Chapter 313 Fanwai Deling: Abolishing the Princess

Yuan Jingyao sighed helplessly when he received the elder's letter.

The subordinates standing beside Yuan Jingyao looked at Yuan Jingyao's appearance, and then said aloud: "Master, the elders..."

"Contact the emperor and say that the head of the family is willing to donate food and grass!" Yuan Jingyao put the letter aside, and said to his subordinates in a faint voice.

When the subordinates in front of him heard Yuan Jingyao's words, they immediately knew that the elders had compromised with Yuan Jingyao, and immediately said: "Yes, the subordinates will do it immediately."

In the palace, after the emperor woke up, he looked at the personal eunuch beside him.

"Your Majesty, you are awake!" Eunuch Huang wept with joy.

The emperor nodded, and said in a faint voice: "What happened when I was unconscious?"

Hearing the emperor's question, Eunuch Huang immediately said: "When you were in a coma, the prince, all the princes, concubines De, and concubines Xian all came over. The prince learned what the princess did for Yuan Jingyao and beat the princess. A slap in the face, and put her under house arrest in the bedroom."

When the emperor heard Huang Gonggong's words, the expression on his face did not change, and he said in a faint voice: "The crown prince slapped her?"

"Yes..." Huang Gonggong looked at the expression on the face of the emperor in front of him without any change. He couldn't guess what the emperor was thinking in his heart, but he added: "The beating was very hard, and his face was swollen. .”

Hearing Eunuch Huang's words, the emperor closed his eyes, concealing the clarity of his eyes, and said to Eunuch Huang in front of him, "I see, go and call the prince over."

"Yes!" Eunuch Huang heard the emperor's words and immediately sent someone to invite the prince.

At this moment, the crown prince was in a very bad mood. He was now at war with Xiliao. Now that there was not enough food and grass, the sergeant was emotionally unstable. He was asking the household department to collect food and grass, but the matter was not over yet.

Now the emperor is so angry that De Ling and Yuan Jingyao are in a coma on the bed, and now Yuan Jingyao proposes that as long as De Ling marries him, he will donate food and grass. Isn't this taking advantage of the fire?Yuan Jingyao, that bastard!
The prince kept cursing Yuan Jingyao in his heart, but at this moment, the voice of the personal eunuch came from outside the house.

"Prince!"

"What's the matter?" the prince shouted impatiently towards the outside.

"Prince, it's Xiao Li from His Majesty's bedroom." The eunuch said to the prince respectfully.

When the prince heard the words of the personal eunuch, he immediately suppressed his anger, "Come in."

Little Lizi saluted the prince, and then said to the prince, "Prince, Your Majesty wants to see you!"

"Father is awake?" the prince said to Xiao Lizi in surprise.

"Yes, His Majesty woke up and said he wanted to see you!" Xiao Lizi replied.

The prince nodded when he heard Xiao Lizi's words, and then strode towards the emperor's bedroom.

The emperor looked at the prince in front of him, and said in a faint voice: "How is the border?"

"Received the battle report these days, and fought three local small battles with Xiliao, with a slight victory, but now the food and grass are insufficient. General Xu said that it can only last for half a month. If the food and grass are not delivered, I am afraid that the army will be dispirited. stable."

Hearing what the prince said, the emperor frowned tightly.

"And..." The crown prince showed anger on his face, "About Linger."

When the emperor heard the prince's words, a displeased expression flashed across his eyes, "I heard you slapped her?"

"Yes! Erchen slapped Ling'er. This girl is too headstrong. How could she do such a thing for a man, who is still the head of the Yuan Sect? It really makes people want to kill Yuan Jingyao!" Prince Edward cried angrily.

Hearing the prince's words, the emperor sighed softly, and said helplessly, "I shouldn't have taken her to Jiangnan back then."

The prince was startled when he heard the emperor's words, and said to the emperor in front of him, "Father, what do you mean, Ling'er met Yuan Jingyao when he went to the south of the Yangtze River with you?"

"Otherwise?" the emperor said in a faint voice.

Hearing the emperor's words, the prince showed annoyed expression on his face, and then said: "Father, my son drove Yuan Jingyao out of the palace!"

"I understand." The emperor said in a faint voice.

"However, this toad wants to eat swan meat. Knowing that we are short of food and grass, he even threatened that as long as Ling'er is married to him, he will donate food and grass!" The prince growled angrily.

The emperor sat up in shock when he heard the prince's words, "You say it's true?"

"Yes! He sent someone to spread the message, absolutely no falsehood!" The prince nodded and said.

Hearing the words of the prince, the emperor clenched his hands tightly into fists. To be honest, he invited Yuan Jingyao into the palace before. The purpose was to let Yuan Jingyao donate food and grass for emergency, but he didn't expect that things were a little different from what he thought. Changes, so he resorted to tricks, secretly arranged, let his daughter approach Yuan Jingyao, and tried to find a way to eliminate Yuan Jingyao in the future, but now Yuan Jingyao actually wanted to exchange food and grass for his daughter, which really made the emperor want to kill Yuan Jingyao !

The emperor suppressed his anger, looked at the prince with anger on his face, and said in a cold voice, "Prince, what do you think?"

"Father, my son doesn't want to do such a thing. You said, we are now taking Yuan Jingyao's violation of the princess, arresting Yuan Jingyao, threatening Yuanmen, and destroying Yuanmen?" The prince's scarlet eyes There is a strong murderous intent in it.

