The case was sent to Dali Temple. There were many people involved, but there were not many files, and most of them were confessions. This shows how the ancient lack of attention to litigation procedures was seen.

The case was composed of a trial group consisting of a number of clerks in the criminal room of Dali Temple for the preliminary trial, and then the judgment was submitted to the robbery of the Dali Temple minister Yuan Shao. He put forward the opinions and then reported to Yuan Shao for review. Among them, those who meet the conditions for the "Eight Discussions" must wait for the Ministry of Justice to approve it and submit the trial opinion in court, and finally the emperor decides it. This is a normal procedure.

When the file was submitted to Xiao Jiading, Xiao Jiading first picked up the verdict. Because this case was a rebellion, it was not made public before the final judgment was made, and the first-instance judgment made by Dali Temple was not made public. Therefore, Xiao Jiading had no way of knowing the result of the judgment. What he wanted to know the most was the fate of the Shu King Li Ke and his wife.

What I saw were two cold words: "Diet!"

Xiao Jiading was stunned for a while, then quickly found the file and read it directly. He found the file of King Li Ke of Shu. It was still a gorgeous parallel prose, denounced Li Ke's infidelity, and there was no other substantial crime except for the letter of treason forged by Han Bingdie.

Xiao Jiading knew that this case was handled by Changsun Wuji, and the result of the first instance was definitely his idea, and he must have submitted his consent. In other words, even a legal scholar who specializes in "Tang Law" from a modern society could not save Li Ke and his wife from a legal perspective. Because in ancient times, the authority of the law was far from the orders of the emperor or powerful ministers. The rule of law could not bear fruit on the soil of man rule. If he disobeyed the orders of those who ruled man, there would be no good result except to cause trouble.

However, Xiao Jiading could not sit idly by and watch Li Ke and his wife die. Especially Princess Yang, who treats him like his own sister, must save him.

He thought hard all night, and finally, he thought of a road, which he hoped would work. At the same time, he would not drag himself in.

Royal Palace.

Wu Zetian's bedroom.

Wu Yueniang lazily leaned on the soft collapse, holding a volume of poems in her hand, and was watching. Before the soft collapse, there was a basin of fire. Although there was ice and snow outside, the room was as warm as spring.

At this time, when the curtain was lifted, a bright woman came in. It was Changsun Yanran who was smiling.

Although the two of them were making a fuss on Xianguo Island, the women were fickle. They could quarrel in the front, but they could still be best friends when they were nothing. Changsun Yanran and Wu Yueniang were like this.

Wu Yue's mother went forward and held her hand affectionately: "Why are you free to see me? I haven't seen you come during the Spring Festival."

"Master is watching me tightly. I have to practice martial arts hard every day, and I don't have time to come. - What are you watching?"

"The collection of poems is the poem by Xiao Jiading, the most talented man from Yizhou to the capital. Lu Zhaolin highly praised him and invested in it and stereotyped many books, many of which were between Shu King Li Ke and Li Ke. My sister also obtained a new work from Yizhou. She said it was quite good and asked me to take a look. I'm just watching it."

An excitement appeared in Wu Yueniang's eyes, and the lover stood out, and she also had a bright face. She then clapped and said, "I have seen it too. It's pretty good."

The two chatted for a while by Xiao Jiading's poem, and Changsun Yanran talked about the purpose of this trip: "Do you still remember the ugly monster we encountered on Xianguo Island?"

"Remember, it's a pity that I died on the island." Wu Yueniang's voice was a little dim. Thinking of the grudges and hatred between her and Xiao Dalang, she felt a sense of melancholy for no reason. In the end, she could not save his life and left him to two powerful enemies. Then the volcano erupted, afraid that he would die on the island at this moment.

Changsun Yanran smiled mysteriously and said, "He is not dead, I'm here to find you!"

"Really?" Wu Yueniang was surprised, "How do you know?"

"Because he came to me too."

Wu Yueniang's voice was a little sour: "Look for you? By the way, aren't you already getting better?"

Changsun Yanran bit her lip gently and said, "I'm trying to stabilize him, because only he can help us fight against Heim."

