One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

Xiao Jingran frowned and said, "What does this have to do with Huan Xi? Princess, are you framing an innocent person?"

Shen Ninghua lowered her gaze slightly before raising it and laughing out loud, "Lord Xiao, I originally thought that even if saving a life meant not repaying the favor with a drop of water, at the very least we shouldn't repay the kindness with enmity, right?"

If the person you had hurt was my Xiao family, this old man would definitely not make things difficult for the princess. This is equivalent to repaying the princess for saving her life, but Wang Wei is the only son of the Minister of Rites' Vice Minister Wang family, and this is not something this old man can do. "

"Lord Xiao is truly magnanimous."

"That's right, he is indeed a servant of the humerus."

While the surrounding officials were whispering praises and admiration, Shen Ninghua was actually mocking them by saying,

"Lord Xiao, you're wrong. The favor of saving my life isn't the treatment from last time. It's the kidnapping of Xiao Huan Xi."

"What?"

Her voice was as clear as jade, "Lord Xiao, this matter concerns Xiao Huan Xi's reputation. It is natural for you to hide something, but you shouldn't think about silencing me if you wanted to. After all, if it wasn't for me, Wang Wei would have already tainted Xiao Huan Xi.

The Minister of Rites suddenly raised his head and glared furiously at Shen Ninghua. "Princess Zhao Hua, what do you mean by this?"

Shen Ninghua smiled gently and took out Wang Wei's signature petition from her sleeve, shaking it as she passed it to Xiao Jingran, "Lord Xiao, do you want to take a look?"

Xiao Jingran looked contemptuously at Shen Ninghua and took the confession. Upon seeing the contents of the book, Zhang Xuan's complexion changed.

It clearly remembered how Xiao Huan Xi had ordered Wang Zang to frame Shen Ninghua. If this confession was in the hands of the emperor, it would be a capital offense to the princess of the imperial family.

Xiao Jingran's finger couldn't help trembling slightly. He tore the confession in his hand into pieces and turned to look at Shen Ninghua. The bloody aura surrounding him pressed down on her.

"Your Highness is really meticulous to the point that you even have a confession?"

She had faced thousands of enemies before, not to mention a person like Xiao Jingran, "There's no other way, who told me to be framed time and time again ever since I was bestowed the title of Prefecture Lord by Imperial Father. I have already gotten used to doing things and I definitely need to leave behind some evidence, what I did before, what I have now, and what I have done in the future, I will carefully collect.

Xiao Jingran fiercely gritted his teeth: "Princess, you're being considerate."

"I will be more careful in the future. Who knows, maybe some of the Lord Xiao will be able to use them." You dare to harm me? If I catch you red-handed, I'll definitely trample you under the clouds!

Xiao Jingran clenched the piece of paper tightly and turned to glare at Wang Wei, "This evil creature actually dared to harm Huan Xi. What a bastard!"

The Minister of Rites was stunned for a moment before a chill arose in his heart, "Lord Xiao, what do you mean by this?"

"What do you mean by asking? Originally, when I saw Wang Wei like this, I thought that he was being abused, but now, it seems like he completely deserves it! "

"Lord Xiao, how can you speak like that? My son is a victim in the first place!"

"Victim? Clearly, he is a perverted beast!" "Huan Xi is his cousin. He actually thought of Huan Xi. If it weren't for the princess' benevolence and righteousness, Huan Xi probably wouldn't even be alive right now."

As Xiao Jingran spoke, he lifted his robe and kneeled on the ground: "Your majesty, please forgive me. This old subject was impulsive and tore the confession into pieces. That Wang Wei was extremely daring. He took advantage of the end of the banquet to deceive Huan Xi and kidnapped her. Luckily, the princess had saved her, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable … Please make the decision, Your Majesty. "

The victim had suddenly become the culprit, and many officials in the imperial court were unable to react in time. Didn't they just say that Princess Zhao Hua had murdered Wang Wei, and that she had become the chivalrous hero in just a quarter of an hour?

With one hand on the imperial desk and the other supporting his knees, Baili Qingqing's expression was exceptionally cold, "Does this mean that Wang Wei completely deserves this crime?"

Xiao Jingran's heart trembled with anger, but he could only lower his head and accept it. He could not reveal the truth of the matter or else he would ruin Xiao Hanxi:

"Reporting to your majesty, Wang Wei did indeed deserve it."

Baili Qingyuan laughed coldly, "Heh, what a good show, huh? Which people were the happiest ones in the conversation, now do you have anything to say? "

Suddenly, someone reacted abruptly. "Your majesty, this humble subject and others have completely listened to Sir Wang's words and have not discovered the truth. Please forgive us, Your Majesty!"

When the others heard this, they immediately echoed his words. At the same time that they said they were deceived, they scolded Wang Wei, this beast in human clothing, as a dog.

A subtle smile flashed across Shen Ninghua's eyes. His gaze swept across Xiao Jingran's face and he discovered that his expression was so dark that it almost matched the depths of the pot.

