In the next two days, Yan Li should eat and sleep, but he didn't care about the mountains falling apart and the ground cracking, or the color of the court changing.

The princeling officials were worried every day, fearing that the prince would be deposed. Regarding the matter of interceding for the queen, the city government staff asked the prince not to act rashly. The emperor was angry, so even if he begged for mercy, he would wait until the emperor's anger subsided.

The queen's position has been deposed, but the prince has not yet been implicated, which is enough to show that the emperor still cares about the father-son affection for the prince. If the emperor is displeased at this time, the consequences will be even more disastrous.

Jiang Jingyue got through each day, her mental state getting worse day by day, but Yan Li's complexion was getting better and better, and she was not affected by the mess at all.

However, within two days of such a good day, an evil wind suddenly blew up in the streets and alleys of the imperial city, and several memorials to impeach Duke Nanyang appeared in the court hall.

Moreover, there were more and more memorials, and they all said the same thing. Emperor Zhaocheng suppressed it and ignored it at first, but the next morning, the officials took the lead in talking about it.

"I heard that Yan Li, an orphan from the Jiang family, had been weak-tempered and timid since she was a child, but after her engagement was broken off by the prince, she seemed to be a new person. Not only was she much bolder, but she was also capable of three moves and two moves... I thought that Duke Nanyang He must have been possessed by an evil spirit, and the Emperor will notice clearly!"

As soon as Wang Yushi spoke, other officials agreed.

"Your Majesty, I second the proposal!" Song Guang, the Minister of Household Affairs, bowed and said, "As we all know, the girl from the Jiang family has never learned martial arts since she was a child. She can't go out of the door or take a step forward. She has no power to bind a chicken, and she can't learn it at all. Wu, and the Jiang family all know that she has been cowardly since she was a child, but her temperament suddenly changed after the prince broke off the engagement. I think this is something strange, and I hope the emperor will find out!"

"Master Wang is right! It is normal for people's temperaments to change, but Miss Yan has changed too much, as if she has completely changed her person. This is very similar to the rumors that evil spirits have invaded, and must be dealt with as soon as possible! "

"The invasion of evil spirits will definitely bring disaster to the dynasty. It should be burned with fire to drive out the evil spirits."

Prime Minister Gu stood at the head of the hundred officials, listening to the impassioned speeches of several officials in the court, with a cold look in his lowered eyes.

Yan Li, you ruined An Xian's life and you must pay the price for it.

The invasion of evil spirits is related to the stability of the country. Even the emperor will not continue to protect you.

"Prime Minister." Emperor Zhaocheng turned to look at Prime Minister Gu and said quietly, "What do you think?"

Prime Minister Gu bowed and said: "Back to the emperor, I think it is related to the safety of the country, so I have to be more cautious. This cousin of the Jiang family has indeed done many things that are inconsistent with her status recently, and I think we should treat it with caution. , Don’t let evil spirits have the opportunity to bring disaster to the court and disturb the peace of the world!”

"My young fiancée has become evil, but I only found out today." Suddenly a cold and stern voice sounded, like a wisp of cold wind passing by, "I wonder why no one told me?"

Upon hearing this, the ministers of civil and military affairs all turned their heads to look in the direction of the palace. A man in a black royal robe walked in against the light. He was awe-inspiring, and there was a sense of oppression that could not be ignored in his noble eyebrows.

The ministers were stunned and bowed one after another: "Ninth Prince."

Mu Cang walked into the hall and looked around the hall with cold eyes: "Nanyang Gong is only fourteen years old. She was really timid and taciturn before, but that was because she was living under the fence of others and had no one to protect her since she was a child. Now the emperor has granted her the title of "My lord, I am also her patron, so what's wrong with her being a little more domineering? Before you entered the official career, weren't you timid and cautious in your words and deeds?"

After the words fell, the hall fell into a brief silence.

The ministers couldn't help but think that this was the first time that the Ninth Prince had argued with someone so vehemently in the main hall, but they didn't expect that it was because of a little girl's movie.

"What the Ninth Prince said is certainly true, but Nanyang Gong's change is not that simple." Wang Yushi frowned, and his tone was sonorous, "Women are weak and cowardly. Even if they are protected by their status, they cannot suddenly become bold. , This requires a process, but the change of Nanyang Gong seems to be a sudden change. There is no other explanation except evil spirits. "

"Your Majesty, your duty is to impeach officials, not to mislead the public." Mu Cang's eyebrows were stern and his tone was cold, "Cowardice and timidity are just rumors in the face. Why is Mr. Wang so sure that Duke Nanyang must have been cowardly since he was a child?" , instead of being low-key?”

Wang Yushi's expression changed slightly: "Reporting to the Ninth Prince, I have asked people from the Jiang family and she can confirm that Duke Nanyang has indeed been in a bad mood recently."

"She started after the prince broke off the engagement." Mu Cang stood with his head down, his tone as cold as ice, "You think the reason why Duke Nanyang's temperament changed drastically was because of the invasion of evil spirits, I can also think that she was because of the invasion of evil spirits. The prince was stimulated by breaking off the engagement. Who has any evidence to prove that what the king said is false? "

"I think what the Ninth Prince said is reasonable." Shen Yushi nodded slowly, "Compared with the invasion of evil spirits, it is more likely that Nanyang Duke will be stimulated. There have been confirmed facts in the past that can prove that people are stimulated when they are stimulated. Later, it will lead to a big change in temperament, like changing a person. On the contrary, the explanation of evil spirits invasion is always somewhat confusing, so it has to be treated with caution. A little carelessness can ruin the life of an innocent girl. Feel free to talk nonsense.”

"I also think what the Ninth Prince and Lord Shen said makes more sense." A lazy voice sounded, instantly attracting the attention of others, "No one has ever really seen the invasion of evil spirits, most people just follow the crowd. If scholars believe this, they might as well go home and farm. Besides, it's a prosperous era now, and the world is bright and clear. Where can evil spirits invade? Isn't this just misleading people?" ŴŴŴ.

Prime Minister Gu's expression suddenly sank, and a gloomy look flashed across his eyes.

He didn't expect King Jing to join in the fun at this time, and to protect Yan Li so openly.

What does he want to do? Show goodwill to the Ninth Prince?

Minister Song was still struggling: "But I heard that Duke Nanyang was not strong enough to tie a chicken before..."

"Duke Nanyang was indeed not strong enough to tie a chicken." King Jing interrupted him, with a smile on his face and a hint of mockery for no reason, "But when people are bullied, they will burst out with a potential to become stronger, especially when they are besieged and bullied. If you don't believe it, you can go back and try it."

Go back and try it?

How to try it?

"But when you mention a change of temperament, I remember something." King Jing glanced around, and a mocking look fell on Prime Minister Gu's face. "In the past, the major families in the imperial city had rumored that Miss Gu was well-educated and virtuous, but Miss Gu got involved with Mu Wenxuan in broad daylight. Isn't that unexpected? Don't you suspect that Gu Anxian was also invaded by evil spirits and should be burned with fire?"
