A rich burial?
Who does Feng Xi want to bury generously?
him?
At this moment, Chu Ze could no longer care about being tied up. The red and swollen areas on his face were feeling pain again. He opened his mouth and said to Feng Xi:
"Princess, I am the eldest son of Chu. Even if you are a princess, you cannot be so careless about human life. You can condemn me to death with just one sentence! If so, is there any royal law in this world!"
He was really anxious now, because everyone had heard about the bloody storm in the Heavenly Palace a few days ago.
The emperor and Qi Xiao directly and secretly attacked some elderly people in the palace and killed them after being found guilty. The fundamental reason was that they were the spies of the Fang and Chu families in the palace.
So is he also being targeted?
But he was just ordered to make an envoy to the Princess Protector's Mansion at Shanngling Academy, and used Mu Qing's incident to destroy their relationship with the Qibohou Mansion...
Could it be that they had heard about it a long time ago and therefore deliberately used it against him?
Some people have been pampered since childhood and are arrogant about everything. They think that whatever they do is natural, and others are targeting them intentionally.
Chu Ze is this kind of person.
So while he was thinking crazily, the look he looked at Feng Xi changed from vague disgust before, to surprise, to resentment mixed with fear...
"Princess, you'd better think twice before you act, otherwise you will only be the one who suffers in the end..."
Listening to Chu Ze's pressure with anger and resentment, Feng Xi, who was originally in a hurry to get off work, suddenly felt no longer sleepy.
She said that Hou Buran was just a man who went crazy casually. He was a salty fish, but he was also very happy occasionally.
But this Chu Ze actually wants to teach her how to do things?
Can this be tolerated?
Others can tolerate it, but she, Feng Xi, always lets others tolerate it.
"Well, you are right. The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is the king's ministers. If you want the king's law, can't I just take you to find it?"
After that, Feng Xi gave an order, and Mu Yao and others who were about to be let go were surrounded again. At the same time, Chu Ze, who was originally tied to a pillar, was thrown into the circle.
At the same time, the five servants who had been waiting outside Shanling Academy saw that their master had not come out for a long time, and they were all as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
However, just when they were wondering whether they should go back to report the news, they saw their old lady, madam, young lady, and young master surrounded by the princess's guards in the center, all of them looking frightened.
One or two people were left behind to help, and the others immediately went to their own mansions to report the news.
Seeing this, the guards on the side immediately reported it to Feng Xi, but Feng Xi just glanced at it briefly and said:
"If the report is useful, what do you need me to do?"
"It's not good! It's not good, sir! The eldest young master, he was detained by Princess Protector!"
After a few sticks of incense, Chu Yu, the official minister who was discussing matters in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, was the first to receive the news.
Immediately afterwards, people from the Anding Count's Mansion, the Minister's Mansion, and the Yushi Mansion hurriedly put on their robes and went out, eager to slap their ignorant women and naughty children.
When the news reached Qi Bohou Mansion, which was the farthest place from Shanngling Academy, Yao Guang, who no longer needed to pay attention to the matter, did not dare to make his own decision and not report it, even after his master's instructions.
"Are you saying that Feng Xi actually brought the matter of Qi Zhuo's child falling into the water directly to the emperor? Where is he now? Has he entered the palace?"
Mu Qingze never expected that Feng Xi could cause such an ugly incident, which could be solved by a few elders with just a few words of laughter.
He has always paid no attention to the trivial matters of his second wife. After all, his second wife is close to the Chu family, and they have even closer contact after marrying the daughter of the Chu family.
As the young marquis of the Qi Bohou Mansion, if he interacted more with the second wife, wouldn't it be easy for interested people to overthink it, and even accidentally taint the interests of the Chu family.
But now that his grandfather is Qingxiu and his father is away, this matter is related to the reputation of the Mu family. He means that he can no longer sit back and watch.
If Feng Xi did this to lure him out, there is no doubt that she succeeded.
However, just as Mu Qing was about to pack up and go out, and immediately took his grandfather's seal and asked to enter the palace, Tianji, his personal attendant outside the door, hurried in and said:
"Master, what's wrong, the emperor issued a death order under the persuasion of the Princess Protector. Except for the princess who brought her into the palace in person, and the people the Imperial Guards might pick up later, all the others are gone! At this moment, the fourth prince, Chu Shangshu, Uncle Anding and others are waiting outside the palace gate, waiting for Concubine Shu in the palace to go and investigate the situation."
Mu Qingze: "..."
So what exactly does Feng Xi want to do?
At this moment, all the dignitaries in Beijing, whether related to this matter or not, all had this question in their minds.
But when the father and son of the minor officials who had withdrawn their son from Shanngling Academy were summoned to the palace, and then several other families in similar situations appeared, the faces of Mr. Mu and the Chu family were extremely ugly.
What is Feng Xi doing?
This is to peel off the skin of both their families!
At the same time, Emperor Shengde was in the Yangxin Hall to personally receive Song Ting and Lin Run who were brought into the palace by Feng Xi.
Song Ting was a great Confucian of Dazhao. He was an upright man with profound knowledge. In terms of writing articles and teaching, even Taishi Mu Lingyang could not surpass him.
However, the great truth is simplicity. A person who is devoted to learning is said to be pure in mind at best, and naive at worst!
"Mr. Song, you and your student should have entered the palace earlier to find me. How can I not make the decision for you on such a big matter? If the Chu family wants to cover the sky with one hand, they will have to wait until I get down from Jiuquan. Besides, it’s not?”
Seeing Emperor Shengde's words, Song Ting and others knelt down in front of the emperor.
What's going on? The princess said that she was struck by lightning and died, so why did the emperor...
Seemingly realizing that he was being led astray by Feng Xi, Emperor Sheng De immediately said with a dark face to Feng Xi, who was leading his nephew to eat and wait for death without helping at all:
"Zhaoming, what do you think?"
Feng Xi: "?"
Feng Xi, who was about to stuff a piece of pea yellow into her mouth, immediately made a quick move and stuffed the pea yellow that was not put in originally.
Emperor Sheng De: "..."
Okay, it's already obvious that this unfortunate thing just wants to be killed and not buried, and he doesn't want to say anything.
The fact that the Shanngling Academy's wine offering was not as effective as that of a minister was indeed an oversight on his part by the king of the country. The unlucky thing could be considered as taking the initiative to share his worries by personally bringing people into the palace.
In a few words, Emperor Shengde had already comforted himself.
There is no other way. If you don’t want to be angry to death, you have to learn to comfort yourself.
"That's all, don't worry, I will let Dali Temple take over this case. Aren't you still worried about that kid Zhaoling? He will definitely give you justice."
Emperor Sheng De chuckled, "It doesn't matter. He can't control this unfortunate thing. He still has a good son-in-law, Zhao Ling!"
So in the early morning of the next day, when Qi Xiao and his people had finished handling the case outside the city, he thought he could finally go back home to see the little Phoenix...
What greeted him was not his crazy little phoenix, but an imperial edict, a school, a group of prisoners, and the emperor's father-in-law with a smile on his face.
Qi Xiao: "..."
