Chapter 712: The Finale


The prince ignored her and only ordered, "Call the third master, the fourth master, and Concubine Gu to the ancestral hall."

His voice was cold, as if he had come through a cold pool hundreds of feet tall, making the old princess tremble in the cold.

After saying that, the prince turned around and left Songheyuan and went to the ancestral hall.

The old princess sat motionless on the seat, which symbolized her superior status as the old princess of Prince Xuan's palace.

The prince could not help but smash the ornately carved chair into pieces.

Behind her, a maid helped the old princess to get up.

The old princess refused, "I won't go, I won't go anywhere."

"Drag it over" The prince's voice came, and the old princess' face turned pale.

A word of drag, without any respect, and discarded like an ant.

Although this is Songheyuan, no one dares not to listen to the prince's words.

If she still insists on not getting up, the maid will really drag her down.

She had been favored and favored all her life, and when she was most embarrassed, she was scared out of her wits by Chu Ang's thunder and lightning, but that kind of embarrassment was not as bad as the prince.

Dragging her to the ancestral hall meant that she had committed an unforgivable sin, and the prince was going to deal with her in front of her ancestors.

Because of fear, the old princess was soaked all over and could hardly stand.

The maid half helped and half carried her away.

The ancestral hall of Prince Xuan's Mansion is solemn and solemn, with ancient trees and sky, and it is spotlessly clean.

In the lobby, the rankings of the ancestors of Prince Xuan's palace are placed.

Under normal circumstances, female relatives are not allowed to enter the main hall to worship, even the old princess is no exception, but this time, the prince made an exception.

He is Prince Xuan, but the old princess is the elder, so he can only punish the old princess on her behalf, and the ancestors will bear witness.

After entering the main hall, the maids let go of their hands, and the old princess hit the ground with a plop.

The sound of her knees hitting the ground was horrifying to hear, and she felt as if her kneecaps were smashed.

The old princess had big beads of sweat on her painful forehead, and she howled in pain.

Outside, the third master and the fourth master came in.

The third master was still sitting in a wheelchair.

The fourth master walked in quickly, helped the old princess up, glared at the prince and said, "It's a good thing for the eldest brother to return to Beijing in triumph.

Once he comes back, we are not allowed to visit the old princess." , and now it’s like this, it’s too much.”

The prince looked at the fourth master and sneered, "This is called going too far.

I asked you to come here just to show you what true going too far means."

The prince's face was cold and serious when he wasn't smiling.

Everyone in the palace was used to it, but that kind of coldness and forbearing murderous intent was rare.

Just now, the maid let go and was frightened by the cold look in the prince's eyes.

She hit the old princess.

After that, for fear of being punished, he quickly left the main hall.

The fourth master was also frightened.

He and the third master were the biological children of the old princess, and they knew a little bit about some things.

They knew that the old princess coveted the throne, and they also coveted it, but they did not shake his position as Prince Xuan, especially after the prince went to war. , the old princess was seriously ill in bed.

She could not move her hands or speak.

She was like a cripple.

She was in so much pain.

She had no time to care for herself.

How could she take the throne from him?

Not only the third master and his wife, the fourth master and his wife came, but also Concubine Gu and even the Minister of Punishment came.

The prince sent someone to invite him, and the Minister of Punishment quickly left the palace.

He thought he was going to the study to see the prince.

Unexpectedly, he was led to the ancestral hall of Prince Xuan's Mansion.

Not everyone can come to this place.

What's going on?

ah.

The Minister of Punishment did not dare to ask, because he saw Marquis Chongzu being carried into the palace by secret guards, vomiting blood, and looking like he was only half alive.

Marquis Chongzu is in the limelight, who dares to beat him?

Could it be that the prince beat him like this?

well played After arriving at the ancestral hall, Chongzu Hou was thrown to the ground.

The prince looked at him and said, "Say what you said before in front of the ancestors of Prince Xuan's Mansion again."

The old princess's face was so gloomy that she could drip ink, and her eyes were as fierce as a poisonous snake spitting poison at people.

I have confessed once before and said everything that needs to be said.

It doesn't matter if I say it again.

It's just that I told it to the prince alone before, but now I'm telling it to the late princess, the old prince, and the old princess.

