My Fair Princess: The Queen's Rebirth

Chapter 242 Act as planned

Erkang saw the Censor leaving in a hurry.

It is inevitable that there is some anger in my heart.

Because just now in the hall the two of them had an argument about court matters.

Erkang walked quickly to Ertai, Xiaoyanzi, Ziwei and the others. Then he looked at Ertai and said unhappily, "What's wrong with this old guy? He ran away so fast when he saw me coming. What's the matter? Is he afraid that I will eat him?"

Ertai pursed his lips and said, "He's afraid that we will pester him. Let me tell you, this old guy actually imprisoned Xinrong in order to prevent her from entering the palace to find Yongqi. I never thought he could do such a ruthless thing."

"What?" Erkang shook his head in disbelief. "He's really getting more and more confused."

"Well, isn't it?"

Ertai nodded.

Erkang continued to complain, "Do you know that he and I just had an argument in the court... Never mind, I won't say anymore. You just said that he locked Xinrong up, so what are you going to do next? Have you thought of a countermeasure?"

After Ziwei heard Erkang's words.

He quickly and anxiously grabbed Erkang's arm.

She frowned and looked at Erkang and said, "Just now we made up an excuse to go to the Censorate to find Xinrong, but he just turned around and ran away."

"That's right." Xiaoyanzi added, "Do you think we should tell the Emperor and Empress about this and ask them to come forward and resolve this matter?"

After Xiaoyanzi finished speaking.

Erkang Ertai and Ziwei shook their heads repeatedly and said in unison, "No, absolutely not."

Xiaoyanzi was surprised when she heard this. "Why not? It's better to let the Emperor and Empress solve it than us."

"That's surprising."

Erkang's expression suddenly became serious.

He turned and looked at Ertai and Ziwei.

He then looked at Xiaoyanzi and analyzed the matter carefully. "Xiaoyanzi, this is ultimately their family affair. As the saying goes, even a judge can hardly judge family affairs. And yet you're asking the Emperor and Empress to personally resolve it. Isn't that... And in the end, do you think the Censor will listen or not?"

The voice just fell.

After listening to Erkang's analysis, Xiaoyanzi suddenly understood.

What's more, if this matter is handled well, it would be good. If it is not handled well, it will create a rift between the Censor and the Emperor.

Xiaoyanzi looked at them and continued, "So what are you going to do? We can't let him keep Xinrong locked up in the room forever, and the Imperial Censor's wife said that the old man wants to find a husband for Xinrong."

Ertai walked back and forth with a frown on his face.

But at this time.

Ertai suddenly clapped his hands and then waved to everyone mysteriously, "Come around quickly, I have a good idea."

Xiaoyanzi and Ziwei looked at each other.

Xiaoyanzi was getting a little impatient. "Ertai, just say what you want to say. Why are you keeping me in suspense?"

"Hey, Xiaoyanzi, don't be so anxious." Ziwei pulled Xiaoyanzi over to Ertai, then looked at Ertai and said, "Ertai, tell me what solution you have come up with."

……

at night.

Censorate.

The Imperial Censor's wife kept muttering, "Master, when will you let Xinrong out? You've already locked her up for a whole day and night."

The censor completely ignored his wife.

He sat alone in his seat, savoring the tea that his eldest son had sent him that morning.

"Master, you're just drinking tea." The Imperial Censor's wife snatched the teacup from her master's hand and asked, "Do you hear what I'm saying?"

Seeing her like this, the Imperial Censor said, "No matter what you say, I will not release Xinrong. I have already found several good men for her. When the time comes, she can choose the one that suits her."

After hearing this, the censor's wife almost fainted on the spot.

She looked at her master and said, "Master, you are pushing Xinrong into the fire pit. You know your daughter's temper. If she loses her temper one day... I'm really afraid that we may not see her again from now on."

As soon as she finished speaking.

The censor slammed the table heavily.

The wife of the censor jumped up in fright. She slowly turned around and found that her master was looking at her with a serious expression.

The Imperial Censor's wife whispered, "Master, I'm just worried about my daughter. She's never suffered such injustice since she was little. Don't you think about the fact that you slapped her twice as soon as you got back yesterday... Didn't you see that her face was swollen?"

After hearing this, the Censor suddenly stood up from his seat and then walked quickly towards Xinrong's room.

The censor's wife followed closely behind.

When the two of them arrived at the door of Xinrong's room.

