Chapter 478

Song Yixiao and Xia side consort only one side of the edge, this will be surprised that the other side will actually send people to ask, but the area of a servant, it is not worth her trouble, said a few polite words, thanked Xia side consort’s concern, but also dismissed.

However, Yuan Xuexie and the others had to be welcomed to the back hall and properly entertained.

“We just went to visit grandmother, just come back, in the end what is going on, I’m not sure!” Song Yi smile order people to all the tea, and on the melon and fruits to entertain of course at the moment no one has the heart to taste the refreshments, her words only fell, Xie Yiren frowned, “The palace has not formally said out, just … ”

Said glancing at Wei Yinlian, wanting to say something.

Wei Yinlian was calm, “Before I came here, I had already ordered someone to go to my mother’s family to ask, confirming that the Empress was about to start recuperating, and it was not known when she would be well. Moreover, when the newcomer enters the palace, she will choose her virtuous person to take the reigns of the palace!”

“The Empress is His Majesty’s married wife in the end.” Right now in the hall of people, are on the side of Song Yixiao, with Empress Wei even if not extraordinarily close, there is no enmity, heard that the Duanhua Emperor has for Cui Mirei to pursue the Empress and Song Yixiao, naturally feel disapproval, Pei Yourui said, “And Cui Mirei this person, I have heard of her character in the early years, it seems to be not too good.”

Xie Yiren worried, “But when Cui Miren was alive, at one point she favored the exclusive room.”

Who knows if Emperor Duanhua was so deeply in love with this cousin that he still can’t forget her?

“Jane Xiu Huang seems to have gone to the palace?” Yuan Xue calyx listening to the heart seven up and down, forced to smile, “He is his majesty’s first cousin, always deeply trusted and favored by his majesty … think will bring back good news!”

In fact, at this moment in the Xuanming Palace, Jian Xubai’s plea for mercy did not go well.

Because he had only entered the hall to salute, Emperor Duanhua threw down the evidence of Song Yixiao’s involvement in Cui Jianren’s death, “A Xu, do you have any explanation?!”

“I know the crime!” Seeing such a situation, Jian Xu Bai knew that it was not good to make good, so he kneeled down and confessed his sins.

“The Empress also has a part to play in this matter, I have decided to make the Empress recuperate in Weiyang Palace from now on, so don’t worry about anything in the future!” Emperor Duanhua looked at him coldly, “As for Lady Yan, what to do with her, you see to it!”

Jian Xubai heard a shock, and heard the Duan Hua Emperor continued, “Good thing that this hair wife of yours also gave birth to a girl, and in the future to renew the string into the door, but also do not have to worry about the original first son and the first son of the stepchildren to occur between the title of the fight!”

These words were clearly meant to kill Song YixiaoJian Xubai hurriedly said, “Your Majesty, my wife was persecuted by concubine Cui when she was young, and she was only twentyseven years old when she came out of the pavilion, so it is just called being young and ignorant! I beg Your Majesty’s favor!”

“Plotting against the Crown Prince’s side consort, especially when concubine Cui was still pregnant at the time, is it not something that can be uncovered by a sentence of ‘youthful ignorance’?!” Emperor Duanhua looked down at him from the Dan Edward, his gaze ghostly, “A Xu you have known the truth of this matter for a long time, yet you have never told me over the years! Do you know how disappointed I was when I realized this?!”

The Emperor spat out a breath, “It’s just that you are in the end the one I’ve watched grow up, and I really can’t bear to punish you for this matter however, you shouldn’t give too much of an inch!”

He didn’t want to see Jian Xubai pleading for mercy anymore and directly whisked his sleeve, “Stand down! I will give you three days to do what you want, I hope you won’t let me down again!”

The words “disappointed again” were deliberately emphasized by Emperor Duanhua, both as a reminder and even more so as a threat.

… Looking at Jian Xubai s pale face and retiring out, Zhu Qin clenched his teeth and still had the courage to open his mouth, “Your Majesty!”

