Chapter 229 Nunnery
Hearing the emperor's angry curse, Ziwei was stunned for a moment. She was a little puzzled, "How is it possible?"
The whole city knew everything, and she did it cleanly and efficiently, so how could it be known by outsiders?
"How is it impossible? Do you know what's being said? You have the nerve to do these things, and I don't even have the nerve to listen. You're so shameless, and what you've done is really good! You've completely ruined my reputation!"
Ziwei was baffled, but she had a bad feeling in her heart, "What's going on outside?"
"Don't you know what you did? If you didn't do anything, how could there be any groundless rumors?"
Looking at the furious emperor in front of her, Ziwei suddenly thought of Erkang's threats to her that day.
"Could it be? No, where does Erkang get all these connections and means? He's just a useless person!"
Yes, no wonder the emperor was so angry. Erkang is such a despicable guy, he only knows how to use these despicable means!
The emperor was almost amused by Ziwei's stupidity. How could he have such a stupid daughter?
"Look at all the princesses in this palace. Which one didn't get the approval of me and the Empress Dowager before they could get close to their future husbands? But you, on the other hand, secretly got engaged before you even entered the palace, and now you've killed someone out of hatred for your love. You're truly amazing."
Ziwei slumped on the ground, not understanding why Erkang could be so vicious.
Looking at the angry emperor, Ziwei also felt resentful. "I asked you for permission to marry me before, but you didn't agree. I just broke up with him because you said so."
Even the emperor would applaud her for her ability to turn the tables.
"How can I watch my daughter marry a criminal and a useless person?"
"Yeah, so what's wrong with my daughter taking action to end his life?"
What's wrong? The emperor was furious.
"Don't you understand by now? Your mistake was being too stupid! Your mistake was that you shouldn't have secretly agreed to spend your life with someone before the overall situation was settled! Your mistake was that after making a huge mistake, you had a hundred ways to solve it, but you chose the dumbest one, and then let someone outmaneuver you, leaving you in a mess!"
"The whole city is in turmoil now, and your reputation is completely ruined. Even if I help you clear your name, do you think those people will believe me?"
"Do you think that Fulcon really loves you and can't live without you? He's just counting on you to turn things around. You could have driven them out of the capital even with money, but you took matters into your own hands. That's quick and decisive, and you're also quite ruthless."
The emperor felt like he was about to be furious. How could a gentle woman like Yuhe raise such a daughter? She didn't inherit any of their intelligence.
"Get out! I don't want to see you again!" The emperor turned his head away and pointed at the door and shouted angrily. He was already annoyed just looking at her, and now he had to help her clean up her mess and restore the royal reputation. The emperor felt extremely disgusted.
It was not until she heard the emperor's words that Ziwei realized how wrong she was.
But she didn't dare to gamble. She was afraid that the emperor would dislike her after knowing this, or simply throw her away to the Fu family. How could she gamble with her own future? Of course, she had to kill him to feel at ease.
But it was too late to say anything now. She hadn't expected that Falcon really had a backup plan. It turned out that he wasn't just threatening her with empty words.
Ziwei knelt on the ground with lifeless eyes, refusing to move. She murmured a request, "Father Emperor, you are the only one who can help your daughter now."
The emperor rubbed his head. His children were all debts. They were all the mistakes he made in the past, and they were finally taking revenge on him.
Xia Yuhe hated him for forgetting her, so she created Ziwei to make him angry, right?
Thinking of this, the emperor suddenly picked up the inkstone on the table and smashed it to the ground.
Ziwei shuddered with fear, but still looked at the emperor pitifully. If the emperor didn't care about her, she would be really finished.
"You still have the nerve to ask me for help? I won't care about you. Not only that, I won't recognize you. The nunnery is your best destination. Go ahead."
A nunnery? Ziwei knelt upright in disbelief, unable to believe her ears. "Father Emperor! How can you be so heartless! Do you want me to die?"
Seeing that Ziwei was still like this and had no idea of her mistakes, the emperor was completely disappointed and he made up his mind.
"Come, pass on the decree. My adopted daughter, Princess Huanzhu, Xia Ziwei, has committed grave offenses due to poor upbringing. I feel guilty and decree that she be sent to Mount Wutai's Pushou Temple to become a nun, to live by the ancient Buddha's green lamp and repent for her sins."
"Shave your head and become a nun?" Ziwei screamed. It was rare in history for a princess to be punished by shaving her head and becoming a nun. The emperor was really cruel.
"Your Majesty, you might as well just sentence me to death!" Ziwei went crazy. She suddenly stood up and rushed towards the pillar in the hall again. However, after Ziwei hit the pillar last time, the eunuchs and guards in the palace had been paying special attention to these things. This time they easily stopped Ziwei.
"I originally only wanted to punish you by making you quiet your mind, but you are not only shameless, but you still don't realize your mistakes. You should reflect on your mistakes in Mount Wutai."
When the guards carried Ziwei out, she was still struggling.
"Father Emperor! You are so sorry to my mother. She didn't ask me to come find you, but you didn't treat me like this. Do you really want my mother to be disappointed in you again in the afterlife?"
Hearing Ziwei still using Xia Yuhe to threaten him, the emperor felt nothing but annoyance and shouted, "Get out!"
How could a gentle woman like Xia Yuhe give birth to a daughter like Ziwei? She didn't teach her well. If he could have forced Yuhe to come back, he would not have taught his daughter like this.
Thinking of Xia Yuhe, the emperor felt a surge of anger in his heart again.
At this time, there was also a commotion outside the palace. Fu Ling'an had just rushed back home when he saw Fu Heng and Prince Guo discussing something very seriously.
Yongheng was also scratching his head, wondering why he became like this after just one visit to the palace.
"If this matter is not handled properly, it will have an impact on the royal children." Prince Guo was so angry that he was blowing his beard and glaring. The direction of public opinion has gradually shifted towards the royal children.
Family is like this, one rotten egg spoils the whole barrel.
"I have sent people to guide public opinion." Although it was a bit inhumane, the main public opinion was still directed towards Xia Ziwei's lack of education. She was already useless, and other people must not be implicated.
Besides, Yongheng and Qing'er's wedding is imminent, so it's better to suppress this matter as soon as possible.
"Ling'an is back. How's the matter with Xiao Zhihang?" Fu Heng perked up when he saw Fu Ling'an coming back.
"Well, there is indeed an injustice in this matter. I plan to freshen up and go to the palace to report."
"Don't go yet. The emperor may not be in the mood to take care of this matter now." Fu Heng waved his hand to stop Fu Ling'an from getting into trouble.
"What's wrong?" I just heard the two of them discussing something, and it seemed like it was a big deal.
Prince Guo rarely glared at him but sighed.
Fu Heng and Yong Heng also both sighed. Seeing that the two elders were reluctant to speak, Yong Heng stepped forward and briefly explained the current situation in a low voice.
