Cut Frost

She recognized this earring!

"grandmother……"

Concubine Ye watched her face and said, "I heard that your grandmother often went to the mountains to pick some wild vegetables. The tigers and wolves in the mountains are very fierce. Next time you go to visit relatives, you must tell the old man to be careful."

She changed the topic, and said again: "Of course, it only works if you can get out of this palace gate alive."

Fang Qi looked at her in disbelief: "You, why did you do this?"

Empress Yizhuang tried Fangqi and Fangrong again.

As a witness, Jin Wen was still present.

Fangrong knelt down and called out her innocence.

Fangqi knelt down but said nothing.

Concubine Ye said in the seat: "There are all the witnesses and material evidences, so why should I be wronged? You two haven't brought the truth?"

"Messenger Nizi," Prime Minister Zhou Ting stepped forward and said, "The daughter of the royal family of the Huanyue Kingdom will always be married after seventeen parties."

"50." Li Yun said.

"Yes."

Fangrong cried and fell to the ground to accept the punishment.

Turning to Fangqi again: "Fangqi, are you willing to plead guilty?"

"Could it be possible that the third princess is someone else?" Nizzi envoy asked.

In the early court again, Emperor Yongping's voice was serious: "The lonely king decided to draw up an order, and the three princesses will marry Mingdan."

"Mother!" Ning Jia was shocked, her lips turned pale, she knelt down on the ground, and cried, "I beg my mother to spare Fang Qi, she will never do such a thing..."

Said to the executive maid: "Chop off your hands, drive them out of the palace gate, and never enter the palace again!"

The man turned a few street corners and returned to a man under the shadow of a tree.

"Fang Qi..." Ning Jia and Fang Rong knelt on the ground, crying uncontrollably.

"What?" Empress Yizhuang wondered.

Fang Qi went on to say: "It's the slaves who shouldn't be greedy, and they are obsessed with ghosts for a while..."

Empress Yizhuang said to Fangqi: "Fangqi, you have always been mature and prudent, how could you be so confused?"

"Empress," Cheng Fei got up and said to Empress Yizhuang, "This Fangqi has been in the palace for many years, but today she just made a mistake on a errand, so let her give her a chance to correct herself."

"It was originally Sanmei's stuff. I just borrowed it to wear it for a few days. I should return it to Sanmei now, otherwise..." Ning Yang paused at this point.

Ning Yang stood up, pointed at Fangqi and shouted to Empress Yizhuang: "Mother, it really is her!"

Several people in the market took the silver and scattered away.

"Mother, no, don't..." Ning Jia cried immediately.

"Your Majesty," Huaihua General Qiao Lingyu said, "the final general is willing to go to Ming Dan to make contributions to the country."

Fangrong also cried and fell to the ground: "I beg the empress to spare Fangqi."

Hearing this, Ning Jia stood up and said tremblingly, "Fang Qi, it's not..."

"Fang Qi does things alone, and I can only blame myself for failing the kindness of the empress and the third princess..." Fang Qi said.

Then he ordered the servants around him: "Go and find out what it is."

"No!" Fang Qi hurriedly said, then turned to Ning Jia and said, "Third Princess, it is Fang Qi who is confused and failed you..."

"I also ask the empress to be lenient as appropriate." Chengfei said.

General Pang Huahu of Yunhui led an army of 15 to Hedao City.

At dusk the next day, Yufeng Frontier Express came:
The Yufeng Kingdom has assembled an army of 20 and is making a comeback. The battle in the border city of Hedao is tense, so please send troops for reinforcements!

"In Mingdan, you can get married after the age of 12, and the third princess should have passed this age." Nizi envoy said.

Li Yun, Minister of the Ministry of War, said: "Except for the troops stationed by all sides, most of them are in the battle of Chiyue and Yufeng. Now there are about [-] troops available."

"Then Concubine Cheng thinks, how should I deal with it?" Empress Yizhuang said.

The attendant went over to ask a few people for a while, and came back to report to the Nizi envoy.

The envoy of Nizh heard this, and immediately ordered his attendants: "Quickly go and find out."

Empress Yizhuang said again: "Although Fangrong didn't participate in this matter, but she was not careful in her words and actions, she is responsible for receiving ten lashes and three months of silver as a punishment."

The servant took the order and left.

"I heard that the third son of the Xiao family has absconded in fear of crime, does the Holy Majesty still want him to be his son-in-law?" the envoy of Nizi asked.

Ning Jia's tears rolled down, and she kowtowed to Empress Yizhuang and begged, "Mother, please spare Fangqi."

The Yufeng war resumed, and the military situation was urgent. Emperor Yongping dispatched troops overnight.

"The envoy must not misunderstand, it is true that a young girl is difficult for a country, other than that, if the envoy asks anything, the lonely king will definitely do his best." Emperor Yongping said.

A man came out of the hiding place and gave some money to some people in the market.

"Okay, before noon the day after tomorrow, Nizi will wait for the Holy Majesty's order at the posthouse," Nizi said.

"Since the second princess of your country has already promised her, and I, Mingdan, can't force others to do things against me, please ask the Holy Admiral, the third princess, to give me King Jinwu as queen." The envoy of Nizi said.

"Otherwise what?" Empress Yizhuang frowned.

"Yes." Concubine Cheng, Concubine Ye, Ning Jia, Ning Yang and others saluted and retreated.

