Chapter 4008 The Black-Hearted Prince’s Little Darling 98
The daughters of both families found it difficult to accept it, and cried at home all day long.
After being questioned repeatedly, they found out about their affair with the third prince.
As for whether it is true that we just found out, or we have known it for a long time, but now it is just a waste of time.
Anyway, the emperor granted marriage, and that was a golden promise, and they couldn't change it even if they wanted to.
So logically speaking, they should keep this matter to themselves and at most ask for the position of concubine in the future.
With their official positions and their status as legitimate daughters in the family, it is not difficult to do so.
But the tragedy was that the two girls' families were so angry that they had been deceived by the third prince, and they insisted on asking for an explanation.
In the end, the two families failed to stop them and allowed them to sneak out.
Not only did they not wait for anyone to come back after a day, the third prince actually insisted that he had not met the daughter of their family.
Finally, after a few days, they found their daughter's body at the foot of a mountain on the outskirts of Beijing.
Moreover, the corpses were thrown into a pile. Only then did the two families realize that they were not deceived. They were even more sure that it was the third prince who had done it, so they joined forces to tear Qi Weiyi out in the court.
The third prince himself refused to admit death. Although the emperor had doubts, for the sake of his beloved son, he did not even dare to appoint the most upright envoy of the Ministry of Punishment. Instead, he sent the deputy envoy of the Ministry of Punishment to investigate the matter.
This deputy envoy always likes to turn big things into trivial matters, and he is relatively tactful. After being beaten, he should be able to understand that the emperor is deliberately covering up.
But this time, he seemed to be a different person. It only took him three days to tell the story of how Qi Weiyi deceived the daughters of the two families, as well as the letters exchanged, the place of the secret meeting, and the specific time. Asked.
What's even more exaggerated is that he didn't think the matter was big enough, and it wasn't the first time he had done this to expose the third prince.
From the time he got to know men and women until now, in the eight years since then, he has coaxed at least a dozen girls with his lies.
From noble ladies, to the daughters of important officials in the court, the daughters of two emperors and merchants were also among them.
Those who tolerated it privately let it go and just wrote a note to let the emperor know what was going on.
But because they were unwilling to be deceived, they wanted to have a fight with the third prince in order to achieve what they wanted. In the end, as many as six girls were dealt with.
Among them were two daughters of noble families who were difficult to deal with and were buried directly in the third prince's maternal home.
At this time, the Minister of Household Affairs, who originally wanted to speak for his future son-in-law, knelt directly in the court hall and begged the emperor to withdraw the decree of marriage.
The third prince was also unable to tell the difference. Not only was he sentenced to life-long confinement, but his mother, concubine, and grandfather's family were also severely punished.
One was directly demoted from a concubine to a concubine, while the other was directly sent out of the capital and went to a small and miserable town to become a small prefect and prefect.
Of course, this third prince is not stupid. He only came to trouble him on the front foot, and such a big thing happened on the back foot. He knew that it was Qi Junxiu and the Prime Minister who jointly dealt with him.
So the matter about Qi Junxiu and Luo Liyan was brought out, but even if the emperor was dissatisfied, he couldn't openly go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Seventh Prince.
After all, his dislike of the Seventh Prince and General Dingyuan was only something that everyone knew well and could not really be brought up to the court.
The Prime Minister of Tang and the Minister of Tang were even more aggressive and directly let the emperor make the decision, saying that the third prince had chased them to their house and threatened them to marry their girl to him.
