Chapter 156
Is this a rhythm that comes and goes?
The corner of the emperor's pale mouth twitched, and he almost snorted through his nose: "Say!" The voice was so cold that it could freeze someone to death.

The Minister of Rites seemed not to feel the thrilling chill, and immediately reported: "As far as I know, Duke Zhen Guo returned to Beijing for a wedding. I didn't report it before, because I thought he had won your Majesty's favor. I just came back as promised, but I really didn’t know that Your Majesty didn’t know about it.”

His words were undoubtedly a bomb, and with a bang, it exploded in the imperial study room, shaking everyone in the room to death.

The first wives of the two male protagonists of the Zhenguo Duke's mansion, the old and the young, are still alive. What kind of marriage is it that can make the Zhenguo Duke come to Beijing without being summoned?
The two ministers of the Ministry of War and Household Affairs behind him couldn't help but look at each other, but saw nothing but shock in each other's eyes.

They had never heard of such an appalling thing.

"Keep talking!" The emperor stared at the Minister of Rites with his sinister eyes like an eagle, and his whole body exuded a strong evil aura.

"A few days ago, I was having a drink with Mr. Dong Hou from Yongning Hou Mansion. I heard him talk about it. It seems that Song Zhe, the eldest son of the Duke of Zhen, has taken a liking to his third daughter and wants to take her as a concubine."

Another thunder exploded.

However, this time others were shocked by the bombing, but Xiao Yi felt happy in his heart. After enduring the emotions in his heart, Xiao Yi put on a look of disbelief and said in shock: "Did you hear that right? Song Zhe wants to ask the third lady of the Dong family to be his wife." Concubine? The third daughter of the Dong family?"

The Minister of Rites turned to Xiao Yi and replied: "It's absolutely true. I still remember how distressed Dong Hou was because of this incident. They say that men don't shed tears easily. But when Dong Hou mentioned this matter, But I got choked up and almost cried several times, how could I mishear and remember something wrong?"

Xiao Yi immediately looked angry, "Song Zhe's first wife is the eldest lady of Yongninghoufu, and now he is forcing Yongninghoufu to send his third daughter to the Zhenguo Duke's Palace as a concubine. What is he trying to do! Too many people!"

As he spoke, he clenched his fists, not hiding the anger on his face. This anger even grew stronger under the circumstances that he did it intentionally.

As he said that, he glanced at the emperor's green and trembling face, and Xiao Yi added, "Isn't this a slap in the face of the Yongning Marquis Mansion, asking Concubine Hui to conduct herself in the palace?"

To slap Yongning Houfu in the face is to slap Concubine Hui in the face. Everyone knows that Concubine Hui is deeply loved by the emperor, so to slap Concubine Hui in the face is to deny the emperor's favor.

Xiao Yi sneered in his heart. This news from the Minister of Rites came at a perfect time for him.

Sure enough, the words "Hui Guifei" fell into the emperor's ears. The emperor's sinister eyes narrowed, and he suddenly remembered the grief-stricken look of Concubine Hui on his chest that day. It suddenly dawned on him that it turned out that Concubine Hui was there for him. This cry.

Her mother's family was bullied to such an extent, no wonder she cried so sadly.

Although the Yongning Marquis Mansion has been unable to be reused in recent years, it is still a Marquis Mansion granted by the late emperor. The Zhenguo Duke Mansion actually forced the family's two legitimate daughters, one wife and one concubine to enter his house!
His heart is really hateful!

Since he despises Yongning Houfu so much, isn't he afraid that Concubine Hui will sue him in front of him?Or...even though he knew that Concubine Hui was going to complain, he was not afraid at all?
As he thought about this, the anger in the emperor's heart grew stronger.

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites glanced at the emperor's trembling cheeks, followed Xiao Yi's words and continued: "Perhaps the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, because of Concubine Hui's face, promised the Marquis of Yongning to let the third lady of the Dong family enter the mansion as an ordinary wife. " He paused for a moment, but shook his head again, as if talking to himself: "Ping wife, with the word "wife", sounds nice, but she is still a concubine after all, not to mention, if she enters the mansion, let Dong How does the eldest lady of the family treat herself?"

Xiao Yi clenched his fists and said with gritted teeth: "The Duke of Zhenguo, this is clearly contempt for the monarch. Who doesn't know the favor that the father has for Concubine Hui? Not to mention other things, just for Concubine Hui's face, he shouldn't do it." It’s really abominable to do such a crazy thing!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the chamberlain led the Duke of Zhen in.

The finest ambergris was burning in the imperial study room, and the smoke curled up from the incense burner. The scent filled the air that was cold to freezing point in the room, adding a chilling sense of oppression to the solemnity.

As soon as Duke Zhen Guo entered the door, he couldn't help but tremble. He was wondering, why is there ice in the imperial study before it's the dog days of summer?
Along the way, he bowed his head and passed two ministers of the Ministry of Household and the Ministry of War. The Duke of Zhen Guo and the Minister of Rites knelt side by side, kowtow to say hello, and wondered in his heart what the emperor's intention was in calling him here.

If it was because of the fact that he was not summoned to the capital, why were His Royal Highness the Third Prince and the three ministers of the Ministry of War, Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Rites also present, and moreover, the Minister of Rites was still kneeling here.

Did the Minister of Rites commit any crime? Does the emperor need to know the situation from himself?
Or something else!
For a moment, Duke Zhenguo had a lot of thoughts in his mind and couldn't figure out what was going on. However, the emperor didn't give him much time to think about it. His words barely lasted less than half a cup of tea. The emperor was furious. Then he picked up an inkstone at hand and threw it straight at him.

The incident happened suddenly, and the Duke of Zhen was stunned. He was so shocked that he couldn't move. It wasn't until the inkstone hit his forehead with a "bang" and then hit the ground hard with a huge sound that he felt the pain on his forehead. There was warm liquid left behind, along with a strong smell of blood and a burning pain like tearing.

Not daring to reach out to touch his head, the Duke of Zhenguo kowtowed hurriedly, "I am guilty, and I deserve to die for my crime. Your Majesty, please calm down."

Only then was he truly sure that the emperor's anger was directed at him, but he couldn't help but think in his heart that the emperor had always favored the Duke of Zhenguo. Even if he wanted to punish him for not being summoned to the capital, he wouldn't have to do so in front of the third prince and his wife. In front of the three ministers, it was shameful for him to do this.

Whoa, Lord Zhen thought of what Song Zhe had done to Dong Xueruo, his heart trembled, and he recalled it.

Concubine Hui was Dong Xueru's direct aunt. It seemed that Concubine Hui cried something in front of the emperor, which made the emperor so angry.

Thinking of this, the tense nerves in Duke Zhen's heart relaxed slightly, but after all, his son was his own, so how could he tell the public about his defilement of Dong Xueruo.

He kowtowed and said, "I failed to teach my son well, and I am guilty, but Quanzi really loves the third lady of the Dong family..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt something hit him on the forehead again. His heart shrank and he broke into a cold sweat. When his limbs were covered with bones, he looked up and saw the emperor's bloodthirsty eagle eyes glaring at him. His eyes seemed to be threatening to kill him. It was like eating him alive.

But the thing that hit his forehead was a stack of rice paper. The paper was covered with calligraphy in small regular script. Regardless of the pain in his head, Zhen Guogong hurriedly bent down to pick up the rice paper scattered on the ground. When he saw the handwriting, he was immediately horrified. , looking ashen, slumped on the ground.
