The king was wrong

"What, you said that Qi Simin got out of the sedan chair by herself and made a scene in front of Prince Yong's mansion? She thinks the prince is being stupid!"

Zhao's eyes were as big as copper bells, staring at the kneeling servant, and asked angrily.

"Back... to Ma'am, the second miss has indeed got off the sedan chair, and she is arguing at the gate of Prince Yong's mansion, saying that the prince betrayed her, and that the prince must give her an answer..." The boy was startled by her fierce tone, Swallowing his saliva, he replied timidly.

"It's against her!"

Mrs. Zhao slapped the table with a slap, her face flushed with anger, "She was clearly told not to get out of the sedan chair, but she was obsessed with ghosts! You know it's embarrassing! Now, the Duke's mansion I have lost all face, if the master asks me how to answer, huh?"

She has always deliberately put on a humble and noble image on weekdays. Few people have seen her cunning expression in private, but now she is suddenly furious, that appearance is really terrifying.

Ke Shi, who was standing aside, swallowed, feeling extremely anxious.My daughter didn't know how to think about it, and actually got out of the sedan chair to show her face. You must know that although the folk customs are open in the Lan Dynasty, most of the things that chase people to the door and ask them to be responsible for themselves are mostly done by ignorant and small households. Yes, she, Qi Simin, is a person who has gone out of the Duke's Mansion, and she is indeed smearing herself and the Duke's Mansion by doing so.

Especially her brother in name is sitting in the palace...

Ke Shi wiped the sweat from her forehead, and although she was terrified of Zhao Shi in her heart, she held back her scalp and defended her daughter: "Madam can't say that, Simin must be in a hurry, so she lost her sense of justice. How about if we send someone to call her back?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhao snorted coldly and glared over, "Call me back? What's the use of calling me back at this time, she has already lost all the people she should have lost! Originally, she sat peacefully in the palace and waited for the palace to welcome her. There's nothing wrong with going in, but she's fine, so what's the point of shouting out if there's nothing to do, lest people in the capital don't know her, don't they know that she is the Duke's daughter? Idiot, what an idiot!"

After scolding Qi Simin, Mrs. Zhao still didn't feel satisfied, so she pointed at Mrs. Ke and continued to scold: "And you, a mother, have no brains. You won't listen to a word she tells you. If the Duke's mansion really falls on you this time Ladies and gentlemen, let's see how the master can kill you!"

Her voice was already sharp, but now it was full of anger and it was even harsher. Ke Shi was scolded by her and only dared to bow his head and shed tears, and his heart was also worried.

Originally, Mrs. Zhao got the empress's will and tried to get Qi Simin to enter the gate of Prince Yong's Mansion. As long as he entered the gate, the future would be smooth sailing.However, Prince Yong dismissed all the concubines not long ago, and even announced to the outside world that only the concubine is the only one in this life, and if he doesn't take concubines, it will be very worrying for Zhao and Ke.

Mrs. Zhao has always been ruthless, so she came up with an idea when she saw this situation, she simply let Qi Simin go to Prince Yong's mansion quietly in a sedan chair, and tried to get the prince to come out to greet her in person.

As soon as the prince goes out, Qi Simin gets off the sedan chair, puts his hand on his hand, shed a little tears and said some grievances, in the eyes of the people in the capital, the matter will be considered a success.After all, the prince even took the girl's hand without hesitation, so it's related!

Of course, Mrs. Zhao also knew that with Wei Yanxi's haughty temperament, the chance of coming out in person was not high, so she left a trick to let those attendants who followed to watch the time, if they waited for an hour In the future, there was still no one to answer, so I went to talk to the people in the palace and asked them to put the sedan chair in first.

In this way, although people passing by can't see the lord's contact with Qi Simin with their own eyes, at least they have entered the door, right?Everyone has entered the gate of the palace, and it will not be easy to drive them out. At that time, even if the prince gets angry again, he will have nothing to do, so he can only obediently accept Qi Simin as a concubine.After all, the reputation of the daughter's family cannot be faked. No matter how powerful he is on the battlefield, Prince Yong is just an individual, and he is no match for the people in the capital.

It's just that Mrs. Zhao is also very clear that Qi Simin can't get out of the sedan chair at will because her daughter's family's reputation cannot be faked. Otherwise, if she doesn't see the prince and doesn't enter the palace, she will be criticized by everyone instead of Sympathy.After all, in Kyoto and even in the entire Lan Dynasty, no daughter would show up in front of her husband's house by herself, pointing out that she wanted her to marry her.

Zhao Shi was afraid that Qi Simin was not smart enough, so she asked Ke Shi to tell her before she went out, and she told her again, telling her not to get out of the sedan chair when she didn't see the prince. Fools still do stupid things!

Zhao Shiqi's heart hurts, but she really doesn't worry about Qi Simin's boudoir reputation, after all, she is not her own daughter, and it has nothing to do with her whether her life will be good or bad in the future.She was so angry that Qi Simin didn't listen to her, acted recklessly, and ruined her own reputation. In this way, the reputation of Duke Shengguo's mansion was also taken into account. I'm afraid there will be rumors on the street tomorrow that the Duke of Shengguo's mansion The young lady is so indiscreet, she even has the guts to run to the gate of Prince Yong's mansion to make a scene and make a scene.

