Chapter 175: Both under house arrest, one month turns into half a year
Yun Bailian's face turned pale and she remained silent.
She didn't know what imperial decree the emperor issued, but it was definitely not to lift the prince's house arrest.
Xiao Zirui was completely unaware and hurriedly stood up to go out to receive the order.
Yun Bailian followed behind tremblingly.
When the eunuch finished reading the imperial edict, Xiao Zirui was dumbfounded.
The imperial edict says...
Princess Yun Bailian was not sincere when she offered sacrifices to the heaven, which angered the heaven and punished her!
The Crown Princess was confined to her house for half a year and was not allowed to leave without being summoned!
The imperial edict also said...
The Crown Prince has bad morals and fails to discipline his children properly, which is why the Crown Princess did such a thing, causing the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people!
In order to make the prince reflect, he was confined to his house for half a year!
He also asked the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess to sincerely repent and take care of themselves!
After the eunuch finished reading the decree, he looked at the petrified Crown Prince, shook his head and sighed:
"Your Highness, please accept the order!"
Xiao Zirui accepted the imperial edict in a daze and sent off the eunuch who announced the edict, feeling as sad as if he had lost his parents.
"Brother Prince..." Yun Bailian carefully pulled the corner of his sleeve, trying to coax him.
Bang!!!
Xiao Zirui slapped her hard in the face!
"It's all because of you, a loser, that I've been dragged into this trouble!"
"What on earth did you do? You caused the wrath of heaven and man, and got me grounded for six months!"
"I actually believed your nonsense! I think you are a joke!"
The original confinement period was only one month, but now it has been extended to half a year. He has also been given a reputation for bad morals. He is about to explode with anger.
Yun Bailian covered her face with her hands and ran away crying.
Xiao Zirui flicked his sleeves coldly:
"Pass on my order. From now on, the Crown Princess is not allowed to leave her room. Let her reflect on her mistakes!"
As soon as Yun Bailian ran back to the room, she received a notice of house arrest and the guards were guarding outside the room.
She was dumbfounded.
He had just been ordered by the Emperor to be confined to his residence and not allowed to leave, but after all, the Prince's Mansion was very large, and there were beautiful scenery everywhere, so he could walk around every day without getting bored, so it wasn't that hard to endure.
But this time, I can’t even leave my room!
Yun Bailian threw a lot of things in anger, lay on the bed and cried for a while, then suddenly sat up.
She suddenly remembered that she fell from the high steps of the altar and rolled to the bottom, but she was not hurt at all?
Yun Bailian quickly moved around a few times and checked her whole body.
There wasn't even a bruise, no damage at all!
A light suddenly lit up in her heart.
He's fine even after falling from such a height. Doesn't this just prove that his luck is still there?
So this disaster must not be my fault!
Someone must have deliberately harmed her!
But the prince would definitely not believe anything she said now.
Yun Bailian was a little depressed, but then she thought, as long as she could prove that there was no problem with her luck, the prince would definitely understand!
She immediately took out the wooden box from under the bed and took out the bronze mirror again.
Looking at the crystal beads of luck overflowing from it, Yun Bailian secretly clenched his fists.
I have to appease the Crown Prince first, and then I can find my mother and ask her to find the master to find out who is harming me!
…
“Hahahahahahahahahahaha…”
Zhiluo rolled around in the air, holding her stomach, and laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.
"You haven't seen it, the common people are so creative in scolding Yun Bailian... and they're even calling her shit. Hahahahahaha, it's making me die of laughter..."
Yun Qingqing picked up the teacup and took a sip, looking at her speechlessly:
"So, this is why you reminded me to bring an umbrella?"
In front of her was the bronze mirror that she had stolen from Yun Bailian. When she saw this thing, she already understood how Yun Bailian planned to show the "miracle".
Zhiluo promised to leave the matter to her. Yun Qingqing knew her abilities, so she let her do it with confidence.
Unexpectedly...
On the way back, Manager Li caught up with her and quietly asked her why she had brought an umbrella with her as she knew the future.
She knew that the emperor was trying to trick her, so she said seriously:
"I always carry an umbrella with me when I go out. It protects me from the sun when it's sunny and from the rain when it's rainy."
