As for the previous farce about the "love triangle", Li Hongyuan was also very straightforward at the beginning. He directly threatened that he liked Sun Yilin, so he might as well let him enter the residence with Sun Yijia. In ancient times, there was a beautiful story of a sister serving a husband. Now that he had a sister serving a husband, it might become a beautiful thing many years later.
Not to mention Le Chengdi and Duke Dingguo, even the Empress was very angry. In the past, whenever Li Hongyuan caused trouble, although she stood in the Empress's position and demanded severe punishment, out of ten times, at least seven or eight times, she was just putting on a show. Although she was angry about the other two or three times, it was only twenty or thirty percent. This time, her anger soared to twelve percent.
Although Li Hongyi was a good-for-nothing, he was still her son and the biggest chess piece in her desire to seize power. Without this son, all her schemes would be in vain. However, Li Hongyuan ruthlessly injured him. Li Hongyi also said that at that moment, he really felt that Li Hongyuan wanted to kill him. She didn't think that her son would lie to her about this kind of thing.
How could this be!
There was also Sun Yilin, who was her most promising nephew and also a good chess piece she had prepared. The higher his status at Le Chengdi's side, the more advantageous it would be for her future. Otherwise, why would she repeatedly create opportunities for Sun Yilin to show his face in front of the Emperor? Everything was going smoothly. Le Chengdi didn't like the people of Duke Dingguo's Mansion, except for Sun Yilin. In addition, Sun Yilin was even more famous. With his appearance, he was bound to win over more talents of the same generation. When things became clear in the future, even if he knew that she, the Empress Dowager behind the scenes, had the final say, he didn't need to blatantly express his support for her. He only needed to remain silent. Then, there would be a lot less memorials to depose her, and she would have a lot less trouble. One day, she would be able to naturally interfere in court affairs and no one would say anything.
But Li Hongyuan wanted to destroy him!
So, how could she not be angry! It was also because of this that this time, she was truly going against Noble Consort Su.
Compared to the Empress's people, Imperial Concubine Su and the others were unusually carefree, especially Li Hongming. He secretly regretted that Li Hongyuan didn't directly kill Li Hongyuan. In this way, he only needed to sacrifice him. Not only would he lose his biggest competitor, but he would also be the most legitimate successor in terms of etiquette. However, he also knew that Li Hongyuan was not stupid. How could he so easily stain his brother's life?
However, as his mother, even if Imperial Concubine Su felt that her opponent deserved it, she still had to teach him a lesson. Therefore, unlike the Empress who insisted on severely punishing Li Hongyuan, she scolded Li Hongyuan while pleading with Le Chengdi.
The two most noble women in the imperial harem also began to quarrel. The Empress said that Imperial Concubine Su had to take the main responsibility for Li Hongyuan's current situation. It was she who didn't teach the prince well and had let down the Emperor's grace. Imperial Concubine Su said that Li Hongyuan was just playing with Sun Yilin. It was Li Hongyi who started it first. If he didn't resist, would he just wait to be beaten to death? One had to know that her son was still injured. Li Hongyi was so vicious that if he wasn't his brother, he wouldn't be the eldest brother. Her Yuan 'er should be punished, and he couldn't escape the blame.
The back and forth was really lively. In contrast, Le Chengdi was strangely calm.
Le Chengdi received a bunch of memorials to impeach Li Hongyuan. This matter was different from the past. Li Hongyuan had lost the face of the imperial family. Not to mention Imperial Concubine Su and Li Hongming's opponents, even most of the neutral members of the imperial family demanded severe punishment. Otherwise, how could they restore the imperial prestige?
Le Chengdi's strange attitude this time was unknown. It was unknown whether it was because he was used to Li Hongyuan causing trouble from time to time, or because he had already expected this day to come when he first heard that his son was in love with Nan Feng. He even had the interest to look through the memorials that accused Li Hongyuan of "ten major crimes". As he read, he laughed happily. "Hehe, look at our son. He's different from others. He's been so energetic since he was young. If he didn't cause trouble one day, I would find it strange."
Seeing such an abnormal Le Chengdi, the attendants all pretended to be deaf and dumb. Anyway, there would be a few days like this every year.
"Mother, how will Father punish Sixth Brother this time?" Li Hongyi asked Imperial Concubine Su.
Imperial Concubine Su was startled and said with a bit of sadness, "There won't be any punishment. Yuan 'er's birth mother's death anniversary has arrived. If he hadn't been assassinated, he would still be praying in White Dragon Temple."
"The Imperial Noble Consort back then, what exactly …"
"Ming 'er, this isn't something you should ask. It won't do you any good to know."
