Was the whole group wiped out in the previous life? Reborn to drag the crippled king into the bridal

In her previous life, Rong Yue got married shortly after her coming-of-age ceremony.

Rong Hai chose the other party because he had a similar family background, was well-known for his talent, and had good character.

Unexpectedly, her mother-in-law was so powerful and her husband was so foolishly filial. Rong Yue was afraid of affecting the family's reputation and never thought of divorce.

She endured the abuse of her husband's family in silence, became depressed and suffered from chronic illness, and died within a few years.

Mo Zhaohua was originally thinking, when that family came to propose marriage again, what reasons should she use to convince Rong Hai to refuse.

Now that she heard Rong Hai say this, she felt a lot more relieved. His attitude was much better than in his previous life, and he would put Rong Yue first.

Unlike in the previous life, she only thought that when her daughter reached a certain age, she should marry a man of equal status and good character.

It seems that Rong Qing's early divorce in this life also gave Rong Hai an epiphany, and he realized that if a woman marries the wrong person, she would rather not marry.

The family finished their lunch in a warm atmosphere, then sat in the main hall for a while, waiting for Rong Hai to report for duty before going about their own business.

Chu Xuanchi and Mo Zhaohua returned to Luofengju, and Rong Qing accompanied them. It was rare for her daughter to come back, and she wanted to stay with her for a while longer.

Hot water was boiling in the small kitchen, and Mo Zhaohua quickly prepared the medicinal bath for the afternoon and let Chu Xuanchi soak in it.

Since Rong Qing was there too, she asked Wuying to guard Chu Xuanchi inside, while she talked with Rong Qing outside, with Yueying serving beside them.

Rong Qing took a sip of tea and said, "Zhao Zhao knows medical skills, which is such a big thing. Even my grandfather and uncle know about it. How could they hide it from me?"

If the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion had not suddenly bought so many medicinal herbs a few days ago, she would have asked out of concern and would still not know about this.

It was because she knew this that she thought of using the excuse of becoming a monk to take the opportunity to ask Chu Xuanchi to come over for a medicinal bath.

Mo Zhaohua played with the empty teacup, "Mother, don't you dislike Zhao Zhao reading medical books and fiddling with herbs all day long?"

She had a great interest in medicine since she was young, but Rong Qing believed that as a lady, she should be proficient in poetry, songs, calligraphy and painting.

Rong Qing had never thought of letting her become a doctor, so she repeatedly advised her to read more other books and not to be obsessed with medicine and neglect other things.

Thinking about it now, Rong Qing still feels a little guilty, "Zhao Zhao was afraid that I would stop him, so he could only study secretly?"

Mo Zhaohua smiled and said, "It's not really secret. My grandfather and uncle have always known about it, and the medical book was also found by my uncle."

Rong Qing was filled with regret, "Fortunately, your grandfather and uncle had a longer-term vision than me, otherwise I would have really harmed Zhao Zhao."

Mo Zhaohua comforted her, "Mom, don't blame yourself. You are doing this for Zhao Zhao's own good. It would be a joke for the eldest lady to be a female doctor."

The mother and daughter chatted for a long time outside. Mo Zhaohua put the herbs away without getting up to go in. When the time came, he only needed to tell Wuying.

She had already arranged the medicinal herbs neatly in order, so Wuying didn't need to sort them out herself, she just had to put them in order.

When people are talking outside, people inside usually can't hear clearly, but Chu Xuanchi and Wuying have practiced martial arts and have excellent hearing.

They heard everything the mother and daughter said clearly, and understood more about Mo Zhaohua, especially about her medical skills.

Chu Xuanchi soaked in the water for two hours. Wuying helped him bathe and change clothes, and then they returned to Prince Yu's Palace together.

Emperor Wenzong had already known about their visit to the Duke of Fuguo's Mansion today, and he also knew the reason, so he did not doubt it.

It was common for women to become nuns after a divorce, either because their reputation was damaged or because they had become disillusioned with the world.

Qinzheng Hall.

The people from the Supervisory Office were very efficient and within a few days they had placed the evidence of Prince Jin's corruption and abuse of power before the imperial desk.

It was not all of it, but only a part of it. Emperor Wenzong only wanted to teach Prince Jin a lesson and did not want to punish him severely.

Prince Jin was just a chess piece of his, used to check and balance the Crown Prince, while Lin Tianzuo was used to check and balance Changsun Rui.

The founding emperor set up two prime ministers in order to check and balance each other and prevent one from dominating the world.

The same goes for the crown prince. Even though he is the heir to the throne, he is not the emperor after all, and Emperor Wenzong cannot allow him to have too much power.

The evidence was irrefutable, so the King of Jin could only bow his head and plead guilty. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "I know my crime, and I beg you to forgive me, father."

"Forgive me?" Emperor Wenzong threw the black and white evidence of his crime in front of him. "How can I forgive you?"

The King of Jin fell to the ground, not even daring to raise his head, afraid to face the emperor's wrath, "Your son is willing to make amends."

Emperor Wenzong had a gloomy face and sinister eyes, "Xuan Huai, do you know why you can live a life of luxury in Shengjing?"

The King of Jin flattered the emperor in a clever way, "I know that it is because of your father's good governance that the people can support the Dongling royal family."

Emperor Wenzong said in a deep voice: "No, you don't know, all this is because countless soldiers are fighting with their lives to protect the territory of Dongling."

Prince Jin continued to flatter him, "Yes, it is because of the soldiers who protected the country and the wise and brave father that Dongling has today's peace and prosperity."

Emperor Wenzong knew that he was just saying nice things to please him, but he still found them useful. "Then do you know that your fifth brother is also among these soldiers?"

King Jin didn't understand what he meant, and subconsciously looked up at him, "Father?"

Emperor Wenzong did not point out what he had done in private, but only hinted, "If he deserves to die, you deserve to die even more. Do you understand?"

The Prince of Jin knew exactly what he had done, and only then did he truly understand why Emperor Wenzong punished him, "Your Highness understands!"

Emperor Wenzong did not say anything more. He directly removed him from all his posts, ordered him to return the proceeds of corruption, and fined him three years' salary.

The case of Prince Jin's corruption and abuse of power came to an end, and only a few people knew the inside story.

***

end of August.

The fragrance of laurel spreads for miles.

A carriage arrived outside the Prince Yu's Palace.

A maid dressed in formal attire was sitting on the side of the carriage.

After the carriage stopped, the maid jumped out and the curtain was opened.

A girl with a single spiral bun came out of the carriage and was helped off by a maid.

She had delicate eyebrows, red lips and white teeth, and a slender and graceful figure, but her skin was darker than that of the women in Shengjing.

"We are finally in Shengjing City. This is Prince Yu's Mansion. Brother Prince Yu's mansion looks so grand and magnificent."

The maidservant said sternly, "Your Highness's mansion was built by the Ministry of Works under the order of His Majesty. It is the largest among all the princes."

"Cough cough..." With a light cough, another man came out of the carriage. He looked to be in his early twenties.

He had a kind face, distinct features, straight eyebrows, a slightly high nose bridge, and an overly pale complexion that gave him a somewhat sickly look.

There was a man dressed as a guard standing next to the carriage. He reached out and helped him down from the carriage. When he landed on the ground, his body swayed and he looked even weaker.

Several people came to the gate of Prince Yu's mansion, and the maid introduced herself, "I am Hua Ying, the personal bodyguard of His Royal Highness Prince Yu, and I am here to escort Miss Mu to the capital."

As the maid spoke, she took out a black token. Although the doorman had never seen it before, he could tell that it was exactly the same as the token used by Wuying and the others.