The Minister of Punishment is present.

This is a sentencing and punishment.

They say that family scandals should not be made public.

He underestimated Prince Xuan.

He didn’t care about reputation.

He wanted to make the scandal from decades ago public.

Chongzu Hou clenched his fists and had no choice.

He knelt on the ground and told the story of the past thirty years ago.

Just when she mentioned the Lantern Festival, the old princess sneered, "More than thirty years ago, Marquis Chongzu was only a few years old.

Can you believe his words?"

The prince glanced at her and said, "Whether I can believe what Marquis Chongzu said, I will make my own judgment.

You don't need to tell me."

The old princess almost broke her silver teeth.

As Marquis Chongzu spoke, the Minister of Punishment listened with fear.

Really, if the prince hadn't invited him here, he would never have dared to listen to a word.

The old prince has been searching hard for more than 20 years, and even until his death he could not let go of the fact that the second prince was actually killed by the old princess.

The purpose was to make his sister, the late princess, die in grief so that she could make room for her.

Such a cruel old woman People should go to the eighteenth level of hell when they die.

And the old marquis of Chongzu Hou Mansion, for a life-saving favor, actually hid the second master, which made the old prince anxious to find him.

He finally hid him for many years, and used the second master as an excuse to blackmail the old princess into marrying Concubine Gu.

Come in.

After Concubine Gu entered the house, she gave birth to Chu Huanyuan and Chu Muyuan fought for the throne for more than ten years.

If the old prince hadn't snatched the eldest son back from Mrs.

Zhao, the position of the eldest son would really have fallen into the hands of Chu Huanyuan, and the Chongzu Houfu's plan had succeeded.

However, it is also possible that the one who has the last laugh is the old princess.

When Chongzu Hou's mansion was killed and burned, the real culprit has not been found yet, so it is most likely the old princess.

A woman could be so cruel for the sake of power and position, even the Minister of Punishment was afraid.

After Marquis Chongzu finished speaking, the old princess roared, "He is lying and he is slandering me."

The old face shouted out the word slander hysterically, which was ferocious and terrifying.

Chu Ang rolled his eyes, "You have come to this point and still refuse to admit guilt.

You are so hard-boned.

What Marquis Chongzu said is that you are lying and slandering.

What about the second master?

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

You almost suffocated him to death back then.

Are his words also slandering you?"

At this time, the second master walked into the ancestral hall.

For so many years, he had always thought he was an orphan.

Even though the prince and Chu Muyuan both believed that he was a bloodline of Prince Xuan, he still dared not admit it until he returned to Beijing all the way and found all his lost memories.

He was only three years old at the time and could not remember many things, but his eldest brother fell from the lantern stand and he screamed in panic.

The boy held him and followed the crowd, and he was holding his nose tightly and could not breathe.

He remembered this scene vividly and deeply.

Seeing the second master, the old princess's pale face paled.

Although she had known for a long time that she had found the second master, she was still quite shocked when she saw him.

Can she accuse Marquis Chongzu of slandering her?

Can she accuse the Second Master?

Marquis Chongzu has done all kinds of bad things, but his words are not enough to win your trust.

Did the Second Master do anything that people don’t believe?

He didn’t.

He is the son that the old prince is looking for, and he is the younger brother of the same mother.

He and she have not seen each other for decades.

Why did he accuse her of being a murderer when they met?

The Minister of Punishment is still present.

He is used to seeing people who are tough-talking when they are about to die.

When the witnesses and physical evidence are conclusive, you will die even if you continue to cry out for injustice.

Yes, the personal and material evidence is conclusive.

The witnesses are Chongzu Hou and the Second Master, and the physical evidence is the hidden weapon found in the Xie family.

The hidden weapon that assassinated the princess was kept in the Ministry of Punishment.

Now it is found in the Xie family.

It was the old princess who ordered the assassination of the princess.

The old princess sat on the ground dejectedly, as if she had aged more than ten years and was lifeless.

The prince glanced at her coldly and ordered the Minister of Punishment, "Take her back to the Punishment Department, and the three masters and the fourth master will be imprisoned together."