Baili Qingqing's eyes narrowed into indiscernible slits as a trace of displeasure flashed through his heart: Xiao Jingran said that Wang Wei was the murderer, and these people instantly changed camp, saying that they were deceived by the Minister of Rites. Since when did Xiao Jingran have such influence in the imperial court?

The Minister of Rites' assistant minister sat blankly on the ground while clutching his chest, his face ashen. "My lords, when have I ever tried to deceive you all? My son was indeed wrongly accused. How can you all add insult to injury like this?"

"Your Royal Highness, your son has often bullied men and women. We have heard of him."

"That's right. I heard that he fought a lot for a Courtesan Belle and wine guest in the brothel a while ago. Later on, he spent quite a bit of money to settle this matter."

"Sir Wang, it's understandable that you feel sorry for your son, but you can't frame Princess Zhao Hua. The princess's heart is tied to the people, so there are many things that benefit the nation and the people. The last plague, the chicken pox, and the donation of silver taels to help treat the people.

"That's right..."

The hall was once again noisy, but this time, Shen Ninghua was the target of praise from the crowd. Listening to the praising voices coming from the crowd, Shen Ninghua sighed to himself, "Worthy of being an official, this mouth of yours can change right from wrong and wrong."

After the commotion was over, Baili Qing swept his gaze across the civil and military officials, "Minister of Rites, do you have anything else to say?"

The Vice Minister of Rites slowly kneeled down. He held his chest with even more force. He opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!

The sudden change caused the entire hall to go silent.

Chen Jun stepped forward and glanced at him, shaking his head slightly in his heart. "Reporting to your majesty, Lord Wang's burning desire has caused his bloodline to fail to return. I'm afraid he'll have to spend the rest of his life in bed."

The muscles on Baili Qing's cheek twitched, his gaze became unclear, "Did someone just say that Wang Wei was bullying men and women?"

This was the first time Shen Ninghua had seen him in his official uniform. He was dressed in a red robe with a Green Pine Immortal Crane embroidered on it, and a silver fish bag hung from his waist to symbolize his status.

"Reporting to the emperor, Xiao Huan Xi is this humble subject's younger sister. When I heard that something had happened to her, this humble subject investigated throughout the night. I didn't expect that we would actually find anything."

After passing the roll of paper to the servant, Chu Jun said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, these sheets of paper are for twenty-one copies. They are all sheets of paper by parents seeking justice for their daughters. The object of the complaint …" It's the only son of the Minister of Rites — Wang Wei! "

Lying on the ground, the Vice Minister of Rites couldn't help but widen his eyes and twitch his arms and legs.

The speed of Baili Qing Cang's flipping of the sheet of paper became faster and faster. Finally, he suddenly threw the sheet of paper in his hand towards the Main Hall, "Bastard! This is such a bastard! "

Many of those sheets of paper were written in blood. Because they were the public prosecutor, each of them had added a line of large characters at the end of the sheet. They were all willing to roll the board or use branding iron in exchange for the right to sue. Each sheet of paper bore the life of a young girl in the prime of her youth. The crimes written on it would infuriate anyone who read it.

"Please calm your anger, Your Majesty!"

"How can I quell my anger?" "I can't believe that the official in charge of the Ministry of Rites is actually a beast covered in human skin!"

Baili Qingqing's face turned dark, the aura around him turned violent, scaring all the officials present until their souls left their bodies.

If the Son of Heaven became angry, the corpse would float away for a thousand miles!

Chu Junyi stood there unaffected. She waited until Baili Qing was done before cupping her hands, "Your Majesty, the people who submitted the paper are already waiting outside the palace. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can summon them for questioning."

Baili Qing Cang sat on the Dragon Throne, the veins on the back of his vigorous hand were all exposed, "Xuan!"

More than twenty people swarmed into the hall, all of them curling up on the ground.

They lived in the lowest level of society. It could be said that they had neither dignity nor status, but for their own daughter, they had no hesitation in rolling hammers or branding iron, all so that they could see if there was still justice in this world!

Hundred Miles of Blue was burning with rage, but he didn't know how to release it. After a long while, he took out a piece of paper written with blood, "Who is this piece of paper?"

An old man kneeled down and crawled two steps forward.

"Your majesty, that piece of paper belongs to this commoner. This commoner can't write, so I have to release the blood and find a scholar to write it down for me. This commoner is useless, and my family has no savings.

Shen Ninghua's eyes moved slightly as his throat seemed to be blocked. A piece of paper that was supposed to help their murdered daughter seek justice actually had to be written by someone from the bottom of the family …

The old man was lying on his stomach, his body sticking closely to the ground. He was in the most humble position.

"Your Majesty, because the old man's daughter is beautiful, she was snatched away by the young master of the Wang family. She never came back after that." "She's going to get married soon. It's all my fault for being useless. If I wasn't so sick that I couldn't get up, I wouldn't have let my daughter go out to buy groceries. That beast would've taken a fancy to me!"

"Your majesty, this commoner is going to sue the Minister of Rites and his son. This commoner is willing to go on a roll, even if it's Dao San, he won't complain. He only wishes for my daughter to have justice. Her mother is muttering even at the end of her life, waiting for her return …"
