In front of the gate of the Hou Mansion, the lanterns reflected an ocher color.

Ocher is the color of red earth. In the north wing, ocher garments represent the garments of sin. Only criminals wear ocher clothes.

Yu Sujun was stunned in the wind.

Everywhere I looked, I saw people from the second, third and fourth rooms, all wearing ochre clothes and standing in neat rows.

There weren't many people, only two or three representatives from each room came to express their stance.

The howling cold wind could not blow away the solemnity and determination on his face.

Some of them may be afraid, some may hesitate, some may back off, and some may just go because everyone else is going.

No matter what kind of mood they gathered here, at this moment, a power rose in their hearts.

They are members of Jian'an Marquis Mansion!

They both prosper and lose.

Tang Chujun stepped forward and pulled Yu Sujun, and said softly, "We are still one, whether we are separated or not, we all share weal and woe. Let's go."

Yu Sujun burst into tears again, but said nothing more.

On weekdays, everyone cares about each other's interests, but at the critical moment, everything becomes insignificant.

But Shi Anxin broke people's hearts. When the whole mansion was about to collapse, she still wanted to escape.

Yu Sujun had completely given up on this daughter.

Everyone walked together towards the palace gate.

The curfew has been lifted at this time. They took a relatively hidden shortcut and did not attract too many people's attention.

Shi Chengyi had been kneeling in front of the palace gate all night. As soon as he saw everyone, his heart felt warm, but at the same time he felt sad.

He saw that his wife brought a pair of children, but not any concubines or anything else.

Only Tang Chujun and his two children came from the second house, Shi Chenglin and his wife You Wanshuang came from the third house, and Shi Chengyun and his wife Wang Kexiang came from the fourth house.

There were not many people and they did not bring any young children with them, so the emperor would not feel forced.

There were not a small number of people. Except for the old marquis and Shi Chengxuan, everyone who should have come had come.

The Jian'an Marquis Mansion was finally united.

The ocher color is a sincere confession.

The culprit, Shi Anxin, was also escorted over by Cen Yuan and knelt down next to Shi Chengyi.

Shi Anxin looked at her father several times with a sad look, but was ignored.

Shi Chengyi no longer even glanced at her.

Although there was very little movement at the palace gate, the news about the misfortune of the Marquis Jian'an Mansion was conveyed back to their respective masters.

Princess Chanyu yawned and said lazily, "Don't worry, it looks like a big deal. Go find out what the confession is about."

She thought it would not be too late to take action when all the people in Jian'an Marquis's Mansion were imprisoned. With her means, it was not impossible for her to secretly rescue Shi Yunqi.

However, if she really fished out Shi Yunqi, she would not give it to her daughter, but keep it for herself to enjoy.

She admired Shi Yunqi's handsome appearance very much.

After meeting Shi Yunqi that day, she couldn't stand the sight of the bunch of young men in the princess' mansion.

The more I looked at it, the more I disliked it. Shi Yunqi's appearance kept appearing in my mind.

Especially when he was in front of her, the way he bowed in a serious manner and spoke righteously. Tsk, don't mention how tempting it was.

Princess Chanyu asked her eyes and ears to continue to watch, and report any trouble.

In her heart, she hoped that the imperial brother would be tougher, preferably by killing the nine clans of the Shi family... It made her happy just thinking about it.

The other person who received the news was the current Empress Dowager.

Earlier, she had received a prediction from a master, who said that Shi Anxia was destined to be a genius.

She was determined to win Shi Anxia, ​​and she would only be willing to get him into Prince Jin's palace.

But she also wanted to leave this girl alone because her series of actions last time had offended her.

In addition, this girl had been living outside since she was a child and had not received much education, so she despised her from the bottom of her heart.

The Empress Dowager's original idea was to bring Shi Anxia into Prince Jin's Mansion as a concubine at will. Because the master didn’t say that this genius must be worshiped as an ancestor for it to be effective.

