Pei Mianman was anxious. She still underestimated the emperor and Zhu Xie's ruthlessness. She originally thought that they would not dare to expose Zu An's status as the gold medal 11 in front of all the civil and military officials, but she didn't expect that they would directly do it. He took the last step and moved her to another room, so that even if there was any problem, he would not have the chance to speak.
Pei Shao is also anxious. Once she checks next door, her identity will be exposed, and then the Pei family will be finished.
But now Zhu Xie has spoken with all his heart, the emperor has acquiesced, and everyone in the court is watching, and he can't find a reason to stop him.
At this time, the Crown Princess Bi Linglong also spoke in the audio and video mirror: "I think this is inappropriate. The messenger of embroidered clothes has always represented the majesty of the court, let alone the gold medal embroidered clothes. How can he be inspected at will just because of a word."
Now all the civil and military officials have tasted it. It seems that there is indeed something wrong with this gold medal eleven, but what the princess said is not unreasonable.
Soon there was another heated debate in the court, and in the end Zhu Xie said with all his heart: "Our embroidered messengers have always been synonymous with fairness and loyalty, and we cannot let people doubt it. This has shaken the reputation that has been formed over the years. In comparison, , personal honor and disgrace are nothing, I believe the gold medal 11 can also understand."
Just as Pei Mianman was about to say, "I don't understand," Pei Shao had already stepped forward to smooth things over: "In that case, I will follow you and be a witness."
At the same time, he sent a voice message to Pei Mianman: "You have tried your best. Stop messing around. Otherwise, if you are exposed, not only you and me, but also other brothers and sisters in the family will be implicated. Can you bear it?"
He thought about finding a chance to have a good chat with her when he was free. He was obviously going to be engaged to the Crown Prince of Qi, but when did he have such a good relationship with Zu An that he would take such a big risk to stand up for her.
Although he and Pei Mianman did not have any father-daughter relationship due to various past events, they were named father and daughter after all. He thought that his beautiful daughter, who was raised in a boudoir, had such a relationship with another man without his knowledge. In this situation, I suddenly felt like my home was being stolen.
After hearing his words, all the officials in the court agreed. He was from the Pei family and had always been friendly with the King of Qi. Moreover, he was neither close to Xu Yu nor Sang Hong. It was perfect for him to be the referee. .
Pei Mianman hesitated to speak. She really didn't care about this so-called father, but after living in the Pei family for so many years, many old servants watched her grow up, and even some brothers and sisters sometimes took care of her. If If it was really because of herself that these people ended up miserable, how could she feel good about it?
But after leaving like this, wouldn't Azu's crime be completely confirmed?
At this moment, a hearty voice came: "I heard that there is a meeting here to discuss my affairs. How can I be missing as the protagonist?"
Hearing this familiar voice, Pei Mianman shuddered and hurriedly looked back. Who was that familiar figure if it wasn't Zu An?
Bi Linglong was also full of surprises. She had always been curious about why Zu An disappeared suddenly, and she even had some doubts about whether he was really greedy for the most beautiful woman in the capital and did something stupid. Now that she saw him back here, she felt so confused. The anxiety and worries of the day completely disappeared.
Sang Hong's tense body also completely relaxed. He has been pretending to be calm these days. Others may still imagine that he is only missing for a short time and hopes to come back at any time. But he knows better than anyone else that Zu An is indeed a demon. clan, so he is more desperate than anyone else.
After he relaxed, he noticed the coolness on his back. It turned out that his clothes had already been wet with cold sweat.
What he was most curious about now was how Zu An came back in just one night.
The joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same. They are happy, but the officials of King Qi's line are crestfallen. Only King Qi is calm. Ever since he discovered that the emperor's line seems to be bent on putting his ancestors to death, he began to think about it. The reason behind this is that he is not in a hurry to deal with Zu An.
Xu Yu was shocked: "You...why are you here?"
He was very sure that it was Zu An who rescued Yu Yanluo before. Although the information from the spies from the Monster Clan was vague, it could be concluded that Zu An and Yu Yanluo returned to the Snake Clan together. How could they possibly come back?
