Rebirth of the Princess She is weird

Yuan Fuge followed closely and asked: "How are you?"

"This head is in your hands. You can take it anytime you want!"

His righteous words moved people, but that was not what she wanted. Yuan Fuge walked up to him, took a deep breath through the wooden pillar, and said, "What I want is the news about the person behind you. I want you to work for me wholeheartedly in the future. Are you willing to do that?"

In the face of family and power, he chose family first. He wanted power only to make his father's restaurant business better, but someone wanted to make it harder for him, so there was no need for him to continue. When the power slipped away, no one was willing to lend a hand to support him. Only Helian Shenwan was a driftwood by his side. And he could do what he wanted.

Humans are animals that seek benefits and avoid harm. They will try their best to fight for anything that is good for them. He Yunyan said without hesitation: "I do!"

Yuan Fuge asked again: "Even if what I did violates moral principles?"

He Yunyan knelt down and swore without hesitation, "Once I become your servant, I will not ask about the past, and will only help you to rise to power."

"I hope you mean it this time."

The lattice window was half-open. The morning light was dim. The morning sun was shining brightly on the window frame, casting the shadow of the osmanthus tree outside into the house. Yu Cong, dressed in a red official uniform, was sleeping very uneasily at the desk.

The fourth prince twirled the jade ring on his hand and walked in leisurely: "Your Excellency the Imperial Envoy, you have worked hard. I am here to see you on behalf of my father." Many bonsai pots also came with him.

Seeing the dark circles under his eyes, the Fourth Prince glanced at the files on the case and asked, "You didn't sleep all night, did you?"

"Greetings to the Fourth Prince!" Yu Cong bowed immediately after seeing that the visitor was completely sober.

"No need to be polite in front of me," he handed a bowl of refreshing tea to Yu Cong, "Your Excellency the Imperial Envoy has worked hard, this is for you."

Yu Cong took the tea bowl and glanced at him. He was wearing a plain robe and a common headdress, but his eyes were sharp and the mole at the corner of his eye was particularly conspicuous. He emphasized that he was traveling incognito, wearing ordinary clothes, but the accessories he wore reflected his extraordinaryness. He probably came for Shen Que, right? He lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you, Fourth Prince."

"Today is the day for interrogation, right?" The fourth prince walked around, checking the room for any abnormalities.

"Yes."

"Ah~ You've worked hard, sir." He raised his hand, and the people behind him put the potted plants on the table. The flowers and plants exuded fragrance. The fourth prince said, "I got this yesterday for the imperial envoy to calm his mind."

Yu Cong stepped forward and wanted to touch it with his hand curiously, but the Fourth Prince stopped him, "Hey, Your Excellency, slow down. I think it's made of paper and silk, and contains a lot of soothing herbs."

Yu Cong relaxed his brows and felt refreshed. "It is indeed a work of art that surpasses all others. I didn't even notice it."

"Yes, this kind of thing can only be found in Jiangnan. Jiangnan is really the granary of the country and a place where talents are born in large numbers. If Jiangnan is gone, Yuanzhao will lose a lot of its color."

Yu Cong thought about what he said and looked at him, "I don't understand, please enlighten me, Fourth Prince."

The fourth prince twirled his jade ring and said, "This imperial examination in Jiangnan has dealt a heavy blow to the morale of the people. They are like these bonsai trees. The more delicate they are, the less they can withstand the tossing. If they are hit again, they will inevitably decay."

Yu Cong extended his hand and asked him to sit down, "Fourth Prince, please continue."

"The main culprit in this imperial examination case has been found. It's like a rotten melon among a pile of melons. As long as this melon is picked out, the rest of the melons can be sold. If we continue to investigate, I'm afraid that the scholars will have no trust in the court and will ruin my father's wisdom. Besides, these scholars have already made trouble, and we must give them an explanation. I believe that the imperial envoy knows how to balance the interests involved."

This matter is related to the original intention of the emperor to hold the imperial examination, and it is related to the court and even the fate of Yuanzhao country. This matter needs to be carefully considered.

At noon, the person was brought to the court.

Everyone in the audience had a different look on their face, and no one knew what they were thinking.

