"You still have the nerve to mention Queen Mingxian?!" Qi Bingyu could not forget Queen Mingxian, and naturally he would not forget how Lu Huiling used her face to be similar to Lu Fushuang's to deceive him, "What you are doing now

How can I be worthy of Mingxian in everything I do?! How can I be worthy of the prince?!"

"But Lu Gaohong has done many things for the Celestial Empire with all his heart and soul. He is a person who really wants to do things for the Celestial Empire! Your Majesty, over the years, Lu Gaohong has done hard work without any merit. You... just spare his life."

Come on!" Mrs. Lu knelt and moved forward. The makeup on her face was already wet with tears. She turned to look at Qi Jingyang, "Your Highness, he is your uncle. Hui Ling and Lu Chen are both yours.

Brothers and sisters, please help me and beg the Emperor!"

Madam Lu knew that Lu Gaohong did not want to involve the prince, but now that Lu Gaohong's life was in danger, how could Madam Lu be able to control so much?

Qi Jingyangsui=Although he was a little angry, he knew in his heart that his uncle and Lu Huiling were also doing it for his own good. Besides, Mrs. Lu was begging for her in this way. If he didn't say anything, he would look very heartless.

"Father..." When Qi Jingyang wanted to say something to his father, his father gave him a cold look and then said: "Those who dare to intercede will be punished with the same crime!"

When Lu Gaohong heard this, he knew that no one would cause trouble for him, and he was relieved now: "Prince..."

Lu Gaohong looked at the prince, kowtowed slowly, and then said to the emperor: "I am guilty...I am willing to bear all the consequences."

After seeing her father confess her crime, Lu Huiling didn't want to struggle anymore. She knew that Qi Bingyu now hated her so much that even if she had a face that was 80% similar to Queen Mingxian's, she would not get his mercy after all.

For some reason, Lu Huiling seemed to feel a lot more relaxed at this moment. She didn't have to do things she didn't like for the sake of people who didn't matter to her, nor did she have to compromise to cater to others. In the end, she was nothing.

I can't just be myself happily...

But now things are getting better. Lu Huiling took off all the disguises from her body and couldn't help but laugh out loud. She laughed wildly and unrestrainedly.

Everyone looked at Lu Huiling and then at the emperor.

Seeing Lu Huiling's appearance, Liang Huanqing inevitably felt some strange feelings in her heart. She didn't know why, but she felt a little sorry for Lu Huiling. She had been pursuing Qi Jingqin hard, but she was not taken seriously by her.

His father was sent to the emperor, and he lived in fear every day and night wearing the mask given by his father. He hid hatred and all the dark things in his heart, and never saw the sun all day long...

Qi Bingyu looked at Lu Huiling's appearance with disgust, then waved his hand and said: "Take these rebellious officials and traitors into the prison and wait for their punishment!"

It seems that Qi Bingyu has no energy to deal with this matter at this time, so he will wait until tomorrow morning to discuss it. He knows that among the courtiers, not only the young minister of Dali Temple is a member of Lu Gaohong's party, but also countless others

On the surface, the ministers who serve as informants are actually working for the Celestial Empire, but in fact their thoughts have long been directed to Prime Minister Lu's Mansion. They know that Prime Minister Lu can help them achieve success.

After the imperial guards imprisoned Lu Gaohong and others, Qi Bingyu closed his eyes and held his forehead, pressing the center of his eyebrows. Everyone in the hall looked at him with bated breath.

After a long time, Qi Bingyu asked: "Is it time now?"

He Sheng leaned down and said softly: "If I want to return to the emperor, I still have about half an hour left..."

"It has been delayed for so long." Qi Bingyu sat up and stood up. The courtiers also stood up and stood on both sides with their heads lowered and their hands lowered. He said: "There are no fireworks yet on New Year's Eve today. I think all my people are waiting for you. Urgent."

With that said, Qi Bingyu forced his tired body to walk to the mourning platform. This is the tradition on New Year's Eve. Now that it is so late, there are no fireworks in the palace. The people outside the palace have been waiting in the market. , although the children were extremely sleepy, they still resisted their sleepiness and wanted to see this year's fireworks at the palace.

Qi Bingyu's broad sleeves kept dancing with the pace of his walking. Due to the heavy snowfall, there was a layer of ice on the road. Qi Bingyu had no choice but to walk to the memorial platform. He was worried that when he passed the time, his pace could not help but speed up a lot. He I firmly believe that there are still people waiting for me today.