"Mother, how will Father punish Sixth Brother?" Li Hongyi, who was recuperating in Kunyi Palace, pounded the bed and asked the Empress with hatred in his eyes.
The Empress looked at him coldly. "I just told you not to go against him. You just left the palace and you directly attacked him. You completely ignored my words. Now you're asking me, isn't it too unnecessary?"
The hatred in Li Hongyi's eyes immediately dissipated. As a man, he looked at the Empress at a loss. "Mother, it's not that I don't listen to you. It's just that Li Hongyuan, that bastard, is too infuriating. I was muddle-headed for a moment …"
The Empress sneered, "The result of being muddle-headed for a moment is that you lost all your advantages. Even if you were reasonable, you became unreasonable. You still want Li Hongyuan to be punished. You haven't woken up yet. "
"I'm injured like this. Are we just going to let it go like this?" Li Hongyi was so angry that his eyes were red.
"That's because you're not as skilled as others. You asked for it. Besides, Li Hongyuan is your Father's favorite. Who do you think you are? If he is severely punished, do you think you can escape? It's good enough that your Father can give you some compensation. Besides, the Imperial Noble Consort's death anniversary is approaching. These days, your Father is the most unreasonable. It's possible that he will punish you and reward Li Hongyuan. Think about it carefully. How many old officials actually impeached Li Hongyuan? Even if they did, it's just for show. " After the initial anger, the Empress immediately thought that this time she might only suffer a loss. However, she had already made a fuss. She couldn't stop just because she wanted to. Otherwise, how could she explain to her own people? It was hard to get off a tiger. She could only continue to make a fuss. The result was probably that Le Chengdi would be even more annoyed. Because of this, it was more and more depressing.
"Since the Imperial Noble Consort is so important, why didn't anyone mention her in the past few years? Why didn't my Father worship her on her death anniversary every year? "
"I said you're stupid. You're really stupid. Do I have to tell you clearly before you understand? That woman's death is strange. Is it strange that your Father doesn't worship her? How many people will remember a person who has been dead for more than 20 years? Because your Father is the Son of Heaven, his every move is watched, so that woman hasn't been completely forgotten. Those old officials who know about this clearly know that your Father hates it. Who will be stupid enough to spread it everywhere? They know that your Father is abnormal on these days every year, so naturally, they won't provoke him. This year, Li Hongyuan happened to cause trouble, so … "The Empress paused," Maybe Li Hongyuan also chose this time to deliberately provoke you. Maybe someone wants to take advantage of this special day to assassinate him in White Dragon Temple. But each of you lost people. Who will benefit the most? "
Because his own mother said that he was stupid, Li Hongyi almost refuted her and said that she also gave birth to him. But in the end, he couldn't say it. He was angry, but he couldn't say it. Now, seeing that she was still lost in thought and didn't take him seriously at all, Li Hongyi didn't know how to react. Maybe it was because he was stupid and easy to control that he could live well until now. If he was smarter and didn't obediently be a pawn in her hand, she could naturally ruthlessly abandon him. Maybe she could use him to plot against Noble Consort Su once and then adopt someone who would listen to her.
Li Hongyi thought that it was rare for him to be smart, but the result was so sad.
"Yilin's attitude is a bit strange this time."
Wasn't it very strange? From the beginning to the end, Sun Yilin was very quiet and calm. Except for telling the truth about the incident, he didn't say anything else. He didn't judge others' right or wrong. Even when he faced Le Chengdi with others, he was the same. He didn't get angry because of being humiliated, nor did he pretend to be calm.
Duke Ding let him take the position of the victim's family and let Le Chengdi make a decision for him. He was bound to get justice.
Sun Yilin just looked at him for a moment and then opened his mouth: "Actually, I'm not Father's son. Otherwise, why didn't you consider me even once?"
"Evil creature, what did you say?" Duke Ding didn't know if it was because he was disobeyed or because Sun Yilin had seen through his thoughts. He felt that he was ashamed of this son and used anger to cover himself.
"Isn't it? Father clearly thinks that I haven't lost enough face. Do I have to cry endlessly like a woman and beg for death to make you satisfied? Does my good Dage wish that I could really do as Jin Qinwang wishes and enter Jin Qinwang fu with Meimei and completely sweep away this obstacle of mine? "
"How can you think of your Dage like that? When you were young, he treated you so well, don't you know? "
"You're also talking about when I was young. If it wasn't because of the affection when I was young, would I have tolerated it until now? Father, what did he do in the end, and how much did you tacitly allow? I won't list them one by one, so as not to completely cut off the last bit of kinship. What you do, I don't care. But what I do, you'd better not care. "
Although the relationship between Duke Ding and Sun Yilin was thin, Sun Yilin still didn't contradict him. Suddenly, Duke Ding only felt that his dignity as a father was seriously provoked. "Evil creature, you're rebelling against the heavens." At the same time, he slapped him.
