"Grandpa Huang, my imperial sister has made great contributions to the imperial court! She finally came back from the Northern Desert after going through many hardships. You can't treat her like this. It's too unkind."
< br />In front of the Chonghua Palace, the fourth prince shouted loudly, which made the eunuchs around him turn pale, and they all tried to persuade them: "Oh, your fourth prince, my little ancestor, please stop shouting..."

The fourth prince didn't care about them. Perhaps he was afraid that the Supreme Emperor in the palace wouldn't hear him, so he shouted louder and louder.

He went to Weiyang Palace earlier, originally planning to accuse his imperial sister of being cunning. But they also knew that their imperial sister and Jia Lian wanted to get married to their son, but were opposed by the Supreme Emperor.

At first, he didn’t think anything of it. He was not optimistic about the marriage between his imperial sister and Jia Lian.

It was just in Weiyang Palace that I saw the dejected look of my imperial sister, and I couldn't bear it, so I ran to Chonghua Palace, wanting to help my imperial sister and persuade the emperor to take back his life.

The idea is good, but the courage is small.

Having just put forward his idea in front of the Emperor, he was given a sideways glance by the Emperor, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak. He was dismissed by the Emperor in a few words.

But when he walked out of the Chonghua Palace and could not see the Supreme Emperor, he became more courageous again.

Thinking that I couldn’t be so unreliable, I immediately turned around and knelt at the door of the hall, expressing my thoughts to the Supreme Emperor from a distance.

His efforts were finally in vain.

The main hall slowly opened a hole, and an old eunuch came out.

The fourth prince recognized the old eunuch and quickly silenced himself, showing a well-behaved look.

The old eunuch laughed and said: "The Emperor said that the fourth prince is playful and neglects his true duties. He ordered you to come to Chonghua Palace every hour and study for four hours..."

When the fourth prince heard what the old eunuch said, he was immediately startled.

God, whenever he sees the Supreme Emperor, he becomes extremely frightened. If he goes to Chonghua Palace to study every day, it would be better to kill him directly!

And after kneeling for such a long time, he also knew that the Supreme Emperor would not listen to him anymore, so he would not be able to help the elder sister but would involve himself instead.

So before the old eunuch could finish what he said, he quickly interrupted: "No, Mr. Feng, please stop talking, I understand."

While speaking, the fourth prince He stood up with his hands on the ground and said loudly to the hall: "Grandpa Huang, it doesn't matter where I study. You love peace and quiet, and your grandson doesn't dare to disturb you every day. I'd better study at home." .

That,Grandpa Huang, I'm fine. I went home to study. I'll see you another day. "

After saying that, he casually cupped his hands to the old eunuch, turned around and ran away quickly.

He ran out of the gate of Chonghua Palace in one breath, and the fourth prince who survived the disaster took pictures He patted his heart.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw Jia Lian and his elder sister coming hand in hand not far away. His face suddenly darkened and he walked toward the two of them fiercely.< br />
“Jia Lian, it’s all your fault. At this time, you still dare to bring my imperial sister here, do you know..."

The fourth prince wanted to vent his anger on Jia Lian, but he met the look in his elder sister's eyes, The rest of the words could not be said.

He sighed softly and got out of the way.

But Jia Lian stopped and asked in surprise: "Your Highness, Fourth Highness Why here? "

" "Why am I here?" Of course I am here to help my elder sister and my unborn nephew plead with Grandpa Huang!

You two also came to see Grandpa Huang for mercy, right? I advise you not to waste your efforts. No one can disobey what the Emperor has decided!

Hmph, it’s not your fault. If you had honestly agreed to marry my imperial sister, then... hmph. ”

Now, the fourth prince doesn’t like Jia Lian when he looks at him horizontally, and he doesn’t like Jia Lian when he looks at him vertically.

Princess Zhaoyang originally disliked the fourth prince’s slanted eyebrows and squinting eyes. Hearing that he was here to plead for her, her heart suddenly softened.

She knew the fourth prince's temperament and was most afraid of meeting his elders. Today, he was able to come to Chonghua Palace alone for her sake. , even if it was fruitless to see his appearance, she was very moved.

So she withdrew her stern eyes from him and looked at Jia Lian: "Otherwise, let's go back. He was right, in all these years, no one had ever been able to disobey the Emperor's will.

His old man is originally against us. If we go to plead for mercy again, we are afraid of offending him. ”

In fact, what Princess Zhaoyang is most worried about is that Jia Lian will offend the Emperor.

