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

Somehow it got cloudy outside and it started raining heavily again.

Mother Xing came out of the house and saw the increasingly noble son-in-law standing in the corridor, so she went forward to greet him. Thinking of Bei Hui's instructions, she changed the "son-in-law" that was about to come out of her mouth to "young master".

Cen Yuan nodded slightly and was about to step into the house, but she saw Mother Xing kneeling on the ground, "Thank you, young master, for saving me."

She had heard from the young lady that her nephew Xing Mingyue was able to take part in the martial arts examination after being released from prison, all thanks to her brother-in-law's efforts.

Cen Yuan looked back with his hands behind his back, "Get up. Mingyue has done well on his own. He will have a bright future ahead of him. Your good days are still to come."

Mother Xing kept saying "Thank you, young master" and watched the person go into the house before she looked away.

Bei Hui smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam Xing. The young master said that your nephew has a bright future, so he must have a bright future."

Mother Xing was filled with emotion. "Hey. The young master and his wife have given our Xing family a second life." After she finished her response, she couldn't hold back tears that flowed down her cheeks. "I don't ask Mingyue to have a bright future, I just want her to be safe and sound."

Her nephew Xing Mingyue originally ranked first in the military examination in Hong County, Qizhou, and won the provincial examination. Just when the whole family was happy for him, disaster struck.

Xing Mingyue's martial arts classmate Xie Cangping suddenly claimed that he had lost a jade pendant that was passed down from his ancestors, and immediately went to the government office to report the case.

The official sent people to look for it, and finally found it in Xing Mingyue's bag. For this, Xing Mingyue was imprisoned.

The jade pendant was of very good quality and extremely expensive, far exceeding the penalty of death. The county magistrate wrote with a stroke of his pen, "Kill!"

Xing Mingyue, who had a bright future, was sentenced to death. Xing's family members went to great lengths to appeal for justice, but to no avail.

Not only that, the Xing family originally wanted to go to Beijing to ask Xing Mama, who was working in the Marquis' Mansion, for help, but they were caught by the officials before they even left Qizhou.

Therefore, Mother Xing was completely unaware of the major changes that had occurred in her family at that time, and was happily waiting for her nephew to go to Beijing to take part in the military examination.

Shi Anxia looked through the crystal door curtain at Mother Xing's back as she walked away, and sighed softly.

I feel that the world is so big, and I wonder how many people are still suffering and tormenting. How many people will have the chance to see the light of day again?

Cen Yuan looked at the little girl who had not yet reached the age of marriage, and who always had endless things to worry about. "The world has its own rules, and life and death have their own cause and effect. Who knows if the bad things you did in this life will not become retribution in the next life?"

Shi Anxia sighed, "That being said..."

In fact, she didn't really help Xing Mingyue just to win over Xing's mother.

As early as when she planned to admit Lu Sangyu and Gu Boyan into Yunqi Academy, she had already started to help Xing Mingyue escape from prison.

Xing Mingyue first appeared in Yunqi Academy during the first few months of the competition period, and she entered the academy almost at the same time as Huo Siwu.

Is it complicated to bring a prisoner to the capital to take the martial arts examination?

It’s not complicated to say it’s complicated.

Because Xing Mingyue's case was actually a setup, and the one who harmed him was none other than Ying Liangchen from the Imperial College.

Ying Liangchen and Xing Mingyue have a deep connection, they are both from Hong County, Qizhou. One is the first in the college examination and the provincial examination of Hong County, Qizhou, and the other is the second in the college examination and the provincial examination of Hong County, Qizhou.

The Ying family was a wealthy family in the local area, and they were considered to have connections in the capital. Ying Zhaoyi in the harem of Emperor Mingde was Ying Liangchen's distant aunt.

The Ying family of Qizhou is just a distant branch of the Ying family in Beijing.

Ying Zhaoyi's father, Ying Xiaoshan, was the general of Chuinan, commanding an army of 100,000 and guarding the border of Jiangzhou.

