Chapter 389 Even dogs shook their heads after hearing this

. "It is indeed not right for Concubine Duan to have no one to serve her. From today on, you and your brother will serve her in person. This will show your filial piety."

Xiao Siyuan and Xiao Qingwu were both in disbelief.

Did the emperor mean to imprison them until death?

"Father, father..."

Xiao Qingwu's voice trembled, and it was obvious that he was extremely scared.

However, the emperor ignored her, but looked at the third assistant minister: "I allow you to separate from the princess and find another good match. In addition, the son-in-law cannot hold an important position. I have wronged you before. In the future, you will be a horse washer in the Sijing Bureau."

This horse washer does not mean washing horses, but is responsible for the four libraries in the palace.

For the Third Assistant Minister, who had neither achieved success nor military success, it was really a stroke of luck to be promoted to the fifth rank.

The Third Assistant Minister was overjoyed and thanked him immediately.

Xiao Qingwu was still begging for mercy, but Xiao Siyuan said nothing.

He knew that the emperor was angry and nothing he said would help. It would be better

to just go along with him. When the emperor calmed down, there would naturally be other ways.

With this in mind, Xiao Siyuan did not struggle when the Jinyi Guards pressed them down.

Others could naturally guess what he was thinking.

Jiang Zhiyu clicked his tongue in his heart.

[You wanted to make a comeback in the future, but it's a pity that you don't have this opportunity.]

[The emperor is determined to kill you. Before tonight, what's waiting for you is white silk or poisoned wine. 】

After seeing them off, the sound of a pin drop could be heard in the hall.

Fuping's hands were trembling slightly as he peeled a walnut, and Chaoen's heart was also filled with shock.

The emperor acted as if nothing had happened, and his usual smile returned to his face. He asked Xiao Lingyu to stand up, inquired about his recent situation, and then said, "Are there any clues?"

Xiao Lingyu knew that he was asking about Liu Jie's escape from prison, and knelt down again: "Your son is incompetent."

This meant that there were no clues. The emperor waved his hands: "Stand up and talk, if there is no clue, then there is no clue. I will not blame you.

In the eyes of others, they might think that the emperor really dotes on the prince, but in Xiao Lingyu's own opinion, it was just that That's not the case at all.

As a role that protects the real prince, he abides by the law, is filial to his parents, unites his brothers and sisters, and never oversteps the line.

He does not covet anything that does not belong to him, nor does he form cliques for personal gain.

It can be said that the more incompetent he appears, the happier the emperor is.

Because this means that he is not a threat to any prince.

Xiao Lingyu sneered in his heart.

After the serious matters, it's time to talk about other things. The emperor's face changed, and Xiao Lingyu's pupils shrank.

Could it be that?

"What do you think of Princess Toya of Jungar? "

Although Xiao Lingyu had rejected him publicly at the palace banquet, there is always a chance of something happening. What if he changes his mind now?

Because of Prince Yu's rebellion, the envoys who came to congratulate him at the palace banquet did not leave Shengjing. After all, the purpose of their visit had not been achieved. If they went back directly, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?

So they all stayed in the mansion, waiting for things to calm down.

[Beautiful! He pointed at his future Crown Princess with one finger!]

Emperor: "!!!"

He curled his lips.

He said that he was very accurate in judging marriages. He said he didn't agree, but in the end he still married Toya.

After all, he was just shy. I will directly give...

[The Crown Princess who personally gave him poisoned wine to send him to heaven.]

Emperor: "!!!" "

What?!"

"Father, I really have no intention towards Princess Toya..."

Xiao Lingyu carefully considered his words so as not to anger his old father again.

But the emperor's face became more and more ugly.

Poisoning the prince, how brave!

The emperor murmured, "It's good to have no intention, it's best to have no intention..."

Xiao Lingyu's long speech suddenly stopped, and he looked at the emperor in surprise.

Jiang Zhiyu kindly helped him to express his thoughts:

[Are you okay?]

[Just now you were trying to force a marriage, but now you just have no intention?]

【The dogs shook their heads after hearing this.】

Xiao Lingyu: "..."

The Emperor: "..."

Not sure if it was his own illusion, but he always felt that Zhiyu was getting more and more disgusted with him. The Emperor glanced at Jiang Zhiyu with a reproachful look, then pressed his brows tiredly: "Forget it, let's talk about it later, you go down first."

Xiao Lingyu replied yes, bowed and retreated.

The Emperor glanced at Chao En and Fu Ping in succession, and the two understood and retreated.

Only the Emperor and Jiang Zhiyu were left in the hall.

"Are you satisfied now?" The Emperor looked at her and smiled.

Jiang Zhiyu looked calm: "What is your Majesty talking about? Why should I be satisfied or dissatisfied?"

"Still pretending, wasn't my imperial physician sent to the residence of the Third Assistant Minister by you?"

The Emperor looked at her: "You lied that it was me, do you think that the crime of deceiving the emperor I mentioned does not include you? "

There was no blame in his tone. Jiang Zhiyu smiled and acquiesced.

"Didn't you want him to lead the army in Mobei before? Why did you change your mind now and want to kill him?"

The emperor rubbed his temples. Seeing this, Jiang Zhiyu stepped forward and rubbed it for him.

"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? I don't want to kill the fifth prince. I just happened to know that they wanted to invite the imperial physician. I thought something big happened. I was worried that Your Majesty would be busy dealing with state affairs and would not have time to delay. What should I do then?" "

That's why I acted on my own. It is definitely not deceiving the king, Your Majesty."

[I just want to put him to death. The poison jade pendant and the ruin of my sister's marriage, all these things, I have never wronged him. ]

[He is still making trouble in front of the mansion. Do you really think that others are made of clay? ]

[What's more, he has troops and self-respect. If it is not dealt with in time, there is no guarantee that he will not be the next Prince of Honor. ]

The emperor was comforted by her rubbing, listening to her nonsense and the duet of her inner voice.

What really made the emperor want to kill him was Jiang Zhiyu's last sentence. He

has troops and self-respect!

His son has no ability, but he is very ambitious.

It is enough for the Prince of Honor to do this once. The emperor has never been a careless person. He will only take action when others are fully prepared.

The emperor chuckled. He didn't have such a bad taste.

"By the way, I have had a severe headache these past few days. What's the problem?"

The emperor changed the subject.

He mentioned this topic earlier just to scare her. Since he couldn't scare her, there was no need to talk about this topic.

Jiang Zhiyu stopped rubbing her hands and looked at the emperor carefully.

"It's nothing serious. As I said before, you have been sleep deprived for a long time and your mind is restless. From today on, you must get eight hours of sleep. Don't stay in this study all the time. Just go out for a walk more often and you'll be fine."

"Eight hours?"

The emperor was stunned. Did she mean eight hours?

But if you sleep for eight hours, how can you have time to review memorials during the day?