Before he finished speaking, the old princess looked at him and said, "I did all this and they don't know it."

The prince smiled coldly, "Whether you know it or not is not your decision, take it away."

She was hard-hearted towards her own sister.

Her younger brother had been living abroad for more than thirty years.

She thought he would spare her two biological sons.

The prince had spoken, and the evidence of the old princess' crime was not worthy of death.

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment quickly asked people to help her away, and sent people to put the three masters and the fourth master and their family into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, waiting for a thorough investigation.

As for Marquis Chongzu, although the old Marquis did all this, he knew about it and did not report it.

For so many years, he used it as an excuse to blackmail the old princess, which is an unforgivable crime.

After the others left, Concubine Gu knelt down and walked to the prince, begging him to spare Marquis Chongzu.

Back then, her father was just temporarily obsessed and had no ill intentions.

Moreover, it was her father who saved the second master.

The merits and demerits are equal to each other.

Concubine Gu cried sadly, and the prince kicked her away, "You have been in the palace for almost twenty years.

Don't you know how anxious the old prince and I are to find the second master?

Why didn't you tell me?"

"How can I tell you?

People still expect this to threaten the old princess and help her fight for the throne of the heir apparent," Chu Ang said from the side, fearing that the world would not be in chaos.

Concubine Gu cried and begged the prince, but the prince ignored her and asked people to drag her back to Mingyue Garden.

As for how to deal with it, they would deal with her after they finished dealing with the old princess.

After all, she was different from Chongzu Hou and others.

She had given birth to children for the prince, so it was impossible to kill her.

But concealing it and not reporting it made the old prince die with hatred.

For this crime, the prince never wanted to look at her again in his life.

These are all scandals in Prince Xuan's palace, but the prince is not afraid of others knowing that the old princess is a snake-hearted person.

The old prince has been deceived all his life.

It is not his nature to hide it and deal with it secretly for the sake of the so-called reputation.

He will take the life of anyone he wants.

Frank and frank Not only does he want the old princess to go to jail, but he also wants to take away the honor she has enjoyed throughout her life.

The next day at court, the prince presented a memorial.

He wrote the memorial on behalf of the old prince, divorcing his wife on his behalf.

This memorial made all the civil and military officials in the court be in an uproar and look at each other in shock.

To be honest, the prince's memorial can be defined as unfilial to some extent.

He should not question any decision made by the old prince, let alone a major matter like divorcing his wife.

From ancient times to the present, we have never heard of a son divorcing his wife on behalf of his deceased father.

Even divorce is very rare.

But the prince wrote this memorial.

Although he often disobeyed the old prince, the old prince held the most weight in his heart and was the person he admired most when he was young.

With such a cruel and ruthless person beside him, the prince felt that It would be disrespectful to the old prince to keep getting rid of the old princess.

But the prince's move really shocked some die-hards in the court.

"Even if the old princess is unbearable, she is also the step-in-law of the old prince.

From ancient times to the present, no one has ever divorced his wife on behalf of his father.

The prince, think twice, and the emperor, think twice." ah" The emperor was also shocked by this memorial.

In fact, he did not want to replace the late emperor and divorce the queen mother, but he did not dare.

The most he could do was name his birth mother, but after seeing the prince's move, the emperor had other ideas.

After the Queen Mother died, he would not bury her in the same tomb as the late Emperor.

The prince glanced at the ministers, his eyes were cold and solemn, "I will never allow such a snake and scorpion woman to enter the ancestral hall of my Prince Xuan Mansion after her death and accept the worship of the descendants of my Chu family and make mistakes as punishment.

It doesn't matter if she is an old princess.

The emperor broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people.

Whether you agree or disagree, this memorial is written by the king for everyone in the world to see, and you do not need to agree."

"Without this king's nod, who would dare to bury her in the ancestral mausoleum of Prince Xuan's Mansion after she dies?"

This is true.

Without the consent of the prince, who knows where the old princess will be thrown after she dies.

But the prince acted magnanimously and with no regrets.

Even if she was thrown into a pit and buried, he would not allow her to die in the name of the old prince's stepmother.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty discussed it all morning, from the initial unanimous disagreement to half agreement and half rejection, and finally the Manchu court civil and military officials agreed that the prince should divorce his wife on behalf of his father.

