Chapter 1325

Song Pingyan complained to Princess Yongle, "That woman is so nosy. First she went to the Marquis of Jian'an's mansion, and then... Hey, could it be that my sister-in-law told the princess about my affairs, and that's why the princess submitted the memorial?"

"Your sister-in-law doesn't know anything about your little thing." Song Shiguang was very annoyed and stood up. "I have to go and inform my father and mother."

Song Pingyan grabbed him and said, "Brother, wait a little longer. Maybe things are not that bad, and the Peng family won't tell anyone about it."

"Not telling the truth would be a crime of deceiving the emperor. Lord Peng is the Minister of Rites, unless he is completely unaware of it."

Now the brother and sister pinned all their hopes on the fact that Lord Peng was unaware of the situation, because no one had ever stipulated that a widow could not be a concubine.

But they forgot that even if a widow could become a concubine, she had to have a clean background and not be covered in filth.

Lord Peng knew about it, and thus Emperor Mingde also learned from Lord Peng that his stupid uncle had slept with another woman.

It's really hard to put into words.

He picked up the memorial on the imperial desk and looking at the beautiful handwriting, he knew that it was a memorial submitted by Princess Yongle on behalf of the prince.

The handwriting reflects the writer, it is clean and firm, and it is obvious that the writer was not affected by this incident at all.

Emperor Mingde raised his eyes and asked, "Peng Qing, do you think this is most likely a fire pit?"

Oh, now they are targeting the royal family. The Changshan Marquis’ Mansion is great.

I haven't had time to deal with these lazy people who have made no contribution to the country, but they bumped into me. I didn't even have the nerve to say that I was sleepy and someone handed me a pillow.

Lord Peng paused for a moment and repeated the words that Madam Mo had taught him. "Your Majesty, this woman had used similar methods on my frail nephew. Unfortunately, my nephew was not able to experience it, but he was also deeply shocked. He was a scholar, and because of his frail body, he had little contact with women, so how could he bear it..."

Every time he spoke a word, his face turned redder. He never thought that he, a minister at such an old age, would talk about these things with Emperor Mingde one day.

What misfortune for my family! What misfortune for my family!

Fortunately, Emperor Mingde remained calm when hearing such a romantic story. "If it is as Peng Qing said, and it is confirmed that Changshan Marquis's mansion set up a fire to confuse the bloodline of the royal family, I will punish him severely."

Lord Peng was shocked, "I am willing to help Your Majesty and personally lead people to investigate this matter thoroughly."

Emperor Mingde said, "Just let the Dongyu Guard investigate. It's better to avoid suspicion about your identity."

Lord Peng hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration of me."

Thank you, Your Majesty. I really don't want to investigate it myself because I would lose face.

The next day, Emperor Mingde summoned Prince Yongle and his wife to the palace for an audience.

The husband and wife both knelt down and paid their respects.

Prince Yongle's face was brown, and he was nervous. "Your Majesty, I have seen you. Long live the emperor."

Princess Yongle lowered her eyebrows and said, "Your Majesty, I greet you."

Emperor Mingde glanced at Prince Yongle with a frown, "Long live Prince Yongle! I have lost so many years of my life because I have an uncle like you."

Prince Yongle prostrated himself on the ground and pleaded guilty, saying, "I deserve to die a thousand times."

What on earth was going on? He was summoned to the palace early in the morning. He had no idea that he had made another mistake.

Emperor Mingde really looked down on his uncle. "If you hadn't been so smart this time and hadn't known to ask for the matter of taking a concubine, you would have been blamed for it by the time it was done and the reputation and bloodline of the royal family were tainted."

Prince Yongle finally understood that it was about taking a concubine. Could there be something wrong with this?
