"Dad is always upright in everything he does. He has never embezzled even a cent of silver! How could the emperor doubt dad's innocence!"

Chu Changying's eyes were red with anger, and his face was full of injustice.

She is not afraid of being wronged, but her father is still on the frontier. If it weren't for His Majesty's country, if it wasn't for the safety of the people of Ming Dynasty, why would he let go of his good life and go to that bitter cold place to fight with his life?

"The emperor's move is really chilling to the hearts of loyal ministers. He has dug up some old accounts. It is clear that someone deliberately confuses right and wrong. The emperor cannot tell whether it is true or not..."

Chu Changying's voice couldn't help but reveal the depressed mood. Qin Zhongxun looked at her disappointed and angry look and couldn't help but sigh. He glanced behind the door intentionally.

Walls have ears, so Qin Zhongxun had some scruples in his heart. Although he agreed with his wife's words, he still walked over and held her shoulders.

Placing a generous palm on Chu Changying's shoulder, Qin Zhongxun shook his head silently, "Changying, don't be confused for a moment."

The emperor knows no difference between loyal and treacherous, so even the truth cannot be told openly. There are people in the palace waiting outside. If they hear a thing or two and report it to the emperor, things will be difficult to handle.

"Dad is far away at the border. Only you can take charge of the Chu family. Chang Ying, don't act impulsively."

Qin Zhongxun paused for a moment, looked at Chu Changying who seemed to have come back to his senses, and said in a solemn tone: "If what you just said was heard by the emperor, it would be a crime of great disrespect."

Chu Changying looked towards the door, cold sweat broke out on his palms.

In desperation, she lost her words for a moment. If the group of eunuchs outside heard this, she would probably implicate the Chu family and even the Qin family.

Chu Changying nodded, his eyes indicating that he had calmed down and would not lie.

Qin Zhongxun breathed a sigh of relief. His firm eyes fell on the pale face and he said softly, "Don't be afraid. I will enter the palace with you. Dad is not that kind of person. Those who are clean will be clean. When the time comes, we will be together with the emperor." It’s just a trivial matter to explain clearly.”

Hearing this, Chu Changying smiled bitterly, "I hope so."

On the way into the palace, Qin Zhongxun accompanied him, which made people feel at ease.

Along the way, he enlightened Chu Changying and told her not to think wildly. Until entering the palace, Chu Changying's mood finally eased.

She was carefully helped out of the carriage by Qin Zhongxun. She was a month old and her belly was heavy. It was like a big solid ball wrapped around her waist, and there was always a sinking feeling.

She took a deep breath, looked up at the solemn palace gate, "Let's go." She said silently, and the two walked together.

Following the eunuch, he walked into the palace. The eunuch's slightly shrill voice resounded throughout the palace, "Your Majesty, we are here."

The emperor, who was buried in the memorial, raised his head and looked at the two of them. They all knelt down and worshiped. Without the emperor, they had not yet stood up.

They could only hear the sound of memorials being read, but the emperor did not ask them to stand up. Qin Zhongxun and Chu Changying looked at each other, which was clearly a sign of power to them.

Chu Changying couldn't help but feel chilled.

Before her heart was about to turn cold, the emperor finally asked the two of them to stand up, but the questions that followed made her breathe harder.

"Your father is not here, but for the sake of your past achievements, as long as you explain honestly, you will definitely be dealt with leniently."

The categorical words directly convicted Chu Changying, how could Chu Changying admit it?
