After losing her identity as the eldest princess, Princess Jingping could be said to hate Wen Ziran, her granddaughter, to her core.
When she woke up after fainting, she was so angry that she gave Wen Ziran two big ear scrapes, and ordered someone to put Wen Ziran under house arrest, forcing Wen Ziran to complete a hunger strike for five days and five nights.
She was anxiously trying to plead guilty to the emperor and make amends to Prince Ning, but she couldn't even get out of the gate of the princess mansion.
In desperation, Princess Jingping could only ask people to contact the queen and the prince, and contact the clansmen who had good relations with the eldest princess's house, hoping that they could work around it. Even if she could not return to the eldest princess's position, at least she should Lift her punishment.
The trees fell and the hozens scattered, and most of the letters sent were returned to the princess's mansion intact, including the queen and the prince.
What the East Palace needs is a collaborator who can help the prince and enable the prince to compete with Prince Ning, not a fool who has lost the aura and power of the eldest princess.
Princess Jingping was so angry that she cursed the queen and the prince for crossing the river, demolishing the bridge, unloading the mill and killing the donkey. She was thankful that other people accepted the letter. Now she can only hope that those people can come in handy.
However, what she didn't know was that as soon as those people got the letter, they either went to the palace to plead guilty or went to visit Prince Ning.
In a blink of an eye, the day of the palace examination came, and Wen Jinyang lived up to expectations and won the first place in the palace examination, becoming the number one scholar with a score of six yuan.
At this time, rumors emerged in the streets and alleys of the capital that the No. 1 scholar cheated in the exam and that Marquis Wen killed his niece and beat his parents violently.
Although the emperor is very optimistic about the father and son Wen Lan and Wen Jinyang, rumors are spreading now. In order to stop the public from talking about it, the necessary procedures must be followed.
This investigation also found the granddaughter of Princess Jingping.
As we all know, the granddaughter of Princess Jingping became enemies with the Wen family simply because the Wen family "blocked" their way in officialdom.
For this reason, she framed Lord Wen, slandered the number one scholar, and deceived the king. It was an unforgivable crime.
Pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, starting with Wen Ziran, they also found out that Princess Jingping formed a clique with the prince for personal gain when she was the eldest princess. She repeatedly slandered and assassinated Prince Ning, and also murdered other princes in an attempt to force the palace to usurp the throne.
On the other side, Princess Jingping waited anxiously in the palace. Instead of waiting for the emperor's pardon, she waited for the imperial edict to confiscate her house and confine her home.
This time, not only did she fail to regain the title of eldest princess, but she also lost her position as princess. She was demoted to a commoner and was imprisoned for life.
The confiscation of the princess's house and the parade of newly crowned scholars were carried out at the same time, and the common people all turned into melon-eaters. While being impressed by the demeanor of the new crown prince, they spread the word about the evil deeds done by the eldest princess and her family.
It is said that three people become tigers. Less than half an hour after the princess's house was confiscated, the charges for the house were changed from forming a clique to frame foreign ministers with the intention of rebellion to the eldest princess's ambition, the prince's consort surrendering to the enemy and treason, the queen and the prince aiding the evil in order to get help, and so on.
All in all, the entire situation was heading in the direction of killing the Nine Clan.
As for Wen Ziran, the person involved, she was sent to hell with a piece of white silk by her grandmother who hated her to the core before she even realized what was happening.
Until the moment she died, she was still talking about the system, the glass, and the position of princess that she had not yet waited for.
…
When the news of Wen Ziran's death reached the Wen family, Jin Yan was a little surprised.
"Dead again?"
Wen Jinyang nodded, "My father and I went to see him personally. He was locked up and fasted in the early stage, which caused severe physical collapse. Later, he was beaten many times until he was strangled to death. The marks on his neck cannot be faked."
Jin Yan couldn't help but sigh: "She is too sad, but she just died from the body of Hui'an County Lord, or..."
"Disappeared. King Ning sent out his three masters. They tried their best, but they couldn't find Wen Ziran." Wen Jinyang said.
Judging from the current situation, they did have a high regard for Wen Ziran at that time.
With Wen Ziran's intelligence, she could easily send herself to the grave without anyone else taking the initiative.
Afraid that Jin Yan would think too much, Wen Lan said, "Let's stop this matter. No one is allowed to mention it again in the future, and don't take it to heart."
Wen Ziran's origins are unknown, and he hides unknown secrets.
But what can be killed is nothing.
This time, she had better really disappear, otherwise what awaits her is just another beheading.
He would never allow any danger to threaten his children.
After the palace examination, Wen Jinyang wants to return to the village to worship his ancestors.
After more than half a year, they finally returned to Wenjia Village.
When Wen Lan and Wen Jinyang's clan members were discussing important matters, Jin Yan went out with Si Fengxuan who insisted on following them.
"Where were you that night?" Jin Yan asked.
Si Fengxuan also thought about that night. It was the first time he broke into Jin Yan's boudoir at night. Although a long time had passed, he always felt like it was yesterday.
After he told the location, Jin Yan followed him there. When he saw a large area that had been razed, Jin Yan deliberately sarcastically said: "Living in such a wilderness, you can only huddle in a 'narrow' place." In the carriage, the prince is really wronged."
"No grievance. Without that night, how could we be here now?" Si Fengxuan said.
Jin Yan: "..."
Jin Yan was speechless for a while, and was about to say go home when he heard movement in the distance.
After a while, He Shuzhou, who had also returned to his hometown to worship his ancestors, came to them.
"Your Majesty, He Shuzhou, pays homage to Your Majesty. Your Majesty may live a thousand years!"
When He Shuzhou saluted, the He clan members beside him were stunned. When they heard that Si Fengxuan was actually a prince, they all knelt down.
The crowd was bustling and noisy. Jin Yan quickly gave Si Fengxuan a wink, and Si Fengxuan asked them to retreat.
He Shuzhou was the last one to leave. Before leaving, he glanced at Jin Yan and Si Fengxuan with a complicated expression. A look of unwillingness flashed in his eyes. In the end, he just clenched his fists and turned around to leave.
As soon as they left, Si Fengxuan said: "He took the initiative to apply for release, and the emperor agreed. I have to thank your brother for his understanding of justice and his upright speech, so that he left such a talented and caring person for the people in our Jing Dynasty." Second place."
Jin Yan: "..."
She looked at Si Fengxuan with determination, "My lord, do you smell a sour smell?"
Si Fengxuan: "Is there any? I didn't smell it."
Jin Yan shook his head and said suddenly: "I made a mistake. It's not a sour taste, it's a strange smell of yin and yang."
What does He Shuzhou pass in the exam, whether he stays in the capital or takes the initiative to go abroad, has anything to do with her. She can't cover other people's eyes and say they are not allowed to look at her, right?
Si Fengxuan: "..."
What's wrong with him being so yin and yang?
He Shuzhou was not as good as Wen Jinyang, but many dignitaries still offered him an olive branch and wanted to marry him.
Great opportunities were presented to him, but He Shuzhou refused them all without exception.
Some of those who were rejected became angry and criticized He Shuzhou for being ignorant.
But who knows, it's not that He Shuzhou is ignorant of good and evil, and it's not that he can't distinguish the evils of the times, he just can't let go of anyone.
I am still coughing and sputuming due to influenza A, and my body still hurts. I feel so tired every day that I feel like I can’t do anything. My health is so poor that it will take a long time to recover from illness. I’m very sorry that I can’t update normally. I’m sorry to everyone who is following me!
