"Father, the son is guilty!"

Situ Chi walked up to Situ Sheng, knelt down, and shouted with a guilty face.

"What, do you understand what's going on?" Situ Sheng glanced at Situ Chi.

"The sons are incompetent, there is a spy in the Chengwang Mansion, and the sons and daughters will not be able to escape the blame!

Situ Chi pretended to reproach and repent with a face, and leaned over to bow.

"Hmph, it's still a trivial matter to punish the guilt, I ask you, your Concubine Qin said before she died, your Dugu princess didn't die of miscarriage at all, but was slandered by the Xuanyuan clan and beaten to death by you, but is there such a thing?"

"Father, since Concubine Qin is a spy, how can she believe her words? This must be her conspiracy again, trying to frame her son!

Situ Chi hurriedly pleaded with an aggrieved face.

"Hmph! Today's coffin autopsy is to verify this matter, Dugu Tiannan has already made a military order, as long as the evidence is found, I can't spare you!"

Situ Sheng's eyes lit up, and he scolded sternly.

"Father, the son is wronged! How can I verify what the son has not done?

Situ Chi saw that Situ Sheng was angry, and hurriedly excused himself.

"Okay, go and call Dugu Tannan and Qi Zuo and ask them how they are doing?"

Situ Sheng waved his hand and interrupted Situ Chi's defense.

"Yes!"

Situ Chi got up and walked to the coffin, seeing that Dugu Qiannan and Guan Xiong were still facing each other there, Guan Xiong was already blushing and thick-necked, but Dugu Qiannan had a light face.

Dugu Tiannan saw Situ Chi coming over, and his face immediately became gloomy.

Situ Chi pretended to be apologetic and said: "Tilt Nan, it's this king who didn't take good care of your sister, but you have to believe this king, this king never harmed your sister! Concubine Qin just wants to provoke the relationship between this king and the Dugu family, you must not trust her!"

Dugu Qiannan just snorted coldly and said, "I just want to know if the person in the coffin is my sister? Give me enough evidence, and I will believe you!"

"Of course the coffin is your sister! At that time, this king personally buried her, will this king still lie to you?

Situ Chi's sincere expression only made Dugu Qiannan even more disgusted.

If he hadn't known the true face of King Cheng from his sister, he would have really been deceived by him!

"Dugu Gongzi, I have already made it very clear! The person in the coffin is indeed a princess! I will go back to the emperor now, if Dugu Gongzi is not convinced, please go and tell the emperor!"

Guan Xiong said, arched his hand to Situ Chi, and strode towards the emperor's tent.

Dugu Qiannan was in a hurry, and just wanted to follow, when he suddenly heard another cry from outside the crowd, and then a man wearing an official uniform covering his face was followed by a few cloth-clothed peasants, and hurriedly rushed over.

"Bold! The emperor is here, who dares to be presumptuous!"

The imperial guards rushed up and stopped this person, who knew that the man's hands were loosened, revealing a familiar face!

When Situ Sheng saw it, his nose was crooked, and he shouted angrily: "Fang Zheng!

When the guards heard Situ Sheng's words, they immediately got out of the way, and Fang Zheng immediately raised his hands and said, "The minister obeys the order!

Fang Zheng quickly rushed to Situ Sheng and knelt down, and the people who followed him also knelt down, shouting in unison: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Situ Sheng glanced at Fang Zheng, saw that he was howling for a long time, there was not a single tear on his face, and he said angrily: "Fang Zheng, what trick are you playing?"

Fang Zheng raised his head, straightened up, and pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has been wronged, please ask the emperor to call the shots for Weichen!"

"You are wronged? What kind of wrongs do you have for no reason?

"Yes, the emperor is gracious, the minister went out for breakfast early this morning, but was beaten up by these people for no reason, of course the minister was not convinced and reasoned with them! Who knew that they said that the minister was the imperial history of the capital, but he was in his position and did not seek his own government, and he wanted to beat the minister into a pig's head!"

Fang Zheng began to sing and write well about his experience.

"Today's coffin was opened for an autopsy, didn't you come to the mausoleum early to wait, and ran out on the street to wander around?

Situ Shengqi is choking enough, and such a major event as opening the coffin and performing an autopsy is in front of him, and he actually reports such a trivial matter, which is really underwhelming!

"The minister was wronged! The minister didn't wander around, the minister went to find a person to do an autopsy! Only then would they misunderstand the protection of the officials and give them a beating!"

Fang Zheng replied unconvinced.

"Looking for a puppet? The Criminal Prosecution Division has a Confession, what else are you looking for? Could it be that you question the Prosecution Division's Confession?"

When Situ Sheng said this, he glanced at Guan Xiong on the side, but saw that he was originally running over with high spirits, but when he saw the few people brought by Fang Zheng behind him, his face changed immediately, and the expression on his face became even more uneasy.

"Back to the emperor, it's not that the ministers questioned the deception of the criminal division, but they, not that the deception of the criminal division had no real ability at all, but they just entered the criminal division by tricks! They also said that the minister accepted bribes to shield the ministers, so they had to beat the micro-ministers! The emperor, the ministers of the criminal department have never even seen each other, do you say that the micro-ministers are wronged or not? I ask the emperor to make the decision for the micro-ministers!"

After Fang Zheng finished speaking, he shouted again.

Situ Sheng ignored Fang Zheng, but his eyes swept towards the three cloth-clothed peasants behind Fang Zheng.

