After being robbed by the prince of the enemy country

"Song Hao committed suicide in fear of crime." The servant of the Criminal Ministry knelt in front of Huaizhen and replied, "I can testify that the Ministry of Criminal Justice never tortured him severely, and only asked normal questions. When I asked who he bought the answers to the test questions from , Song Hao felt guilty and sweated, and committed suicide that night in fear of crime."

"I just want to know, has he pleaded guilty or not?"

"This does not."

"Since there is no one, why do you commit suicide in fear of guilt?" Huai Zhen tried his best to suppress his anger.

With Tu Wei watching from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, of course the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not dare to mention severe torture.

Song Hao died of poisoning. According to the statement given by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he picked the lime off the prison wall and swallowed it alive.

The food that Song Hao touched last night has disappeared. There is no silver 300 taels here.

Under the eyes of the emperor, a new top scholar who was still famous was poisoned to death quietly in the prison. If the person died, he would be charged with committing suicide in fear of crime.

Now, those passionate scholars outside should be satisfied.

"Your Majesty, please re-elect the top three in Qiu Wei." Wen Teng suggested, "Since Song Hao has committed suicide in fear of crime, Li Du should still be the number one scholar in this discipline. Otherwise, it may be difficult to win the public opinion."

Huaizhen looked at Wen Teng with murderous intent, but Wen Teng was not very afraid. He was not alone in contradicting the emperor. Behind him was half of the government and the people of Zhongqin, and behind him were the scholars of the four universities and the entire Zhongqin. .

If he is convicted of this matter, the new emperor will definitely get into trouble and lose the hearts of the people.

The only thing he is afraid of is the military power in Huaizhen's hands and the loyalty of the generals of the Manchu Dynasty, but if it comes to using force to suppress the common people, then Zhongqin will be better than subjugating the country without subjugating the country.

After a long silence, Huaizhen was forced to take a step back: "Just as the Taifu said."

Besides Li Du, whoever takes the position of champion will be the next Song Hao.

"Your Majesty is wise, and the old minister wants to impeach one more person." Wen Teng glanced at Ning Yuanqiu and made an inch of it, "Song Hao's scrap paper was selected by Ning Shangshu. Now that Song Hao is convicted, Ning Shangshu is also jointly and severally responsible."

Ning Yuanqiu: "..."

"Veteran implores Your Majesty to dismiss Ning Yuan Qiu from the position of Shang Shuling."

As soon as Wen Teng said this, the speaker behind him immediately echoed loudly.

Huai Zhen tightly held the hand holding the armrest of the dragon chair, his expression was iron, but he said: "Demote Ning Yuanqiu to be a fourth-rank admonishment doctor, and temporarily retire to the Shangshutai."

Ning Yuanqiu knelt down to accept the order: "I thank Your Majesty for your grace."

Wen Teng didn't expect that Huai Zhen didn't get angry, and he couldn't drag Chu Shao into trouble for a while, so he could only stop it.

Qiwu Palace immediately received news of the change in the previous dynasty.

Chu Shao was shocked: "Privately appointing Qiu Wei's top three, and then driving Ning Yuanqiu out of Shangshutai, Wen Teng is really calculating, he is cutting off Jiu Gu's left and right arm!"

Seeing him sullen, Xiangxiu quickly persuaded him, "Your Highness calm down, your body is important!"

Chu Shao tried her best to calm down, and sat down on the soft chair weakly, "How is Mingzi?"

"Miss Chu cried all night last night, and today she went to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, saying that she was going to pick up Song Hao."

Chu Shao knew that she wanted to say goodbye, so she didn't try to stop her, but said regretfully, "The two of them shouldn't have ended like this!"

Chu Mingzi was dressed in plain white, with a disheveled bun and a white flower in her hair. She went to the Ministry of Punishment to pick up Song Hao as his wife.

Song Hao died of poisoning. Apart from his dark blue lips and purple face, he had no other injuries on his body. He was considered a relatively decent corpse from the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Chu Mingzi's tears were all shed.

Both of Song Hao's parents died, and he had no relatives, so the mourning hall was simply set up in a hut in Kyoto.

He died on behalf of the emperor, and no one came to mourn him. Only Si Yun expressed his condolences on behalf of the emperor.

As soon as Si Yun left, there were suddenly more than a dozen white-faced scholars outside. They held rotten vegetables in their hands, smashed into the mourning hall, and cursed:

"The villain who cheated in the imperial examination is not even worthy of a mourning hall!"

"The barbarians from Qizhou and other places where the country is subjugated dare to compete with our talented scholars from Zhongqin for the first place. They overestimate their abilities and die well!"

"This girl really has no sense of shame. She rushes to put on mourning for a wild man before she is married. She is a disgraceful bitch!"

They scolded and spit at the same time, Chu Mingzi's heart was ashamed, these dirty words could not hurt her at all.