The key point was that this matter was carried out without telling Qi Xiaosu. When he thought of Qi Xiaosu hearing rumors all over the street when he came back, Zhao felt a headache.

"Then...then what should we do, ma'am, we can't just watch Simin ruin our reputation like this, she will marry in the future, if she has to marry Prince Yong, change to someone more ordinary and willing to make progress." That's fine, as long as I can treat her well, I'm satisfied."

To put it bluntly, Ke Shi is a cat in tiger skin. Although she usually has sharp teeth and sharp mouth, she has no opinions at all when encountering major events, so she can only wait dryly for Zhao Shi to come up with an idea.

But at this moment, Mrs. Zhao is only thinking about self-protection, so she doesn't have the heart to care about Qi Simin's life, so she waved her hand impatiently, and asked the young man to bring him back and lock him in the courtyard until the master comes back. Dispose of again.Then, while sending someone to report to the queen in the palace, he was planning the words to explain to Qi Xiaosu later.

She originally thought that no matter how bad the matter was, the queen would take care of it, but she asked Qi Songjin to find a way to persuade the emperor to give Qi Simin to King Yong directly in the next decree. After all, she is pregnant now, and the emperor has always pampered her. Bound to nod.

Although it is a bit embarrassing to do so, it will not threaten the reputation of the Duke's Mansion. It can barely suppress the matter. Who would have thought that the person who sent the message had gone for two days before bringing back a news that shocked the government and the public——

The queen was accused of collaborating with the enemy and traitorous to the country, and has already been confined by the emperor in Fenglai Palace!

"What, grounded?"

When Wei Yanxi came back from the morning court and brought back the news, Qi Yaoqing was arranging the bookshelves in the study. When he heard the news, his hands trembled, and a heavy book fell directly from the shelf. He pulled it into his arms, afraid that his head would be smashed out right now.

"Oh, be careful, isn't it the empress who has been grounded? You have never had much contact with her, and now you have left the Duke's mansion to marry me as the princess. Her life has nothing to do with you."

Wei Yanxi was not satisfied with Qi Songjin's attitude towards Qi Yaoqing, but now she is quite happy to see her grounded.He rubbed Qi Yaoqing's forehead with lingering fear, afraid that he would still be knocked down, but Qi Yaoqing was numbly held in his arms, and his brows furrowed involuntarily——

Shouldn't it be collaborating with the enemy and treason?How could Qi Songjin collude with the enemy and treason?

Although Qi Songjin did not do many good things since ascending to the throne, and she often tried to interfere in the previous court, and her reputation among the subjects was not good, but she was a woman no matter what, and she must have some small ambitions, If you want to say that she is collaborating with the enemy and treason...

Qi Yaoqing shook his head, he didn't think Qi Songjin would do such a thing.

Moreover, the emperor's decree was too sudden, without any warning, his heart was pounding, and he had a vague bad feeling——

What kind of medicine is sold in the emperor's gourd?

"My lord, what's going on here? Why was Qi Songjin suddenly accused of collaborating with the enemy and treason? I don't think...she should be someone who would do such a thing."

Wei Yanxi looked at the frown of the man in his arms with some distress, and stretched out his hand to smooth the wrinkles between his brows, but found that the man was really anxious, those wrinkles were not smoothed out, and there was a feeling of getting worse, I could only sigh helplessly.

"Knowing people, knowing the face, not knowing the heart, since they said so, there should be full evidence. This is the first time I heard of this today, and I don't know it very well. I usually only care about the border wars, about the capital and the palace. Trivial matters have always been ignored. Brother Huang has a lot of experts under his command, and the newly appointed Minister of Dali Temple is not a good friend. They suddenly jumped out and pointed out that they must have found something wrong with Qi Songjin. With confidence."

Wei Yanxi's words are indeed true. He has 30 soldiers in his hand, and he has always only cared about the frontier wars. The intrigues in the palace are too complicated and dark, and he has neither the time nor the interest to take care of them.

However, Wei Yanxi did not expect to point the finger at the queen this time. After all, judging from the folk rumors and the facts in their eyes, Wei Chengtian really doted on Qi Songjin, and even willingly delegated power to her. Even if she intervenes, she doesn't care, as if she is deliberately cultivating her ambition.

Wait, specially cultivated her ambition...

Thinking of this, Wei Yanxi couldn't help but frowned, as if she had thought of something.

Suddenly, what Ji Hong said to him in front of the Chongming Palace a few months ago, when he rushed to the palace with a murderous look and wanted to question why the emperor brother gave him a man wife out of nowhere, came to his mind.

Ji Hong said at the time: "The Holy One said that you have been wronged in the matter of giving the marriage, but one day he will give you an explanation, and he will not teach you that today's sacrifice was in vain!"

One day he will give you an explanation, and he will teach you that today's sacrifice was in vain...

Wei Yanxi subconsciously lowered her head to look at Qi Yaoqing who was quietly nestled in his arms thinking about her thoughts, a bad premonition floated in her heart, could this be... what the emperor brother gave him?
