Don't panic, my mother and I are dressed as Houfu mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!

Chapter 144
A black line appeared on the emperor's forehead, and he pulled his face and said: "Even if you have ten outer chambers, how much will it cost? That's tens of millions... Forget it, it's useless to ask you, no matter what, this matter is in court. The influence is bad, and the Duke’s Mansion should bear the main responsibility, since you have come to plead guilty, let me tell you how I will punish you for offending you?"

Xue Lan hesitated and said: "It is reasonable to say that the father's debt should be paid when the Duke dies. If the emperor wants to punish him, why not give Guo the position of the son of Chengye?"

The superior didn't expect her to make such a proposal, so he was stunned for a while, and then he vetoed it: "Although this matter has a bad influence, it will not take away the title. Guo is gone, who will inherit the position of Duke in the future?"

Xue Lan thought about it a few times. Although the emperor had already done something secretly, no one knew how much he was afraid of the Duke's Mansion, and what kind of situation he planned to put the Duke's Mansion in. She raised Guo Jue first, just to test Out of the emperor's limit.

The result was somewhat beyond her expectations.

She pretended to be terrified and fell on the ground and said: "My wife is grateful for the grace, and she is still thinking about the future of the Duke's Mansion, but this matter is indeed mishandled by my wife and Cheng Ye. If you don't punish me, I really feel ashamed."

After some ideological struggle, she finally gritted her teeth and said: "I know that I can't lead the Duke's mansion with Chengye. To show my sincerity, I wish Chengye to give up the position of son, and Hengye will take over the title on his behalf!"

One is his own son and the other is adopted son. Saying these words in Xue's identity is the most serious punishment.

Unexpectedly, the first paperweight was slapped on the table: "Nonsense! It's about the orthodoxy of the Duke's mansion. Does the heir say that he can change it?"

This time Xue Lan was really taken aback. In fact, this time she entered the palace, she did have plans to change the prince. After all, with Chengye's temperament, even if she becomes a prince in the future, she will probably be idle and it will be difficult to support the Duke's mansion. heavy burden.

And Hengye has the ability and responsibility, the only thing it lacks is the identity of a legitimate leader.

And with his nature of repaying kindness, after accepting the title, Song Chengye can continue to be rich and peaceful as the young master of the Duke's Mansion.

Whoever thinks about it will be rejected by the emperor.

Carefully scrutinizing the emperor's expression, seeing that he didn't seem to be pretending to shirk, Xue Lan was a little puzzled. Before Song Lian was there, the emperor asked him to give the position of son to Hengye more than once, overtly and secretly. Why did the emperor change his mind after he died?
At this moment, she even wondered if there was a deviation in the memory left by Mrs. Xue. Did the emperor never intend to change his son?
However, the superior did not give her time to think deeply, and said with a heart-to-heart look: "Mr. Song has only one parent and son under his knees, and the monarch and his ministers are involved. I can't do anything to make him feel cold. I will rest from this matter. Bring it up again."

Xue Lan only felt disgusted by his high-sounding appearance. If he really cared about the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, what would the successive plans for the Duke's Mansion be?
But these inner activities can't be revealed, and she has to look relieved, she thanked her again: "My wife is on behalf of the Duke, thank the emperor for his grace!"

After thanking her, Xue Lan stopped talking, the left and right emperors had already made a decision, she is here to act, and then just obey the arrangement honestly.

Sure enough, the emperor sighed slightly, got up and walked in front of her with his hands behind his back, and helped her up himself.

"I know that if Duke Song had a spirit in heaven, he would definitely not want to see the current situation. But the matter has come to this point, and it is difficult for the common people to be angry if there is no punishment. Why don't we temporarily decree that the title of the Duke of Ningguo should be reduced to the title of the Duke in the future? If Chengye can do something like his father, I will make a decree to become a noble."

In the Great Jin Dynasty, both Duke and Marquis belonged to the first rank, but there was a huge disparity in their status. If one did not have full achievements, it would be as difficult as ascending to the sky.

And when Song Chengye does something, I'm afraid it will be more mysterious than her traveling with Yoyo.

But no matter what, the emperor has already conceded the crime, and he should not trouble the Duke's House in a short time. For them, there is no substantial difference between the Duke and the Duke.

So Xue Lan thanked her a thousand times, expressed her heartfelt heart again, and before resigning, she mentioned in a cryptic manner that among her relatives there were a few women of the right age, all of them were gentle, skillful and understanding.

The emperor has been disturbed by Concubine Meng and the empress recently, and he has not been to the harem for a long time, and he heard the words: "There will be a draft soon, if Madam is interested, she will submit her name at that time."

Xue Lan said: "There are still nearly two months before the draft, but relatives sent her to the Duke's mansion early in the morning. After all, she is an unmarried woman, and it's not like that to live in the mansion for a long time. Your Majesty, do you think so? "

Song Chengye took six concubines within three months of his newlyweds. The emperor thought that she was worried about causing scandal, so he waved his hand indifferently and said, "In that case, madam, please send them into the palace. The place is deserted, there should be a few more people to be lively."

Xue Lan thanked her again, and was about to leave, but the emperor suddenly called her to a stop, and then signaled to Deng Tongtong next to her: "It's already a curfew, and it's raining heavily again, please send the Duke's wife back on my behalf~ By the way, The imperial decree to reduce the title is also brought."

Everyone knows well that the second half of the sentence is the key point. Deng Tong accepted the imperial edict and stepped forward with a smile: "Mrs. Song, please."

The emperor had already sat back on the dragon chair, and picked up the memorial to review again.

Xue Lan hesitated for a moment, and then asked: "Your Majesty, regarding the daughter-in-law of the minister, Mrs. Gu, both of her parents are dead, and there are no other elders in the family who can be entrusted to. If she is directly driven out of the mansion, I am afraid that someone will Poke the spine."

The emperor raised his head from behind the memorial, and there was a bit of an ambiguous smile in his indifferent eyes: "Oh? Then Madam Yi, how should she deal with it?"

In fact, Xue Lan really wanted to take a gamble. In order to have a proper relationship with her daughter, she made a request to the emperor to consider Yoyo as a righteous daughter.

But now that the future direction of the Duke's Mansion is unknown, it might not be a good thing for Youyou to cut off contact with the Duke's Mansion, so she restrained her impulse and changed her words: "Mr. Gu is just a poor person, but unfortunately he has nothing to do with Chengye , when she entered the door before, the Duke promised her a valuable dowry, this time when she leaves the mansion, the court wife wants her to take away all that she deserves."

The emperor's eyes relaxed, he buried his head in the memorial again, waved his hands and said: "That is your family matter, Madam can decide on her own, there is no need to discuss it with me."

Coming out of the palace, Xue Lan realized that her back was drenched in cold sweat. She had originally planned to go to the backyard of the tea shop after leaving the palace, but she had to give up as soon as Deng Tong came out of the palace.

Afraid that her daughter would be worried, she whispered to the girl next to her to find Bu Tian as soon as she returned home and ask him to report to the tea shop.