However, Sun Yilin really rebelled against the heavens. He grabbed Duke Ding's hand, "Even if I'm rebelling against the heavens, it's because you forced me."
"Evil creature, evil creature, you still dare to fight with Laozi. Do you believe that Laozi will expel you from the family?"
Sun Yilin sneered, "When I was in White Dragon Temple, I asked Mother to bring you a few words. Obviously, she didn't tell you. Father, you might as well go and ask. After asking clearly, you can decide how to deal with me. If you really want to expel me from the family, I will frown. Once I leave the gate of Duke Ding's Mansion, I will die without a burial place. But before that, I have to have a good contest with my good Dage. You might as well let me take a good look at Dage's ability after running the business for so many years and with your help." Shaking off Duke Ding's hand, he turned and strode away.
Duke Ding looked at Sun Yilin's back as he left. Just like Duchess Ding at White Dragon Temple, he was a little stunned. When did his son become so tough? However, his ruthlessness made him look like a real member of the Sun family. But why was his attitude toward the family instead of the outside world?
Duke Ding couldn't help but reflect on whether he had really done something wrong. He also knew that he was ashamed of his son and admitted that his son was better than the eldest son. It wasn't that he didn't hesitate, but he knew very well that there couldn't be two tigers on one mountain. Everything he did was for Duke Ding's Mansion. If his son was the eldest son, then there would be no problem. Unfortunately, there weren't so many "ifs" in the world.
Of course, he was angry to expel his son from the family. If he really did that, he didn't know how many people would laugh at him. People such as his mother and the Empress' sister would definitely kill him. Not only that, if he dared to do so, his son would be received with the courtesy of a distinguished guest when he went out. How stupid would he be to do such a thing that would harm himself and benefit others?
However, his wife had concealed such an important thing, so he had to ask her immediately. If he didn't know the thoughts of his son, who he thought he understood very well, but in fact, he didn't understand at all, he would only be more passive and lose his dignity as a father.
Not to mention how Duke Ding and his wife quarreled, Sun Yilin also let Li Hongyuan talk nonsense there. He insisted that there was something unusual between them. Anyway, when he had enough, this matter would be almost over.
In the past few days, Le Chengdi had always been kind to Li Hongyuan. In the end, he even said, "Yuan 'er, just tell me directly. What do you want? If you really want a male concubine, I'll help you. "
"Your Majesty …" More than one person hurriedly tried to dissuade him.
"Shut up. I'm not asking you." As gentle as the spring breeze, he became as cold as ice in the blink of an eye. Only a few people had seen Le Chengdi like this more than twenty years ago.
Even if it was an emperor with a relatively gentle temperament, as long as he was in power, as long as he was the real emperor, no one could stop him when he decided to do something. The so-called thunder and rain were all the grace of the emperor.
Li Hongyuan's face was expressionless. In his previous life, his father had not been so indulgent towards him. In fact, his father had been very cold towards him. Other than the fact that he was not a bastard, it was also because of his outstanding performance. That's right. Li Hongyuan knew very early that the more he was a bastard and the more trouble he caused, the better his father would treat him.
In his previous life, it was not strange that he could finally learn about his biological mother from Imperial Concubine Su, who was imprisoned by him. As his father, he wanted to compensate him, but he didn't have the courage to go to the extreme. After all, in his eyes, the country was more important, so he could only use this kind of doting and indulgence to make up for it.
In any case, his goal had already been achieved. "Erchen just saw that Eldest Imperial Brother looked like he wanted to eat Erchen alive, so Erchen was angry at him. Male concubine, there's no need for Erchen to set this precedent."
Le Chengdi nodded, indicating that he understood. — — No matter how much other people said, he would not listen or not believe. His son wanted to waste time, so he also wasted time like this. Now that Li Hongyuan said something, he completely believed it, so the matter was over!
He gently comforted his son and even said that it was Li Hongyi's fault as an elder brother. When he returned, he would let him apologize to him. Then, thinking that his injuries had not healed, he told him to quickly go back and recuperate.
The next day, a large number of rewards were bestowed, plus the rewards that were given to him because of Sun Yijia's matter. Good things flowed into Jin Qinwang fu like water. Did Le Chengdi empty his private storehouse of good things?
