Listening to people on the street talking about Liu's consort, Yunchu felt a little dazed.
In the previous life, it was officially September before the affair of Liu Consort came to light. In this life, it was a little half a month earlier. It must have been something that my father and eldest brother did.
The common people thought that Liu's consort had behaved inappropriately in front of the palace and offended Long Yan, so he was beheaded.
In fact, after the dispersion of the dynasty, Liu's consort had an affair with a concubine in the harem, and was caught by the emperor who went there. No man could accept being a cuckold, let alone the king of a country. The emperor immediately pulled out of his side. The long knife in the guard's hand cut off Liu Consort's head without any explanation.
After all, the emperor was old and lacked strength. It is said that it took many chops before Consort Liu's neck was cut off...
Royal scandals are not allowed to be spread outside, and only some people know about it.
The emperor didn't trust others to handle Liu's consort's affairs, so he left it to her father to deal with it. He laid down a series of charges. The first thing he did was to raid the consort's house.
And the letter she wrote in the tone of Marquis Xuanwu was placed on the desk of Liu Consort's study.
The content of the letter is very simple: "...I know a little bit about the affair between the Prince Consort and Tian Fei. If you want me to keep it secret, the Prince Consort has prepared 10,000 taels of silver and sent it to the Xuanwu Marquis Mansion..."
Knowing about the royal scandal, and using the scandal to threaten and blackmail him, this is something the emperor will never tolerate. The Xuanwu Hou Mansion will soon disappear from the capital.
Yun Chu's face was cold.
In her previous life, until her death, she did not know that there was someone else in her wedding night.
After ruining her life, she still wants to be a happy and happy Marquis of Xuanwu, and still misses her family, a good wife, and a concubine. It's just a dream!
Just as Yun Chu and the craftsmen had discussed the specific details of the painting, they saw a large group of soldiers walking through the streets and heading towards Xuanwu Hou's Mansion.
Not long after, the group of officers and soldiers escorted Marquis Xuanwu through the street.
Countless people were talking about it.
"What's going on today? Something happened to Liu's consort, and something happened to Marquis Xuanwu?"
"Consort Liu committed a disobedience in front of the palace. What crime did Marquis Xuanwu commit, and the court went out of his way to arrest him?"
"Who knows what's going on..."
Qin Mingheng was being held in custody, also confused.
Since he divorced Luo, he has become a joke among people in the capital. In order to avoid being laughed at, he has not been to court for many days. He stays at home with his first mother every day and reads the Four Books to the child in her belly. Five Classics.
He had just heard the servants talk about Liu's consort, and when he was shocked that the dignified consort was having an affair with the concubine, the officers and soldiers rushed into the Hou Mansion and arrested him.
After he inherited the title, he had always followed the rules and never done anything he shouldn't have done. He really didn't understand what crime he had committed. He wanted to be detained in public, paraded to the Yamen, and made to declare war. Where does the reputation of Hou Mansion come from!
He raised his head and saw a longing face among the crowd.
It's Yunchu!
At this moment, he suddenly understood why he had fallen into such a situation.
It was her...she used the power of the Yun family to accuse him of an unfounded crime...just to take revenge on the wedding night!
She was the one he had hidden in his heart since he was a boy. He had admired her for so many years, and he would give anything for her.
But she wanted him to die.
He looked at Yun Chu, and he saw the indifference in her eyes, and saw her pleasure. His heart felt as if it was being slowly cut with a knife, and it hurt so much.
That night, it was clearly not him, so why should he bear her revenge.
Qin Mingheng suddenly began to struggle. The two officers and soldiers were unable to hold him down and almost let him escape.
"let me go!"
He roared angrily, but the two officers and soldiers ignored him and held him forcefully through the busy street.
Qin Mingheng stared in Yunchu's direction.
He has not made any mistakes. There is no way to convict him of unfounded charges. He will definitely be acquitted!
At that time, he must ask this woman in person whether she has a heart or not!
