Chapter 24
Wei Yun was stunned by what she said, and after Chu Yu finished saying it in one breath, she finally realized that her mentality at this time was really a bit like when she was fifteen years old
The two of them were silent as Chu Yu adjusted her mood, and after Wei Yun digested her words, he finally said, “I’ll take note of your words sister-in-law. This time it was my fault, next time before I do anything else, I will definitely talk to my sister-in-law first.”
Chu Yu nodded, finally relieved of her anger, her eyes fell on Wei Yun’s foot, she frowned and said, “You are injured……”
“Nothing!” I was beaten by my brothers in the barracks, it’s a minor injury. Don’t worry, sister-in-law!”
Chu Yu sighed, she walked to Wei Yun, half squatted down, and said helplessly, “Lift up your leg and let me see.”
“This ……”
“Sister-in-law is like a mother,” Chu Yu glared at him: “You are just a child in my heart, don’t think too much.”
Wei Yun didn’t speak, he was still a little twisted, and Chu Yu said angrily, “Hurry up, don’t waste my time!”
Seeing that Chu Yu was angry, Wei Yun finally gave up his struggle and lifted up his trouser leg, exposing the wound to Chu Yu.
A large patch of bruised blood plus a hideous wound, when you look at it, the heart can not help but tremble, Chu Yu did not say anything, she looked at the wound, calmly said: “I will have the doctor configure special wound medicine, are there other wounds?”
“There is nothing more ……” Wei Yun whispered: “There are only some traumatic wounds left ……”
Chu Yu nodded and said, “I know.”
With that, Chu Yu stood up and said to him, “Take good care of your injuries, I’ll go back first.”
“Well ……”
Wei Yun nodded, watched Chu Yu’s cold face go out, and called her again, “Sister-in-law ……”
“Hm?”
“You …… did not get angry, okay? You said that if my brother knew that I had made you angry like this, he would have killed me!”
The last sound of “killed”, as if Wei Jun can really crawl out of the grave and kill him.
Chu Yu heard his words, and said helplessly: “I am not angry with you.”
She was angry with those bastards who had beaten him.
After hearing Chu Yu’s words, Wei Yun’s heart relaxed a lot, so he said goodbye to Chu Yu.
After Chu Yu went out, she called Chang Yue over and instructed her, “Tell the jailer to write down all the people who beat up Wei Yun, we will give him as much money as he wants, and we will never give him up.
“Okay.”
Chang Yue answered and went to find the jailer who was guarding Wei Yun. After Chang Yue went out, Evening Moon laughed lightly, “Young lady is really protective as always.”
Chu Yu sneered, “You have to pay for what you do, the Wei family hasn’t collapsed yet.”
After Chang Yue inquired about the news, she handed the list to Chu Yu, and the three of them went back to the house together. Chu Yu ordered someone to keep an eye on County Princess Yun Lan, and as soon as they returned, the person who was keeping an eye on her rushed back and said, “Today the visitor went to County Princess Yun Lan’s residence.”
“Who?”
Chu Yu asked, and the attendant gave a name: “Lu Min Xing .”
Lu Min Xing is the prince’s zhan shi, and has always been very close to Princess Yun Lan so much that the outside world has rumored that he is the guest of Princess Yun Lan.
However, it is not difficult to understand the crown prince, the guest of honor is not Lu Min Xing? It is clear that the crown prince acted under the name of Lu Min Xing!
But no matter what, as long as the prince went, it is good. The Princess has always been a careful person, now the eldest Princess’ House and the Prince are discussing marriage, it is impossible not to see each other for so long.
Chu Yu pondered, and said, “keep a close eye on the Princess’ Mansion and the Prince’s Mansion.”
On the afternoon of the same day when the prince went to the Yun Lan county princess’s residence, he went to the eldest princess’s residence, it was reasonable to say that the eldest princess should have moved, but this matter was delayed.
Chu Yu couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy in her heart, thinking about which link was wrong.
The eldest princess is a domineering person, she has raised more than a dozen faces herself, and absolutely can not tolerate her daughter suffering the aggravation of jealousy.
The more she waited, the more uneasy she felt. She was planning to take a different route when she opened her eyes early in the morning on the third day and heard Chang Yue rush in, saying anxiously, “Young lady, something big has happened!
Chu Yu opened her eyes, rolled up from the bed and said coldly: “What is it?”
“The Crown Prince …… Crown Prince ……” Chang Yue gasped, Chu Yu tensed her nerves, heard Chang Yue say: “The Crown Prince was taken out of Princess Yun Lan’s bed by the eldest princess and dragged to the palace!”
Hearing these words, Chu Yu sucked in a breath of cold air.
She was wrong, she had underestimated the eldest Princess. For these three days the eldest Princess did not move, it seemed like she did not intend to move, but a small fight she did not care, as soon as she made a move, there came a big one.
The prince of the dynasty dragged down from his cousin’s bed and escorted to the palace; the eldest princess was too bold.
Chu Yu froze for a moment, then said: “Quickly, tell me carefully how it happened.”
“Just this morning, Lu Min Xing visited the Yun Lan County’s main mansion in the middle of the night, and when it was almost dawn, the eldest princess suddenly brought two hundred dark guards to directly raid the Yun Lan County’s main mansion with ecstasy, and wasn’t the courtyard of our house next door to the Yun Lan County’s main mansion?
“That’s not the point,” Chu Yu said as she freshened up: “And then?”
“Oh,” Chang Yue back to the subject: “the eldest princess personally led people to Princess Yun Lan’s bedroom, saying that she was going to arrest Lu Min Xing who had ruined the reputation of Princess Yun Lan, so the soldiers went forward and dragged the person directly from the bed, and the eldest princess raised the whip, after two strokes, the eldest princess noticed that something was wrong, she knelt down on one knee, pulled the man’s hair up and said in confusion, ‘Isn’t this my nephew, His Royal Highness? What is His Highness doing here without a neat robe?'”
