In the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, all kinds of beds, tables and chairs from the palace were delivered one by one. Jiang Suling also brought in the servant girls from the palace to make the originally dark and damp prison a whole new look.

Seeing Lu Wanzhi in prison, Jiang Suling could only comfort her: "Wanzhi, don't worry too much, I will definitely find a way to get you out as soon as possible."

Lu Wanzhi smiled slightly at Jiang Suling, "Yes."

"Sister Lu!"

Jiang Li came in a hurry, seeing Lu Wanzhi who was locked in the prison, she was full of worry: "Sister Lu, how could Xie Jin be a daughter? Is there a mistake? Xie Jin should be a man. I and him How could he be a woman after being together day and night for more than four months?"

Lu Wanzhi looked at Xie Jin who was locked at the side, and said to Jiang Li, "Jiang Li, I didn't tell you about this, this Xie Jin is indeed a girl's family."

Xie Jin kowtowed guiltily and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I caused Sister Wanzhi, Sister Wanzhi, I'm sorry!"

Lu Wanzhi said to Xie Jin: "No, you are not wrong. This world is unfair to us women. We are obviously no worse than men, but we have no chance to be an official in the imperial examination. You don't have to blame yourself, even if you die, you deserve it."

Jiang Li said repeatedly: "Sister Lu, I will not let you die, I will try to save you."

Jiang Li looked at Xie Jin at the side and said, "I will save Xie Jin too."

Lu Wanzhi said to Jiang Li: "Jiang Li, don't bother with this matter, this matter should not be implicated in others, Su Ling, help me persuade Zhao Heng, I'm afraid he will act willfully, please take care of him Follow him."

Jiang Suling nodded slightly, and did not stay in prison for long.

in the palace.

Zhao Heng was still kneeling in front of Emperor Jing Yuan, he had knelt for a full quarter of an hour, and his legs were numb from kneeling.

Seeing Zhao Heng moving his legs, Emperor Jing Yuan said, "If you're tired, get up, I'm going to have lunch."

Zhao Heng said: "Uncle Huang, if you don't promise me, I will never get up!"

Emperor Jing Yuan said to the waiter at the side: "Let's spread the meal in the hall today, and ask the imperial chef if there are lion heads, if so, bring a few more, Heng'er likes to eat."

Zhao Heng listened to Emperor Jing Yuan's words, and said: "Uncle Huang, if you really love me, you will let Wan Zhi go, how can she, a lady of a great family, endure the pain of prison."

Emperor Jing Yuan said: "Heng'er, ask yourself, all these years I have relied on you, when has I not relied on you?
But this time Lu Wanzhi committed the crime of deceiving the emperor related to the imperial examination. It is the law of the country, and I can no longer rely on you! "

The servant sent the meal inside, but Zhao Heng didn't eat a single bite.

Emperor Jing Yuan looked at Zhao Heng and said, "Eat as much as you want."

Zhao Heng said: "I don't know if there is food for Zhizhi, she must not be able to eat the rough food in the prison, she is picky eater, how can I still eat on my own?"

After hearing Zhao Heng's words, Emperor Jing Yuan stopped letting him eat, and just put the food aside. When Zhao Heng was hungry, he would definitely eat it.

……

At noon, Hua Ying and Lu Yunxuan came to the prison to deliver food to Lu Wanzhi.

Huaying said to Lu Wanzhi who was in prison: "Wanzhi, your brother has already tried to save you, and I will go to the palace in the afternoon to beg Father to let you go, don't be too nervous."

Lu Wanzhi smiled slightly at Huaying, "Thank you, sister-in-law."

Lu Yunxuan also brought food to Xie Jin who was at the side.

When Lu Wanzhi ate the food from Lu's family, she knew it was her mother's handicraft once she tasted it, "Mother made it herself."

Hua Ying nodded and said, "Yes."

"The princess is here."

Following the shouts of the servants outside, Meng Jingshu came here.

