"Sister, why are your lips swollen?" Not only is it red and swollen, but it also has deep and shallow marks, as if it has been bitten by something.

Sheng Zimo turned his face away in embarrassment and said to the little demon, "Take some herbs to clear heat and reduce swelling." When she left Youshan Village, she brought a few bags of common herbs with her in case she needed them on the road.

Nangong Sheng definitely did it on purpose, deliberately getting angry, deliberately gnawing her!

If he had been slower, he would have tasted the consequences of molesting her tonight!

The little demon took the herbs as instructed, crushed them into powder, rushed them into warm water, and carefully wiped them for Sheng Zimo.

After treating the wound, Sheng Zimo called Ziling and told the two of them.

After hearing this, the little demon and Ziling looked at each other and smiled, and nodded in unison.

......

Xuanzheng Palace.

Sheng Tianke found that almost all the officials looked at him strangely, especially those ministers who were full of hostility, which made his back cold.

The position of the ministers is not high, but they dare to speak and dare to play, and the emperor attaches great importance to them, and some officials have ended up in a miserable situation of the nine clans because of the words of the ministers. But soon, he comforted himself, and the ministers looked bitter and hateful to everyone, and it should not be aimed at him, after all, he had no handle in their hands.

As the sharp voice of the Duke of Deshuang sounded, Nangong Wuyue appeared on the white jade dragon chair wearing a dragon robe.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The ministers shouted in unison.

Nangong Wuyue raised his hand and said loudly, "Zhong Aiqing is flat." ”

After getting up, someone soon stood up, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." Sheng Xiang had a daughter in his early years, who almost lost his life due to smallpox, Sheng Xiang not only did not do his best to rescue, but also buried his daughter alive. Fortunately, the baby girl did not die and was rescued, and yesterday she found the Sheng family to recognize her relatives, but Sheng Xiang refused to recognize her. Sheng Xiang's actions are outrageous, and he implores the emperor to punish him heavily. ”

Sheng Tianke's face changed abruptly, and he pointed at the man and said, "Master Chen, where did you get these rumors?" I, Sheng Tianke, act above board and take good care of my children, how can I bury my daughter alive? ”

To be buried alive is a crime!

"Sheng Xiang, since you take good care of your children, why do you make it difficult for the daughter who came to the door in every way, so that she can't recognize her relatives and can't go back to her home?" Another minister stood up and retorted unceremoniously, "Your Majesty, Weichen learned that there was indeed a girl who came to the Sheng family yesterday to confess her relatives, and was personally escorted by Prince Ding, Sheng Xiang led the whole family to kneel in front of the gate to prevent the girl from going home. Weichen thinks that such behavior is detrimental to my Chinese style. ”

Immediately afterwards, another person came out, "Your Majesty, Weichen also heard that the reason why Lord Sheng Xiang turned away his biological daughter was because this daughter was deaf and dumb, which humiliated the lintel of the Sheng family." Weichen speculated that the reason why Sheng Xiang buried his undead daughter alive was precisely because his daughter was born with a defect and disliked her. As a parent, he should love and protect his son, but Lord Sheng Xiang abandoned her, which shows that he is vicious. Such a person is difficult to set an example for hundreds of officials, and it is embarrassing for the prime minister! ”

"Nonsense!" Sheng Tianke angrily pointed at the ministers who stood up, only hating himself for having one mouth, and he couldn't say so many people.

He turned his gaze to Nangong Wuyue, knelt on the ground and begged, "Emperor Mingjian, these people are all hearsay, spreading rumors, and trapping micro-ministers in unkindness and injustice. Weichen did have a daughter in his early years, she died of smallpox just two months after she was born, and Weichen ordered someone to bury her according to Jingzhou customs. Yesterday, King Ding appeared at the door of Sheng's house with a girl, saying that the girl was the daughter of Weichen. Weichen's daughter died seventeen years ago, how could there be another daughter. Ask the emperor to call the shots, and return the innocence of the ministers. ”

Nangong Wuyue finally knew what was going on, turned his head to look at Deshuang, and ordered, "King Xuanding." ”

Deshuang nodded and retreated, and hurriedly sent someone to find the king. Most of the time, King Ding will appear in the court, but there are occasional absences, at first the emperor will ask the reason, and then he will turn a blind eye.

