After being married off by my younger sister, I became the most beloved person in the palace

"Commander Cheng arrested the man and locked him up in the Ministry of Justice. He was brought to the palace for the morning court today..."

As Qingcheng was speaking, a hand suddenly reached out from the side, and Ruyi held a teacup in front of him and said, "Have some tea."

"Thank you." Qing Cheng thanked him, took a sip, and continued, "The emperor originally wanted to ask Shen Linzhou about the weaknesses of the bandits in Qianfeng Mountain and how they cooperated with Marquis Xuanping, but Shen Linzhou didn't know anything and kept crying foul, saying that he had only arrived in the capital yesterday and had not had time to report to the emperor that Marquis Xuanping had been arrested."

"The emperor naturally didn't believe it and flew into a rage. He was sentenced to military punishment. He was beaten with a hundred military sticks outside the Yangxin Palace and was barely alive when he was dragged out of the palace. This was not the end. The emperor angrily accused Shen Linzhou of being a deserter and disregarding the lives of soldiers. This was a heinous crime. Lord Shen was dismissed from his post and investigated for his poor parenting. Even his eldest son, Shen Linshu, was not spared. He was dismissed from office, stripped of his honors, and banned from the court for life."

"That's good now. The Shen family has completely become a family of commoners."

Gu Zhiyin held the teacup, a light smile flashing in her eyes.

"Shen Linzhou deserves it."

In this life, no matter how capable he is, his career has come to an end.

Being granted a title of nobility or becoming a general is just a dream.

The Shen family was demoted because of him, and as long as Emperor Chengde was in power, no member of the Shen family would be able to serve as an official in the court.

From then on, Shen Linzhou became the sinner of the Shen family.

It is undeniable that Gu Zhiyin felt very angry at this moment.

In this life, Shen Linzhou can only struggle in the mud for the rest of his life and will never be able to turn over.

It was she who asked Qingcheng to secretly spread the rumor that he was ungrateful and deserted the army without caring about the life and death of Marquis Xuanping.

Before Shen Linzhou returned to Beijing.

Even though the time for suppressing the bandits has been advanced, what is supposed to happen will not change. Marquis Xuanping will be caught, and Shen Linzhou will escape from Qianfeng Mountain with the help of Marquis Xuanping.

Long before Shen Linzhou escaped from Qianfeng Mountain, the story had already been spread by Gu Zhiyin with exaggerations.

It was also she who told Cheng Hong to go to the Shen family to guard it.

Shen Linzhou would most likely quietly return home in the middle of the night.

Because in his previous life, he returned to the Shen family without alerting anyone, and stayed in the mansion for five full days, until he discussed with her a plan to make amends and even gain merit by rescuing Marquis Xuanping, and then he appeared in the palace to meet the emperor.

Only then did the emperor know what had happened on Qianfeng Mountain.

Shen Linzhou volunteered to rescue Marquis Xuanping without sacrificing innocent soldiers. In the eyes of the emperor, he was a brave and resourceful man.

"Do you know when the Duke of Protectorate will set out for Qianfeng Mountain?" Gu Zhiyin asked.

Qingcheng: "It's settled, tomorrow!"

Gu Zhiyin turned around and asked Ruyi, "Is the money ready?"

Ruyi nodded: "I'm ready, Princess."

"Take your things and let's go into the palace." Gu Zhiyin said.

"Yes."

Qingcheng drove the carriage towards the palace gate.

The imperial guards guarding the gate saw the carriage coming directly towards them and were about to stop it with their guns, but the next moment they saw a slender hand reaching out from behind the lifted curtain, and a token made of pure gold appeared before their eyes, with the three words "Cining Palace" engraved on it in a flamboyant manner.

The guard was startled and quickly stepped aside respectfully.

Gu Zhiyin had the privilege of being the empress dowager, and her carriage entered the palace unimpeded.

The imperial guards were left stunned: "This carriage looks very simple, which family is this noble from?"
