Honey room fragrance

Then the Empress Dong Linglan said with an unpredictable expression: "Was it the man you brought back who instigated you?"

Dong Ling Ji He knelt down and hid below, with a flustered look on his face: "No, it was my own idea."

Dong Linglan's majestic voice sounded: "Humph! How could I not know what kind of personality you have had since childhood? You don't have to cover for him."

"I have sent people to arrest him. He deserves death for instigating you to leave the palace."

Dong Ling Jihe looked up when he heard it, and the worry that he could not hide caught Dong Ling Lan's eyes.

Dong Linglan was immediately furious: "Look at how you look now, you don't look like a princess at all."

"I have told you that a ruler should not act on emotion. Look at your expression now. How is it different from that man trapped in love?"

Dong Ling Ji He: "Mother Queen, this time it is my fault!"

"No matter how the Queen Mother wants to punish Jihe, I have no complaints." Dongling Jihe prostrated himself towards Dongling Lan and confessed his crime.

The empress did not explain when she heard this. It was obvious that she was really in love with the man.

The empress's face suddenly turned grim: "It seems that man must die!"

"Come here, bring people up."

When Ye Honghu was brought into the hall, he saw Dong Ling Jihe kneeling on the ground.

Obviously he thought it was too simple. There is no trivial matter in the royal family. How could it be as simple as he thought.

Ye Honghu knelt down and saluted the empress above him: "Greetings, Her Majesty. This is all my idea and has nothing to do with Ji He."

"Your Majesty, if you want to punish me, punish me! As a man, I shouldn't be someone who hides behind a woman."

Dong Linglan felt a little admiration for what he said. He seemed to be a responsible person, but she didn't show it on her face.

Dong Linglan: "Then tell me, how should I punish you?"

Ye Honghu looked a little troubled: "Honghu, I will leave it to your majesty to decide."

Ye Honghu looked at Dong Ling Jihe who was worried about him, and nodded to her, telling her not to worry.

Dong Linglan said calmly: "Dong Ling Jihe acted impulsively and returned to the palace to reflect on his mistakes for a month. Ye Honghu instigated the princess to leave the palace and be punished with fifty strokes of the cane..."

Dong Ling Jihe wanted to plead for Ye Honghu, but Ye Honghu quickly stopped her with his eyes.

Ye Honghu knew very well that fifty lashes of cane might already be a mercy from the empress. If Ji He pleaded for him again, it might make the empress even angrier.

Ye Honghu bowed to Dong Linglan and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

After that, a guard came in and took Ye Honghu away. Soon, the sound of a scepter was heard outside the hall.

The sound of the scepter hitting Ye Honghu was like hitting her heart.

Dong Linglan looked at Dong Lingjihe below and said in a serious voice: "Remember... don't let others know what you are thinking."

Dong Ling Ji He saluted: "Yes, I understand!"

Dong Linglan: "Go down!"

Dong Ling Ji He knelt below without moving, and after hesitating for a long time, he spoke: "Mother Queen, I don't want to be the Crown Princess."

"Ji He begs the Queen Mother to give the position of Crown Princess to Sang. Sang Yu is more suitable than me."

Dong Linglan was furious when he heard this: "Dong Ling Jihe, do you think this is just a game?"

"You can be the one if you want to, or not if you don't want to?"

"I originally wanted to spare his life, but now I think you are really stubborn."

Dong Ling Ji He: "Mother Queen, I really don't understand why you insist on letting me be the Crown Princess."

This was the first time Dong Ling Ji He disobeyed Dong Ling Lan.

Dong Linglan: "It's because you came out earlier than Sang Yu. Besides, since ancient times, the eldest and the most virtuous have always been appointed as the heir."

"If I change the position of the Crown Princess to Sang Yu, do you know what kind of image you will have in the hearts of the court officials and the people?"

"They don't care whether you want to be the leader or not. They just think that you are incompetent and have done something wrong to anger me, so I will destroy you."

"Jihe, you have to know that I have high expectations of you. Don't let me down."

"You and Sang Yu are both my daughters. I know your personalities very well."

"Although Sang Yu is more ruthless to men than you, she cannot be so ruthless in the court."

"Although you were a little emotional this time, it's not all bad."

"I can agree with you and Ye Honghu, but you have to take the boy from the Xuan family into your harem."

Dong Linglan saw that Dong Lingjihe wanted to refuse, and immediately said: "Don't even think about refusing. If you still want Ye Honghu to stay alive, you should listen to me."

"You'll have three days to think about it. Tell me when you've made up your mind."

Dong Ling Ji He bowed his head and agreed: "Yes."

Dong Ling Jihe walked out of the palace and saw Ye Honghu, who was lying on a low stool, with his back beaten to a bloody mess. He felt extremely distressed.

Dong Ling Ji He ordered the guards to take Ye Hong Hu back to her palace: "Bring him to Weiyang Palace and summon the imperial physician to treat his injuries."

Ye Honghu lay dying in a side hall of the Weiyang Palace.

Dong Ling Ji He looked at the imperial physician, and the sight of his clothes being cut open on his back was blurry.

The imperial physician prescribed some medicine and left. Dong Ling Ji He stayed by his side and took care of him personally.

As the three days were about to expire, she looked at Ye Honghu lying on the bed and made a decision in her heart.

She went to the imperial study and told Dong Linglan her decision. She agreed to marry a man from the Xuan family.

Ye Honghu lay in bed for a month before the wound on his back scabbed over.

During this period, Dongling Jihe came to see him whenever she was free, and he didn't notice anything unusual about her recently.

He had been lying in bed for a month and felt that his bones were getting weak, so he needed to go out for a walk.

He limped out of the door, and as soon as he went out, he heard the servants decorating the palace.

As he turned the corner he heard them say, "The Crown Princess is going to marry Xuanye from the Xuan family."

"The banquet will be held in two days, so we have to prepare it well."

Ye Honghu walked over and asked, "Please tell me again, who wants to get married?"

When the servants saw him, they fell silent, for everyone knew that he was the eldest princess's favorite.

Seeing that all the servants kept their heads down and remained silent, Ye Honghu had a bad feeling in his heart.

After he asked about Dong Ling Ji He's whereabouts, he limped towards the study.

He walked to the study, knocked on the door and went in. When Dong Ling Ji He saw that it was Ye Hong Hu, he hurriedly walked over and offered his hand to support him.

"Why don't you rest in your room? Why did you come all the way to see me?"

Ye Honghu looked at Dong Ling Jihe without saying a word, and Dong Ling Jihe looked confused.

"What's wrong? Do you have something to ask me?"

Ye Honghu: "Jihe, I heard that you will marry someone else in a while."

"Jihe, tell me honestly, is it true or not?"

Dong Ling Jihe didn't expect that he would eventually know about this matter.

She hesitated and didn't know how to confess to him.

When Ye Honghu saw her like this, he knew that this was true.

She is really going to marry someone else...
