The Sickly Scion’s Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

Chapter 458: The Drum Sounds, and the Injustice Is Out

A flash of panic flashed in An Xiu'er's eyes, but Song Jingchen still caught it.

"Smelly, take a bath, Xiu'er wants to take a bath..." She murmured and walked out.

Shen Yijia narrowed her eyes and ordered, "Mo Yuan, take her to take a bath."

After half an hour, Mo Yuan, who had always been expressionless, returned with a strange expression.

Shen Yijia asked, "What's the matter? What about An Xiu'er?"

"She fell asleep, and the servant placed her next door to the servant's house." After Mo Yuan finished speaking, she glanced at Song Jingchen, pursed her lips, and said politely, "The servant saw that something was wrong with her, so she took her pulse and found her She should have been pregnant before, but she had frequent miscarriages due to sexual intercourse..."

What she didn't say was that An Xiu'er might not be able to conceive in her life.

ho! Shen Yijia took a deep breath, is Shangguanpu not a human being? Don't spare your own children.

Song Jingchen also frowned, and after a while he said, "Forget it, let's send her away tomorrow."

Shen Yijia always felt that there was something wrong with this sentence. Wasn't that what she planned at the beginning?

"Did you go to Prince Rui's mansion today?" Song Jingchen asked suddenly.

Shen Yijia blinked: "How do you know?"

Song Jingchen then told what happened in the palace today, but said helplessly, "Don't be reckless next time, in case..."

Shen Yijia felt a little guilty, and hurriedly said, "I know I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again."

If you do bad things in the future, be careful not to let the beauties know about it!

At the same time, someone was sitting in the study room of the mansion.

The man sat in front of the book desk and drew a painting. After listening to the report of the gray-clothed guard, he didn't lift his head: "You can't kill a woman, what do I want you for?"

The gray-clothed guard's back froze, trying to suppress the fear in his heart and explained: "Because of what happened last night, there are patrolling guards all over the city, and my subordinates are afraid of stunned snakes, so they don't dare to act rashly... I finally found an opportunity... I don't want Song Shen shi suddenly appeared and took people away..."

He has many ways to kill people without knowing it, but that crazy woman keeps going to places where there are many people, and if she dies suddenly, it will definitely attract the attention of others.

The action in the man's hand paused: "Who are you talking about?"

"Song Jingchen's wife, Mrs. Shen."

The man's cold eyes narrowed slightly: "You better pray that she is really crazy, otherwise, you won't be sorry to die."

...

Shen Yijia didn't know that she accidentally saved An Xiu'er's life. After dinner, she followed Song Jingchen to Xuanyuance's residence.

Xuanyuance didn't seem surprised at all about the arrival of the two of them. Before Song Jingchen could speak, he asked, "Are we going to start?"

"Yes." Song Jingchen nodded and said, "Not to mention the emperor, even those ministers who were held by Shangguanpu might not be able to sit still..."

Song Jingchen paused in the middle of the conversation, and continued: "I can't wait for Shangguanpu to be executed before turning this case over?"

If he really waited until that time, someone would definitely say that he forged evidence to whitewash their Song family. Anyway, dead people can't speak.

There is not much time left for him, so today he will disregard the risk of being suspected of his true purpose by the emperor, and use the remnants of the former court as an excuse to interrogate the old man in the East Palace.

As Song Jingchen said, in the morning of the next day, the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which had been quiet for a few days, became lively again.

Many officials have mentioned King Jing's conspiracy, which is nothing more than saying that Shangguanpu is disrespectful and should be executed as an example to You Yunyun.

Seeing these eloquent and righteous ministers in front of them, Song Jingchen only found it funny.

It has been three days since Shangguanpu was imprisoned in the big prison. These people are only now saying that they are sure that they have not been confessed by Shangguanpu, and they feel that he will be in more danger if he lives another day.

If it weren't for this, who would dare to stand up easily when it comes to the life and death of a prince, and say nothing else, in case the emperor thinks of this son one day later and regrets it, would he be the first to attack them?

If Song Jingchen guessed correctly, in order to get back the evidence in Shangguanpu's hands, King Jing's mansion would have been almost dug three feet into the ground by these people in the past few days.

When the ministers played one by one, the emperor, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sat on the dragon chair, not knowing what he was thinking, and never said a word.

"King Jing is so disrespectful that he dares to kill the king and seize the throne. If it is not severely punished, will it not be imitated by others?

"The ministers and others have asked Your Majesty to decree the death of King Jing as an example."

Civil and military officials knelt on the ground, some were afraid that Shangguanpu would confess themselves, and some were trying to help those they supported to eliminate their opponents.

But no matter what the purpose was, there was an unprecedented consensus on the execution of Shangguanpu.

It is said that the tiger poison still does not eat its children, so the emperor made an expression of being forced to do nothing at the right time, opened his mouth, and the word "quasi-play" was about to be spoken.

