Because of the matter of the Xi family, the New Year's banquet in the palace was filled with an inexplicable meaning.

After the banquet, the routine song and dance performance started on time.But the wonderful performance of the court musicians this time is undoubtedly winking to the blind, and everyone has no intention of watching it, just want to eat the follow-up melons.

They wanted to know how the emperor would deal with the Xi family after the investigation results came out.
Xi Mubai's eldest brother, Xi Muqing, can be said to be suffering like a light on his back.

Because of Zhao Xiuxiu's defected insider, the other two nuns who were bought by Mrs. Xi were quickly arrested. In the room where the two nuns lived, the bank notes and two fingers given by Mrs. Xi were also found. A pure ruby ​​as big as blood.

In addition, all the servants in Bai Cairen Palace were taken away and brought to the Department of Punishment.

Before the penultimate dance was over, the results of the investigation were sent to the emperor and the empress dowager.

Emperor Rong Ji looked at it, but smiled instead, "Let Xi Qing take a look."

With trembling hands, Xi Muqing took over the pleading paper, which clearly listed various crimes. When he saw the contents clearly, his back suddenly hunched, and his energy was taken away from him in an instant.

He closed his eyes, filled with despair.

Grandma is really going to kill the Xi family this time.

Threatening the concubines in the harem, bribing the nanny in the palace... These crimes are even more serious than plotting against Yuan Baoshu.

Xi Muqing knew that her grandmother had always been bold and reckless, but she didn't expect that the other party would die at all. She wanted to court death herself, so why dragged them along.Perhaps Grandma thought she had done everything she could, and that what she had done would not be discovered, but she was really foolish.

He said with a look of despair: "The Xi family deserves death."

The evidence is all there, and if you try to quibble, it will only be one more charge of not repenting.Xi Muqing only hoped that the Son of Heaven would let their eldest family live because they were kept in the dark.

The emperor said lightly: "Even a concubine can be threatened, Mrs. Xi is capable of being an old lord at home."

Xi Muqing kept kowtowing, and he couldn't do anything else.After a while, there was a blood-red spot on the ground.

Yuan Suijun took a look at Xi Muqing and said, "Your Majesty, let Master Xi get up. I think Master Xi should know nothing about this matter, otherwise he will stop it immediately."

Xi Muqing himself is a senior, so there is no need to pin his head on his waist for his cousin, Xi Mubai.

Even he has heard about the situation of the Xi family.Mrs. Xi has always favored Xi Mubai, the youngest grandson, if it wasn't for the inheritance of the Xi family's title, which was determined by General Xi who was still alive at the time, the eldest family might not be able to successfully inherit the title.

This time Xi Mubai caused trouble, but it was Xi Muqing who kowtowed to the point of blood.

Although Yuan Suijun hated Xi Mubai and Mrs. Xi, he didn't want to blame Xi Muqing together.

The other courtiers only felt that Mr. Yuan Sui was really an upright and upright gentleman, and that even in such an angry situation, he could not take his anger out on others.

Xi Muqing gave Yuan Suijun a grateful look, and hated his grandmother and cousin even more.The grandmother knew in her heart that her cousin was muddy and couldn't support the wall, but she didn't push him to make progress, and let him be a playboy. wives.How selfish and short-sighted she is!
Rong Ji said: "Xi Qing, get up."

His anger also subsided a little, mainly because the client was not in front of him.Moreover, Mrs. Xi is Xi Muqing's elder, so Xi Muqing naturally cannot disobey him.

Of course, Mrs. Xi is undoubtedly the mastermind of the whole thing, so naturally she can't let it go lightly.

Rong Jixia's first will was related to Mrs. Xi.

"Xi Cui's conduct is poor, and she is unworthy of being an imperial wife. Now she is deprived of her imperial mandate and demoted to a commoner. Send her back to Xi's mansion, confine her for a year, copy scriptures in front of the Buddha, and repent for her crimes."

Lost her imperial order, and became a commoner. From now on, as long as Mrs. Xi is out, even if she sees the lowest-ranked imperial wife, she will have to salute to them.This is enough to break down the proud Mrs. Xi, I'm afraid she won't have the face to attend the house in the future.

Madam Xi was not beaten directly, on the one hand it was because Madam Xi was getting old, and she suffered from the cold today, so she might not be able to survive the beating with the stick.On the other hand, it was for the sake of General Xi, who died young.If that person hadn't been injured on the battlefield, he wouldn't have left early.For this reason, Rong Ji agreed to the Xi family's granddaughter to marry Zhen Wang as his wife.

The blood on Xi Muqing's face returned a little, which was much better than he had imagined.His Majesty still opened the net.After returning, he will ask people to build a small Buddhist hall, and grandma will stay in the Buddhist hall in the future.

As for his cousin Xi Mubai, Xi Muqing knew in his heart that since the emperor beat him with fifty army sticks before, it meant that he would not be killed.If his life is still alive, even if he is disabled, it doesn't matter.

He only hoped that after his cousin had gone through this incident, he would be able to keep himself safe in the future and not cause such disasters again.In the future, grandma will not be able to protect anyone.

Having been deprived of her royal status, punished for copying Buddhist scriptures and being grounded, with a label of poor conduct on her body, Mrs. Xi will no longer be able to point fingers at the Xi family in the future.

For Xi Mubai, apart from the previous fifty army sticks, Rong Ji also issued another order.

This purpose was inspired by Su Yueling.He thinks that Su Yueling's punishment method is quite good, either castrate her into the palace, or marry Zhao Xiuxiu back.The previous idea was too narrow. Although he really wanted to watch the excitement, Rong Ji suppressed the eagerness in his heart and chose the remaining one.

"The court lady Zhao Xiuxiu and Xi Mubai are in love with each other. They are a natural couple. Today, she is specifically referring to marriage as Xi Mubai's official wife. I hope Xi Mubai can cherish her affection, treat her wholeheartedly, and treat her with respect as a guest."

Rong Ji couldn't hold his nose and praise the virtues of the two of them, so he directly said that they were a natural couple, and locked them up with this marriage decree.As for Xi Mubai, hehe, now that he has such a regular wife, don't even think about other concubines.

The other ministers almost laughed out loud when they heard the marriage.

It seems that the emperor really hated Xi Mubai, not only asked him to marry a court lady as his official wife, but also asked him to guard his body like a jade for such a court lady.For the flirtatious and beautiful Xi Mubai, it might be more uncomfortable than killing him.

After hearing the imperial decree, Xi Muqing heaved a sigh of relief, and knelt down to thank him again.

The other ministers looked at him like this, and felt that he was quite pitiful. This time, he was troubled by his cousin.

Those who should be punished have been punished, and those who should be rewarded should also be rewarded.

Rong Ji used the fact that Su Yueling and Yuan Baoshu were frightened in the palace as an excuse, and a steady stream of rewards were sent over in this way. The abundance was so enviable that it made people feel once again how strong the family of the Yuan family is.

Rong Ji originally wanted to announce the identity of his nephew today, but now he has changed his mind and plans to wait until February [-]th, the Longevity Day, to announce it.

This year happens to be his [-]th birthday, and the princes and princes of other fiefdoms will come to Beijing to congratulate him, and even all countries will send envoys.On such an occasion, he is more worthy of his nephew, and he can be canonized as the king of the county at that time, so that others will not underestimate him.If their status is high enough, will Cui still dare to plot?

Rong Ji only felt that Yuan Suijun and Su Yueling had been greatly wronged, and the rewards could only barely soothe their wounded hearts.

If the other courtiers know his heart, I'm afraid they will bleed: Is this called being wronged?They are willing to suffer such grievances a hundred times.
