The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 184 Let You See It Clearly
"Teacher!"

Ning Yuezhao did not expect that Yan Zhenglang's entry into the palace would be to beg her for such a thing.

Yan Zhenglang seemed to have aged a lot overnight, and his original vigor had disappeared a lot, replaced by helplessness and powerlessness.

"It's enough for His Majesty to do this for the little girl. In the face of the big picture, fame and fame are nothing but floating clouds."

Having said that, Jiang Qixi also looked at Ning Yuezhao with the same pleading in his eyes.

Ning Yuezhao looked at the two of them steadily, her palms gradually tightened.

If it is still necessary to get rid of Qingchi's title of No. [-] Scholar, then what's the point of her insistence last night?
"Teacher, I firmly believe that Qingchi is innocent."

A trace of regret flashed in Yan Zhenglang's eyes, "As a father, I also firmly believe that she is innocent; as a subject of Daxing, I insist that the overall situation is the most important thing!"

Ning Yuezhao was silent for a while, and finally shook her head, "I can still control the overall situation! If I compromise now, then what's the point of my insistence last night!"

"Your Majesty!" Yan Zhenglang straightened his back and looked at Ning Yuezhao in disbelief.He knew that his student was a person who valued affection, but he never expected that she would be so persistent for his daughter.This time, even if Qingchi can't get rid of his grievances in the end, his Yan family will swear allegiance to the empress to the death!
Jiang Qixi thought of a compromise, "Your Majesty, now that the list of Jinshi has been announced to the world, you might as well expel Miss Yan for the time being, and it won't be too late to restore her fame after two days when Miss Yan is innocent... "

Before he finished speaking, Ning Yuezhao had already waved his hand, "I've made up my mind, you two lovers don't need to say any more!"

After finishing speaking, Ning Yuezhao sent a decree to Zuo Ming to send a team of imperial troops to the front of the ceremony department. If the students were just shouting and protesting, then there is no need to use force, just restrain them so as not to cause trouble.

After all, those students who were emotional were helpless scholars. When they saw the guards of the imperial army facing each other, they had no other choice but to shout louder.

These guards have long been ordered by the commander, and they have the right to ignore the words of the students.At night, the students who had shouted all day were also tired, but the guards of the imperial army were changing shifts one after another.

The next day, the students also used the wheel battle, planning to shout in front of the etiquette department day and night.These are all scholars, and they don't use dirty words at all when they scold people.But no matter what they say, the imperial guards are like clay sculptures and wood carvings, as if they have never heard of it. Even the officials who enter and leave the Ministry of Rites, because of the guards of the imperial guards, are no different from going to and from the yamen.

When the twilight of the day was approaching, the scholar who took the lead suddenly said: "Oops, I got caught in a plan to slow down the army!"

Although the rest of the students were impulsive, they were not ignorant people, and they immediately realized what was going on!
"It's unreasonable, the Son of Heaven is fooling us!" Someone said indignantly.

"Then let's go to Fuque to write a letter to let His Majesty know that we scholars cannot be bullied!"

The so-called Fu Que's letter refers to students drafting a letter of love, kneeling under the palace of the imperial city, and petitioning the emperor!
"Wait!" The leading scholar raised his arms and said, "Two days ago, the six important ministers knelt outside the Meridian Gate for a night. If His Majesty would change his mind because of this, how could Yan Qingchi still be at the top of the list!"

"Are we going to compromise? I'm not reconciled to the ten-year cold window!"

The leading scholar made a quiet movement, and stood in front of the etiquette department with his hands behind his back, "Everyone, the Son of Heaven is self-willed, we must not be like her. Everyone go back to rest tonight, and wait outside Shuntian Mansion tomorrow. If there is any injustice in this case It's not too late to write a letter to Fu Que!"

Faced with the sudden change of attitude of the leading scholar, someone asked suspiciously: "Brother Wang, could it be that he took advantage of someone and why did he choose to help the emperor? Then why have we persisted for the past two days?"

Wang Shusheng couldn't help but find it funny when he heard the words, "I didn't take advantage of anyone, but now we can't get any benefits if we continue here. If you think you have the ability to defeat these forbidden troops, I have nothing to say .”

After speaking, he didn't care whether these people believed it or not, so he threw up his sleeves and left.

The rest of the people looked at each other in blank dismay, and finally most of them followed Wang Shusheng's pace and left.

This news was quickly brought to the palace by the guards present, Ning Yuezhao pondered for a while, "This scholar is a smart one, go and find out where he comes from."

In the dark of night, inside the prison of Shuntian Mansion.

Qingchi was sitting on the haystack with his knees hugged, looking up at the night sky outside through the iron window on the wall.

She has been locked here for three days, and Lu Ji has never interrogated her, and Aqi is locked up in the men's prison. I don't know what's going on with him.She didn't bother to ask the jailer for outside news, anyway, the left and right were already dead.

Suddenly, there was the sound of gentle footsteps from outside, Qingchi raised his head to look, and saw a person wearing a vermilion official robe, walking out of the darkness, like a ray of light, illuminating the gloomy world.

The person who came was Lu Ji, he stopped outside the prison, quietly looking at Qingchi through the wooden fence.

Qingchi sat cross-legged instead, looked at him with a smile, "Come to see me off for the last time?"

Lu Ji sank into the water, took out a bunch of keys from his sleeve, and opened the cell door.

He walked up to Qingchi and looked down at her, "Are you really pleading guilty like that?"