Half an hour later, Nangong Sheng entered the Xuanzheng Palace. On the way, the people in the palace had already told him everything that happened in the court, and when he saw Sheng Tianke Tieqing's face at this time, he couldn't help but want to laugh. The ministers all received a secret letter last night, and what was revealed in the letter was Sheng Tianke's rejection of his own daughter, which was naturally sent by the little girl, and of course he also contributed to it.

"Sheng'er, the ministers said that you brought a girl to the Sheng family yesterday and let the Sheng family recognize her as a daughter?" Nangong Wuyue was a little curious, Sheng'er actually went to take care of the Sheng family's affairs.

Nangong Sheng nodded and replied, "Uncle Huang, Sheng did take Miss Sheng back to the house yesterday, but Sheng Xiang was unwilling to accept his daughter and turned Miss Sheng away. Originally, Sheng shouldn't be in charge of these things in the Sheng family, but when it comes to Sheng's fiancée, Sheng has to take care of it. ”

Ministers, their ears suddenly pricked up. Listening to King Ding's meaning, the daughter who was rejected by Sheng Xiang seems to be King Ding's fiancée. People just said that it was the eldest lady who turned away, and since this is the case, the current one in the Sheng family is the second lady.

Nangong Wuyue's face sank suddenly, remembering the holy decree half a month ago, and asked, "Sheng Tianke, what is your eldest daughter's name?" ”

Sheng Tianke replied, "Back to the emperor, Weichen has two daughters, and the eldest daughter is called Zilan. ”

"Sheng Zilan?" This is not a name on the Divine Decree! Nangong Wuyue raised her eyes to look at Nangong Sheng and asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Nangong Sheng's face did not change, and he replied, "Uncle Huang, Sheng Xiang does not recognize Sheng's fiancée, and Sheng is also extremely distressed. Yesterday, Sheng Xiang kept saying that Sheng's fiancée was an impostor, and no matter what kind of evidence Sheng put forward, he didn't believe it. Sheng thought that perhaps, as the ministers said, Sheng Xiang had already disliked Sheng's fiancée. ”

Even King Ding's fiancée dares to dislike it, Sheng Xiang is destroying his future! At the same time, the ministers also deeply despised Sheng Xiang, and the father did not understand love so much!

"Wronged...... Sheng Tianke knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, "Emperor Mingjian, that girl is indeed not Weichen's daughter, how can Weichen recognize it?" ”

Nangong Sheng didn't expect Sheng Tianke to give in, looked at Nangong Wuyue in embarrassment, and said, "Uncle Huang, Sheng thinks that this matter needs to be handed over to Dali Temple for investigation. ”

"Accurate!" After Nangong Wuyue finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.

Back in the imperial study, Nangong Wuyue made a fuss, pointed at Nangong Shenglian and said a few confusedly, "The marriage contract between the Dingwang Mansion and the Sheng family was made by your father himself, how can you change it privately?" No, I must take it back! ”

Nangong Sheng's face was indifferent, "Uncle Huang, Sheng and Zimo's father-in-law have already agreed." ”

"He answered? How can it be? "It's not that he doesn't trust Nangong Sheng's nephew, but he believes in the vision of the imperial brother, since he made such a marriage contract with the Sheng family back then, it hasn't changed for more than ten years, how can it change for no reason?" Come and declare the king of Laoding. ”

Deshuang was about to deliver the decree, and heard Nangong Wuyue add, "Prepare the sedan chair, I will personally go to the Dingwang Mansion." ”

......

"Sister, you don't know how embarrassed that old guy is Sheng Xiang, the ministers have come out to accuse him, he can only kneel in front of the emperor and beg for mercy......" The little demon happily relayed the news brought by Zhen Shui, but he didn't expect last night's action to have such an effect.

Ziling also expressed her admiration for Sheng Zimo, and according to her idea, she would directly kill those who didn't like the eldest lady, and she would be infamous for being unfilial. And the eldest lady's approach is tantamount to slapping Sheng Xiang's face in public, people like Sheng Xiang value face the most, and now don't talk about face, even if there is not much left.

Sheng Zimo raised the corners of his lips, very satisfied with this result. From yesterday's everything, she concluded that Sheng Xiang was extremely face-saving. Although he led the Sheng family to prevent her from returning to the house, there were no onlookers in the audience, and there were even family members secretly maintaining order, which shows that he didn't want that scene to be seen by others. As for the family members and maidservants of the Sheng Mansion, they all rely on him to eat at the Sheng family, who dares to talk too much? The more Sheng Xiang cared about her face, the more she had to grab this kind of thing and fight back fiercely.
