Chapter 476 What explanation do you want?
Yu Linlang's position is neither too far forward nor too far behind, so she just needs to follow people forward.

Grand court meetings were usually held in the Wende Hall.

Twelve nine-dragon-shaped pillars support a dome.

Everyone filed in and bowed and knelt as usual.

As for Yu Linlang, she would sit when others kneeled and stand up when others stood up. After going through all the formalities, she only took a cup of tea to get by.

The emperor's voice was heard by everyone through the distant crowd.

To be honest, people with poor hearing, especially the officials of rank 6 or 7 standing in the back row, really couldn't hear what the emperor was saying on the dragon throne...

Usually, they just watch the front row and follow their actions.

Yu Shoudao, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Rites, was standing at the back and he saw at a glance his daughter who looked neither good at standing nor sitting.

She was too conspicuous. Among the unshaven and ugly officials, his daughter had a slender figure and beautiful features. She was beautiful whether she was sitting or standing.

After the emperor finished talking to Prime Minister Pei, he called on Liang Guang, the Minister of the Dali Temple, to come forward and report on his work.

Talking about clearing out the remnants of the Shuiyue Temple in various places, the emperor nodded majestically on the throne.

Yu Linlang was lurking in the crowd with her head lowered and her eyes closed to rest.

Suddenly, someone walked out of the long queue, crying and shouting, "Your Majesty! The Jade Fox of the Demon Suppression Division used his power for personal gain and took revenge on his own. He detained my son in prison and only gave him one meal in two days. This is to ruin my son's future and starve him to death!"

"I second the motion! The Jade Fox of the Demon Suppression Division has gone too far. Your Majesty, please help us."

The officials were suddenly in an uproar, and those standing in the rows in front and behind Yu Linlang all cast their eyes towards her.

Qingniu quickly reached out and shook his sleepy fox and called out in a low voice, "Fox, did someone scold you?"

"Who, who scolded me?" Who? He always caused trouble for her during the last court meeting.

"Has the son of the Marquis of Heqing been arrested as well?"

"Yes, you may not know yet. The Bian, Chang, and Zhang families have all been imprisoned in the Jingzhao government office for more than half a month."

The officials who were watching the show all peeped at Yu Linlang.

The emperor was talking to the Dali Temple official about the Shuiyue Temple. Hearing this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said loudly, "Jade Fox, come forward and talk."

The officials below looked at each other in bewilderment. Some said that Lord Yuhu might be in trouble, while others praised the emperor for his increasingly better spirits and his voice was much louder than before.

Yu Linlang trotted forward, waving to General Zhao, General Sima and others as she passed by them.

When she saw the Minister of Rites, Lord Wen, she asked him, "Have you eaten, sir?"

Seeing the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Ge Tu, she started to chat awkwardly with him, "Sir Ge has gained a lot of weight recently!"

Lord Ge rolled his eyes in response.

When her eyes turned to the Minister of Revenue Liu Deng who was taking small steps back, she shouted again, "You've gained weight! Your face has become rounder. Is there nothing to do in the Ministry of Revenue recently?" Lord Liu twitched his lips and smiled, "It's all thanks to your brother's outstanding talent. Lord Su can handle all the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue with ease. In this way, the rest of us can have some free time..."

"It's good to have nothing to do." Yu Linlang nodded repeatedly, "It's really a waste of my brother's talent to be exiled to your Ministry of Revenue. To be honest, with my brother's extraordinary talent, he is just a lowly position. Sir Liu, you must treat him better and better."

Su Jingyuan could hardly bear to look at his sister who had come all the way here in a nonsensical way.

It seems like she knows everyone among the officials above the fourth rank, and the key is that she can chat with everyone...

When she saw the Minister of Justice Gong Hui, she asked him how his family was doing lately and whether there had been any thefts. The Minister of Justice had a sullen face and didn't want to pay any attention to her, but she was able to continue the conversation.

He said something like, "Don't worry, Lord Gong and Lord Liu. We are still keeping the coal monkey under our watch. He will definitely not steal from your house again." Then he asked Lord Gong if he had paid back the monthly salary he borrowed from Lord Liang, the Minister of the Dali Temple?
At the end, he still looked melancholy, and asked if his family could get together the money to buy groceries. He said there were many people today, and whether he should mobilize all the civil and military officials to donate some money to his family. It doesn't matter if life is difficult, but no matter how hard it is, the children cannot suffer.

The third prince and the sixth prince couldn't hold back and laughed out loud.

Lord Gong was so angry that he seemed to be about to punch her, but his colleagues pulled him back with a twitch in their eyes.

Ximen Bugui was almost laughing like crazy in his heart, but he had to put on a serious face.

This girl always makes people laugh every time she goes to court.

It was right for her not to attend court. Once she did, she was unruly and would always fight with others in court...

The emperor just watched this man running all the way from his position, chatting and laughing with everyone. It seemed that he really had friends all over the court.

Censor Zhang suddenly jumped out and angrily rebuked, "Your Majesty, please punish Yu Hu for making a noise in front of the palace!"

"Master Zhang, are you blind? Which eye of yours saw the commotion in front of my palace? I was greeting all the lords! Is it not okay to even greet them? Is greeting also considered commotion? Then you should live in the deep mountains and forests and don't come out to embarrass yourself."

Yu Linlang bowed in the direction of the throne and said solemnly, "Your Majesty, please punish Censor Zhang for slandering his colleagues."

The emperor ignored the verbal battle with a cold face, looked at her and got to the point, "Yuhu, did you hear what Marquis Heqing and Lord Bian said? Do you have any explanation?"

"I have nothing to explain. I have only been doing things according to the rules and regulations. What explanation do I need?" Yu Linlang looked at the emperor in confusion, then at Marquis Heqing, who was standing next to her with a flushed face.

"My Lord? What do you mean? How did I treat your son? Who is your son? What's his name?"

Heqing Hou was annoyed by her series of questions, "My son Luan Feihao! You have detained him in Jingzhao Prefecture Prison for more than half a month. In front of His Majesty, Lord Yuhu can you be sure that you have done nothing wrong?"

"Why are you being held in jail?"

He Qinghou was so angry at his question that he threw his sleeves and cursed, "You ask questions even though you already know the answer!"

Yu Linlang immediately lost her temper and started to fire back at him, "Marquis Heqing, what you said is totally irrational. Do you think I am you? I sit at home every day listening to songs and eating sunflower seeds, holding the title of Marquis, collecting salary every month without doing anything, just waiting for the money to be paid."

"How many things do I have to do every day? How can you ask me even though you already know the answer? I handle so many cases every day, with a lot of criminals, big and small. How can I know what your son did and why he is in jail? Can't I ask clearly?"

"You, on the other hand, look guilty. Why is your son in jail? Tell me clearly in front of His Majesty and all the gentlemen. What did he do wrong? Tell me, tell me!"

"You!!" Heqing Hou had difficulty opening his mouth because of her retort, and his face turned the color of liver.
