Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Chapter 469: Requesting for Resignation

The fact that Doctor You was captured so easily suggests that he was unaware of the problem with his prescription.

But he committed suicide on the way to the palace, which showed that he knew the reason for the problem with his prescription.

And for this reason, it is possible that the lives of relatives and others would be lost, so after weighing the pros and cons, he could only pay with his own life.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the situation.

Emperor Chongzhao had to admit that he had suffered a loss.

Looking at the setting sun, Emperor Chongzhao put his hands behind his back and walked slowly towards Yinyu Palace. Jingquan followed him silently.

"Tell me what's new outside." Emperor Chongzhao said lazily.

Jing Quan thought for a moment and said, "I have only been in charge of the Palace Province for a short time, so there are some things I am not particularly clear about.

“Just now I heard someone mention that at Jia Jing’s funeral, only one person from the Wang family, the Princess of Wuling, came to pay respects. She lit a stick of incense and left.

"It is said that Lord Wang Zifu has injured his leg, and Miss Wang Er has caught a cold. With two patients at home, she really can't leave.

"The entire Shi family has left the capital for their new posts. Now there is only one girl left in the capital, living in Rong Mansion.

"The Xue family is on their way back to Beijing, but they haven't received any news of Jia Jing's death, so considering the distance, it's probably going to take another two or three days.

“The funeral has only been going on for seven days, I don’t think the Xue family will be able to catch up.

"In Rongfu, Jia She's in-laws, the Xing family, are in the south; Jia Lian's in-laws, the Xie family, were also demoted and returned to their ancestral home. Neither family has anyone in the capital.

"Now, apart from the Jia family's own clan members and so-called in-laws, the only one who is here is Doctor You.

“But he committed suicide.

"It is said that when Jia Zhen saw Chen Duo, his legs went weak and he knelt down..."

Emperor Chongzhao frowned: "Why are you talking about Doctor You again?!"

Jing Quan paused, trying to recall for a while, and said: "I heard that when the Xue family went back to attend the funeral, Xue Wang had a big fight with the clan members, and only then did they save the marriages of the four children from being forced by the clan members.

"It is said that the Imperial Concubine has said that she will make the decision on the marriage between Xue Pan from the eldest house and the eldest daughter of the Xue family, and will ask the Emperor to grant the marriage.

“I heard that the daughter of the second branch of the Xue family was betrothed to Wang Li, the second son of Wang Ziteng, who is currently studying in Jiangnan.

"As for the second wife's son, Wang Xue almost fought with her clan for his life, and finally they reluctantly agreed to take him to Beijing to take the exam. After he passes the exam, it won't be too late to discuss marriage."

When Emperor Chongzhao heard this, he sneered: "After all, it was Prince Fu who got the wealth of the second branch of the Xue family!"

Jing Quan lowered his head and said nothing.

"But it doesn't matter. The Imperial Concubine's meeting has been ruined." Emperor Chongzhao walked into the Yinyu Palace with a smile on his face.

Wang Xifeng was very active today and she served three white dishes in fermented wine, duck with bird's nest and eight treasures, fish with chrysanthemums, yam with honey sauce, jade tofu soup, and a large bowl of vegetarian noodles for dinner.

Emperor Chongzhao was stunned. "Shouldn't this dish be sent to Penglai Palace? Why do I think it suits the taste of the empress and her son more?"

Wang Xifeng blinked and looked at him: "Actually, these dishes today are all my favorites.

"Of course, your majesty is right, this is also the menu for tonight's dinner in Penglai Palace.

"I think the Queen and Prince Duan should also like to eat it."

Emperor Chongzhao glanced at Jingquan with a puzzled look.

Jing Quan was also stunned.

Jing Li beside him smiled, took a half step forward, and gently explained to Emperor Chongzhao: "Your Majesty, today is the second day of September."

Emperor Chongzhao cried out, and looked at Wang Xifeng in annoyance, "I had thought of this, but I forgot about it because of what happened today.

