Chapter 18 (9)

Shen Shiyun said, "But if there is no such thing, we must follow the law to show the world. My Qing Dynasty is definitely not a coward who can take responsibility for others." Fulin nodded in praise and said, "It's still Yunfei who understands the truth." He didn't know that Shen Shiyun's inner thoughts were: "It's bad, I'm afraid that things will be bad. Fortunately, I foreseeed it early, so I found the scapegoat Zhenfei in advance. Any guilt that will be blamed on her will be all."

Not long after, two guards carried Chen Xiangxiang into the hall and bowed and said. Chen Xiangxiang this time was very quiet, not crying or making a fuss, and stood calmly. Fulin walked up to her and said quietly: "I have been busy with state affairs for several days and I don't care about you. Now there are people on the street who shouted for you. I have sworn that an innocent person will never let an innocent person die injustice. Now ask you again, can you admit your guilt?" Chen Xiangxiang shook her head, and her eyes showed tenacity. Fulin patted her shoulder and said: "Okay, what kind of injustice do you have? Even if you say it, I will make the decision for you."

Chen Xiangxiang pointed to her throat and waved her hand. Fulin said, "Don't you want to say it? Or do you have any difficulties, and you can't speak out?" Chen Xiangxiang shook her head, pointed a finger at the sky, then pointed to her throat, waved her hand. She raised her head, opened her hands, put it in a bowl shape, pointed behind Fulin, and pointed to her throat. Fulin vaguely guessed some clues and asked deliberately, "Are you thirsty?"

Chen Xiangxiang knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly. Zhenying said anxiously: "Master, don't be deceived by her. No prisoner will admit that he is guilty. Just because she can't speak, she can prove her guilt by making a few gestures. Then the rest of the people followed suit and cut their tongues before committing a crime. Wouldn't they be able to enjoy peace?" Fulin turned halfway and said coldly: "She can't speak? Have you confirmed it? How did the previous confession be recorded?"

Zhenying was speechless. Although she was the mastermind of Shen Shiyun's use of poison, she was holding Chen Xiangxiang's nose and pouring it into her hands. If it was not covered up, the emperor was concerned about his old love and executed him, but only drove Shen Shiyun into the cold palace. After three or five years, he thought about her good deeds and pardoned her sins. It would be too unfair to himself. Shen Shiyun stepped forward a few steps, and just glanced at Chen Xiangxiang at the corner of Fulin's eyes, and she looked down at Chen Xiangxiang, showing a mocking smile, and said, "When I was recording the confession, I was also present, and I could speak when I saw her."

Fulin said, "You mean she is pretending to be mute? What's the benefit?" Shen Shiyun smiled and said, "The emperor is wise. The female criminal raised her hand and pointed at the sky just now, showing unwillingness. In my foolish opinion, she wanted to say that she was not born to be mute, but gave a traitor who had ulterior motives to the treacherous villain." Chen Xiangxiang was stunned, unable to understand how Shen Shiyun confessed to the crime in front of the emperor, but always felt that this matter was not that simple. Fulin pondered, "You are right, but who would she threaten if she could speak?"

Shen Shiyun said: "Then I have to ask the emperor to think that the devils of the Jiying Sect are cruel and ruthless. Perhaps when they saw their accomplices being arrested, they were worried that she would not bear torture and force confessions and revealing the secrets in the sect will be detrimental to herself, so it is reasonable to make her unable to speak first." Fulin frowned and said: "Impossible? This witch is the daughter of the leader of the Demon Sect. How dare the disciples of the church be so rude to her? "

Shen Shiyun smiled slightly and said, "It's all in the past. She used to be a young lady, but now she is just a prisoner in the palace. She will be executed in a few days. The rebels are best at changing their minds. Who would have spared time to respect her? Then again, I heard that the leader of the Demon Sect is partial and favored by the young master Jiang Liechen and the Lord of the Fallen Heaven Hall, and this daughter has no place in the sect."

Fulin nodded and said, "This is also true. You have a clear understanding of the internal internal of the Shadow Sect." Shen Shiyun said, "Zhan is aware of yourself and your enemy. Since I want to completely wipe out the Demon Sect, I naturally have to know the bottom of all the situations." Fulin said, "Concubine Yun's vision is indeed thoughtful..."