This is also the reason why Emperor Mingde and Shi Anxia could not really take action against the Queen Mother, because Ying Xiaoshan was a member of the Queen Mother's party.

As the saying goes, a single move can affect the entire body. It is easy to kill the Queen Mother, but how to control Ying Xiaoshan is a big problem. Otherwise, if unrest breaks out, the people of Jiangzhou will suffer.

The reason why the Qizhou Ying family was favored by the main branch of the Ying family was entirely because they were good at making money.

The Ying family needs to spend a lot of money every year to maintain private soldiers in Jiangzhou. Where does the money come from? In addition to the supply from the Queen Mother, the Ying family in Qizhou is also an important source.

This is also the reason why Ying Liangchen can cover the sky with one hand in Qizhou, he has connections in the capital!

Initially, Ying Liangchen was just jealous of Xing Mingyue's status as the first place in the case and the first place in the Jieyuan. He bribed the local officials, but failed to suppress Xing Mingyue's momentum to become the first place in the case and the first place in the Jieyuan.

There was indeed a huge gap in their abilities, and there were officials from the capital supervising the exam, so Ying Liangchen could only get second place even though he cheated.

There is no way. The military examination is different from the civil examination. If the arrow hits the target, it hits the target. If it misses the target, it really misses the target.

As a result, eliminating Xing Mingyue, who was in the way, became the top priority of the Ying family.

Ying Liangchen bribed Xing Mingyue's good friend Xie Cangping and used an expensive jade pendant to frame him.

He then bribed the county magistrate, Lord Wang, to arrest Xing Mingyue and secretly sentenced him to death.

That’s right, the key lies in this “secret death sentence”.

Because of Xing Mingyue's special identity, after all, she was the top scorer in the imperial court, they could only proceed in secret and not let the higher-ups know.

There are countless people who give up the exam every year, and Xing Mingyue is not a big deal. But if Xing Mingyue commits a crime and is sentenced to death, and the news reaches the capital, the court will definitely send officials to investigate.

The Ying family was worried about complications, so they asked the county magistrate, Lord Wang, to do it secretly. In short, the matter was not recorded in the annals, let alone reported to the capital, and it was considered "private execution".

In other words, as long as Xing Mingyue can see the light of day, she is eligible to take the martial arts examination.

But the Xing family didn't know about this, and they were going to the capital to ask Mother Xing, who was working in the Marquis' Mansion, to find a way to rescue Xing Mingyue.

There was no way the Ying family would let the Xing family spread the secret, so they sent people to stop the Xing family on the road and beat Xing Mingyue's father half to death, in order to keep the news strictly blocked.

In the previous life, Ying Liangchen took the fourth place in the martial arts examination after some operations.

But the value of his fourth place was extremely high. After King Jin ascended the throne, he suddenly became the General of Weinan.

At this time, Ying Liangchen, who was rising rapidly, needed someone capable of doing things. He thought of Xing Mingyue who was secretly imprisoned, and appeared as a benefactor to get her out of prison.

Ying Liangchen also changed Xing Mingyue's appearance and even her name, and took her in as his subordinate.

Xing Mingyue is naive and mistakenly thinks Ying Liangchen is a noble man and a benefactor, so she works diligently for him all her life.

He was worried that his identity would be exposed, so he took the initiative to become an invisible man and held no position in the army.

However, Ying Liangchen knew that Xing Mingyue was an upright person, so he did not dare to entrust his shameful tasks to Xing Mingyue.

But in the end, Xing Mingyue found out that Ying Liangchen was in collusion with Pei Yu, was greedy for military pay, colluded with pirates to make huge money, bullied men and women, and did all kinds of bad things.

If it was just the above behavior, Xing Mingyue would just risk his life to persuade them. But he found out that Ying Liangchen and Pei Yu were selling out their country, not caring about the lives of the people, and were completely unscrupulous and had no bottom line.

He couldn't bear it anymore, so he began to secretly collect evidence of Ying Liangchen's treason.

Unexpectedly, he accidentally learned the truth about his imprisonment.
