Carnivorous Princess and Herbivore Consort

In the early morning of the next day, the two of them had breakfast at the consort's mansion, and then took a car to the Prince's garden in the suburbs of Beijing - Dexian Garden.Dexian is taken from the meaning of "stealing a half-day leisure in a floating life". The garden does not occupy a large area, but it is very delicately cultivated, with mountains, waters and bamboo forests.

As mentioned in front of the emperor, Wei Muqing sent someone to the neighboring Lelin Mansion to invite the very famous opera troupe in Yaojing recently, and the singing book was found by someone he could trust. changed.In order to ensure everything was safe, Wei Muqing sent Yun Meng, who had been punished, to keep an eye on him for the past few days after returning from Lingzhou.

Shen Dongxue and Wei Muqing bowed together and said: "I send my regards to the emperor father and queen mother. I send greetings to the emperor brother and the emperor's wife."

"Meisu asks the emperor's sister and brother-in-law about their well-being."

"Father, mother, this way please."

The stage is set up in the backyard, and the pavilion facing the lake is used as a place to watch the opera.Melon and fruit refreshments have already been set up on the stone table, and soft cushions have been laid on the stone benches.After a group of people took their seats, Wei Muqing signaled to Yunmeng that the troupe could start.

After receiving the instructions, the actors on the stage began to babble and perform according to the libretto, but the faces of the spectators in the audience changed a few times according to the script.

Officials disregard human lives, and civilians suffer unspeakably. Officials' sons are domineering, but the victimized people have no way to redress their grievances.A woman from a folk family was forced to marry an official son. On the night of her wedding, she cried and thanked her parents for their kindness in nurturing her. She was three feet long and died in Huangquan. When the woman's natal parents heard the bad news, they wanted to go to the capital to file an imperial lawsuit, but they were arrested on the way. The official family was beaten up... When he saw the imperial envoy taking bribes, changing the file privately, and letting the faint official and his son die, the emperor was already furious: "It's unreasonable!"

Wei Muqing and Shen Dongxue quickly stood up and saluted, "Father, calm down."

"Qinghe invited me to 'relax' today. Is this the method of relaxation?"

Seeing that the emperor was really angry, Shen Dongxue took a step forward and said: "Going back to the emperor, this move is really the intention of the son, it has nothing to do with the princess, if you want to blame, the father will blame the son."

"You don't have to take the responsibility for her. I don't know her yet? Qinghe, tell yourself, why did you sing this song today to embarrass me?"

"Returning to the father, it is really helpless for my son and son-in-law to make such a bad plan. During the trip to Lingzhou, my son discovered that the stupid official Mei Haomiao had killed more than one or two people! Yunmeng, go and get the file." Wei Mu Qing also took a step forward, "Father, my son went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to get the dossiers of Lingzhou for these years, and there are all evidences of Mei Haomiao's carelessness! During the trial of the case in Lingzhou, the imperial envoy His Royal Highness, not only did not completely Investigating Mei Haomiao's crimes, he changed the file privately in an attempt to cover it up. When the son arrived, King Sui should have started the trial, but Mei Ciyao was still tyrannical outside, and the son met him and his cronies in a restaurant. He robbed the women of the people, and even made insulting remarks in an attempt to tarnish the reputation of the royal family!"

Yunmeng took the file, followed by three or four people, each holding a thick volume in their hands.Shen Dongxue took the case files of the dumb carpenter's sister and Lin's daughter from Yunmeng, held them up with both hands, and bowed: "Father, please read."

The emperor signaled Wei Mucheng to take the file for him, and when he got it, he read it with a gloomy expression.

Seeing that the emperor was silent, Wei Muqing said again: "Father, the two cases are the most serious, and there are all witnesses and material evidence. Yunmeng, go and bring him here."

Not long after, the dumb carpenter and Lin Dewen followed Yunmeng with their heads down, "Caomin has seen the emperor and queen!"

"Father, this is the elder brother of the two victimized women. Although the carpenter can't speak, he is still willing to come to Beijing to personally testify to the crimes that Mei Ciyao and his fatuous father killed his sister! This is Lin Dewen, daughter of the Lin family. Elder brother, this trip is also to repay the justice of my sister's spirit in heaven. Father might as well listen to what has happened to the Lin family over the years."

