Chapter 83: The Jade Pendant
Zhou Chang's mind was boiling, and he couldn't stop: "Father, I can't waste even a quarter of an hour."
As he spoke, he took out two letters from his sleeves and presented them with both hands.
The eunuch on duty watched the emperor's face, wondering whether to take it.
Emperor Lin's expression became increasingly ugly. He forced himself not to get angry and nodded.
The eunuch then handed the two pieces of paper in Zhou Chang's hand over to him.
Emperor Lin did not take it, but signaled with his eyes to put it on the imperial desk.
"I understand. Prince Yi, please go down first. I will deal with it later when I have time." The emperor obviously had no intention of taking a look.
Zhou Chang came here, thinking that he was appealing for justice for the Yuan family in front of the emperor, and he also put on an attitude of filing a complaint with the emperor, but he was dismissed with just a few words.
Thinking of this, Prince Yi Fengming's body also became excited and his heartbeat was like a drum.
Zhou Chang needed to take a deep breath to finish his words: "Father, the case of the Minister of Revenue Minhang collaborating with the enemy and treason some time ago involved the Long Yuyuan family helping to purchase and transport kabuki in the southwest. Those kabuki were specifically purchased by Minhang in order to win over the officials in the court and to give them as gifts."
Emperor Lin did not answer, obviously not in the mood to listen.
Zhou Chang was completely unaware and focused on finishing his words: "The Yuan family bought the Kabuki on behalf of Minhang, and even the idea of which school to buy it from was proposed by Minhang. No one expected that there would be spies from the Mirage Kingdom mixed in. The Ministry of Justice has verified the Yuan family's associates involved in the case one by one, and they have nothing to do with the case. The head of the Yuan family did not show up at all, and only helped because of his personal relationship with Minhang. He has nothing to do with the Mirage Kingdom. These letters are nothing, and the most favorable evidence is in the Ministry of Justice. However, the Minister of Justice still sentenced Yuan Yu to death. It is really a great injustice. Your Majesty, please be fair."
Emperor Lin suppressed his inner irritation and listened to the end. For the sake of the emperor's majesty, he just nodded calmly: "I already know, Prince Yi, please leave first."
Zhou Chang was still very emotional: "How is Father going to deal with this? Shouldn't the Ministry of Justice conduct a retrial?"
There was a "pop..." sound.
The Emperor could no longer suppress his anger: "Prince Yi, don't push your luck. I order you to leave."
In the past, he would not have listened to Prince Yi to the end. The reason he was patient was that he was thinking about what Concubine Rui Shen Rui had told him a few days ago.
Zhou Chang's heart trembled, but Prince Yi stood still and showed no fear.
At this moment, an eunuch outside reported: "Your Majesty, the Minister of War, Mr. Peng, has arrived."
"Father, human life is at stake, you..." Zhou Chang forced himself to speak again.
"boom……"
Emperor Lin finally exploded, slapped the imperial desk with his palm, and said fiercely: "Prince Yi, step down, otherwise I will issue an order right now to chop off the person you mentioned."
Zhou Chang felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave and couldn't breathe.
She had been planning this all along, and originally thought that the most effective way would be to meet the emperor and state her case in person. However, she did not expect that the matter would be ended with just one sentence from the other party.
Zhou Chang forced herself to think of a solution quickly. She had promised Yuan Qi, but she was not thinking at all.
While I was stunned, my body had already walked out involuntarily, and seemed to pass by a tall figure.
When he looked up again, he was already standing outside the imperial study.
The door of the imperial study slammed shut behind him.
"Your Highness, have you finished your work?" The skinny monkey came forward.
Zhou Chang looked depressed and distraught, and just walked out mechanically.
The skinny monkey wanted to ask more questions, but when he saw that his prince looked unhappy, he had to keep silent for the time being.
Zhou Chang walked along the long corridor lined with red walls, which seemed to have no end at all.
Before I knew it, I turned a corner and walked out of Donghua Gate.
Zhou Chang tried to be alert, as Yuan Qi was still waiting outside.
The coachman saw Prince Yi leaving the palace from a distance and immediately reported to the dark red and silver gauze carriage.
Yuan Qi hurriedly got off the carriage and came to greet him.
Zhou Chang was too ashamed to face it, so he closed his eyes and felt sad.
Yuan Qi understood instantly, and the light of hope in his eyes also extinguished.
"I'll think of another way." Zhou Chang tried to force a smile, but failed.
Yuan Qi also pulled the corners of his mouth, laughing and crying into one effect: "In any case, thank you, Your Highness Prince Yi."
I don't hold out hope, but I still bow deeply.
"I will think of a way, and I will have another chance to meet you soon." Zhou Chang clenched his fist.
In the past, Yuan Qi’s affairs were just other people’s affairs.
The price she has paid now is not small, and she has long regarded this matter as her own.
Yuan Qi looked up in surprise, not knowing why Prince Yi was helping her so much, but she was inspired to fight: "Your Highness Prince Yi is so concerned about my father, I must not be discouraged, I will definitely help you with all my strength."
The two looked at each other and inexplicably encouraged each other.
Zhou Chang went all the way back to the palace and all the way back to the back hall.
After sending everyone away, he threw himself onto the big bed in the bedroom, ready to get ready and think hard about what to do next.
Thinking about it makes my head splitting and my mind dizzy, but there is no result.
When I raised my eyes, I saw a touch of crimson on the Eight Immortals Table not far away.
Yesterday, in front of Prince Duan's mansion, Zhou Chang left in a hurry. After getting on the carriage, he found that Yuan Qi's precious jade pendant was still in her hand.
Zhou Chang took the opportunity to take a closer look.
The color of the jade pendant is even and natural all over, but there is a strange pattern on the back that is impossible to tell what it is.
I half guessed that the four big characters on the front should be "合抱连枝".
Because the jade pendant was broken into two halves, the four characters were separated into two halves, becoming "联合" and "枝抱".
This was Yuan Qi's most important personal belonging, but she forgot to return it to her when she left the house in the morning.
Zhou Chang took the jade pendant, held it in his hand to examine it, then lay back on the bed.
I met Yuan Qi twice today, but I didn't hear her mention it.
It can be seen that no matter how precious something is in this world, it cannot compare to family affection.
But this kind of family affection probably only exists in some individual families. From the situation of Emperor Lin today, we can see that Concubine Rui’s “work” was in vain. At least it is certain that Emperor Lin’s family affection is indifferent.
The old man now only wants to win a battle so that he can leave a mark in his "merit book" after his death.
Ok?
Whose opinion is this?
Zhou Chang wondered, was it hers or Prince Yi Fengming's?
No matter whose it is, if you want the emperor to do something, you should also cater to his preferences.
Zhou Chang suddenly grasped the idea. She knew what the emperor's urgent battle report from eight hundred miles away in the imperial study today was.
Lin State and Shen State, the three states in northern Vietnam, a battleground, peace talks, reinforcements...
Many confusing memories intertwined, not just Prince Yi, but also those of his past identities...
She seemed to have heard it somewhere, thought about it, or had an impression of it in her memory.
Isn’t the ruler of Mirage Country already critically ill?
Can't it hold out for much longer?
These should be what she heard that time when she was still the national zither player Xiao Lan, under a rockery with a pavilion in the imperial garden of the palace.
She didn't take it seriously at the time, but now it suddenly gave her inspiration.
If the ruler of the Mirage Kingdom dies, the Lin Kingdom will surely win.
So what is Emperor Lin worried about?
Zhou Chang's mind was full of sparks, and he came up with a brilliant idea. "The bed is not a bed, it's a paradise for rotten things."
