Dong Chengbin saw Lu Qingtang's face and glanced at the calm Emperor Kang Yuan. He immediately felt confused and said, "The villain has realized his mistake. It is because the villain has no eyesight. I will never dare to do it again!"
Emperor Kang Yuan glared at Dong Chengbin and winked at Lu Qingtang, indicating for her to continue.
Lu Qingtang coughed twice and continued: "Now that things have happened, you are not married and the princess is not married, so now we have to promote this marriage. Dong Chengbin, are you willing to marry the princess?"
There was no reason why Dong Chengbin was unwilling. Even though he kowtowed, before he could speak, he heard Mo Xinyuan's voice.
"Father, please take back your order. My daughter doesn't want to marry Dong Chengbin. My daughter loves Shui Yunxi. He is the one my daughter wants to marry." Mo Xinyuan said and started crying again.
Emperor Kang Yuan's fire that had been put out was now lit again by Mo Xinyuan. He picked up a pile of folds and threw them at Mo Xinyuan.
Upon seeing this, Concubine Ning quickly blocked her behind her, and with a crash, all the booklets fell on Concubine Ning.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, don't you know who Dong Chengbin is? Even if Yuan'er made a huge mistake, you can't punish her like this. She is your own flesh and blood!" Concubine Ning lay on the ground and cried.
After hearing this, Emperor Kang Yuan quickly stepped forward, picked up Concubine Ning from the ground, and glared at her, "Ning Suxin, I naturally know that this is my own flesh and blood, but in this situation, can you give me a better one?" How to deal with it? Is it possible that you want the Shui family to take the blame? Is the regent a vegetarian? Do you have any brains at all?"
As he spoke, Emperor Kang Yuan suddenly pushed Concubine Ning back, and Concubine Ning immediately lay on the ground with her arms and legs spread out.
Upon seeing this, Lu Qingtang immediately stepped forward and helped Concubine Ning up.
After all, she is her mother-in-law in name only, and she still has to act.
But who would have expected that Concubine Ning didn't appreciate it at all and actually pushed Lu Qingtang away, causing her to squat on her butt.
"I don't want you to show good intentions to me!" Concubine Ning glared at her fiercely.
Of course she knew who the hypocritical woman in front of her was, and she killed her son.
Her only son died in the hands of this woman, and she didn't have any evidence.
She hates it!
At this time, Emperor Kang Yuan was completely angry. He raised his palm and hit Concubine Ning on the face, "Ning Suxin, you are crazy!"
Lu Qingtang quickly got up and waved his hand: "Your Majesty, don't be angry. My daughter-in-law is fine. Eunuch Xu said that your body has just recovered and he has given you medicine in advance. Don't get angry."
Emperor Kang Yuan glared at Concubine Ning on the ground, waved his hand and said: "Sit down quickly, you don't look good. It's hard to take care of two children."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lu Qingtang said, continued to sit back down, and then sneered at Concubine Ning on the ground.
It was just a push, but he couldn't die.
And your daughter will be worse off than dead for the rest of her life!
"Dong Chengbin, I allow you to marry the princess. This is what you should do. But if you insult the princess, you will be exempted from death, but you will never escape the crime of living!" Emperor Kang Yuan's eyes were filled with coldness. "Someone, drag Dong Chengbin down and hold the cane for thirty years."
Dong Chengbin's face suddenly turned pale, and he lay on the ground shaking like chaff, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Eunuch Xu took two young eunuchs and dragged him out, just like dragging away a dead dog.
But after beating Dong Chengbin, Emperor Kang Yuan was still upset.
He looked at Concubine Ning and Mo Xinyuan with cold eyes and said angrily: "I really don't know what rules you, mother and daughter, have learned in the palace, and you have learned it like this. Is the nun of Qingquan Palace dead?"
As soon as these words came out, Eunuch Xu understood the meaning.
The nun who taught you was already dead at this time.
"Back to Your Majesty, I will send people to search Qingquan Palace right now. I will definitely give Your Majesty a satisfactory answer." Eunuch Xu bowed.
Searching the palace is just a pretense. Even if not even a hair is found, the nuns in Qingquan Palace will be blamed for lax discipline.
It doesn't matter if you hit the wall and open your mouth, it doesn't matter if you become the lowest palace servant, I'm afraid it will cost them their lives.
Emperor Kang Yuan nodded, "Go ahead and call Chen Bangzu to show Princess Chen. I see that Princess Chen's face does not look good."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." Lu Qingtang subconsciously stood up and saluted.
Emperor Kang Yuan waved his hand, and Eunuch Xu stepped back.
However, at this moment, Mo Xinyuan was slumped in Concubine Ning's arms.
There is also a taboo fire avoidance picture under her bed!
At this moment, she wanted to die immediately, but she was unwilling to die like this.
She prayed that Eunuch Xu would be slower, and even slower, it would be best if he would never reach Qingquan Palace. She even hoped that a ball of fire would fall on Qingquan Palace at this time, so that everything could be burned to the ground.
But what was supposed to come would come sooner or later. When Emperor Kang Yuan held the booklet of fire avoidance pictures in his hand, she was trembling all over.
Emperor Kang Yuan was also trembling. He did not expect that his daughter would be such a shameless person.
I was still thinking whether I might have been bewitched by Dong Chengbin. I was young and didn't dare to say anything, so I thought I'd forget it.
But now that he saw this fire avoidance map, he immediately understood that this daughter was hopeless and looked down upon herself. Otherwise, how could she have provoked a bastard like Dong Chengbin.
"Look at the good things you have done! Look at the good daughter you taught, how embarrassed she is!" Emperor Kang Yuan angrily threw the fire avoidance chart booklet on Mo Xinyuan's head.
This time Concubine Ning did not block it, and the booklet suddenly hit Mo Xinyuan's head. The corners of the book were extremely hard and cut her head open.
Mo Xinyuan was in pain and scared. She didn't dare to cry even if she wanted to. She just hid in Concubine Ning's arms and shivered.
Concubine Ning hugged her, feeling hateful and angry in her heart. She regretted that she had not taught Mo Xinyuan well, and she was also angry that Mo Xinyuan acted so shamelessly.
Looking at the mother and daughter, Emperor Kang Yuan became even more upset, "Get out of here quickly, I don't want to see you now!"
Several palace attendants came in and helped Concubine Ning and Mo Xinyuan out, leaving the emperor and Lu Qingtang alone in the study.
Eunuch Xu led Chen Bangzu into the study and took Lu Qingtang's pulse.
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to Princess Chen, there will be another heir in the palace!" Chen Bangzu knelt on the ground, looking a little worried.
Lu Qingtang's heart tightened and he couldn't help but cover his lower abdomen.
Is she pregnant again? But why didn't I notice it?
After thinking about it carefully, my monthly letters have been unstable recently, plus I am busy with other things, so I might have ignored it.
Emperor Kang Yuan smiled and said, "Sure enough! This can be considered a happy event. I'm afraid I will have another grandson...maybe two grandsons!"
After laughing, he realized something was wrong with Chen Bangzu and asked again: "But what's wrong?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the twins that Princess Chen gave birth to before caused severe physical damage. This time she is pregnant, and the fetus in her belly is somewhat deficient." Chen Bangzu said with a very solemn expression.
Emperor Kang Yuan asked quickly: "No, we must keep the fetus!"
Chen Bangzu was a little embarrassed, but he still bowed and answered.
