[Through the Book] The ancestor only wants to live a long life

Chapter 249: Emperor Taihe’s Methods (Part )

Soon, the Emperor Taihe could be heard scolding loudly: "Rong, you are so bold! Yun Hao is still an official appointed by the court. How can you decide his life or death? You are defying the court's laws, defying the court, and defying me!"

Although Rong Enqing didn't know what Emperor Taihe wanted to do, she still knelt down quickly and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, please have mercy. I was just confused for a moment and was blinded by anger. Please forgive me this time!"

"Hmph! Can you commit such a heinous crime due to a moment of confusion?" Emperor Taihe refused to give in.

"Your Majesty, please have mercy on me! Your Majesty, please have mercy on me!" Rong Enqing kowtowed quickly.

At this moment, a loud voice was announced outside the imperial study: "The Queen Mother has arrived!"

Soon, the Empress Dowager came in with Nanny Zhou.

In the imperial study, Emperor Taihe stood behind the imperial desk with a furious look on his face.

Rong Enqing knelt on the ground, looking terrified, and kowtowed to admit his mistake.

The ground behind Rong Enqing was covered with broken porcelain fragments.

Seeing the situation in the imperial study, the Empress Dowager's expression changed slightly.

Porcelain fragments, she was familiar with them! They were the special brush washer on the imperial desk of Emperor Taihe.

Because every time Emperor Taihe got angry, he wanted to smash something, but every time he smashed something, he felt sorry for those fine inkstones and brush washers.

So the empress dowager gave him an idea and asked the Imperial Household Department to customize in bulk a large number of identical porcelain brush washers.

It’s cheap and you don’t have to feel bad if it falls!

When the Queen Mother saw the broken pieces of the brush washer, her heart trembled a little.

She is not the real mother of Emperor Taihe. It would be strange if she was not scared when facing the furious Emperor Taihe.

But for the sake of her granddaughter, she still managed to stay calm and forced out a smile, and asked Emperor Taihe in surprise: "What happened? Why did you throw things again?"

Emperor Taihe stepped forward awkwardly to greet her, but instead of answering, he asked, "Why did you come here at this time, mother? Is there something wrong?"

"Nothing. I was just wondering why Madam Rong hasn't come to my place for so long. So I came to see her." The Queen Mother explained with a smile.

Emperor Taihe asked doubtfully, "Are the Queen Mother and Madam Rong familiar with each other?"

The Queen Mother scolded, "Can't you let me find someone to talk to for a while?"

Emperor Taihe said hurriedly, "Don't be angry, mother. That's not what I meant."

The Queen Mother did not argue with him and explained, "On New Year's Day, Princess Anyang brought Madam Rong to my place. I chatted with Madam Rong for a while and found that we got along very well. So I thought that since you invited Madam Rong to the palace today, I could have a chat with her. Who knew that I would wait and wait but no one showed up. So I came to you, didn't I?"

Hearing this, Emperor Taihe understood. Rong Enqing and Princess Anyang have always been good friends.

I think Princess Anyang was afraid that Rong Enqing might get into trouble in the palace, so she asked the Empress Dowager to protect him in advance.

Emperor Taihe shook his head, somewhat helpless. But then his eyes lit up. With the Queen Mother's appearance, his scene was completely perfect!

Thinking of this, Emperor Taihe said solemnly: "Mother, Madam Rong disregarded the law, despised the court, abused private punishment, intended to kill secretly, and murdered the court officials. This is truly an unforgivable crime!"

"What!?" The Queen Mother was shocked. "What's going on?"

This question was directed to Rong Enqing.

Rong Enqing quickly replied, "My illegitimate son Yun Hao first attempted to murder my wife Song, and then planned to poison my eldest grandson Yun Ye. I was angry at the time, so I wanted to kill him in private."

"How can this be! How can there be such a vicious person in the world? He deserves to be killed!" The Queen Mother was filled with righteous indignation, and then asked, "Is nothing wrong with Song and your grandson?"

"Thank you for your concern, Queen Mother. Song and Yun Ye are both fine."

"What about Yun Hao? Is this evil guy dead?" the Queen Mother asked again.

"To reply to the Empress Dowager, Yun Hao is fine too." Rong Enqing answered truthfully.

During the question and answer, Rong Enqing couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth.

His eyes unconsciously glanced at Madam Zhou who was standing by the wall after he entered the door. Zhou Xue is really reliable! This Empress Dowager is not bad either!

As expected, the Empress Dowager said to Emperor Taihe: "Emperor, you see, Madam Rong is excusable for her mistakes. Since no one is dead, I think it would be better to make a big deal out of a small matter."

Emperor Taihe looked embarrassed, and after a long while he sighed and said, "My mother has said so, so I can't make it too hard for Madam Rong. However, the death penalty can be waived, but the punishment cannot be waived!"

The Queen Mother wanted to say something else, but after thinking it over, she held back and did not open her mouth.

"The Queen Mother has spoken for you, and I can't afford to offend her."

Emperor Taihe said to Rong Enqing, "I will punish you by assigning the area north of the back garden of Shun'an Marquis's Mansion to the Princess's Mansion."

When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned. What did this mean?

Then the Emperor Taihe continued, "Lingchuan's marriage has been decided. These days, I am selecting a location to build a princess's mansion for her. The place I chose is behind Shun'an Marquis's Mansion. It's just that the place is a little small and a little short of the specifications for the princess's mansion, so it has not been finalized yet.

"That's perfect. I will use one-tenth of the Shun'an Marquis's homestead as a punishment for the Madam. Does the Madam have any objection?"

Rong Enqing smiled bitterly. He had gone through so much trouble just to openly include Baishou Hall and Duiyue Pavilion in the scope of the "Princess Mansion".

It just so happens that when the princess's mansion is being built, the treasure can be dug out. When the princess's mansion is being renovated, the treasure can be transported back to the palace.

As expected of Emperor Taihe, he has thought of everything. He is indeed the best!

What else could Rong Enqing say? She could only smile bitterly and agree, "I have no objection."

"Well, that's settled."

Emperor Taihe made the final decision, and then added: "Also, tomorrow I want to hear the news that Yun Zhushi will return to the Ministry of Personnel to work."

Rong Enqing quickly agreed respectfully: "I obey your order."

At this point, everything is basically settled.

Yun Hong was kept, and he continued to play the role of Yun Hao and marry the aunt of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

The treasure hiding place was assigned to the princess's mansion and taken over by Emperor Taihe.

And she also completely turned to Emperor Taihe, and they had a tacit understanding with each other. As long as Rong Enqing did not commit suicide, Emperor Taihe would not touch her and the people around her for the time being.

Seeing that the matter was almost over, the Queen Mother asked at the right time: "Is there anything else, Emperor? If not, I have to take Madam Rong back to Shoukang Palace now."

"Mother, I am fine now." Emperor Taihe said with a smile, "I will see you off."

"No, just do your thing." The Queen Mother decisively refused and waved to Rong Enqing, saying, "Madam Rong, please follow me."

"Yes." Rong Enqing responded quickly and quickly followed the Queen Mother's footsteps.

However, just after she took a few steps, she heard Emperor Taihe calling her from behind: "Madam Tai."
