Chapter 1236

The previous princess died by jumping into a well, having just given birth to her third child. So the third child became the obsession of the King of Duyang, and he spoiled her very much.

Emperor Mingde did not want to interfere in other people's family affairs, but since she came to him for help, he did not hesitate to mock her in his heart, "I heard that when she was giving birth, you were taking a concubine, and that's why she jumped into the well out of grief?"

This! Prince Duyang inexplicably heard the displeasure in Emperor Mingde's tone, and thought to himself, could it be that Emperor Mingde had some dealings with the late princess?

He collected his thoughts and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty also knows that since I got married, I have only had one princess consort, and the position of concubine has been vacant for many years. Up to now, I have only had two princess consorts in total."

Emperor Mingde raised his eyes, expressionless, "In other words, it was because you took a concubine that the late princess was displeased and caused her to jump into the well? Then you must have loved this concubine very much, why didn't you make her your wife?"

Prince Duyang was stunned by Emperor Mingde's series of questions. He wanted to ask, you have left the throne vacant for many years, why don't you just appoint one of your concubines as your queen?

But he didn't dare! The king is the king, and the minister is the minister. Don't think that just because he is the king's uncle, he can question him casually without regard for the etiquette between the king and the minister.

What about Prince Anping, who was Emperor Mingde's younger brother? Wasn't he also thrown into prison awaiting trial?

Prince Duyang was sweating on his forehead. He thought it was a simple matter to marry a divorced woman, but he didn't expect that even his old affairs would be dug up.

Emperor Mingde saw Prince Duyang bow his head and said nothing, and his voice became more serious. "If I am not mistaken, you saw that Tang raised two good children, both of whom are outstanding. So you want to marry her to raise your daughter? Your daughter is naughty and you can't teach her well, so you want to throw her to someone else?"

When I thought about the fat boy being bullied by Prince Duyang's daughter and having no power to fight back, I felt an inexplicable pain in my heart.

He said calmly, "I will not allow anyone's daughter to have privileges and run rampant on my northern wing. If a daughter is not educated, it is the fault of her father. If I find that she has violated the law, I will not care about family ties or old feelings. Don't say that I didn't remind Uncle Wang early! Uncle Wang, please go back. I have no control over this marriage!"

After a pause, he said solemnly, "I also advise Uncle Wang to give up this idea as soon as possible. Don't let your good days end!"

Prince Duyang returned to his fiefdom in disgrace. His fiefdom was not far from the capital, and because he had made meritorious contributions in his early years, he could enter the capital at will.

He came here to participate in the "Dust Cleansing Project". He thought he was a hero and wanted to ask for a reward, but this was his fate.

But he did not dare to have any dissenting thoughts. He knew that the plan of clearing the dust this time, in addition to eliminating the Queen Mother's party, was actually to intimidate these neutral princes and dignitaries.

From the beginning to the end, he did not know the content of the "Purging Plan". It was not until the day when the Empress Dowager was executed that he realized how sophisticated Emperor Mingde's methods were.

Nowadays, many princes have returned to their fiefdoms obediently, ready to manage their fiefdoms honestly and diligently, and pay more taxes to the court to show their abilities.

The sister-in-law Fan Wenzhen, the beautiful lady who had cheated her brother-in-law, only realized at this time that the "old lady" in the broken carriage was of such a prominent identity.

And that man with outstanding appearance and extraordinary temperament is most likely the current Emperor Mingde.

When she heard her sister say this, she was so scared that her legs went weak. She felt like a clown.

Fan Wenzhen was being held in the Dongyuwei cell awaiting trial at this time, and she stammered, "Sister, will my brother-in-law be okay?"

Her sister Princess Anping was so angry that she slapped her in the face, "You are incapable of doing anything, but always capable of causing trouble! If you don't look down on others, will you die if you don't cause trouble?"