"Uh... then one is enough for you, why did you bring two?" The eunuch was obviously not convinced.
Yun Qingqing sighed and said quietly:
"The other one is for my prince. He's used to it. Now he's in the far northwest, and I haven't gotten used to it yet."
"...I see. The Regent and his wife are truly a loving couple!"
Li Zongguan reported back without a doubt...
Yun Qingqing withdrew her thoughts and took a sip of tea with the corners of her lips pressed down.
"Hey!" Zhiluo came up to her.
"You don't think I'm going a little too far, do you?"
"It's a bit immoral." Yun Qingqing raised a thumbs-up.
“Well done!”
Zhiluo finally stopped laughing and looked at the bronze mirror on the table with a restrained expression.
"What are you going to do with this weird thing?"
"I've already dealt with it." Yun Qingqing said calmly, "Whoever used it to steal someone else's luck before will return it in full with their future luck."
Zhiluo sighed:
"That's amazing! Does Yun Bailian have so much luck in this life? I'm afraid she won't be able to repay it in her next life!"
Yun Qingqing didn't show any signs of fluctuation:
"If she can't pay it off herself, these karmic debts will not only continue to be paid in her next life, but will also extend to her descendants. When they are fully paid off, that will be the end."
"Oh, by the way, her husband and wife will naturally be implicated as well." Yun Qingqing raised the corners of her lips.
"So," Zhiluo sighed, "doing more good and less evil is the righteous way of life. Engaging in those crooked ways may seem to bring temporary gains, but in fact, they are foolish acts that are not worth the cost!"
"Okay, I'm going back to Tianming Pavilion. If you need anything, remember to call me. I'll be there at your beck and call."
Zhiluo and Yun Qingqing have signed a contract, and her call can be sensed from thousands of miles away.
Her figure turned into a puff of smoke and disappeared.
After that day, the story of the Crown Princess spread throughout the capital.
Memorials impeaching the Crown Princess piled up like snowflakes in the court, even more numerous than the impeachment against the Crown Prince.
However, these memorials have not yet reached the emperor.
Because the emperor was sick again due to anger.
Maybe it wasn't just because he was angry, but also because he was laughing too happily at the time, with his mouth wide open, and he took in a lot of "auspicious signs".
In short, the emperor has been unable to eat these days, feels like vomiting at the slightest provocation, and has diarrhea.
But the imperial physician was very anxious and tried every possible way to feed him all kinds of nourishing medicines, so that he didn't starve to death.
On this day, the emperor was lying on the dragon bed resting as instructed by the doctor when the queen arrived.
She should have been meditating in the temple, but after such a big incident, the queen could no longer sit still.
Yun Bailian followed behind her.
When the emperor saw Yun Bailian, he was so angry that he sat up from the dragon bed.
"What are you doing here? Are you going to disobey my orders? Go back and be confined to your room!"
The queen winked at Yun Bailian, walked quickly to the dragon bed, and saluted the emperor.
Yun Bailian knelt down politely:
"Your Majesty, your son greets you. I admit my mistake. Your Majesty, please calm down. Your health is more important!"
The Queen also said:
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself. I found the Crown Princess. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."
Everyone in the court knew that the emperor respected and relied on the empress the most, so no one would stop the empress from going to the prince's mansion to bring Yun Bailian into the palace.
Sure enough, when the emperor heard that it was the queen's intention, his expression finally eased a lot.
"Why are you here? What's the point of bringing her here?"
The Queen sighed and said:
"I heard that on the day of the Heavenly Sacrifice, the Crown Princess was frightened and fell off the altar."
The emperor was stunned:
"There is such a thing? How could I not know..."
He stopped talking halfway, and became angry when he thought about the situation at that time.
He, the true dragon emperor, is already busy taking care of himself, so who has the time to pay attention to whether the Crown Princess falls or not!
But although I thought so in my heart, I couldn't say it in front of the Queen.
The emperor said with a stern face:
"Did the Crown Princess get hurt?"
The Queen was waiting for his words and said solemnly:
"According to the ministers who were walking last that day, the Crown Princess fell heavily from the top steps all the way to the bottom."
"Really?" The emperor looked at Yun Bailian with a scrutinizing gaze.
