The legitimate daughter becomes cannon fodder? Rebirth to overthrow the system's fatality

"Come in!" Ji Yun was pushed into the front hall.

The five princes, the prime minister, and the minister of justice were all there.

Ji Yun knelt in the middle of the hall with a pale face.

The subordinate handed the packet of medicine to Chu Heng, and Chu Heng handed it to the two imperial doctors beside him.

"Tell me, why did you drug your classmate?"

Ji Yun's face was pale and her head was lowered, but she said nothing.

At this time, the imperial physician stepped forward and said, "Those students were indeed poisoned by this medicine and fell into a coma."

Jiang Miaoduan said coldly: "Why did you poison her? And you want to put the blame on Cheng Jiuyuan?"

Ji Yun raised her head, looked around, and finally her eyes fell on Cheng Zongyang.

It is said that the Prime Minister is the kindest person, and he is Cheng Jiuyuan's father. If one can ask for his forgiveness, perhaps this matter can be resolved.

She looked at Cheng Zongyang and tears immediately fell like rain.

"My Lord Prime Minister, I am the daughter of the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture. I was blinded by jealousy and didn't mean to hurt anyone. I thought it was just an ordinary drug. I just wanted them to get up later the next day. I beg you to forgive me this time for my father's sake. I am willing to kowtow to Miss Cheng and apologize!"

Cheng Zongyang looked at Ji Yun and frowned.

He really had no grudge against Lord Ji, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture. Could this really be a conflict between the two little girls?

We are officials in the same court. If I can do Lord Ji a favor, I will...

He looked at Cheng Jiuyuan: "Yuan'er..."

Cheng Jiuyuan sneered in her heart and was about to speak, but was interrupted by Chu Heng.

"You are so generous, Prime Minister. Do you know how many rumors Miss Cheng Er has suffered in the past few days? If the murderer behind the scenes is not caught, what kind of situation will she be in?"

Cheng Zongyang looked at Chu Heng, then at Cheng Jiuyuan: "With Benxiang here, no one can do anything to my daughter. Besides, she is fine now, not hurt at all..."

Chu Heng stood up slowly: "It is said that you are a kind person, Prime Minister. I have seen it today. You are indeed kind to your colleagues, but you have no warmth towards your own daughter."

Cheng Zongyang smiled awkwardly: "Your Highness the Fifth Prince has misunderstood."

Jiang Miaoduan also stood up and said, "Mr. Prime Minister, this matter has become so serious. You are not still thinking of keeping things quiet now, are you?"

"This is just a fight between children..."

Chu Heng looked at Ji Yun, his voice was as if it contained ice chips: "You said you framed Miss Cheng because you were jealous? Did you think it was just an ordinary drug?"

"...Yes." Ji Yun lowered her head.

"You're lying! Those four students are still in a coma, and you thought it was just an ordinary drug. Why do you continue to poison other students?"

Luan An also stepped forward: "If I let you succeed tonight, Miss Cheng's crime will be confirmed. Are you just jealous? You clearly want to kill me."

"I didn't, I didn't!"

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Ji Yun and said, "I have no grudges against you in the past or today. On the contrary, I have helped you a lot. You have no reason to be jealous of me to the point of wanting to kill me. Tell me who is behind this, and your crime will be lighter."

Ji Yun collapsed on the ground, crying helplessly and shaking her head.

She can’t say...

"I have said everything I should say. I am just jealous of Miss Cheng Er. I didn't know this medicine was so powerful. As for the rest, I don't know anything."

Luan An curled his lips and smiled, his voice could be described as gentle: "Don't want to talk about it now? Looks like you're going to suffer a little."

After saying that, he raised his hand, and two of his men stepped forward, carrying Ji Yun out.

"Let me go! I am the daughter of an important official of the imperial court. Let me go. I want to see my father! I want to see my father..."

Cheng Zongyang didn't want to make enemies, so he took a step forward.

Chu Heng's eyes immediately fell on him: "Prime Minister, you don't want to seek justice for your daughter, but I don't want my future princess to be wronged. This matter has nothing to do with you. If Lord Ji wants to blame, just let him come to me."

