Both worlds are like dreams

Chapter 395 Confinement

Emperor Ling felt a headache from the noise. He pinched his brows and looked at Xue Huang. He found that the chaos in the court these times was actually related to her.

Xue Huang also noticed Ling Huang's gaze and showed a helpless expression at the noisy sounds in her ears.

Emperor Ling's breathing was unstable and it was difficult for him to call for a stop.

Xue Huang could only kneel on the ground, her clear voice piercing through the noisy court, "Your Majesty!"

The voices of the crowd gradually calmed down, and they all looked towards Xue Huang.

"Do you have anything else to say?" asked Emperor Ling.

"Xue Huang pleads guilty and is willing to take full responsibility for all charges. However, if you say that the Crown Prince and others are suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, Xue Huang feels that those who say this are clearly making things up and speaking nonsense."

"Princess Changle, this is the court of Beiling, how can you speak nonsense here?" Shen Congfeng said with a cold face.

"Nonsense?" Xue Huang raised her eyebrows. "I think my words are even more outrageous than General Shen's! Since you said that what I did before the wedding doesn't count, then what have I done after the wedding that would harm the Beiling court?"

Mo Ruilin continued, "After the wedding, Princess Changle escorted me back to the city from the border. If she wanted to harm my dynasty, why would she risk her life to escort me?"

"Princess Changle never had the intention of harming the Beiling court from beginning to end. Even after knowing her identity, she still risked her life to protect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How could she have the intention of treason?" Gu Qinglan said.

At this time, Mo Yunchen also spoke up, "Your Majesty, I can testify that the princess has risked her life many times to protect the prince. She has no intention of harming anyone, so how can she be charged with treason?"

Shen Congfeng's face looked very ugly. Mo Yunchen had remained silent since he came in, as if it had nothing to do with him. But when he spoke this time, it was clear that he had decided not to be his enemy.

"Although there is no intention of rebellion, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Gu are so close to the princess, this charge of negligence cannot be brushed aside. The prince and the princess have been married for so long, it is possible that they leaked military intelligence. Will the prince admit this crime of negligence?"

"I'd like to leave it to your majesty to decide." Mo Yunchen said calmly.

"Your Majesty, please punish Xue Huang alone." Xue Huang said.

"The crime of negligence is not something that Princess Changle can bear alone."

"Then according to General Shen, how should the crime be punished?"

"I dare not make any comment. Your Majesty, please make the decision!"

Emperor Ling was silent for a moment. "Crown Prince and Gu Qing, confine yourselves to their homes for three months! Wei Xuehuang, strip the title of Princess Bei Ling and confine her to Changqing Palace."

"Your Majesty, how can you easily forgive the crime of deceiving the king?" Shen Congfeng said.

Jingguo said openly, "Even if Princess Changle concealed her identity, she is still the eldest princess of Dongchu. Does General Shen still want to punish Dongchu?"

Shen Congfeng frowned and said, "Princess Dongchu cannot be held responsible, but since Your Majesty has stripped Princess Beiling of her title, should the death-free gold medal in the princess's hand be returned to Your Majesty?"

"His Majesty has said that he will allow me to inherit the family line. Does General Shen want His Majesty to break his promise?"

"You are no longer Princess Beiling, and you are not qualified to stay."

Emperor Ling said, "My words are golden and I cannot go back on them."

"His Majesty……"

"Cough, cough, cough, cough..." Emperor Ling interrupted him with a series of heart-wrenching coughs, "How can an imperial decree be taken back? Mo Qing, since you are also guilty of negligence, I order you to return to the northern border to guard it soon."

"I obey your order!" Mo Yunchen swept his cold eyes over Shen Congfeng.

Emperor Ling looked at Xue Huang, "Do you have anything else to say?"

"Xue Huang is willing to be imprisoned in Changqing Palace."

"You are the eldest princess of Dongchu. I will not kill you, but only imprison you. I will not treat you unfairly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
