The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Just as Chu Heyi expected, Baihua had just disguised herself as her and went out with maids and old women as guards, and immediately the guards came after her.

Fortunately, Baihua received Chu Heyi's order early in the morning and went straight to the temple very quickly.

The temple is outside the city and it's a long way to go.

After reaching the foot of the mountain, they still had to go up the mountain. The farther they walked, the farther the guards had to chase them, and it would take more time.

By the time those people chased to the temple, it was already noon.

Before noon, Chu Heyi had already followed his fourth brother into the palace.

Arriving at the gate of the Purple Palace, Chu Ren told Eunuch Yao that he wanted to see the emperor. Yao An immediately went in to report and came out soon: "The emperor summoned you and the Princess of Cheng'an to the palace."

Yao An looked as if he was about to speak, but hesitated for a long while before he said, "Take care, Lady Cheng'an."

Chu Heyi smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Eunuch Yao. If I can get out of Zichen Palace safely, I will treat you to a drink tomorrow."

Yao An was stunned. Is the Princess of Cheng'an still in the mood to joke at this time?

She probably didn't know what was waiting for her in the Zi Chen Palace.

Chu Heyi stopped smiling and followed her fourth brother into the Zichen Palace. She immediately took a breath of cold air. The scene was indeed grand, with all the court officials above the third rank coming.

Chu Heyi felt like he was seeing a boiling oil pan.

The frying pan was still waiting for her.

No one spoke in the Zi Chen Palace. Countless pairs of eyes fell on her silently. Those eyes were like sharp arrows, as if they wanted to shoot her into a sieve and leave her dead without a burial place.

It can be seen that Song Ju and others' identities are like the fire in their hearts. Once ignited, it burns very vigorously, burning out their previously weak patriotic feelings and anger, as well as their desire to destroy the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

Chu Heyi saw Dongfang Shuo and his wife at a glance.

They stood at the front, and after a slight surprise, they understood.

She was surprised that she was blocked outside the palace and could not enter to exonerate herself.

It is also clear that with her intelligence, she will be able to avoid those blockades and enter the palace.

But it doesn’t matter. Even if she could enter the palace, she would be dead.

These were the emotions that Chu Heyi saw on their faces and in their eyes. The couple did not hide them and deliberately let her see them clearly.

Withdrawing his gaze, Chu Heyi followed his fourth brother and knelt in the Purple Palace to kowtow to the emperor.

The emperor's heavy gaze fell on the brother and sister for a long time, but he did not call them to stand up.

The emperor's anger and majesty permeated every corner of the Purple Palace, and everyone was silent.

After an unknown amount of time, the emperor suddenly slammed the table, making a loud dull sound that startled everyone. They only heard him shout, "Cheng'an County Lady, do you admit your guilt?"

At this moment, Chu Heyi was still kneeling in front of the palace, bearing the emperor's wrath, "Your Majesty, I know no crime. Please explain clearly, Your Majesty."

The emperor was so angry that he could hardly breathe: "If you don't know your crime, why are you entering the palace at this time?"

Not only the emperor, but also the court officials present thought that Chu Heyi came to the palace at this time to ask for forgiveness. No one expected that she would say that she didn't know what crime she had committed!

She is really stubborn. I wonder how much of the emperor's wrath she can withstand!

Relying on the recent favor of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion and herself, she dared to be so presumptuous? The people of the Prime Minister's faction thought that it would be best if she refused to admit it, making the emperor even more angry, and then dragging her away and giving her poison, so that today's matter could be over.

The Zhenbei Marquis Mansion will be more or less implicated by her.

Very good.

Chu Heyi answered from the bottom of her heart: "Your Majesty, I am good friends with the Song Ju siblings, and also with the river bank commander Sang Nong. I am very good friends. I learned that they were thrown into the death row and will be executed on a certain day. I am really confused. I don't know what crime they committed to be thrown into the death row. As their friend, I really want to know whether they have really committed such a mistake that deserves death."

As soon as she said this, everyone present gasped.

If she denied her relationship with Sang Nong and Song Ju, she might not be implicated. However, as soon as she arrived, she admitted her relationship with them. Now, not only was she implicated, but the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion behind her would also be dragged into the water.

The Prime Minister immediately asked, "Does the Princess of Cheng'an admit that she has a close relationship with Song Ju and Sang Nong?"

Chu Heyi: "I don't need to admit this. You can find out if you do a little research."

The Prime Minister immediately knelt down in front of the Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Song Ju was able to join the military camp to train horses, and Sang Nong was able to become a riverbank captain, all thanks to the arrangement of Cheng'an County Lord. Now Song Ju and Sang Nong are already in death row. I beg Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate Cheng'an County Lord and Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. Maybe they are colluding with the Northern Zhou Dynasty and trying to disintegrate our Great Qi from within, and take advantage of the opportunity to break our Great Qi in one fell swoop one day!"

Immediately, all court officials echoed the voice, and the momentum was so huge, like a fierce flood breaking through a dam, which was unstoppable.

As if to let Chu Heyi know that he had died clearly, the Prime Minister also explained to Chu Heyi: "Princess Cheng'an didn't expect that the true identities of Song Ju and Sang Nong have been known by the emperor. Song Ju is the fifth prince of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Sang Nong is the cousin of the fifth prince's uncle!

"As the Lady of Cheng'an County of Daqi and the daughter of the Zhenbei Marquisate, what is your purpose in inserting these two people into important positions in Daqi? Could it be that your Zhenbei Marquisate wants to collude with the Northern Zhou Dynasty and intend to annex Daqi?"

The court officials immediately followed the prime minister and criticized Chu Heyi and the Zhenbei Marquisate.

Some even said: "General Chu has 300,000 troops under his command. I am afraid he has already colluded with the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Once they rebel, the consequences will be disastrous. Your Majesty, I think it is necessary to recall General Chu and others to Shengjing City and hand over the military power immediately, otherwise Daqi will be in danger!"

The court officials knelt down and made the same request as above.

There was no need for Dongfang Shuo and his wife to say anything. The court officials had become the sharpest knives, stabbing Chu Heyi and the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion behind her.

Throughout the whole process, they were emotional and their words were sharp. All the merits made by the Zhenbei Marquisate in the past were wiped out in their mouths, leaving only the evil of colluding with other countries, who must be killed as soon as possible.

They are like lumps of dough boiling in a pot, scrambling to float up and trying desperately to express themselves.

In the Purple Palace, there were bursts of noise, as if smoke of war was rising. They were the soldiers who charged into battle for their country.

Everyone talked until their mouths were dry and their voices were hoarse, and then they gradually quieted down. Then they realized that ever since they started talking, the Chu brothers and sisters had been silent and had not said a word.

Prime Minister Zheng Wenkang directly convicted them: "Your Majesty, at this point, the Princess of Cheng'an County has nothing to say and cannot refute. It can be seen that what we said is the truth! Please order the punishment!"

Chu Heyi then spoke: "Your Majesty, I am silent, not because I have nothing to say or cannot refute, but because my voice alone cannot drown out the voices of many adults in the palace."

The prime minister wanted to interrupt, but Chu Ren noticed and said first: "Lord Zheng wants to suppress my sister's voice again? Don't you want to give her a chance to explain? The emperor didn't stop him, so Lord Zheng wants to overstep his authority?"

The prime minister choked and was forced to remain silent.
