After Xiao Fubao's Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital Chapter 431

Chapter 431 Breaking off the Engagement

The emperor thought of Prince Qi's house. This family was originally very common, but Prince Qi's son and his wife were famous for their ability to have children. The couple gave birth to six sons and one daughter. The emperor was envious of it and even had other thoughts. In the end, he still endured it. Lived.

He did not seek to seize the minister's wife, but he brought the concubine's sister into the palace, that is, Lin Jieyu. Lin Jieyu was not as fertile as his sister at all.

Thinking of what happened in the paddock, the emperor easily connected a line. However, the fact that Lin Jieyu was related to Prince Qi's Mansion really proved that Prince Qi's Mansion was the mastermind behind this incident?

The emperor always felt that things were not that simple, or perhaps it was because as an emperor he was sensitive to imperial power and felt that he was not just the enemy of King Qi.

But as a monarch, just being aware of the other party's motives is enough to take action against them.

Not long after Shengjia returned to the capital, the emperor had a secret talk with his young confidant who had just been promoted for only half an hour. The next day, the court launched a vigorous impeachment operation, and the target of impeachment was the Qi Prince's Mansion.

The late emperor only had one younger brother, King Ruo, who died because of his treason. Although King Qi was only the cousin of the late emperor, he was the one with the closest blood relationship to the emperor today. The old King Qi was also the second highest-ranking member of the royal family. The elders have a high status within the clan.

In recent years, because of his filial piety, the emperor has turned a blind eye to many matters in the Qi Palace. However, the power of the Qi Palace has become stronger and stronger.

It's just that no matter how powerful you are, if you don't have soldiers in your hands, it's just fish and meat on the emperor's chopping board.

In the eyes of outsiders, Prince Qi's palace is extremely powerful. After someone was impeached and approved by the emperor, countless ministers followed him and wanted to step on him.

From the time when the descendants of the Prince of Qi occupied fertile farmland, to seizing the women of the people, and taking on all the lawsuits, in the end even the old Prince of Qi himself was exposed for the scandal that happened decades ago. The Prince of Qi's own **** was not clean, and the building was about to collapse, and the corners were hidden. All the enemies inside appeared.

For several days in a row, the victims of Prince Qi's palace came to beat the Dengwen drum, and there was no injustice at all.

The emperor originally wanted to punish the Prince of Qi, but in less than half a month, the Prince of Qi deprived him of the throne and the whole family, men, women, old and young, were exiled to Lingnan.

"Get him out of here quickly. We don't have this kind of in-law in the Xianguo Palace!" It was rare for Mrs. Xianguo to lose her composure in front of her servants. At this moment, she wanted to eat alive the person who came to report the visit of Rongjia County Lord.

But before the servant had time to act, a slender figure walked in.

"The marriage between my mother, my second brother, and the head of Rongjia County has all been cleared up in front of the Holy Master. Although Prince Qi's palace has been defeated now, I believe in my promise. How can I offend my future daughter-in-law because of family affairs? ?" Qin Jing said warmly.

Mrs. Xianguo and Qin Er, who was hiding behind her, were all looking at him in disbelief.

“My son, do you want your second brother to marry the sinner?”

Qin Jing nodded and said: "The men in the Prince of Qi's palace were guilty, and it was not the women who caused the trouble. They had no fault in the first place, so why should they be too harsh?" Qin Er jumped up anxiously and said, "Brother, you want to marry Ge Lao. You girl, but you watched me fall into the pit of fire and marry a sinner, brother, you are so cruel!"

Qin Er had completely forgotten that after he decided to get married, he often showed off to Qin Jing that he was the future prince-consort, but Qin Jing never cared about him at that time.

Qin Jing frowned and said, "Didn't you ask for this marriage yourself? When the head of Rongjia County fell into the water, and you rushed forward to save her, wasn't it because you loved her?"

When Qin Er heard this, he didn't know for a moment whether Qin Jing was being weird or if he really thought so.

Mrs. Xianguo said: "Even if your brother admires her, I will not allow the sinner to enter the house later!"

Qin Er glanced at his mother gratefully and said, "The past is the past, and today is today. I no longer like her."

Qin Jing frowned and said, "This is not what a gentleman would do to court Qin and Mu Chu."

Qin Er muttered: "I am not a gentleman!"

Qin Jing turned to Mrs. Xian Guo and said, "Mother, the road to Lingnan is long and full of miasma. The Rongjia County Lord is already weak. Why don't you let her marry her second brother in advance? This will be considered as a way to save our Xian Guo Palace." Even if you don't pity her for being a weak and helpless woman, you should still consider the reputation of the Duke of Xianguo.”

Since Mrs. Xianguo decided to break the engagement, she obviously had her own logic: "Now everyone in the capital knows that Prince Qi has lost the Sacred Heart. If we want to fulfill the engagement at this time, then it will be true." You have made the Holy Emperor dissatisfied, and you probably don't want our Duke Xianguo's Palace to end up with the same fate as Prince Qi's Palace. Don't worry, I will send someone to send some money to support you later, which can be regarded as the reputation of our Duke Xianguo's Palace for its kindness. "

Of course Mrs. Xianguo had no intention of giving away any money. She was always short-sighted and at this moment she just wanted to coax this old-fashioned eldest son over quickly.

Qin Jing knew that this was just her mother's perfunctory words, and said: "Your Majesty is kind and generous. He has already dealt with Prince Qi's house and will not be angry because of the younger generation. Mother, even if the second brother does not get married at this time, can he still live without it for the rest of his life?" Marriage? There is always a marriage."

Qin Er listened to his eldest brother talking about it for a long time, but he got annoyed and said: "Brother is so worried about the Rongjia County Princess and that she has nothing to rely on. Why don't you just marry her? The eldest brother wants to destroy the name of Duke Xianguo's promise to keep his promise. You can cancel the marriage in your hometown and marry someone else..."

Before Qin finished speaking, Mrs. Xianguo covered his mouth.

"What nonsense are you talking about! How dare you touch your eldest brother for the sake of a criminal!" Even if Mrs. Xianguo was short-sighted, she knew that this marriage in Ge's hometown was extremely important.

Qin Er's eyes flashed with hurt when his mother accused him so.

When Qin Jing heard this, she felt angry at first, and then as if she had thought of something, she suddenly looked at her mother steadily and said, "If we really want to break off the engagement, I can break off the engagement with my second brother. People can't believe it." If you don't, I will go and tell my father and grandmother to cancel my marriage first, and then my second brother's marriage.”

When Mrs. Xianguo heard this, she was shocked. She knew Qin Jing and knew that since the eldest son said this, even if he really thought so, he could really do such a thing.

"Ah Jing! Nothing is more important than you, isn't it just to fulfill the engagement? Mother will send someone to invite your future sister-in-law to come in! Don't be impulsive!" Mrs. Xianguo said.
