After rebirth, I married the emperor's uncle and overthrew my ex-husband's kingdom

Marquis Yong'an suddenly raised his head, turned his head to look at the gate, and saw Princess Suhua running in with sweat all over her forehead.

She grabbed the arm of the Marquis of Yong'an and said, "My Lord, please go and save Hui'er!"

Yong'an Marquis put aside her hand and walked quickly to the prince, "Your Highness, this matter..."

"Minister Zhao promised me that day at the restaurant that he would show some leniency. As for my father... as long as Minister Zhao shows some mercy, my father will naturally turn a blind eye. There is no need to worry too much."

The prince was not worried about Jiang Hui's return. What he was more anxious about now was that his uncle had been to Yaochi Villa. If someone found out, it would definitely be a big trouble!

Princess Suhua clenched her handkerchief tightly, and her heart finally settled down a little after hearing what the prince said.

But she was also worried that her precious baby’s injuries had not yet healed, and now he was thrown into prison, and she didn’t know whether he would suffer.

"Xu Lingyun led his men into the mansion and took Hui'er away without asking any questions. I don't know whether he was taken to Jingzhao Prefecture or to a prison."

She looked at the prince pleadingly, "Hui'er's injuries have not healed yet, and now he is in prison. If they torture him to extract a confession, I'm afraid Hui'er..."

Thinking of the suffering Jiang Hui had endured, Princess Suhua's heart ached and tears couldn't help but fall from her eyes.

Marquis Yong'an also looked worried.

Xu Lingyun was framed by the prince, and although the plot failed, it definitely angered him.

If the person was in Xu Lingyun's hands, I'm afraid everything would be done according to the law, and torture would be used to extract a confession!

"Your Highness, since Minister Zhao of the Ministry of Justice has already agreed to show mercy, why don't you send Hui'er directly to the Ministry of Justice and let it take over this matter?"

The prince nodded and said, "Send someone to do it."

Now Xu Lingyun is his enemy rather than his friend. Since Xu Lingyun is in his hands, he is really afraid that something else might happen.

In Jingzhao Prefecture, Xu Lingyun went straight to the court and first beat Jiang Hui with twenty boards.

When they were about to interrogate her, Zhao Qianqian's father came to Jingzhao Prefecture in person with his men.

"Master Zhao?"

Xu Lingyun saw him, stood up and walked down the court, bowed to him, and said, "I wonder why you are here, sir?"

Zhao Mingqing raised his chin towards the person who was wailing in pain on the ground.

Xu Lingyun frowned slightly and glanced at Zhao Mingqing imperceptibly.

It is said that the Minister of Justice Zhao Mingqing is as upright as his name suggests, with a clean character and a stern character, and he is upright in his dealings.

snort!

Fishing for fame and reputation!

"In life, there are many things that are beyond our control." Zhao Qingming sighed and patted his arm. "Master Xu, can I have a word with you?"

Xu Lingyun took him to his study and asked someone to prepare tea.

Zhao Qingming sat on the chair and said helplessly, "It is common to see teeth fall out when the tongue survives, strength will never defeat weakness, a door rots but never hears of moths eating it, and how can stubbornness be as good as harmony."

Xu Lingyun sat down next to him, looking puzzled, "Brother Zhao, what do you mean by this?"

He and Zhao Qingming were students from the same academy. At the beginning, Teacher Kong had a high opinion of him, saying that if he entered the court as an official, he would definitely be a good official who would speak up for the people.

Zhao Qingming clapped his hands on the armrests of the imperial chair, his dignified face showing a hint of mockery, "This world ultimately belongs to the royal family, and we are nothing more than subjects of this royal family. If the king wants his subjects to die, then they have to die!"

"You mean..."

Xu Lingyun was shocked and his face suddenly darkened.

Zhao Qingming sighed and smiled bitterly, "There are tens of thousands of students in this world who have studied hard for dozens of years. Who doesn't have the ambition to establish a heart for the world, to establish a life for the people, to inherit the lost knowledge of the past sages, and to maintain peace for all eternity?"

"You have already forgotten Confucius' earnest teachings. Have you also forgotten the oath you made to the heavens and earth under the bright and clear sky?!"

Xu Lingyun thought that Zhao Qingming came to persuade him to go along with the prince, so he stopped calling him "senior brother" and his voice suddenly turned cold.

"How can I forget?"

Zhao Qingming exhaled heavily, his expression became serious, "A gentleman's study is to improve himself and prepare for the use of the country! Govern with virtue, clear the source and correct the root, cultivate oneself, save the world, govern the country, and bring peace to the world!"

"Brother, I will never forget this until I die!"

"I studied hard to become an official, thinking that I could realize my ambitions once I entered the imperial court. However, in this majestic imperial city, everyone is trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful, forming cliques and pursuing personal interests. If I want to protect myself, I must not abide by the rules."

Xu Lingyun opened his tightly pursed lips and interrupted him sharply, "So, you mean to say that you had no choice but to go along with the prince?"

Zhao Qingming looked at him and smiled, "The first time I saw you speak out in the court without fear of the emperor's power, I knew then that you were like me, willing to break but not yield."

When Xu Lingyun got angry, he continued, "Brother, I didn't come here today to talk about you and the prince. I just want to tell you that I have never forgotten the faith in my heart."

Zhao Qingming stood up and stretched his sleeves. "Let's go. Someone from the Ministry of Justice is waiting for us."

Xu Lingyun went to the court with him with a gloomy face and handed over all the evidence and confession of Jiang Hui's case to him.

"It is easy to break when you are young. Brother, I still want to advise you today that if you are in the vortex of the tide, you don't have to stick to the rules. Protect yourself, so that you can realize your ambition of a peaceful world in the future."

Xu Lingyun glanced at him indifferently, with a cold and distant attitude, "Master Zhao, please do whatever you want. I'm sorry to trouble you to take care of my affairs."

"That's right." Lord Zhao lowered his eyelashes to hide the bitterness in his eyes, "You and I are different after all."

"gone."

He patted Xu Lingyun on the shoulder, turned around and walked out with his men.

Xu Lingyun was wheezing through his nose as he looked at Zhao Qingming's back, his eyes full of disappointment.

People's hearts will eventually change.

In late spring, drizzles fell across the capital, continuous and dense, like the endless sorrow in the hearts of all living beings.

Today is the day when Bai Luochuan's exam results are announced. All his hard work in those days has paid off and Bai Luochuan has lived up to everyone's expectations and passed the exam to become a scholar.

In the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, everyone looked gloomy.

Bai Luochuan did not share the scholar's joy at all. He stood in his sister's yard with a worried look on his face, waiting for news from the people inside.

"Squeak!"

The person in the room finally opened the door, and the old lady lifted her numb legs and walked over.

"Doctor Pang, how is it?"

"The hidden arrow has been pulled out. The rest depends on whether the fever can be relieved tonight."

Doctor Pang was old and had not rested for half a day that night. The old lady quickly ordered someone to send him to the side room so that he could have a good rest.

The butler came quickly from outside, followed by a ragged man.

"Who is this person?"

The stinky, sour smell went straight into their noses, and everyone else couldn't help but take a step back.

Sun stood there, without changing his expression, and asked, "Who is this?"