The emperor issued an order to remove all titles from the old princess and remove her name from the Royal Jade Butterfly.

Originally, the old princess Ling Chi was going to be executed directly, but the prince did not agree.

It would be too easy for her to die like this.

She had enjoyed the life of glory and wealth for too long, so she should enjoy as many painful days as possible.

She was imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment.

The darkest death row will never see the light of day until you die.

The emperor agreed.

After dealing with the old princess, it was the turn of Chongzu Hou.

Although he had made a contribution to Prince Heng's rebellion, the emperor had also rewarded him.

The old prince was selfish and narrow-minded.

He must have died early, otherwise he would have been angry.

Will whip corpses.

As a result, their brothers have been separated for half their lives.

The prince cannot swallow this feeling no matter what.

Moreover, Chongzuhou’s meritorious service does not mean that he has no faults.

He was close to King Heng and contributed to King Heng’s rebellion.

It can only be said that he is a talented person who knows the current affairs.

He knows that King Heng’s situation is over and he is in the most dangerous situation.

He just made the most correct choice under the circumstances.

Such a person should be described as a loser.

The emperor took away the title of Marquis Chongzu, raided the Marquis Chongzu's mansion, and confiscated everything except the sacrificial fields.

As for Chongzu Hou, the prince abolished his martial arts and left him in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to keep company with the old princess.

These two were the masterminds.

Whether the third and fourth masters were accomplices, no evidence could be found for a while, but the prince did not intend to give them any mercy.

The emperor demoted them to common people, and they were not allowed to serve as officials in the court for three generations.

The case of the Second Master has come to an end here.

The prince did not mention Concubine Gu again in court, but the emperor did not forget her.

If it were not for the old princess and her, the princess and the prince might have gotten together long ago, and there was no need to wait until now.

Keeping her in the palace would cause trouble for the princess.

The emperor put on his dragon robe and said, "Concubine Gu was the one who passed through the palace only after the old marquis of Chongzu Mansion used the second master to blackmail the old princess.

As one of the insiders, she actually has the nerve to compete for the position of Prince Xuan's son.

It's not serious.

The punishment should not make women all over the world imitate it, so let her be punished to become a nun and live with the green lantern forever, so she can reflect on it."

The emperor spoke directly, and no minister dared to refute.

The prince has nothing to do.

He will never see Concubine Gu again.

Even if he does not become a monk, he will be banned in Mingyue Garden for the rest of his life.

It is impossible to argue with the emperor in public because of her.

As for Chu Huanyuan, the prince asked him to take Zhao Yanran to guard the ancestral mausoleum.

He was not allowed to return home until three years later.

As for Chu Yuanrou, she didn't want to go to guard the ancestral mausoleum, so she happened to be with Concubine Gu.

After dealing with the family affairs of Prince Xuan's palace, the emperor thought of Prince Heng.

He had been imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment for so long, so it was time to deal with it.

Look at Prince Xuan's vigorous and resolute behavior.

Prince Heng forced the palace and almost killed him, but he hadn't even put him in prison yet.

He gave death, but he was still too kind after all.

If the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knew the emperor's inner narration, they would probably vomit three liters of blood.

King Heng was not executed directly, but he was imprisoned in the death row of the Ministry of Punishments and was whipped three times a day.

He could not die, but life was worse than death.

There is no need to execute him.

It is estimated that King Heng will die within a month or two.

As the prince said, it would be too cheap to kill her directly.

It would be better to leave her in the Ministry of Punishments and slowly torture her to death.

King Heng's rebellion was destined to end, but what was more important now was Concubine Yan and Princess Changshan.

Not many people knew that the eldest son of Prince Changshan was the biological son of Prince Qi of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and no one even spread the word.

They all considered the face of Prince Changshan and never mentioned it.

But it is impossible for Princess Changshan to live like this.

The prince wanted to mention it, but the news of Princess Changshan's sudden death reached the palace.

Her death was sudden, and everyone in the court felt sorry for her.

It was a pity that such a magnificent beauty passed away like this.

Once upon a time, Princess Changshan was no longer seen leaving the palace.

