Qi Moli was puzzled when he heard this, and frowned and said:
“I don’t understand what you are saying.
These things were sent from Hanlan, and I just picked them up as a convenience."
Cold mist?
How come these things were sent from Hanlan?
As he thought about this, a figure suddenly flashed in his mind: Master Huang...
Emperor Chongde continued:
"I have always believed that the Huaibei flood was a natural disaster, and I have always felt guilty towards the people of Huaibei!
Now I realize that it was your people who caused this disaster!
You used him to privately buy and sell officials and plunder the people's wealth. This is a serious crime!
Yet, even after the flood, they deceived their superiors and subordinates, disregarding the lives of the people, leaving them homeless and countless people dying of disease and starvation!"
He took a breath, slammed the table and cursed:
"The county lady and He Wenqin went to Xuzhou Prefecture to rescue the people of Huaibei.
But you sent people to assassinate me time and time again!
What is your intention?
Are you hoping that all the people in Xuzhou will die of the plague so that you can escape the crime of embezzling government grain?"
Emperor Chongde was really angry and said:
"Until today, I still thought you were misled by the Luo family's instigation and inducement!
I still want to spare your life for the sake of our father-son relationship, but exile you to Lingnan.
It seems that I was wrong. You are actually a cruel and insidious person with deep scheming!
I don’t know how much trouble this will cause in the future!
I can't keep you here!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Nanyan's face turned pale and he burst into tears and begged for mercy:
"Father, I, your son, believed the slander and did the wrong thing!
I know I was wrong, and I beg you to spare my life!"
Seeing that Emperor Chongde ignored him, he knelt before the Empress Dowager and kowtowed, saying:
"Grandmother, I know I was wrong and I will never do it again.
My grandson is willing to go to Lingnan and never return to Jianzhou. I only ask my grandmother to intercede for my life!"
His crying gave the Empress Dowager a headache and she frowned.
Aunt Huiru, who was beside the Queen Mother, saw this and said:
"Your Highness Prince Rui, why are you thinking of asking the Queen Mother for help now?
Just now, your uncle, General Luo, held a sharp knife to the empress dowager's neck in order to force the emperor to write an edict!
If the Emperor hadn't kept a backup plan, and if Prince Mo Ying hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid we would be the ones begging for mercy right now, right?"
After Aunt Huiru finished speaking, the Queen also spoke:
"His Royal Highness Prince Rui said he would break the Crown Prince's limbs and behead him at noon tomorrow, without even a thought for our brotherly love!
Why do you feel that life is important at this moment?"
In the end, Emperor Chongde ordered that Qi Nanyan, who was plotting rebellion, be stripped of his throne, demoted to a commoner, and sentenced to be executed at a later date!
However, Si Jinyue was not a virtuous woman and had an affair with someone and gave birth to a child, committing the crime of adultery!
Sentenced to parade through the streets, immerse in a pig cage, and drown to death!
Yuan Qing committed treason by having an affair with the princess, so he should be beheaded!
However, because she reported Si Jinyue and preserved the innocence of the royal bloodline, her merits and demerits offset each other, and she was allowed to leave the palace with her child.
Qi Moli and Si Junshan need to stay in the palace to recuperate the remaining soldiers of the Luo family army.
These soldiers have followed General Luo for many years and are naturally loyal to him, so they need to be reorganized.
General Lan was old, and perhaps with the permission of Emperor Chongde, he left the palace and returned home with Si Jinxing.
By the time Si Jinxing walked out of Wanfu Palace, the sky was already turning a little white.
In the carriage, General Lan scolded:
"You little girl, you're just messing around! Wait until your third uncle comes back, and I'll break his legs!"
Si Jinxing chuckled, took General Lan's arm, and said with a smile:
"Grandfather, I was the one who insisted on going. Why didn't you beat me, but beat my uncle instead?
Look, I'm fine. Let me tell you, Third Uncle made a great contribution in this battle!"
General Lan heard this and said with half belief and half doubt:
"He was only an escort officer this time and didn't have to fight on the battlefield. How could he have achieved such great merit?"
Si Jinxing shook her head slightly and said mysteriously:
"Just wait and see!"
Seeing this, General Lan did not ask any further questions. His eyes were filled with relief, but he sighed softly the next moment and said:
"If your mother had half the ideas you have, she wouldn't have passed away at such a young age."
Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing didn't know how to comfort her. Did the Lan family have no ideas?
She was just too well protected since she was young, and she loved Si Junshan too much...
After a while, the carriage slowly stopped.
Si Jinxing jumped off the carriage and reached out to help General Lan, but suddenly heard a burst of hurried horse hooves sounds.
Followed by a sharp curse:
"Si Jinxing! You are such a disaster! You have caused my son so much trouble!"
