Be good, call me uncle

Painful choice

The old lady clinker also insisted that this person was not Liu Peiyun at all: "Your Majesty, I will never mistake my granddaughter. I don't know her."

Since the old lady of the Liu family had such an attitude, she naturally overturned everything Liu Peiyun said, and Emperor Yuanwu finally had an excuse to end this farce: "The Ministry of Punishment."

Mr. Li, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, stepped out from the crowd and said, "I am here."

Emperor Yuanwu said: "This woman has ulterior motives. She actually slandered the reputation of Taishu, and because of this, she blocked the chance to go to court and delayed the progress of the court meeting. It is really a heinous crime."

"If everyone was like her, wouldn't Great Qin be in chaos? I will hand the person over to you, torture him, and report anything he finds to me immediately."

Liu Peiyun didn't expect that her grandmother and sister didn't recognize her, and she collapsed immediately. The guards came to arrest her, but she didn't want to surrender, and she yelled and cursed while struggling desperately.

Finally, in desperation, she hit the guard with her head.

This didn't stop the guards. Some of the older men were actually a little afraid of this crazy woman with a face full of abscesses and didn't dare to approach her.

It was Eunuch Lu who found a piece of cloth from nowhere and used it to cover Liu Peiyun's head. Only then was the crazy Liu Peiyun restrained by the guards and dragged down mercilessly.

There was a trace of reluctance in Mrs. Liu's eyes. However, since the Liu family had this immoral thing, she had no choice but to throw it away cruelly. What's more, on this condition, the uncle also promised a position to the Liu family's children.

She could trade her disabled granddaughter for a position of real power and allow her daughter-in-law to send her daughter to Lu Mingyu. After weighing it, she felt that it was a sure-fire deal, so she immediately agreed.

Originally, I wanted my granddaughter to marry her uncle in exchange for the benefits of being a member of the clan. Now that the goal is achieved, what is the process?
The ministers couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. The thunder was loud, the raindrops were light, and the battles were so big. They thought there was something good to watch.

Result: That's it?
It's really boring and a waste of time.

Emperor Yuanwu ordered people to send Mrs. Liu back, and then announced her "retirement".

After all the ministers had left, Emperor Yuanwu couldn't help but wonder: "Lu Xing, what do you think the emperor meant by this?"

Eunuch Lu said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you are referring to..."

Emperor Yuanwu said: "The emperor's uncle clearly looks confident, as if everything is in his plan. It's strange, this is obviously a very easy matter to solve, how could he let that woman make trouble in the court?"

Eunuch Lu analyzed: "Perhaps His Highness wants to put an end to this matter in front of the court to prevent any further involvement in it?"

Emperor Yuanwu said: "There must be this reason, but I don't think it is the main reason. Obviously, the woman should be the real Liu Peiyun, but Liu Peiyun dared to come and beat the Dengwen drum. Is there anyone instigating behind this?"

Eunuch Lu was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Your Majesty, I received a piece of news last night, and I don't know whether to tell it or not."

Emperor Yuanwu said: "What's the matter? Just tell me, I can bear it."

Eunuch Lu whispered: "Your Majesty, our people have found out that on the day of the establishment of the Crown Prince's Palace, Yu Zhen and the Queen Mother deliberately injured King Shen, and then took the opportunity to use the imperial doctor sent by Your Majesty to take care of King Shen to bring some things away. Get out, that thing seems to be the cause of the concubine’s premature birth.”

When Emperor Yuanwu heard this, he stopped and slapped the white marble railing with his hand. There was deep sadness in his eyes: "It seems that as long as I am the emperor, they will not stop."

Eunuch Lu said again: "Your Majesty, are you saying that it is because His Highness the Taishu didn't want to embarrass you, so he didn't go to the trouble of common people Yuzhen, but wanted to use Liu Peiyun's incident to indirectly remind you what common people Yuzhen did? What happened?"

Emperor Yuanwu took a deep breath: "Let our people check whether Liu Peiyun is related to Yu Zhen, and then we will know whether your guess is true or false."

Eunuch Lu said "yes" and stopped talking.

Emperor Yuanwu raised his eyes to look at the majestic imperial city, and stood there for a long time, as if he had made some decision, his expression revealing determination.

Then, he came to the Buddhist hall where the Queen Mother and Yuzhen were worshiping the Buddha. This time he said nothing, let alone angrily asking questions, but just talked to the two of them calmly.

