RPAGF Chapter 436
Chapter 436
The officers and soldiers came forward to arrest Ji Qingqing, Chen Huaxiu and Wu Shijie.
She struggled and said, "Let me go, please let me go. I didn't kill Wu Jinxi."
Just at this moment, Ji Nanchuan and Ji Qingfeng hurried over.
When Ji Qingqing saw them, it was like she had found a life-saving straw. She shouted loudly: "Father, second brother, save me."
Ji Nanchuan stepped forward and asked Zhao Chengjiu, "Master Zhao, what's going on?"
Zhao Chengjiu bowed to Ji Nanchuan and said, "My Lord, Second Young Master, someone reported to the authorities that Second Miss Ji had killed someone. I am only following their instructions. I have arrested Second Miss Ji and brought her to the government office for trial. I hope that My Lord will not embarrass me."
Ji Nanchuan frowned. The thing he was most worried about had happened.
I just didn't expect the officers and soldiers to arrive so quickly.
He asked: "May I ask Lord Zhao, if my daughter can be released after being sent to the government office?"
Zhao Chengjiu shook his head and said, "I am just following orders. I dare not promise anything to you, Lord Marquis."
"I only know that how this case will be tried still depends on the opinions of those people in the palace."
"If there is nothing else, I will take my leave first!"
Zhao Chengjiu waved his hand, and the soldiers took Ji Qingqing and Chen Huaxiu, mother and son, away!
Three corpses were also carried away!
Ji Qingfeng looked anxious as he watched Ji Qingqing being forcibly taken away by soldiers.
He wanted to move forward, but was pulled back by Ji Nanchuan.
"What are you going to do?"
Ji Qingfeng frowned and asked, "Father, are we just going to let them take Qingqing away like this?"
"It's hard to guarantee Qingqing's life or death if she goes to the government office. She is my sister after all, I can't just stand by and watch her die."
"Confused!" Ji Nanchuan frowned slightly and looked at him disapprovingly.
"Didn't you hear what Lord Zhao just said, that how this case will be tried depends on what the palace thinks?"
"So many people saw Qingqing kill someone. If you intervene now, it will only drag our entire mansion into it. Do you want to destroy our entire family because of her?"
Ji Nanchuan was very angry. He felt that he had raised his daughter for so many years in vain!
After carefully cultivating and teaching her for such a long time, I didn't expect that she would be so foolish as to kill someone in public, and Wu Jinxi also died in front of her.
It would be a lie for Ji Nanchuan to say that he was not disappointed.
Since Ji Qingqing concealed her background and lied to the prince, he could go to the emperor and plead for a lighter sentence.
But her murder was witnessed by all, so it would be difficult for her to get away with it.
Ji Nanchuan narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Ji Qingqing has lost her usefulness to the Marquis' Mansion.
It seems that when it comes to the last resort, he will have no choice but to give up Ji Qingqing to save the Yongning Marquis Mansion!
Imperial palace, main hall.
Luo Jingshen knelt on the ground and bowed deeply to Emperor Jingyang who was sitting on the throne.
"I beg you to issue an order to allow Miss Ji and I to break off our engagement."
Luo Feizhou stood aside and sneered mercilessly: "Hey, who said before that Miss Feiji would not marry the second lady? Why did you regret it so quickly?"
"It seems that the Crown Prince's love for Miss Ji Er is not very firm!"
Luo Jingshen listened to Luo Feizhou's sarcastic words and glared at him unhappily.
"If you were my fifth brother, would you marry a woman who is full of lies?"
Luo Feizhou stopped talking for a moment!
Compared to Ji Qingqing, he still prefers a woman like Ji Yuntang who is both capable of housework and housework.
That’s what he said, how could Ji Yuntang, an illegitimate daughter, be more powerful than Ji Qingqing, the legitimate daughter of the marquis’s mansion?
It turns out that this is not only a reversal of Tiangang, but also a substitution of one thing for another.
All I can say is that everyone in the Yongning Marquis’ Mansion thinks their lives are too long!
Luo Jingshen said loudly again: "Miss Ji lied to me first and then killed me. There is no possibility for me and her anymore. Please ask your father to withdraw the imperial decree granting the marriage."
After learning the whole story, Emperor Jingyang was extremely angry.
For a moment, he even had the thought of executing the entire family of the marquis, but was persuaded by Eunuch Zhang who was serving beside him.
Eunuch Zhang said: "The century-old foundation of the Yongning Marquisate was built by the old marquisates for generations. They are the ones who have truly made military achievements. The peace and stability of Dongchen Country cannot be achieved without their contributions."
"Although the current Marquis doesn't fight on the battlefield and can't compare to the old Marquis, he still has the old Marquis' blood. If the Emperor executes their entire family because of Ji Qingqing, how many ministers will be disappointed."
It is no exaggeration to say that the previous generation shed blood and tears to fight for the empire so that their descendants could live a good life and be protected by imperial power.
If the imperial power cannot even protect their descendants, then who would be willing to charge into battle and serve the royal family in the future?
Although Emperor Jingyang was angry, he knew that what Eunuch Zhang said made sense.
The longevity of the Marquisate is largely due to the contribution of Marquis Ji.
Unfortunately, by the generation of Ji Nanchuan and Ji Huaiche, it had gradually declined!
There is no need for imperial power to punish them, they can kill themselves.
Emperor Jingyang agreed to Luo Jingshen's proposal without much thought.
"Zhang Fugui, pass on my decree. The marriage between the Crown Prince and Miss Ji II is cancelled. The government can review it as it sees fit."
"As for Ji Nanchuan, he deceived the emperor and deceived his superiors. He will be fined for half a year. Let him go back and reflect on himself. When he has reflected clearly, he can come to court again."
Since this concerns the reputation of the royal family, he could not possibly allow the prince to marry a woman with a stain.
So this marriage must be called off!
Luo Jingshen was overjoyed and kowtowed to express his gratitude, "Thank you, Father."
Luo Feizhou rolled his eyes silently and looked down upon Luo Jingshen.
After leaving Emperor Jingyang, Luo Jingshen went to the Queen's Fengyi Palace again and apologized to the Queen in the same way.
"Mother, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have refuted your words and forced myself to marry Miss Ji. Now I regret it!"
"I promise that I will discuss everything with you from now on and will never act on my own again!"
The queen slowly raised her eyes, stepped forward and helped Luo Jingshen up.
She said with a gentle look in her eyes: "It's good that you know you are wrong. Every failure is a learning experience. Just take this as a lesson!"
"You can't judge a person by appearance. Miss Ji has a beautiful appearance, but her personal qualities are not up to par with those of a noble family. The Queen Mother tried to stop you in every way at that time just to make you realize this."
"But fortunately, it's not too late for you to wake up now. Don't act on impulse again in the future."
Luo Jingshen responded obediently, "Yes, mother, I understand everything."
"Mother is the one closest to me. I will definitely respect you well in the future."
Luo Jingshen exchanged a few words with the queen. Although the queen's expression was gentle, it was not very enthusiastic.
This made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"Mother, I will take my leave now!"
