After rebirth, the Prime Minister's wife always wanted to leave her father behind and keep her
Chapter 210 Misfortunes never come singly
Cheng Songan was watching their performance silently. When he suddenly heard what Emperor Longxi said, he almost bit off his tongue.
Cui Yuanqing still shouted in the court: "Even if I lose face, I will still plead for the prince!"
Emperor Longxi had a gloomy face. There were no vases left to kick in the corridor, so he could only pace back and forth a few steps, pointing at him and saying, "I'll lock you up for a month and make you a laughing stock in the capital. Let's see if you still dare to be stubborn!"
Cheng Songan also crawled out of the hall on his knees, touching the ground with his head, and said, "If Your Majesty wants to make Lord Cui lose face, just lock him up in Cui's mansion and hand him over to his wife Ru for care. I have already divorced him..."
Emperor Longxi waved his hand and shook his head, saying, "No, his wife Ru will definitely treat him with respect, but you divorced him. I am confident that you can humiliate him. Take him back now. It's okay to stop reading the Seventh Princess's book for a month."
Cheng Songan was stunned. In this situation, if she refuted again, it would probably cause dissatisfaction to Emperor Longxi, so she had no choice but to bow her head and agree.
But the Seventh Princess ignored these court affairs and came over excitedly and said, "Father, can I go to Master's villa to listen to the books? It will also be a good opportunity for me to monitor whether Lord Cui is obedient or not."
After hearing this, Emperor Longxi clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let's do it this way. Xing'er will go to the Fisherman and Woodcutter Villa to listen to stories every day."
Rongpin then let out a long sigh, slowly stood up, looked at Cheng Songan thoughtfully and smiled.
Just as the commotion had subsided, a eunuch hurried in from outside and knelt down.
The smile that Emperor Longxi had just revealed froze again, and he asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"
The eunuch replied, "The Su Zhi who sued Minister Lu last time should be exiled to Lingnan today, but this man is so bold that he has come back to file a complaint with the Emperor, suing..."
At this point, the voice gradually became fainter and almost inaudible.
The chopsticks in the hand of Emperor Longxi paused for a moment and snorted, "Who are you suing this time? Tell me!"
The eunuch had no choice but to muster up the courage to say, "Sue Prince Jin."
After saying this, he fell to the ground, not daring to move.
Emperor Longxi put his hands behind his back and snorted coldly. Several people who had just stood up knelt down again.
Only the Seventh Princess was sensible and gently advised Emperor Longxi: "Father is just angry. Don't get angry again now, otherwise it will go against the way of keeping healthy."
Emperor Longxi indeed smiled at her.
The eunuch kneeling on the ground kept lying there, not daring to raise his head.
Emperor Longxi said calmly: "A commoner who has no respect for the emperor and no law dares to sue even the prince. What is he suing Prince Jin for?"
The eunuch trembled and said in a trembling voice: "The day before yesterday, Prince Jin was ordered to go out of the city to appease the refugees, but those unruly people offended the prince. The prince was in a hurry and punished a few people. Then Su Zhi sued the prince for seeking fame and reputation and taking human lives lightly, and also said, and said..."
"What else do you have to say?" Emperor Longxi frowned and spoke in a calm tone.
The eunuch trembled and replied, "They said that the prince formed a clique for personal gain, just to seek power."
Emperor Longxi's expression suddenly showed a hint of emotion. Different from the anger he had when he kicked the vase before, this was a silent murderous look that made people shudder.
Cheng Songan lowered her eyes, knowing that he seemed to be waiting for such an opportunity, so she spoke softly, "Your Majesty, I dare to interrupt. This Su Zhi, I know him. He is the son-in-law of the Cui family's side branch, but he is a fool. He doesn't recognize his relatives. He even dared to sue Minister Cui. Now he has even canceled the marriage. You don't have to be angry with him."
Emperor Longxi said "oh" in a drawn-out tone, but he was not angry. He said to Cui Yuanqing who was kneeling on the ground, "This Su Zhi is really hateful and full of nonsense. You two are both causing trouble for me. Well, good! Since Cui Yuanqing does not recognize this marriage, I will arrange a marriage for Su Zhi. I decree that Su Zhi's marriage to the Cui family shall proceed as usual."
"Furthermore, have Su Zhi beaten with thirty sticks in the court and brought to Qianyuan Palace. I will personally interrogate this audacious and unruly citizen to see who gave him the courage!"
The eunuch who delivered the order then got up from the ground and walked out quickly.
Emperor Longxi took two leisurely steps in the corridor, and seeing Cheng Songan still kneeling, he waved his hand and said, "Get up."
Cheng Songan lowered her head, as if a huge weight was pressing on her head.
Emperor Longxi smiled faintly: "I suddenly remembered something. Do you know the girl from the Wang family who played Cuju with you last time?"
Cheng Songan was stunned. He was talking about Wang Lujun, the sister of the Minister of War. After the Cuju match, they had a few drinks together, so they had some friendship. He just didn't know why he asked this.
"Xiu Rong came back this time to discuss marriage, but I never expected that the Rongdi would frequently harass several towns in Datong, so I had to let him go back." Emperor Longxi did not wait for Cheng Songan to answer, and said, "But it didn't delay his marriage. Today he told me that he got along well with you, so I thought, why don't you give him some advice?"
Cheng Songan did not dare to look up and look directly at Emperor Longxi, but only looked at Cui Yuanqing. However, he had a frank expression and did not feel guilty at all.
Even if it was him, so what? Emperor Longxi's question meant that he did not agree with her and Ming Zhan's relationship, and was using Wang Lujun to pressure her.
Cheng Songan knelt upright and bowed her head, saying, "I was once favored by the Princess of Xiang, so I am acquainted with General Ming, but I am not yet able to arrange his marriage for him. Such an important matter should be handled by your majesty, or by the Xiang prince and his wife. How can I be allowed to interfere?"
Emperor Longxi nodded with satisfaction. This girl was smart and clever, and she understood things at a glance. She was a smart person.
Rongpin realized what the emperor meant, so she stood beside him and said softly, "Miss Cheng has been kneeling for too long. Hurry up and get up and go back to take good care of Minister Cui."
Cheng Songan kowtowed and left, slowly walking out of the gate of Yongfu Palace. The huge rock pressing on her heart was removed, and Prince Jin could no longer threaten her this time. However, it seemed that there was no possibility for her and Ming Zhan to be together anymore.
She felt empty inside, neither sad nor relieved.
Haitang met her outside Jiwen Hall, and was puzzled to see Cui Yuanqing and several eunuchs following her.
Cheng Songan shook his head weakly, supported her, walked step by step towards Chengtian Gate, and got on the carriage.
Cui Yuanqing stopped Haitang and let her sit in his carriage, while he followed.
Cheng Songan hugged his knees and huddled in a corner of the carriage, indifferent to his coming in.
"Are you thinking about Ming Xiurong?" Cui Yuanqing asked in a sarcastic tone with a nasal voice.
Just now in Yongfu Palace, perhaps because his voice was excited, it was not obvious, but now that he had relaxed, he looked sick.
Cheng Songan didn't even raise his head, and said calmly: "I promised to wait for him. He is leaving, so why not?"
After a pause, he sneered again, "Now you are satisfied. There is no possibility for me and him."
Cui Yuanqing was not angry either. He chuckled and asked, "Do you think I did it?"
