In the imperial study room, a faint scent of sandalwood rose from the incense burner, intertwined with the incense of ink, and a soothing and peaceful atmosphere spread throughout the imperial study room.
Red and gold are the two most basic colors in the royal study. They are thick and luxurious, and the floor is shiny.
The emperor sat steadily behind the desk, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, with a noble and calm temperament, and a kind of majesty that ruled the world. His eyes were shining with an unprecedented contemplation, staring at the two people kneeling on the ground.
Feng Nanjin...
Square tassel...
There is also Xiao Jue who has not returned to the capital.
The deeds of these three people have spread all over the country. The Feng family once again challenged the authority of the imperial power. When he couldn't bear it anymore, Xiao Yue's eyes were as hard as rocks and he struck Liusu tightly. Was it her?
The two most courageous men in the court suffered a bloody battle, which made them the laughing stock of the people in the world.
The emperor's eyes were burning with anger, and they flashed by so quickly that even Xiao Han didn't notice it. He quickly concealed it in his eyes and said in a deep voice: "Pingshen!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Nan Jin and Liu Su stood up hand in hand.
"Why did the emperor rush to summon the ministers to Beijing this time?" Nan Jin's voice was full of formulaic stiffness, without a trace of personal feelings, and he asked knowingly.
Xiao Hanhan smiled coldly and stood aside quietly. Until now, was he still so confident? Feng Nanjin, he wanted to see if he could save everyone with one hand.
There are rumors in the market that Feng Nanjin abducted Princess Xiao and left Beijing five years ago, which was like a slap in the face of the royal family. This was the most humiliating event in the history of the Xiao family. No generation can withstand this.
For such a scandal, even if Xiao Yue was in the Forbidden Palace, he could still guess how unbearable the rumors in the market would be.
After Feng Nanjin inherited Fengjiapu, the Feng family quickly gathered the world's wealth and has been competing with the royal family for many years. It has overwhelming power in the Fengcheng area and can get hundreds of responses. The royal family and the Feng family have been fighting openly and secretly for many years.
Many of them were resolved by him one by one, and both parties could achieve a win-win situation.
Xiao Yue has his own bottom line for tolerance of the Feng family. He needs the power of the Feng family, and the Feng family also needs the blessing of the court. In the past few years since their identities were made public, Xiao Yue and Feng Nanjin have taken a step back from each other and coexisted peacefully.
However, it has now been revealed that Mrs. Feng is Princess Xiao, which undoubtedly gives people the feeling that the Feng family has slapped the royal family hard on the face, which the emperor will never allow.
"Feng Aiqing, do you really not know or are you just pretending to be stupid?" The emperor sneered, pointed at Tassel, and shouted straight to the point, "Who is she?"
Liusu kept his head lowered, not looking directly at the emperor. He was startled by his cold shout. His heart sank, and a chill ran down his spine. The voice was so majestic, and the sandalwood sent a pressing pressure.
It pressed heavily on her heart, and the imperial study room was obviously warm, but she was covered in cold sweat.
The atmosphere in the royal study suddenly became tense, like a full bow string. If it was loosened slightly, the crossbow arrows would shoot out. Liusu's heart was pounding. She thought of the TV series she had watched, in which the person who played the role of the emperor was always motionless.
Just one sentence: confiscation of the family and extermination of the clan, dragging them out and killing them at every turn, which made me feel a little scared.
Nan Jin didn't squint his eyes and answered the emperor's question calmly, "My wife!"
Xiao Han raised his eyebrows. It was indeed arrogant. It was an eye-opener for him. Rather than sarcastic, he might as well just sit back and watch and see how this farce ends!
"Your wife?" The emperor's eyebrows were dyed with snow, and he spoke in an extremely cold voice, "She is Fang Liusu, the princess of Xiao Wang. I am right?"
Nan Jin looked straight at the emperor and raised the corners of her lips coldly, "It was indeed Princess Xiao five years ago. However, times have changed and people have changed. She is now Feng Susu, not Fang Liusu."
"Absurd!" The emperor shouted and slammed the desk hard, causing the memorials on his desk to shake slightly. The deep sound echoed in the empty imperial study room. The emperor's voice was extremely cold, "Feng Nanjin
, you are simply lawless, do you still take me seriously? She is Princess Xiao, she will be Princess Xiao after all, and she will always be Princess Xiao, so what crime do you deserve for abducting my sister-in-law? "
The emperor's wrath was like a corpse floating hundreds of miles away. The rage was soaring and weighed heavily on the heads of Feng Nanjin and his wife. Nanjin knew from the beginning to the end that this would be a tough battle, and he had lost his most basic position.
