After the heroine was robbed, save the paranoid villain

This incident involving Xiao Jiashan has made all parties lose face.

First, the emperor got furious and called Xiao Jiashan to give him a severe scolding.

Xiao Jiashan has always known that his father favors his third brother and his mother, and hates himself and his mother.

If the empress dowager was not the queen mother's biological aunt, she would never be made queen, and even the emperor would be unwilling to touch her.

Perhaps the two of them will spend decades alone in a remote palace.

Therefore, Xiao Jiashan was full of fear and deep resentment towards the emperor since he was a child.

In today's drama, he naturally thought that the emperor was performing a double act with Xiao Chengji and was deliberately embarrassing him.

Emperor Jianxing was not aware of the Queen's accusation against Princess Qin. He had not set foot in the harem in the past few days and had not even inquired about the Queen's illness.

Therefore, he was not aware that Xiao Chengji was taking revenge on Xiao Jiashan.

He was disappointed with Xiao Jiashan, completely disappointed.

A prince attending such occasions and having an affair with an oiran was something that had never been heard of or seen in the Wei Dynasty.

They, the Xiao family, are a noble family, have they fallen to this point?

Is it that Xiao Jiashan has no palace maids in his mansion, or no concubines and maids, so he has to go to such a dirty place to seek pleasure?

It would have been fine if he had shamelessly committed adultery with the woman who was engaged to his brother, but now he is getting involved with some courtesan.

Did he even know how to write the word shame? Did he know what the people would say about the princes of the Wei Dynasty? Was this right for the heavens, the earth, and the ancestors?

The fifth prince was kicked twice by the emperor. His ribs were really painful and he knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up at all.

A moment later, Queen Zheng and Queen Mother Zheng came hurried over.

When Queen Zheng saw that the Fifth Prince was beaten by the Emperor again, she hugged him and cried.

The emperor was disgusted when he saw her like this.

Queen Zheng was the emperor's cousin. The two had known each other for a long time and had seen each other since childhood.

When the emperor was young, he hated his cousin. At that time, he liked stringed instruments, flutes and the Xiao, and he had said that no one was allowed to touch his things. Empress Zheng tore all the strings of his favorite guqin, and after being scolded by him, she went to cry in front of Empress Dowager Zheng, who scolded the emperor in return.

Later, when she was middle-aged, she killed the emperor's most beloved woman in the same way.

It's all injustice.

In fact, Queen Zheng's illness had not yet fully recovered. Her eyes were swollen like walnuts due to crying. She hugged the Fifth Prince and cried, asking the Emperor to kill her instead of the Fifth Prince.

The emperor glanced at her with a cold and chilling look.

Queen Mother Zheng came over with a cane, and several eunuchs and palace maids were supporting her carefully.

"What did the Fifth Prince do wrong that you treat him like this?" Queen Mother Zheng's voice was old and stern. "He was young and ignorant, and was deceived by the treacherous people and led astray by the villains around him. Emperor, are you young and ignorant too?"

The emperor's face was still gloomy: "Mother, don't bring up age. When I was the same age as him, I never went to such an occasion."

"You have never been there. You favored a troublemaker and didn't go to other palaces, causing panic among the people."

When the emperor heard what Empress Dowager Zheng said, his face suddenly changed.

Queen Mother Zheng's tone softened: "Emperor, Shan'er is your child, why do you have to do this? If the person who went to the brothel today was the King of Qin, would you be so angry?"

The emperor sneered repeatedly.

If the person who went there was the King of Qin, I'm afraid the emperor would kill the entire brothel and the subordinates who brought him there, and put the King of Qin in solitary confinement for half a month.

It was so hard to raise a child, but he ended up like this. Do you really think he can do whatever he wants?

Although the King of Qin has been violent and arrogant over the years, he has never done anything so shameful.

The emperor glanced at the fifth prince coldly and said, "The son is not worthy of his father."

This sentence was a bit heavy, like a heavy stone pressing down on you, or like a knife that decides life or death.

The Fifth Prince was trying to persuade Queen Zheng not to cry, but after hearing the Emperor's words, his face turned pale.

Queen Mother Zheng also couldn't stand the Queen's behavior.

As the queen of a country, she would just cry here when encountering something, and then go back to her home and lose her temper in front of the eunuchs and palace maids.

The Queen Mother asked the palace maids and eunuchs to help the Queen and the Fifth Prince up, and she concluded the matter in a lighthearted manner.

"The Fifth Prince has always been simple-minded. He was harmed by the people around him today." Queen Mother Zheng glanced at Empress Zheng and said, "Empress, go back and give the Fifth Prince a good scolding. You two can go back first. Emperor, have someone call Marquis Dong Xin and Prince Kang Ping. I want to see how they discipline their son. They actually called the Fifth Prince to a place like this."

The emperor sent someone to call Marquis Dongxin and Prince Kangping over.

In fact, both of them had received the news and were worried at home.

Both families have declined over the years, and the two men have no real positions in the court. It is unknown how long it has been since they last saw the emperor.

When he entered the palace this time, he was scolded by Empress Dowager Zheng.

We have to find a scapegoat for what happened to the Fifth Prince today. After all, someone of the Fifth Prince's status cannot be wrong.

Marquis Dongxin and Prince Kangping both enjoyed great success outside, after all, one was a marquis and the other a prince.

But in front of Queen Mother Zheng, they were like dogs. They took all the blame and said that they were bad parents and it had nothing to do with the Fifth Prince.

The emperor had a gloomy face and remained silent for a long time.

Empress Dowager Zheng knew that she was old and half of her body was buried in the ground. The power in her hands was getting smaller and smaller, while the power in the hands of the emperor was getting larger and larger. If she passed away one day, there would be no way to clean up the mess.

In most cases, the emperor had to look at her face.

Now Empress Dowager Zheng had to look at the emperor's face.

The emperor didn't say anything. After Queen Mother Zheng had scolded him, he let Marquis Dongxin and King Kangping leave.

That night, the young master of Prince Kangping's mansion died.

This young man was born out of wedlock. There were many young men in the Prince Kangping's mansion, and he was not conspicuous among them.

Because he had been currying favor with the Fifth Prince in the past two years, his status in the mansion had risen, and even his biological mother and aunt were proud. He was seventeen years old this year, and had originally thought that he could use his relationship with the Fifth Prince to get a better marriage and make a difference in the officialdom in the future.

Because of what Queen Mother Zheng said, Prince Kangping felt that his son had brought disaster to the family, so he ordered his servants to beat him severely. He did not dare to make a loud sound while being beaten, and the force of the board was too heavy, and he died halfway through the beating.

For a young man like this who is not yet twenty years old and whose mother is still an aunt, it would not make much of a fuss even if she died.

Once many things in the capital involve the royal family, it is difficult to understand without bloodshed and loss of life. Anyway, the people are buried like this.

But after this incident, every family in the capital became alert.

Once it involves the fight for the throne and the succession, it is a serious crime of confiscating the property.

Even if these dignitaries are not involved, if you have close contacts with the prince, you may gain some benefits if you are lucky, but you may lose your life if you are unlucky.
