After the reconciliation, the villainous stepmother has blessed the world!

Emperor Yongrui gave the order, and when someone came forward to take the blood, the palace man touched the abdomen of the sacred deer. His hands shook and he quickly knelt down.

Suxin sat next to Emperor Yongrui with a calm look on his face.

"Your Majesty, this sacred deer... seems to be pregnant with a fawn..." the palace man said tremblingly.

This dynasty has always had the habit of hunting in winter, just because the prey lacks food in winter and is less likely to reproduce. But in spring and summer, hunting is less common, because once a pregnant beast is shot, it will harm the world.

When Lin Wang Xiao Huan heard this, his expression changed drastically: "Father, it's definitely impossible. From what I looked at before, it didn't - it didn't look like she was pregnant with a baby deer..."

Shooting the sacred deer is indeed a symbol of good luck, especially the fact that the deer's blood can be used to cure the father's illness, which is a good sign. But now that the sacred deer is pregnant with a child, this is a sin and is taboo.

Moreover, this sacred deer...

He brought it in by himself, how could he know whether he was pregnant or not?

Sure enough, Emperor Yongrui's face turned cold. He stepped forward, took a closer look, and said, "Take the sacred deer down and bury it."

"The protrusion of the belly of this sacred deer is so obvious. You have been hunting for many years and you still can't see it? I think you are seeking profit but not caring about brotherhood, so you shot the sacred deer blindly! According to my decree, King Lin is in trouble. He, who has no brothers in his heart, deprives him of his title and takes back his fiefdom! Deprive him of his authority, and after returning to the capital, the government will reflect on itself!" Emperor Yongrui said without mercy.

"Father!?" Prince Lin was really frightened and shouted in panic.

When he was fifteen years old, his father saw that he was sensible and capable, so he granted him the throne, indicating that he had the right to participate in political affairs. Although the other royal brothers later also became kings, and even the earliest one decided on the throne when he was eight or nine years old. , but no one can compare with the importance his father paid to him back then!

Just for this little thing, take back the throne?

Su Xin watched his father's performance calmly.

I can't tell whether this deer... is the same one as before.

"Take it down!" Emperor Yongrui said again. Still feeling that it was not enough, he called the other princes who had been running out hunting in the past few days without asking for mercy from the seventh prince, and severely reprimanded them. The second prince was fined with a salary. Everything else needs to be reflected upon after returning to Beijing.

Anyway, he just takes the opportunity to get angry and try every means to torment people.

Suxin drank tea in silence.

After a long time, everyone left, and Su Xin also planned to leave. Apparently Emperor Yong Rui seemed to think that she was "simple-minded", so he kept her again.

"Does Xin'er think my punishment is too severe?" Emperor Yongrui looked at her curiously.

"It's not serious." Suxin thought about it for a while and finally said what he thought.

"Your eldest brother doesn't think so." Emperor Yongrui said again.

"Father is not a mediocre person. Since he is punished like this, it must be because the royal brothers have done a lot of wrong things in the past. Taking advantage of the fact that some ministers are not here and there are less arguments and arguments, we can do some teachings. It's a good move." Su Xin said seriously, and after finishing speaking, he added: "I don't want to deceive my father. After reading books for so many years, my life is quite clear. Simple and stupid people can understand these things.”

Her current innocence was just what her father thought.

She didn't want to set up this character.

Now that her father is satisfied with her, she should say what needs to be said, so that there will be less trouble in the future.

Emperor Yongrui looked at her in surprise, and then thought for a moment: "I never thought that among all the children like me, Xin'er understands me best!"

"I asked people to investigate the matter of you falling into the water. The person who shot the arrow couldn't find it out. The more things that can't be found, the more problematic it is. Therefore, when I punished Lao Qi, I also asked people to investigate the recent princes. Dongxiang, when you, the eldest brother, first came to the hunting ground, you had already brought some prey, but now those prey have disappeared. I severely punished the person who was close to him, and then I found out that there was a white deer among them."

"I don't know what he wants to do, but his behavior is weird. I don't know what he is thinking about. As my son, he thinks about these cunning and sinister things all day long. How can I spare him!" Emperor Yongrui became more and more angry as he spoke. .

With a "pop", the wine in the wine glass splashed out.

The arrow couldn't appear out of thin air, and these sons couldn't find out which one had done it. In this case, whoever did the most boring things behind his back would be whose fault it was.

"I don't want to punish my son like this, but you, the eldest brother, have behaved more and more badly in recent days, which makes me very disappointed." Emperor Yongrui said again.

Su Xin felt that she should say something to comfort her father.

"My father could have punished him directly, but he still bothered to give him time to reflect... It's already very kind." Suxin struggled for a moment and said.

"What you are saying is that I also thought that if he could restrain himself a little in the past two days, I would not punish him severely. I didn't expect that he would be so proud and arrogant! He has no eldest son style at all!" Emperor Yongrui said again.

Prince Lin has always been at odds with Lao Si and Lao Qi, but now that he sees Lao Qi being punished, his tail is almost raised to the sky.

Not only that, Suxin fell into the trap, but as an elder brother, he didn't even know to express condolences. He only asked his servants to send some things. Shanyao had been ill in bed for the past two days, and he could only see objects but not people, and his mind was filled with only things. How to find the sacred deer and make meritorious service.

Suxin nodded in agreement with his father's words.

Her father spoke to her a lot more. After that, Su Xin felt that Prince Lin was not unjust at all.

The father is angry, not only because of the hunting grounds, but also because Prince Lin's palace in the capital has not been peaceful recently.

The eldest son of Prince Lin is also the eldest grandson of his father. He has been in poor health recently. The reason is that Prince Lin kicked his concubine in the garden in full view of everyone. The concubine slipped and her blood flowed to the ground, which made the emperor's eldest grandson look at her. At this time, the emperor's eldest grandson was still very young and must have suffered from epilepsy.

This matter was not easy to publicize, so it did not cause a big fuss.

But the anger in my father's heart was brewing, and he took advantage of this opportunity to express it directly and make dyed deer to torment people.

"My only regret in this life is that I can't have a legitimate son. If you are a man and so smart, why would I be so worried?" Emperor Yongrui drank a few more drinks, and what he said to Su Xin was a bit... lethargic. People dare not listen.

But Su Xin felt it. Her father really regarded her as his own. She listened to all the things he should know and shouldn't know!

"My father drank too much, Mr. Cao, please wait for my father to rest." Su Xin said.

If you continue to listen, life will be difficult in the future.

When Su Xin came out of the father's tent, not far away, the eldest brother was kneeling there with red eyes. Next to him was Gu Mingyi, who came after hearing the news. She was wearing a cherry red dress and was well-dressed. It's thin, you can tell, and it came out in a hurry.

"Is it you?" Su Xin left directly, but when King Lin saw that Su Xin had just come out at this time, he immediately rushed over to stop him, "It was you who said something to Father, right?"
