C128 Wife Divorce

"Emperor, Consort Eldest Prince is not such a vicious person. That palace maid must have been ordered by someone else. She came to frame Imperial Concubine Eldest Prince. " As soon as the Empress spoke, Consort Long laughed happily in her heart. What a fool, I don't even know how he got that position!

Mu Ruqing did not look at the Empress but looked at Yu Longzi. She looked at his expression as if he had just eaten a bitter melon. Then she looked at Mu Ruxuan who looked like she was sifting. It seemed that he did not know about this matter. It was just that Mu Ruqing also did not think that the Empress would be so stupid as to pour the blame on herself.

"Royal Father, the matter is clear. Please punish Imperial Concubine." The one who spoke was Yu Longzi. The Empress was stupid, but he was not stupid. When the Empress spoke, he could not stop her even if he wanted to. He could only look at the Empress with disappointment.

"Royal Father, this son and brother Eldest Prince have different views. This son thinks that... As Empress said, Eldest Prince Concubine and the Princess are biological sisters. Why would Consort Eldest Prince do such a vicious thing? Someone must be framing Consort Eldest Prince. " Yu Longchen refuted Yu Longzi's words with a few words. Since he had jumped in, how could he leave so easily?

"I beg the Emperor to make the decision for me." Mu Ruqing kept her tears and her sorrowful expression revealed stubbornness.

The Emperor looked at the defenseless Empress and his eyes carried a look of scrutiny. He was originally suspicious, if the palace maid was bewitched, then... If he wanted to poison Princess Chu and frame Mu Ruxuan, then it should be Consort Long who said it first. This way, the Emperor felt that the Empress had nothing to do with this matter.

But when these words came out of the Empress's mouth, in the eyes of the Emperor, the Empress was playing dumb so that the Emperor would suspect the Empress.

Consort Long knew the Emperor's paranoid personality, so she did not bring this matter to the Empress and waited for the Empress to say it herself. The Empress really did not disappoint me.

"The person is already dead, may I ask where King Chu is going to start investigating?" Yu Longzi frowned. It was virtually impossible to completely rid the Empress of suspicion. What the Emperor believes in, how can the son change? Since it was already like this, there could only be no witnesses.

"Could it be that the poison fell from the sky?" Yu Longtang and Yu Longchen were in the same breath. They sat in front of the table and said something that seemed like a joke.

"Royal Father, please investigate thoroughly!" Yu Longchen walked over and knelt with Mu Ruqing. He looked at Mu Ruqing with concern and love.

Looking at the two of them, the Emperor seemed to have thought of something and his eyes became a little uncertain. But after a moment, he became shrewd again. "Empress, that palace maid is actually your person? You understand her, then tell me, who would be the one framing Imperial Concubine Eldest Prince?"

The Empress saw the Emperor's cold gaze and felt a bone-chilling cold from her nails. Her hands and feet became numb. No matter how stupid she was, hearing the Emperor's threatening words, she still remembered it.

In her heart, there was only fear. Now, the Emperor has already suspected her. That palace maid was originally one of my people. The Emperor asking this is to ask me if I admit my crime or not. She sat on the golden chair for a long time without moving.

Yu Longzi looked sideways at Mu Ruxuan with a face full of disappointment and resolution. His reproachful and unhappy attitude made Mu Ruxuan tremble. If it did not violate his interests, perhaps he would have kept me. Now that the Empress had been dragged into this matter by him, no matter what direction it was going in, in the end, I'll have to plead guilty and die, so I might as well admit it now... Maybe he'll still plead for me on behalf of the husband and wife relationship... He might even have a chance to live.

After thinking it through, Mu Ruxuan hatefully looked at Mu Ruqing but was unable to do so. She kowtowed and pleaded, "I know my crime! Everything was done by me."

"En?" The Emperor's cold gaze shot towards Mu Ruxuan. It could be said that the Emperor's face was expressionless, but it just so happened that this expressionless face made Mu Ruxuan's heart feel even colder.

Mu Ruxuan pretended to be calm and her slightly trembling lips betrayed her, "It's me."

