The prison of the Criminal Department is so lively today, and the prison officials do not know how much they have received.

Lu Wanzhi was moved when she saw the students of the Tianzi class who came to visit her and Xie Jin one by one.

Although the students of the Tianzi class were surprised that the brother who ate and rowed with them was actually a woman, but when Xie Jin had an accident at this time, they naturally would not care, and would only do their best to help.

Shen Luozhi said to Lu Wanzhi outside the prison: "Wanzhi, you have a good rest in the prison, and we will do our best to rescue you and Xie Jin." ”

Lu Wanzhi saw Shen Luozhi in front of her, nodded lightly at him and said, "Thank you." ”

After Shen Luozhi left the prison, he went to find his grandfather.

Shen Guogong saw Shen Luo come before and said, "You just came back from the prison of the Criminal Department?" ”

Shen Luozhi arched his hand and said: "Yes, grandfather, Wanzhi was killed by a traitor, and his grandson should visit him as a disciple." ”

Shen Guogong teased the parrot in front of him and said, "The eldest girl of the Lu family is also asking for trouble this time. ”

Shen Luozhi knelt in front of Shen Guogong and said: "Grandfather, last time you said that if your grandson is not the head of the Shen family, you will allow your grandson to marry the person you like, and your grandson is now willing to give up the position of the son of the world and marry Lu Wanzhi as his wife!" ”

Shen Guogong teased the parrot's hand for a moment, and looked at Shen Luozhi coldly: "Luo Zhi, have you ever thought about your mother when you say that?" ”

Shen Luozhi bowed his head and said: "Grandfather, my grandson is now twenty-two years old, and I have been unable to have an official position in the court all these years, all because my grandson is cowardly and incompetent.

I believe in my own ability, even if I don't have the position of the prince of Zhenguo, I can make achievements in the imperial court and make my wife and son.

And if I am foolish and filial piety and don't embarrass my mother, then even if I am the son of the country, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on the heavy responsibility of the head of the Shen family in the future, and I hope that my grandfather will fulfill me and Lu Wanzhi. ”

Zhenguo said: "Even if I fulfill you, this Lu Wanzhi is already in prison, I'm afraid that it will be more auspicious."

This time, the King of Jin and many literati who failed in the state examination are all accusing Lu Wanzhi of bullying the monarch, and Si Chen asked a woman to pretend to be a man for the scientific examination, which is a big matter, even if His Majesty favors the Lu family, I am afraid that he will not be able to easily avoid the death penalty. ”

Shen Luozhi said: "Grandfather, the child will think of saving Lu Wanzhi, if Wanzhi is safe this time, I hope that my grandfather can promise my grandson to go to Lu's house to propose marriage." ”

Zhen Guogong said in a deep voice: "Wait until Lu Wanzhi escapes this catastrophe first." ”

……

In the afternoon, when the sun was the sunniest, the Queen Mother heard that Zhao Heng was kneeling at the door of Zichen Palace, and even came over to look.

Seeing her grandchildren and granddaughters who were tanned, the Queen Mother's heart was full of distress.

"Heng'er, Huaying, you two hurry up!"

Zhao Heng saw the Queen Mother in front of him and said, "Grandmother Huang, if Uncle Huang doesn't agree to let Wanzhi go, I won't be able to kneel and get up." ”

The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Heng'er, get up, you can't embarrass your imperial uncle like this!" ”

Zhao Heng still didn't get up, still kneeling, Hua Ying also knelt and said: "Grandmother Huang, if my father doesn't let Lu Wanzhi go, I can't afford to kneel for a long time." ”

The Queen Mother looked at the two of them and sighed: "That's it, come here, find the imperial doctor to wait on the side, don't let them have an accident." ”

After that, the Queen Mother sighed and left.

At dusk, Zhao Heng's kneeling knee was unconscious, and he stood up to the side.

Hua Ying looked up at Zhao Heng and said, "Aren't you kneeling?" ”

Zhao Heng said: "Kneel, but let me go to Gongfang first." ”

Hua Ying: "......"

The sky was dark, and after the king of Chu came out of the Zichen Palace, he saw Zhao Heng, who was still kneeling, and said: "Get up, this time Wanzhi made a big mistake, and Your Majesty can't ignore the court literati." ”

Zhao Heng said: "I can't afford it, if Uncle Huang doesn't let Lu Wanzhi and Xie Jin go for a day, I can't afford it for a day." ”

"Me too!" Hua Ying said beside Zhao Heng.

The King of Chu sighed and said, "What's the use of you doing this? Will Your Majesty still be threatened by you two juniors? ”

"Lord Chu!" Lu Hang walked to the side of the King of Chu and bowed.

