The Prodigal Son of Zhenguan

At Princess Linhai's mansion, the eunuch sent by Li Yuan came to the outside of the princess's mansion with the handwritten edict of the retired emperor.

"This is the handwritten edict of the retired emperor." The eunuch said to the gatekeeper: "The retired emperor ordered me to take Princess Linhai to the Zongzheng Temple."

"Young Supervisor, please."

The gatekeeper invited the eunuch sent by Li Yuan into the princess's mansion.

Although Princess Linhai was confined to the princess's mansion for the past two days, it did not prevent her from being very irritable at all.

In her opinion, all this was simply inexplicable.

She was inexplicably brought back to Chang'an City and confined to the princess's mansion. Until now, she has no idea about the news outside, the Pei family has not made any movement, and her husband does not know where he was taken by the people of the Baiqi Division.

I don't know anything.

Even if she relied on her status as a princess, the people guarding outside the princess's mansion did not give her any face.

Princess Linhai also recalled what Lawyer Pei said that night, but she couldn't figure it out no matter how she thought about it.

Lawyer Pei seemed to have calculated that they would return to Chang'an again.

What is the situation now?

What did Lawyer Pei do outside without telling me?

"Princess."

Princess Linhai's personal maid walked quickly to the door of the room, stood at the door, and bowed.

"Someone is coming from the palace."

Princess Linhai stood up suddenly, staggered, and hurriedly held the rack with clothes hanging next to her.

"Where is the person?"

"Waiting in the hall, it is the eunuch from Da'an Palace, who said he came with the order of the emperor."

"Come with me." Princess Linan said, and stepped out of the door and hurried to the main hall.

The eunuch in the palace of Da'an Palace saw Princess Linhai and bowed to her.

"What is the order of the emperor?" Princess Linhai saw the eunuch in the palace, and her face was anxious.

She was now eager to know what happened outside.

"Don't be anxious, Your Highness." The eunuch said, "Let me report to you slowly, this matter is serious."

The eunuch in the palace told Princess Linhai what Lawyer Pei did before leaving Chang'an City.

"Now, the crime of the son-in-law has been determined. Two days later, it will be the day of execution. The emperor asked me to come here to ask you if you want to see the son-in-law before that. Now, the son-in-law is locked up in the cell of Zongzheng Temple. If Your Highness wants to see the son-in-law, I have the emperor's handwritten order here, and I can take Your Highness to Zongzheng Temple."

"In addition, the emperor has also prepared a divorce letter..."

The eunuch took out two copies of the divorce letter that had been prepared from his arms and handed them to Princess Linhai.

"This time, not only the son-in-law will be executed, but also the Pei family. Prime Minister Pei was exiled to Guangzhou, and the Pei family's property was confiscated. In addition, all the officials of the Puzhou Pei family in the court will be demoted by three levels."

This news, like a bolt from the blue, hit Princess Linhai's forehead.

How could such a major change happen outside after staying in the princess's mansion for such a short time.

The Pei family, is it over?

Her husband is going to be executed? Her father-in-law was exiled?

"Is this true?" Princess Linhai still couldn't believe it.

"Even if I have the courage of the sky, I will not joke with your highness about this matter."

The words of the palace eunuch made Princess Linhai realize the truth.

"Besides, I came here at the order of the emperor, and the emperor will not deceive your highness."

After the palace eunuch finished speaking, he stood aside respectfully.

He also knew that this news was a bit shocking to Princess Linhai, and it would take a while for her to recover.

After a long time, Princess Linhai covered her chest and breathed for a long time before she recovered.

Princess Linhai's personal maid had been standing beside her, accompanying her carefully, and also stroking her back to help her recover.

"How could this happen!" Princess Linhai murmured to herself.

The palace eunuch who was waiting on the side saw that Princess Linhai had recovered, and then spoke carefully.

"Your Highness, are you going to see the prince consort? If you are going, let's set off now. If Your Highness doesn't want to see the prince consort, I will go back to Da'an Palace to report." The eunuch cupped his hands and lowered his head.

"Of course I have to see him. I want to ask him what he thinks!"

There was a bit of gnashing of teeth in Princess Linhai's tone.

Lawyer Pei, is he a fool?

He has been with Prime Minister Pei for so many years, but he has not learned anything and actually did such a stupid thing.

He got himself into trouble and implicated the Pei family.

He didn't even consider his own feelings when he did this.

Spreading rumors about the emperor, destroyingThe reputation of the emperor.

The emperor, that's her father, your father-in-law, Lawyer Pei!

Is there a son-in-law like you?

Doing such a thing, where does she, a royal princess, stand?

After learning the whole thing, Princess Linhai was sad and angry.

Lawyer Pei did things without thinking, and didn't consider how others would deal with it, and how serious the consequences would be.

Now Princess Linhai thought about what Lawyer Pei said that night.

Now, everything can be figured out.

Go back to Chang'an?

Haha, what a good way to go back to Chang'an.

It really came back to Chang'an as he wished.

But, after coming back, he can't leave for the rest of his life.

Die here.

Princess Linhai wanted to curse, but years of good upbringing prevented her from saying anything bad.

She just kept complaining bitterly that Lawyer Pei didn't think before doing things.

However, no matter how stupid Lawyer Pei was, he was still her husband and the father of her child.

How could she watch him die and do nothing?

Princess Linhai closed her eyes, caught between the two sides, and was really in a dilemma.

"Let's go to Zongzheng Temple." Princess Linhai said, and strode out, quite heroic.

The young eunuch in the palace hurriedly followed.

The people in the mansion hurriedly prepared the carriages, and after everything was ready, the two carriages drove towards Zongzheng Temple.

The dungeon on the Zongzheng Temple side, after sending Pei Ji away, welcomed Princess Linhai.

Princess Linhai's identity was different after all, and the Baiqi Division was more respectful after seeing Princess Linhai.

"Your Highness, please come this way." The people of the Baiqi Division took Princess Linhai to the dungeon.

"The prince consort was locked up in the dungeon?" Princess Linhai looked at the people of the Baiqi Division in disbelief.

She thought that when someone was imprisoned in Zongzheng Temple, they would probably just be given a courtyard to be kept in solitary custody.

At worst, they would just be imprisoned in an ordinary cell.

Unexpectedly, it was actually a dungeon? !

What kind of place is a dungeon? ! Who is imprisoned there? ! !
