Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night, and the emperor had just laid down on the bed with Lin Fengzhi in his arms, when there was a hurried knock of the eunuch outside the door.

"Shengshang, the big thing is not good, the Zhou family is now kneeling outside the palace, waiting to see the Shengshang, and they say that they won't get up if they don't see the Shengshang."

The eunuch's shrill voice reached the emperor's ears through the door, instantly dispelling the emperor's interest.

The old emperor, who had been disturbed with a good thing, was full of displeasure, "Come in and tell me about it so late, what is the family crazy this week." ”

The eunuch pushed the door and entered, cautiously saying the collected news, "This...... It is said that the princess asked her subordinates to beat Zhou Wan'er to death. ”

"What!" The old emperor suddenly sat up in shock, the Zhou family is extremely heavy in the court, there are basically people from the Zhou family in the three books and six parts, and General Zhou is even more heavily armed, this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that he will not want to sit on the throne!

"Look at the good daughter you taught!"

The old emperor Long Yan was furious, pointing at Lin Fengzhi's hands and trembling.

Lin Fengzhi didn't expect Song Xinyu to do such a thing, she poured a cup of tea and handed it to the old emperor, and gently followed the old emperor's back with her other hand.

"Holy Lord, drink saliva, don't be angry."

The old emperor took the teacup, his mood calmed down a little, and he only heard Lin Fengzhi say again: "Xinyu has always been well-behaved, I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding in this matter, so it's better for the saint to let the concubines follow him to take a look." ”

"It's okay, you come with me."

A moment later, the old emperor and Lin Fengzhi arrived at the gate of the palace together.

I saw that there was a white expanse at the door, and the Zhou family had all changed into mourning clothes, kneeling on the ground in unison, and even the old patriarch of the Zhou family was dispatched, following General Zhou and Mrs. Zhou to kneel in the front row.

Seeing this, the old emperor stepped forward anxiously, "Zhong Aiqing, what are you doing, don't hurry up." ”

However, no one got up, and the Zhou family still knelt straight on the ground.

The patriarch bowed deeply to the old emperor, "Today's princess, privately let the palace people kill Zhou Wan'er, the daughter of my Zhou family's big house, and ask the emperor to uphold justice for my Zhou family!" ”

"Is there a misunderstanding here?"

After hearing this, General Zhou suddenly raised his head, his eyes split, "How can there be a misunderstanding!" I saw it with my own eyes, and my daughter, who was so miserable, was beaten on the back without a good piece of meat, and her body was still sitting at home. ”

"The princess is so disregard for human life, she uses torture in private, and she deserves the punishment of exile according to the law, and she asks the Holy Lord to deal with it impartially!"

As soon as the patriarch said this, everyone in the Zhou family shouted in unison, "Please deal with it impartially with the Holy Lord!" ”

Lin Fengzhi's eyes were cold after hearing this, she was afraid that her family was tired of being alive this week, and she wanted to attack her daughter.

Approaching the old emperor's ear, Lin Fengzhi covered his mouth with one hand and whispered, "Holy Lord, General Zhou is just a dead daughter, where is it worth the Zhou family to spend so much time, even the patriarch has been dispatched." ”

Glancing at the old emperor's face, Lin Fengzhi's lips opened slightly, and the prickly words kept stimulating the old emperor's suspicious heart.

"The Zhou family is testing the saint, if the saint really punishes the heart according to the meaning of the Zhou family, I am afraid that the Zhou family will rely on the power in their hands and act more unscrupulously!"

Lin Fengzhi raised his chin in the direction of the Zhou family and motioned for the emperor to look over.

"Holy Lord, look at it, when this kind of thing happens, the Zhou family doesn't play, but kneels directly at the gate of the palace, where is it to seek justice, according to the opinion of the concubines, it is better to give the Zhou family a reward, the big thing is turned into nothing, and the matter is settled first."

At this time, the guards sent by the emperor to investigate the matter also came back and told the emperor about the cause and effect.

The old emperor coughed twice and personally stepped forward to pick up the Zhou family patriarch.

"I have already understood this matter, it was Zhou Wan'er who did it, and the following offenses were committed first, and she was slightly punished, but she did not supervise the palace people well, so that the palace people killed Zhou Wan'er by mistake, which is her fault."

Facing the people of the Zhou family, the emperor tried to appease the Zhou family with a reward, "I will reward the Zhou family with 10,000 taels of gold, and execute the palace people who did it to Zhou Wan'er, so you are satisfied?" ”

The Zhou family was resentful in their hearts, and their Zhou family was also in the sea of corpses and blood in order for the emperor to sit on the throne.

Now it's just a princess, and she actually said that she would do it to their Zhou family, and she didn't take their Zhou family seriously!

At that moment, some Zhou family members shouted, "We don't want to reward, please ask the emperor to give justice to my Zhou family!" ”

Mrs. Zhou was even more sad and angry, tears flowed from Mrs. Zhou's eyes as if she didn't want money, Zhou Wan'er was pregnant in October, and she was born after a day of pain, just these things, she actually wanted to buy her daughter's life, dreaming!

"My daughter is dead, so what is the use of my reward? Please Holy Mingjian, punish according to the law, otherwise I will kneel here today, so that the people who wake up tomorrow morning will know how the princess cares about people's lives today! ”

Lin Fengzhi saw that things were not good, so she hurriedly stepped forward, "Holy Lord, this matter starts from the heart, it is better to let the concubine deal with it." ”

The Emperor pinched his eyebrows, and his chin agreed.

Seeing this, Lin Fengzhi walked in front of General Zhou, "Although there is something wrong with the words in my heart, Zhou Wan'er is not without mistakes, the Holy Lord has ordered the execution of the palace people who did something to Zhou Wan'er, which can be regarded as giving Zhou Wan'er an explanation." ”

"In addition, General Zhou, you have a chance to be promoted, and as long as you are the heir of the clan recommended by General Zhou, you can use this opportunity, and at the same time, as long as the Zhou family needs help, this palace will never shirk if it can help."

Lin Fengzhi is the daughter of the prime minister, and her maternal family is huge, and with her words, it can be regarded as the Lin family selling the Zhou family a favor.

"I disagree!" Mrs. Zhou's crying liver and intestines were broken, and she was attacked by the urgency of Lin Fengzhi's words, and she actually fainted from crying at this moment.

"Madame!" General Zhou was shocked and hurriedly hugged Mrs. Zhou, who was crying and fainting, into his arms.

The scene was directly deadlocked, and the patriarch thought for a long time, weighed the pros and cons, and persuaded General Zhou in his ear.

"I know that you are sad to lose your daughter, but you have to consider the Zhou family's clansmen, with this opportunity to be recommended and promoted, my Zhou family will have more say and more power in the court."

"Patriarch!" General Zhou had a little disappointment in his eyes.

The old patriarch naturally understood General Zhou's reluctance, but for the sake of the future of the Zhou family, he had to persuade him.

"You are also a member of the Zhou family, the Zhou family is strong, it will only be beneficial to you, and the current attitude of the saint is obviously to protect the princess, let's take a long-term view of this matter, and I am not afraid that we will not be able to catch the princess in the future."

The old patriarch represents the Zhou family, and many of the Zhou family members here came here because the old patriarch was here.

Now that the old patriarch has compromised, General Zhou can only agree to come down in desperation.
