The Doctor's Concubine: Kick the Scumbag King and I Want to Be a Dandy Girl in the Capital

Duan Cheng collapsed immediately after hearing what Yi Dingyao said:

"Your Majesty, I am the old minister who deserves to die. I shouldn't have deceived Prince Ping."

Prince An stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, my uncle has been very angry these days and he is in a dilemma.

That’s not all. Uncle Wang has to run to our house again and again. His legs were not in good condition to begin with, and now they hurt even more.

The last time he went to my house, I saw that Uncle Wang was limping a little. "

Yi Dingyao sneered, "This is all thanks to Prince Duan. If it weren't for him, the village doctor might have cured Uncle Wang's illness long ago, and Uncle Wang wouldn't have suffered this much."

Duan Cheng kowtowed repeatedly: "This old minister deserves death, this old minister deserves death!"

Prince Shun said, "You deserve to die. Not only did you bully and deceive us, but you actually plotted against my uncle."

Prince Shun said as he took out a memorial from his pocket:

"Your Majesty, this is the crime that Prince Duan has committed over the years. Even if we the Yi people owe him, it doesn't count if he neglects us the Yi people.

These crimes of embezzling huge sums of money, buying and selling official positions, oppressing the people, forcing good people to be slaves, and taking human lives are also unforgivable.”

Yi Dingyao glanced at him and said, "Duan Cheng, what do you have to say?"

Duan Cheng knocked his head to the ground and said, "Your Majesty, I deserve to die. However, my children are innocent. Please forgive them, Your Majesty."

Duan Cheng had no idea that what Yi Dingyao hated most was Duan Cheng's disrespect to the royal family and to him.

Just this one charge of "great disrespect" is enough to execute all nine generations of his clan.

Prince An said, "Your children are good. Your son thinks my daughter is too old, and you rush to marry her. But your son says, 'It's good enough to give her a concubine position. Why marry her?'

I, the princess of the Tianhe Dynasty, am meant to be his concubine?

Your daughter is even more amazing. She's already married, but she still says that she was destined to be an 'imperial concubine' and that it was the emperor who was blind and couldn't see her good points."

Prince Shun added, “Prince Duan’s little daughter is so domineering at such a young age.

Every time she sees my daughter, she asks her to salute her.

What they say is, 'We are all daughters of princes. My father's princehood was earned, but your father's princehood was obtained by necessity. It is worthless.'

You have to pay respect to me. I am the princess, and you are nothing.'

Every time, my daughter would burst into tears.”

Prince Shun is helping Prince An and he is lying with open eyes.

Why are you crying? The little princess Yi Kexin has that kind of temper. She always chases after Duan Cheng's little daughter and beats her.

But at this time, Duan Cheng didn't dare to say anything.

Several other ministers came forward and also wanted to talk about Duan Cheng's crimes.

Yi Dingyao waved his hand and said, "Come here, draft an order:

Duan Cheng disrespected the royal family and oppressed the people. His crimes were extremely heinous and unforgivable. He was stripped of his title as a king of a different surname and sentenced to execution.

All the members of the Duan Cheng lineage of the Duan family were demoted to commoners, and were not allowed to serve as officials or take the imperial examinations. "

Duan Cheng quietly searched for the second prince Yi Jingshi, but could not find him.

Yi Jingshi understands the emperor's thoughts best. If you neglected the emperor, asking for mercy may not be a big deal. But if you offended Prince Ping, you would be poking the emperor's lungs. Can the emperor forgive you?

At this time, he wouldn't care about Duan Cheng's life or death.

He is still very angry and has no place to vent it.

It was actually a good thing. If Duan Cheng married Prince An, it would not only consolidate his own throne, but also help Yi Jingshi.

But Duan Cheng didn't play a good hand well and revealed his own cards, which gave others an advantage.

That’s right, Duan Cheng is the second prince Yi Jingshi’s man.

After the imperial decree was issued, the palace guards stepped forward and took Duan Cheng away.

That night, Yi Jingshi sent people to kill Duan Cheng in prison, making it look like suicide.

Duan Cheng was taken away, and Prince An stepped forward and said:

"Your Majesty, my daughter Kezhen is already twenty years old this year. She has been in love with Xiu Lingce for many years and will not marry anyone other than Xiu Lingce. Please grant our marriage, Your Majesty."

When Yi Jingshi heard this, he was shocked. How could this be possible?

Xiu Lingce is a man of the Third Prince Yi Jingpin, and no matter what, Xiu Lingce cannot be allowed to marry Yi Kezhen.

Xiu Lingce's marriage to Yi Kezhen was equivalent to pulling Prince An into Yi Jingpin's camp.

Although Yi Jingpin's leg was broken, he was not dead. If his leg was healed, or if Yi Jingpin supported a brother to go against him, Yi Jingshi, it would be a huge threat to him, Yi Jingshi.

He would never allow this to happen.

Yi Jingshi was about to step forward to stop him, but unexpectedly Xiu Yuancang stepped forward:

"Prince An, this matter... you also know that my son Xiu Lingce has his own ideas, and I can't make this decision for him."

Prince An was furious: "Why, is the threshold of your Xiu family so high? Or is it that my daughter is not worthy of your son?"

Xiu Yuancang immediately said: "Prince An, that's not what I meant."

Prince An shouted, “Now, because of Duan Cheng’s disturbance, everyone in the capital knows that my daughter loves Xiu Lingce and refuses to marry anyone else.

If you don't agree, you're forcing my daughter to die."

Prince An was willing to risk everything for his daughter.

Prince Ping stood up and saluted Yi Dingyao:

"Your Majesty, this matter is all my fault, otherwise I would not have brought up these old accounts.

Kezhen is a good child, Your Majesty, please grant her wish."

Yi Dingyao looked at Uncle Wang's eager eyes, and also saw Yi Jingshi's anxious look.

He glared at Yi Jingshi fiercely and said casually:

"Prince An's daughter Yi Kezhen is dignified and virtuous, with a gentle character. She is specially betrothed to Xiu Lingce, the son of the Marquis of Zhenxi, as his principal wife. The marriage will be completed within the month."

Yi Dingyao's imperial edict said two things:

He granted marriage to Xiu Lingce and Yi Kezhen, and made Xiu Lingce the heir apparent of the Marquis of Zhenxi.

So, Prince An and Xiu Yuancang both knelt down to express their gratitude.

The second prince Yi Jingshi was so angry that his liver hurt. Xiu Lingce not only became the son-in-law of Prince An, but also the son of Marquis Zhenxi.

Prince Ping and Prince An achieved their goal today, and the uncle and nephew left the palace happily.

Xiu Yuancang, who was following behind the two princes, was naturally happy.

But because he had just pretended to reject the marriage proposal, his expression now was very subtle, looking happy yet somewhat embarrassed.

Yi Dingyao finally left Yi Jingshi:

"What's your attitude? Do you have any objection to my will?"

Even if Yi Jingshi had any opinions, he didn't dare to say them.

Yi Dingyao added: "The third son said to me, 'Father, I don't want to die, I want to live.'

Do you understand what I mean? Go back and reflect on your actions."

Yi Jingshi hurriedly left the council hall.

Yi Jingshi understood that Yi Dingyao knew everything he had done, and Yi Dingyao was trying to warn him.

Letting Xiu Lingce marry Prince An's daughter and naming Xiu Lingce the crown prince is equivalent to strengthening the power of the third brother Yi Jingpin, hoping that the third brother can save his life.

Yi Jingshi thought to himself, humph, it's okay if you don't block my way.

If you dare to block my way, I will kill gods and Buddhas.
