The reborn daughter of the Marquis Mansion takes over the world

The next day, Ning Ziqing slept until almost noon.

While Yinxiang was serving her meal, Yuanli and others rushed back to report and brought back bad news.

The several crucial secret letters in Yuan Que's hands have fallen into Huo Yunhong's hands.

The sudden kidnapping yesterday was actually planned by County Lady Jiarou.

Out of jealousy and unwillingness, she lost her mind and made such a big mistake after learning that Emperor Yao wanted Su Yanqi to marry Ning Ziqing as soon as possible.

After hearing all these disturbing things, Ning Ziqing felt annoyed. She frowned, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and no longer had an appetite to eat.

Seeing this, Yaoyao, who was leaning against the window, waved to Yuanli and the others to leave first, then sat next to Ning Ziqing and asked worriedly, "What are you going to do next?"

"Without the Second Prince's leverage, our chances of winning are further reduced."

Ning Ziqing sighed lightly and said coldly.

"You've pushed me to this point, how can I be merciful?"

Yaoyao frowned in confusion.

Ning Ziqing smiled maliciously, picked up the handkerchief and slowly wiped the corners of his mouth, then instructed Yinxiang.

"Send someone to invite a royal doctor to examine me in the name of the marquis. Tell him that I encountered an accident yesterday and was too frightened. I suddenly fell ill in the middle of the night and am now bedridden."

Then, she called Jiang Fei and Jiang Qie and told them seriously: "You two should take all the members of the Yijiang tribe to the outside of the palace right now, submit a letter to the palace, and request to see the emperor. Ask him to do justice for me and severely punish those who plotted to murder me. The bigger the noise, the better, and let all the civil and military officials know about this matter!"

Jiang Qie scratched his head, looking confused, not understanding why he had to take such a long detour.

Yaoyao reminded him from the side.

"You, Asaya, have been framed so badly. Isn't this obviously bullying you, the Yijiang tribe, because you have no backers in Kyoto? So you have to make a big scene and be tough, so that people don't think you are easy to bully."

Jiang Qie suddenly realized what was going on and anger instantly surged in his heart.

"Since Asaya is not allowed to mobilize the Black Feather Army, we must punish those evildoers and give an explanation to our Yijiang tribe and the entire Yebei. Otherwise, I will report it to the king!"

Yaoyao patted his head with satisfaction.

"This young man is teachable. Go quickly!"

Jiang Qi and the other man took the order and left.

Ning Ziqing was quite proud of her arrangement. She took off her handkerchief, lay back on the bed, and instructed Yaoyao to put on some sickly makeup for her.

"The more miserable the picture is, the better. It would be best if it could fool my sister-in-law and the others."

Yaoyao was speechless: "Little fox, you are the one with the most clever ideas."

Ning Ziqing propped up one leg proudly and laughed: "Who told them to come and provoke me? Now they have hit a wall. I have no choice but to send them to see the King of Hell."

On the busy streets of Kyoto, the crowds of people watching the excitement had surrounded an area so tightly that no one could get through.

Just as noon arrived, several guards roughly kicked away the long-extinguished brazier and prepared to escort Princess Jiarou and three others, who were only wearing a white middle garment and curled up on the ground, to the Dali Temple prison.

The crowd looked at them with contempt as they were disheveled, pointing fingers and making sarcastic remarks.

The four of them had their mouths blocked and could only lower their heads, feeling so ashamed that they wished they could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Facing the bad words from everyone.

Lady Jiarou, whose face had returned to normal, stood up suddenly, glared at the guards fiercely, and shouted angrily.

The leading guard pulled the rope that bound her hands with disgust and pulled hard. Princess Jiarou staggered and fell to the ground in a mess, causing everyone to laugh.

Princess Jiarou's eyes were filled with despair, tears welled up in her eyes, and she sobbed.

She had never imagined that one day she would be humiliated like this in public.

This made her feel worse than if her life was taken away directly.

The guards pulled her up again. Princess Jiarou stopped struggling and just wanted to escape from this shameful place as soon as possible.

People in the crowd kept accusing them of framing Princess Azhao.

Some people even took the lead in throwing rotten leaves, eggs and stones at them.

Ning Zilan tightened her neck, gritted her teeth to endure the pain, and moved her steps with difficulty. She hated Ning Ziqing in her heart.

Instead of stopping the angry people, the guards led them slowly forward, reading out loud the crimes they had committed as they walked.

"The Xu and Li families colluded with the villains to murder Princess Azhao. This is a heinous crime that cannot be forgiven!"

The crowd became excited again, shouting and calling for the four men to be killed.

"Princess Azhao is kindhearted. She has taken care of the people affected by the disaster in many ways. She also used her double-sided embroidery to exchange for fine horses, gold and other valuables in order to sign a trade agreement between our country and the great country of Western Continent. She has worked hard and made great contributions. How can you, such vicious people, go against your conscience and murder her!"