A drum sound suddenly sounded outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony. The sound was short and light. When everyone thought that they had heard it wrong, the drum sound sounded again.

"Dong, dong, dong..." The dull drum sound came one after another, resounding throughout the palace.

This is……

The ministers had guesses in their hearts, looked at each other, and all looked at the emperor on the dragon chair.

When the emperor sounded the drums for the first time, his eyes subconsciously fell on Song Jingchen who was standing behind him.

"Instinct..." The inner supervisor stumbled into the hall, knelt down and trembled with a look of fear: "Your Majesty, someone beat the drum..."

Huh, the speculation in my heart was confirmed, and the ministers were in an uproar.

The Dengwen Drum was a drum of grievances specially set up at the gate of the palace when the late emperor was there. Up to the royal family and relatives, down to the people in the market, anyone who has major grievances can beat the drums and complain about their grievances...

Different from the drum at the entrance of Jingzhao Mansion, once the drum is sounded, the emperor needs to personally hear it publicly.

In order to prevent someone from deliberately disturbing the court, anyone who strikes the Dengwen drum and complains of injustice will first be punished for thirty.

You must know that the thirty sticks are not a joke. If you are poor, you will lose your life if you fail to pass the first test. How can you file a grievance?

It is precisely because of this harsh condition that the Dengwen Drum has been sounded for the first time since its establishment.

No emperor would want to see a major injustice during the period of his own governance.

The emperor's face was as black as ink, and he stared at Song Jingchen for a long while, but the latter seemed to be unaware, just stood silently on the spot, not even lifting his eyelids.

The emperor was suspicious, could it be that he guessed wrong?

"Dong, dong, dong..." The drum sound continued, the emperor did not speak, and the officials did not dare to let out the air.

After a long time, I heard the emperor ask in a deep voice, "Who is the drummer? What grievances are there?"

The inner supervisor hesitated and said: "It's an old woman, she, she said that she came to complain on behalf of the abolished prince and Mrs. Song, and said that His Majesty had wronged the loyal ministers and generals, and the abolished prince and Mrs. Song were both innocent... "

"Presumptuous." The emperor's face turned cold, as if he had forgotten the face when he needed Song Jingchen to do things, and scolded: "The evidence of the crime back then is conclusive, what grievances can be shouted, are the guards outside all decorations? drive away."

He personally judged the case, and he also wrote the decree of condemnation. If it was confirmed that he was wronged, wouldn't it mean that he was at fault?

The inner supervisor looked puzzled: "Yes, but the old woman said that the dragon robe was made by her, and now the palace gate is surrounded by people..."

The emperor's pupils shrank and gritted his teeth: "Blow them all away, if there are any violations..."

"Your Majesty." Censor Zhao Lao suddenly came out: "Dengwen drum sound, if you ignore it, it will definitely make the people in the world suspicious and dissatisfied. Please think again, Your Majesty."

Isn't the Dengwen Drum set up just to quell the grievances? If it depends on the emperor's mood, what's the point of its existence?

"Please think twice, Your Majesty." Several more senior officials followed and knelt down.

If you look closely, you will find that these few old ministers are more or less related to Dean Lu of Qiulu Academy.

"Boom, boom, boom..."

The sound of the drums seemed to be beating on people's hearts, adding a sense of imminent storm.

The emperor looked at Song Jingchen with a gloomy expression, with some anger and a flash of killing intent in his eyes.

Song Jingchen no longer pretended he didn't see it, and walked straight to the kneeling minister.

"I implore Your Majesty to return my Song family's innocence."

At this moment, a notification sounded outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony: "The Queen Mother is here~"

The emperor was startled, just stood up, wearing a thick phoenix crown, wearing a gorgeous phoenix robe, the queen mother walked in from outside the hall.

"Empress mother, you are..." You must know that the harem cannot be involved in politics, even if the queen mother never came to the previous dynasty when the emperor first ascended the throne, and then moved directly to the imperial mausoleum to live there.

"Aijia heard that someone beat the drum and complained about injustice. I was worried that the emperor was busy with court affairs and ignored it, so he came to remind him."

The courtiers looked at each other, how could the drum sound that even the harem could hear, how could the former court not be able to hear it?

Besides, even if the emperor really can't hear it, is there still a palace servant to remind it?

Empress Wei's words are also interesting. It sounds like she came here for a walk at random, but she didn't even dress up when she went to Lingyin Temple to pray for blessings. Today, she is wearing a phoenix robe. let's go?

The emperor is not stupid, and the ministers can naturally think of things they can think of. He frowned and said: "Mother..."

"Emperor." Empress Dowager Wei interrupted him: "Don't say that Mrs. Song is my old humerus minister in Daxia.

