Then the emperor sent someone to bring Du Ruonan from the prison here. Soon Du Ruonan was brought, not so much to be brought, but to be carried, and as soon as everyone saw Du Ruonan's appearance, they instantly took a breath of cool air.

In just three days, Du Ruonan and before entering, they were judged to be two.

She wasn't dressed like she was before she entered, but she wasn't as tattered as she was now, and there were blood stains on her clothes.

The red marks in front of him were eye-catching, and Su Zhiyu's heart was broken when he saw it.

"Ruonan, who is so ruthless."

Su Zhiyu ran to hug Du Ruonan and asked.

Su Mingyue and the second prince also hurriedly ran to support Du Ruonan, Du Ruonan smiled and said to several people that she was fine, but from her pale face, it could still be seen that she was not in a good situation now.

In addition, Concubine Jing asked her to withhold Du Ruonan's food, which made her even weaker.

"How so? Call the guards of the prison over, who made them treat Ruonan like this. ”

The emperor was also very shocked when he saw Du Ruonan's appearance, Du Ruonan was actually tortured under his nose, the point was that he didn't know.

"It was Concubine Jing who ordered us to treat her like this."

The officers of the day knelt down and said.

"Hmph, don't slander me, I told you to take good care of her that day, so you will take care of her like this?"

Concubine Jing shouted angrily.

Several people became more and more depressed at this time, and the care of Concubine Jing that day was obviously not the same as today, which made them not know what to do for a while.

"Someone came to put these people into the prison, and all the torture instruments were given to me again."

The emperor said impatiently.

Concubine Jing was also relieved at this time, but fortunately, the emperor did not blame herself.

And several people immediately knelt down and begged for mercy when they heard the emperor's sentence, but how could the emperor let them go. Seeing that the emperor did not waver at all, several people hurriedly begged Du Ruonan on the side, hoping that she could help them say some good things.

They knew to beg Du Ruonan at this time, why didn't they think about such a day when they tortured Du Ruonan two days ago.

"Your Majesty, let them go."

Du Ruonan straightened his waist and said to the emperor.

"Ruonan, what do you mean by that? They are the ones who beat you like this, why do you still plead with them? ”

The emperor didn't understand why Du Ruonan did this.

However, Du Ruonan was very determined, they just listened to Concubine Jing's words, all of which were instructed by Concubine Jing.

There are unjust debtors and owners, Du Ruonan knows who his enemy is.

"Since Ruonan has pleaded with a few of you, then let you live, but the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, and each person will be punished with thirty rods."

Seeing Du Ruonan's resolute attitude, the emperor apologized to Du Ruonan again, after all, he was tortured under his nose, so he agreed to Du Ruonan's request.

"Thank you for your kindness."

When several people heard this, they immediately knelt down to the emperor and said.

"She should be the one you want to thank."

The emperor pointed at Du Ruonan and said, and then several people hurriedly kowtowed to Du Ruonan and apologized again and again.

"Now that the matter is clear, so Du Ruonan is qualified to stand here, do you still have any doubts about her? If so, say it now, and if anyone does it again, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

The emperor said to everyone.

Concubine Jing heard that this was a bit of a warning to herself, and it seemed that the emperor also felt that today's events had nothing to do with her.

"Ruonan, can you still hold on?"

Seeing Du Ruonan coughing repeatedly, Su Zhiyu asked with concern.

"Since you feel that some things are unfair, then I will change the system of election in the past few years, the previous system will be abandoned, starting from this year, you will make it on the spot, and then find fifty convincing cloth shop keepers in the people to vote for the imperial merchants, and I will send someone to arrange the specific matters as soon as possible."

The emperor said to everyone, and left after speaking.

He also said this with some implication towards Shangguan Liuli, didn't she say that it was unfair, so give her a fair now, she is satisfied, if it weren't for her Du Ruonan would not have suffered such a crime.

The emperor said this because he wanted to help Du Ruonan delay time, because looking at Du Ruonan's current injury, it was impossible to participate in the election immediately.

However, the reason he said was high-sounding, because the system has changed, and it is necessary to convene the cloth shop manager in the people, which will naturally take some time.

"Hmph, some people are really unscrupulous for the sake of profit."

"That's it, it's really the most poisonous woman's heart."

Although the shopkeepers were a little reluctant in their hearts, they came to the capital thousands of miles away and threw their cloth mill behind, and no one could guarantee that the cloth mill would not have any trouble during this period. 187

The election campaign could have ended as soon as possible and was extended at this time, and everyone was naturally unhappy.