Later, they stayed and had a vegetarian meal together.The Queen Mother thought he had changed his mind and couldn't help but said excitedly: "Cer, are you willing to reconcile with the Ai family?"

Seeing that Emperor Yuanwu didn't answer, she immediately smiled and said: "That's right. There is no overnight feud between mother and son. Even if we have a huge misunderstanding, a family is ultimately a family. Blood is thicker than water. It's not just a few clowns who can kill them at will." Broken relationship."

Emperor Yuanwu put a chopstick of vegetables into the Queen Mother's bowl and said: "Mother, eat the vegetables."

Seeing that he had returned to his usual "filial piety", the Queen Mother quickly struck while the iron was hot: "Cer, you have been very filial since you were a child. When you were two years old, you knew how to give delicious food to the Ai family first. One time, the queen reprimanded the Ai family. You are angry. However, I went and beat up King Shen..."

"The Ai family knows that despite everything that has happened, you are still the most beloved son of the Ai family and the son closest to the Ai family."

Emperor Yuanwu was silent and said: "Mother, my son will always remember your kindness in raising me."

The Queen Mother had been staring at his expression. When she heard this, she finally let out a long sigh of relief. It seemed that her son had figured it out and turned towards her again.

She smiled with great pride in her heart, but she said: "Cer, Yuzhen has learned a lesson after being imprisoned for these days. Half of her body is buried in the ground. It doesn't matter if she is with the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng. But Yuzhen is still alive." Xiao, you can't waste your good years like this, she will get married eventually."

Yuzhen also thought that her brother was finally facing them again, and quickly echoed: "Brother, I know I was wrong. I will never make you angry again by doing nonsense. I promise to be a good boy when I get out and won't cause you any more trouble."

"I hope the emperor can let me out and agree to my marriage to Lu Mingyong. I will never marry anyone other than Lu Mingyong in this life. Even if I become his concubine, I will have no regrets."

At this point, Yu Zhen's lowered eyes burst out with crazy sparks. As long as she marries Lu Mingyong as she wishes, she will definitely make Lu Mingyong and the people around her pay the price to repay the pain she has suffered recently.

The mother and daughter were full of longing for a better future, and their thoughts that had just rested came to life again.

The Queen Mother thought that after her son reconciled with her, she also wanted her son to accept her grandfather's family and preserve the glory of the Duke of Qi.

One's own family, one must look towards one's own family!

Yuzhen, on the other hand, wants to restore her identity as the eldest princess and crush those who hate her under her feet again.

But then, Emperor Yuanwu's words shocked them.

But when Emperor Yuanwu put down his bowl and chopsticks, he said extremely seriously: "Queen Mother, Yuzhen, this is the last time I come to see you. I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore, let alone see your face again."

"Repent your sins in the Buddhist hall! Otherwise, I have many medicines that can make people go unconscious. I don't mind giving you a ride."

The Queen Mother was frightened and murmured: "What... do you mean?"

Emperor Yuanwu looked at the Queen Mother with cold and ruthless eyes and said: "From the time I came in until now, have you ever cared about my body or asked about my current situation? The look in your eyes that you want to benefit from me is true. It makes me sick!"

Yuzhen reacted, crawled and grabbed the hem of Emperor Yuanwu's clothes, and begged: "Brother Emperor, we are blood relatives, you can't do this!"

Emperor Yuanwu kicked her away and said in a calm voice without any emotion: "Especially you, Yuzhen, I am ashamed to be your brother and sister. Your vicious thoughts really disgust me! You'd better reflect on it, otherwise I will kill you."

After saying that, Emperor Yuanwu no longer looked at the embarrassed mother and daughter, flicked his sleeves and left.

As his figure disappeared into the corridor, the heavy palace door was also closed, and several more groups of guards guarded the palace door.

Emperor Yuanwu staggered as he walked. He wiped away the tears on his face indifferently, hid all his sorrow in his heart, and continued to return to Chengming Hall to approve the memorial.

At the same time, Sima Xuanmo was about to go to the Minister of Etiquette to have tea, and asked about the details of the wedding.

But when none of the men returned home, Wen Yin, who had been dormant for a few days, actually found Dong Sui, who had left Taishu's mansion and headed to the flower garden.
