Wei Zhongxian said: "As long as the princess spends a few nights with her minions, everything is easy to discuss." When Wang Shuqiu heard this, her face changed greatly, and she said, "You ······ You are a eunuch, you are bold, and you are not afraid that I will sue you to the emperor. Wei Zhongxian said: "Princess, the slave is never afraid of your complaint." Although the slave is a eunuch, after all, there is still a little bit of manliness. What's more, the minions have slept with several princesses, including the rooftop princess who used to be your nemesis, haha! ”

Wang Shuqiu was even more annoyed, this slave was so hateful that he dared to touch the princesses, this is a crime that cannot be punished. But he handled it calmly and shamelessly. Wei Zhongxian said: "Princess, you have to think clearly, so many lives in the Jiang family are all on your mind. Don't regret it. Wang Shuqiu was extremely contemptuous, looked at Wei Zhongxian and said, "Wei Zhongxian, don't be delusional. I don't believe you can cover the sky with one hand. ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "The slave will see what the princess has to save people." Don't forget, the emperor gave the minions full authority to do it. The slave gave them life and death. Wang Shuqiu said: "Wei Zhongxian, if you dare to touch their cold hair, I will definitely not let you go." Wei Zhongxian said: "You are threatening me." You're not qualified enough. Wang Shuqiu brushed her sleeves away, and Wei Zhongxian thought to himself: This girl has a murderous aura, and she should not be underestimated. Think of a way to deal with it.

Wang Shuqiu returned to the princess's mansion, and Peng Xuan was waiting for the only big savior. As soon as he saw the big savior come back, Peng Xuan stepped forward and asked anxiously, "Princess, how is it?" Wang Shuqiu said: "The emperor originally agreed, but Wei Zhongxian got in the way. Peng Xuan said: "How is that good?" Wang Shuqiu said: "Wei Zhongxian said that he would interrogate, and he would first see the results of his interrogation before making plans." Brother Peng, don't worry, even if you fight for my life, you will save the senior sister's family. Peng Xuan choked up and said, "Thank you, princess!" Wang Shuqiu said: "Xiluo, you go to Dongchang to inquire, and come back to tell me as soon as there is a situation." Shen Xiluo said: "Master, don't worry, the slave will go and inquire." ”

In the past few days, Wang Shuqiu has been restless, and she is also absent-minded in practicing swords, only thinking about the verdict of Jiang Kexin's family. Although he felt that Wei Zhongxian would definitely bend the law, he still had a glimmer of hope. After all, Dongchang is trying cases on behalf of the imperial court. In the days of waiting, one day, the queen invited Wang Shuqiu into the palace.

Empress Zhang is virtuous and virtuous, and she is a rare good queen in the Ming Dynasty. Empress Zhang is younger than Wang Shuqiu, but she knows the general situation. The two were talking happily, and someone from outside the Kunning Palace came in, bowed down and said, "Yu Niangniang, Shen Xiluo wants to see the princess?" Wang Shuqiu hurriedly said: "It's my eunuch, call him in." Empress Zhang didn't think it was angry and nodded.

Shen Xiluo came in, first saluted Empress Zhang, and then said to Wang Shuqiu: "Master, the Jiangfu case has a result. Wang Shuqiu said: "How?" Shen Xiluo said: "The whole family is beheaded!" Wang Shuqiu Huo Ran got up and said, "What? Behead the whole family! Then he was angry and said, "Good Wei Zhongxian, you are too domineering." ”

Empress Zhang asked, "What's the matter?" During Wang Shuqiu's conversation, she knew that Empress Zhang was unimpressed with what Wei Zhongxian had done. Perhaps the benevolent queen could help her. Wang Shuqiu knelt down abruptly and said, "Ask the queen for help!" Empress Zhang hurriedly helped her up and said, "Sister Huang, we are all a family, hurry up and speak." Wang Shuqiu then told Queen Zhang what happened. Empress Zhang pondered for a while and said, "The people of the Jiang family are not guilty to death, and I can't imagine that Wei Zhongxian bent the law for personal gain and killed innocents indiscriminately. Let's go see the emperor. ”

Zhu Youxiao was in full swing in the Imperial Garden, doing carpentry work. Wei Zhongxian and Rong stood aside and watched, admiring from time to time. Zhu Youxiao listened to the praise and worked harder. When Wei Zhongxian and the Rong family saw Empress Zhang and Wang Shuqiu coming, they bowed and saluted. Zhu Youxiao wiped his sweat with his sleeves, looked up suddenly and saw Empress Zhang and Wang Shuqiu, then smiled and said, "The queen and the imperial sister are here." Come! Look at my masterpiece. ”

Empress Zhang smiled: "The emperor's craftsmanship has become more and more dexterous. Zhu Youxiao smiled happily. Empress Zhang said: "The concubine has something she wants to ask Father-in-law Wei. Zhu Youxiao pointed at Wei Zhongxian and said, "Wei Aiqing is here!" Wei Zhongxian said: "I don't know what Niangniang commands?" Empress Zhang said: "I don't know why Gonggong Wei sentenced the Jiang family to be beheaded?" Wei Zhongxian glanced at Wang Shuqiu and said solemnly: "Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, colluding with the traitorous party, brutalizing Zhongliang, and preying on the people." ”

