Bai Qing is not someone who cares much about face and rules, as can be seen from his willingness to use women.
But he didn't know what his daughter was thinking, so he looked at Bai Yan and said, "Princess, since he is your husband, you should tell me."
If his daughter was truly afraid of becoming a widow, he might spare Jin Chang'an's life, but he would still harbor resentment.
The others also looked at Bai Yan with hope. A woman's husband is her heaven. What woman in this world wants to be a widow?
Bai Yan stood up, and Empress Jin also stood up, saying, "Princess, don't be foolish! The驸马 (the驸马) is your husband!"
Bai Yan chuckled lightly: "Father is also Mother's husband. Mother doesn't need to worry about this matter being leaked and tarnishing Father's reputation."
She then looked at the emperor and said, "Father, may I be entrusted with the disposal of Jin Chang'an?"
Bai Qing looked at his daughter and nodded: "Okay."
Jin Chang'an's face, which had been ashen, suddenly lit up: "Princess, I will cherish you from now on. You are my wife, and you are my only wife in this life..." A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold. Yes, how could the princess be willing to become a widow?
Jin Chang'an hurriedly walked towards Bai Yan: "Princess, my husband and I—"
"Guards!" a beautiful woman on the platform shouted coldly, "Drag Jin Chang'an out."
"Torn apart by five horses." A beautiful face uttered words that sent chills down one's spine.
Jin Chang'an's smile hadn't faded yet: "My lord..."
"Drag him out," Bai Yan said.
Jin Chang'an was dragged out by his attendants. His dying symptoms made him unsteady on his feet. At first, he pleaded desperately, but when he realized she ignored him, he began to curse: "You poisonous woman, you poisonous woman, you have a heart of a serpent, you will surely get your retribution..."
"Spare me, Princess! Spare me!"
From begging for mercy to cursing and then back to begging for mercy, Jin Chang'an changed very quickly; of course, he shattered just as quickly.
Right there in the courtyard, Bai Yan listened coldly to Jin Chang'an's screams. He had starved the original owner to death, so she would tear him apart.
Empress Jin and Madam Jin had already fainted, while Lord Jin sat on the ground, clearly in a daze.
"My son, aren't you afraid that the world will call you a wicked woman, and that the court officials will condemn you for not keeping the vows of womanhood?" Bai Qing asked.
Bai Yan chuckled lightly: "So what if she's a poisonous woman? Father, you are determined to pacify the world so that our people won't be bullied by the refugees from beyond the Great Wall. I am your daughter. If I bow down to such a person, wouldn't that be like a tiger father giving birth to a dog daughter?"
"So what if she's a shrew or a vicious woman? If I'm going to be bullied by such people, I'd rather be a pig than a princess."
"Hahaha..." Bai Qing laughed heartily: "My son is just like me, just like me!"
"By imperial decree, the Sixteenth Princess is hereby granted the title of Princess Zhenguo, and the honorary title of Tianfu. Consort Li is hereby promoted to Noble Consort Li..." Rewards flowed from the emperor's mouth like water. Today, one family must be overjoyed while another is filled with sorrow... no, death.
Madam Jin first bullied the princess, then falsely accused her, and ordered her to help Jin Chang'an conceal the matter of Consort Yun. Although this was not stated in the case file, she was sentenced to be executed in the autumn. Although Lord Jin was not directly involved, he was also guilty of failing to investigate and was exiled three thousand miles away along with his clan.
Empress Jin's illness has worsened again...
...
Jin Chang'an's body parts were not buried. After being stitched together, Bai Qing ordered someone to bring them to Meng Ruoyun.
If a concubine doesn't even understand the most basic rules, then he doesn't mind showing her the price of stepping outside the rules.
"Aaaaaah!" Meng Ruoyun screamed repeatedly, "Take it away, take it away now!"
"I don't want to see! I don't want to see!"
The maidservant beside her quickly protected Meng Ruoyun and whispered words of comfort. Meng Ruoyun collapsed into her arms, crying. After the fear completely subsided, she gripped the maidservant's arm, her eyes filled with tears: "Young Master Jin... died for me."
"Help me fold some gold ingots," Meng Ruoyun ordered, sobbing. "I need to offer sacrifices to Young Master Jin tonight."
The palace maid hesitated for a moment, but knowing Consort Yun's personality, she could only nod helplessly: "Yes, Your Highness."
...
With the prince consort dead, Bai Yan was no longer considered a married princess. Bai Qing took her back to the palace and she stayed with Consort Li for a while. However, she still had to deal with the affairs of the textile factory, so it was inconvenient for her to come and go from the palace every day.
So Bai Qing set up a separate princess residence for her. There was an existing house, the Jin residence, which had just been ransacked and was still warm. After the plaque was removed, the plaque for Princess Tianfu's residence was quickly hung up.
The emperor's beloved daughter commissioned skilled craftsmen to renovate the already luxurious mansion, making it even more magnificent.
However, the fact that the former sixteenth princess, now the Zhenguo Princess Tianfu, personally murdered her husband and sent her parents-in-law to the execution ground has aroused controversy among the officials.
Bai Qing receives imperial edicts every day impeaching the princess, saying that she disrespected her parents-in-law and caused the death of her husband, and should be imprisoned in the ancestral temple...
A bunch of civil officials, killing them would cause controversy in the court and among the people, but not killing them would be too much trouble. They actually told him to lock his daughter in a boudoir to teach her manners? And they would make money for him while he was locked up?
Remembering the textile factory incident, Bai Qing called his daughter over.
"Tianfu, your princess residence is finished. It's just a pity that tomorrow is the day your mother-in-law is to be executed, which is a shame for such a wonderful housewarming day." Without his daughter, the textile factory's profits are clearly not as good as before, and Bai Qing is also anxious.
"Father, I'm moving tomorrow." Bai Yan knew what he was worried about and chuckled, "Their deaths were for breaking the law, and it was only right that they did so. If I, as a member of the royal family, were to move to my home, would I have to fear what people say? Wouldn't that make me a laughingstock?"
"Your subject will not only move, but will move openly and honestly."
Bai Qing looked at his daughter. She was just like him... She was perfect in every way, but unfortunately she was born a girl. If only she were a boy.
