Chapter 258 258: Severe punishment


    Chu Huining was really frightened by Emperor Chengde''s anger today. Years of favor made her almost forget that her imperial brother is the emperor first, and her elder brother second.


    And they are not siblings of the same mother.


    Chu Huining nodded blankly, and Madam Duan helped her into the carriage and left the palace.


    In Chengqian Palace, Hu Qian called the maid to clean up the debris on the ground, and served a cup of tea to Emperor Chengde again.


    "The emperor calmed down. Princess Huining has just returned to Beijing from Ningzhou. The journey is far away, so it is inevitable that she will know what happened during this period of time. Prince An is the lifeblood of the princess, so it is inevitable that she said something wrong in a moment of anger." Hu An persuaded with a smile.


    Emperor Cheng De took a sip from the teacup, then glanced at him lightly: "You took her favor and spoke for her like this?"


    It''s really annoying.


    His son was coaxed and brought back to the capital, and he was unwilling to scold him even for a serious sentence. Today, he was so slandered by Chu Huining. After all these years of being tolerant to her, he really thought he was a soft persimmon for her to pinch. Flat and round?


    Hu Qian groaned, and immediately knelt down in panic and said: "Your Majesty, the loyalty of the slave to the emperor can be learned from the sun and the moon. I am not speaking for Princess Huining. The slave is feeling sorry for the emperor who put his body away for someone who is not worth it. Bad."


    Emperor Cheng De stretched his legs and kicked him lightly: "Get up, the kneecap is hard, isn''t it?"


    The **** who served him since he was a child, how could Emperor Chengde distrust Hu Qian?


    It''s just that my heart is too angry, and I can''t help but want to vent it.


    Hu Qian hurriedly climbed up the pole, smiling so hard that he couldn''t see his eyes: "This servant knows that the emperor loves this servant, and he is not willing to let him kneel down."


    Emperor Cheng De rolled his eyes angrily, turned around and walked to the table.


    Seeing his hot pen, Hu Qian immediately trotted over to polish the ink for Emperor Chengde.


    "Your Majesty, are you going to approve the memorial?"


    "Not to criticize, Zheng Wenwu is too arrogant relying on being the son of a princess, I have to punish him severely, or he really thinks he can dominate in the capital."


    Emperor Chengde gritted his teeth.


    Hu Qian stopped talking and grinded silently.


    Some words, the emperor can say, but he can not respond.


    No matter how angry the emperor is with Princess Hui Ning, Princess Hui Ning is also a princess of the royal family. If a servant of him responds, it will be a crime.


    Besides serving the emperor for so many years, Hu Qian knows when to speak and when to remain silent.


    Soon, Emperor Chengde wrote an imperial decree, put down the pen, stamped the jade seal, and then threw it to Hu Qian, and said with a gloomy face: "Go to the princess'' mansion to pass on my decree, Zheng Wenwu and below must commit the crime of colliding with the eighth prince." Forgive me, thinking that he was seriously injured, I will spare his life, but the death penalty is inevitable, and now the title of county king will be revoked, and when he recovers from his injuries, he will be responsible for 50 boards as a respectful example."


    Hu Qian clutched the bright yellow imperial edict in a panic, and couldn''t help being startled when he heard the emperor''s words.


    Does this deprive you of your title?


    "What are you doing in a daze, don''t hurry up." Emperor Chengde slapped the table and shouted.


    Hu Qian bowed and left quickly.


    Out of Chengqian Palace, his apprentice Hu Liang trotted over: "Master, what are you doing?"


    Hu Qian squinted at him, and raised the imperial decree in his hand: "I don''t have long eyes, hurry up and prepare a sedan chair for me."


    "Hey, disciple is going now."


    Xiao Liangzi immediately went to make arrangements.


