King Yu’s head was covered with big drops of perspiration. These remarks were too vicious. The original movement of Liuli was already under their surveillance, and he was foolishly moving forward. It seemed that he really angered to be confused by the matter of Datong Hui and became eager for quick success and instant benefit. He was not such a person before. He was cautious and careful, planning step by step and working step by step. Years of hard work had come to naught in a short period of time, how could he not be annoyed and how could he not grieve.
He shouldn’t have said anything such as not seeing Liuli and blocked his retreat.
The emperor was very angry. He thought Jing’an Marquis meant Liuli, but he didn’t expect to involve King Yu.
Although King Yu’s recent performance disappointed him, the emperor still didn’t want to trouble this son and even tried his best to create opportunities for him, because once King Yu fell, the prince was the only one to show off. The fourth son was not able to do anything at all, the sixth son was still young and not strong enough to compete with the prince. And the emperor himself was still at his peak in his age, and he was uneasy about the fall of power. He could not suppress the prince by himself, but could take advantage of King Yu’s power.
But King Yu, a fool, was caught on a conversation. Could he pretend not to know? Could he not give Jing’an marquis house a replacement?
The prince hardly laughed. The little resentment he had before was now thrown beyond the highest heavens by the joke in front of him.
Third younger brother, Did you think Jing’an marquis house was easy to provoke? You shouldn’t have troubled Jing ‘an marquis house so soon, leading Jing ‘an marquis house, which had always remained neutral, to fall to my side. I really wanted to thank you very much, my dear third young brother.
” Bastard, Don’t you know Liuli is what kind of person? What are you messing around with about her?” The emperor thundered.
Xia Chunyu came to anger when he heard this. The emperor also defended King Yu, he did not say that King Yu was plotting evil, but blamed him for blending Liuli. The two were totally different meanings.
King Yu had felt that he was going to die. At the moment, he seemed to see a glimmer of light. He felt guilty and said, ” Father, please punish your son. It is my fault. The sister told me she was aggrieved in Jing’an marquis house. The queen mother was dead so that no one could protect her. I was too sorry for her to tell the right from wrong…Father, please punish me, I shouldn’t have listened to her.”
King Yu knelt down and bowed his head, ashamed of himself.
It was impossible not to admit his mistake. He could only be half-genuine and half-sham, putting the blame on Liuli. This fool deserved it.
The emperor looked straight at several censors with sharp eyes and threatened, ” Did King Yu command you to do this?”
The three censors shivered with fear, their legs softened, and knelt on ground.
” I listened to rumors, and launched an investigation. It was not instigated by anyone,” said Censor Shen with trepidation.
Even if he was stupid, he still understood the meaning of the emperor–he wanted to let King Yu go. If they foolishly said that they were instigated by King Yu, it would really be to a bad end. Didn’t admit it, it just would lead to lose an officer, which was better than lose life.
All three strongly denied it.
The emperor’s tummy was full of anger and he throw the anger at the three censors: ” You fatuous and incompetent people, taking the salary of the imperial court, are doing all sorts of things without finding out what is going on. You come to me to claim credit for it, so that I am almost hoodwinked by you and wrong the hero. What’s the use of you? Come on, take off their official hats and dismiss them for investigation.”
The three censors, sweating a lot, did not dare to breathe. They were allowed to take off their official hats and get out.
The emperor glared at King Yu again: ” you also committed an unforgivable sin. From today on, you will stay in your mansion to reflect on yourself.”
King Yu trembled and obeyed, and slipped away.
Prince sighed secretly, it seemed father still didn’t trust him! He had to keep third young brother to hamper him.
After handling the censors and King Yu, the emperor looked more cheerful and had a much calmer tone. He said to Xia Zhuofeng, ” Dear Xia has good intentions and endures the humiliation in order to save the royal face. Ah … I am ashamed of you.”
Xia Zhuofeng hastened to say, ” The emperor has really hurt me. I am loyal and willing to do anything for you. Why do you talk about injustice?”
The emperor nodded with great relief: ” I love your loyalty, and my heart is very released.”
As soon as his eyes turned, he saw Chunli and others kneeling on the ground. The emperor said, ” Chunli has served in the academician courtyard for many years, and I hear some good remarks about him. I think it is time for him to be promoted to a senior position in the academy. So, tomorrow I intend to promote you to a bachelor’s degree in lecturing in the academician courtyard.”
Chunli was pleasantly surprised. His bachelor’s degree was from five grades, and he immediately rose by two grades, every cloud has a silver lining.
” Thank my emperor.” Chunli hastened to kowtow to him.
Xia Zhuofeng’s corner of his eyes were twitched. This sweet jujube was not a good thing. Why the brat so happy?
” The emperor, frankly speaking, this matter is made by Liuli. Since she entered Jing’an marquis house, marquis house has not been peaceful in a few days. continue like this, I’m afraid my life will soon be over. Such a daughter-in-law, having no blessing, I can’t afford so! My emperor, please help me. ” Xia Zhuofeng took the opportunity to speak, sighing.
