() Unexpectedly, the reason why this pillar collapsed was because of the secret instructions of a noble lady.

Bai Rong was puzzled: "Why did she do this?" ”

The secret guard paused for a second before saying, "It seems that because of jealousy of Miss Bai and His Majesty, he had evil intentions and deliberately designed it." ”

Such a ridiculous reason made Bai Rong and Gu Ziyuan feel annoyed in their hearts, they almost killed others because of their own selfish desires, and their thoughts were so vicious and presumptuous.

Gu Ziyuan's face was angry, and he ordered in a deep voice: "Bring her into the palace for interrogation." ”

"Wait." Bai Rong looked worried, but she thought about it for a moment and decided, "Let me go myself." ”

Seeing that she seemed to have other ideas, Gu Ziyuan didn't ask much: "Okay, I believe you, but if they quibble in every way, they don't need to waste their tongues anymore, and directly let the imperial soldiers escort them into the imperial city." ”

"Well, I understand, don't worry." Bai Rong nodded, she couldn't deny his words, she just had another thing to be sure.

On the other side, Zhou's house.

The room was caught off guard by the sound of broken cups, and the birds under the eaves outside the window fluttered their wings and flew away.

"What do you say? Pillar, that pillar smashed on His Majesty the Emperor? Zhou Linghua's face was pale, and her face was in disbelief.

She was the noble girl who instructed the family to do something to the pillar of the school, but the bad news that the emperor was hit by the pillar suddenly hit, and the complacency in her heart that secretly made the bad was instantly emptied, leaving only full of fear and fear.

"Why, I just wondered how it could be like this." Zhou Ling then hurriedly asked the result, "Then how is Your Majesty doing now?" ”

The maid who found out the news was now full of panic: "Your Majesty has internal strength to protect your body, and it has not hurt your life, but I heard that the palace is full of unfavorable remarks against Bai Rong, Your Majesty Long Yan is furious, and threatens to find the real culprit, what should I do?" Miss, sooner or later, the emperor will find out. ”

Speaking of the back, the maid trembled with fear.

However, before Zhou Ling, whose brain was white, had time to think, her father's voice came from outside the door.

Zhou Ling didn't have time to stop it, so her father let the maid outside push the door in and step in, Zhou Ling could only quickly put away the gaffe on her face and face: "Dad, why did you come in suddenly?" ”

He was always kind to her

The father showed a stern look and asked, "Ling'er, tell me the truth, have you been to Mrs. Bai's unfinished school in the past few days?" ”

Today, knowing that His Majesty had an accident, he hurriedly entered the palace, and when he learned that His Majesty's dragon body was fine, he breathed a sigh of relief and went back to the mansion, but overheard several family members in the mansion whispering about the pillars of the school.

Father Zhou, who realized the truth, was shocked and angry, but when he came to his favorite daughter, he still chose to ask first.

Zhou Ling froze for a moment, and her expression began to dodge: "Dad, you, why did you suddenly ask this, the tattered school has not been built yet, why should I go there?" ”

She has been favored since she was a child, she grew up carefree, and it is especially obvious when she lies, but in the past she lied because of some willful little things, and Father Zhou doted on her, so naturally he would not expose her.

However, this time the incident was so big, and Father Zhou saw her such a weak look, and his heart was half cold.

"If you don't say it, Dad won't ask, and Dad will check it himself." Father Zhou said that he was going to throw off his sleeves and leave.

This time Zhou Ling couldn't sit still, the panic and fear in her heart shattered the last disguise, she hurriedly pulled her father's sleeve and cried: "It's me!" I went to the academy, Daddy, but the emperor seems to have found me, I'm really scared, can you help me? My daughter knew that she was wrong, and she didn't dare to do it in the future. ”

Father Zhou turned his head suddenly, and wanted to reprimand him in surprise, but when he saw his daughter crying, he had to sigh: "I didn't expect the collapse of the pillars and beams of the school hall to be done by the old man's beloved daughter, what a sin." ”

Zhou Ling still bit the corner of her mouth a little unwillingly: "I just want to teach that Bai Rong a lesson, I don't want to hurt Your Majesty." ”

Seeing that she was still unrepentant, Father Zhou said with a straight face: "What's the use of quibbling now?" The pillar is injured by the saint today! Silly Ling'er, how can you do such a thing, how can you let your father be good? ”

"Then, am I going to be sent to prison and never see my father and mother in the future? I don't want that, Dad, don't leave me. Zhou Ling was afraid that Zhou's father would ignore her, so she began to cry and beg again.

Father Zhou was troubled by her pleading and crying, he pulled Zhou Ling up from the ground and pulled her out: "While your guilt has not yet come down, come with me to the palace to ask for your guilt, I just hope that the saint and Mrs. Bai will be merciful and can spare your life."

As soon as she heard that she was going to confess her guilt in front of Bai Rong and Gu Ziyuan, Zhou Ling was a little reluctant, but she still couldn't resist the fear of capital crimes, and staggered behind her father.

On the official road out of the city gate, Bai Rong was still thinking about how the Zhou family would deal with her, but the carriage was stopped halfway, and after the carriage stopped, she heard that there seemed to be an argument outside, so she lifted the curtain and asked the imperial soldiers outside: "What happened?" ”

The imperial soldier on the side reported: "Mrs. Bai, it's Lord Zhou." ”

Bai Rong was clear and got out of the car calmly, she was going to go out to find the Zhou family, but she didn't want the Zhou family to come to the door first, but whoever looks for it is the same.

As soon as he saw Bai Rong, Lord Zhou pulled Zhou Ling's clothes: "Ling'er, don't kneel down quickly!" ”

And Zhou Ling glanced at Bai Rong aggrievedly, but now that she was in a situation, she didn't want to kneel, so she swept her knees and knelt down.

Lord Zhou also knelt down and reported respectfully to Bai Rong: "Mrs. Bai, the minister is Ling'er's father, and he came here to ask you and His Majesty for his guilt. ”

It seems that Zhou Ling's fault was already known to Zhou's father first.

Seeing this, Bai Rong asked lightly, "What are your crimes?" ”

Hearing this, Father Zhou was stunned for a moment, and was about to speak, Zhou Ling replied first: "I did it alone, I was jealous of the closeness of Mrs. Bai and His Majesty, so I let people deliberately move their hands and feet on the pillars of the school, but accidentally injured His Highness's golden body, begging, begging Mrs. Bai and His Majesty for forgiveness." ”

Although Zhou Ling was afraid of being punished, she didn't want her father to bear the charge for her, so she simply gritted her teeth and confessed her guilt, anyway, it had already come to this point, whether she lived or died, resigned herself to fate.

Father Zhou then said: "As Ling'er's father and a eunuch in the court, the minister failed to stop his beloved daughter, and it was also the minister's dereliction of responsibility, and the minister was also guilty. ”

Looking at the two of them, Bai Rong said slowly: "Your Majesty sent me out of the palace to convict Lord Zhou's beloved daughter, and Your Majesty also said that regarding the crimes committed by Zhou Ling, the punishment will be determined by me." ”

After that, the cold eyes fell on Zhou Ling's body: "Lord Zhou, you can take the initiative to bring your daughter to plead for sin, this intention is enough to prove the justice and self-discipline of your nature, but the death penalty can be forgiven, the crime is unforgivable, and this crime must be punished no matter what." ”