Lin Dewen talked about everything back and forth, and burst into tears when he talked about the pain.The dumb carpenter was listening, probably remembering what happened to his sister, and his eyes were red, and he signed with his hands. Seeing that the emperor couldn't understand, he couldn't help shouting "ahhh".

Seeing that the two were indignant and suffering, the emperor did not seem to be lying, so he comforted them and said: "If this matter is serious, I will definitely give your sister justice!"

"Father, this is the carpenter's sister who resisted when Mei Ciyao bullied her and grabbed it from Mei Ciyao before she fell into the water." Shen Dongxue took the jade pendant and handed it to Wei Mucheng, who took it and handed it to the emperor .

"This jade pendant was carved by Mei Haomiao from jade masters in Lingzhou when Mei Ciyao was born. It is unique. My son also went to the craftsman who carved the jade pendant to verify it. Here is the testimony of the craftsman's fingerprints." Wei Muqing He took out a piece of paper and handed it to the emperor.

After reading the evidence, the emperor asked, "How did Wei Musui get sentenced in the end?"

"Back to father, just like in the play, His Royal Highness King Sui only relied on his brother's case to sentence Mei Haomiao to dismiss from office and Mei Ciyao to be exiled to Jin'an Mansion."

The emperor frowned upon hearing this, "What about these cases? How did he handle them?"

Wei Muqing said: "It's just like in the drama."

At this time, Wei Mumei, who had been quiet all this time, suddenly said: "If I understand correctly, the play arranged by the emperor today is based on the events of Lingzhou Zhizhou. The emperor is very curious. How do you know what the magistrate of Lingzhou has done these years and what the second emperor brother has done in private?"

"Could it be that the imperial sister doesn't know the saying 'If you want others to know, you can't do it yourself'?"

"But sister Huang remembers to intervene in the imperial envoy's handling of the case privately, which is a felony in my Hui Dynasty. Could it be that sister Huang forgot?"

"Mei Su, don't interrupt your business, you go down first." The emperor waved his hand, signaling the manager behind him to lead Wei Mumei away.

Wei Mumei heard that, no matter how much dissatisfaction she felt, she could only swallow it, and obediently followed the manager.

"The dossier of King Sui's sentencing of the magistrate of Lingzhou was also submitted to the Ministry of Criminal Justice yesterday, and my minister also sent someone to fetch it." With that said, Wei Muqing took another dossier from Yunmeng and handed it to the emperor .

The emperor flipped through it carefully, and found that Mei Haomiao's crimes over the years were kept silent, but he just brought up Shen Qiuyue's case in a nonchalant manner. He slapped the table and said angrily, "One or two are really my elders. It's impossible to lose your head! Good! Good! My good 'pillar'! My good son!"

"I think that if you want to prevent local officials from neglecting human lives, you must take back the power of life and death in their hands."

"I don't want to hear anything now! Go back to the palace! In the next few days, you and your son-in-law don't have to come into the palace to say hello."

"Father is really angry with the princess today, right?" Shen Dongxue asked while lying on Wei Muqing's arms.

"Don't worry, Father is not angry with me, he is angry with himself for delegating too much power back then. When you go to court tomorrow, you just go to the theater." Wei Muqing touched her face and said with a smile.

"Then today's incident, did Emperor Father realize Wei Musui's intention?"

"It's hard to say whether the father thought of anything when he heard the 'Jin'an Mansion', but it is enough to make the father no longer believe in Wei Musui."

"I really hope that there are no intrigues, corruption and perverting the law in the court."

"How is this possible? People's hearts are always unsatisfied, just like Uncle Xue Prime Minister, even if he is an extremely human minister, he always thinks that one day he will be inferior to ten thousand people."

"No, there will always be people who will be content, and there will always be people who don't seek wealth and glory, but only want to stay together safely."

"I know there will be such a person. Fortunately, I have met her."

Looking at Shen Dongxue's clear eyes, Wei Muqing smiled and kissed her.

However, just as the atmosphere was getting more and more beautiful, there was a knock on the door.

"Princess, son-in-law, Princess Meisu insists on eating those two rabbits raised in the kitchen!"