Another gleam flashed in Wu Yueniang's eyes: "Really?"

"Why am I lying to you?" Changsun Yanran held her arm affectionately, "But I know, you actually don't like him, you have ulterior motives."

"You don't have it..." Wu Yueniang's eyes rolled and she said sourly again: "Hmph! I understand, you want to come to me and say these words on purpose so that I can let go and let me give him to you, right?"

"No!" Changsun Yanran pouted, "I thought you really didn't like that ugly guy, so I told him a request. After hearing this, I thought this request should be good news, so I came to tell you specifically, since you like him, then this news is probably not good news for you."

"What are you saying? What good news and bad news? What did he say to me?"

Changsun Yanran took out a letter from her arms and handed it to Wu Yueniang: "You can read it yourself."

"What is this?" Wu Yueniang took it and opened it. It was she who wrote the ugly wedding letter to the ugly monster on Xianguo Island. She looked at Changsun Yanran in confusion.

Changsun Yanran said: "Last night he appeared in my back garden, handed me this, and asked me to pass it on to you, saying that he knew you didn't want to marry him, so he wanted to ask you to do something. If you did it, you would voluntarily cancel the engagement."

Wu Yueniang's face was gloomy and she said, "He has handed over the engagement to me. If I tear it up directly, he will not be able to force me."

Changsun Yanran smiled: "Are you stupid? So many people were there and I heard it too. We are all witnesses. If you want to terminate this marriage, you must not write a written break-up letter."

Wu Yueniang bit her lip gently and said, "They are all in prison and are going to be executed. Their testimony is endless. Only you and my brother, Grandma Long can still testify. My brother and Grandma Long naturally won't help outsiders. As long as you don't say anything, he will have no choice."

Changsun Yanran shook her head and said, "I have promised him and testified for him."

Wu Yueniang smiled and held her arm: "Good girl, are you helping outsiders if you don't help your sister?"

Changsun Yanran said: "Because he agreed, as long as I help him complete this matter, he will terminate the engagement with me."

"You have an engagement with her?" Wu Yueniang said in surprise, "Didn't you just promise to give him ten beauties and still have money?"

"That was before, and later he saved my life and forced me to write a marriage letter to marry him. Otherwise, why would I do that later?"

Wu Yueniang nodded slowly: "So that's the case. So, if I help him accomplish this, will he terminate the engagement with us?"

"Well, to be precise, whether you can help you complete it, he will terminate the engagement with me. As long as I help him bring the words to you, the engagement with the ugly Xiao Dalang has been terminated. And whether you can terminate it with him. The key is whether you can help him accomplish this."

Wu Yueniang's eyes rolled and she said, "I can't do it, please let him come and propose marriage!"

Changsun Yanran smiled: "You didn't even listen to what it was, you just said that it wouldn't be possible? Could it be that you really like him and are unwilling to give up on this marriage?"

Wu Yueniang's pretty face turned slightly red: "What he asked me to do must be extremely difficult, and I will definitely not be able to do it. So it doesn't matter."

"But he has something to say later, and you don't want to hear it?"

"What do you mean?" Wu Yueniang said strangely.

"He said that if you have feelings for him and want to marry him, then please help him do this. If it is done, he will propose marriage and marry you. At the same time, he will give you two very precious things as betrothal gifts for the proposal."

Wu Yueniang spat lightly and said with a blushing face: "No matter whether I marry him or not, he will ask me to help him with his work? Take it seriously and think about good things!"

"No, as long as you accomplish this, you can decide on your marriage. If you don't want to, he will directly terminate your engagement. If you want to, you can get two rare treasures. So you won't lose money."

"What kind of rare treasure?"

Changsun Yanran felt sour. But she tried not to show it: "He refused to say it, he just said it was a rare treasure. He must be worthy of you."

Wu Yueniang thought for a long time and said, "Forget it, let's hear what he wants me to do first."

Changsun Yanran let out a light breath and said, "He wants you to tell your sister that you will ask your sister to propose to the emperor again that Tang Linguan, who was demoted to Yizhou as Sima, will be restored to his post."

