Twin Brocade

Chapter 426 Youzhou

With the bad record of Wei Jiahang using red-crowned snake saliva to have fun in the past, plus the cyan porcelain bottle found at the scene, the poison left on Rong Baolin's body, and two witnesses.

All of this constitutes a complete chain of evidence, pointing to the fact that Wei Jiahang made a big mistake on a whim.

He offended Rong Baolin, which was tantamount to putting a green hat on his imperial grandfather.Just ask, which emperor in the world can tolerate such a fact?
And being framed was just a one-sided opinion of the prince and Wei Jiahang.In this way, even if Emperor Qinglong didn't fully believe it, he half believed it.

The hall fell silent, only the intermittent sobbing of the Crown Princess was left.

Emperor Qinglong looked at the prince, full of disappointment.He sighed, got up and said: "Forget it, this matter ends here. Wei Jiahang will be deprived of the title of County King, and will go to Youzhou to serve immediately, and will be incorporated into the Zhenbei Army, and he will never be able to return to Beijing."

He didn't take Wei Jiahang's life right away, it was already for the prince's sake, he was extra merciful.

After hearing his punishment, Wei Jiahang was dripping with sweat, and fell limp on the bright bricks, his eyes glazed over.A few days ago, he was ambitious and wanted to compete with his elder brother, but in a blink of an eye he became a commoner and was exiled to a place like Youzhou?
His future, his grand plans and ambitions, were all in vain at this moment.

The prince secretly breathed a sigh of relief, since Emperor Qinglong showed mercy, it meant that he did not blame himself for this incident.

However, the princess didn't think so.

She was stunned for a moment, then kowtowed on the ground, and said: "My daughter-in-law begs my father to take back my life, and don't rush Hang'er to Youzhou. He was born in the capital and grew up in the capital, and tomorrow is the first day of the new year. It’s freezing in the cold. Wouldn’t it kill him to suddenly go to such a far place?”

"Shut up!" The prince turned sideways, glared and shouted: "What do you know?" This wife really failed to succeed but failed. How could she question her father's desire for her grandson's life? Isn't this adding fuel to the flames?

The Crown Princess shrank visibly, but for the sake of her son, she also went all out, and said sadly: "Father, why don't you send your minister and daughter-in-law to Youzhou together. Hang'er is so young, he doesn't understand anything yet, How can one live there alone?"

But Emperor Qinglong is the emperor who changed his decision just because of her begging, looked at her coldly, and said: "Hang'er made a big mistake, and your mother is also responsible. If you want to go, I will not stop you."

After finishing speaking, he said to Empress Cao, "Let's go."

Empress Cao got up, looked at the crown prince and said, "Please persuade me, don't make your father angry again."

After the emperor and empress left, the concubine couldn't bear it any longer, threw herself on the prince and beat her up, saying: "You! Are you a dead person, let people trample on my son like this!"

"He said he was wronged, why don't you believe it?" She cried as she said, "He is also your son, and you are too cruel, even refusing to plead with the emperor."

The prince pushed her hand away impatiently, and reprimanded in a deep voice: "Enough! You don't even look where this is, and you will be charged with disrespect later."

"There are all witnesses and evidence, how do you ask me to plead? You pleaded, is it useful?" The prince was angry at her stupidity, and the princess thought he was too cold-blooded.Here the two dare not speak loudly, but they can't stop arguing.

It's the same when couples in the world quarrel, even the noble prince and his wife.

Wei Jiaren got up from the ground, stood aside with his arms folded, and stared numbly at everything in front of him.The people here are his biological parents, younger brothers and sisters, but he has a ridiculous feeling, as if none of these have anything to do with him, he seems to be watching a drama.

Princess Baochun had been frightened silly for a long time.She didn't expect this matter to be so serious.

Wei Jiahang was paralyzed on the ground, and he still hasn't recovered.In his mind, only the word "Youzhou" rang repeatedly.That place, he had only heard people mention it, was a difficult place with poor mountains and rough waters.

And where did he go when he was demoted to a commoner?This made his mind go blank and he couldn't think at all.

But since Emperor Qinglong had already ordered it, the result could not be changed.

The night outside is falling layer by layer. This is a family reunion New Year's Eve.This night was extremely difficult for the Prince's House, but for many families, it was the happiest day of the year.

The Fang family's New Year's Eve banquet has already ended, tea and cakes are prepared in the warm pavilion of Mingyu Courtyard, and adults and children laugh and watch the night together.

Looking at the night outside the window, Fang Jinshu silently thought about something on his mind.

She is not qualified to participate in the pilgrimage in the palace, so she doesn't know what happened in the palace.But she had a strong premonition that Wei Yixin would not let go of such a great opportunity.

Maybe, there will be a result tomorrow.

"What are you thinking about?" Fang Jinhui walked to her side and asked softly, "But I'm worried about the prince's mansion coming to propose marriage."

Fang Jinshu nodded with a smile and said, "Exactly. I hope this matter will subside after the Chinese New Year."

"It's all because my sister is useless, she can't help much." Fang Jinhui blamed himself.In her marriage with Gong Wenjue, Fang Jinshu helped her a lot.This time it was my sister's turn, but she could only watch.

"Big sister, what are you talking about?" Fang Jinshu said with a smile: "That's the Prince's Mansion, what can we do? Besides, in the past, when big sister protected me, how many times?"

"My younger sister is still waiting for the eldest sister to become the young wife of the Gong family, taking care of her younger sister." She joked with a smile.

A red cloud flashed across Fang Jinhui's face, and said angrily: "Sister, you are teasing me again." She glanced at the lively crowd in the room, and whispered: "Sister, let's go out and talk."

"What?" Fang Jinshu was a little surprised.

"You just come with me." Fang Jinhui tugged at her sleeve, stepped forward and said to Si Lansheng, "Mother, my sister and I are going out to watch the fireworks."

Si Lansheng, who was talking to Fang Shuyu, turned her head and said, "Go, fasten your cloak, and don't catch a cold."

Seeing that they were going out, Fang Jinyi also wanted to follow. Aunt Bai tugged at her, and said, "Miss Six is ​​here to play with me." In other words, don't let Fang Jinyi add to the chaos.

The two put on their cloaks under the service of the maid, went out of the room, and walked along the corridor.

The New Year's Eve is different from normal days, because many merchants return to their hometowns for reunion, and there are fewer odd jobs, so the whole city of Luoyang is much deserted.But the lights of this night are dotted with stars, emitting a warm light.

At this hour on weekdays, all households have already turned off their lights and rested.Watching the New Year's Eve today, the whole city is shrouded in a warm orange halo.

Fang Jinhui reached out and pulled up the hood of Fang Jinshu's cloak, and said, "It's cool in the night, so don't be careless."