Until a scholar suddenly said: "It's not because of the backing of the Demon Queen of Chu, you don't know, right? This Song Hao is the brother-in-law appointed by the Demon Queen, so the champion is naturally for my brother-in-law!"

"A man doesn't think about serving the country loyally, doesn't think about a career in imperial examinations, but wants to go to the king's bed to beg for mercy, live under others, and compete with the women in the harem. This kind of person has no character and will do nothing. strangeness!"

"I heard from the gossip that the demon queen and the false number one scholar in the coffin are both from Qizhou, so they favored others and allowed Song Hao to cheat! The Chu family has a very close relationship with Qizhou. I also heard that he is... .”

In the middle of speaking, Chu Mingzi suddenly lifted the iron basin for burning paper money, and black ash floated all over the mourning hall. She looked at the hypocritical hypocrites outside the door, her eyes were red as if they were about to bleed!

The group of scholars were stared at by her so that their backs felt chills, and they all ran away. As soon as they dispersed, the streets of the capital came into Chu Mingzi's eyes again.

In the past, she thought that the country's capital was prosperous and luxurious, which was desirable, but now she realizes that the land bounded by the imperial power is full of gold and jade, and the court hall is even more filthy and filthy, eating people invisible!

Chu Shao died once in the capital, and Song Hao was also murdered to death. The people she valued suffered a lot in this capital one by one, and had their spines stabbed by a group of shameless youngsters.

What made her even more desperate was that if she hadn't been engaged to Song Hao, Chu Shao would not have been involved in the fraud case on suspicion of favoritism.

The Chu family in Suizhou suffered all the honors and titles they shouldn't have due to Chu Qingxu's suffering, and their kindness has not yet been repaid, but they first implicated him in such unbearable turmoil.

Seeing that the public opinion is becoming more and more fierce, if they don't stop it, the relationship between Chu Qingxu and Nan Qi will be exposed to the blue sky and the sun in a short time.

Once the blood feud between the two countries is openly provoked, even Huai Zhen may not be able to protect Chu Shao.

Chu Mingzi closed her eyes silently, shed two lines of tears, and secretly made up her mind.

She went back to the inn, changed into mourning clothes, bathed and changed clothes, and dressed up, unwilling to bring the bad luck of the Ministry of Punishment into Qiwu Palace.

On the palace road of Qin Palace, Wen Rongyu saw that thin figure, and she recognized at a glance that it was Chu Shao's so-called elder sister.

She walked forward in two or three steps, pretending to be passing by, and saw that Chu Mingzi looked haggard, her eyes were red and swollen, obviously she had cried bitterly.

Chu Mingzi didn't want to pay attention to Wen Rongyu, and passed by indifferently, without even showing respect, but Wen stopped her arm.

"I heard that tomorrow will be the day when Li Du's No. [-] Scholar will parade in the streets. By the way, is tomorrow the day you and Song Hao get married?"

Wen Rongyu covered his lips, pretending to regret: "I forgot, you and Song Hao can only be married in the dark."

Chu Mingzi turned her head to look at Wen Shi, grabbed her hand, and invited her coldly: "No. 20, Concubine Wen, remember to drink the wedding wine for the dark wedding."

"You... what nonsense are you talking about? Let go!"

The maid beside Wen's stepped forward to help, and Chu Mingzi let go of her hand.

"Just wait and see, Chu Qingxu will fall into this matter sooner or later!"

Wen's dropped the harsh words, turned around and ran away.

Chu Mingzi's eyes became sad again, and she muttered in a low voice, "No way."

Habitat Wu Palace.

"Your Highness, Miss Chu is back." Xiangxiu came in with the medicine and reported by the way.

Chu Shao put down the memorial in his hand, and saw that Mingzi was wearing a green radish skirt and pearl flowers on her head, so she was willing to dress herself up.

With peace of mind, he tightly folded the memorial involving fraud in his hand and pressed it to the corner of the desk, not daring to mention Song Hao's matter, for fear that she would be sad.

"Huaixuan told me yesterday that he wanted to go horse racing on the grassland of Beiyou. Mingzi, if you want to go out to relax, you can ask the little prince to take you there."

"Beiyou's milk is delicious, and there are many ponies. Don't you like the two black soil and white clouds in my palace?"

The little black horse given by Huaizhen is called Heitu, and the little white horse given by Daiqin is called Baiyun. Huaizhen and Daiqin swore to be incompatible, but Heitu and Baiyun live in harmony. They happen to be one male and one female. Like that little rabbit, it gave birth to a litter of little ponies.

"If you like it, I'll ask Khan from Jiangdong to find one for you too?" Chu Shao clumsily made the girl happy, hoping that she would get out of the haze as soon as possible.

Chu Mingzi's voice was slightly hoarse, but she smiled and agreed to Chu Shao, "Okay."