In the past, the queen mother did everything possible to maintain it. Now the queen mother was gone. If the emperor didn’t promise, he wouldn’t be able to leave today.
The emperor was silent for a long time, and knew well that it was not enough to appease Chunli by merely raising an official position. Liuli was too much for him to open his mouth to protect her.
The emperor asked: ” What does Chunfeng mean?”
Xiao Zhuofeng’s tears would fall out, sadly said: ” Chunfeng’s life is miserable.”
The emperor sighed for a long time. His wife and his family couldn’t stand each other, and Chunfeng was caught in the middle. The taste was definitely not good. Then the emperor said: ” In that case, I will make decision and let them divorce. Outside, you can say that Liuli is filial. Liuli is very sad because of the queen mother’s death and she is willing to study Buddhism for the queen mother for three years. So I let her go back to the palace.”
Xia Zhuofeng immediately bowed to his knees and bowed his head: ” Thank the emperor for your compassion. My family are all grateful to the emperor.”
The emperor’s look was so ugly because the princess was returned, and the others were so grateful. Maybe Zhao Liuli was the only one in the whole world. It was really ashamed.
A storm ended, although Xia Zhuofeng failed to take the chance to bring down King Yu, he finally won a holy life and sent Zhao Liuli out of his house.
Everyone felt that the depression in the chest for a long time was swept away, and even breathing became smooth.
After leaving Zichen palace, Chunyu explained a few words to the prince, who smiled and didn’t mind any more. everybody left and went home together.
Chunyu patted the first brother on the shoulder: ” First brother, I don’t lie to you, does this woman stay right?”
Chunli smiled wryly: ” The second younger brother and the second younger sister-in-law are foresight.”
A few days ago, he and Qiao were still wondering whether to leave Cuiyan. Now, it seemed that the decision of the second younger sister-in-law and the second younger brother were right. If he really killed Cuiyan, there was no doubt that they wouldn’t be able to pass today.
Everyone went home happily. After hearing the news, You immediately perked up and told the servants to pack up the third courtyard and welcome the third master back to the house.
Cuiyan was sent to the farmhouse outside and let her go after giving birth.
Xia Chunfeng also got the news from Dali Temple. He immediately felt light after being depressed for so long. Finally, he waited the day when the cloud dispersed and the moon was bright, so he immediately asked for leave to house and began to pack up his things.
The emperor’s imperial edict had not yet arrived at Seventh Lord’s mansion, so Liuli did not yet know. she was still waiting for the good news from King Yu. She heard that today the censors were going to impeach Jing’an Marquis and punished Chunli.
Her life was not easy, everybody else also didn’t expect to live in peace, she must make general turmoil.
” My princess, third master are back, packing up.” The maid came in nervously and reported.
Liuli was stunned, packing up? What did Chunfeng want to do? He wanted to leave this house? He wished!
Liuli immediately went to Chunfeng’s room.
She saw people coming and going out and carrying out boxes of books and clothes.
Liuli flew into a rage: ” stop it all! who allows you to move?”
The servants did not dare to move. Chunfeng came out of the house and waved hands to the servants to signal them to move on.
Liuli became angry and said angrily, ” Xia Chunfeng, what are you doing?”
Xia Chunfeng dismissed the question and said simply, ” What do you do? Don’t you see it?”
” What do you mean? Are you moving back to marquis house? Well, then we move in together. ” Zhao Liuli threatened and thought: You went back, I also went back, went back to continue to make trouble. Let me see what you would do.
Xia Chunfeng took out a sneer at the corners of his mouth: ” You move with me? Do you think you are still the daughter-in-law of Jing’an marquis house?”
Liuli also sneered: ” You and I are pointing to marriage by the queen mother and emperor personally . You are my husband, and a wife is her husband’s echo. Naturally, I will follow you.”
Xia Chunfeng really wanted to laugh. Up to now, she still posed as the third daughter-in-low of Jing’an marquis house. It was ridiculous that she still had the face to enter the gate of Jing’an marquis house after she had done such an evil thing.
Liuli saw that he couldn’t stop laughing, and became angry from embarrassment: ” What are you laughing at? Xia Chunfeng, I’ll tie you up in my life. You don’t want to be comfortable if I’m not happy. You and whole marquis house don’t want to live in peace. I see, and I am desperate too. Nobody expects to be better. ”
Xia Chunfeng had a hard time to stop laughing. He looked at the Liuli as if she were a joke. This woman he once loved deeply was now only extremely disgusted.
” Zhao Liuli, I have to thank you, thank you for doing this, otherwise, the emperor can’t promise me to divorce you. You don’t know yet, the emperor has already said that he will let you and me divorce and let you go back to the palace to keep filial piety for the queen mother. The queen mother loves you so much that you should also keep filial piety for the queen mother. Well … I think the imperial edict will arrive soon. ” Xia Chunfeng said slowly.
As if there was thunder exploding in the mind of Liuli. She looked at Xia Chunfeng unbelievably. The emperor ordered him to divorce? No, it was impossible…