Cheng Zongyang cupped his hands: "I dare not."

Chu Wan and Zhu Jin, who had hurried over, heard Chu Heng's domineering words and almost screamed.

Zhu Jin walked up to Cheng Jiuyuan, nudged Cheng Jiuyuan with his elbow, and looked joking.

Cheng Jiuyuan looked at Chu Heng, and her heart felt warm as if it was soaked in warm water.

After a night of tossing and turning, everyone went back to their rooms.

In the room, Cheng Jiuyuan and the others couldn't sleep.

"I heard in the afternoon that the Fifth Prince and Minister Luan had both left. I thought that there was no way to clear up the grievances against you, Yuan'er." Yan Yu sighed.

"That's right. Fifth brother didn't tell me anything at all." Chu Wan said.

Zhu Jin's focus was entirely on the relationship: "Sister Cheng, the Fifth Prince really holds you at the top of his heart and won't let you suffer any grievances."

Then he imitated Chu Heng's tone and said, "'You don't want to seek justice for your daughter, but I don't want my future princess to be wronged.' Oh, so domineering! Right, future princess?"

Chu Wan and Yan Yu laughed out loud.

In the darkness, Cheng Jiuyuan raised the corners of his lips.

"Go to sleep. Classes should resume tomorrow."

……

How could a daughter of an official who was ignorant of the ways of the world be able to defeat the Ministry of Justice in its interrogation methods?

There was no beating or punishment, and before dawn, Ji Yun confessed everything.

As soon as day broke, Prince Gaoyang and his wife rushed to the academy.

Chu Heng, Prince Gaoyang, Cheng Zongyang, the president of the academy, the parents of the four unconscious students, and others stayed in the room for nearly an hour before the door was opened.

At 9 o'clock in the morning, all the students in the academy were present, and the dean announced the truth of the incident.

This matter was attributed to a conflict among students, but it was a serious matter and Chu Yu and Ji Yun had to leave the academy.

Before leaving, Chu Yu publicly apologized to the poisoned students and Cheng Jiuyuan, and the matter was over.

When the show was over, students from Chu Wan's group came forward to apologize to Cheng Jiuyuan.

"Miss Cheng Er, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you before."

"Yes, you are such a nice person, but we misunderstood you..."

Chu Wan snorted coldly: "I already said it wasn't Sister Cheng."

"We were also instigated by Chu Yu and the others."

Fortunately, they took the Fifth Prince and the Prime Minister into consideration and did not say anything harsh to Cheng Jiuyuan.

At this time, students from Chu Yu's team also came over to apologize.

"Second Miss Cheng, we were wrong before. We didn't know the princess would do such a horrible thing."

"Yes, but poisoning and framing a classmate just because of a quarrel is too vicious."

"Cheng Jiuyuan, I'm sorry."

Cheng Jiuyuan smiled and said, "We are all classmates. It is normal to have some fights. I don't blame you."

"That's great, let's go have lunch together."

"Okay."

Wei Pianpian, who was in the distance, looked at Cheng Jiuyuan who was surrounded by the crowd, and a hint of viciousness flashed across his eyes.

But in just a moment, she smiled and walked over.

"Can you add me?"

Everyone's smiles froze for a moment.

Everyone knows that Chu Yu and Wei Pianpian are best friends.

It is hard to say whether Wei Pianpian was behind this incident.

But seeing her smiling harmlessly, thinking that she always treated people with a smile. In the past, when Chu Yu was embarrassing others, Wei Pianpian would sometimes stand up and persuade them, so no one said anything.

Cheng Jiuyuan smiled and said, "You guys go first, I have something else to do."

"OK then."

The crowd dispersed in groups of three or two, leaving only Chu Wan and a few others.

"Sister Cheng, what else do you have to say?"

Cheng Jiuyuan curled her lips.

She didn't blame these students because they had no intention of harming her.

But Chu Yu was an exception. Although Chu Yu was deported, it was just a conflict between students and was lightly covered up. It was really too easy for her.

"Go see off my classmates."

"Ah?" Zhu Jin looked confused.
