Chapter 87 How unreasonable
Duke Dingguo's kneeling body collapsed instantly. Sooner or later, the power over the military would have to be handed over, and he did not feel sad to hear the news.
Can be exiled to the frontier...
The borderland is so cold and bitter that even if he could ask someone to take care of He Congshuang on the way to exile, it would be of no use because his hands could not reach that far.
He was unwilling to give up, and glanced at Qi Binwei, seeking Qi Binwei's help.
Qi Binwei felt his gaze but ignored it.
As the least favored youngest son of Emperor Jing'an, and having grown up with Song Qinghong, what reason does he have to help He Congshuang?
What's more, it would be a joke for Duke Dingguo to ask him for help.
He was the only one who had no say in the court. If he spoke out to plead for mercy, I'm afraid Emperor Jing'an would not just punish Duke Dingguo.
When Duke Dingguo came to find him in the morning, he just wanted to drag someone down with him. Qi Binwei curled his lips slightly. How could he possibly ask for mercy for He Congshuang?
Duke Dingguo's face was gloomy, and he cast waves of pleading glances at Qi Binwei, but Qi Binwei ignored them all.
He understood a little bit in his heart, restrained the look in his eyes, and was unwilling to thank the emperor. He still wanted to fight for himself.
Then he said in a deep voice: "I heard that the Fifth Prince was also present at the time. I wonder what the Fifth Prince saw. Can you tell me one by one? I want to know the details of what happened that day. I believe the Fifth Prince."
Qi Binwei raised his eyelids. After all, Duke Dingguo still didn't let him go and wanted to drag him into the water. In this case, he told the truth one by one.
Qi Binwei stepped out and told him everything he had seen yesterday. "Father, my son's imperial concubine Chaoyan made an appointment with Song Qinghong to play on the canal. They were having a great time when He Congshuang rode towards Song Qinghong like a madman, intending to kill her. The horse was difficult to control, so he tried another plan but still failed. In a rage, he drew his sword and tried to kill Song Qinghong. Fortunately, I knew a little bit of martial arts and threw a stone at the sword, causing it to fall out of He Congshuang's hand. This saved both Song Qinghong and my son's life."
Duke Dingguo tried to find some flaws in Qi Binwei's words. It was his words that allowed him to find some excuse to exonerate He Congshuang.
"Your Majesty! As the Fifth Prince just said, my daughter rode towards Song Qinghong like a madman. Perhaps someone secretly plotted to murder my daughter, causing her to lose her mind and not be able to distinguish right from wrong, leading her to commit such a big mistake. I beg Your Majesty to forgive my daughter. The border is bitterly cold, how can a weak woman like her endure it! Your Majesty!"
Qi Binwei bent down and continued, "Father, I haven't finished speaking yet. When He Congshuang was captured, he looked at Song Qinghong with hatred in his eyes. I'm afraid it was because of what happened two years ago, or because of something that happened recently."
After saying this, he turned to look at Duke Dingguo and asked, "Does Duke Dingguo know about this?"
Duke Dingguo turned his head away guiltily, not daring to meet Qi Binwei's gaze. He knew what Qi Binwei was referring to, and he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb about this matter.
Even if you know, pretend you don't know.
"I don't know what the Fifth Prince is talking about?"
Prime Minister Song rolled his eyes, remembering what had happened before, and wanted to stop Qi Binwei, but it was too late. Emperor Jing'an had already become interested in what he said.
But if this happens, all these ministers will know about the incident, which is not a good thing for Song Qinghong.
On the other side, seeing that the topic was easily changed by Qi Binwei, Qi Rui, who was secretly observing, cursed in a low voice: "What an idiot!"
There was no need to pay attention to irrelevant matters, but he insisted on responding with a sentence or two, and unknowingly attracted the attention of Emperor Jing'an.
If he doesn't show up, this idiot will definitely make a big mistake. Now is the critical moment, and the chess piece of Duke Dingguo cannot be abandoned.
"Father, I have something to say." The third prince Qi Rui stepped forward and said loudly.
Qi Binwei lowered his head and sneered, and the person behind him came out.
My dear third brother, you are still so impatient, it was the same in the past and it is the same now.
"Rui'er, please step aside first. I want to know what the fifth prince knows." Emperor Jing'an looked at Qi Binwei with indifferent eyes.
Look, this is his father, an emperor who is high above everyone else, and now he cares about what a lowly being like him says.
Qi Binwei had gotten used to it. This man would never be kind to him, let alone call him by his name in such an intimate way.
"He Congshuang had invited people from aristocratic families to her birthday party. I went with the son of the Minister of Revenue that day. When the party was almost over, I met Song Qinghong. Seeing that she looked hurried, I was worried that she had encountered a difficult problem. I chatted with her for a few words, but she didn't say anything.
Later, I sent someone to investigate and found out that something had happened. He Congshuang bribed a stranger to enter the backyard and drugged Song Qinghong's wine, making her think she was drunk and rest in the backyard. The stranger was hired by He Congshuang to frame Song Qinghong and ruin her reputation. Song Qinghong felt sorry for her and didn't want to pursue the matter, but she didn't expect He Congshuang still held a grudge against her. "
Qi Binwei said loudly: "I have been friends with Song Qinghong for many years. How can I bear to see her being bullied like this? I just followed her wishes and never mentioned it. But now I have to mention it..."
Prime Minister Song narrowed his eyes slightly and sighed.
He knew that Song Qinghong had always liked the Fifth Prince. Now the Fifth Prince seemed to be considering her, but in fact it was just that the time had not come and he had never had the chance to say it out loud.
Now that it's all out, it will be difficult for Song Qinghong to get married in the future.
After hearing this, Emperor Jing'an was furious. "How can this be! Duke Dingguo, this is the good daughter you have taught! I know exactly what kind of person Song Qinghong is, and I would never do such a thing. He Congshuang's jealousy is obvious. She wanted to destroy Song Qinghong because she couldn't get Rui'er's love. She is truly your good daughter!"
Due to the emperor's rage, no one in the court dared to speak, not even to make a heavy breathing sound, for fear of being seen by Emperor Jing'an.
No one dared to speak in the audience. Emperor Jing'an changed the subject and looked at Prime Minister Song who remained silent. "Prime Minister Song, do you know about this?"
Prime Minister Song: "Your Majesty, I know. My daughter has suffered enough injustice. She just wants to keep things quiet. What happened before is nothing. I just hope Your Majesty can handle it impartially."
There was helplessness, heartache, and accusations against He Congshuang in his words.
Emperor Jing'an naturally knew what Prime Minister Song meant. Duke Dingguo was arrogant because of his achievements, so he should be punished this time. As for He Congshuang...
A dispensable person, the daughter of Duke Dingguo, doesn't want to do it, so let her be...
