Double-faced prince and concubine

The emperor's words made Zhong Lijing shut up obediently.

If it depends on him having any improper relationship with Princess Rui, then he will not be able to clean it up even if he jumps into the sea, the Second Emperor Brother will definitely not give him a good face.

capital offense?Xia Yue'er seemed stunned by the emperor's words, and stood there speechless for a while.

If she died, the emperor would have even more reason to let Ruixuan marry Qiao Yunshu. Wouldn't it be cheaper for Qiao Yunshu, that wicked woman!No, absolutely not!

What should we do?Xia Yueer's mind was spinning quickly, and then she pretended to be okay and laughed: "Your Majesty, did you hear me wrong? You are the sky and you are the earth, and your words are like a big thunderbolt. I am a weak woman, as timid as a mouse. Any loud noise would make my heart jump with fear. How dare I insult the emperor! Even if I had a hundred courage, I wouldn’t dare! Did I insult the emperor just now, no? Prince Jing, did you listen? to what?"

Xia Yue'er obviously wanted to deny it, and the question she asked made Zhongli Jing very embarrassed.If he wanted to truthfully say that Xia Yue'er did scold the emperor for being unkind just now, it was a death penalty for insulting the emperor, if he answered that he didn't hear it, then he would be talking nonsense, and the emperor would rely on him for having an unusual relationship with Princess Rui!

"Eunuch Gao, what did you hear?" Zhongli Jingyu didn't answer directly, but instead asked Gao Yuanqing.

Gao Yuanqing peeked at the emperor's expression from the corner of his eye.Thinking in her heart, even if Princess Rui insulted the emperor, as the emperor's younger brother and sister, she would not be sentenced to death, the emperor just said it smoothly and said the death penalty.

"The old servant is getting old and his ears are not very good, so he didn't hear what Princess Rui said just now." Gao Yuanqing replied.

"Your majesty, look, Prince Jing and Eunuch Gao didn't hear it, the emperor must be hallucinating. I have something very important to ask you, how dare you talk nonsense!" Xia Yueer said quickly.

The emperor looked at the innocent Xia Yueer, and found that this silly beggar was interesting.

If she was as timid as a mouse, there would be no bold woman in the world.It was obvious that he was too unkind to scold him just now, but in the blink of an eye, it was completely wiped out!

"Since everyone didn't hear it, then I must have heard it wrong. Princess Rui, what do you want from me?" The emperor spoke slowly, letting Xia Yueer deny it.

That's okay too? !Zhongli Jingyu secretly sweated.I'm afraid she will be the first one to play tricks in front of the emperor!

Gao Yuanqing secretly rejoiced that he got the right answer.

"Your Majesty, it is enough for my family Ruixuan to marry me as a concubine, and it would be unnecessary to marry him again! He really can't marry that Qiao Yunshu. I beg the emperor to take back the imperial decree!" Xia Yueer replied.

"The imperial decree has been issued, how can it be withdrawn immediately!" The emperor refused.Everything is negotiable, but this matter is not negotiable!

"Your Majesty, as far as your word is concerned, you can do it well and take back the imperial decree, just pretend it never happened! Xia Yueer will never forget your great kindness and compassion, and I am forever grateful on behalf of the people. You!" Xia Yueer said again.

"You are not joking, how can I go back on my word! If what I have said and the imperial decree I have made are not counted, what is my imperial power! In the future, there will be people who will follow suit like this, and will not take my will seriously. How can I govern the world! The matter of Prince Rui marrying Qiao Yunshu as his side concubine is settled just like that. Don’t come to beg me again. Go back and make preparations for King Rui. Let’s marry Qiao! Time limit, if Prince Rui is charged with resisting the decree, you will be just like him, unable to eat and walk around!" The emperor directly said nothing, leaving no room for intercession.