Concubine Yan, who was favored by the emperor, suddenly fell out of favor.

She was demoted again and again.

Half a year later, she had been demoted from Concubine Yan, who was as famous as the empress, to a noble concubine.

Once Princess Changshan died, Concubine Yan had no chance to turn around.

The ministers who originally supported Concubine Yan and the Second Prince's bid for the throne all lowered their heads and sighed.

Although they had been trying their best to curry favor with the Queen's party in the past few months, they had little effect and the future was bleak.

Who would have known that while they were discussing matters in the political palace, several palace maids were bullying Concubine Yan in the harem?

The emperor no longer cares about her.

The eldest son of Changshan Palace is not the son of King Qi of the Eastern Qi Dynasty.

The prince did not hide it from the emperor.

How did King Qi of the Eastern Qi treat the emperor back then?

The prince and the princess did not know each other.

The emperor could still continue to dote on the concubine, and it was too late.

Half a year later, Concubine Yan died of illness.

After her death, the second prince she gave birth to was made a county prince by the emperor and sent to fiefdoms.

Generally, the emperor's son will be named a prince.

Only those he dislikes very much will be named a county prince.

The emperor is afraid.

God knows if the second prince is his son.

If he wears a cuckold like King Changshan, wouldn't he become a prince?

Hulk But when the imperial concubine entered the palace, he still remembered Luo Hong, but as for King Changshan, he couldn't be so stupid, he must have been deceived, what if he was the same.

The emperor did not dare to investigate further, so he sent the second prince to the fiefdom.

Poor second prince, who was once a hot candidate for the crown prince position and was held in high esteem by all the stars, actually fell out of favor along with his grandfather's family and Yan Guifei, and in the end he was only named a small county prince.

It is really embarrassing.

Of course, these are all things for later, let’s not mention them for now.

After coming out of the Assembly Hall, the prince went to the death row of the Ministry of Punishment.

The most vicious criminals were imprisoned there and they were tightly guarded.

There were four iron gates alone, making it difficult to fly.

The old princess, King Heng, and Marquis Chongzu were locked inside.

There is a pungent stench in the death row that makes it impossible to stay for a moment.

The old princess was locked inside, her spirit was broken, and she wanted to hit the wall and die.

When she saw the prince coming, she seemed to have seen a savior, and cried, "Hao'er, please let me go, let me go.

Back then, it was I was obsessed for a moment, I shouldn’t have harmed you Master, but he is not dead.

It is Lao Chongzuhou.

It is he who does not let you brothers reunite.

Your mother is seriously ill.

Even if the second master is not missing, she will not live long.

For so many years, I have treated you like my own son. , I never wanted to harm you."

She was already on death row, and even the jailers thought she was naive when she still wanted to get out.

Through an iron gate, the prince looked at her with strange and terrifying eyes, "I came here to tell you that the day you die is when I let the third and fourth masters taste what it's like to leave their hometown and be bullied.

Live, you are protecting them by living.”

After saying that, the prince turned and left.

He said that he would not let her die so easily.

He wanted her to taste what it was like to not be able to die even if she wanted to.

The old princess knelt down and almost broke down and shouted, "Hao'er and the others are your biological brothers.

You can't treat them like this.

You can't, you can't."

Wails echoed through the death row.

Unfortunately, the prince did not look back.

In his life, he only has one biological brother The emperor's decree announced to the world that the prince had divorced his wife on behalf of his father, which attracted countless people to discuss.

It was particularly unlucky for Prince Xuan, who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, but was brave and good at fighting and pierced the palace of Yang Baizhong with an arrow like a god.

The second master was even more curious and admired.

But what everyone is more envious of is the second wife of Prince Xuan who married the second master when he was living abroad.

She must have burned incense and saved some Bodhisattva in distress in her previous eighteen lives to find such a good son-in-law.

Previously, An Chenghou was a posthumous title given to the second master by the emperor.

Now that he has returned with his military exploits, the emperor officially conferred the title of An Chenghou on him in front of the civil and military officials of the court.

It is a military merit title and he is worthy of his name.

Chu Ang, who temporarily replaced An Chenghou, took off his title and became a street bully again.

