Although Wei Chang was now demoted to a commoner and exiled, he was still his son after all, and Jiang Ruanxi was still Wei Chang's wife. These people actually bullied her in front of him and hit him in the face.

This is not taking yourself seriously at all.

"Come here, take the bell and tripod away from me. You dare to do this in public in the court. Do you not take me seriously, or do you think this place is a market?"

When Emperor Qin became angry, the ministers realized the seriousness of the situation. They were no longer relaxed and lowered their heads.

Zhong Ding was so frightened that his legs went limp and his whole body began to tremble. He subconsciously looked at Li Chaoyang, but Li Chaoyang didn't even glance back at him.

Zhong Ding was very desperate, as Li Chaoyang had asked him to do all this.

He told himself that as long as he raised his voice, he would come in and tell everything, which would not only allow him to leave that poor place, but also allow him to come to Kyoto to be an official, so he dared to be so presumptuous.

But why are the results different?

He was unwilling to give up. When the guards were about to approach him, he grabbed Li Chaoyang's leg with one hand and cried for help, "Sir, please save me. Didn't you tell me all this? As long as I do what you said, you can guarantee my wealth and glory."

As soon as he said this, everyone was shocked.

He looked at Li Chaoyang with shock.

"What do you mean?" Emperor Qin looked at Zhong Ding angrily and quickly glanced at Li Chaoyang.

Li Chaoyang didn't expect that Zhong Ding, this idiot, would actually say these things in public. He was angry and extremely frightened at the same time.

He raised his foot and kicked him hard in the chest. Zhong Ding felt pain in his chest and fell down, but his hands were still tightly holding Li Chaoyang's legs.

He continued to mutter to himself, "Li Yushi, I have done so much for you, you can't just watch me die."

Seeing that he was getting more and more outrageous, Li Chaoyang could no longer care about him. He knelt down with a pale face and said, "Your Majesty, I am innocent. I don't know him. You must believe me."

There was no longer the arrogance on his face, and it was covered with sweat, but he didn't dare to wipe it off.

Emperor Qin stared at him with a gloomy face.

After a while, his eyes fell on Zhong Ding, "Tell me, what happened? If you dare to make up lies again, I will not forgive you."

This naked threat made Zhong Ding's heart tremble, and he knew that this was his only chance to survive.

Anyway, after what happened just now, he has seen through Li Chaoyang's true face.

He told the whole story in detail.

It turned out that Zhong Ding appeared here because someone picked him up and promised him that as long as he told everything and proved that it was Jiang Ruanxi's fault, he would not only be able to leave that poor place but also get a job in Kyoto.

After he arrived in Kyoto, those people brought him directly to Li Chaoyang, who promised him a lot and taught him how to speak and act.

After Zhong Ding finished speaking, Emperor Qin picked up the memorial on the table and threw it hard at Li Chaoyang, who was already kneeling on the ground in fear. "Li Chaoyang, he is telling the truth."

"Your Majesty, I have not done these things. He is slandering me. Please understand your Majesty." Li Chaoyang raised his hand and glared at Zhong Ding fiercely.

"You are still quibbling now. Someone, throw Li Chaoyang into the prison, and this..."

Emperor Qin thought for a long time but could not come up with a name for the bell and tripod.

"And this man."

Emperor Qin was angry and no one else dared to say anything.

Li Chaoyang's eyes were full of despair. She looked at Jiang Minghuai and wanted to say something, but Jiang Minghuai shook his head at him. Li Chaoyang immediately closed her mouth and let the guards drag her away.

"Ling Lin, everything today is your fault. You should have been demoted to a commoner along with Wei Chang. However, I cannot bear to see that the Grand Tutor is old and has no one around him. From now on, you are not allowed to leave the mansion without my order. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless."

Emperor Qin's words surprised everyone.

Although there was no evidence today that she was Jiang Ruanxi, she was the Crown Princess of the deposed Crown Prince. Why didn't Emperor Qin demote her to a commoner and exile her with Wei Chang?

Is it really because of the Grand Tutor?

Even if those people had doubts, they did not dare to speak carelessly.

After Jiang Ruanxi was sent back, the court became calm again.

On the palace road.

"I didn't expect that little bitch Jiang Ruanxi was so tough that he could escape like this." Jiang Minghuai said fiercely.

"You can escape for a while, but you can't escape forever. Don't worry about her now, we need to speed up." Jiang Kui said coldly.

"I'm already prepared, just wait."

"Ah."

After they parted ways, Jiang Minghuai took a few steps and the palace maid from last time appeared in front of him again. This time Jiang Minghuai was not surprised at all and just followed her.

After Jiang Ruanxi returned home, Hongye was relieved to see that she had returned safely.

"Madam, I'm glad you're okay. I scared you to death."

Jiang Ruanxi held her hand and smiled, "I'm fine. We are the only ones left in the mansion now. We are imprisoned in this mansion, and the enemy will not let us go, so we must be more careful in the future."

"I know." Hongye nodded.

The next day, at dawn, Hongye hurried into the room.

Jiang Ruanxi, who had not slept all night, saw her expression, put down the brush, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"

"Your Majesty has fallen ill and lost consciousness. He is now in a coma. The outside world is in chaos."

"What?" Jiang Ruanxi was a little surprised.

You know, Emperor Qin was full of energy yesterday, but he fell ill overnight.

Hongye repeated it again.

Jiang Ruanxi fell into deep thought.

"Try to find out what's going on. And what's going on in the court?" Jiang Ruanxi said seriously.

"it is good."

Soon, Hongye found out everything through the spies left by Wei Chang.

Because Emperor Qin fainted, the court is now in chaos.

The eldest prince and the second prince each form their own factions, and they are ready to make a move. However, since the second prince has been in Kyoto for many years and has accumulated a large number of connections, many people stand on the side of the second prince.

The last time Emperor Qin fainted, the Second Prince did not dare to act rashly because of the presence of Crown Prince Wei Chang. Now seeing that Wei Chang has been demoted to a commoner and Emperor Qin has fallen ill again, this is a great opportunity.

The second prince no longer pretends.

"Go secretly to Master Bian Du and Qi Wu and ask them to bring some men who know Kung Fu to the mansion?"

Hearing this, Yu Shui looked at her in surprise. As soon as Wei Chang was demoted to a commoner, Jiang Ruanxi started looking for a man on a large scale.
