Bao Hui got furious as she listened. So this thing was going to get revenge on her! And it even dragged Chao Yang into it. Even a tiger wouldn't eat its own cubs!
Chaoyang was furious. It turned out she had been tricked, and by her own father no less!
The two of them together were incredibly powerful. Before the emperor could say anything, two figures rushed up to the prince consort, and cries of agony rang out.
......
Apart from Bao Hui and Chao Yang's curses and the prince consort's wailing, the room was eerily quiet.
Lord Wang, who was closest to them, quickly pulled Wang Shi and Chuan Yu away. Oh my god, oh my god, don't let innocent people get caught in the crossfire!
Wang Shi and Chuan Yu, who could not hear Chuan Wen's thoughts, along with the two palace maids who were left behind for questioning, were filled with confusion. What had happened?
Because she had been hit twice and was unable to move quickly enough, Peony was slow to dodge. Several shoe prints were left on her legs, and she was also hit on the face by someone's arm. She was almost stunned by the blows.
【Why are you hitting Peony now, Prince Consort? Peony is the only one in this room who can be your ally. Aren't you just pushing your ally away?】
The prince consort, who actually wanted to use someone as a shield, was overwhelmed by a punch.
Honglu Temple Vice Minister: Princess Baohui, your left hook was no good. If it had been a little lower, it would have hit the consort in the eye. With your strength, I guarantee he won't be able to open his eyes for at least ten days or half a month!
Minister of War: Yes, yes, Princess Chaoyang, you can't beat your own father. Your job is just to keep him occupied. Leave the beating to Princess Baohui!
The Minister of Justice covered his face, unable to bear the sight: My God, it's too brutal, too bloody!
Noticing the Minister of Justice's posture, the others looked over and exclaimed, "Pah! What are you pretending for! Why didn't you cover your face when you were being tortured in prison!"
[Hahaha, Minister of Justice, you're incompetent! You're even squeamish about blood! Even when being tortured in prison, you hide in a corner, screaming more pitifully than the prisoners! Hahahaha!]
Everyone: ......
I'm sorry! I misunderstood you!
Minister of Justice: I've lost both face and dignity!
Although the emperor desperately wanted Bao Hui and Chao Yang to beat the prince consort to death, he still had them separated. The prince consort, bruised and battered, was crying. See? See? He was beaten up for no reason! Who would want a tigress like that!
However, no one looked at the驸马 (the驸马) with a trace of sympathy. Actually, before he took a mistress, Princess Bao Hui, though domineering towards others, was incredibly good to him. She obeyed his every command without question. Alas, Bao Hui had chosen the wrong person; the驸马 was a philanderer, keeping one mistress after another.
And as for wanting revenge against Princess Baohui, fine, you can take revenge if you want, but to scheme against your own daughter, is he even a father? He deserved to be beaten!
In the end, considering that the prince consort and Wang Sanlang did not commit a serious crime, the emperor ordered Princess Baohui to divorce the prince consort, demote him to a commoner, and banish him and Wang Sanlang from the capital, never to return to the capital again.
As for Chaoyang falling into the water, it was her own fault; let her go home and reflect on her actions.
Although Wang was unaware of the situation and tried to salvage it, the incident was caused by her, and she was punished by being confined to her room to reflect on her actions.
Chuanwen was the only one who received a fair share of rewards and consolation in this incident, and he was overjoyed. [Yay! I tripped that idiot Chaoyang in the water and got a reward too! So happy!]
The group was stunned for a moment, ? ? ?
Tripping the rising sun into the water? What does that mean?
I always thought Chuanwen was the victim, but it turns out he was the perpetrator?!
The emperor looked at Zheng Yan, who was also somewhat surprised, as he hadn't seen Chuan Wen make a move.
After recalling for a moment, he suddenly remembered that Chaoyang and Chuanwen were standing very close together at the time. Although Chuanwen did not make a move, she might have actually used her foot. However, Chuanwen's little movement was under her skirt, so he did not notice it.
The emperor glanced at Chuanwen's smug expression, sighed, and said, "Never mind, but next time you must remember this lesson and not spoil this clever little devil again!"
The others glanced silently at the doorway, wiping their sweat. Thankfully, Princess Bao Hui and Princess Chaoyang had already left, otherwise...
Thinking back to how fiercely Princess Bao Hui and Chao Yang beat up the prince consort, she couldn't help but shudder. She looked at Chuanwen and was glad that she had escaped a disaster. If she had said those two sentences a little earlier, she would have been in the same terrible situation as the prince consort!
Regardless, Wang was still relieved that she was only punished with confinement and reflection. Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down. However, she was still a little heartbroken that her third brother could never return to the capital.
However, when the old lady of the Marquis of Changxing returned with her family of women, Xu Yan made a request to the emperor, "Could you let my Xiaowen go home for a few days? The New Year is coming soon, and he can't stay in the palace all the time."
The emperor and empress knew that this was because they cared about their daughter. Although Chuanwen was not injured in the end and even received a lot of rewards, it was true that she was scolded and could not talk back. Her parents must have felt wronged. After all, whose daughter is not the apple of her parents' eye?
The two felt quite guilty, as Chuanwen had been bullied right under their noses, and they had failed to protect the girl.
Chuanwen, on the other hand, was carefree, his eyes sparkling as he looked at the emperor, full of anticipation.
[Boss! Listen to the people's voices! Who's kind enough to make a 14-year-old get up before dawn to go to work? I'm not getting enough sleep, I'm not growing taller, and if my future child is short, will they complain to you?! And another thing! You know this is child labor? I can take you to labor arbitration!]
After Chuanwen's outburst, everyone was embarrassed. "You're still a child, yet you're worrying about having children. Please don't do this, okay?"
However, the officials were quite empathetic. In the dead of winter, they had to get out of bed before dawn, dress properly, and dare not eat too much (for fear of having to go to the toilet during court). Then they had to stand in line in the biting cold wind to attend court. Who could endure that in the long run?
The emperor was a little embarrassed. Was he willing to hire child labor? Well, who told you to be so gifted, girl? It's called "the capable should do more," you know?
However, the emperor still gave Chuanwen a day off. Firstly, Chuanwen had indeed been wronged today, and secondly, he was really afraid that Chuanwen would not grow tall and her children would be short. If that happened, Chuanwen would probably curse him for the rest of her life, and he didn't want to be blackmailed by this girl.
So they told Chuanwen to stay home for the New Year before returning to the palace.
Chuanwen and Chuanyu were the happiest. Chuanwen quickly packed some of her personal belongings, and of course, she took all the rewards with her.
Before leaving, I pinched the little princess's cheek, feeling a little reluctant to part with her. I'd been holding this little one for so many days, and we'd grown quite attached to each other. And the Empress, she saved all the best food and toys for her, and even sewed her a nice quilt by hand, worried she'd be cold at night. She's practically become her second mother.
However, Chuanwen wasn't a very sensitive person, and this sadness was fleeting. It wasn't like they'd never see each other again; she'd be back after the New Year. That's what she thought when she first entered the palace, so even without her parents by her side, she could still be happy every day.
Of course, being able to reunite with his parents would be the best thing, and Chuanwen is really looking forward to going home.
After reluctantly bidding farewell to the Empress and the little princess, Chuanwen happily left with his family.
The Empress sighed as she watched them leave. The palace would be so boring without Chuanwen. She even wanted to go back to the Marquis of Changxing's residence with Chuanwen.
I caught a glimpse of the emperor's face; why was it so dark?
