The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Chu Heyi knelt in the cold hall, his face pale but his eyes red, and he said in a loud voice: "The earthquake in Qingyang City has caused the local people to lose their homes and loved ones, and even face the threat of death due to lack of food, but the food from Shengjing City has not arrived for a long time.

"Master Xie set out for Qingyang City two days later than the relief grain was dispatched, but he actually caught up with the relief grain convoy halfway.

"The convoy passed through dense jungles in the dark night, attracting bandits to rob the relief food. At that time, Lord Xie felt something was wrong and immediately sent people to investigate.

“I just found out that Lord Qin, who was transporting the relief grain, followed the Prime Minister’s instructions and deliberately slowed down the speed of transporting the relief grain, deliberately attracting mountain bandits to rob the relief grain!

"If Lord Xie hadn't arranged for the guards to help, the relief food would never have been delivered to Qingyang City safely. I don't know how many people in Qingyang City would have died. And all of this is thanks to the Prime Minister!"

Chu Heyi stared at Zheng Wenkang with bloodthirsty hatred: "Does the Prime Minister need witnesses? The witnesses are waiting outside the palace gate! As long as the emperor gives the order, they will immediately enter the palace to testify!"

"How could such a thing happen! Yin Shao, go and bring in the witness!" The emperor slammed the table angrily and shouted!

Yin Shao immediately took the order and left. After a while, many people came from outside, including some dressed as bandits and ordinary people.

At this moment, the prime minister's face turned pale and his body began to tremble.

"Your Majesty, for more than 20 years, I have been by your side, working hard for you and Daqi. I do not ask for a name in history, but I hope that I will not be splashed with dirty water when I am old.

"Chu Heyi tried to lead the Zhenbei Marquisate to rebel. The first thing she did was to get rid of your closest minister. Your Majesty must not fall for her evil scheme!"

The emperor's face was filled with anger, and he said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, please calm down and listen to what the witnesses say. If the Prime Minister is innocent, I will certainly not do anything to the Prime Minister."

The prime minister pursed his lips, unable to utter a word under the emperor's majestic gaze.

First, the common people came forward and knelt, saying, "We adopted the rice planting method promoted by Mr. Xie, and this autumn we have indeed had a good harvest. But we did not expect that when our whole village was drying the rice, bandits would come to rob us. If Mr. Xie's men had not arrived in time, we would have suffered heavy losses. It was them who brought their men down the mountain to rob us."

The people were pointing at a few people who looked like bandits. They were tied up and had no freedom of movement.

Several bandits were panicked and confessed the truth: "It was the Prime Minister who sent people to tell us to go down the mountain to plunder. His people also told us that they would hold back the local people for us and that we would definitely gain a lot from this trip..."

Unexpectedly, they were arrested as soon as they went out!

As this wave of witnesses retreated, another wave of witnesses came forward. They were the witnesses who looted the relief grain. Among them were bandits and several soldiers who were transporting the relief grain.

The officers and soldiers were already shaking with fear. "In the process of transporting the relief grain, our speed was indeed very slow. Before crossing the mountain at night, Lord Qin even let us rest at the foot of the mountain for an afternoon. It seemed that he deliberately put the relief grain into danger."

The bandits said, "We also got the news from the Prime Minister and came to plunder the relief grain. He said that someone would help us and we only needed to work hard and we would have a good harvest without hurting any brothers... But we didn't get anything in the end. Your Majesty, please spare us."

All the voices pointed to Zheng Wenkang.

Whether it was the common people farming outside the city or the bandits in the mountains; whether it was the officers and soldiers transporting relief grain or the bandits looting relief grain, all of them testified against Zheng Wenkang, accusing him of committing an unforgivable crime.

Chu Heyi stood up from the hall, his cold voice like cutting ice and snow, "Your Majesty, Zheng Wenkang is the prime minister who is second only to the emperor and above all others. In order to consolidate his position, he does not allow any capable person to display his talent and overshadow him!

