Chapter 296 This collision is to forcibly extend the life of King Chang
The corners of Imperial Concubine Qi Jing's mouth twitched. She slowly raised her head, tears welling up in her calm eyes. She said, "I miss you all the time. I have failed to take good care of my son. I beg Your Majesty to punish me."
There are countless complaints in my heart.
I can only mutter in my heart.
Because her man is the emperor and the man of many women, she can't nag, and men like to be spoiled.
Emperor Xu sighed and said, "It's my fault for not taking good care of my son."
Afterwards, the palace fell into silence.
Everyone knew that the emperor was weighing the pros and cons. This matter was neither big nor small. Emotionally, he was leaning towards the imperial concubine, but rationally, it was difficult for him to make a decision.
Jiang Jing was the first to break the silence: "I, your humble servant, beg the Emperor to make a decision for Lord Jiu."
Li Ningwan then expressed her position: "If Your Majesty cannot make the decision for me, and I cannot vent my anger, I am as low as dust in Your Majesty's heart. I, a sinner, wish to retire and return home."
Prime Minister Zhou sneered a few times and took out a memorial from his arms.
"I have prepared my resignation letter. I beg Your Majesty to allow me to return home."
Li Ningwan: “…”
What an old fox! Why didn’t he think of writing a letter of apology before coming here?
Li Ningwan gritted his teeth and kowtowed, saying, "What I meant was that the body could be buried in my hometown."
Prime Minister Zhou paused, gritting his teeth and saying, "It's not impossible for this old minister. Lord Li said he was eager to save his daughter, and this old minister also feels sorry for such a good son-in-law. Your Majesty, please make the decision!"
Emperor Xu was terribly depressed. Facing the threats from two important ministers, his annoyance was magnified infinitely.
He squeezed out from between his teeth: "Threatening me?"
Everyone: "We dare not."
Emperor Xu stood up and carefully examined Prince Chang's injuries. He put his hands behind his back and had already made a decision: "The Second Prince has behaved improperly, repeatedly provoked others, and refuses to repent. However, since he has learned his lesson, he will be punished with six months of military service! Li Ningwan will be punished with one year, and Jiang Jing will be punished with two years. He will also be demoted to a commoner and will be rehired after passing the imperial examination!"
Several people looked at each other in bewilderment. They had thought they would be beaten, but they had never thought that the emperor would solve it in this way.
There were hurried footsteps outside the door.
The Queen came with the Prince's family. She glanced at Jiusu and nodded at him, "Your Majesty, I request to see you. I have something important to tell you!"
Emperor Xu frowned. Are you all coming?
He sneered, "Today is such a good day. Let the Queen come in. I want to see what kind of trouble she can cause."
Eunuch Shang opened the door of the imperial study and invited the Queen and her family in. His eyes fell on Jiusu. Alas, all these incidents were because of Jiusu.
The harem has already started to spread.
'Beauty is a disaster'
'Causes harm to the country and the people'
These four words.
He reminded: "The emperor is angry."
"Thank you." Jiusu replied softly.
People should do more good deeds, maybe they will be rewarded one day.
Empress Xu knelt on the ground, ignoring everyone, her eyes full of grief. Today, Xi Xiang painted a "delicate and loving" makeup for her.
"I ask the emperor to make the decision."
Eunuch Shang respectfully placed the things in the Queen's hands on the table.
I stood by and didn't dare to breathe.
Emperor Xu opened it and wanted to take a casual look, but he saw something shocking. His face turned so dark that it seemed as if ink could drip out. He picked up the inkstone and threw it at Prince Chang.
It hit him right on the left side of the head.
Ink splashed on his face.
"Drag this rebellious son out and chop him off!"
"You bastard! I pamper you and protect you, and you treat me like this! Are you still human? No matter how many mistakes you make, I only fine you your salary! Do you think I don't have a temper?"
The emperor's anger left Concubine Qijing confused.
But when she saw the Empress, she guessed most of what was going on. She grabbed the Emperor's bright yellow sleeve and said, "Your Majesty! What did Rong'er do wrong to deserve such insults from you? Do you hate me? I will die as a token of my apology!"
The coldness on the emperor's face remained unchanged.
The imperial concubine glanced at her trembling son, hardened her heart, and ran towards the west pillar, hitting her head against it and sliding down.
"Qi Jing!" Emperor Xu quickly ran over and picked up the woman with blood all over her head. "Why are you doing this?"
The imperial physician is waiting outside.
He ran to Prince Chang, but was scolded by the emperor: "That bastard is dead, so he is dead. Come here and show it to the concubine!"
The imperial physician cleaned and bandaged her wound, then knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty's injuries are serious. You need to stay in bed and recuperate. You can't be stimulated any further."
He carried the medicine box and left this "place of trouble", stood at the door, closed his eyes and listened to the announcement.
Jiusu looked at Jiang Jing with helplessness in his eyes.
Even the Queen did not guess that the Imperial Concubine would do such a thing. This collision was to forcibly prolong Prince Chang's life. Queen Xu called out softly: "Your Majesty..."
But before she could finish her words, Concubine Qi Jing interrupted her.
Qi Jing's eyes were red as she tightly grasped the emperor's hand, choking with sobs as she said, "If you were going to chop off Rong'er's head, why did you save me?"
Emperor Xu said distressedly, "I was just angry. I didn't want the second son to die. What he did was really too much!"
Noble Concubine Qijing placed her hand on the emperor's cheek and asked affectionately, "Do you still remember what we agreed upon when I was pregnant?"
"I remember, I remember." Emperor Xu was stunned, his back becoming somewhat lonely. "I remember."
Concubine Qi Jing pleaded, "The agreement is void. I only want Rong'er to live well. Is that okay, Your Majesty?"
"good."
His voice became extremely hoarse.
Immediately afterwards, Emperor Xu left only the Queen behind and asked everyone else to leave the hall. It was obvious that he had something to say.
Outside the hall, the wind and snow were blowing.
Imperial Concubine Qi Jing raised her head, looked at the others with a haughty expression, stared at the Crown Princess's belly and said, "Crown Prince, I won't bother with you, but you want to harm my son?"
Xu Qihuai held his breath.
"It was Second Brother who started it."
Concubine Qi Jing smiled and said, "Really? When your mother comes out later, you can ask her carefully if it was Rong'er who did it. Will the emperor punish her?"
She sneered a few times, touched her head and left.
Jiusu turned around, looking at the two figures in the imperial study, and said, "It seems that today's matter will come to nothing. Could it be that the imperial concubine has something on the emperor?"
Xu Qihuai closed his eyes and staggered a few steps with a dizzy head.
Blood dripped from his nose. "Oh, my father is so partial."
Qiu Ying held him up and anxiously reminded him, "Your Highness, this is the Imperial Palace. You must be careful with your words. Come, I will help you to the side hall to rest."
She touched her belly.
It's a dull pain.
Jiusu handed over the pregnancy-preserving pills.
Qiu Ying cast a grateful look at him and helped the prince to the side hall. She took the medicine and came out, taking Jiusu aside. She asked softly, "Are you hiding something from me? I haven't seen my sister in a long time, and every time I see my father, he always seems melancholy."
Jiusu said: "I think this matter should not be discussed by me."
Qiu Ying asked, "Did something happen to my sister?"
Jiusu shook his head. "You can ask the Marquis, but you are still trying to protect your pregnancy. I suggest that you don't know. If you must know, then make all preparations before you go to find out the truth."
