The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1181: Bustling Outside the City Gate

"Concubine Zhao, the Queen ordered you to go to the palace. Didn't you hear it?" Zuo Zongzheng saw that the clan leader was about to faint from anger and seemed unable to speak for a while. He took two steps forward and questioned Shu Yajing loudly.

Hearing this, Shu Yajing's eyelids, which had been piled up several times due to sobbing, slightly lifted up. She looked at the fifth eunuch who came out to announce the decree, and said in a hoarse voice, "Forgive me for not knowing what is good and what is bad. The Emperor and the Empress have always been tolerant and always judge others by their own standards. No matter how big the mistake is, they always forgive it.

Unfortunately, I am just an ordinary person and cannot forgive the thief for what he did. I must make him confess his crime to the law, so that I can vent my anger and anger and feel at peace. "

Shu Yajing's sobbing words made the clan leader, who had just recovered from his breath, feel dizzy again with anger.

You Zongzheng was supporting him, his head was also tense, and he wanted to scold her, but he opened his mouth, and when his eyes met Shu Yajing's tearful eyes, he fell silent.

Zuo Zongzheng pursed his lips and questioned the sobbing Shu Yajing: "Concubine Zhao, since you love your son so much, you should put the prince first. Shouldn't you go to the palace to take care of the prince as a matter of urgency?"

"Zuo Zongzheng is wrong. I am just an ordinary woman. I don't know medical knowledge, nor do I know how to investigate cases. I am afraid that I will not be able to control my emotions when I see my son, and I will end up doing more harm than good. Everyone knows that the emperor and the empress are kind and fair. With their care, my son will be able to escape danger."

"Why don't you go back to the mansion and pray for the young master, hoping that he will recover from the danger and have a long and prosperous future!"

Shu Yajing choked up and didn't look at him anymore. She turned around and bowed to the palace gate. "How can I feel at ease when my son's condition is unknown? Although the emperor and the empress take it seriously, who can tell the truth about the poisoning? If he really makes a mistake, I can't live alone. In this case, I must prepare in advance and not give the thief a chance to survive!"

"You!" Zuo Zongling had some vague suspicions when he saw her calling him a thief. He then saw the eunuch who announced the decree walking back with his hands in his pockets. It seemed that the sixth round of decrees would be announced in a few moments. He immediately had the urge to faint together with Zuo Zongling.

It’s a pity that among all the people from the royal family who came here, he is the most reliable. If he doesn’t take care of it, the Jiang Chu royal family will become a laughing stock in the world!

"You are a woman who lives in seclusion in the inner palace, and you are oblivious to worldly affairs. How can you know the situation in the palace? The Crown Prince has been poisoned, and the inner guards and the three judicial departments have not yet reached a conclusion. How can you speak so confidently as if you know who the thief is!"

As soon as he said this, You Zongzheng felt that something was wrong, but before he could say anything, Shu Yajing suddenly became excited.

"How could I not know?! How could I not know! It was that vicious woman Yongping! It was her! She was the one who poisoned my son!"

As expected, as soon as she shouted, the spectators around her were in an uproar.

  Wow, this is explosive news!

Who in Kyoto doesn't know who Princess Yongping is?

Even if you have never heard of her before, since the battle for the crown prince began, this person has become a person that people are likely to mention after dinner.

"The father of the former crown prince, the mother of the former princess, who had lived a carefree life for half of her life and gave birth to a bunch of children, but who would have thought that the throne would fall from the sky and fall into their hands."

Such material and such a protagonist would become a hit if put into a play or storybook.

But such a protagonist, who must have a positive image in dramas and stories, might have done things that only villains do, and the people around who were just watching the show exclaimed in surprise.

Zongrenling woke up amid the screams.

You Zong Zheng had not expected that this clan uncle was so strong-willed. While he admired him, he was also afraid that he would faint again, so he hurriedly called for Zuo Zong Zheng to help and stopped the man.

At this point in time, the royal family can no longer provide a laughing stock for the world.

It was just that his idea was very good, and he also appeased the clan leader and convinced Zuo Zongzheng. But Shu Yajing did not cooperate, so his idea was just an idea.

"Zhao Wang's concubine Shu, the Queen has ordered me to orally convey her will - Zhao Wang's Crown Prince is getting better, please come to the palace and take good care of him. When the situation improves, it will not be too late to consider whether to leave or stay."

The eunuch who came out in the sixth round was different from the previous ones. After announcing the decree, he made a gesture of invitation to Shu Yajing: "Concubine Zhao, please don't embarrass me. The five palace maids who announced the decree with you before have already been punished. If you insist on doing it your own way, I am afraid that I and other palace maids will be punished!"

When Shu Yajing heard the voice, her expression was sad, but her actions were firm.

She shook her head and choked up, "It's not that I don't have sympathy, it's just that this is about my son, I can't tolerate the thief getting away with it! If the emperor and the empress are blindly lenient and always think of the flesh and blood relationship as the most important, I can only advise them with my life!"

When the eunuch heard her say this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and spread his hands: "You are making things difficult for me!"

Although she said so, the eunuch knew very well that she could only say this.

Persuasion cannot be done.

Instead of hanging around here, it’s better to go back and report.

The eunuch thought so, bowed, turned around and wanted to leave.

But she had only taken a few steps when she heard a loud shout from afar: "Shu! You are so bold! Who bribed you to frame my son?!"

Hearing the familiar angry voice, the eunuch immediately retracted his foot, took two steps back as if nothing had happened, and turned around to see what was going on.

"Grand Princess Hong'an, this is the entrance to the imperial city, not your old residence in the imperial manor. The pardon granted to you by the late emperor is of no use! You should reflect on yourself in the mansion. How dare you step out of the mansion? How dare you stand in front of me?!"

"Grand Princess, please go back home!" The clan leader pushed away the hands of the left and right clan leaders who were supporting him, walked up to Grand Princess Hong'an, who wanted to swallow Shu Yajing, with trembling crutches, and reprimanded her in a deep voice.

Strictly speaking, although Zongrenling also has white hair and blurry eyes, in terms of seniority, he is considered the nephew of Princess Hong'an.

Normally when they met, she would be conscientious and polite to him, treating him like a nephew. When had she ever been so arrogant and scolded him like this? !

Princess Hong'an was stunned and looked at the clan leader and the two clan leaders in disbelief. It took her a long time to come to her senses: "You, you, you...how dare you talk to me like this?!"

  Princess Hongan was so angry that she even pointed at the other party with a trembling finger: "Yongping was framed, but you, the clan officials, said nothing and allowed Shu Shi to make random accusations without punishing him!

You have no guilt in front of me, and you even say that I violated the imperial edict?! Are you so afraid of my appearance?! Is this how you run the clan affairs office?! "

"The Imperial Clan Court is not the Three Law Departments, nor is it the City Patrol Department. How could they have the right to drive me away? It is you who, in the name of the Grand Princess, enjoys the wealth of the world, but disregards the law, despises the imperial edict, and tries to disrupt the sight. You are the one who should feel guilty and reflect on yourself!"

When Shu Yajing saw Princess Hong'an, she felt as if she had drunk mint water and her whole body became perked up.

Her combat power instantly increased by dozens of levels. Just as she was about to deliver a critical hit, Concubine Cen, who appeared slowly, interrupted her.

"Grand Princess! The clan leader is right! You really shouldn't have come here!"