Liusu married Xiao Jue first, which was his biggest weakness. This would make him unable to defend himself. However, he glanced at Xiao Han and sneered slightly. Nan Jin looked directly at the emperor without being humble or arrogant, and asked in a deep voice.
: "The emperor means that the marriage between the subject and his wife is invalid?"
The emperor narrowed his eyes, raised his brows sharply, and said coldly: "It's ineffective. Not only that, Fang Liusu committed the crime of seven escapes. He also faked his death and fled. He deceived his subordinates and concealed his superiors. He should be punished for his crime!"
Speaking of how Xiao Jue had been depressed for so long because of her in the past few years, and his face was tense all the time. He couldn't remember the last time he saw his brother's smile.
It was all because of her that Xiao Jue was in pain and despair. He could not spare this woman!
Nan Jin smiled coldly, "When Prince Xiao proposed marriage to Fang Fang's family, the matchmaker was marrying Fang Jinxiu, and Fang Liusu's surrogate sister's marriage was a mistake. When she married into the palace, she was first framed by Xiao Jue, and her reputation was ruined, and then she was framed by others.
I almost wanted to die, so I faked my death and ran away, but it was just to lead everything back to the right path, so what crime is there?"
"You are simply arrogant!" Seeing Nanjin mention Jinxiu, Xiao Han's evil eyes flashed with anger, and he pointed coldly at Feng Nanjin with one hand, aggressively, "Feng Nanjin, it was you who ignored the ethics and abducted Xiao.
Princess, she said it as if she was quite reasonable. Even if Fang Liusu married Fang Jinxiu in place of Fang Jinxiu, and the woman who went to court with Seventh Brother was Fang Liusu, she would be the legitimate Princess Xiao. Even if she made a mistake, she would still be Princess Xiao.
Less than a month after marrying her, he registered her name in the family tree, which means he admitted that she is Xiao Jue's wife. If you lured her to flee, you are acting lawlessly and contemptuous of the imperial power. Feng Nanjin, you still don't know your crime?
In ordinary people's homes, a woman who is widowed and married for the second time commits the crime of seven births, let alone the royal family. Moreover, my seventh brother is still alive in the world. Not only is Fang Liusu not widowed for the second time, but he also conceals the truth and fakes his own death to escape. It should have been long ago
Cut into pieces by a thousand cuts!”
Liusu's heart sank, and Xiao Han's words echoed in her ears like thunder. Xiao Jue had already included her name in the family tree back then? She had never heard Xiao Jue mention this matter. At first, she thought she would wait until Lin Yun'er was born.
After giving birth to a child, the position of princess will be hers, and Princess Xiao should be Lin Yuner. After all, she was not willing to marry her at the beginning, and she was often sarcastic. She never expected that Xiao Jue would admit that she was his wife long ago. Liusu remembered that
In the suburbs, he still looked disdainful. Even if he died at that time, he would be nameless and without distinction. Her heart sank. Xiao Jue had done a lot of things, but she didn't know it from beginning to end.
Sighing with a heavy heart, how can we avoid this disaster?
How should she repay this love debt?
The fate of the past life and the debt of this life are really an indescribable fate! Liusu felt bitter in her heart.
She managed to calm down. Emperor Xiao Han abducted the princess one by one from Nan Jin. Nan Jin did not argue. He obviously wanted to exonerate her and bear all the charges. Liu Su did not want this, so Nan Jin took everything on her.
This only made Liusu more and more panicked, as if he was determined to throw her out of this muddy water at all costs.
"Emperor..."
"Your Majesty!" Just as Liusu spoke, Nan Jin spoke in a deep voice, interrupting Liusu's words, forcing her to choke all her words. Nan Jin stared coldly, looked at the emperor deeply, and asked in a deep voice.
He said: "Your Majesty, the origin of all this is that Princess Xiao married a second time while Prince Xiao was still alive. She committed the crime of seven outbursts and brought shame to the royal family. Are you angry and want to punish us?"
The emperor knew very well that Feng Nanjin was the most intelligent and eloquent in the world, and his sharp mouth could make the zombies in the old coffin jump with rage. He did not dare to answer rashly at the moment, for fear of accidentally stepping on a trap, so he murmured to himself
Nan Jin's words. Usually when he speaks in such a harmless tone, you have to be on guard and be sure to understand what he means, otherwise you will be in a position to be beaten.
