The Favoured Medical Princess: 690 Innocence

www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!

Compared with what Zhu Yushi reported, what the officials said afterwards was nothing more than trivial matters. The officials also knew that the emperor was in a bad mood, so they simply suppressed some things and did not mention them. After a while, the morning court broke up.

On weekdays, after going to court, some ministers would talk to Nangong Qin for a few words, but today, everyone was afraid of him.

In all dynasties, cheating in imperial examinations has been a taboo.

They all know very well that this time, no matter whether the fraud case is true or not, and no matter whether Nangong Qin is innocent or not, once the candidates make a fuss and cause chaos, in order to give the candidates an explanation, Nangong Qin, as the examiner, It's hard to escape the blame, at least it could be dismissed from office and exiled, or at worst... the whole Nangong family might not be able to save it!

The ministers had different thoughts. Some were gloating about the misfortune, some felt compassion, some were surprised and doubtful, and some could not help but feel sad that the rabbit was dead and the fox was dead...

Nangong Qin was not in the mood to care about what others thought. After going to court, he went directly back to his house and asked someone to call Nangong Mu into his study. After sending the servants away, he told what happened in the morning Said everything.

Of course Nangong Mu believed that his brother would never engage in malpractice for personal gain, but he also understood the seriousness of this matter. There was a look of horror on his face, and thousands of thoughts suddenly came to his mind.

It may come out of nowhere, but it may not be without reason.

If there is really fraud in Enke this time, then only a few people will have the opportunity to do it. However, this time the deputy chief examiner Mr. Li also comes from a noble family and has a clear official reputation.

And if there is no fraud, then obviously someone must be deliberately provoking the candidates to target the Nangong family...

What Nangong Mu thought of, Nangong Qin also thought about it along the way.

He took a deep breath and said: "Second brother, I suspect that the last time I reported to the emperor to change the test questions was leaked, which is why it caused such a huge disaster for the family."

Nangong Mu suddenly realized and murmured: "What do you mean, brother?"

Nangong Qin said calmly: "My Nangong family is afraid that I will offend the two princes and become a thorn in their side. If my prediction is correct, this matter must not be resolved. ”

After the emperor failed to defeat the courtiers and delayed the date of the temple festival, even the neutral courtiers became a little shaky, and the fifth prince's power became weaker as a result. Under such circumstances, the Nangong family, who always stood by the fifth prince, naturally became more eye-catching.

Nangong Qin was entrusted with the important task of Enke's examiner this time. Originally, the emperor wanted to use this to give the fifth prince some help, but now it has become a good opportunity for the two princes to get rid of the Nangong family.

Nangong Qin’s right hand on the armrest clenched into a fist unconsciously, and his expression became more and more serious, "Now that things have come to this, second brother, we must make plans early. Make arrangements to send Brother Heng to southern Xinjiang. Entrust it to Yue'er, if there is an emergency, you can also save some blood for our Nangong family."

Nangong Heng is the eldest grandson of Nangong Qin, and the only child of this generation of the Nangong family. If it really comes to the point of causing disaster to the entire family, he must be protected.

Nangong Mu's pupils shrank, knowing that his eldest brother would say these words, he was really prepared for the worst.

He stood up and agreed solemnly: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely arrange this matter properly."

If the bloodline of the Nangong family is cut off in their hands, then the two brothers will be the sinners of the Nangong family. How will they face their ancestors under Jiuquan in the future? !

Nangong Qin slightly chinned his head and said happily: "Fortunately, Xin'er and his wife are also in southern Xinjiang now. You should find a way to inform them as soon as possible and tell them not to come back. With the protection of Zhennan Palace, no matter what , you can always save your life."

Nangong Mu responded solemnly.

The atmosphere in the study was heavy. Both brothers knew that this might be a catastrophe that would overturn the entire Nangong family.

At the same time, an undercurrent was already surging in the royal capital. The news that Nangong Qin was impeached for fraud in the morning court quickly spread throughout the royal capital.

The Nangong family is a scholarly family and has a high prestige among literati. Most students are unwilling to believe that such a scumbag could be born in the Nangong family. However, they are also extremely disgusted with imperial examination fraud. From teahouses and restaurants to In the small stalls on the roadside, students can be seen discussing this matter, hoping that the court will get to the bottom of the matter as soon as possible and give the students an explanation.

Immediately afterwards, a student climbed up and shouted, categorically pointing out that the several Gongsheng students on the list were all embroidered pillows. When the students were doubtful, many of them were from the same hometown as these Gongsheng students. Students came forward to respond one after another, and some even found these old articles written by Gongsheng students from previous years...

Especially Huang Hetai's essay in the provincial examination caused an uproar. No one wanted to believe that such a person could actually become a high school student.

