Forced to marry, I picked up a young powerful official

Gu Yichuan looked worried and lowered his voice, "Nan Kui, since Zhong Shan can get out, you can too. Princess Yongjia has a fickle temperament and cruel methods. No one knows what she will do. You might as well get out through the dog hole first and hide somewhere else. I'll be here."

"Yichuan, how can I abandon you?"

"This matter was caused by me. If Princess Yongjia really wanted to marry me, she might not do anything to me. But if she did something bad to you, how could I bear it? Nan Kui, how could I let you get into this situation?"

Gu Yichuan said firmly, "To avoid any more trouble, I will go and hold those two people back. You can take the opportunity to escape to the backyard. You are more familiar with the capital than I am. You should have a place to hide. That's it."

"Shh!" Shen Nankui suddenly made a gesture to keep quiet.

She leaned over the crack of the door and looked for a while, then shook her head with a wry smile and whispered, "It's too late."

I saw Ge Da and Ge Er standing outside the door, one on the left and one on the right.

Just now, in order to protect Zhongshan and prevent the Ge brothers from noticing that there was one less person in the yard, she shifted all their attention to herself. Now, the eldest and second Ge would probably stare at her, and it would be extremely difficult for her to escape again.

Gu Yichuan's heart sank and his brows furrowed.

Shen Nankui comforted him, "It's okay, just wait for Zhong Shan to come back."

As she waited, she felt sleepy and dozed off on the table for a while. The next morning, she was awakened by a noise in the yard.

When Gu Yichuan saw that she had woken up, he said, "Zhong Shan has returned and is being interrogated by the Ge brothers."

Shen Nankui came to his senses instantly and hurried to the yard with him.

She said impatiently, "Why are you yelling so early in the morning? Are you going to let me sleep?"

Ge Er sneered, "Why don't you ask first, what are you doing sneakily?"

Zhong Shan looked terrified, "Madam, I didn't do anything. I just went to the toilet and they caught me..."

"Going to the toilet? I was standing guard at the door the whole time, how come I didn't see which room you came out from?"

"You were always staring at my young master and mistress, how could you care about me?" Zhong Shan said aggrievedly, "Besides, I was scared when I saw you holding knives, so I walked lightly and didn't dare to provoke you..."

This was somewhat believable. Seeing that he looked cowardly, Ge Er was about to give up, but Ge Da suddenly stared at him and asked, "So you stayed in the toilet for half an hour?"

Zhong Shan was stared at by his cold eyes and was so frightened that he trembled.

"What, what's wrong... I have a stomachache and I can't stand it? The toilet smells so bad, do you think I want to stay in there?"

Zhong Shan was almost crying. He pulled his sleeves and pushed them in front of the two people. "If you don't believe me, just smell it!"

A foul smell wafted into their noses. Ge Da and Ge Er showed disgust on their faces and subconsciously took a step back.

"Forget it. I don't think you have the guts to do anything fancy. Go back to your room and don't come out and wander around for no reason!"

Zhong Shan felt relieved, "Yes, yes, I obey your command."

When he left, he glanced at Gu Yichuan and Shen Nankui and gave them an affirmative look.

Shen Nankui felt relieved, "Since nothing happened, I'll go back to sleep."

After saying this, she took Gu Yichuan back to the room.

-

The afternoon of the second day.

In the past two days, everyone in the capital has been saying that a major event has occurred in the court.

Marquis Jianning, who is highly favored by Your Majesty, openly impeached Prince Jing for not educating his daughter properly during the morning court session, and for condoning Princess Yongjia forcing others to divorce their wives and remarry. This is not only against the law, but also disregards human ethics. The person being forced is actually the current top scholar, a disciple of the emperor, but he was treated like this. It is simply outrageous. Not only that, even the top scholar's first wife was abducted by Princess Yongjia and placed under house arrest in the capital.

When the truth came to light, everyone from the imperial court to the common people lamented the misbehavior of Princess Yongjia. At the same time, no one expected that King Jing, who had always been known as the "virtuous king", would actually allow his daughter to do such a thing?

Moreover, impeachment was not an isolated case. In addition to Marquis Jianning, the Shen family, a doctor in the Ministry of Rites, also submitted a petition to the Jingzhao Prefecture. Several officials from Cang County also jointly submitted a petition. The people were also in turmoil. A group of scholars gathered in front of the Jingzhao Prefecture to demand an explanation for the top scholar and his wife. Even Mr. Cai, the number one painter of the Tiansheng Dynasty who had always stayed away from officialdom, had spoken up for this matter.

For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the government and the public.

In just two days, King Jing, who was known as a wise king, became a target of public condemnation.

Logically speaking, the evidence of Princess Yongjia's actions is solid, and Marquis Jianning is holding a handwritten letter from the top scholar and his wife. The matter should have been concluded immediately, but His Majesty has not yet made any decision...

Of course, Shen Nankui and Gu Yichuan didn't know about these things.

The letters in the hands of Jianning Marquis Mansion, the Shen family, and Cai Ling were naturally written by Shen Nankui. The other officials and students who spoke for them were all Gu Yichuang's connections.

In this life, she had no friendship with the Marquis Jianning's Mansion. The reason she dared to write a letter was because she knew that Marquis Jianning was Prince Chun's man. Prince Chun and Prince Jing were political enemies and had always disagreed with each other. With such a big handle on Prince Jing delivered to her door, she was sure that Marquis Jianning would not let it go.

In order to prevent the letter from being delivered, she specifically told Zhong Shan to go find Nanny Sun who was by the side of Marquis Jianning's wife. From beginning to end, she never considered Shen Pingwan.

Needless to say, Shen Nankui wrote a letter to Cai Ling, as he believed that he would help him.

When she wrote the letter to the Shen family, she hesitated for a long time, but she finally wrote it. After all, we all prosper together and suffer together. Besides, there is the Marquis' Mansion in front, and it would be unreasonable if the Shen family did not stand up.

Although Shen Nankui and Gu Yichuang did not know what the situation was like outside, if things went well, they would have spread the news and there would be results soon. However, they waited until the third day and there was still no movement in the courtyard. The two of them could not help but feel anxious.

On the evening of the third day, Princess Yongjia arrived.

As soon as she arrived, she asked, "Gu Lang, the three-day deadline has come, have you thought about it?"

Gu Yichuan was somewhat confused and frowned, "I'm afraid the princess can't even protect herself, so why would she make it difficult for me?"

Princess Yongjia stopped smiling and said, "I didn't expect that you guys were so good at this. In just three days, you made me a criminal in everyone's eyes. I'm curious. This courtyard is well guarded by the Ge brothers. How did you get the news out?"

When Shen Nankui heard what she said, he knew that the matter was settled.

He sneered and said, "Instead of questioning us, Princess, you should reflect on yourself. Although the Jingwang Mansion is deep-rooted, there are countless eyes watching. You are so reckless, don't you think about the consequences?"