As far as the current situation is concerned, Feng Nanjin is at a disadvantage, and Fang Liusu's second marriage is the most fatal part of the whole matter. As long as this is grasped, Feng Nanjin will never be able to turn around. No matter how he argues,
This cannot be erased.
Nan Jin saw the emperor deep in thought, a cold sarcasm flashed across his half-cast eyes, and the arrogance and indifference on his eyebrows seemed to give someone frostbite. He was born to be a negotiator, so how could he put himself in a position to be beaten?
The corners of his eyes glanced at Liusu, who looked anxious and worried. Nanjin smiled slightly, with a gentle expression, like a gentle breeze blowing away all the fears and worries in Liusu's heart. Nanjin comforted her with his eyes, saying, "Be calm, don't be impatient, everything will be settled."
Giving it to him, Liusu smiled back, Nanjin, as long as you are fine, it doesn't matter anything, I will always be with you!
The complete tacit understanding alleviates the pressure from the people around them, creates a warm world that belongs only to them, and separates the coldness and oppression in the air into two spaces.
"That's right, Fang Liusu, as Princess Xiao, married a second time regardless of shame, which completely ruined the royal family's dignity and majesty. She committed a capital crime and deserves to be punished!" Xiao Yue said coldly, his eyes sharply engraved on Nan Jin's face,
What else could he say?
As long as he clung to this point, Feng Nanjin would have no power to fight back! The emperor sneered in his heart, Feng Nanjin, he had endured him for so many years and finally caught his fatal mistake, how could he let it go so easily? This time, he would definitely
We must uproot the Feng family and avoid future troubles forever!
Nan Jin's eyes were clear, and she could see the murderous look in his eyes. There was no special feeling in his heart, no expectations, no disappointment, just like a stranger.
"I remember that I asked the emperor for a gold medal to avoid death, has the emperor forgotten?" Nan Jin reminded coldly, with a calm look on his face, but his eyes were pointed at the emperor, showing no sign of compromise.
Xiao Han was stunned. When did this happen? Why didn't he know? He looked at the emperor in surprise.
The emperor reacted quickly and retorted quickly, "Feng Nanjin, the death-free gold medal was given to your wife Feng Susu, and you are with Fang Liusu. Your marriage is not recognized by the world at all. This gold medal is still valid.
What?"
"So the emperor wants to go back on his word?" Nan Jin didn't show any signs of panic. She seemed to be expecting him to do this and sneered coldly.
"Bold!" The emperor was furious, slammed the desk, and glared at Nanjin angrily, "Feng Nanjin, are you looking for death? Dare you talk to me with this attitude? If you don't want to live, just say it and I will help you!"
The emperor's roar resounded throughout the imperial study, and the tension in the atmosphere became even tighter, like an iron chain being straightened, entering the most extreme offensive state.
If an ordinary person was given such a drink by the emperor, he would have been frightened to the point of weakness, but Nan Jin remained indifferent, with his usual faint sarcasm condensed on the corner of his lips, he said coldly: "Your Majesty, do you mean Liusu's second marriage? Do you know that the Daughter Kingdom
Is it a custom? Daughters are respected and men are humbled. Women can marry twice, three times, four times... It does not violate the law. Women can have three husbands, four husbands, or even a hundred husbands. Does the Emperor know that?
?”
The emperor and Xiao Han were stunned at the same time. What did he mean? The emperor said solemnly: "The Daughter's Kingdom is the Daughter's Kingdom, and the Holy Heaven is the Holy Heaven. How can they be compared?"
Liusu was secretly surprised, was Nan Jin going to announce her identity? This monarch and his ministers were coming and going with quick thinking. Even if she lowered her head, she could feel the light and shadow of swords on the battlefield, which was extremely dangerous and terrifying. If she
When her identity is revealed, will the emperor kill her immediately or send her back to his daughter's country?
No matter which one it is, it is not what she and Nan Jin expected. If she is sent back to her daughter's country, she may never have the chance to meet Nan Jin again in her life.
When he thought of this, Liusu panicked. What did Nanjin want to do?
Nan Jin looked at the emperor coldly. The sun shone in like a palace door and enveloped his face. He was as quiet as water, like an eternal jade sculpture. A little cinnabar between his eyebrows made him even more miserable.
He twitched the corners of his lips, "Your Majesty, you don't know something. Fang Liusu is a member of the daughter's kingdom. How can she be bound by the laws of the Holy Heaven?"
