Spring Drunk Chang'an

The Duke of Zhenguo had been with Emperor Yingwu for half his life, loyal and dedicated, working hard and never complaining. His daughter wanted to marry a man who had a child out of wedlock, and logically Emperor Yingwu should have stopped him, as he was his confidant after all. However...

Think again and again, think again and again.

Emperor Yingwu was silent.

Liu Wenbai has the blood of the Qu family and is related to his Xun'er by blood. Compared to Liu Xiu, he is more adapted to standing by Xun'er's side, being a good duke and a good court official...

In the future, he will wait for a hundred years and serve as the "eyes" for Xun'er and the imperial concubine in the court.

Xun'er holds his secret, and can manipulate him as easily as with her own fingers, never having to worry about his betrayal for the rest of her life...

For the sake of his son, Emperor Yingwu abandoned his conscience and acquiesced to everything. The result...

"Is today the day those two children are getting married?"

"Am I remembering correctly?"

"Your Majesty, if you remember correctly, it is indeed true!" Xiao Xun nodded quickly.

If his father hadn't suddenly called him into the palace today, he would have been planning to attend the Ningguo Mansion's wedding and join in the fun...

"Why did this sudden entanglement happen when we were getting married for no reason? Moreover, Duke Cheng'en got involved?" Emperor Yingwu murmured, secretly thinking that something was wrong.

Could it be that Liu Wenbo's identity had been leaked and known to the Duke of Zhenguo? Now, he was dragging Liu Xiu over here, demanding he make the final decision?

This makes sense!

It also explains why Duke Cheng'en got involved? Although the conditions for the separation of the two families were concealed from Liu Wenbai, if the Duke Zhenguo discovered it first, it would not be considered that the Duke Cheng'en Mansion had broken the agreement.

broken! !

This is how to do?

How can I resolve the situation for them, let the Duke of Zhenguo recognize Liu Wenbai as his son-in-law, and then pardon the punishment of the Duke of Ningguo's Mansion?

That is the Dukedom that Xun'er has finally been able to completely control, and he must protect it for him!

Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu...

I'm so disappointed. I've already agreed to it, how could it be revealed?

Emperor Yingwu secretly complained in his heart.

Xiao Xun also furrowed his brows. Clearly, he was thinking the same thing as Emperor Yingwu. He felt that something was wrong with Liu Wenbai's identity. While cursing Liu Xiu for being useless, he racked his brains to think of how to protect his cousin-in-law...

I'll need him in the future!

Both father and son were worried about Liu Xiu.

At this time, the chief eunuch hurried in from outside, knelt down and reported, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have come with three dukes and their families to see you outside the palace..."

They are coming!!

There's no time to think of a solution!!

Emperor Yingwu was instantly overwhelmed. However, the trouble was right before his eyes and he could not hide away. He gritted his teeth and sighed, "Let them in!"

I will...

Be adaptable.

At worst, I can just endure some of the contempt and protect it!

What can we do?

Emperor Yingwu raised his hand with a wry smile.

Your Highness, the guards and the chief eunuch all said "yes". They knelt down and walked out of the hall. After a moment, they brought, uh...

So many people.

They brought in a lot of people, and this group of people - led by three dukes, all looked extremely ugly, especially the Duke of Zhenguo, who had several bruises on his cheeks, obviously from being beaten.

Uh……

Liu Xiu's clothes were also in a mess, and there were several nail marks on the bridge of his nose.

It's like being lucky enough to be cheated by a woman.

So, Song is a shrew and took the opportunity to beat someone up?

Xiao Xun frowned slightly and glanced at Song.

Song didn't notice at all. She followed obediently at the end of the "team", holding Liu Changan's hand, not letting go with her tearful eyes. All her attention was on the child.

Over there, the Crown Prince had already arrived before Emperor Yingwu and knelt on one knee, "Your Highness greets me, Father. Long live the Emperor!"

"Prince, please stand up!" Emperor Yingwu raised his hand.

The prince stood up.

The King of Yan reluctantly stepped forward and saluted, "Your humble servant greets the Crown Prince. May the Crown Prince live a thousand years and a thousand thousand years!"

The prince raised his eyebrows slightly and nodded in return.

The three dukes simultaneously released their hands and, with their large group, bowed one by one, "Your Highness, we pay our respects to the King of Yan..."

"No gift!"

Emperor Yingwu waved his hand, looked hesitant for a moment, and did not say the words "please give me a seat". After all, there were too many people around His Highness, and there were at least ten of them without counting.

Where can I move the stool?

Don’t sit anymore, just stand.

"Today, you all come to see me in groups. What's the matter?"

Emperor Yingwu asked, feeling a premonition that the Duke of Zhenguo and the Duke of Cheng'en would soon complain. This would be a headache for him...

"Long live the Lord!"

At the foot of the stairs, Liu Xiu suddenly cried out in grief, and knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his face. "My son and I have been wronged. The Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion has gone too far. Please, Your Majesty, help me!"

coming! !

Emperor Yingwu felt his scalp tingle and sighed in his heart: It turns out that Duke Ningguo has started to complain and ask me to make a decision?

Huh?

He was stunned. Ning, Duke Ning? Liu Xiu?

Why is he the one who complained?

"You, you're asking me to make the decision?" Emperor Yingwu was shocked and blurted out, "What injustice have you suffered?"

You, a son born out of wedlock, married someone else's legitimate daughter?

You can just be happy in secret.

Emperor Yingwu barely controlled himself and didn't say this.

Liu Xiu had no idea what the Emperor was thinking. He fought and quarreled with the Duke of Zhenguo all the way. The cold wind blew and his body ached. He became more and more clear-headed and understood the consequences of Wen Bo's paralysis. His good son, the elite he had trained and his future support, was all ruined by Xu Ruyi!

The future of the Ningguo Mansion is gone!!

Liu Xiu's eyes turned blue with hatred, and he wished that all members of the Xu family would die. He didn't care at all about his daughter being replaced or Qing Ru being a concubine's child. He was wholeheartedly devoted to avenging his son!

"Your Majesty, your humble son! My prince was paralyzed by that bitch Xu Ruyi!" Liu Xiu cried bitterly, kowtowed, and blood streamed from his forehead. He didn't even bother to wipe it off, only wailing, "That bitch had an affair with my brother. On her wedding night, she ran away with her second brother Xu Yuan, and my son saw them!"

"Those two beasts got mad and beat the child to the point of disability!"

"Wow, wow, Zhenguogong!! Xu Liang clearly knew about Xu Ruyi and Xu Yuan's dirty dealings, but instead of killing their own relatives for the sake of justice, he deliberately married his slut into my family, causing this disaster!!"

"The Xu Liang siblings committed adultery, which is unacceptable in the world. They harmed our prince, and their crimes are extremely heinous. They deserve to be fined 30 million. The Duke of Zhenguo and his family knew about it early on, and deliberately harmed others. Their crimes are also unforgivable!"

"Your Majesty, please help me!"

Liu Xiu howled.

Emperor Yingwu:...

???

Xiao Xun: ...

???

what's the situation?

The brother and sister committed incest, eloped in the bridal chamber, and Liu Wenbai was beaten to paralysis. Did Xu Liang know about it in advance?

This, this, how come they can understand every word, but when put together, it's so shocking?

Did they get the victim wrong?

Xu Ruyi's story is actually more serious than Liu Wenbai's life experience?