No matter how they say it, she and the fourth prince are also the grandchildren of the Emperor, and they are descendants of blood. Even if the Emperor is temporarily Even if you are angry, you will not do anything to them.

But Jia Lian is different. If you really hate the emperor, your future will not be guaranteed, but your family and life will be at stake.

Jia Lian Seeing Princess Zhaoyang's worry, he held her hand and said: "What you plan is for people and God. If I give up on you and the child in your belly without doing anything today, I will regret it for the rest of my life.

Furthermore, if I don’t even have the courage to fight for it today, I would also be sorry for Qing Ran’s sincerity towards me. "

When Princess Zhaoyang heard this, her eyes immediately became moist, and she looked at Jia Lian affectionately.

This scene made the fourth prince who saw it jump in his heart.

It’s over, it’s over, my imperial sister is over, she was completely captured by Jia Lian, that bastard!

The fourth prince wanted to jump up and give Jia Lian a kick. But he also knew that everyone If he dared to make any move, he would definitely be kicked away by the obsessed imperial sister first, so he did not act rashly.

Jia Lian didn’t know that there were so many dramas in the fourth prince’s heart. What he was feeling in his heart at this moment was indeed A little heavy.

Although he was able to deal with Emperor Ning Kang with ease, that was because he had enough contact with Emperor Ning Kang and had already figured out his habits.

But It can be said that he is very unfamiliar with the Emperor.

The real meeting was at the Emperor’s birthday banquet last year. Other impressions of the Emperor came from side information collection.

The most important thing is that the matter between him and Princess Zhaoyang can be said to be inconsistent with etiquette even among the people, let alone the heavenly family!

Emperor Ning Kang and others saw this Emotionally speaking, if you turn a blind eye, the past will be over.

But if the Supreme Emperor uses etiquette and the face of the Tian family to object, it is really justifiable. Let alone objection, even if it means severe punishment He and Princess Zhaoyang, the world has nothing to say.

So, he really has no confidence in this meeting.

Let go of Princess Zhaoyang Jia Lian straightened his clothes and walked to the gate of Chonghua Palace.

The guard on duty raised his knife indifferently, signaling him to stop.

Jia Lian knelt down on the spot. , kowtowed and said in a serious voice: "Jia Lian, the grandson of Jia Daishan, the first-class Duke of Rongguo, asks to see the Supreme Emperor. ”

…

It was rumored that the Emperor and Jia Daishan had a sworn relationship. Jia Lian specifically asked to see him as Jia Daishan’s grandson, hoping that the Emperor would be considerate of an old friend.

Time passed by, but the Supreme Emperor did not receive him.

Nor did he receive Princess Zhaoyang.

The person who came out of the palace was the one Jia Lian was familiar with. The great eunuch Wang Fu.

Wang Fu walked out of the Chonghua Palace with a group of eunuchs and maids, and walked up to Jia Lian, with his nostrils turned to the sky.

Discovered Jia Lian didn't even raise his eyes to look at him. He slowly looked at Princess Zhaoyang who was also kneeling beside her, with a look on her face.His expression calmed down a bit.

Clearing his throat, Wang Fu said: "The Supreme Emperor has decreed that Princess Zhaoyang will act recklessly and tarnish the face of the Tian family. From today on, she will be banned from the Weiyang Palace and will be strictly disciplined by the Queen Mother."

When Jia Lian and Princess Zhaoyang heard this, their hearts sank.

Unexpectedly, the Supreme Emperor didn't even give them a chance to defend themselves, and just punished them.

The fourth prince, who was standing nearby and watching from a distance, was also anxious at this time and jumped out quickly: "This is not fair! It is clearly Jia Lian's fault. My imperial sister was bewitched and abducted by him, Grandpa Huang. Why did you punish the imperial sister instead!"

Wang Fu obviously respected the fourth prince a lot. When he saw the fourth prince stabbing him, he hurriedly hissed and said: "Your Highness, please be patient. The Supreme Emperor does not really want to punish the eldest princess.

The Supreme Emperor said that as long as Her Royal Highness the eldest princess can repent, the grounding will be lifted at any time..."

said , Wang Fuyi glanced at Princess Zhaoyang's belly pointedly.

At this glance, not to mention Jia Lian and Princess Zhaoyang, even the fourth prince understood.

Princess Zhaoyang’s face suddenly became sad. Knowing that the Queen Mother did not lie to her, this was really what the Emperor meant.

It’s just that she doesn’t understand why the Emperor’s mind cannot tolerate her child. After all, the child in her belly also carries the blood of the Tian family!

Could it be that, in the eyes of the Supreme Emperor, the face of the Tian family is really so important that there is no humaneness at all?

