Shen Mingtang suddenly panicked, and Aunt He also confirmed his idea. She thought that the master was busy and had not returned from the Yamen.
Later, someone came to deliver a message saying that the emperor had ordered that the princess be beheaded at noon tomorrow.
Aunt He was so panicked that she didn't know what to do. She sent someone to deliver a letter to Shen Mingtang, but he was busy with something and couldn't find him for a while.
They struggled separately and finally met in Shen Mingtang's study. It was already late at night.
Wen Songzhi drank a cup of tea and wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, "I went to find Lao Xia, but he couldn't do anything. This time, he was not allowed to participate in the Dali Temple operation. He was obviously being excluded.
I'm on guard, for fear that he will have some relationship with the prince."
He put the teapot on the table and said, "It's so irritating!"
Originally, they wanted to find out through Xia Zhilin, but that was no longer possible. It seemed that the queen was on guard. She knew that Xia Zhilin, Xiao Xian and Shen Mingzhu had participated in the robbery of the Liu family together, so they must have some friendship, so they abandoned him.
Out.
For a while, these people were all anxious and anxious, especially the girls, who all started crying.
On the other hand, Biyun, Liubo, Zaoying, Qingluo, Granny Xin, Aunt Zheng and others are very calm. After following Shen Mingzhu for a long time, they have also developed a calm temperament. The first thing is to be calm and not in a hurry when things happen, otherwise
When people panic, they may do irrational things.
Then it will be even worse.
Wen Songzhi was anxious, "Everyone is saying that Your Majesty does not want to kill Shen Mingzhu, and the Queen is just making an edict. If this is the case, I should go to the palace overnight and go to the Emperor to plead for mercy. At least let the Emperor make it clear to him.
Tell us.”
Shen Mingtang glanced at him, "Who do you think you are? Are you a prince, a prince, or a prince?"
Wen Songzhi was speechless.
Shen Mingtang said: "According to our understanding of the Third Highness, why didn't he intercede for Mingzhu? He will definitely go to His Majesty and the Emperor, but the result can be imagined and will never be optimistic. Do you think things are that simple?
, is it true that the emperor didn’t want to, and the empress made an edict?”
Wen Songzhi muttered: "That's what is said outside."
Shen Mingtang shook his head, "What is said outside is naturally justified by outsiders, but in fact, we all know very well who the emperor is. Based on your own understanding, do you think the emperor will be the kind of person you don't want to do?
Was he forced to do this? If he didn't want to give the order and the queen really did it, would he allow it? In my opinion, even if the queen was pushing for this, the main problem lies with the emperor. It must be
The emperor first stated the imperial edict, and then the queen could add fuel to the flames. Moreover, the emperor must have tacitly approved of the queen's actions, otherwise with his temperament, he would never allow anyone to overstep his authority."
When he said this, Wen Songzhi and others also felt the same way.
"Second Master, what do you want to do?"
Biyun and others are still very convinced of Shen Mingtang, because they know that the second master is sincerely good for the eldest lady and is the best brother in the world.
Shen Mingtang thought for a while, "We have to contact Mr. Mo and the others to see if you, the eldest lady, can get in touch with them. In addition, everyone, don't be anxious, we must stay calm, otherwise nothing can be done if we get into trouble.
