Hearing his words, Shen Ninghua was not very surprised, the Zhao family pushed the problem of the prescription to the Shen family, but everyone with a discerning eye knew what was going on. It can be seen from Baili Qingcang's attitude that the emperor has been angry with the Zhao family, and it would be strange if the prince was still indifferent at this time.

Shen Ninghua nodded: "I know." ”

Chu Junyi looked at her with a smile: "The second prince is not easy to get along with, you should pay more attention to yourself." ”

"Well, you are the same, the Xiao family is useless this time, but you must also be careful of other people's eyes."

"Thank you Ninghua for your concern."

Shen Ninghua glanced at his smiling face, and frowned slightly uncomfortably: "It's still more pleasing to the eye than you are." ”

Chu Junyi touched his cheeks, and his smile deepened: "Does that mean that I am much better than the second prince, at least I can still please you with my appearance." ”

Seeing that he was starting to be informal, Shen Ninghua no longer paid attention to her, turned around and walked towards the West Palace. Not far after walking out, I really saw two palace maids with low eyebrows waiting in place, and when I saw her coming, I immediately knelt down and saluted: "I have seen His Royal Highness the county lord, and the king of Dejun asked the slaves and maids to wait here to guide the way for the county lord." ”

"No, I can go back myself." Lead the way for her, I'm afraid it's to see if she's drunk, I thought that Baili Jinchuan had a straightforward personality and should be the easiest to get along with, but I didn't expect this straight-tempered person to be even more terrifying when he was stubborn.

Baili Jinchuan and others were happy to return from disaster relief, and they were worried about the princes and officials who stood in other teams. And on the day when the merit was rewarded and the punishment was discussed, the situation suddenly reversed.

Outside the palace, the people were worried about the punishment of the second prince and Shen Ninghua, while many officials were happy to see it.

Shen Dong, Shen Linghan and others were detained for more than a month, and they came out of the prison again, and they felt like they had seen the light of day again.

Zhao was even more insane, because she was pregnant, she was placed under house arrest in a remote palace, and only one eunuch brought some food every day. But she couldn't eat at all, and coupled with the pregnancy reaction, she was boiled to the bone for more than a month. At this time, when she saw Shen Linghan who was escorted by the guards, she couldn't wait to pounce immediately:

"Han'er?"

Shen Linghan raised his head and saw Zhao's dead eyes a little more enlightened: "Mother, my daughter is living so hard." ”

Zhao's tears almost fell: "Don't worry, Han'er, your sister will definitely save us." ”

Shen Linghan nodded, but a strange light flashed in his lowered eyes, and a cold smile on his lips: Shen Ninghua, don't think about retreating today.

As the silent whip resounded through the palace, the loud chanting voice of the chamberlain sounded: "The emperor has arrived." ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Baili Qingcang sat on the dragon chair and looked down at the four rows of officials in the hall: "The main thing you should know today is to reward Baili Jinchuan and Shen Ninghua, Xiao Jingran and others for their meritorious deeds. If you have any opinions, please take them out and tell them. ”

The hall was silent, and the officials were reluctant to be the first to take the lead.

After a while, Chen Yun took the lead in standing up: "Back to the emperor, according to Weichen's opinion, His Royal Highness the Second Prince has taken bold disaster relief measures this time, quelled the plague and disaster, and rescued thousands of people. ”

As soon as his voice fell, someone suddenly jumped out to object: "Lord Chen's words are wrong, His Royal Highness the Second Prince was ordered by the emperor to go to disaster relief, and it is the right thing to complete the task." But he was in a hurry, and even killed 32 officials in Jiangnan without reporting to the emperor, including the court members of Zheng Sanpin, this move has undoubtedly rebelled, it is really bold and reckless, please punish the emperor severely. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Lord Chen's point of view."

"The second prince is complicit in rebellion, and he should be punished severely."

"The Emperor's ......"

The hall was like a hot oil pot that had been poured with a scoop of water, and it was noisy.

Baili Qingcang sat firmly on the throne, without the slightest impatience, until half an hour later, when the hundred officials were sweating profusely, he said loudly: "Since you can't come up with a charter, then bring all the people involved in this incident, and I will come today to break the cause and effect." ”

Everyone unconsciously quieted down and concentrated at the door, the second prince, the Xiao family, the Shen family, and the Zhao family...... Anyone who was even the slightest involved was called to the main hall.

After everyone finished saluting, Baili Qingcang called them up: "If you want to come and know what is going on today, then talk about it together, I want to hear your thoughts." ”

When Baili Jinchuan heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground: "Father, the son is guilty, please punish the father." ”

"What are you guilty of?" Baili Qingcang's eyes were serious, and his tone did not distinguish between joy and anger.

Baili Jinchuan took out a booklet from his arms, raised his hands and said: "Back to my father, my son's ministers killed a total of thirty-two Jiangnan officials on their own initiative without asking for your instructions. ”

The chamberlain handed the booklet over, Baili Qingcang opened it and glanced at it, and his face suddenly sank: "What you said is true?" ”

"Back to my father, the son's record is true, if you don't believe it, you can send officials to investigate."

Baili Qingcang clenched the book in his hand, and his eyes swept over the officials in the main hall: "I will naturally investigate, before the investigation is clear, you should think about it behind closed doors in the mansion." ”

"Yes, Father." Baili Jinchuan was happy in his heart, what was recorded in the booklet was the evidence of corruption among Jiangnan officials that he sent someone to investigate, as long as the emperor was willing to investigate, then he would be in danger. , none of the officials who were killed at the beginning were innocent.

