Chapter 213 Entering the Palace and Divorcing
Three quarters past noon, Bianjing City.
There were a lot of people gathered in front of the gate of the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion, and the imperial guards surrounded the mansion in three layers inside and outside.
The prince standing in front of the Yongyi Marquis's mansion had a gloomy expression on his face.
He was already angry because he didn't wait for Qin Junyi to take Shangguan Jing to the Prince's Mansion last night. When he learned that Qi Zhan from Kaifeng Prefecture went to the palace to meet Emperor Ren De overnight, he sent someone to the palace to inquire.
After vaguely learning that the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion was colluding with Shangguan Yan, and even that the Jin people were colluding with the Liao people, the Marquis.
The prince was furious in the mansion, thinking about Qin Junyi's recent behavior and the fact that Qin Junyi cared more about Shangguan Jing's affairs than before.
Only then did he realize that Qin Junyi had tricked him.
The prince's intentions towards the Shangguan family have always been obvious. Now Shangguan Yan and Marquis Yongyi have secretly colluded to do such a thing. Doesn't this mean that he doesn't take Emperor Ren De seriously?
I also understand why Emperor Ren De is unwilling to care about the Shangguan family anymore.
Shangguan Yan's loyalty to Emperor Rende had long since changed.
I have already had second thoughts.
The discussions around were one louder than the other.
The people of Dayin hate clans that collude with foreigners the most, and now the border is at war with the Jin people, and the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion actually did such a thing.
The entire people of Bianjing were angry.
At this time, someone close to the Crown Prince came up to him and said, "There's still no news about Qin Junyi and Shangguan Jing."
The prince snorted coldly. These two really deceived him badly!
Dongchang Marquis Chen Yun walked out of the Yongyi Marquis's mansion with two secret letters in his hands and walked towards the prince.
When the prince saw Shen Yun coming out, his expression tightened again: "Lord Shen."
"Your Highness." Shen Yun bowed and presented the secret letter in his hands. "We only found two secret letters. One of them is in Liao language. I think they knew the truth and destroyed the others. These two haven't been destroyed yet."
The prince's face was extremely ugly. He took the secret letter from Shen Yun's hand and thought that several other letters had already fallen into the hands of the emperor.
He took a deep breath and said, "Throw them all into prison, seal off the Marquis of Yongyi's mansion, and wait for the emperor to decide their fate!"
"Yes!" Shen Yun felt a chill down his spine. Marquis Yongyi had been on the battlefield for half his life, but he did something like this. How could he be worthy of the ancestors of the Qin family?
Everyone in the mansion of Marquis Yongyi, from the master to the maids and servants, were taken away by the imperial guards.
Qin Junyi and Shangguan Jing, who were hiding in the alley, were watching the scene at the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion. However, overnight, the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion had undergone earth-shaking changes.
After Qin Junyi escaped from the palace, he planned to return to the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion, but found himself surrounded by imperial guards.
He knew something had happened, and he thought it was because of Shangguan Jing.
But later on, people gradually learned why the imperial guards surrounded the Marquis Yongyi's mansion.
At that moment he realized that the moment he came back from the border and spoke to Xie Rongying, he had fallen into Xie Rongying's trap.
Whether it was what Xie Rongying said about the relationship between Concubine Chen and Shangguan Yan, or the high-sounding words that Xie Rongying and he said about husband and wife being one.
All these were Xie Rongying's attempt to destroy the Yongyi Marquis Mansion.
Even his plan to use Shangguan Jing to test Concubine Chen last night was part of Xie Rongying's plan.
He wanted to see Concubine Chen's attitude, wanted to take advantage of Concubine Chen's vigilance against Shangguan Jing, wanted Concubine Chen to take action against Shangguan Jing, and wanted Emperor Ren De to suspect Concubine Chen.
After all, regarding the matter of the Empress Dowager, Emperor Ren De had already started to stir up trouble behind the scenes, disrupting the situation in Bian Jing.
