The emperor walked over from the corridor. He was listening to their conversation next door. He didn't tell Princess Qing what he had secretly eavesdropped on. He just wanted to know what she wanted to say and whether it was really what she said. Wing has no personal feelings anymore.
This matter is a thorn in the emperor's heart. They are siblings by name. If such scandals continue to spread, it will damage the royal family's reputation too much.
After listening to her confession, she really had good intentions.
On the contrary, the prince was too ruthless.
"Father, why are you here?" Princess Qing was startled and hurriedly greeted her, her eyes secretly lowered, looking dejected.
"I want to know if you have really given up those ridiculous ideas." The emperor spoke to her in a gentler tone, "I am very pleased that you did not disappoint me."
"Father, I really don't have those thoughts in my heart. I just want to rekindle the relationship between brother and sister with A-yi." Princess Qing cried, "but A-yi doesn't believe me."
"Go in and talk." The emperor glanced at Nangong Yitian and walked in first.
Nangong Yitian paused for a moment, then followed in. Princess Qing walked behind him, and Eunuch Qing hurriedly closed the door.
After the palace door closed, the emperor slowly sat down, gave the two of them seats, and said to Nangong Yitian in a serious voice: "Prince, do you still listen to my words?"
Nangong Yitian had just sat down, but he stood up again after hearing these words, "My father, I dare not not listen to you."
"In this case, I will order you to reconcile with your sister. I have already told her that she did something wrong in this matter and asked her to apologize to Leng Xiao."
Nangong Yitian said: "Father, since she has apologized to Erchen, she does not need to apologize to Leng Xiao. Erchen will convey her apology."
The emperor said sternly: "It is better to resolve enemies than to make enemies. She can also express her sincerity by apologizing in person."
He looked at Princess Qing and ordered: "Tomorrow morning, you bring some gifts to the East Palace to see the Crown Princess. You should admit your mistakes when you should, apologize when you should apologize, your attitude should be sincere, and your words should be gentle. If you let me know that you still have personal grudges in your heart , I won’t spare you.”
Princess Qing hurriedly responded: "I have received the order and will go to see the Crown Princess early tomorrow morning and apologize to her."
"Father..."
"Ayi!" The emperor's face darkened, "Do you want to disobey my will? Do you want to continue to disobey me for Leng Xiao?"
Nangong Yitian was slightly angry, "Father, don't involve Leng Xiao in everything. What does it have to do with her?"
The emperor sternly said: "If it weren't for Leng Xiao, would you siblings have done this? I heard what your sister just said. When Leng Xiao married you, you yourself knew that she came with a purpose. But you had feelings for her. You really shouldn't have feelings for her. Fortunately, she got rid of Leng Zhenhuan for you later. What if she really wanted to kill you?"
Nangong Yitian's heart felt very cold. He pulled his thin lips and raised a sarcastic smile, "Thank you, father, for remembering that Leng Xiao got rid of Leng Zhenhuan for the court."
Seeing his attitude, the emperor was so angry that he said, "What is your attitude? When Leng Xiao comes back, you have really changed. The Tutor said that you have been hanging around Leng Xiao recently and neglected political affairs. It seems that Leng Xiao’s return is a disaster, not a blessing.”
Nangong Yitian immediately retorted, "It's a blessing for my son!"
"You really disappoint me."
Princess Qing curled her lips without leaving any trace. How could she not know that her father was listening?
How could she not know that her father was suspicious by nature?
After Leng Xiao died, his father would remember her for the rest of his life, and would not even rule out building a monument for her in the future. But when Leng Xiao came back alive, it was impossible for him to forget that she was Leng Zhenhuan's daughter.
As long as the slightest suspicion arose in him, it would never be removed.
Ayi, this is the last chance I give you. I hope you know how to seize it and don't regret it for the rest of your life.