Seeing that Shen Shiyun easily turned the situation around, Chen Xiangxiang finally shed tears in her eyes. She suddenly stood up and rushed to the table, grabbed a brush, and waved it randomly. Fulin said, "You can write? That's the best! Where are you here, the pen and ink serve." Then several personal soldiers brought the four treasures of the study, dipped the tip of the pen and filled it with ink, and presented it with both hands. Fulin handed it to Chen Xiangxiang, and said, "I will give you a chance to reprint your confession. Write down everything you want to say."

Chen Xiangxiang was so grateful that she took the pen and wrote it on the paper stroke by stroke. Zhenying's heart fell heavily, and hurriedly stopped her for a few steps, saying, "Your Majesty, do you believe in whatever she writes? You have to do it every day, and she keeps writing endlessly. I don't know how long it will take to write. Please go and rest first. Here... it's enough to have me and Concubine Yun look at it."

Fulin said: "No matter how long she writes, I will read it. It's not your turn to worry about it. Get out of the way." Shen Shiyun was much calmer than Zhenying. She didn't say a word, and looked at her writing intently, thinking about finding flaws between the lines, and immediately defended her if there were words that were unfavorable to her. She wrote very slowly and was far inferior to her own speed. It was not difficult to refute it.

The three of them stared at Chen Xiangxiang's confession, each with anxiety. Fu Lin didn't say it, and secretly suspected Shen Shiyun in his heart, but he really didn't want to accept it. Seeing her write, "The girl from the rich man in the capital was originally the daughter of Chen's family. She was named Xiangxiang for no reason and was forced to take mute medicine. She was wronged. The confession was forged in person. The records were not the original intention of the girl. The people in the Demon Sect had a deep hatred with the royal family, and the girl was paraded in the streets. This was forged..." Shen Shiyun saw that she would continue to write it, and her conspiracy would be exposed, and she would have to let her make a fuss. She also clenched her cold sweat in her palm.

At this time, a famous eunuch suddenly came to report: "Emperor, civil and military officials and new Jinshi have gathered together in the Palace of Supreme Harmony, and are waiting for the Emperor to preside over the ceremony of the preaching ceremony." Fulin was also suffering in his heart. Finally, there was something in front of him to stop him. He was happy to go with the flow. Even if he knew about it one minute later, he hurriedly said: "Yes, this is a big event and cannot be delayed. I will go there immediately."

Chen Xiangxiang was panicked, and threw away the pen with his hand and pulled Fulin's sleeve. Fulin said, "You continue writing, I will go back. Yun'er, I promise to take you to the ceremony. You will follow me now. Concubine Zhen, look at her." After thinking about it, I was a little worried, so I ordered a few guards to guard. Before leaving, Shen Shiyun winked at Zhenying, and Zhenying nodded knowingly. Chen Xiangxiang had already come to her and her eyes turned empty.

The Palace of Supreme Harmony was a place where many emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties held grand ceremonies. The decoration was very luxurious. There was a row of dense doves under the eaves. The Hexi color paintings were of the highest level and were divided into indoor and outdoor beams. Diamond plaids were embedded in the upper part of the doors and windows, and cloud dragon patterns were embossed at the lower part. There were gilded bronze leaves engraved with dragon patterns at the joints. The gold bricks in the hall were paved, so it was also known as the Golden Palace.

There are 72 large pillars supporting the weight. There are nine dragon golden lacquer thrones in the Ming Dynasty. There are four pairs of furnishings on both sides of the front: Baoxiang, Ludu, Crane and Xiangting Pavilion. Baoxiang symbolizes national stability and regime consolidation. Ludu is a legendary auspicious animal. Crane symbolizes longevity. Xiangting Pavilion means stability in the country. A caisson above the throne is placed like an umbrella cover, with a giant lying dragon lying down, with a dragon head lying down, and a pearl on the mouth, a weather*.

Fulin and Shen Shiyun walked into the hall, and took their seats on the throne. Shen Shiyun stood by. According to the system, Luanyiwei set up a Luzhu Dharmakaya in front of the hall, and Zhonghe Shaole under the eaves. The official of the Honglu Temple led a new Jinshi to take his seat and carried out the imperial edict and read it: "In the first month of the second year of Shunzhi, the tribute scholars in the world were tested. Tang Yuancheng, the first in Chang'an, Shaanxi Province, was awarded the Jinshi." Tang Yuancheng was led out of the class and knelt in the middle of the imperial road.

