The Evil Emperor Pursues His Wife: Sheng Chong Shifei

Chapter 58
"Impossible? Why is it a face saint, not an arrest?" Shangguan Xiao shouted hysterically.She couldn't understand at all why Shangguan Qing was not punished when such a big incident happened. Everyone said that the Son of Heaven was benevolent, and Shangguan Qing was summoned into the palace for questioning.

"Send her out." Shangguan Qing listened impatiently to this, she didn't think the emperor was a benevolent monarch, as long as he was in high position, no one would be merciful.

"Let go of me, I also want to enter the palace to face the saint, I want to expose your vicious mouth..."

Shangguan Xiao was still yelling hysterically, even the maids around Shangguan Qing couldn't stand it any longer, Zhu Qing walked over and knocked Shangguan Xiao unconscious with a knife in his hand, and was dragged back to Mrs Shangguan's garden with a wave of his hand.

Zhuqing came back and said angrily: "Young lady is too indulgent to them, if you are young masters in the palace, there will be room for such noise."

Shangguan Qing said softly: "We must estimate father's feelings, let's go."

From Shangguan's house to the palace, Shangguan Qing felt uneasy along the way, her mind was full of guesses about Chu Qianshui's punishment, her heart flustered for no reason, thinking of last night's dream, the insurance company did not pay the claim.

"Bah! I hate this the most."

Shangguan Qing's mind was full of chaos, and when they reached the gate of the palace, Zhu Qing, who was leading the way outside, yelled three times before Shangguan Qing realized it.

Shangguan Qing also guessed that they would have to go a long way, and the guards led them along the palace wall for a short distance before entering the courtyard of a small hall. It was only later that Shangguan Qing found out that this was the small hall of the inner east gate where the emperor usually handles government affairs.On the contrary, the emperor does not often visit the palace where the court meeting is held once a month.

Entering the courtyard, Shangguan Qing saw the crown prince Chu Qianyu, the second prince Chu Qianshui, the third prince Chu Qianhan, the sixth prince Chu Qianyun, the eighth prince Chu Qiansi, the tenth prince Chu Qianren, and two other princes dressed in The boys in costumes lined up and knelt in the yard, each with their heads down, looking very honest.

Shangguan Qingchao was puzzled, it was Chu Qianshui who came to plead guilty, why so many princes knelt with him.

Seeing Shangguan Qing walk in, Chu Qianyu showed a very gentle smile, acting like a caring big brother. Shangguan Qing saluted the prince, but looked at Chu Qianshui. Chu Qianshui gestured to indicate that it was okay. Chu Qianhan nodded imperceptibly, the rest of the princes looked at him indifferently and continued to pretend to be obedient children, but Chu Qiansi complained: "Shangguan Qing, come here and kneel with my brothers, I can't take advantage of you."

Shangguan Qing hurriedly bowed to beg for forgiveness: "Your Highness, please keep your voice down, I am timid."

"Hey, you're timid now, third brother, look at how fake she is, I know it, she takes your reed knife and chops at anyone who doesn't like it."

"Eighth brother, stop making trouble and let the emperor hear." Chu Qianshui defended Shangguan Qing.

Shangguan Qing bowed again to thank, and then followed the guards who led the way to the front of the hall. When the guards reported, they secretly took a look at Shangguan Qing. They didn't understand how such an ordinary woman could have anything to do with so many princes.

Chu Qiansi moved over there, pulled Chu Qianshui's lapel and asked, "Second brother, why did she draw such a ghostly look, dressed like my nanny, and came out to scare ghosts."

"Say a few words less, don't let the emperor hear."

"Did I said wrong thing?"

"Stop talking, I'll buy you a drink when I go back."

"That's about the same." After blackmailing him for a drink, Chu Qiansi calmed down.

The rest of the princes listened with pricked ears, and they all became a little interested in Shangguan Qing.

While Shangguan Qing was waiting for a cup of tea outside the hall, a servant came out to announce that Shangguan Qing had an audience. Shangguan Qing had all the etiquette learned by the original master in his mind, and walked into the hall carefully for fear of taking a wrong step.

The small hall of the inner east gate was small, and Shangguan Qing originally thought that the emperor would be seated, and the ministers would stand with their heads bowed below. Only when they came in did they realize that ministers would have seats when they came to report on their work.At this time, the emperor Chu Huaitian was sitting behind the book table, a kind-looking old man sat on the left hand at the bottom, Shangguan Wenhe sat in the third place across an empty seat, the first two seats on the right were vacant, and Xuanyi Bohuo Yuanbing sat in third place.

After a servant informed him, Shangguan Qing knelt down at the seven steps to pay respects to the Great Chu Emperor.

When Mingming came, Shangguan Qing said to herself a thousand times in her heart that the emperor is the evil leader of the old society and a paper tiger, so don't be afraid, but after seeing it, Shangguan Qing still felt a little guilty.

"Get up, come here and let me see."

"No." Shangguan Qing got up and walked seven steps slowly.

"Come closer."

Shangguan Qing took another seven steps forward, and was almost approaching the position of Shangguan Wenhe and Huo Yuanbing. Shangguan Qing lowered his head slightly, and looked at Huo Yuanbing out of the corner of his eye. The tight old hand's knuckles were protruding and white, and he wanted to come over and punch Shangguan Qing.

"Head up."

Shangguan Qing raised her head and met the ninety-five supreme master's eyes. From those majestic eyes, Shangguan Qing saw a sharp smoothness. The vitality in her body automatically activated and entered the state of full defense.

The emperor is a master of vitality, and his strength is extraordinary, even stronger than Shangguan Qing's state when he was embroidering.

"Very good, Shangguan Aiqing, you gave birth to a good daughter." Chu Huaitian could tell the depth of Shangguan Qing's cultivation at a glance. He had seen the table broken by Shangguan Qing in Princess Xiyue's mansion, so he knew it right then. Shangguan Qing realized her vitality, and only now did she realize that she still underestimated this little girl. Could it be that his sons are flocking to her, even if her appearance is a little more ordinary, she is not bad.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Shangguan Wenhe got up and thanked.

"Your Majesty." The old man headed by Wenban stood up.

"Prime Minister, please tell me." Chu Huaitian was very polite to this old man, and Shangguan Qing knew that this old man was Liu Gang, the current Prime Minister.

"Your Highness, the marriage contract between Shangguan's family and Huo's family is in advance. Although Shangguan's wife was confused for a while, Shangguan said that he would withdraw the engagement within a day. It is not an act of a gentleman. If there is no dispute, General Huo will not come. If the Shangguan family reasoned, they would not be taken advantage of by traitors." After Liu Gang finished speaking, Shangguan Qing only hated him, and wanted to kick his old face very much.

"What does the prime minister mean?"

"Since the Shangguan family killed one of Uncle Xuanyi's sons, they should be replaced by Uncle Xuanyi's son. I beg Your Majesty to give this daughter to Uncle Xuanyi to continue the Huo family's heir."

Shangguan Qing denied the previous idea that she should hack this old man to death with one knife.

"Your Majesty, there is a mistake in the discipline of the minister's family, but you can't push your daughter into the fire pit. Please forgive me." Shangguan Wenhe got up and came out, knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor.

Shangguan Qing knelt down and kowtowed at the back.

Liu Gang said leisurely: "Shangguan said that such actions are not done by a gentleman."

"If you push your daughter into the fire pit, you are an upright gentleman. I would rather not be such an upright gentleman." Shangguan Wenhe refused to budge.

Chu Huaitian raised his face and asked: "Don't talk about it, Shangguan, what should you say?"
