Two days later, the old gentleman Nong Zhou, who resounded in Yucheng, said goodbye to his old friends, quietly left from the south gate, and embarked on the official road to Beijing.

Along the way, Nong Zhou did not have the slightest consciousness of hurrying up, and traveled along the official road, which can be described as uncomfortable.

Jun Chen wanted to speak several times, but was stopped by Qi Changrong, she smiled and persuaded: "The general has been waiting for ten years, it doesn't hurt to wait a few more days, why bother his old man's interest?" ”

As a result, Emperor Nong Zhou became more and more comfortable, and when he found an interesting mountain forest or waterfall, he would also sit down to play a song on the piano and cook a pot of tea.

As a result, there was a few more days of delay on the road.

When they finally returned to Shangjing, Shangjing at this time was full of rumors, and everyone was panicked and angry.

After more than half a month, the officials who were sent to Tanzhou to investigate the truth returned quickly, and stepped into the lobby of the criminal department with several volumes of handwritten letters and a few witnesses.

Subsequently, Ye Quan entered the palace and reported it to Emperor Jin on time.

Soon, the decree came down from the palace, and the prisoner Pu Ting was about to be arraigned for the third time.

After returning to Beijing, Qi Changrong heard the rumors and knew that the situation was urgent, so he hurriedly arranged Nong Zhou in the house that had been prepared, returned to the palace non-stop, and went to see Emperor Jin An first.

On the bookcase in the imperial study, Emperor Jin An's hands are full of excerpts to impeach Pu Ting, the so-called wall is pushed by everyone, once the crime is implemented, everyone is eager to step on him two more feet.

At this time, even the usual trivial matters will be brought to the table and impeached in the fold.

Even if you can't step on two feet, you have to spit on Pu Ting's body twice.

Dirty and disgusting.

"Bastard! These guys who bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, when Pu Ting was in power in the past, which of them didn't greet each other with a smile, calling one by one 'Brother Pu', and turning a blind eye to ordinary minor crimes?

Now that the charges are still punned, and as soon as the news of the charges is true, they rush to the front. You look at the things recorded on the excerpt, there are this year, there are also last year and the year before that, one by one, it is clear that it is enough to condemn him, but before the incident, everyone was pretending to be deaf and dumb, which is really infuriating! ”

A roar full of anger came from inside, Emperor Jin An lost his temper in the imperial study, and the palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground one after another, and they didn't dare to breathe.

Yuan Yi wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and he didn't dare to speak out to comfort him at this time.

He is a smart man, and he knows that whatever he says at this time is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, and will only infinitely expand the anger of Emperor Jin An.

The best option is to brake with static.

As an emperor, above everyone, but deceived by his courtiers for many years, it is conceivable how many innocent people will be injured by that furious fire.

When Qi Changrong came, the folds on the bookcase were swept down and placed in various corners messily, and several of them were turned upward, and she swept her eyes down, taking in all the exposed contents.

So, I instantly understood the reason why Emperor Jin An was angry.

Without squinting, she walked into the temple with her feet up, and found an open spot in the middle of the temple and knelt down.

"The sons and daughters visited their father, and they hoped that their father's anger would be relieved, and he would not be angry."

Emperor Jin An's anger did not subside, and he shouted: "Prince, look at these people, they all bully the soft and are afraid of the hard, they know that there is a mistake and do not report it, they only know that they are wise to protect themselves, if my court is like a moth like a pavilion, I am afraid that it will be dangerous!" ”

The biggest moth is Jiang Bowen, who was single-handedly promoted by your father, who was favored by you and dared to raise the army in captivity in order to misbehave.

Qi Changrong whispered in her heart, thinking so, but before there was no evidence, she would never reveal a word to anyone, and it would not be good if she was bitten back in the end.

Yes, after the words came to his lips, he changed to another way.

"People's hearts are unpredictable, but Erchen believes that sinners like Pu Ting, who don't know what to do and who are corrupt and take bribes, must be rare in the court.

Emperor Jin Anhuang rubbed his eyebrows, he still had a headache, and he was not relaxed by Qi Changrong's words.

Since the outbreak of the Pu Ting bribery case, he has not slept well for a day, and there are countless impeachment excerpts waiting to be corrected every day.

In the end, they are looking to see who this piece of fat will fall into.

However, if this matter is really talked about, he has an unshirkable responsibility as the emperor, if he didn't trust Pu Ting too much, he wouldn't have made such a big fuss.

I heard that the people in Tanzhou were even more resentful, and the crying and shouting shook the sky.

Although no one dared to say that his supreme sentence was wrong, but such a thing happened under his nose, Emperor Jin An's heart was still uncomfortable.

The more uncomfortable it is, the less you want to make others feel better.

The culprit, Pu Ting, must not be spared easily!

Thinking of this, Emperor Jin An was furious and asked Qi Changrong: "You are going to Banyue, can you find Puting's comrades?" ”

Thinking that Qi Changrong's excuse for leaving Beijing was to track down his fellow party.