Seeing that she was willing to go out to relax, Chu Shao was really relieved now. Huaixuan is the little sun pistachio in this Qin Palace. If Chu Mingzi can let the little prince accompany her out for a while, she will definitely be able to think about it a lot. .

Chu Mingzi took the medicine bowl, scooped up a spoonful, blew on it, and handed it to Chu Shao. Chu Shao was startled, did he want to feed him medicine?

Chu Mingzi said: "In the past few days, because of Song Hao's matter, you have been troubled and troubled."

Chu Shao faintly felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell, he didn't reject Chu Mingzi's kindness, and opened his mouth to drink the spoonful of medicine, Mingzi's eyes softened a lot, "When I was young, I also fed my brother medicine like this. "

"..."

"Xiao Shao, from the first time I saw you, I also regarded you as my own younger brother." Chu Mingzi said with a smile, "The time when your majesty sent you to live in Chu's residence was the last time for parents. It's a happy time, and the family is rarely so lively."

She tore through the window paper.

Chu Qingxu knew that Ming Zi was a smart person, "I also regard you as my own sister, it was a year ago, and it is the same now."

The two exchanged their hearts and looked at each other with a smile.

After Chu Mingzi finished feeding the bowl of medicine spoon by spoon, she suddenly felt excited: "I want to see that litter of rabbits."

Chu Shao led her to the small courtyard, where six rabbits were scattered in the grass, round and fluffy, like six huge and sturdy dandelions growing in the grass.

Chu Mingzi stepped forward to pick up one, hugged it in her arms and rubbed it, as if unwilling to part with it.

Chu Qingxu sat in the grass with her, and the little rabbits jumped into his arms. There were several of them, and Chu Shao was overwhelmed, and the other one jumped directly onto his head, messing up his hair. .

Chu Mingzi put down the rabbit, hugged the naughtiest one, and then straightened Chu Shao's long hair, with a soft light in his eyes.

Chu Shao originally thought that this was just the most ordinary afternoon.

As the evening approached, Xiangxiu came over to remind him that Your Majesty would come for dinner tonight.

Chu Shao turned over the signboard for dinner today.

There was an accident in the court a few days ago, but the harem is much more harmonious. In other words, Chu Qingxu will not obstruct Huaizhen in major matters.

Counting tonight, Huai Zhen has already come to Qiwu Palace for three dinners.

"Then I'll go first." Chu Mingzi got up and said.

Chu Shao thought she was going back to the side hall to rest.

When Chu Mingzi walked to the gate of the small courtyard, she suddenly turned around and took a deep look at Chu Shao, and received Chu Shao's eyes in response.

Chu Mingzi was blessed suddenly, bowed solemnly to Chu Qingxu, raised her eyes and said: "Father and mother are in Suizhou, please take care of my younger brother."

There were several rabbits crawling on Chu Shao's body, he was distracted for a while, but he didn't notice anything, he just promised, "Of course I will protect them."

Chu Mingzi smiled gratefully, turned around and plunged into the afterglow of the setting sun.

The next day, the number one scholar parade was held again on Qiying Street in Kyoto, this time the number one scholar holding the imperial edict was replaced by Li Du.

The gongs and drums were still blaring, and the people were cheering. No one would care that there was Song Hao's mourning hall in the deep alley of this street.

There is also a tower outside the Qin Palace, and the gate below it is called "Mingzhi Gate".Only when Zhuangyuan Lang entered the Mingzhi Gate could he really step into the Qin Palace.

When Li Duchun was proud, someone suddenly shouted: "There is someone upstairs in Mingzhi!"

Against the sun, Li Du saw a beautiful woman in a red dress with a shining phoenix crown standing on the top of Mingzhi City.

Standing on a high place, Chu Mingzi lowered her eyes to look down at the mob and Li Du on horseback.

She raised her jade hand, pointed at Li Du, and said loudly: "Your official hat was obtained by stepping on human lives."

A gust of wind almost blew away Li Du's black gauze hat with golden flowers, he raised his hand to hold it down, showing embarrassment and guilt.

Chu Mingzi sneered, her eyes were full of sadness, and she accused in a trembling voice: "Teacher Wen was raped and perverted the law, the Tribute Court operated in secret, the Criminal Department indiscriminately killed people, killed the new champion Song Hao, slandered the queen's reputation, played tricks on the government, and cholera is beyond the standard!"

"Zhongqin will perish in the hands of Wen Teng and Li Du one after another! Today, I, Chu Mingzi, will prove the innocence of Song Hao and the queen with all my might!!"

Dressed in a wedding dress, she jumped down, and when she closed her eyes, she seemed to see Song Hao also wearing such a wedding dress, and stretched out his hand towards her, Chu Mingzi smiled: "Song Lang, I will marry you."

Today was originally the day of her wedding with Song Hao.
