Shen Shiyun said: "But if there is no such thing, then it must be dealt with according to the law to show the world, and I am not a coward who appoints others." Fu Lin nodded approvingly and said, "It's still Concubine Yun who is reasonable." He didn't know what Shen Shiyun was thinking in his heart: "It's bad, I'm afraid things are going to be bad." Fortunately, the palace foresaw it early, and found the scapegoat of Concubine Zhen in advance, and if there is any guilt at that time, it will all be blamed on her. ”

Not long after, two guards escorted Chen Xiangxiang into the hall and bowed and retreated. Chen Xiangxiang was very quiet this time, not crying or making trouble, and stood calmly in place. Fu Lin walked up to her and said gently: "I have been busy with state affairs for days, and I haven't taken care of you. Now that someone is crying out for you on the street, I have sworn that I will never let an innocent person die unjustly, and now I ask you again, can you confess?" Chen Xiangxiang shook her head, her eyes revealing tenacity. Fu Lin patted her on the shoulder and said, "Okay, if you have any grievances, even if you say it, I will make the decision for you." ”

Chen Xiangxiang pointed to her throat and waved her hand. Fu Lin said: "You don't want to say it, or do you have any troubles, and you can't say it directly?" Chen Xiangxiang shook her head, pointed a finger to the sky, and then pointed to her throat, and waved her hand. Raising his head, he spread his hands out, put them to his mouth in the shape of a bowl, pointed behind Fu Lin, and then pointed to his throat. Fu Lin vaguely guessed some clues, and deliberately asked, "Are you thirsty?"

Chen Xiangxiang knelt on the ground, kowtowed again and again, Zhen Ying hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't be deceived by her, no prisoner will admit that he is guilty." Just because she can't speak, and a few random gestures can prove her innocence, then the rest of the people follow suit, cutting off their tongues before committing crimes, won't they all be able to enjoy peace?" Fu Lin turned half of his body and said coldly: "She can't speak?

Zhen Ying opened her mouth and stammered, although it was Shen Shiyun who masterminded the use of poison, but she pinched Chen Xiangxiang's nose and poured it on her with her own hands. In case it can't be covered up, the emperor cares about the old feelings and executes himself, but he only puts Shen Shiyun in the cold palace, and after three years and five years, he remembers her good and forgives her sins, then he is too wronged. Shen Shiyun took a few steps forward, just in the blind corner of Fu Lin's eyes, glanced down at Chen Xiangxiang, showed a mocking smile, and said, "When the confession was recorded, the concubine was also present, and she was able to speak when she saw her. ”

Fu Lin said: "You mean she is pretending to be dumb, so what's the benefit?" Shen Shiyun smiled and said: "Emperor Shengming, just now this female prisoner raised her finger to the sky, her face was unwilling, according to the concubine's foolish opinion, she wanted to say that she was not born dumb, but gave dumb medicine to a treacherous villain with ulterior motives. Chen Xiangxiang was dumbfounded, unable to figure out how Shen Shiyun could confess to the crime in front of the emperor, but she always felt that this matter was not so simple. Fu Lin muttered, "You have a point, but if she can speak, who will she threaten?"

Shen Shiyun said: "Then I have to ask the emperor to speculate, the demon of the Shadow Sacrifice Sect is ruthless, Xu is afraid that she will not be able to torture her to extract a confession, and it will be unfavorable to her to tell the secrets in the sect, so it is reasonable to make her unable to speak first." Fu Lin frowned and said, "It's impossible, right? This demon girl is the daughter of the Demon Sect Master, how dare the disciples commit an offense and be so rude to her?"

Shen Shiyun smiled slightly, and said: "It's all in the past, she used to be a young lady, but now she is just a prisoner in the palace, and she will be executed in a few days, the anti-thief is the best at seeing the wind and steering the rudder, who is willing to bother to respect her? ”

Fu Lin bowed his head and said, "This is also true, you have a clear understanding of the inside of the Shadow Sacrifice Sect. Shen Shiyun said: "The war nobles know themselves and their opponents, and since the concubines want to completely exterminate the Demon Sect, they naturally have to know everything about the situation. Fu Lin said: "Concubine Yun's plan is really thoughtful......"

