Chapter 228: Disposition

The same rules apply, if the emperor doesn't tell him to stop, the guards will keep beating until the emperor says to stop.

The fear in Jiang Jingyue's heart was getting deeper and deeper, and the slaps in her ears were like a reminder, making her panic.

I don't know what suddenly occurred to her. She suddenly rushed towards Jiang Yi and screamed: "Aunt! Aunt! I didn't want to harm my cousin. Please believe me, aunt. I really didn't want to harm her. I never wanted to harm my cousin - "

"Jiang Jingyue." Jiang Yi looked at her expressionlessly, her tone was calm, and she did not distinguish between happiness and anger. "The emperor is trying your case tonight. It is useless for you to beg me. I have been away from the Jiang family for fourteen years, and I have treated you the same." I don’t know, how can I trust you?”

"But...but we are a family." Jiang Jingyue's face was pale, her eyes were red, and there was a humble pleading in her eyes, "Aunt, we are a family...You are the biological daughter of my grandfather and grandmother, and my father's biological daughter." Sister, my relative who has broken bones and connected tendons, aunt!”

A family?

Jiang Yi put down the tea cup, leaned forward, reached out and patted her face: "Good niece, aunt also knows that our bones and muscles are connected to each other, but it's a pity that even my daughter can't tolerate this family. No, what’s the use of begging me now?”

"I am the Queen of Jin State now. I am busy with so many affairs in Jin State. How can I have time to care about your affairs in Mu State?"

"The emperor asks you a question, and you answer truthfully." Jiang Yi let go of her and sat up straight, "I have been the queen of Jin for so many years, and I am no stranger to your little tricks. This trick is of no use to me. "

Jiang Jingyue froze and took back her hands in despair.

Emperor Zhaocheng frowned and looked at her: "You are now the royal wife, how can you be so rude?"

Jiang Jingyue came back to her senses with a jolt, and stiffly stepped back and knelt down, her face so pale that there was no trace of blood.

The hall was as quiet as death.

Luo Shi's face turned pale, and he watched helplessly as his eldest son was beaten, his second son was beaten, and his daughter was scolded. His heart felt like it was burning on fire, and he almost couldn't help but stand up and kneel down several times.

However, when he saw the cold and majestic face of Emperor Zhaocheng, he was too panicked to speak.

"Jiang Jingyue." Emperor Zhaocheng stopped even calling Concubine Xian and called her by her first name, announcing that his patience had run out. "I ask you one last time. When you took Yan Li's underwear, did you initially want to deal with Yan Li?" ?”

Jiang Jingyue bit her lip, trembling with fear. She didn't dare to lie or admit it. She was so panicked that she didn't know what to do.

"Speak!" Emperor Zhaocheng's tone was cold.

Jiang Jingyue trembled violently, tears bursting out of her eyes almost instantly, "I...I..."

Emperor Zhaocheng asked: "Do you want to murder Yan Li?"

"I know I was wrong!" Jiang Jingyue finally admitted her mistake with tears in her eyes, "Please forgive me! My daughter-in-law thought about it at first, but then I regretted it. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me! Please forgive me. !”

Taifu Jiang and Mrs. Jiang looked at her in disbelief: "Jingyue?"

"Sister?" Jiang Tingyi looked at her in shock.

Luo Shi couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up and knelt on the ground with a pale face, but he didn't even dare to plead.

"You regretted it?" Emperor Zhaocheng sneered, "You regretted it, and you used the poisonous snake used to deal with Yan Li on the two nuns. You regretted it and dared to kill people without blinking an eye? You are so vicious at a young age, this is A good granddaughter from the Jiang family!”

"Kind and weak? What a kind and weak person!"

"For the sake of a crown princess, you Jiang family united to bully a weak woman who has no strength to restrain a chicken! You still refuse to give up after grabbing the crown prince's position, and you have to put Yan Li to death? Where are you? Why are you so evil?"

Emperor Zhaocheng slapped the case angrily: "Yan Li had a grudge against you in her previous life, and you are treating her like this in this life?!"

