Royal Palace.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang finally gave in, Queen Ma showed a hint of joy on her face and hurriedly turned to look at Pang Yuhai.

"Why are you still standing there? Follow me out quickly and help the princess up!"

Queen Ma greeted Pang Yuhai and walked quickly outside the palace.

Pang Yuhai agreed and hurriedly followed Queen Ma outside the palace.

"Shu'er, get up quickly. Your father has agreed to give Hu Fei a chance to prove his innocence."

Queen Ma looked at her daughter kneeling on the ground and said happily, then stretched out her hand to help her up.

"Really? Queen Mother?"

Princess Anqing suddenly became excited and looked at her mother with a sigh of relief and asked.

"Really, you don't even believe what your mother says?"

Queen Ma nodded and said affirmatively.

"Your Royal Highness, what the Queen said is true, Your Majesty agreed."

Pang Yuhai on the side also said hurriedly.

After hearing what Pang Yuhai said, Princess Anqing finally believed it, breathed a sigh of relief, and prepared to stand up with the support of her mother.

But as soon as she got up, she felt that her legs had lost all feeling, she could not stand at all, she had no strength at all, and she almost fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Pang Yuhai hurriedly stepped forward and helped Queen Ma hold Princess Anqing.

"Shu'er, are you okay? What's wrong?!"

When Queen Ma saw it, her expression immediately changed and she asked nervously.

"Queen mother, my legs..."

Princess Anqing looked at her legs in panic and said in a panic.

"Quick! Send the princess back to Kunning Palace!"

"Pass on the Imperial Physician!"

Queen Ma looked solemn and hurriedly urged Pang Yuhai and said loudly.

"Come here, please send Her Royal Highness back to Kunning Palace quickly, and send the imperial doctor to Kunning Palace immediately for diagnosis and treatment!"

Pang Yuhai agreed, and immediately ordered two young eunuchs not far away to help Princess Anqing walk to Kunning Palace, and then sent someone to ask the imperial doctor to go to Kunning Palace with her.

After watching Queen Ma and Princess Anqing leave, Pang Yuhai breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly walked towards the main hall without bothering to greet Pang Yuhai, who was still kneeling on the ground.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Pang Yuhai quickly walked into the hall and shouted loudly.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing the panicked Pang Yuhai, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up quickly and asked nervously.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Princess Anqing has lost feeling in her legs due to kneeling for too long and cannot move. I have ordered someone to help the princess and follow the empress back to Kunning Palace. The imperial doctor will rush there soon after."

Pang Yuhai bowed his hands and said nervously.

After listening to Pang Yuhai's words, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately blamed himself. He wanted to rush to Kunning Palace immediately, but he stopped after taking two steps, thinking that the matter had not been decided yet and it was not the time to leave yet.

"Send someone to wait at Kunning Palace. As soon as there is news about the princess, come back and report!"

So, Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment and said in a deep voice to Pang Yuhai.

"yes."

Pang Yuhai agreed and immediately sent people to Kunning Palace.

After Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down, he sat on the couch again.

"Where are the people outside the palace? Are they still kneeling?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and looked at Pang Yuhai again, and asked slowly.

"Back to Your Majesty, the guards at the palace gate have just sent someone to report. The people have not dispersed yet. They are still kneeling outside the palace gate. Some people have fainted on the way."

Pang Yuhai nodded and replied respectfully.

The people kneeling outside the palace gate were all people who had received Hu Fei's favor during the New Year's Day. They were all old men in their fifties. After kneeling for so long, some of them could no longer hold on.

"Where is Hu Weiyong? Still outside?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked solemnly.

"exist."

Pang Yuhai nodded and said.

"That's all, let him in. I have something to say to him."

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment and said slowly.

"yes."

Pang Yuhai agreed and hurriedly turned around and walked out.

Not long after, Hu Weiyong, whose legs were no longer functioning properly, slowly walked into the hall with the support of two young eunuchs.

"The humble minister Hu Weiyong is here to see Your Majesty!"

"The humble minister is guilty, please punish me!"

After approaching, Hu Weiyong pushed away the two young eunuchs, knelt down on the ground with a plop, bowed his hands, and said respectfully.

"Hu Weiyong, you are very good, you can actually let my daughter kneel outside with you for several hours!"

"Chang Shu has lost feeling in her legs now and is likely to be useless. Are you satisfied?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Hu Weiyong, became very angry, and asked loudly.

"I know that I have sinned, and please punish me, Your Majesty!"

"I hope your majesty can spare the dog's life. If your majesty must punish me, I am willing to die to apologize!"

Hu Weiyong put his hands on the ground, buried his head deeply, and said with trembling shoulders.

Seeing Hu Weiyong's humble and regretful look, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned with a complicated expression.

"Okay, get up. Since I have promised Chang Shu, I will naturally give Hu Fei a chance to prove his innocence. As for whether you can be punished for your crime, we will tell at that time!"

"You can go back! I'm tired!"

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang finally came back from his thoughts, waved his hand and said impatiently.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty! I am deeply grateful!"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Hu Weiyong was stunned for a moment, looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang, and then kowtowed deeply.

Zhu Yuanzhang said nothing more and signaled Pang Yuhai to immediately send someone to send Hu Weiyong, who had difficulty with his legs, back home.

Pang Yuhai agreed, hurriedly called a few people in, and helped Hu Weiyong leave the Yangxin Hall.

"Pass on my decree, order Hu Fei to go to Yangxin Hall to prove his innocence in three days!"

"In addition, I will order the guards at the palace gate to inform the people of my decision and let them all disperse."

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a while, looked at Pang Yuhai, and said in a deep voice.

"yes."

Pang Yuhai hurriedly agreed and immediately exited the hall slowly.

The news quickly spread outside the palace gate, and the old people kneeling outside the palace gate were relieved. Some were supported by the palace guards, some supported each other, and gradually returned home.

Pei Jie, Chundie and others who had been waiting outside the palace gate, after seeing Hu Weiyong being helped out of the palace gate by the people in the palace, hurriedly stepped forward to pick up Hu Weiyong and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion together.

...

East of the palace gate.

Check the school health center.

In the dark cell, Hu Fei sat quietly on the grass platform, calculating the time when he would be imprisoned.

He didn't know anything about what was happening outside.

At this moment, footsteps were heard, and the commander Han Jiang appeared outside the cell door again.

Han Jiang stood outside the cell and glanced at the clean dishes next to him. He couldn't help but frown. A trace of surprise flashed between his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Hu Fei had such a good appetite at this time and actually put the dishes on the table.

Eat all the wine and meat.

In fact, what he didn't know was that Hu Fei was not confident, he just didn't want to starve to death.

"Commander Han seems very free and has come to visit me several times."

Hu Fei looked at Han Jiang and said calmly.
