The prison of the Ministry of Punishment is very lively today, and the prison guards don't know how much they have received even if they have received benefits.

Lu Wanzhi was moved when she saw the students of Tianzi class who came to visit her and Xie Jin one by one.

Although the students in the Tianzi class were surprised that the brother who ate and rowed with them was actually a woman, but now that something happened to Xie Jin, they would naturally not ignore it, and would only do their best to help.

Shen Luozhi said to Lu Wanzhi outside the prison: "Wanzhi, you have a good rest in prison, we will do our best to rescue you and Xie Jin."

Seeing Shen Luozhi in front of her, Lu Wanzhi nodded slightly at him and said, "Thank you."

After Shen Luozhi left the prison, he went to find his grandfather.

Before Shen Guogong saw Shen Luo, he said, "You just came back from the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice?"

Shen Luozhi clasped his hands and said, "Yes, grandfather, Wanzhi was murdered by an adulterer, and my grandson, as a disciple, should visit him both emotionally and rationally."

Shen Guogong teased the parrot in front of him and said: "The eldest daughter of the Lu family is asking for trouble this time."

Shen Luozhi knelt in front of Shen Guogong and said: "Grandfather, last time you said that if your grandson is not the head of the Shen family, you will allow your grandson to marry the person you like. Now your grandson is willing to give up the position of the eldest son and marry Lu Wanzhi as his wife!"

Shen Guogong paused while teasing the parrot's hand, looked at Shen Luozhi coldly and said, "Luo Zhi, have you ever thought about your mother when you say that?"

Shen Luozhi bowed his head and said: "Grandfather, my grandson is now 22. All these years, I have been unable to hold an official position in the court because of my grandson's cowardice and incompetence. This time, my grandson can get Zhongjieyuan thanks to Lu Wanzhi's help." .

I believe in my ability, even if I don't have the position of Prince Zhen Guo, I can still make achievements in the court and make my wife Yin Zi.

And if I am no longer foolish and filial to prevent my mother from embarrassing me, then even if I am the son of the Duke, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to take on the important task of being the head of the Shen family in the future, and I hope that my grandfather will help me and Lu Wanzhi. "

Zhen Guogong said: "Even if I grant you, this Lu Wanzhi is already in prison, and I'm afraid it will be a disaster.

This time, the King of Jin joined forces with many literati who failed in the prefectural exams, and they all blamed Lu Wanzhi for deceiving the king. The chicken Sichen asked a woman to pretend to be a man in the scientific exams. spared the death penalty. "

Shen Luozhi said: "Grandfather, the boy will find a way to save Lu Wanzhi. If Wanzhi is safe and sound this time, I hope that grandfather will allow his grandson to go to the Lu family to propose marriage."

Duke Zhen said in a deep voice, "We'll wait until Lu Wanzhi escapes the catastrophe first."

……

In the afternoon, when the sun was shining the most, the Empress Dowager heard that Zhao Heng was kneeling at the entrance of the Zichen Hall, so she even came over to watch.

Seeing the flushed grandchildren, the Empress Dowager felt distressed.

"Heng'er, Huaying, you two, get up!"

Seeing the Empress Dowager in front of her, Zhao Heng said, "Grandmother, if Uncle Huang refuses to let Wanzhi go, I won't be able to get up on my knees."

The Queen Mother frowned and said: "Heng'er, get up, you must not embarrass your uncle like this!"

Zhao Heng still didn't get up, he was still kneeling, and Hua Ying also knelt and said, "Grandmother, if the emperor doesn't let Lu Wanzhi go, I won't be able to kneel."

The Empress Dowager looked at the two people, sighed and said: "Forget it, come here, find the imperial doctor to wait by the side, don't let them have trouble."

After finishing speaking, the queen mother sighed and left.

At dusk, Zhao Heng was unconscious on his knees, so he got up with the help of the side.

Hua Ying looked up at Zhao Heng and said, "Aren't you kneeling?"

Zhao Heng said: "Kneel, but let me go to Gongfang first."

Huaying: "..."

The sky was dark, and after the King of Chu came out of Zichen Hall, he saw Zhao Heng who was still kneeling and said, "Get up, this time Wanzhi made a big mistake, and His Majesty can't ignore the court literati."

Zhao Heng said: "I can't afford it. If Uncle Huang doesn't let Lu Wanzhi and Xie Jin go, I won't afford it."

"Me too!" Hua Ying said beside Zhao Heng.

The King of Chu sighed and said, "What's the use of you doing this? Could Your Majesty still be threatened by you two juniors?"

"Prince Chu!" Lu Hang walked to King Chu and bowed in salute.

