The emperor looked gloomy, showing deep dissatisfaction.

He pointed at Concubine Rong: "I believe in you, so I will hand over the management of the Sixth Palace to your hands."

"It's better for you, since I'm not in the palace, you can do whatever you want."

“Teacher Ye is a pillar of the imperial court and a veteran of two dynasties. Are you so ruthless as to send his granddaughter to Zhaori Tower for confinement?”

"The most serious mistake you made was that you punished Shen Ningning too!"

"Don't you know how much my Ling Wei cares about Shen Ningning? As soon as he heard something happened to her, he even had to rush back to the palace alone."

"I originally arranged for the local eminent monk to pray for him, but you were harmed by your stupidity. He rushed back all night. If you become seriously ill, I can't spare you!"

Concubine Rong covered her swollen cheeks and shed tears.

She did not argue for herself, but said haggardly: "Your Majesty, I am guilty of this concubine, please punish me."

 The eldest maid next to Concubine Rong, Jinzhen, hurriedly knelt down to plead for mercy.

“Your Majesty, your Majesty is unjust! The Ninth Prince and your Majesty were copying Buddhist scriptures to offer sacrifices to heaven and pray for blessings a month ago because of the illness of His Highness the Crown Prince.”

"However, when I was about to send it to Zhaori Tower, I lost it by Lady Ye. All the efforts of the Empress and Your Highness were in vain."

"The empress was afraid that this would be unlucky and offend the gods, so she asked Lady Ye to kneel outside the palace for a while. However, the empress herself fell ill first, and she had just woken up before the emperor came back."

Jinzhen said, wiping her tears and feeling sorry for Concubine Rong.

The emperor's face was still gloomy: "As you said, Ye Changyi was allowed to kneel outside for a moment. Why were the two of them imprisoned in the Sunlight Tower in the end?"

Concubine Rong choked up and said, "I blame my concubine for this. At that time, Chang Yi lost the scriptures and it started to snow heavily."

"I was afraid that it would be bad luck, so I asked her to kneel down and worship the gods and Buddhas in the Zhaori Pagoda. However, my health was not good enough and I fell ill and fainted."

“The palace officials were also frightened and panicked, so they forgot them in the Zhaori Tower.”

"Your Majesty, if you want to punish me, punish me. I failed to arrange everything and betrayed the trust of the Emperor..." At this point, she shed tears and sobbed.

Jinzhen quickly knelt down and took out the scriptures that the Ninth Prince had copied from the bookshelf on the side.

"Your Majesty, I really don't blame the empress. The slaves knew that the scriptures were to pray for the health of His Highness the Crown Prince, and to pray to the gods that the cold disaster would pass quickly. Therefore, the slaves searched for it all night and finally found the scriptures. ."

Jinzhen unfolded it, and the straight handwriting on it was the copy of the Buddhist scripture copied by the Ninth Prince that Ye Changyi had lost.

 Hearing that it was copied for Mo Lingwei, the emperor's complexion improved a little.

 “You are thoughtful about your courtesy.” The emperor praised in a deep voice: “Brothers, friends, and brothers are respectful, which is exactly what I want to see.”

 After saying that, he stretched out his hand to pull Concubine Rong up.

"The little girl of the Ye family is careless and deserves to be punished, but next time, you have to pay attention to your approach and not be too ruthless."

Concubine Rong lowered her head weakly: "I know I was wrong."

The emperor hummed and walked into the inner hall with Concubine Rong to discuss Buddhism.

Jinzhen breathed a sigh of relief and went to prepare hot tea.

at the same time.

Shen Ningning, who was sleeping soundly at Xie's house, suddenly woke up in a daze.

"Well, I want to put some water in the latrine..." The little guy turned over and crawled out of bed with his little **** stuck out in confusion.

She put on her clothes and walked out of the room.

At that moment, I was awakened by the cold wind.

 Fortunately, I just ate a piece of spiritual grass yesterday and my face felt cold.

Shen Ningning carried the little rabbit lantern that Xie Mingxu had made for her when he was still alive, and wandered along the corridor towards the latrine.

Sudden.

 She heard a clicking noise behind her.

 Shen Ningning turned around suddenly, but there was nothing.

 The empty corridor, with only a few lanterns swaying in the wind.

 The little guy thought he heard wrongly.

She took two more steps, and there was another voice behind her, as if someone was following her.

 When she walks, the other side also walks; when she stops, the other side also stops!

Late Spring and Late Spring both lived in the second room in the yard. As long as Shen Ningning shouted, they would come over.

