The next morning at court, Shang Xiaoyang angrily denounced An Qingfeng of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion for having poor personal ethics and difficulty upholding public ethics, and was not worthy of being the crown prince.
The court and the public were shocked. You have to know that An Qingfeng is the only son of Duke An Guo, and the only son is disliked by the emperor. This is a very hateful thing he has done.
This title cannot be passed down unless it is adopted by a clan brother. I am afraid that the emperor is also very dissatisfied with the Anguo Mansion.
The court officials were all thinking about whether they should stay away from the Anguo Mansion to avoid being implicated. Those who were not deeply involved with the Anguo Mansion took this opportunity to cut off contact.
The Anguo Mansion fell into a haze.
An Qingfeng even regarded Qin Danqing as a thorn in his side. If she had not suddenly barged in with her sister, the imperial concubine, Qingyu would not have been despised and sent to a nunnery, and he himself would not have been deprived of his position as the crown prince.
He vented all his anger on Qin Danqing.
Qin Danqing, who was beaten, did not blame An Qingfeng, but kept blaming Danruo in his heart, asking why she couldn't stop the emperor for him. All his current sufferings were caused by Danruo.
Qin Guangyu told the truth after returning home. He was just angry about his own experience and was very happy about An Qingfeng's end, but he did not expect Qin Danqing's situation.
When Mrs. Du found out, she went crazy. She should have listened to her husband and married the concubine's daughter of her mother's family, the Ningguo Marquis Mansion. At least she wouldn't have let her son suffer such a great humiliation. Naturally, she had no time to think about Qin Danqing's situation.
Only Li guessed it. After she explained the truth to General Qin, General Qin took Li to the door of the Duke of Anguo's Mansion.
The wife of Duke Anguo was still ill, so Duke Anguo received General Qin and Li in the main hall.
General Qin suggested that Li go and see Qin Danqing. Duke Anguo didn't know the situation in the inner quarters, so he naturally agreed.
Li was also a martial artist, and she could see through Qin Danqing's unnaturalness at a glance. She asked Qin Danqing, but he still refused to admit it.
Li controlled Qin Danqing and quickly rolled up her sleeves to check. She saw densely packed blue and purple marks on his face. She pulled Qin Danqing to the main hall to find General Qin and Duke Anguo.
Qin Danqing scolded her: "You are meddling in other people's business."
Li glanced at her sideways and said, "If it weren't for your father, you would think I cared about you."
"You are just thinking about my mother's position as the legal wife, so you are pretending to be in front of my father. I will make you give up this idea. Don't say that my mother is just sick now. Even if my mother died, I would not let you get what you want."
Qin Danqing was filled with resentment.
Li was not panicked when people told her secrets. Her daughter had earned an imperial decree for her. There was no female master in the mansion who could take charge of things now. Naturally, she would have to go out and socialize on behalf of the Qin family in the future.
Naturally, she wanted to change her status and legitimacy. She didn't want her status to affect her son's marriage, and she didn't want her daughter to be criticized in the harem because of her illegitimate status.
Without changing his expression, he pulled Qin Danqing to the main hall and told General Qin the situation in his ear.
General Qin immediately drew his sword and glared at him:
"An Qingfeng is too much of a bully. He actually dared to attack my daughter. We must divorce today."
Duke Anguo was puzzled. "Qingfeng was whipped by Concubine Yi and is currently recuperating in bed. How could he possibly attack Danqing?"
General Qin was annoyed and looked at Qin Danqing, who shook his head with a determined look.
"Father, I'm fine. Don't listen to Aunt Li's nonsense. Qingfeng didn't hit me."
Li pressed lightly on her arm, and she couldn't help but grimace, obviously in great pain.
General Qin saw this and stepped forward to comfort him: "Danqing, don't be afraid. Your father will take you home."
Qin Danqing took a step back and said, "I don't want a divorce. My daughter and the prince are in love. Daddy, please stop talking nonsense."
Duke Anguo raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction: "Qin Danqing is my daughter-in-law of Duke Anguo's Mansion. She always says that nothing happened, but General Qin keeps forcing her to divorce.
What kind of logic is this? You begged Qingfeng to marry your daughter, and now you want a divorce for no reason. Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you have a concubine in your house?"
Qin Danqing stood on the side of Duke Anguo and insisted on not divorcing.
General Qin could only feel sullen and angry at his daughter, but he still couldn't bear to see her suffer, so he made some harsh words.
"If my daughter is mistreated in this mansion, I will fight the Duke of Anguo's mansion to the death."
Qin Danqing was furious. How could her father make such an enemy of the future emperor? She even wanted General Qin to stand on An Qingfeng's side.
She was afraid that her reckless father would say something harsh again, so she ordered him to leave: "Father, please leave quickly. I am doing well in the Anguo Mansion."
General Qin was so angry that he fell backwards and left with a flick of his sleeves.
Qin Danqing smiled flatteringly at the Duke of Anguo, "Father, my father just can't figure it out for the moment. He loves me so much, he will definitely help Qingfeng in the future."
Duke Anguo nodded, thinking that Qin Danqing was a fool who loved An Qingfeng too much.
It was definitely not the case that An Qingfeng’s identity was leaked. After all, even the wife of Duke Anguo didn’t know about this. She still thought that An Qingfeng was her biological son.
However, at this critical juncture, no more complications can arise. He reminded An Qingfeng to be careful and not always fall for women.
--The Imperial Palace--
The eighth day of the eighth month is an auspicious day, and it is also the day for Danruo to be crowned as a noble concubine.
She had moved to Yaoyue Palace for three days, and Shang Xiaoyang had been staying there the whole time. Concubine Meng and Concubine Han were so jealous that their eyes turned red.
But Dan Ruo was innocent. Shang Xiaoyang really just held her in his arms and slept with her. It's not that he didn't react, but after kissing and hugging her, he pressed her in his arms to sleep.
She felt that Shang Xiaoyang might be psychologically or subconsciously afraid and resisting this matter.
