Chapter 475 Domineering Wife Protection
Sweat broke out on Tu Hongjiang's forehead. His father told him that he must not lose his dignity in front of the Queen of the Great Chu Kingdom.
Chu Li has just ascended the throne, so there is no need for him to be submissive in front of her and let the Great Chu control him.
After all, they, the Western Rong, were once able to compete with the Great Chu.
He was so busy teasing Chu Li just now that he never imagined that Jun Ling was actually in the next room observing his every move.
It's unreasonable for this man to protect his woman like this.
He felt terrified only now. "Your Majesty, I really don't know what I said wrong to make you angry. How about I say it again?"
Suddenly, his chest felt like it was about to split apart with pain, he raised his eyes and looked up, only to see Chu Li's foot on his chest, looking down at him.
"Your Majesty, this, this is a misunderstanding..." Tu Hongjiang's face turned red.
Chu Li sneered, "Misunderstanding, I think you are tired of living, and we are so close, just because of these four words of yours, I will take back your right to trade with Xirong, you insulted me with your words, cut off your tongue."
"Ah, no, no, no, Your Majesty, you can't treat me like this. I will inherit the throne in the future!"
Ye Hanting said in a cold voice: "What throne do you have to inherit? Go back and tell someone to tell your father to surrender within ten days. Otherwise, the day when the Great Xia army approaches, your Xirong will be destroyed."
Tu Hongjiang fell into despair. He never thought that his deliberate teasing of Chu Li would make Jun Ling so angry.
The harmony of the qin and se refers to the close relationship between husband and wife. He pretended to be ignorant and said it deliberately.
It's all over now. If my father knew that we lost the trading rights because of these four words, he would definitely beat him up.
They can still barely put up a fight with the Great Chu State, but the Great Xia State is very powerful. If they send troops, the Western Rong will be destroyed within a few days.
He had never thought that a man would be so domineering in protecting his wife, because of four words, he wanted to destroy their Xirong.
After all, in their Xirong, those women are just accessories of men. How could he have imagined that he would cause such a big trouble!
Tu Hongjiang was completely panicked.
If the Great Xia Kingdom were to send troops to destroy the Western Rong because of these four words, my father would definitely kill him with his own hands.
He got up from the ground and kowtowed to Chu Li and Jun Ling.
"Your Majesty, please, spare Xirong. I'll give it to you... You kowtow, I plead guilty, and I'll let Your Majesty deal with me as you wish."
"Your Majesty, I accept the beating and punishment, and I accept it. I am not a human being, I am not a human being!"
Snap Snap Snap......
Tu Hongjiang slapped his face so hard that it made loud slapping sounds, and then kowtowed on the ground until his head was bleeding.
"I was wrong, I was really wrong, I will never do it again!"
When Huangfu Qingran saw the Western Rong envoys coming in from outside the door, he was so frightened that he shuddered all over and hid in the corner again.
Those people had seen Tu Hongjiang abuse her. When Tu Hongjiang was drunk, he even said he would give her to those men.
She found herself suffering from a fear of men.
The Xirong envoys knelt down and begged, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince was outspoken at the moment, please let us Xirong go?"
The envoys from Xirong knelt on the ground.
The Great Chu alone is difficult enough to deal with, and with the addition of the Great Xia, the Western Rong are completely finished.
Chu Li said coldly: "Come here, cut off Tu Hongjiang's tongue and let him go back to Xirong."
"Yes." Kong Wu dragged the man out.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life, spare me..." Tu Hongjiang's voice suddenly stopped, and his tongue was cut off.
Ye Hanting looked coldly at the envoys who had suddenly become extremely frightened, "Do you remember what I just said?"
"Remember!" Several people nodded rapidly, fearing that they would be killed by Jun Ling if they answered later.
Chu Li found Princess Qingran hiding in the corner, trembling all over. She seemed to have a mental illness after being abused by Tu Hongjiang.
Princess Qiongying hugged her daughter with tears in her eyes and looked at Chu Li with pleading eyes.
Chu Li looked at Eunuch Li and said, "Write a divorce letter to Huangfu Qingran and Tu Hongjiang, and let them divorce."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Eunuch Li brought people to ask Tu Hongjiang to sign. Tu Hongjiang was so pale from the pain that he signed his name and pressed his fingerprints.
Wait until the envoys from Xirong take Tuhongjiang away.
Princess Qiongying took the divorce papers and knelt down in front of Chu Li.
"Your Majesty, thank you for saving Qingran. Your aunt will give you a great gift!"
Huangfu Qingran knelt in front of Chu Li, trembling all over, and cried.
Chu Li leaned over to help Huangfu Qingran feel his pulse and said, "Huangfu Qingran's pulse is disordered, as if she has a mental illness. She cannot be stimulated or go to crowded places. You can take her back to the mansion to rest. If she behaves well, I will not make things difficult for you."
Princess Qiongying knelt down and kowtowed to Chu Li again.
"I have already investigated the matter of the Empress Dowager. It was her own fault that she was hit by the Buddha statue. I misunderstood you. Today, Your Majesty helped Qingran to divorce and escape from the sea of suffering. I will be grateful to Your Majesty for the rest of my life."
She pulled the dazed Huangfu Qingran to kneel down again and kowtowed to Chu Li again.
"Your Majesty, my aunt is going to take Qingran to a Taoist temple to practice asceticism and spend the rest of her life there."
Chu Li waved his hand indifferently, "Go ahead, she is free now."
Huangfu Qingran suddenly came to her senses when she heard the word "freedom". Not until she was sure that Tu Hongjiang would never harass her again did she burst into tears.
Princess Qiongying hugged her and said, "It's okay, it's okay. His Majesty has helped you get a divorce. That person will never appear again."
Huangfu Qingran nodded heavily, kowtowed to Chu Li and left.
The next day, Chu Li was enjoying the sun outside when Eunuch Li came to report, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has died..."
Chu Li listened calmly as Eunuch Li continued, "Zhou Wan'er had a miscarriage, and when the Empress Dowager heard about it, she died."
The Empress Dowager held on to her last breath just to wait for Zhou Wan'er to give birth to Emperor Qingyuan's son, but she didn't wait until she died.
The bright sunshine shone on Chu Li's cheeks. She felt relieved that the great threat in the palace was gone.
"Eunuch Li, bury him according to royal etiquette."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
......
Changning Palace.
Mu Xinyue was copying the Ksitigarbha Sutra to bless her family with safety and health when Chu Li's voice came from behind her.
"I just saved my life, why are you working so hard?"
Mu Xinyue's hand paused, she put down the brush and looked at Chu Li.
"Thank you for saving my mother."
Chu Li replied calmly, "Don't think too much. If you died because of saving Xiao Yueyue, I would feel guilty, that's all."
Mu Xinyue's throat tightened. She felt sorry for her daughter.
She suddenly heard Chu Li's stomach growling, so she stood up and said, "I'll make you something to eat."
"No, I'm not hungry." Chu Li had just finished speaking when her stomach growled again and she looked away awkwardly.
Mu Xinyue smiled, "Very quickly, I'll make you some shredded pork noodles."
A quarter of an hour later, the steaming shredded pork noodles were served, and the shredded pork almost filled the entire bowl.
Chu Li used chopsticks to separate the shredded meat, and when she saw the smooth noodles, she picked them up with her chopsticks and took a bite.
Mu Xinyue looked at her puffy cheeks nervously and asked cautiously, "Are you happy?"