Baili Jinze's eyes flashed with anger, his father just let Baili Jinchuan think about it? He didn't want to see the second emperor brother escape so easily, so he thought about looking at Zuo Yushi on the side with his eyes, and gestured slightly.

Zuo Yushi Xu Mian immediately stood up and said with tears in his eyes:

"Your Majesty, it's unreasonable to do this, the second prince innocently killed the court officials, and completely trampled the laws of the Da'an Dynasty under his feet, this is not a joke for the people of the world, how can Weichen watch such a thing happen, and ask the emperor to take back his life, otherwise Weichen will die in the Chengqian Palace, and Weichen will desperately maintain the emperor's reputation."

Baili Qingcang frowned, a trace of anger flashed in his heart, this Xu Mian actually forced him.

Under the leadership of Xu Mian, many officials who received hints knelt on the ground and asked for their lives, so that Baili Qingcang could take back his life.

The officials who secretly supported the second prince were anxious, but it was a pity that their number was small and they did not have an advantage at all.

Just when Baili Qingcang was furious and was about to open his mouth to reprimand, a crisp laugh suddenly sounded.

There was a sudden silence in the hall, and everyone looked at Shen Ninghua, who was laughing.

Zuo Yushi shouted: "Lord Ninghua is really too ignorant of etiquette, and the hall is so presumptuous!" ”

Shen Ninghua smiled on his face, and stepped forward to salute Baili Qingcang: "Please ask the emperor for forgiveness, Ninghua really couldn't hold back for a while." ”

The expression on Baili Qingcang's face eased, knowing that she must have something to say in this action, so she simply handed over the steps neatly: "Why is Ning Hua laughing?" ”

Shen Ninghua raised his eyes and looked at Zuo Yushi Xu Mian: "This Lord Xu, I'm very curious, what is your official position?" ”

Xu Mian was very disdainful of her: "This official residence is from the third grade of the left imperial history." ”

"Oh, it turned out to be the master of the imperial history from the third grade, but I was disrespectful." Shen Ninghua showed a look of sudden realization, "I thought you were the person with the highest official position in the main hall." ”

Xu Mian panicked in his heart, and his face changed: "What does the county lord mean by this?" ”

"I don't mean anything, just look at Lord Xu just called King Dejun a second prince, and kept coercing the emperor to withdraw his will, and even forced the emperor to dispose of his son at the cost of death, this kind of demeanor really covered up everyone in the hall."

Xu Mian was frightened into a cold sweat, and hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen was too excited just now, and asked the emperor to forgive him." ”

Shen Ninghua looked at him coldly: "Why is Lord Xu so alarmed, although you openly refute the emperor's will and are disrespectful to King Dejun, but in the end, there are many adults who are as kind as you in this hall?" As she spoke, her gaze swept over the officials who had just echoed Xu Mian.

Many officials who were not firm in their minds immediately dodged Shen Ninghua's gaze.

The situation was disturbed, and the third prince was unwilling: "Ning Hua, you are just a woman, so you should not interfere in the affairs between the officials and the court." ”

Shen Ninghua restrained her smile: "What His Royal Highness said is to ask the emperor for forgiveness." ”

The third prince was contemptuous in his heart, no matter how sharp his teeth were, he was just a woman, no matter how high her status was, this woman could not interfere in politics!

Baili Qingcang narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes swept over the third prince with a smug face: "I just opened my mouth to ask, what is your opinion?" ”

The third prince was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly knelt down to ask for sin: "Father forgive me." ”

Baili Qingcang didn't call up, let him kneel, and turned his head to look at Xu Mian and the others: "I asked the second prince to think about it behind closed doors, who of you don't agree?" ”

If you don't agree, you are openly refuting the holy decree, and if you exhort too much, you will force the emperor to die, with Shen Ninghua's previous words as a foreshadowing, who would dare to say more?

Although he knew that Shen Ninghua didn't open his mouth for himself, Baili Jinchuan still couldn't help but feel hot in his heart, the more he contacted Shen Ninghua, the more he couldn't control his heart, such a woman had to stay by his side even if it cost a lot!

There is no benefit in the second prince, everyone has focused their attention on Shen Dong's body, the second prince is the emperor's blood and bones, they have some scruples, but the Shen family is different, Shen Dong was the prime minister before, they couldn't shake it, and now the dragon trapped shoal dragged you to death!

Baili Qingcang said: "Since the matter of the second prince is solved, then let's talk about Shen Ninghua, what are your opinions?" ”

Chen Yun stepped forward: "Your Majesty, this disaster relief Ninghua County Lord has made a great contribution, and the minister advocates a heavy reward. ”

Weichen seconded. The Imperial Doctor and Xiao Jingran, who went to the disaster relief, both agreed.

Baili Qingcang nodded with satisfaction: "Ning Hua, you first assisted in researching the prescription, and you performed well in the disaster relief process, what do you want?" ”

Shen Ninghua looked at Shen Dong and met his earnest gaze.

Shen Dong didn't expect that one day the safety of the Shen family would be pinned on his most disliked daughter.

Shen Ninghua turned his head: "Back to the emperor, Ninghua has nothing to want." ”

Shen Dong's eyes widened suddenly, and the bloodshot in her eyes was particularly terrifying: why didn't she plead with the emperor to spare the Shen family, did she want to watch the Shen family be destroyed?
