Emperor Wen Kang looked at Yu Zexiu with disappointment, "Old Fifth, do you have anything else to say?"
Yu Zexiu shook his head and clenched his fists under his sleeves.
"Father, I have nothing to say."
Although this matter had little to do with him and his mother, he knew that no matter what happened tonight, he and his mother would definitely be punished.
Duke Lin is still alive. If his father does not give a satisfactory answer, what awaits him will surely be a bloody storm throughout the city.
By then, I wonder how his good brothers will get involved.
He and his mother can only take a step back for now. As long as it does not affect the overall situation, there will definitely be a way later.
Seeing that he was so sensible, Emperor Wenkang's slightly angry mood gradually calmed down.
He also knew that this matter had nothing to do with the fifth brother, but the Duke's Mansion would not consider whether it really had nothing to do with him.
If something happens to the Queen, the Duke will not let it go.
There must be a result tonight, and the person who is to be dealt with can only be Yu Fei and her son.
Besides, the fifth brother is quite honest and there are no bad rumors about him outside. For this reason, Duke Lin should not make things too difficult for him.
Thinking of this, Emperor Wenkang summoned the eunuch.
"Come here, pass on my decree. Concubine Yu and Prince Cheng, without knowing it, indirectly caused the Queen's poisoning. Concubine Yu is demoted to Imperial Concubine Yu and confined to Wutong Palace for a month. Prince Cheng is confined to his palace for a month and is not allowed to leave without being summoned."
"Your servant obeys your command."
Yu Zexiu and Yu Fei knelt on the ground, bowed their heads and thanked him for his order.
This result was unexpected for them.
I just can't go out temporarily, there is no other loss. A month passed in the blink of an eye.
However, Concubine Yu was in a more miserable situation.
After finally becoming a concubine, she hadn't even enjoyed a few years of comfortable life when she ended up back to square one.
Concubine Yu reluctantly returned to Wutong Palace and smashed all the useful items in the house as soon as she entered.
"Bitch, you're lucky."
The sinister expression on her face frightened the nanny, who immediately stepped forward and closed the window.
"My Lady, be careful with your words."
Concubine Yu gnashed her teeth as she looked towards Fengyi Palace. "Lin Jiayan, just wait for me. I will make you pay double for today's humiliation."
.........
"Father, are you just going to let them go like this?"
Yu Churan knelt in tears in front of Emperor Wenkang who was still in Fengyi Palace.
House arrest was just house arrest and demotion.
Can all the suffering that the Queen Mother has endured be solved by just confinement?
Concubine Yu knew very well that her mother could not eat crucian carp, yet she still "accidentally" served her mother a bowl of soup with crucian carp in it. Who would believe her if she said she was not sincere?
Emperor Wen Kang was silent for a while before he sighed at Yu Churan's tearful eyes.
"The miracle doctor also said that this kind of thing is rare. Your fifth brother has suffered an unprovoked disaster."
"As for Concubine Yu, she didn't know there was crucian carp in the soup. She served me and your mother the same soup. I demoted her, which is already the greatest punishment for her."
"Ranran, don't worry, your mother will be fine. There is a thousand-year-old Tianshan Snow Lotus in the national treasury. The genius doctor said it is the best tonic herb. I have already sent someone to get it."
Emperor Wenkang stood up and pulled Yu Churan, who was kneeling on the ground, up. "I still have memorials to review, so I'll return to the Imperial Study. I'll come see your mother tomorrow."
Yu Churan's eyes were red as he bowed respectfully, "Your Highness, I respectfully bid you farewell."
Her voice was rather low, and Emperor Wen Kang couldn't help but pat her shoulder. "Of course, you've already reached marriage age. You should stop being so reckless in the future. After all, he's still your fifth brother."
"I know." Yu Churan blinked and said with a feeling of grievance.
Emperor Wenkang shook his head and walked out of Fengyi Palace with his hands behind his back.
After Yu Churan could no longer see Emperor Wenkang, he hurriedly wrote a letter and had it sent out of the palace.
So what if I'm your fifth brother? If you dare to hurt our mother, I don't care whether you are my brother or not.
The few people who had been waiting anxiously in Duke Lin's mansion finally received a letter from the palace.
The Duke's wife almost fainted after just one look.
Her daughter actually suffered such an unexpected disaster in the palace.
Why were the two culprits only confined to their homes?
Duke Lin and the Duke's son stared at the letter in their hands with gnashing eyes.
House arrest?
The Emperor is really good at using tricks. He solved the problem of the murderer who hurt his daughter/sister with just one sentence of house arrest. He really thought that there was no one in the Duke Lin's Mansion, right?
The two angry men immediately put on court robes and went to the palace to meet the emperor. They would not accept this kind of punishment.
If the emperor cannot give them a satisfactory answer, they will kneel at the door of the Golden Palace and let the whole world know about the good things that the Fifth Prince and Concubine Yu have done.
"Master, what are you doing? Don't you think the palace is chaotic enough?" After recovering a little, the Duke's wife, Huang, hurriedly called out to the two people above.
Duke Lin stopped at the door and punched the door frame in anger.
"Madam, what do you think we should do? Our daughter has suffered such a great injustice, and Ranran is isolated and helpless in the palace. If we don't go to the palace to support her, others will really bully us."
Huang wiped her tears and said heartbrokenly, "Now is not the time to go and support me. Breaking into the palace at night is a capital crime!"
Duke Lin leaned tiredly against the door frame, and a few strands of white hair had appeared in his black hair.
"If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have let Yanyan marry into the Eastern Palace. This cannibalistic palace ultimately harmed her."
