The Zichen Hall is different from the Xuanzheng Hall.
But wherever the emperor was, there was always solemnity and majesty.
Farces like today are common, of course; if they happen, they're not farces anymore.
The old man still wanted to cause trouble.
Huan Yue finally understood that his identity was rather special.
Xie Si was the third son of the Prince of Deng. The Prince of Deng's eldest son, second son, and eldest grandson had all died, and the current heir to the title was his great-grandson, who was one generation younger than the Prince of Song.
Xie Si should have been able to be enfeoffed as a prince, having lived to such an old age; but he had acted recklessly, so now he is only a Marquis of Xiangcheng, which is far better than others.
However, Xie Si was unhappy about failing to seize the throne from the Prince of Deng and losing his title as a prince.
Since the King of Dai had no heir, he chose Xie Si's youngest son, so the King of Dai is now Xie Si's biological son.
Xie Si then tried to make himself the Prince of Dai, just like he did during the Great Rites Controversy.
The Prince of Dai will definitely not allow this. Are they really taking advantage of their lack of support?
Even the Prince of Dai himself might not be happy that his father was still above him.
According to patriarchal tradition, the Prince of Dai was not called Xie Si's father.
However, Xie Si would still act arrogantly because of his age and cause trouble for no reason. He was a generation older than the King of Song, but not as noble as the King of Song.
Inside the palace, Dong Shi was also in a rather miserable state.
The immediate priority is to deal with her: "Dong Shi is demoted to the rank of Beauty."
Huan Yue thought to himself, "I owe her." How could she jump so quickly, only to be left with nothing before the New Year?
Ms. Dong didn't care at all; she only had one goal.
The emperor ignored her and ordered the imperial physician to continue the diagnosis.
A group of imperial physicians knelt on the ground, wishing they were dead.
However, there were a few who didn't get involved. They just went about their business, saying that if the ruler wanted a subject to die, that subject would die, let alone someone who was just doing manual labor.
After the first consultation, I was curious: "No miscarriage, and the slippery pulse is gone."
The second hand trembled, so I had to be careful; if I made a mistake, I'd definitely lose my head.
The third one is a bit urgent. False pregnancy is not uncommon, but it is rare to find medication that can suppress it.
The imperial physician hadn't even started when he said, "Three bowls of abortion medicine..." This body is quite resilient.
Pei Huanying is currently being held down; she is not only weak and helpless, but she can't even die.
Who else would dare to interfere? It would be better to say they didn't know, otherwise what would they be doing—deceiving the emperor?
No one could have imagined that such a wise ruler would do such a thing.
Even if Huan Yue wanted to take action, everyone was ready to bite her, but the emperor was a different story.
If the pregnancy is short, less than a month, then how come everyone is certain it's a sacred seed and has made a scene in the palace? Are you kidding me?
Three imperial physicians confirmed that Pei Huanying's method of treatment was indeed unnecessary.
The other imperial physicians trembled, knowing that he was unlikely to survive.
Pei Huanying turned her pleading gaze to the Crown Prince.
Everyone says the Crown Prince is kind and benevolent, but didn't you see how pitiful she looks?
Huan Yue felt that while it was tragic, being provocative was wrong, so he forced her to take action: "Your Majesty, could it be that the treasure is hiding itself? Knowing that Your Majesty uses three bowls of medicine, it has gone into hiding. It will wait until it is sixteen months pregnant before it is born. Before Your Majesty proves whether it is human or demon, it is not good to kill it with one blow. Or, before sixteen months are up, the Prince of Qi will come with his son and ask Your Majesty to recognize his grandson. If Your Majesty does not recognize him, it will tarnish Your Majesty's reputation."
The emperor angrily retorted: "Nonsense! How can the imperial bloodline be claimed so arbitrarily? These imperial physicians have already proven that if it doesn't exist, it doesn't exist."
King Shen asked Qing'e, "What treasure is concealed?"
Huan Yue whispered, "It's like when you're a kid, you're silly and everyone laughs at you; but when you finally show your true colors, everyone will be dumbfounded."
The Emperor has decreed: "Both members of the Pei family, large and small, are to be executed!"
Yes! The eunuch dragged Pei Huanying away.
Pei Huanying panicked and shouted, "Pei Huanyue, why did you harm me? My son is in my belly! He is a holy child! You slut, you're jealous of me! I curse you to die a horrible death!"
