The third prince couldn't believe it. Was his father going to let him go?

So what was that sighing sound he heard at the beginning?

Did he hear wrongly?

"Thank you, Father, for your grace! I, your son, will never be jealous of the Fourth Brother again!"

"It turns out that father's love for me is no less than that for the fourth young master!" the third prince choked.

The emperor glanced at him sideways.

"You framed him again and again out of jealousy, and even tried to kill him!"

"Although he survived, his body has been damaged since then... As a brother, are you going to kill your brother like this out of jealousy?"

"Do you think Lao Si doesn't know it was you who did it?"

"He knows! Why doesn't he want to kill you? Have you ever thought about it?"

"Because he doesn't want me to - an old man sending off a young man!"

The emperor finished speaking, holding onto the table with his hands, breathing slightly heavily.

He Hongxi hurried forward and patted the emperor's back to help him calm down.

The third prince stood there, his whole body cold.

It turns out that Father already knew...

Now, my father has released me from the clan house and asked me to return home. What does he want to do?

Do you want to...kill yourself?

"No! Father! I know I was wrong! I really know I was wrong! I will never dare to do it again!" Thinking of this, the third prince immediately burst into tears and knelt down to admit his mistake.

The emperor was frightened by his miserable crying.

"Why are you howling? You scared me!"

The emperor shouted angrily, "Go back now! Send away all your retainers, the court will take back all your fiefs and fiefs, and your salary will be reduced by half."

Upon hearing this, the third prince took the handkerchief handed to him by He Hongxi and wiped his snot and tears.

Hmm? Aren't you going to sentence his whole family to death?

But he would have to take back his fiefdom and dismiss his retainers... Would he be able to hold his head up in front of his brothers in the capital in the future?

"Or..." the emperor said faintly, "Do you want me to give you a quick death?"

The Third Prince shuddered and looked up at him, "Father..."

"The note in your hand is fake news." The emperor suddenly said, "I had someone send it in to see your reaction."

Third Prince:...

Therefore, that sigh of disappointment was not his illusion!

But how could my father do this?

He deliberately sent in a fake note...

The third prince suddenly shuddered. He thought he was doing something secret... but... in fact, his father knew everything?

The third prince was in a daze and returned to his own residence from the clan residence.

All the imperial guards outside the palace were withdrawn.

Kyoto seems to have regained its former bustle and prosperity.

It was just that everything inside and outside the Third Prince's mansion was quiet.

All the former staff are gone.

Even if the emperor didn't come to dismiss them, they would still leave because the Third Prince's Mansion had no money to support them.

Different from the loneliness of the Third Prince’s Mansion.

The Song family has been very busy lately, with Princess Huihe, Princess Minghua, and Duke Qin's mansion all sending dowries.

Jiang was still puzzled when she received those people who came to her house to bring dowry.

She could understand the Duke of Qin's Mansion. After all, her daughter recognized the wife of the Duke of Qin as her godmother, so she was half their daughter.

But the two princesses are on Prince Jing's side, right?

Those who send dowry are the bride's family. As the husband's family, what kind of dowry are they sending?

Princess Huihe smiled and said, "My godson is Mingli's cousin. Do you think I am considered a member of your maternal family?"

Ok?

When did Mingli have such a powerful cousin? How come she didn't know anything about it?

Princess Minghua also smiled and said, "Although I am the eldest sister of Prince Jing, we are still brothers. My personal relationship with Mingli is no less than that of a brother and sister!"

Her hot spring pool is now open for business.

My father even went there in disguise to take a bath.

I heard from Eunuch He who was beside my father that my father had been sitting at his desk reviewing memorials for too long and had developed some back pain.

Although acupuncture and massage by imperial physicians can provide relief, the sore and heavy feeling during acupuncture and massage is also uncomfortable.

My father soaked in her hot spring and didn’t have acupuncture for several days, but his waist didn’t hurt at all!

When the emperor was happy, he wanted to take her hot spring away!

When Princess Minghua heard about this, she hurried to report to her father, "That was a hot spring villa that my daughter, Song Mingli, and Tong Wanyu opened together. And it was mainly their business."

"They were afraid that two women in Kyoto wouldn't be able to protect this piece of land, so they asked their daughter to join them!"

"If it was my own hot spring, I would have offered it to you without you asking. But now it belongs to your daughter-in-law and the daughter of your minister. Look..."

The father-in-law wants to take away his daughter-in-law’s hot spring... My father is not that shameless.

Only then was the hot spring villa that she carefully built preserved.

Because of this, Princess Minghua decided to give Song Mingli some dowry.

Not to mention, the gold mine on the other side of the mountain has even more impressive output.

When Tong Wanyu came to deliver her dowry, some young ladies from aristocratic families who had little relationship with Song Mingli also came to try to get close to him.

Therefore, the Song family is very lively every day.

Although Song Mingli was marrying for the second time, her dowry was more than ten times that of her first marriage.

In the blink of an eye, Song Mingli's wedding day arrived.

She was woken up by Zisu and Molan early in the morning. While she was still dozing off, she was pushed in front of the dressing table and had her hair combed and put on powder and makeup.

Song Mingli, who had been married once and lived many years, was familiar with the routine process.

She was not nervous at all. She even found it very interesting to see the nervous people around her.

The wedding dress from the palace was delivered three days in advance, although the style was exactly the same as last time.

But for some reason, not only Song Mingli, but everyone felt that this wedding dress was more exquisite and luxurious than the last one, and the silk had a smoother and shinier luster.

The wedding dress was so complicated that it took the three maids a long time to put it on.

It took more than an hour to prepare the phoenix crown and makeup.

Suddenly, there was a burst of firecrackers outside.

The maids said excitedly, "Here he comes, the son-in-law is here!"

The aunt from the Song family who has both sons and daughters and a harmonious marriage is today's Madam Fuquan.

She quickly picked up the veil and carefully covered Song Mingli with it.

Song Mingli covered her head with the veil and waited for two moments, but her brother still did not come to carry her out.

Isn't this right?

Based on her experience, she knew that after the firecrackers had gone off, her brother would carry her to the bridal sedan.

Why have we waited so long today and there is still no movement?

"Aunt?" Song Mingli lifted the veil and looked at Madam Fuquan.

Many relatives have asked my aunt to be Madam Fuquan, and she has seen many such scenes. She should know what is going on, right?

But the aunt also showed a look of anxiety and confusion on her face, "No, don't worry, I'll ask someone..."

It seems that this situation is not common for her?

Song Mingli nodded, "Molan, you go..."

"No," the aunt stopped Molan, "I'll ask the maid outside to go, and the big maid next to the princess should stay by your side all the time."

The aunt went out and called a seemingly smart little maid to see what was going on outside and why Young Master Song hadn't come to send his sister off to get married yet?

The front yard was very lively, and almost all the servants in the Song family's front yard went to watch the fun.

The little maid tried to squeeze in for a long time but couldn't.

All I heard was a "bang" from inside.

Prince Jing followed with a full-throated voice, "You lose! Can you let me pick up the bride now?"
