But here's the problem. Su Liang is not sure what Duanmu Chen plans to do, and once Mrs. Xing personally takes action to deal with Miao, Xing Yuyang and Miss Miao, it will become a stone in her heart and affect
Her relationship with the other children of the Miao family. In short, this is a very difficult matter.
Therefore, Su Liang didn't want to leave this big trouble to Mrs. Xing. Afterwards, she only needed to say that Duanmu Chen would not allow her to interfere.
As for how Duanmu Chen wanted to deal with it, Old Mrs.
There is no need to tell Xing Yusheng first. He has always kept a distance from Miao and her children.
After returning home, Su Liang and Gu Ling fell asleep quickly.
Early the next morning, the whole family of the Zhongxin Hou Mansion, including the crown prince Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing, were all summoned to the palace.
At the same time that the Xing family entered the palace, Miss Miao, whom Xing Yuyang thought she had hidden, and her two brothers who were hiding in another part of the capital, were searched by Xing's people, and they were arrested together with the servants around them.
Arrested and put into prison.
…
After entering the palace, the Xing family did not see Duanmu Chen or Xing Yuyan directly. Instead, they waited in an empty palace.
Old Mrs.
Xing Yusheng didn't think anything happened to his father. If that were the case, Duanmu Chen would have discussed it with Su Liang first, and she would have informed the Xing family immediately.
Being in the palace, Xing Yusheng had to suspect that today's incident had something to do with Xing Yuyan. But he didn't know what was going on, so he didn't say anything. He only comforted Lin Xueqing not to worry. Even if Xing Ji wanted to rebel, at least Lin Xueqing would be fine.
After Duanmu Chen went to court and reviewed the memorial, he brought Chang An over to see the Xing family.
Mrs. Xing and her whole family knelt down to salute. Duanmu Chen looked calm and said, "Mr. Xing and Mrs. Crown Prince are on the same level, please give me a seat."
Xing Yusheng, who was kneeling on the ground, felt his heart sink. Only his grandmother and the pregnant Lin Xueqing were allowed to sit, while everyone else had to continue to kneel? That was undoubtedly a bad thing!
Xing Yusheng gave Lin Xueqing a reassuring look, and a palace maid came over to help Mrs. Xing and Lin Xueqing to sit down next to them.
Miao's head was lowered, and Duanmu Chen's eyes passed over her and then settled on Xing Yuyang.
Mrs. Xing pretended to be calm, "Your Majesty, I wonder what happened?" She also suspected that Xing Yuyan had made a mistake, and it must be a big mistake.
"Please come in, Queen." Duanmu Chen looked calm.
Xing Yuyan quickly entered the door and followed two serious-looking nuns with her hands outstretched. They were faces that Mrs. Xing had never seen before.
Xing Yuyan was neatly dressed and had the same number of pearls and jade on her head, but her eyes were red and swollen and she had obviously cried. As soon as she entered the door and saw the Xing family, she burst into tears and said, "Grandma, save me..."
Mrs. Xing's heart skipped a beat when she heard Duanmu Chen say coldly, "Don't you even understand the rules, Queen?"
Xing Yuyan trembled and knelt down to salute Duanmu Chen, but was not called up after that.
"The queen told your family what you did?" Duanmu Chen said coldly.
Xing Yuyan glanced at Miao and Xing Yuyang subconsciously, "Your Majesty, my second brother has taken that medicine. It's really fine..."
When Old Mrs.
Xing Yusheng already wanted to kill someone. He knew that he could not write two characters of "Xing" in one stroke. Normally he could stay out of the matter, but if something happened, he would not be an outsider.
"Chang'an, tell the old lady what the queen did." Duanmu Chen did not look at Xing Yuyan again.
Chang'an looked serious and said, "Yes." Then he secretly brought Miao's medicine of unknown origin into the palace and gave it to Xing Yuyan.
The medicine was brought to the capital by Miao's natal family, and the relevant people have been arrested and sent to prison.
