The carriage traveled for more than a month.

By the time the day came, the original wedding date had passed.

On the way, Su Fei received a holy decree from His Majesty, ordering Su Fei to return to the palace with Qi Song.

In Xiqina, there is no process.

It's just that on the day of the wedding, the family sent her into the palace, put on the clothes of the crown prince's side concubine, gave a salute to the queen mother, the emperor and the crown princess, and then entered a cave room with the prince, which was considered a ceremony.

But that's fine.

Save yourself from going back to the mansion to have those troubles.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, for the matter of Su Jin and Song Jing'an, Su Fei was ordered to come to the palace with Qi Song to face the saint.

Approaching the main hall, Qi Song suddenly grabbed Su Fei and whispered in her ear, "Although you go to avenge that lady, my father has already made a decision." ”

Su Fei nodded clearly, "I know Your Highness." ”

By this time the temple was full of kneeling men.

There is Su Xunzhi, and there is also Su Jin.

There is Song Jing'an, who was called back from Jinyang at some point, and Lord Song, who can see the arrogance of Zhongshu Ling when he kneels on the ground.

Su Fei followed Qi Song to several people and knelt down towards the emperor.

"Courtier Su Fei, meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty Wan'an."

She couldn't look up, she couldn't see the emperor's expression, she could only hear the emperor's voice.

"I have heard that this time the plague in Jinyang, it was you who found a prescription to rescue the people of Jinyang from the dire situation, and you did a good job, and your grandmother raised you well. was framed in Jinyang again, almost lost his life, and suffered many grievances. I intend to choose an auspicious day to arrange the marriage between you and the prince according to the concubine etiquette system. ”

"The courtiers are grateful for Your Majesty's grace. But the prescription was not developed by the courtiers, and it was also obtained by chance. As the people of Xiqi, this is a matter that courtiers should do their part. Thanks to the blessings of His Majesty and His Royal Highness, it is the best reward for the courtiers to return safely. ”

The emperor was silent for a while, and only after a while did he speak: "Now that I have read a lot of testimonies, which clearly write the crimes of your sister-in-law Su Fei and Song Jing'an, what do you think about this?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the courtiers are deeply saddened and mourn for the people who are suffering from the plague."

"Sad? Raised his head and looked at me. ”

Hearing this, Su Fei raised his head and looked directly at the emperor.

The emperor in his fifties, his face covered with deep furrow folds, looked like a man in his sixties.

His temples were gray, and his beard was more than half white.

But those eyes were bright, and I still felt my heart tremble when I looked at them.

In addition to the scrawny victims who came to ask for porridge, the courtiers saw the corpses covered with white cloth and carried out one after another. The courtiers once asked curiously, but they received an answer that there were more people dying of hunger than those dying of illness. Only then did the courtiers realize that the porridge they gave out was something more important than gold to them at that moment. That's the hope of a family of three, five, or even more to live. ”

She paused.

They thought that they could escape the plague with this bowl of hope, and that they would eventually live a peaceful life. But since this happened, they did not dare to come to receive porridge again. More and more people are dying of hunger, and even when I go out to deliver bowls and bowls, they refuse to ask for them. A child once went to pick up a bowl of porridge that my mother had knocked on the ground, and his mother beat him up, and within a few days I found his body on the street. ”

She smiled and shook her head, her eyes like a desert.

"Because we are pampered, think very highly of ourselves, and enjoy the luxury brought by the honor and glory of the aristocracy, but we still want to be the crown princess, the queen, and the uncle of the country, and sit in a position above ten thousand people under one person. Because of these absurd reasons, I don't know how many people died. They don't even know what they died for. The courtiers felt pathetic. ”

Su Fei clearly saw that the emperor gritted his teeth.

He slammed a wad of testimonies on the ground.

"The two princes, do you understand clearly?"

Su Xunzhi buried his head low and didn't speak, and Lord Song hesitated for a while, but still opened his mouth to plead.

"Your Majesty can't rely on the words of this woman alone, these testimonies have not yet been verified to be true or false. I beg Your Majesty to find out the truth and return the child to innocence! ”

"If I don't punish him, how can I be worthy of the people who died unjustly?"

"Your Majesty! Xiao'er guards Jinyang, and has saved several lives over the years, so I ask Your Highness for mercy! ”

Seeing this, Qi Song also knelt on the ground.

"Father, the son asks his father to severely punish the murderer and settle the injustice of the people in the world!"

Qi Song's request surprised the emperor.

He groaned for a moment.

The sinner Su Jin was sentenced to beheading, and his father Su Xunzhi made a big mistake because his goddaughter had no way, so he was demoted to five grades, deprived of his title, and fined him for one year. The sinner Song Jing'an was sentenced to beheading, and he was beheaded on a later date. His father, Song Heng, was deprived of his title and fined for one year. ”

Hearing this, Su Jin looked at Su Fei with round eyes.

"Su Fei, it's you! It's you! ”

Su Fei thanked His Majesty, and when he heard Su Jin's shout in the chaos behind him, his body was crooked, and his eyes closed and he fell to the ground.

"Su Fei!"

She heard Qi Song calling her, and the next second she was picked up and rushed out of the hall.

She was carried to the bed, felt the imperial doctor come to check her pulse, slowly opened her eyes, and looked at the side of the bed standing with an anxious expression.

"Your Highness......"

"Are you awake? Don't move yet, Lord Wang will check your pulse. ”

Su Fei obediently remained silent, and after a while, Imperial Physician Wang immediately got up in a hurry, with a hint of hesitation on his surprised face.