"Master Thirteen, we have always been curious, why are you called Master Thirteen?

Shouldn't you be the Second Young Master?"

"Thirteen sounds good."

"There are rumors outside that Prince Qi of Dong Qi was killed.

Is it really you who killed him?"

"Does it matter if it's true or not?

He's dead anyway."

"Can you really cause lightning to strike someone?"

"You are so curious, so I am kind enough to let you have a taste of being struck by lightning.

Come on, come on, come closer."

The crowd instantly dispersed.

The restaurant owner stepped forward tremblingly, "Master Thirteen, please take it easy, this restaurant is going to be hacked."

Chu Ang gnawed on the chicken leg and said, "Here's the food money."

"It is our restaurant's honor for the Thirteenth Young Master to come to our restaurant for dinner.

Our restaurant has invited you to this meal."

"This is so embarrassing.

It makes me feel like I'm eating a king's meal.

Another roast suckling pig."

Restaurant owner, "."

Rejoice, Kyoto has returned to its former liveliness.

In a blink of an eye, the little princess was one month old.

Previously, the emperor had said that he would give the title to Princess Qingcheng again.

Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net

On the full moon day of the little princess, the emperor personally came to the palace to attend the full moon ceremony of the little princess and changed the title to Princess Qingcheng.

The title given by the emperor is a great honor, especially if the title is changed, the more you change it, the better.

Everyone praised this title as being better than the previous ones.

The emperor held the little princess in his arms and said with a smile, "Do you like the new title?"

The little princess said nothing.

Um.

It's not like she didn't mean it at all.

When he was happy, he peed on the emperor's dragon robe. emperor,"."

Ministers, "."

Really, I almost suffered internal injuries from holding it back.

Well done, little princess.

The prince was happy, "As expected of my Prince Xuan's daughter" Chu Ang looked at his father from the side, "Dad, you can't embarrass Prince Xuan's Mansion, poop on the Emperor, and regain your sense of existence as the eldest son and grandson of Prince Xuan's Mansion.

My son supports you."

The emperor glared at the prince fiercely, hugged the little princess to the princess and said, "Teach the little princess well and don't be led astray by her father."

The princess couldn't laugh or cry.

The prince held her in his arms, and the princess struggled to break away.

The prince held her tightly and said in her ear, "Give me some face, otherwise don't blame me for kissing you in public."

With such a shameless prince, the princess was defeated.

The prince is shameless, but she still wants to see people.

The emperor was so close that other people couldn't hear what the prince said, but he could still hear it clearly.

He looked sideways at him, not blaming him, but just uncomfortable.

He is used to seeing Prince Xuan with cold eyes and solemn words.

It is not common for the emperor to see such a shameless prince.

It can only be said that like father, like son.

Mu'er used to be so shameless.

He has always been curious about who he followed.

But it's okay, Jinning is used to having a cold temper, and only this shameless temper, which can't be shaken off like a dog's skin plaster, can make her return to her previous temper.

I believe that it won't be long before she can regain her former smile.

Well, the prince won over his wife all by being shameless. don't talk to him Don't blame me for kissing you.

Don’t eat at the same table with me Okay, give me a kiss.

Don't want to go out with me There is a banquet in the house and a kiss in public.

If there's something that doesn't make sense and one kiss can't solve it, then two.

This shameless method of overcoming the problem has a remarkable effect.

After the little princess has passed a hundred days, the prince and princess have become a married woman.

In the palace, there is liveliness and laughter every day, and there are people showing affection wherever they go.

Chu Ang expressed dissatisfaction.

This is bullying singles One sunny morning, after being tortured by the dog in turn, he got up angrily and was struck by lightning as soon as he went out.

"Master, I also want to marry a wife."

No one was seen, only the sound was heard.

Chu Muyuan hugged Shen Yue and smiled, "I guess I won't come back so soon this time."

Shen Yue also knew that Chu Ang would not come back so soon.

He disliked his father for growing up too slowly and wanted him to speak earlier.

I guess when I come back, Xing'er will be able to call people.

"I wonder what kind of wife he wants to marry?"

Shen Yue asked, looking at the distant mountains and blue sky.

"I'm most likely carrying it with him." "."