But why can they tolerate the imperial grandmother and even the emperor’s father...

“Your Highness, the eldest princess, let’s go.”

A group of palace maids led by two old nuns walked out from behind Wang Fu. They said to Princess Zhaoyang expressionlessly.

Princess Zhaoyang stood up slowly and looked at Jia Lian sadly.

Jia Lian felt equally uncomfortable at the moment.

This is imperial power!

A single sentence can determine a person's fate, life or death, making people unable to resist or dare not resist.

Even he, a world-famous hero and a young marquis who is envied by countless people, is no different.

Facing Princess Zhaoyang’s look for help, what can Jia Lian say and do?

He knew that the Supreme Emperor had even banned Princess Zhaoyang, so there was no way he would not be punished.

Sure enough, Wang Fu had turned to look at him and said calmly: "The Emperor's decree is that the second-class Zhenyuan Marquis Jia Lian deceived the princess of the current dynasty and tarnished her reputation. It is really bold.Act recklessly.

After his meritorious service, he also performed many outstanding achievements for the imperial court, so he was given a light sentence and was demoted to the third class of Zhenyuan Marquis to serve as a warning to others.

If you don’t repent, you will be severely punished without mercy. "

" Mr. Zhenyuan, do you understand? "

After saying that, Wang Fu saw Jia Lian lowering his head and saying nothing, and said slowly: "Master Marquis, please don't be ungrateful. The Emperor is very kind to you.

If someone else had committed such a serious crime, it would be a minor crime.

Mr. Marquis should be thankful that he has a good ancestor. If it weren’t for the sake of old Mr. Rongguo, this time, tusk tusk..."

Wang Fu shook his head, his expression It's not without ridicule.

In fact, he and Jia Lian have no feud, he just simply dislikes Jia Lian.

Perhaps it is because Jia Lian did not give him this Chonghua Palace before The eunuch in charge respected him enough, or maybe he saw that Jia Lian also disliked him.

In short, in the past, Jia Lian had everything going smoothly and he did not dare to show it when he was favored.

Now that Jia Lian is in trouble, he naturally does not hesitate to step on him.

It is human nature to praise the superior and suppress the inferior.

How can Jia Lian have the energy to fight with a person at this time? The eunuch was calculating the odds, and he said to Princess Zhaoyang on the side: "You go to see the Queen Mother first, and I will come to see you later. "

Princess Zhaoyang nodded and said hurriedly: "Don't be reckless..."

This time the Supreme Emperor was merciful and gave Jia Lian stern instructions, but only just Being demoted to the first rank was an obvious warning.

He was afraid that Jia Lian would further anger the Emperor and ruin his future. She knew that Jia Lian had great ambitions, and she could not bear to let Jia Lian die because of her. Great prospects.

Jia Lian smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I understand. "

Princess Zhaoyang was relieved. She glanced at Jia Lian one last time and walked away.

The maids supervising law enforcement quickly followed. Everyone could see it. The Supreme Emperor only warned Princess Zhaoyang, not to give up completely, otherwise, these people who came under orders may not have this attitude.

Jia Lian has been ignoring Wang Fu, making Wang Fu feel slighted. Treat As soon as the fourth prince and Princess Zhaoyang left, he immediately asked in a surreptitious manner: "Why, Lord Marquis has never accepted the order to thank you, is he trying to resist the order? "

Jia Lian glanced at the person in front of him indifferently. This person has already decided to die.

"My father-in-law is worrying too much. Jia Lian received the order to thank him, and asked his father-in-law to pass the news on his behalf, saying that Jia Lian risked his life to remonstrate. "

Regardless of whether the Supreme Emperor was looking at Jia Dai’s kindness or because he was useful to the court, the punishment for holding him up high and putting him down gently was true.

This shows that the Supreme Emperor is not really angry.

As he said himself, under the current situation, if he could not see the Supreme Emperor and gave up his face-to-face confession, he would really be sorry for Princess Zhaoyang's deep love for him.

In other words, you must die clearly.

"The Marquis of Zhenyuan must know how to be content. This time the Emperor has shown you extra mercy, so don't push yourself too far. The Emperor will not see you."

" It is up to the Supreme Emperor to decide whether to see him or not. Please also ask your father-in-law to be considerate and considerate. Jia Lian will remember your father-in-law's kindness and you will be rewarded in the future."

, then just kneel here."

Wang Fu snorted coldly, turned around and left, obviously not intending to help Jia Lian.

Jia Lian didn't care, straightened the clothes in front of him, and knelt in front of the empty Chonghua Palace gate.