“So, when Lord Xie showed his talent, he wanted to get rid of Lord Xie. As the prime minister, he has no tolerance for others.

"In order to achieve his own goals, Zheng Wenkang colluded with bandits twice, first destroying the people's autumn harvest, and then plundering relief grain. He didn't care about the lives of the people at all. As the prime minister, he regarded human life as worthless!"

Chu Heyi lifted her skirt and knelt down again. "Your Majesty, there is irrefutable evidence that Zheng Wenkang murdered Mr. Xie and that he killed the people and the victims of the disaster. He is truly an unkind and unjust person. He is not worthy of being a prime minister, let alone a human being. Please punish Zheng Wenkang!"

She banged her forehead hard on the floor, making a "bang" sound. Dozens of people behind her also knelt down and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, please get rid of this harm to the people!" Chu Heyi said.

A dozen people followed her and said in unison: "Your Majesty, please rid the people of this evil!"

There were only a dozen or so voices, but they seemed to form a continuous mountain, echoing endlessly in the Purple Palace, shocking people's minds and unable to be ignored.

Zheng Wenkang's face turned pale, and he shouted quickly: "Your Majesty, I am innocent. I have never done these things..."

The emperor slammed the table angrily: "Zheng Wenkang, now the evidence is irrefutable. The Princess of Cheng'an County is willing to die to testify against you. How dare you cry out for injustice! You are really narrow-minded and reckless. In order to consolidate your position, you are willing to sacrifice thousands of people. I am extremely disappointed in you!

"Pass on my order to remove Zheng Wenkang from his post as Prime Minister and throw him into prison to await his fate!"

The emperor was really angry. After he spoke, he stood up and was about to leave. Suddenly, he thought of something and said, "Princess Cheng'an, please go home and recuperate!"

"Your Majesty, I thank you very much. Your Majesty is wise!" Chu Heyi knelt down and kowtowed, her voice clear and powerful.

That was the last of her strength.

The emperor left, Zheng Wenkang was also dragged away, and the others also dispersed. Chu Heyi was still kneeling in the hall. It was not that she was unwilling to get up, but that she was exhausted.

Baihua immediately came forward to support her. After a long time, Chu Heyi regained some consciousness and stood up with Baihua, but most of her body weight was on Baihua.

Baihua said: "Miss, it's over. Zheng Wenkang has been brought to justice. You have avenged Mr. Xie. Let's go home."

"Yes, let's go home and tell Xie Lin the good news. He will wake up after hearing it." Chu Heyi was very anxious and struggled to go out. Baihua was not paying attention for a moment and Chu Heyi slipped from her hands.

However, she did not fall to the ground, but was supported by a hand, "Miss Heyi, be careful!"

It's a man's voice.

Chu Heyi was anxious to see Xie Lin. He struggled to support himself and raised his head, and saw a familiar face.

Her head was dizzy and the picture in front of her eyes was shaking. She shook her head hard, but it was still that familiar face.

"Are you awake? Are you here to take me home?" Chu Heyi asked, her voice choked with sobs. She didn't cry just now, but now when she saw "Xie Lin", she cried.

When Baihua saw the prince, she wanted to go forward to support Chu Heyi, but the prince glanced over and Huaiqi stepped forward to block her way.

Huai Qi said: "My master has something to say to Miss Heyi. In this palace, my master will not harm Miss Heyi, don't worry."

Baihua pursed her lips, not daring to disobey the prince's order, so she had to wait where she was, her eyes never leaving Chu Heyi.

Dongfang Ye held Chu Heyi's arm with one hand and her face with the other, making her look at him.

He said softly, "Yes, I am here to pick you up. I am very happy that you have overthrown the Prime Minister and removed a major obstacle for me."

He leaned close to Chu Heyi's ear and said softly and gently, "Miss Heyi, I really like you. I'll go to the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion to ask for your hand in marriage, okay?"

Chu Heyi replied with the last bit of consciousness left: "I'll wait for you."

Then I fell completely into darkness.
