Mr. Liu nodded, but he couldn't bear it, and finally advised him, "If you lose money, you can avoid disaster, and look after the younger generation in the family from now on..."
The Duke of Guo sighed, turned around and walked away.
After a long time, everyone knew that the prince of the country had been arrested and sent to Jingzhao Yin Prison.
Others just saw it as a joke and fun, but the relatives and friends of the Duke's Mansion came to ask questions.
Regardless of whether you can help or not, at this time, just showing up is a help in times of need, and everyone will appreciate it.
The Duke's wife's eyes were swollen from crying. She didn't drink a sip of water or eat a sip of food.
After finally looking forward to the return of the Duke, everyone naturally wanted to ask a few questions.
The Duke simply replied: "It's not a big deal. There is a case that requires the Crown Prince to cooperate with the investigation. We can send the Crown Prince back tomorrow."
This statement sounded really far-fetched.
He was the eldest son of the Duke of Guo. If he hadn't committed a serious crime, would Jing Zhaoyin's officials dare to tie him up in the street and send him to prison?
But the Duke said so, and no one can question it.
Are you expecting their children to commit serious crimes?
After sitting for a while, everyone hurriedly left.
After the house calmed down, the Duke dismissed all the servants and discussed with his old wife.
After hearing the whole story, the old wife also regretted, "I was the one who harmed my son. If I had detained him at home, wouldn't such a thing have happened?"
"It's too late to say anything now. Let's prepare money quickly. As long as that person Once you calm down, your son will be fine."
The Duke of Guo sighed, "Fetch your son out this time, and I will teach him from now on. You must not interfere again! This time, I went to the Liu family with all my face, and then I understood the whole story. , and next time, I will have no choice but to watch him die in prison."
The Duke's wife quickly nodded, "Okay, okay, I will definitely not interfere." The
old couple got together and took away the family assets, feeling pain in their hearts. While organizing.
The next day was the small court meeting. As soon as the emperor returned to the imperial study, he heard that Duke Zhenguo asked for an audience. He smiled and nodded.
Soon, Manager Yi led the Duke of Zhen in.
The Duke of Zhenguo is not stupid, and he never mentions his son.
He just knelt down, kowtowed respectfully, and directly offered a hundred thousand taels of silver notes, talking about sharing the worries of the emperor and the country.
Sure enough, the emperor helped him up with his own hands and did not hesitate to praise him.
Even if the Duke of Zhen Guo knew it was fake, he couldn't help but be excited.
This is the emperor, with golden words!
He kowtowed excitedly to show his loyalty again, and finally stood up and sat down, daring to straighten his back a little.
The emperor was in a good mood and started chatting with him, "How is the Duke's health lately?"
"Thanks to the Emperor, I am still in good health." The Duke hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "My child is unconscious. His heart often makes me angry, so I plan to teach him well for two years behind closed doors."
The emperor nodded and agreed, "This is a business matter, children must be beaten often and taught with heart, so that they can become talents."
At the end, he seemed to suddenly Thinking of something else, he asked: "I heard that the prince is interested in the girl from Jiangning Houfu?"
The Duke of Zhen was trembling in his heart. He didn't know why the emperor asked so, so he cautiously replied: "The thoughts of a young man are just a few stupid words occasionally... ..."
"No, what the Duke said is wrong. It makes sense to start a family and build a career first. After a man marries a wife, he will stop having fun!" The emperor smiled and said: "Today, the Duke is sharing my worries. I am also worried about the Duke. Go back and wait for the decree!"
The Duke of Zhen Guo vaguely guessed something, but thought it was impossible.
Although he is the Duke of the country, he understands the situation of his family very well, but it is just an appearance and has no real power. And the Jiangning Hou Mansion is the Queen's maternal clan!
The girl my son likes is the queen's cousin!
I even heard that this girl was prepared for Marquis Xinting!
Therefore, no matter how much trouble his son made at home, he always stopped his wife from asking about the Wu family...
could it be that his son's dream would come true now? !
Maybe if his son's wish comes true, he will really calm down, live a good life, and stop playing games...
Zhen Guo Gong's mind is in chaos, and he doesn't know how to get out of the palace.
Outside the palace gate, many people saw his expression and thought that the prince was definitely dead.
Then, on the morning of the next day, the prince, who was in ragged clothes and with a black face, was sent back to the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion.
Although his miserable appearance made the Duke and Madam burst into tears, luckily his arms and legs were still intact.
The Duke's wife didn't mind being dirty, so she hugged her son without letting go, "Son, you are worrying me to death! Don't get into trouble again, let's study hard at home!"
The prince was almost strangled by his mother. After losing his breath, he finally struggled away and said, "Mother, I'm hungry! I want to eat meat, I want to eat fish, I want to eat roast chicken, I want everything!"
"Hey, hey!" The Duke The lady finally came to her senses, and immediately asked people to prepare food, and arranged for people to help her son bathe, change clothes, and comb his hair.
After everything was done, the prince sat in front of the table again. He didn't even use the chopsticks, just grabbed an elbow and gnawed it open.
For the first time in his life, he went to prison and finally saw what purgatory on earth was like.
The rotten and moldy underground cell was filled with rats and cockroaches. The cold wind blew, and people screamed or cried from time to time, all night long.
For two whole days and two nights, he only had a bowl of gruel, which was snatched away by his fellow cellmates.
His clothes and pants were also stripped off, and he was kicked around like a ball.
He couldn't beat him even if he wanted to, and he was beaten even worse when he brought up the title of Zhenguo Gongfu.
Just when he thought he was going to die there, he was finally taken out...
Seeing his son like this, the Duke of Zhen was also heartbroken, but he still hardened his heart and said: "I have learned a lesson this time. From now on, I will stay at home honestly and dare not go out wandering around again." , I will break your legs!"
The prince was already scared, but he still said stubbornly, "If you marry Miss Bilian back home, I will never go out again."
"Huh, you said that. Yes, remember, you must keep your promise." The Duke said with a strange expression.
But the prince's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Father, can you let me marry Miss Bilian back? She is Miss Bilian from the second room of Jiangning Marquis Mansion, the legitimate daughter, not someone else!"
The Duke of Guo did not dare to say anything. He said vaguely: "As long as you are obedient, let's give it a try."
The prince wanted to ask more, but the housekeeper had already rushed over and shouted: "My lord, someone from the palace has announced a decree."
Everyone quickly got busy and soon arrived in front of the house . In the courtyard, the incense table was set up to receive the edict...
After the eunuch who announced the edict was sent away, the prince held the edict in his hand, and he still couldn't believe it, "Father, mother, I want to marry Miss Bilian?!"
The Duke of Guo also felt sad in his heart. He took a breath, but still gave his son a hard look.
The Duke's wife was happy for her son, "Yes, you are getting married!"
The prince jumped three feet high with joy, "I am getting married, I am going to marry Miss Bilian!"
