After the queen heard that the prince was reprimanded by the emperor, she sat in the room for half an hour. Finally, she sighed helplessly and did not go to Dayue Palace to plead for the prince, nor did she mention the matter in front of Emperor Yunqing.

It wasn't until she heard that Ban Heng came to the palace to express his gratitude that she had Ban Heng and the prince called to her. Looking at Ban Heng's face, which looked like a pleasant one no matter how he looked at it, the queen unconsciously showed a smile on her face, "I heard that you came to the palace to thank me. What kind of kindness do you want to thank?"

"Wei Chen has met the Queen," Ban Heng saluted the Queen with a smile, "A few days ago, His Highness the Crown Prince asked the palace people to send a lot of good things. The two elders in the family were very grateful for this, so they Let Weichen come into the palace to thank His Highness the Crown Prince. He was supposed to enter the palace two days ago, but he didn't know that Weichen's father had not been well these past two days, so Weichen stayed at home for a few days."

"My family is talking about whether to thank you or not." The queen smiled and turned her head. Seeing the strange expression on the prince's face, she felt a bad premonition in her heart, "Prince, what good things did you give to Mr. Jingting's family?" , is it worth this kid coming in eagerly to thank you?"

"My son..." The prince did not dare to look directly into the queen's eyes, "It is not a rare thing."

The queen's eyes scanned him once, and then she smiled at Ban Heng and said, "Did you hear what the prince said? It's not a rare thing. Why is it worthy of you? If you are so polite next time, I will be angry. ”

Ban Heng smiled sheepishly when he heard this: "This time because of my father's affairs, Your Majesty is so tired and troublesome. The matter also involves..." He glanced at the prince and swallowed his words in embarrassment, " If he had known that things would get so big, Wei Chen would have tried to persuade his family."

"What are you advising?" The queen glanced at the prince and said in a cold tone, "If you do something wrong, you should be punished. You are relatives of this palace and His Majesty. These bold people dare to make plans. If you don't do it, Stop it, sooner or later they will be able to plot against me and His Majesty."

The prince looked a little unnatural when he heard this, but the queen seemed not to notice anything wrong with his expression and only said: "You must never say such things to me again in the future, or I will be angry with you. ”

Ban Heng was not good at making other girls happy, but after staying with his mother and sister for a long time, he improved his ability to make girls happy, so he made the queen smile in a short time, forgetting that the prince was still there. As if present.

The prince is a person with a gentle personality. When he saw the queen treating him like this, he didn't feel any resentment in his heart. He was just thinking about what he had done to make the queen unhappy.

Previously, he was willing to help the Shi family plead for this favor because he heard the statement given to him by the Crown Princess and felt that the Shi family was indeed innocent.

However, in the past few days, he had thought carefully in his study. Although it was possible that the Shi family had been wronged, there was also the possibility of lying. The Crown Princess said that her sister was a weak woman who only knew poetry and painting. However, after he sent someone to inquire, he found that the Crown Princess' sister was not what she said.

Having had affairs with multiple men, she even had an affair with Huahua's former fiancé. Now that Huahua is engaged to Cheng Anbo, there are rumors that she is attracted to Cheng Anbo. This made the prince have to suspect that Miss Shi Er had evil intentions and was even deliberately targeting Huahua. Otherwise, why didn't she choose among so many men in the capital, but she was always involved with the man who was engaged to Huahua?

The most important thing is that even the second brother went out of his way to see her on his wedding day. What kind of charm is this to make the second brother abandon his bride? In the past, the second brother always had trouble with Huahua, and even deliberately bullied Huahua. Could it be that he did this because he listened to the words of the second sister of the Crown Princess?

The human mind is very strange. When one determines something, even if it is unreasonable, he will automatically complete it and make it reasonable.

Some of the recent behaviors of the Crown Princess have made the Prince dissatisfied, but he has a soft personality and misses old friendships, so he has always kept this dissatisfaction deep in his heart. It is possible that even he himself is not aware of this dissatisfaction. It wasn't until this time that he was reprimanded by his father because of the Shi family's affairs that he suddenly came to his senses. Many of the things and decisions he was doing now had the shadow of the Shi family behind them, so much so that he had developed a habit. When I have something to do, I like to ask my father-in-law for a few words, and then make decisions based on his suggestions.

But his father-in-law is only his father-in-law after all, not his father. In this world, the surname is Jiang and not Shi. No wonder his father is so disappointed in him.