When the rewards arrived at Jin Qinwang fu, it was also not long after the drunk Sun Yilin was sent back to Ding Guo Gong fu. Sun Yilin was the victim's family, so Le Chengdi also rewarded him with a lot of things. He let the chamberlain leave a message, saying that it was his evil spawn son's fault. Sun Yilin would do as he should in the future, and Le Chengdi would not bear any grudges against him.
After all, Li Hongyi was also injured, so Le Chengdi also expressed his apology. However, Le Chengdi's appeasement to him was one matter. As an elder brother, he had acted against his younger brother, so it was necessary for him to apologize.
Li Hongyi, who had already been sent back to Kang Qinwang fu, was so angry that his internal organs almost exploded. Although it was not consistent with what Muhou said, it was not far from the truth. Even if he knew that there was such a possibility, when it came to it, he still hated, hated, hated! If he was not stopped, he would have smashed the things that Le Chengdi bestowed him.
Li Hongyuan threw out three articles, and not long after, he came out to receive his reward.
Seeing too many good things, Li Hongyuan didn't even lift his eyelids. He let people casually reward the chamberlain who delivered the things, and then moved the things back to the storehouse. As for how to organize it, there was no need for Li Hongyuan to instruct, Mu Gonggong would take care of it properly. In any case, it was enough to follow one principle: Things that the future wangfei might like, things that she would use, should be properly kept. As for the other things, no matter how precious, should be directly kept at the bottom of the chest and stuffed into the innermost part.
Although Li Hongyuan's temper was very bad, when it came to sending things to his fu, the chamberlains still fought over it. There was no other way, Li Hongyuan's hands were wide, and any random reward would not be less than a hundred taels. This was a good thing that would not happen anywhere else.
Once again, Le Chengdi's actions were known to the entire capital at the fastest speed.
Whether it was those who already knew that he had no bottom line towards Li Hongyuan, or those who had just entered the capital and hadn't heard of it, they were all speechless for a long time. Then, those who were in the know warned those who were not in the know that in the capital, no matter who they provoked, they shouldn't provoke the King of Hell, Jin Qinwang Li Hongyuan. If they met him, it was best to stay far away from him.
At the same time, some people's thoughts began to become active. This Jin Qinwang was so favored, maybe in the future he could … if he was under his tutelage … In the blink of an eye, this idea was ruthlessly dispelled. In the past, it wasn't that no one had done this, but the end was very miserable. Before entering the gate of Jin Qinwang fu, their legs were broken and they were thrown out. If there were still people who didn't give up, what was thrown out was a human skin.
If their lives were gone, what glory, splendor, wealth, and rank could they talk about.
However, Le Chengdi had said that this was only a misunderstanding. In the end, nothing happened. Sun Yilin, Gongzi Lin, still wanted to drown his sorrows in wine, borrowing drunkenness to become crazy. What was the reason?
Sun Yilin being carried back in a drunken state naturally alarmed everyone in the fu. Whether it was genuine concern or fake concern, one by one, they all gathered in Sun Yilin's courtyard. Unfortunately, no matter who asked, Sun Yilin kept his mouth shut. When he was annoyed, he directly told them to scram. People who didn't lose their temper were the scariest when they lost their temper!
When Sun Yijia arrived, Sun Yilin's door was surrounded by three layers of people. They thought that they were whispering very softly, but when there were so many people, they joined together, just like those annoying flies.
Sun Yijia looked on coldly. Suddenly, a servant girl bumped into her from the side and pulled off her veil, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.
"Ah — —" A scream instantly attracted everyone's attention. Then, they all saw the hideous wound on Sun Yijia's face. One by one, they subconsciously covered their mouths. Previously, they didn't see how badly she was injured, but they didn't expect it to be so serious. There were some who sympathized, but there were even more who gloated.
"Older Sister, I, I'm sorry. Younger Sister was suddenly frightened, so, no, no, actually, that …" A girl who was dressed very delicately was frightened. She was trembling, but she pretended to be calm and stammered as she explained. She looked very pitiful. The servant girl who bumped into Sun Yijia also knelt on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
"Ah, Older Sister Jia's face …"
"Slap — —"
A crisp sound rang out, and everyone fell silent. They looked in disbelief at Sun Yilin, who had just finished hitting Sun Yilin and calmly put back his veil. "Noisy." She gently glanced at the servant girl on the ground and said, "Take this impetuous servant girl away and flog her 50 times."
After 50 flogs, those who were in good condition could still be alive, but most of them would directly die.
