Reborn to raise a baby, Princess Heng has become stronger

Chapter 375: Taking the blame, my wife feels sorry for me

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, miraculous doctors from all over the Yuan Dynasty arrived in the capital, but none of them could wake Princess Heng up.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Princess Heng's condition worsened.

Prince Heng lost control and rushed into the palace. During the argument with the emperor, he became so emotional that he angered the emperor and was ordered to stay in the palace to calm down.

The Heng Palace is leaderless.

As soon as the news came out, families in the capital were in an uproar.

As a staunch supporter of Prince Heng, Lu Hetai was extremely anxious when he learned that Prince Heng was detained in the palace.

"Prince Heng is confused. Even if he is angry with the emperor, he cannot be disrespectful to him. God knows, he is not only his brother, but also the ruler of a country. How can he tolerate his temper again and again?"

Madam Lu reminded him, "No matter how much the emperor and Prince Heng quarrel, they are still brothers. Maybe they will reconcile tomorrow. Master, please don't interfere."

"You are too soft-hearted," Lu Hetai said in dissatisfaction, "Even if we are brothers, we still have our bottom line. How can the dignity of an emperor be trampled on by others?"

Just as he finished speaking, another voice came from outside the hall, "Brother is right. Even if the emperor favors Prince Heng's family, he will not tolerate him challenging the emperor's authority again and again."

"Why are you here, second brother?" Lu Hetai looked at his second brother with some displeasure.

Lu Hesen snorted and asked back, "Why can't I come? This is the Lu family, and I am also a member of the Lu family."

"I didn't mean to say that you are not a member of the Lu family. It's just that this is a matter of great importance to the court. Second brother, you have no achievements, so it's better not to talk about it casually."

Lu Hetai spoke in a gentle tone, intending to remind his younger brother not to bring trouble upon himself.

But Lu Hesen's tone was very strong, "I have no achievements, but my son is capable."

The corner of Lu Hetai's mouth twitched slightly. He was the tallest among the short guys. Compared with the children of other branches of the Lu family, the eldest son of the second branch, Lu Chi, was indeed a little better.

But to say that he has ability is far from enough.

But Lu Hesen obviously didn't think so. He stubbornly believed that his son had the best potential.

Therefore, he was not polite at all to his elder brother Lu Hetai.

"Brother, you are so high and mighty, isn't it just because your daughter is a palace concubine? But don't you see what benefits she has brought to the mansion!"

"Even though Cui had been bullied to the point of being a coward, she still acted like a coward. Not only did she let Concubine Li send Cui out of the palace intact, but she couldn't even learn to complain to the emperor."

"I really don't understand how my Lu family could produce such a loser. And your Lu Yan, he even lost such a good job in the Ministry of Industry, why didn't he buy a piece of tofu and kill himself?"

"His second uncle!"

No one could tolerate their own child being slandered like this, and Mrs. Lu's face turned blue with anger.

But Lu Hesen was not afraid at all, "Sister-in-law, I am telling the truth. There is nothing you can do if you don't want to listen."

"In your first house, Lu Fang is useless, Lu Yan is a waste, and Lu Yang is also useless. I really don't know how you can have the nerve to sit on the position of head of the family, brother. You might as well abdicate as soon as possible."

"Second brother, be careful with your words," Lu Hetai reminded him with a serious face, "After you marry, you must obey your husband. The Concubine Xian is already a member of the royal family. You are committing a serious crime by disrespecting the royal family!"

"Tsk, you're the only one who takes her seriously."

Lu Hesen rolled his eyes unceremoniously, obviously not taking Lu Hetai's warning to heart.

"I came here today to tell you that King Heng is no longer a force to be reckoned with, and our Second Branch no longer wants to be tied to King Heng's boat."

"What do you mean?" Lu Hetai's heart skipped a beat, worried that something bad was going to happen.

"I'll give you two choices. Either you give me the position of the head of the family, and I'll lead the Lu family to turn from darkness to light; or we can split up the family, and our second branch can live on its own."

