Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 991 Turning around?

Concubine Wei's silence showed that she was helpless at this time.

Liu Yao didn't say a word, but he was still in shock.

Qin Fengye remained silent because his goal had been achieved.

In the silence, Emperor Yuan Zhen slowly spoke: "Xiaojiu, I am very touched by your heart."

"But I am the king of a country, the lord of Dongling, and all the people in the world are my subjects. I cannot ignore the people's will just because of you."

"You were really impulsive this time. Killing someone regardless of the consequences shows how reckless and immature you are."

"You have to know that hitting a son hurts the father's heart, and I feel uncomfortable punishing you, but I have to set an example."

"If you really regard me as your role model, you will definitely understand why I do this."

Having said this, Emperor Yuan Zhen waved.

He looked unbearable, like a good father who never scolded his son.

He said: "I will give you a hundred whippings and send you back to the Ninth Prince's Mansion. You are not allowed to go out without my order."

Concubine Wei looked miserable, but there was nothing she could do.

Because she knew very well the virtues of the person on the dragon throne.

She called out softly: "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Yuan Zhen looked away, as if he couldn't bear to look at her.

In fact, he just didn't want to see those eyes that could read his thoughts.

He said: "Don't worry, my beloved, I will give Xiaojiu the best medicinal materials to help Xiaojiu recover from his injuries. I will release him when the storm is over."

Qin Fengye sneered in his heart.

The executioner had already been bribed by him, and it was still unclear whether His Highness Ninth Prince could survive these one hundred lashes.

"Father!"

Liu Yao raised his head in disbelief.

Just as he was about to say something, Concubine Wei shouted sharply: "Yao'er, why don't you quickly admit your mistake to your father!"

Concubine Wei's voice was full of threats.

There was also a faint hint of panic.

She looked at Qin Fengye, and Falcon's eyes wanted to poke a hole in Qin Fengye!

But there was nothing she could do.

All I could do was look at the Jinwu Guards who were approaching with great desperation.

The only thing she could do was to remind her son, hoping that he would understand her hint.

If my son can react in time and obey His Majesty's words, His Majesty's reputation for being upright and upright will be ruined.

Then maybe we can ask His Majesty to be more generous and let Jin Wuwei be more gentle.

But Liu Yao never said a word from beginning to end.

This made Concubine Wei very anxious.

Before she could remind him again, Jin Wuwei had already dragged Liu Yao and was preparing to go to the execution.

Qin Fengye couldn't hide the smile on his face.

But the smile didn't last for a moment before it was interrupted by a voice.

"Your Majesty! Hold on!"

Concubine Wei was overjoyed—it was her father.

Emperor Yuan Zhen narrowed his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, Mr. Wei hurried to the hall.

He knelt on his knees and made a sincere plea: "Your Majesty! I want to sue Grand Master Qin for framing His Highness Ninth Prince!"

Qin Fengye trembled his beard and pointed at Lord Wei: "Old man! What nonsense are you talking about! How can you talk nonsense in front of His Majesty?!" Lord Wei ignored Qin Fengye and spoke again: "Your Majesty, I have evidence! Please, Your Majesty Give me a chance to present the evidence."

Concubine Wei immediately helped.

She looked at Qin Fengye in disbelief: "Master Qin, you are so cruel, you actually plotted against the prince, is it to clear the obstacles for His Highness?"

"No wonder you just now advocated severe punishment for Yao'er. It turns out that it's not as good as you say. It's for His Majesty and Dongling!"

"Now that the reserve position has been decided, His Majesty is in his prime, under His Majesty's rule, who dares to have such thoughts?"

"On the contrary, you judge a gentleman with a villain's heart. Yao'er just didn't want to disappoint his father. He was a little more active in his position as the censor of the city, but he actually made you wary and deliberately plotted to murder him!"

"Qin Fengye! Do you take His Majesty seriously? Have you ever trusted His Majesty? If you trust His Majesty to govern the government and the public with a clear conscience, why would you use such terrible means to consolidate the position of His Highness the Crown Prince!"

I have to say that Concubine Wei's reaction was really quick.

Qin Fengye was a civil servant, and he also had the ability to fight with Confucian scholars.

However, under the attack of Concubine Wei, he didn't even have a chance to speak.

Concubine Wei's words quickly made Emperor Yuan Zhen think deeply.

Thinking of what Qin Fengye had just said, he couldn't help but suspect that Qin Fengye was helping the prince to eliminate dissidents.

Qin Fengye is the person he trusts the most.

And he gave Qin Fengye everything.

He naturally felt that Qin Fengye should be on his side.

If Qin Fengye dared to attack his son for the sake of the prince, it would be a huge betrayal of him.

Thinking about this, he decided to give Mr. Wei a chance.

He also wanted to see what was going on.

So, he said: "Submit the evidence."

Qin Fengye was not surprised at all by Emperor Yuan Zhen's decision.

He has always been self-aware and does not think too highly of himself. He feels that he is irreplaceable in His Majesty's heart.

But at the same time, he was also curious about what the evidence was.

At this time, Master Wei presented a pamphlet.

Emperor Yuan Zhen took the pamphlet from the hand of his chamberlain and slowly opened it.

The ink on the booklet is still wet, so it can be seen that it was just written.

While Emperor Yuan Zhen was browsing the book, Lord Wei spoke: "Your Majesty, this is the confession of Huang Xuanru, Huang Xuanzhi's sister."

"She personally admitted that it was Qin Sangman of the Taishi Mansion who instigated her to instigate her concubine brother Huang Xuanzhi to attack the carriage of the Bai Mansion!"

"And when the White Mansion's carriage was attacked, His Highness the Ninth Prince was led to the carriage. The person who led the Ninth Prince to the scene was from the Qin Mansion!"

Speaking of this, Mr. Wei was filled with indignation:

"Wei Chen can be sure that all of this was done by Qin Fengye to help His Royal Highness eliminate dissidents!"

"He took advantage of the fact that his granddaughter and Nan'an Marquis Huang Xuanru were close friends to plan the whole thing!"

"And because His Highness Ninth Prince had an affair with the Sixth Girl of the Bai Mansion before, it is easy for people to think that His Highness Ninth Prince is lustful and stupid and does things regardless of the consequences!"

"But His Majesty the Ninth Prince is clearly fulfilling his duty as the censor of the city. If he sees someone committing murder and remains unmoved, wouldn't it be a failure of His Majesty's expectations? Is it contrary to the kindness His Majesty has always promoted?"

Concubine Wei continued to help:
"Your Majesty, Qin Fengye has ulterior motives! His heart is vicious! He didn't say he planned this incident, but he also prepared so many high-sounding reasons to encourage your Majesty to deal with Yao'er!"

"His heart is so cruel! Not to mention that Guo Zuo is not a minister who can intervene in the matter of Guo Zuo. His Majesty is still so young. Does he want to promote the prince to the throne as soon as possible by helping the prince to eliminate dissidents?!"

Concubine Wei's words were like a poisonous thorn, piercing into Emperor Yuan Zhen's heart.

What Emperor Yuan Zhen cares about is never right or wrong, but his vital interests.

Now he thought about it, if Qin Fengye helps the prince deal with other princes now, will he point the finger at him in the future to help the prince ascend the throne as soon as possible?

Thinking of this, Emperor Yuan Zhen's eyes immediately turned to Qin Fengye!
