Just when Shen Dongxue breathed a sigh of relief, Minister Qi from the household department suddenly made a splash in the morning.

"My minister has this recitation."

"Qi Aiqing but speak."

"It's just that before the performance, I have a question, I don't know if it should be asked or not."

"ask."

"I don't know how the emperor will deal with the crime of deceiving the emperor? If this person is a relative of the emperor, what should he do?"

"Aiqing should ask the Ministry of Punishment this question." The emperor was a little impatient when he heard this question.

"Then I'm going to ask Mr. Shen from the Ministry of Punishment." After speaking, he turned and looked at Shen Dongxue who was standing in the back row.

Shen Dongxue, who was pointed out, suddenly panicked - when Shi Lang said "the crime of deceiving the emperor", she already felt that something was wrong, but now she understands it very well - she subconsciously looked at Wei Mucheng for help.

However, Wei Mucheng didn't know what happened, and was very at a loss for Shen Dongxue's frantic look for help, so he could only comfort him: "Master Shen is familiar with the law of Hui Dynasty, but it's okay to say it."

Shen Dongxue also gradually calmed down, and said calmly: "The crime of deceiving the emperor...the crime should be punished; the emperor's relatives are no exception."

"Your Majesty Shen deserves to be from Tanhua. He is an official in the Ministry of Punishment. He is really familiar with the law. Then I have another question."

"Lord Qi, may I ask?" Shen Dongxue also gave up evading, and decided to listen to what Wei Muqing said at the beginning, and to see the tricks.

Qi Shilang squinted his eyes, and asked again: "If you know the law and break the law, what should you do?"

"If you know the law and break the law, the crime will be aggravated."

"Thank you Master Shen for clarifying the confusion." Qi Shilang cupped his hands and turned to look at the emperor.

The emperor didn't understand what Qi Shilang wanted to do with this question after question, and his tone became even more impatient, "What exactly is Qi Aiqing trying to say, just say it, and this will never end?"

"I hope the emperor forgives my sins, I'm going to get to the point." After Qi Shilang finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Shen Dongxue, "What I'm going to sue today is Xinke Tanhualang, Wailang of the Ministry of Punishment, and Princess Qinghe's son-in-law. , Shen Dong learned from Mr. Shen, knowing the law and breaking the law, deceiving the king and ignoring him, the crime is unforgivable!"

"En?" Just like the emperor, all the courtiers were also very surprised.

"No, it should be Shen Dongxue—Miss Shen!"

As soon as Qi Shilang finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on Shen Dongxue.

Wei Mucheng's eyes widened, he couldn't believe it, "Master Qi is serious?!"

"It's true! Doesn't His Royal Highness think that the lower officials are talking nonsense?"

"What evidence does Qi Aiqing have?" The emperor was sullen, not sure whether he believed it or not.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have found witnesses - the midwife who delivered the baby for Miss Shen and the son who had a marriage contract with Miss Shen back then."

"Shen Aiqing, what do you have to say?" I don't know if it was a routine question, or the emperor still had a little luck.

Shen Dongxue didn't expect that they actually found Lingzhou. Hearing that there were witnesses, Shen Dongxue was already disheartened at this moment. She just wanted not to drag Wei Muqing, so she stood up and said, "Return to Your Majesty, what Lord Qi said It’s true. Minnv really disguised herself as a man to deceive the king, and Minnv pleaded guilty.”

As soon as Shen Dongxue said these words, there was another uproar in the court.

"Master Shen, do you know what I'm talking about right now?" Wei Mucheng didn't expect Shen Dongxue to admit it so readily.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to my report today, there is one more person, Princess Qinghe..."

"Lord Qi, the deception of the emperor was done by the girl alone, and has nothing to do with the princess, and the princess is just someone who was deceived by the girl." Shen Dongxue interrupted Qi Shilang, and said, "I hope your majesty will not make any mistakes. Princess."

