Chapter 1,029: To Plead Guilty or to Acquiesce?

After discussing with the eldest princess Ruian at the eldest princess's palace, Shao Wanru and the eldest princess Ruian entered the palace.

In the Cining Palace of the Empress Dowager, Princess Yuanan fell to the ground crying. Kneeling next to her was the eldest princess Ruiping, who was also crying with Princess Yuanan and could not get up.

Sitting in the middle position is the Queen Mother, and next to the Queen Mother is the Queen Mother.

The Queen's face was as gloomy as water, and she was a little displeased when her eyes fell on Princess Yuan'an. The girl who had such a happy life was now like this, and her son was at a disadvantage.

If it weren't for her status as Princess Yuan'an, the Empress would have wanted to break off the engagement.

"Please ask the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother to make the decision for Yuan'an. They...their Xingguo Hou Mansion is really bullying people!" Princess Ruiping said angrily, wiping tears again.

"Get up and talk!" the Queen Mother waved her hand, and two maids came over to help Princess Yuan'an and Chief Ruiping up.

The two of them stopped being pretentious and sat down together.

"What did the imperial doctor say?" the queen asked, her eyes falling on Princess Yuan'an.

Princess Yuan'an's face was covered, only a pair of eyes were exposed. She saw some scratches on her forehead, but they were not deep. She didn't know if there were scratches on other parts of her face, whether they were deep or not, and whether they could be intact. This was a matter of concern. This is a matter of vital importance to her son, how could the Queen not ask clearly.

"I'd like to express my gratitude to you, the Empress. Although there is treatment available, the face is almost disfigured. Yuan'an will marry His Highness the King of Zhou soon. There may still be some scars left by then." Princess Ruiping He cried, tears falling down again, what he said was very level.

I didn't say it was bad, I just said that there may be some scars left when you get married. A woman only gets married once. There are still some scars on her face when she gets married, which is a fatal injury to a woman.

The tears in Princess Yuan'an's eyes fell involuntarily again, and she called out in a low voice: "Grandma!"

But he couldn't say a word anymore.

The empress became angry, patted the chair rail hard and said angrily: "Is there any way for you to be so powerful? He actually ran rampant on the street. Mother, this matter must be investigated and dealt with! You must not cheat, Lianyuan An would encounter this kind of thing every time he goes to the street, but what if it’s the daughter of another family?”

Not only does Princess Yuanan have a title, but she is also the future Princess Zhou. Stepping on Princess Yuanan's face is equivalent to stepping on the face of King Zhou and the Queen.

The son marries a daughter-in-law, who may be the future crown princess or future queen. Such a commotion when they get married will make people think about how to deal with it in the future, and may even leave a strong mark in history, saying that they themselves The son married a faceless girl.

Just thinking of this made the Queen extremely angry. The Xingguo Hou Mansion was indeed not a good one. It was in vain that she wanted Shao Yanru to enter her son's house before.

Fortunately, he didn't enter the palace at first. If he did, he wouldn't have caused trouble in his son's palace.

"What do you think we should do about this?" the Queen Mother frowned and asked slowly.

"Mother, the Xingguo Marquis Mansion must be responsible for Yuan'an's incident. They must be punished for their lax discipline. The title of Xingguo Marquis can be lowered again to avoid many things happening. I heard that the previous dynasty was still there because of The issue of the eldest son of the Marquis of Xingguo Mansion has disturbed the Emperor, so it would be better to cut off the title directly, so as to avoid the quarrels in their house becoming more aggravating."

The queen said coldly.

She had nowhere to vent her anger, so she came directly to the title of Xingguo Marquis Mansion.

Princess Yuanan is her future daughter-in-law, and bumping into Princess Yuanan is equivalent to bumping into her. She wants to show the officials the status of Princess Yuanan.

Does Xingguo Hou Shao Jing really think that they are still the prosperous Xingguo Duke’s Mansion?

The Queen's mind was spinning very fast. Since Marquis Xingguo had brought the matter to her, how could she not use it to step on Marquis Xingguo's mansion to rectify Princess Yuan'an's name and let people see Princess Yuan'an's identity? The importance is so important that he can add a bargaining chip to his son in the fight for position in the future.

Although Yuan An's status is noble, the most noble thing at the moment is not her status as princess, but her status as the future Princess Zhou. Just for this point, the person who offended Princess Yuan An was severely punished. It represents the high opinion the Queen Mother and the Emperor have of King Zhou.

Just a little bit of optimism can even become the key to establishing a reserve in the future.

Everyone in the court was secretly trying to figure out the Holy Heart, secretly guessing who the emperor favored in the end. If the emperor showed a little bit of his feelings, he would surely make the courtiers secretly tilt towards him.

This is also an important reason why the Queen is determined to punish the crimes of the Xingguo Hou Mansion. Not only must they be punished, but they must be severely punished.

She wanted to show the whole court how much the emperor and the empress dowager valued Zhou'er, and let them guess that Zhou'er was the future prince. Not only was his status unshakable, but his status as the future princess was also unshakable.

If you can't deal with a dying sick man, how can you not deal with a declining Xingguo Houfu?