More and more evidence shows that there may be some malpractice for personal gain in this case.

After ten years of hard work, who would be willing to fail in all their hard work?

The students were in chaos, running around asking for orders, and everyone was filled with indignation. Gradually, some people suspected that the other tributes who had been selected were cheated and had false reputations. The students from the two sides competed with each other, and smoke broke out.

Early in the morning three days later, a group of students gathered spontaneously and headed towards Gongyuan. The closer they got to Gongyuan, the larger the crowd became. Hundreds of students and the common people who heard the news and came to watch the excitement would lead to The streets of Gongyuan were blocked with water.

It was past half time, with the scorching sun beating down on them, and the students arrived in front of the Gongyuan gate in great force. The guards at the Gongyuan gate were a little frightened when they saw so many people. One of them said in a strong but honest tone: "What are you doing? How dare you Come to Gongyuan to gather people to cause trouble!"

The leader, a Qingpao student wearing a square scarf, stepped forward, bowed and said: "We are not gathering to make trouble, we just want to seek justice."

After a pause, the green-robed student suddenly raised his voice: "Ten years of hard study, just to get a spot on the gold list. My lords, all we ask is that you recheck the test papers and do justice to all the students!"

After saying that, he knelt down directly on the ground with a "plop".

Like a drop of water falling into the lake, ripples appeared. The other students behind him also knelt down one by one. The scene seemed a bit tragic.

The students kneeling on the ground shouted in unison: "Please recheck the test paper!"

"Please recheck the test paper!"

"..."

The requests for orders were like thunder, and all the students' faces were flushed, and the crowd was furious.

The two guards looked at each other, and one of them sighed and advised: "I think you should go back. You are weak and it is useless even if you beg. It is better to go back and review carefully. You missed this Enke, and the next examination. If you continue to make trouble, you will not be able to gain anything. If you are deprived of your honor, it will not be worth the gain!"

When the students heard this, they all looked at each other and felt a little uneasy: Yes, those in power are most afraid of people gathering in crowds to make trouble. With so many students present, it would not be impossible if the imperial court planned to expel a few troublemakers. More than ten years of hard study and the ardent expectations of my family...

The expressions of the students varied, and many began to give up.

At this time, the leading Qingpao student suddenly stood up, and for a moment, all eyes were focused on him.

The students in green robes stared with bloodshot eyes at the two large golden characters on the black plaque:

Gongyuan.

This is the first step for students all over the world to realize their ideals, but it is such a dirty place.

The Qingpao student clenched his fists tightly and roared: "The court is unfair and practices favoritism and malpractice. Dayu is in danger!"

"Brother Deng..."

A brown-robed student behind him wanted to pull his sleeve to persuade him, but it was already a step too late. Deng Juzi suddenly hit the white wall in front of him with the announcement...

Bang!

After a loud noise, only blood spattered on the white wall, splashed on the bright yellow banner, and stained several names with dazzling blood stains. It looked shocking!

Deng Juzi's roar before his death echoed in the ears of all the students: "The court is unfair, practices favoritism and practices fraud, and Da Yu is in danger!",

Students are excited about it...

……

The matter was reported to the court by Zhu Yushi truthfully the next morning, and the whole court was shocked.

Zhu Yushi finally said: "Your Majesty, the cheating and favoritism has chilled the hearts of the students all over the world. Now the students are very angry. Your Majesty, please give justice to the students all over the world!"

The emperor on the throne looked gloomy, but did not express his position immediately.

At this time, another minister came out and said: "Your Majesty, I think what Mr. Zhu said is true. The students in the world are the future pillars of my Dayu, and they are the foundation of my Dayu's prosperity. This is If the matter cannot be explained to all the students, where is the prestige of the imperial court? Dayu is in danger!"

The emperor pondered for a moment. Even if he originally wanted to investigate slowly and carefully, he had to do something now.

At least these angry students must be appeased first.

"According to my decree, Nangong Qin is temporarily detained and the test papers will be reexamined!"

The simple words were sonorous and powerful. When the voice fell, the whole court was silent. No one noticed that Zhu Yushi, who was standing aside with his head bowed, had a proud arc in his mouth.

In less than a stick of incense, the morning meeting ended like this.

After the morning court, Lu Huaining, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, was ordered to lead a group of Jinyi Guards on horseback to Nangong Mansion.

Wherever the Jin Yiwei with bright clothes and angry horses passed by, the people all avoided it. Many people secretly speculated that something bad would happen if the Jin Yiwei came out. This time, no one knew which mansion was going to be unlucky.

Jinyiwei walked through several streets with a clear goal, and soon arrived at Nangong Mansion, surrounding Nangong Mansion with lightning speed.