Chang Yue, holding a long whip in one hand, followed the pattern of the eldest Princess and showed a look of dawning enlightenment: “Oh, it turns out that this Yun Lan county Lord is not Lu Min Xing in the account tonight, but His Highness the Crown Prince? No, this is not possible. His Royal Highness the crown prince is a loyal and benevolent person, last month he knelt in front of the palace and promised that after marrying my daughter, he will not be negative in his life, my daughter will only have his highness, and his highness will also allow my daughter to be favored in this life. Your Highness, do you remember this promise?”
Chu Yu sat cross-legged at the head of the bed, propped her chin with her hand, elbows fell on her knees, smiling and said, “Continue.”
“Then the Crown Prince cried and begged the eldest Princess to put an end to the matter. The eldest Princess refused to give up and said to the Crown Prince “Your Highness, Princess Yun Lan is your cousin, you are from the same family, your affair with her is something chaotic and rebellious . You are the Crown Prince, this is not a trivial matter, we still have to report to His Majesty, to see what His Majesty decides.“
“After saying that, the eldest princess summoned people who carried the crown prince and Yun Lan county princess into the palace. Along the way, everyone heard about this, and came out to watch, that one was a mountain of people ah!”
Chang Yue shook her head: “If I were the Crown Prince, I would have wiped my neck.”
“Be careful what you say.” Evening moon looked at Chang Yue, her eyes were quite dissatisfied.
Chu Yu was listening with great interest, and when she saw that Chang Yue had finished, she said, “Is there any news from the palace now?”
“No,” Changyue said excitedly, “Now all of Huajing is waiting for news from the palace, if there is, we will definitely be the first to know!”
Hearing Chang Yue’s words, Chu Yu nodded her head with satisfaction. She smilingly instructed the housekeeper to prepare another generous gift, and then carefully freshened up, just waiting to see the Eldest Princess.
When the day was completely bright, news finally came from the palace, saying that the Eldest Princess was drunk and misidentified someone, and had been punished with a month of grounding.
Hearing this, everyone sighed, and the prince was indeed still in great favor ah.
However, for this result, Chu Yu as if she had already expected it. She took the prepared gifts and rushed to the Eldest Princess’s residence.
When she arrived at the princess’s residence, the housekeeper of the princess’s residence was guarding the door, and when she saw Chu Yu coming, the housekeeper bowed slightly and said with a smile, “Young lady has come, our princess has been waiting for a long time.”
Chu Yu was a little surprised: “The princess knows I’m coming?”
The housekeeper smiled meaningfully, “The princess knows everything.”
Chu Yu didn’t dare to relax, and was busy praising the wisdom of the eldest princess, the housekeeper responded in a salty manner and led Chu Yu to the backyard.
In the backyard, the Princess was in a golden dress, her hair was casually scattered, and next to her stood two beautiful teenagers, one shaking a fan, and the other squeezing her shoulders, Chu Yu did not dare to look too much, went up to the Princess and bowed, saying respectfully, “Greetings to the Princess.”
The eldest princess played with the gold nails in her hand: “Last time you asked me to think before replying to you, isn’t it today? I will accept your condition,” she sneered, “I will save your Wei family.”
Hearing these words, Chu Yu was certain in her heart that this matter must be inextricably linked to the Crown Prince. However, she did not reveal the slightest emotion on her face, and all with an appearance of gratitude, she knelt down and said, “I thank you for your kindness, Princess!”
The eldest princess laughed out loud: “Chu Yu, I think you’re a strange and interesting person. You obviously designed this thing, let me and the prince jump into your circle, and I am grateful.”
As she spoke, the princess gently flicked her golden nails, raised her hand in the sunlight to admire the flowing brilliance of the nails and slowly said: “Don’t you want to tell me, how you found out this thing about the crown prince and Yun Lan?”
The eldest princess said this, and then continue to pretend, Chu Yu also felt embarrassed. She simply sat down on the ground and said calmly, “There is no impervious wall in the world, the Wei family has the Wei family’s method, and I also have my own method.”
“Princess,” she raised her eyes to the eldest princess and smiled sincerely, “You will not regret choosing the Wei family today.”
The Princess snorted, not caring about Chu Yu’s confidence, she just dropped her gaze to the delicate flowers not far away and sighed: “Such talent as yours, it’s a pity to marry someone else, fortunately you are widowed like me.”
Saying that, she took the wine from the hands of the beautiful man next to her, took a sip and slowly said, “You asked Tai Fu Xie to help you convey your request to His Majesty, do you know why there is still no news?”
“Because,” Chu Yu’s voice was calm: “His Majesty does not dare to see me.”
“You have a big mouth.” The eldest princess had a smile in her eyes, but it was not mockery, and she slowly said, “However, it is true. Now my brother can’t make a decision about the Wei family, if he makes up his mind to give the Wei family a result, then he will see you.”
Chu Yu nodded, the Princess played with the fan in her hand, and leisurely said: “The reason why he hesitated, you probably guessed it. This matter is inextricably linked to the crown prince, although I do not know what is happening, but also understand that his majesty is keeping the..….
He is hesitating between preserving the crown prince and preserving the Wei family. Seventy thousand troops are gone, and if this crime is placed on the crown prince, it is too big. However, if it is placed on Wei Zhong, the deceased is already dead, how much more can be punished? Do you really want the whole family of loyalty to be beheaded?”
Hearing these words, Chu Yu deliberated: “So His Majesty does not want to kill my brother-in-law, he even wants to save him. But,” Chu Yu frowned: “Why didn’t he save him?”
“Do you think that if the 70,000 men were really Wei Zhong’s strategic mistake, as an emperor, what would the dynasty think?”
“The courtiers would be suspicious of the truth of the matter ……”
Chu Yu spoke hesitantly, “So what the eldest princess means is …… I have to give His Majesty a step down?”
“Then of course.” The Eldest Princess looked over with a smile, “If this crime cannot be escaped, your Wei family might as well admit it.”
Chu Yu did not say a word, and the eldest princess’s fan pointed at her forehead: “Or, you admit down.”
Chu Yu confessed, and Wei Yun confessed, that is a completely different concept.