 However, the little one is only afraid that if she shouts rashly against a bad person, she will be caught by him instead.

Shen Ningning rolled her eyes and had an idea.

She was walking, then suddenly broke into a quick trot until she turned the corner of the corridor.

 The sound behind him turned from a clicking sound to a huffing sound.

It seemed like he was running after Shen Ningning.

However, as soon as the shadow passed the corner, it was hit hard by the little guy ambushing around the corner with a small rabbit lantern.

 Hit it right in the head! A muffled sound of "dong".

The dark thing fell to the ground.

Shen Ningning's small round face was serious. When she looked at it carefully, she was suddenly stunned.

 “Huh? It’s Pei Yin’s eagle.”

The eagle on the ground had strong wings and its wings were paralyzed. Shen Ningning just hit her on the head with a stick and almost lost her life.

 When Shen Ningning came back from the hut, the eagle was still lying on the ground.

 The little guy can only carry it back to the room first.

After roasting in the stove for a while, the eagle gradually recovered, shook its wings, and finally stood up.

"Are you following me back? If you understand, just nod."

 Eagle nodded.

Shen Ningning pouted: "You have a master, why are you still following me?"

The eagle opened its mouth, as if it wanted to scream, but held back.

Just looking at the little guy with those bird eyes, trying to make her think of herself.

Shen Ningning paused and suddenly understood.

“Do you want me to give you something to eat?” She remembered and promised the eagle that he would bring her letters and beef jerky!

The eagle spread its wings excitedly and showed its might, giving Shen Ningning a positive response.

Shen Ningning casually took out two pieces of beef jerky and placed them on the ground, and the eagle started to peck at them.

 After eating, it was not enough, so he continued to look at Shen Ningning.

 The little guy finally had to take out two chicken legs from the fairyland and put them on the ground.

 It is raw meat, but the eagle tastes more delicious.

 When it finished eating, it really didn’t want to leave. It flapped its wings and flew to the rafter, curled up its neck and planned to sleep here.

Shen Ningning raised her little head and said with sparkling eyes, "You can't stay with me. I have a wolf at home who likes to catch birds."

The eagle fluttered its feathers and didn't care.

Shen Ningning looked at this posture and felt that she was probably being targeted by this lazy eagle.

 It is not impossible to give it food, but it cannot be given for free.

The wolf at home will also help grandma do something.

Shen Ningning touched her chin and thought for a moment.

 “Yes!” Her eyes lit up.

Let the eagle deliver the message to Qi Xiuwei for her!

Previously, it was Qi Xiuwei who arranged for a maid to inform Shen Ningning, so the little guy knew that Ye Changyi was punished.

I believe Qi Xiuwei must also be worried about the results.

 Ask the eagle to bring the letter to her, so that she can rest assured. By the way, it will also deepen her friendship with Pei Yin.

 Qi Xiuwei will definitely be very happy.

Shen Ningning was no longer sleepy immediately, ran to the table, picked up her pen and started writing.

The eagle stood on the rafter, looking at the sparkle in the little guy's eyes, and tilted his head in confusion.

 The next day.

Xie Mingan went to Dali Temple for work. Before he could enter, he was stopped by Chen Weiji, who was looking sad.

Chen Weiji chased Xie Mingan all the way into the government office of Dali Temple.

"Master Shaoqing, do you have to punish Wei Chen? Wei Chen is willing to pay back the silver he owes. Please don't embarrass Wei Chen again!"

Hearing this, Xie Mingan stopped and looked at him coldly.

"Chen Weiji, accepting bribes is a taboo in officialdom. If it hadn't been for this thorough investigation, I wouldn't have known that every time you handled the case, silver would be deducted from it, adding up to a thousand taels."

“I advise you not only to pay back the money, but also to write a memorial stating your guilt to the emperor. Otherwise, I will definitely present these evidences to the emperor.”

 As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves and left.

Chen Weiji saw that he was so unreasonable and became furious: "Xie Mingan! You are so arrogant."

"I have no enmity with you. You targeted me as soon as you came back. But since you accepted my gift, why are you still so unkind? Do you think I didn't give enough?"

Xie Mingan frowned fiercely and turned to look at him: "Who accepted your gift?"

Their two voices attracted the rest of the officials and soldiers of Dali Temple.

Chen Weiji chuckled twice: "Why do you pretend to be so Qingfeng Jiyue? If you take away my things, you can find out when you go home and ask!"

"You said it was against the rules for me to accept bribes, but what about you? What does it mean if you accept my things?"
