Prosperous advisors

Chapter 96 Disgusting "family affection" (5)
"I kowtow to my father." Murong Yu bowed respectfully.

Murong Yu was not the only one in the palace, there were also Zhu Bian, King of Pingnan County, and Princess Gong Zhu Mingyan, who had been summoned earlier.However, in just one day, the proud and graceful Zhu Mingyan who used to be glamorous and glamorous has become haggard and pale. She has replaced the elegant and luxurious princess dress in the past. She is only dressed in plain clothes, but she is a little more fragile. meaning.

But what scares Zhu Mingyan, from the moment she entered the Palace of Qinzheng, Huahuang only looked at her a few times.But these few glances made Zhu Mingyan feel that when Hua Huang looked at her, it was as if he was looking at something dirty and filthy.She wanted to shout out loudly that she did not do anything wrong to Murong Yu, she did not lose her morality, and those who kidnapped her did not do anything to her.But she didn't dare, and she also knew that Hua Huang would never believe it.

Emperor Hua glanced at him indifferently, and said in a deep voice: "Get up. How is King Ning?"

Murong Yu said in a respectful voice: "Report to my father, the seventh brother... the doctor said that if he doesn't wake up, he will only have a month to live." After all, it is his son, even if he is not the son who has high hopes, he is still There is some affection.Hua Huang was slightly moved, frowned and said: "Look for a few more imperial physicians from the imperial hospital. If there are any medicinal materials that need to be used, feel free to let them come into the palace to get them."

The emperor's father-son relationship is probably nothing more than that.After asking, Emperor Hua immediately put aside the question, looked at Prince Pingnan and Zhu Mingyan, frowned and said, "Prince Pingnan, how do you explain what happened yesterday?"

In this matter, Zhu Bian was very wronged.When his daughter disappeared suddenly, Zhu Bian had long remembered that he was like an ant on a hot pot.After finally getting it back, this kind of thing happened. The most terrible thing is that the emperor wants him to explain?What can he explain?Would he be so stupid as to let his daughter do something that would damage her boudoir's reputation?But the emperor asked him but he had to answer, so he could only bite the bullet and said: "The emperor has learned, my daughter has always been dignified and virtuous, this time...she was definitely framed."

Hua Huang snorted coldly, "Framed? Why don't others frame other concubines, but specifically frame your daughter?" In fact, Hua Huang didn't care whether Zhu Mingyan was framed or not.Even if she was framed, if something like this happened, this daughter-in-law would never want her again.The reason Huahuang asked this was because he wanted Zhu Bian to confess first.It's a pity that Zhu Bian, king of Pingnan County, is not as good as Huahuang imagined.

But it can't be blamed for Zhu Bian's incompetence. Zhu Bian has only one daughter under his knees, Zhu Mingyan, who was born to his favorite concubine.Although there are two sons, they are both born of unfavored concubines, and their qualifications are even more mediocre.As a result, Zhu Bian placed more hopes on Zhu Mingyan's daughter than on his two sons.Although the title of Pingnan County King can be regarded as the most honorable title other than the clan prince, the current Emperor Hua values ​​the Anxi County King who has a bad relationship with him.As for him, the king of Pingnan County, although he still has some military power, he is probably not as important as Mu Changming, the Marquis of Sucheng, in front of Emperor Hua.Therefore, Zhu Bian had to overwhelm Murong Yu with all his bargaining chips.If Zhu Mingyan wasn't Princess Gong, wouldn't all his investment be for nothing?
Being given a soft nail by Zhu Bian, Hua Huang was immediately displeased.He glanced at Zhu Mingyan unceremoniously, and said coldly: "I don't want to pay attention to these messy things. Mrs. Zhu's clothes were disheveled on the Dragon King's birthday that day, and she was thrown into the face of my royal family with her dissoluteness. Such a woman is absolutely unbearable. Daughter-in-law, Prince Gong, do you understand?"

Murong Yu raised his head and glanced at Zhu Mingyan, who was looking at him with a pleading face, lowered his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Father is so generous, and my son also thinks... this matter is not Mingyan's fault. As early as two days ago, Mingyan She was held hostage by bandits, and it was because of my incompetence that I failed to rescue her in time. But I can assure you that Mingyan did not shame the royal family."

Hearing Murong Yu's words, Zhu Mingyan was startled for a moment, with tears in her eyes.She didn't expect that Murong Yu would defy the emperor's order for her.After all, both she and Murong Yu knew that Murong Yu didn't love her.

Maybe... maybe he...

Zhu Mingyan was very moved, but Hua Huang was furious.As soon as he grabbed the paperweight on the imperial case, he threw it at Murong Yu.

"My lord!" Zhu Mingyan exclaimed, and rushed over to block Murong Yu on the spot. Although the distance was far away, Hua Huang was still a martial artist after all, and the paper weight fell on Zhu Mingyan's shoulder.Zhu Mingyan snorted and swallowed back the pained moan.Falling in Murong Yu's arms, cold sweat broke out on his painful face.

"Yan'er..." Zhu Bian was also taken aback, but because of Emperor Hua, he didn't dare to go up to visit immediately, so he had to kneel down, "Your Majesty, forgive me."

Hua Huang stared at Murong Yu coldly, and angrily said: "Didn't you shame the royal family? Your brain was eaten by a dog? Do you think something really happened to shame the royal family? Yesterday's scandal has already been spread all over the place." The entire capital city, even I heard the servants in the palace discussing secretly this morning, how dare you say that you have not shamed the royal family!"

Leaning helplessly in Murong Yu's arms, Zhu Mingyan's face was pale without even a trace of blood.

"Father, my son...my son believes in Mingyan." Murong Yu closed his eyes and gritted his teeth.

"I see that you are delusional!" Hua Huang said angrily.

"Your Majesty!" Zhu Bian gritted his teeth and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I am loyal to Your Majesty. I beg Your Majesty to forgive Yan'er for what happened to me. I only have Yan My daughter, I beg Your Majesty for your grace..."

Seeing the old man in tears, Zhu Mingyan couldn't help but burst into tears.Suppressing the pain in his shoulders, he sat up and knelt down beside Murong Yu, "Mingyan has shamed the royal family, so I beg the father to punish me. But the father, the daughter-in-law was really framed by someone, and the daughter-in-law has never done anything wrong to the prince." , and absolutely not ashamed of the royal family, I beg my father and emperor to learn from me."

Seeing the crying father and daughter in front of him, as well as the kneeling son with a calm face, Hua Huang only felt upset for a while.It's not that he doesn't understand why Murong Yu insists on keeping Zhu Mingyan.It's just that I don't want to pay attention to it, in Huahuang's view, no matter how powerful these sons are, they will never be able to get out of his palm.With a cold snort, he said: "Forget it, if you are willing to bear such a reputation, I will not stop you. But... Zhu Mingyan will be relegated to the side concubine from now on! She will never be promoted!"

Seeing what Murong Yu wanted to do, Hua Huang smiled coldly, and said, "If you are still not satisfied, then don't do this Prince Gong. No one cares whether your wife's reputation is ruined or not!" After the emperor finished speaking, he turned around and went back to the apse with a flick of his sleeves, completely ignoring how the three of His Highness would react.

"My lord..." Zhu Mingyan looked at Murong Yu with teary eyes, and threw herself into Murong Yu's arms with a low cry.Murong Yu looked indifferent, helped Zhu Mingyan to stand up, and said in a gentle voice: "Mingyan, you don't have to worry. You will always be Princess Gong's master."
