The Favorite of the Court of Joy

Zhao Yunning saw that Nie Zhiyuan beside him was not calm, and said, "Why are you panicking? Even if he really asked for Shangfang's sword, no one can take you away without my consent."

Nie Zhiyuan tried his best to defend himself, saying: "My husband didn't panic, but I was afraid that they would scare the princess and the baby in my womb."

How could Zhao Yunning fail to see that he was lying. "Don't worry, with my father here, even the emperor will not do anything to you easily?" Zhao Yunning relied on the doting of the Empress Dowager Li and the influence of the Li family, and bullied Zhao Yunxuan who lost his biological mother a lot when he was young.Even if Zhao Yunxuan became the emperor, she never took it seriously.In Zhao Yunning's thinking, the throne is given by her mother and uncle, so Zhao Yunxuan has to be an obedient emperor, and the mother loves her so much, no matter what big things her husband has committed, as long as she says she can't take him away Her husband, the emperor cannot arrest her.

At this time, the butler brought Shi Zheng, and he walked upright and upright, holding a sword in his hand, both Zhao Yunning and Nie Zhiyuan stared at the sword.

"For my humble minister, please refer to the Eldest Princess, and to your lord servant."

Zhao Yunning gave him a contemptuous look, and after a while, he said, "Excuse me. Shi Zheng, you have a Shangfang sword in your hand, let me see it?"

Shi Zheng knew that the sword might not be taken back when taken out, so he held the sword in front of Zhao Yunning, paused for a while, then turned the other side to show Zhao Yuning, and finally kept the sword firmly by his side .

Zhao Yunning saw it clearly, the patterns on the body of the sword were finely chiseled, and the patterns were clear. One side of the sword body was engraved with a soaring dragon, and the other side was engraved with a phoenix spreading its wings. Moreover, the body of the sword was also decorated with the Big Dipper, in the shape of the sword responding to the sky. It is Shang Fang's sword.But she still deliberately said: "I didn't see it clearly, why is the sword real or fake? Show it to Bengong to have a closer look."

Shi Zheng ignored her tricks and said, "If the eldest princess doesn't believe it, she can sue the emperor for the crime of deceiving the emperor."

Zhao Yunning half-closed his eyes and looked at Shi Zheng, feeling very angry, this little Zhima official didn't buy her, she said: "I ask you, what are you trying to do with such a big battle?"

"Returning to the princess, I want to ask Mr. Shi Lang to go to the Yamen of Jingzhao Mansion."

Zhao Yunning snorted and said: "If you have anything to say, you can't say it in my princess's mansion, you have to go to your mansion."

"Master Shi Lang was suspected of cheating for personal gain in the scientific research, and this minister just came to take Mr. Shi Lang for a visit as usual to ask a question."

"I'll say it again, if you want to ask him on the spot, if you want to take him away, there's no way."

Shi Zheng was not easily oppressed by the power, he asked: "What if the humble minister must take away the servant today?"

Zhao Yunning gave him a disdainful glance, she really met someone who dared to contradict her today, okay, very good, she replied to him, saying: "If you dare to take Nie Zhiyuan away in front of this princess, my princess Let you go back to your hometown tomorrow to farm."

"Come here~~" Shi Zheng shouted, "Take servant Nie away."

"Princess, princess, I..." Nie Zhiyuan tugged at Zhao Yuning's sleeve in panic.

"You dare!" Zhao Yunning hadn't been so angry for a long time, because no one except Queen Mother Li dared to confront her.

But Shi Zheng didn't give up, and the people he brought only listened to him, immediately handcuffed Nie Zhiyuan and took him away.

"It's wrong, it's wrong, it's really wrong." Zhao Yunning's eyes turned red, and he shouted angrily, "Come on, beat them out of this palace."

Zhao Yunning's men immediately surrounded Shi Zheng and the others. Zhao Yunning and Nie Zhiyuan thought that Shi Zheng would be beaten up by them, and then he would piss off his backside.However, the fact is that their people were beaten to the ground one by one by the people Shi Zheng brought.Several of the people Shi Zheng brought were Zhao Minghan's secret guards who disguised themselves as policemen and sneaked in to help Shi Zheng.

"Princess, I've offended you." Shi Zheng saluted her, and then said, "Take her away."

"You... ah... let him go..." Zhao Yunning's mood fluctuated greatly, and his pregnant belly hurt, so he couldn't stop Shi Zheng for the time being.

While being taken away, Nie Zhiyuan turned his head and shouted: "Princess, princess, save me, ask the queen mother to save me."

After Nie Zhiyuan was taken away, Zhao Yunning was supported by the maids and sat on the soft couch. Not only did she have a stomachache, but her mood was extremely bad. This Shi Zheng simply didn't take her seriously. want him to die.

"Come here, prepare the car, I want to enter the palace to meet the queen mother."

Shi Zheng took Nie Zhiyuan back to the yamen for interrogation, but Nie Zhiyuan did not admit that he copied the candidates' handwriting and dropped their test papers.So Shi Zheng tortured him.Nie Zhiyuan was originally a delicate, tender and weak scholar who could not stand torture. He almost confessed the truth several times, but when he thought that Zhao Yunning could find the Queen Mother and let him go, Taishi Li and others might ignore them, so he hesitated. Bite your mouth and don't let go.

Grand Master Li also rushed to the palace when he got the news, he knew that it was inconvenient for him to make a move at this moment, and the Empress Dowager had to issue an order to suppress Shang Fang's sword.