To understand this, after seeing Ban Heng, the prince couldn't help feeling guilty towards the Ban family. Not to mention that the queen was snubbing him in front of Ban Heng now. Even if Ban Heng scolded him, he would not reply.

After Ban Heng sat in the Queen's Palace for half an hour, he stood up and said goodbye. As a son-in-law, it would be inappropriate for him to stay in the harem for too long. The queen couldn't keep him, so she asked the palace servants around her to **** him out of the palace.

After Ban Heng left, the queen's face darkened.

"Prince."

"Mother," the prince bowed his head and stood in front of the queen, his face full of guilt.

Seeing her son like this, the queen was angry and distressed, "You, you, you."

"I have let my mother down, and I know my mistake." The prince held the queen's hand, "I just ask my mother not to be so angry."

"You should change your temper," the queen patted the back of his hand and sighed, "You are the prince and the future emperor, how can you not even manage the affairs of your own backyard? The Ban family accepts Did you send the generous gift, or did the Crown Princess send it in your name?"

"It's...the Crown Princess."

"It's all my mother's fault. When she saw that Shi was dignified and well-known, she felt that she was the best candidate for the crown princess. Who knew she was so confused..." The queen said this, and then Sighing several times, "This matter must not be spread outside, let alone let others know that it was the Crown Princess who did it. She is confused, but you cannot be confused. This thing is a gift from you, and it can only be a gift from you, do you understand?"

"My son has written it down."

"No one can worry," the queen rubbed her forehead, "Please step back."

"Mother, I see that you don't look very well. Why don't you let the imperial doctor take your pulse?" The prince saw that the queen looked tired and felt even more guilty. "Otherwise, I will feel uneasy."

"It's okay, it's all old problems." The queen shook her head gently, "You and your brother should be less angry with me, and I won't have any problems anymore."

"Yes."

The prince returned to the East Palace and saw that the **** serving the prince had been looking at the door of the study. Remembering what his mother said, he lowered his face and said to the palace servants behind him: "Catch the little **** who is looking around and give him ten strokes of the cane. ”

"Your Highness, that is the Crown Princess..."

"Does what Gu said have no effect?"

"Yes!"

In the years since the prince and the princess have been married, the prince has no children, and the prince has never embarrassed the prince in the slightest. However, this time, the princess' face may not be saved.

However, a shameless princess is also a princess. Those of them who are palace servants have no choice but to be obedient.

Soon, memorials to impeach Shi Chonghai began to appear in the previous court. The Stone Party members were looking for a way out. How was this panic look different from the strict Party members when the Yan family lost power last year? It's a pity that Yan Hui's lessons did not teach them to keep a low profile. Instead, Yan Hui lost power and became more complacent and arrogant, which finally caused today's trouble.

How could Shi Chonghai admit to the crime of buying a murderer to assassinate the Duke of the imperial court, so the two sides have been quarreling with each other, but life has indeed become difficult for the Shi family, and even Shi Chonghai and Shi Jin temporarily went home to "recuperate" .

In the prison of Dali Temple, Shi Feixian did not suffer much torture except for losing his freedom and having trouble bathing and washing. The guards guarding the prison were polite to her. Although the food was not particular in taste, it was clean and edible. They did not even stop people from the prime minister's residence from visiting her. She was almost the most favored person in the entire prison.

This was somewhat different from Shi Feixian's expectation. She thought that Rong Xia would deliberately make things difficult for her because of Banhua's relationship. But after these days, she realized that her thoughts were too mean. If Rong Xia had been cruel to her, she might have felt even more uncomfortable, but he just never appeared in front of her again, as if she, like the other prisoners in Dali Temple, was not worthy of another look from him.

"Miss Shi," the cell leader came over and saluted her politely, "your mother is here to see you."

"Mother?" Shi Feixian raised his head and stood up excitedly after seeing Mrs. Shi, "Mother!"

"Child," Mrs. Shi looked at her haggard daughter, walked to the cell door distressedly, and grabbed her daughter's hand through the fence, "Child, you have suffered."

The mother and daughter held hands and looked at each other with tears in their eyes. After a good cry, Mrs. Shi began to talk about some trivial matters at home, such as the fact that the princess was rejected by the emperor, and the prime minister was struggling in the court and could only stay at home temporarily. Recuperate. The censor is aggressive. In the past, those stone gangsters were just outsiders, and there were only a few who could really use him.

