After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

Xiao Minshen put down the teacup in his hand.

"Have my brother-in-law and my concubine discussed this?"

Liu Zongyuan stood up straight.

"I must take my sister away today."

"What about you?" Xiao Minshen looked at Liu Shishi.

Liu Shishi's tears kept flowing, "Prince, I..."

"Since you have made your decision, it is my turn to speak now."

"Concubine Liu, you framed me to save your brother. I grant you a white silk!"

"Fulu, let someone execute it!" Xiao Minshen said sternly.

"King Qi, how dare you!"

Liu Zongyuan protected Liu Shishi behind him.

"Someone come!" he shouted.

A group of soldiers rushed in and pointed their knives at Xiao Minshen.

Fulu and several guards surrounded Xiao Minshen to protect him.

Liu Zongyuan took Liu Shishi and stood in the team of soldiers.

"Prince Qi, please write the divorce agreement immediately. Otherwise, I will have people destroy Prince Qi's mansion!"

Xiao Minshen straightened his back.

"This prince will not write a divorce letter. Since Concubine Liu is this prince's concubine, she is my person in life and my ghost in death!"

"Don't even think about it!"

As Liu Zongyuan spoke, he snatched the knife from the soldier next to him and slashed at Xiao Minshen.

Fulu and others hurriedly protected Xiao Minshen and retreated step by step.

"clang!" Mo Yi appeared.

As the swords touched, there was a sharp sound.

"King Qi, how dare you kill an official appointed by the imperial court!"

"Someone, demolish the Prince Qi's mansion!"

Xiao Minshen looked coldly at the soldier opposite.

"I am a prince, who dares to do this?"

The soldiers on the opposite side looked at each other, not knowing who to listen to.

Liu Shishi knelt down in front of Xiao Minshen.

"My Lord, please let me go."

"I am still young, and I don't want to be a widow for the rest of my life!"

The King of Qi exuded a coldness from head to toe.

"Why? Your brother gave you a better place to go? Are you impatient?"

Liu Shishi's face suddenly turned pale.

She shook her head desperately, "No, no!"

"Then I can't let you go!"

"Mo Yi, no matter what, today, Concubine Liu is not allowed to step out of Prince Qi's mansion!"

"Yes!" Mo rushed forward with his sword raised.

"Stop him quickly!" Seeing that the situation was not right, Liu Zongyuan pulled Liu Shishi and ran out.

Mo Yi was stopped by the soldiers.

Outnumbered, Mo Yi was finally defeated and retreated to Xiao Minshen's side.

Xiao Minshen was a prince, and the soldiers did not dare to make things difficult for him without the emperor's orders.

They all turned and left.

"Your Majesty, have you expected that Liu Zongyuan would frame you for this?"

Xiao Minshen sat down and motioned to Fulu to change the cup of tea.

He shook his head, "I am not sure either."

Xiao Minshen knew that the Duke was actually the Third Prince's man.

Over the years, he has been keeping a low profile just to pass information to the third prince.

Therefore, even though he knew that Liu Zongyuan was attached to the crown prince, the Duke did not stop him.

The Duke is cunning and he knows that one should not put all his eggs in one basket.

If the prince can ascend the throne, Liu Zongyuan will benefit as well, and the Duke's Mansion will also benefit.

In case, the third prince succeeds to the throne, he can also keep the Duke's Mansion.

If the Prince of Qi succeeds to the throne, the Duke's Mansion will also be able to get a share of the pie thanks to their marriage relationship.

These plans of his were thought out by Xiao Minshen.

After Liu Zongyuan was imprisoned, the Duke did not ask for help from others, which made Xiao Minshen suspicious.

Coincidentally, the secret guards discovered that the Duke had been in prison and had a secret conversation with Liu Zongyuan for a cup of tea.

Since the decision has been made to sever ties, why would the Duke, who is so careful about his reputation, negotiate with a prisoner for so long?

Coincidentally, Concubine Liu came to ask for help.

He just went with the flow and asked Liu Shishi to test the Duke.

Sure enough, the Duke made the decision.

And Liu Zongyuan lived up to his expectations and put the blame on him.

"Your Majesty, since the Emperor has ordered us to go to the fiefdom, are we going to pack our luggage now?"

"No hurry, wait a bit, someone else will be here soon."

Xiao Minshen drank his tea slowly.

"Your Majesty, there is another person coming to the palace. This time, it is Eunuch An."

Xiao Minshen stood up.

"We greet the King of Qi." Eunuch An saluted with a serious face.

Standing next to him was Liu Zongyuan who had just escaped.

"Prince Qi, this is the divorce letter from the Emperor, please sign it!"

Liu Zongyuan handed the divorce letter in his hand to Xiao Minshen.

Xiao Minshen didn't even look at him and spoke to Eunuch An.

"I want to see my father!"

Eunuch An looked embarrassed.

"The Emperor is not in good health and will not meet with the Prince."

Xiao Minshen said coldly, "I want to meet with my father. If it is really what my father said, I will sign it."

Eunuch An hesitated and did not answer, so Liu Zongyuan quickly agreed.

"I will take you to see the Emperor."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

Xiao Minshen and Eunuch An looked at each other, then looked away.

At this time, the emperor was in Concubine Lin's palace, asking about the child's condition.

"Your Majesty, the prince is very well behaved, and I am not afraid of pregnancy."

"The old man said that this kind of child is here to repay his gratitude. Your Majesty will wait to enjoy his blessing in the future! He will definitely be very filial to you in the future!"

The emperor was so delighted by what she said that he couldn't help but reward her with a lot of things.

"Your Majesty, the King of Qi requests an audience!"

"not see!"

The emperor was in high spirits and didn't want to see anyone.

"Your Majesty, please go and take a look. Perhaps the King of Qi has something else to ask?"

Concubine Lin gave considerate advice.

The emperor returned to the throne room very unhappy.

"My son, I pay my respects to my father!"

Xiao Minshen knelt down.

"What do you want?" the emperor asked calmly.

Xiao Minshen stood up and placed the divorce papers in his hand on the dragon table.

"Father, this is what I want to ask you."

The emperor took a look and asked, "Is there a problem?"

Xiao Minshen's face was filled with sadness.

"Concubine Liu is the concubine bestowed upon me by my father. I am very happy."

"But, Father, why do you want me to sign the divorce agreement now?"

The emperor felt a little embarrassed.

"I have granted you marriage, but you didn't consummate the marriage with her. You can't let someone keep you company forever, can you?"

The emperor looked at Xiao Minshen's stunned expression and felt inexplicably pleased.

"Since you don't like it, why not part ways amicably and sign the divorce papers? It will be better for everyone."

Xiao Minshen was distraught.

"Father, we are all princes, but the others have already had wives."

"And I, your son, didn't have my first concubine until I was twenty."

"Father gave Liu Shishi to me as a concubine. I was so happy that I didn't sleep for several days and nights."

"Now, my father wants me to sign a divorce agreement..."

"That's enough, that's enough!" The emperor looked impatient.

"Didn't you say before that Concubine Shen should be promoted to the principal wife? I agree!"