Unexpectedly, the Jian'an Marquis Mansion suddenly gained momentum, and Shi Anxia's own limelight was also unparalleled. The Empress Dowager was a little confused about where to start.

She has not taken any action in recent days and only sent people to keep an eye on every move of the Jian'an Marquis Mansion.

The Empress Dowager was furious when she found out that Shi Anxia had a baby to marry and she had promised to marry him yesterday. But there's no rush, the worst case scenario is killing her baby.

Just at dawn, news came that people from the Marquis of Jian'an Mansion were kneeling in front of the palace gate wearing ocher clothes, and Shi Anxia was among them.

The Empress Dowager woke up immediately, sat up, and was in a good mood, "Check again to see what the reason for the invitation was."

She's not in a hurry.

She thought that she could kneel down in ocher clothes to apologize and make sure that the matter was no big deal.

She hoped that the emperor would be furious and throw all the people in Jian'an Marquis's Mansion into prison. She would then find another loophole and fish Shi Anxia out and throw her to the King of Jin.

In this case, isn't this Phoenix girl still the Prince of Jin's?

It's like a mascot, all you have to do is put it in your pocket in the end.

Emperor Mingde, who was staying in Chaoyang Palace, also woke up at this time. The North Wing had a break for ten days of morning court, and today was not the morning court.

He got up late now. When he heard Eunuch Qi coming to report what happened at the palace gate, he said, "Bring everyone in the Jian'an Marquis Mansion."

In this way, a group of people knelt outside Chaoyang Hall again.

Emperor Mingde asked Eunuch Qi while he was changing his clothes and washing himself, "Youen, do you think I am a little swollen today?"

He pressed his face and felt that he had not slept well and was not in good shape.

Eunuch Qi smiled and adjusted his girdle for him, "Your Majesty is majestic, full of energy, and not swollen at all."

Emperor Mingde did not believe what Eunuch Qi said, so he asked the eunuch who was preparing water for him to wash his face, "Xiao Shuzi, you tell me! I want to hear the truth."

Xiao Shuzi looked young and tender, and his eyebrows curved when he smiled, "Your Majesty, what Eunuch Qi said is what I said. Your Majesty, you are the most handsome man in the North Wing. The true dragon emperor is not comparable to ordinary people."

"Hahaha!" Emperor Mingde was delighted, but he also knew what he was saying, "You are more exaggerated than Youen!"

Xiao Shuzi expressed his loyalty, "Everything I say is from the bottom of my heart."

After everything was cleaned up and breakfast was finished, Emperor Mingde sat in the palace and summoned people to see him.

He looked at the list that was presented to him, crossed his fingers on the list, and stopped at the words Shi Yunqi.

But his eyes fell on "Tang Chujun". She was here too?

I just remembered, oh, she is the mother of the second house owner of the Shi family.

It’s really interesting that the head of the second house didn’t come, but the mistress came with her two children.

When I looked again, the old Marquis was not here either.

He couldn't help but shake his head, no wonder the Marquis of Jian'an Mansion fell into Qingxiang's hands at this time, and he never achieved anything in his life.

We still have to rely on the next generation, and the generation after that.

Now, the next generation and the generation after that are all kneeling and waiting for his decision.

It's true, one bad apple spoils the whole pot of soup!

At this time, Cheng Yi didn't know how to control his daughter?

Emperor Mingde originally wondered if it was because Shi Chengyi's stepmother treated his daughter harshly that caused his daughter to take such an extreme approach?

The results of the investigation by the Western Shadow Guards were exactly the opposite. The stepmother was very kind and treated her daughter like her own.

Emperor Mingde was the first to summon "that wonderful stepmother" Yu Sujun to meet him.

After some questioning, Emperor Mingde believed that the results obtained by the Western Shadow Guards were consistent with the facts.

This woman speaks well and has clear eyes. Based on the countless experiences of Emperor Mingde, she was not a woman who resorted to selfish means.

The second person to meet... Emperor Mingde crossed Tang Chujun's name with his finger. He stopped there and spoke slowly, "Xuan... the clouds are rising!"