When the emperor heard the prince's words, a mocking smile appeared on his face, "Do you think Yuanmen is so easy to destroy? If it was easy, the previous emperor would not have suffered such a big loss. If Yuanmen were really destroyed It's urgent, when the time comes, they will start an uprising, and it will be a big disaster for us!"

Hearing the emperor's words, the prince frowned deeply, and then said aloud, "Could it be that Father, let Yuan Jingyao threaten us?"

"Prince, do you know that the biggest mistake you made was to release Yuan Jingyao from the palace, and now, let us be restrained!" The emperor looked at the son with sharp eyes, he never thought that the prince would be here During his coma, Yuan Jingyao was released from the palace.

Hearing the emperor's reprimand, the crown prince showed an embarrassing expression on his face, and then explained weakly: "Father, my son is not worried that he will kidnap Ling'er, so..."

"Okay, no need to explain!" The emperor interrupted the prince, closed his eyes, and thought for a while.

Now Yuan Jingyao intends to donate food and grass in exchange for his daughter, which shows that Yuan Jingyao still has a lot of affection for his daughter in his heart. I don’t know if De Ling will marry Yuan Jingyao in the future, can he catch this man’s heart .

The emperor thought of this, opened his eyes, and said to the prince in front of him, "Prince, what do you think?"

"Huh?" Hearing the emperor's words, the prince didn't understand.

"Food and grass!" The emperor looked at the prince's confused face, and then spit out two words.

Hearing the emperor's words, the prince pursed his mouth tightly, and then said to the emperor: "Father, my son really doesn't want to do something like exchanging the princess for food, it's just..."

"It's just that we can't wait at the border now!" The emperor said in a cold voice, seeing the prince hesitating.

When the prince heard the emperor's words, he bowed his head in shame.

The emperor gritted his teeth, and said to the prince in front of him with strong anger: "Prince, remember today's lesson! Yuan Jingyao dared to threaten us like this, didn't he rely on Yuanmen? Yuanmen is our confidant, even if It's because I'm gone, you must wipe out the Yuanmen!"

When the prince heard the emperor's words, he knelt on the ground, and said respectfully and seriously: "I obey the order!"

Hearing the crown prince's assurance, the emperor seemed to lose all his strength, sighed, and said, "Go and call Ling'er over!"

"Yes!" The prince clenched his hands tightly into fists.

De Ling was invited over. At this time, there were still traces of the prince's beating on her cheek the day before yesterday.

"Daughter sees father and brother..." Deling showed a weak expression on his face.

The emperor looked at his daughter kneeling in front of him coldly, and said, "Ling'er, do you know what Yuan Jingyao did for you?"

Although De Ling also got the information that Yuan Jingyao donated food and grass for her, she was in a complicated mood. When she heard the emperor's question, she pretended to be ignorant and said: "My daughter doesn't know."

"Hehe!" Hearing what De Ling said, the emperor sneered and said, "Yuan Jingyao donated food and grass for you, and the condition is that you marry him!"

De Ling's mouth opened wide when he heard the emperor's words.

"It seems! This man really loves you!" The emperor gritted his teeth fiercely.

De Ling heard the emperor's words, knelt on the ground, and said to the emperor in front of him: "Father, my daughter knows that I am not filial, but she really likes this man, and she can't bear it..."

"De Ling!" The prince standing on the side heard what De Ling said, and immediately yelled angrily, "It's a pity that my father and I have loved you so much since I was a child. No more identity!"

"Brother Huang, I don't want to, but..." De Ling looked at the prince weeping, trying to explain, but couldn't explain it clearly.

"Okay!" The emperor closed his eyes, looked at the daughter in front of him, and then said in a cold voice: "De Ling, I will ask you now, if you follow this man, you will not be my daughter, nor No matter the identity of the royal princess, are you still willing to follow him?"

When De Ling heard the emperor's words, she showed a struggling expression on her face. After a long time, she kowtowed to the emperor and said, "Father, please forgive my daughter's unfilial piety..."

"Okay, very good! Come here!" The emperor called out, only to see two eunuchs walking in.

"Send her to the ancestral temple and confess to the ancestors!" The emperor said in a cold voice.

The two overheard the emperor and immediately took Deling out.

"Father..." The prince looked at the emperor in front of him.

"Kneel her in the ancestral temple for one night, and send her out tomorrow morning. Except for the two maids and nurses who serve her personally, everyone who serves her will be killed!" the emperor said coldly to the prince in front of him.

When the prince heard the emperor's words, he immediately said "yes".

"Also, contact Yuan Jingyao and ask him to send the grain and grass to the border as quickly as possible!" The emperor closed his eyes, and he seemed to have aged a lot. He waved his hand to the prince and said, "Go down, I want to be alone and quiet."

"My son, leave!" Hearing the emperor's words, the prince withdrew.

The next day, the emperor issued a decree to abolish Princess De Ling and demote her to a commoner!

As soon as the emperor's decree was promulgated, the entire court was in an uproar, and then it was spread that Princess De Ling had taken a fancy to the head of the Yuanmen, and she did not hesitate to marry him as a commoner, which made many people respect and fear the Yuanmen. , Even if the emperor compromised, isn't this Yuanmen more powerful than the imperial court?

As a result, many officials went up to criticize Yuanmen for being too arrogant. At this time, De Ling was being helped by her two personal maids to leave the palace...
