The emperor tapped his fingers on the armrest of the seat nonchalantly.
If one day Su Honghe knew that Su Ruowei and the third prince Shen Jinchuan had been together for a long time, could Su Honghe still remain neutral and only support him as the emperor?
At this moment, Su Honghe would never have thought that just by subconsciously defending Su Ruowei, the emperor would doubt his loyalty.
I don't know if he will regret protecting Su Ruowei now if he finds out about this in the future.
The emperor didn't think for too long. He came back to his senses and said slowly, "Su Aiqing, there is something I don't understand, and I want to ask you."
"Your Majesty, please speak."
"I remember that Su Ruowei has been expelled from the family tree by your Su family. In other words, strictly speaking, Su Ruowei cannot be regarded as a member of the Su family."
"Then - is it against the rules for an outsider to kneel to the ancestors of the Su family?"
"this······"
Su Honghe was speechless and didn't know how to answer.
Logically speaking, Su Ruowei has been expelled from the Su family tree and cannot be considered a member of the Su family. This is indeed against the rules.
But Su Honghe admitted in his heart that Su Ruowei, his daughter, was just because the Su family always used family rules to talk things over, so he could only avoid his edge.
Now, His Majesty directly exposed his selfish motives.
"It seems that Su Aiqing also knows that what you did is against the rules."
The emperor chuckled lightly and said lightly, "Since you know it is against the rules, then don't do it. As the head of the hundred officials, Su Aiqing must set an example for the officials, so let's do it like this -"
"Outside the capital, I remembered that there was a nunnery, so I asked Miss Su Er to go to the Buddha to repent and admit her mistakes. She copied scriptures for Princess Mo and prayed for them every day, and asked the Buddha to bless Princess Mo for her safe return."
The corners of the emperor's mouth raised slightly, but the smile did not reach his eyes. "Prime Minister, what do you think of my decision?"
Su Honghe secretly glanced at the emperor's face and saw the coldness in the emperor's eyes. His heart skipped a beat. He didn't dare to have any opinions.
Su Honghe forced a smile and said, "I think your Majesty's decision is very good."
The emperor looked at Su Honghe with satisfaction, "Since the Prime Minister thinks this decision is good, it is better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. Let Miss Su set off today."
"I will send a nun to the nunnery with Miss Su Er later, and teach Miss Su the rules well, so that she will not be so unruly in the future."
"correct!"
The emperor thought of something and reminded, "Since you are going to the Buddha to repent and pray for Princess Mo, you must live a simpler life to show your sincerity. Don't bring anything you shouldn't bring."
"You should also visit less, so as not to disturb the Buddha's purity."
The emperor's arrangement was clearly to make Su Ruowei suffer hardship in the nunnery.
As long as Su Qianxi doesn't find her back for a day, no one in the Su family can give anything to Su Ruowei in the name of visiting Su Ruowei.
The only thing Su Ruowei can do is to sincerely pray to the Buddha to let Su Qianxi come back soon, otherwise, the emperor will let Su Ruowei stay in the nunnery for the rest of his life! !
"Your Majesty said so."
At this moment, Su Honghe could not say anything except echoing the emperor's words.
He originally thought that he had punished Su Ruowei in advance, and even if His Majesty was dissatisfied, he would not punish Su Ruowei separately.
Unexpectedly, His Majesty's love for his wife and children to such an extent is because he underestimated the position of the Regent in His Majesty's heart.
When Su Honghe returned home exhausted both physically and mentally, before he could sit down and take a sip of tea, he saw his mother coming with someone menacingly.
"Su Honghe, you asked Ruowei to kneel in the ancestral hall?!"
Mrs. Su called out Su Honghe's name as soon as she entered the door, obviously very angry.
"Ruowei has done something wrong and needs to kneel in the ancestral hall. Let me tell you, you have to send someone to call Ruowei back now, otherwise I will never be done with you!!"
Mrs. Su did not give Su Honghe a chance to explain, and directly let Su Honghe release him.
Su Honghe pressed his temples tiredly, "Mother, don't worry about this matter."
"Ruowei went to kneel in the ancestral hall because he did something wrong. Ruowei himself has no objection to this punishment, so don't get involved."
Now Ruowei is just asked to kneel in the ancestral hall at home, and her mother is so angry.
If my mother later knew that His Majesty had ordered Ruowei to go to a nunnery outside the city to clean up, and that no one of them was allowed to visit Ruowei, wouldn't she explode? !
Mrs. Su moved her left ear in and out right ear, continuing to exert her messy skills.
"If Ruowei is so good and sensible, he can do anything wrong. Even if he does something wrong, it must be instigated by others."
"Mother!!"
Su Honghe interrupted Mrs. Su's nonsense somewhat irritably.
"I know you feel sorry for Ruowei, but Ruowei admitted that she deliberately fabricated it and spread rumors to slander Su Qianxi. The facts are there, so you should stop messing around!!"
"Su Qianxi?"
Mrs. Su was stunned for a moment, "Is this related to Su Qianxi?"
Before Su Honghe could speak, Mrs. Su sneered and said bluntly, "Since it has something to do with Su Qianxi, then it's definitely not Ruowei who is at fault, it must be Su Qianxi's fault."
Seeing that he had spoken so clearly and his mother still insisted that it was Su Qianxi's problem, Su Honghe felt like his head was pounding.
It happened that at this time, someone came from the palace.
The leading nanny got His Majesty's order, and after saying hello to Prime Minister Su, she took Su Ruowei away directly.
Mrs. Su wanted to stop her, but Su Honghe was so frightened that he quickly called his servants to stop Mrs. Su.
Mrs. Su watched helplessly as her precious granddaughter was taken away. She was so excited that she fainted. The Su family was in chaos.
Su Hongyu, who was far away in Xuancheng, had just woken up. When he opened his eyes, he saw several unfamiliar faces standing in front of his bed, which scared him so much that he woke up instantly.
Seeing Su Hongyu wake up, the housekeeper asked happily and worriedly, "Sir, are you awake? Do you still feel itchy?"
"Would you like to let the doctor take a look?"
Su Hongyu, who was not sure what the situation was at first, reacted immediately after hearing the butler's words.
He thought of what happened yesterday and reached out to cover the back of his head with a painful look on his face.
Yesterday he was itching all over for some unknown reason. The housekeeper called all the doctors in the city, but no doctor knew what was wrong with him.
Seeing that the dead horse was treated as a living horse, the medicine prescribed by the doctor was of no use at all, and whenever he found an opportunity, he scratched himself till he was bleeding.
The housekeeper had no choice but to send someone to watch him and knock him out if he wanted to harm himself.
Yesterday, I was knocked unconscious and suddenly woken up by itches so many times, I received so many sap blows on the back of my head.
No wonder when he woke up, his head hurt as if it was about to split.
