The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Song Ruhong thought about it and felt that he could only apologize to Ge Dongqing again. He said word for word, "Your Majesty, the lighter ones will be punished with thirty, the heavier ones with fifty, and those with particularly serious offenses will be caned to death."

Wan Lianxing not only nodded, but also pretended to be nonchalant, "Then follow the law. Thirty lashes of the cane is not less... Fourth Lady, Dong Qing is in such a state that we can't execute him today. You should take him back. It won't be too late to execute him after he wakes up. I still need to discuss this with the ministers."

"Your Majesty, I want to divorce Ge Dongqing, not take him back to the palace."

"I do not agree to a divorce. You may return home. As long as I am here, no one can shake your position as the legal wife."

At this time, the palace maids that Wan Lianxing had sent to the music house in the east of the city to invite people came back. There were a large number of them, and they were wearing colorful and dazzling clothes.

Cheng Feng's hands, which were squeezing Wan Lianxing's shoulders, froze, and then he began squeezing vigorously again, "My uncle has such a refined taste that he even listens to singing and dancing when discussing matters with the ministers!"

Wan Lianxing, weary of explaining himself, in order to prove that he wasn't a tyrant and extravagant ruler, had no choice but to explain, "Hong Zhekai, a doctor from the Ministry of Water Resources, came to the palace this morning. I'm going to have lunch with everyone at noon, so I invited the musicians."

Wan Lianxing really didn't want to say that this was Ge Dongqing's suggestion. He was also glad that the singing and dancing in the hall had all left. If his nephew and niece saw it, they would think that he and Ge Dongqing were like-minded.

Cheng Feng chuckled, "Uncle, you're not going to invite Shang Xi and me to have lunch, are you?"

Wan Lianxing wanted to say that he was dreaming, but he swallowed the words back. "Don't worry about why I called you here. I have an urgent matter to entrust to you. You... immediately... send your Uncle Ge and Aunt Ge back."

Wan Lianxing spoke word for word, but Cheng Feng refused to listen. It was okay for him to send someone back, but if a person who was half-dead and whose illness was unknown died on the road, how could he explain it clearly? Besides, he had just entered the palace and hadn't figured out the situation yet, nor had he seen the excitement yet. He refused to leave.

"Uncle, the doctor hasn't found anything wrong yet and hasn't prescribed the medicine yet. It wouldn't be appropriate to send him back now."

Wan Lianxing whispered to Cheng Feng, "You don't need a doctor. I can treat your uncle Ge's illness. He's not sick. He's just pretending to be dead. Take him back. I think he has a headache."

Cheng Feng was caught off guard. He pointed at Ge Dongqing, who lay dead on the ground, then bent down to look Wan Lianxing in the eye. "Really? He's deceiving the king, and you're just going to let him do that?"

Cheng Feng didn't waste any of the heat he was saying, spraying it all onto Wan Lianxing's face. Wan Lianxing raised his hand and pushed Cheng Feng's face away, "How could I do that? Kill him? Your uncle Ge may have had bad behavior, but he was a loyal minister and a good general. He made immortal contributions to our Fengqi. He was my right-hand man and the backbone of our army. Although he had many minor flaws, he had great talent and was a pillar of our country."

Seeing Wan Lianxing's earnest words, Cheng Feng knew that his uncle was partial to Ge Dongqing. He said bluntly, "I think you are partial."

"What do you know? If I really cripple your Uncle Ge, it will be Si Niang who suffers. How can I let them divorce? Stay out of the affairs of our elders and send you, Uncle Ge, and Si Niang back home quickly."

Cheng Feng chuckled again, "Okay, I'll carry it back to Uncle Ge."

At this moment, Shang Xi suddenly saw a handkerchief on the ground. It was embroidered in black. The font and style were so familiar to her. "'An old yellow flower in the home', huh? Why is this handkerchief here?"

Shang Xi's scream attracted everyone's attention, including Wan Lianxing.

"This handkerchief is the culprit. Where else could it be if not here?" At this time, Wan Lianxing hated handkerchiefs the most. Seeing Shang Xi making a fuss, he wanted to give the handkerchief directly to Shang Xi.

Shang Xi picked up the handkerchief on the ground and shook it. She was even more convinced that she had seen this handkerchief before. "I picked up this handkerchief when I accompanied Yuhua to Lingchen Temple some time ago. Later, it ended up in Cheng Youning's Prince's Mansion. Cheng Youning gave it to me again, but I asked him to throw it away. How did it end up here?"

At this moment, Ge Dongqing leaped up high, as nimble as a rabbit. He was completely unaware of the silver coin stuck in his philtrum, and he didn't care what the occasion was. He shouted with a surging anger: "Oh, so it was that brat Youning who harmed me, Ge Dongqing. I was wondering why this thing was nailed to my door with an arrow. It turns out it was that brat Youning who did it. He wanted to kill me, Ge Dongqing."

Originally, Ge Dongqing pretended to be dead and Wan Lianxing pretended to be oblivious, thinking that Cheng Feng would carry the man away and the matter would be over. However, he had never expected Cheng Youning to appear in the middle of the matter. Wan Lianxing looked at Ge Dongqing, who looked like he wanted to settle the score with Cheng Youning, and asked, "Are you awake?"

Ge Dongqing slapped his head, looking at the crowd staring at him with annoyance. Why had he gotten up in such excitement just now? Was it too late to lie down and pretend to be dead?

With so many eyes watching, can Wan Lianxing watch him perform one show and then a second one?

Wan Lianxing wanted to let Ge Dongqing go, but Ge Dongqing himself refused to cooperate. What could he do but enforce the law impartially.

"Come here, since Lord Ge has woken up, let's continue the execution."

"Brother, it was the prince who harmed me."

"The prince harmed you, so I will punish him. You broke the law, so I will punish you first. You and the prince will be punished one by one, and neither of you can escape."

He was beaten with thirty sticks, and in the end Cheng Feng carried the person back. Si Niang was driven away by the emperor, and Shang Xi also followed him tactfully.

The entire hall was left with only Wan Lianxing and a group of ministers who were too guilty to speak. They looked at each other, and a group of young men and women from the East City Music Hall were waiting there.

Since Ge Dongqing was made to look so foolishly foolish by Cheng Youning, Wan Lianxing, who had always been fair and just, had to stand up and speak a fair word at this time, "The prince is naughty and teased the ministers. He should be punished. Come, summon the prince."

When the ministers heard that Cheng Youning was going to be summoned, they were thrown into disarray.

They panicked and began to say all kinds of good things about Cheng Youning because they remembered how they impeached Cheng Youning when the kite incident happened.

At that time, they were talking to each other, they were filled with righteous indignation, shared the same hatred of the enemy, they were passionate and eloquent, at that time they wanted to put the "unforgivable" Cheng Youning to death.

They came up with all kinds of punishments for the prince without considering that he was just a nine-year-old child who was not yet able to judge right from wrong and could not distinguish who was a good person and who was a bad person.
