Come on, Your Highness

Sensing the person beside her, Princess Liyang raised her head and her eyes were red when she saw Zhan Shaoqi.

After being locked up in the Princess Mansion for so many days, the only thing she can think about is this son.

"Shaoqi, did they torture you?" Liyang asked softly, raising his hand to caress Zhan Shaoqi's face, his eyes were carefully sized up, and his eyes were full of concern.

The white prison clothes were not stained with blood, and apart from her pale face, she was not hurt, so she couldn't help but feel relieved.

Suddenly an egg flew out from nowhere and hit Zhan Shaoqi's forehead in an instant. The egg white yolk exploded, not only dripping Zhan Shaoqi's face, but also the eldest princess who got close was splashed all over.

I only heard someone shouting from the crowd: "What kind of ghost is being shown to a loving mother and a filial son at this moment, who is showing it to me! Disgusting!"

Princess Liyang's mind went blank for a moment, she raised her head almost subconsciously and looked over with sharp eyes.

However, there are more rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves, and all the dignity is gone in an instant.

"She has a son, but no one else?"

"Other people's children are innocent, but her son is a beast, an evil spirit, and he will go to the [-]th floor of hell!"

"Kill him!"

"Avenge those poor people!"

……

A single commoner dares to throw rotten eggs and rotten leaves at the high-ranking princess, but there is a group of people around here, no one knows anyone, and when everyone does it together, they have boundless courage.

And the bigger the commotion, the more people gathered, and the rumor spread, causing a sensation in several nearby streets.

Everyone took advantage of this opportunity to vent their anger over the past few days.

Zhan Shaoqi twitched, his whole face flushed red.

He wanted to escape, he couldn't stand it, he felt that even if he was locked in the dark cell of Dali Temple all the time, it would be better than being criticized by thousands of people now.

However, as soon as he moved his body, he was firmly held back by Princess Liyang.

"Shaoqi, bear with it, bear with it..."

Princess Liyang held him tightly in her arms, comforting him softly, while shrinking her head to endure the dirt flying from around her.

In this life, their mother and son will never forget this situation.

Hearing the boundless abuse in his ears, his eyes were filled with the ferocious faces and scarlet eyes of the people around him.

Zhan Shaoqi suddenly realized that now they had no power to fight back and could only kneel and suffer, how similar they were to those who were arrested in the autumn garden.

Treat the world well, and the world will treat you well, otherwise, sooner or later, when you fall into the dust, you will taste the bitter fruit you brewed.

Good and evil will eventually be rewarded.

In a trance, he seemed to see a person walking slowly.

The officials' wives and young ladies all stood in front of the shop and watched quietly, but some of them turned their faces away.

Even if the crime is heinous, it would be unbearable to see such a miserable appearance.

Although Princess Rong'an was relieved, she was sisters after all, and the fate of Liyang always made her feel sad.

In the end, she gave He Lingshan a push: "Go."

So He Lingshan walked over slowly.

The surrounding rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs also stopped instantly.

He Lingshan ignored the dirt on the ground, even if it stained her skirt, she still stepped on it step by step.

She squatted slightly, handed a clean veil in front of the eldest princess, and sighed: "Why are you doing this, why don't you go back."

Who would have known that Princess Liyang had the urge to escape too many times, but she endured it.

She grabbed He Lingshan's hand and said, "Shan'er, it's our mother and son who are sorry for you, but today, we sincerely come to apologize, don't drive us away... By the way, Mother Fang."

Nanny Fang was already sobbing, and when she heard the eldest princess' call, she came over with the box in her hands and knelt down in front of He Lingshan.

"This is all the properties under the name of the Princess Mansion, including Zhuangzi and Tian Qi, as well as silver. All of them have been exchanged into silver notes. Except for the royal family, they are all here."

When He Lingshan saw it, she was about to get up immediately, but she was firmly held by the eldest princess, and begged, "Shan'er, I know these are not enough to make up for my mistakes, but this is all we can do now."

Nanny Fang handed over the box.

However, He Lingshan broke free. She did not leave immediately, but wiped her face carefully for the eldest princess, and said softly: "The Women's Federation can accept the eldest princess' wishes, but this money cannot be accepted. The matter has come to an end, I am willing to forgive Zhan Shaoqi for everything he has done to me, but it is only on behalf of myself. Others have suffered far more than me, and I cannot make decisions for them. The Women's Federation Hall can accept their kindness, but they are not qualified to accept their confession , please forgive me, princess, go back."

After He Lingshan finished speaking, she stood up, owed a little, and then turned to leave.

From the beginning to the end, she didn't glance at Zhan Shaoqi.

Even in this situation, an incompetent man always hides behind others.

"well said!"

"Won't accepting their things make them feel at ease?"

"Miss He is too kind, and even wiped her face, bah, are they worthy?"

……

"Shan'er!" Princess Liyang shouted excitedly, "If you don't accept me, I won't be able to kneel forever!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar all around.

"This is too brazen!"

"Is it because you know Miss He is kind-hearted that you did this?"

