The Princess Kicks Down the Protagonists
Chapter 31: Demoted to the Cold Palace
Watching Erkang enter the Yangxin Palace, Ertai was so anxious that he jumped up and down.
"My brother has lost his mind and will definitely anger the emperor. What should I do?"
Fortunately, Yongqi remained calm and said, "Ertai, go home and tell Lord Fu about this. I'll wait and see what the situation is and then go to the Emperor to plead for mercy."
Seeing that Yongqi was willing to plead for Erkang, Ertai was deeply moved. He thanked him and ran out of the palace.
Inside the Yangxin Palace, the Emperor was angrily scolding Erkang: "Don't think I'm easy to fool. I've already investigated the details of the situation. I was thinking that since you're young and this is your first offense, I'd let you off lightly. But you're so ungrateful, yet you dare to come and complain to me? I don't think you need to be a second-class guard anymore. Go guard the cold palace."
Erkang also came to his senses when he heard the emperor asking him to guard the cold palace.
Watching the emperor walk away in a swagger, Falcon crawled a few steps on his knees and tried to speak, but his voice was hoarse and he couldn't utter a word.
He's done.
He's really finished.
Once she was demoted from the imperial court to the cold palace, she would never be able to make a comeback.
Erkang knelt on the ground dejectedly. The emperor was so cruel. Sending him to guard the cold palace was the last thing a guard should do after making a mistake.
Yongqi, who was waiting outside the palace, was also shocked when he heard this. The emperor had always favored Erkang, and now he was really angry.
Just like concubines sent to the cold palace, the guards guarding the cold palace are also the same as those who were demoted to the cold palace. Generally, they are guarded by blue-feathered guards who have been demoted from the third-class guards who have made mistakes.
Few people who go there can climb back up, and their careers are completely over.
Yongqi knew that he could not go to plead for mercy, otherwise he might be implicated.
He stepped forward to support the dazed Erkang and sighed.
"Ertai has gone back to discuss countermeasures with Lord Fu. You should go back quickly. Perhaps it is still possible to salvage the situation."
Erkang looked up at Yongqi, his eyes filled with loss and dejection: "Fifth Prince, did I really do something wrong?"
Yongqi was silent. If someone else bullied Xiaoyanzi, he would definitely not tolerate it. But now it became a mystery whether Jingyan bullied Ziwei or not.
Each side held its own opinion, and even he didn't dare to think deeply about it, let alone Erkang?
Now that things have come to this, we might as well think about how to remedy the situation.
Erkang returned to the Fu family in a daze.
"Kneel down!"
The Fulan couple and Ertai were waiting for him in the main hall.
Ertai had already told the situation to the Fulan couple. They were shocked and obviously couldn't believe that their eldest son, who had always been mature and steady, could do such a thing.
After Fulun inquired with his familiar father-in-law, he found out that what Ertai said was true.
For a moment, Fulun felt his blood boiling and he wanted to beat this unfilial son to death.
"Father..." Erkang slowly knelt down with a sad look on his face.
"What a good thing you did! You've completely disgraced me!"
"Father, my son has his reasons. It was Jingyan who went too far! How could I let her bully Ziwei? Ziwei is obviously the real golden branch and jade leaf. How could she, the daughter of a prince, bully the real pearl!"
Fu Lun slammed the table and shouted angrily.
"Don't think I don't know that Princess Zhao went to help Miss Ziwei! You can't tell right from wrong, and you still think you're right?"
Erkang snorted coldly.
"All of this is just Jingyan's rhetoric. The emperor may be deceived, but I, Falcon, will not!"
"You!" Fulun pointed at Erkang and was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Fu Jin supported Fu Lun to help him calm down, then turned to comfort Erkang.
"No matter what the truth is, what matters is what the emperor believes, just like Xiaoyanzi is now a princess and Ziwei is a palace maid."
Erkang raised his head stubbornly. His beloved Ziwei was obviously a daughter of a noble family. Why, why did it have to be like this?
If Ziwei had successfully recognized her father, the situation would definitely not be what it is now, and Princess Jingyan would not dare to bully her.
Fu Lun calmed down and asked, "How will the emperor deal with you?"
He was prepared for Erkang to be demoted to another level.
But Falcon lowered his head
I only heard him mutter in a low voice: "Cold Palace."
"Puff." Fulun couldn't hold it in any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Everything that happened today was a huge blow to him.
"Ama!" "Master!"
Ertai and Fu Jin stepped forward to support Fulun.
Erkang knelt on the ground and wanted to call for a doctor, but was stopped by Fulan.
"No... I'm fine... It will be fine after a while... cough cough cough."
If outsiders knew that Erkang was so angry that he vomited blood, he would be accused of being unfilial again.
Ertai felt sad when he saw his father vomiting blood out of anger but still resisting calling a doctor.
Ama really works hard for my elder brother.
After a pause, Fu Lun clutched his chest and cursed angrily, "Even if what you said is true, the emperor could have demoted you to a second-class guard. Why did you dare to cause trouble before the emperor? The emperor saved face for our Fu family by not chopping you off!"
Erkang still looked stubborn after hearing this, "I did nothing wrong in the first place. Why should I be demoted just because Jingyan complained?"
Seeing that Falcon still didn't understand where he was wrong, Fulun beat his chest in anger.
"Do you still think that the quarrel between you and Princess Jingyan is just a trivial matter?"
Erkang murmured, "Isn't it?"
Fu Lun felt a fishy taste in his mouth and felt his blood rushing up again.
He swallowed the fishy-sweet taste in his mouth and pointed at Erkang, so angry that he couldn't speak.
"you!"
He was almost pissed off at Erkang. He used to be so mature and steady, but now he was getting worse and worse.
Ertai couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Brother, you went to the Imperial Court and made a scene, saying you didn't accept the Emperor's decision. This is a disrespect to the Emperor's authority and extremely disrespectful! If the Emperor really makes a fuss about it, he'll kill all your clans!"
Falcon still stiffened his neck and refused to admit it: "What have you got to do here? You don't understand anything. Don't interrupt."
"You..." Ertai was so angry that he was about to argue but was interrupted by Fulun.
"Isn't what Ertai said right? Who gave you the guts to challenge the imperial power? How many heads do you have left to chop off?"
Fu Lun then looked at Er Tai and said, "You don't have an official position yet. The Fu family still relies on your brother. You should ask the Fifth Prince for help. That's the right thing to do."
Ertai felt a little disappointed when he heard this, as if in the eyes of his family, he was always inferior to his brother, and his only use was to serve as the Fifth Prince's study companion and bring his brother and the Fifth Prince closer together.
Fortunately, he was used to it and nodded obediently: "Fifth Prince said he would plead for my brother."
"That's good. Erkang is the hope of our family and the pillar of the future. Although this matter seems serious, it is not irreparable." Fu Jin said and glanced at Fu Lun.
The emperor only said that Erkang would be a guard in the cold palace, but he did not say that he would be demoted to a blue-feathered guard. This might be the face and last hope that the emperor left for the Fu family.
Fu Lun sighed, "For now, I have no choice but to risk my reputation."
Fu Jin: "Do I need to tell Empress Lingfei?"
Erkang perked up: "Tell me, a multi-pronged approach will be more effective."
Fu Lun nodded and glared at Er Kang fiercely: "You stay here for the next few days and don't do anything weird again!"
Fu Lun ran around for several days, trying to find out what the emperor was thinking, but unfortunately he got nothing.
And Falcon was not living an easy life either.
