1944. Chapter 1944 The Drum of the Middle Hall

Seeing each other again at this time, Chu Yuanzhou's heart moved. He originally thought that Princess Qionghua had a little affection for Bai Luoxu, but the love should not be too strong, otherwise the two of them would not be able to remain so cold and indifferent.

But when he saw her like this, he felt that he still hadn't seen clearly Princess Qionghua's feelings for Bai Luo, or that Princess Qionghua herself hadn't figured it out before. This time Bai Luo was imprisoned.

, but Princess Qionghua saw this relationship clearly.

But he soon understood that with a temperament like Princess Qionghua's, one either doesn't love, or loves deeply.

In his opinion, being imprisoned this time may not be a bad thing for Bai Luo.

His eyes moved slightly and he said, "Does Auntie really have Bai Luo in her heart?"

"Yes." Princess Qionghua nodded and said, "Xiao Chuan'er, I know you must have a way to save him, right?"

"There is a way, but I can't save him. The only person who can save him is my aunt." Chu Yuanzhou looked at Princess Qionghua and said.

"Tell me what you can do!" Princess Qionghua said loudly.

Chu Yuanzhou glanced at Princess Qionghua and said: "That method must have the courage of my aunt to sacrifice herself, otherwise I'm afraid it won't work."

Princess Qionghua asked: "You don't have to show off, as long as you can save him, I can do anything you want."

"If Bai Luo could hear what my aunt said, he would probably be willing to let him die." Chu Yuanzhou said half-jokingly.

Princess Qionghua's brows furrowed, and Chu Yuanzhou finally said slowly: "Drum in the middle hall."

Princess Qionghua was stunned for a moment after hearing Chu Yuanzhou's words. She was from the royal family, so she naturally knew what a drum was.

But Chu Yuanzhou just glanced at Princess Qionghua and said: "There is only one way, it is up to my aunt to decide whether to do it or not."

Princess Qionghua's face was pale and she stood there motionless. Chu Yuanzhou didn't speak any more, looked at Princess Qionghua again and left.

Princess Qionghua bit her lip gently, and then said loudly to the attendant beside her: "Go to Minglou!"

Minglou is the northernmost building of the palace, facing the central avenue of the palace. From there, you can see the long and winding white jade steps in the palace, and you can also see the tall palace hall.

The main hall drum is in Minglou.

The central hall drum was originally established to give the wronged people a chance to speak out. Initially, as soon as the drum was beaten, the chief judge of the Third Criminal Division would go to the long hall to question the case.

However, since ancient times, officials have always complained against each other, and the people who beat the drums have always been those corrupt officials. The Third Punishment Division has offended too many people because of this incident, and many times it is afraid to accuse those high-ranking officials.

The emperor at that time did not know this secret, but the left prime minister said in front of the emperor that those who beat the drum were mostly uneducated common people, and the things they stated were often irrelevant, so a good system must be established.

, raise the requirements for beating the drum, so that people who have no real grievances can beat it without any trouble.

And those common people who can endure those demands often have great grievances, and such grievances are often related to the powerful people in the court, so those cases are often left unsolved.

Therefore, the nave drum has a history of more than 100 years since its establishment, and it has never been beaten during these years.
