Started as a thatched house and ended up as a female figure

Cheng Wan and Marquis Guangde came out of Jiaotai Hall one after another. Both of their foreheads were red and swollen, but the expressions on their faces were completely different.

Cheng Wan's eyes were clear and his brows were smiling, and it was obvious that he was in a very good mood.

Marquis Guangde had dull eyes and a pale face, and looked as if he had suddenly aged several years.

"Sister Wan!"

Cheng Wan looked over in the direction of the voice, his eyes lit up: "Sister Luo!"

Marquis Guangde's eyes moved slightly as he watched Cheng Wan running briskly towards Crown Princess Luo Fanjin, whose face showed worry about Cheng Wan.

Marquis Guangde pulled the corners of his lips, creating an arc that was uglier than crying.

The emperor favors Cheng Wan, and the prince is close to Cheng Wan.

It's a pity that he only just realized who Cheng Wan's backer was when he was half dead.

If he had realized this earlier, he would not have belittled Cheng Wan at home every day, the younger generations in his family would not have completely ignored Cheng Wan, and the Guangde Marquis Mansion would not have become a joke.

Marquis Guangde closed his eyes, quickly sorted out the complicated emotions in his heart, and walked towards Luo Fanjin.

He is a minister, and Luo Fanjin is the Crown Princess.

Regardless of whether Luo Fanjin was willing to pay attention to him or not, he had to greet Luo Fanjin and salute him.

Otherwise it would be disrespectful.

"Your old minister, Marquis Guangde, wishes the Crown Princess good health."

The smile in Luo Fanjin's eyes disappeared, and a dignified and elegant smile hung on his face, and his voice was calm: "Marquis Guangde, there is no need to be polite."

The Crown Princess is a noble and respectable person.

Marquis Guangde heaved a sigh of relief. He straightened up and forced a smile at Luo Fanjin: "I will not disturb the Crown Princess and Marquis Zhaoping from reminiscing about the past. I will take my leave first."

Guangde Hou left, and Luo Fanjin's eyes reappeared with a friendly smile:

“I’m relieved that you didn’t suffer any severe punishment.

Your father has ordered you to reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors, so I can't let you go to the East Palace.

Just concentrate on preparing for the exam, and we'll meet again after this period."

"I was impulsive and reckless, causing Sister Luo to worry about me. It's really my fault."

As he spoke, Cheng Wan scratched his head embarrassedly.

Luo Fanjin noticed the bracelet looming on Cheng Wan's wrist, and the smile in her eyes deepened. She took Cheng Wan's other hand and said softly, "Sister Wan has a kind heart and is really lovable. Father doesn't think Sister Wan has done anything wrong, otherwise he wouldn't have punished her like this."

"Your Majesty is fair and wise, and it is a great blessing for us as his subjects."

Cheng Wan expressed his loyalty to the emperor again.

And it is a very sincere expression of loyalty.

"Father is naturally an eloquent ruler." Luo Fanjin smiled and nodded, then pointed his jade finger at Cheng Wan's forehead, frowning slightly: "You have a big bump on your forehead, it has turned blue and purple, go back and apply medicine, we'll talk another day."

After Cheng Wan and Luo Fanjin separated, they went straight out of the palace and went home.

She didn't know that the entire officialdom in the capital was in turmoil because of her.

Cheng Wan stabbed someone with a knife, and then Marquis Guangde went to the palace to file a complaint.

Almost everyone who knew about this was shocked by Cheng Wan's audacity, and then they were all waiting for news to come out from the palace.

Cheng Wan was caned, demoted, dismissed, reduced in rank, and stripped of his title...

These people waited anxiously, and then the second master of Guangde Marquis Mansion lost his official position, and Cheng Wan lost his salary during the period of preparing for the exam. Cheng Wan reflected on his mistakes for a month and sent some precious medicinal materials to Guangde Marquis Mansion.

silence.

There was a great silence.

This result was unexpected by everyone.

Although he was a marquis and suffered injustice, he did not report to the authorities. Instead, he took a knife and stabbed the court official in public, stabbing him twice. In the end, he was so arrogant that he kicked one of the stone lions in front of the gate of Guangde Marquis' Mansion and broke it into pieces.

Although such behavior is excusable, it is still breaking the law knowingly and is arrogant and vicious.

But the punishment he received in the end was not severe. He didn't even get beaten with a stick. Instead, the person who was stabbed lost his official position.

This this……

For the first time, all the officials felt that there was nothing to say about the same thing.

The emperor's meaning was very clear. He felt that Marquis Zhaoping had not committed any serious mistake. The ones who had committed a serious mistake were the three bastards who had bullied Marquis Zhaoping's father.

Who is right and who is wrong is secondary. The most important thing is that the emperor knew that such punishment would cause unrest, but he still made such a punishment, which means that the emperor deliberately told everyone.

The emperor favored Marquis Zhaoping.

With the emperor favoring him so much, which official wouldn’t want one?

At this moment, it can be said that both the officials from the capital and the officials from Liangzhou have temporarily unified their positions.

Jealous and envious of Cheng Wan.

Even Xu Zhinian's uncle Mao Yuanyi was the same.

In the residence of Yan Mu, the Minister of Personnel, Ying Changlin let out a long sigh: "Brother Yan, today I finally understand why you said that the Lord Zhaoping's residence relies most on the emperor."

"No." Yan Mu shook his head, his eyes deep: "I thought I had thought highly enough of Marquis Zhaoping, but I suddenly realized that I still underestimated the emperor's favor for Marquis Zhaoping."

Yan Mu looked at Ying Changlin:

"We all know what the consequences would be if someone else did what Zhao Pinghou did today.

We also understand that the emperor's punishment of Marquis Zhaoping was not severe enough.

But do you really think that the emperor sentenced Zhao Pinghou to confine himself to reflect on his mistakes for a month just to give him some insignificant punishment?"

Ying Changlin frowned: "What else could it be for?"

"To protect Marquis Zhaoping and to help Marquis Zhaoping vent his anger."

Ying Changlin was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized.

"Marquis Zhaoping was ordered to stay indoors, and thus he escaped the series of subsequent shocks brought about by today's events.

The young masters of the three mansions ordered their servants to beat Marquis Zhaoping's father. Now only Marquis Guangde's mansion has been taught a lesson, while the other two mansions are safe.

The emperor dismissed Master Kuang Er from his post, which directly showed his favoritism towards Marquis Zhaoping. The other two governments must have been uneasy and anxious to admit their mistakes and make amends to Marquis Zhaoping.

But Zhao Pinghou is confined to his room to reflect on his mistakes and refuses to see any outside visitors. The other two families will definitely severely punish the troublemakers in their families in order to show it to the emperor, and they will spend the whole month in fear. "

Ying Changlin became more and more excited as he spoke. He stood up and took two steps. "The Guangde Marquis' Mansion hates the Zhaoping Marquis very much, but the emperor's attitude is clear. First, they dare not attack the Zhaoping Marquis openly, and second, they can't find anyone to attack him in the past month. So they will probably vent their anger on the other two mansions first!"

Ying Changlin turned around abruptly and looked at Yan Mu: "Brother Yan, has the emperor really considered Marquis Zhaoping to this extent?! This, this..."

"Brother Ying, I think we should look at the emperor and Marquis Zhaoping from a different perspective." Yan Mu put down the teacup in his hand, looked at Ying Changlin, and said calmly: "The emperor is a man, and Marquis Zhaoping is a woman, a peerless woman."

Ying Changlin widened his eyes in horror, took a step back unconsciously, and almost fell to the ground.
