Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 179

The emperor was about to reprimand the prince when he was interrupted by Xie Wanqing. Xie Wanqing smiled bitterly and said, cooperating with the tears that had accumulated in her eyes for a long time, said: "His Royal Highness is right, the minister will not die, so please The emperor and the prince held their hands high and let the courtier's daughter live. Maybe the wine glass didn't smash me to death yesterday, but there is no guarantee that I will not enter the cold firewood room in the future. The courtier's daughter is just a weak woman, and I really can't stand the prince's carelessness !"

"Wan'er..." Mrs. Cui cried out in distress.

Xie Wanqing shook her head and said: "Grandma, Wan'er is sorry for asking you to enter the palace to intercede for Wan'er at this age, Wan'er is not filial!"

Then he turned to the emperor, kowtowed three times, each time he kowtowed heavily, and then said: "Your Majesty, please forgive my daughter, and don't blame grandma, she also loves me, Your Majesty, my daughter is really immoral and incompetent , unable to please the Crown Prince, my daughter was ordered by my father to go to the East Palace to visit the Crown Prince yesterday, hoping to make friends with the Crown Prince, and also talk about my marriage with the Crown Prince, so as to quell the unfavorable rumors from the outside world for the Prince!"

"However, His Royal Highness did not allow the courtiers to open their mouths, so he became furious, and asked the courtiers to dance in front of all the concubines of the East Palace to entertain the crowd. In the case of being injured, people still ask the courtiers to be imprisoned in the firewood room and ignore it, the courtiers really don't know what makes the prince so disgusted!"

Hearing Xie Wanqing's tearful accusation, Xuanyuanming became even more annoyed, and said, "You mean it's my fault, that I deliberately wanted to beat you and imprison you? It's not you... you woman is a hypocrite. Don't pretend to be pitiful here!"

"Yes, my daughter is hypocritical and cannot be a crown princess, so please take back my order and allow my daughter and the prince to divorce!" Xie Wanqing said obediently.

The emperor scolded angrily: "Ming'er, don't go too far. Have you forgotten all the things you promised me just now?"

"My son just doesn't like Xie Wanqing. I don't know why my father insists that I marry her. My father, my son doesn't want to marry her. Please allow me to withdraw my marriage!" Xuanyuan Ming's stubborn temper also came up. He also begged the emperor to retire.

As soon as he saw Xie Wanqing, he remembered the time when he was threatened by her, which was a great shame to Xuanyuan Ming.

Xie Wanqing finally hooked the corners of her lips in satisfaction. What she said just now was not to sue the emperor, but to force Xuanyuan Ming to speak the truth.

Doesn't he hate himself? Seeing himself crying and accusing him, he should be very angry, very annoyed, so he will definitely be irritated, and then lose his mind. With his arrogant and domineering temperament, how could he endure it?
Sure enough, her understanding of Xuanyuan Ming was not wrong at all.

The emperor narrowed his eyes, his heart was so burned with anger that he almost lost his mind, he kicked Xuanyuanming viciously, kicked him to the ground, and cursed: "Nizi, what are you talking about? You know what you are doing Say something?"

"Father, don't force Erchen. She doesn't like Erchen, and Erchen even less likes her. Why do you force Erchen to marry such a woman!" Of course Xuanyuan Ming knew that the emperor forced him to marry Xie Wan. sunny reason.

It was nothing more than to appease the Cui family, but why sacrifice his marriage and let him marry such an annoying woman.

The emperor looked at Xuanyuanming angrily, he was so angry that he wanted to beat him up, this ignorant idiot, how could he not understand the meaning of this marriage to him?
Old Mrs. Cui spoke at the right time, and said: "Your Majesty, since the crown prince also intends to withdraw from the marriage, please let the Emperor make it happen!"

"You...you are good, you are pushing me one by one, and you don't understand my painstaking efforts!" The emperor's face turned pale with anger.

But the matter has come to this point, even the emperor can't force it, otherwise how can he stop the Cui family's mouth.

"If that's the case, it's according to your wishes. I will immediately issue a decree to announce to the world that we will divorce!" The emperor's hands trembled a little in anger.

Mrs. Cui, Xie Wanqing and Xie Zian kowtowed at the same time.

The emperor said: "Ling Shuang, are you satisfied now?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will remember Long En!" Mrs. Cui replied, although she was not satisfied, she had achieved her goal.

The emperor glared at the crown prince, and said: "You rebellious son, you made a big mistake, you didn't know it, and you didn't forget your sensuality while thinking about your mistakes behind closed doors. I really want to piss you off, and I will punish you not to leave the gate of the East Palace for half a year!"

"Father, son..." Xuanyuan Ming didn't understand why the emperor was so angry and punished him more.

Mrs. Cui also knew why the emperor was angry, but it had nothing to do with them, so she took the Xie brothers and sisters to leave.

After Mrs. Cui and the three of them left, the emperor finally broke out his anger and slapped Xuanyuanming hard.

