Chapter 326 Because of a Ji Mingxuan, it's all gone
Ji Mingxuan's goal was achieved, so he stopped caring so much, got up and left.
But the old emperor still felt that the matter could not be let go. In his opinion, Liu Wentao had deceived his feelings.
Although he knew that only Ji Mingxuan was on his side in the court now, the ones who wanted him to step down the most were his sons who were becoming increasingly powerful.
He knew that his sons were forming cliques in the court, but because he was protected by Ji Mingxuan, he was somewhat confident. He just knew that when someone formed a clique, he would give him a small punishment or a big warning.
But this time Lao San and Liu Wentao went too far. Lao San went to grab Ji Mingxuan's mine and wanted to take it for himself, so he was blatantly confronting him.
And Liu Wentao even encouraged his daughter to complain to Jinghe, trying to sow discord between him and Ji Mingxuan. This approach is simply disgusting!
After Ji Mingxuan left, he immediately issued an imperial edict, directly demoting Liu Wentao's official position and banishing him to a bitter and cold place.
He had been demoted once before, but Ji Mingxuan didn't say that Liu Wentao had made any mistakes at that time. He thought that Liu Wentao had offended Ji Mingxuan, so he punished him with a small punishment and demoted him from minister to minister. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be evil.
Heart, then we can no longer let it go.
As for the third prince, he has not done anything for the time being. The punishment given to Liu Wentao is a warning to him, and it will not be so easy next time.
"Go and call Jinghe over."
After issuing the edict, the emperor still felt a little unhappy and issued another order.
The maids around them immediately went to do it, and soon brought Jinghe over.
Jinghe was still losing her temper in the palace, but she was suddenly summoned. Knowing that her father must have known about this, she felt a little scared.
She originally wanted to ask Cai Lian for advice, but Cai Lian was sent by her to find a killer and was not around for a while. In the panic, she could only go there pretending to be calm.
Outside the palace, she tried hard to adjust her expression, put on her usual sweet smile, and then walked inside with her skirt in hand.
The old emperor had not slept enough to begin with, so he was a little tired of waiting for her, and his face was extremely gloomy.
"Father, please find your son...ah!"
As soon as she opened her mouth, the old emperor threw the tea cup at her hand at her.
Just like how she treated the maids around her before.
It's just that the old emperor was merciful after all and didn't hit her directly on the head, otherwise she would definitely bleed now.
She was so frightened that she knelt on the ground. Seeing that she had a good attitude, the old emperor's expression softened a lot.
"Do you know why I lost my temper?"
Jinghe originally wanted to say she didn't know, but this was obviously unrealistic, so she nodded and said, "Yes...it's because Erchen... Erchen went..."
"It turns out you knew, I thought you didn't know!"
The old emperor snorted coldly, and then said: "How many times have I told you that you are my daughter and a high-ranking princess. What kind of man do you want? You just want to raise a handsome man in your own palace. I have told you
I can promise you! But you should never provoke Ji Mingxuan! Let alone attack Ji Mingxuan’s woman! I think you are just tired of living!"
Jinghe originally wanted to calm down, the worst she could do was to get scolded, and then continue to do whatever she had to do, but what she didn't expect was that from what her father told her, as a princess, she wanted the life of a courtier's daughter.
Tired of living.
Is it possible that even the father is afraid of Ji Mingxuan?
"Father, you are the emperor and the emperor! Can't you find a good husband for your daughter? I don't like anyone except Ji Mingxuan!"
She mustered up the courage to have a fight with the old emperor, and maybe she could get a chance for herself.
"Asshole!"
The old emperor immediately stood up from his stool, walked up to Jinghe in a few steps, and slapped her without saying a word.
"Everything I told you is in vain!"
Jinghe was slapped, not only was he not afraid, but he became more courageous, and immediately retorted: "Is it possible that your father is still afraid of Ji Mingxuan? Father, you are the emperor, and Ji Mingxuan is just a lackey around you!
"
"Then why do you just fall in love with a lackey! You shameless and lowly thing!"
The old emperor became more and more angry and really wanted to beat her to death.
He's so proud of himself that he really can't bear to tell the truth to Jinghe. The current situation is that he seems to be the lackey.
But what can be done? He just relies on Ji Mingxuan's protection to sit in this position safely. As long as he can have good food and clothing every day without having to worry about anything, he doesn't care what Ji Mingxuan has done.
Anyway, he had long discovered that Ji Mingxuan was not interested in this emperor, otherwise with Ji Mingxuan's ability, the world would no longer be his.
As long as it doesn't threaten his life, he doesn't care.
Jinghe never thought that her father would scold her like this, calling her a shameless and despicable person.
She is obviously the most noble princess in the entire Dajing Dynasty!
"I called you here just to tell you that you'd better stop playing those little tricks, otherwise I will hand you over to Ji Mingxuan directly. Whether you live or die, I won't ask anymore!"
Jinghe froze on the spot with his eyes wide open. Before he could speak, the emperor said again: "Over the years, I have pampered you to the point of being lawless, and you don't even know how high the sky is. From today on, I will take back the title and land given to you.
During this period of time, I will be confined in the palace to reflect. Without my will, you are not allowed to step out of the palace gate without permission!"
In an instant, she changed from the noblest princess in the Dajing Dynasty to the meanest princess.
Not all princesses have titles and fiefs. Not only does she have them, she is also the most and best. But now, because of Ji Mingxuan, they are all gone.
"Father, father! I know I was wrong, father!"
Jinghe was really scared. She knew that the reason why she was respected by others was because of her title. If her title was revoked, she would become the laughing stock of the entire Dajing Dynasty. From now on, let alone Ji Mingxuan, there would be some in the palace.
Even the most powerful palace maids and eunuchs could step on her.
She has been held in the palm of her hand since she was a child. If it really becomes like this, she might as well die!
She hugged the old emperor's thigh tightly and did not let go, crying and begging for mercy, but the old emperor remained unmoved and said coldly: "I have given you countless opportunities, have you ever cherished them?"
"The world has been peaceful these past few years and you have been able to live a luxurious life all because of Ji Mingxuan. Now that you have offended others, you still want others to protect you. How is that possible?"
The old emperor saw clearly and gave her a rare reminder, and Jinghe also had an enlightenment at this moment.
What she thought before was wrong.
She always thought that her father was on guard against Ji Mingxuan, and even feared Ji Mingxuan's power. Unexpectedly, her father was not what she thought at all. Now, her father completely relied on Ji Mingxuan to survive. With such a relationship, she suddenly
After offending Ji Mingxuan again and again, no wonder his father would be so angry.
"My son, I know that I was wrong. I will go and beg brother Mingxuan for forgiveness and ask my father to give me another chance!"
She kept kowtowing, her tears mixed with the blood on her forehead, her whole body was so humble that she was in a puddle, and she no longer had the pride of the past.
