dawn.

It's not completely bright yet.

In front of Li Garden, Li Ziye and Hibiscus got on the carriage and drove straight towards the palace.

At the same time, Xu Hanlin in Jingmu Mansion also got up early and prepared to ascend to the throne.

Outside the Jingmu Mansion, people were arriving one after another, waiting for the trial to begin.

Not long after, the carriage stopped in front of the Jingmu Mansion. Hongzhu got off the carriage and arrived in person.

As the intelligence chief of the Li family, Hongzhu rarely does things in person under normal circumstances. However, today's situation is special, so she came as soon as she came.

"Sister Hongzhu."

At this time, a familiar voice sounded from behind. Wan Rongrong stepped out of the carriage and called softly.

"Little Princess."

Hongzhu turned around, bowed politely, and responded.

The two of them were not familiar with each other and had only met once or twice at most. However, because of Li Ziye, Wan Rongrong had always been very friendly to the Li family.

The four characters "love house and bird" are vividly reflected in the little princess.

It's a pity that the concubine has feelings, the man has no intention, and the little princess's infatuation can never move a hard-hearted person.

"Isn't Brother Li here?"

Behind the crowd, Wan Rongrong looked around and asked doubtfully.

Brother Li has always been on good terms with Master, why didn't he come?

"The young master has entered the palace."

Hongzhu answered truthfully, "Last night, His Majesty sent someone to deliver an oral message to the young master to enter the palace early this morning."

"Brother Li has entered the palace?"

When Wan Rongrong heard the words of the woman in front of him, he was startled and said anxiously, "Sister Hongzhu, will Brother Li be fine if he comes to the palace?"

Now, everyone knows that the royal family is going to attack the Li family. If Brother Li enters the palace at this time, wouldn't he be throwing himself into a trap?

"fine."

Hongzhu shook her head and replied, "Since the young master has gone, it means he is sure to come out."

As long as Shang Huang is not confused, he will not attack Xiao Ziye blatantly. Of course, there are no absolutes in anything. Xiao Ziye knows this truth better than anyone else, and he will definitely not be defenseless.

When Wan Rongrong heard this, he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. His face was still worried.

"Miss Red Candle, little princess."

While the two were talking, figures came one after another from behind. There were about ten people, all dressed in plain white Confucian robes and carrying ancient swords. They looked quite similar, restrained, upright, and otherworldly.

The visitors were none other than the Confucian disciples who came to support their senior brother.

The leader of the crowd, Wen Xiuru saw the two of them and said politely, "I have met the little princess, Miss Hongzhu."

Hongzhu returned the salute and glanced at the Confucian disciples in front, with a strange look on his face.

What Xiao Ziye said is right, these Confucian disciples all look similar, and you can't tell who is who without looking carefully.

"Miss Hongzhu, is Senior Brother's case about to begin?" Wen Xiuru looked ahead at the Jing Mu Mansion and asked.

"Soon." Hongzhu replied.

"Why don't you see Professor Li?"

Wen Xiuru also noticed that someone was not here and asked in surprise.

"Entering the palace."

Hongzhu responded casually, "Don't ask about anything else. I don't know if you ask me."

Wen Xiuru's expression froze, and he had to swallow what he was about to ask.

"The church is open, the church is open."

As soon as the two people finished speaking, the people outside the mansion suddenly became agitated. In the Jingmu Mansion, Xu Hanlin appeared and began to rise to the court to interrogate the case.

"Bring the prisoner, Bai Wangyu!"

The gavel fell, and the atmosphere inside and outside the house suddenly became tense.

Soon, in the spotlight of everyone, Bai Wangyu walked in, escorted by two officials, his calm expression never changed, and he was dressed in a white Confucian robe, still unstained by dust.

After being imprisoned for two days, Bai Wangyu was completely clean. Apparently he had not suffered much in prison, and he had not even changed into his prison uniform.

As a major disciple of the Confucian sect, even if he stumbled into jail, the officers and soldiers of the Jingmu Mansion did not dare to make it too difficult.

Because no one wants to offend Confucianism over a trivial matter.

"Bai Wangyu, do you know your guilt?"

In the hall, Xu Hanlin looked at the Confucian disciples in the hall and shouted in a deep voice.

"I don't know."

Bai Wangyu shook his head slightly and responded.

Brother Li said, don't let him plead guilty randomly, otherwise it will be very troublesome.

In the hall, Xu Hanlin breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Bai Wangyu's answer.

If you don't plead guilty, just say it.

Just when the Jingmu Mansion opened the trial for Bai Wangyu's murder case.

In front of the palace, Li Ziye and Mu Jin arrived and entered the palace together.

Everyone knows that the royal family is afraid of the Li family and wants to get rid of it quickly. However, until now, the two sides are still at a stage where they are not completely at odds with each other.

Even though the royal family took action against the Li family this time, it was still not blatant. The reason is very simple. The royal family was not ready to deal with the Li family's crazy revenge.

Not long after, under the leadership of the chamberlain, Li Ziye and Mu Jin came to the front of Shou'an Hall.

"His Majesty."

The chamberlain quickly walked into the palace and saluted respectfully, "Here we are."

"Let them in."

In the hall, Emperor Shang stood quietly and said calmly, "Everyone else, please go out."

"yes!"

The servants took the order and immediately withdrew.

Soon, Li Ziye and Mu Jin entered the palace. When they saw Emperor Shang in the palace, they bowed politely and said, "I have met Your Majesty."

Facing the Great Shang Emperor, Mu Jin knelt down and bowed. Next to him, Li Ziye stood quietly and just bowed his hands.

Seeing this, Emperor Shang frowned slightly and asked, "Li Jiaoxi, why don't you kneel down when you see me?"

"Sirs of the state are not allowed to kneel down and worship."

Li Ziye said calmly, "Isn't this the courtesy His Majesty gives to students all over the world?"

On the side, Mu Jin listened to the conversation between the two and subconsciously became nervous, fearing that the two would break up at this time.

However, Hibiscus still underestimated Li Ziye and Shang Huang's schemes.

How could the two of them fall out over such trivial matters?

"Professor Li is right."

Sure enough, after hearing Li Ziye's answer, Emperor Shang did not show any anger on his face. He responded calmly, "Sirs of the country, you do not kneel down to the emperor to be in love with the king. This is the courtesy I give to all the students in the world. It is a pity.

"In the whole world, only Professor Li understands my painstaking efforts."

Li Ziye smiled faintly and said nothing.

Old fox, you can really endure it.

"Yes, he is indeed the son of destiny recognized by Confucius. He does have some courage."

Just as the two were talking, an old voice sounded from the back of the hall, and then a haggard old man stepped out and asked, "Young man from the Li family, do you know who the old man is?"

In the hall, Li Ziye narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw the old man walking out in front of him, and replied, "I don't know."

This old guy actually showed up in person.

It just so happened that he had always wanted to meet this Taoist sage.

Regardless of whether the ideas are consistent or not, it is better to meet and chat for a few words to gain a better understanding of them.