"Idiot, you are so mad at me!"

"Father, son... son really doesn't want to marry her!" Xuanyuan Ming was also very wronged.

The emperor stared at him and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to marry her. It's nothing more than raising her in the East Palace. When the Cui family is no longer a threat in the future, she will be at your disposal. If you don't like her, she will be destroyed. Who can do anything to you?"

"But..." Xuanyuan Ming finally closed his mouth tactfully.

The emperor's eyes were red with anger, and he said: "You are so stupid that there is no cure. I will help you pave the way. You insist on destroying the Great Wall yourself. What about the position of the concubine? You are a prince, and you can include any woman you like. Donggong, in the future, the Sangong and Sixth Courtyards will be up to you to decide, why do you want to sing against me!"

"My son was also confused by Xie Wanqing's anger. She insisted on pretending to be pitiful in front of you. You don't know what a cunning woman she is in private!" Xuanyuan Ming said angrily.

The emperor sighed deeply and said: "So you are not even as good as a woman. She knows how to control her true temperament and achieve her goals through tricks, but you are so stubborn!"

"Retiring the engagement is nothing to Erchen, but it is different for her. She will no longer have the title of Crown Princess, and the Xie family will not be tolerant of her. People outside will embarrass her even more. What benefits will she get! "

The prince was unconvinced and honest, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that Xie Wanqing's marriage to him was a blessing she had cultivated for several lifetimes. If she wanted to retire, it was simply something wrong with her head, and he had no regrets at all.

The emperor shook his head, pointed at the prince, and said with trembling fingers, "You are so stupid. The old Cui family is no longer here, but the Cui family still firmly holds the military power in the southwest. Do you know why?"

"Isn't that because of your great kindness, Father, you didn't take back their military power!" Xuanyuan Ming said as a matter of course.

"Do you think I don't want to take it back, but the Cui family has made great contributions to my Xuanyuan family. Many sons of the Cui family died in battle. Back then, the old man Cui was shot by arrows in order to save me, so he told me that I was besieged by the enemy. rescued and even sacrificed the life of his eldest son, although this is what a courtier should do, but in the eyes of outsiders, they are loyal courtiers, how can I do something unrighteous?"

Only then did Xuanyuan Ming understand, but he asked again with doubts: "Then father, why did you want my son to marry Xie Wanqing?"

"Naturally, it's to show how much I value heroes, and...the Xie family is of great use to me!" The emperor suddenly showed an expression of inexplicable meaning.

Xuanyuan Ming pursed his lips, and said: "Father, my son doesn't know Father's intentions, please punish Father!"

"Punishment, I will be punished. Lan Jin must have found out that you ordered people to play tricks on Xie Wanqing. How do you ask me to explain to the Cui family and the Xie family?" The emperor shook his head and sighed bitterly.

Xuanyuan Ming said: "The thing about going to the Lin Banquet that day was clearly done by Xie Wanqing on purpose, and my son couldn't get angry for a while!"

"You, as a prince, still have no city mansion. I am really disappointed. If you have half the scheming and brains of King Jing, I don't have to worry about you!" The emperor shook his head in great disappointment. He wants to support the prince, but the prince is obviously a dou who cannot afford to support him.

Xuanyuan Ming was not reconciled. He always thought he was much better than Xuanyuan Jue, no matter in terms of background or intelligence, he was higher than Xuanyuan Jue. That guy just put on a cold face all day long. What's so great about it? .

"Don't be dissatisfied, Jue'er doesn't show his emotions and anger, sometimes even I can't understand what he is thinking, and you are far inferior to him in this regard!" the emperor said.

Xuanyuan Ming said: "Could it be that father also likes him to put on a cold face all day long, like everyone owes him money?"

"You, how do you want me to teach you to be transparent? Do you think he can gain a foothold in the court just by putting on a cold face all day long? He does much more things in private than you!" the emperor said helplessly. shook his head.

Xuanyuan Ming complained a bit: "It's not that the father dotes on him too much, he is too kind to him, even more than the doting on his sons!"

The emperor pursed his lips, and his eyes showed even more disappointment. This prince is really dull.

"That's all, you can go back to the East Palace, don't cause trouble for me these days, every time I have to worry about you, you should also be sympathetic to me!" The emperor frowned, showing his old age.

He is over half a hundred years old, how many days can he live?But Xuanyuan's world will continue, he must choose a qualified prince who can inherit his will.

But the crown prince is useless, King Jing... King Jing is not good!
The emperor was full of gloom, but the prince was just angry, feeling that his father was partial and was too harsh on him.

"Yes, my son is unfilial, my father calm down!" Xuanyuan Ming said so, but he didn't necessarily think so in his heart.

The emperor saw through his thoughts at a glance, but he didn't say any more, this child puts everything on his face and has no city. How can a king be easily seen through his thoughts?
You must know that those subordinates like to figure out the emperor's mind the most. Once the courtiers control the emperor's mind, wouldn't they become puppets for those with ulterior motives?