Finally, Chang'an said, "Last night, the emperor had a rash all over his body, and his condition was dangerous. Fortunately, Imperial Physician Su and Marquis Chang Xin entered the palace in time to treat the emperor, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous."
Mrs. Xing was sweating, and she couldn't sit still after listening to it. She stood up and knelt down again. Lin Xueqing silently knelt beside Mrs. Xing, holding her up with one hand, fearing that she would faint.
After Chang An finished speaking, he could only hear Xing Yuyan's crying voice, saying that she really didn't mean to do it, she didn't know it would be like this, she just wanted to give birth to a dragon seed for the emperor as soon as possible.
Duanmu Chen looked at Old Mrs.
This was to explain to Su Liang why he did not inform the Xing family immediately.
Mrs. Xing said in a deep voice, "This matter has nothing to do with Su Liang. It is all the misfortune of my Xing family. I beg the emperor to treat my son leniently for the sake of his loyalty."
It is impossible for Duanmu Chen not to be punished. In the past, Duanmu Chen revealed important information to the Xing family and saved the Xing family once because of Su Liang's face, but he was the prince at that time and is now the emperor.
The behavior of Miao and Xing Yuyan, if she were not the queen, and Duanmu Chen had to use Xing Ji instead, it would be easy to kill the whole family, and it would be possible to kill the nine tribes.
Yesterday, I learned from Su Liang what Miao and Xing Yuyang were doing behind the scenes. Mrs. Xing still thought that peace was the most important thing, and even thought that Miss Miao was already Xing Yuyang's and was pregnant with his child.
, you must be responsible after all.
When Mrs. Xing let the Miao family in, she had the same mentality. Since Xing Ji's wife Qin Yuan insisted on doing so, Mrs. Xing would admit it even if she knew that Xing Ji was being plotted by the Miao family.
But at this moment, Mrs. Xing was completely disappointed with everyone related to the Miao family. She regretted it more and more. She should have been cruel and determined not to let the Miao family enter the Xing family! Marry a wife and marry a virtuous woman.
, if we continue to act improperly, the Xing family will be destroyed by these scourges named Miao!
You know, Mrs. Xing told Su Liang the day before yesterday that the emperor treated Xing Yuyan very well. This is true. Duanmu Chen was extremely benevolent and righteous to the Xing family because of Xing Ji's strength on the one hand and Su Liang's face on the other. Xing Yuyan
Being in the midst of blessings and not knowing about them is so stupid!
When Duanmu Chen was the prince, he had several concubines serving him, but no one ever gave birth to a son for him. Don't Miao and Xing Yuyan know why? That was Duanmu Chen's intention, he wanted to make his first wife his wife
The legitimate son of the husband, to avoid the situation where the eldest son is born a concubine!
Therefore, as long as Xing Yuyan stays calm and has no health problems, she will definitely give birth to the eldest prince of Qian Kingdom.
Mrs. Xing mentioned this matter to Mrs. Miao and Xing Yuyan, but because she was in the palace, she didn't dare to explain it too clearly. I don't know if they were too stupid to understand or if they understood, they just refused to settle down.
!
"Since the loyal and trustworthy Marquis is guarding the border, I will not depose the queen." Duanmu Chen finished speaking, and Xing Yuyan looked happy.
Mrs. Miao breathed a sigh of relief, but then heard Duanmu Chen continue, "However, those who instigated the Queen to drug me must be dealt with severely."
Miao's face froze, "Your Majesty... I have good intentions!"
Xing Yuyan also begged for mercy for her mother, "Please forgive my mother, she is really kind!"
Duanmu Chen's face turned cold, "Shut up! If anyone feels that my punishment is too severe and dares to plead for mercy again, he will be punished with the same crime!"
Xing Yuyan's expression froze and she did not dare to speak.
Mrs. Miao knelt down beside Old Mrs.
"Here comes someone." Duanmu Chen said.
The old eunuch came in carrying a tray with a pot and a cup on it. Anyone who wasn't a fool would know what was in it.
