Ancient Imperial Examination Daily

Chapter 816
Zhao Mingyue's expression froze.

She was very angry, very very angry, but she didn't know where to vent her anger.After all, Du Jinning has always rejected her and never coaxed her.It was she who wanted to like Du Jinning desperately, and tried every means to marry Du Jinning.

So, she can only be angry with herself.

She never wanted Du Jinning's life.

"Since you know it's a crime of deceiving the emperor, why do you still do it?" She asked with a straight face.

Du Jinning sighed: "On the day I was born, my father heard the news and came back from the county at night. He fell into a ditch and died. My grandparents said that my father was going to drown me. In order to keep me alive, my mother and The grandmother who helped deliver the baby kept it from them and lied that I was a boy."

She told Zhao Mingyue everything about her from childhood to adulthood; she also told how in order to survive and to be separated from the Du family, she worshiped Guan Lehe as her teacher and became a student of Boyue Academy.

"I have never had enough food since I was a child. I will never forget the feeling of starvation. Therefore, when I found out that I am very talented in planting, my first thought was to develop rice with high yield. Let the people in the world have enough to eat. And to study rice, you need to be an official first, otherwise there is no such condition."

Zhao Mingyue was well-clothed and well-fed since she was a child, and she didn't know the sufferings of the people.Hearing about Du Jinning's tragic experience as a child, he sympathized with her very much, and half of the anger in his heart disappeared.Hearing that she disregarded her own safety and disguised herself as a man to take the imperial examination in order to feed the common people all over the world, I was filled with admiration.

She couldn't help boasting: "You are amazing."

Du Jinning shook his head and sighed: "But in the end, he committed the crime of deceiving the emperor."

She put down the teacup and stood up: "Let's go, let's enter the palace."

Zhao Mingyue then stood up: "Aren't you afraid of death?"

"Afraid, why not be afraid? But people will die, isn't it? It's just that death is heavier than Mount Tai, and death is lighter than a feather. I don't want to be an ignorant village woman who will surround the stove after getting married. Turn around, I served men and children, and I was beaten and scolded. God gave me the ability to never forget, and the ability to handle crops, so I hope to do something for the common people. Now that my wish is fulfilled, I will die without regret .”

As she spoke, she walked out, halfway through, suddenly seemed to remember something, and slapped her forehead: "Ah, my clothes."

She turned around, took a look at Zhao Mingyue, and said in a discussing tone: "Why don't we delay for a while and wait for Aquarius to iron the official uniforms before we enter the palace?"

She paused: "Of course, if you can't wait, ask the servants to find a coat for me. I can't go out in a coat. I'm not afraid, because I'm dying anyway; it will affect your princess. Bad reputation."

The expression on Zhao Mingyue's face was very complicated.

She sat back on the seat again and whispered: "Sit down."

"Ah? What did you say?" Du Jinning asked in surprise.

"I said, sit down. Who said you will die." Zhao Mingyue raised her voice, "What good will it do me to kill you?"

She turned her head and glared at Du Jinning, the princess's coquettish air came out again: "I tell you to sit and you sit, why are there so many nonsense."

"Okay." Du Jinning walked across to her and sat down.

Zhao Mingyue looked up at her: "Are you really a girl?"

Du Jinning nodded: "Of course it's true. I plead guilty to decapitation because I'm sick."

Zhao Mingyue choked, and couldn't help but glared at Du Jinning again: "Since you know it's a crime of beheading, shouldn't you kneel down and beg my princess? Maybe if I say something nice to my imperial brother, my imperial brother will spare you One life."

Du Jinning hesitated for a moment, then seriously considered this question.

In view of the habit of the ancients to kneel down at every turn, Du Jinning never thought that he could keep his knees in ancient times, especially for imperial power.

Although she had the iron certificate of the alchemy book, she expected that Zhao Wu would not be willing to kill her, but if Zhao Mingyue was in the middle to help mediate, at least Zhao Wu would not be so angry, and he would treat her better when they met in the future.

Thinking of this, she stood up and planned to kneel down as soon as she lifted her front.

In fact, Zhao Mingyue was annoyed that she was cheated by Du Jinning, and she was an indiscriminate fool for nothing, and she was upset, so she wanted to make things difficult for Du Jinning.Seeing that Du Jinning really wanted to kneel down for her at this time, she was a little afraid to accept it.

Du Jinning is a strange woman, a person who has made great contributions to the country, and Zhao Mingyue respects her from the bottom of her heart.

She quickly raised her hand to help her: "It's alright, it's alright, no need to kneel. I will help you intercede."

Du Jinning was stunned for a moment, and then bowed deeply to Zhao Mingyue: "Thank you princess for your generosity, spare my life." She was naturally unwilling to kneel if she could keep her integrity.After finishing, he sat down again.

Zhao Mingyue glanced at her: "Does Qi Muyuan know that you are a woman?"

Du Jinning shook his head: "I don't know."

Zhao Mingyue immediately calmed down.It turns out that she is not the only fool in the world.

When she was calm, she sympathized with Qi Muyuan again.

That guy, maybe he thought he had a habit of cutting sleeves.

"Are you planning to never marry?" she asked again.

"Although I got the iron certificate of the Danshu, the family will definitely pursue my crime of deceiving the emperor. The emperor and princess forgive me for the death penalty, but the crime of living is inevitable. I don't know what kind of life I will live in the future. Married I really dare not think about it."

It was only then that Zhao Mingyue remembered that the emperor's brother had given Du Jinning an iron coupon for the book of pills, and that the court was not decided by her emperor's brother alone.

Thinking of the abhorrentness of the family, she clenched her fists: "Don't worry, I will let the emperor protect you well, and I will never let the family punish you for your crimes."

Du Jinning was waiting for her words.

She stood up again, and gave a deep bow: "Thank you Princess for your kindness, Jin Ning will never forget it."

Zhao Mingyue pressed her hand and signaled her to sit down.

When Du Jinning sat down again, Zhao Mingyue asked: "How do you want to solve this matter? Tell me your thoughts so that I can convey them to Brother Huang."

Du Jinning shook his head: "I only ask the emperor to forgive me for deceiving the emperor, I have never thought about anything else." She looked at Zhao Mingyue, "But I hope that only the emperor and the princess know about it. After all, the family knows it and must It’s used to make a fuss. It’s not good to implicate the emperor.”

Zhao Mingyue was very satisfied with Du Jinning's attitude.

At this time, she can still consider her emperor's brother's position, which is really commendable.

As an emperor, Zhao He couldn't even distinguish between men and women, so he would definitely be branded fatuous by the aristocratic family.

She stood up: "Okay, I will go to the palace and tell Brother Huang about this matter. You wait for my news."

She didn't want Du Jinning to lose her life, so it was better not to bring her into the palace.Otherwise, if Zhao Hue killed Du Jinning in a fit of anger, it would be too late to regret.
