"Du Zheng, you bitch, you came up with all these schemes. You told me that this would teach her a lesson, ruin her reputation, and keep her from pestering the prince ever again.
You bribed the palace maids, and even that man was a servant you hired. You did all of this, and now you want to push it all onto me? No way.” Tang Tianjiao pushed all the blame onto Du Zheng.
"Yes, I told you the solution. If you didn't hate Princess Jiahui and didn't want her to be ruined, how could you agree to it?
When something goes wrong, you want to put the blame on me, but that's impossible.
Do you know why I would do this?
I just hate you. I hate the way you always act so high and mighty and beat and scold us at will.
I'm going to use you, through Princess Jiahui, to deal with you." Du Zheng said frantically.
Since it has come to this, she no longer asks to stay alive, it doesn't matter anymore, and she tells everything.
Li Yun watched the dog-eat-dog drama coldly, sneering in his heart. What a pair of good sisters, you bite me and I bite you, I don't know how happy I am to watch it.
"Your Majesty, it was the daughter of the temple chief who taught Suochen's daughter, which is why she committed such a serious crime. I beg Your Majesty to be lenient with her." In order to protect his family, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple pushed everything onto Du Zheng and exonerated his daughter.
"Your Majesty, it's not what the Shaoqing said. It was his daughter Tang Tianjiao who was jealous of Princess Jiahui and wanted to destroy her, so she ordered the envoy's daughter to do this.
The Emperor is very perceptive and asks for a lighter sentence for my daughter." For the sake of himself and his family, Si Zheng also shifted the blame to Tang Tianjiao to reduce the guilt of his daughter.
Watching a show, eating a melon, how come the food gets eaten by herself? It’s really speechless. Can’t she just be a spectator and eat melons?
The female members of the family knew that all this was directed and acted out by Tang Tianjiao and Du Zheng, who were crying thief, and they all expressed their contempt and disdain.
Some young ladies who had been bullied by Tang Tianjiao and Du Zheng were even gloating and taking advantage of their misfortune.
"Why don't you even look in the mirror? You're so ugly, yet you still dare to covet Prince Jin. How disgusting!"
"That's right. She just kept saying that Princess Jiahui was flattering her. Isn't this a slap in the face?
I didn't expect her to be so cruel and want to destroy a woman's innocence.
Fortunately, God has mercy on them and prevented their evil plot from succeeding. In the end, they suffered the consequences of their actions. It is truly gratifying! "
"That's right, I almost believed their lies and wrongly accused Princess Jiahui.
Fortunately, the truth came out after all the difficulties!"
"Women like this are a disgrace to us women. Tell me, how did they feel when they were having sex with that man?"
"He must be enjoying it, otherwise he wouldn't be so shameless as to touch the guards."
"Don't even mention it. How do those two guards feel when they have a jade in their arms? They must have seen and eaten everything."
“You think that if they were to bare their breasts and backs in front of men like this, they would have been seen through by others.
Even if a woman like this doesn't die, no one would dare to marry her. She would either be sold to a brothel or spend her life alone in seclusion."
"They brought this upon themselves, they can't blame anyone else.
Besides, they slandered the princess and dared to deceive the emperor, how could they have a chance to survive? "
"That's true. Let's stop talking. The Emperor seems to be about to speak."
The women were discussing Tang Tianjiao and Du Zheng one after another. Li Yun listened with great interest and felt that they had the potential to become gossips.
The other women blushed and covered their children's ears embarrassedly to prevent them from hearing these dirty words and affecting their children's mental health.
The older women's faces turned black, and they were so angry that they wanted to find someone to shut their mouths.
"The good daughter you raised turned out to be so evil that she wanted to destroy Princess Jiahui.
Do you know that Princess Jiahui is the lucky star of our Great Jin Dynasty and how much the people love her?
But your daughter actually wanted to destroy her. If the people knew about this, they would tear you apart with their own hands.
Such a heinous crime cannot be appeased unless the execution is carried out,” the emperor said angrily.
"I beg Your Majesty to show mercy! My daughter is young and ignorant, which is why I committed such a serious crime.
Please, Your Majesty, consider our diligent work and grant us a lighter punishment! "The Dali Temple's Shaoqing and the Temple Chief Justice used moral blackmail to ask for a lighter punishment!
"I have given them a chance, but they do not repent and continue to deceive me. Such a crime can be given a light sentence. Where is my dignity? Where is the law of the Jin Dynasty? Don't I have any face? The law of the Jin Dynasty does not need to be obeyed?" The emperor frowned and angrily scolded the Shaoqing and the Temple Chief of the Dali Temple.
"I dare not! I am terrified! I am guilty! Please calm down, Your Majesty!" The Shaoqing and the Temple Chief of the Dali Temple were terrified, their faces turned pale, they trembled, and they begged for mercy from the emperor in fear.
"I think there is nothing you dare not do. You even dare to use moral blackmail on me!" said the emperor with a sneer.
"I am guilty! Please punish me severely, Your Majesty!" This time, Shaoqing and Si Zheng were so disheartened that they dared not beg for mercy anymore!
"Okay, I'll do as you wish.
Eunuch Shen drafts the decree! "This is what the emperor was waiting for.
"Yes!" Eunuch Shen went out to prepare the four treasures of the study and the imperial edict, and asked the emperor to write the imperial edict.
The ministers and their families below were uneasy, silent as a cicada in fear.
Soon, Eunuch Shen brought pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the imperial edict. The emperor wrote the imperial edict himself and asked Eunuch Shen to read it in public.
When Eunuch Shen finished reading the imperial edict, everyone couldn't help but sigh. This is the result of not educating children well.
When I get back, I must tell my children again and again not to offend Prince Jin and Princess Jiahui, and even more so not to have any desire for Prince Jin and Princess Jiahui.
"Your Majesty, please have mercy! Spare my family!" Shaoqing and Si Zheng of the Dali Temple begged for mercy from the emperor.
It turned out that the emperor really wanted to kill all nine generations of their clan. Although some ministers thought that the sentence was a bit heavy, the emperor never joked.
"Where are the Imperial Guards! Where is the Minister of Justice!" The emperor was annoyed by the quarrels between the Junior Secretary and the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, and called out to the Imperial Guards and the Minister of Justice.
"Your servants are here!" The leader of the Imperial Guards and the Minister of Justice came out.
"Take them to the prison of the Ministry of Justice, discipline them strictly, and execute them in three days!" The emperor said to the Imperial Guards and the Minister of Justice.
"Your Majesty, I obey your order!" After saying that, the leader of the Imperial Guards called out the Imperial Guards, and took the family of the Dali Temple's Shaoqing and the family of the Temple Chief, out of the Baohe Hall, out of the palace, and into the Ministry of Justice's prison.
The Dali Temple Minister was in a panic. His two subordinates had angered the emperor, and he was afraid that the disaster would affect him, so he did not dare to plead for mercy.
“Today is the palace banquet hosted by Jiahui County. I didn’t expect such an unpleasant incident to happen and disrupt everyone’s mood.
"I feel I owe Princess Jiahui, and as an apology, I offer her a box of jewels, two manors, three shops, and a box of silks and satins," the Emperor said.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!" Li Yun kowtowed in gratitude.
"Today's banquet ends here. My dear ministers, please take your leave." The emperor said a little tiredly.
"Your servants (your ministers and wives), take your leave!" After saying this, the ministers left Baohedian with their families, exited the palace, and returned to their own residences.