"Slave, slave girl, willing to obey..." Fang Qi kowtowed in the tunnel, "Thank you empress for not killing me."

"This time, Nizi was ordered by King Jinwu to come here a thousand miles away. He only wished for a permanent alliance between the two countries, but the Holy Majesty has repeatedly shirked it. Is he unwilling to make friends with Mingdan again?" Nizi said respectfully However, these few words are heavy.

"Could it be that there are other people involved in this matter?" Ning Yang approached Fang Qi a step, and said sternly.

"Forget it." Empress Yizhuang said, "Ning Jia, you should keep this purple jade bracelet."

"She has already admitted it herself, how can there be a lie? Stealing and stealing things from the palace is not an exaggeration to impose a death penalty. Now it is so light." Ning Yang snorted.

"Why should the envoy be so impatient, and let Gu Wang discuss this matter with all the ministers again." Emperor Yongping said.

Empress Yizhuang looked at Ning Jia and said slowly: "According to the rules in the palace, those who steal will be punished according to their value. This purple jade bracelet is priceless, and it is a tribute from Mingdan, so it is a capital offense." It is also within the legal principles. It is extremely merciful to save her life and hand now."

"The maids of the Jianjia Palace stole tributes, and the palace rules have been established. No further discussion of this matter is allowed. Tomorrow's decree, all palaces will take it as a warning to clean up the inner palace." Empress Yizhuang said.

"No." Fangqi said hastily, "It's all because Fangqi is confused, she doesn't know about Fangrong."

"Ning Yang, since you have found this purple jade bracelet, you can take it back." Empress Yizhuang said to Ning Yang.

"Fang Qi..." Ning Jia looked at Fang Qi with tears in her eyes.

"Is Fangrong involved in this matter?" Queen Yizhuang asked again.

"Yes..." Ning Jia was still crying and fell to the ground. Concubine Cheng helped her up, and she went to take the bracelet.

The Nizi envoy returned to the post house by himself.

The Nizi envoy went back to the post house with a flick of his sleeves.

Under the whirling shadow of the tree, Meng Han said with a smile: "It's done well."

It seems to hear such words as "Mingdan tribute", "stealing" and "princess".

"Your Majesty, the last general is not afraid to bury his bones on the battlefield for Bao Huanyue." Qiao Lingyu knelt down.

"Then just chop off her hand and drive her out of the palace, so that her memory will be long and she can't do this kind of thing again." Empress Yizhuang said.

The Nizi envoy met again and proposed a new method.

The Nizi envoy walked out of the post house not far away, and saw a few people from the market gathering together, whispering and discussing.

"How many Ming Dans are there?" Emperor Yongping asked again.

Empress Yizhuang got up and said, "Since you have pleaded guilty, then deal with it according to the palace rules."

"General Qiao is utterly loyal, and the lonely king is deeply moved." Emperor Yongping nodded, "However, since Mingdan accepted his surrender, although he seemed humble, he never really surrendered. In the past few years, he has been looking for capable people, Day and night, we drill our troops, and we are ready to go to war at any time. Now that we are surrounded by enemies from north to south, and the battlefield is full of noise, it is really inappropriate to start another war."

"Indeed, I promised." Emperor Yongping said.

Fang Rong was also taken aback: "Fang Qi, you must not be blind!"

"Your Majesty..." Qiao Lingyu waited for further words.

In the afternoon, a female corpse was picked up from the river, and the severed hand was still dripping with blood.

"Empress," Fang Qi prostrated herself, "yes, it was taken by the servant..."

"This..." Emperor Yongping was afraid that he would say this, and he didn't want to hear it today.

"Since this is the case, Nizi will set off for Mingdan tomorrow and report the truth to King Jinwu that Mingdan is weak and the king is young, so it is difficult to be a good match for the princess." Nizi envoy said.

Then two court ladies came up and pulled Fang Qi down.

"Your majesty, seventy thousand is enough." Qiao Lingyu said.

"Yes, Messenger Nizi, the third princess is young and ignorant, so she is not suitable for marriage at the moment. If you have other requirements, the messenger can just speak up." Emperor Yongping said.

Concubine Ye also got up, and said to Empress Yizhuang: "Please, empress, empress, deal with it fairly!"

Suddenly there are rumors in the streets and alleys: a court lady who stole tribute was chopped off with one hand and kicked out.

"General Qiao, how many troops does Huanyue have now?" Emperor Yongping said.

"The third princess is still young, although she and the second princess were betrothed at the same time, it will take a few years before they get married." Emperor Yongping said.

"Mother," Ning Yang suddenly knelt down on the ground, and said to Empress Yizhuang, "You should return this bracelet to Third Sister."

"No, it's nothing." Ning Yang said, "In short, this bracelet belongs to Third Sister, so I just give it back to her now."

Emperor Yongping waved his hand and said, "Ming Dan's victory or defeat is not a matter of General Qiao alone. If he loses this time, and Ming Dan's army is overwhelmed, how can we save him?"

Qiao Lingyu had no choice but to return to everyone.

Emperor Yongping's court drafted a decree: the third princess Yin Ningjia and the pro-Mingdan King Jinwu.

Ning Jia and Chi Rin were the most shocked when the imperial decree came down.

Ning Jia burst into tears all the time because of Fang Qi's incident, but when she suddenly accepted the imperial decree, it was like a thunderbolt and made things worse, and she sat paralyzed on the ground.