Meng Jingshu bumped into Huaying, and said a little embarrassedly: "It just so happens that the imperial sister is also here, the prince is worried about sister Wanzhi, and specially ordered me to come and visit."

Lu Wanzhi saw the Crown Princess coming, saluted and said, "See your empress."

Meng Jingshu even supported Lu Wanzhi and said: "Wanzhi, you don't have to be polite. His Highness said that although your crime is serious, you don't have to worry about the danger of your life. He will try to protect your life. It's best to push the blame away." With Xie Jin alone, you might be able to retreat completely..."

Lu Wanzhi continued: "Mother, this is not allowed, I will never put the blame on her alone."

Xie Jin who was at the side said: "Sister Wanzhi, you have treated me very well, so you can just put the blame on me alone."

Lu Wanzhi frowned and said, "Xie Jin, I am your master, and it is absolutely impossible for me to blame you alone."

Hua Ying said from the side: "You don't need to argue, I will go to the palace to beg Father, if Father refuses to let me release Wan Zhi, I will kneel in front of Father and cannot afford to kneel."

Meng Jingshu sighed and said: "When I came, the king of Xiaojun had already knelt in the Zichen Palace for more than half an hour, and he said that he couldn't afford to kneel for long, and His Majesty didn't agree to let Lu Wanzhi go. Why did you do this?"

Hua Ying said: "After all, I am Father's daughter. Father doesn't love brother Heng, he should love me."

After Hua Ying finished speaking, she went into the palace.

Lu Wanzhi continued: "Princess..."

But there was no echo from Huaying, Meng Jingshu said: "This Huaying is young after all, Wanzhi, you don't have to worry too much about this matter, the prince is already trying to save you, no matter what, I won't let you have Risk of life."

Lu Wanzhi nodded and said, "Sister Jingshu, don't worry about me, your body is important."

Meng Jingshu responded softly, "Yes."

……

In the Zichen Palace in the afternoon, many officials came in and out, Zhao Heng didn't dodge, just knelt and didn't move.

When the King of Chu came, Zhao Heng ignored the King of Chu and knelt down.

The King of Chu asked Emperor Jing Yuan, "Brother, what has happened to this scoundrel?"

Emperor Jing Yuan said: "Don't talk about Heng'er like that, Heng'er wants me to let Lu Wanzhi go, so he can't afford to kneel."

The King of Chu frowned and looked at Zhao Heng and said, "Get up, what is it that you can't afford to kneel? Don't make things difficult for your uncle Huang!"

Zhao Heng looked at King Chu coldly and said, "Uncle Huang didn't think I made things difficult for him, so why did you teach me as soon as you came?"

The King of Chu forced Zhao Heng to stand up and said, "You want to kneel outside, what's the point of kneeling in the palace?"

Although the Mid-Autumn Festival has passed, the autumn day in this day is still very fierce. Although it is far less than the dog days, it is still very hot.

Zhao Heng got up and said: "Kneel outside, kneel outside!"

As Zhao Heng said, he knelt down outside the Zichen Hall with a thud, under the scorching sun, he was sweating profusely after a while.

When Hua Ying passed by Zhao Heng, seeing him sweating profusely, she murmured in her heart, and said coquettishly to Emperor Jing Yuan after entering the hall: "Father, why did you order Wanzhi to be locked up? It's only been a few days since I married into the Lu family, how can you let me treat my husband like this?"

Emperor Jing Yuan said: "Hua Ying, this time it is Lu Wanzhi who made a big mistake."

Hua Ying said: "It's just a woman disguised as a man for the scientific examination, how could there be a big mistake? Father, please let them go quickly."

Emperor Jing Yuan said helplessly: "It's about bullying the emperor in the imperial examination. If I am lenient, how can I explain to the court officials?"

Hua Ying said: "Father, if you don't let Lu Wanzhi go, I won't be able to kneel forever!"

Seeing another one coming, Emperor Jing Yuan said with a terrible headache, "It's just right, you can accompany Heng'er to kneel!"

Huaying: "..."
