The blackened marquis insists that the husband should be more valuable than the son!

Xue Mingyue looked at Emperor Jingping's slightly changed expression and laughed in her heart.

She thought about it for a long time on the way, but still felt that this was an unreasonable disaster. She was prompted by Emperor Jingping, so she stayed to cover Xie Lang who was taking Tang Kun and others to Beijing. This was what he asked her to do.

If Xie Lang hadn't arranged for enough people around her, Ling Su would have arrived in time.

Either she was killed by an assassin; or she was kidnapped by Xiao Duo's people and used to threaten Xie Lang to let Tang Kun go. Either way, she would be harmed, and this would be an unforeseen disaster for her.

It was clear that Xiao Duo had been demoted to a commoner, but when she still called Xiao Duo the title of second prince, Emperor Jingping did not stop her.

In Emperor Jingping's eyes, she was nothing at all.

Even if she almost died because of him, even if she died, she would be no better than an ant. At most, she would have to worry about appeasing Xie Lang.

Xue Mingyue suddenly became angry.

She knew she shouldn't, but she just felt angry and dissatisfied. Why?

Why should she die because of him?

Did Emperor Jingping not know that she would encounter temptations and dangers if she was left alone in the paddock? At most, I didn't expect that the second prince would be the one to take action.

Even though Xue Mingyue has been staying in the suburbs of Beijing these days, she still has eyes and ears in the capital. She knows very well that when Xie Lang first came forward with evidence to testify, Emperor Jingping did not punish the second prince at all.

There was even an incident where Xie Lang stood alone at the door of the Second Prince's Mansion.

Even so, Emperor Jingping only thought about trivial matters.

The more he was so understated and the more condescending he was, the more dissatisfied Xue Mingyue became.

She couldn't explain why she was dissatisfied, but she just didn't want this matter to go away like this. Why could Emperor Jingping test her and Xie Lang like this?

Xue Mingyue looked at the emperor sitting on the dragon throne with red eyes, knelt down without hesitation, showing an expression of suppressed grievance and indignation, and spoke plausibly:

"After knowing that the murderer behind the scenes was the second prince, my wife understood why he did this: the second prince must have wanted to use me to coerce the marquis into interrogating General Tang half-heartedly, and to make the marquis fall into disloyalty to your majesty. A state of injustice!”

"The Dingyuan Marquis Mansion is full of loyal people. If my wife had known that it was the second prince who had done this, she would have died early."

She folded her hands on the ground and tapped her forehead on the back of her hands.

Xie Lang failed to stop her from kneeling, and his face suddenly darkened. His dark eyes were very cold. He directly lifted the corner of his robe and knelt beside her: "I only know that there is such an inside story in this. What Xiao Duo did was to force him to rebel."

Emperor Jingping's face was also ugly.

He firmly grasped the dragon head on the armrest of the dragon chair and sneered at the couple kneeling underneath.

I see you are forcing me now!

Anger appeared on the face that had recently shown an old and tired look, and it was difficult to calm down, but he quickly suppressed it. The more angry and aggrieved they were, the more it proved that this matter was true.

There was dead silence in the entire hall.

Emperor Jingping's expression was uncertain.

After a long while, he took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "I know that Madam Dingyuan Hou, you have been wronged during this time. That evil son, I have demoted him to a commoner and is still in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. "

"I will now issue an edict to designate you as Madam Gaoming, and you can rest peacefully at home to recuperate."

The implication is that enough is enough for you.

He made a mistake and I have already punished him. If you continue to force me to do this, I will not let you go easily.

Xue Mingyue secretly pursed her lips and cursed in her heart.

He accepted it as he saw fit, kowtowed in a polite manner, and cried with joy: "I thank you, your majesty. Your majesty is wise."

"Your Majesty, my wife was in danger because she was working for your Majesty. You see..."

Xie Lang suddenly spoke.

Emperor Jingping laughed angrily and waved his hands angrily: "Do you still need to say it? No one will miss you and your husband's reward. Just go back to your house and wait."

Xie Lang said quietly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

After saying this, he pulled Xue Mingyue to stand up, and once again cupped his hands and said: "If your Majesty has nothing important to do, I will take my wife back to the house. She was not in good health to begin with, and she was even more frightened this time." It’s like returning home like an arrow.”

Xue Mingyue: "..." No, she didn't.

"Go, go, you can stay at home with my wife for these two days."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."

Emperor Jingping waved his hand out of sight and out of mind.

After this incident, he had no intention of asking Xue Mingyue to go to the queen again. He just wanted the two of them to disappear from his eyes as soon as possible.

Liu Baoquan immediately walked up to the two of them knowingly and said softly: "Master Xie, Mrs. Xie, please go this way."

Xue Mingyue had no choice but to restrain her exposed emotions and let Xie Lang hold her half-armed as she walked out. After she left the palace gate and returned to the carriage, she immediately broke away from his hand and sat far away from him.

Xie Lang sighed regretfully.

Not long ago, His Majesty's Leng Rui, who dared to confront each other in the main hall, seemed to turn into a warm spring breeze.

Seeing that her face was full of vigilance, he had no choice but to raise another topic: "Your Majesty should now be convinced that you are imprisoned."

Xue Mingyue chuckled: "I did it so fiercely, it would be strange if he still doesn't believe it."

She paused for a moment, then suddenly looked up at him and said plausibly: "When the reward comes, remember to give me my part, and don't confuse it with the one given to the Hou Mansion."

"..."

Xie Lang laughed: "I'll give you all the rewards."

Xue Mingyue pouted: "Don't forget that we want to reconcile. It's better to separate the money as soon as possible."

"What if I want to give them all to you?"

"After all, when you're chasing someone, it's normal to want to spend money on the person you're chasing, right?" Long tail sound.

This glance turned the already not spacious carriage into one full of ambiguity.

Xue Mingyue blocked her body with her arms, and said with a stern face: "The person being chased naturally has his reasons for not accepting it. You'd better stop thinking about it. I won't stay in the Hou Mansion for any longer."

Xie Lang rolled his eyes slightly, but did not agree to this.

Instead, he smiled and changed the subject: "Do you want to know why Xiao Duo was deposed?"

Xue Mingyue looked at him warily, feeling a little itchy after hearing this. It was a lie to say that she didn't want to know. She thought for a while and asked: "If the courtiers all know, then I also want to know."

Xie Lang raised his eyebrows in amusement.

"Because he was related to the accidental death of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Although so many years have passed, if you are willing to investigate, you can still find out something. After Tang Kun was arrested and imprisoned, someone was so frightened that they confessed during the interrogation that he conspired with others to kill the prince."

Xue Mingyue opened her eyes wide in shock.