"What did you say?" The emperor and Xiao Han were shocked at the same time. The two brothers opened their eyes in disbelief at the same time, their eyes as sharp as knives, and they glanced straight at Tassel.
People from the Daughter Kingdom?
There was thunder on the ground, and the two brothers of the Xiao family, who had just gained the upper hand, simultaneously remembered the armistice agreement. It said in white and black letters that the subjects of the two countries must abide by the laws of other countries in other countries. However, if they violate the laws, they must be transferred to their daughter's country.
Trial and joint sanctions based on the laws of both parties.
The Daughter Kingdom and the Holy Heaven have been separated for a long time. The customs and habits of the two countries are also different, and the revised laws are even different. To put it simply, the people of the Daughter Kingdom are not bound by the law in the Holy Heaven, and the people of the Holy Heaven are not bound by the law in the Daughter Kingdom.
The state is also not bound by the law, unless the prisoner violates the laws of both countries.
When there are inconsistencies between the laws of the two countries, the law is judged according to the laws of the country. The revision of this law has lasted for decades and is still valid today.
Fang Liusu's husband married a second time before his death, and committed a capital crime in the Holy Heaven. However, in the daughter's country, he was innocent. It was too common for one woman to have two husbands.
If you bring this matter to the daughter country, people will still laugh at Shengtian for making such a fuss and treat it as a joke after dinner.
If Fang Liusu was from the Daughter Kingdom, they would not be able to convict her at all!
"You're talking nonsense!" Xiao Han retorted immediately. He felt that his nerves were about to be broken by Feng Nanjin. Why didn't he finish the sentence at the beginning and only said now, "Fang Liusu is Jinxiu's sister?
This Jinxiu can prove that in order to exonerate Fang Liusu, you can make up any excuses?"
Nan Jin snorted and didn't answer. You idiot, he, Feng Nanjin, never tells lies. If you don't believe it, just do it yourself!
The emperor's eyes narrowed dangerously, "Fang Liusu, is what Feng Nanjin said true?"
Liusu's heart was beating wildly. I'm afraid that except Nanjin Bafengfang, everyone's nerves were tense. She responded respectfully, "Yes!"
"I don't believe it!" Xiao Han shouted sharply. He knew how much Jinxiu loved Fang Liusu. For Fang Liusu, he would even give up his own happiness. They had been at loggerheads with him for several years. For Fang Liusu, he would not even risk his own life. Such
How could he not be his biological sister if he loved her so much? Absolutely not!
"Feng Nanjin, what you said is well-founded. You said that Fang Liusu is from the Daughter's Kingdom. You just want to exonerate her. She is obviously the youngest daughter of the Fang family. How could she be a person from the Daughter's Kingdom? It's just a sect.
Nonsense!”
The emperor didn't believe it either. Under this situation, all speculations pointed to the excuse Feng Nanjin made up to exonerate Liusu. If she was from the Daughter Kingdom and was still innocent, wouldn't it be...
The emperor and Xiao Han had black lines on their faces. Isn't that Fang Liusu the same as marrying Xiao Jue and Feng Nanjin?
God, please kill me! Xiao Han wailed, how could such a tragedy happen?
If this is the case, wouldn't it mean that they have no position at all? Fang Liusu can be with whomever she likes, and she can't argue with anyone.
There is a bright future in another village, is this the situation you are talking about? It’s so dramatic!
Nan Jin smiled coldly, glanced at the two brothers, and said calmly: "If you want more evidence, the simplest thing is to let Su Su and Fang Fugui test their blood. By the way, isn't the ninth princess in the palace?
?Ask her to come over and check with Su Su to see if they are sisters. We will know immediately. If I make any lies, I will leave it to the emperor to deal with her!"
The emperor pursed his lips and shouted coldly, "Come, please invite the Ninth Princess!"
The outsider responded and took the order to leave. Xiao Han's expression tightened and he said hurriedly: "No, Jinxiu is pregnant and cannot bleed..."
Nan Jin glanced at Xiao Han with a faint look, as if he was looking at an idiot, mocking and laughing, "Your Majesty, it only takes one drop of blood to recognize a relative, not a basin of blood. It can't kill anyone, nor can it hurt anyone."
people!"
Xiao Han was startled, then realized, he was so angry that he almost jumped over and beat Nan Jin hard. He had tolerated this man for a long time, and that face, every time he showed this look, seemed to say, come on, come on,
Come and hit me! His fist is ready to move!
Jinxiu came soon. When she heard the blood test, her face turned pale, "Susu? How could..."