"I specially asked Changying to prepare a gift for you the other day, but I forgot to bring it back."

He immediately turned around and scolded, "You are doing your job really well! You can even forget such a big thing! What use do I have for you?"

But no one told me!

Jing Quan lowered his head silently.

"Still standing there like an idiot! Why don't you go find Chang Ying and Chen Duo and find out where the things are, and then bring them to our Imperial Concubine?!

"If you're any later, your master won't be able to sit here and eat!"

Emperor Chongzhao was so angry that he kicked him.

Jing Quan bowed and said yes quickly, then turned around and disappeared like the wind.

Wang Xifeng covered her mouth with a handkerchief, laughing so hard that her body shook. She blushed and stood up to thank him: "I really don't deserve your majesty to remember my little birthday so much!"

"Well deserved, well deserved!" Emperor Chongzhao laughed, stood up and helped her sit down personally, and then he kept praising the good combination of dishes, saying that they must be delicious, and so on.

Wang Xifeng sat down and the two of them had their meal.

After Emperor Chongzhao finished eating, he was amazed: "I thought it would be greasy seeing the fish, duck and sweet food, but it turned out to be very refreshing and filling!"

Wang Xifeng smiled and said nothing.

The two of them moved to the inner room and sat down to talk.

Emperor Chongzhao started talking about this and that, pointing at Jin Ercai and asking why the birds stopped talking. He then looked around for Wu Jin, saying that he didn't even eat in Yinyu Palace.

There was really nothing to say, so she casually told Wang Xifeng what Jingquan had said on the way, especially when he mentioned the Xue family, so she smiled and said:

"I guess your aunt will ask for an audience with you when she arrives in Beijing."

Wang Xifeng opened her mouth in surprise and couldn't help laughing: "I really didn't know that my aunt had such courage!"

After a pause, he sighed softly, "I think when she returns to the capital and sees my father's broken leg and the Jia family loses Master Jing, she won't know the whole story. I'm afraid she will be sad."

Emperor Chongzhao was silent for a moment, then slowly asked, "Do you really not know the truth?"

Wang Xifeng's face changed, and she quickly stood up, knelt on one knee, and said with her head down: "I dare not speak nonsense outside!"

"My beloved concubine, please stand up." Emperor Chongzhao reached out his hand again and personally pulled her up. After a moment of contemplation, he took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to her:

"This is Jia Zhen's memorial. Take a look."

Wang Xifeng was startled and quickly declined.

But Emperor Chongzhao stuffed it into his hand and said, "It's just a few lines. It's okay. Take a look."

Wang Xifeng had no choice but to slowly unfold the memorial and saw that it read:

"Your Majesty, the Third Class General Jia Zhen kneels to report the death.

My father, Jia Jing, a former Jinshi, died on a certain day of a certain month of a certain year after taking the golden elixir. He was fifty-seven years old. I am deeply saddened by the loss of my father, and I am writing this memorial to pray for your approval.

My father entered the officialdom in his infancy and was not used to the world, so he practiced Taoism and lived outside the mundane world. He was so naive that he became willful.

However, my father always remembered the emperor's great grace when he was alive, but he was in a remote place and was out of touch with the world, so he became pedantic and stubborn, and was influenced by others, causing serious mistakes and unforgivable crimes.

My father had a will before he died. He felt ashamed for having disgraced his ancestors and failed the emperor's grace. He and his descendants were no longer worthy of enjoying the imperial title.

I am willing to give up my title, demote my post and become a commoner, return to my hometown to observe mourning for my father and study. I earnestly ask the emperor to grant my permission.

I am deeply saddened and hereby submit this memorial, humbly requesting the Emperor's consideration.

I would like to play. "

This is, resignation? !

Wang Xifeng was stunned for a moment before she looked at Emperor Chongzhao with a strange expression: "This is quite decisive...

"If this is what he meant, then Doctor You's death seems to have nothing to do with him?"

Emperor Chongzhao remained silent.
