Reborn Totalitarian Queen

Chapter 479 The Tragic Death of the Huainan Princess (1)
Princess Wenxin dressed up and entered the palace, and rushed to the emperor's imperial study with Jimo Xun.

In the second half of the night, the atmosphere in this deep palace was extremely cold and solemn, and only the brightly lit hall stood in front of you, which only made people feel eerie.

In the imperial study room, Yin Huai knelt there with a cold face and his back straight.

Sitting behind the case, the emperor also didn't say a word, his face sinking like water.

"Your Majesty, Prince Pengze, Princess Wenxin, and His Royal Highness Huai Wang have arrived." Gao Jinli received the report from his apprentice, walked over, and reminded him in a low voice.

Only then did the emperor's eyes move, he sat up a little and said, "Xuan."

"Yes!" Gao Jinli agreed, and quickly went out to pass a few people in. When they entered the door and saw Yin Huai kneeling there, they all knew exactly what was going on.

"I have seen His Majesty the Emperor/Father." The three of them bowed their knees and saluted.

The emperor didn't even cry out, his gaze wandered around a few people, but finally he fixed on Yin Liang and said: "It's so late at night, why did you come into the palace with me?"

"Father, I was invited by the Marquis to have a banquet with Prince Peng Ze and others. Later at night, something happened, and I was afraid that there would be troubles later, so I sent Peng Ze off. When the crown prince returned to the post house, it just so happened that the emperor delivered an edict, and the ministers followed him." Yin Liang said solemnly.

Even if he didn't say anything about these obvious things, the emperor would know about them.

As Yin Liang spoke, he glanced sideways at Yin Huai, and sighed, "What happened tonight was indeed a bit sudden. We and Peng Ze were both embarrassed when something like this happened, and the sixth child would rush to the palace to meet Holy, although he was a bit reckless, it is really helpless. Father, don't blame him. It's just that this matter concerns the reputation of Her Royal Highness Princess Wenxin. Although I know that someone is causing trouble, I can't leave it to Jingzhao Mansion to search for the culprit with great fanfare. , now I can only ask Father to make a decision."

When something like this happened at this juncture, Yin Shao's purpose was very clear——

It is to destroy the marriage between the two countries.

Yin Huai couldn't bear such humiliation, and he definitely wanted to regret the marriage, and at the same time, he also had to bear hatred for Jimo Xun and Wen Xin, and he, Yin Liang, was with Jim Moxun, so if he mishandled him a little bit, he would push Yin Huai to the Yin Shao went to the camp.

This matter was already figured out by Yin Liang at the time of the incident, because the death of Concubine Jin caused Yin Hua's defection, and Yin Shao lost a capable man who could do practical things for him. Now, once he can provoke If the relationship between Yin Huai and him is broken, then Yin Huai may replace Yin Hua's position and become Yin Shaoxin's arm.

This time, Yin Shao did really well.

Yin Liang's heart was burning with anger, but he couldn't do anything about it, so he could only try to keep his stance neutral.

"I heard that an assassin was caught, but he didn't confess?" the emperor asked.

If it is said that someone wants to destroy the marriage between the two countries, the emperor can only pay more attention to it.

"No!" Yin Liang shook his head regretfully, "Master Backlight captured an assassin, brought him back and tortured and interrogated him, but the man refused to confess to the mastermind behind the scenes, he is already dead."

"Where are the other clues?" The emperor's eyes couldn't help becoming more gloomy, Yin Liang shook his head helplessly, thought for a while, and said, "But father, although the war in Beichuan has been settled, those remnants have been stubbornly resisting. , refused to accept the imperial court’s surrender, and has been waiting for opportunities. Now that our court wants to form a good relationship with Beidi in Qin and Jin Dynasties, the national power will only be more stable in the future. If it is said that they are planning to make trouble, it is not impossible.”

The emperor would not have thought that there was a connection between him and Jimo Xun, and if the Beichuan people's conspiracy was involved, the emperor would only look at it from a purely political perspective.

The emperor pursed his lips and did not speak.

Jimo Xun cupped his hands and saluted again: "Your Majesty, this incident was indeed due to Xiao Wang's negligence. He was caught in the scheme of the villain by not noticing it for a while, and damaged the face of our two royal families. But please be sure, Your Majesty. Don't doubt my sincerity in wanting to marry your country forever. This marriage, since His Majesty has granted the marriage approval of the emperor, it is already counted. Xiao Wang is at fault, so I don't want to say anything more. Dare to ask Prince Jing What are your plans now, Your Highness?"

Yin Huai knelt down with a cold face, his eyes were only on the emperor from the beginning to the end, and when he heard this, he said coldly: "The two of you have such an accident within the boundary of Tianjing, and this king has to bear some responsibility , but since the matter has already happened, does His Highness the Crown Prince feel that it is necessary to continue this marriage? I mean, naturally, I want to implore the royal father to let him take back his life, I—”

After all, it was still difficult to calm down, Yin Huai took another deep breath before he was able to stabilize his emotions and said, "My marriage contract with Princess Wenxin is over."

Princess Wenxin kept her eyebrows lowered and said nothing.

Jimo Xun was not willing to let her go like this at first, he sneered in his heart, but with a little anger on his face, he looked at the emperor behind the case and said: "Your Majesty also means the same? Your majesty, your imperial decree to grant marriage has been issued Well, let’s say it now, it’s not just a sentence that can be explained clearly by saying ‘take it back to life’, but regret the marriage. Although we both know it well and won’t blame each other, what will the people of the world think?”

The emperor lowered his head and gently held the tea in the cup, without making a sound for a while.

Once a marriage is overthrown, it will indeed hurt the bones. If it was a few days ago, it is okay to say, but now that the imperial decree of marriage has been issued, if there is no reason to explain it, it is inevitable that everyone in the world will To discuss and speculate.

But now that something has happened, if Yin Huai is forced to marry Wenxin, there will be a rift between father and son.

The emperor didn't express his position for a while, but after a while, he said slowly: "So——what do you think should be done?"

"Xiao Wang said that this incident was caused by the negligence of my guards. Although it happened in Tianjing, Xiao Wang did not dare to shirk responsibility. In order not to affect the sincerity of our friendship, Xiao Wang will An urgent letter of resignation, to be delivered back to the court, please ask the father to re-designate the candidate for the marriage, and send a suitable age princess over, as for Wenxin—"

As he spoke, he paused for a moment, then turned to look at Princess Wenxin.

He still refuses to let her go?Want to take this opportunity to bring her back to Peng Ze again?
