After the eldest princess was reborn, she was forced to bind the power system

Chapter 246 Even if I die, I will never betray His Highness!

"If your Highness wishes, can you please use me for a little longer." A little longer would be good.

He knew he was greedy, but...he was only greedy for her.

Xia Hanyu raised her hand to hold his face, "How did you know that I was just using you? If I was just using you, why would I let my father grant us a marriage?"

"You should know that given my current importance to Daxia and my status in the heart of my father, even if there is no marriage granted, if a foreigner wants to marry me, they can only send a proton into my house as a gift to marry me."

"Aji, please remember one thing: don't betray me, then my heart will only be yours."

She grabbed his hand and placed it on her heart. It was soft and throbbing, but there was only piety in his eyes.

"I will never betray His Highness even until my death!"

……

Early the next morning, a slightly brighter light came in from the window, and a figure in front of the bed subconsciously stood to the side, just in time to block the glare falling on the eyes of the person on the bed.

At this time, Xia Han's eyelashes moved slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes, then closed them again, and then opened them again after a while to adapt.

Xia Ji stepped forward and helped her up, and Li Yaoyao sat sideways.

"Where's Poria?"

By this time, Poria should have arrived.

"I saw that you hadn't woken up, so I asked her to take someone to wait outside for a while."

Xia Ji spoke and handed her the water on the side.

Xia Hanyu took it and gargled, "Let her come in."

"Ah."

Xia Ji's face showed slight disappointment, and his voice was deep, "Come in."

The next second, Poria walked in quickly with two serving palace attendants. The palace attendants held in their hands the gorgeous clothes that the eldest princess should wear.

"Your Highness!"

Seeing Li Yaoyao again, Fuling's eyes turned red.

If she hadn't just succumbed to the majesty of Commander Xia, she would have come in to serve him earlier.

"I've lost some weight."

Xia Hanyu raised his hand and touched her little face.

"I miss you, Your Highness."

Having said that, Fu Ling quickly helped Xia Hanyu wash up, neatly dressed in royal clothes, and Xia Hanyu quickly transformed back into the aloof eldest princess.

"Your Highness, Luanjia is currently parked in the princess's residence, and the servants secretly came out with someone."

"Actually, Your Highness, you could let your servant out of the palace yesterday, so that I could pick you up last night." Now that we have been delayed for one night, the girl has been out for so long. She looks much thinner. She must have eaten a lot. bitter.

"No problem." Xia Hanyu chuckled, raised his hand and placed it on Fu Ling's arm, stood up and walked out.

Zuo just wanted to stay one more night as he pleased, so he did.

It was still early at this time, but the servants in the courtyard had basically gotten up. There were only two or three people in total, who were arranged by Xia Ji to go to the old man's courtyard.

"I was supposed to go say hello to the old man. I'm afraid it's inconvenient today. I'll come over to see him next time."

Xia Hanyu said to Xia Ji with side eyes.

Xia Ji nodded, "I will send you to His Highness's palace in a moment."

The eldest princess has a princess mansion outside the palace, but it is mostly unoccupied on weekdays, but there are people who take care of it.

"Okay." Xia Hanyu did not refuse him, and the group quickly returned to the house.

Xia Ji only sent her through the door and watched her enter the house before leaving.

"Your Highness, Mr. Xia is very reluctant to leave you." Xia Ji is Xia Hanyu's future husband, so naturally he will be half of Poria's master in the future. Seeing that they have a good relationship, she is also happy.

"He's just not used to it."

After all, they have been together for such a long time, and now that they are separated, it is inevitable that they will be reluctant to part with each other.

What's more, now his heart and eyes are full of her.

Xia Hanyu smiled and returned to the hall, feeling lighter.

Acting and stuff like that are actually quite tiring.

Xia Hanyu leaned softly on the soft body.

"Fu Ling, during these days when I was away, what interesting things happened inside and outside the palace?"

"Is there anything interesting? I have to think about it, slave."

Fu Ling has been worried about Li Yaoyao every day these days, and is careful not to let anyone interested in the princess's palace get in. She really doesn't have much to worry about anything else.

"Your Highness, I heard that an interesting thing happened in the capital recently, but I shouldn't say it was an interesting thing."

A maid from the Princess Mansion who was waiting on the side hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

"Oh, tell me."

Xia Hanyu was interested.

The other party thought for a moment and then said, "Your Highness does not know something. Three days ago, the Dengwen drum was beaten."

Dengwen Drum: In ancient times, in order to show that they listened to the opinions or grievances of their subjects, emperors hung drums outside the court hall and allowed their subjects to beat the drums to listen. This was called "Dengwen Drum".

When Xia Hanyu heard this, she straightened up immediately, and Fuling quickly stepped forward to help her.

"You mean, someone complained about injustice? What's the follow-up?"

Although Daxia continued the Dengwengu incident in the previous dynasty and established the Dengwen Procuratorate, there were dedicated people responsible for accepting complaints from the people, and then directly submitted them to the father for trial. If the people encountered illegal acts or unfair treatment by local officials, they could also go to Go to the capital to beat drums and complain.

However, when people sue an official, they are suing beyond the level. If the person being sued is not an official who committed stolen goods, nor was he illegally robbed or killed, and is not within the scope of the case being tried, it will be deemed as a superordinate complaint, and the person who files the complaint may also have to peel off his skin. of.

What's more, according to the laws of Daxia, when people sue an official, regardless of whether the complaint is excessive, they need to be whipped twenty times before someone will accept the case. And whoever files a complaint must provide evidence. If there is no evidence, it will disturb the officialdom of His Majesty, and it is a crime of deceiving the emperor.

"The girl was judged to have made a false accusation. First she was whipped twenty times, and then she was beaten thirty times. I don't know if she is still alive."

Xu Du was a little girl. When she heard about such a thing, she couldn't help but sympathize with her.

Xia Hanyu was thoughtful, "Who did the girl accuse and what did she accuse?"

"This……"

The eldest maid glanced at Fuling asking for help, but hesitated to say anything.

"Say it, I forgive you."

Even if she doesn't say it, I'm afraid it's either the officials protecting each other or... it's related to the royal family.

Fu Ling also remembered this matter, "Your Highness, I have also heard about this matter. The person the woman told was the prince-in-law. It seems that he colluded with the government and swallowed up their business, and he also wanted to take her in." As a concubine, everyone in the girl's family is now locked up in the Yamen, just waiting for her to compromise. She never thought that she would dare to go to Beijing directly to complain; but now it is said that it has been clarified that all these were done by the woman in order to seduce the prince-in-law. "

Complaints to the emperor were also a very frightening and unbelievable thing for slaves like them.

Normally, the slaves in the palace would swallow their grievances by themselves and would not even dare to mention it to their master. She was lucky enough to have followed Her Royal Highness the Princess since she was a child and had never encountered such a thing.

But even so, Fuling still knew some things, and would also listen to other eunuchs and maids in the palace talking about them.

But for some reason, Fu Ling always felt that it sounded a little weird.

And it was related to the eldest princess. The eldest princess had a good relationship with the eldest princess, so she didn't listen when she heard it.

After all, the prince-in-law of Daxia is absolutely not allowed to have concubines, not even outside concubines.

　The eldest princess is a title.