"Bah! She's a noble lady, but she's so despicable and shameless, worse than an animal. This is totally unforgivable!"

"Kill them! Kill them..."

The scene became more and more intense, with the people's voices of condemnation rising one after another, frightening Lady Jiarou and others.

At this time, Miss Xu, who was walking at the end of the team, suddenly convulsed violently all over and vomited blood, even her ears, nose and eyes were bleeding.

She groaned in pain a few times, fell to the ground, and soon died with blood gushing from all her orifices.

The captain of the guards came forward to check and found that the poison in her body had taken effect again, causing her to die tragically.

As soon as the news of Miss Xu's death came out, the crowd burst into warm cheers.

"God has opened his eyes and has taken away this evil man who did evil things!"

Lady Jiarou and the other two looked at Miss Xu's body in horror, fearing that they would be the next to die from the poison.

Princess Jiarou collapsed to the extreme. She shook her head frantically and her body trembled so much that she could hardly stand.

At this moment, a few men who looked like servants squeezed out of the crowd and recognized County Master Jiarou at a glance.

The servants rushed forward in disbelief, struggled to untie the ropes that bound County Lady Jiarou, and pulled out the cloth ball that was stuffed in her mouth.

"County Lady Jiarou, who tied you up and brought you here?"

The servants were extremely anxious.

When they heard someone calling out County Lady Jiarou's name, the people around were shocked.

"It was actually Princess Jiarou who framed Princess Azhao... She is so bold..."

"Is there any law left under the emperor's feet?"

"She has committed a grave sin and has lost all conscience. She is unworthy of your majesty's kindness!"

Princess Jiarou covered her ears with both hands, her face distorted terribly, and she screamed: "Ning Ziqing, you have hurt me to this extent, I will not stop until I kill you!"

The city of Kyoto was in complete chaos on this day.

Ning Zijun's memorial suing the Xu and Li governments had just been delivered to Emperor Yao, and the Dali Temple also submitted the case file that had been reviewed to the Imperial Study.

At the same time, Eunuch Wu reported to Emperor Yao that the members of the Yijiang tribe were shouting their injustice at the palace gate and begged Emperor Yao to seek justice for their princess.

Before Emperor Yao could figure out the whole story, the Duke of Qi stormed into the palace to file a complaint.

At the next morning court session, the ministers were divided into two factions. Each side held its own opinion and requested Emperor Yao to punish Ning Ziqing, the Xu and Li prefectures, and Princess Jiarou.

In order to appease the Ninghou Mansion, Emperor Yao first ordered the execution of the entire Xu and Li families.

Neither party raised any objection to the verdict. After all, the Xu and Li families were already guilty before, and now they were charged with additional crimes, so they deserved to be put to death.

This result made Huo Yunhong the happiest.

The two major problems that had originally given him a headache were finally solved by Emperor Yao without him having to do anything personally.

Huo Yunhong was secretly delighted and planned to wait and see what would happen next.

Next, Duke Qi and his faction began to accuse Ning Ziqing of wrongdoings.

They kept telling Emperor Yao: "Your Majesty, although Princess Azhao was in danger first, she forced the four young ladies to drink all kinds of poisons. Her methods were too cruel and outrageous. Afterwards, she stripped them of their outer clothes and exposed them in public. Isn't this an abuse of private punishment and a violation of the law?"

"Your Majesty, please hold Ninghou Mansion accountable for the crime."

"Princess Azhao is a princess, but she cannot set an example. She acts recklessly and disregards human life. I hope Your Majesty will punish her and serve as a warning to others!"

As soon as this was said, many ministers echoed: "Your Majesty, please punish Princess Azhao."

After listening to these words, Emperor Yao pursed his lips and thought, but did not rush to make a decision.

Yesterday, Duke Qi stormed into the imperial study in a rage and sued Ning Ziqing for not only poisoning Princess Jiarou and crippling her, but also destroying her reputation.

Not long after the servants rescued her and brought her back home, she secretly hanged herself. Fortunately, she was discovered and rescued in time by a maid.

The Duke of Qi knelt before the emperor, filled with grief and anger, with tears streaming down his face. He begged Emperor Yao to seek justice for his daughter and severely punish Ning Ziqing.

Emperor Yao was shocked and ordered a thorough investigation of the matter.

After interrogation, Emperor Yao realized that the case was far more complicated than he had imagined, so he decided to hold a public trial in the morning court.

However, Lord Ning and Ning Zijun did not show up at the morning court today.

Last night, the Ninghou Mansion submitted a leave notice, saying that Ning Ziqing had suddenly suffered an unexpected disaster and was bedridden due to an acute illness, and that Old Madam Ning had also fallen ill due to excessive worry.

Ning Zijun stated in the memorial that the mastermind behind the case, as well as the witnesses and confessions, had all been verified, and how to deal with the case would depend entirely on the decision of Emperor Yao.

Emperor Yao knew very well that the Ninghou Mansion wanted to throw this hot potato to him to deal with and let him punish the Qiguogong Mansion.

