After my soul traveled to ancient times, I don't want to be cannon fodder

Upon hearing this, the adults who had been stiffening their necks and shouting that they were innocent suddenly froze. But when they heard the irrefutable evidence, they knew they had no way out.

But when he asked them to sign, he couldn't help but say indignantly: "I am unwilling to accept this! I was clearly invited by His Royal Highness Prince An, so why do I have to pay for it in the end? Those children were not abducted by me..."

"Why, why......"

One of the old ministers knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, covering his face with his sleeves, as if he had suffered infinite injustice.

But in fact, they never felt any regret, but just hated Princess Yu Zhaohua for being so nosy!

Why don't you just be a princess? Why do you have to do this for a bunch of lowly people?

They are just a bunch of untouchables, why should they sacrifice their lives?

Although some of them did not actually kill anyone, His Majesty's decree made it very clear that all officials involved in this matter must pay the price.

At the very least, you will be downgraded...

In serious cases, the punishment may be exile thousands of miles away.

Like Prince An and his son, those who have killed people will be beheaded in public.

How ridiculous! How ridiculous!

It is ridiculous that in Dayong, there would be officials who were willing to sacrifice their lives for the so-called civilians.

At the same time, in front of the gate of Princess Zhaohua's mansion where Zhong Ning was, one young lady after another from an official family knelt there.

They all came to plead for their father.

Although they had read the newspapers and probably understood the whole story, when the butcher's knife was really about to fall on their heads, they could not accept it in any way.

They are able to become the glorious daughters of Beijing officials only because of their fathers who are officials in the court. But if their fathers are punished, what will happen to their future?

"Your Highness, please have mercy on me! My father has been a clean man all his life, why would he do such a thing? There must be some misunderstanding here, Your Highness..." The one kneeling in the front row was Cui Rushuang, the daughter of Cui Jin, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

By the way, this Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was caught red-handed by Zhong Ning when he was surrounded by beauties. According to the list of his contacts later on, he not only often frequented this place, but also had at least three deaths on his hands.

Two girls and a little boy.

This Lord Cui had so many tricks up his sleeve that he wanted to try everything. He was extremely ruthless, so many lives had been lost at his hands.

But such a man has a beautiful daughter kneeling here to complain to him.

Several other young ladies from official families also knelt on the ground and cried bitterly, but none of them were as relaxed as Miss Cui.

With a creaky sound, the door of the princess's mansion opened.

Lady Ruan came out from the mansion with several attendants.

Cui Rushuang's eyes lit up, and she immediately knelt and rushed over: "Sir, please inform her that Cui Rushuang, the daughter of Cui Jin, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, requests an audience with Her Royal Highness the Princess!"

Lady Ruan had received instructions from Zhong Ning long ago and came out to manage these young ladies from official families. After all, because these young ladies from official families were kneeling here, there were quite a few people watching.

If not handled properly, it can easily cause controversy!

Lady Ruan looked at Cui Rushuang, whose eyes were filled with tears and whose features were delicate and pretty, and said gently, "I was wondering who she was. It turns out to be the daughter of Master Cui!"

Lady Ruan took two steps toward the center of the field outside the palace gate and said loudly:

"You may not know that when our Highness led his troops into Fang Garden, Miss Cui's father, Lord Cui, had just been forcibly dragged out of his boudoir by the Imperial Guards."

"According to those who were present at the time, this Lord Cui ordered two women by himself. He was embracing them, both of them tender and beautiful. When he was pulled out, his face was flushed and his clothes were disheveled..."

"If the imperial guards hadn't been quick enough to throw his clothes out in time, I'm afraid the eyes of everyone present would have been stained."

"Master Cui's great achievements are witnessed by all present. I wonder why Miss Cui is speaking up for your father?"

Cui Rushuang's face showed humiliation. She only knew that her father was involved in the case, but she never expected that he would be caught while seeking pleasure!

What should she do?

Just as they were feeling awkward, a voice suddenly came from behind the crowd: "Quickly move aside, the eldest daughter of the Zhao family is here!"

When everyone heard this, they looked back and saw a luxurious carriage slowly approaching.

When they arrived outside the princess's mansion, the carriage just stopped. Two maids jumped out of the carriage first, put out the stool for getting out, and then a tender, white and slender hand stretched out from the carriage.

The jade-green dress was embroidered with large patches of jasmine, which made the girl's figure more graceful and elegant.

With a hiss, everyone gasped. It turned out that this was a real noble lady, with fair skin, beautiful face, delicate eyebrows and eyes. Just standing there, people could feel her elegance and charm.

The visitor was Zhao Chushan, the daughter of the Minister of Justice Zhao Yingpu.

A hint of jealousy flashed in Cui Rushuang's eyes. Just as she was about to speak, Zhao Chushan suddenly quickened her pace and walked over. She bowed gently to Lady Ruan and said, "Madam Ruan, I'm honored to be here. I wonder if Her Royal Highness the Princess is at home?"

Lady Ruan was secretly satisfied. It was rare to see a young lady from a wealthy family who was truly polite. She was much more sensible than these girls who only knew how to throw tantrums.

Lady Ruan's voice softened as she replied, "Your Highness is busy and cannot see guests!"

Zhao Chushan bit her lip slightly, a hint of anxiety between her brows. She then pulled out an envelope from her sleeve and handed it over. "This is a letter my father asked me to present to Her Royal Highness the Princess. It's of great importance. Madam Ruan, please bear with me!"

Lady Ruan took the letter and said, "Miss Zhao, please wait a moment!"

After saying that, Lady Ruan brought her people back to the princess's mansion.

After Lady Ruan entered the mansion, the vermilion door slammed shut in front of everyone.

All the women looked indignant, especially Cui Rushuang. Before Zhao Chushan came, that Lady Ruan was so cold and indifferent that she didn't give any face to their request to meet the princess.

But when Zhao Chushan arrived, not only did she speak in a gentle tone, she also helped deliver the letter.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Cui Rushuang suddenly stood up and yelled at Zhao Chushan, "Miss Zhao is so proud of herself that she's waving it in front of us. How come? We all came together to ask for an audience, but you only gave face to a bitch like you. I don't know what tricks you used..."

Another young girl beside her also stood up and said angrily, "Zhao Chushan, don't be so proud!"

Zhao Chushan's expression remained unchanged as she simply said, "Everyone, we are all here for the safety of our families. We should be united in purpose and shouldn't be like this!"

"Who wants to share the same ideals with you?" Cui Rushuang said angrily.

Zhao Chushan glanced at her calmly and said, "Indeed, the family tradition of Lord Cui is something that my Zhao family cannot compare with!"

"You..." Cui Rushuang was so angry that she wanted to pounce on the bitch and slap her, but at this moment, the door of the princess's mansion opened again.

(The data is not very good, I want to finish it early)

(However, Fang Ping said they hadn't returned to the modern era yet, Gu Mingzhe said he hadn't had his wedding night yet, Qi Yu said he hadn't won the princess's heart yet, and Shen Yan said his cousin's wish hadn't been fulfilled yet...)

(Zhong Ning said, she has not yet unified the world...)