    Soon the sedan chair stopped at the gate of the palace, Hu Qian got into the sedan chair, followed by dozens of imperial guardsmen, Xiao Liangzi accompanied the sedan chair, and asked softly through the sedan chair: "Master, first Director Deng from the Eighth Highness''s residence enters the palace, and then Princess Huining came here in a rage, what happened?"


    He was serving outside the hall. As soon as Director Deng left, Princess Huining came, and he didn''t even have a chance to ask Master.


    However, there was a lot of commotion in the hall. Although they didn''t hear everything outside, they also knew that Princess Huining had provoked the emperor''s fury, which was quite an unprecedented thing.


    Xiao Liangzi was young, so naturally he couldn''t help asking, but if his master couldn''t tell, he wouldn''t ask.


    But this matter can be said.


    The emperor told him to go to the princess mansion with the imperial decree, and he still severely punished An Jun... No, now he can''t be called An Jun Wang, but must be Young Master Zheng, so it''s not a secret.


    Hu Qian sat in the sedan chair and said the matter again.


    Xiao Liangzi was dumbfounded when he heard this: "This...is this Princess Huining overstepping..." He wanted to ask if Princess Huining had drifted away.


    But saying this is really disrespectful, so I didn''t dare.


    Although she is the princess, what qualifications do she have to compare with the prince?


    Not to mention a county king.


    This is still a collision. The eighth prince beats people with a sense of dignity. Even if King An did not attack His Highness, if His Highness wants to hit someone, then King An, as a subject, can only bear it.


    Princess Huining dared to enter the palace to ask the emperor to make decisions.


    Xiao Liangzi clicked her tongue and was speechless.


    "So the emperor is furious." Hu Qian said.


    No matter how noble Princess Hui Ning is, she is actually not as noble as the emperor''s daughter. It''s just that the emperor thought of the kindness between Princess Hui Ning and the Zheng family and took care of her many times, but Princess Hui Ning became crazy with this capital.


    Before, she didn''t touch the Emperor''s Ni Lin, and the Emperor didn''t care about her.


    Didn''t the tiger''s beard be pulled out today?


    The two of them complained in their hearts at the same time, and stopped talking.


    After all, it''s the master''s business, if they say too much and spread it, it''s their fault.


    Princess Mansion is not close to the imperial palace. Princess Hui Ning stepped into Zheng Wenwu’s courtyard when she returned home. Then someone reported that Eunuch Hu had come.


    Chu Huining''s heart skipped a beat, and he turned around and went to the front yard.


    Hu Qian stood at the head, his fair face was solemn, Xiao Liangzi stood a step behind him, and the Imperial Forest Army stood on both sides. The atmosphere was heavy no matter how you looked at it.


    "The minion sees the princess, the princess is auspicious."


    Hu Qian saluted Xiao Liangzi.


    Chu Huining twitched the corners of his mouth stiffly, and said, "Eunuch Hu please, but what do you want to order?"


    She looked at the imperial decree in Hu Qian''s hand, and somehow her heart beat violently.


    If Hu Qian came with the imperial decree before she entered the palace, she might still be complacent thinking that the emperor must have known about Chu Jinyan''s **** and made an order to appease her and her son. After the Thunder Fury, Chu Huining was still in shock, so he really didn''t dare to report too good thoughts.


    "The emperor ordered the servants to deliver the decree, and the princess will accept the decree."


    Chu Huining responded and knelt down to accept the order.


    "Fengtian delivered..."


    Hu Qian held up the sacred decree and recited it. Every time Chu Huining heard a word, his face turned pale, and in the end he knelt down a little precariously.


    After the imperial decree was finished, she looked up at Hu Qian in disbelief: "Brother Huang is so cruel, he actually abolished the position of civil and military county king?"


    The corner of Hu Qian''s mouth twitched slightly, secretly thinking princess, are you really not afraid of death?


    Dare to question the emperor''s decision, and even bluntly say that the emperor is cruel?


    "Princess, please accept the order." Hu Qian said.


    He pretended not to hear what he just said.
