After the flower viewing banquet was over, Queen Mother Pei found nothing.
Madams from all the families had heard about Yongfu County Lord's plot to murder Princess Yu, so it was normal for the marriage to be unsatisfactory.
There are those who want to marry her, either because their family status is in decline, or they are marrying for the bastard in the family.
These people are coveting Prince Fu's palace behind Lord Yongfu.
After the death of Prince Xianfu and Princess Xianfu, there were no heirs left to inherit the title, only her daughter.
The late emperor did not take back the prince's palace because of Prince Fu's contribution to the country. He also made an exception and passed the palace to his daughter.
Therefore, most of the people who want to marry the prince of Yongfu County are wealthy and powerful, coveting the wealth of Prince Fu's palace.
After all, Yongfu County Jun is the prince's legitimate daughter, and she is at the Queen Mother's knees. If she marries into such a family, where will the royal family's reputation go?
But it is also difficult to marry a man who is of the right family.
Just when Queen Mother Pei was worried, Lord Yongfu did something to add fuel to the fire.
In the afternoon of this day, Chu Siqing and Princess Yu came out of Tianyan Pavilion in the palace and were about to return to Prince Yu's Mansion.
After getting on the carriage, she suddenly heard the nervous sound of the system.
System: [Host, get off the bus with Princess Yu! 】
Chu Siqing said in confusion: [Atong, what happened? 】
System: [I just found out that Yongfu County Lord is going to attack you! 】
Chu Siqing was so excited that she immediately woke up.
She quickly asked: [Is there something wrong with this carriage? 】
The system said anxiously: [The assassins arranged by Lord Yongfu will soon attack this carriage! 】
Chu Siqing didn't care to think about the countermeasures, and babbled a few times quickly, shouting to Princess Yu in her heart:
[Concubine, please tell the groom to stop! There's an assassin ahead! 】
Hearing her daughter's voice, Princess Yu was shocked and said quickly: "Stop the car!"
The driver driving the carriage immediately stopped and asked Princess Yu: "Princess, what's wrong?"
King Yu specially arranged a team of guards to escort the princess and the princess into the palace, and the groom was one of them.
Chu Siqing said to Princess Yu in her heart: [Mother Concubine! It's the assassin arranged by Lord Yongfu. We can't let her go this time! 】
Princess Yu's face was condensed, and she was thinking of countermeasures in her mind.
After a moment, she said to the captain of the guard next to her: "Lin Yuan, there will be assassins who will attack the carriage later. You must be careful."
Captain Lin's face changed drastically and he said in shock: "Princess, who dares to assassinate you and the princess?"
Princess Yu said: "He is someone sent by Yongfu County Lord."
Lin Yuan suddenly broke into a cold sweat and said, "Fortunately, you and the princess got out of the car."
Princess Yu nodded and warned: "Don't alert the enemy, be sure to capture the assassin alive!"
Lin Yuan had regained his composure and took the order: "Yes! Princess."
He gathered a group of guards together, explained the situation and made arrangements.
Then, Princess Yu and Chu Siqing returned to the palace, and the others returned to the mansion as usual.
They looked normal on the surface, but in fact they were ready to attack, waiting for the assassin to appear and then kill them all in one fell swoop!
Prince Fu's Mansion.
There was a crazy smile on Lord Yongfu's face.
She has been waiting for the news that Han Wanqing and her daughter were stabbed to death.
But she didn't expect that the last ones waiting would be people from the Zongren Mansion.
The clan leader ordered: "Mr. Yongfu, you are suspected of assassinating Princess Yu and the Saint. Please come with us."
Lord Yongfu was shocked and angry. He didn't expect someone to doubt him so soon!
She managed to remain calm and asked, "What evidence do you have?"
Zongren's eyes were cold and he said: "Mr. Yongfu, the assassin you sent has confessed to the assassination."
Lord Yongfu couldn't believe it. She clearly sent dead soldiers, so how could he be captured alive and confessed? !
But Zong Renling did not give her time to question, and urged: "Jun Yongfu, it's time for you to go to the Zong Ren Mansion for examination."
Although Lord Yongfu was panicked, he still said disdainfully: "What qualifications do you have to let me go to the clan's mansion?"
Last time, King Yu kept saying that he would send her to the clan's mansion, but in the end she was just banned in the palace.
Zong Renling calmly took out the imperial decree from his arms and said seriously: "This is the emperor's decree."
Lord Yongfu's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and an inexplicable panic surged up.
How could the emperor be so careless this time?
Is he really going to be strict with himself this time?
No no...it won't.
She was her father's only daughter and was raised by the Queen Mother herself. The Emperor's response was probably just for show.
Lord Yongfu comforted himself, and was even in the mood to ask Zong Renling: "How is Princess Yu's condition?"
She was ready to hear that Han Wanqing was dead.
However, Zong Renling sarcastically said: "Don't worry, Princess Yu and the Holy Maiden are both safe and sound."
"What? Impossible...This is impossible!"
Lord Yongfu never expected that Han Wanqing would survive unharmed after being assassinated by a soldier carefully trained by Prince Fu's Mansion!
Just like that, while shouting "impossible", she was escorted into the clan mansion in a daze.
Faced with the interrogation of the Zongren Mansion, with the evidence conclusive, Yongfu County Lord no longer argued and admitted that she was the one who caused the assassination of the princess.
It's just that Lord Yongfu still naively thought that she would murder Princess Yu like she did last time.
The Queen Mother would intercede for her, and the Emperor would again gently expose the matter for the sake of her father.
However, three days later, she waited for the imperial edict that she would be deposed as a commoner and would spend the rest of her life guarding the tomb of Prince Fu.
Lord Yongfu refused to believe this result, so he made a fuss in the clan's mansion to see the Queen Mother.
When the Queen Mother Pei learned about this, she thought that this would be the last time she would see her, so she agreed.
The real name of Yongfu County Lord is Sun Zhirou. After being demoted to a commoner, Yongfu's title naturally disappeared.
Sun Zhirou knelt in front of the Queen Mother. She was dressed in plain white, with only a simple hairpin on her head. She no longer looked as luxurious as before.
From now on, she will not have a title, nor can she wear anything that is inconsistent with her status.
Sun Zhirou's eyes were already swollen from crying, and she said pitifully: "Empress Dowager, please save me!"
Queen Mother Pei's heart had long been cold, and she said expressionlessly: "You brought this on yourself, and I can't save you."
Sun Zhirou burst into tears: "The Queen Mother, Zhirou has already made a mistake! Please, give me another chance!"
Queen Mother Pei was unmoved: "The Ai family has long advised you not to be stubborn, but now it's too late!"
Sun Zhirou tried her best to stop her tears and said calmly: "My father died for Da Chu, can't you save me again in consideration of his merits?"
Queen Mother Pei said coldly: "It's just for your father's sake that you go to guard the mausoleum and reflect on your past!"
She paused and said, "Otherwise, you should be imprisoned in the clan's mansion for the rest of your life!"
Sun Zhirou's eyes were red: "Han Wanqing is just a daughter of an uncle, how could the emperor do this to me?!"
The Queen Mother Pei was fed up and just said: "You are murdering Princess Yu and the Saint of Dachu. Such a punishment is too light!"
After saying that, Queen Mother Pei said: "Come here, take her down. The Ai family doesn't want to see her again."
"The Queen Mother! The Queen Mother! I...well..."
Sun Zhirou wanted to say something more, but the palace maid covered her mouth and led her away.
From now on, she will stay away from the imperial city and stay at Prince Fu's mausoleum for the rest of her life, thinking about her past.