Mrs. Miao burst into tears, Duanmu Chen got up and walked out, "Don't worry, wait until Mrs. Xing is ready before sending her on her way."
The words left the palace and the door was closed from the outside. Inside were only the Xing family and the old eunuch who brought the poisoned wine.
Xing Yusheng helped Mrs. Xing and Lin Xueqing up, asked them to sit down, turned around and kicked Xing Yuyang hard, "You did a good job!"
It seemed that Duanmu Chen showed no mercy at all and wanted to execute Xing Ji's wife, but in fact he still showed mercy. People named Miao didn't want to live, and people named Xing were fine.
Old Mrs.
Xing Yuyang grabbed Xing Yusheng's leg, looking flustered, "Brother! Go find Su Liang! As long as she pleads with the emperor, the emperor will definitely let my mother go!"
Xing Yusheng kicked Xing Yuyang away and said coldly, "It's useless to look for anyone, even if dad is here! Didn't you hear the emperor say, Su Liang is not allowed to interfere! The emperor didn't kill you and Xing Yuyan together, it's already...
What a great grace!”
Lin Xueqing held Old Mrs.
When doing this kind of thing, it is said that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger, so you need to be careful. Miao and Xing Yuyan are not good at it, they are lawless!
Xing Yusheng ignored them and sat down next to Mrs. Xing, "Grandma, now that the matter has come to this, the emperor is extremely gracious."
"I know..." Mrs. Xing sighed deeply, "I'm just worried about your father. If he finds out, he will be very sad."
After all, she was Xing Ji's wife. Even if she made a mistake, Xing Ji would blame himself for not managing the family well.
"Dad will figure it out." Xing Yusheng is not very worried about this. The shrewdest person in the Xing family is Xing Ji, but from another perspective, he is also the most confused. He can always handle the serious matters outside very well, but
Things at home are always not handled well. If the door is always closed, it will be just a family matter, but this time, some people's hands are stretched too long.
Xing Yusheng looked at Miao who was about to be executed and felt nothing. This was his stepmother and the person he had hated the most since he was a child. He had never had any feelings for her.
If virtue is not matched, there will be disaster. Xing Yusheng suddenly thought of what his father-in-law Lin Shuzhi had said to him before, and he was talking about Xing Yuyan. Lin Shuzhi meant that the Xing family must restrain Xing Yuyan, and did not ask her to help her natal family, only ask her
Stay calm and don't cause trouble.
This is what Mrs. Xing did, but she never imagined that some people would be so bold as to be crazy...
…
Su Mansion.
Qi Jun was reporting news about the Xing family to Su Liang, "It was said that the queen was ill, and the emperor specifically allowed the family to visit the palace. Mrs. Xing went there in a fit of rage."
Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "Dead?"
Qi Jun nodded, "Yes. The Xing family has left the palace and returned home, and is preparing for the funeral."
"Where are the others?" Su Liang asked.
Qi Jun shook his head, "Everyone else should be fine. Oh, by the way, when my subordinates came back, they took a detour to the place where Mr. Xing hid his beauty. There was no one there."
"I understand. Just go and say that I asked you to visit Mrs. Xing's body and send this box of soothing incense." Su Liang ordered, "Ask if you need me to go there."
Qi Jun understood and went to Xing's house.
Su Liang sighed and looked at Gu Ling who was making medicine at the side, "I didn't expect that the emperor would execute Xing Yuyan's mother. But having said that, when it comes to drugging the emperor, killing someone is not too much."
As for the missing Miss Miao, Su Liang felt that the situation was in danger.
Xing Yuyan's future life will never be as easy as before, even if the position of queen is still hers.
Duanmu Chen seems gentle, but his gentleness is only given to useful people. Even if Xing Ji returns to Beijing, he must be grateful to Duanmu Chen for not executing his children.
Qi Jun came back soon and said that Mrs. Xing didn't look well but was fine, so he told her not to go.
In addition, Mrs. Xing also asked Qi Jun to tell Su Liang that she planned to cancel Xing Yuyang's marriage in the near future, and on the grounds that he had to observe filial piety for three years, let the lady of the Ministry of Civil Affairs choose another good son-in-law.
