Chapter 229
Cui Ru was flattered to be loved so much by the son.

"Thank you husband."

Cui Ru lowered her head and smiled, and hurriedly changed Zhao Yi's clothes.

"You are the right lady that my matchmaker is marrying, so I will treat you well." Zhao Yi took the clothes from Cui Ru's hands, and said again: "I can do it myself, the soup is not good, you can use it first. "

"Thank you, husband, for your compassion."

Seeing Cui Ru drink the soup, Zhao Yi secretly sneered.

He had just finished dressing when Gao Lu came to report.

"My lord, Princess Changqing didn't make it through this morning, she has already passed away. Now the people from Zhongchanghou's Mansion are on their way to Da Nei, and they want to ask for an explanation for the princess."

"what?"

Cui Ru put down the bowl in panic and sat on the chair, her face turned pale and her hands and feet were cold.

"Okay, I understand, you go down first."

After Gao Lu left, Cui Ru put down the bowl in panic.

"Husband, what should I do?"

"It's okay, I was just drunk for a while, not to mention, how can I tell if it's the princess or whoever is so far away?" Zhao Yi said.

Cui Ru nodded, "It was Changqing County who presided over the knife wounding. She and Shen Qinglan had a feud, that's why it happened. There is always an excuse."

"You can talk to mother for a while, don't worry about outside affairs, I will take care of it myself." Zhao Yi said.

After hearing this, Cui Ru felt much more at ease.

Zhao Yi didn't eat breakfast, and when he left the courtyard, he met King Heng.

"The son has seen the father."

King Heng said with a cold face, "Hmph, after drinking some wine, he started to act recklessly! What's the difference between you and your younger brother?"

"The son lost his hand for a while."

Zhao Yi's understatement is exactly the same as when Zhao Shun hurt Wei Yuqing's appearance.

King Heng didn't expect his eldest son to be such a cold-blooded person.

"Changqing is your cousin after all, don't you feel guilty at all?"

Zhao Yi sighed softly, "Father, the presiding officer of Changqing County stabbed people, and my son really missed it for a while."

"That's all, you caused the trouble yourself, I won't clean it up for you, you can solve it yourself!"

"The son doesn't dare to let the father bother, and he will definitely handle it properly."

Without waiting for someone to summon him, Zhao Yi changed into his official uniform and went directly to Da Nei.

In Chongque Palace, His Majesty and the Empress sat on high seats in the main hall, and the members of the Wei family knelt together.

"Minister Zhao Yi, see Your Majesty, see the Queen."

"Zhao Yi! How dare you come here! You hurt my sister's life, you murderer!" Zhongchang Hou Wei Yuhang said angrily.

"I came here precisely for this matter, Your Majesty, I have something to argue."

Zhao Yi knelt in the center of the hall, fisted with both hands, without any shame.

"allow."

The emperor was also a little annoyed. Zhao Yi and Zhao Shun had always been at odds with each other. He had known for a long time that the Lord of Pingyang County was Zhao Shun's favorite, but he didn't expect Zhao Yi to make a move.

However, what the Wei family is doing now is indeed too much.

Relying on Ouchi's favor, Chang Qing did whatever he wanted.

"Your Majesty, yesterday I married Cui Shangshu's grandson and invited many guests. Not long after the wedding banquet, I passed the garden of Prince Heng's Mansion drunk, and encountered a group of gangsters who surrounded a girl and her maid. It was a murder with a knife, intending to hurt the woman's life, so I shot an arrow to help. I wanted to frighten the villain, but I didn't want to hit her in the stomach. I didn't know that this person was the princess of Changqing, and I didn't know that the injured person was my younger brother. Fiancee, Pingyang county lord." Zhao Yi said.

"Pingyang County Lord?"

Only then did the queen understand why this happened, and asked again: "Then, is the Lord Pingyang injured?"

"Go back to Your Royal Highness, the county lord is not injured."

The queen glanced at the emperor, sighed and said nothing.

"Nonsense! Your Excellency, do you have proof that my sister committed a murder with a knife?" Wei Yuhang retorted.

Zhao Yi took out a dagger, handed it to His Majesty's servant, and said, "Your Majesty, this is exactly the knife used by the princess at that time, and the word Wei is engraved on it."

"Everyone in my Wei family has such a dagger, so what does that mean?" Wei Yuhang asked again.

"I picked up this dagger in the garden of the palace. Excuse me, Lord Marquis, only you and the princess were the only members of the Wei clan who attended my wedding banquet. Why did you come to my palace with a knife to have a wedding wine? As the host, why do you Want to hurt my cousin for no reason on my own big day?"

As Zhao Yi said, he took out another dagger, "Your Majesty! I have one more thing to do, but Your Majesty is the master!"

Wei Yuhang was startled when he saw another bloody dagger.

"allow."

"Your Majesty, Marquis Wei took the initiative to provoke me at my wedding banquet and injured Shen Qingshi, the official of the imperial court. It's unbelievable! The presiding officer of Changqing County wounded people with a knife, and Wei Houye used a knife to commit murder, and all the guests in the hall can testify!"

"Weihou, what's going on?" His Majesty asked.

Wei Yuhang knelt down on the ground, "Return to Your Majesty, the minister was drunk and lost his hand for a while."

"Returning to Your Majesty, I was also drunk and lost my hand for a while." Zhao Yi raised his voice.

"How does this compare? My lord, my sister lost her life, and Shen Qingshi was only injured!" Wei Yuhang said.

"So, Weihou is admitting what he has done?"

"you!"

"That's all!" the emperor stopped, "It seems that this is a muddled account, but I can understand it. Come, Zhao Yi, the son of King Heng, accidentally injured the life of the princess, and he was banned from the palace for a month. Wei Yuhang, Marquis of Zhongchang, accidentally injured Shen Qingshi, an official of the Ministry of Punishment, and was imprisoned for one month and punished fifty times with a stick."

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! My sister died unjustly! Your Majesty!"

Wei Yuhang begged bitterly, the emperor stood up, and said: "I have a very headache, go back and rest first, if Wei Hou still refuses to accept, let's talk about it in a month."

Wei Yuhang couldn't believe that His Majesty let her sister die so easily!

A human life is worth a hundred bucks, and I have to pay fifty bucks!

Heaven is unfair!
"Farewell to Your Majesty, Congratulations to the Empress!"

After His Majesty and the Queen left, Zhao Yi also stood up and smiled at Wei Yuhang, "Wei Hou, let's go together, the guards outside are still waiting for execution!"

"Hmph! Don't be too complacent! You hurt Qingqing's life, and the queen mother will not let you go!" Wei Yuhang said.

"Heh!" Zhao Yi sneered, raised his eyebrows and said again: "Really? I'm not Zhao Shun, so I don't like to be seen by the Queen Mother. I am the Queen Mother's grandson, and the Queen Mother will never... let Shall I pay for the life of a granddaughter of a foreign relative?"

"You! Let's wait and see!"

……

The news of Ouchi reached the capital, and Shen Qinglan also learned of His Majesty's decision.

Hearing that Wei Yuhang was beaten fifty times and lost half of his life, he felt much better, but he still couldn't feel happy.

"Miss, dinner is coming soon, where do you plan to have dinner?" Fu'er asked.

"It doesn't matter where you are, you call Tao Guan'er and Ji Fan, and just say I have something to say."