“Shut up!” Emperor Duanhua propped one hand on his forehead and pressed one hand on the imperial case, a faint tiredness and depressed color appeared between his brows that were still full of anger just now, and his voice was somewhat raspy, “I know what you want to say! It’s just that I think the concubine Cui’s is already dead, there’s no need to force A Xu for this!”

“Your Majesty is wise!” Zhu Qin knew that Emperor Duanhua had been in a bad mood for the past two days, and that persuading him to let Song Yixiao go at this time would likely bring him chastisement and trouble, but he felt that he couldn’t pretend to be confused”Pouncing”, he knelt down with a sound, and said with a trembling voice, “Your Majesty has the world in mind and the sea in his heart. “Your Majesty has the whole world in mind and the air is swallowed by the sea, how can it be bound by the love of a child? Although the truth of the matter of concubine Cui’s is unexpected, however, His Majesty and Duke Yan have always been like brothers, and Duke Yan has always loved his wife, this matter is known to no one! If Your Majesty is willing to spare Mrs. Yan this time, how could Duke Yan not be so grateful to Your Majesty that he would offer up his life from now on to repay Your Majesty’s great kindness?”

The last time Duanhua Emperor said to Gu Shao “I trust only you”, the emperor himself only feel sigh, serving in the side of the Zhu Qin is a clear observer, on the spot out of a cold sweat!

Gu Shao was as powerful as he was, but he was older after all!

The Duanhua Emperor is still in his prime, the Emperor is now relying on Gu Shao, but he can’t possibly count on this old minister for the rest of his life, right?

Yuan Xue Pei, who has lost his legs and is not good enough to go out, not to mention the Lu family that was destroyed last year, the Liang King who was imprisoned this year, and the Jian Xu Bai who is being reprimanded at the moment, these people were all the mainstay of the Duanhua dynasty in the future!

Of course the Lu family and King Liang both have solid evidence, it’s only right to clean them up.

But Jian Xubai this matter, but is not what can not be conceded to the principle of the issue in the end it is just a side consort’s death!

What’s more, this side consort is not without responsibility herself?

In order to such an old thing, forcing Jian Xubai to kill his wife, Zhu Qin feels that it is simply … simply can be said that it is a faint move!

After all, Emperor Duanhua’s most trusted person, currently only Gu Shao is left, even if Zhu Qin is a chamberlain, since childhood, following Emperor Duanhua to listen to Emperor Xianjia’s teachings, but also know that, for the emperor, the way of the imperial court, the emphasis is on checks and balances!

A single family is the most taboo and arguably the most dangerous!

It was during the Xianjia Dynasty that Emperor Xianjia didn’t even give his subjects such an opportunity!

If Emperor Duanhua, who was inferior to Emperor Xianjia in terms of ability and means, relied entirely on Gu Shao, who knows what consequences would arise?

What’s more, behind Jian Xubai, there is the Empress Dowager, the Grand Princess of Jin, the two clan elders …

Given that the Duanhua Emperor is now very disgusted with the Empress Dowager, Zhu Qin did not dare to mention the Qingxi Palace, only carefully said, “Not to mention that His Highness the Grand Princess of Jin has not been very good these days, His Highness the Grand Princess, before, quite fond of the Lady of Yan ….”

“If it wasn’t for the help of the Imperial Aunt of Jin, then Song may not have been able to hide this from me when she did it earlier!” But Emperor Duanhua just smiled coldly at his words, “Of course Imperial Aunt Jin has helped me before, so I won’t make things difficult for Imperial Aunt! But since imperial aunt is spent, it’s better to recuperate properly, this kind of messy thing, don’t ask your elders to worry about it in the future!”

“But Your Majesty!” Zhu Qin urgently said, “The world knows that Duke Yan favors his wife, and has been married for several years now, with only one daughter at his knee, Lord Chaoping County, and yet he has never taken a concubine, which shows that the rumors are true! Now that His Majesty wants Duke Yan to kill his wife, even if Duke Yan finally complies, I’m afraid that there will be a gap between him and His Majesty from now on!”

“If Yan Guo Gong is not willing to kill his wife, this … this but what to do?!”

At that time, Emperor Duanhua couldn’t kill this cousin, could he?

