After the rebirth of the Marquis's mistress, she smiled at the scumbag's family

"Tell the Queen to take a good rest for a while. The Queen Mother will take charge of the palace affairs, and the Concubine Shu and the Concubine Xian will assist her."

Emperor Xuanwen simply gave a faint instruction and sent the palace maid away.

Xiao Yunxi and Xiao Jingchen looked at each other. Seeing their uncle the emperor like this, the queen might find it difficult to hold power in the future.

The emperor hated the unclear entanglement between the harem and the previous dynasty the most. Not long after they arrived at the imperial study, the empress got the news... This is Emperor Xuanwen's territory!

This was not the first time that the Queen had crossed Emperor Xuanwen's bottom line.

Live it!

"Mr. Lu is old now, so you should stay in the capital to enjoy your retirement. The military affairs can be left to the Prince of Zhennan to handle."

Seeing that the old prince was about to speak, Emperor Xuanwen waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Lu Qing. I will send someone to assist the Prince of Zhennan.

As for Lu Jingting and that guy...the death penalty will be temporarily spared, but the crime of living cannot be forgiven. Everything will be handled by Princess Changle. All of you can leave."

"Li Jingzhong," Emperor Xuanwen looked at Xiao Yunxi, "go and take that cowhide purple vine whip to Princess Changle.

From now on, this whip will be the same as your mother's. No matter if they are royal relatives or common people, anyone who is immoral and lawless can be beaten to death without guilt!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Yunxi happily took the whip and glanced at Lu Jingting coldly.

In the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, Lu Guifang's legs were numb from kneeling for so long.

She glanced at the old lady and muttered softly, "Why haven't you come back yet? My legs hurt so much!"

Ruan couldn't stand it anymore, "Madam, how long do we have to kneel down?"

Hongyu quietly handed a piece of dessert to Cuiwei who was kneeling beside her, and said softly: "Eat something, or you won't be able to hold on."

Cuiwei accepted it without leaving any trace and ate it secretly.

Lu Zhan knelt straight, staring at the door, worrying about why his mother hadn't come back yet, when he felt someone gently tugging at his sleeve. He looked down and saw a piece of dessert.

He looked along his arm and Hongyu told him with her mouth to eat it quickly.

His stomach had already been rumbling, so Lu Zhan nodded slightly to express his gratitude, took the snack and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowing it in no time.

Just as a group of people were waiting anxiously, they saw the old prince leading the way in.

"Master, you are finally back."

The old lady could no longer hold on and was about to fall down.

The old prince hurried forward to help the old lady up, "Everyone, get up."

Xiao Yunxi glanced at Lu Zhan, walked up to him and unnoticeably wiped the snack crumbs off his cheek with a handkerchief, then looked at Hongyu and Cuiwei, and seeing that they were all fine, she felt relieved and walked to a chair nearby and sat down.

A hint of displeasure flashed across the old prince's face, but when he thought of the emperor's attitude, his eyes darkened.

"Princess, it was me who asked His Majesty for this marriage.

Jingting was young and naive, and left behind a lot of romantic stories. The Zhennan Palace is indeed sorry for you.

But as long as you are married, you will be grateful to each other for a hundred days. I still hope that you can live a good life with Jingting."

Xiao Yunxi sneered, "Your Highness, you are wrong. His Majesty has just said that the Zhennan Palace deceived the emperor and deceived the emperor to get the marriage. It was only because of the red book and iron certificate given by the emperor that the crime of killing all the nine clans was exempted.

How come it seems like Lu Jingting and I are just playing tricks on each other when it comes to you? "

Her mother even whipped the empress, and her uncle the emperor also whipped her, and you, an old man, still want to smooth things over?

The old prince heard Xiao Yunxi's dissatisfaction and slowed down his tone, "Grandfather knows that you have been wronged. His Majesty just said that Jingting and Lin are both left to you to deal with. I will never say no!

Everyone makes mistakes, but being able to admit one’s mistakes and correct them is the greatest virtue!

Jingting was indeed wrong, but now he knows he was wrong and is working hard to change. I hope you can let bygones be bygones and give him a chance!"

Xiao Yunxi curled her lips, "Why? If the old lady had an affair and gave birth to a nominal son for you, as long as she admitted her mistake to you, would you not pursue it?

If the knife didn't fall on you, you wouldn't feel the pain!"

"Xiao Yunxi!" Lu Guifang jumped out immediately, "Even if you are a princess, you can't be so rude to your grandfather! Do you know what filial piety is?!"

"Pop!" "Pap!" "Pap!"

Xiao Yunxi whipped Lu Guifang several times in a row, making her scream like a ghost.

"It's not your turn to speak here!" Xiao Yunxi said coldly, "Before you were the eldest lady of the Dong family, you were considered a guest, and I gave you some leeway. Now you are just a divorced bastard who went home, and you still dare to be so arrogant!

I am still the Crown Prince's Consort of the Zhennan Palace. You will have to make a living under my command in the future, so you'd better be sensible!"

Seeing Lu Guifang glaring at her, she said, "Xia He, dig her eyes out for me!"

"Yes, county lord."

Xia He drew out the dagger and walked towards Lu Guifang.

"Princess, wait a minute!"

Seeing that Xiao Yunxi didn't seem to be joking, the old prince quickly said, "Fang'er is wrong, but she was just divorced and is in a bad mood. I hope the princess will forgive her."

"Old Prince, you said that as if she was divorced and blamed me!"

Xiao Yunxi sat back on the chair, "She was divorced by the Dong family because she was immoral and jealous. In the final analysis, it was because of the bad family tradition of your Zhennan Palace that your grandson had a concubine's son or daughter before marriage, and then your granddaughter was divorced by her husband's family!

It is not my job to forgive her for her bad mouth, what I have to do is to punish her for her rebellion!"

Lu Guifang was really scared now. She waved her arms to stop Xia He from getting closer. "I haven't been divorced yet. The Dong family hasn't sent me the divorce letter yet."

Hearing this, Ruan hurried over and stood in front of Xia He.

Seeing the gleaming dagger, she swallowed nervously, "Fang'er is right, she hasn't been divorced yet."

Xiao Yunxi smiled, "That's true. Since we are still guests, we really can't dig out our eyes!"

Lu Guifang and Ruan both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xia He, cut off one of her fingers as a punishment and teach her the difference between respect and inferiority!"

"Bah!"

"what!"

Lu Guifang cried out while covering her thumb which was broken by Xia He. Ruan was so distressed that she didn't know what to do.

"Madame Li, take the princess and the eldest lady down to rest."

The old prince still felt sorry for his only granddaughter. He was afraid that she would say something else that would completely annoy Xiao Yunxi, so he had to send her away.

However, he was also annoyed by Xiao Yunxi's ruthlessness, and said coldly: "The princess has vented her anger, so let it go.

As for Lin, she is pregnant after all, why not wait until she gives birth to the child before dealing with her."

Xiao Yunxi frowned, "Old Lord, have you forgotten what the prince said in the Imperial Study? This child..."

"This child belongs to Jingting!"

The old prince glared fiercely at Lu Jingting who was about to speak.

Lu Jingting's face was pale. He lowered his head and looked at his fists that were trembling slightly on his knees. For a moment, his throat was blocked and he felt a fishy sweetness on the tip of his tongue.

His grandfather had already said this, what else could he say?

Lin Wan'er lowered her head, making it impossible to see her expression.

The old lady was also very surprised when she heard that Lin Wan'er was pregnant, but looking at the reactions of several people...

Could it be that this child is not Jing Ting's? !
