Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country

As everyone knows, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince had a huge fight over the position of the Ministry of War. Emperor Ming couldn't stand it anymore, so he placed a neutral official in the position.

Unexpectedly, the Second Prince was not going to give up and was so brazen as to chase Nan Rongjing to get information, making even the chief of the Yulin Guard avoid him!

How much he must have gone too far!

Emperor Ming's face suddenly darkened when he heard this. The death of a guard was no longer important. How could the Second Prince actually want to deal with the people he had planted? !

This is a contempt for the authority of Emperor Ming!

Emperor Ming looked at Nan Heying with gloomy eyes. Nan Heying's thighs trembled and he immediately knelt down.

Nan Rongjing curled his lips into a smile that no one else could see, and continued to add fuel to the fire.

"And at the same time that Princess Shuyi met the Second Prince, I saw Hu Ruzhen sneaking out of the back window of the Gongfang!"

"What! You're talking nonsense. I've never been to the bathroom!"

Hu Ruzhen looked at Nan Rongjing in disbelief. She had never expected that the leader of the Yulin Guard, who had always been impartial, would actually lie for Lin Yushu!

In order to protect Lin Yushu, he actually deceived the emperor!

The blood in her chest kept surging, and Hu Ruzhen spat out a mouthful of blood.

"I didn't expect that Miss Hu, who looked so weak, could actually kill a royal guard."

"Of course it can't be her. Who else is there outside Gongfang that you don't know?"

"Second Prince?"

"I'm afraid that the Second Prince and Hu Ruzhen sneaked out while everyone was drinking at the palace banquet... and were caught by an unlucky guard."

"You're right, I heard that the Second Prince's favorite concubine Hu is his cousin. It seems that the Second Prince favors his cousin."

……

For a moment, the ladies around were talking about it.

Normally they would never dare to criticize the princes, but today the Second Prince had obviously angered Emperor Ming, and the people in the Crown Prince's party took this opportunity to desperately attack the Second Prince in secret.

Concubine Hu was so angry that her mouth was crooked. Just as she was about to say something for Nan Heying, Emperor Ming's voice suddenly rang out.

"Hu Ruzhen falsely accused Princess Shuyi of murder, committing an act of subversion and immorality. She shall be flogged fifty times and sentenced to confinement in Jing'an Hall to reflect on her mistakes."

"The Second Prince failed to distinguish true from false and nearly aided the tyrant. He will return home to reflect on his mistakes. He will not be required to attend court for the next two months."

Fifty lashes!

When being whipped, the prisoner had to take off his outer clothes and only wear his undergarments. He would then be tied to a rack and tortured. One whip would not only tear the skin on his back, but also tear his clothes to pieces.

After fifty lashes, Hu Ruzhen would not only lose half her life, but everyone would also see her body covered in wounds and naked after being tortured.

This is worse than making women suffer from death by beating in court!

Moreover, she was sentenced to confinement in a nunnery, and Emperor Ming did not even say how long the punishment would last. Wouldn't that mean she would be trapped in the nunnery for the rest of her life as a nun? !

Hu Ruzhen fainted on the spot.

Two Yulin guards carried the unconscious Hu Ruzhen and dragged her to the front of the palace for punishment.

"Your Highness, I failed to observe this matter. I am willing to accept the punishment. Thank you for your grace, Father!"

Nan Heying kowtowed heavily to His Majesty, with no resentment on his face, only annoyance and regret.

Tsk, you pretend quite well.

"After listening to Hu Ruzhen's words, the Second Prince decided that I was the murderer and didn't even check who the deceased was. I think he trusted Hu Ruzhen and they had a very strong friendship."

Lin Yushu calmly talked to Nan Heying.

If he did not admit that he treated Hu Ruzhen specially, then his actions just now would make him suspected of colluding with Hu Ruzhen to frame Lin Yushu.

Now that Lin Mingyue has made great military achievements and is about to return to Beijing, why is he attacking Lin Yushu at this moment?

Everyone at the scene could guess it.

Emperor Ming had naturally thought of this a long time ago, and at this moment his face was as gloomy as a thundercloud.