Thinking about the fact that there were fake gold medals on the eleventh day, he even suspected that the Zu An in front of him was also a fake. There was no such thing as disguise in the world.
Zu An laughed: "I was originally a member of the imperial envoy, sent to handle matters in Yunzhong County. Isn't it normal to appear here? Why, Mr. Xu seems to really not want me here."
At the same time, he gave Pei Mianman a reassuring look. The two were so familiar that they recognized each other as his Da Manman almost instantly.
Xu Yu's face was gloomy and he didn't reply.
Yichong, the censor Zhongcheng, had been silent since he first spoke, but now he spoke again: "Master Zu showed up just in time. Today's meeting is to study how you broke into prison to rescue the witch Yu Yanluo and colluded with the monsters to betray the imperial court. , do you have anything to say now?"
"Of course I have something to say!" Zu An said loudly, and a group of ministers pricked up their ears to listen to what he had to say. Who knew that he directly or indirectly said in a deep voice, "That's nonsense!"
Yi Chong frowned, and Zhao Shu, the Duke of Jiyang County on the side, had already scolded: "Master Zu, this is the court. Please pay attention to your words. No matter what you say, you must provide evidence. Don't curse here like some low-level people."
Zu An snorted: "You want to tell me the evidence? Did you tell me the evidence before when you arranged for me to collude with the demon clan and commit treason? Now you are pretending to tell me the evidence?"
Zhao Shu was suddenly at a loss for words. He was born in a royal family and was a dignified duke. To be contradicted by a viscount like this, he couldn't help but lose his face.
Fortunately, Xu Yu helped him out at this time: "Do you want evidence? It's very simple."
After speaking, he clapped his hands and several servants were brought up: "These are some servants of the imperial embassy. They usually prepare meals for each room, even clean and change bedding. According to their testimony, Yuyan When Luo was kidnapped, you happened not to be in the room, and during the time she disappeared, you also disappeared. How can there be such a coincidence in the world."
Sang Hong's expression changed slightly. Even though he was careful, he still sent some spies in.
Zu An sneered: "Mr. Xu, you are still the second-in-command of a county, and you don't seem to be very familiar with business. Can these things be used as evidence?"
"This evidence is indeed a bit weak," Xu Yu said, "but there are also the guards who guarded Yu Yanluo that night. They saw with their own eyes that although they could not see the appearance of the prisoner, his figure was exactly the same as Master Zu. "
Zu An laughed: "The figure is exactly the same as mine? Commander, even if the embroidered messenger is handling the case, can this be used as evidence?"
Zhu Xie Chixin's face was gloomy, but he still said: "This alone is indeed difficult to use as evidence."
Xu Yu seemed to have gotten a hint: "In addition, before this, Mr. Zu openly interceded for Yu Yanluo several times and tried to save her even if her demon identity was exposed. These people in the Yunzhong County officialdom can see it. In my eyes, they are all witnesses.”
The officials under his command waved flags and shouted.
At this time, Bi Linglong said coldly: "Master Xu has been talking about these gossipy things. If this can convict the court officials, it would be too disrespectful of the court."
There were more officials under her command, and the support was naturally greater than Xu Yu's.
Zu Anxin thought it would be really convenient to have a confidante who was a big boss, since he had so many subordinates.
He smiled at Bi Linglong, and the others only regarded it as the gratitude of his subordinates. Only Bi Linglong's face was slightly red, knowing that the look in his eyes was something only the two of them understood.
At this time, Eunuch Wen's shrill voice sounded again: "Quiet!"
Only then did the emperor speak: "It's not appropriate to make a noise. If there is no new evidence, then Zu Aiqing is naturally innocent, so the meeting will be over."
Sang Hong had a feeling of surviving a disaster. He never expected that things would turn out unexpectedly. Just when he was about to congratulate Zu An, Xu Yu gritted his teeth and took out a secret letter: "There is still evidence. My spies came from Snake The intelligence sent back by the tribe despite their own death records in detail the circumstances of Yu Yanluo’s return, and there was a human man with him, whose appearance was exactly the same as Zu An’s. The key is that Yu Yanluo affectionately called him Azu.”