If that happened, even if Gu Shao stepped in again, he probably wouldn’t be able to dissuade the furious Empress Dowager this old man would have to fight with Emperor Duanhua!

And if Jian Xu Bai, who openly resisted the decree, is not fairly punished, how can the prestige of Emperor Duanhua as an emperor not fall apart?

There is also a possibility that Zhu Qin did not dare to say: Jian Xubai’s “righteous sister” Nie Wu Cherry, is now the princess of the King of Su! In case he is forced to contact the King of Su privately …

“Do you think I really care about that Song’s death?” When Zhu Qin uttered these advices, he was already prepared to meet Emperor Duanhua’s violent anger, however, when Emperor Duanhua heard these words, after being silent for a while, he didn’t have a fit and only sighed, “I merely want to try out A Xu!”

Zhu Qin froze, “Your Majesty is saying?”

“Within three days, as long as A Xu comes and tells me that he’s willing to comply with the decree, I’ll spare Song!” Emperor Duanhua said coldly, “Think about when Song colluded with the Empress to lay hands on concubine Cui, it was only a few days before she married A Xu? A Xu went so far as to deceive me for her I am A Xu’s first cousin, even if he is now passed on to the third house of the Jian family, he is still my auntcousin! He entered the palace at the age of five, and is truly the one I watched grow up. Before he left for Wuhuan, I saw him more often than I saw the King of Liang!”

“As a result, he knew that his wife, who he had only just married, had murdered my concubine, but instead of reporting it to me, he privately helped his wife conceal it!”

“Zhu Qin, you say, on what grounds should I still extend grace to him now?!”

Emperor Duanhua laughed out coldly, ”Over the years, I have been taking him as a blood brother, by what right are the favors less than him? Have I given him less favors? I think that it is because I have been tolerant to him that I have indulged him so boldly!”

Counting down this cousin’s heartlessness, he inevitably thought of his own compatriot brother, “talentless and unethical such as the King of Liang, actually also up the ambition of usurping the throne, in the final analysis, is not because I am too much for him to spoil, so that he lost the fear of the heart of me?!”

The emperor spat out a breath, his eyes flashed with a cold luster, “I am not as talented as the first emperor, the means is not as good as the first emperor, so the first emperor to treat under the generous, the people underneath do not dare to make a fuss! When it comes to me, treating me generously will only make the people underneath feel that I am weak and can be deceived!”

He closed his eyes, quickly opened them again, and smiled to himself, “This truth, I did not realize until these two days good thing it’s not too late!”

“For those who are on top, it is only right to give both grace and mercy!”

“In the past, I have tended to be only gracious to those around me, but I have forgotten to deter them!”

“So since I ascended the throne, inside and outside the palace, the dynasty and the field, to me seemingly respectful, the bones of that slow perfunctory … really think I do not detect it?!”

Speaking here, Emperor Duanhua looked faintly at Zhu Qin, who was kneeling at his side, “You see, even you, a servant, actually dared to continue gushing after I explicitly said ‘shut up’! It is evident that I, truly, have spoiled you all!”

Zhu Qin’s entire body shook into a sieve chaff, he shivered, wanted to say something, but could not say, only desperately kowtowed, soon, the scarlet bottom of the gold woven brocade felt, more a cloud of dark purple color!

“Remembering that you have always been loyal, I will spare you this time, if there are any further offenses, I will pull out your tongue!” Duanhua Emperor picked up the tea bowl, blew on it, slowly sipped it, and watched with good grace, and after a long time, he felt that it was almost time, before he smiled and said, “Get up!”

Seeing Zhu Qin kowtowed a dozen more times before saying with a sobbing voice, “Slave servant thanks His Majesty for his great kindness!” Fang trembled as he tried to stand up.

Emperor Duanhua snorted a laugh, but there was no smile in his eyes, “You have served me for more than ten years before and after, and before, even when I was angry, you were never so terrified in front of me indeed, the world is not allowed to be pampered!”

“Bang!”

The emperor slammed the tea bowl heavily onto the imperial case, not bothering to look at Zhu Qin’s expression that he wanted to go limp again, “Still don’t hurry up to come up to research ink?!”
