Doting on your wife to no end: The evil regent is reborn and is too clingy

The courtiers reacted and wanted to question him, but they charged him with another crime:

"How dare you! The Regent is still alive. Do you want the princess to commit treason and have her entire clan executed?"

If he really thought Cheng Yijin was guilty, he should have called her "deadly", but he said, "That's ridiculous!"

This is because the court officials also recognized the princess's political achievements, but they did not recognize her status as a girl, so this matter could only be absurd!

With the constant ridicule and opposition, Cheng Yijin was somewhat overwhelmed.

Wen Chuanbai, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, said calmly, "When the plague in Jizhou ended, there were signs in various places, such as golden carp appearing in dreams, red writing in fish bellies, and brocade geese leading the way. It was God's will. Are you going to go against it?"

"God's will? There is no evidence for the dream, and the brocade goose leading the way is purely coincidental. Who knows if the red letter in the fish's belly was man-made!"

If a man doesn't want to be reasonable, he can still act reasonable and make sense.

Cheng Yijin wanted to greet their ancestors, but Cheng Jingxian spoke up for his sister:

"The princess has worked hard to govern the country. She has controlled floods and reclaimed wasteland, so that farmers have their own fields and their livestock are thriving. She has promoted agriculture and supported commerce, so that residents have their own houses and have enough food and clothing. She has opened pharmacies so that the sick have their own doctors. The people live and work in peace and contentment, and the people are not hungry or cold. Who wouldn't want such a king?"

Too many of Cai Xiang's men died at once, and those that remained were very weak.

Most of the young people in the court were promoted to positions by Shen Yangui. They were all eloquent. Wen Chuanbai and Cheng Jingxian started by, and others followed suit.

"That year, Lord Ye asked about politics, and Confucius said: 'Those who are near are pleased, and those who are far away come'. In the past six months, Princess..."

If the other party used the ancient sages to oppose them, they would use Confucius and Mencius to counter them, presenting facts and reasoning, and every single one of their actions was obvious to all.

The two sides were deadlocked and neither side would give in.

A faint voice said, "It is said that whoever obtains the imperial seal will rule the world. If the princess can produce the imperial seal, we may be able to follow the will of heaven."

No matter who said it, this is what Cai Chong wanted, and his people will not object.

With so many supporters, consensus can naturally be reached.

Just at this moment, a deep and powerful female voice was heard.

"Here is the imperial seal!"

The voice echoed in the hall and everyone turned around.

Sangniu came in from outside the hall, holding the brocade box high, her cloak fluttering, and she said in a voice as loud as a bell:

"Here is the Imperial Seal! Why don't you kneel down and pay homage to the Empress?!"

Once the imperial seal is out, Cai Chong's people can take action.

——"If the princess is destined to be the princess, why would Luoxia Mountain become the burial place of an official appointed by the court?"

——"Isn't this a punishment from heaven for the hen crowing at dawn?"

A voice sounded near the door: "I have something to report!"

This is Qi Xiuyuan, a Jinshi this year, the one who had been imprisoned with the Regent Prince and his wife in Lingzhou.

He now works in the Dali Temple.

Although he was a low-ranking official and stood far away, it did not prevent his voice from resounding throughout the hall.

Shen Yangui: "Approved!"

"Something happened at Luoxia Mountain. Yesterday, I went to investigate and asked the people nearby. Fenglin Garden is remote and close to the Princess's Plum Garden. There are no people living within a few miles. It is very strange that you all gathered here during a festival or holiday. I personally think someone is deliberately trying to murder an official of the imperial court!"

"Where is Jingzhao Yin?"

Jingzhao Yin stepped out and said, "I am here."

"Who owns Maple Grove?"

"My princess, it's under the name of Lord Hua Shi of the Honglu Temple."

Shen Yangui successfully pulled out the Hua Shi.

A barely perceptible smile flashed across Cai Chong's lips: This is exactly what he wanted!

Lord Hua Shihua of the Honglu Temple should have appeared in Fenglin Garden and became a corpse under the mud and sand.