The fact is that the people in Huajing and the emperor are not aware of the battlefield at all, and she admits that it does not mean anything. In future , a light “I do not know anything”, can easily turn over the confession.
But Wei Yun recognized it differently. The only male member of the Wei family today, and also the only surviving Wei family member on the battlefield, his every word, has enough weight.
The emperor could not release Wei Yun directly, because he needed the family to admit the crime, and he could not let the world see that he was weak-minded. However, the emperor did not really want to use the sacrifice of Wei Yun, sacrificing the reputation of the dead is nothing, but really let Wei Yun die, the emperor still can not bear this at heart.
The Wei family was, after all, a loyal and virtuous family, and whether it was for the sake of Wei Yun’s talent or her ancestral loyalty, the emperor could not really watch Wei Yun die.
So Chu Yu had to give the emperor a stepping stone, a reason to cross the legal line and let Wei Yun go.
“I understand.”
Chu Yu nodded her head and said to the eldest princess, “I will go back immediately and bring the tablet of my Wei family to the palace gate and ask His Majesty to summon me.”
Before she was worried that she did this without first approaching the emperor, which was suspected of coercion in the eyes of the emperor, now see, the emperor needs, is such a coercion.
Chu Yu looked up at the eldest princess and said sincerely, “At that time, I hope the eldest princess will circumvent the situation for a while.”
“Don’t worry,” the Princess had a cold intent in her eyes: “I will help you block the Prince’s side. But what the prince has done now, you must remember it in your heart, remember it well!”
“Don’t worry, Princess.”
Chu Yu said busily , “The crown prince acted like this, my Wei House will never forget.”
The Eldest Princess nodded and said no more, she seemed to be tired and narrowed her eyes slightly. Seeing that she was unwilling to say anything more, Chu Yu excused herself and went down.
When she returned to the Wei Mansion, she found Jiang Chun, who was answering a letter to Liu Xueyang, who had now settled down in Lanling, and asked Jiang Chun how things were going. Jiang Chun had just finished writing the letter when she heard that Chu Yu had come looking for her, so Jiang Chun hurried over and saw that Chu Yu was changing her clothes, so she said, “Where are you planning to go?”
“You go down and let the young and old in the house go with me to the ancestral hall to carry the spiritual tablet and kneel at the entrance of the palace.”
Jiang Chun froze, but still reacted quickly and nodded, “I’ll go now.”
With that, she turned around and informed the entire family to change into clean mourning clothes and then gathered in the courtyard.
When Chu Yu arrived in the courtyard, she saw Jiang Chun, Xie Jiu, Yao Jue, Zhang Han, and Wang Lan all present.
Chu Yu did not expect them to come, so she was a bit surprised, but after a moment, she smiled: “I never thought I would be able to have all of you along on this journey.”
“The most difficult road has been walked with you,” Xie Jiu looked calm: “This last journey, what’s the harm in walking with you?”
“Consider us unlucky.” Yao Jue laughed coldly: “What can we do when we have this dead ghost?”
“We’ve already stayed until now,” Zhang Han sighed, “so let’s stay a little longer, and if we can be of any use, young lady, just give us an order.”
“Young lady ……,” Wang Lan timidly said, and just as she was about to say something else, Chu Yu then said: “Xiao Liu do not go, you are still pregnant, for the sake of the baby.”
“I’d better go,” Wang Lan smiled bitterly: “He took me with him to wherever his brothers and sisters-in-law were. And now at this time, if he knew that I was left at home alone, I am afraid that he would be angry. I’ll stand on the sidelines, and I won’t be a problem.”
Chu Yu pursed her lips, Jiang Chun stepped forward and said, “If she doesn’t go, I’m afraid it will even be harder to settle down in her heart.”
Chu Yu thought about it and finally nodded, “Then the housekeeper will take good care of the sixth young lady.”
After saying that, Chu Yu then said to the crowd, “Wait a moment, after burning incense and praying, we will carry the spirit to the palace gate and beg His Majesty to release Wei Yun back. If Wei Yun is still in prison, I am afraid that he will stay there. Since we are his elders, we should protect him.
After saying that, she led the people to the ancestral hall, after the people burned incense and purified their hands, she led them to kneel in the ancestral hall, she was in the first row, the remaining five young ladies in the second row, a line of people raised incense and bowed, Chu Yu went forward and lifted up Wei Zhong’s spiritual tablet, and let the housekeeper hold up Wei Jun’s spiritual tablet to follow her, the people behind them took their husbands one by one, and then further, they took away their status in the corresponding spiritual positions of identities in order.
One hundred and thirty-two people of the Wei family, Chu Yu walked out of the gate of the Wei Mansion with the spirit tablet, and the others lined up in two rows to follow behind, dressed in white like snow, only the spirit tablet in her hand was dazzlingly black.
They walked majestically towards the palace gate, and everywhere they passed, people looked at them.
When they came to the palace gate, seeing the white, the guards guarding the palace gate felt a little weak in their hearts. When Chu Yu came to the gate, the guards suddenly drew their swords and raised their voices: “Who is coming?
“Princess Chu Yu of the Marquis of Zhen Guo, with all the princes of the Wei dynasty, has come to see Your Majesty!”
Hearing this, the guards looked at each other, the governor came forward and respectfully said, “Does the young lady have the holy decree to enter the palace?”
“None.”
“Then,” the officer hesitated, “why doesn’t the young lady come back after she has been summoned by His Majesty?”
“If His Majesty were willing to see me, why would I need to do so?”
Chu Yu raised her eyes to the simple man across the table and smiled slightly: “I know that this is a difficult task for you, I am not trying to make things difficult for you, but I am just asking you to inform His Majesty,” said Chu Yu, holding the spirit tablet and kneeling down on both knees: “The Wei family is full of people who want to see His Majesty, even if they kneel here and turn into stones in the wind, they will not return. I will not return.”
As soon as Chu Yu knelt, the people behind her followed by kneeling down, a large piece of white clothes, black spirit tablets, looked neat and tidy, like a tidal wave when kneeling down, shocked people’s hearts to tremble.
That officer hesitated for a moment, and finally said: “That …… allow the official to report to His Majesty.”