After Lu Yanxiu yelled, he brought He Wanru up. The woman had no way to wash herself in prison, so a few strands of hair slipped out of her cheeks, and her pale face turned pale due to the cold. But fortunately, the jailers did not embarrass her too much, so He Wanru was able to be decent. She knelt down and said, "I, He Wanru, pay my respects to the Imperial Envoy."

Yu Cong stroked the gavel, stern and impartial, and said sternly: "He Wanru, this girl from Hualou said that you knew about Xun Fuhou bribing the examiner. Is that true?"

"Yes!" He Wanru took a deep breath, glanced at the corrupt candidate on the list, and said, "I have indeed seen him. Xun Fuhou did tell me that day that he was going to buy an official position."

Shi Song, who was sitting below, retorted: "Then why did you pretend to be a man and go to the brothel?"

This is the county magistrate who has been eating and drinking for free in her restaurant for a long time. She can see the fat on his body at a glance.

He Wanru said calmly, "My brother and Xun Fuhou are poetry friends. I saw him in the brothel that day and felt it was strange so I went to urge him. The brothel only allowed men to enter, so I went to the brothel to remind him."

Xun Fuhou spread his hands, extremely aggrieved, and tried to reason with him: "My Lord, she has no evidence and is slandering me. It was clearly a handsome scholar that day, how could he turn into a slender girl?"

Lu Xiangshan concluded, "Yes, Your Excellency, they have nothing to prove now, and this Miss He is also a criminal, so how can this be considered evidence?

"Then what the Minister means is that I am not worthy of testifying in this court and am only worthy of waiting to die?"

The girl in the brothel over there was shocked, and thinking about howling for her yesterday, she felt it was worth it.

Shen Que clapped his hands and asked, "What about the evidence? In our dynasty, we always pay attention to the word 'evidence' when handling cases. How can you convince people with nothing but empty words?"

He Wanru choked when asked, "I..."

Xun Fuhou gloated beside him: "You are at your wit's end!"

"Who said there is no evidence?"

A shrill voice came into the hall. Yuan Fuge came uninvited, bringing He Yunyan with him, following Lu Yanxiu.

Yu Cong looked carefully and saw that the short boy in the breeze had changed into a clean robe and a neat bun that covered his hair meticulously. Looking closely at her face, it seemed to be a little paler than before she confessed her crime, and her demeanor seemed to be similar to that of an old friend.

He looked at Yuan Fuge and said, "Helian Shenwan, aren't you still in prison? You can't go to court without being summoned. Don't you know that?"

Yuan Fuge bowed and smiled, "I don't need to, but Mr. He behind me is worried that my sister will be bullied. He said he has a new discovery and wants to show it to you."

The way he smiled made it difficult for Yu Chong to start.

He swallowed, looked at him and said, "Please speak."

Yuan Fuge glanced at Shen Que and sneered, "Your Excellency will have to take everyone in the court and follow Mr. He to Wanchun Tower."

"Why?"

Lu Yanxiu held the hilt of the knife and said seriously, "Of course it's to prevent someone from running away."

Looking at the two of them standing together, Yu Cong remembered that He Yunyan said they were gay last night, and he felt embarrassed. He sneered, "Bo Tang is right. Since He Xiucai has new evidence, why don't we follow him?"

"Why? Are we just going to follow this fugitive?" Shi Song was indignant and turned his back on them.

In fact, he was extremely guilty. All the evidence of his buying and selling official positions was in it. Wanchunlou was his shop for selling stolen goods. If it was discovered, the consequences would be disastrous.

He turned to Shen Que and looked for help, "Prime Minister, can you say something?"

"Ahem... Yeah, how can we follow a fugitive? What if they escape along the way?"

The Grand Tutor, who had been silent for a long time, said in a deep voice: "The Prime Minister just said that there must be evidence. Now that there is evidence, you are all here to make excuses. Could it be that Wanchun Tower has some unspeakable secrets?"

Shen Que sat back and said awkwardly, "Taifu, please don't come after me. I have been accompanying the Fourth Prince to travel around Jiangnan these past few days, haven't I?"

Yuan Fuge exchanged glances with his grandfather, raised his eyes and smiled: "If you are not guilty, then the Prime Minister will send more people to follow us to take a look."

Shen Que's Adam's apple moved, and he adjusted his collar unnaturally, and said reluctantly: "Just look, what's the big deal!"
