Imperial Palace, Palace of the Nurtured Heart.
The Emperor leaned back in his chair, his face very ugly.
Eunuch Huang was waiting with his head hanging low, not daring to breathe.
The eunuch guarding the door hurriedly ran in and saw that the palace maids and eunuchs were waiting outside the hall, and their steps were halted.
The eunuch who was guarding the door looked over and the eunuch who reported the news went over and whispered a few words in his ear.
The emperor is not in a good mood right now, even eunuch Huang does not dare to speak, if he barges in, in case he annoys the emperor, his life will be lost, but if he does not report, the emperor will not be able to forgive him afterwards.
Gritting his teeth, he knocked gently on the door.
Eunuch Huang frowned at the sound, but he also knew that the man he had trained would not call him out at this time if there was no urgent matter.
The young eunuch guarding the doorway leaned in and whispered in his ear, after hearing this, Eunuch Huang’s expression changed for a moment, subconsciously glancing back at the enraged Emperor, then he turned around, walked to the table and bowed, “Your Majesty, the Duke of Ding and Song Si are kneeling outside the palace gate, suing the Capitalist Yin for conniving at the negligence of the people below them.”
His Majesty raised his eyes to look over, the anger in his eyes turning into killing intent as he looked straight at Eunuch Huang.
Even with his head lowered, Eunuch Huang felt it and a cold sweat instantly broke out on his back, he maintained his bowing posture and did not dare to move.
It was a long time before he heard the emperor’s voice gritting his teeth, “Good, very good!”
……
Eunuch Huang came to the palace entrance and raised his shrill voice, “Declare that Duke Ding and Song Si have an audience!”
The two men rose and walked into the palace, holding up their folds.
Xiao Xianfei was still kneeling straight, but her hand holding the handkerchief tightened, she knew her father was doing it for her, but she didn’t want him to do it, it was only two hours, she could hold out.
The two men, Duke Ding and Song Si, came to the Hall of the Nurtured Heart and knelt down, the folders in their hands raised above their heads at the same time. The Ding Guo opened his mouth, his voice thick and reverberating in the hall, “I accuse the capital’s governor of conniving at his men’s negligence, and ask Your Majesty to investigate strictly.”
The emperor stared at him, not speaking.
There was dead silence in the hall.
As if he was unaware of it, the Duke of Determination held his hands steadily aloft over the memorial.
The Emperor’s gaze shifted and fell on Song Si, whose big red wedding robe was covered in blood, obviously Xiao Yao had been hurt badly.
“Present it.”
Eunuch Huang hurriedly came over and took the folders in Duke Ding’s hand and put them on the table, the Emperor opened them and read them once, and ordered, “Declare that the capital’s governor is in the palace!”
……
Looking at Song Si holding Xiao Yao and heading towards the Song family, with the people from the Ding Guo Gong’s residence following, the capital magistrate’s heart was cold, and with a cold voice he told Sheriff Liu to bring back the six people who had died, and had someone go and bring the head of the capital magistrate’s prison over. The six men had been sentenced to death and would be executed at the beginning of spring next year, and they were all under strict supervision during the week.
He sent Sheriff Liu to do so.
Sheriff Liu went quickly and came back quickly, with a bad look on his face, “Your Excellency, the head of the prison has killed himself!”
The capital’s governor’s face changed, “Where is he?”
Sheriff Liu waved his hand and two jailers came over carrying a stretcher on which the head of the prison was lying with a clear strangulation mark on his neck.
“He died by hanging, he was already dead by the time we went over.”
The capital magistrate’s eyes went black and his body shook for a moment, Sheriff Liu hastily held him up, “My lord.”
The Governor of the capital waved his hand feebly and sat down in his chair.
“My lord ……”
A subordinate hurriedly walked in, his voice urgent, “Duke Ding and Song Si are kneeling at the entrance of the palace to present a token, requesting the emperor to strictly investigate you for conniving at your subordinates’ negligence.”
The capital minister did not even have the strength to stand up, and his hand touched his neck a little, which was covered with cold sweat. He knew that he would not be able to keep his official position, and no matter who was behind the incident, the man had escaped from his jail, and he could not escape punishment.
It was only after a long time that he stood up with difficulty, holding on to the back of his chair, straightened his official robe and walked out on wobbly feet.
The decree eunuch was delivering a verbal message, and after listening to it, the capital minister got up from the ground and followed the decree eunuch into the palace before crawling on his knees directly to the ground, “I have failed in my duty, please be punished by Your Majesty!”
A copy of the memorial book slammed down on him and the Emperor’s anger spurted over, “Tell me how this man escaped from the capital’s prison!”
The capital minister did not dare to argue, “I deserve to die!”
“If you deserve to die, go to hell!”
There was a silence in the hall.
Even Eunuch Huang couldn’t help but look up at the Emperor, and when he saw that his Majesty was really permeated with killing intent, he hastily lowered his head again.
“Your Majesty ……”
Ding Guo opened his mouth, his voice echoed in the dead silence of the hall, listening to the capital minister almost burst into tears, “I thought that the ones who deserved to die were the people who managed the main prison in the capital government, they were the ones who had direct contact with the prisoners, the prisoners ran away and they didn’t report it, which led to today’s misfortune for our Xiao and Song families, please also ask your Majesty to investigate strictly.”
The Emperor narrowed his eyes and was about to speak when a small eunuch entered with his head bowed, “Your Majesty, Niang Fei Niang has fainted.”
There was a silence in the Hall of the Raising Heart.
Immediately afterwards, His Majesty rose to his feet, “Summon the Imperial Doctor!”
After saying that, he hurriedly went outside, completely forgetting that there were still three people kneeling in the hall.
As soon as the sound of his footsteps disappeared, the capital minister sat down on the ground, his face pale as he turned back, shaking his lips for a long time before making a sound, “Thank you, Your Majesty, your lordship is generous.”
……
The emperor went out of the Hall of the Nurtured Heart, did not even have time to sit in the sedan chair, quick steps towards the palace entrance, Eunuch Huang trotted behind, the palace maids and eunuchs along the road knelt down, they had been in the palace for many years and had never seen the emperor look like this before.
At the entrance of the palace, a group of palace eunuchs surrounded Consort Xiao Xian, and the fourth prince, with tears in his eyes, eagerly called out to his mother in a loud voice.
There was movement at the palace gate, and the Fourth Prince looked over with teary eyes, frozen as he watched his father run out of the palace gate, panting as he reached them, bending down to pick up his mother consort, turning around and heading into the palace.
Not only he, but also the palace maids and eunuchs froze, and it was only when the Emperor entered the palace gates that they reacted, scrambled to their feet and followed him in.
Halfway to the palace, the eunuchs came running quickly with their medicine boxes, and when they saw such a scene, they also froze in place.
The emperor ran past him with the person in his arms, “Follow!”
The doctor didn’t seem to understand, he froze for a moment before he reacted and jogged to follow.
All the way back to Kunli Palace, the emperor’s dragon robe was soaked through, he carefully placed Consort Xiao Xian on the bed and gestured for the eunuch doctor to come forward.
The doctor, who was shocked, went over and knelt on the floor, opened the medicine chest, took the pulse pillow and placed it on the bed.
After a long while, the doctor withdrew his hand and turned his head to kneel towards the emperor, “Congratulations, Your Majesty, congratulations, Your Highness, Consort Xian is in love!”