After the officer finished, he turned around and went into the inner palace, the Wei family people just kneeling on the ground, Wang Lan sat in the carriage looking out from the car curtain, and was quite worried.
The sun is shining today, but it is also a good day. The Wei House and more than 100 people kneel here, but they did not make any noise, only to see the autumn sun falling on the people, reflecting the burning light.
The officer said he went to the palace to ask the emperor, but went and never returned. But Chu Yu also did not care, today she put up such a big show, to give the emperor steps to lay some high, if so, it is natural that the more powerful the better.
The news immediately spread throughout Huajing, but everyone had their own calculations and were waiting for the news from the palace, without saying a word.
The next morning, the ministers began to go to court one after another, but Chu Yu still blocked at the palace entrance. The first Prime Minister Shu Lei took a look at the situation, he immediately dropped down the curtain and said to the attendant: “Change the door, do not enter from here.”
The attendant was a bit confused and turned his head to Shu Lei: “Sir, why is this?”
Shu Lei glared at the attendant, “I’ll just take the side door.”
With Shu Lei making this start, everyone who arrived at the palace gate took a detour until Tai Fu Xie arrived, he stopped and then came to Chu Yu.
“Young Lady Wei ……”
Tai Fu Xie sighed out, “Why are you doing this?”
“The Wei family’s only bloodline is still in prison, how can I, as his eldest sister-in-law, sit at home in peace?”
Chu Yu lifted her eyes to look at Tai Fu Xie, she had been kneeling for a day and a night, her face was a bit haggard, Tai Fu Xie opened his mouth, he wanted to say something, but finally just said: “Sincerity is the golden stone.”
With that, he shook his head and entered the palace through the palace gate with his hands folded.
Chu Yu looked up at the back of Taifu Xie and understood what Taifu Xie meant.
The kneeling time is still too short, to be worthy of this phrase sincere to the gold and stone.
She closed her eyes and did not say more.
No one in the courtroom mentioned this matter, until finally, a young minister surnamed Chen of the imperial court finally could not help but speak out: “Your Majesty, the Wei family is now full of children who are kneeling outside, the Wei family is four generations of three loyal families, even if Wei Zhong committed a heinous crime, you can not do this to such a loyal family ah!
Hearing these words, Cao Xiong stood out and said angrily: “Lord Chen’s words are not good enough, 70,000 men and horses is not a child’s play, according to my words, the crime committed by Wei Zhong today, even if they quarrel and exterminate the family, it is enough!
“Lord Cao is too aggressive,” said the imperial historian Chen red-faced: “Even if a citizen commits a crime, there is a law of retention. Now Wei Yun is the only bloodline of the Wei family, not to mention that Wei Yun has not yet confessed to the crime, even if he did, he should take care of his mother until her good death, and then come to receive punishment. This is a matter of human decency, but Lord Cao’s idea is too brutal!”
Cao Xiong was furious at his words and argued with Imperial Secretary Chen in court. However, the two of them were not really powerful people, so after arguing all morning, the matter was settled.
Chu Yu heard about this matter, she knew that the more loud and noisy the matter was in the court, the closer it was to a “satisfaction” of His Majesty.
Chu Yu was not in a hurry, she knelt down peacefully and steadily.
On the first day the sun shone brightly, the second day was cloudy and rainy, and their physical strength was not good, and they began to fall down one after another, they were carried back, leaving only a spiritual tablet to continue to accompany the people.
By the morning of the third day, the sun was hot and poisonous, more and more people fell down, and in the court, more and more people arguing for the Wei family.
By the fourth day, it was raining heavily, and only half of the people kneeling were left. This day, the eldest princess also came, she walked down from the gorgeous phoenix car, gently glanced at Chu Yu, and then patted Chu Yu on the shoulder.
Chu Yu felt the torrential rain fall on her, and her whole body seemed to be whacked by a thousand gold.
She raised her eyes with difficulty to look at the eldest princess, but she smiled and said, “Don’t be worried, Wei Yun will be back soon.”
Saying that, she raised her hand to straighten her clothes, and raised her hand to pull her hair behind her ears.
“The battle that this palace is going to fight has never been lost!”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

“Nothing!” I was beaten by my brothers in the barracks, it’s a minor injury. Don’t worry, sister-in-law!”
Chu Yu sighed, she walked to Wei Yun, half squatted down, and said helplessly, “Lift up your leg and let me see.”
“This ……”
“Sister-in-law is like a mother,” Chu Yu glared at him: “You are just a child in my heart, don’t think too much.”
Wei Yun didn’t speak, he was still a little twisted, and Chu Yu said angrily, “Hurry up, don’t waste my time!”

When she arrived at the princess’s residence, the housekeeper of the princess’s residence was guarding the door, and when she saw Chu Yu coming, the housekeeper bowed slightly and said with a smile, “Young lady has come, our princess has been waiting for a long time.”
Chu Yu was a little surprised: “The princess knows I’m coming?”
The housekeeper smiled meaningfully, “The princess knows everything.”
Chu Yu didn’t dare to relax, and was busy praising the wisdom of the eldest princess, the housekeeper responded in a salty manner and led Chu Yu to the backyard.
In the backyard, the Princess was in a golden dress, her hair was casually scattered, and next to her stood two beautiful teenagers, one shaking a fan, and the other squeezing her shoulders, Chu Yu did not dare to look too much, went up to the Princess and bowed, saying respectfully, “Greetings to the Princess.”
The eldest princess played with the gold nails in her hand: “Last time you asked me to think before replying to you, isn’t it today? I will accept your condition,” she sneered, “I will save your Wei family.”
Hearing these words, Chu Yu was certain in her heart that this matter must be inextricably linked to the Crown Prince. However, she did not reveal the slightest emotion on her face, and all with an appearance of gratitude, she knelt down and said, “I thank you for your kindness, Princess!”
The eldest princess laughed out loud: “Chu Yu, I think you’re a strange and interesting person. You obviously designed this thing, let me and the prince jump into your circle, and I am grateful.”