Shi Feixian listened to her mother's complaints and looked at her arms, which had not been maintained for a long time and had become dull. She calmed down little by little because of the excitement that arose after seeing her mother.

"Is this what mother came here to tell her daughter about?" Her voice was trembling, and she let go of Mrs. Shi's wrist.

"Child..." Mrs. Shi looked at her daughter, and the words turned around in her mouth countless times, but she still couldn't come out.

"Does mother want me to bear the sin alone?" Shi Feixian's eyes were filled with tears, but he showed a sarcastic smile, "I have a bad reputation now, and even if I get out, I can only find a useless man to marry me. I can't help but implicate the entire Shi family. Why don't I take the blame, and my father, eldest sister, and brother will not be implicated, don't you think?"

Mrs. Shi covered her mouth and cried bitterly, shaking her head, but she didn't know what to say.

"But I haven't done this. As family members, shouldn't you seek justice for me?" Shi Feixian's voice became sharp, "Just like Mr. Jingting did, whoever bullied his daughter will go to No matter how bad your daughter's reputation is, you must protect her from being wronged at all. This is what parents and family members should do, isn't it?"

Mrs. Shi was lying on the fence, crying so hard that she was out of breath. She didn't dare to look at her daughter's face, and she didn't have the nerve to face her daughter.

"I understand," Shi Feixian looked at Mrs. Shi who was crying and wiped the tears from her face with the back of her hand, "You go."

"Child..."

"Don't worry, this sin... I will bear it." Shi Feixian turned his back and stopped looking at Mrs. Shi, his voice trembling, "Just think of it as a daughter repaying her parents for their kindness in raising her."

"I don't want to, I don't want to either," Mrs. Shi cried and beat her chest, "I am useless as a mother, I can't protect you."

Shi Feixian looked at the dust accumulated over the years on the wall, crying so hard that his whole body trembled, but he was still unwilling to look back at Mrs. Shi.

One day later, Da Yue Palace.

The minister of Dali Temple paid a great tribute to Emperor Yunqing.

"Your Majesty, Miss Shi has recruited."

"What did she say?"

The Minister of Dali Temple presented the confession with both hands, bowed and replied: "Miss Shi admitted that out of jealousy, she did not want Princess Fule to marry Cheng Anbo, so she wanted to hire an assassin to assassinate the Duke of Jingting. It’s just that the Prime Minister’s Mansion has very strict discipline and will never allow her daughter to do such a heinous thing, so she can only find a few bold gangsters in private and let them assassinate Princess Fule. It just happened to be She couldn't find a suitable opportunity in those few days, so she changed her plan and asked those gangsters to attack Duke Jingting, so that Princess Fule would have to observe filial piety for three years, and she would not be able to marry Cheng Anbo during these three years."

"Oh?" Emperor Yun Qing put down the memorial in his hand and said with a deep expression, "Then did she say how she met the servants of Prince Hui's house?"

"Miss Shi said that she didn't know that this man was a servant of Prince Hui's palace, and only thought that he was the middleman who introduced the killer."

The Minister of Dali Temple felt that this reason was a bit far-fetched. Miss Shi obviously wanted to take the blame on everyone so as not to implicate the Shi family.

He thought that His Majesty would not believe such a poor reason, but he did not expect that Your Majesty did not refute, just asked him to put down his confession and let him go.

Before leaving Dayue Palace, he couldn't help but think that the emperor probably still wanted to protect the prince, so he didn't pursue the matter further.

A few days later, the truth about the attack on Mr. Jingting came to light. The reason was actually the woman's jealousy. After this incident, Cheng'an Bo Rong Junpo's reputation spread throughout the world, because a man who can make women in the boudoir jealous and murder must be very outstanding and charming.

For a time, Rong Xia's popularity in the capital did not decrease but increased. If he hadn't been engaged to someone, I'm afraid that the flowers, handkerchiefs, fruits and other things that the women would still give him every day would have buried him. stand up.

When Shi Chonghai learned that his daughter had committed this serious crime, he not only wept in front of the emperor and begged for punishment, but also went to Ban's house to plead guilty. This behavior of not protecting his daughter and having the courage to admit his mistakes won praise from some scholars. .