"I disappointed my father." Qi Changrong shook his head, there was a hint of sorrow between his eyebrows, and he lowered his head very reproachfully: "When Erchen went, there were already people there, and nothing was left. ”

Seeing her blaming herself, Emperor Jin An, who had expected it, did not blame, but comforted: "When you let you go, I didn't have hope, and you don't have to care too much." The person who dares to plot with Puting must have good courage and mind, and it is not surprising that you can't find him. ”

"It doesn't matter if there is that person or not, now that the evidence of the crime is enough, Puting will be tried three times tomorrow, if the prince is free, he might as well go and observe."

Qi Changrong nodded kindly: "Yes." ”

Emperor Jin An frowned, and the gloom in his eyes suddenly appeared.

"If Ye Quan can ask where the money went, it is naturally the best, if he really can't ask, you don't have to force him, first convict him and return it to the people for justice."

As for what to do with this person in the end, Emperor Jin An still needs to think about it.

"Yes, the retainer is commanded." Qi Changrong nodded and retired in the contemplation of Emperor Jin An.

Everything in the palace has not changed in any way because of her departure from Half Moon, but looking at this palace, Qi Changrong always feels that something is different.

In the past, looking at the palace wall and the palace people kneeling in front of her, she only had sadness, resentment and helplessness in her heart, but now she looks at it, whether it is the palace wall or the palace people, there are so many points of loveliness.

In fact, it's all fate that makes people.

The East Palace is still so quiet, and Ji Fang, who has been thinking about it on the wall, has already been free, and everything in the palace is in order, just waiting for the owner of the East Palace to return.

When Qi Changrong walked in, there was an uninvited guest inside who couldn't get rid of him, sitting under the tree and drinking himself.

Xu Shi drank two more glasses, and was alone, and the past came to his heart, and Qi Zhongxiu's calm eyes revealed unconcealable sadness.

Although she is only in her thirties, she already has fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and gray hair on her temples.

Only those eyes still have a clear and beautiful color, and occasionally the microwave ripples in them will also make people sigh, and time will always be kind to the beauty.

Qi Changrong looked at the spot for a long time, as if he could see what the eldest princess who was intoxicated with love ten years ago looked like.

"Since the prince is back, why don't you have two drinks with me." Qi Zhongxiu broke the silence in the courtyard and woke up from his sadness.

"My aunt invites me, it's better to obey my fate." Qi Changrong raised his feet, calmly sat down opposite Qi Zhongxiu, then raised his hand, took the wine glass handed by the man, and drank it all.

The spicy drink fell down the throat and into the abdomen, and the unhealed wound on the chest seemed to ache again.

Seeing that she was drinking so heroically, Qi Zhongxiu pulled the corners of her lips and smiled slightly: "In the past, I didn't know how to drink, and I hated people who drank alcohol. ”

"......" doesn't seem to be a good person.

"Later, when he died, the wine seemed to have become my life-sustaining thing."

Qi Changrong narrowed his eyes, the person who came was indeed not very good.

She put down her wine glass, unintentionally wasting time on distant stories, and asked directly, "What does Auntie want to say?" ”

She asked simply, seeing this, Qi Zhongxiu also replied simply: "I will go back to Qing Xiu in a few days, I don't know when the prince will be able to give me justice?" ”

Expected question.

Qi Changrong raised his eyebrows, took another drink unhurriedly, and said bluntly: "Soon, but aunt, you may not be able to see it with your own eyes." ”

Qi Zhongxiu pursed her lips tightly, not understanding which one Prince Dongdong was playing.

Fortunately, Qi Changrong didn't sell too much, and then said: "Starting from here and going to my aunt's place of cultivation, it will take about half a month, that is, my aunt should be able to hear the news." ”

The courtyard was silent, and the withered yellow leaves were scattered all over the ground, and one of them drifted with the wind and fell into Qi Zhongxiu's cup.

Qi Changrong's eyes moved to the fallen leaves, and he said calmly: "Auntie came just in time, there is something that needs aunt's help." ”

"Oh?" Qi Zhongxiu took away the fallen leaves, looked at Qi Changrong with half-squinted eyes, and did not hide his surprise in his words: "The dignified prince of the East Palace, there is also a place where I need help?" ”

Until now, sitting in the East Palace, the person opposite has a shallow smile on his lips, and he looks harmless to humans and animals, but Qi Zhongxiu still doesn't dare to relax his vigilance in his heart, and he is very energetic to deal with this person.

The prince of the East Palace was a fog to her, and no one knew what she looked like in the fog.

Even if he was very curious and wanted to dispel this fog to see the truth, Qi Zhongxiu had to think about it carefully.

Whether the fog is poisonous or not.

A word of help, Donggong said lightly, it seemed like a trivial matter, but Qi Zhongxiu knew in his heart that the prince of Donggong could ask her to help, no matter how small it was, it would not be small.

"One hand can't reach the sky, and there are too many people staring at the East Palace, everything is inconvenient." Qi Changrong explained patiently: "Although my aunt is the eldest princess, she has lived outside the palace for many years, and there are very few eyeliners around her, so it is up to you to do it, it is very suitable." ”

"When this matter is settled, it will be the turn of the Junmen case."
