"Sir, the Duke is not at home. After asking other people, they all said that Chen Xiangyuan has been living in Xiufang recently and has not returned home. We went to Xiufang again and found that Chen Xiangyuan had left Shengjing City for many days. He said he was visiting an old friend. ”

"This is impossible!" The prime minister stood up excitedly.

The official was not moved, but brought in a shadow puppet of the same size as Chen Xiangyuan from outside. The bottom was fixed with special wood and tied with transparent silk threads. It was indistinguishable when viewed through the window.

The prime minister panicked.

Song Tingran struck while the iron was hot and said: "Sir Jingzhao Yin, the Prime Minister's crime is very heartbreaking. He is still here unjustly accusing a dead hero of collaborating with the enemy. Please judge."

Jing Zhaoyin hummed.

"Prime Minister, this matter is of great importance. I will report it to the empress. I'm afraid you will have to stay with me today." Jing Zhaoyin said.

"I don't accept why Chen Xiangyuan made such a shadow puppet in the embroidery workshop. This is completely premeditated!"

Chen Xiangyuan has resumed his masculine appearance, and he doesn't care about anything for the sake of justice.

"Sir, I am a man. It is inconvenient to travel alone, and I don't want many people to follow me, so I made a shadow puppet like this so that my family will not know that I went to Daniu Village."

The Prime Minister's hands shook with anger, "You, you, you, a young man who has not yet left the imperial court, went to such a far place, still lived in Song Tingran's house, and brought so many secret guards with you, you dare to say that you did not deliberately set up the appearance." Compared to me!”

"Prime Minister, be careful. This secret guard was left by my sister. I took it with me to protect me when I went out. Fortunately, I took it with me. Otherwise, Song Tingran and I would have been taken away by your people. Are we still alive today?" This is all the same thing.”

The prime minister could no longer say a word, which at most meant that Chen Xiangyuan's reputation was gone, and it was not her business.

Jing Zhaoyin ordered people to take the prime minister down, and she had to hurry up and go to the palace.

"Who dares to touch me? I am the prime minister!"

"This is Jing Zhaoyin. It's the same no matter who comes. Please forgive me, Prime Minister, and don't embarrass me."

The prime minister sat here, and her people were also on guard. For a moment, no one dared to touch her.

An inconspicuous person who came with Chen Yuekui stood up.

"Master Jing Zhaoyin, thank you for your hard work. I am the empress's aunt. I came here specifically to listen. Every word and deed here will be reported to the empress truthfully. Sir, please."

The prime minister was dumbfounded. He grabbed the aunt's arm, pulled her away immediately, and took her directly to the prison.

In this way, if the prime minister still refuses to obey the arrangement, he is really going against the court.

After the prime minister left, Chen Yuekui had to go to the palace. After all, she invited this person.

"Brother Xiangyuan, sister Ran, you go to the house first, everything has been arranged."

"Okay, be careful."

Chen Yuekui knew it was not the time to reminisce, so she took her people away, and her people also took Chen Xiangyuan and Song Tingran back to the house.

The others were also brought back, and the witnesses also settled in a nearby inn and were still protected.

Song Tingran was familiar with this house as soon as he entered it. After all, he had been here before and it had not changed much.

It's just that now he comes with injuries, which is different from the past.

The servants gave Song Tingran medicine, and the injury was not too serious.

"Miss Song, do you feel better after taking the medicine?"

There was a table full of delicious food and rice. Chen Xiangyuan had been waiting for her to come. There was a goose down cushion on her seat.

"It's okay. This medicine is really good. I feel so relieved when I put it on."

Song Tingran sat down, stood up again, and said awkwardly: "I'd better eat standing up."

"it is good."

They had not eaten well in the prison, and now they had been hungry all day, so the two of them devoured the food.

It was almost dark outside, and Chen Yuekui hadn't come back yet.

"Miss Song, thank you for the twenty pieces today. I should have been the one to bear them."

"Originally, the Prime Minister also wanted to harm me. I'm in good health, so it doesn't matter. But I was a little curious. I thought I would be disabled or unable to get out of bed for a month. Why didn't it feel as powerful as it sounds? I've seen a wooden board in Pingan Town before. It’s much more powerful than this.”

Chen Xiangyuan smiled and put down his chopsticks. Take a drink of water.

"You don't feel any pain?"

"No, I'm just curious. This Jingzhao Yin Mansion looks scary. I thought the punishment would be more severe."

"The 20 boards for the people to accuse the officials are to hit the people in advance. Jing Zhaoyin will ask the executioner to relax his grip a little. If it is finally found that the people are falsely accusing him, then don't say 20, you will get 10 boards. I can’t get out of bed.”

Song Tingran exclaimed, "Master Jing Zhaoyin is such a good official. In this way, most people will dare to tell the truth."

"It's natural. If you eat more, Xiaokui will be back soon."

The whole night, the two of them waited here. They were too sleepy and tired, so they rested on the side for a while, but did not go back to the house to sleep.

Last night's dinner had been put away, and breakfast was served, which was still rich.

"Chen Xiangyuan, Xiaokui didn't come back all night. I'm worried, can we go to the palace?"

Chen Xiangyuan was also worried, but he was not qualified to go. Even if Song Tingran had the blessing token and was not summoned, he couldn't get in.

"Let's do this, Miss Song. After breakfast, I will go back to the Duke's Mansion to investigate the situation. Mother will definitely have news about such a big matter."

"Okay, I'll go with you and wait for you at the door."

The two of them ate in a hurry and set off. Two large stone lions were majestic and majestic at the entrance of the Duke's Mansion.

When Chen Xiangyuan went in, Song Tingran didn't stand at the door, but waited on the side. She couldn't be interested in the excitement on the street.

"Yesterday, I seemed to see the miracle doctor who saved me before." One beggar said to another beggar.

"Really? Don't they all say that the miracle doctor is traveling around?"

"Maybe he's back again? The miracle doctor has a weird personality, and I can't tell for sure. Let's go, the benevolent people from the Duke's Mansion will be serving food from the small door again in a while."

Two beggars passed by in a hurry. After many months, Song Tingran heard about the rumored miracle doctor again, but he didn't have the energy to ask now.

After a long time, Chen Xiangyuan ran out of the Duke's mansion. His cheeks were red and swollen, and his fingerprints were clear.

"Why are you still being beaten?" Song Tingran asked with concern.

"Go back and talk."

After returning to Chen Yuekui's house, Chen Xiangyuan relaxed slightly and applied the medicine. I'm afraid it would take seven or eight days.

"Miss Song, I've made you laugh."

"It's okay. Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. Not to mention your government, it's good to be able to survive."

Song Tingran just wanted to comfort him, but also realized that these words were inappropriate, and quickly said: "That's not what I meant. What I meant was that everything will get better in the future."

"It's okay. After I went back, my eldest father came to find me. He said that I had corrupted the family tradition and beat me. Then he told me that my mother went to the palace last night and never returned home."