As she spoke, the princess gently flicked her golden nails, raised her hand in the sunlight to admire the flowing brilliance of the nails and slowly said: “Don’t you want to tell me, how you found out this thing about the crown prince and Yun Lan?”
The eldest princess said this, and then continue to pretend, Chu Yu also felt embarrassed. She simply sat down on the ground and said calmly, “There is no impervious wall in the world, the Wei family has the Wei family’s method, and I also have my own method.”
“Princess,” she raised her eyes to the eldest princess and smiled sincerely, “You will not regret choosing the Wei family today.”
The Princess snorted, not caring about Chu Yu’s confidence, she just dropped her gaze to the delicate flowers not far away and sighed: “Such talent as yours, it’s a pity to marry someone else, fortunately you are widowed like me.”
Saying that, she took the wine from the hands of the beautiful man next to her, took a sip and slowly said, “You asked Tai Fu Xie to help you convey your request to His Majesty, do you know why there is still no news?”
“Because,” Chu Yu’s voice was calm: “His Majesty does not dare to see me.”
“You have a big mouth.” The eldest princess had a smile in her eyes, but it was not mockery, and she slowly said, “However, it is true. Now my brother can’t make a decision about the Wei family, if he makes up his mind to give the Wei family a result, then he will see you.”
Chu Yu nodded, the Princess played with the fan in her hand, and leisurely said: “The reason why he hesitated, you probably guessed it. This matter is inextricably linked to the crown prince, although I do not know what is happening, but also understand that his majesty is keeping the..….
He is hesitating between preserving the crown prince and preserving the Wei family. Seventy thousand troops are gone, and if this crime is placed on the crown prince, it is too big. However, if it is placed on Wei Zhong, the deceased is already dead, how much more can be punished? Do you really want the whole family of loyalty to be beheaded?”
Hearing these words, Chu Yu deliberated: “So His Majesty does not want to kill my brother-in-law, he even wants to save him. But,” Chu Yu frowned: “Why didn’t he save him?”
“Do you think that if the 70,000 men were really Wei Zhong’s strategic mistake, as an emperor, what would the dynasty think?”
“The courtiers would be suspicious of the truth of the matter ……”
Chu Yu spoke hesitantly, “So what the eldest princess means is …… I have to give His Majesty a step down?”
“Then of course.” The Eldest Princess looked over with a smile, “If this crime cannot be escaped, your Wei family might as well admit it.”
Chu Yu did not say a word, and the eldest princess’s fan pointed at her forehead: “Or, you admit down.”
Chu Yu confessed, and Wei Yun confessed, that is a completely different concept.
The fact is that the people in Huajing and the emperor are not aware of the battlefield at all, and she admits that it does not mean anything. In future , a light “I do not know anything”, can easily turn over the confession.
But Wei Yun recognized it differently. The only male member of the Wei family today, and also the only surviving Wei family member on the battlefield, his every word, has enough weight.
The emperor could not release Wei Yun directly, because he needed the family to admit the crime, and he could not let the world see that he was weak-minded. However, the emperor did not really want to use the sacrifice of Wei Yun, sacrificing the reputation of the dead is nothing, but really let Wei Yun die, the emperor still can not bear this at heart.
The Wei family was, after all, a loyal and virtuous family, and whether it was for the sake of Wei Yun’s talent or her ancestral loyalty, the emperor could not really watch Wei Yun die.
So Chu Yu had to give the emperor a stepping stone, a reason to cross the legal line and let Wei Yun go.
“I understand.”
Chu Yu nodded her head and said to the eldest princess, “I will go back immediately and bring the tablet of my Wei family to the palace gate and ask His Majesty to summon me.”
Before she was worried that she did this without first approaching the emperor, which was suspected of coercion in the eyes of the emperor, now see, the emperor needs, is such a coercion.
Chu Yu looked up at the eldest princess and said sincerely, “At that time, I hope the eldest princess will circumvent the situation for a while.”
“Don’t worry,” the Princess had a cold intent in her eyes: “I will help you block the Prince’s side. But what the prince has done now, you must remember it in your heart, remember it well!”
“Don’t worry, Princess.”
Chu Yu said busily , “The crown prince acted like this, my Wei House will never forget.”
The Eldest Princess nodded and said no more, she seemed to be tired and narrowed her eyes slightly. Seeing that she was unwilling to say anything more, Chu Yu excused herself and went down.
When she returned to the Wei Mansion, she found Jiang Chun, who was answering a letter to Liu Xueyang, who had now settled down in Lanling, and asked Jiang Chun how things were going. Jiang Chun had just finished writing the letter when she heard that Chu Yu had come looking for her, so Jiang Chun hurried over and saw that Chu Yu was changing her clothes, so she said, “Where are you planning to go?”
“You go down and let the young and old in the house go with me to the ancestral hall to carry the spiritual tablet and kneel at the entrance of the palace.”
Jiang Chun froze, but still reacted quickly and nodded, “I’ll go now.”
With that, she turned around and informed the entire family to change into clean mourning clothes and then gathered in the courtyard.
When Chu Yu arrived in the courtyard, she saw Jiang Chun, Xie Jiu, Yao Jue, Zhang Han, and Wang Lan all present.
Chu Yu did not expect them to come, so she was a bit surprised, but after a moment, she smiled: “I never thought I would be able to have all of you along on this journey.”
“The most difficult road has been walked with you,” Xie Jiu looked calm: “This last journey, what’s the harm in walking with you?”
“Consider us unlucky.” Yao Jue laughed coldly: “What can we do when we have this dead ghost?”
“We’ve already stayed until now,” Zhang Han sighed, “so let’s stay a little longer, and if we can be of any use, young lady, just give us an order.”
“Young lady ……,” Wang Lan timidly said, and just as she was about to say something else, Chu Yu then said: “Xiao Liu do not go, you are still pregnant, for the sake of the baby.”
“I’d better go,” Wang Lan smiled bitterly: “He took me with him to wherever his brothers and sisters-in-law were. And now at this time, if he knew that I was left at home alone, I am afraid that he would be angry. I’ll stand on the sidelines, and I won’t be a problem.”
