Condescending and Condescending

In less than half an hour, the matter has already spread throughout the capital.

After all, Fang Yanqin was the one who broke into Peng's house with soldiers in broad daylight.

Upon hearing this news, Emperor Yuan Ping, who hadn't felt dizzy for a long time, almost fainted on the spot.

"Quick, quicker!"

On the dragon chariot, Emperor Yuanping kept urging.

The ones below were too listening, so they could only grit their teeth and speed up their pace.

Fortunately, Prince Zhao's mansion is just outside the imperial city, so they arrived soon.

"Yuaner, Yuaner..."

After getting off the dragon chariot, Emperor Yuan Ping staggered and rushed in directly.

Seeing him coming in, the princes and princes who were waiting at the side quickly knelt down: "Father, Your Majesty."

Emperor Yuan Ping stopped abruptly, because he saw several imperial physicians treating the second princess.

But he didn't shout, those princes and princes could only continue to kneel on the ground obediently.

After a long time, the last imperial physician finally withdrew his hand from the second princess's wrist.

Emperor Yuan Ping rushed up immediately: "What's the matter, what's the matter with the second princess?"

Those imperial physicians saw Emperor Yuan Ping and quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty."

Emperor Yuan Ping doesn't care about these at all now, and now he just wants to know one thing: "How is the second princess?"

"This--"

Hearing this, the faces of several imperial physicians changed in unison.

Emperor Yuanping was anxious: "You guys are talking about it!"

The leading imperial physician then stood up and said: "The condition of the second princess...is not very good, because the internal organs of the second princess have been eroded by toxins and are riddled with holes. Even Hua Tuo is still alive, and there is nothing he can do, so No matter how meticulously she is nursed back to health, I'm afraid, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to live past the age of 25..."

You must know that the second princess is 22 this year, which means she only has three years to live.

Moreover, the imperial doctor said that her internal organs were already riddled with toxins. It is conceivable that in the next three years, even if she is alive, she will probably be just lingering on the hospital bed.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yuan Ping turned pale, staggered, and fell down.

Fortunately, Fang Yanqin, who happened to come in from the outside, supported him in time.

It's just that Concubine Xian, the second princess's biological mother, was not so lucky. Before she could catch her breath, she hit her head on the ground and woke up again.

And at this moment, the second princess on the bed probably heard the movement in the room, and woke up tremblingly.

Seeing Emperor Yuanping, she instantly burst into tears: "Father Emperor."

When Emperor Yuanping saw it, tears also fell.

He rushed forward and hugged the second princess: "My son!"

"Father is sorry for you and made you suffer..."

"As long as my father could have inspected that Peng Hanyu for a few more days, things would not have turned into what they are now."

The second princess also burst into tears immediately: "Royal Father!"

Then Emperor Yuan Ping remembered that the second princess's health was not good, what if she was hurt because of excessive sadness?

So he quickly let go of the second princess: "Don't cry, don't cry..."

As he spoke, he couldn't stop his own tears.

It took a while before they finally calmed down.

"do not worry."

Emperor Yuan Ping looked at her, gritted his teeth and said, "Father will definitely avenge you."

Hearing this, the second princess was overjoyed at first, then as if she had thought of something, the expression on her face froze again.

"what happened?"

Emperor Yuan Ping followed her gaze, and saw the third prince and fifth prince with pale faces and sweat profusely among the kneeling crowd.

Thinking about the things that the chief eunuch told him on the way, the expression on his face froze little by little.

Only then did the second princess realize, so what if she came back to life?

Her brother, the fifth prince, only cared about his interests, and didn't care about her life or death at all.

Not only did the third prince refuse to save her, he was also the chief culprit who killed Xue Yuan.

What's more, although Peng is not considered to have power in the government and the public, his influence among scholars should not be underestimated.

Even Emperor Yuan Ping often relied on the Peng family to balance the financial problems of the imperial court.

So can Emperor Yuanping abolish the Peng family for her?

Can he still abolish his two biological sons in one go for her?

