Chapter 316

These past two months were neither long nor short, but after a period of careful recuperation, Madam Xiao looked several years younger, and her face was full of vitality. Just standing like this, her whole body was full of dignified air.

Duan Wangye stared at Madam Xiao who was only three steps away from him, with his eyes slightly in dazed as if seeing the young Madam Xiao.

Madam Xiao said indifferently, “There is no misunderstanding between you and me.”

Only then did Duan Wangye come back to his sense, he took a deep breath, and softly said, “Wangfei, let it pass, why bother make trouble in front of the imperial court!”

Li Qin Wangye and Wang Fei were constantly nodding at the back, thinking that if this continue, they would lose all the face of the clan.

Duan Wangye continued, “If you are really dissatisfied with the heir, this wangye will properly discipline the heir in the future.”

“How about this, when we return to the western border, this wangye will have the heir and his consort live separately from us, is that good?”

“Wangfei, this is just a little misunderstanding. You and I have been married for many years. Why should we divorce for some misunderstanding?”

Duan Wangye persuaded and insisted, he had gone to Xiao’s mansion several times before, but was turned away by the gatekeeper so now that he had a chance to talk with Madam Xiao, he said it all at once.

With the thought that since he had already taken a step back by not hesitating on living separate house with the heir, so it should be all right.

Madam Xiao’s poised and graceful face looked calm as she looked at Duan Wangye as if she were looking at a stranger, she didn’t even raise her eyebrows and said, “I have been married for many years with you, you should also know my temper.”

Duan Wangye: “….”

Duan Wangye’s heart suddenly went cold, he did not know how else to persuade Madam Xiao, but could only look at Gu Zezhi, trying to get him to persuade her a few words.

However, Gu Zezhi all this time, was not looking at Duan Wangye at all, his eyes that were as deep as a pool were sizing Qin Jiu’s face up, and after confirming that there were no scars on her face, only did his his expression eased a little.

Qin Jiu probably guessed what Gu Zezhi had heard and winked at him.

Meaning, rest assured, she was never one to wait for someone to hit her!

Only did Gu Zezhi’s brows relax, and his expression returned to the usually calm and gentle appearance.

Madam Xiao once again looked at the emperor and said aloud. “The heir of Duan Wangye intended to murder his mother consort, so requesting the emperor to deal with this impartially and give justice to this wife!”

The Jinluan Hall was not a place for children’s play, so even Duan Wangye could not repeatedly interrupt the emperor’s trial.

The emperor said solemnly: “If the heir really has the heart of poisoning his mother consort, I will definitely return justice to wangfei.”

“Somebody, bring the monk up!”

At the emperor’s command, two Royal Guards escorted a monk in his forties to come. The monk in the red cassock had blue eyes and a long nose, a beard, and a hundred and eight beads of Buddha hanging around his neck. Looking at his pale and sunken face, he looked panic-stricken.

As soon as he reached the center of the Jinluan Hall, he stumbled down on his knees and saluted the emperor in an awkward Central Plains language: “This humble monk, greets his emperor, his majesty of Daqi.”

The emperor looked down at the monk and asked, “Monk, did you give this Jiuhe incense to Duan Wang Fei?”

As he spoke, Yuan Minggang opened a wooden box, inside was the Jiuhe incense that the princess gave to Qin Jiu. Opening the box, the orchid and plum blossoms fragrance wafted out.