"Oh my god, if Wei Guogong hadn't come forward, wouldn't Miss He have been eaten to pieces?"

……

At this moment, Zhan Shaoqi finally couldn't bear it anymore, he raised his head and looked at He Lingshan: "He Lingshan, if you accept it, I will let you go home!"

He Lingshan was stunned when she heard the words, she turned her head slowly and looked at Zhan Shaoqi in disbelief.

"Didn't you always want to get rid of me? I'll give you this chance!" Zhan Shaoqi couldn't bear it anymore, he didn't want to stay here anymore.

However, He Lingshan laughed, she almost laughed out loud.

"I thought you were a beast, or at least a man. I didn't expect you to be flattered! Zhan Shaoqi, I would rather you die!"

"Shaoqi, don't talk nonsense!" Princess Liyang was anxious, she pulled Zhan Shaoqi back, and said to He Lingshan, "Shan'er, I have already written to ask the emperor to withdraw the marriage proposal, sentence you to go home, and give you all the dowry In return. Although we can't make up for the guilt we've felt towards you these years, we also know that we don't deserve to have a good daughter-in-law like you. I hope you can find a good family in the future. Shaoqi...he just doesn't want you..."

When the eldest princess said this, she felt guilty in her heart, then she kowtowed and said: "Shan'er, we are guilty, but money is not guilty, with these you can help more people, why not do it? This money You don’t need to tell anyone where you are from, that’s enough.”

Princess Liyang is going all out today.

When she came here, she had already planned to abandon her dignity and everything.

The more pitiful she is, the more she makes these people vent and arouses the sympathy of the wives and young ladies who are watching, and her goal is achieved.

Everything that happens here will be passed on to the court, so that Emperor Tiangan has reason to take advantage of the situation and let it go.

Princess Rong'an finally couldn't stand it anymore, she walked over and said: "Lingshan, since Princess Liyang said so, the Women's Federation Hall will accept it. No matter what, if the money is in her hands, it's better to use it to help those poor guy."

As she spoke, her eyes drifted to the surroundings, and she asked Xuan Ling, "What do Princess Zhen Guo think?"

Xuan Ling smiled, then nodded slightly.

As soon as these two expressed their views, the ladies beside them all followed suit.

After watching for a long time, everyone was angry at the beginning and now there is only a sigh.

After all, no matter how frightening it is, it is not her own family that hurt her. Thinking about how the arrogant and domineering Princess Liyang would insist on kneeling on the ground and let the people around her curse and filth, it is enough to make people feel her sincerity.

In fact, if Princess Liyang really didn't do this, no one would do anything to her, right?

He Lingshan looked at her mother, Mrs. He was out of breath today, her goal has been achieved, so naturally she doesn't want to entangle with Princess Liyang.

"Shan'er, accept it."

The shopkeeper of the Women's Federation Hall took the box, and when Nanny Fang was about to help her master up, she suddenly heard Princess Zhen Guo say: "Since I apologize, besides Miss He, there are other girls, don't you want to express it? "

When Xuan Ling said this, Nanny Fang's hands froze there, and Princess Liyang looked up at Xuan Ling. The latter had a calm face and held a horsewhip in his hand, seeming to say something casually.

However, in her capacity, no matter how casual she is, someone will listen to her.

"There are countless soldiers under my command. They are not afraid of death, and they charge into the battle for the safety of the people behind them. If they defend their homes and the country, and the princess of Daqi tramples on the lives they bought with their blood, it is really chilling. "

It seems that after being baptized by the flames of war, and having killed enemies with a sword, even if Xuan Ling stood among the wives, smelling the fragrance of powder, he couldn't get rid of the faint coldness and bloody smell around him.

However, even if it is attractive and difficult to approach, compared with Zhan Shaoqi's pure ferocity and tyranny, her murderous aura and coldness are reassuring.

"Miss He, call those girls out. I think the eldest princess and Zhan Shaoqi should kowtow to them."

Xuan Ling didn't go to see Princess Liyang, but said to He Lingshan.

These girls hid in the shop as early as the arrival of the ladies and ladies one by one.

When Princess Liyang came, she dared not appear in front of others.

It was lucky to be alive, and they never expected these ghosts to give them any compensation or apology.

Standing in front of Liyang Princess now, they have fear and anxiety in their eyes, and they dare not even look at the people on the ground.

When meeting Zhan Shaoqi's eyes, some even hid behind the sisters.

Zhan Shaoqi brought too many shadows to their hearts, but now they still remember that hideous and terrifying appearance.

He Lingshan encouraged: "Don't be afraid, if you don't want to, just go into the shop, no one can force you to stand here."

But no one came back.

Xuan Ling looked at it, and couldn't help smiling: "Good job! This is probably the only chance in this life, face them, you are braver than anyone else." Then she looked at Princess Liyang and Zhan Shaoqi and said, "Knock it, sincerely!" If you’re not sincere, it’s up to now.”

Kowtow to He Lingshan, it's nothing, the granddaughter of the Duke of He Lingshan has a noble status.

