The legitimate daughter was reborn, and the emperor’s little Jiaojiao went crazy.

Shi Anxia raised her cunning and crystal clear eyes and looked at Emperor Mingde like a little fox, as if she had no idea what the other person was talking about.

Emperor Mingde frowned angrily, "I know you have no ill intentions, but I can't be fooled by you."

Shi Anxia was terrified, "Our emperor is wise, who in the world dares to play tricks on the emperor?"

Emperor Mingde was furious when he saw the little girl refused to admit it, "I pardon you now! You'd better tell me what you mean, otherwise!"

Shi Anxia then put away her smile and said seriously, "Your Majesty, you just need to know that everything I have done will not harm the North Wing. As for the rest, I have no intention of saying more."

Emperor Mingde sighed. The emperor was lonely, and it was so difficult to hear a few words of truth.

The true feelings came immediately, "Your Majesty, I love Beiyi as much as you do! I know that no matter how much I say, it is better to do more. The immortality of the mountains and rivers of Beiyi is my lifelong wish."

Emperor Mingde was moved.

He could see that every word the little girl said was sincere and came from her heart, which was fundamentally different from those ministers who only knew how to talk and say nice things.

Her tearful eyes seemed to be filled with the deepest feelings for the land of North Wing, a love she had even greater than that for him as the emperor.

This puzzled him.

For a moment, he felt that it was all his imagination.

But he firmly believed that his intuition was accurate, and the girl in front of him was more sincere than any loyal minister.

In the end, all the questions turned into one reminder, "I'll keep your manuscript. As for the rest, don't tell anyone else."

At that time, Anxia knew that Emperor Mingde was protecting her. If a woman interfered in government affairs, it would cause a huge disturbance.

She kowtowed with great ceremony, indicating that she understood the Emperor Mingde's instructions, "Your subject will remember the Emperor's teachings."

Emperor Mingde said again, "There is one more question, you must answer me!"

Shi Anxia secretly sighed inwardly, knowing that he could no longer keep his identity as a charcoal seller.

As expected, Emperor Mingde's question was, "Is the man who comes and goes freely in my palace the charcoal seller?"

Shi Anxia lowered her head, sullenly, "Can you not answer?"

"No." Emperor Mingde said firmly, "I will not punish you!"

"That's it." Shi Anxia lowered her eyebrows and looked pleasing.

Emperor Mingde was amused and angry at the same time. "Yes, yes. No, no. What do you mean by yes? You are still so young. Can you be more sincere when you speak?"

Shi Anxia looked up and smiled shyly, "Your Majesty's words are as good as gold! Why don't you give your servant a few death-proof gold medals?"

"How many!" Emperor Mingde waved his hand at her in disdain, "You can leave now!"

Shi Anxia pursed her lips and left Chaoyang Palace. She knew that the crime of collective punishment would definitely be abolished and the Jian'an Marquis Mansion would be safe.

When Emperor Mingde summoned Cheng Yi to meet him, it was already noon.

Shi Chengyi knelt down in front of Emperor Mingde in a state of embarrassment and apologized. He told everything his daughter Shi Anxin had done clearly and without hiding anything.

Emperor Mingde listened quietly, his eyes looking down at Shi Chengyi's face.

But this boy has regular facial features and clear eyes.

This was not the first time he had seen Shi Chengyi, he would see him every day when he went to court. But ever since he received information from the Western Shadow Guards about Tang Chujun's "various aspects", he had new feelings when looking at Shi Chengyi.

For example, last night, he asked Shi Chengyi to "kneel barefoot", which contained some personal thoughts that were difficult to express.

Alas. Emperor Mingde sighed.

Besides being an emperor, he is also a flesh-and-blood, jealous man!

He said slowly, "Your daughter can't be saved. Do you have any objections?"

Shi Chengyi's tiger body trembled.

……

Seven days later, three major events occurred in the capital, and people spread the news.

The first thing is that the Northern Wing Law formally abolished the system of collective punishment, which means that whoever breaks the law should be held responsible, and innocent people should not be harmed.

The second thing was to officially announce to the world that the family tree could be revised by the family itself and was no longer subject to government control.