Yun Chu watched Qin Mingheng being taken away, the expression on his face not changing much.
The next morning, she heard that Luo, who had been abandoned by Marquis Xuanwu, beat the news drum and sued her former husband for communicating with the guilty party, and also produced crucial evidence.
Originally, the court was still searching for evidence of Xuanwu Hou's crimes. Luo's move could be said to have dealt a fatal blow to Xuanwu Hou.
The imperial court directly issued an order to abolish the title of Marquis Xuanwu, confiscate all the private property of the Marquis Mansion, and all three generations of men, including Qin Mingheng, were exiled for three thousand miles.
The upper generation of the Hou family has passed away, and the lower generation only has Qin Mingheng and Luo's only legitimate son.
In this dynasty, couples reconciled and their children all belonged to the man. However, because the Luo family had meritorious service in filing a complaint and the legitimate son was young, the court allowed the legitimate son of Marquis Xuanwu to change his surname to Luo and avoid exile.
Yun Chu couldn't help but sigh, if it wasn't for Qin Mingheng's support of his wife, Luo would never have cut off the relationship with the Hou Mansion so decisively.
Qin Mingheng was sued by his married wife. It was his own fault and he suffered the consequences... He just felt sorry for the outsider who had just entered the Hou Mansion. It is said that he was so frightened that he gave birth prematurely...
"Okay, that's great!" Xie Zhongcheng looked happy, "Brother Wei just broke the finger of the young prince of the Hou family and broke his leg... Hahaha, let him bully others with the power of Marquis Xuanwu , let him act tyrannically, won’t retribution come?”
"Every evil deed will be punished!" Yuan said angrily, and then sighed, "I don't know where Brother Wei is now. He is so young and alone outside, poor child..."
"Why mention him?" Xie Zhongcheng changed the subject, "Seeing that September is coming, Brother An will enter the Imperial College soon. Qian'er heard someone say that he has to go to the Imperial College in advance to order Mao. I wonder if Jingyu can get up and see An off. brothers."
Xie Jingyu's condition improved slightly, but only slightly.
He couldn't move his left hand at all, and his left leg could barely support his body. He had been lying in the house for too long, and he wanted to go out for some air.
Another one is that the old lady passed away and he had to observe mourning for one year. He was afraid that if he stayed in the house without going out, everyone in the court would forget that there was Mr. Xie.
The next day, he got up and personally sent Xie Shi'an to the palace to order mao.
After the incident with the flower pot, the atmosphere between the father and son was a bit delicate. They were in silence all the way while riding in the same carriage.
Finally, the carriage stopped at the palace gate.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Xie? Why are you here in the palace?" Mr. Yuan, Xie Jingyu's nemesis, came from a distance, "Mr. Xie's complexion is really a little bad. He should take good care of himself."
Xie Jingyu's voice was calm: "Thank you, Mr. Yuan, for your concern."
"Master Xie has not passed the filial piety period, so he should not come to the palace gate. If he bumps into the nobles in the palace, he will inevitably be charged with disrespect." Master Yuan whispered, "Liu Consort and Marquis Xuanwu were charged with disrespect because of disrespect." Fa Luo, Sir Xie, please be careful."
This sounds like concern, but it's actually ridicule.
Xie Jingyu's face was very serious. In the past, he would definitely find his place, but now, he doesn't have the energy.
"Master Yuan's words are serious." Xie Shi'an on the side said, "The young master of the Yuan family has poor knowledge and has not been admitted to the imperial examination. Naturally, Master Yuan does not know that today is the time when the Imperial College is reporting, and my father is sending me to the palace to accompany him. When noble people study, how can they argue against each other?"
Lord Yuan looked stiff.
His child is really not good at studying. When he talks about this, he becomes bald and feels unable to hold his head up.
He had no choice but to walk away in despair.
"I will send you here." Xie Jingyu said, "Be careful with your words and actions."
He didn't say much else. He knew that this son knew how to deal with it.
