The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 93
Lin Zisu had been in the Luo mansion, and sat with the Luo family sisters until dusk before returning to the mansion.

As soon as she entered the house, the steward of the concierge hurriedly informed her that it was Lin Yuanzhi who had sent a message since he left the yamen, asking her to go to the outer study when she got home.

Lin Yuanzhi had been waiting in the study for a while, and was drinking tea in the study with a sullen face. When Lin Zisu came in, his expression eased a little, and he said, "Elder sister, listen to your mother, you I went to the Luo Mansion to see a doctor for Princess Wei, how is her condition?"

Lin Zisu briefly described Luo Ying's condition, only saying that she was poisoned, but did not say the reason for the poisoning.Unexpectedly, Lin Yuanzhi was extremely uncomfortable after hearing this, and he said after a long while, "I met Prince Wei's son today."

In the past two days, the situation in the capital has been changing, and the palace summoned all civil and military officials early in the morning to participate in the morning court.This court meeting was hosted by Xie Yao. Unexpectedly, several princes also participated in the court meeting.

Due to the serious illness of the emperor, the law and order in Beijing became more and more chaotic. Although the martial law was lifted, a large number of forbidden troops still gathered in various important passes.

As a result, it is obviously not enough to rely solely on Jingzhao Mansion to maintain law and order in Beijing.

Zhang Ruogu, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, suggested that a large number of meritorious children have nothing to do in Wucheng Bingmasi all day long, so they might as well assist Jingzhao Mansion.

Xie Yao immediately approved Zhang Ruogu's request, because Xu Wentao, the deputy commander of Beicheng Bingma Division, had been allowed to go out with the army, the third prince Xie Hui recommended Xie Yan, the eldest son of Wei Wangfu, on the spot.

The Ministry of Industry and Construction Department where Lin Yuanzhi worked was originally an idle yamen, and those trivial official affairs were really not easy to talk about at the court meeting. Every time he participated in the court meeting, he was just participating.

After the court meeting was over, Lin Yuanzhi was about to go back to the Yamen when Xie Yan stopped him.

Xie Yan talked about the marriage proposal before the Longevity Festival in Prince Wei's Mansion, and said that in a few days, people would be sent to the mansion to discuss the details of the marriage.

Because Lin Zizhu's marriage was only Huang's verbal consent, and there was no proof, Lin Yuanzhi's idea was to "delay".

The emperor was still ill, and the Palace of Wei would not rush to get married if he was concerned about the influence of the court. If the emperor couldn't afford it, it would be a national mourning, and this so-called marriage would naturally fall through.

Unexpectedly, this Prince Wei's heir actually approached him directly, and there was a vague attitude of superiority in his words, which made Lin Yuanzhi extremely uncomfortable.

Lin Yuanzhi had been thinking about how to deal with it all day long, and when he got home, he heard that Lin Zisu was visiting Princess Wei, so he wanted to ask his daughter about it.

Lin Zisu heard that Xie Yan took the initiative to come to the door to urge the marriage, she felt a little nervous, fearing that her father would accidentally agree, she quickly asked, "Then what did the father tell the prince of Wei?"

"What else can I say? Naturally, your second uncle hasn't returned to Beijing yet, so our family can't be the master. We can't afford to mess with Prince Wei's mansion, so we can only take one step at a time."

Lin Yuanzhi was upset, he paced the room unconsciously, and said: "This stupid woman Huang is still thinking about letting Zizhu marry into Prince Wei's mansion, how could such a mother put herself in the palace?" daughter into the fire pit!"

Lin Zisu immediately remembered what happened to Luo Ying. Although Luo Ying didn't say it clearly, what she meant was that she was forced to marry by her father Luo Wencheng, and she had no choice but to marry into Prince Wei's Mansion.

Thinking of this, Lin Zisu couldn't help feeling a little distrustful of her father's decision, but she had never met that second uncle, if he was like Huang, then Lin Zizhu's life would be ruined.

Lin Zisu tried to ask: "Father, what kind of person is my second uncle?"

For the next two days, Kang Ningbo's mansion was calm and calm, it seemed that the Wei Wang's mansion had no choice but to take Lin Yuanzhi's statement, so it stopped.

Lin Zisu was in the kitchen one day, trying to figure out how to improve the taste of the red bean cake. Just as she was grinding the mixed red beans into puree, she saw Fei Cui running in from the outside, and said out of breath: " Miss, there are two messengers from the Metropolitan Procuratorate looking for you outside."

Lin Zisu was puzzled when she first heard it, but after a few breaths, she roughly guessed what was going on.

When we arrived at the front yard, we heard a chubby official say: "You are Miss Lin, right? The Crown Princess of Wei beat the Dengwen Drum and sued the Crown Prince of Wei for murdering his wife. Master Zuodu Censor Shitao issued a summons , please go over and ask."

When the Taizu founded the country, in order to make the people's voice reach the sky, according to the rules of the previous dynasty, the Dengwen Drum Court was set up, and special officials were set up to manage it. Any wronged people who beat the Dengwen Drum to appeal must go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Accept it in person, and if any officials obstruct it, they will be sentenced severely.

The majestic Prince Wei's concubine sued the crown prince, which was a major event that caused a sensation in the capital. When Lin Zisu arrived at the Metropolitan Procuratorate with the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the door was already surrounded by people who didn't know the truth.

Amidst the noisy voices, Lin Zisu and Lve Ying followed the officials and squeezed into the Metropolitan Procuratorate and stepped into the main hall.However, Lve Ying was treated as an "irrelevant person" and was stopped outside the main hall.

Luo Ying was sitting in the lobby, and when she saw Lin Zisu walking in, she stood up and said apologetically, "Miss Lin, I'm really sorry for dragging you in."

Lin Zisu gave Luo Ying a knowing smile, and then greeted several officials in the lobby.

She is the eldest lady of Conningbo's Mansion, and she can be regarded as a person with a little status, but she simply gave a few blessings to a few people.

Sitting in the middle of the lobby of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was Tao Ran, the Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who was not in the mood to care about Lin Zisu's salute at all.

Ever since he bit the bullet and accepted Luo Ying's challenge, his eyelids twitched.

Since his accession to the throne today, he has been very tolerant towards the clan vassals. The censors have participated in the clan memorials. In the past few decades, the emperor has not approved a few.

King Wei is the younger brother of the current emperor, a dignified close prince, and he can't take care of his housework, and he doesn't dare to take care of it.

It happened that the concubine of Prince Wei rang the Dengwen drum. The Emperor Taizu had a decree that the sound of the Dengwen drum be heard in the sky. Whenever the drum sounds, there must be an echo.

In other words, no matter what the reason for this matter is, I have to report it to the emperor.

But my own Metropolitan Procuratorate is not here to mediate the affairs of the clan!

Tao Ran looked at Luo Ying with some resentment, slandering in his heart, is this concubine not good at thinking? With her status, she can enter and leave the palace freely, and she will go directly to the empress to uphold justice, and insist on stabbing the matter to herself Here, isn't it just looking for trouble!

Fortunately, I also took some measures and invited Chang Guogong, who is in charge of the clan affairs, and Qiu Guangzu, the Minister of Dali Temple, to listen in. Even if something happened, I couldn't bear the responsibility alone.

Tao Ran first asked Duke Chang: "My lord, I'm about to start questioning you, do you think it's appropriate?"