When the king of Chu saw Lu Hangdao, he said: "Lu Xian's nephew doesn't have to be polite, you came just in time, persuade Hua Ying not to kneel here." ”

The king of Chu said to Zhao Heng again: "You also hurry up!" ”

"I can't afford it!"

Zhao Heng didn't believe that Uncle Huang could really be so ruthless.

When the king of Chu heard Zhao Heng say this, he shook his sleeves angrily and said, "Whatever you want, this king will go back to the house first." ”

After the king of Chu left, Lu Hang said to Hua Ying on the side: "Get up, you kneeling like this will not help save Wanzhi." ”

Hua Ying raised her eyes and looked at Lu Hangdao: "I believe that my father will not be so ruthless, Lu Hang, since I am married to you, Wanzhi is my sister, as the eldest sister-in-law, I just want to do my best." ”

Lu Hang looked at the light in Hua Ying's eyes and pulled Hua Ying up: "This is useless work, go home first, and think about it in the long run." ”

Hua Ying listened to Lu Hang's words, but after all, she didn't say anything.

Zhao Heng saw Hua Ying and Lu Hang leave, he still knelt in place, listening to the gurgling of his lower abdomen.

The queen came over with a food box, walked to Zhao Heng and said, "Heng'er, this is what my aunt ordered the imperial chef to make for you, your favorite dishes, get up and eat quickly." ”

Although Zhao Heng also wanted to eat it, he said: "Auntie, if the imperial uncle is unwilling to let Wanzhi go, I won't eat it, seeing that it is going to be dark, Zhizhi will be afraid in prison, she was sick yesterday...... How can I eat? ”

The queen said: "Do you still have the heart to control your Zhizhi?" See what you've been tanned for? Hurry up and eat, as for Wanzhi, my aunt promised you that she would never risk her life. ”

Zhao Heng said: "I can't let her stay in prison anymore, I've been to that prison, it's not a place for people to stay at all, when I think about Zhizhi living there, I can't eat!" ”

The queen sighed and entered the Zichen Palace.

Emperor Jing Yuan was still reviewing the folds, and when he saw the queen come in, he said, "Why are you here?" ”

The queen said angrily: "Your Majesty is really ruthless, Heng'er is also something you grew up watching, he has been kneeling like this for a long time, he has not sunburned a layer of skin with lunch, and he has not eaten a drop of water, are you even indifferent?" ”

Emperor Jingyuan said: "I want Heng'er to retreat despite the difficulties, this time Lu Wanzhi committed no small mistake, conniving at female apprentices to pretend to be men in the imperial examination, this is the crime of bullying the king!"

If Lu Wanzhi changes Xie Jin's household registration today, if he is not punished, someone will change his name and household registration tomorrow to participate in the scientific examination, how can the imperial examination be fair and just?

This time, the students who failed in the state examination have gone to the book one after another, and many imperial histories have also made me unable to spare Lu Wanzhi, I am still wondering if I can exempt Lu Wanzhi from the death penalty, how can I easily release her from prison? ”

The queen was surprised: "You want to condemn Lu Wanzhi to death?" You convicted Lu Wanzhi of capital crime, what should Heng'er do? What should Huaying do? She has only been married to the Lu family for a few days, you have condemned the daughter of the Lu family to death, can Hua Ying and Lu Juma still be harmonious as husband and wife?

And Old Master Lu has only been gone for three years, and you want his granddaughter's life, which will inevitably make the old minister feel cold! ”

Emperor Jing Yuan sighed and said: "Empress, the country has national laws!" ”

Queen Gu frowned and said: "This palace doesn't know what national law is, this palace only knows, if Heng'er has a good one, I have no shame to go to see my sister."

My sister asked me to take care of Heng'er on her deathbed, but I couldn't even keep the woman Heng'er loved, how could I have the face to see her?

If Your Majesty wants to condemn Lu Wanzhi's capital crime, it is better to condemn even the capital crime of this palace. ”

Emperor Jingyuan listened to Empress Gu still take a bite of the palace in front of him, and said, "Do you really think that I dare not condemn you?" Do you still look like the mother of a nation?

The queen mother also knows the powerful relationship this time, and she didn't condone Heng'er, but you still have to connive? Heng'er is so willful, she is spoiled by you! ”

Zhao Heng listened to the quarrel in the Zichen Hall outside, got up and entered, knelt in front of Emperor Jingyuan and said: "Uncle Huang, don't blame my aunt, everything is my own will, it has nothing to do with my aunt, my aunt just feels sorry for me!" ”

Queen Gu listened to Zhao Heng's words and touched Zhao Heng's head, "Heng'er is still the most well-behaved, and my aunt didn't hurt you in the end." ”

Emperor Jing Yuan was even more annoyed and said: "Zhao Heng, this time I can't ignore the law of the country in vain, even if you can't afford to go on a hunger strike for a long time, I won't spare Lu Wanzhi lightly!" ”