The Crown Prince of Xingguo is Shao Wanru's younger brother. Don't fight now. It's just gone. King Chen embarrassed the eldest princess Ruiping's house at the palace gate before, and the Prince Zhou's house also lost face. It happened to be This matter was punished at the same time, and all the face was restored.

"The Queen Mother, Princess Ruian and Princess Chen would like to see you!" A eunuch hurriedly came in to report.

Princess Yuanan's eyes silently looked at the eldest princess Ruiping, who nodded gently.

"Let them come in!" the Queen Mother ordered.

The eunuch stepped back and soon led Princess Ruian and Shao Wanru in.

The two of them bowed to the Queen Mother and Queen Mother and then sat down.

"Princess Chen, are you here today because of matters related to Yuan'an and Xingguo Hou's Mansion?" The Empress did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point. Her eyes fell coldly on Shao Wanru, waiting for Shao Wanru to plead. She was so angry that she couldn't deal with Chu Liuchen. She didn't believe that she couldn't deal with Princess Chen.

"Report to the Queen, you are indeed here for this matter!" Shao Wanru said softly. Before coming, he had already discussed with Princess Ruian how to deal with it, so he was not surprised by the Queen's words.

"Since we are here for this matter, there is no need to say anything more. Look at Yuan An's appearance. I heard that there may be scars on the wedding day, and even in the future. The Xingguo Hou Mansion committed this Is it possible that you still want to shirk your responsibilities when things happen?" The Empress said sternly, pointing at Princess Yuan'an.

Princess Yuan'an, who was tightly wrapped, immediately shed tears again, turned her head and called out in a low voice: "Grandma!"

He threw himself into the arms of Princess Ruiping.

Princess Ruiping held Princess Yuan'an in her arms and looked at Shao Wanru with evil eyes. Although she did not speak, the meaning in her eyes made it clear that this matter could not be solved.

The Queen Mother didn't look too good. Although she promised her grandson to protect Shao Wanru, she did not promise to protect the Xingguo Hou Mansion. Even though the grandson of King Zhou was not as good as Chu Liuchen, he must be her grandson after all, and he was still How could a direct grandson let an outsider step on his face?

Shao Wanru used to be someone who knew how to advance and retreat, and because Chu Liuchen looked at her so highly, she now seemed to be someone who didn't know what the world was up to. She wanted to resist the affairs of the Xingguo Hou Mansion and grow up with Ruian. The princess comes to plead with herself?

If I still stand on her side this time, let the Queen and King Zhou deal with themselves.

"Princess Chen, what do you say?" the Queen Mother said, her brows furrowed tightly, her eyes dark and cold. If Shao Wanru really came to intercede for the Xingguo Hou Mansion, or if she took this matter to say that Princess Yuan'an was also responsible. , the Queen Mother was too disappointed in her, and she looked down upon this grandson-in-law.

"Royal Grandmother, I am here today to plead guilty to Princess Yuan'an on behalf of my eldest brother!" Shao Wanru stood up and saluted the Queen Mother again.

"Excuse me?" Princess Yuan'an looked up in confusion, unable to cry for a while.

Bu Bu didn't know what happened, but she knew very well that Shao Hua'an's horse bumped into her, startling her horse, and after the carriage overturned, she got up and had Shao Hua'an's legs broken, and then I cried and complained to my grandmother.

Then Shao Hua'an's horse was pulled to his house, but what was later found out actually had nothing to do with Shao Hua'an's horse, but the horse that pulled the carriage.

The horse suddenly frightened and kicked Shao Huaan's horse, which happened to come over. Then Shao Huaan's horse bumped into his carriage again. It could be said that there were waves of waves.

But of course Princess Yuan'an would not talk about this verification result to outsiders, not even the Queen Mother and the Empress would mention it here.

He insisted that Shao Huaan's horse was frightened, and Shao Huaan's leg was hit by himself. As for the rest, no matter who said it, Princess Yuanan just cried.

But now, what does Shao Wanru mean? How could Shao Huaan really plead guilty?

Princess Yuan'an had the feeling of a heavy punch hitting cotton. She had already decided how to deal with it. Why did Shao Wanru pick it up high and drop it gently?

Shouldn't it be tit-for-tat and arguing with each other to create a winning situation for the Xingguo Hou Mansion? The Xingguo Hou Mansion didn't just invite Shao Wanru over, the purpose of course was to get Shao Wanru to come forward.

"Yes, I am asking for forgiveness. I hope Princess Yuan'an will forgive this accident!" Shao Wanru bowed deeply to Princess Yuan'an with a guilty look on his face, "No one expected that things would happen so suddenly. My eldest brother's horse was startled. He has harmed Princess Yuan'an and harmed himself. Now my eldest brother is still lying in bed and his condition is unknown. When he gets better, I will ask him to come to Princess Yuan'an in person to apologize!"

The look of guilt turned into sincerity again, Shao Wanru bowed heavily to Princess Yuan'an again, then raised his head with a serious look on his face, "No matter how Princess Yuan'an asks Xingguo Hou Mansion to accomplice her, my grandmother will obey Princess Yuan'an's wishes." According to the arrangement, Xingguo Houfu is a minister and cannot be disloyal!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of Princess Ruiping and Princess Yuanan changed drastically!
