Master Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites took out Luo Qingzhi's previously handed paper from the brocade box and held the paper and hairpin high for display.

The expressions on the faces of the candidates in the hall were different, Su Yan was the first to decide, he stepped forward and saluted respectfully towards Gao Zhen, "Congratulations to Second Prince Luo." ”

Then he walked towards Luo Qingzhi and said gently: "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the county lord for finding a good son-in-law." ”

Luo Qingzhi returned the salute, Su Yan took off the topaz pendant from his waist, handed it over with both hands, and said: "I will leave for Ningzhou in the next day, I should not be able to attend the wedding of the county lord, this is the jade pendant on behalf of my identity, it is both a congratulatory gift and a thank you gift, in the future, no matter what His Royal Highness needs, although he will send someone to look for me." ”

Luo Qingzhi hesitated for a while, but still took the jade pendant, "Young Master Xie Su." ”

Su Yan smiled gently, Rao is deliberately spoken, and said, "In the future, if His Royal Highness the County Lord regrets his choice today, he can also come to Ningzhou to find me." ”

Before Luo Qingzhi could say anything, Gao Zhen moved his pace, blocking the sight of the two, and said, "Thank you, Master Su, when we go to Ningzhou to play in the future, we will bother." ”

"Okay, I'll be waiting for you."

Jin Ziji glared angrily, but he seemed to know that there were other big people in the hall, and he didn't take too much action, until it was Jin Zijue, who kept looking out of the door, as if he was waiting for something.

Luo Qingzhi looked at Gao Zhen, who had been smirking, and asked, "So happy?" ”

Gao Zhen nodded and said, "Of course, Arlo is mine." ”

Luo Qingzhi didn't have any response, even the smile slowly retracted, and she said seriously, "Erlang, believe me." ”

Before Gao Zhen could understand the meaning, the head of Jin Zijue began to speak.

"County Lord, this Luo Gongzi...... No, former prince, it's not suitable to be your husband. ”

As soon as these words came out, even Su Yan, who had just stepped out of the threshold, stopped.

Li Shangshu even subconsciously looked at the screen, and Gao Yan behind the screen was expressionless, and he couldn't see any emotion, on the other hand, Huang Shao had begun to sweat on his forehead.

Luo Qingzhi was unusually calm, and said slowly: "General Jin, you can't talk nonsense. ”

Jin Zijue didn't panic at all and said, "I have evidence." ”

Xiaoqing was brought to the hall by the people of the Jin family, and even brought a basin of hot water.

The moment Gao Zhen saw the hot water, he was a little flustered, and unconsciously took half a step back, Luo Qingzhi noticed his movements, and said softly: "It's okay, don't be afraid." ”

Xiaoqing knelt on the ground and said calmly: "My lords, the maiden has been imprisoned in the county lord's mansion, and I happened to hear the guards in the palace talking about the second prince is the former prince, and later, taking advantage of the lax guards, he escaped and was rescued by General Jin. ”

Luo Qingzhi was still calm, and asked calmly: "You assassinated me in the palace banquet before, and I rescued you, there was no torture, no lack of food and clothing, and even thought about letting you go back to your hometown, what?" So coincidentally, as soon as my house was lax, you escaped and were rescued by General Jin? ”

Jin Zijue suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly said, "County Lord, are you shielding the prisoner?" ”

"Ahem, Your Majesty has arrived."

Huang Shi spoke out and helped Gao Yan out of the screen.

Except for Luo Qingzhi, the people in the hall knelt down and saluted.

"See Your Majesty."

Gao Yan sat on the main seat, his voice was loud, and he said, "General Jin, you repeat what you just said, I didn't hear it clearly behind the screen. ”

Jin Zijue was silent, a little annoyed that he didn't listen to his mother's words and didn't bite Luo Qingzhi.

"Minister, what the minister means is that this Xiaoqing's words, Your Majesty, can be verified one or two."

Gao Yan sneered and said, "What? Is General Kim teaching me to do things? Just now, the county lord also said that he would save her first, and this woman actually bit back, and I didn't believe a word of her words. ”

Luo Qingzhi said lightly: "Your Majesty, everyone has already been sued, if you don't find out, in the future, Yu Shitai will deduct the minister with the charge of harboring a suspect, how can you let the minister lead the three armies." ”

Jin Zijue followed Luo Qingzhi's words and continued: "Your Majesty, although the minister saved this girl by accident, he didn't believe in such words, the county lord has obvious to all the merits of the court, but the minister saw that this Luo Gongzi was about to become a county horse, so he had to admonish. ”

Jin Ziji responded and said, "Your Majesty, from the perspective of the ministers, in order to prove the innocence of the county lord, this matter must also be investigated." ”

Gao Yan said lightly, "Okay, then check it." ”

Gao Zhen was already a little flustered, he thought, if it was just his own business, it would be okay, but at this moment, Luo Qingzhi would be implicated, and he instantly wanted to explain the truth directly.

Luo Qingzhi seemed to sense Gao Zhen's thoughts and shook her head slightly.

Gao Yan continued: "Let the people from the Criminal Department investigate, it's a mess here." ”

Jin Zijue immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't be so troublesome, the minister checked the information last night, and also asked some doctors, Luo Er Gongzi should have used the technique of disguise, just hot water, you can show your true face." ”

As if he hadn't heard, Gao Yan continued to order, "Huang Shi, take people to the Criminal Department." ”

Luo Qingzhi naturally understood that Gao Yan had already concluded that Luo Jinchao was Gao Zhen, and he didn't want everyone to know that there were still such people in Jinling.

"So, this hot water is General Kim's method of proof." Luo Qingzhi deliberately reminded Jin Zijue.