Qingchi raised her eyes to look at the man above, her handsome face was obviously sullen, she still smiled to herself, "I did it, why don't I admit it? Even Your Majesty can't forgive me."

Lu Ji said coldly: "You have tried so hard to protect someone, but he may not be so appreciative!"

The smile on the corner of Qingchi's mouth was slightly unnatural, but she quickly adjusted it, "I didn't cover anyone."

Lu Ji bent down, grabbed her arm, and pulled her up, "If you're so stubborn, I'll show you how stupid you are!"

After speaking, he couldn't help but pull Qingchi to go out.

"Where are you taking me?"

Qingchi was terrified, but he was no match for Lu Ji's strength, and was dragged by him to the back of the hall of Shuntian Mansion.

After standing still, Lu Ji firmly grasped Qingchi's arm, and pulled her to a hidden seat, which happened to be able to have a panoramic view of the situation in the front lobby, but the people in the lobby couldn't see them due to the angle restriction.

"What do you want to do?" Qingchi's eyes flashed a trace of uneasiness.

The corners of Lu Ji's lips pursed slightly, "Just look at it, don't make a sound! Of course, if you want me to gag you, you can say whatever you want!"

Seeing his firm expression and the wrist he was holding so tightly that he couldn't get rid of it, Qingchi didn't doubt the authenticity of his words, and immediately stopped talking.

It was already night, but the lobby was brightly lit.

Fu Cheng was sitting in Lu Ji's usual seat, with a serious face.

Soon, a person was brought up, and this person was the flower girl of the Green Bamboo Pavilion.

"Kneel down!" The yamen servant kicked her at the crook of the leg, and Hua Niang knelt down.

"My lord, what does this mean?" Hua Niang's face was full of anger, facing the murderous looking yamen servants who were holding water and fire sticks on both sides, she finally resisted and said, "Is this to torture to extract a confession? Civilian woman But the sufferer!"

Fu Cheng smiled, "Don't be nervous, it's just that the trial will start tomorrow, and there are some things that need to be clarified."

When Hua Niang heard this, she immediately calmed down a lot, "My lord, just ask."

The Fucheng said: "You said that little beggar Aqi is the young lady Yuqi in your restaurant. The official asked you how he turned into a little beggar and returned to your Green Bamboo Pavilion again?"

Speaking of Aqi, Hua Niang sighed softly: "It's a long story, this Yuqi was originally a son of an official family, and his family was in Qinzhou, Jiangnan, because his father was involved in the case, which affected his family. Sentenced to be sold into slavery. The adults also know that women are in the business of romance, and they always have to go and have a look at this kind of time.

At that time, the woman saw that he would be a talent when he grew up, so she bought him for 200 taels of silver and brought him back to the imperial capital for education.This year he turned 13 years old, three months ago the woman planned to let him hang out to pick up customers, who knows that this bitch looks honest, but is actually a scheming man, he has been obedient and obedient all these years, the woman didn't have too much Restricting his movements gave him a chance to escape. "

Lu Ji had already found out Aqi's status as an official slave. No one thought that the dying little beggar would have such a background.

Hua Niang continued: "The women have spent a lot of time cultivating Yuqi these years, how can they just let him run away like this! But they almost turned the emperor's capital upside down, and they still couldn't find anyone. Until a few days ago, someone told The woman said that she had seen Yuqi on Fu'an Street, so she sent someone to Fu'an Street to search for a few days and finally caught him. I don't know how he hooked up with the Taifu's daughter. That girl Yan was living and dying at that time Let the folk women take people away, but the people in my Green Bamboo House are not vegetarians."

She didn't finish her words, but the meaning was already obvious.

Lu Ji looked sideways at Qingchi, only to see that she lowered her eyes halfway, biting her lower lip lightly, thinking that she had suffered at the hand of Huaniang.

Fu Cheng frowned, "The day you found Yuqi was the day the Green Bamboo Pavilion caught fire?"

Hua Niang nodded, "The woman thought that the night would be long and dreamy, so she planned to let Yuqi be listed that night and make raw rice for cooked rice. After a long time, he will be honest."

She has been in the romantic business for more than ten years, and she knows that no matter how violent a person is, once they break the bottom line, they will gradually accept their fate.

Hua Niang said sadly: "But the housewife never thought that that Yan girl looked at Mian Shan, her heart was more cruel than anyone else, and the housewife's dependence for the rest of her life was ruined by her!"

"Okay, there's nothing else for you here, you can go! I'll pass you on tomorrow!" Fu Cheng waved his hand, he knew the rest of the matter, and didn't want to listen to Hua Niang's bitterness.

Hua Niang was dismissed before she could express her emotions.

Lu Ji looked at Qingchi coldly, "This is the person you protect as your younger brother, but he lied to you from the very beginning!"

Qingchi raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were actually cold, "What do you know, that kind of place, everyone will run away, and no one wants to go back, it's just human nature!"

Lu Ji's eyebrows sank slightly, and he said with a sneer, "I don't shed tears when I see the coffin, then you can see clearly!"

As his voice fell, another person was brought up, it was Aqi.

He was still wearing the crimson robe of that day, his thin figure was so weak that he couldn't bear it, his beautiful big eyes were full of panic, like a frightened deer, matching that beautiful face, aroused infinite pity.

Qingchi was about to rush out, wanting to comfort him, but unexpectedly her wrist was still tightly held by Lu Ji, so she could only watch at the moment.
