Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 322
After Ma Zhou left, Fang Yiai was restless. Ever since she found out Xie Zhongju's true identity, the shadowy feeling of guilt suddenly increased, and Fang Yiai once again fell into an overwhelming self-blame.

It was not the first time that Fang Yi felt guilty about her love. It happened before when she lied to Gao Yang, and when Li Lizhi found out her identity. It was even worse when she tricked Xiangcheng into drinking medicinal wine, and it was the same when Qin Jingniang was treated lightly. This time it was the turn of the "face paralyzed little eunuch". Fang Yi'ai was more out of self-blame among friends, and rarely involved in love. After all, Xie Zhongju had never revealed what was in his heart to Fang Jun. How can I know?
"Hey, I didn't expect Brother Xie to be a daughter. Wasn't my joking words before that too frivolous!"

Sitting in front of the tea table, Fang Yiai tapped her fingers on the table, her brows almost wrinkled into the word "Chuan".

Seeing her husband feeling so guilty, Gao Yang felt pity in his heart, walked slowly behind Fang Yiai, wrapped his arms around Brother Jun'er's neck, and whispered in his ear: "Brother Jun'er, you don't have to blame yourself too much, The queen mother has already promised to try her best to save brother Xie and sister Xie, and Ma Yushi didn't promise that he would not let uncle elder grandson punish sister Yaohuan?"

Caressing the beautiful woman's hand, Fang Yi's guilt did not subside but increased, "Although I said so, Xie Yaohuan was arrested by the procuratorate because of me. Now that she is severely punished, how can I remain indifferent? She is a weak woman, how can she stand the torture in the procuratorate!"

"Shu'er, you don't know. Xie Yaohuan's intelligence is equal to mine, but her mind is far superior to mine. If she hadn't advised me to study military books and war strategies when I took the exam, I'm afraid my disposition would still be the same as usual. Wu If you want to win the imperial examination, you have to suffer a lot!"

Gao Yang saw that her husband praised Xie Yaohuan again and again, and thought of her appearance that was not inferior to his own, so his heart was full of gratitude and guilt towards Xie Zhongju, but he still offended his daughter's temper.

"Okay, Fang Jun, you have praised Sister Yaohuan again and again, is it interesting to others? And Sister Yu'er, you often say that she is not inferior to Zhuo Wenjun, what do you mean? Could it be that you want to be Sima?" Similar?"

Fang Yiai couldn't help trembling when she heard the jealous tone in her ears, she grinned and turned her head to look, only to see that the beautiful woman was smiling brightly, she didn't look angry at all.

With a half-knowledge, Fang Yiai, who was confused, said awkwardly: "Shu'er, what do you mean?"

"Don't worry anymore?" Gao Yang smiled, with a pair of apricot eyes, Qingshan Yuandai, and a sweet smile, "Sitting here and worrying, can you relieve sister Yaohuan's pain? Let's calm down and prepare for the imperial examination. What do you think, Jun Brother?"

Fang Yiai didn't realize until this time that the reason why his wife pretended to be angry was to coax and comfort herself.

"Shu'er!" Grasping Gao Yang's jade hand, Fang Yiai hugged him in her arms, sniffed the faint orchid fragrance, and her restless mind instantly calmed down.

"Shu'er, you are so kind, I promise you, as long as you get through this difficulty safely, you will definitely take the red pill." After kissing the beauty's icy skin, Fang Yi's eyes were full of hope and said: "Before Ma Yu History has already taught me the method of resolving the crime of deceiving the emperor, I never imagined that my suffering, and the favor of that small country in the Bohai Sea, if I can turn the crisis into safety, I will definitely lead people to visit."

Gao Yang meekly put his head on Fang Yi'ai's chest, circling his fingers and murmured, "What a heartless Fang Jun, if the Bohai Kingdom really saved you, you would instead lead the army to conquer him. What's the point? Repaying kindness with revenge?"

Looking down at the beautiful woman in her arms, Fang Yiai took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "Shu'er, if you provoke me like this again, Brother Jun'er can't guarantee that you will be safe and sound!"

"Dengtuzi, hurry up and study!" Gao Yang stood up shyly, and seeing the red sun outside the window, he couldn't help but think of her very good sister Jingniang, "It's not dark yet, I'm going to the Qin Mansion Let's go and visit Sister Jingniang, does Brother Jun'er have anything to say to her?"

Fang Yiai rubbed her chin and pondered for a moment, then murmured: "Well, Shu'er, go and tell Jingniang, wait until I bring the dowry to marry her!"

After finishing speaking, Fang Yiai laughed loudly, opened her arms as if to rush towards Gao Yang, the little girl dodged again and again in shock, and ran out of the bedroom giggling.

After Gao Yang left, Fang Yi'ai's face became serious, looking at the red sun outside the window, she murmured, "I hope things are really as Ma Yushi said, it's just that Xie Yaohuan is suffering!"

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day, the drums were played at four o'clock and three o'clock, and the civil and military officials who were preparing for the court meeting rushed to His Highness Hanyuan one after another.