When he arrived in the palace, he saw Zhao Yunning sitting beside the queen mother crying with her big belly, and the queen mother was even more angry.When Zhao Yunning saw Taishi Li coming, he cried and said to him: "Uncle, you can save my husband."

"Ning'er, why don't you ask the emperor."

Zhao Yunning's face drooped, and he snorted and said, "I begged, but he didn't see me. He is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf. He became the emperor with the help of his mother and Li's family hall, and now his wings are hard. If you do, you will turn your face and deny anyone, and shut me out."

"Ning'er, don't talk nonsense." Queen Mother Li scolded her.It is good that everyone knows some things well, and there is no need to say them so loudly.Since the emperor became more and more capable, Empress Dowager Li even suspected that someone had been placed in her palace by the emperor.

Zhao Yunning pouted, feeling even more aggrieved, why no one wanted to help her. "Empress, son-in-law is wrong, son-in-law is impatient for my husband. I heard that Shi Zheng is a soft and hard person. I'm afraid my husband must be tortured to death by him now. What if... what if my husband lost his life somewhere?" , there minister... woo woo..." Zhao Yunning continued crying, "The minister is not about to become a widow, the child in her womb will have no father as soon as it is born, woo..."

Empress Dowager Li was troubled and distressed.The trouble is that Nie Zhiyuan is really a hindrance. He doesn't have much ability and dares to ask Liu behind his daughter's back.She felt sorry for her only daughter, and finally found someone she liked, who obeyed her in everything, and finally became pregnant. Now that the child's father was arrested, the alleged incident was not small, so she couldn't just sit back and watch Seeing your daughter's widowed grandson lost his father.So, she asked Su Gonggong to pass an oral order to Shi Zheng, and asked Shi Zheng to release Nie Zhiyuan immediately.

Nie Zhiyuan, who was in the yamen, was tortured to the point of mental breakdown, and kept thinking why Zhao Yunning didn't come to rescue him.Just when he was about to lose his hold on telling the truth, Eunuch Su came with Queen Mother Li's oral order.

"The empress dowager ordered, and everyone listened to the order."

Shi Zheng led everyone to kneel down to listen to the decree, "My humble minister listens to the decree."

"According to the Queen Mother's oral order, Yin Shizheng of Jingzhao Mansion immediately released Minister Nie."

As soon as this remark came out, the candidates who were listening to the interrogation outside were very angry. The Queen Mother Li was trying to bend the law for personal gain.

Kneeling on the ground, Nie Zhiyuan, who was on the verge of dying, came alive with a smug smile on his lips, and said to Shi Zheng, "Come quickly and untie this officer."

Su Gonggong said in a sharp voice: "What's the matter, Mr. Shi, why don't you accept the order to thank you?"

Shi Zheng, who was kneeling on the ground, did not act for a long time. Seeing that Nie Zhiyuan was about to recruit workers, he let Empress Dowager Li's dictation come out halfway. He could not let such a key person go.Shi Zheng didn't receive the order, but stood up and fetched Shangfang's sword, saying, "Shangfang's sword is as if I were here in person."

At this moment, Eunuch Su and Nie Zhiyuan couldn't be complacent, they knelt down and shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"The emperor gave me Shang Fang's sword to investigate this matter. He once said that if there is any obstacle, you can cut it first and then play it."

Eunuch Su raised his lotus finger, pointed at Shi Zheng and said, "You...you are so courageous, don't tell me you want to kill the Queen Mother?"

"I don't dare, but at this moment, Eunuch Su, you are the one who is going to take Minister Nie away. I can kill you first."

The examinees outside responded even more, "Kill him, kill him, kill him..."

"You...you...you..." Su Gonggong was so frightened that he gasped and couldn't say a whole sentence for a long time.

Nie Zhiyuan collapsed back again, lying on the ground thinking about whether to tell the story, whether he was forced to be lenient.When he was in despair, he suddenly heard a female voice outside, igniting new hope.

"Who is so bold to behead the head of Aijia Palace?" A pair of mother and daughter came in, both dressed in bright yellow, with dazzling accessories on their heads. Princess Anning.Everyone knelt here again to welcome the queen mother and princess.Empress Dowager Li didn't want to come at first, but Zhao Yunning said that Shi Zheng might not be willing to obey the Empress Dowager's orders because he was holding a Shangfang sword.These words can be regarded as stimulating the Empress Dowager Li, she wanted to know how "hard" the emperor's wings were, and whether she really wanted to refute her face?

Zhao Yunning looked at her husband being tortured so much; he was in such a state of embarrassment, and hated Shi Zheng so much in his heart, he said angrily: "You slaves, hurry up and untie the son-in-law."

This group of police officers had long been conquered by Shi Zheng's righteousness, they only obeyed Shi Zheng's orders, Shi Zheng didn't speak, and they didn't move.

Shi Zheng said: "Come here, invite the queen mother and princess to be seated."

Seeing that the arrester did not move, Zhao Yunning was so angry that he cried and begged the Queen Mother, "Queen Mother, look at them, ah...my stomach..."

"Hurry up, sit down..." Zhao Yunning's stomach ached, and Empress Dowager Li's heartstrings were broken. She stomped on the gold-plated dove staff and angrily reprimanded Shi Zheng: "Hurry up and let the Ai family go, or the Ai family will be destroyed immediately." your position."

The examinees outside the door whispered and were aggrieved, and Zhou Bowen even shouted: "Since ancient times, it has been said that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and you have no right to dismiss Shi Zheng from his official position, Empress Dowager."

These words echoed a hundred times, and all the candidates and some ordinary people shouted together: "The harem must not interfere in politics, the harem must not interfere in politics, the harem must not interfere in politics..."
