Dongfang Yunhe was taken away forcibly while crying.
In the hall, the emperor, the empress dowager, the queen, and even Concubine Wei were all looking at Liu Wuyou.
None of these people had imagined that the trial would end like this.
But the emperor is the emperor and he cannot lie with his eyes open. The evidence is right in front of him, so he has to punish Dongfang Yunhe.
"Liu Wuyou, I will let Yunhe reflect on her mistakes in the palace. How about three months?"
"I am fine now. I will follow your majesty's arrangements in everything." Liu Wuyou responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Three months of self-reflection? To put it bluntly, that's the same as no punishment at all.
But forget it, Liu Wuyou just wants to go home quickly and leave this smelly palace.
"Emperor, although Yunhe's poison wasn't fatal, it was still poison. Liu Wuyou came to the palace this time because he was summoned by the Empress. You must give the Liu family a proper explanation for this matter. Liu Zhaoyuan is loyal to you and he loves his wife and daughter very much. Please don't let him down."
The emperor listened to the empress dowager's quiet reminder and nodded. He thought about it and issued an edict.
-
The people stranded in the Imperial Garden finally received the good news that they could leave.
At the same time, I also received new news about the Liu family.
"Liu Wuyou is so lucky! Not only did he return to the Liu family safely after being missing for five or six years, but the first time he entered the palace, His Majesty bestowed upon him the title of County Lady! This is simply a meteoric rise to fame!"
"That's right! I don't know what kind of good luck she has. She seemed to have fainted after an argument with the princess, but how come she saved the princess' life and became her savior?"
…
It is naturally impossible for the ladies in the Imperial Garden to know the truth. The "truth" of this matter will be completely sealed in the main hall of Fushou Palace, and sealed at the moment when the emperor officially appoints Liu Wuyou as the county lord.
After hearing what the empress dowager said, the emperor felt that he should give the Liu family some comfort and shut up the Liu family, so he appointed Liu Wuyou as the county lord.
The Dongling Kingdom rewards women with three levels of titles: princess, county lady, and county lady. A princess must be the emperor's daughter, a county lady must be the prince's daughter, and the county lady is awarded by the emperor.
The rank of a county lady is the third grade, so the family members of officials, namely the wives of the first and second grade who have been granted imperial decrees, do not need to pay their respects to the county lady.
So now Liu Wuyou is really powerful, and naturally she will be envied and hated by other ladies.
But in the final analysis, the title of County Princess is just a title. It was not given by the emperor because he really liked her. He gave it to her for the sake of the royal family's face. Liu Wuyou really has nothing to be happy about.
What made her even happier was the reward the emperor gave her when he conferred the title of County Princess on her.
Because Liu Wuyou was weak, the emperor specially approved her to leave the palace in a sedan chair. The same was done for Madam Liu. When this news got out, there was a wave of envy, jealousy and hatred.
Leaving the palace, returning to Liu Mansion.
Only then did Liu Zhaoyuan learn what had happened to the mother and daughter in the palace. Soon after, the emperor sent someone to Liu's mansion to formally announce the imperial decree to confer the title of County Princess on them.
As soon as the palace maid left, Liu Zhaoyuan was so angry that he almost threw the imperial edict on the ground.
"Father, there's no need to be so angry. My daughter is truly fine now. The poison was mild and wouldn't have been lethal. The princess didn't intend to kill her. Now she's received so much compensation and even became a county lady. It's not a loss at all."
"If those poison needles hadn't been found, you would have been charged with the crime of framing the princess and sentenced to death! Don't they want to kill you? I think the princess just wanted to kill you, so she pretended to commit suicide and made things worse! It's so despicable!" Liu Zhaoyuan blew his beard and glared angrily.