The official read out the first person in the second class, and knelt on the left, and knelt on the left, and knelt on the right, and knelt on the right. Each person sang three times in a row, and then passed it to the Danji. He then sang several names such as the second class, and several names such as the third class, and only once, without singing out of the class.

Tang Yuancheng lived with his grandmother and lived frugally. When he first came to this magnificent hall, he was so nervous that he lowered his head and stared at the carpet in front of him. He was also considered a newborn calf who was not afraid of a tiger, and was second to the emperor's power. He could not help but curiosity, and quietly raised his eyes, his eyes were circling around. When he touched others' sight, he immediately avoided the disrespect of his eyes.

When he glanced at the left head of the throne, he suddenly felt something hit in his heart and couldn't move his sight away. He saw a concubine wearing gorgeous clothes with a very similar appearance to Shen Shiyun. He was forgot about the woman who only knew one side for a moment, and her beautiful figure was always in his mind. At this time, he suspected that he was thinking too much that he had hallucinations. He lowered his head and rubbed his eyes, and looked up to look.

The previous time I just raised my eyes and looked around. This time I even raised my head. I saw that the woman was clearly Shen Shiyun, but her pretty face was much more beautiful than before. I don’t know if it was because of her good maintenance or her long-term separation. Seeing her smiling face, she looked around the audience proudly, and her eyes didn’t stop on his face for a moment, but he was already greedy to put all her smile into his pocket, only for his own enjoyment.

He was drunk in his heart. In a trance, he heard the songs finished and the music was made. All the Grand Secretary to the third rank and above and the new Jinshi performed the three-kneel and nine-kneel ceremony. Tang Yuancheng also bowed in a daze and said that the emperor's grace was magnificent. The Zhonghe Shao music played the seal of peace, and the ceremony was completed in a moment. Then an imperial edict was passed down to "The Supreme Court Duke stayed for the time being, and the rest of the people retreated to the court." Tang Yuancheng only thought about the convenience of continuing to see Shen Shiyun's face, and was not worried about whether the emperor would pursue him rudely.

After all the officials retreated, only Tang Yuancheng, Fulin, Shen Shiyun and the other three were left in the hall. Shen Shiyun stepped down the steps, walked slowly to Tang Yuancheng, smiled at him, and said, "Zhuangyuan Gong, congratulations." When Tang Yuancheng saw the dream lover approaching, he could no longer control himself. He stretched out his hands, pulled her hand and held it, and said, "Miss Yun'er, Yun'er, is it you? I'm not dreaming, right? Do you still remember me? I am Tang Yuancheng, that stupid Tang Yuancheng!"

Shen Shiyun smiled faintly again and said softly: "The 1st Yuan Gong is too humble, you still call yourself a fool. For thousands of years, not many smart people in the world have won the title of the Golden List. I naturally remember you, Mr. Tang, so I came to congratulate you on getting what I want." Tang Yuancheng was even more happy and said: "It's great, it's so great. I didn't expect to see you at the ceremony of the quotation. This... this... is really a double happiness... Yun'er, since I parted in Chang'an, I have been unable to forget you, I always miss you, I... I... I miss you day and night! Do you believe it? It's all your credit for my high school this time!"

Shen Shiyun smiled and said, "You have won the top scorer this time because of the virtues of the ancestors of the Tang family, the hard training of your family, and the hard work of your own. Why is it my credit?"

Tang Yuancheng said: "Of course it is your credit. If I hadn't always been thinking about you and wanting to get a good fortune, I could see you again. I am qualified to be on an equal footing with you. I wouldn't have studied so hard. You are my spiritual motivation. Look, this is the handkerchief you gave me, I have always kept it close to you. If I miss you, I will take it out and see. I will clean it carefully every day. After so long, I haven't got a piece of dirt..." As he said that, he took out the handkerchief from his arms and took it over to caress her cheek.

Fulin saw the top scholar and the prince was so intimate with his beloved concubine in front of him. Even though he knew that they were old acquaintances, he still felt a little taste of eating. He coughed dryly and walked down the stairs.