"I trusted Zhen'er too much. I was anxious and didn't check the facts. I feel so ashamed of County Lady Shuyi! Please forgive me!"

Nan Heying thought quickly and immediately changed her name to "Zhen'er".

He would rather admit that he had an affair with Hu Ruzhen than let Emperor Ming suspect that after he failed to win over Lin Mingyue, he tried to kill her daughter to silence her.

But at this moment, Nan Heying felt so disgusted that not only did she have to bow her head and apologize to Lin Yushu, but she also had to publicly admit that she had an affair with the idiot Hu Ruzhen!

In all these years of being a prince, he had never felt as cowardly as he did today!

"Okay, let's all back down!"

Emperor Ming did not intend to investigate Nan Heying's fault further. If the matter was investigated further, it would become a royal scandal, so it had to end here.

Everyone left one after another, and the New Year Palace Banquet ended abruptly.

On the way out of the palace, Lin Yushu couldn't help but hold Nan Shuning's hand and looked at her carefully.

"Are you okay?"

"Thanks to you for sending Leng Dai over, I'm fine."

Nan Shuning recounted in detail what had just happened in the sedan chair, and Princess Pingyang raised her eyebrows in anger.

"What a good Second Prince, what a good Hu Ruzhen, they actually dared to attack the princess in the palace. Do they really think that I, the eldest princess, am dead?!"

"It's all my fault. They were obviously trying to deal with me, but they ended up getting you into trouble."

"Shu'er, you don't have to feel guilty for the evil things others have done. If it weren't for you, something would have really happened to Shu Ning today."

Listening to Princess Pingyang's comforting words, Lin Yushu lowered her head guiltily.

In fact, she guessed that the reason why Nan Heying chose Nan Shuning was not only because she was good friends with Nan Shuning.

Also because Nan Heying could guess Emperor Ming's thoughts, he knew that Princess Pingyang and Nan Shuning were actually like mascots in Emperor Ming's heart and were not actually taken seriously at all.

But he forgot that Emperor Ming was not the only one in power in the palace!

On the second day of the first lunar month, when the concubines in the harem were paying homage to the Queen Mother, Concubine Hu accidentally broke one of her beloved eight-treasure vases.

The empress dowager, who had never interfered in the management of the harem for many years, was so furious that she directly took away Concubine Hu's power to assist in the management of the six palaces, and punished her to go to the Taoist hall in the palace to copy scriptures and pray for blessings.

The incident of the New Year's Eve palace banquet, coupled with the empress dowager's swift and decisive actions, instantly made everyone inside and outside the court understand that the empress dowager was not incapable of managing the harem, but just did not want to.

In the Bixiao Courtyard, Lin Yushu was fiddling with the medicine in the medicine jar while listening to Cuizhu and Shilan reporting the news inside and outside the courtyard.

The general's mansion was peaceful and quiet. Lin Yushu knew that the second wife and the old lady did not dare to attack her again because her father and brother were about to return to the capital after their meritorious service.

As for what happened in the capital and the Queen Mother's punishment of the harem, it was also something that Lin Yushu had expected.

I'm afraid Nan Heying is regretting it so much now. His mother has lost the right to assist in managing the six palaces, which means he has lost a great arm in the harem.

After this incident, Nan Heying really lost both the wife and the army.

"Oh, Miss, Zhuzi replied that Nanny Li's son Chen San has joined the game and now owes nearly a thousand taels of gambling debt. Someone threatened to chop off his hands if he didn't pay back the money. Now he has gone to Nanny Li's farm in the suburbs of Beijing. I think he is going to ask Nanny Li for money."

Lin Yushu nodded with satisfaction. Chen San, the son of Nanny Li, worked in the general's mansion and was used to bullying men and women.

In the past year, more than a dozen servants in the yard were bullied by him, and one almost jumped into a well to commit suicide.

As a result, she was stopped by Nanny Li, who found an excuse to drive the maid out of the house.

It is easy to lure someone like Chen San into the gambling house.

"Keep an eye on the pillar."

"Yes."

Counting the days, King Zhao will marry Lin Xuehui in a month.
