famous eldest daughter

Chapter 157 Explained
The emperor looked coldly at the minister he had trusted and entrusted with important responsibilities for many years. The more favor and favor he received in the past, the more angry he felt in his heart.

People are not afraid of betrayal, but they are most afraid of being betrayed by the person they trust most.

The feeling was like being trapped on a bottomless cliff.

The emperor frowned and gritted his teeth and said, "Do you have any objection?"

The Duke of Zhen Guo shivered and pinched the rice paper in his hand. The pages touched each other and made a shuddering sound. He was as speechless as a cicada.

He couldn't argue with every word on the paper, but if he wanted to admit the crime, he was really unwilling to admit it. "I have been wronged. There must be a traitor who wants to harm me and fabricated it randomly." The voice was sad and sad, as if It seemed like he had really been wronged a lot.

Xiao Yi sneered, looked at Duke Zhen, and said quietly: "Does Duke Zhen want to say that I am a traitor?"

The Duke of Zhen was suddenly stunned and looked at Xiao Yi in disbelief.

When he was in Huzhou, Xiao Yi sent his confidants to Huzhou to have secret talks with him many times, hoping to get his help. After rejecting countless times, he was finally moved by Xiao Yi's sincerity, and sent a personal letter to The capital is willing to fight side by side with Xiao Yi.

Why was it that only seven or eight days after this letter was sent out, Xiao Yi collected his charges and handed them to the emperor. What did he mean?
The Duke of Zhen Guo was puzzled.

However, this is obviously not the time to think about this. "Does His Highness the Third Prince have any misunderstandings about this veteran? The veteran is loyal to the court and works hard every day..."

Duke Zhen Guo wanted to think of ways to remind Xiao Yi that he had agreed to form a party with him and they were already allies, but Xiao Yi interrupted him before he could finish his words and said: "Gong Zhen Guo is thinking very hard about how to make money by expropriation. Bully the Yongninghou Mansion." Bringing the topic to the Yongninghou Mansion again.

Compared to the heinous accusations he handed over, it seemed that the emperor was more concerned about the Yongning Hou Mansion. After all, this matter more or less involved the royal face, and it was easy for the emperor to feel that the Zhenguo Mansion ignored the emperor's authority.

Once such suspicion exists in the mind, it is difficult to eradicate it.

As soon as Xiao Yi finished speaking, the emperor snorted and asked: "Your son wants the third lady of the Dong family to be his equal wife. Have you ever thought that the Dong family is not willing to do it? Aren't you afraid that Concubine Hui will sue you in front of me?" The emperor's eyes were filled with cold light. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the Duke of Zhen.

Duke Zhenguo said hurriedly: "The Dong family is willing. It is the condition proposed by the Dong family that Miss Xueruo enter the house and become an equal wife!"

The emperor was immediately furious and felt the blood all over his body was boiling and flowing backwards. He slapped the table and said, "How outrageous!"

At this time, the emperor still didn't know what Song Zhe had done to Dong Xueruo. He just thought that Song Zhe forced Dong Xueruo to enter the palace as a concubine. And the Duke of Zhen said this, he was clearly teasing him. How could he not be angry and immediately save everything? After interrogation, he directly ordered the Duke of Zhen to be immediately imprisoned in the sky prison and await his fate.

The famous Duke of Zhen Guo was imprisoned just like this, his actions were so fast that people couldn't help but sigh.

After leaving the imperial study room, the emperor was so depressed that he walked to Concubine Hui's palace, took her hand and walked to the inner room, looked at her still red and swollen eyes, and asked softly: "Why didn't you tell me?" ?”

Concubine Hui suddenly shook her body and bounced away from the emperor's side like an electric shock. She moved back and looked at the emperor blankly, "I don't understand what your majesty said."

The more she acted like this, the more the emperor's heart ached unbearably, "I already know about Xueruo."

As soon as these words came out, Concubine Hui was stunned for a moment, and her tears fell straight down. She covered her face with a handkerchief and threw herself into the emperor's arms. "Your Majesty, I am a useless concubine. I let my niece in the family be humiliated like that."

"Why don't you tell me now what's going on?" The emperor held her face, looked at each other tenderly, and wiped away the tears that she couldn't wipe away.

Concubine Hui choked with sobs and said, "It happened on the day of my concubine's birthday. Before the emperor came, the old lady of Zhen Guogong's mansion told my concubine that Song Zhe fell in love with a maid in front of my concubine. I asked you to be a concubine, but I naturally refused."

"There is no woman in the palace who is not the emperor's woman. Unless she is released to the public, let alone the maid in front of the concubine. Even if she is the rough servant of the Huanyi Bureau, he cannot covet it. At that time, the concubine I don’t have a good face.”

"I never expected that because of this incident, I severely offended the Duke of Zhenguo. The banquet was dismissed that day, and the emperor stayed with my natal family for dinner. Xueruo felt uncomfortable and left first. Song Zhe He actually hid in her carriage and burned aphrodisiac incense in the carriage."

Speaking of this, Concubine Hui's voice suddenly paused, and she lifted her handkerchief to wipe away her tears and glanced at the emperor from the corner of her eyes, only to see the emperor's face was dark, his eyes were angry, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes trembled with his anger, and the temples It was jumping even more.

What is the use of aphrodisiac acacia incense? Without further description by Concubine Hui, the emperor can think clearly about the situation at that time.

"That beast!" The emperor gritted his teeth and swore angrily. He thought of the sophistry that Duke Zhen had just made in the royal study. He felt that Duke Zhen had been deceiving him from beginning to end, and he became even more furious.

Concubine Hui appropriately poured some oil on the emperor's anger.

Wiping away her tears, Concubine Hui said again: "Your majesty thinks that Song Zhe was messing with Xue Ruo in the carriage, right?" As she spoke, Concubine Hui showed a great grief, she wryly smiled, shook her head with tears in her eyes, and said : "No, he forced Xueruo to order the coachman to drive the carriage back to the Zhenguo Palace. He hugged Xueruo and got out of the car, and carried her directly into Xueyi's bedroom."

When the emperor listened, he felt that his limbs were all broken, as if there were bloodthirsty insects gnawing in his veins.

"After the incident, because it was inconvenient to enter the palace, Xue Yi asked Yu'er to inform the concubine of the matter and ask me to make the decision, but..." Concubine Hui wiped her tears again and choked up: "The Duke of Zhen Guo is an important minister in the court. , how can I let the emperor punish me because of my mother's family affairs? Doesn't this chill the hearts of the courtiers? I will never do such a thing that is detrimental to the emperor's kindness."

"Yu'er couldn't bear this tone, so he had Song Zhe beaten up as soon as he left the palace."

When the emperor heard this, he took a deep breath and said bitterly: "It was because Yu'er was kind-hearted that he didn't beat that beast to death!"

The emperor claimed that he knew what kind of temper Xiao Yu had. Even if he beat Song Zhe to death, the emperor would not think it was too much.

After the words fell, the room was extremely quiet except for Concubine Hui's sobs. After a long pause, the emperor said again: "If this is the case, why does Xueruo want to come to his house to be a common wife?"

When Concubine Hui heard this, her long and curled eyelashes trembled, and she bit her lip and said, "Xueruo was discussing the marriage with Princess Duan's natal nephew at that time. If something like this happened, how could we continue to discuss the marriage? But if we don't discuss it, , how to explain to Princess Duan. In addition, the Duke of Zhenguo came and threatened, saying that if Xueruo is not sent over, they will let everyone in the world know that Xueruo is no longer perfect. "
