Chapter 425: As long as I am here, why would you dare to do that?
Imperial study.
When Emperor Xuande heard the sound of greeting outside, he immediately put down the memorial in his hand and sat up straight.
Even though she already knew that Mo Jinchuan's leg had healed, she still couldn't help but tear up when she saw him standing in front of her.
He waved his hand gently and said softly, "Xiao Wu, come to the front quickly and let me take a good look."
Mo Jinchuan took a few steps forward as he was told.
Seeing him walking without any hindrance, his figure as upright as he remembered, Emperor Xuande said with a look of satisfaction: "Good, good, Xiaowu, your father has finally waited for you to stand up again."
He thought of something and hurriedly ordered, "Quick, bring a chair to Prince Jin. His legs can't stand for long."
Mo Jinchuan said respectfully, "Father, there is no need to trouble you. My leg has fully recovered."
Emperor Xuande's smile froze slightly, and he sighed softly, "That's right, I was just too happy to care about anything. Your legs are strong enough to fight in battle, so what's the harm in standing for a while?"
He looked at Song Yanxi, who was kneeling in the hall with her head bowed respectfully, and said with a pleasant face, "Song family girl, raise your head and let me take a good look."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little subtle.
Emperor Xuande snorted in his heart when he saw his son's eyes twitch slightly.
What does this little bastard think of his father?
Although it is true that he has concubines of prime age in his harem, he is not such a beast as to have feelings for his best friend's granddaughter.
There are tens of thousands of women in the world, and there are countless beautiful women. As the king of a country, what kind of woman can't he want?
Song Yanxi looked up as she was told, but her eyes were still looking down.
Looking directly into the emperor's face is extremely disrespectful.
Emperor Xuande's eyes flashed with surprise, and he couldn't help but sigh: "You, girl, have inherited your mother's good looks, no wonder..."
He glanced at Mo Jinchuan, who had a calm expression, and said, "No wonder Lord Lin has been obsessed with you. He even came to me before leaving for the battle and refused to divorce you no matter what."
Song Yanxi placed her hands on her forehead and bowed respectfully towards him, her voice soft but firm.
"Your Majesty, I hope you will understand that General Lin and I have no feelings for each other any longer, and he has already found the love of his life. I hope Your Majesty will allow us to divorce amicably."
"Oh?" Emperor Xuande said with a half-smile, playing with the red jade ring on his thumb, "General Lin didn't say that to me that day."
He paused deliberately, whetting their appetites before continuing, "He said you two were a harmonious couple with deep affection. He just had a disagreement recently about him taking a concubine, and you were so angry that you wanted to divorce him."
Judging from his leisurely tone, he clearly believed what Lin Tingfeng said.
Song Yanxi was anxious, but she also knew that she couldn't panic at this moment.
If she said something wrong in a hurry and left an impression of being unreasonable in front of His Majesty, wouldn't that prove what Lin Tingfeng said?
She had to calm down, she had to calm down.
Laws are nothing more than human nature. Even though Emperor Xuande was the ruler of a high and mighty country, he was still a human being after all.
As a human being, you always have seven emotions and six desires.
Recalling the life story of Emperor Xuande, Song Yanxi took a deep breath and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, please allow me to report that although General Lin and I have been married for more than two years, it has always been in name only, and I only have the empty title of General's Wife.
Our marriage was forced upon us, and now that General Lin has found another lover, why should I, a minister, be so tactless as to insist on standing between them and refusing to give up my position? Continuing to entangle them will only bring unhappiness to all three of us."
"Is there such a thing?" The corners of Emperor Xuande's mouth twitched, his expression was very subtle.
It's not like he hadn't heard from his subordinates before that the young couple had never slept together since their marriage. When he first heard about it, he thought it was absurd and thought it was just a rumor spread among the people that had changed its meaning as it was passed on.
After all, this girl from the Song family is talented, beautiful and has excellent character. She is more than enough to match Lin Tingfeng in terms of family background and other aspects.
To put it bluntly, it was a stroke of luck for the Lin family to marry her.
Even without mentioning the achievements that the Yan family had made for the security of the country on the battlefield in the past, the Yan family's businesses now spread all over the country. There are countless people in the court who are jealous and are trying their best to have even the slightest connection with the Yan family.
If anyone from another family married the legitimate daughter of the only daughter of the Yan family, they would probably hold her in their hands and hold her in their mouths, and would not be satisfied with her. They would even wake up laughing in their dreams in the middle of the night.
What the Yan family can bring him is not just endless wealth.
As long as his elder brother is willing, it would not be difficult to pave a successful path for his grandson-in-law and help him rise to the top.
This Lin Tingfeng is really bad. Not only did he take away the precious girl who was pampered and treated so well, but he also refused to cherish her after marrying her into his house.
This person is really too ungrateful.
Song Yanxi kowtowed heavily and said respectfully, "In front of Your Majesty, I dare not speak nonsense.
Everything I just said is true. Your Majesty can send someone to find the maids and servants in the General's Mansion and ask them.
Emperor Xuande said with a sullen face, "I believe what you said."
The girl was thin-skinned. If Lin Tingfeng had not been so bullying, she would not have been forced to reveal such a secret matter in front of the palace.
Once this matter gets out, even if it is not her fault, people will look at her differently, and the sons of good families will no longer have to worry about it in the future.
The more Emperor Xuande thought about it, the more he felt that Lin Tingfeng was really a piece of shit. He suppressed his anger and said softly, "Girl, get up and talk first."
Song Yanxi said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace."
He said this, but his body didn't move at all.
Emperor Xuande couldn't help but frown, thinking that her behavior seemed somewhat ignorant.
He knew that she had been wronged, but was there anything that couldn't be said nicely?
If they kneel down, he will grant their request. Then there will probably be people kneeling outside the imperial study every day.
He doesn't have to sit behind a desk and laboriously review memorials. He just needs to take some time every day to go outside and take a walk to see who kneels the longest and who is the most sincere. Isn't that enough?
Noticing the displeasure in his eyes, Mo Jinchuan lifted his robe and was about to kneel down.
But then Song Yanxi said, "What I just said is not the reason why I must divorce General Lin."
Emperor Xuande became interested and asked, "Then tell me what you are doing."
"I don't want to die."
"What?"
Song Yanxi rested her forehead against the cold ground and said word by word, "Your Majesty, I don't want to die yet."
Emperor Xuande sat up straight, his whole body dignified without anger, "You are the princess appointed by me personally, and the apple of the eye of the Yan and Song families. Who dares to take your life?
Tell me, I will order the extermination of his entire clan."
Song Yanxi remained silent.
Emperor Xuande's eyes showed more anger, and he said in a deep voice: "Raise your head and speak."
Song Yanxi slowly raised her head, her cold eyes filled with determination, "This subject has made up her mind, and I hope Your Majesty will grant it."
Emperor Xuande narrowed his eyes and asked coldly, "Song girl, apart from this, do you have anything else you want to say to me?"
"I dare not."
"With me here, why would you dare not?"
Emperor Xuande said, glancing at Mo Jinchuan beside him, and said coldly: "Xiao Wu, since she can't say it, you say it for her."