King Chu saw Lu Hangdao: "Nephew Lu Xian, you don't have to be polite, you came just in time, I advise Huaying not to kneel down here."

The King of Chu said to Zhao Heng again: "You also hurry up!"

"I'm sorry!"

Zhao Heng didn't believe that Uncle Huang could really be so cruel.

Hearing what Zhao Heng said, the King of Chu shook his sleeve angrily and said, "Whatever you want, I'm going back to the mansion first."

After King Chu left, Lu Hang said to Hua Ying who was beside him, "Get up, you kneeling like this will not help save Wanzhi."

Hua Ying raised her eyes and looked at Lu Hang and said: "I believe my father will not be so cruel, Lu Hang, since I married you, Wanzhi is my younger sister, as the elder sister-in-law, I just want to do my best .”

Lu Hang looked at the light in Huaying's eyes, and pulled Huaying up: "This is useless work, let's go home first and make a long-term plan."

After listening to Lu Hang's words, Hua Ying didn't say much after all.

After Zhao Heng saw Hua Ying and Lu Hang leave, he still knelt on the spot, listening to the growling of his lower abdomen.

The queen came over with a food box, walked up to Zhao Heng and said, "Heng'er, this is what my aunt ordered the imperial chef to cook for you, some of your favorite dishes, hurry up and eat."

Although Zhao Heng wanted to eat it very much, but he said: "Auntie, if Uncle Huang doesn't want to let Wanzhi go, I won't eat it. Seeing that it's getting dark, Zhizhi will be scared in prison. She I was sick yesterday...how can I eat anything?"

The queen said: "You still care about your Zhizhi? Look at how you have been exposed? Hurry up and eat. As for Wanzhi, Auntie promises you that she will never put her life in danger."

Zhao Heng said: "I can't let her stay in the prison anymore, I have been there before, it is not a place for people to stay at all, thinking about Zhizhi living there, I can't eat!"

The queen sighed and entered the Zichen Palace.

Emperor Jing Yuan was still reviewing the memorial, when he saw the queen come in, he asked, "Why are you here?"

The queen said angrily: "Your Majesty is really cruel. You watched and grew up Heng'er since he was a child. He knelt like this for a long time. He peeled off a layer of skin without lunch. You didn't even get a drop of water. Are they all indifferent?"

Emperor Jing Yuan said: "I want Heng'er to retreat in the face of difficulties, this time Lu Wanzhi made no small mistake, conniving female apprentices to pretend to be men's imperial examinations is a crime of deceiving the emperor!

If Lu Wanzhi changed Xie Jin's household registration today, if I don't punish him, tomorrow someone will change his name and household registration to take the scientific examination. How can the imperial examination be fair?

This time, the students who failed the state examination wrote letters one after another, and many censors also told me not to spare Lu Wanzhi lightly. I was still thinking about whether to spare Lu Wanzhi from the death penalty. How could I release her from prison so easily? "

The queen was surprised and said: "You want to sentence Lu Wanzhi to death? What will Heng'er do if you sentence Lu Wanzhi to death? What will Huaying do? She has only been married to the Lu family for a few days. You sentence the daughter of the Lu family to death. Can Ying and Concubine Lu still be in harmony?
Also, Mr. Lu has only been away for three years, and you are going to kill his granddaughter, which will chill the old minister's heart! "

Emperor Jing Yuan sighed, "Queen, state-owned state law!"

Empress Gu frowned and said: "I don't know what national law is, I only know that if something good or bad happens to Heng'er, I will have no face to see my sister.

My sister asked me to take good care of Heng'er when she was dying, but I can't even keep the woman Heng'er loves, how can I have the face to meet her?

If His Majesty wants to convict Lu Wanzhi to death, it is better to convict Ben Gong as well. "

Emperor Jing Yuan heard that Empress Gu was still talking about his own palace in front of him, and said: "Do you really think that I dare not convict you? Do you still look like the mother of a country?
The queen mother also knows the importance of the relationship this time, she didn't pamper Heng'er, but you still want to pamper her?Heng'er is so playful and willful, it's because you spoiled her temper! "

Zhao Heng listened to the quarrel in Zichen Palace outside, got up and went inside, knelt down in front of Emperor Jing Yuan and said, "Uncle Huang, don't blame Auntie, everything is my own wish, it has nothing to do with Auntie, Auntie just loves me!"

After listening to Zhao Heng's words, Queen Gu patted Zhao Heng's head, "Heng'er is still the most obedient, Auntie did not hurt you wrong after all."

Emperor Jing Yuan was even more annoyed: "Zhao Heng, I can't disregard the national law this time, even if you can't afford to go on a hunger strike, I won't let Lu Wanzhi lightly!"
