Yun Chen didn't expect that she would suddenly lose her temper. He was startled, and then his expression changed, "Why is Jiu Mei so angry? I just want to advise you, how can a husband and wife not quarrel?"
The emperor's expression had darkened.
"Zishu, don't lose the grace of a royal princess." He said coldly, his tone already filled with dissatisfaction, "How is it inappropriate to cry in front of so many people?"
Most of the imperial guards brought by the emperor stayed outside the princess's palace. At this time, only a few personal guards followed, all of them watching their noses and hearts. The maids who gathered in the princess's palace lowered their heads and hunched their shoulders.
I didn't even dare to raise my head.
If given the choice, I would like to bury myself in the soil.
Yun Zishu took a deep breath: "So it doesn't matter if I am wronged, it doesn't matter even if I die in the Xiao family, but if I have a grievance, I can't talk about it. I must compromise to maintain the face of the royal family and the demeanor of the princess?"
Yun Chen was angry: "Jiu Mei!"
"I have forgiven Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Yunheng for what happened to the Xiao family yesterday." Yun Zishu raised her eyes slightly and looked at her dearest father, "But my father had to force me to go back to that restaurant."
Go into a man's den of jackals?"
The emperor's face was gloomy, and his heart was overwhelmed. He was furious at Yun Zishu's stubbornness, but looking at her red eyes, he felt guilty for a moment.
In order to maintain the illusion of deep love between father and daughter, he had to persuade patiently: "You were wronged before, why didn't you tell me directly?"
"Mrs. Xiao kept saying that this was a family matter, so she didn't report it to my father in time." Yun Zishu raised her hand to wipe away her tears, "I don't want my father to worry, and besides, I can solve this matter myself -"
"Your solution is to divorce your husband?" Yun Chen frowned.
Yun Zishu didn't want to deal with this idiot.
The emperor calmly said nothing and walked towards the main courtyard. Yun Chen and Yun Zishu followed silently until they entered the main hall and the emperor sat down in his seat.
Yun Zishu stood aside and did not sit down.
Sicang has arrived outside the main hall, looking very imposing in his black robe.
The eunuch Yang Xi who followed ordered the maids to bring tea, and then ordered everyone to leave, except for himself who stood by the emperor.
"Zishu, the princess represents the face of the royal family. The Xiao family is a family of military commanders that I value highly. You are making a big fuss. It's very difficult for me to be caught in the middle." The emperor suppressed his dissatisfaction and began to retreat instead of advancing, trying to provoke Yunzi.
Shu felt guilty, "What if this time there really is a stalemate, and there will be a gap between the Xiao family and the royal family..."
"It is the duty of ministers to be loyal to the king, and they should not involve others." Yun Zishu said calmly, "If it is just because they are not at odds with the princess and her husband that it affects their loyalty to the king, then such ministers cannot be entrusted with trust.
, let alone reuse.”
The emperor's face darkened: "Zishu, how can you speak like this?"
Yang Xi hurriedly smiled and said: "Your Highness the Princess doesn't know. After the Emperor severely punished Xiao Yunheng last night, he didn't sleep all night because he was worried about Your Highness... The Princess is a weak girl after all. How can she be without anyone to protect her? The Princess should also
Considering the emperor’s paternal affection, right?”
"My son is unfilial." Yun Zishu frowned slightly and said in a respectful and self-reproaching tone, "Father, please punish me."
"I know that you have been wronged. I will ask Mrs. Xiao to pick you up in person later. In front of me, she must make a promise to me. She will never bully you in the cold again." The emperor said, and ordered someone to send him away.
All the things for Zishu were presented, "I brought some ginseng and bird's nest to replenish your health."
Yun Zishu stood aside and said nothing, but she knew in her heart that the emperor's kindness and power, including the ginseng and bird's nest, and Mrs. Xiao's personal apology, were forcing her to return to the Xiao family.
Let Mrs. Xiao make a promise?
No matter what promise Mrs. Xiao made today, Yun Zishu knew very well in her heart that if she really went back, no matter what she said, even if Mrs. Xiao wanted to imprison her and abuse and beat her from now on, her father would never do it.
Will make the decision for her.
It is impossible for people outside to get any more information.
After the Xiao family has suffered this loss, will they really give up and pretend that nothing happened?
Yun Zishu sneered in her heart, she must have a bad mind to believe what these people said.
"As for that Li Xue." The emperor frowned, "She is indeed shameless. As a concubine, she dares to climb on top of the head wife and act wild. I have decided to punish her well."
Zishu said calmly: "Li Xue framed me and framed my princess. According to the rules, my family should be confiscated and my clan destroyed."
Yun Chen frowned: "Nine sisters."
"Zishu, I've suspended Li Wenzhong from his post to reflect at home. Confiscating his family and exterminating his family is a bit serious." The emperor explained patiently, "Princess Shang, the legitimate son of the official family, is inherently exposed to risks. It is inevitable that there will be quarrels and quarrels between husband and wife.
If we don’t agree, we will label the following criminals and confiscate their families and exterminate their families. Who will dare to marry a princess in the future?”
Yun Zishu said nothing and looked outside the hall.
Sicang, who was dressed in black robe, had a handsome side face as carved by a knife and an axe, cold and dignified. Standing outside so silently at this time made people feel more at ease.
"Your Majesty." An imperial guard came quickly and knelt on one knee outside the hall, "General Xiao and Mrs. Xiao are here."
The emperor suppressed his emotions and spoke solemnly: "Let them come in."
"yes."
The imperial guards left in a hurry, and Yun Zishu withdrew her gaze, staring silently at the black brick floor in the hall, with a hint of mockery in her eyes.
In order to force her to return to the Xiao family, her father really played the role of a "good father" to the fullest. Not only did he personally come to persuade her, he didn't even leave her any room to refuse.
Yun Chen sat on the other side, holding a tea cup in his hand and sneering secretly.
A princess who has lost her mother's protection, really thinks she can go against her father by losing her temper? This time the Xiao family has made it so ugly, let's see if she can reap any good fruits after she returns.
Xiao Yuanting and Mrs. Xiao rushed over quickly.
"My wife, I see you, Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty! May you live a thousand years, Your Majesty the Crown Prince!"
"Plain body."
"Didn't General Xiao and Mrs. Xiao see this princess?" Yun Zishu turned her eyes slightly and fell on them coldly, "Or do you mean that you two never paid attention to the princess at all?"
The emperor frowned fiercely.
General Xiao, who was about to stand up, knelt back again: "I wish to see Your Highness the Princess——"
"General Xiao." Yun Zishu reminded him calmly, "I am the princess who protects the country. Which princess are you meeting?"
Xiao Yuanting was furious, but there was no emotion on his face. He respectfully changed his words: "I see Her Royal Highness the Princess Protector of the Country. Your Highness is a thousand years old."
Mrs. Xiao followed and saluted: "I see Her Royal Highness the Princess Protector of the Country. Your Highness is a thousand years old."