The servants in the mansion were still unable to figure out the situation, so they could only lead Lu Huaining and several Jinyi guards to Nangong Qin's outer study room with great trepidation.

"Lord Nangong!"

Lu Huaining politely clasped his fists at Nangong Qin who stood up to greet him, then raised the imperial edict in his hand. After reading out the edict, he said, "Please, Mr. Nangong, come with me."

Although the Nangong Mansion seemed to be about to collapse, Lu Huaining did not dare to be too negligent. After all, even if Nangong Qin failed this time, the second young master of the Nangong Mansion was still the grandson-in-law of Princess Yongyang and the son-in-law of the Fifth Prince. Companion reading, not to mention that Nangong Mansion has also produced a Zhennan Prince Concubine! Apart from anything else, Prince Zhennan's temper was such that not even Lu Huaining dared to offend him easily.

What's more, since the serious crime has not yet been determined, Lu Huaining naturally has to show some respect.

Although Nangong Qin didn't know about today's morning meeting, he had already heard about the tragedy that happened in Gongyuan yesterday. He stayed up almost all night, and he vaguely expected this moment to come.

He smiled cheerfully, with a hint of bitterness in his smile: "I will not make it difficult for Mr. Lu..."

He stroked his robe, and as Lu Huaining left, his back was still straight.

But within less than a cup of tea, a group of royal guards came roaring in and roared away.

People in Nangong Mansion were suddenly panicked, and servants immediately went to Rong'an Hall to report Su. Su suddenly fainted, and there was chaos in Rong'an Hall.

Liu Qingqing bravely pinched Su's friend and smelled the salt for her, and Su finally woke up...

Although Su's face was still a little pale, her eyes were still clear. Everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief, including Liu Qingqing.

Liu Qingqing is now the head of the Nangong Mansion. In the past few years, she has established enough prestige in the mansion. She immediately summoned several housekeepers and nuns in the mansion and issued several orders: "...order Go down and don't allow the servants in the house to criticize this matter; if there are any escaped slaves, they will be beaten to death; also, let the concierge close the door to thank guests..."

The housekeepers took the order and left. After scolding a few servants with a cane to scare the monkeys, the house finally calmed down a little, but everyone was unavoidably a little uneasy.

After all, if the master's family is convicted, they will all be sold as official slaves. When the time comes, they will not be able to escape the fate of being separated from their wives and children.

Liu Qingqing was a little exhausted from her work. At this time, a little maid in green trotted into the hall panting. She knelt down and said, "Old madam, eldest mistress, the concubine Bai of Prince Gong's mansion is here."

Bai Muxiao is here? ! Liu Qingqing frowned. She really didn't have a good impression of this cousin of the Bai family.

When she was about to speak, she saw Mrs. Su sitting up with the help of Grandma Wang and Dong'er. She was beaming with joy and said eagerly: "Let cousin come in quickly!" She murmured as if she had found a savior. He murmured to himself, "Xiao'er is a good child, and she has won the favor of Prince Gong over the years. If she can convince Prince Gong to help the boss beg for mercy, then the boss will be fine..."

The little maid in green clothes was about to take the order and leave, but with a look from Liu Qingqing, a woman immediately stopped the little maid.

"Grandma." Liu Qingqing said unhurriedly, "My granddaughter-in-law thinks it is better for Nangong Mansion to close its doors and thank guests at this time."

"Ms. Liu, what did you say?!" Ms. Su was so angry that the veins on her forehead were beating wildly. Liu Qingqing, a grandson-in-law, actually dared to point fingers at her, a grandmother, and act like she was dictating the country? !

Mrs. Su slapped the table angrily and said, "Our Nangong family can't tolerate you making the decision!"

She raised her finger and pointed at the little maid in green clothes. Just as she was about to order her to invite Bai Muxiao in, she saw a familiar slender figure striding towards this side and blurted out, "Sheng'er!"

Nangong Sheng hurried back from the Hanlin Academy after learning what happened in the early morning. Unexpectedly, it was a step too late. Nangong Qin had already been taken away. When he heard that Su Shi had fainted, he hurried to Rong'an Hall again.

As soon as the Su family saw her eldest grandson, she felt like she had a backbone instantly, and she reprimanded Liu Qingqing for all his unfilial acts.

When such a disaster happened in the house, Nangong Sheng could not help but feel uneasy, but he was still calm. After he listened patiently to what Su said, he coaxed: "Grandma, my grandson is useless, let grandma worry about his father. The grandson thinks that now the Nangong family should close its doors and thank guests, so as not to let the emperor think that our Nangong family is afraid of crime and is trying to find ways to reduce the culpability. Grandma, you know your father’s character best and will never do anything for personal gain. Since If my father is innocent, I won’t be afraid of the emperor’s investigation. Once the emperor proves my father’s innocence, everything will be fine.”

