The case of King Gui was very difficult, and the opinions on how to deal with it at the court were extremely inconsistent.
The emperor's eldest son, Sun Lue, summoned several chief judges, Prime Minister Yi Zhonglun, and several ministers who could speak and dared to speak to the Qinzheng Hall to discuss matters.
Therefore, Xu Rongrong's maid only invited Xu Youcai and Shangguan Yuan.
Xu Youcai was about the same age as Shangguan Yuan. Relying on his father Rong Guogong's relationship, he found a small official in the Ministry of War as a Yuanwailang. Although he was qualified to go to court, he could only stay in a corner position, even the emperor's face.
None can be seen.
Shangguan Yuan already holds the title of Marquis at a young age, and also has the title of General Anbei, a third-rank officer. He is a well-deserved leader in the Daxuan Dynasty.
However, six years ago, the two of them were on the same level, serving as lieutenants under General Pang Yan of the Right Xiaowei.
Because An Xingdao's daughter had a fight.
Xu Youcai was very impressed by that one.
During the training, Shangguan Yuan knocked him to the ground with three punches and two kicks, stepped on his chest with one foot, and coldly called him "trash", making him laugh to this day.
From then on, he worked hard, but the best twenty years were wasted. He couldn't develop his skills in fists and feet, so he could only rely on his brain to work hard.
Yesterday, his sister Xu Rongrong told him that he would embarrass An Qianru in Fengzao Palace today.
At first, when the little maid came to invite him, he thought he was looking for him to watch the fun.
After walking for a while, I found another maid next to my sister leading Shangguan Yuan over.
I was very surprised.
I secretly wonder if my sister is so arrogant that she has forgotten everything.
Although she is the wife of the prime minister and the legitimate daughter of the Duke, her status is still far behind that of the Marquis's wife!
An Qianru was born young and passed through Goulan Courtyard. It was wise to be bullied alone, but now she even called Shangguan Yuan there.
It’s really not a big deal to get into trouble!
Shangguan Yuan also murmured in his heart when he saw the lawsuit on Xu Youcai's face.
The maid who invited someone said she was summoned by the Queen, but she was not wearing palace clothes and kept flirting with the little maid next to Xu Youcai.
Weird!
There was a huge disparity in status and power, so Xu Youcai didn't want to overestimate his capabilities and compete with Shangguan Yuan, so he wisely let him go first, and then slowly followed after him when he was farther away.
At the same time, Qianru and Xu Rongrong had just finished a spat fight and were resting and recuperating.
Xu Rongrong was very satisfied and looked like she had a chance to win.
She knew that Yi Zhonglun was very busy recently, and it was unlikely that he would come to Fengzao Palace. As for Shangguan Yuan, she didn't take it seriously with the queen watching over him. She just wanted to sacrifice a little bit of her brother's reputation.
But he is a playboy to begin with, so this bit of reputation is of no importance to him.
Although they haven't arrived yet, no man can tolerate a flirtatious wife.
In a daze, she had already foreseen Shangguan Yuan's face distorted with pain, and couldn't help laughing.
Qianru, on the other hand, is strong on the outside but weak on the inside, and can only keep her face calm and composed.
She knew Xu Rongrong's temper well.
Such a vicious woman is definitely going to kill herself this time.
Therefore, from the beginning, she never thought about compromising.
Since Xu Rongrong wants to put this matter on the table, she can only fight with her, and she must not lose.
At this time, Xiuhe reported to the queen: "Madam, Marquis Yongzhong is coming soon."
No one else arrived, but Shangguan Yuan did, and Qianru suddenly felt uneasy.
Seeing that the time had come, Xu Rongrong raised her voice and mentioned that last year Qianru worked as a maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion, "seduce" her master, and then "seduce" her brother Xu Youcai while the master was away.
"The chrysanthemums in the flower room were originally cultivated by my husband secretly for the emperor to celebrate your eternal happiness. However, they were all destroyed by this bitch. The scene was simply unsightly!"
Seeing Empress Shen hiding her face in embarrassment, she ordered people to block Shangguan Yuan outside Fengzao Palace.
Qianru blushed.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were no men in the palace, she simply took off her coat and showed the scars all over her body to Queen Shen.
Queen Shen's face turned pale with shock, and she quickly asked Xiuhe to put her clothes on, and repeatedly advised Xu Rongrong not to make trouble.
Xu Rongrong refused, "What I have done today is to show you the true face of this bitch, and not to be fooled by her so-called talent and pitiful appearance."
Qianru knew that once she retreated in order to advance, Xu Rongrong would definitely push her further in order not to let her stop her from speaking.
She can only be cruel to herself.
So, she gritted her teeth, pulled out the hairpin and pointed it at her neck, pretending to kill herself, and threatening Shen with death. After hearing this, she was filled with bitterness.
How he struggled to raise his younger brother, how he fell into a trap by mistake, how he was bullied and forced to work as a maid in the Prime Minister's Mansion, how he was tortured to death by Sister Xu Rongrong, and how the flowers in that house were destroyed.
"If King Luo hadn't kindly gifted his concubine a token to defend herself, the situation at that time would have been unimaginable."
Xu Rongrong strongly denied it.
However, the more she denied it, the deeper she dug the hairpin into her flesh, forcing Queen Shen to let Xiuhe block Xu Rongrong's mouth.
"Mother, what I say is true. Do you believe it?"
This was the case. In order to appease her, Empress Shen had to nod her head repeatedly.
But this was not the result Qianru wanted. She made up her mind and inserted the hairpin deeper.
Hearing the exclamations coming from Fengzao Palace, Shangguan Yuan no longer bothered to stop him, and rushed in dragging Xu Youcai, who had been beaten to death.
Seeing her brother's miserable state, Xu Rongrong jumped up and rushed forward to fight Shangguan Yuan.
However, Xu Youcai was thrown to the ground before he even got close.
In the midst of stunned silence, General Shangguan Yuan rushed forward and snatched the hairpin from Qianru's hand and took her away from Fengzao Palace.
Empress Shen quickly sent Xiuhe to come and explain.
"All this is Mrs. Xu's doing. The Queen has not neglected Madam in the slightest."
Shangguan Yuan originally planned to return home, but Jing Xiuhe provoked him and dragged Qianru directly to the outside of Qinzheng Hall.
This aggressive but silent attitude startled Qianru.
"What are we doing here?" she asked in a low voice, thinking that this guy is not going to divorce her again, right? How sad is it to be divorced by the same person in the past life and this life?
Just when she was muttering, Xu Rongrong's master and servant also ran over, knelt down at the door of Qinzheng Hall, and cried loudly: "It's wrong, it's wrong."
Qianru was afraid of being confused and wanted to kneel over, but Shangguan Yuan held her back and said, "It's embarrassing to kneel with a shrew!"
Qianru was confused for a moment and only heard the word "shameful" in it, and tears of sadness rolled down her face.
A moment later, when he saw Shangguan Yuan wiping his tears with a look of pity on his face, he suddenly recalled that he realized that he had misunderstood.
Her last act in Fengzao Palace was just to win Shangguan Yuan's pity, but she didn't expect that Shangguan Yuan would beat Xu Youcai to the point of dying.
