"You, the Sun family, are going too far."
Princess Fuming almost vomited blood and was filled with resentment.
Old Master Sun had an expressionless face from beginning to end, and even the area around his face didn't move at all.
He said, "I have been against this marriage from the very beginning. It was Your Highness the Princess who insisted on marrying our daughter into our Sun family. I remember reminding Your Highness the Princess that the Sun family has strict rules and regulations, and your daughter has been unrestrained since childhood and might not be accustomed to life in the Sun family. Your Highness the Princess, do you remember how you answered me then?"
Princess Fuming gritted her teeth and said nothing, her face showing the expression of someone who was furious and embarrassed after having her secret exposed.
Old Master Sun didn't expect Princess Fuming to slap herself in the face.
He continued in a hoarse, unhurried voice, "I have a good memory. I clearly remember Her Highness the Princess saying that it doesn't matter if the Sun family's rules are strict. Your daughter is a member of the Sun family now that she's married, so she's bound to abide by them. If she makes a mistake, let us follow the rules. I didn't make that up, did I?"
Princess Fuming remained silent.
Old Master Sun didn't give her a chance to explain, "I think no matter whose family it is, they probably can't tolerate a woman who is so cruel and merciless.
She could be jealous, she could make a scene, she could make Minzhi apologize to her. Women in the inner house had countless tricks, and as the mistress, if she wanted to teach those two concubines a lesson, no one would stop her.
But when she strikes, she kills, and her methods are extremely cruel and bloody. I still want to enjoy my old age, and I really can't tolerate such a person in my family. Please, Your Highness, have mercy on me, take her back, and find another good wife."
Princess Fuming stared at Mr. Sun and saw that he had no intention of changing his decision, so she burst into tears.
"My life is miserable!"
When Gu Jiu heard the voice, the corners of his mouth twitched.
The cry reminded her of the past that she couldn't bear to recall.
She couldn't help but look at Princess Huyang.
Isn't this Princess Huyang's catchphrase? How did Princess Fuming snatch it away?
Or maybe all royal women have this hobby.
"Royal brother, Xiaoyi can't get a divorce. If she does, she'll never be able to marry again. What will she do with the rest of her life? The Sun family can't accommodate her, so just pity her and give her a legitimate status."
Princess Fuming cried bitterly.
"Mother, I..." Zhou Yi looked unwilling.
After all, she was young, and she couldn't stand having her dignity torn off and trampled on.
"Shut up!" Princess Fuming rarely spoke harshly to Zhou Yi and successfully interrupted Zhou Yi before she could finish her words.
Zhou Yi felt so wronged that she pouted her lips and was about to cry.
Fu Ming's wailing drowned out Zhou Yi's voice.
"I beg my royal brother to have mercy on mother and daughter. Please give Xiaoyi a future. When she gets old, someone will have to take care of her. When she dies, someone will have to offer sacrifices to her."
Princess Fuming cried so hard that she was out of breath, and looked so pitiful.
Princess Huyang secretly snorted, feeling really disgusted.
In the hall, only Gu Jiu heard Hu Yang's movements.
Hu Yang whispered to Gu Jiu, "She's just pretending. She's loved pretending since she was little, especially in front of our father. Our father dotes on her, and she takes advantage of that doting to do whatever she wants. Even the Zhao prince's palace coup didn't implicate her. Our father really treats her differently."
Gu Jiu suddenly understood.
It turns out that the late emperor did not ignore Princess Fuming, but did not touch her because he doted on her and even left her a way out.
If Princess Fuming continues to behave herself and let people gradually forget about her, she will have no problem living a life of wealth and safety.
But Emperor Wende had only been on the throne for over a year, and her memories of the past were still so clear, so she jumped out for Zhou Yi.
As soon as she jumps out, Emperor Wende's past memories will be brought back one by one.
Whenever the emperor is unhappy, he will bring up old issues.
Gu Jiu said softly, "Fu Ming is finished."
How badly it would be ruined depended on how much Emperor Wende hated Fu Ming.
Princess Huyang raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Let's continue watching the show. She's going to make a fuss."
Empress Pei's expression was indifferent. She was indifferent to Princess Fuming's crying. She had seen so many similar tactics that it was not surprising.
Let me ask you, where has Empress Pei ever seen such a method?
Of course, I saw it from Princess Huyang.
Although Fuming and Huyang were not born of the same mother, they had many similarities in character. They probably inherited the late emperor's temper and shamelessness.
Emperor Wende frowned, a little impatient.
"Alright, why are you mourning? It's not even Father's death anniversary yet."
As soon as Emperor Wende said this, Princess Fuming's face turned pale.
She stopped crying, sobbed softly, wiped her tears, and said, "Please, my royal brother, please make the decision."
Emperor Wende snorted coldly, "Look at the good daughter you raised. What other girl is so cruel and treats human life like worthless as she is?"
Princess Fuming lowered her head and said, "It's my fault. I didn't teach her well. I will definitely discipline her strictly in the future."
"It's too late! If you do something wrong, you have to bear the consequences."
Emperor Wende's words were too late, which was almost equivalent to sentencing Zhou Yi to death.
Princess Fuming looked bewildered.
Zhou Yi was also at a loss and began to panic.
