Chapter 489: Calculate and weigh everything to get the best out of it
Leng Xian was speechless.
What else can he say to justify his actions?
Could he say that he wasn't actually that obsessed with Yin?
Could he say that he was trapped in a nightmare, and the ones who made love with him in the dream were all celestial beauties, not Yin?
Could he say that he was unable to get out of bed and missed the morning court session because of his excessive indulgence?
Leng Xian's clothes were already soaked with cold sweat!
When the civil and military officials in the palace heard and saw this, they didn’t know what to think about what they saw!
They understood that the emperor had specifically ordered Marquis Qinxing to attend court today, and this was his purpose.
The emperor must have planned for today's morning court session early to deal with Marquis Qinxing!
The mansion of Marquis Qinxing was completely robbed;
All of Fu Baozhen's dowry was lost;
The fact that Fu Baozhen's dowry was seized and embezzled by Qinxing Marquis Leng Xian, his mother, concubines, and illegitimate children could no longer be concealed!
Is the emperor angry or furious?
Is the Emperor trying to stand up for the deceased Fu Baozhen?
To vent his anger for his future daughter-in-law, Leng Rongyue?
But, what are the matters regarding all the civil and military officials who come to attend the morning court?
He got up early and went out before daybreak to attend court in the palace;
And the result is, just to watch the emperor punish Marquis Qinxing?
Come to the morning court to eat melons...
This is simply... This is simply...
Haha...this is simply an unexpected benefit!
This is much more interesting than the emperor hosting a palace banquet, inviting them to eat half-cold food and watch the same old songs and dances!
Besides, too many people have already disliked Marquis Qinxing for his cold and cold personality!
In the past, because he was the son-in-law of Anguo Gong Fu Peng, even if he had no real ability or achievements, the officials in the court were willing to give him some face for the sake of Anguo Gong and his son.
Later, Marquis Qinxing brought his concubine and her daughter into his mansion.
Not long after, Duke Anguo Fu Peng's beloved daughter Fu Baozhen suddenly passed away.
The Qinxing Marquis Mansion's external statement was that the cause was an accidental miscarriage and heavy bleeding.
That being said, how many people believe it?
The concubine entered the house, and the wife died...
Who wouldn't suspect the secret behind this?
There's just no evidence.
Now, the emperor took the lead in bringing up the old matter again.
Perhaps it was because Fu Baozhen's daughter Leng Rongyue was recently married to the emperor's favorite youngest son, Prince Yu.
Leng Rongyue has become the emperor's future daughter-in-law, so as a father-in-law, the emperor naturally has to protect his daughter-in-law!
The emperor naturally could not sit idly by when his own daughter-in-law was bullied by his scumbag father and the vicious grandmother, stepmother, and stepbrothers and stepsisters in the mansion.
As the future father-in-law of the emperor, it is inevitable for him to support and make decisions for his own daughter-in-law.
Today's morning court session should be about dealing with Qinxing Hou Leng Xian.
The civil and military officials were right...
However, their thinking is a bit narrow.
It's not just to vent;
It's not just about letting the ministers come to court to eat melons.
Things are far from as simple as they think.
Today's matter is not simple -
Qinxing Hou Leng Xian also thought of this.
There was no way he hadn't thought of it.
The emperor is the Son of Heaven. No matter how much he likes to pry into other people's private lives or gossip, it is impossible for him to eat melons and gossip with all the civil and military officials in the Golden Palace where state affairs are discussed.
impossible.
The only possibility is that the Emperor has something to investigate;
The person to be held accountable is yourself.
Or maybe the emperor wants to hold the entire Marquis Qinxing’s Mansion accountable.
Leng Xian now only hopes that the emperor is only going to pursue Fu Baozhen's dowry.
It is true that myself, my mother, Yin, and the two illegitimate children have been enjoying Fu Baozhen's dowry.
If it weren't for Fu Baozhen's dowry, the Marquis Qinxing's Mansion would have been unable to make ends meet and could not sustain itself!
Not to mention making the entire Marquis Qinxing Mansion as prosperous and wealthy as oil boiling in a raging fire.
It can be said that the entire Marquis Qinxing Mansion was able to maintain its glory for so many years thanks to Fu Baozhen’s dowry.
Although no one pointed this out to people's faces, it was actually already known to everyone.
Are you feeling dull?
Is it embarrassing?
But I no longer care.
Compared with enjoying wealth and glory, what does face matter?
If I had any dignity back then, how could I have married Fu Baozhen from the Anguo Mansion!
He is Fu Baozhen's husband and Leng Rongyue's biological father.
As long as Leng Rongyue is around, no matter how much of Fu Baozhen's dowry is missing, the source can be found on Leng Rongyue.
What's wrong with raising Fu Baozhen's daughter and using Fu Baozhen's dowry?
Even people know that this is a bad word.
But even if he is the emperor, he can't afford to lose his head just because of this.
At worst, they will be fined or demoted;
The worst outcome is stripping of title or dismissal from office.
However, as long as the imperial edict granting the marriage exists, he is the father-in-law of His Royal Highness Prince Yu, and no one can change that!
As long as he is still the father-in-law of His Royal Highness Prince Yu, the Emperor cannot be cruel to him or do anything extreme!
As long as Fu Baozhen's dowry can be recovered,
The worst that could happen was that he would risk humiliation once more and use filial piety to force Leng Rongyue to agree to leave Fu Baozhen's dowry to him.
It would be nice even if I could just be a rich and idle person.
As long as... as long as the emperor and the government don't investigate Fu Baozhen's death.