Sure enough, in the next second, she heard Emperor Yuan Ping say, "Where's the Peng family?"

Fang Yanqin: "They are all locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Emperor Yuan Ping said in a deep voice: "Lang Lang Qian Kun, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there is someone who dares to blatantly murder a princess of a country. His heart can be punished, and his heart can be punished."

"The third child, the fifth child—"

The third and fifth princes hurriedly knelt and walked to the front of the crowd: "My son, my son is here!"

Emperor Yuanping: "This case will be handed over to you for trial."

"The second princess is your own sister, I hope you can seek justice for her."

Hearing this, the second princess's face turned pale again, and her body also faltered.

If this case was handed over to the third and fifth princes for trial, it would be different from directly judging her as the bed curtain in Hong Jin's hands who voluntarily put her head into it.

God really was playing with her, gave her hope, but drove her into despair.

Until she felt another rough friction on her face.

With tears in her eyes, she looked up subconsciously.

It is Emperor Yuanping.

He reached out and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, looked at her, and said silently: Give them another chance, give them another chance.

Even if it is all about the relationship between father and son, brother and sister.

The second princess was stunned immediately.

It never occurred to her that Emperor Yuan Ping was willing to question the Peng family, even the third and fifth princes, for her sake.

Then what else is she dissatisfied with?

At least her father still loves her.

This is enough.

So she nodded vigorously, even the tears in her eyes were shaken out by her.

The third and fifth princes at the bottom couldn't help being stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they realized that the horror on their faces was instantly wiped away, replaced by ecstasy.

"Thank you, father, thank you, father!"

When the others saw this, they looked at each other in blank dismay. They couldn't be bothered to be surprised, but immediately speculated about Emperor Yuanping's intentions.

Seeing this, Fang Yanqin took another look at Emperor Yuanping and the Second Princess, to see whether he had spoken words of dissuasion.

But what happened next was beyond Fang Yanqin's imagination.

Not to mention Emperor Yuanping and the second princess.

That night, Hong Jin, who was imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, committed suicide in fear of crime. She took the child in her belly with her, leaving only a confession letter, admitting that she murdered the second princess because she was jealous of the second princess.

On the morning of the third day, a censor impeached Fang Yanqin for privately dispatching troops and indiscriminately killing court officials. The princess has meritorious service, and she is invited to be crowned king for the dialect.

On the morning of the fifth day, Concubine Xian came, and together with her was a letter written by Peng Hanyu to the second princess.

So when Fang Yanqin came back, he heard the hysterical cries and beating sounds of the second princess from the room: "Are you really my concubine mother, get out, I don't want to see you now, get out..."

Immediately after, the embarrassed concubine Xian took the maid and escaped from the room. Even so, she did not forget to say: "Yuan'er, concubine mother is doing this for your own good, just listen to concubine mother." A word of advice!"

The second princess: "Get out, get out of here..."

Concubine Xian wanted to say something else, but she didn't shut up until the maid beside her reminded her that Fang Yanqin was back.

She obviously didn't expect that Fang Yanqin, who was supposed to be on duty, would come back so early, so she just said hello to Fang Yanqin, and then led the maid away with a guilty expression.

As soon as Fang Yanqin entered the door, he was facing the broken porcelain and letter paper on the ground.

Hearing the movement, the second princess thought it was Concubine Xian who had returned, and immediately wanted to scold her again.

But after seeing Fang Yanqin coming, the words stuck in her throat when she reached her mouth, and then she lay down on the bed, crying silently.

Seeing the letter paper scattered at his feet, Fang Yanqin bent down and picked it up.

Then he froze for a moment, because the letter turned out to be a blood book.

Looking at the content again, what Peng Hanyu wants to express is nothing more than two meanings. One is that the reason why he treated the second princess like that before was because he was deceived by the red brocade. For the sake of kindness, he gave them a chance to change their ways, and he promised to treat the second princess well in the future.

Looking at the pages of 'Yi', 'Ye', and 'Woo Hoo', Fang Yanqin clicked his tongue.