"Who are you?

The three of them hurriedly kowtowed to Situ Sheng, and the first one said: "Back to the emperor, the three grass people are all children of the Guan family, the grass people's name is Guan Sheng, and behind the grass people are Guan Wu and Guan Qing." Our Guan clan is a family of puppeteers, and we have been autopsy masters for generations, but the strongest of our Guan clan is not Guan Xiong, but Guan Wu!"

Guan Sheng's man pushed out a person behind him, and the man named Guan Wu had a gentle face, not like a coroner at all, but like a weak scholar.

"Guan Wu was originally the most capable person in our Guan clan, but when the Criminal Division recruited him, Guan Xiong deliberately drunk Guan Wu and took his place! If Guan Xiong's autopsy was accurate and clear, it would be fine, but his examination was a mess, and many wrong cases were broken, we must not let him insult the Guan clan, and ask the emperor for permission to remove Guan Xiong and clean up the door for our Guan clan!"

After Guan Sheng finished speaking indignantly, Guan Xiong couldn't hold it anymore, and stepped forward and knelt down in front of Situ Sheng and hurriedly defended: "Your Majesty, they are just jealous of the grass people's talents, so they deliberately slander the grass people!

"Guan Xiong! You still don't tell the truth! It's obvious that you are despicable and shameless, and you actually bite back!" Guan Qing almost jumped up.

"Presumptuous! How dare the emperor make such a noise in front of him?" the eunuch Wan Ying saw the chaos of the scene and came forward to reprimand.

The people fell silent and did not dare to say any more.

At this time, Fang Zheng said: "Your Majesty, it's better to do this! Open the coffin for an autopsy today, let Guan Wu also participate, if the results of Guan Wu's examination are more convincing, then ask the emperor to agree to their request!"

As soon as Fang Zheng's words came out, some people present immediately changed their faces. In addition to Guan Xiong, there are Situ Chi, Xuanyuan Wuzhen, Baili Feng and Xuanyuan often win!

Because this Guan Xiong is their last reliance, once something goes wrong with him, everything will be out of control!

But the emperor was present, and he couldn't tolerate anything else at all.

Situ Chi thought that he was going to win this battle, but in fact, this tough battle had just begun!

At that time, Min Qingrou was sitting at the tea table in the side hall, slowly drinking hot tea, while listening to Yuan Qiao tell her what happened after she fell into a coma.

"You said, the prince was shocked when he knew my true identity, but he didn't say that he didn't understand or accept it?"

"Yes! At that time, after Dugu Gongzi was in a hurry to reveal your identity, the prince was in disbelief at first, and then rushed to the underground ice room like crazy to rescue you! Later, under everyone's appeasement, he finally calmed down, and came up with a way to let everyone work together to lift the stone door, which saved you in time!"

Coincidentally, he told the situation at that time.

Min Qingrou listened, but slowly put the teacup in her hand back on the tea table.

How can it be?

She still vividly remembered Situ Yue's cold expression when she entered the ice room. He wanted to kill her with his own hands!

At that moment, she realized that he only had the woman in the ice room in his heart, and any stand-in to use was just an excuse for his loneliness!

She was just a sod in his loneliness, and he never put her in his heart!

But why, after knowing her true identity, did he act so strangely?

Didn't he dislike her? Didn't he just love the woman in the ice room? Why save her?

"Master, it's not the slave and maid who speaks for the prince! You are really ruthless and unrighteous in treating the prince like this! Do you know? In order to save you, the prince not only gave you medicine mouth-to-mouth, but also used his own body to rewarm you regardless of his own injuries! But what about himself, he began to have a high fever in the middle of the night, but he got up again in the morning and rushed to the mausoleum with Commander Wei, because he knew that today's open coffin autopsy is very important to you! He wants to fulfill your wish for you, personally overthrow the king, and avenge you!"

"Yuanqiao, who told you this?" Min Qingrou looked up at Yuanqiao.

"Commander Wei!" replied reflexively.

"When did you become so familiar with him, did you sneak away to go on a date with him while I slept for too long?" Min Qingrou glanced at her suddenly.

"Huh?"

Yuan Qiao was stunned for a moment, then looked at Min Qingrou's somewhat ambiguous eyes, stomped his feet and said in shame: "Master, what do people say seriously?

With that, he turned around and ran out.

Min Qingrou looked at the shy appearance of Yuanqiao's little daughter and showed a light smile.

At that time, she and Situ Yue were really happy!

But why, in the blink of an eye, there is nothing?

Min Qingrou lowered her eyelids, but she still couldn't stop the tears from falling.

She picked up a thick black velvet cloak from the screen stand, draped it over herself, and slowly walked out of the room.

This cloak is Situ Yue's, and it has his taste. Just thinking that now she wants to get back to her previous feelings, but she only has this dress to comfort, she feels extremely lonely and desolate.

Before she knew it, she had walked to the entrance of the underground ice chamber again. Stood there dumbfounded, not knowing where to go.

The originally cold heart warmed up again because of the words of fate, but the woman in Situ Yue's heart was still a thorn that she couldn't pull out, and she couldn't settle down if she didn't figure it out!

But the stone door was locked, and the key was nowhere to be found, how could she figure it out?

Walking back and forth at the entrance of the cave in a daze, Min Qingrou went over and over again, gnawing at her loneliness like a wandering spirit.
