Chapter 78
"Brother Chen, are you there?" In Yi's mansion, Yi Chen was reading in the study when suddenly a nice voice came from outside the door.

Hearing the voice clearly, knowing who was coming, Yi Chen put down the book and waited for her to come in.

Sure enough, as soon as he put down the book, a touch of pink came into his eyes, and it was Su Yuqing who came.

"Brother Chen." Su Yuqing cried and ran in, ran to Yi Chen's side and threw herself into his arms, crying.

Yi Chen patted her on the back and asked, "Yuqing, what's wrong?"

"Brother Chen, something happened to Daddy. I don't know what happened, but it seems serious. You must have a way to save him, right, right?" Su Yuqing asked crying.

Ever since she was a child, she would look for Yi Chen for anything. In her eyes, her elder brother Chen is omnipotent.

"Yuqing, brother Chen can't do anything about this matter. After all, the matter has reached this point, and your father's mistake is too great."

Yi Chen explained to Su Yuqing.

"But Brother Chen, I don't want to lose Daddy."

"My mother left early, and my father loved me the most since I was a child. Brother Chen, what should I do, what should I do." Su Yuqing cried even more sadly after hearing Yi Chen's words.

Yi Chen also stopped talking, just patted Su Yuqing in his arms.

Inside Peony Hall
"Miss, what do you do with the pastries brought by the second lady just now?" Chun'er asked Tan Yueying who was thinking in front of her.

But he found that his young lady was in a daze and didn't hear what he said at all, so he called out a few more times: "Miss? Miss? Miss?"

"Ah? What's the matter?" Tan Yueying finally heard Chun'er's call, and answered quickly.

"Miss, I'm asking you how to deal with the cakes sent by the second lady. What are you thinking?" Chun'er said again.

"Oh, the pastry was secretly lost. I was thinking about what Tan Jiamin said." Tan Yueying said.

"Does that lady have any opinion?" Chun'er asked.

"I think what Tan Jiamin said is very reasonable. Anyway, if you want to marry someone, why don't you marry someone you like?"

"Instead of waiting for daddy to look for it, it's better to take the initiative and let daddy do it." Tan Yueying said her thoughts, obviously moved by Tan Jiamin's words.

"Since this is the case, who is the wishful gentleman in Miss's heart?" Chun'er asked gossipingly.

"Second prince, the second prince is a dragon and a phoenix, and his power in the court has been gradually strengthening recently, and he is also deeply favored by the emperor."

"Especially he himself has outstanding talent." Tan Yueying looked yearning.

"But miss, isn't the second prince married to Miss Li of Li's mansion?"

"I'm afraid you will suffer if you marry this time, and you will be inferior to Miss Li in terms of status." Chun'er reminded her own lady.

Tan Yueying blushed when she thought of Qi Diao Jingzhan's teasing and flirting with her that day, if she didn't like it, why would she be like this?

And since she likes her, how can she let Li Yijun bully her.

Thinking of this, Tan Yueying felt a lot more comfortable.

"In order not to have a difference in status with Li Yijun, I'm afraid I have to communicate more with my father, and let my father ask the emperor for a marriage, so as to be equal to Li Yijun."

On the other side, Tan Yong was very dissatisfied after hearing Tan Yueying's words.

"No! If I say no, I just can't. Marriage is a big deal, how can it be trifling!"

"Instead of marrying the second prince and competing for favor with Li Yijun, it's better to marry the third prince as the main concubine. After all, it is more likely that this country is the third prince."

"Maybe you will be the mother of the country in the future, and you can be the mother of the world. How majestic that is."

Tan Yong said very dissatisfied after hearing Tan Yueying's words.

"However, His Majesty loves the second prince very much today, so this second prince may be the future king."

"Now that Duke Su Lei commits a crime, Concubine Su and the third prince will definitely be implicated, and the emperor's love for the second prince is obvious. The second prince must be the second prince, Daddy."

Tan Yueying analyzed what happened recently, and said angrily like Tan Yong.

Hearing Tan Yueying's analysis, Tan Yong's hands were shaking with excitement. He never thought that his daughter would grow so much after seeing her for a few days.

But he still opened his mouth and said: "Indeed, the current situation in the court seems to be that the second prince has a great advantage."

"But from another point of view, what Su Lei committed was the crime of deceiving the emperor. It is an unforgivable crime to deceive the superior and the inferior, but the emperor has not yet made any decision."

"It should be that Concubine Su made a move, and if Concubine Su can really end everything with Su Lei and not involve others, then it is a force that should not be underestimated."

Tan Yueying pondered for a while and then nodded: "In this way, the three princes are both intelligent and strategic, and they are very likely to become future princes."

"Then how about betrotting you to the third prince as a father?" Tan Yong said.

Tan Yueying thought of the conversation with Qi Diao Jingling during the empress's birthday banquet, and suddenly felt a kind of hostility in it.

Then he said with some confusion: "But, father, at the Queen's Empress's birthday banquet, the third prince and I,,,"

Before Tan Yueying finished speaking, she was interrupted by Tan Yong, "Ying'er, you are worrying too much. Let daddy handle this matter."

"Okay then, Daddy." Tan Yueying lowered her head, as if she was relying on her father to make the decision.

After all, if it is true what Tan Yong said, then the third prince will be the future emperor.

If she really wanted to marry the second prince, she might become a prisoner after a few days of glory.

No matter how stupid Tan Yueying was, she would never understand these things.

What's more, today's Tan Yueying has already changed. She is no longer the brainless girl who only pursues power, but a woman who can think and has a little city.

Inside the palace

"Declaration of my decree, Duke Su Lei privately confers an official position, deceives the superior and conceals it, causing turmoil in the government and the public."

"So he was accepted as an official, demoted to a commoner, exiled to the frontier, his family property was confiscated, and he was left alone in the house for his family to live in."

The emperor spoke righteously, and his majestic gesture could not be rejected.

However, after hearing his words, the civil and military officials under the court couldn't help whispering.

Most people said that this punishment was too light, not only did not implicate the nine clans, it even saved Su Lei's life.

But the emperor seemed to ignore the discussion in the court, and continued to speak.

"Li Bo and his father bought and sold official positions in private and disturbed the court. If the crime is unforgivable, they can be imprisoned in heaven and be executed after autumn!"

"Your Majesty, I feel that the punishment for Lord Su seems too light. This is a serious crime that affects the whole family. I dare you to think twice." An official said.

"Shut up, does Zhulian Jiuzu want to kill me too!" The emperor slapped the table and roared angrily.

"The emperor is angry." All the officials knelt down and shouted.

"My intention has been decided, and there is no need for the ministers to discuss further. Retire!"

The emperor shook his sleeves and said sharply, then walked out, ignoring everyone in the hall.

Queen Su's Palace

"Mother and concubine, the imperial father ordered uncle to be exiled, not implicated, nor killed." Qi Diao Jingling said excitedly like Concubine Su.

"Well, your royal father told me about this last night." Concubine Su said calmly.

"It's all thanks to the mother and concubine." Qi Diao Jingling said.

Suddenly he thought of something and said, "Mother and Concubine, how are you thinking about my marriage? Have you talked to Father?"