Wu Yueniang was stunned for a moment: "What's his relationship with Tang Lin?"

Changsun Yanran shook her head: "I asked about this too, but he refused to say it. He just asked to do this within ten days and let Tang Lin take office within one month at the latest."

"Why didn't he ask you, but me? - You are the eldest granddaughter of Prime Minister Changsun. Your grandfather can handle this with just one word!"

Changsun Yanran sighed: "He said, my grandfather doesn't like Tang Lin, so he will not agree to this matter. Moreover, the emperor will eventually ask for an order for this matter, so it's better to ask you all at once."

"Prime Minister Changsun doesn't like Tang Lin?"

"I don't know, that's what he said."

Wu Yueniang's eyes rolled for a long time, sighed, and said, "Okay, who told him to save my life? Even if I can repay him."

Changsun Yanran gently bit her red lips again: "Then... do you hope he breaks the engagement? And hopefully he comes to propose marriage with those two treasures?"

Wu Yueniang looked at him with her head tilted: "What do you hope?"

Changsun Yanran said angrily: "How do I know!"

Wu Yueniang also sighed: "Actually, I don't know. Then I can really do this. - Since your grandfather doesn't like Tang Lin, I guess this matter won't be done. I can only talk about it, but I dare not guarantee it."

"He said that as long as your sister is willing to help, there will be a way."

Wu Yueniang was a little proud: "This is of course." After thinking about it, she blushed and said, "Can you let him come to see me?"

Changsun Yanran shook her head decisively: "No! He said that he would come out to see you unless you accomplish this and hope you can get married. Otherwise, there is no need to meet."

Wu Yueniang felt a little sad and said, "That's true."

After saying a few more gossips, Changsun Yanran said goodbye and went back.

Instead of going home directly, they came to the restaurant they had made an appointment with Xiao Jiading to meet Xiao Jiading. Xiao Jiading is waiting for her news here.

After the two met, Xiao Jiading saw him looking depressed and said, "What's wrong? She doesn't agree?"

"I agreed! But she refused to say whether to ask you to break off the engagement or propose a marriage with a treasure." Changsun Yanran looked at him with a stern face, "You said! If she really proposes a marriage, will you marry her!"

"I have told you this many times, no! She has repeatedly taken my life, how could I marry someone who wants to kill me at any time by my side? - Besides, she won't want to marry me. Otherwise, she won't want to kill me a few times."

"But what if she agrees? She..."

"Okay, OK!" Xiao Jiading hugged her in his arms, kissed her, and said softly: "No one can replace you! Do you know? My little baby!"

My daughters love each other with their ears. After hearing this sweet words, Changsun Yanran immediately threw away the uneasiness and unhappiness in her heart, hugged Xiao Jiading's neck and felt tired of her for a while, and then said: "You said, can Concubine Wu really do this? Since this matter is very important to you, why don't I go and beg my grandfather, I believe..."

Xiao Jiading shook his head and interrupted her: "Your grandfather must not know about this matter. If he knew about it, not only will Tang Lin not be able to resume his post, but he is afraid he will still have life worries! Remember!"

Changsun Yanran nodded solemnly: "Okay. I'll listen to you."

Xiao Jiading, however, now he does not have the ability to save Shu King Li Ke and his wife, and must find someone who can do this. This person is only Tang Lin. If Tang Lin can be restored to his post, he will definitely find a way to save Li Ke and his wife. He is also an old minister of the court and a group of sons. As long as he is promoted to him, Wu Zetian will support him, there will be a chance. If this matter can be accomplished, it will not only help Tang Lin official to restore his post, but also become an important backer for his court. He can also use the identity of the ugly Xiao Dalang to hook up with Wu Yueniang and have an extra life-saving talisman.

———————————

The palace, the bedroom of Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty Li Zhi.

Emperor Gaozong of Tang went to court, and Wu Zetian was talking to his sister Wu Yueniang.

In the middle of the floor of Wu Zetian's bedroom, there is a piece of Yangwen carving, which carved a sun and a moon, which appeared in the sky at the same time. The Wu Zetian sisters sat on the soft collapse above the sun and the moon, holding hands and talking.