Chen Xiangxiang saw that Shen Shiyun easily turned the situation around, and finally tears flowed in her eyes, she suddenly got up and rushed to the table, grabbed a brush, and waved it indiscriminately. Fu Lin said: "Can you write? That's great! Come on, pen and ink are waiting." A few soldiers brought the four treasures of the study, dipped the tip of the pen in ink, and presented it with both hands. Fu Lin handed it to Chen Xiangxiang and said, "I will give you a chance to retract your confession, and write down everything you want to say." ”

Chen Xiangxiang was grateful, took the pen, and wrote stroke by stroke on the paper. Zhen Ying's heart fell straight down, and she hurriedly stopped in front of her a few steps, and said: "Your Majesty, do you believe what she writes......?" It's enough for me and Concubine Yun to watch. ”

Fu Lin said: "No matter how long she writes, I will read it, and it is not your turn to worry about it, get out of the way." Shen Shiyun was much calmer than Zhen Ying, she didn't say a word, she watched her write intently, thinking about finding flaws between the lines, and if there were words that were unfavorable to her, she would immediately defend them. She writes very slowly, far inferior to herself, and it is not difficult to refute it.

The three of them were staring at Chen Xiangxiang's confession, each anxious. Fu Lin didn't say it, and he was secretly suspicious of Shen Shiyun in his heart, but he really didn't want to accept it, and saw that she wrote: "The folk girl was originally the daughter of the wealthy Chen family in the capital, her maiden name was Xiangxiang, she was captured for no reason, and she was forced to take dumb medicine, and she was wronged, and the confession was forged by someone in person, and what was recorded was not the original intention of the folk girl." The people in the Demon Sect have a deep enmity with the royal family, and it is for the ...... that the people parade the streets" Shen Shiyun saw that if she wrote it down again, her conspiracy would be completely exposed, and the plan would be exhausted, and she also clenched a cold sweat in her palms.

At this time, a eunuch suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty, civil and military officials and new science and technology scholars have gathered in the Taihe Palace, just wait for the emperor to preside over the ceremony." Fu Lin's heart was also tormented, and there was finally something in front of him to stand in the way, and he was happy to push the boat along the river, even if he knew it later, he was busy: "Yes, this is a big deal, I can't delay, I will go over immediately." ”

Chen Xiangxiang panicked, threw away the pen with a flick of his hand, and pulled Fulin's sleeve. Fu Lin said: "You continue to write, and I will go back when I go." Yun'er, I promised to take you to the ceremony, so you can go with me, Concubine Zhen, you look at her. After thinking about it, he was a little uneasy, and ordered a few guards to guard. Shen Shiyun glanced at Zhen Ying before leaving, Zhen Ying nodded knowingly, Chen Xiangxiang had expected that the deadline was approaching, and her eyes turned empty.

That Taihe Hall is the place where many emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties held grand ceremonies, the decoration is very luxurious, the eaves are decorated with a row of dense buckets, and the seal color painting is of the highest level, which is located on the indoor and outdoor beams. The upper part of the door and window is inlaid with a diamond checkered pattern, and the lower part is embossed with a cloud dragon pattern, and the joints are equipped with gilded copper leaves engraved with dragon patterns. The gold bricks in the palace are paved, so it is also called the Golden Luan Palace.

A total of 72 large pillars support the weight, and there are nine dragons and gold lacquer thrones in the bright room, and there are four pairs of furnishings on the front two sides: the treasure elephant, the Luduan, the crane and the incense pavilion. The treasure elephant symbolizes the stability of the country and the consolidation of political power, Luduan is a legendary auspicious animal, the crane symbolizes longevity, and the incense pavilion symbolizes the stability of the country. Above the throne, a caisson shaped like an umbrella cover is placed upward, and a dragon lying on the middle is carved, the dragon's head is probed down, and the mouth is a jewel, and the weather **.

Fulin and Shen Shiyun walked into the main hall, they were seated on the throne, and Shen Shiyun stood on the side. According to the system, Luan Yiwei set up the halo book law in front of the palace, set up the middle and Shaole under the eaves, the Honglu Temple official introduced the new Jinshi in place, unfolded the holy decree and read out: "In the first month of the second year of Shunzhi, the test of the world's tributes, the first first place in Shaanxi Province Chang'an people's soup remote, give the Jinshi and the first. Tang Yuanjing led out of the class and knelt in the middle of the royal road.

