(Girls' Literature)

The third prince looked at her fixedly, and only after a while did he smile mockingly and said, "Yes, since it is biological, I know it." ”

Know? Know what?

Qi Miao didn't have the ability to read minds, and he couldn't guess the inexplicable words of the third prince, so he naturally wrote curiosity in his eyes. She was born with a pair of bright apricot eyes, and her eyes were very charming when she looked at people, but now under such doubts, a pair of eyes seemed to be able to speak, and the three princes' originally not very calm hearts were aroused.

"What else should I pay attention to on weekdays?" the third prince didn't say much and diverted the topic.

Qi Miao naturally won't chase after him, after all, she is not familiar with the three princes, and her husband is the companion of King De, she has been classified as a faction of King De, and the three princes are injured by their own King De, and she is ordered to heal, and it may not be able to get closer to the three princes.

Thinking of this, she carefully explained the things that need attention to the third prince's injury.

The three princes were careless, but the attendants beside him carefully wrote down Qi Miao's instructions.

After finishing speaking, Qi Miao didn't want to stay here any longer, so she said: "Your Royal Highness has a good rest, and I will retire." ”

The third prince just waved his hand slightly, saluted by Qi Miao, and respectfully retreated.

As soon as Qi Miao left, he wrinkled his brows.

Will she really heal him?

What if she had listened to the king's command to harm him?

What if she tried her best and couldn't heal his leg?

The third prince grabbed the brocade quilt with both hands, and his aching legs covered his head under the quilt, and the throbbing pain reminded him that he might have become a waste, thinking that the Prancing Horse Plain was hearty in the past, and he might not be able to do it again in the future, the third prince felt that his heart was as sad as a knife, and the hatred for the fourth prince who deliberately harmed him was even worse.

"Someone. ”

"Your Highness, the slave is here. "The chamberlain saluted.

"After coming back, what did my father do with the fourth child?"

"Back to His Royal Highness, the emperor ordered the four highnesses to be grounded, not to leave the palace and his bedroom, and not to allow anyone to visit. ”

The third prince's brows gradually condensed.

Is it simply grounded? Is there no further disposition? Is it not enough for his father to vent his evil anger for her?

The unevenness in his heart rose, as if it was about to crush him.

The chamberlain observed the words and looks, and when he saw that the third prince was so unhappy, he naturally didn't dare to say more.

And Qi Miao, who left the palace and was walking on the way back to the house in a carriage, heard a distant bell.

Qi Miao was stunned for a moment, a little curious.

This is in the center of Kyoto City, there are no ancient temples around, and it is not yet time, how can there be a bell?

She knew that the big bell of Shuntianfu would only be ringed for major events such as the national funeral and the new emperor's accession to the throne, but today's bell is not like that.

By the time the bell had cleared, it had been struck twelve times!

Before Qi Miao could search for the hidden memories in her body, Yulian had already said, "This is someone who wants to file a complaint against the emperor!"

Qi Miao was stunned.

If you think about it, there is such a thing.

When the Great Zhou Dynasty was founded, Taizu also opened up the way for ordinary people, and did not want to oppress the people like in the previous dynasty, so that people had nowhere to sue, in order to give those who were wronged a chance to reach the heavens.

If you sue the officials with the people, you can go to Shuntianfu to beat the drum, and after beating the drum, you must hit the forty boards before you open your mouth.

And if you want to sue the royal court, you have to ring the bell of Shuntianfu twelve times!

And whoever strikes the bell, whether he can win or not, will die in the end.

Yes, this bell that can reach the heavens to hear the grievances, since it was set up, it has only been sounded once a few years ago, and the wronged sufferer still has a great grievance, and the emperor presided over justice, and after returning the innocence of more than 80 souls of the family, he laughed and killed himself.

Today, is there such a strange injustice again?

Although Qi Miao was curious, she also knew that it was not good to rush into the fun with such things that had nothing to do with her, so as not to get angry.

"Let's go home. ”

"Yes. ”

The carriage continued on its way to the Grange.

At the same time, the emperor had already stood up with great interest, after all, this was such a major event when he was the emperor.

The emperor said to the king and the ministers, who were talking back, "It seems that there is a great grievance. Go and bring the person who rang the bell to me into the Shuntian Mansion, Su Mingbo. ”

"The slave is here. The great eunuch Su Mingbo saluted.

The emperor said: "Drive the Shuntian Mansion." ”

"Yes. Su Mingbo immediately went to make arrangements.

Wan Congyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, that is, the father of Wan Guifei and the grandfather of the second prince, said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this time you go in person, it is also the blessing of the person who complained, the emperor personally presides over justice, it is the blessing of the people, but I don't know why this matter, in order to ensure your safety, in case there are small people who lead you out with bad intentions, we still need to make arrangements before we act." ”

"What Master Wan said was polite. The second prince also said.

The emperor nodded and said, "Then you can arrange it." Since this bell rings, there must be something important, and I must be there in person, and I must not break the rules of my ancestors. ”

"Yes. ”

All salute as it should be.

The palace people prepared the travel matters neatly, and arranged the surroundings of Shuntian Mansion properly, and the imperial forest army went out to clear a road, and the emperor took people to go.

Because the bell has not sounded for a long time, it is almost a mythical existence of the Great Zhou Dynasty, curious people abound, and before the emperor arrived, there were already many people around Shuntian Mansion, ready to see the excitement.

The emperor's carriage was from far and near, and along the way, people knelt down the mountain and shouted long live.

Under such a huge momentum, the emperor got off the dragon chariot, and Shuntianfu Yin and others saluted together and said long live.

The emperor waved his hand and said curiously, "Who is the one who is complaining?"

Shuntianfu Yin said: "It's a couple. At this time, he is in the hall, please move the emperor to drive the hall. ”

The emperor bowed his head and led the people forward.

After the emperor sat upright in the first place, important figures such as the second prince, Wan Congyuan, the secretary of the military department, and other important figures stood on the left and right, and the imperial guards did the defense.

Shuntian Mansion Yin Langsheng ordered to go down. In a short time, two men were brought in.

The emperor squinted and looked closely.

I saw kneeling on the ground, there were two middle-aged people, a man and a woman, the man was born with a simple face, and the woman was extremely upright, and it could be seen that he should be an extremely beautiful person when he was young, and he was in his early fifties.

Both of them knelt, their faces were pale, and their bodies trembled slightly, but they both lowered their eyebrows and did not dare to look directly at Tianyan.

The emperor raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you know that if you hit the bell of injustice, even if you win this lawsuit, you will have to pay the price of your life?"

The middle-aged couple looked at each other and nodded.

"The grass people know. It's just that the grass people really can't bear this breath in their hearts. The man's voice trembled.

The woman was already in tears: "I ask the emperor to be the master of the grass people." “

When the emperor saw them like this, he said, "Whom do you want to accuse, and what grievances do you have?"

The woman gritted her teeth and said: "The grass people want to sue Bai Xiyun, the prince of the Anlu Hou Mansion, he doesn't talk about filial piety and doesn't support his parents!"