The old master was old, but he still walked steadily and was supported by others to follow him to the coffin platform. Seeing this, the old master couldn't help but smile knowingly. Thinking about it, his teaching was quite effective back then. Qi Bingyu really He became a king who cared about the world and his people.

When Wei Shen, Qin Ruilan and Luo Xun, who were also waiting outside, saw the emperor coming out, they knelt down to greet him. Later, seeing everyone filing in in an orderly manner, they followed him safely. How could they? Unexpectedly, after experiencing so many things, the emperor could still remember to go to the mourning platform to pray for blessings.

Qin Ruilan walked to Liang Huanqing and wanted to ask what happened in the Qinzheng Palace just now and what the emperor's execution of Lu Gaohong and Lu Huiling was, but the words came to her lips but she couldn't say them out. The group of people were talking quietly. The lantern walked towards the mourning platform.

Everywhere they went, rows of candles were lit...

Just as Zishi arrived, the sacred fire was lit on the mourning platform, and the fireworks that had been prepared bloomed in the air. For a moment, the silent city of Shangjing began to boil again. Seeing the fireworks finally set off in the palace, The empty hearts of the people were filled...

Xia Rongxin stood behind the coffin and watched Qi Bingyu light the sacred fire with his own hands. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and cry bitterly. Qi Wangshu didn't know what was going on, so he had to pat her back gently as comfort.

New Year's Eve ended like this.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Beijing officials still had to attend the morning court. Qi Bingyu punished Lu Xiangfu and his family as follows for yesterday's New Year's Eve feast: Lu Gaohong was sentenced to death and beheaded in the street at the entrance of Dongshi Street on the second day of the lunar new year; Lu Huiling was mad, so he was imprisoned and exiled to Ninggu Pagoda to repent; Lu Chen and Mrs. Lu were exiled for eight hundred miles and became common people; Yin Renzhao was executed immediately according to the law; Yin Ruo uttered arrogant words in front of the emperor and was imprisoned In the cold palace, one is forbidden to go out for the rest of his life.

In addition, Qin Yuandao had made countless contributions in this case. He was honest and reliable, and temporarily took over the position of prime minister, with a first-class official position. Liang Ji, Zhao Zhao, Deng Xin, Cheng Liang and others gave him land, gold and other rewards; Princess Jing Liang Huanqing played a role that cannot be ignored in this case. He was specially given ten thousand taels of gold and a gold medal to avoid death as a token of comfort.

Just after New Year's Eve, the Yulin Army sealed off Prime Minister Lu's Mansion. Through the clues provided by Fang Lu, a total of more than ten corrupt officials were arrested. The amount of real money seized was more than the current national treasury. Trucks of stolen money were collected by the Yulin Army. He was escorted to the palace, and the people watching couldn't help but applaud.

In the palace of Prince Jing.

When Si Nanping heard that such a thrilling incident happened in the palace yesterday, he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He looked around at Liang Huanqing and kept asking: "You are not injured, are you? Are you really okay?"

Seeing that Si Nanping had been chasing him with questions like this all day, Liang Huanqing sat in the rocking chair, playing with the gold medal given by the emperor to avoid death, and smiled at Si Nanping and said: "I'm fine. Look, now I have two

His life is gone."

Si Nanping looked at her helplessly, not knowing what to say.

Yuebai had been with Liang Huanqing yesterday. Although she didn't accompany her into the Qinzheng Hall, she could still tell how thrilling the scene yesterday was. She looked at Liang Huanqing's calm look and couldn't help but say:

"Princess, what are you saying? If it hadn't been for Xiaolian yesterday...if you don't pay more attention in the future, you won't be able to keep the gold medal for immunity from death!"

Yuebai was the maid who had always been with Liang Huanqing, so naturally she dared to say anything. Seeing that Liang Huanqing still looked like she didn't have a long memory, Yuebai couldn't help but say a few words.

"The princess has her own destiny, so naturally she won't use this gold medal." Tang Xue squatted at Liang Huanqing's feet, pinched her legs, and said with a smile.

Yesterday, I had been kneeling for almost a day, and my knees were sore and painful. Concubine Mei simply took pity on her and sent someone to send her back to rest, otherwise Liang Huanqing would not know how to get out of the palace.