But on the day of the banquet, he was temporarily distracted by other matters and was unable to go. He originally regretted that he could not humiliate the princess in front of everyone.

When he learned that Fenglinyuan was completely buried, he was shocked and broke out in a cold sweat. Yesterday, he heard that the sons of various families had also met with accidents, so he knew that this was a vicious murder case against them.

He didn't know whether the princess had forgotten that he had also received an invitation, but as an insider and a member of Cai's party, he secretly contacted Cai Chong as soon as the incident happened.

Today he will help Cai Chong to bring Shen Yangui down.

"My princess, Maple Grove Garden originally belonged to me, but because Her Royal Highness Princess Lin'an liked it, it was merged into Plum Garden and became Her Royal Highness Princess Lin'an's private property."

"Send it to Princess Lin'an."

The palace immediately sent someone out.

"The colleague just now said that someone had deliberately murdered me, and I strongly agree with that."

Hua Shi took out another letter from his sleeve, held it between his two fingers, and showed it to everyone, "To be honest with you colleagues, I also received an anonymous invitation that day. If it weren't for the blessing of my ancestors, I would have entered Fenglin Garden and would be a dead soul in the mountains now."

Shen Yangui's gaze stayed on him for a moment, "Oh? There is such a thing?"

Cai Chong looked at him with some surprise in his eyes.

Shen Yangui raised his hand, turned around, and sat on the dragon chair very straightforwardly, "Someone, bring up the invitation."

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the princess was about to be in great trouble, so they were not in a hurry to get her off the seat.

Sui'an went forward to take the invitation, Hua Shi stepped back half a step and gave way, saying:

"It is only about the princess. I ask the Minister of the Chancellery, Mr. Cai, and the Imperial Censor, Mr. Zou, to be witnesses, and all the officials to listen to the review."

——"It's about the princess? What does that mean?"

——"Could it be that the invitation was sent by the princess?"

Cai Chong and Zou Zhengyan looked at Shen Yangui. Shen Yangui seemed hesitant and did not speak.

Hua Shi asked loudly, "Is the princess afraid?"

Unable to bear the provocation, Shen Yangui said, "What is this princess afraid of? Thank you, Prime Minister Cai and Doctor Zou."

When the letter was being read in the Golden Palace, Cai family's assassins also came in, and Chen Qi opened the palace gate to let them in.

The guards, wearing black corsets, split into two groups after entering the imperial city.

Escort other witnesses and evidence all the way to the Golden Palace.

There is another way, which leads directly to the Pepper Palace in the harem.

Mo Chengying was playing the piano, still dressed like a Taoist musician, but with a half silver mask on his face, which made him look less murderous and more charming.

The black-clad guards in the Golden Palace surrounded him.

The piano music has not stopped.

Qianfan and Wanchun stood in front of the zither and asked, "Who are you? Who allowed you to trespass into the Pepper Room? Get out now!"

"Don't be rude, these are Prime Minister Cai's men."

The blink of an eye seemed like a year. Mo Chengying had been waiting for them for a long time.

He stood up slowly, smoothing his sleeves and explaining, "Prime Minister Cai asked me to go to the palace to slander the princess and to point out that the princess was plotting to murder the prince. He will not kill me here."

The leader looked at Mo Chengying and said sarcastically, "Oh, boy, you are worthy of being the princess. You are pretty and smart. Now that you know, just follow us..."

Before he could finish his words, a white shadow flashed by.

He felt the knife in his hand being taken away, and a chill ran across his neck.

Blood splattered three feet.

"But I will kill you!"

Mo Chengying turned his back to the man, and as soon as he finished speaking, the others fell down as well.

Because they needed their clothes, the crossbows on the roof only shot at their heads and necks.

Fan Hu led his men to strip off their clothes and put on the Regent's secret guards.

Mo Chengying raised his left hand and then his right hand to make sure that there was no blood splatter on his white clothes. Then he straightened his clothes and walked out.

Happy.

I can go to the Golden Palace to see my beloved and fight against the scholars.

As soon as he reached the outside of the palace, his brisk footsteps were stopped by Cai Chong's personal guard Mei Yong.

"Wait here first."