Not to mention this, Shi Chonghai even asked to resign. He believed that he had not been strict with his daughter and had no face to hold the position of Prime Minister. The emperor was moved by his sincere attitude and stated that he should not be responsible for the mistakes his daughter committed. In the world, there is only a father's debt to the son, and there is no such thing as a son's debt to the father. The final result was that Shi Chonghai was fined five thousand taels of silver, and personally held an apology banquet to make amends to Duke Jingting, and his salary was suspended for half a year.

Shi Chonghai had no objection at the moment, and held a grand apology banquet the next day, not only inviting Ban Huai as a guest, but also invited many famous people to be guests.

This move won him a lot of praise.

When Ban Huai arrived with his son and daughter, there were already many people in the restaurant. Although the banquet was placed on the second floor, there were many people watching the fun in the lobby below. Everyone was waiting for the reaction of Ben's family.

Ban Hua looked at the excited scholars downstairs, hummed slightly and then looked away.

Seeing the people downstairs staring at his sister like wolves, Ban Heng squeezed to the side of the stairs and blocked Banhua inside.

"Mr. Jingting!" When Shi Chonghai saw Ban Huai, before he could say a few words, his eyes turned red, and he bowed his head to Ban Huai, "I am really ashamed that I am not strict with my daughter. I am really ashamed. I can hardly see you."

Ban Huai glanced around at the guests watching the fun, avoided Shi Chonghai's gift, and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, you still saw it, didn't you? But although your daughter didn't teach her well, luckily I'm lucky. , saved a life."

After saying this, he panted and sat down on the chair next to him, and said with some embarrassment: "Let you all see the joke, I am a bit timid. This incident scared me to the point of illness. .I didn’t want to go out today, but I thought that if I didn’t come today, Mr. Shi would be in trouble, so I had to come. It’s just that I’m not in a good state of mind. If I’m rude in any way, please forgive me. ."

After hearing this, everyone was concerned about Ban Huai's physical condition. There was a lot of chatter and excitement.

Shi Chonghai kept smiling beside him and saying apologies, but many people were busy trying to please Ban Huai, and for a while no one cared about what he did.

Banhua was not in the mood to watch this farce, but turned around and met Shi Jin's eyes. Their eyes met in the air, and Banhua remained silent. Shi Jin hesitated for a moment, walked to a place two steps away from Banhua and stood still, "How are you, Princess?"

"My father is ill. As a daughter, how can I get better?" Banhua said in a slightly calm tone, "Is there something wrong, Mr. Shi?"

Shi Jin bowed to her and remained silent.

Banhua turned to look at his father who was sitting in the distinguished guest seat, "Master Shi, is Miss Shi okay?"

"My sister-in-law committed a heinous crime and was sentenced to serve fifteen years in Dali Temple." Shi Jin fell silent. There was nothing to say between him and Ban Hua.

"Served where?"

After a while, Shi Jin heard Banhua ask this. He raised his head in surprise and saw that there was not much anger on Banhua's face, so he replied, "Xizhou."

"Xizhou is far away, bitterly cold, windy and sandy. How can your sister endure the climate there?" Banhua lowered her eyelids and spoke a little softer, "Why not change to a place with a better climate?"

"If you make a mistake, you should be punished. The Shi family does not dare to complain." Shi Jin lowered his head and did not look into Banhua's eyes.

"Of course you have nothing to complain about," Banhua was a little tired of the Shi family. Although she had a grudge against Shi Feixian, if Shi Feixian really had nothing to do with her father's attack, she had no desire to wish him to die.

But the Shi family is more open-minded than an outsider like her. If she talks more nonsense, she will become annoying.

Shi Chonghai served Ban Huai an apology tea that day, and Ban Huai drank it with a calm expression. Just when the banquet was about to officially begin, Ban Huai suddenly turned pale and fainted. They were so frightened that they quickly called for a doctor, only to find out that he was still very weak and could not work too hard at all.

So we stopped eating the banquet and everyone sent Ban Huai home. After walking out of Ban's house, he looked back and thought, did Ban Huai accept Shi Chonghai's apology or not?

Whether you accept it or not, the matter ends like this. On the surface, both Shi Chonghai and Yan Hui are still prime ministers, and their status has not been affected. However, in fact, both families have lost their former glory. Not only are they no longer in glory, they also live a life of walking on thin ice.

Since then, there has been no such thing as a "Stone Party" or a "Strict Party" in the DPRK. But beneath the surface of this peaceful land, there seems to be an undercurrent lurking. Just waiting for someone to uncover it, it will turn the world upside down and change the color of the world.