Unexpectedly, when he was trying to plot, Xie Rongying had already played him around.
Okay, okay!
Xie Rongying could calculate every step, and was even ruthless enough to escape unscathed from the Yongyi Marquis's mansion even though her life was hanging by a thread.
He was also reduced to a state where everyone hated him.
My father’s life’s work was destroyed in an instant!
What is the difference between the Yongyi Marquis Mansion today and the Shangguan family back then?
How could Xie Rongying be so cruel?!
How could she be so cruel?
Since she married into the Yongyi Marquis's Mansion, he had admitted to plotting against her, but she had not suffered any actual harm.
Does she hate it so much?
Do you hate him so much?
Hate the Yongyi Marquis Mansion?
Do you want to charge the Yongyi Marquis Mansion with the crime of treason and collaborating with the enemy?
"Let's go." Shangguan Jing said coldly: "I have arranged a route out of the city. If you don't leave now, you will really be stuck."
Qin Junyi's eyes were red and full of coldness.
Shangguan Jing pulled Qin Junyi and disappeared into the dark alley.
——
Xie Jing went to the palace, and Emperor Ren De met him in Yanhe Hall.
Emperor Ren De roughly guessed why Xie Jing appeared, and Emperor Ren De also heard that Xie Rongying was seriously injured.
He was even glad that Xie Rongying had exposed the collusion between Marquis Yongyi and Shangguan Yan because he was afraid that the Marquis Yongyi's Mansion would bring trouble to the Xie family.
Therefore, Emperor Ren De directly agreed to Xie Jing's request that Xie Rongying and Qin Junyi divorce.
The divorce agreement was drafted by Xie Jing himself and Emperor Ren De issued an edict.
As long as the divorce agreement is stamped by the government, Xie Rongying and Qin Junyi will have no relationship from then on.
After leaving the palace, Xie Jing returned to Kaifeng Prefecture and directly pulled Qi Zhan to stamp the official seal on the divorce agreement.
After finishing a series of things, it was already noon.
When Xie Jing returned to the room, Old Lady Xie was guarding Xie Rongying, personally wiping Xie Rongying's limbs with a wet towel.
"Mother." Xie Jing walked forward.
Dongxue and Cuizhi tactfully walked out of the room, and the doctor followed them out.
Xie Changfeng and Xie Ting stepped forward one after another.
Xie Jing took out the divorce agreement from his sleeve and handed it to Mrs. Xie personally.
Mrs. Xie clutched a corner of the divorce agreement tightly and said, "Rongying doesn't have a fever anymore, but she hasn't woken up yet. The doctor said she can't be moved easily and can only go back after a few days. I'll stay here with Rongying during this time."
"Mother." Xie Jing looked at the pale Xie Rongying, feeling a growing sense of guilt. "It's all my fault."
"I've just sent someone to inform the Yan family." Old Lady Xie wiped her eyes again: "Rongying is her daughter. If anything really happened to her... I think Rongying would also want her mother to be by her side."
Xie Jing's back arched when he heard the name Yan.
Seeing that Xie Jing didn't respond, Mrs. Xie raised her eyes and stared at him: "Is it at this moment that all resentment and hatred are gone?"
Xie Jing lowered his head and said nothing.
"When Yan comes, you'd better stay away. She probably doesn't want to see you." Old Lady Xie ordered coldly.
Xie Jing: "Yes, mother."
Xie Ting and Xie Changfeng saw that Xie Jing seemed to have aged a lot, so they stepped forward to support Xie Jing. When they were about to leave the room, Old Lady Xie held Xie Rongying's hand and moved it.
"Rongying?" Old Mrs. Xie exclaimed in surprise: "Rongying?"
Xie Rongying felt her eyelids were very heavy, as if she had had a very long dream. She had just died in the fire of the Qin family's ancestral hall, so how could she see her grandmother in her eyes?
She shouted with difficulty: "Grandma?"
