Chapter 1182: Prince Li's Extra: Confinement to Qingliang Palace

Although he doted on Concubine Dong, he did not want to be accused of being a coward. He raised his hand and tugged on his clothes, and the legs of his robe slipped out of Concubine Dong's hands. She looked at Murong Zheng nervously and saw him speaking calmly.

"Concubine Dong Gui is arrogant and spoils the peace between Zhou and Bei'an. I will not forgive her lightly. From today on, she will move into the Qingliang Palace without any edicts."

After Murong Zheng finished speaking, he looked at Qu Jingze. He wanted to know whether Qu Jingze was satisfied with the result.

Murong Zheng felt that this was his bottom line.

What he saw was Qu Jingze's mocking smile, which made him feel guilty and even more flustered.

"Envoy Bei'an thinks my handling of this situation is reasonable, right?"

Murong Zheng seemed not to notice the smile at the corner of Qu Jingze's mouth, and asked softly, but the meaning in his words was obvious, and he wanted him to stop.

"The foreign ministers don't understand the laws of the Zhou Dynasty. It turns out that arson and wounding only require a grounding."

Qu Jingze seemed not to understand what Murong Zheng meant. His words were very soft, but they touched the hearts of everyone in the court.

After Murong Zheng finished speaking, the courtiers breathed a sigh of relief, because the emperor punished Concubine Dong Gui in an unprecedented way.

But now, Qu Jingze's words made them understand that the emperor was covering up and setting fire to hurt others, but the punishment of grounding was insignificant.

"What do you want?" Murong Zheng felt that his patience was exhausted by Qu Jingze. If Qu Jingze was a minister of Zhou Dynasty, he would definitely deal with him, but...

"The foreign minister has already said that this noble concubine's honor, fine clothes and food are not suitable for an arsonist."

Qu Jingze finally couldn't hold back and made his request clear.

Because he knew that if he didn't explain clearly, Murong Zheng would pretend to be confused and bargain with him.

Murong Zheng was stunned. He didn't expect that Qu Jingze could directly tell Bei'an's request. Of course, his clear words also confused all his plans in his heart.

"Your Majesty, he is the most punishable person for destroying the peace between the two countries."

"Your Majesty, it is impossible to punish Concubine Dong by being thrown into the cold palace. Please kill Concubine Dong as a warning to others."

"..."

Although the courtiers were extremely indulgent towards the emperor, most of them were ministers trained by the empress dowager and the late emperor. They knew very well what they should do, so they entreated him one after another.

Compared with the claustrophobic cold palace of death and dethronement, the cold palace is obviously a better choice.

"Then depose the noble concubine and go to Qingliang Palace to stay." Murong Zheng glanced at Concubine Dong who was kneeling on the ground with tears in her eyes, and finally said through gritted teeth.

"Your Majesty, I don't want this concubine. I don't want to go to Qingliang Palace. You promised me that I would stay with you for the rest of my life. You..."

After listening to Murong Zheng's words, Concubine Dong's body became weak. She forced herself to kneel on the ground, hugged Murong Zheng's legs, and cried sadly, her eyes full of despair and reluctance.

"I..." Murong Zheng couldn't see Concubine Dong's heartbroken look the most. He was about to comfort him, but unexpectedly Qu Jingze shouted loudly again: "Foreign minister, I hope that the emperor will keep his word. Don't wait for foreign minister." After leaving Da Zhou, the imperial concubine left Qingliang Palace. If that is the case, I would not mind letting our Emperor Bei'an know what your beloved concubine has done."

Qu Jingze's meaning was also very obvious. If Concubine Dong Gui entered the cold palace, she would never come out again in this life, unless Murong Zheng wanted to start a war with Bei'an.

Murong Zheng wanted to touch Concubine Dong Gui's hand, but it fell down.

"Your Majesty, I don't think so. You just don't think about me and our children. He..."

Concubine Dong Gui looked at Murong Zheng blankly. She didn't know how to get a chance of survival. What she knew most now was that if she was really imprisoned in Qingliang Hall, her child would be closer and closer to the supreme position. The further away.
