To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

The corners of Imperial Concubine Qi Jing's mouth twitched. She slowly raised her head, tears welling up in her calm eyes. She said, "I miss you all the time. I failed to take good care of my son. I beg Your Majesty to punish me."

There are countless complaints in my heart.

I can only mutter to myself.

Because her man is the emperor and the man of many women, she can't nag, and men like to be spoiled.

Emperor Xu sighed and said, "It's because I didn't take good care of my son."

Afterwards, the palace fell into silence.

Everyone knew that the emperor was weighing the pros and cons. This matter was neither big nor small. Emotionally, he was leaning towards the imperial concubine, but rationally, it was difficult for him to make a decision.

Jiang Jing was the first to break the silence: "I, your humble servant, beg the emperor to make a decision for Lord Jiu."

Li Ningwan then expressed her position: "If the emperor cannot make decisions for me, and I cannot vent my anger for you, I am as low as dust in your heart. I want to retire and return home."

Prime Minister Zhou sneered a few times and took out a memorial from his arms.

"I have prepared my resignation letter. Please allow me to return home."

Li Ningwan: “…”

What an old fox! Why didn’t he think of writing a letter of guilt before coming here?

Li Ningwan gritted his teeth and kowtowed, saying, "What I am saying is that the body should be buried in my hometown."

Prime Minister Zhou paused, and gritted his teeth: "It's not impossible for this old minister. Lord Li said he was eager to save his daughter, and this old minister also loves such a good son-in-law. Your Majesty, please make the decision!"

Emperor Xu was terribly depressed. Facing the threats from two important ministers, his annoyance was infinitely magnified.

He squeezed out from between his teeth: "Threatening me?"

Everyone: "We dare not."

Emperor Xu stood up and first carefully examined Prince Chang's injuries. He put his hands behind his back and had already made a decision: "The Second Prince behaved improperly, provoked many times, and did not repent. But considering that he has learned his lesson, he will be punished for half a year! Li Ningwan will be punished for one year, Jiang Jing will be punished for two years, and demoted to a commoner. He will be employed again after passing the imperial examination!"

Several people looked at each other. They had thought they would be beaten, but they had never thought that the emperor would solve it this way.

There were hurried footsteps outside the door.

The queen came with the prince's family. She glanced at Jiusu and nodded at him, "Your Majesty, I want to see you. I have something important to tell you!"

Emperor Xu frowned. Are they all coming?

He said sarcastically: "Today is a really good day. Let the Queen come in. I want to see what trouble she can cause."

Eunuch Shang opened the door of the imperial study and invited the Queen's family in. His eyes fell on Jiusu. Alas, all the things that happened recently were because of Jiusu.

The harem has already started to spread.

'Beauty is a disaster'

'Disaster for the country and its people'

These four words.

He reminded: "The emperor is angry."

"Thank you." Jiusu replied softly.

People should do more good deeds, maybe they will be rewarded one day.

Empress Xu knelt on the ground, ignoring everyone, her eyes full of grief. Today, Xi Xiang gave her a "delicate and loving" makeup.

"Your Majesty, I ask you to make the decision."

Eunuch Shang respectfully placed the things in the Queen's hands on the table.

I stood aside, not daring to make a sound.

Emperor Xu opened it and wanted to take a casual look at it, but he saw something shocking. His face turned so dark that it seemed as if ink could drip out. He picked up the inkstone and threw it at Prince Chang.

It hit him right on the left side of the head.

Ink splashed on his face.

"Take this rebellious son out and chop him off!"

"You bastard! I love you and protect you, but you treat me like this! Are you still human? No matter how many mistakes you have made, I only fined you your salary! Do you think I don't have a temper?"

The emperor's anger left Concubine Qijing confused.

But when she saw the Queen, she guessed most of what was going on. She grabbed the Emperor's bright yellow sleeve and said, "Your Majesty! What did Rong'er do wrong to make you insult her like this? Do you hate me? I will die to apologize!"

The coldness on the emperor's face remained unchanged.

The imperial concubine glanced at her trembling son, hardened her heart, and ran towards the west pillar, hitting her head against it and her body sliding down.

"Qi Jing!" Emperor Xu quickly ran over and picked up the woman with blood all over her head. "Why are you doing this?"

The imperial physician is waiting outside.

He ran to Prince Chang, but was scolded by the emperor: "That bastard is dead, so he is dead. Come here and show it to the imperial concubine!"

The imperial physician cleaned and bandaged her wound, then knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty is seriously injured. You need to stay in bed and recuperate. You can't be stimulated any more."

He carried the medicine box, left this "place of trouble", stood at the door, and listened to the announcement with his eyes closed.

Jiusu looked at Jiang Jing with helplessness in his eyes.

Even the Queen did not guess that the Imperial Concubine would do such a thing. This collision was to forcibly extend the life of Prince Chang. Queen Xu called softly: "Your Majesty..."

But before she could finish her words, Concubine Qijing interrupted her.

Qi Jing's eyes were red. She held the emperor's hand tightly and choked up, "If you wanted to chop off Rong'er's head, why did you save me?"

Emperor Xu said distressedly: "I was just angry, I didn't want the second son to die, it's just that what he did was too much!"

Concubine Qijing placed her hand on the emperor's cheek and asked affectionately, "Do you still remember what we agreed upon when I was pregnant?"

"I remember, I remember." Emperor Xu was stunned, his back became a little lonely, "I remember."

Concubine Qi Jing pleaded, "The agreement is void. I just want Rong'er to live well. Is that ok, Your Majesty?"

"it is good."

His voice became extremely hoarse.

Then, Emperor Xu left only the Queen behind and asked everyone else to leave the hall, obviously he had something to say.

Outside the palace, snow was blowing in the wind.

Imperial Concubine Qi Jing raised her head, looked at the others with pride, stared at the Crown Princess's belly and said, "Crown Prince, I won't bother with you, but you want to harm my son?"

Xu Qihuai held his breath.

"It was Second Brother who started it first."

Concubine Qi Jing smiled and said, "Really? When your mother comes out later, you can ask her carefully whether it was Rong'er who did it? Will the emperor punish her?"

She sneered a few times, touched her head and left.

Jiusu turned around and looked at the two figures in the imperial study, and said, "It seems that today's matter will be left unresolved. Could it be that the imperial concubine has something on the emperor?"

Xu Qihuai closed his eyes and staggered a few steps dizzy.

Blood dripped down his nose: "Oh, father is really partial."

Qiu Ying held him and reminded him anxiously, "Your Highness, this is the Imperial Palace, you should be careful with your words. Come, I will help you to the side hall to rest."

She touched her belly.

It's a dull pain.

Jiusu handed over the pregnancy-preserving pills.

Qiu Ying gave the prince a grateful look and helped him to the side hall. She took the medicine and came out, took Jiusu aside, and asked softly, "Are you hiding something from me? I haven't seen my sister for a long time, and every time I see my father, he is always melancholy."

Jiusu said: "I think this matter should not be said by me."

Qiu Ying asked: "Did something happen to my sister?"

Jiusu shook his head, "You can ask the Marquis, but you are still trying to protect your pregnancy, so I suggest you don't know. If you must know, then make all preparations before finding out the truth."