But these civilians have never been seen by the eldest princess. The commoners who are like ants are different.

The onlookers seemed to realize something, with eager eyes.

"Knock!"

"Knock it!"

"Isn't it here to make amends? What kind of crime is this atonement for?"

"It turned out that it was just a good-looking one, which softened the old emperor's heart!"

"knock!"

"knock!"

"knock!"

……

99 steps have already been taken, only this last step, Princess Liyang closed her eyes, pulled Zhan Shaoqi down...

It was beyond the expectation of Emperor Tiangan that Princess Liyang could do this.

Although he didn't come in person, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he heard the report.

On the second day, Princess Liyang's apology and Zhan Shaoqi's confession were read out in the court hall. After Dali Temple Minister finished speaking, he bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please judge."

"Do you have anything else to say?"

Emperor Tiangan asked, but no one came out.

The imperial court, which was as noisy as a vegetable market before, suddenly became very quiet today.

"Father, the emperor please judge." Xiao Hong said.

"Your Majesty, please give me an order." The ministers said in unison.

Emperor Tiangan then let out a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "The case of Qiuyuan shocked the government and the public. Xiao Yuan and her son Zhan Shaoqi are clan relatives, but they violated the laws of the country and killed innocent people. It is an unforgivable crime! Sincerely pleaded guilty and repented wholeheartedly, so I will not take back the title of Princess Xiaoyuan for the time being, but the crime is so serious that it is difficult to forgive, I will remove the treatment of the princess, and send her to the imperial tomb, and guard the tomb for the rest of her life. His son Zhan Shaoqi can be pardoned for the crime of death, but the crime of living I can't escape, I will go to all positions, and I will be exiled to the northern border, and I will never return to Beijing. Amnesty under heaven, these two people are not included in this list!"

Emperor Tiangan paused after speaking, and seeing that no one came out to object, he couldn't help but relax a little, and the following words became smoother.

He looked at Wei Guogong and said: "Zhan Shaoqi was violent by nature, humiliated his wife several times, and was unbearable as a couple, so he ordered He Lingshan to return to the place where he came from. From now on, the two will be separated, and the marriage will have nothing to do with each other."

Hearing this, Wei Guogong quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Royal family members, all ring the alarm bell!"

With the last sound, all the ministers knelt down: "I obey the order."

After more than half a month, the Qiuyuan case came to an end.

He Xichao accompanied Wei Guogong to leave the Hall of Harmony, and the latter said: "The emperor still thinks about blood relationship."

"No matter what, my sister has returned home, so we have achieved our goal." He Xichao said.

"Xi Chao, thank you very much." Wei Guogong stopped and looked at him steadily.

He Xichao smiled slightly, and then said doubtfully: "Thank you, it's just a matter of duty."

Wei Guogong burst out laughing immediately when he heard the words: "What a matter of duty!" This laughter couldn't help but make the ministers passing by look over in surprise, with strange expressions on their faces.

The grandparents and grandchildren who have nothing to do with each other seem to have a good relationship, so why bother with such a big disturbance before?

"In the future, come and walk around more when you have time, and have a drink or two with this old man." Wei Guogong patted He Xichao on the shoulder and said regardless of what others thought.

He Xichao didn't refuse, nor did he agree, he just looked at the white clouds in the sky and said, "I'm afraid we won't have that chance."

Wei Guogong thought for a while, but nodded: "Yes, you are going to the Western Regions soon, and you are very busy. You are not old, but you have heavy responsibilities. By the way, when are you leaving?"

He Xichao replied: "In half a month."

"All ready? I've been busy with Shan'er's business these days, won't it delay your business?"

Wei Guogong's words at this moment were so empathetic, He Xichao couldn't help but shook his head with a smile: "Don't worry, grandfather, everything is settled."

Wei Guogong nodded: "You have always been considerate in doing things, I am worrying too much."

He Xichao laughed dumbfounded, and asked back: "You seem to be in a very good mood today."

"Okay, of course, let go of one important matter on your mind, and finally have the face to see your grandmother and uncle in the future."

Seeing Wei Guogong's sincere joy, He Xichao couldn't help curling the corners of his lips and saying, "After my sister returns home, I can be happy with my grandfather. My sister is kind and considerate, much better than a worthless grandson."

"It's true, Shan'er makes the old man feel bad, you and Mingrui... well, let's not talk about him, one by one is born to be a debt collector." Wei Guogong pretended to be unhappy and gave him a look.

He Xichao laughed when he heard the words: "Isn't that so, so grandfather has to relax, don't get angry because of debt collectors like us in the future."

In the distance, Xiao Hong was walking over here.

Wei Guogong said: "Go ahead, the emperor and His Royal Highness respect you, you have to work hard, I will go back and see Shan'er."

"Yes, the grandson will send the grandfather a respectful gift."

He Xichao looked at the figure of Wei Guogong walking away leisurely, and couldn't help sighing slightly.

Perhaps soon, the relationship between grandparents and grandchildren that had been so hard to ease between him and Wei Guogong should be broken again.