The official also read out the first person in the second and first place, and led him to kneel on the left side of the royal road, and the second person to kneel later on the right side of the road. Each of them is sung three times in a row, and then passed to the Danqi in turn. The heirs sing a number of names such as the second class and a certain number of the third class are only sung once, and they are not led out of the class.

Tang Yuanyuan lived with his grandmother and lived a frugal life, and when he came to this splendid hall for the first time, he was really nervous for a while, and lowered his head and stared at the carpet in front of him. He is also a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and he is slightly inferior to Huangwei, so he can't help but be curious, quietly raise his gaze, his eyes roll around, and as soon as he touches the sight of others, he immediately flexibly avoids it, avoiding the disrespect of looking at each other.

When he glanced at the left side of the throne, he suddenly felt that something was slammed in his heart, and he couldn't take his eyes off it, and saw that an imperial concubine wearing gorgeous clothes looked very similar to Shen Shiyun. He didn't forget for a moment the woman who had only passed once, and his mind was always turning around with her shadow, and at this time he suspected that he was thinking too much about it, so that he hallucinated, looked down and rubbed his eyes, and looked up again.

The previous time I just raised my eyes to peek, but this time I even raised my whole head, and saw that the woman was clearly Shen Shiyun, but her pretty face was much more beautiful than before, I don't know if it was because of good maintenance or a long parting. Seeing her smiling, looking around the audience proudly, his gaze did not linger on his face for a moment, but he was already greedy to take all her smiles and enjoy them for himself.

The heart was drunk, and in a trance I heard the roll call was completed, the music was loud, and all the officials and new jinshi from the university scholar to the third grade and above all knelt and bowed three times and bowed nine times, and Tang Yuan was also confused with the bowing, and the mouth even called the emperor's grace. Zhonghe Shao music played the chapter of Xianping, and it was necessary to pay a moment, and then there was a holy decree to pass down "the champion prince stays temporarily, and the rest of the people retreat from the dynasty". Tang Yuanyuan only thought that it was convenient to continue to look at Shen Shiyun's appearance, and he didn't worry about whether the emperor would hold him accountable for being rude.

After the officials retreated, only Tang Yuanyuan, Fu Lin, and Shen Shiyun were left in the hall. Shen Shiyun stepped down the steps, walked slowly to Tang Yuanyuan, smiled at him, and said, "Champion Gong, congratulations." When Tang Yuanyuan saw that the lover in his dream was close in front of him, he couldn't control himself anymore, stretched out his hands together, took her hand and held it, and said, "Miss Yun'er, Yun'er, it's really you? I'm not dream......ing, right? Do you remember me? I'm Tang Yuan, that stupid and stupid Tang Yuan!"

Shen Shiyun smiled faintly again, and said softly: "The champion is too humble, you still call yourself stupid and stupid, in the past thousands of years, there are not many smart people in the world who have won the title of the gold list." I naturally remember you, Tang Gongzi, and I came to congratulate you on getting what you wanted. Tang Yuanyuan was even more overjoyed, and said: "Great, great, I didn't expect to see you at the ceremony, this ...... This...... It's a double blessing...... Yun'er, since Chang'an said goodbye, I have never forgotten you, I always think about you, I ...... I thought about it day and night, "Do you believe it?" I was able to go to high school this time, and it was entirely thanks to you!"

Shen Shiyun smiled and said: "Your champion and rank one are the ancestors of the Tang family, the hard work of your family, and the results of your own hard work, how can it be my credit?"

Tang Yuanyuan said: "Of course it's your credit, if I didn't always think of you and think about gaining fame, I would be able to see you again and be qualified to be on an equal footing with you, I wouldn't be so hard-working, you are my spiritual motivation." You see, this is the handkerchief you gave me, I have always treasured it close to me, and I miss you, so I will take it out and look at it. I wash it carefully every day, and I haven't got a single piece of dirt in a long time......" he said, taking out a handkerchief from his bosom and caressing her cheek.

Fu Lin saw that this champion was so intimate with Concubine Ai in front of him, knowing that they were old acquaintances, he still felt slightly surprised, coughed dryly, and walked down the steps.

Tang Yuan thought that he only had a beauty in his eyes, and it was indeed rude to hang the emperor aside for a long time, so he hurriedly gave a clumsy salute.
