Chapter 34
"Mu Guogong, do you still remember that my Qing family is strong and full of loyalty?"

At this point, Qingyu's eyes turned red.

She was unfair to the Qing family!

Over the past hundred years, how many sons of her Qing family have made great military exploits, and how many loyal souls have been shrouded in horse leather and spilled blood on the battlefield.

But the people in Shengjing enjoyed the stability brought by her Qing family as they should, and at the same time belittled the Qing family to the dust.

Mu Qi is one of them.

Without her Qing family, how could there be today's big night, and where would Mu Qi's current honor come from!

"But now, I, Qingyu, are the only one left in the Andinghou's mansion, so I let others bully me?"

"Even if I, Qingyu, am a woman, I can hold up half the sky of the Qing family!"

There was a resounding sound, and the faces of all the people present were full of astonishment.

It was only then that everyone remembered that behind Shengjing's stability and peace was the Qing family's hard work guarding the border.

It was the Qing family who took care of everything and guarded the peace of this great night for a hundred years.

"My grandfather was blood-stained on the battlefield, and the late emperor conferred the title of Marquis of Anding, but his descendants were so unbearable in the eyes of Duke Mu. I don't know whether Duke Mu disdains the Qing family who defended Daye's hundred years of peace, or Emperor Daye?"

Qingyu's watery eyes fixed on Mu Qi, with a faint hostility emerging.

Even though Mu Qi has been in a high position for many years, under Qing Yu's gaze, cold sweat still breaks down on his forehead.

Ning Zhi looked sideways, at this moment Qingyu was shining like a dazzling sun.

Ye Lingchen was also taken aback, the members of the Qing family should not be underestimated.

After a while, Mu Qi finally knelt on the ground and shook his head heavily, "Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty."

Ye Lingchen originally wanted to beat up the Mu family, punishing the Mu family for a small punishment.

But now that Qingyu has spoken to such an extent, it is unreasonable not to severely punish the Mu family.

What's more, although Qing Yu was apparently alone, behind her was the Jin An Yu clan and the unknown Gu sect.

"Qing An is right. Duke Mu is old, and it's time for him to take care of himself."

Mu Qi raised his head abruptly, his face was full of astonishment, and his hale and hearty eyes were full of disbelief.

Ye Lingchen actually... cut off his position as Duke!
He knew that Ye Lingchen would be punished, but he never thought that it would be such a severe punishment.

Then it occurred to him that behind Qing Yu was the Jin An Yu family.
He was wrong, he shouldn't provoke Qing Yu, the evil star!

"As for the position of Duke Mu, the eldest son of Duke Mu, Mu Mingyue, will be in charge. I wonder what Duke Mu thinks?"

"The old minister obeys the order."

Although it shows that the Mu family's duke title is still in their hands secretly, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a precursor to the Mu family's loss of power.

The Mu family is already in a high position, and Ye Lingchen has long been afraid of another Concubine Ning, but it's just that he didn't find the right opportunity.

But now Qingyu's move perfectly created an opportunity for Ye Lingchen.

"Ruan Mingqi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, has no way to teach women and indulges women too much. He was removed from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials and demoted to be a servant of the Ministry of Officials."

Ruan Mingqi was full of defeat. He took advantage of the Mu family's power to get to where he is today, but he never thought that one day he would also be implicated because of the Mu family.

"As for the Miss Ruan family, as a lady from a famous family, she is arrogant and domineering, she acts recklessly and loses her morals. She is banned from leaving the house for a year."

Ruan Zheng's face turned pale, and he immediately collapsed to the ground.

She was beaten and punished, but her father and grandpa were bothered.

He doubted Ye Lingchen's decision in every way in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak.

What she was even more afraid of was whether she would lose the Mu family's favor after today.

Although she is arrogant and willful, she also knows that compared to Ruan Mingqi, Mu Qi is her real backer.

In the end, all the grievances were passed on to Qingyu.

If it wasn't for Qing Yu, why would she be here!

Qingyu, let's wait and see!
After the punishment was over, Ye Lingchen dismissed all members of the Mu family and Ruan family, leaving only Qing Yu and Ning Zhi.

The Mu family came with their heads held high, but when they left they were all disheveled. The eunuchs and maidservants in the palace could not help secretly guessing what happened.

"Ning Zhi, you asked me to give you a marriage last night, is this true or false?"

Only Ning Zhi and Qing Yu were left, and Ye Lingchen spoke out.

"Of course it's true."

"Then do you still remember the marriage contract between the Ning clan and the royal family?"

Ye Lingchen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Ning Zhi.

A hundred years ago, the Ning family and the Ye family jointly conquered the Great Ye Kingdom, but the ancestors of the Ning family had no intention of becoming emperor, so another war was avoided.

The Ye family succeeded to the throne, and the Ning family was granted the title of King Ning, inheriting the title from generation to generation.

In order to protect the stability of the Ye Clan's throne and to give the Ning Clan enough honor, the main concubines of Ning Kings in all dynasties are all princesses of the royal family without exception.

But now, Ning Zhi, as the eldest son, asked to marry Qingyu, which obviously broke the rules.

Ning Zhi raised his head and met Ye Lingchen's eyes, and there was no wave in his shining purple eyes.

"remember."

"Since I remember it, why did I do such things that violate the ancestral system?"

"You are the eldest son of Prince Ning's Mansion, you have your own responsibilities!"

At this point, Ye Lingchen's tone couldn't help becoming a little harsher.

Concubine Ning is the princess of the royal family. This is a customary rule between the Ning family and the royal family, but Ning Zhizhi wants to break this rule.

As an emperor, he naturally couldn't tolerate it.

Qing Yumo stood aside, her brows and eyes drooping, showing no emotion.

In this game between Ye Lingchen and Ning Zhi, she just needs to be an outsider with peace of mind.

Ning Zhi's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly called "Uncle".

Ye Lingchen was startled, he almost forgot that Ning Zhi was not only the eldest son of Prince Ning's mansion, but also the only bloodline of his direct sister.

But it was because of this only blood that he had to force Ning Zhi to marry Ye Jinyu.

Ning Zhi's eldest concubine must be a royal princess.

No one can change this point!

Seeing Ye Lingchen's eyes stained with firmness again, Ning Zhi said indifferently, "Do you still remember the scene when my mother and concubine married into Prince Ning's mansion?"

Ye Lingchen's eyes flickered slightly, lost in memory.

He seemed to have seen the scene of Ye Zhaoyue kneeling in front of him begging on the day before she got married again.

He knew that Ye Zhaoyue's heart belonged, but it was her destiny to marry into Prince Ning's mansion.

So he ignored her pleading and sent her to the sedan chair.

In the blink of an eye, the picture flickered, but it was the day when Yu Qian got married.

He still remembered that she was wearing a fiery red wedding dress, and her delicate face was even more delicate after careful makeup.

He watched his favorite woman get into the bridal sedan chair, lead the red silk with someone else, and become someone else's wife.

The screen turned again, but it was Ye Zhaoyue's new grave and Yu Qian's spiritual seat.

In the depths of the eyes, sadness flashed past.

Members of the royal family have always been so involuntary.

He is like this, Ye Zhaoyue is like this, Ning Zhi is like this.

"The tragedy of mother and concubine's life is all caused by you, uncle."

Ning Zhi spoke indifferently, as if telling someone else's story.

Ye Lingchen's expression froze, was he... the one who caused the tragedy in Ye Zhaoyue's life?