"Come here, take Shen... Dongxue to the jail of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and hand over this case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial."

The news that Shen Dongxue's identity was exposed and taken to the prison was sent back to the concubine's mansion immediately, and Wei Muqing rushed into the palace immediately upon hearing it.

The angry emperor was discussing this matter with Wei Mucheng in the imperial study, when he heard Wei Muqing came, he said, "No see."

Wei Mucheng comforted him: "Let's meet and see, and just ask the imperial sister, Shen...what's going on with her."

The emperor thought it made sense, so he asked someone to let Wei Muqing in.

"My son greets my father, the emperor."

"You still know how to say hello? Do you think I can be okay when I hear that my son-in-law is actually a woman?"

Seeing that the emperor was really angry, Wei Muqing knelt down and said, "Go back to Emperor Father, it was my son's idea to lie to Emperor Father, it has nothing to do with Dongxue, I hope Emperor Father will learn from you."

"You knew she was a woman early in the morning?!"

When Wei Muqing heard this, he knew that Shen Dongxue had shouldered the responsibility by himself, and said, "Dongxue had no choice but to make such a move to save my brother. My son knew about it a long time ago, but he asked her to take the responsibility for his own sake. Things are being kept secret..."

"What did you say? What do you mean 'for your own selfishness'?!"

"Father did not hear wrongly. My son had misconceptions about Shen Dongxue early in the morning, so he asked her to cooperate with me and make mistakes."

"You...you..." The emperor stood up angrily when he heard the words, pointing at Wei Muqing who couldn't finish his sentence, he didn't come up in one breath, and actually fainted from anger.

Wei Mucheng looked at Wei Muqing who was still kneeling there, and he didn't know what to do, so he could only call the imperial doctor first, and sent the emperor back to the palace.

"Qing'er, is what your brother said true?" The queen also heard about today's events, she was shocked and angry.

Wei Muqing remained silent.

"You! I still think of you as a sensible child, yet you do such things behind my back!"

Wei Muqing remained silent.

The queen suddenly felt a little powerless, and sighed: "Don't go back to the manor, just reflect on it in the palace, and wait until your father wakes up!"

"Erchen... I want to visit her in the prison and give her some clothes."

When the queen heard this, she immediately became furious, "Don't tell your father that you fainted with anger, do you still have to faint this palace before it's over?"

Wei Mucheng quickly comforted him from the side: "Mother, don't worry, the imperial sister and... After all, they have lived together for so long, even if they have cats and dogs, they have feelings for each other, let alone human beings? Waiting for my son to persuade the emperor sister."

The queen waved her hand, signaling him to hurry up.

Wei Mucheng walked to Wei Muqing's side, and said softly: "Be with your mother first and then give in. Master Shen, the elder brother will ask someone to take care of you, so you don't have to worry. Besides, the father is still awake, and her case There will be no trial, there is still a chance for everything, so don't worry."

Wei Muqing raised his eyes to look at him, nodded and said, "I see, I am sorry, Brother Huang." There were faint tears in his eyes.

Wei Mucheng turned to the queen and said: "Mother, the imperial sister just told Erchen that she knew she was wrong, so she went back to Qinghe Palace to reflect. Erchen then sent the imperial sister back, and the empress mother should not be angry. I am so angry that my body is broken, the queen mother must not make my son 'worse'."

"Go, go." The queen put one hand on her forehead and waved the other.

Although Wei Mucheng and Wei Muqing said they would send someone to take care of them, they actually went to the prison of the Criminal Ministry by themselves.

The prison of the Ministry of Punishment is divided into an inner area and an outer area, and dignitaries who committed crimes were imprisoned in the inner area.Although the gates of the inner district are all dignitaries, the conditions are the same as the outer district, dark and humid.

When Wei Mucheng arrived, Shen Dongxue had already been stripped of her official uniform. She was only wearing plain single clothes, and she was sitting on the narrow bed in the cell with her legs crossed, leaning against the wall, looking up at the sight of the woman through the small high window. incoming light.