Chu Yu pursed her lips, Jiang Chun stepped forward and said, “If she doesn’t go, I’m afraid it will even be harder to settle down in her heart.”
Chu Yu thought about it and finally nodded, “Then the housekeeper will take good care of the sixth young lady.”
After saying that, Chu Yu then said to the crowd, “Wait a moment, after burning incense and praying, we will carry the spirit to the palace gate and beg His Majesty to release Wei Yun back. If Wei Yun is still in prison, I am afraid that he will stay there. Since we are his elders, we should protect him.
After saying that, she led the people to the ancestral hall, after the people burned incense and purified their hands, she led them to kneel in the ancestral hall, she was in the first row, the remaining five young ladies in the second row, a line of people raised incense and bowed, Chu Yu went forward and lifted up Wei Zhong’s spiritual tablet, and let the housekeeper hold up Wei Jun’s spiritual tablet to follow her, the people behind them took their husbands one by one, and then further, they took away their status in the corresponding spiritual positions of identities in order.
One hundred and thirty-two people of the Wei family, Chu Yu walked out of the gate of the Wei Mansion with the spirit tablet, and the others lined up in two rows to follow behind, dressed in white like snow, only the spirit tablet in her hand was dazzlingly black.
They walked majestically towards the palace gate, and everywhere they passed, people looked at them.
When they came to the palace gate, seeing the white, the guards guarding the palace gate felt a little weak in their hearts. When Chu Yu came to the gate, the guards suddenly drew their swords and raised their voices: “Who is coming?
“Princess Chu Yu of the Marquis of Zhen Guo, with all the princes of the Wei dynasty, has come to see Your Majesty!”
Hearing this, the guards looked at each other, the governor came forward and respectfully said, “Does the young lady have the holy decree to enter the palace?”
“None.”
“Then,” the officer hesitated, “why doesn’t the young lady come back after she has been summoned by His Majesty?”
“If His Majesty were willing to see me, why would I need to do so?”
Chu Yu raised her eyes to the simple man across the table and smiled slightly: “I know that this is a difficult task for you, I am not trying to make things difficult for you, but I am just asking you to inform His Majesty,” said Chu Yu, holding the spirit tablet and kneeling down on both knees: “The Wei family is full of people who want to see His Majesty, even if they kneel here and turn into stones in the wind, they will not return. I will not return.”
As soon as Chu Yu knelt, the people behind her followed by kneeling down, a large piece of white clothes, black spirit tablets, looked neat and tidy, like a tidal wave when kneeling down, shocked people’s hearts to tremble.
That officer hesitated for a moment, and finally said: “That …… allow the official to report to His Majesty.”
After the officer finished, he turned around and went into the inner palace, the Wei family people just kneeling on the ground, Wang Lan sat in the carriage looking out from the car curtain, and was quite worried.
The sun is shining today, but it is also a good day. The Wei House and more than 100 people kneel here, but they did not make any noise, only to see the autumn sun falling on the people, reflecting the burning light.
The officer said he went to the palace to ask the emperor, but went and never returned. But Chu Yu also did not care, today she put up such a big show, to give the emperor steps to lay some high, if so, it is natural that the more powerful the better.
The news immediately spread throughout Huajing, but everyone had their own calculations and were waiting for the news from the palace, without saying a word.
The next morning, the ministers began to go to court one after another, but Chu Yu still blocked at the palace entrance. The first Prime Minister Shu Lei took a look at the situation, he immediately dropped down the curtain and said to the attendant: “Change the door, do not enter from here.”
The attendant was a bit confused and turned his head to Shu Lei: “Sir, why is this?”
Shu Lei glared at the attendant, “I’ll just take the side door.”
With Shu Lei making this start, everyone who arrived at the palace gate took a detour until Tai Fu Xie arrived, he stopped and then came to Chu Yu.
“Young Lady Wei ……”
Tai Fu Xie sighed out, “Why are you doing this?”
“The Wei family’s only bloodline is still in prison, how can I, as his eldest sister-in-law, sit at home in peace?”
Chu Yu lifted her eyes to look at Tai Fu Xie, she had been kneeling for a day and a night, her face was a bit haggard, Tai Fu Xie opened his mouth, he wanted to say something, but finally just said: “Sincerity is the golden stone.”
With that, he shook his head and entered the palace through the palace gate with his hands folded.
Chu Yu looked up at the back of Taifu Xie and understood what Taifu Xie meant.
The kneeling time is still too short, to be worthy of this phrase sincere to the gold and stone.
She closed her eyes and did not say more.
No one in the courtroom mentioned this matter, until finally, a young minister surnamed Chen of the imperial court finally could not help but speak out: “Your Majesty, the Wei family is now full of children who are kneeling outside, the Wei family is four generations of three loyal families, even if Wei Zhong committed a heinous crime, you can not do this to such a loyal family ah!
Hearing these words, Cao Xiong stood out and said angrily: “Lord Chen’s words are not good enough, 70,000 men and horses is not a child’s play, according to my words, the crime committed by Wei Zhong today, even if they quarrel and exterminate the family, it is enough!
“Lord Cao is too aggressive,” said the imperial historian Chen red-faced: “Even if a citizen commits a crime, there is a law of retention. Now Wei Yun is the only bloodline of the Wei family, not to mention that Wei Yun has not yet confessed to the crime, even if he did, he should take care of his mother until her good death, and then come to receive punishment. This is a matter of human decency, but Lord Cao’s idea is too brutal!”
Cao Xiong was furious at his words and argued with Imperial Secretary Chen in court. However, the two of them were not really powerful people, so after arguing all morning, the matter was settled.
Chu Yu heard about this matter, she knew that the more loud and noisy the matter was in the court, the closer it was to a “satisfaction” of His Majesty.
Chu Yu was not in a hurry, she knelt down peacefully and steadily.
On the first day the sun shone brightly, the second day was cloudy and rainy, and their physical strength was not good, and they began to fall down one after another, they were carried back, leaving only a spiritual tablet to continue to accompany the people.