King Qi quickly pleaded, "I beg Your Majesty to show mercy."
Huan Yue asked, "You were completely unaware of this?"
The question now is: "Who else is unaware of this?"
A large group of people knelt down!
Xie Si was unwilling: "True Lord Yu Chen said it!"
The emperor was furious: "My Great Zhao is not what they say! Xie Si has been demoted to a commoner and his family property has been confiscated by the government."
Xie Si protested, "Your Majesty!"
He angrily rebuked: "Though you are old, do not speak nonsense! You are spreading heresy and misleading the public!"
The King of Dai had no choice but to plead: "The Marquis of Xiangcheng is already quite old."
The current admonition is: "You should be careful with your words and actions, and set an example for future generations. He is your biological father, so take him in and raise him well."
The Prince of Dai was immediately angered.
Xie Si was overjoyed. Although he had lost his title as Marquis of Xiangcheng, he could now rightfully enter the inner sanctum of the Prince of Dai's mansion. Wouldn't the Prince of Dai's mansion treat him like an ancestor?
The Prince of Dai knew he was a troublemaker. That old geezer! The Prince of Dai's residence is in for a world of trouble!
Although the patriarchal lineage dictates that the successor king was not Xie Si's son, that is the fact. It wasn't wrong for him to be allowed to support Xie Si in his old age.
Huan Yue then thought the sage was amazing.
She wouldn't plead for Pei Huanying. A fake pregnancy disguised as a holy seed? She deserved to die.
As for why Pei Huanfeng was also sentenced to death? Well, she was pretending to be a phoenix, so why keep her alive?
No one pleaded for Pei Huanfeng, but they kept glancing at Huan Yue.
Huan Yue was very composed.
Xie Zhou is very steady, so his wife is not lonely.
Ultimately, it's a matter for the King of Qi.
Xie Qi is now awaiting sentencing.
Madam Dong quickly protected her son, saying, "How would he know anything about women's affairs?"
Huan Yue chuckled: "This concerns the offspring, causing such a stir throughout the city. Is the King of Qi deaf or blind? Doesn't he know what his woman is doing or whether she's been cuckolded? Yet he's overjoyed to hear about the imperial offspring? What are you pretending to be, innocent?"
King Shen rebuked him: "You have no caution at all; how can you act like a king?"
All the kings were mentioned.
Madam Dong suddenly remembered: "Didn't the emperor send them?"
Huan Yue laughed: "You're pretending, yet you still think you're a pure white lotus? When the Prince of Qi brings Lady Pei into the palace, does he need to pretend anymore?"
The King of Song said coldly, "Are the two of you going to the Eastern Palace to cause trouble?"
Huan Yue said, "It's easy to spread rumors, but I wouldn't dare to utter a single word against it. It's thanks to His Majesty's wisdom that this matter was resolved. Otherwise, if the foundation of the Great Zhao were shaken, who knows who would be laughing at us?"
The sage's decisive action was truly commendable; Huan Yue condemned him to eternal damnation.
Duke Zheng said, "If you have nothing in your belly, why go to the East Palace and try to get something for nothing?"
If you don't know it's fake, then you can say whatever you want.
It would be ridiculous if this were exposed.
Xie Yu lowered her head. To be honest, if Huan Yue were pregnant, her father would be extremely careful; how could he dare to force-feed three bowls of medicine?
Pei Huanying's methods were clever enough that the imperial physicians couldn't detect anything.
Huan Yue thought to himself, "Violence will prevail!"
Does being an emperor require so much talk? If today's events were to spread, no one would say much.
Still dare to talk nonsense? Now we'll see what fate awaits Zichan Mountain and Jade Dust True Monarch.
Daring to oppose imperial power, shouldn't we punish him before the New Year?
Xie Zhou planned to thoroughly clean up Zichan Mountain and the surrounding area.
For a serious illness, strong medicine is needed.
If Zichanshan dares to cause trouble again, then give it a try!
Don't be fooled by the fact that it's not an external enemy or a dark force; its harm is no less significant.
They amass wealth through various means, and with more demands, don't be surprised if they become emperor one day.
Just for their wealth, Xie Zhou would rob them of it; there are so many places where he needs to spend money.
Look how thrifty his wife is. Isn't it good to have money to support her?
