The repentance of Prince Qiao proved that the late emperor was not a stupid person, but was deceived by the treacherous people, so that the generals who fought for the country would not be disheartened.
The emperor chuckled and said, "As for your precious daughter, maybe you are always on the battlefield and don't know your daughter well enough, so you must not know that this girl doesn't like me, but someone else."
These words were like a thunderclap from the ground, causing General Shu, Concubine Shu and other people present to gasp for air. Some people even dared not to breathe!
Shu Fei was the first to react. She seemed to have never expected that the emperor would actually reveal the fact that he was cuckolded in front of everyone!
Although the emperor knew that Shu Fei didn't like him, he didn't show much anger, which made Shu Fei think that the emperor had forgotten about it.
But who could have thought that the emperor was using this matter to threaten General Shu and as an excuse to marry Qiao Yuange!
It can be said that everything the emperor is doing now has only one purpose, which is to pave the way for Qiao Yuange to take the throne of queen.
But why?
Why could the emperor do this for Qiao Yuange?
Shu Fei lowered her eyes, and General Shu also reacted immediately. He turned to look at Shu Fei, and seeing her guilty look, he immediately realized that what the emperor said might be true, so he lowered his voice, showing that he was about to get angry, and said to Shu Fei: "Is what the emperor said true? Do you really like someone else?"
Shu Fei originally wanted to lie, but she simply could not lie in front of her father.
She could only bite her lip and keep silent.
When General Shu saw that his girl had agreed, he immediately raised his hand and was about to slap his girl in the face.
But when he raised his hand, he saw Shu Fei looking at that hand pitifully, her eyes full of grievance, and finally the slap did not fall.
He turned around and slapped himself hard in the face.
"I deserve to die. It's all my fault. I couldn't have raised such a shameless girl. I hope... Your Majesty will forgive me."
After General Shu slapped himself, he knelt on the ground and apologized to the emperor.
But Shu Fei was watching from the side. Before, Shu Fei did not think that there was anything arrogant about the little emperor.
Especially the emperor is still like a child who has not grown up in the harem.
But when she saw how humble her father was, she realized that the emperor was the emperor and she could not slander him at will.
She quickly followed suit and knelt on the ground.
The emperor seemed to have known that they would have such an attitude. He just looked at his hands and said, "General Shu, you just fought for the country and got injured. I should have swallowed my anger and worn this green hat. But you may have just returned and didn't hear that Yun Zhen has been driven out of the harem by me because she fell in love with Prince Liang."
General Shu trembled all over and was about to fall down at that moment.
Shu Fei quickly supported her father, with a surge of anger in her heart. She raised her eyes and said to the emperor, "Your Highness, what do you mean by this? Is it because I told you not to choose Qiao Yuange as the queen that you said this in front of my father? Are you hinting at my father on purpose?"
The emperor sighed, and remained calm and restrained, and said to Shu Fei: "Shu Fei, I don't like to meddle in other people's business. As for your liking for General Huan, I believe that less trouble is worse than more, so I didn't take it to heart at all."
The emperor stood up and walked in front of Shu Fei, but then said: "So since you don't like me, but you still occupy my position as a concubine, how can you still interfere with my choice of a queen? Tell me, are there some things you should do?"
General Shu turned around and looked at Concubine Shu in surprise.
I didn't expect that Shu Fei liked Huan?
And what’s even worse is that the emperor knows about it?
"This... Your Majesty, my Qingqing and Huan grew up together. It is impossible for them to have feelings for each other. If they did, they would have been together a long time ago."
Shu Fei didn't say anything, and the emperor just looked at her, as if he wanted to see Shu Fei's attitude.
General Shu was so frightened that he reached out to touch Concubine Shu and said to her, "Qingqing, tell me, you said you have nothing to do with Huan, tell me now!"
As the emperor's concubine, if she admitted that she had someone else in her heart, it would be tantamount to asking for her life.
Having an affair with someone, regardless of whether it is true or not, just because the Shu family is so wealthy, they will still be skinned alive!
Shu Fei's eyes suddenly turned red and tears started to fall.
She bit her lips so hard that they were as red as cherries.
Seeing that Shu Fei said nothing, General Shu knew that Shu Fei had acquiesced.
General Shu suddenly panicked.
Originally he was a patient that day, and the emperor came to see him, which made him very proud, but in the end he came to call him to task?
He turned around and looked at the emperor. After stuttering for a long time, he finally said to the emperor: "Your Highness, my daughter is immature and impulsive in everything she does. In fact, she has never thought of betraying Your Highness. Please give my daughter a chance and let her calm down."
What do you want to be?
It’s not that the emperor hasn’t been tempted before, and he knows how difficult it is for a person to change his mind.
Shu Fei likes Huan, and has liked him for a long time, so the emperor has no choice.
The emperor had a calm expression, but at this moment he suddenly changed to a relaxed expression and said, "General, if I come here to question you for this matter, I would be a fool. Don't I know that you were injured for the country?"
"Shu Fei likes General Huan. She has liked him for a long time. I cannot pry open Shu Fei's heart to see what she is thinking. If that is the case, I am thinking, why not let Shu Fei and General Huan be together? This way, Shu Fei's wish can be fulfilled."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present burst into laughter again.
What is the emperor doing?
Has he become a little stupid after being a cuckold for so long?
General Shu and Concubine Shu looked up at the emperor from time to time.
"You...are you telling the truth?" Shu Fei felt herself trembling all over. She couldn't believe her ears at all. She thought that the emperor must have a backup plan and must want to use this as an excuse to make Shu Fei admit that she had a relationship with him.
To be honest, Shu Fei's heart was moved at that moment because she really wanted to be with Master Huan.
But the problem is that Master Huan doesn't like her, and the person he may like is Qiao Yuange.
