Chapter 428 Is This God’s Punishment?
In the end, Pei Yuanqi never thought that just wanting to calm Gu Ziyan down would cause such a big incident, causing every colleague at the scene to look at him with strange eyes.
In the end, the emperor directly issued an imperial decree of divorce, which included returning all of Gu Ziyan's dowry.
There was an imperial seal on the lid, but no name was written on it. The imperial edict was directly given to the Prince Rui's Palace.
He also told Prince Rui that as long as Gu Zizhan filled in their names, the divorce would be final.
You can just take the imperial edict to handle the divorce documents.
Prince Rui thought that the divorce would take a long time to succeed, but he didn't expect it to be accomplished so easily.
Pei Yuanqi still doesn't feel that he has done anything excessive, and how he ended up like this.
They even forgot to ask His Majesty to revoke the imperial edict.
After morning.
Duke Pei planned to stop Prince Rui and have a good talk with him. After all, the name had not been written on the imperial edict yet, so there was still room for change.
Duke Pei pulled Pei Yuanqi and stopped Prince Rui: "Your Highness, wait a minute, calm down."
Although Prince Rui has no real power, he is still a member of the royal family, so he still has to be shown superficial respect.
King Rui looked at Duke Pei and Pei Yuanqi who were standing in front.
He said with an unhappy look on his face: "No, I can't marry a Duke. Don't you think that concubine is good? It's just right that our Zi Yan has given up her position, so you can make that concubine your wife!"
Duke Pei was very angry at King Rui's aggressive attitude, but they were the unreasonable ones now, so in order to keep the peace, they just watched people passing by looking at them curiously.
They can only shamelessly ask for forgiveness.
After all, he has the imperial edict in his hand.
Duke Pei could only force a smile and said, "Your Highness, you are joking. How can that concubine be compared with Zi Yan! It is true that our Yuan Qi did something wrong. You can beat or scold him if you want, but it is normal for a young couple to quarrel. However, Yuan Qi was careless and didn't even know that Zi Yan was sick. It was indeed his fault. Don't worry, as long as Zi Yan comes back, Yuan Qi will definitely treat her well. Not to mention anything else, just for Mo Yan's sake, it is better for the two of them to live a good life."
Prince Rui took a look at Duke Pei's sincere apology, but he didn't know how much truth there was in it.
He glanced at the imperial edict in his hand, then looked at Pei Yuanqi, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
"No, your family is beyond our reach."
Pei Yuanqi said: "Father-in-law, I really know I was wrong, please give me another chance!"
Before the morning court today, Pei Yuanqi thought that the matter would be alright as long as he said a few nice words beforehand.
As a result, he was criticized for this, which was a bolt from the blue for him.
He had little academic knowledge to begin with, and it took him ten years to climb to these two levels!
As a result, it dropped back down immediately.
Forget about trying to coax Gu Ziyan in my heart. Instead, I blamed her for being too petty.
It's just a small matter, is it necessary to get divorced?
They had a pretty good relationship at the beginning, how did it end up like this?
But now looking at the imperial edict in Prince Rui's hand.
And there was the father's humble apology.
He finally thought it through.
He and Gu Ziyan are not on good terms, so it may be difficult for him to get his official position back.
So the most important thing now is to coax Gu Ziyan back home first.
After all, he has been demoted two levels to the fifth rank. With this position, even if he wants to marry someone else, let alone marry a princess.
With his current reputation, I’m afraid he can’t even marry a woman below the rank of a third-rank official.
Prince Rui didn't take Pei Yuanqi seriously at all and just rolled his eyes.
It was this bastard who made his Zi Yan feel so wronged.
He ignored him and just walked away.
Pei Yuanqi looked at King Rui and ignored him.
Then he looked at his father next to him and asked, "What should I do?"
"When you go back, quickly pick some good nutritional supplements and send them to the Rui Palace to ask for her forgiveness. Women are soft-hearted. You still have a child. Just say a few more nice words and that'll be enough."
"Yes, the child listens to his father."
Duke Pei was also angry: "Don't listen to your mother's instigation in the future. She is short-sighted."
"it is good."
King Rui left angrily.
When Zheng Jinshu was leaving the court, he saw Prince Rui being stopped by Duke Pei, so he walked slowly in front.
I was paying attention to the situation behind and saw King Rui coming.
So he greeted politely: "Hello, uncle."
When Prince Rui saw that it was Zheng Jinshu, he immediately suppressed his unhappiness on his face.
"My dear nephew!" Because Zheng Jinshu and Zizhan have had a very good relationship since childhood, Prince Rui always calls Zheng Jinshu his dear nephew.
But now he is truly a talented person, think about the past.
Ugh!
There was no way to bring it up, he didn't understand how Zizhan, with his dull personality, could have such a good relationship with him.
"Well, uncle, do you go to the government office after court?" Zheng Jinshu asked.
In this era, all working positions were called yamen, there were just different yamen.
"Oh, I'm not going today." Then he glanced at the imperial edict in his hand and continued, "Come back first and let Zi Yan see the imperial edict."
Zheng Jinshu smiled and said, "Oh, good, is Sister Ziyan feeling better now?"
"today is much better."
"Uncle, I don't have a carriage today. You have to pass by the Dali Temple on your way home. Could you take me with you for a while?" Zheng Jinshu said politely.
King Rui replied without hesitation: "Okay."
The two chatted along the way.
Although the journey was not long, it still took nearly half an hour.
Unexpectedly, the more we talked, the more I realized that this nephew has made a lot of progress over the years.
Not bad.
Get off at the end.
The two were still not satisfied and agreed to talk again another day.
Zheng Jinshu watched the carriage leaving Prince Rui's Palace.
A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Then a carriage slowly drove up from behind.
"Master, why don't you take a carriage?"
Zheng Jinshu's face darkened: "Can you be more discerning? Didn't I ask you to go back by yourself?"
Fortunately, he was tall and blocked King Rui's sight in time, otherwise it would have been so embarrassing!
"Oh," the servant didn't know what the young master meant.
But he was too embarrassed to ask.
What happened in the morning.
Shen Xia found out when she had dinner that night.
Because Song Ming told Shen Xia when he came back.
Song Ming knew that Gu Ziyan was Shen Xia’s good friend, and Shen Xia would definitely listen to matters concerning friends.
Shen Xia was particularly happy for Gu Ziyan when she knew that she had an imperial decree of divorce without her name on it. Now she had the initiative.
This kind of scumbag should have been thrown away long ago.
Because Song Yun had to take an exam and was also injured, Shen Xia had to change the medicine every day, so she didn't plan to leave the house.
I will go to look after my sister after Song Yun passes the palace examination.
As a result, the next day, Qianyu suddenly said to Shen Xia: "Sister, didn't you make a wish at the City Emperor Temple last time to let the Fourth Young Master pass the imperial examination? Now that he has passed, you must go and fulfill your wish!"
Shen Xia then remembered: "Yes!" and suddenly remembered that Song Yun was injured.
Is it a punishment from God?
