Destroy the scumbag husband, beat the bitch, the reborn legitimate daughter overturns the entire cap

Marquis Anning was greatly alarmed!

Knowing that Chu Rong dared to say such things today, he must have been quite certain of himself. Looking at his aura and the neatly arranged soldiers outside, he already had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

"As expected, nothing escaped the Emperor's eyes. General Chu, you don't need to ask any more questions. Just take this old man to the palace."

Chu Rong raised an eyebrow. This person was sensible. Good, it saved him a lot of trouble.

"Someone, please invite Lord Luo to the carriage."

After Marquis Anning got into the carriage, he didn't forget to lift the curtain again to take a look.

It was unclear how many soldiers there were, but the entire Marquis's residence was already completely surrounded.

Marquis Anning sighed softly, knowing that today's events were unlikely to end well.

However, he did not regret it. After all, he had no intention of rebelling. It was just that the other party had grasped his weakness. If it weren't for that, he was afraid those children would have been in trouble.

Marquis Anning closed his eyes helplessly.

He knew that none of these things would be valid reasons in the Emperor's eyes.

Now, he only hoped that the Emperor would remember the Luo family's loyalty to the royal family over the years and spare their entire household. Even exile would be better than the execution of the whole family!

Marquis Anning knew that the Luo family of the capital would probably disappear completely from the capital from this point on, and that the Luo family would probably no longer exist in the Great Yong Dynasty.

Even though Marquis Anning was unwilling, he had no other choice. He could only lament his family's misfortune in having produced such worthless children. Fortunately, his second brother's two children were quite good. He thought that the Emperor would spare the siblings out of consideration for the princess. In that case, even in death, he could at least give an explanation to his ancestors in the afterlife.

Upon entering the palace, although the Marquis of Anning looked somewhat dejected, he was at least still quite composed.

His face was slightly pale. He lightly dusted off his official robes and then slowly climbed the steps one by one.

Chu Rong followed behind him, not because he was afraid that the Marquis would do anything rash, but because he found the Marquis to be unusually calm and composed.

Chu Rong has never had any goodwill towards anyone who harms the interests of the Great Yong Dynasty.

Perhaps because he was a military general, he always held such matters in high esteem. It was precisely because of this that Chu Qinghe had said to him more than once that he was too upright and might be easily broken.

Fortunately, Duanmu Chuze was a wise ruler. He not only did not dislike Chu Rong, but actually liked his straightforward personality.

Thus, Chu Qinghe was relieved. In addition, Chu Rong's marriage to Princess Jing provided a guarantee for the Chu family. At least for the next three generations, as long as the Chu family behaved themselves, they would not face any calamity.

Watching Marquis Anning enter the Imperial Study step by step, Chu Rong slightly raised his lips, then stood outside the door, looking up at the azure sky, and suddenly felt that such a life was not bad.

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, Chu Rong has gradually moved closer to the center of power in the Great Yong Dynasty.

Now, as a military general, his position in Dayong can be said to be firmly established.

This rebellion incident clearly demonstrates how much the Emperor values ​​him.

Half an hour later, Marquis Anning emerged from the Imperial Study looking dejected, and then the Emperor's extremely authoritative voice rang out.

"Chu Rong, imprison Marquis Anning in the Heavenly Prison, and also imprison all his relatives and family members. Confiscate all property belonging to the Marquis's family."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

That evening, when Duanmu Chuze returned to Chengqian Palace, Mu Xinnuan had been waiting for him for a long time.

Why are you so late today? Is something troublesome?

These are words that probably no other woman would dare to say. Even the Empress Dowager never said such a thing to the Emperor Emeritus.

A tricky situation?

This raises suspicions of interference in politics and questioning the emperor's abilities.

Duanmu Chuze simply shook his head and smiled, "It's nothing, just some trivial matters. Anuan, have you heard about the Luo family's situation?"

Mu Xin Nuan paused for a moment, then nodded somewhat shyly. "I was talking to the Empress Dowager at Fushou Palace when Princess Zhaoyang came over. As soon as she saw the Empress Dowager, she started crying. That's when I learned that something had happened at the Luo residence."

"What did Mother say?"

Mu Xin Nuan shook her head. "No. The Empress Dowager only comforted Princess Zhaoyang a few times, and then said that these were matters of state, important matters of the court, and not something that women in the harem could interfere with. Fortunately, the Emperor did not punish Consort Luo, otherwise, I'm afraid Princess Zhaoyang might have caused a great disturbance at Fushou Palace."

"I also find the matter of Marquis Anning somewhat difficult. According to the law, his entire family should be executed. However, his starting point was ultimately to protect Zhaoyang's two children, which can also be considered as doing something for others."

"You mean to say that Marquis Anning was manipulated because he was protecting Shuang'er and her brother?"

Duanmu Chuze nodded, then pinched his brow. "Even so, we cannot allow his rebellious actions to continue. I have already issued an edict to arrest the entire household. This matter will not affect Consort Luo for the time being."

"Aze, tell me the truth, was Prince Consort Luo involved in this matter?"

If Prince Consort Luo gets involved, things will get really complicated!

It should be noted that Princess Zhaoyang had only been rescued not long ago. If Consort Luo were imprisoned again now, she would surely cause a huge scene.

Moreover, for a woman who has finally reconciled with her husband, how could she just stand by and watch him get into trouble?

"It shouldn't be. Firstly, because the position held by the Imperial Son-in-Law is a sinecure with no real power. Secondly, because the Imperial Son-in-Law has been preoccupied with Li Wanhe and their two children these days, he has no mind to do anything else."

Mu Xin Nuan finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness! I can rest assured now. Although Princess Zhao Yang's health has recovered somewhat, she is still a little weak. I'm afraid that Consort Luo will still have to come to Princess Zhao Yang for this matter."

After all, Princess Zhaoyang is Duanmu Chuze's older sister. Given the serious charge of treason, it's likely that only she can be asked to speak on his behalf.

"Let him come if he wants. This matter cannot be changed by their few words. I have already shown him great kindness by not detaining him because he is Zhaoyang's husband."

Mu Xin Nuan knew he was telling the truth.

With a sigh, I realized that being an emperor is no easy task!

National affairs are always more important than personal family matters.

This time, if Consort Luo is involved in even the slightest thing, I'm afraid Duanmu Chuze will not spare him.

The fact that he has not been imprisoned is already an act of leniency.

She was just afraid that Princess Zhaoyang would understand the implications and stop pleading for him, thus putting Aze in a difficult position.