It can only be said that Peng Hanyu is worthy of being the head of the talented people in the capital. With this literary talent, Lin Juemin, who wrote "Letter to My Wife" in this world, would feel ashamed if I saw him. It is affectionate, so although it is not written in blood, every word is coagulated with blood, and this letter, every word and sentence, is shameless, wolf-hearted, and inferior to animals, so although it is written in blood, it makes people sick .

Seeing that he had finished reading the letter, the second princess murmured, "Yanqin, do you know what my concubine mother told me?"

"She told me not to cause trouble to my father."

"She said let me bear with it, because if the news gets out, I will only be the laughing stock in the end."

"She said that the Peng family had promised her that they would make good compensation to me."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help shouting again: "Has she forgotten, I almost died at the hands of the Peng family."

"And what's the use of those compensations, I haven't had a job for a few years."

"What does it mean to ask me not to cause trouble to my father? She clearly doesn't want me to be a fifth younger brother...to let me drag Uncle Cheng down."

"That's right, because of the fraud in the imperial examinations, my grandfather lost his title and was suspended by his father at home. The day of recovery is elusive. Now, with Uncle Cheng's help, there is only one Peng family left. Uncle Cheng is dreaming." They all want to be the emperor, so how could he give up the help of the Peng family."

"To my mother and concubine, I am just a daughter who is married and will not live for a few years. It is Prince Cheng who will bring her greater honor in the future. Therefore, the future of Prince He Cheng is of great concern to me." What's the matter with your life?"

At the end, she couldn't help crying again: "Yanqin, I don't have a concubine mother anymore!"

Fang Yanqin comforted: "It's okay, your five older brothers will be gone soon."

The second princess: "..."

What a consolation.

So much so that she forgot to cry for a moment.

Fang Yanqin smiled, although his method is not very pleasant, but the effect is quite good.

"As for your body—"

Fang Yanqin took out a medicine bottle and handed it to her: "This is a body-reinforcing pill that I specially made for you according to your condition. After taking it for a month or two, you should be fine."

The second princess subconsciously reached out and took the medicine bottle.

Although in her opinion, this so-called Bushen Pill was just something Fang Yanqin used to comfort her, in fact it should not be of any use - after all, even the imperial physician couldn't save her, so how could Fang Yanqin help her.

But she still couldn't help laughing through tears.

Because although she lost her mother and concubine, she still had her father and her cousin Fang Yanqin at least.

It's a pity that her happiness didn't last long.

Because at this time, Emperor Yuanping arrived.

With a haggard look on his face, he threw the folder in his hand on the table: "The third and fifth have closed the case."

Case closed?

It's only a few days.

Fang Yanqin took the notebook and opened it.

Emperor Yuanping covered his face and said, "I originally thought that they could at least have a little conscience, but I still think highly of them."

Forget about the third prince, but the fifth prince is the younger brother of the second princess!

Because his health has not recovered these years, and the frontier has been in turmoil for the past six months, he can only tell the fifth prince to visit the second princess more every time. As a result, every time the fifth prince comes back after watching the second princess, he always says that The princess's condition was fairly stable, so he didn't take this matter too seriously, which caused the second princess to almost die in Peng's family.

But that's okay, because as a father, he should give them a chance to reform themselves.

But reality hit him hard.

"Why did I give birth to such a group of evils?"

"Guess how they closed the case. They said that Hongjin's murder of Yuan'er was all caused by Hongjin's jealousy. The Peng family didn't know about it. Peng Hanyu had no personal relationship with Hongjin. Jin has long been married to the housekeeper of the Shangshu Mansion, and the child in his womb is also the housekeeper's, so he will do everything possible to prevent you from entering the house to save Yuan'er..."

"In short, the Peng family is also a victim in this matter, because Yuan'er is still the daughter-in-law of the Peng family. If they are really guilty, at most they will be guilty of negligence."

Hearing this, the eyes of the second princess turned red again.

Although she had been mentally prepared for a long time, when she really heard this, her heart still couldn't help but ache.

