A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Seeing Jiang Ziyan kneeling on the ground, crying with tears in her eyes, Emperor Xuande felt sorry for her.

"Princess Chen, please get up. This is none of your business."

Jiang Ziyan knelt still, shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, when I first entered the palace, I was terrified and was harmed by jealous villains. It was Chaoyun who accompanied me all the time, and today I am repaying her kindness. If Your Majesty is unwilling to spare her life, I will often kneel down and not get up."

In fact, Emperor Xuande didn't care whether Li Chaoyun lived or died.

So when he saw Jiang Ziyan like this, he felt relieved. He really couldn't bear to see Jiang Ziyan cry.

He wanted to speak, but subconsciously glanced at Song Zan and his son, and it was obvious that he felt guilty.

After retracting his gaze, Emperor Xuande coughed twice and said, "Since you all think that Li Chaoyun's crime is not punishable by death, then I will let him go. However, Li Chaoyun can be spared the death penalty, but he cannot escape the punishment of living, and he will be imprisoned in the clan residence for life."

As he said this, Emperor Xuande looked at Song Zan again.

He didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that Song Zan's eyes were full of mockery.

Su Yuanzhou wanted to speak after hearing this, but was stopped by Shen Zhixiu with a look.

There are plenty of ways to get rid of Li Chaoyun, so there is no need to refute the emperor's decision at this time.

Afterwards, Emperor Xuande issued an order to take the three members of the Li family away first and temporarily lock them up in the Ministry of Justice. Tomorrow, Li Jingchuan and Princess Yongjia will be executed by slow slicing, while Li Chaoyun will be transferred to the Imperial Clan Court.

After the Li family members left, Su Qingyu felt a lot more relieved.

After a long period of planning, we have finally come to this point. When the Li family members are executed tomorrow, the matter will be settled.

Seeing that Hu Lu was still holding the late queen's body, Emperor Xuande ordered: "Send this body to Qianyang Palace. I want to set aside a room to worship Zi Ning's body."

Song Zan stood up upon hearing this and said, "Your Majesty, I request your permission to bring the late queen's body back to the Song family."

Then Song Zan knelt in the middle of the hall, and Song Hongshen knelt behind him.

This is also the purpose of their visit today. If it were not for this Buddha body, they would not have come here at all.

Emperor Xuande was still immersed in the joy of the recovery of the late queen's Buddha body. Suddenly, upon hearing Song Zan's words, he blurted out a rebuttal: "This is impossible. The Buddha body of Zi Ning has been found and should remain in the palace."

Song Zan raised his head and looked directly at Emperor Xuande, "Does your majesty think it's appropriate?"

Emperor Xuande was puzzled. "What's inappropriate about this? Although she is a daughter of the Song family, she has already married me. Song Zan, you don't understand the principle of a married woman obeying her husband?"

Song Zan twitched the corner of his lips slightly and suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Qianyang Palace is where your Majesty rests. Did you place the late queen's body in Qianyang Palace so that she could watch your Majesty being affectionate with other women?"

At this point, Song Zan glanced at Jiang Ziyan again, "Your Majesty, do you think the late Queen would be happy to see this Empress Chen?"

"Of course, if Your Majesty can guarantee to cultivate himself in Qianyang Palace and not summon the concubines. Especially this Empress Chen, never set foot in Qianyang Palace, then I and the Song family will no longer have any objections."

Emperor Xuande was so angry that he scolded Song Zan, "What are you talking about? How dare you say such nonsense?"

Is this something you can say in front of court officials and ladies? Song Zan is really getting more and more outrageous.

Seeing Emperor Xuande's anger rising, Song Zan suddenly softened his tone.

"Your Majesty, there is someone in the Loyalty Marquis' Mansion that the late queen cares about. I beg Your Majesty to help."

After saying this, he kowtowed heavily to Emperor Xuande.