On the third day after Shi Chonghai apologized to Ban Huai, Shi Feixian put on shackles and a headband, and sat in a wooden cart with a group of female prisoners who were also sent to Xizhou.

The narrow and dilapidated wooden car was full of strange smells. The women in the car looked at her and couldn't understand how much crime such a delicate daughter had committed to be sent to that place in Xizhou. A bitter cold place?

The eldest woman in the carriage looked to be in her late forties, but was actually in her early thirties. She killed her husband and mother-in-law, who had been fighting with her all day long, but because she saved an official's daughter when she was young, she gained some favor, so she was not sentenced to death, but was sentenced to exile.

She couldn't help but said to Shi Feixian: "Girl, what have you committed?"

"Me?" Shi Feixian stared blankly at the woman with a vicissitudes of face before him, and then said after a while, "I was born in the wrong child and did the wrong thing."

The wooden carriage was nailed tightly around, leaving only a few small holes for the people in the carriage to breathe. Listening to the lively noise outside, she couldn't help but think in a daze that this was probably what she was doing. It was the last time in my life to hear the bustling sound of the capital city.

In Xizhou, there was strong wind and sand, little rain, and the fiery sun was enough to burn her skin. She didn't know if she could survive it.

After the wooden cart left the city, family members of the prisoners came to deliver clothes on both sides of the road. Some cried and some kowtowed. However, because the yamen escorting the prisoners took their money, they turned a blind eye to this situation. .

Except for Shi Feixian, all the female prisoners in the car got things prepared by their relatives, including the woman who asked her just now.

She bent over and sat in the narrow wooden car, looking at the separation of life and death outside the car, her face numb to the extreme.

"Miss Shi." A guard on horseback chased out of the city, carrying a large bundle in his hand.

Shi Feixian's eyes lit up, but after seeing the guard's appearance clearly, the light in her eyes disappeared. She had never seen this person before, and he was definitely not from the Shi family.

"My master said that the mountains are high and the roads are far away. From now on, we are separated by worlds. Let's wipe out the past grudges and cherish them." The guard thrust the bundle into Shi Feixian's hand and said in a flat voice, "Please accept this bundle, girl."

"Wait a minute," Shi Feixian held a corner of the bag and looked at the ordinary-looking guard, "Who is your master?"

The guard saluted: "I'm sorry that I can't answer your question. I'll take my leave!"

Shi Feixian dragged the huge baggage and looked at the back of the guard riding away in trance. Soon the other female prisoners were put back into the wooden cart. They all began to look through the bundles prepared by their families, eager to know what was inside. Only Shi Feixian held on to the bundle and did not move.

She didn't know what was inside, and she wasn't very interested in knowing. It might be something that cursed her, even a dead rat or cockroach.

She has always known that some young ladies in the capital are secretly jealous of her, but she knows even better that because of the relationship between her father and her sister, even if these people are jealous, they don't dare to show it in front of her, and even go to great lengths to show it. Thoughts on pleasing her.

And those so-called admired men have long been hiding away. Not even her family wanted to get involved with her, let alone these men.

"Girl, the material of your baggage is really good," said a female prisoner. "It will last for many years without breaking."

Under the expectant gazes of these people, Shi Feixian gritted his teeth and began to reach out to unpack this baggage.

She wanted to know who, with whom she had a grudge, dared to give her something at this juncture. How could she have the courage to do something that even the Shi family didn't dare to do.

The baggage was untied, and there were no dead mice or dirty things inside. There were only a water bag, a few sets of inconspicuous four-season clothes, a bag of dry food, and a small purse. She reached out and pinched it. Possibly copper coins and broken silver.

The female prisoner in the car looked at the baggage in Shi Feixian's hand with envy. The things in it were really well prepared, not to mention the clothing materials. Even women's underwear and the things they needed every month were prepared. It can be seen that the person who prepared the baggage put a lot of thought into it.

We are separated by the world, and the grudges will be wiped out from now on.

How many of the people who have really had a grudge against her have the courage to arrange for escorts to deliver these things?

Things that she would never have looked at in the past have now become the only things she has. Her family, her friends, and the men who loved her all avoided her like a snake or a scorpion, but this person actually did something that others didn't dare to do.

After a while, her vision blurred, and tears slid down her cheeks and fell on the baggage.
