately stepped forward and interrupted, "Your Majesty, Song was ill some time ago. She is just talking nonsense..."

Shangguan Lin glared at him.

"Did I let you speak? Haven't you stayed in the ancestral hall long enough?"

Thinking of the days in the ancestral hall, when there was no sun at all and only rice and vegetables to eat every day, Prince Rui was immediately frightened and trembled all over, and dared not say another word.

Song glanced at Mingyue behind her, and Mingyue immediately handed the tray in her hands to Shangguan Lin.

"Your Majesty, Prince Rui not only poisoned the medicine I drank every day, but also pretended to give me Fritillaria powder, which made my condition worse and caused me to be bedridden for eight years!"

"The testimony of this Chengnan doctor, and the evidence of King Rui purchasing mother-of-pearl powder."

"There are also the accounts of the Rui Palace over the past eight years. There is a lot of money of unknown origin in it. This extra money is exactly equal to the amount of my lost dowry."

Shangguan Sui looked at Song, who spoke clearly and had an upright posture.

I couldn't help but feel emotional.

[If Song had not been mistakenly married to Prince Rui and poisoned by him, she would have lived a more exciting life...]

After hearing what his daughter said, Mr. Song immediately stood up and bowed.

"Your Majesty, I am worried that my daughter will suffer if she marries far away, so I send you money and write letters every month to express my regards."

"But after we talked to each other just now, we found out that my daughter only received a few of these letters, and she didn't see a penny of the money!"

[Oh my god! The bastard King Rui actually confiscated the letter! ]

[He really is a useless person! ]

The more Mr. Song spoke, the sadder he became, and his eyes instantly turned red.

"I only have Ning'er as my daughter. Who could want her? I personally sent my daughter to a den of wolves and tigers... and caused her to suffer so much..."

Mrs. Song immediately stepped forward and supported Mr. Song.

The voice was trembling: "Father, it's not your fault..."

Looking at the scene of deep love between father and daughter, Shangguan Lin couldn't help but feel emotional.

As a father himself, he could understand Mr. Song's feelings very well.

Shangguan Lin cast a cold look at Prince Rui.

"King Rui, please plead guilty."

King Rui immediately knelt down on the hill, his face pale and his voice trembling uncontrollably.

"Your humble servant...your humble servant..."

Without waiting for his answer, Shangguan Lin snorted coldly in a deep voice.

"Then the Song family and the King of Rui will divorce today and at this time, and from now on they will part ways and live in peace."

"Prince Rui must return Song's dowry in full, as well as all the silver he has embezzled over the years."

Shangguan Sui waved his hands excitedly.

[Great! Daddy is wise! Daddy is holy! Daddy is the best emperor in the world! ]

[I like Daddy!!! Song is finally free! ]

Shangguan Lin couldn't help but laugh out loud.

No matter who praised him, none of them could make him happier than the praise from Susui.

Prince Rui and the old lady collapsed to the ground at the same time.

Finished...

The Song family has spent so much money over the years, how are we going to pay it back?

Mrs. Song and Mr. Song looked at each other and smiled, then both cried with joy.

At the same time, I bowed down and thanked Him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shangguan Sui looked at them with joy in his eyes and eyebrows.

She said in a baby voice: "It's not just this, my dad has other rewards~"

Shangguan Lin immediately responded in tacit agreement: "Master Song, you went to Ningcheng to help with disaster relief and helped many people. It was indeed a great deed."

"I will confer upon you the title of Grand Protector and give you a plaque. You will be a role model for merchants all over the world!"

[Although the title of Taibao is a nominal position, it can really be said to be a great reward! ]

[Not to mention being awarded a plaque, there are only a few people in the entire Dayue Dynasty who have this honor! ]

[But Master Song can really afford it! He went to Ningcheng to help the disaster victims out of his true heart! ]

Mr. Song thanked him repeatedly.

Shangguan Lin's gaze immediately fell on Song, and the corners of his lips curled up.

"Ms. Song is a wise and dignified person. I specially confer the title of Princess Duanyang on her. Xiao Ziyuan can continue to study in the Shangshufang."

Song opened her mouth blankly, her face full of disbelief.

For a moment I forgot to thank him.

It took me a while to kowtow and express gratitude, but I still felt like I was dreaming.

Prince Rui and the old lady's expressions became even gloomier and uglier.

Unexpectedly, after Song left Ruiwang Mansion.

But it's even better?!

I'm so angry!

Shangguan Lin raised the corners of his lips.

Sui Sui has read the heavenly book, and she said that Xiao Ziyuan will become very powerful and smart in the future.

It is better to keep such a person by your side.

If he could be used by him and become a wise minister and general, it would be the best for the Dayue Kingdom.

[Great! Xiao Ziyuan will be able to grow up in such a happy environment in the future, he will definitely not turn evil! ]

[The Song family has suffered for eight years! They deserve this good result! ]

[Dad did a great job this time! ]

Shangguan Lin listened to the tender and crisp voice beside her ears, and couldn't suppress the smile on her face.

But he did not forget that there was one thing he had not yet done.

"Prince Rui, do you know why I let you out today?"

Prince Rui was thinking about how to pay back the money when he was suddenly reminded by the Emperor, and he suddenly became panicked.

He immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy, "I don't know..."

Shangguan Sui pursed his lips.

[You still don’t know? You’ve done so many bad things and you still don’t know?! ]

Shangguan Lin took out a memorial and threw it in front of Prince Rui.

His voice was icy. "This is the evidence of your crimes found by the Dali Temple. You have been corrupt and abused your power, sold official positions and titles, and the descendants of the Xiao family have been involved in fifty murder cases over the years!"

Prince Rui and the old lady were so frightened that they trembled all over.

Your Majesty, why did Your Majesty suddenly think of the Cha Xiao family...

Prince Rui knocked his head so hard that it shook the ground. "Your Majesty, please forgive me. Please forgive the Xiao family this time..."

Shangguan Lin interrupted him coldly.

"Hurry up and take Prince Rui away! And the entire Xiao family! Interrogate them severely! I must thoroughly investigate the Xiao family!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Yu Lin army guarding the door rushed in immediately.

He directly dragged Prince Rui and the old lady, who were kneeling on the ground, out.

The servants of the Xiao family were also taken away, and the wailing sounds continued.

Shangguan Sui looked at Prince Rui being dragged away and waved his fist excitedly.

【Bad guys get punished! That’s great!】

[What King Rui did deserves to be beheaded three hundred times! ]

Song stood aside, watching all this with a very calm expression.

I couldn't help but feel some emotion rising in my heart.

The emperor's consideration was very thoughtful. He first let her divorce Prince Rui and then pointed out Prince Rui's crimes.

This way, she and Ziyuan wouldn't be involved.

Then her eyes turned to the delicate and pretty little girl.

She always felt that this matter had something to do with the Fifth Princess...

No matter what, the Fifth Princess and Concubine Chen are really good people.

She would observe fasting and chant Buddhist scriptures for her whole life and pray for them.

Bihua Palace.

Qingping ran in with an excited look on her face.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Something happened to Concubine Rou!"
