Chapter 889 First Lost His Arm, Then Lost His Hostage
Emperor Hong De looked at Xiao Jingyi who was kneeling there with an anxious look on his face.
"Are you willing to wait?"
"Yes, I am willing to wait!"
Xiao Jingyi nodded quickly.
"You're willing to wait until Hua Yinyin is in her seventies and eighties and buried... Is that you're willing to wait?
You have to warm Hua Yinyin's heart...
Hehe...how do you want to keep warm?
Do you want to hug all your concubines in the house to warm Hua Yinyin's heart?
Or... do you want to bring all the girls in your house to fall in love with Hua Yinyin?"
Xiao Jingyi... was left speechless by Emperor Hongde's question.
"Xiao Jingyi, Xiao Jingyi, I really don't know how you can say that!
Don’t you think...what you said is a disgusting joke?
It was you who knelt before me and said that you had saved Miss Hua Yinyin by accident. It was you who put her in the carriage, and someone else saw you, so I was afraid that it would be seen as a violation of my rights.
And you also fell in love with Hua Yinyin at first sight and wanted to marry her as your concubine;
Hua Yinyin herself is willing, so you kneel down and beg me to grant you a marriage. This is also an explanation to Hua Yinyin.
Now I ask you... Did Hua Yinyin really agree to enter Prince Yi's mansion and be your concubine?
Or... are you lying to me?"
"No, no, I didn't lie. I didn't deceive the emperor. I didn't..."
"shut up!
If it were true what you said, and Hua Yinyin had really agreed to enter your Prince Yi's mansion and become your concubine...
Now that she has entered Prince Yi's Palace as she wished, she should have tried her best to flirt with you and win your favor, just like your other concubines.
Why does she always keep a sharp knife with her and risk her life to protect her innocence?
Her status in Prince Yi's Palace is second only to your principal wife. She should have been enjoying the glory and wealth in your Prince Yi's Palace.
But why has she only spent her own dowry in the past two years, not eating a grain of rice or spending a penny from your Prince Yi's Mansion?
Come and tell me, why is she doing this?"
"Uncle Emperor, this son... this son just..."
Hua Yinyin was really too decisive. At this moment, Xiao Jingyi had nothing to say even if he wanted to defend himself.
"What? You still want to quibble?
Still want to lie to me?
If you keep quibbling, I'll start to doubt... your so-called heroic act of saving the beauty was simply a deliberate and purposeful scheme!"
"Uncle Emperor, that's not the case... I didn't..."
"All right!"
Emperor Hongde interrupted Xiao Jingyi harshly.
"Ultimately, it's all my fault.
I believed you at that time and didn't even ask Hua Yinyin.
I remember that when I asked Lord Hua, I saw that he looked embarrassed.
I just thought that maybe the marriage was an accident, there was no matchmaker or six certificates, and she was not the main wife. Lord Hua was worried about his daughter being wronged by being a concubine, so he did that.
Who knew there were so many inside stories that I didn't know.
Since I was wrong back then, I will correct it today.
Besides, there are so many beautiful girls in your house, are you really missing only Hua Yinyin?
You said that you loved Hua Yinyin and were in love with her, but in the two years since Hua Yinyin entered the mansion, in addition to marrying a concubine, do you remember how many concubines you brought in?
Is this how you show your love for Chonghua Yinyin?
Hua Yinyin risked her life to clear her name. Under such circumstances, if you force her to stay in Prince Yi's mansion, it would be a sin and an intentional act of harming others!
Are you still going to forcibly detain her like this?"
Emperor Hongde has said so much, even saying "forced detention" means "forcible detention". If Xiao Jingyi still wants to force Hua Yinyin to stay, it means he is admitting:
He, Xiao Jingyi, wanted to commit a sin, he wanted to harm people, and he wanted to forcibly detain Hua Yinyin in order to achieve some purpose!
Xiao Jingyi couldn't answer, but he was unwilling to admit his mistake and let the man go, so he lowered his head and stopped talking.
Emperor Hongde ignored all this and directly issued an oral order, "My dear Hua, please listen to my order. I allow you to go to Prince Yi's palace immediately with my order to take back your beloved daughter.
She brought back the dowry that Hua Yinyin had brought into Prince Yi's mansion;
Afterwards, Prince Yi's Mansion was to compensate Hua Yinyin with 20,000 taels of silver, and not a single cent could be in arrears.
From then on, Hua Yinyin returned home to live her life and was free to marry someone else. Everything had nothing to do with Prince Yi's Mansion anymore!
I will also issue an imperial decree to confer upon your daughter the title of Princess Qinghe, and make your daughter's pure and self-disciplined noble character known to the public, thus clearing your daughter's name!
If Qinghe County Lady gets married someday, I will ask the Empress to add some dowry to her!"
Emperor Hongde instructed the official in the palace to draft the imperial edict. After reading it, Emperor Hongde used the imperial seal.
"Your Majesty, I bow to thank you!"
Hua Chongjian knelt on the ground and kowtowed deeply to Emperor Hongde, tears streaming down his face.
As a father, I just hope there is still time to make amends for my daughter.
Xiao Jingyi, who was kneeling there, felt as if a huge stone weighed a thousand pounds on his heart. He was so suffocated that he could hardly breathe. His face turned as pale as paper and sweat poured down like rain.
At this point, he also knew that he could no longer keep Hua Yinyin in his Prince Yi's Mansion.
Love is just a cover, keeping Hua Yinyin as a hostage is the real thing.
By keeping Hua Yinyin, we can control Hua Chongjian, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War.
Hua Yinyin was taken back by Hua Chongjian. How can she control Hua Chongjian?
The Deputy Prime Minister Zhang Jinyan was imprisoned the day before yesterday, and will be tried by the three judicial officials tomorrow. This arm of his hand is useless as it cannot be any more useless!
By letting Hua Yinyin go today, he lost another Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War who could have been under his control.
Is this God's will for me?