Asked the prison head to open the door, Wei Mucheng walked in, and handed the clothes Wei Muqing asked him to bring to Shen Dongxue, "Put them on first, it's really cold here."

Shen Dongxue took it over and found that it was Wei Muqing's palace attire, so she put it on carefully and thanked, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness."

"This is my birth share? Didn't you always call him Brother Huang before?"

Shen Dongxue was very surprised when she heard Wei Mucheng say this, "His Royal Highness, this is..."

Wei Mucheng smiled at her, "Actually, I was also angry at the beginning - because I was deceived and did not understand. But when I saw that something happened to you today, the imperial sister rushed into the palace, arguing in front of the imperial father. Take responsibility; I remembered how you defended the imperial sister in the palace today, and I suddenly understood. In the past two years, I have seen every bit of the relationship between you and the imperial sister. The relationship between you has not been diminished because you are both women. Think about it carefully, what is the difference between you and other couples?"

"Thank you, Brother Huang, for understanding." Shen Dongxue smiled wryly, "Princess... is she okay? Hey, I'm so disappointing, and I made her worry again."

"She has calmed down now, but she was locked up in Qinghe Palace by the queen mother to reflect, and she can't come to see you for the time being."

"She's fine, so I'm relieved."

"You don't need to worry now, your father is still awake, your case will not be heard, I told the people in the criminal department to take good care of you in the next few days."

"Your majesty...what's the matter with Father?"

"The emperor's sister directly expressed her affection for you today, and the emperor couldn't accept it for a while, so he passed out."

Shen Dongxue sighed, and blamed himself very much: "It's all my fault."

"Don't blame yourself. The imperial doctor said that the father is not seriously ill. It's just that he was overworked and rushed. Your initial idea was also good, but you didn't expect things to develop like this. It can only be good luck Fool."

"Brother Huang, please don't comfort me. I understand that this is a crime of deceiving the emperor, which is an unforgivable crime; and knowingly breaking the law, the crime will be aggravated. I only hope that the princess will not be implicated."

"Think for the best in everything. Although you haven't thought of a countermeasure yet, you can't say that you are bullying the emperor. You say that urination is a 'household matter' within the royal family. There will definitely be a chance of survival." Wei Mucheng comforted Said, "It's getting late, I should go back too. I just want to wrong you to stay here for a while, but don't think about it, and do something stupid to make the imperial sister sad."

"Don't worry, Brother Huang, I won't commit suicide." Shen Dongxue smiled with the corners of her mouth pulled, "By the way, can Brother Huang send a message to the princess?"

"what?"

Shen Dongxue thought about it, and finally shook her head, "Forget it, if we can meet again, I'll tell her personally."

"It's better if you say it yourself, don't think too much, it's not the end yet, don't give up!"

"Thank you, brother."

"Didn't the queen mother tell my son not to think about things? How is it now? Hmph!"

Concubine De knelt on the futon in front of the Buddha statue, closed her eyes and turned the beads in her hand, turning a deaf ear.

Wei Muqiu triumphantly walked to Concubine De's side, knelt down and said, "The queen mother will watch, in a few days, Wei Muqing and Wei Mucheng will really be done playing! Wait for the second brother to come back and do it!" For the new crown prince, the ministers will remember to ask the mother to have a stable old age."

"If you do many unrighteous actions, you will die." Concubine De said quietly.

"It's already at this time, mother and concubine still can't see the situation clearly? Who is the final winner in this battle! It's not him Wei Mucheng, let alone her Wei Muqing!" Hearing that Concubine De is still throwing cold water , Wei Muqiu was very angry, stood up and looked down at Concubine De and roared angrily.

Concubine De didn't speak any more, she just shook her head and began to read Buddhist scriptures.

Wei Muqiu saw that she refused to eat soft and hard food, oil and salt, so he could only sneer, flung his sleeves and left.
