The divine doctor's concubine emptied the palace and went into exile

A man turned around and looked at everyone in Dingguo Palace with a mocking look in his eyes: "Why, are you surprised to see this prince?"

This person was none other than He Qing, the prince of Prince Xiao who had opposed He Jingheng at the wedding banquet.

"He Jingheng, have you fallen to the point where you need someone to carry you? I heard that both of your legs are completely useless."

He walked to He Jingheng and was about to pinch his leg when he heard He Jingheng say slowly, "He Qing, I see you don't want this hand anymore."

He Qing's hand paused, and the next moment, he became even more angry. He didn't expect that even though He Jingheng had become a disabled person, he would still be afraid of him.

"How dare you, a criminal like you, speak to me like that!" He Qing said angrily, "Come here, arrest him and give him fifty lashes."

Fifty lashes!

Isn't this life-threatening?

He was already seriously injured and hadn't recovered yet. If he was beaten fifty times, how could he still have the strength left?

"He Qing, after all, we both have the surname He, and you and Heng'er are brothers. Even if there were conflicts when you were young, you wouldn't want to kill him!" Qin stepped forward with tears in her eyes: "You often came to the palace to play when you were a child, have you forgotten?"

"Haha, auntie, that was something that happened 20 years ago. How dare you bring it up?" He said with contempt in his eyes, "Auntie, I haven't seen you for just a few days, and you look so haggard. If you hadn't come forward, I would have thought you were someone's grandmother."

"You!" Qin's face turned pale. She didn't expect He Qing to speak so mercilessly.

Zhang was listening from behind, with an unconcealable look of joy on her face.

This Prince Xiao came at the right time. It would be best to kill them all to vent his anger.

Especially the Qin family and He Jingheng.

Qin's mother's family was once very prosperous. Even though the old man of the Qin family has passed away, the Qin family is not as good as before, but it is still incomparable to their Zhang family. Qin married Prince Ding, and although she is not as favored as Aunt Zhao, her life is much better than hers. In addition, the old princess loves her, so Zhang has a lot of resentment towards her.

Not to mention He Jingheng.

He Jingheng has been the heir to the throne since she was born. She has made great achievements in battles over the years. In contrast, her son is not good-looking, and is far from her in every aspect. There have been people gossiping about her behind her back over the years, and she can only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Now that there is such a good opportunity for revenge, Zhang is naturally very happy.

He Qing looked at the women of the He family: "Who? Who is the concubine's daughter of Prime Minister Shang?" On the wedding day, Shang Ruoyi was wearing a veil, and he did not see her face.

Zhang was overjoyed when she heard this. Finally, someone came to deal with this unlucky star.

She quietly walked behind Shang Ruoyi and pushed her hard.

Shang Ruoyi didn't pay attention and was pushed by her and staggered. He Qing immediately noticed her.

"Are you the concubine daughter of Shang Xiangye?" He walked forward, looked her up with a lewd look, and then glanced at He Jingheng beside him: "I didn't expect that you are so lucky. Although you are a concubine daughter, you are even more beautiful than the top girl in Tianxiang Tower."

Comparing her with the girls from a brothel, I thought she would be ashamed and angry. After all, no girl from a noble family would like to be put together with the girls from a brothel.

But Shang Ruoyi's expression did not change at all, she just smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Prince Xiao would like this. It really is the result of the teachings of Prince Xiao!"

"What do you mean?" He Qing frowned. "Slandering the royal family is a serious crime! My father and mother are the most loving couple in the whole capital!"

"Oh, so the prince didn't know yet!" Shang Ruoyi smiled and said, "Isn't your mother the singer that Prince Xiao brought back from outside the domain? Prince Xiao had already decided on a wife, but he insisted on marrying your mother. But how could a legitimate daughter of a respectable family share a husband with a lowly singer and dancer? She would rather become a nun than marry. Since then, no one has been willing to marry their daughter into your family. After all, who wants to pay respects to a singer all day long?"

Her voice was quite loud, and it could be said that everyone in the inn heard it clearly.

When everyone heard this, they were all in disbelief.

Princess Xiao was actually a singer?

I have never heard of such a thing.

So Prince Xiao was born to a singer?

When they looked at He Qing again, there was a hint of contempt in their eyes.

You must know that Tianshun is extremely particular about status and identity. Not only is the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children clear, but birth is also extremely important.

Especially the royal bloodline, which cannot be taken lightly.

He Qing was furious when he heard this: "How dare you! You are talking nonsense! Where did you hear these nonsense from? How dare you put them on my head! I think you are tired of living."

"Nonsense? Prince Xiao said this is nonsense?" Shang Ruoyi sneered: "Prince Xiao, you know that you have committed a serious crime."

"What crime have I committed? You are already guilty, and now you are contradicting me. It seems that you and your disabled husband are tired of living!" He raised his arm and said, "Those who disrespect the royal family should be punished. I don't think they need to be exiled. They can be beheaded on the spot."

"That was nonsense the emperor said himself." Shang Ruoyi said slowly, "You mean the emperor's words were nonsense, right?"

what?

What did the emperor say?

He Qing frowned upon hearing this: "How could a little concubine like you have ever seen the emperor? This is nonsense!"

"I haven't seen it, but my father hasn't seen it either? The emperor told my father himself that Prince Xiao was the daughter of a singing girl. As for whether it is true, you can ask the emperor or the prince."

He Qing looked at her with a sullen expression, then looked at the people around him and said angrily, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you kill them all!"

Zhang was overjoyed when she heard this. Killing the two men would help her get rid of the hatred in her heart.

The officials around saw this and looked at each other, their faces full of embarrassment.

"What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for me to do it myself?"

Zhang Hu saw this and stepped forward, bowing and saying, "Your Highness, although the people in Dingguo Palace were exiled, they were not turned into commoners. If you want to kill them, you need the emperor's decree. I wonder if Your Highness has brought it?"

What? Imperial edict?

He Qing was stunned for a moment.

Where does he get the imperial edict?

I came here today just to say hello to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I wanted to take advantage of He Jingheng's downfall to ridicule him and vent the hatred I have been feeling for all these years.

"This prince came here in a hurry and has not yet sought the emperor's decree." He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice: "If I can't kill him, I can at least beat him!"

"He Qing, whose orders are you following?"

"He Jingheng, who told you to call me by my name? Fifty slaps on the face." He Qing shouted angrily, "Beat me hard."

The guard beside him stepped forward and was about to slap him when he saw He Jingheng raise his hand and grab the guard's wrist. The guard tried his best but couldn't move his hand at all.