The third incident was the source of the Dengwen Drum Incident. Shi Anxin, the eldest granddaughter of the Marquis of Jian'an, caused the restart of the imperial examination due to the crime of making up stories, disrupting the imperial examination and wasting court resources. She was fined 1,000 taels of silver, caned 40 times, exiled to Mozhou, and was not allowed to enter the capital for the rest of her life.

The Jian'an Marquis Mansion was saved, but Shi Chengyi was badly injured.

In fact, if a woman is beaten with the stick forty times, she is basically dead.

Therefore, Shi Chengyi begged Emperor Mingde to demote him to the sixth rank of Yuwenlang of the Ministry of Justice in exchange for Shi Anxin receiving thirty strokes of the cane.

Emperor Mingde agreed to it out of consideration for his father's wishes.

It was these thirty beatings that interrupted the father-daughter relationship between Shi Chengyi and Shi Anxin.

At this moment, Cheng Yi was lying on the bed, thinking.

Yu Sujun scooped some medicine with a spoon and handed it to his mouth, "Are you thinking about An Xin?"

Shi Chengyi shook his head. "I was wondering, why did the emperor look at me differently?"

Yu Sujun smiled gently, "You think too much."

Shi Chengyi still insisted, "Really, that day in Chaoyang Palace, I could clearly sense a very faint hostility emanating from the emperor."

Yu Sujun said, "Perhaps the emperor felt that he had just promoted you, and it had only been a few days, but your family had such a big incident. No one would be happy about it."

Shi Chengyi thought about it and realized that it was true. "Did you pass the message to the Yuan family? The Shi family wants to expel An Xin from the clan."

Yu Sujun responded quietly, "Yes. After all, it's Anxin's maternal family, so they should have been informed. I heard that the old lady of the Yuan family was so angry that she fell ill."

Shi Chengyi sighed heavily.

Yu Sujun also sighed heavily, "It's all my fault."

Shi Chengyi bent over and laboriously put the bowl in her hand on the small table beside the bed, then he held her hand and said, "Su Jun, you have done very well."

Yu Sujun's nose was sore, and hot tears dripped onto the back of her husband's hand, "If I hadn't caught An Xin that night and let her run away, would it have been better?"

"Silly! You might just end up losing everyone's lives." Shi Chengyi was also very sad, but his daughter's behavior was so bizarre that it almost caused the destruction of the Marquis' Mansion. He could not forgive her.

He could only take the beating for her and send someone to make arrangements secretly so that his daughter would not suffer too much on the way to Mozhou.

Everyone has the right to feel at ease when they give up, but he didn't.

He is the father!

Even though he didn't teach her well, even though he tried his best to teach her well and once thought she was well educated.

Shi Anxue was standing at the door listening to her tears falling. She used her brother's sleeve to wipe her tears and snot, "Wow, is Sister Anxin really not allowed to stay at home? She is going to Mozhou. I heard that Mozhou is a very hard place. How can she endure it?"

She took the silver and jewelry she had saved and begged Shi Yunzhou, "Brother, can we give some silver to Sister Anxin? When she is hungry, she can buy food outside... Woo woo woo... Sister Anxin, please don't leave. I will never compete with you for my mother again, never again..."

Shi Yunzhou pulled his sister over and walked away from the house. He said seriously, "Xue'er, I'm telling you, people who make mistakes must be punished. When you sympathize with someone, you should find out what she has done. Otherwise, one day, you will have a snake by your side. You treat it well, but it may bite you back at any time."

Shi Anxue blinked her eyes, tears trembling on her long eyelashes. In a moment, the crystal tears slid down her cheeks like pearls, "Brother, I don't raise snakes. Snakes are ugly. I like night babies."

As soon as he finished speaking, a black whirlwind rolled over and rushed towards Shi Anxue.

Shi Anxue's tears were still wet as she giggled and went to hug Ye Baoer, "Ye baby, Ye baby, you are still the best. You won't bite me."

Ye Baoer was laughing so hard that his tail was almost broken by shaking.

Shi Anxia followed in from outside and looked at Shi Yunzhou and said warmly, "Brother Yunzhou, you have grown up."

Shi Yunzhou straightened his chest and said proudly, "Of course, I am already an adult."

As they were talking, Nan Yan came running in from outside and reported in a panic, "Miss, Madam Wei is here! I heard that the old marquis sent someone to the Wei family a few days ago to cancel the engagement..."