But I heard Xinrong crying in the room.

When Ah Fu and Lai Bao saw the master and his wife coming, they were about to speak.

The censor looked at the two of them and asked, "How long has the princess been crying in there?"

Ah Fu and Lai Bao exchanged a glance, and Lai Bao quickly replied, "In reply to Master, the princess has been crying intermittently since last night..."

"What?" The Censor's wife's heart tightened slightly after hearing this. Then, without waiting for her master to speak, she pushed the door open and walked in. "Xinrong, why are you so stupid? Why are you so hard on yourself?"

Xinrong raised his head and immediately threw himself into his mother's arms.

The Imperial Censor's wife continued distressedly, "Good boy, please admit your fault to your father."

After hearing this, Xinrong quickly shook his head and replied, "No, I don't admit my mistake. I'm not wrong. What's wrong with me liking the Fifth Prince? Is it just because he's a prince, Prince Rong?"

The censor took a deep breath after hearing his daughter's words.

He walked into the room and came to Xinrong's side and looked at his daughter, "Xinrong, how can you figure it out? The Fifth Prince is a prince, Prince Rong."

When he said this, the censor's voice suddenly lowered a lot.

At this moment.

He turned and closed the door.

Then he came to Xinrong again and said, "You and the Fifth Prince are not worthy, don't you know? Moreover, do you know that the Fifth Prince has already been designated as the future Crown Prince? His future is immeasurable. What benefits can our family bring to the Fifth Prince?"

Xinrong and the Censor's Wife opened their mouths after hearing this.

I didn't know how to refute it for a moment.

Xinrong thought for a moment and then looked at her father with a look of grievance. "Father, you yourself said that the Fifth Prince is only the designated future Crown Prince, but the Emperor hasn't issued an edict to officially appoint the Fifth Prince as Crown Prince yet?"

After saying this.

The censor couldn't help but raise his right hand again and hit Xinrong in the face.

However, just as it was about to fall.

The wife of the censor went up and grabbed her master's hand.

She fell to her knees and pleaded, "Master, is there anything we can't just talk about peacefully? Why did you have to resort to violence? If you had really slapped me like that, I'm afraid our daughter would have really left us..."

"Get out of my way!" the censor shouted. "Look at your daughter... She's so stubborn now. You've spoiled her after all."

The Imperial Censor's wife continued kneeling on the ground, "Master, in the final analysis, this is all my fault. But no matter what, this is your own daughter. How could you be so cruel as to do this to her?"

The censor saw this scene.

He sighed deeply again.

He glanced at the sobbing figure kneeling on the ground, then looked at Xinrong. "In that case, I won't wait for you to figure it out. I'll choose a suitable husband for you, and then tomorrow I'll have a matchmaker come to your house to propose marriage. As long as he's willing, I'll finalize the marriage and choose an auspicious date to marry you off."

Xinrong almost fainted from his seat after hearing this.

Xiaohua, who was standing by, quickly supported Gege.

After the censor left, he looked at Ah Fu and Lai Bao with sharp eyes and said, "You two, lock the door tightly for me."

"Yes."

Laibao and Ah Fu answered respectfully.

After the Censor's Wife saw her master leave.

She hugged Xinrong and burst into tears, "My child, why are you so stubborn? Look at you now..."

Xinrong also started crying and suddenly asked, "Mother, what happened? Did you pass on the message?"

The Imperial Censor's wife nodded and replied, "Xinrong, I went to the Scholar's Mansion early this morning to inform Princess Ziwei. Princess Ziwei promised to tell Princess Huanzhu and the others."

"Okay, that's good." Xinrong paused after saying this, "But now it's too late. Tomorrow...tomorrow Ama will go to propose marriage for me...what if Ama just finds a husband for me casually?"

But at this time.

Erkang, Ertai, Xiao Jian and Liu Qing, the four of them had changed into night clothes and were lurking near the Censorate's Mansion according to the plan they had agreed upon.

At this moment, they were anxiously waiting for Shen Xiang and the twelfth prince to enter the Censorate smoothly.

"Twelfth Prince, we two just need to act according to the plan. You must not make any mistakes in what I just taught you, okay?" Shen Xiang was much taller than the Twelfth Prince. He bent down slightly and continued patiently, "Our mission is to delay the Censor. If that doesn't work, we can only use our ultimate move."

Yongqi nodded in confusion.
