Prince, the princess calls you to dream

Seeing the east gradually light up, the officials in front of Longyin Palace seemed to see hope.

After a while it is time to go to court.

"Aren't you hungry? Don't your knees hurt?" A female voice sounded.

The crowd followed the sound.

Then I saw a woman in palace attire holding her skirt slightly, walking up the stairs and looking at them.

It is Bai Shixiang, the ten princesses.

Naturally, no one paid attention to her.

Bai Shixiang didn't care, went straight up the steps, and came to Qin Fulai: "Eunuch Qin, I have something to ask the emperor, go and report it."

"Princess Ten, I'm sorry, the Emperor is talking to the Ninth Prince."

"I know, you just take this and give it to him, he will let me see you." Bai Shixiang stuffed Qin Fulai a card.

Qin Fu came to take a look. It was the kind of cards used by princes and princesses to learn idioms. There are pictures on the top and words on the bottom.

The idiom on this card is: ten wins.

Qin Fulai didn't know what she meant, and knew that he was usually savage and willful, so he thought she was messing around again, so he didn't move, and returned the cards to her: "Forgive me, slave."

"Believe it or not, if you don't go in and report, the emperor will punish you later?" Bai Shixiang frowned and interrupted his words.

Qin Fulai hesitated for a while, then reluctantly took the cards and went inside.

Not long after, Qin Fulai came out and let Bai Shixiang in.

The officials were dumbfounded when they saw it.

You look at me, I look at you.

What do you mean?
Let the ten princesses in, not let them in?

Zhu Jin asked Qin Fulai: "Eunuch Qin, what does the emperor mean?"

"I'm sorry Grand Master Zhu, the miscellaneous family is also only responsible for reporting, and doesn't know anything else." Qin Fulai replied.

An official immediately received: "Then go in and report to us."

"When I informed the ten princesses just now, the miscellaneous family also informed the adults to kneel and wait outside the hall."

Ok.

It means you can't see them.

Just when everyone was getting angry, the tenth princess Bai Shixiang came out from inside.

"The emperor let all the adults go in."

All the officials were overjoyed when they heard the words, and got up from the ground one after another. Many people either fell down or couldn't get up when they got up because they knelt for a long time.

The young and strong walked up the steps quickly, and the old and weak supported each other to get up.

Bai Shixiang avoided the swarming crowd, gave way to the side, then walked down the stairs and left.

Ning Shiqian came to the gate of the palace and was stopped without any accident.

"Please tell me, the fourth prince of Sanglin, Ning Shiqian, has something urgent to ask to see the emperor." Ning Shiqian showed his waist badge and asked the guards at the gate of the palace to report.

The guard refused: "At this time, the emperor should be in the early court."

"Excuse me!" Ning Shiqian quietly handed him a piece of silver.

Although the guard wanted the silver very much, he still refused.

Because everyone knows that because of the matter of the Nine Princes, all the officials did not come out after entering yesterday, and they all petitioned in front of the Dragon Yin Palace. Isn't it courting death for him to report at this time?

Life is more important than money.

Then he returned it to Ning Shiqian: "I can't help you."

While the two were entangled, a luan sedan came out of the palace.

The morning wind raised the window curtain of the luan sedan chair, and Ning Shiqian saw that it was Bai Shixiang, the ten princesses, and immediately stepped forward to stop her.

"Princess Ten, Ning has something urgent to ask to see the emperor, can I ask Princess Ten to accommodate me and let Ning go in?"

He thought the people inside would lift the curtain to respond, but no.

The curtain of the door was not moved, and the people inside did not make a sound.

Just when he thought she was definitely unwilling to help, he suddenly heard Bai Shixiang's voice coming through the curtain.

"Let him in!"

This sentence is said to the guard at the gate.

The guards are a little embarrassed: "Ten Princesses"

"Don't you listen to what I said? Let him in. If there is a problem, I will take care of it."

The voice continued to come out from the door curtain. From the beginning to the end, Bai Shixiang did not lift the door curtain or the window curtain.

Seeing what she said, the guard had no choice but to let her go: "Yes!"

"Thank you Princess Ten!" Ning Shiqian bowed slightly.

In fact, he was quite surprised.

After all, he had offended her before, and, hearing that she had a very unruly and willful personality, he had also experienced it before, so he thought she would make a fuss again, but the result was beyond his expectation.

The luan sedan continued to move.

Ning Shiqian retreated to the side, raised his eyes and saw that after the window curtain was lifted by the wind, Bai Shixiang also glanced sideways at him.

He bowed his eyes to her again and thanked her.

When the Luan sedan chair was out of the palace gate, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately walked towards the palace.

When he came to Longyin Palace, he found that there were no officials kneeling outside the palace, his eyebrows twitched, and he quickly went up the stairs.

"Excuse me, eunuch, please send a message that the Fourth Prince of Sanglin, Ning Shiqian, has urgent matters to see!" He said to the little eunuch who was guarding the door.

The little eunuch shook his head: "The emperor doesn't have time to see you now, the Ninth Prince just committed suicide by taking poison, and all the officials are inside."

"What did you say?" The little eunuch asked anxiously before he could finish his sentence, he grabbed his arm.

The little eunuch was very frightened by him, especially his arm hurt so badly from his grip, so he frowned and broke his arm free.

"I said, the Ninth Prince just committed suicide, and the emperor and all the officials are dealing with this matter and are busy."

Ning Shiqian swayed, staggered and took a step back before standing still.

His eyes were pale, his ears were buzzing, only the phrase "The Ninth Prince just committed suicide by taking poison" repeatedly hit his temple.

His appearance frightened the little eunuch.

"Are you all right?"

Why suddenly his face was as white as a piece of paper, the veins on his forehead were clearly visible, and he was shaking, as if he couldn't stand upright.

"I want to go in." Ning Shiqian took a while to find his voice.

The little eunuch looked at him, fearing that something might be wrong with him, so he had no choice but to reply: "I'll go in and see the situation, and if I can report it, I'll report it. If the situation is not good, there's nothing I can do about it."

"It's work."

As Ning Shiqian said this, seeing the little eunuch turn around and walk in, he also followed behind.

When the little eunuch came to his senses, he had followed him into the palace.

"You..." the little eunuch was shocked.

Ning Shiqian raised his eyes and looked into the hall as if he didn't hear it at all.

In the hall, hundreds of officials knelt on the ground, and Emperor Wen sat in front of him, his eyes were red.

On the ground below Emperor Wen, in front of all the officials kneeling, a figure in purple lay across the ground, motionless and completely silent.

It was as if Ning Shiqian's heart had been hit hard by something, causing him to sway in pain, and he stretched out his hand to hold onto the side pillar to stabilize himself.

"Your Majesty, the Ninth Prince has been able to deceive the emperor and the people for so many years. It can be seen that he is cunning, so how can he subdue the law so easily? Fearing that he is deceitful, I have the courage to ask for orders, and go forward to confirm whether it is him?"

It was Zhu Jin who knelt down and begged for his life.

After Zhu Jin finished speaking, everyone followed suit: "Please allow the emperor!"

"The poisoned wine that I personally gave, she drank it in front of me, how could it be fake?" Emperor Wen asked back.

"And, is it easy? You are so hard to force each other, and there are many old and weak among you, who will not eat or drink, kneel in the cold night, and use your life to force each other, can she not subdue the law?"