Jin Zijue continued to answer and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has already prepared hot water, so it's better to try it first." ”

"I said it, hand it over to the Criminal Department."

At this time, everyone in the hall understood that Gao Yan did not want to try the matter in the county lord's mansion, and Jin Zijue did not want to really anger the emperor, so he had already begun to back down.

However, among the people present, Luo Qingzhi is the most hopeful, these children of the family, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites, all see that there are still descendants of the Gao family in Jinling today. She glanced at the distance between the hot tub and Gao Zhen, and she thought that if she could hit the table and chair with a stone, she would push Gao Zhen again......

"Your Majesty, get ahead."

Gao Yan was already ready to leave, and Luo Qingzhi was ready to do it.

"Your Majesty." Gao Zhen stopped him.

He knelt before him, bowed, raised his head, took out a handkerchief from his bosom, moistened it with hot water, and wiped the ointment off his face.

"Guilty minister Gao Zhen, join Your Majesty."

Luo Qingzhi was stunned, let go of the movements in her hand, and looked at Gao Zhen who was kneeling on the ground, a little unpleasant.

Gao Zhen continued: "Your Majesty, the criminal minister was unwilling to leave Jinling, and after changing his appearance, he pretended to be the second son of the Luo family and participated in the county horse competition, and the county lord did not know about it. ”

Gao Yan was already angry, so he could only say coldly: "Gao Zhen, I left you alive and let you leave Jinling, but you disrespected the will." ”

"The grass people are guilty, please punish your majesty."

Gao Yan wanted to end this chaos as soon as possible, and ordered, "Go to Zhaojiao." ”

Luo Qingzhi suddenly panicked, this Zhao Prison is nine deaths and one life, she never expected that Gao Yan would be so ruthless, she wanted to say something, but in the end she held back.

"Your Majesty." Xiao Qing, who was kneeling on the side, opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, this former prince is hiding in the county lord's mansion, how can the county lord of Anning not know, please investigate with Your Majesty." ”

Gao Yan snorted coldly, "I almost forgot about you, this woman, and you were imprisoned in Zhao Prison together." ”

Xiaoqing was dragged away, and kept talking about Luo Qingzhi's crime.

Gao Yan looked at the people around, either the children of the next generation of families or the heirs of wealthy merchants, thought for a while, and continued: "Luo Qingzhi, the lord of Anning, from now on, will be confined to the mansion, and you will not be allowed to come out without a show. ”

The chaos was temporarily stopped, Gao Zhen was escorted out of the house, looked back at Luo Qingzhi, and said with his lips, "I believe in you." ”

Gao Yan sneered, lowered his voice, and only let Luo Qingzhi hear it, "Ah Luo, is this your answer?" ”

Luo Qingzhi didn't answer immediately, was silent for a while, and responded lightly, "Wei Chen really doesn't know about this matter." ”

Hearing such an answer, Gao Yan laughed out loud and said, "Yes, yes, Ah Luo, be ruthless." ”

"Let's go back to the palace."

Huang Shi said loudly: "Drive back to the palace." ”

"Congratulations to Your Majesty."

After Gao Yan left, Jin Ziji walked towards Luo Qingzhi, pretended to comfort him, and said, "Your Highness, please rest assured, Your Majesty will not blame you for this matter." ”

Luo Qingzhi smiled and said deliberately: "This exposé of the criminal and the credit of hitting me by the way, it seems that it is all Brother Ling." ”

Jin Ziji's face changed, and he was still saying generously: "The descendants of the Jin family, it should be like this, anyone can say goodbye." ”

Everyone in the hall understood that when the emperor's trust in Luo Qingzhi surpassed many people, everyone dared not snub Luo Qingzhi, and the rest of the people stepped forward to salute respectfully and comforted before leaving.

After everyone left, Luo Qingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Luochen, follow along."

"Yes."

Qin Shu also had a hint of panic on his face, "When I was thinking about it before, I never thought that His Majesty would use Zhao Prison, and all the arrangements were in the Criminal Department. ”

Luo Qingzhi sighed and said, "Although I lost one layer, fortunately, I still let Gao Zhen show his face, don't panic, Your Majesty won't want his life." ”

Qin Shu said: "Then the rest of the arrangements, the subordinates will do it first." ”

Luo Qingzhi said "um" and said: "The court will only open on the fifteenth, and there are two days left, you closely monitor the Jin family, don't let them use tricks in Zhao Prison, the eldest princess will do everything in order to protect Jin Zijue, as long as the court is opened, my uncle will ask about it in the court, and in the past two days, we must be stable." ”

"Yes." Qin Shu nodded and asked, "I don't think Your Majesty will necessarily move Jin Zijue, and the Jin family is not an ordinary family." ”

Luo Qingzhi shook his head and said: "Your Majesty doesn't like others to force him the most, today Jin Zijue is too anxious, Your Majesty is suspicious, and he will definitely think afterwards, why did the assassin just happen to be mixed in the palace banquet, and this assassin was brought by the Jin family to report me, Your Majesty will definitely connect this matter with the palace banquet and think, if at this time, Jin Ziji just happened to intercede, hmph, this Jin Zijue will definitely not be able to keep it." ”

"But what if Your Majesty doesn't think much of it?" Qin Shu asked.

"Then, Empress Yang will definitely not let go of this opportunity, in short, this time, the best thing is to move the Jin family, and the most second, you can also move the queen of the middle palace." Luo Qingzhi said.

Luo Qingzhi continued: "In short, these two days are very critical, and you have to go back and forth to me at any time for every move of the Jin family. ”

"Yes."