But since the emperor said so, they naturally didn't dare to say anything more. But of course, they were very dissatisfied with the people who provoked this matter, and they all made sarcastic remarks.

Shangguan Liuli was miserable, how could she not hear that everyone was targeting her, but at this time she was also very helpless, she didn't expect that she would eat chicken instead of eating rice.

"Quiet, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can say to the emperor, if not, go back and prepare."

At this time, as soon as the emperor left, the biggest one here naturally belonged to Concubine Jing, she spoke to help Shangguan Liuli speak, and everyone had to leave in a huff.

Shangguan Liuli glanced at Concubine Jing, she knew that Concubine Jing had helped her a lot today, otherwise she would inevitably be in big trouble.

She noticed that Concubine Jing also looked at her, and then left with a smile.

Ruoyu Building.

Now Ruoyu Building is very lively, of course, it is to celebrate Du Ruonan's safe return, and to celebrate that Ruoyu Building is safe and sound.

Although Ah Xiang made a mistake, because there was a reason for the incident and the report was meritorious, Du Ruonan and Su Mingyue did not blame her, and gave her enough money to treat her mother.

They didn't tell everyone what Ah Xiang had done, otherwise they would definitely cause trouble for Ah Xiang. Ah Xiang was very moved in her heart, she really didn't expect that the two would not only ignore their previous suspicions, but also help her.

She had already secretly sworn in her heart that she must repay Du Ruonan and Su Mingyue well.

So the first thing she did was to report the person Wang Quan had bought. Of course, these people didn't think about dealing with them right now.

If they have a reason, they can understand it, but if they see the money, then Ruoyulou will not be able to keep them.

Half a month is a fleeting time.

In the past half a month, the emperor also found fifty referees, and at the same time sent Father-in-law Li to privately investigate Du Ruonan's physical condition.

Under Su Zhiyu's careful care, Du Ruonan's injuries have healed most of his body in half a month.

Qianning Palace.

"Here are the fifty referees who the emperor temporarily found in the people, and here are the ladies of the harem, this time it is up to them to decide who is the last imperial businessman, do you still have any objections?"

Gonggong Li said to everyone on the side.

"Of course, there may be your acquaintances among these referees, there may be your old opponents, and some people may think that some people will suffer if they say this, but this is also part of the strength."

Gonggong Li added.

The emperor specially sent someone to discuss this issue, and this was the result of the final discussion. Of course, these judges are not set in stone, and they are randomly selected every year.

This is to prevent someone from deliberately currying favor with these referees and causing the final unfairness.

"Okay, since you have no objections, let's get started, you don't have to bring anything with you this time, everything has been prepared for you, and now you can show off your style."

The emperor announced the start at this time.

"It seems that the emperor has prepared very well this time, and he has taken out all the fabrics, it seems that he wants us to choose the fabrics by ourselves."

Su Mingyue looked at the row of fabrics and said.

In the past, these fabrics were brought by the candidates, so they would take out the best fabrics in their stores to get a head start.

"Wouldn't that be unfair to the man who developed the cloth?"

Du Ruonan asked Su Mingyue while wandering among the many fabrics.

Of course, the emperor also thought of this, and naturally came up with a solution, if the fabric you developed has been recognized by everyone, then it will give you extra points first.

Speaking of this score, it is also the most important this time, the referee scores, and the person with the highest score in the end is Huang Shang. In this case, it means that there is no game yet, and you already have points, so it is not unfair.

"Okay, let's hurry up and choose the fabric, this competition has a time limit, and everyone has already selected it."

Su Mingyue urged on the side.

"Why are the two of them still there? Isn't it stupid to be scared, nothing will happen. ”

Everyone saw Du Ruonan and Su Mingyue there in a daze and teased.

Shangguan Liuli also sneered when he saw the two people who were stunned, it seemed that he took them too seriously, and it was completely luck that they were able to develop a fabric like Sujin.

They can stand here today, it must be the back door opened by the emperor for them, thinking of this, she regrets a little that she shouldn't be with Wang Quan.

Of course, Su Mingyue heard what everyone said, but she didn't have an immediate seizure, but thought to herself that she must make these guys who make fun of her look good.

Du Ruonan was very indifferent, she came here more to see what level she was at. As for who the final winner is, she doesn't really care.

"Ruonan, are you sure you picked this?"

Su Mingyue was surprised to see that Du Ruonan did not choose their own newly developed fabric, but chose Xia Bu.

You must know that the fabric they choose now is naturally the fabric they are most familiar with.
