Chapter 75
At this sensitive moment, Shangguanyuan had no choice but to understand the current affairs and accept all the emperor's established propositions, and brought Qianru and Liu Jiajun to live in the original Anhou Mansion together.

This mansion is one of the few large gardens in the capital. Even if a piece of it is designated as Huwei Camp, it is still a mansion compound.

As soon as he stepped here, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Qianru's eyes were full of tears when she saw everything here, and she looked like a ghost.

It made him always think of the scene of digging up his ex-wife's grave, and what An Xingdao said in the prison.

But Qianru was distracted after seeing Shangguan Yuan coming in, and her expression was in a trance, giving her the feeling that there was a ghost in her heart.

He couldn't help but think of the situation where Shangguan Yuan's horse knelt and died in front of the grave of his previous life.

I feel uneasy.

She kept praying to God not to play tricks on her too much, and hoped that Shangguan Yuan had nothing to do with Anhou Mansion's Miemen.

Shangguan Yuan was uncomfortable with her, and she was also uncomfortable with him.

Therefore, Qianru took food and drink every day to take chances outside the prison.

This is all thanks to Shangguan Yuan's title of Marquis of Yongzhong, otherwise, she would not even be able to approach the gate of such a place.

Unexpectedly, after going there for a few days, the emperor was alarmed and sent to Qinzheng Palace for questioning.

As soon as she entered, she saw the murderous intent on the emperor's face, and her father and husband who knelt on the ground obediently and did not even dare to lift their heads. She knew that she had caused trouble.

"Yongzhonghou, what do you think I should do with your restless wife?"

"My wife is innocent."

Shangguan Yuan's categorical reply instantly dissipated the resentment that had accumulated in Qianru's heart for many days.

The emperor asked Antai again, and Antai also said that Qianru was innocent.

"If you all think she is innocent, then you are all guilty and have the intention of treason."

The emperor scolded them angrily, with a tangled look of wanting to kill but unwilling to kill, wanting to hit but afraid of being hurt.

Qianru understood that the emperor valued Antai and Shangguanyuan, so he deliberately called her away, and asked her to accept the punishment on her own initiative for the sake of her father and husband's future, and then retreated despite the difficulties.

But how could she just watch her good sister die in vain?
Since the emperor was reluctant to part with Antai and Shangguanyuan, she had to seize this opportunity to ask for a favor.

So, she prepared some words that were against her will, and remonstrated directly.

It is said that King Gui is arrogant and domineering, but he has no intention of rebellion. If he has a different intention, he can rebel in a triumphant return when he is in control of the army. There is no need to wait for someone to catch him.

Besides, he is a prince, according to the laws of the Daxuan Dynasty, he is listed among the Eight Discussions, and he has a lot of party members, so he can be easily hooked for serious crimes, so there is no need to take the risk of rebellion
In a few words, the eldest grandson Ji is described as an elder who is proud of his merits, but has made great contributions to the country.

Now that he made a mistake and died, his big mistake has been made up for, so he shouldn't have to implicate his only sick and weak son, his already pitiful and innocent daughter-in-law.

Antai also spoke out against indiscriminate killing.

Changsun's face turned pale with anger, and he caught the silent Shangguan Yuan and asked, "Do you think Changsun Ji should be killed or kept?"

"The emperor governs the country with benevolence, and the ministers don't think that a sick child should be implicated."

Seeing that their family was united as one, the eldest grandson was furious, and ordered someone to drag them down and beat them with twenty sticks, and then took them back to Qinzheng Hall to give a lecture.

If you change your mouth after being beaten up, isn't the punishment for nothing?
Qianru was not reconciled, and still insisted on it.

Just when Changsun Lue was about to impose the cane punishment again, Queen Shen's father, Zhennan Hou Shenchao, came to see him in armor.

Because of the case of King Gui, thousands of people have been arrested in the past few days, and the meritorious generals are all in danger. Those who have fiefs are rushing back to the fiefs, and those who have old ministries are contacting the old ministries.

Shenhou said that this was a harbinger of the coming chaos, and he had no choice but to serve the country in armor.

As soon as the words fell, the emperor received dozens of princes requesting to return to the fief.

"I just want to leave after handing over the paperwork. Do you still have the emperor in your eyes?"

The eldest grandson flipped through the memorial in hysterics, but the result was that these people had already left, and the memorial was just a retreat arranged by Jin Chan after she got out of her shell.

Shen Hou said: "The emperor has two major mistakes. First, he should not have allowed King Luo, who presided over the case of An Xingdao, to deal with the case of King Gui. Second, the son of King Gui has long surrendered himself to the palace to plead guilty. Afterwards, he was also put in prison. These two mistakes have greatly lost the hearts of the people!"

Seeing the unwillingness and remorse on Changsun Lue's face, Qianru seized the opportunity, tactfully made the best use of the situation, and urged her father Antai to lobby the emperor to issue a decree to pardon Changsunji and his wife.

Changsun Lue also went down the donkey and handed over the trial power of King Gui's case to Dali Temple, so that Duke Rong Guo and King Luo could supervise the trial together.

After stepping down, Marquis Shen kept praising Qianru for being smart.

She didn't dare to show off, and said aggrievedly that she only wanted to save her good sister Xiangxiang.

Shen Hou praised her for being affectionate and righteous, and flattered her.

On the way back, An Tai also praised her, saying that the proudest thing in his life is having her as a daughter.

Qianru felt very sorry for her selfishness, which caused them to be beaten and praised.

An Tai said that she should praise her.

"The crisis this time was all caused by the emperor's eagerness to cut down the vassal. The emperor was eager to pass me up to the court, and he was eager to label King Gui before the matter was clarified. In fact, I only found out some corruption and dereliction of duty by Gui County officials. That's all, alas!"

"Who is so bold to kill King Gui?"

"One is said to be killed by King Luo, and another is said to be killed by King Gui himself who stumbled and fell to his death." An Tai said, "No matter what, everyone who had a secret meeting with King Gui in his private house that night was killed."

"King Gui has fallen, and now the court is divided between Duke Rong and King Luo. The emperor's situation has not changed, and his father-in-law has contradicted him again. Therefore, it is not that you have troubled us, but that the emperor wants to use you to deal with us." .”

An Tai felt that Shangguan Yuan had underestimated the emperor's wisdom. In his opinion, what happened today was that the emperor was looking for a step down by himself.

Qianru also thinks this is the case. After all, the crisis has emerged. Even if the emperor releases Chang Sunji and his wife and replaces the chief judge, it may not be able to turn the tide.

Moreover, Marquis Shen looked relaxed when he left, as if he had triumphantly triumphant.

Only halfway through the journey, a palace carriage came galloping to stop them, and then stuffed Changsun Ji and Xiangxiang into their carriage.

Both of them were tortured and were dying, as if they would die at any moment.

They are all pardoned, why not give away the mansion?To be stuffed into their wagons?

Qianru doesn't mind taking care of them, but the emperor's approach is really weird.

In case something happened to Changsun Ji, or if the King Gui case was repeated again, Shangguan Yuan could not escape being involved.

Changsun Lue's arrangement in this way undoubtedly bound them firmly with Changsun Ji.

What is his intention?
For the first time, Qianru felt the insidiousness of Changsun Lue.

This insidiousness makes people unpredictable, but also faintly chills.