By the morning of the third day, the sun was hot and poisonous, more and more people fell down, and in the court, more and more people arguing for the Wei family.
By the fourth day, it was raining heavily, and only half of the people kneeling were left. This day, the eldest princess also came, she walked down from the gorgeous phoenix car, gently glanced at Chu Yu, and then patted Chu Yu on the shoulder.
Chu Yu felt the torrential rain fall on her, and her whole body seemed to be whacked by a thousand gold.
She raised her eyes with difficulty to look at the eldest princess, but she smiled and said, “Don’t be worried, Wei Yun will be back soon.”
Saying that, she raised her hand to straighten her clothes, and raised her hand to pull her hair behind her ears.
“The battle that this palace is going to fight has never been lost!”
Chapter 24Wei Yun was stunned by what she said, and after Chu Yu finished saying it in one breath, she finally realized that her mentality at this time was really a bit like when she was fifteen years oldThe two of them were silent as Chu Yu adjusted her mood, and after Wei Yun digested her words, he finally said, I'll take note of your words sister-in-law. This time it was my fault, next time before I do anything else, I will definitely talk to my sister-in-law first.Chu Yu nodded, finally relieved of her anger, her eyes fell on Wei Yun's foot, she frowned and said, You are injuredNothing! I was beaten by my brothers in the barracks, it's a minor injury. Don't worry, sister-in-law!Chu Yu sighed, she walked to Wei Yun, half squatted down, and said helplessly, Lift up your leg and let me see.This Sister-in-law is like a mother, Chu Yu glared at him: You are just a child in my heart, don't think too much.Wei Yun didn't speak, he was still a little twisted, and Chu Yu said angrily, Hurry up, don't waste my time!Seeing that Chu Yu was angry, Wei Yun finally gave up his struggle and lifted up his trouser leg, exposing the wound to Chu Yu.A large patch of bruised blood plus a hideous wound, when you look at it, the heart can not help but tremble, Chu Yu did not say anything, she looked at the wound, calmly said: I will have the doctor configure special wound medicine, are there other wounds?There is nothing more Wei Yun whispered: There are only some traumatic wounds left Chu Yu nodded and said, I know.With that, Chu Yu stood up and said to him, Take good care of your injuries, I'll go back first.Well Wei Yun nodded, watched Chu Yu's cold face go out, and called her again, Sister-in-law Hm?You did not get angry, okay? You said that if my brother knew that I had made you angry like this, he would have killed me!The last sound of killed, as if Wei Jun can really crawl out of the grave and kill him.Chu Yu heard his words, and said helplessly: I am not angry with you.She was angry with those bastards who had beaten him.After hearing Chu Yu's words, Wei Yun's heart relaxed a lot, so he said goodbye to Chu Yu.After Chu Yu went out, she called Chang Yue over and instructed her, Tell the jailer to write down all the people who beat up Wei Yun, we will give him as much money as he wants, and we will never give him up.Okay.Chang Yue answered and went to find the jailer who was guarding Wei Yun. After Chang Yue went out, Evening Moon laughed lightly, Young lady is really protective as always.Chu Yu sneered, You have to pay for what you do, the Wei family hasn't collapsed yet.After Chang Yue inquired about the news, she handed the list to Chu Yu, and the three of them went back to the house together. Chu Yu ordered someone to keep an eye on County Princess Yun Lan, and as soon as they returned, the person who was keeping an eye on her rushed back and said, Today the visitor went to County Princess Yun Lan's residence.Who?Chu Yu asked, and the attendant gave a name: Lu Min Xing .Lu Min Xing is the prince's zhan shi, and has always been very close to Princess Yun Lan so much that the outside world has rumored that he is the guest of Princess Yun Lan.However, it is not difficult to understand the crown prince, the guest of honor is not Lu Min Xing? It is clear that the crown prince acted under the name of Lu Min Xing!But no matter what, as long as the prince went, it is good. The Princess has always been a careful person, now the eldest Princess' House and the Prince are discussing marriage, it is impossible not to see each other for so long.Chu Yu pondered, and said, keep a close eye on the Princess' Mansion and the Prince's Mansion.On the afternoon of the same day when the prince went to the Yun Lan county princess's residence, he went to the eldest princess's residence, it was reasonable to say that the eldest princess should have moved, but this matter was delayed.Chu Yu couldn't help but feel a little uneasy in her heart, thinking about which link was wrong.The eldest princess is a domineering person, she has raised more than a dozen faces herself, and absolutely can not tolerate her daughter suffering the aggravation of jealousy.The more she waited, the more uneasy she felt. She was planning to take a different route when she opened her eyes early in the morning on the third day and heard Chang Yue rush in, saying anxiously, Young lady, something big has happened!Chu Yu opened her eyes, rolled up from the bed and said coldly: What is it?The Crown Prince Crown Prince Chang Yue gasped, Chu Yu tensed her nerves, heard Chang Yue say: The Crown Prince was taken out of Princess Yun Lan's bed by the eldest princess and dragged to the palace!Hearing these words, Chu Yu sucked in a breath of cold air.She was wrong, she had underestimated the eldest Princess. For these three days the eldest Princess did not move, it seemed like she did not intend to move, but a small fight she did not care, as soon as she made a move, there came a big one.The prince of the dynasty dragged down from his cousin's bed and escorted to the palace; the eldest princess was too bold.Chu Yu froze for a moment, then said: Quickly, tell me carefully how it happened.Just this morning, Lu Min Xing visited the Yun Lan County's main mansion in the middle of the night, and when it was almost dawn, the eldest princess suddenly brought two hundred dark guards to directly raid the Yun Lan County's main mansion with ecstasy, and wasn't the courtyard of our house next door to the Yun Lan County's main mansion?That's not the point, Chu Yu said as she freshened up: And then?Oh, Chang Yue back to the subject: the eldest princess personally led people to Princess Yun Lan's bedroom, saying that she was going to arrest Lu Min Xing who had ruined the reputation of Princess Yun Lan, so the soldiers went forward and dragged the person directly from the bed, and the eldest princess raised the whip, after two strokes, the eldest princess noticed that something was wrong, she knelt down on one knee, pulled the man's hair up and said in confusion, Isn't this my nephew, His