The next morning, Yan Donghuang got up and changed his clothes, and took Changlan and Changyue to the palace.

When they arrived at the front yard, Mo Lin, dressed in a black robe, came to them and bowed: "Your Highness, the three ministers came again yesterday, and they are kneeling outside the gate to plead guilty for their sons."

"Yesterday, Sheng Jingan did not return home all night, and the old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo sent people to ask three times."

"This morning, before dawn, Princess Fengyang brought two maids to the outside of the Princess's Mansion, saying that they were here to apologize. Please meet her no matter what, Your Highness, she has a lot to say to Your Highness."

The three things were reported separately, and the words were concise and to the point, which was in line with Mo Lin's usual style.

When he finished speaking, Yan Donghuang just stepped out of the gate, and lowered his eyes to see three familiar ministers kneeling outside.

Yan Donghuang paused, looked at the three officials calmly, and said indifferently: "What are you doing?"

Sheng Lanfu saluted respectfully: "Your Highness, I pay my respects to Her Highness, the Crown Princess. May Your Highness live a thousand years and a thousand years!"

The other two ministers followed suit.

After Zheng Zhong finished his salute, Sheng Lanfu said with shame: "I am here to apologize to the Princess."

Yan Donghuang said indifferently: "What crime have you committed?"

Shen Yunshan looked terrified and bowed his head in fear. He no longer had the arrogance of yesterday: "Your Highness, I have not taught my children well, causing them to behave rebelliously and commit unforgivable crimes. You deserve to die! Your Highness, the Princess, will take full control of my rebellious son. You have no complaints. Please understand me, the Princess!"

Yan Donghuang did not speak, but turned his eyes slightly and saw a carriage parked on the left.

The curtain of the carriage was being lifted by a maid.

Yan Yushu bowed and walked out of the carriage. With the help of the maid, she got off the carriage. Her thin body was wrapped in a thick cloak, but it couldn't hide the pale and weak color on her face.

Yan Donghuang retracted his gaze, his voice calm but full of pressure: "You are all important officials in the court. You don't have to kneel here. Please go back."

"Your Highness the Crown Princess." Shen Yunshan knelt on the ground and pleaded carefully, "Please raise your hands and spare Jinyan's life. You can punish him as you want. I have no complaints. I just ask... I just ask Your Highness not to let him die..."

"Don't worry, Lord Shen." Yan Donghuang said coldly, "He is now a member of the Princess's Mansion. His life and death are indeed decided by me, but I don't plan to kill him for the time being."

Shen Yunshan hurriedly thanked him: "Yes, thank you, Princess, thank you, Your Highness!"

"Donghuang." Yan Yushu Slowly came to Yan Donghuang, knelt down and bowed, "Greetings to the Royal Princess."

Yan Donghuang looked at her expressionlessly: "Didn't you have a miscarriage yesterday? Why didn't you stay in the Marquis' Mansion and have a good rest?"

"I have something to tell you." Yan Yushu walked up to her, lowered her head, and tentatively took her hand, "Let's talk."

Under the wide sleeves, an object that was cold to the touch slipped into Yan Donghuang's hand. Yan Yushu held her hand tightly, feeling sad: "Can you give me some time?"

Yan Donghuang's eyebrows moved slightly, and he turned back to the mansion without a sound: "Mo Lin, send someone to the palace to invite a doctor."

"Yes." Mo Lin took the order and left.

Yan Yushu was supported by two maids, and quietly followed Yan Donghuang and followed her into the Qingluan Palace.

The two walked to the brocade couch in the inner hall and sat down.

Yan Donghuang ordered Changlan to bring the charcoal fire and put it at Yan Yushu's feet, and ordered someone to bring a blanket to cover her.

Yan Yushu's face was as pale as paper, even her lips were white, only her eyes were red, and mist was about to fall in her eyes.

"All of you go out." Yan Donghuang ordered, "Tell the kitchen to make a bowl of ginger soup for Princess Fengyang."

Yan Yushu lowered her eyes, her expression was stunned and sad: "Qing'er, Hui'er, you also go out."

Qing'er hesitated: "But Princess, you are weak..."

Yan Yushu smiled weakly: "The eldest princess is here, what are you afraid of?"

Qing'er and Hui'er had to kneel down and leave after hearing this: "Yes."

The palace fell into silence.

Yan Yushu raised her hand and gently stroked her abdomen: "The child died yesterday. My mother-in-law wanted to find me to blame. I didn't have the energy to deal with her, so I used my status as a princess to ask her to kneel down and pay her respects. I didn't expect her to run away."

"Chen Shaoheng wanted to support his mother and came into the room to question me. I was shocked to realize that I was such a coward as a princess."

"Chen Shaoheng saw that I was angry and softened his voice to coax me. I realized that men are also bullies who are afraid of the strong."

Yan Yushu held the hot milk and took a sip: "He asked me to come to you to complain, and wanted me to use my bitterness to I came here to win your sympathy with a flesh trick, and I really want to win your sympathy. "

Yan Donghuang lowered his eyes and looked at the black porcelain bottle in his hand: "What is this?"

"Chen Shaoheng said it was a medicine, not fatal, but it would make people weak and powerless." Yan Yushu smiled lightly, weakly, "But I don't believe it at all."

"Why didn't you listen to him?"

"I don't want to hurt anyone." Yan Yushu looked gloomy, "I blamed you yesterday, and when the child was gone, I was even more resentful, but I... I couldn't do anything to you..."

Yan Donghuang didn't speak.

"Donghuang, I didn't think of harming you." Yan Yushu raised her hand to wipe away her tears, her voice choked, "I don't know how things turned out like this, the change was too sudden, I couldn't accept it, I thought it would be the second emperor who ascended the throne..."

Yan Donghuang said coldly: "Why do you have to insist on letting him ascend the throne?"

"Because the three of us have the best relationship." Yan Yushu bit her lip, "The uncle of the second emperor brother is Chu Shangshu, and Chu Shangshu's wife is Chen Shaoheng's aunt. They are all related by marriage, so it is best for the Pingyang Marquis Mansion if he ascends the throne. I... …I’m also thinking about my children.”

Yan Donghuang said nothing, his expression indifferent and calm.

"But the Chu family was beheaded, the second emperor brother was demoted to a county king, and Pingyang Hou Mansion has lost two backers and offended so many officials. I'm afraid it will be difficult to move forward in the future." Yan Yushu smiled palely, "Maybe this is It’s our retribution, it’s our retribution to lose our children.”

Yan Donghuang said calmly: "Chen Shaoheng is not a good match."

"You're right." Yan Yushu nodded slowly, hesitated for a long time, and then said, "I want to make peace with him."

"Marquis Pingyang has evil intentions and is harmful to others. He will not be able to escape the death penalty." Yan Donghuang said coldly, "You are the princess and you have the right to divorce him."

Changyue brought the ginger soup in, walked to Yan Yushu, and handed the ginger soup to her: "Princess, please drink the ginger soup first and then talk."

Yan Yushu didn't say anything and drank the ginger soup in one gulp.

"Chang Yue, prepare pen and ink for Princess Fengyang." Yan Donghuang ordered, then looked at Yan Yushu, "Sister Huang now needs to write a letter of divorce by hand, and admit that Marquis Pingyang gave you poison and signaled you to murder the Crown Prince. This is The most crucial evidence to convict Marquis Pingyang."

Yan Yushu's expression changed slightly: "Does it have to be written?"

"It must be written." Yan Donghuang's attitude was tough, "Pingyang Hou dares to think of poisoning me, and he is destined to die."
