Chapter 115 Let her become a nun?
The two men were brought in tied up, looking miserable and no longer as elegant as before.
The two were thrown heavily to the ground. Princess Yongning's heart sank, and she immediately bowed her head and pleaded guilty. "Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"Your Majesty, I was wrong. I shouldn't have been instigated by others and set my sights on Yun Zheng's abilities, wanting to keep her in the Ji family."
"But you can't blame me entirely. Yun Zheng's ability to make money is too strong. Who wouldn't be tempted?"
When she apologized, she did not forget to help Hei Yunzheng, blaming Yunzheng for being too capable and causing her to make a mistake.
The emperor looked down at the couple from a high position. He felt that he had treated them well and given them everything they deserved.
The female members of the royal family are headed by Princess Yongning, who is the most honorable.
What else is she dissatisfied with?
"That's all?"
Princess Yongning took a deep breath. "Yun Zheng and the Ninth Prince are too close, blocking my sister-in-law's path... I am severing their ties and devoting myself to the Ji family."
"The Ji family is weak, and my two children are mediocre. I have to make plans for them."
What she said was reasonable, but the emperor didn't believe a word of it.
"Why Ji Qi?"
Princess Yongning's heart was in her throat, and sweat broke out on her forehead from nervousness.
"Because he can't have children, no matter how much money he makes, he will end up making wedding clothes for my two children."
The emperor narrowed his eyes dangerously and looked at the other person, "Prince Consort, when did you know that Ji Qi was the son of the Crown Prince?"
Prince Consort Ji bowed his head to the ground, saying with deep fear, "I only found out about this when my grandfather passed away. So many years have passed, and I can only continue to conceal it. Your Majesty, our Ji family has absolutely no intention of rebellion. Please investigate."
The emperor's eyes were icy and terrifying. "To take in the son of a traitor is a grave crime."
Prince Consort Ji said bitterly, "I know this, but I have no choice. I know that something will happen one day, and I have been in constant fear for these past few years."
The emperor sneered, "So, that's why you're trying so hard to marry Yongning?"
Prince Consort Ji was silent for a long time, "Yes."
Princess Yongning closed her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive us this time for the past friendship between us siblings."
The emperor's brows were as cold as snow, "Someone must be held accountable for this."
Poisoned wine, a dagger, and white silk were presented to the couple.
"You make your own choice."
The two men were trembling all over, their faces as pale as paper.
Princess Yongning kowtowed so hard that her forehead bled, "Your Majesty, have mercy on me."
The emperor turned a blind eye and said, "Make your choice within one stick of incense, otherwise, you will fulfill the oath of the prince consort."
What oath? Ah, the entire Ji family will be executed.
A trace of despair rose in Prince Consort Ji's heart, "I am willing to die to atone for my sins, just ask that the Ji family be spared."
Princess Yongning held his hand, her eyes reddened, "Prince consort."
Prince Consort Ji looked at her deeply and said, "Take good care of the child."
After saying this, he waved her away, raised the poisoned wine and drank it all in one gulp, with an extremely resolute attitude.
Princess Yongning's heart was broken and her head was buzzing. "No, my husband doesn't want it."
Prince Consort Ji spat out a mouthful of black blood, all of which sprayed onto Princess Yongning, and then his body slowly fell down.
Princess Yongning rushed over and hugged him tightly, tears streaming down her face. "Prince Consort, please don't die."
As she cried, Prince Consort Ji twitched all over and slowly closed his eyes in pain.
Princess Yongning burst into tears and was in great pain. This was a heartbreaking act.
The emperor remained unmoved. "Princess Yongning and her husband have shown disrespect to the emperor. Their titles are revoked and they are to become nuns in the imperial temple."
"The Ji family has been barred from taking the imperial examinations for three generations."
The Ji clan members really didn't know Ji Qi's identity, nor did they know what Yongning and his wife were planning, so they let them go.
However, failure to pass the imperial examinations for three generations is enough to bring a family down to earth.
Yongning widened her eyes in disbelief. She was asked to become a nun?
"Your Majesty, you promised to let the Ji family go."
The emperor said calmly, "Yongning, I know very well whether you are telling the truth or not."
"I didn't sentence your entire family to death because of our past friendship, but there won't be a next time."
All the affection has been exhausted.
Yongning's face was ashen. It was too cruel. This was more painful than killing her.
How could there be any friendship between emperors? Haha, she was naive.
"I know I deserve death, but I beg you to give me a month to make arrangements for the lifelong affairs of my two children."
"allow."
Yongning kowtowed his head, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
When she was dragged out, she met Li Wuyang sitting in a wheelchair in the yard.
Hatred surged in her heart, and she shouted, "Ninth Brother, I have done you a favor, but you repay it with hatred. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"
Li Wuyang was puzzled, "A favor?"
Yongning was indignant. "If I hadn't recommended your mother to the Emperor, how could you and your son have achieved such prosperity and wealth? Without me, there would be no you. Is this how you repay such a great favor?"
Li Wuyang: ...
Some people never think they are wrong, and it is always others who are wrong.
It's impossible to reason with such people, they have their own logic.
He scoffed, "Sacrificing women to your father and letting him indulge in women is unfaithful."
"Betraying the mother who gave birth to you and raised you is unfilial."
"It's unkind to drug a woman who has a fiancé and ruin her life."
"How dare you, someone as disloyal, unkind, and unfilial as you, ask for a favor from me?"
Yongning's face flushed with anger, "You..."
Li Wuyang's expression was terrifyingly cold. "Just wait, you still have children."
Yongning's expression changed drastically. "Don't touch them."
"Heh." Li Wuyang sneered and pushed the wheelchair into the hall.
Watching his receding figure, Yongning became so angry that his eyes went dark and he passed out.
The emperor heard everything clearly in the hall, but did not ask a single question.
He waved his hand, "Royal brother, do you think there is someone behind Ji Qi?"
Li Wuyang said calmly, "Don't rush to sentence him to death. Let's see if Crown Prince Li has any backup plans. That night, Mr. Zhang, the Crown Prince's advisor, disappeared quietly. I have a feeling he's still alive and is keeping an eye on the capital. We have to lure him out."
The Crown Prince suddenly started a rebellion, and Mr. Zhang was behind the scenes giving advice. However, on the night of the coup, he suddenly disappeared from under the noses of the guards. This was too strange.
The emperor pondered for a moment, "Well, you go and handle this matter."
"yes."
Something new happened in the capital. The governor of Jinyun County was holding a charity auction. In addition to auctioning off the jewelry in the palace, there was also a talent competition among the young men and daughters of major families in the capital.
Everyone works together to raise funds for the Royal Salesian Bureau and for those displaced orphans. This is a show of boundless love.
This attracted the attention of countless people and triggered a wave of enthusiasm.
On this day, as soon as the court started, the censor came out.
"Your Majesty, I have a memorial to report. Princess Jinyun's high-profile charity auction has caused quite a stir in the city."
"I feel that Princess Jinyun is acting too ostentatiously and too high-profile. I implore Your Majesty to discipline her."
The emperor asked calmly, "How do we manage it?"
The censor cupped his hands and said, "Charity auctions should be left to the government, for example, our Censorate."
Good man, the discipline is fake, but picking peaches is real!
shameless!
