As soon as Xia Boran finished dressing up, he felt much more energetic.
So, while the sky was still dark, Xia Boran drove towards the palace.
However, Xia Boran was quietly listening to the ministers' performance in the court, when drums sounded outside the palace.
Soon a guard came forward and knelt down and said:
"When I returned to the emperor, a woman knelt down at the palace gate and beat the drum to complain to the emperor."
As soon as the words "complaint" came out, there was an uproar.
You know, the Great Zhou Kingdom is now considered a peaceful and prosperous time.
Even though there was a big snowstorm a year ago, it was all weathered safely under the emperor's wise leadership.
Nowadays, the common people of the Zhou Dynasty do not say that the emperor governs the world well and that he is a benevolent monarch and a sage.
The matter of filing a complaint seems to be very far away from them.
More importantly, this petition can not be obtained casually.
You know, it is not easy for ordinary people to beat the drum.
As soon as you get close to the big drum, guards will usually come out to stop you.
After all, this kind of complaint that goes directly to heaven is quite taboo.
Today this woman sued so smoothly, many people had to suspect that there must be someone behind this woman's back.
Otherwise, this thing would not have happened today.
Thinking of this, everyone was shocked.
If there was someone behind that woman, then the person she sued would probably have nothing to eat and walk away today.
In the court, there are friends and foes.
Before the situation becomes clear, everyone is worried that they will be the one who failed miserably today.
"Oh, go and find out. If there is really a serious grievance, bring it to the palace."
Sure enough, the emperor showed great interest and said he wanted to bring the woman here.
When Xia Boran heard that a woman had complained, he felt strange and frowned.
When the woman who complained was beaten up, Xia Boran felt not weird, but terrified.
Because the person who came to complain today is none other than Ning Zhen, who should stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion and pretend to be his scholar!
Xia Boran looked at Ning Zhen with confusion and asked with his eyes why Ning Zhen came here this time.
Xia Boran knew that since Ning Zhen came to file a complaint, she should be helping Ning's father reverse the case.
But if Ning Zhen doesn't have evidence, she can't just cry out for injustice. Ning's father's injustice can really be redressed.
Isn't it because Ning Zhen didn't file a complaint and even took refuge with him? Isn't it because Ning Zhen had no evidence?
But today Ning Zhen actually went to the Jinluan Palace to complain.
Xia Boran was shocked. Could it be that Ning Youwei left some evidence for Ning Zhen?
If so, why didn't Ning Zhen ever mention it to him?
"Who are you?"
The emperor indeed looked at Ning Zhen with interest.
Because the emperor knew that the reason why Ning Zhen was able to file a petition was because of his imperial sister.
In the emperor's impression, except for his youngest son Zhou Xuanxi, who could attract the attention of the imperial sister.
In fact, the imperial sister does not have much enthusiasm for this world.
For this reason, for the sake of Princess Jing, the emperor must also review this matter carefully.
"If I return to the emperor, the guilty girl is Ning Zhen, the daughter of Ning Weifa, the prefect of Zhoudu."
Ning Zhen lowered her head, her heart beating wildly in her chest.
Dad, my daughter can finally clear the wrongs for you and the Ning family!
"Sinful girl?"
Upon hearing these two words, the emperor's eyes flashed. The emperor still had some impression of the words Ning Youwei.