If he continued to behave recklessly, Emperor Xuande might have scolded him a few more times. But his sudden behavior made Emperor Xuande feel uncomfortable for a while.

If we were to ask who in the world treats Song Zining the best, it would be her brother, Marquis Zhongyi.

When Emperor Xuande heard Song Zan say that there was someone in the Mansion of Marquis of Loyalty that the late empress cared about, he thought of the old lady of the Song family again.

"Alright, alright, stop looking so sad in front of me. I have approved this matter. The late queen's body will be sent to the Marquis of Loyalty's Mansion."

Song Zan and Song Hong thanked him deeply, then stood up and returned to their seats.

Concubine Chen lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought. The Song family dared to be so presumptuous, wasn't it because the emperor cared about the late queen? Sooner or later, her Jiang family would be like the Song family.

Afterwards, Emperor Xuande began to issue orders to punish other people.

Censor Chen will be detained first, and will be handed over to the three courts for trial after the Ministry of Personnel presents evidence tomorrow.

Zhang Tianshi was transferred to Shuntian Prefecture, which first investigated his crime of fraud and then convicted him according to the Great Zhou Law based on the extent of the fraud.

Emperor Xuande finally looked at Li Hu. In his heart, he didn't want to keep this man any longer. Although Li Hu explained what happened in the past, Emperor Xuande's hatred for the King of War did not diminish.

Just like what Yongjia said, Prince Zhan came to Beijing perhaps just under the guise of filial piety, but in reality he still wanted to take the opportunity to cause chaos.

Su Yuanzhou and Li Hu were both military generals, and Su Yuanzhou sympathized with Li Hu's situation.

So when he saw that the emperor intended to execute Li Hu, Su Yuanzhou spoke up first, "Your Majesty, Li Hu has made great contributions this time. Even if he has no merits, he has worked hard. I suggest that the court give him some pension so that he can have a guaranteed life in the future."

Shen Zhixiu also echoed, "Your Majesty, I agree with His Royal Highness Prince Ning's proposal. Doing so can also demonstrate the emperor's broad mind and magnanimity."

Seeing what the two said, Emperor Xuande could only announce his decree and reward Li Hu handsomely. He also asked Li Hu what his future plans were.

Li Hu said that he wanted to go back to his hometown Yingtian Prefecture to visit, and the gold and silver rewarded by the emperor was just enough for his travel expenses.

When Shen Zhixiu heard that Li Hu was going south to his hometown, he said that the Shen family's farm outside the city was vacant and Li Hu could stay there for a few days. After resting for a few days, he could buy some local products and then go south to go home.

Seeing that the emperor really spared Li Hu's life, Concubine Xian did not say anything. Her drooping eyelashes just happened to cover up the murderous intent in her eyes.

When Li Hu stepped aside, he also looked deeply at Concubine Xian, then instantly retracted his gaze.

The farce finally ended, and Emperor Xuande signaled everyone to disperse and leave the palace.

He left with Consort Jiang Ziyan, and after everyone had respectfully seen the Emperor off, they headed out of the hall.

After leaving the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Song Hongshen saw at a glance that the Crown Prince was talking to Prince Rong not far away.

Song Hongshen grinned and walked quickly to the side of Prince Rong.

"My Lord, when can I drink the wine from Prince Rong's wedding?"

"This prince and Miss Honglian have met once. When she gets married, this prince must give her a big gift."

Upon hearing this, Prince Rong's face fell immediately. He greeted the Crown Prince, said goodbye, and left quickly.

Song Hongshen shrugged, "The old prince passed away quickly, he is still strong despite his age."

After saying this, he ignored the Crown Prince and left behind Prince Rong.

The prince stared at Song Hongshen's back with his deep eyes, cold and sinister.

He did plot against Song Hongshen, but failed, didn't he?

Song Hongshen, on the other hand, took revenge on him again and again.

"Have you found out? When does Song Hongshen plan to go south to Fujian?"

The prince asked the attendant beside him in a low voice.
