The quick travel journey of the cold heroine
Chapter 144: A Commoner Woman's Revenge on the Powerful (52)
Three days later, almost everyone in the capital knew that the owner of Mingyuan Hall had lost both his parents at the hands of Ying Wan'er, a noble lady in the court.
Now Ying Wan'er is going to take action against the owner of Mingyuan Hall again. The owner of Mingyuan Hall is forced to close Mingyuan Hall and leave the capital.
Since the night Shui Zhizi returned from the celebration banquet, she has never opened Mingyuan Hall and Corning Tower again. This is no longer a rumor in the minds of the people.
Some people also revealed that General Ying's daughter, Ying Wan'er, was cruel and bloodthirsty, which went against the loyal minister's wishes.
The rumor not only told the year and month when Ying Wan'er killed someone, but also why she killed people and who they killed.
Such precise rumors did not seem to be false, and public resentment arose immediately.
There were even many people kneeling at the gate of Kyoto Prefecture to appeal for Shui Zhizi's injustice. Everyone was asking the court to investigate Ying Wan'er strictly and save Mingyuan Hall.
The entrance to Prince Rui's Palace was crowded with people.
Shui Zhizi once again received the emperor's order to enter the palace, but she claimed to be sick and stayed indoors.
In the imperial study, the emperor threw all the memorials appealing for justice for Shui Zhizi in front of Li Chuan.
"Li Chuan, your fiancée is very nice. She is trying to force me to give in and kill Ying Wan'er."
Li Chuan looked at the extremely angry emperor and said something that no one expected.
"Doesn't Ying Wan'er deserve to die? If it were someone else, any of the things she did would not be punishable by death."
Prince Rui listened to Li Chuan's tone and sighed silently. Just like Shui Gardenia, he didn't want to live anymore.
Zheng Hong, who was standing in front, looked down at the ground, but his eyes were actually not focused at all.
He regretted it. He regretted cleaning up the mess for Ying Wan'er and regretted deceiving Li Chuan.
Zheng Hong thought he might have ruined Li Chuan.
During these three days, Li Chuan never went to court, nor did he return to the Li Mansion. After visiting his parents' graves, he stayed outside Mingyuan Hall where Shui Zhizi lived.
Shui Zhizi said that she would meet Li Chuan only when Li Chuan remembered everything. Li Chuan had hit his head so hard that it looked like a human being, but he still couldn't remember anything.
When he went to bring Li Chuan into the palace, he was nearly slashed by Li Chuan with a sword. Later, he told Li Chuan that he was asked to enter the palace to discuss the matter of redressing the grievances for the Li family. Only then did Li Chuan reluctantly tidy up his appearance and follow him into the palace.
"Your Majesty, are there any false rumors in the capital? Why didn't Your Majesty seem angry when he heard the injustice of my parents at the celebration banquet?
Now the people in the capital are just telling the truth, why is the emperor so angry? So the emperor still intends to protect Ying Wan'er?"
The emperor couldn't help but throw the remaining memorials on the table at Li Chuan's head. "How dare you!"
Originally, the previous memorials were also intended to be thrown at Li Chuan's head, but when the emperor looked up and saw Li Chuan's head that was swollen like a human, he subconsciously threw it away.
Li Chuan knelt down like a zombie and said, "Your Majesty, please grant me death, but before you do, please let me go and allow me and Ying Wan'er to divorce."
"Father, please show mercy. I beg you to spare Lord Li this time because of his dedication to the Yan Dynasty over the years."
"Your Highness has started to be a good person now. Why didn't you think of forgiving me once when you lied to me?"
Prince Rui stood nearby and his vision went dark again and again.
This is really seeking death.
"I think you really don't want to live anymore. If you don't want to live, then go die now. Someone, come..."
"Father!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice. Now all eyes are on the Li Mansion. If Your Majesty orders Li Chuan to be executed now, I am afraid he will lose the support of the people."
"The people's support? Do I still have the people's support? I should have killed Shui Zhizi that night to prevent her from going out and disturbing the people."
She was really bold to force him, an emperor, into no choice.
"Father, I'm sure you've heard about what Ying Wan'er has done over the years. Most of the rumors in the capital are true. It's okay for Your Majesty to take this opportunity to give justice to the victims."
"Do you know that she is General Ying's daughter? How many generals in the court are watching?"
"Your Majesty, if you continue to let this go, General Ying's reputation will be ruined by Ying Wan'er. And at this moment, no general in the court would dare to stand up for Ying Wan'er."
Yes, now that he, the emperor, has been put under house arrest, what can those generals do?
Those generals still had the nerve to go look for Shui Zhizi in public, which made Shui Zhizi even more popular among the people.
"They are all the talents you have found. It was you who swore to me that Shui Zhizi was a kind-hearted person and would never do anything to harm Da Yan!"
King Rui knelt down and accepted his fate, "It is because I did not know people well enough."
"Okay, Prince Rui, I order you to investigate without hesitation. After the investigation, you can do whatever you need to do. There is no need to save face for anyone in a public trial. I will settle the score with Shui Zhizi afterwards!"
Prince Rui and Zheng Hong were both trembling in their hearts, the emperor really had murderous intentions.
Shui Zhizi made a wrong move. She shouldn't have used the emperor so blatantly. She was taking advantage of the people. The emperor will not tolerate her.
Now it seems that she has achieved the result she wanted, but how will she live in the future?
Prince Rui shook his head as he watched Li Chuan leave the imperial study like a walking corpse.
Shouldn't we help Shui Zhizi find a solution at this moment? What's the point of him acting like this?
He is risking his life, but he is really giving it away in vain.
"King Zhan, I'm afraid we have to think of a solution, otherwise Shui Zhizi will be avenged and die."
Maybe the emperor would have some sympathy for Shui Zhizi after hearing what she said at the banquet that day? Although he wanted to protect Ying Wan'er, he also felt that it had not been easy for Shui Zhizi along the way.
But Shui Zhizi's disturbance would definitely leave Ying Wan'er with no way to escape and she would not be able to survive. But it would also make the Emperor wary of her, and she might not survive either.
Zheng Hong smiled, but the smile looked bitter no matter how you looked at it.
"Maybe she never wanted to live." After saying this, he staggered away.
Prince Rui was left alone with a headache. None of them could be trusted. No wonder Shui Gardenia looked down upon any of them.
When Zheng Hong said this at this moment, he was just lamenting Shui Zhizi's madness and determination.
But unexpectedly, his words came true.
As the rumors intensified and the court came forward to hold a public trial that night, the Mingyuantang headquarters where Shui Zhizi worked was burned to ashes.
That night, Shui Zhizi was the only one living in Mingyuan Hall.
As everyone knows, on the second day after Mingyuan Hall and Kangning Tower closed, when a military general came to the door and asked to see Shui Zhizi by name, Shui Zhizi had already asked other people from Mingyuan Hall and Kangning Tower to leave the capital to avoid disaster.
When Shui Zhizi sent Wu Kai, Wu You and others away that day, many people saw it. They saw how Shui Zhizi and others were forced into a desperate situation, so the people became even more angry.
The news can spread in the capital at the fastest speed.
Now Shui Zhizi was burned to death, using exactly the same method as what happened to the Li family back then.