Empress Zhang said: "Is it true? Wei Zhongxian said: "Every sentence is true!" The prisoner has also drawn a confession! Wang Shuqiu said coldly: "It was caused by Gonggong Wei's torture to extract a confession!" Wei Zhongxian said: "The princess's words, the slave can't afford it." The slave is the emperor's will. There is no excuse for favoritism. ”

Wang Shuqiu said: "With so many big crimes on the head of an ordinary family, Grandpa Wei seems to be hasty!" Wei Zhongxian said: "The evidence is conclusive, and the people of the Jiang family cannot deny it." Wang Shuqiu said: "What about the evidence? Let me see! Wei Zhongxian said: "What the slave does is the affairs of the court, and the woman is not allowed to interfere." Wang Shuqiu sneered: "There is no evidence!" Fabricating perjury and framing the good is a great crime of deception. ”

Wei Zhongxian said angrily: "The princess keeps saying that the slave bullies the king, but there is real evidence. Wang Shuqiu said: "To behead dozens of people from the Jiang family is evidence that you are deceiving the king." Wei Zhongxian said: "Princess, you are spewing people with blood, trapping slaves for disloyalty and injustice. Wang Shuqiu said: "You are originally a disloyal and unrighteous person. ”

"Alright! That's enough! Don't you want me to work in peace? Zhu Youxiao was so angry that he threw away the tools. Rong and Empress Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to comfort them. Zhu Youxiao said: "Sister Huang, do you have to save the Jiang family?" Wang Shuqiu said: "The Jiang family has a great kindness to me, even if I don't want to save their family." Zhu Youxiao said: "You are the most concerned about the first emperor, and you still held my hand before the collapse, and asked me to take care of you no matter what." For the sake of the first emperor, the Jiang family was exempted from the death penalty. Wang Shuqiu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Emperor!" ”

Wei Zhongxian hurriedly said: "The emperor has let go of the thief so rashly, I am afraid that the world will not accept it." In the future, the anti-thieves will have no scruples, and the Ming Dynasty may not be protected! Think twice! Zhu Youxiao said: "What do you say?" Wei Zhongxian said: "If they must be exempted from capital crimes, they cannot be exempted for no reason." Only they will make amends for their sins. Zhu Youxiao said: "How to make up for the sin?" ”

Wei Zhongxian said: "It's okay to kill the enemy and serve the country." According to the spy report, the Jin chief Nurhachi led a large army south, as long as they can assassinate Nurhachi, pardon the Jiang family's capital crimes can be justified, and maybe they can be rewarded for this. Wang Shuqiu said angrily: "You are clearly sending them to death, what is the difference between this and being killed by you." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "This is also a way. Guilty of meritorious service, maybe they are ashamed to almost kill Nurhachi, and we can sit back and relax. Sister Huang, you also hope that our Daming is as stable as a rock! Wei Zhongxian said with a smile: "The princess is a descendant of the surname Zhu, of course I hope that Daming will prosper and enjoy peace forever!" ”

Wang Shuqiu knew that it was time to make a choice, and if they were allowed to make meritorious contributions, it would be tantamount to death. If you don't go, you will be beheaded immediately. After thinking about it again and again, she made a shocking decision. Wei Zhongxian said: "I don't know what the princess thinks?" Wang Shuqiu groaned: "I will assassinate Nurhachi for them." As soon as these words came out, the people present were dumbfounded.

Empress Zhang said: "Sister Huang, you have to think clearly. Wang Shuqiu said: "In order to save the people of the Jiang family, I must fight." Wei Zhongxian gave a thumbs up and said: "The princess is worthy of being a descendant of the Taizu, and she is not afraid of everything, which is really commendable." This is the blessing of the Ming Dynasty and the blessing of the emperor! Rong also echoed: "The princess will definitely bring the head of Nurhachi to sacrifice the spirit of the first emperor." ”

Empress Zhang said: "This palace thinks it's inappropriate, how can you let the imperial sister be in danger." Wei Zhongxian said: "Niangniang don't worry, the princess can go to Ningyuan City, guarding this city is the famous general Yuan Chonghuan, guarding the city with him, the golden slave is not afraid at all, assassinating Nurhachi, the slave thinks that the princess is captured." Your Majesty, is the princess well aware of righteousness, and only in this way can the subjects of the world be convinced that the emperor is the king of Yao Shun. ”

Zhu Youxiao asked, "Sister Huang, are you really willing to go?" Wang Shuqiu said categorically: "You have to go!" Zhu Youxiao hesitated, and Wei Zhongxian said: "The princess's heart to serve the country with blood cannot be stopped, and the servant decided to send an attendant to witness the princess's great victory." Zhu Youxiao no longer hesitated, and said: "I will play on time, all the people and things that the imperial sister needs to go to Ningyuan will be played." Wang Shuqiu said: "Thank you, Emperor!" ”

Zhu Youxiao asked, "When will the imperial sister leave?" Wang Shuqiu said: "Leave tomorrow." Zhu Youxiao said: "Quasi-play!" ”