The overwhelming anger and the emperor's pressure shocked everyone in the Jiang family!

Jiang Yunming also knelt on the ground with a "plop".

"My daughter-in-law really knows she was wrong! Please calm down!" Jiang Jingyue didn't dare to raise her head, she just kept begging for mercy and admitting her mistake, "Those two nuns... they were too strict. My daughter-in-law really couldn't stand it anymore, so they did it. My daughter-in-law It wasn’t intentional, my daughter-in-law really didn’t mean it…”

There was dead silence in the huge hall.

Taifu Jiang looked gloomy.

Jiang Yunming and Luo Shi had earth-colored faces and were trembling all over.

The three Jiang brothers were as stiff as wooden statues. Their eyes fell on Jiang Jingyue's face as pale as paper, and they could hardly believe what they heard.

Did Jingyue really kill two nuns?

Wasn't it because he was wronged by the emperor, or because he was frightened into lying when he was forced to question him?

So she really stole Yan Li's inner clothes and tried to let the poisonous snake bite Yan Li to death?

"Your Majesty!" Luo Shi seemed to have suddenly recovered from the blow, and knelt forward, "It is my wife who has failed to teach my daughter well. Please punish me! Your Majesty, everything is my wife's fault. I will punish you if you want." Wife! Jingyue really likes the prince so much. She and the prince... no, she and King Xian are so in love that they can't help themselves. Please forgive me for the crime of incompetent treatment of the wife and daughter of the minister. Jingyue, please, Your Majesty!”

"We are in love, do you love King Xian too much?" Emperor Zhaocheng felt ridiculous for a moment when he heard these words, "In that case, I will help them."

An ominous premonition flashed through Jiang Jingyue's heart.

"Starting from today, Jiang Jingyue will be demoted to Prince Xian's side concubine, and she will be under house arrest with Prince Xian. She will not be allowed to go out for the rest of her life without an edict." Emperor Zhaocheng ordered, ruthlessly, "Xiao Changhai, I will prepare the imperial edict when I return to the palace later. Tomorrow morning Send it to King Xian."

"This slave obeys your order."

"I will punish the king and his concubine with a year's salary, let them reflect on their hard work, and not accept any help from anyone."

"I obey your order."

Emperor Zhaocheng looked at Luo coldly: "Since Madam Jiang knows that she is not good at educating her daughter, she should stay at home and teach her son well in the future. She is not allowed to enter the palace without an imperial decree or attend banquets at officials' homes. The three grandsons of the Jiang family are deprived of their qualifications to enter the government and join the army."

Jiang Tingyi and the other two collapsed to the ground as if struck by lightning.

Luo's face turned pale and she couldn't say a word.

"Since Jiang Yunming has no achievements, he should have less contact with noble officials in the future." Emperor Zhaocheng stood up and said intimidatingly, "The concubine of Prince Xian has been out for a long time. When you go back tonight, tell Prince Xian that you will go to the palace to meet your ninth uncle and ninth aunt tomorrow morning. This is the last family banquet before your imprisonment. Don't be late."

Jiang Jingyue's face was pale and she collapsed on the ground in despair.

Concubine of Prince Xian.

The last family banquet?

Does the emperor mean that she will stay with Prince Xian in the deserted Prince Xian's mansion for the rest of her life?

Tomorrow morning, I will go to the palace to pay respects to the Ninth Uncle and Ninth Aunt... What a great Ninth Aunt.

Jiang Jingyue thought with gritted teeth, why did Yan Li, that bitch, have such good luck? She is a jinx!

If not, she would not have ended up like this!

Yan Li is the culprit.

"Go back to the palace." Emperor Zhaocheng shook his sleeves and walked out without looking back.

Jiang Yi stood up and looked around at the Jiang family members present without any expression. His tone was cold and disgusted: "The glory and splendor that the Jiang family should have enjoyed was destroyed by your selfishness. You can't blame anyone."

After that, he left without any nostalgia.
