Feng Xi couldn't say that she didn't want to hear about the choices made by the Xie family members, but she could only say that she didn't care at all.
She even felt that Qi Xiao was just fishing for law enforcement, deliberately luring out those who had ulterior motives.
It's not her job anyway, she doesn't care what Qi Xiao is thinking.
Just like this, another five days passed, and the quarrel in the court about whether to blockade Shengjing finally ended.
Because Li Cifu and others no longer report, after all, it has been ten days, and the assassins who can escape from the princess's mansion are almost healed of their injuries. What is the use of sealing the city?
"Li Cifu, why are you so angry? Aren't you just a little assassin? If the Princess Mansion can't catch him now, won't he be able to catch him in the future?"
"Shoufu Fang is right. The powerful consort will definitely be able to arrest and bring the assassin to justice for His Highness Zhaoming. Why should I wait in the court and worry about His Highness?"
"Be patient, everyone be patient. Isn't the princess okay?"
…
Seeing officials from the other two families making sarcastic remarks under the leadership of the Fang and Chu families, Li Cifu and others were still there and did not show any signs of anger.
Because Zhao Xi soon read out the instructions that Qi Xiao had handed to Emperor Shengde this morning, requesting that Shen Ge and other fraudsters be punished as soon as possible.
Among them, Shen Ge and Chu Ming were the chief culprits. Qi Xiao directly ordered them to have their homes confiscated and beheaded. Their children, concubines, and concubines were not made official slaves.
Of course, apart from Feng Yuan, the princess of the Tian family, Chu Ming's wife also had to be an official slave.
Although Su Guang, who stole the test questions, was not the culprit, his behavior was really bad and must be severely punished to serve as a warning to others.
Therefore, Qi Xiao's suggestion was to dismiss his official position and confiscate his family, and send the whole family into exile in a smog-infested land.
Along with Su Guang, Yu Quande was dismissed from office and exiled, as well as a group of petty officials and servants involved in the case.
It's just that they don't bring harm to their families, and they are the only ones who are exiled.
Zhao Xi has a high-pitched voice and deliberately prolongs the ending of every sentence he reads, especially when he reads Shen Ge at the end.
The Liangmai officials, who were so complacent just a moment ago and felt panicked when they saw Li Cifu and others being defeated, suddenly stopped laughing.
Especially the chief assistant Fang Qian and the official minister Chu Yu.
One is Shen Ge and the other is Chu Ming.
One is Fang Gan's grandson-in-law, and the other is Chu Yu's third brother.
They have tried every means to send people to suppress the Dali Temple to interrogate the case, and at the same time sent more people to search for the other party...
Who knows that the Princess Mansion has used some method to cover it up, so that they have not been able to find the person so far.
Now, he bypassed the cabinet and handed the information directly to the emperor, and asked Zhao Xi, the eunuch who held the seal, to read it out in court.
It can be said that the Princess Mansion's move was a slap in the face to both of them.
The Jokhang Palace, which had been quiet for a while, suddenly started to quarrel again.
But this time it was not to assassinate the princess, but to chop off the heads of Shen and Ge.
On the other hand, Emperor Sheng De still looked sickly. He even put his hands casually in the tubes of his sleeves, so no one could grab a handful of melon seeds for him.
Originally, today was also a day for Feng Xi to do nothing and lie down leisurely in the sun.
However, there were three people inside and outside the palace who tried their best to send a message, requesting to come to the side hall of Yangxin Palace to see her.
Her answer is also very simple:
"What's so good about me? I don't have two eyes, one mouth, two ears and two legs~"
Tian Xi, who was delivering the message, felt helpless and hurriedly said:
"Oh, my princess! You don't know how valuable you are now, let alone outside. Even if the queen in this palace wants to see you, it depends on your mood!"
Hearing this, Feng Xi nodded:
"It makes sense, then why don't you hurry up and tell them that I'm in a bad mood today and won't see any guests?"
Tianxi: "..."
Okay, okay...
Feng Xi thought that this matter would be over, but at the same time the next afternoon, the invitation message from the three people came in again.
"To be honest, I'm in such a good mood today that I don't want them to ruin my good mood, so I'd better disappear."
Tianxi: "..."
It's rare that you even casually made up a reason.
The third day, the fourth day, the fifth day...
Feng Xi went from making up excuses to saying she didn't want to see him, but the three of them still persevered.
Finally on the sixth day, Feng Xi compassionately asked Tian Xi which three people were so persistent in wanting to see her.
Tianxi: "..."
I'm sorry that I reported it seriously for five days, but you didn't listen at all, right?
Fortunately, Tianxi has always been a good-tempered father-in-law, and he is used to the free and easy nature of his own princess, so he quickly introduced her loudly:
"Returning to the princess, the ones who came to see me are Concubine Liu Xian, the wife of the mighty general and the wife of the former imperial censor."
Feng Xi tilted her head:
"What are they doing here to see me? Are they going to poison me?"
Except for the inexplicable Concubine Liu Xian, Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Chu have a son and a husband in her hands. They must have a grudge against her, right?
"Hey, princess, what are you saying? Bah, bah, bah, poison you? How dare they! How can you kill yourself! It's unlucky, unlucky!"
Tianxi was also a little scared when she saw her own princess talking about "poisoning" and "assassination".
When he found out that someone wanted to attack their princess, he was almost scared out of his mind.
In order not to let Feng Xi continue to bury herself, Tian Xi hurriedly said:
"After hearing what Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Chu said, I must have wanted to ask you to let Prince Consort Shen and Chu Yushi go. And Concubine Liu Xian must have been invited by them to witness..."
Seeing the expression on Feng Xi's face that said, "Are you kidding me?" Tian Xi could only sneer and say:
"If they want something from you, they will naturally have to give you enough benefits. It just depends on whether you and your consort are willing to accept these benefits."
There are always some rules in officialdom that ordinary people don't know about, especially the privileged classes like Shen Ge and Chu Ming.
It can be said that if they hadn't kicked Feng Xi's iron plate, they probably wouldn't even be in jail.
However, the Princess's family had already broken the blockade six days ago and directly brought the matter to court.
This shows that Qi Xiao does not intend to delay any longer. He really wants to convict Shen Ge and Chu Ming, and it is a serious crime of confiscating homes and beheadings.
For a big family like the Chu family and the Shen family, it is strange that they can accept this result.
However, after all, the Chu family is not only the third branch of the Chu family, but the prince's lineage is not only dependent on the Shen family. Therefore, it is true that the prince and the fourth prince attach great importance to Shen Ge, but they are definitely not as important as their mother and wife.
After all, one force is divided into factions and has many considerations, but in the eyes of real relatives, the lives of Shen and Ge are still important.
This is why they went to find Concubine Liu Xian as a matchmaker and tried every means to deliver news to Feng Xi.
Maybe Qixiao Pass is just too sad?
Feng Xi only has one sentence for this:
"So they think I will have an easy time at this level? I can only say that their plans are broken~"