The servant girl was scared and really kowtowed to beg for mercy. After a few thuds, blood appeared on her forehead. However, Sun Yilin was completely unmoved. Two strong old maids behind her directly came forward, gagged the servant girl, and dragged her away.
The girl who had been beaten covered her face, and her eyes were full of hatred. However, probably because she was used to enduring, she didn't lose her temper. But her tears rolled down like a broken string of beads. "Older Sister, I, I just …" She was very aggrieved.
"If you dare to say one more word, I will make you become like me." Sun Yilin touched her face meaningfully.
In the eyes of everyone, Sun Yijia, who was disfigured, was like a mad dog. Who knew if she really did what she said?
Others didn't dare to say anything, but the girl's mother was very distressed. Her face was beaten so hard that it was obviously swollen. In three days, it would be Great Elder Princess's birthday. What should she do if the swelling still didn't go down? "Sister Jia, as the saying goes, when it is possible to forgive, forgive. Besides, your sister is just timid. She is not …"
Sun Yijia glanced at her coldly and said, "I am teaching a servant girl and a sister of a concubine a lesson. As a concubine, how dare you interrupt? Who gave you the courage? This is my Fifth Brother's courtyard. As a concubine, what are you doing here? This is the outer courtyard, and my Fifth Brother is not a child of three or five years old. Do you still have any manners? What's the matter? Could it be that you despise my father for being old, so you're recommending yourself to my fifth brother? "
Sun Yilin's words were undeniably vicious, and she overturned a group of people with one stroke. The onlookers' faces turned pale, and it was very interesting.
"Sister Jia, how can you say that? Where is your upbringing?"
Sun Yijia glanced at the aunt who spoke, and said, "Upbringing? Then tell me, what did I say or do wrong? "She had nothing to say.
This was indeed not a place where they should have come. At most, it would be good enough if the brothers and sisters came to take a look. Even if the aunts wanted to come, they had to choose the right time. It was broad daylight now, and Sun Yilin's close friends might come to visit. It was not good to bump into them, not to mention those concubines who usually could not go out without the guidance of the head wife.
"My mother has only relaxed for a few days, and each of you has become wild. You dare to ignore the rules and run to the outer courtyard. You even arrogantly preach to me. Based on your current actions, I can lock you all up in the family temple."
Although Sun Yijia said a few concubines, she was also hinting at them.
"My son is right. I have been so busy recently that I forgot. Each of you has begun to jump around. Immediately scram back. Your salary will be deducted for three months, and you will be grounded for three months. You will also have to copy the female admonition a thousand times. " Duchess Ding had not had time to change out of the heavy makeup she had put on because of receiving the imperial edict. She looked graceful and noble. With a cold face, she looked dignified without being angry.
This attire was a thorn in the eyes of almost every married woman present. It was a symbol of status.
"Madam, you can't …" A concubine who looked not much older than Sun Yijia said angrily.
"Do you really want to live in the family temple?" Duchess Ding said coldly, "Oh, by the way, you can also go to the Duke to plead for mercy. Let's see if the Duke will come to me to put in a good word for you." There was a hint of mockery and disdain in her voice.
As long as there was no real problem with the inner courtyard's affairs or there was a reason for it, this man would generally not intervene. If they met a head wife who was willing to pretend to be virtuous and magnanimous, the concubines and concubines should thank the heavens. When she shed all pretense of cordiality and did not intend to play with them anymore, if they dared to bump into her, it was no different from courting death.
"Why are you still here? Are you waiting for me, your sister-in-law, to invite you one by one?"
They had thought that her daughter and son had been in trouble one after another, and they heard that she quarreled with Duke Ding almost every day. Moreover, the inner courtyard of Duke Ding's Mansion was really loose. They all thought that she had really lost power this time, and it was time for those young and beautiful concubines and their daughters to make a comeback. It turned out that she was not. A tiger was a tiger after all. Don't think that you can be a tyrant when it takes a nap. When it gets angry again, it can crush you to death with one paw.
It seemed that not only Sun Yijia but also the head wife of Duke Ding's Mansion went crazy.
They immediately scattered like birds and beasts. Even if these girls were deprived of the opportunity to go to Great Elder Princess's Mansion, they did not dare to say more.
Duchess Ding's face softened. "Yijia, I'm sorry to make you suffer."
Sun Yijia twitched the corners of her mouth, but when she thought that her mother could not see it, she no longer forced herself. After all, there was a gap between mother and daughter. Even if they seemed to be closer than before on the surface, in fact, it was not the case. "Mother, I'm not wronged."
Then they looked at each other speechlessly and walked into the room at the same time, trying to dispel the invisible embarrassment.
