Chapter 445 Pig brains can be smart sometimes
These words made Mrs. Cui laugh from ear to ear, "Okay, okay! Then I'll wait until you and Jinxiu come back!"
Mrs. Mingsan left immediately and went back to pack her things.
At the same time, Cheng Dongjiang also led people outside the palace gate.
The emperor happened to be dining with Princess Yongyang Xunuoshan in the Queen's Palace. After receiving the news, he didn't want to see her at all.
Princess Yongyang said coquettishly: "Father, just declare it! Cheng Dongjiang has always been cautious, and now there is such a big fight to see him. If you don't see him, how can he ask for the Xuanwu Cauldron from the Cheng family later?"
When it came to the Xuanwu Ding, the emperor's attitude changed as expected, "Then just listen to Yongyang, Xuan!"
Princess Yongyang winked at Xu Nuoyan proudly.
Xu Nuoshan laughed and shook his head at her lovingly, reminding her not to go too far.
The little actions of the two fell into the eyes of the queen. Although she had no unnecessary expression, she was happy in her heart. She was unhappy when she chose such a consort with an unknown family background for her daughter, but there was a reason for it. After weighing the pros and cons, she could only do it. She made a decisive choice. Fortunately, Xu Nuoshan was a good person, which made up for her regret.
Cheng Dongjiang bent over and lowered his head, trotted in the door, and knelt down with a plop, "I pay my respects to the emperor, long live the emperor!"
"Okay! Why do you want to see me?" The emperor's tone was indifferent and he was not angry.
Cheng Dongjiang's heart trembled, and he said bravely: "Your Majesty, Princess Wuya threw the consort into the pool early this morning and almost drowned, and then smashed the concubine's head with a wooden stool. The ministers have already carried them to the palace gate. Outside, please ask the emperor to make the decision!"
"What! Then Princess Wuya is so lawless?" The queen was shocked and looked at the emperor, "Your Majesty, do you want Princess Wuya to enter the palace?"
The emperor's face was very ugly, and he tried not to let himself get angry, and told Dekang: "Go and invite Princess Wuya into the palace, and then ask the imperial doctor to take a look at those two people."
Dekang went to the Cheng Mansion to look for someone, and then he realized that Princess Wuya had already run back to the inn to join Wuya's envoy. Come on, now Wuya's envoy followed her into the palace.
Under the treatment of the imperial doctor, Cui Yudie's injuries were under control, but she was dirty all over. The queen asked someone to take her down to change into clean clothes.
Cheng Dongjiang and Cheng Hong, who pretended to be sick and woke up, had been kneeling aside, not daring to take a breath.
The queen frowned, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Cheng is also Princess Wuya's mother-in-law. Qi State attaches great importance to filial piety. How could she be so harsh?"
It's not a life-or-death feud, it's still an elder. No matter what the reason is, it shouldn't be done.
The emperor closed his eyes tiredly, thinking about how to deal with it. After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes, his face was calm, and he already had an idea.
Lan Suiwendong brought Princess Wuya into the palace. As soon as he saw the emperor, he knelt down and admitted his mistake, "Emperor Qi, the princess has informed Wei Chen about the matter today. It is indeed the princess who did something wrong. Wei Chen has already told her, The princess also realized her mistake."
Princess Wuya spoke reluctantly, "Wuya admits my mistake."
The emperor suddenly felt that his breath was holding in his chest and he could not go up or down. He was so angry that he said, "Since the princess knows that she is wrong, have you thought about how to remedy it? I, the Qi State, govern the world with filial piety, and I am the one who treats the elders and relatives of the royal family. You should be treated with courtesy, and even visit you personally during the holidays. The princess is new here and I don’t understand the etiquette of Qi. But I can’t condone the fact that the princess broke her mother-in-law’s head on the first day of her marriage! If I spare you, none of the officials will spare me!"
Lan Suiwendong immediately begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, the princess is indeed ignorant of etiquette, but she also said what happened today. The fault is not hers alone, the main fault is Mrs. Cheng's fault."
The emperor had already investigated the matter clearly, and immediately ordered: "Go! Call the rest of the Cheng family over, and you can talk about anything in front of me! I want to see who is the most outrageous! Today, I will punish you severely. loan!"
The emperor clapped his hands, and everyone below was trembling with fear. Even Xu Nuo Shan couldn't sit still, but was pulled by Princess Yongyang to prevent him from getting up.
Cui Yudie was helped over by two palace maids. When she saw Princess Wuya, her eyes wanted to eat her.
Princess Wuya is no less generous.
Lan Suiwendong was very tired. He originally planned to take the princess to the palace to plead guilty and discuss the territory, but he was made a mess by Princess Wuya.
The emperor looked at Cui Yudie coldly and asked calmly: "Ms. Cui, Princess Wuya said that it was you who took action first before she took action today. Is this true?"
"Your Majesty, I was wronged!" Cui Yudie knelt there and pointed at Princess Wuya accusingly. "She was the one who threw the sleeping Hong'er into the pool indiscriminately with the intention of killing her husband! Fortunately, I went to their yard. Hearing noise on the road, he rescued Hong'er, but my son almost drowned. I just wanted to ask the princess for an explanation, but the princess didn't care about Hong'er's life and death, and just drank tea in the house. Dim Sum, is it wrong for me to discipline such a daughter-in-law as a mother-in-law? "
The emperor's face darkened, and he stared at Princess Wuya with squinted eyes, "What do you think of what Cui said?"
Princess Wu Ya said angrily: "Obviously Cheng Hong was so drunk that he couldn't wake up no matter how much he screamed. He was still smelly. I asked him to put him into the pool to sober up. The pool was not deep, so why did he do it? Can you drown people?"
"Princess also knew that Hong'er was drunk. You asked him to throw him in and then walked away. What if it wasn't murder of her husband?" Cui Yudie burst into tears.
This time the emperor stood up to Cui Yudie and said, "What Cui said is true. Princess Wuya is wrong!"
Lan Suiwendong's heart sank, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the servant who served the princess must have failed to do his best and ran away privately. The princess had no intention of killing her husband, and she would never dare to do so!"
The emperor snorted coldly and looked at the other party involved, Cheng Hong, "Cheng Hong, what do you say?"
Cheng Hong has been out of state since he left home in the morning. No one cares about him, but he has been given a long time to think.
When the emperor asked at this time, he immediately said without thinking, "Your Majesty, Princess Wuya must have a dirty secret, and she must have killed me to silence her because of this!"
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Princess Wuya was so angry that she clenched her fists tightly and wanted to glare at him.
Cheng Hong shrank in the direction of Cui Yudie in fear, and swallowed hard, "What I said is true! I have been feeling strange since yesterday. The princess married me unwillingly, so she could have asked The emperor refused to marry and returned to the outside world. You are a princess and can remarry when you return to the tribe. The reputation here will not affect the outside world.
But you are married, but you are looking for trouble everywhere. From yesterday when you opened the door to killing me and my mother this morning, you must have been planning to kill our whole family and live a prosperous life in the capital by yourself!
But I really can’t figure out why the princess would rather stay in the capital and be a widow than go back to the Wuya tribe. Until today, I finally guessed the reason after seeing her face under the veil! "
As soon as these words came out, everyone’s expressions changed.
