Chapter 398 Granted Marriage
"The matter should be investigated, but the top priority is to let the imperial doctor diagnose and treat it properly and let Miss Fang take good care of her body." Nan Xi said, paused for a moment, "No matter who is to blame for the cause of the incident, the cruel behavior of the Crown Prince of Wei is really shocking. Unable to understand."
When King Wei heard this, his expression suddenly changed: "Your Majesty, this is just an accident -"
"It was not an accident." Nan Xi looked at him calmly, "Even if it is not Miss Fang today, it will be another woman. The victims are different, which does not mean that Xuanyuan Yan's actions are right."
King Wei was speechless.
"Besides, I have heard about Xuanyuan Yan's abuse of his concubine before." Nan Xi sipped her tea and said in a calm voice, "As a former prince and a descendant of the noble royal family, I should have received a good education since childhood. He loves his people like a son and has such a violent temper, which is really contrary to the royal family and is no different from the devil. If he is not punished, it will not be enough for the common people. "
King Wei's face turned pale: "Your Majesty!"
"Until the truth of the matter comes to light, Xuanyuan Yan will be imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment." Nan Xi made the decision calmly, "Draft a decree to strip Xuanyuan Yan of the title of Crown Prince, and the title of the Prince of Wei will no longer have hereditary rights-"
"Your Majesty!" King Wei's expression changed, "You are seeking revenge for your personal vengeance! I will not surrender!"
"Revenge of personal enmity?" Nan Xi frowned, "I wonder what personal enmity I have with Xuanyuan Yan?"
King Wei was sullen and silent, with an angry expression.
"Your Majesty's decree will not tolerate your disobedience." Rong Yu's eyes were cold, like the biting snow of the twelfth lunar month, "It is true that Xuanyuanyan was a prince, but his character and big-heartedness are not worthy of His Majesty's fear. Could it be that it proves His Majesty's big-heartedness?" Kuang Guang, do you have to imprison a tyrannical person like Xuanyuan Yan?”
King Wei's face turned blue and white, and he clenched his hands fiercely.
"Thank you, Chief Assistant." Nan Xi turned her eyes slightly and looked at the silent Master Chief Assistant, "What do you think of this matter?"
"The cause and effect of the matter should indeed be investigated, but no matter what the truth is, it is a fact that the Wei Palace brought the woman back to the palace. Although Miss Fang was mistaken for a brothel girl, the brutal behavior is also a fact." Xie Shoufu said, "I agree with your Majesty I don’t have any other comments on how to deal with it.”
King Wei gritted his teeth and turned to glare at him.
Nan Xi said calmly: "What do you think, Prime Minister?"
"I agree with the views of the Chief Minister." Prime Minister Lu bowed and said, "The prince is guilty of breaking the law and the common people are guilty. What's more, the matter of Crown Prince Yan has become a big deal. Too many people know about it. The nature is bad and the impact is not good. If it is revealed lightly, However, it will only encourage the evil deeds of the powerful children, allowing them to act recklessly based on their status and not know how to restrain their words and deeds. "
After a pause, "In addition, Miss Fang has lost her reputation and cannot marry anyone else. Your Majesty can grant them a marriage, which can also offset Prince Yan's guilt of forcibly insulting other girls - of course, this requires It will only work if both the King of Wei and the Duke of Zhen agree. I am just making a suggestion."
As soon as these words came out, the King of Wei and the Duke of Zhen became angry and almost said at the same time: "Fart!"
However, when Nan Xi turned to look at them, she asked lightly: "What do you think, Lord Zhen Guo?"
But the Duke of Zhen Guo looked gloomy and could not say a word.
No matter what the truth is, it is a fact that Fang Lan has lost her reputation, and the commotion is so big that it is impossible to hide it. Everyone in the imperial family knows about it. Besides Xuanyuanyan, who else can she marry in the future? ?
But what King Wei was thinking about at this time was that Fang Lanyi was tortured to the point of dying last night and she was lucky to be saved. How could she become Yan'er's first wife? What if she was injured last night and couldn't have children in the future?
And why did she appear in Qingfeng Pavilion last night?
What qualifications does a girl who doesn't pay attention to honor have to marry into Prince Wei's palace?
It's just that these words must not be spoken at this time.
Because the Prince of Wei and the Duke of Zhen Guo have always had a good relationship and depended on each other. It is precisely because of this that after the incident broke out, the Duke of Zhen Guo has been restraining his anger and not breaking out. Otherwise, he would have kneeled down and begged Her Majesty the Queen to get his daughter back. Fair enough.
So the current situation is that the Duke of Zhen does not want to marry Fang Lanyi to the violent Xuanyuan Yan, but he has no other choice.
The King of Wei did not want his son to marry Fang Lanyi, but he had no reason to refuse.
"In terms of family background, the legitimate daughter of the Duke of Zhen is worthy of the son of the Prince of Wei." Prince Jing said calmly, "Besides, since the reputation of this girl has been ruined, she should naturally take responsibility, so it is reasonable to do so. , Miss Fang can only marry Yan'er, otherwise she won't be able to stop everyone."
She tried so hard to marry into Prince Jing's palace, even resorting to murder to smear Chu Hongyi. Fang Lanyi was a cruel and selfish girl with an unscrupulous nature that Prince Jing's palace couldn't afford. No matter who did this, the ending was very satisfying. Prince Jing felt that Fang Lanyi and Xuanyuan Yan were a perfect match, and it would be a pity not to be husband and wife.
King Huai nodded: "It seems that this is all we can do now. We can't force Miss Fang to commit suicide, can we?"
King Wei was reluctant, but could not say a word of objection at this time.
Of course the Duke of Zhen Guo had nothing to say.
In a social system where men are superior to women, the rules are as follows. A woman who has been deprived of her innocence must either commit herself to this man, commit suicide and become a monk by her full name, or become a monk... there is no other choice.
"In that case, it's decided." Rong Yu said indifferently, "King Wei, the Duke of Zhenguo listens to the decree."
King Wei's face was covered with ice, but he had to kneel down to listen to the order.
The Duke of Zhen Guo also knelt down and said in a stiff tone: "I obey the decree."
"Grant marriage to Xuanyuan Yan, son of the Prince of Wei, and Fang, daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo, and choose a date for the wedding." Rong Yu said in a cold tone, "Ask the Minister of Justice Zeng to thoroughly investigate the case. I'll give you half a month to find out the truth."
Half a month?
Minister Zeng's heart skipped a beat, and he knelt down tremblingly: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty obeys your order."
Let him find out the truth?
How can he find out?
One is the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, the other is the Prince of Wei's Mansion, and there is also an innocent girl involved. I'm afraid I can't even ask about the case. How can I find out?
"Xie Jin!"
Xie Jin heard the summons outside the imperial study and subconsciously turned his head to look at Xuanyuan Yao.
Xuanyuan Yao frowned and whispered, "The master is calling you, why are you looking at me?"
"Isn't it because I'm afraid you'll be lonely?" Xie Jin smiled and stood up slowly, "When I go in, you'll have no one to accompany you. Will you feel sad and lonely kneeling here alone?"
"Lonely, you." Xuanyuan Yao's face froze, and he said hatefully, "Maybe he's calling you in to be punished, don't be too happy too soon."
Xie Jin sighed, "Do you want me to plead for you?"
Xuanyuan Yao sneered, "If you are unfortunately punished, I can also plead for you."