Fang Yanqin: "What about the eldest prince, the second prince and the fourth prince? Are they just letting them do what they want?"

Don't they want to take this opportunity to bring down the third and fifth princes?

Emperor Yuan Ping let out a miserable laugh: "The Peng family gave them 100 million taels of silver each, so they all chose to sit on the sidelines."

For 100 million taels, they sold their own sister?

Who would believe it!

Fang Yanqin suddenly realized: "It's no wonder that two days ago, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty suddenly signed a letter to invite me to be a prince..."

He just said, where did the predecessor and him get such great prestige.

"Thinking about it now, it turned out that he was sharing the spoils with me!"

As for what was distributed, it was naturally the second princess's human blood steamed buns.

Then gag him.

Fang Yanqin: "It's no wonder that when the wife and the old lady of Peng's house received the news, there was no movement at all. The only thing they did was to send a maid to tell that Hongjin the news of my call. It turns out that since then , they have already made a good plan to let Hongjin take the blame."

"Then they killed Hongjin directly. By now, the bodies of her and the child in her stomach are probably already rotten, so even if we want to do a blood test to find out whether the child in her stomach is Peng Hanyu's or not. It's too late, this way, Peng Hanyu will naturally be able to get rid of his relationship with Hongjin, and we can no longer punish him for taking concubines as a son-in-law."

"As expected of a family—"

Emperor Yuanping: "Yes, it is worthy of being a family——"

With the Peng family already imprisoned, they were able to kill Hong Jin and all the servants who knew about it...

It is conceivable how many officials are secretly helping them.

Emperor Yuanping never thought that things would turn out like this in the end.

So much so that they can't even reverse the case now, because all the evidence has been cleaned up by the Peng family.

But why did the Peng family do this when they got the promise of the third and fifth princes and would let them go in the end?

Not to mention that those maids and servants are loyal servants who have served their family for decades, but the child in Hongjin's belly is a seedling in their family's thousand hectares of land, and they are actually able to do it.

Obviously, they are much smarter than the third and fifth princes, and they guessed that the reason why Emperor Yuanping appointed the third and fifth princes to try this case was to test them, that is to say, Emperor Yuanping would definitely not The Peng family will be spared.

So they simply took advantage of this opportunity and destroyed all the evidence in advance.

As for the second princess—how can the words of the victim, the second princess, be considered as evidence, and they can completely say that the second princess has suffered a mental disorder because of too much stimulation, so what she said is all nonsense language.

In this way, even if Emperor Yuanping wanted to settle accounts after the autumn, without evidence and with the support of the entire Peng family, at least for a while, they would be unable to do anything to them.

Thinking of this, Emperor Yuan Ping's eyes also turned red.

Half angry, half guilty.

He said: "Yuan'er, it's the father who is sorry for you."

The second princess was dumbfounded.

It never occurred to her that things have come to this point, and the Peng family can escape.

The point is that she can forget about it, what about Xueyuan's hatred?

She was so young, yet she died so badly.

Emperor Yuanping also felt a little tired all of a sudden: "What the emperor has done is really a failure."

He was played and applauded by a group of courtiers.

So he couldn't help but think, if Prince Renduan was still alive, if he was sitting on the throne now, the Peng family and these officials would dare to despise the royal family so much?

Hearing Emperor Yuanping's words, Fang Yanqin put away the notes.

On the contrary, in his opinion, Emperor Yuanping may not be called a wise emperor, but he is definitely a benevolent emperor.

Otherwise, the predecessor can survive to the present?

Can those honorable and former ministers who ran wild on his head back and forth in those years get a good death one by one?

As long as he was more careful, the current situation would have changed a long time ago.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so dedicated to helping the second princess.

So he said: "Although the evidence is gone, it may not be impossible to avenge the second cousin."

"Send the case back for a retrial."

Hearing this, Emperor Yuanping and the second princess suddenly looked up at him.

Fang Yanqin smiled: "This time, I will interrogate!"