Liusu looked at Jinxiu apologetically, "Sister, I'm sorry!"
Jinxiu quickly calmed down, and the palace maid came over with a basin. The two sisters stood by the basin. For Liusu, if she had a choice, she would never want to hurt Jinxiu in this way.
Knowing this news, she has been sad for a long time, and Jinxiu...
"Susu..." Jinxiu called her softly, "Whether we are related by blood or not, you are still my sister, my most beloved and precious sister. If there is no blood relationship, you can escape this disaster. I hope
,our blood will not be compatible!”
"Sister..." Liusu opened her eyes in surprise, Jinxiu gave her a beautiful smile, took the silver needle, pricked her index finger, and dropped the blood into the basin.
Tassel also pricked his finger and a drop of blood dripped from it.
Xiao Han's eyes were fixed on the two drops of blood in the clear water basin, which were colliding and isolated from each other. Even if the water basin was shaken, the two drops of blood were incompatible.
Nan Jin was also a little nervous, but now she smiled slightly.
Sure enough, they are incompatible!
Jinxiu Liusu looked at each other in silence.
"Nine Kings, can you see clearly?"
"Even if they are not sisters, it does not mean that Fang Liusu is from the Daughter Kingdom!" Xiao Han said solemnly, he endured Feng Nanjin to the death, thinking to himself about Xiao Jue, where did he go?
The maid brought the water basin to the emperor. He took one look at it and waved her hand to let her go down. The matter of bleeding had come to an end. Liusu Jinxiu was not a sister.
Nan Jin said calmly: "Twenty years ago, there was a shipwreck on the Mobei Sea. Not many people survived that time, and Su Su's mother happened to be a survivor and was washed away by the current.
, fortunately, she was rescued by Fang Fugui, who was already pregnant with Su Su at that time. Her husband died in a shipwreck, and she was helpless. For Su Su, she married Fang Fugui as a concubine. The minister found out that she was a daughter of the country.
Let’s not mention that Fang Fugui is not Su Su’s biological father. Even if he is Su Su’s biological father, Su Su is not a Shengtianren family. In the daughter country, regardless of whether a woman has a child or a daughter, her household registration follows her mother’s, and Su Su naturally follows her mother!”
The emperor was silent, and his heart sank secretly. Xiao Han said in a low voice: "You said that her mother is from the Daughter's Kingdom and she is from the Daughter's Kingdom? It's been twenty years. Who knows whether it is true or not. Of course you can investigate and say
After all, how do we know whether it is true or false? Now, of course you are trying your best to exonerate Fang Liusu!"
Jinxiu suddenly remembered something, frowned, and murmured to herself, "Years ago, I went to Fengcheng with my father. He was drunk once, and he seemed to have said that Er Niang was from the daughter country, but I didn't know much about it at the time.
Pay attention. I don’t understand why my father and mother never treated Susu kindly, so that’s how it is!”
"Jinxiu, this doesn't mean that she is from the Daughter Kingdom! Don't absolve her!" Xiao Han said urgently, he should die, so that his seventh brother would not be able to express his anger and be bullied by them in vain.
"Xiao Han, what did you say?" Jinxiu glared coldly, with a cold glow. Xiao Han curled his lips. With Jinxiu here, he could only stare.
Nan Jin curled his lips and said calmly: "Your Majesty, if you don't believe me, then call Prince Xiao and ask, he already knows about this!"
The emperor and Xiao Han were stunned for a moment and looked at each other. Xiao Jue had long known that she was from the Daughter Kingdom?
As for Liusu, she didn't know the customs of the Daughter's Kingdom, so she was wondering why she could just let the matter go as it was since she was from the Daughter's Kingdom?
Nan Jin continued: "Your Majesty, as you just said, the death-free gold medal was given to my wife Feng Susu, and you think that she is Fang Liusu and should not benefit from the gold medal. On the contrary, you
That means she is admitted to be Fang Liusu. Fang Liusu is from the Daughter Kingdom and is also not bound by this law!"
"Feng Nanjin, you..." You actually deceived them step by step, damn it!
The emperor suddenly narrowed his eyes dangerously, "In that case, Feng Nanjinfang Liusu, you can stay in the palace temporarily until I find out!"
"Your Majesty, I have a residence in the capital, so there is no need to trouble Your Majesty." Nan Jin immediately refused.
"Really?" The emperor took out a red hairpin with pearls hanging from the drawer, "Can you keep this?"
Nanjin Liusu's expression changed drastically at the same time!
