After being reborn with Sister Zha, I was stunned!

Chapter 197 Taking the overall situation into consideration

Prince An pulled Qin Zhihao and begged Shen Qingyin and Madam Mu.

Originally he thought that His Majesty would be furious and punish him severely.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty looked calm and did not say a word of blame. He just said that he wanted to hear what Madam Mu and the General's wife thought.

Isn't it obvious that he wants to protect his son?

Yes, his son is the emperor's nephew. It's not surprising that the emperor, who has no children, would protect his nephew...

Next, as long as he persuaded the grandfather and grandson to give in, the emperor would surely give them a lighter sentence.

Speaking privately, it is definitely not possible.

But it’s a different matter in front of the emperor.

He was a prince, yet he begged his subjects humbly and gave them enough face.

Don’t they know how to give face to the Emperor?

In other words, don’t they understand what the emperor means?

"Madam, General's wife, Hao'er is still young and acts impulsively. I will discipline him strictly in the future and will never allow him to do such foolish things again. I hope you two can show leniency and give him a chance to correct his mistakes!" Prince An continued to plead.

However, after talking back and forth for a long time, Madam Mu and Shen Qingyin still had cold faces and did not speak.

Upon seeing this, Prince An gritted his teeth and simply knelt down in front of the two men.

"If you still refuse to forgive Hao'er, I will kneel down and beg you!"

It is said that women are soft-hearted.

But the hearts of these two women are as hard as stone.

Or were they too stupid to see that the Holy Will intended to let his son go?

His lips were almost worn out, but the two of them didn't say a word. It was so abominable.

When Qin Zhihao heard Prince An say he wanted to kneel down, he immediately spoke out to stop him, "Father, you can't do that!"

In this world today, apart from the Queen Mother, the Emperor and the Empress, no one is qualified to make his father kneel down.

However, Prince An had made up his mind, and he really knelt down in front of Shen Qingyin and Madam Mu.

If the two women still refused to give in after this kneeling, the emperor would probably be angry with them for being ungrateful.

Sure enough, at the moment he knelt down, the Emperor who was sitting high on the dragon throne suddenly threw down a tea bowl, and it shattered right in front of several people.

"Enough!" His Majesty the Emperor was obviously extremely angry.

Prince An couldn't help feeling proud.

The emperor was indeed angry.

Next, even if the two women refused to give in, the emperor would certainly punish them leniently...

"What are you doing, my royal brother? Are you going to force these two to let your son go in front of me?" Emperor Qin Zhong asked sternly.

Prince An was stunned and couldn't react for a moment.

"Your Majesty, I, I have no intention of forcing them. I sincerely ask them..."

Qin Zhong snorted coldly: "Humph, sincere? Didn't you see that the two of them were forced to retreat again and again by you? How can you be sincere? You are clearly pretending to be sincere, but in fact you are forcing them. Do you think I can't see it?"

Upon hearing this, Prince An turned pale with fear and quickly turned around to kowtow to the emperor: "Your Majesty, please calm down. I know my crime and I will never do it again."

Qin Zhihao also pleaded: "Your Majesty, my father was just acting out of a fatherly heart and was in a moment of urgency... Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

This made Qin Zhong even more angry: "A loving father's heart? A moment of urgency? You and your son are considerate of each other, but you don't show any consideration for others!"

Seeing that nothing they said seemed right, the father and son could only bow their heads and shout, "I know my crime."

Qin Zhong ignored the two for a while, but ordered someone to bring chairs and asked the lady and Shen Qingyin to sit down.

After the two of them sat down, he said, "I could have dealt with them directly today, but I held back and asked you two to come here, not to force you to do anything, but to let you see how I make decisions for you. Unfortunately, someone misunderstood and thought they were smart, huh!"

Qin Huai and Qin Zhihao, who were kneeling on the ground, shuddered immediately.

I never expected that this is what the emperor meant!

After hearing this, the Madam stood up and took Shen Qingyin with her to express her gratitude: "I, Your Majesty, thank you for your grace."

She didn't understand what was happening in the hall at first, so she said nothing.

The same goes for Shen Qingyin.

Only now did I realize that the emperor was so thoughtful, and I couldn't help but be moved.

"You two just sit there and watch me make the decision for you," Qin Zhong said.

After that, he turned to Prince An and asked, "Brother, you allowed your son to attempt to murder the general's wife. Do you admit this crime?"

When Prince An heard this, his eyes turned dark, and he immediately broke out in a cold sweat and trembled all over.

He originally came with his son to confess the crime out of justice, but how come he actually let his son commit the crime now?

He kowtowed and said in defense, "Your Majesty, I did not condone my son's crime. I just, I just didn't notice it for a moment... I brought my son to the palace to apologize today, and I didn't want to condone him... Please understand, Your Majesty."

Qin Zhihao also had tears in his eyes and spoke for him: "Your Majesty, this is all my fault. My father has no idea about this... I am responsible for my own actions. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

"Everyone is responsible for their own actions!" Qin Zhong laughed in anger, "You are pretending to be a hero in front of me. Come, drag Qin Zhihao out and give him fifty strokes of the cane! If he is still breathing, drag him back in to await his punishment!"

Qin Zhihao's face turned pale and he slumped to the ground.

Fifty lashes is not a small number. If I were hit hard, I would probably be dead.

Even if there is air, I'm afraid it's just incoming air but not outgoing air...

Prince An also looked pale, his lips trembling, but he did not dare to open his mouth to plead for his son.

Just as the guards came in to drag the man away, Shen Qingyin stood up and took a step forward:

"Your Majesty, the general is at the front line, and Qin Zhihao, a relative of the royal family, is trying to murder me. If this matter were to get out, it would probably chill the soldiers at the front and affect the morale of the army. I beg Your Majesty to suppress this matter first, and deal with it later when the war is settled. As for Prince An, I believe he is unaware of it."

Qin Zhong was slightly startled when he heard this, and then his face became excited:

In fact, he also knew that Prince An was probably unaware of this.

If he had known, he would not be so stupid as to do nothing and let his son do such a ridiculous thing.

The reason why he said that was just to take the opportunity to teach Prince An a lesson and make him reflect on himself...

Unexpectedly, Shen Qingyin actually said directly that he believed this matter had nothing to do with Prince An, and did not randomly involve Prince An's Mansion out of anger. Even he, the emperor, would feel ashamed of his broad-mindedness.

What is even more commendable is that she can give priority to the war on the front line, which is difficult for ordinary women to do.

"She is so broad-minded and considers the overall situation. She is worthy of being the general's wife!" he praised sincerely.

Mrs. Mu, who was sitting nearby, nodded and praised after hearing this: "Yin Yin is right. She is more thoughtful than I am."

Qin Zhihao, who was already pale, turned his head in surprise.