Emperor Wende said to Princess Fuming, "Take her away and keep her under strict observation. From now on, I don't want to hear anything about her. If you can't keep her under control, I will take care of her myself."
Princess Fuming burst into tears. This time she was truly frightened and not pretending.
"Please give her a chance to live, my Royal Brother. Please have mercy on her."
"Step back." Emperor Wende was very impatient.
Chang En waved his hand, and immediately dozens of eunuchs rushed up, dragged Princess Fuming and Zhou Yi, and forcibly took them away from Xingqing Palace.
Princess Fuming's crying gradually faded away and finally disappeared.
Zhou Yi was so frightened that she was already limp, and she couldn't even scream.
The Sun family's grandparents and grandchildren were also a little nervous.
It was originally a family matter, but it was brought to the attention of Emperor Wende. I was afraid that if Emperor Wende was unhappy, he would deal with the Sun family as well.
Emperor Wende was quite polite to Old Master Sun. He asked again, "Does your Sun family insist on amicable divorce?"
Old Master Sun nodded, "Your Majesty, please grant me your blessing."
Emperor Wende didn't express his opinion, but waved his hand and said, "Withdraw. I have my own opinion on this matter."
The Sun family's grandparents and grandchildren left Xingqing Palace with some trepidation.
Princess Huyang looked regretful and felt unhappy watching the show halfway through.
Gu Jiu secretly tugged at her sleeve and said, "Don't just watch the show for now. Let's take a look at His Majesty first."
Princess Huyang realized later that Emperor Wende was staring at her with a fierce look.
Princess Huyang smiled awkwardly, "Brother, everything is fine here, I'll take my leave now."
"Who allowed you to leave? You come and go as you please. What do you think this place is? Is it your princess's mansion?"
Emperor Wende was furious.
Queen Pei picked up the teacup and drank tea, hiding the gloating smile on the corner of her mouth.
Gu Jiu was a little uneasy. He shouldn't have accompanied Hu Yang on this trip just out of curiosity.
As expected, Emperor Wende wanted to settle the score later.
Princess Huyang's expression was frozen, and she couldn't even smile. "Your Majesty, please don't be angry. I won't dare to do that again next time."
"Ridiculous! You still want to do it again? Believe it or not, I will issue an edict today to demote your title to that of a county lady."
"No!" Princess Huyang burst into tears. "Brother, I really know I'm wrong. The title of Princess is already one level lower than others. If you demote me to County Princess, then I, I won't live anymore."
Emperor Wende roared, "Who are you trying to scare by risking your life? Do you think this is the Cining Palace, a place where you can act wildly as you please?"
Princess Huyang cried breathlessly and asked pitifully, "My royal brother no longer loves me? Is my royal brother going to abandon me? Wow... my heart is about to break."
Gu Jiu almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
Did Princess Huyang deliberately want to make her laugh to death?
If she laughs in this situation, Emperor Wende will kill her.
Queen Pei lowered her head and smiled secretly.
Huyang deserves what happened to him.
Huyang still thought that His Majesty was the King of Ning back then, and that he could act coquettishly as he pleased, and that everything would be fine if he said a few soft words.
How naive.
A man who becomes an emperor changes every day and says goodbye to the past every day.
That idiot Hu Yang thought that His Majesty was the former King Ning and would continue to tolerate her as always.
Emperor Wende looked at the tearful Hu Yang with disdain and said, "Clean yourself up! If you dare to cry again, I will demote you to an idle member of the royal family."
In a second, Hu Yang decisively closed his mouth.
"belch……"
Hu Yang held his breath too quickly and couldn't help burping.
She was frightened and quickly covered her mouth, looking at Emperor Wende nervously.
She was just nervous, not scared.
Emperor Wende shouted angrily, "This is the last time I will forgive you. If you dare to trespass into the palace again, I will not forgive you easily. I will not even ask the Queen Mother for mercy. If you dare to talk nonsense in front of the Queen Mother about what happened today, I will not forgive you easily either."
Princess Huyang asked cautiously, "If I make a mistake, how will the emperor punish me?"
Emperor Wende laughed and said, "I will fine you three years of your title and salary. If you don't learn your lesson, I will directly demote you to an idle member of the royal family."
Even the title of County Lady was saved.
Emperor Wende was really determined to strip him of his title.
Poor Hu Yang, he was caught in the crossfire.
Huyang felt very aggrieved. As the emperor's biological sister, she was not given the title of princess, but was actually demoted.
Looking at all the emperors’ sisters in history books, she was probably the most miserable.
Hu Yang felt sad and aggrieved, tears falling down his face.
She didn't make any sound, just cried silently.
Emperor Wende had no sympathy for her at all.
"Big brother's wife, what's wrong with you? Why are you fooling around with Huyang?"
Here it comes, here it comes!
Gu Jiu knew that Emperor Wende would not let her go easily, and sure enough, it turned out to be true.
After Huyang is dealt with, it's her turn.
Queen Pei glanced at Gu Jiu with a cold look, obviously extremely dissatisfied with Gu Jiu.
He actually got involved with Huyang. He's really going back to the old ways.
Gu Jiu didn't have Hu Yang's dignity. She stood up and walked to the center of the hall, "The daughter-in-law pays respects to the emperor."
"Tell me, why are you messing around with Huyang?"