"You're crazy!" Lu Hetai was very angry and raised his hand high to try to sober him up.

But how could Lu Hesen just stand there and let him beat him?

"Lu Hetai, if you know what's best for you, just give up the position of the head of the family. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you."

"Impossible. I can't let the Lu family's century-old foundation fall into your hands."

"Then we will separate and never have any contact with each other again."

Lu Hetai was a little hesitant.

Before his parents passed away, they repeatedly told him to support the Lu family and not to break it up.

However, the Lu family was large, with an increasing number of direct and collateral descendants, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to manage.

The idea of ​​having the second wife live separately has been around for a long time, and he has persuaded her many times before.

But the second brother was determined to split up.

In that case, let's split up.

After the family is divided, Ayan won't have to live outside anymore.

"Okay, since you insist on doing this, then let's ask the clan leader to preside over the division. If the other families want to separate and live separately like you, I agree."

Seeing how painful he looked, Mrs. Lu felt a little reluctant and wanted to persuade him a few more words.

But before she could say anything, she saw Lu Hetai shaking his head at her.

"My second brother has made up his mind. If I try to stop him, it will only make him unhappy. In this case, why not just follow his wishes?"

The head of the Lu family came quickly and learned that Lu Hesen wanted to split up the family and live separately. He wanted to persuade them to reconcile, but was rejected by Lu Hesen.

The clan leader had no choice but to preside over the division of the family for them according to ancestral rules.

When the news was delivered to the palace, Concubine Xian felt inexplicably relieved when she learned that the second room had been separated.

At the same time, he sent a letter repeatedly reminding Lu Hetai not to be influenced by Lu Hesen's words and to believe in the brotherhood between Prince Heng and the Emperor.

Although Lu Hetai didn't understand where his daughter's confidence in King Heng came from, he had never intended to add insult to injury.

After all, he remembered Han Yi's fate clearly.

However, the Cui family was not so peaceful.

Cui Chen believed that King Heng would not make a fuss, and he felt that there must be something he didn't know.

But Cui Jian doesn't think so.

Not only did he enter the palace on New Year's Day to ask for an audience with Emperor Yuan Qing to express his loyalty, but when he heard that Emperor Yuan Qing had detained Prince Heng in the palace to calm down, he wrote a letter to the emperor to severely punish Prince Heng.

The reason is simple, that is, King Heng has no respect for his elders and is stubborn and self-willed, and he should be severely punished to serve as a warning to others.

In the imperial study, after reading Cui Jian's memorial, Emperor Yuan Qing sneered and threw it to Lu Chenxiao who was drinking tea calmly.

"Did you dig up the Cui family's ancestral grave?"

Lu Chenxiao read the contents of the memorial quickly and his face turned very dark.

"I guess they are trying to pin the blame on me for Cui Linlang not being able to enter the palace as a concubine."

You should know that not only did he not dig up the Cui family's ancestral tomb, he also helped Cui Cheng.

But Cui Jian did not acknowledge this favor.

In that case, there was no need for him to be polite anymore.

Emperor Yuan Qing sighed, "It seems my sister-in-law is right again."

Lu Chenxiao focused instantly, "What did my wife say to you?"

Emperor Yuan Qing: “…”

Look at how anxious he looks, it seems more like he is asking you when you met my wife in private again.

Emperor Yuan Qing resisted the urge to roll his eyes and spoke quietly, "My sister-in-law said that I let you take the blame all day long."

Lu Chenxiao snorted, "My wife is worried about me. You've been making me take the blame all day long."

It's just taking the blame.

Previously, Lu Yuanjing pretended to be the emperor and falsely accused him of regicide. Now, he announced to the public that he had a disrespectful quarrel with the emperor and was finally kept in the palace to calm down because of his bad mood.

With all these things happening one after another, he no longer has a good reputation.

Emperor Yuan Qing: “???”

Is he so proud of being loved by his wife?