This undoubtedly posed a difficult problem for him.

Emperor Yao frowned and watched the court officials arguing over this matter, feeling very upset.

Huo Yunjue couldn't stand hearing the ministers criticizing Ning Ziqing, so he retorted: "You can't tell right from wrong, but you want to be the first to complain!"

He bowed to Emperor Yao and asked, "Father, please listen to what I have to say."

Emperor Yao was silent for a moment, then nodded in agreement, and everyone immediately quieted down.

Huo Yunjue said in a resounding voice: "Princess Azhao was originally the victim of this case, but the ministers have turned black into white and are trying to put all the blame on her."

"Not only will your actions chill Princess Azhao's heart, but they will also bring about even greater disasters!"

After hearing this, Duke Qi and Huo Yunhong both felt disdainful.

Duke Qi's eyes hinted at a minister to question: "Fourth Prince, what do you mean by this? Could it be that Princess Azhao wants to come before the emperor to appeal for justice?"

Huo Yunjue cast a cold glance at the minister and said sarcastically, "Sir Zhou, even if Princess Azhao does not come to the imperial court to appeal for justice, you should all go to the Marquis' Mansion to apologize to her in person and express your gratitude to her."

When everyone heard this, there was an uproar.

Huo Yunhong snorted and laughed, "Fourth brother, be careful with your words. Ning Ziqing's current identity is just a princess title of the Yijiang tribe that King Qian proclaimed himself on a whim. How dare you ask all the ministers to admit their mistakes in front of my father? Are you flattering her, or do you not take my father seriously?"

His words made Emperor Yao's face darken on the dragon throne. He shouted angrily, "How dare you! I haven't even sent troops to punish Ning Ziqing, but she wants my ministers to go and apologize to her!"

Emperor Yao was so furious that everyone in the hall fell to their knees and shouted in unison.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Huo Yunhong lowered his head, a gloating smile on his lips.

Huo Yunjue quickly bowed and explained: "Father, there is a reason why I said that just now. I hope you will understand."

Emperor Yao was furious and glared at Huo Yunjue: "Fourth Brother, if you can't explain it clearly, I will not forgive you."

Huo Yunjue nodded and continued to explain the reason: "Father, Princess Azhao encountered a disaster yesterday and almost lost her life. In a hurry, the Yijiang tribe guard beside her took out the Black Feather Order that King Qian had left for her, and asked her to immediately order to go to Fanhai to dispatch the Black Feather Army to Kyoto to protect her safety."

"That's 30,000 Black Feather Troops, but King Qian actually gave them to Princess Azhao and let her command them at will. This shows how important she is to King Qian."

"I know this matter is of great importance, and I have persuaded Princess Azhao to withdraw her order. If you don't believe me, you can ask Zhonglangjun. He was also present at the time and saw with his own eyes that the Yijiang tribe guard took out the Black Feather Order and asked Princess Azhao to send him to mobilize troops."

Upon hearing the news, the ministers' faces changed drastically and they were stunned.

Huo Yunhong and Duke Qi were both stunned and felt it was incredible.

Emperor Yao frowned and asked in astonishment: "What did you say! King Qian actually gave the Black Feather Order to Ning Ziqing!"

The General of the Household stepped out quickly and reported: "Your Majesty, what the Fourth Prince said is absolutely true. Last night, I saw with my own eyes that the token in Princess Azhao's hand was the Black Feather Order. Fortunately, the Fourth Prince and I tried our best to dissuade her, and Princess Azhao gave up the idea of ​​mobilizing the Black Feather Army to Kyoto."

With the confirmation from the General of the Household, the ministers gasped in shock again.

If the incomparably brave and murderous Black Feather Army were really summoned to Kyoto by Ning Ziqing, with her ruthless methods, she would probably kill them...

Those ministers who had previously slandered and defamed Ning Ziqing were now deeply regretting their decision.

If I had known earlier, I should not have believed the one-sided words of Duke Qi and criticized Ning Ziqing.

Now that I have offended her, I don’t know what kind of revenge I will suffer in the future.

The ministers regretted deeply and lamented endlessly.

Emperor Yao's expression became serious: "What a great Ning Ziqing! What on earth is she capable of? To make King Qian treat her like this!"

Huo Yunjue told the truth: "Father, Princess Azhao said that she actually didn't know the origin of the Black Feather Token. On her birthday, she pestered King Qian for a big gift. King Qian couldn't persuade her, so he had to take out the Black Feather Token to make her happy. After that, the token has been kept safely by the guards of the Yijiang tribe."

"Princess Azhao only learned about the importance of the Black Feather Order last night, and she was also shocked."

"She asked me to convey that although she is nominally a princess of the Yijiang tribe, she is also a citizen of the Nanyao Kingdom."

"She asked Father to rest assured that she has sealed up the Black Feather Order and will never use it in the future. She will return it in person the next time she sees King Qian."

"It's just... she begs the emperor to give her justice."