Let's just say that Dengwen Gu, that is your father's promise to the world, and the rules he set. If you don't obey, what will the world think? "

How is this different from saying that the emperor is guilty? The ministers hung their heads one by one, eager to cover their ears.

The emperor's face was blue and red for a while, and he was angry. He closed his eyes and waved: "Bring people in."

A quarter of an hour later, the eunuch who went out to spread the word came back alone, kneeling there trembling and not daring to speak.

"Speak." The emperor shouted angrily.

"Then, the old woman said it was not a pity for her to die, but... but she can't let good people continue to be wronged..."

ho! What does it mean? Does it mean that the emperor will kill her to silence her?

Don't say it, it's really possible.

So well-organized, that no one has reminded beforehand who believes?

The word "presumptuous" almost blurted out, but the emperor finally swallowed it through gritted teeth, but his face became darker.

In the end, it was the Empress Dowager Wei's suggestion that the emperor personally brought Minister Yiliuyan to the gate of the palace, and Lin Mu took the imperial guards to protect him.

Standing on the steps of the white marble, seeing the situation outside, everyone took a deep breath, and just said that the inner prison outside the palace gate is full of common people is too modest. From a distance, there is no end in sight.

I am afraid that the people of the whole capital are not here, right?

I have to tell the truth about those who have this idea. You must know that the dumb woman started from Chang'an Avenue and went all the way to tell what Mrs. Song had done for the people of Daxia, but she ended up being wronged and died in the end.

Her words were sincere, and her voice was a little hoarse, which made everyone's eyes red.

When they reach the gate of the palace, isn't the team huge?

Even when the drum was heard by the mute woman for the first time, the strong and strong man volunteered to stand up and beat for her.

When you get tired, change to another person. At this time, there are several people standing next to Dengwen Drum.

When they saw the emperor come out with people, someone shouted "Your Majesty is out", and then everyone knelt and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

The last time I saw this scene was when he first ascended the throne and sacrificed to heaven.

The emperor's face was full of surprise, and he glanced at Qi Shou, who was accompanying him.

Qishou understood, cleared his throat, and asked sharply, "Who is the drummer? What grievances are there?"

The crowd fell silent immediately.

Zhong Cheng helped the dumb woman walk to the front and knelt down among the big men who were helping to beat the drums.

"Ms. Zhou, the wife of the people, came here today to express injustice for Mrs. Song." The dumb woman leaned down and slammed her head on the ground: "Your Majesty, King Anle was framed and framed, and Mrs. Song was wronged. I beg your majesty to give Mrs. Song one justice."

The emperor narrowed his eyes and didn't ask her for any evidence. He said solemnly: "You know, this is a drummer and injustice. No matter whether what you say is true or not, you must first blame it for thirty?"

These words seemed to remind the dumb woman, but in reality they were all threats.

If he still insisted on complaining about his grievances and refused to leave, he would not be blamed for not getting past the scolding for a while.

There are no rules and no square, and he also acts according to the rules.

The dumb woman kowtowed again: "The women know."

The emperor's face darkened, he didn't know what to do.

He winked at the guards who were waiting by the side, and they immediately detained the dumb woman.

"Wait a minute."

A cold voice sounded from among the civil and military officials behind the emperor, and everyone looked in the direction of the voice...

Song Jingchen walked over to the dumb woman and knelt down without squinting: "Since it's my Song family's grievance, these thirty sticks should be accepted by me."

Just as the emperor wanted to say that there is no such rule, he heard Song Jingchen continue: "This old woman is at best my witness."

The dumb woman was stunned: "Sir Song, you..."

That's not what I said last night...

Her subconscious reaction made everyone think that these two people should have failed.

Including the emperor, but that didn't stop him from thinking that he didn't want the old woman to speak again.

Just as he was about to refuse, Empress Wei spoke again: "Aijia thinks what Uncle Zhongyi said is reasonable, so let's do it like this."

emperor:……

In the crowd, Mrs. Li, along with Brother Hao and Sister Huan, also knelt there, watching the wooden sticks with thick arms of an adult man fall on Song Jingchen one by one, and all three of them had red eyes.

"Mother, big brother he..."

Li closed his eyes, gritted his teeth, and said, "Look at the face of the man in the middle, it's him who killed your father and grandfather."

...

On the other side, Shen Yijia just put An Xiu'er on the hired carriage, which is what Song Jingchen specifically told her to do before going out.

In order to make it easier to watch Gu Anxiu'er, she also invited a female bodyguard to accompany her.

"Okay, let's go home." Shen Yijia patted An Xiu'er on the shoulder.

She had to rush back to the play.

An Xiu'er held a beaded flower in her hand and just smirked: "Huahua, it's beautiful, hehe~"

"Go home, give my mother..."

Shen Yijia was speechless and waved to signal that the escort in charge of driving the car could leave.

She didn't see that when the carriage curtain was lowered, a tear fell from the corner of An Xiu'er's eyes.