Everyone whispered to each other, most of the things discussed were related to Xiao Rui's sudden death in the prison.

"I heard that Xiao Rui died of the plague, not poisoned!"

"Everyone knows about the plague. It takes at least three or four days from the onset of the disease to his death. Xiao Rui was rolled into the prison for less than three days. How can he die?"

"Yeah, I heard that Xiao Rui didn't have any headaches before, and most of the people who got the plague would have a high fever."

"Why don't you wait for He Zudao to come back from visiting relatives and ask him to investigate the cause of Xiao Rui's death? Like he is proficient in the art of Qi Huang."

"Why don't you open which pot and carry which pot! Among the two people who went to visit the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice on the night of Xiao Rui's sudden death, one of them was He Zudao's accompanying student boy, and the other guard didn't see clearly, but you can't guess? "

With the arrival of Xiao Yu, the conversation of the important ministers came to an abrupt end. With the help of the rising sun, Xiao Yu seemed to have aged ten years overnight, and her originally gray hair had turned into a magnificent color. And half a black one? !

Standing in the middle of the Wen Banchen, looking at Fang Xuanling in front of him, Xiao Yu wished to devour the enemy alive. Last night, Changsun Wuji had a secret talk at his house, and the content of the conversation was exactly, "He Zudao" is very likely It was Fang Jun's impersonation.

Fang Yiai was drunk and frivolous to Xiangcheng before, and now Xiao Rui is dead for no apparent reason, two deep hatreds combined, how can Xiao Yu not hate?Not only him, but even the Xiao family in Xiliang behind him were all furious, wishing to scrape off the top of the famous commoner in the capital to get rid of the hatred in their hearts!

At five o'clock, the Jingyang bell rang three times, and the civil and military officials went up the east and west steps to the front of the Hanyuan Hall, and waited for Li Shimin to enter the hall before stepping into the golden hall in an orderly manner.

Because of Xiao Rui's special status, Li Shimin hastily handled a few official affairs after going to court, and then asked Ma Zhou for details about the progress of Xiao Rui's sudden death case.

Ma Zhou stood in the center of the hall holding a wat board, and told the whole story in detail. Even Xie Zhongju's torture was described in detail. It can be seen that although he had the heart to rescue Fang Yiai, his essence But he is loyal to Li Shimin.

After listening to Ma Zhou's narration, Li Shimin couldn't help frowning. Although he knew that Xiao Rui's death was inseparable from "He Zudao", he didn't expect that Changsun Wuji would torture Xie Zhongju to extract a confession. Thinking of the conflict between the two, Li Shimin couldn't help but secretly regretted why he had appointed Changsun Wuji to be the presiding judge of the case at the beginning. If things go on like this, the suffering of "what's the point" may still be behind.

Seeing that Li Shimin was silent, Xiao Yu walked out of the Wen Banchen, counting the strange details of Xiao Rui's sudden death case, and the focus of his words was "He Zudao". Determined to investigate the case thoroughly.

Xiao Yu was originally a veteran minister of the two dynasties. During the reign of Emperor Wude, Li Yuan relied heavily on Tang Gaozu Li Yuan. There was also a group of good ministers in the court, Wei Zheng and Gao Shilian were one of them.

Out of loyalty and integrity, as well as their personal friendship with Xiao Yu, Wei Zheng and Gao Shilian went up one after another, asking Li Shimin to thoroughly investigate the case.

The Xiao family in Xiliang was originally a famous family, and Xiao Rui was even the royal son-in-law. If this matter is not thoroughly investigated, the majesty of the royal family may be damaged in the future, and even the status of married princesses may be damaged. Because of this matter was implicated.

Thinking about the pros and cons, Li Shimin nodded in response to Xiao Yu's performance, but out of selfishness, he still made a small change to the presiding officer.

"Xiao Rui was the imperial son-in-law before he was alive. It is no small matter that he died in prison for unknown reasons. Changsun Wuji and Du Ruhui obeyed the decree and ordered you two to preside over the case of Xiao Rui's sudden death. Ma Zhou will assist you as the deputy judge. The three of you must work together to return justice to Consort Xiao and Duke Song!"

Li Shimin's move is self-evident, Du Ruhui is "He Zudao"'s mentor, Tang Taizong did this only to prevent his eldest grandson Wuji from avenging his personal revenge when he refreshes "He Zudao" in the future, lest he take the opportunity to suppress his enemies.

Seeing that Li Shimin made changes to the presiding judges, although Changsun Wuji was somewhat reluctant, he did not dare to resent Tang Taizong. In desperation, he had to make a plan out of his sleeve and take out the letter written by Chai Shao from his sleeve, The memorial about the ranking in the martial arts examination is going to be handed over to Li Shimin in front of all civil and military officials.

Of course, Fang Yiai carelessly signed the life and death document in thin gold body, and the humble room inscription written by "He Zudao" himself, were also sandwiched in this memorial by the long-prepared eldest Sun Wuji.