Su Liang felt that this was fine. Xing Yuyang was the one who made the mistake, and he also plotted against his fiancée, which was different from the original engagement. Mrs. Xing did this not to delay the lady of Shangshu Mansion, but also to punish Xing Yuyang.
.
…
Xuanbei City.
Xing Ji didn't know that something was going on at home in the capital. He was entertaining a bride-to-be team from Liang Kingdom. The leader was an acquaintance, the former Chen Yun, now the second prince of Liang Kingdom, Situ Jing.
The escorting team will stay one night in Xuanbei City and set off again tomorrow.
Xing Ji had a business-like attitude and did not show any special emotions towards Situ Jing.
It was late at night, and Xing Ji and Qi Jiang were drinking and chatting under the moonlight. The two had been friends for most of their lives, and Qi Jiang spent more time with Xing Ji than his wife and children.
"Master Marquis, the second prince of Liang Kingdom is here." Someone reported.
Xing Ji looked up and saw Situ Jing standing at the entrance of the courtyard, holding a jar of wine in his hand. He always had a big beard when he pretended to be Chen Yun, but now that he has no beard, he looks much younger and fresher, and he is also a handsome man.
But no matter how Xing Ji looked at him, he would never be pleasing to his eyes.
Situ Jing came in and said, "I'm here to have a drink with Mr. Hou."
Qi Jiang stood up, glanced at Situ Jing coldly, and stood aside without going out.
Situ Jing sat down and poured wine for Xing Ji, "This is the royal wine of the Liang Kingdom. Please try it, Lord Marquis."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to enjoy such precious things." Xing Ji's attitude was cold.
Situ Jing smiled, raised his glass, and drank it himself, "When I come back here, I feel like I'm going home."
After hearing this, Xing Ji wanted to beat him.
"Actually, it's nothing." Situ Jing said to Xing Ji, "It's just that I thought that the Marquis must be homesick. If there are letters or other objects, I can help the Marquis take them to the capital along the way."
Xing Ji shook his head, "No need."
"One more thing." Situ Jing raised his glass again, "I want to thank Mr. Hou for his care and support for me in the past."
Xing Ji grabbed the filled wine glass in front of him and splashed it in Situ Jing's face, "You're welcome!"
Situ Jing wiped the drink on his face with his hand, and his smile deepened, "I deserve it. Even if the Marquis chops me, I still deserve it."
Qi Jiang drew his sword and handed it to Xing Ji.
Xing Ji actually accepted it, pointing his knife at Situ Jing, "Choose a position."
Situ Jing stretched out a finger and tapped his forehead, "Here."
Xing Ji snorted coldly, swung his knife and cut off a strand of hair on Situ Jing's forehead, "Second Prince Situ, please come back." He could see that Situ Jing had drunk a lot of wine before he came and was a bit drunk.
Situ Jing picked up the hair that fell on the table, slowly wrapped it around his finger, and smiled to himself, "If Mr. Hou really cuts me, I will be very happy. But you are just like Su Liang, you are not a little bit
They are not willing to give me another chance."
"No need to say such nonsense, it seems that Su Liang forced you to become the second prince of Liang Kingdom." Xing Ji said coldly.
Situ Jing nodded and said with a half-smile, "She and Gu Ling really forced me. As long as they are willing to accept me, I will not go to Liang Kingdom." After saying that, he turned around and left, slowly walking out.
When he arrived at the gate of the hospital, Situ Jing turned around again, "It would be great if I were your son. This is what I have wanted to say, and I finally said it today. I want to ask Mr. Hou something, if your family did
Will you protect them when they do something outrageous, or will you make them pay the price, even with your life?"
Xing Ji frowned, "No matter who you are, you must take responsibility for what you do."
Situ Jing chuckled, "Okay. Then I wish the Marquis and your family will never make mistakes. And Su Liang and Gu Ling. I want to know even more, if Gu Ling makes a mistake, Su Liang will abandon him."
