Chapter 228 How to deal with it
At this time, Jingyan had already linked Ziwei's visit, as reported by Si'er, to the cause of Falcon's death.
"Could it be that Ziwei killed the Fu family?"
Yongheng expressed his guess thoughtfully. Jingyan and Qing'er looked at each other and thought, it might be true. At least, the old Buddha should have suspected so, so he summoned Ziwei over.
"I think we should go out of the palace to take a look. The palace is too out of touch with the news."
Hearing Yongheng's words, Jingyan nodded. Her eyelids kept twitching and she always felt that something was going to happen.
Qing'er waved her hand, "No, I'm worried that if something unexpected happens, the old lady will be angry, so I'll be guarding in the palace."
After all, Ziwei has nothing to do with them, but the old lady will definitely be angry if she knows the truth.
Thinking of this, Jing Yan nodded: "Brother, you go out. Father and Uncle Fu Liu must know something. You go ask them. Qing Er and I are the ones who are most important to guard the old Buddha."
The three of them split up.
Fortunately for the old lady, Eunuch Pu only reported that Ziwei had indeed gone out and explained the reply from Liu Qing and Liu Hong.
"Now it seems almost certain. I must inform the emperor. This matter cannot be easily covered up."
"Your Majesty, it shouldn't be necessary. When I returned, I ran into the Emperor's men investigating this matter, so we went together to report to the Emperor. I think the Emperor has made up his mind by now."
Hearing this, the Empress Dowager nodded. She didn't expect that the emperor was so perceptive and thought of this level. The Empress Dowager felt relieved.
It’s just that the emperor has always been lenient towards Xia Yuhe’s daughter, but this time Ziwei made a mistake and must be punished. If it is not corrected, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Then I will wait and see what the emperor plans to do."
Qing'er and Jingyan followed the old lady and listened to her reply, feeling a little sad. They had seen how loving Ziwei and Fu Erkang were in the past, but now, without their knowledge, they had gotten to the point where they hated each other and wanted to kill each other.
It really makes one sigh at how unpredictable things in the world are.
想到曾经为了紫薇,还有尔康那句莫须有的'默契',福尔康还气哭了晴儿被揍了一顿,那时候他们是那样相爱啊。
Sure enough, people change.
Thinking of this, Jingyan secretly looked at Qing'er. Fortunately, Qing'er was her future sister-in-law.
After Eunuch Pu left, the old Buddha looked at the two of them helplessly, "You two girls, you insisted on listening to me. Now that you've heard it, what do you think?"
Jing Yan chuckled: "Old Buddha, we actually guessed a little bit about the situation. When we saw Pu Gonggong replying, we were really worried that you would be angry."
"Yes, Ziwei and Falcon have nothing to do with us after all, but we are still worried about you."
Seeing the concern in their eyes, the Empress Dowager smiled with relief: "I am angry, really angry. I didn't expect that child to be so cruel. But in the end, it is also because I and the Emperor did not teach her well. Now that she has made such a big mistake, I just hope that the Emperor will stop covering for her."
"Old Buddha, Qing'er doesn't think that's right. Ziwei has only been recognized for a short time. She and Fu Erkang have been friends outside the palace for a long time. You can't be blamed in any way. Please don't blame yourself."
"Yes, they have brought this upon themselves. If Falcon hadn't been so audacious as to assassinate the Emperor, the two of them wouldn't have ended up like this."
After all, it was Falcon's own choice. No one forced him to assassinate the emperor, even if it was a fake assassination. The emperor is the emperor. How could he be allowed to joke about it?
"Yes, Falcon deserves to die, but Ziwei did something wrong after all. Well, I don't care. The emperor will never let you go easily."
Jingyan also knew that the Empress Dowager had no intention of asking Ziwei to pay with her life. He felt a little sad, but also took it for granted. After all, in the eyes of the royal family, no matter how much they disliked Ziwei, her life was more important than that of the Falcon family.
But Jingyan always felt that things were not that simple.
"Old Buddha, now that the Emperor knows about this matter, he will not let it go. You can rest assured."
The moment Ziwei returned to Shufangzhai and didn't see Jinsuo, she knew it was over.
But Ziwei did not panic. After all, she had only killed three criminals, who were not even as good as ordinary people. As a princess, did she need to pay with her life?
Besides, she was forced to do so. After the emperor knew about it, he might feel sorry for her and compensate her.
Thinking of this, Ziwei was no longer nervous and began to look forward to the emperor summoning her.
That's why when Xiaoluzi went to summon Ziwei, Ziwei looked a little excited.
Xiao Luzi was a little scared. He had just heard what had happened. The princess in front of him could still laugh. She really had a strong mental strength.
Of course Ziwei could laugh, after all, she didn't know what was going to happen, nor did she know the gift that Falcon left for her before his death.
"Ziwei pays homage to the Emperor."
Seeing Ziwei's slightly excited look, the emperor became furious and slammed the table.
"You've really become quite capable recently, doing such a good deed without telling me!"
"Father Emperor, Ziwei doesn't understand." Ziwei wanted to struggle.
"Did you start the fire at the Fu family?"
Seeing that the emperor was really here for this matter, Ziwei felt a little aggrieved: "Father, I am forced to do this. Erkang threatened me with my innocence, and I really had no choice."
"You!" Seeing Ziwei acting so righteously and even a little aggrieved, the emperor was so angry that he couldn't speak.
At this moment, he was extremely grateful that he had not announced Ziwei's existence to the world, otherwise he would have been disgraced again.
The emperor took a deep breath and said, "You are truly extremely stupid and vicious! I will no longer care about you. From now on, you will be confined to Shufangzhai! You are not allowed to come out for the rest of your life!"
The emperor pinched his throbbing temples. He was sure that if he looked at Ziwei again, he would not be able to help but chop her to pieces!
Ziwei hadn't expected the emperor to be so angry. "Is this just for my own reputation, for the royal family's prestige? Am I really going to let him force me?"
The emperor took a few deep breaths, then looked at Ziwei, gritting his teeth. "Then why don't you do it in a more dignified way? Now the whole city knows about my daughter! You! Now that you've become a princess, you look down on your ex-lover and even kill him. Is this how you deal with it? You've caused a huge uproar in the city. Are you afraid that others won't know about your affair?"