Su's brows slightly relaxed. She knew her son's temper best. The boss was the most upright and honest person. He could not tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes and would never engage in malpractice for personal gain.

Yes, what the eldest grandson said makes sense. Those who are clean will be clean. If they mess up their own position and make the emperor suspicious of their Nangong family, wouldn't it be self-defeating? !

Thinking about it, Su finally calmed down a lot.

However, after the ordeal just now, Su was very tired, so she went into the inner room to rest with Dong'er's help.

Nangong Sheng and Liu Qingqing resigned. After the couple walked out of Rongan Hall, they paused and looked at each other with a bitter smile. They both knew that the next step would be a catastrophe for the Nangong family.

As the two walked forward, they clasped their hands together, as if they wanted to draw strength from each other through this action.

Liu Qingqing's expression was calm and calm. She had already figured it out when her father-in-law decided to send Brother Heng away.

Brother Heng was sent to southern Xinjiang. With the kind of person the third sister is, she will definitely take good care of him. Brother Heng is doing well, and he has nothing to worry about.

She turned to look at her husband's handsome profile. The so-called husband and wife meant that they shared the same quilt when they were born, and shared the same acupuncture point when they died. They shared life and death together!

The couple walked slowly towards their yard. At the same time, Bai Muxiao, who was waiting on the carriage outside the corner gate, also learned about the Nangong family's closed door to thank guests.

The little maid who came to deliver the message looked at the black flat-top carriage with some fear, fearing that Concubine Bai would be angry.

Bai Muxiao in the carriage responded calmly, and his voice didn't seem to be a little annoyed at all, and ordered: "Bihen, go back home."

Bihen responded and hurriedly ordered the coachman, and the carriage sped away amidst the coachman's shouts.

Bai Muxiao opened the curtains and looked back.

The gate of Nangong Mansion dozens of feet away was closed, and the courtyard was deserted. Some people passing by were pointing at the door plaque...

Bai Muxiao sneered.

All this is the fault of the Nangong family!

The Nangong family, especially Nangong Qin, dared to humiliate her like this back then. Now this can be considered karma!

Bai Muxiao lowered the curtains and withdrew his gaze. His black eyes were as dark as a deep pool, bottomless darkness.

Bi Hen, who was sitting opposite Bai Muxiao, asked cautiously: "Concubine, what do you think will happen to Mr. Nangong?"

Bai Muxiao said in an almost cold voice: "Since ancient times, examination fraud cases have been a **** storm in the court."

Every fraud case in history has caused a **** storm. As the examiner, Nangong Qin must not be able to get rid of the involvement. It can be said that he is already a dead man!

As long as this fraud case gets bigger and bigger, in order to quell the resentment of the students, not only Nangong Qin will not be able to escape, but also the whole Nangong family will be convicted. They will either be executed or exiled to the frontier...

Once there is no support from the Nangong family, will Nangong Yue still be favored by Xiao Yi "wholeheartedly" like now? ! How would King Zhennan view this imperial concubine whose natal family had fallen into decline?

If Nangong Yue has already given birth to a son and a half, then perhaps the Zhennan Prince and his son will give her some face for the sake of their grandchildren. It is a pity that Nangong Yue is still empty at her knees...

This is probably life!

The corners of Bai Muxiao's lips rose higher and higher, and her chest was filled with unspeakable pleasure!

She really wanted to laugh out loud!

Unconsciously, the atmosphere in the carriage was a bit strange. Bihen glanced at Bai Muxiao quickly and immediately lowered his head, feeling uneasy and frightened in his heart: the girl has really changed.

"Da da da..."

Amidst the regular sound of wheels, the carriage sped towards Prince Gong's Mansion.

After the carriage entered the Prince's Mansion, it stopped at the second gate. Bai Muxiao got out of the carriage with Bihen's help, but was met with a pair of sharp, unkind eyes.

A nun serving beside Princess Chen was already waiting there. The nun stepped forward and looked at her blessing her body respectfully, with a smile on her face. He looked contemptuous and said: "Concubine Bai, please come over."

Bai Muxiao was in a good mood and didn't want to argue with a slave, so she agreed.

Anyway, if Chen asked her to go there, she wouldn't be able to do any tricks. Wasn't it just setting rules? !

She has remembered the humiliation that Mrs. Chen has done to her, and will naturally pay it back to Han Lingfu and Mrs. Chen tenfold and a hundredfold in the future.

Bai Muxiao calmly stroked her dress and followed the nanny to the main courtyard.
