Ye Chenfeng frowned, "This is not appropriate for the Queen Mother."
"What's wrong?" Empress Dowager Xiaojin raised her chin and said forcefully: "Your imperial brother has not yet established himself as a queen. As the mother of the royal family, Ai Jia is responsible for teaching the royal daughter-in-law!
Mei Wen'er, as the regent princess, has done something to humiliate the royal family! You dare to use the reputation of your father, Prime Minister Mei, to secretly manipulate the Jingzhao Mansion to agree to the letter of divorce from you! You should be punished for this crime!"
"What?!" Mei Wenhua exclaimed, unable to control her emotions. She never expected that Mei Wen'er would divorce the prince?!
this……
Not to mention Mei Wenhua was shocked!
Mrs. Mei Xiang was also very shocked, "Impossible! The Queen Mother is so kind, my son would never act like this. Everyone knows that she loves His Highness the Regent deeply and finally asked for a marriage. How could she act like this?
"
"Mrs. Xiang, are you questioning the Ai family's lack of understanding?" Empress Dowager Xiaojin asked accusingly.
"My wife dare not!" Mrs. Mei Xiang knelt down and said, "My wife is just telling you the truth. I hope the Queen Mother will understand."
"I'm sorry you don't dare!" Queen Mother Xiaojin looked sideways at Shunfu, "Why don't you bring out the guilty woman Mei Wen'er quickly!"
"No." Shunfu immediately led people towards the house.
Ye Chenfeng's face darkened, but he also knew that the more he stopped her at this moment! The more energetic the Queen Mother became, the more disadvantageous it would be for Mei Wen'er. But if he didn't stop her, Mei Wen'er would definitely die if the fifty plank fell.
Thinking of this, Ye Chenfeng still spoke, "Mother, since you are well-informed, do you know that someone wanted to assassinate Mei Wen'er in the Prime Minister's Mansion last night?"
"Oh, and that's another thing, why didn't I see you report to the official?" Queen Mother Xiaojin asked pretending to be confused.
Shunfu had already walked up to Ye Chenfeng and wanted to bypass him and go in to pick up Mei Wen'er.
Ye Chenfeng didn't stop him, he just said: "Not to mention why I didn't report to the official, I just said that she was brutally assassinated last night, and today she will be punished by fifty with a cane! With the body and bones of a weak woman, the queen is just trying to
It's just her life.
I, the king, do not like her anyway. If the mother insists on doing this, her sons and ministers will not care, but Prime Minister Mei is currently in the south to provide disaster relief. Does the emperor know about the mother's move?"
"You threaten the Ai family?!" Queen Mother Xiaojin raised her eyebrows, with unconcealed anger in her eyes!
Ye Chenfeng looked at each other coldly and said, "This is the end of my words. I'll take my leave."
After saying that, he stepped forward and gently lifted up the frightened Wanwan, "Follow me back to the palace."
"But..." Mei Wenhua still looked at Mei Wen'er, as if she wanted to save someone.
Ye Chenfeng, however, didn't look at Mei Wen'er again and led the people away.
Shunfu stopped in front of the door at that time, "Mother?"
"For the sake of Prime Minister Mei, the stick will be twenty. I will serve as a warning! The royal family's face cannot be scorned by anyone." Although Empress Dowager Xiaojin changed her tune, she still wanted to beat her! Just in case Mei Wen'er was really pregnant.
Shunfu received the order and immediately opened the door and entered the house.
And at this time——
Mei Wen'er, who had heard the whole story long ago, also knew that she could not escape this beating. It seemed like fate. Mei Wen'er's first child was destined to be unable to survive.
Even though she didn't want to protect her, her heart still ached. After all, it was her child, even if he came and was not blessed,
"Princess, I'm offended."
Shunfu, who clasped his fists and said goodbye to the bed, waved his hand to indicate to the eunuch Dali who was accompanying him that he could take action.
The two powerful eunuchs were about to lift Mei Wen'er up, but the latter sat up on her own, "I'll go by myself."
"Princess, please." Shunfu didn't deliberately create difficulties and had already asked the two powerful eunuchs to step back.
"No!" Mrs. Xiang, who had always been weak, now fiercely protected her daughter, "Master, look! This is the court for which you devoted yourself to death! They all came home to bully Wen'er.
!Someone is coming——”
"Madam Xiang..." Shunfu raised his eyes and motioned to Eunuch Dali to ask the lady out.
However, many palace guards suddenly appeared in the yard. They were obviously called out by Mrs. Mei Xiang! It was also the protection left by Mei Xiang to his wife.
However, the determined Empress Dowager Xiaojin coldly rebuked: "Why, is it possible for the Prime Minister to commit the following crimes?"
"Everyone, please step aside." Mei Wen'er said as she walked out of the room, "I, Mei Wen'er, dare to take the responsibility and divorce the prince. It is indeed my disrespect to the royal family and I should bear the responsibility. The Queen Mother enforces the law strictly, yes."
Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother Xiaojing immediately turned to look at Mei Wen'er, "So, are you convinced?"
"Of course." Mei Wen'er knelt down and said, "But from today on, Mei Wen'er is no longer the royal daughter-in-law! Please remember this, the Queen Mother, and don't come to the Prime Minister's Mansion to look for the Princess Regent again in the future."
Since you are going to be beaten anyway! Let this beating be worth it!
When she first arrived, she had nothing and could not fight against the feudal imperial power. She could only be beaten!
But it will never be like this in the future! Mei Wen'er swore silently, but continued, "In the past, the courtiers were ignorant and thought they could sway the regent with their deep emotions, but after marrying into the palace, they realized that it was all in vain!
That’s why I committed such an act of contempt for the royal family! I know the crime, but I ask the Queen Mother to make it possible for me to correct my mistakes when I realize it, and I don’t want to be trapped in the wrong choice again.”
"Oh?" Queen Mother Xiaojing looked at Mei Wen'er in surprise. Although she couldn't be sure for the moment whether what this girl said was true or false, it was a good thing that she admitted her mistake at this time.
The Queen Mother Xiaojing, who did not want to get into trouble with the Prime Minister's office, nodded, "Okay, Ai Jia will help you. Please take Miss Mei down with you. The stick will be twenty! No mercy."
"No." Shunfu acted again.
But this time, Mrs. Xiang, who had been comforted by Mei Wen'er, did not stop her anymore, and the servants in the mansion did not move any more.
Twenty boards were hit on Mei Wen'er's body one by one in the small courtyard where she lived.
"Miss……"
Xiaoruan, who was standing by, watched helplessly and felt extremely painful! But the eldest lady, who was always delicate, did not say a word this time and endured it forcefully.
As for Mei Wen'er, who was really in pain, it wasn't that she didn't want to cry out, but she knew that it would be futile to cry out. No one could save her, so she might as well save her breath.
But she didn't know that Ye Chenfeng, who hadn't actually left, had been watching her secretly, watching her use the Queen Mother to get rid of her relationship with him, watching her stubbornly bite the back of her hand to bear the stick.
"Your Majesty, are you really not going to take action?" Guan Feng asked quietly.
"She has just tried so hard to break off the relationship with me. If I take action, wouldn't it delay her?"
"But..." Guan Feng wanted to say but did not dare to say more. He thought that the prince had been very interested in the princess recently and had a good impression of her. If he took action now, the princess would definitely be grateful.
But Ye Chenfeng knew that she wouldn't, and she really wanted to get rid of him.
"It's changing so fast." Ye Chenfeng always felt that something was wrong, "I remember that in the border military camp, there were strange things about resurrecting corpses. Could it be that Mei Wen'er also changed the core?"