"Although we are of the same father and different mother, we are sisters. I can at least call you elder sister, but why can't you tolerate me like this?" Mu Ruqing lowered her head and her tone was indifferent. There was also endless hatred that pierced Mu Ruxuan's ears.

"Hahaha. Sisters?" Mu Ruxuan laughed at herself and asked herself.

"I do not dare to have such a vicious wife. I beg Royal Father to allow me to divorce my wife!" Every word Yu Longzi said hit Mu Ruxuan in the heart. She thought he would plead for mercy, but she did not expect him to not care about the relationship between husband and wife at all.

I was too naive. He married me only because my father was the prime minister. Mistress Ling was doted on by her father. Now, Mistress Ling was locked up for the rest of her life. I have long been useless to Yu Longzi. Today, the matter was exposed. He naturally would not keep me. It would be better to push the boat along with the current. Dismiss me and leave the position of Eldest Prince Concubine to those who are useful!

Yu Longzi! You know that I'm willing to give everything for you, but I don't want to have no weight in your heart! Mu Ruxuan's expression changed from fear to collapse. She was the person she was thinking about. She did not even give me a glimmer of hope when she got my head!

Seeing Mu Ruxuan's defeated appearance, Mu Ruqing felt a heartache. Mei, I have avenged you. She silently stared at the ground and a line of clear tears fell onto the cold floor.

The Empress was busy with her own matters and she also blamed Mu Ruxuan in her heart. If it was not for her... She would not have been suspected by the Emperor even though she pleaded guilty. But the Emperor's suspicion would not decrease. A pair of long phoenix eyes coldly stared at Mu Ruxuan's lowered head. He wished that there was no such daughter-in-law.

"Since the matter has been investigated and the criminal has pleaded guilty, the sinner's wife Mu Ruxuan will be demoted to a civilian and sent to the Imperial Prison!" The Emperor lowered his eyelids and looked at the Empress and Yu Longzi with his astute eyes.

"Thank the Emperor for making the decision for me!" Mu Ruqing kowtowed and expressed her gratitude. After giving the order, even if she was not sentenced to death, but she spent the rest of her life in prison and treated Mu Ruxuan with such arrogance. To an arrogant and conceited person, it was better to die than live. This was much better than letting her die happily...

Mu Ruxuan broke down. When she saw the royal guards enter, she was afraid to crawl back. She held her head and shouted, "Get lost! I am Concubine Eldest Prince! You dare to be impudent!"

The royal guards received the order from the Emperor and dragged the crazy Mu Ruxuan away. Mu Ruxuan's nails that were dyed with Kodan tightly clung onto the wooden board. "Sssss! Sssss! Sssss!" There was a piercing sound, accompanied by her heart-wrenching cry, "Eldest Prince, save me! I have already..."

She did not finish her sentence because Yu Longchen had used his inner energy to throw a peanut and knocked Mu Ruxuan out!

Mu Ruqing glanced at Yu Longchen unhappily. I also want to know what she wants to say. Yu Longchen ignored her gaze and knelt down to ask the Emperor, "Royal Father, the Princess was frightened and this son wants to bring her back to the residence."

"Go!" Having received the Emperor's approval, Yu Longchen put his hands on Mu Ruqing's delicate shoulders and nodded to Consort Long to indicate that they were leaving the main hall.

No one was in the mood for the banquet. The Emperor sat for a while before he left. He asked Consort Long to go with him.

During the banquet where the princes and princesses were present, it was undoubtedly a heavy slap to the Empress's face, letting everyone know that the Empress was not to be pampered.

They also saw the scene just now and did not know what expression to put on. They just acted as if nothing had happened. Yu Longzi drank his wine. Mu Ruxuan was useless. He was stupid and even implicated Royal Mother.

Raising his head to drink a cup, Mu Ruqing's figure flashed across his mind. When he saw her sad appearance tonight, he felt some heartache. Could it be that there was a reason why he was so determined to give up on Mu Ruxuan? Was it because of her?