Royal Highness? What is His Highness doing here without a neat robe?'Chang Yue, holding a long whip in one hand, followed the pattern of the eldest Princess and showed a look of dawning enlightenment: Oh, it turns out that this Yun Lan county Lord is not Lu Min Xing in the account tonight, but His Highness the Crown Prince? No, this is not possible. His Royal Highness the crown prince is a loyal and benevolent person, last month he knelt in front of the palace and promised that after marrying my daughter, he will not be negative in his life, my daughter will only have his highness, and his highness will also allow my daughter to be favored in this life. Your Highness, do you remember this promise?Chu Yu sat cross-legged at the head of the bed, propped her chin with her hand, elbows fell on her knees, smiling and said, Continue.Then the Crown Prince cried and begged the eldest Princess to put an end to the matter. The eldest Princess refused to give up and said to the Crown Prince Your Highness, Princess Yun Lan is your cousin, you are from the same family, your affair with her is something chaotic and rebellious . You are the Crown Prince, this is not a trivial matter, we still have to report to His Majesty, to see what His Majesty decides.After saying that, the eldest princess summoned people who carried the crown prince and Yun Lan county princess into the palace. Along the way, everyone heard about this, and came out to watch, that one was a mountain of people ah!Chang Yue shook her head: If I were the Crown Prince, I would have wiped my neck.Be careful what you say. Evening moon looked at Chang Yue, her eyes were quite dissatisfied.Chu Yu was listening with great interest, and when she saw that Chang Yue had finished, she said, Is there any news from the palace now?No, Changyue said excitedly, Now all of Huajing is waiting for news from the palace, if there is, we will definitely be the first to know!Hearing Chang Yue's words, Chu Yu nodded her head with satisfaction. She smilingly instructed the housekeeper to prepare another generous gift, and then carefully freshened up, just waiting to see the Eldest Princess.When the day was completely bright, news finally came from the palace, saying that the Eldest Princess was drunk and misidentified someone, and had been punished with a month of grounding.Hearing this, everyone sighed, and the prince was indeed still in great favor ah.However, for this result, Chu Yu as if she had already expected it. She took the prepared gifts and rushed to the Eldest Princess's residence.When she arrived at the princess's residence, the housekeeper of the princess's residence was guarding the door, and when she saw Chu Yu coming, the housekeeper bowed slightly and said with a smile, Young lady has come, our princess has been waiting for a long time.Chu Yu was a little surprised: The princess knows I'm coming?The housekeeper smiled meaningfully, The princess knows everything.Chu Yu didn't dare to relax, and was busy praising the wisdom of the eldest princess, the housekeeper responded in a salty manner and led Chu Yu to the backyard.In the backyard, the Princess was in a golden dress, her hair was casually scattered, and next to her stood two beautiful teenagers, one shaking a fan, and the other squeezing her shoulders, Chu Yu did not dare to look too much, went up to the Princess and bowed, saying respectfully, Greetings to the Princess.The eldest princess played with the gold nails in her hand: Last time you asked me to think before replying to you, isn't it today? I will accept your condition, she sneered, I will save your Wei family.Hearing these words, Chu Yu was certain in her heart that this matter must be inextricably linked to the Crown Prince. However, she did not reveal the slightest emotion on her face, and all with an appearance of gratitude, she knelt down and said, I thank you for your kindness, Princess!The eldest princess laughed out loud: Chu Yu, I think you're a strange and interesting person. You obviously designed this thing, let me and the prince jump into your circle, and I am grateful.As she spoke, the princess gently flicked her golden nails, raised her hand in the sunlight to admire the flowing brilliance of the nails and slowly said: Don't you want to tell me, how you found out this thing about the crown prince and Yun Lan?The eldest princess said this, and then continue to pretend, Chu Yu also felt embarrassed. She simply sat down on the ground and said calmly, There is no impervious wall in the world, the Wei family has the Wei family's method, and I also have my own method.Princess, she raised her eyes to the eldest princess and smiled sincerely, You will not regret choosing the Wei family today.The Princess snorted, not caring about Chu Yu's confidence, she just dropped her gaze to the delicate flowers not far away and sighed: Such talent as yours, it's a pity to marry someone else, fortunately you are widowed like me.Saying that, she took the wine from the hands of the beautiful man next to her, took a sip and slowly said, You asked Tai Fu Xie to help you convey your request to His Majesty, do you know why there is still no news?Because, Chu Yu's voice was calm: His Majesty does not dare to see me.You have a big mouth. The eldest princess had a smile in her eyes, but it was not mockery, and she slowly said, However, it is true.

But, Chu Yu frowned: Why didn't he save him?Do you think that if the 70,000 men were really Wei Zhong's strategic mistake, as an emperor, what would the dynasty think?The courtiers would be suspicious of the truth of the matter Chu Yu spoke hesitantly, So what the eldest princess means is I have to give His Majesty a step down?Then of course.

And now at this time, if he knew that I was left at home alone, I am afraid that he would be angry. I'll stand on the sidelines, and I won't be a problem.Chu Yu pursed her lips, Jiang Chun stepped forward and said, If she doesn't go, I'm afraid it will even be harder to settle down in her heart.Chu Yu thought about it and finally nodded, Then the housekeeper will take good care of the sixth young lady.After saying that, Chu Yu then said to the crowd, Wait a moment, after burning incense and praying, we will carry the spirit to the palace gate and beg His Majesty to release Wei Yun back.

When Chu Yu came to the gate, the guards suddenly drew their swords and raised their voices: Who is coming?Princess Chu Yu of the Marquis of Zhen Guo, with all the princes of the Wei dynasty, has come to see Your Majesty!Hearing this, the guards looked at each other, the governor came forward and respectfully said, Does the young lady have the holy decree to enter the palace?None.Then, the officer hesitated, why doesn't the young lady come back after she has been summoned by His Majesty?If His Majesty were willing to see me, why would I need to do so?Chu Yu raised her eyes to the simple man across the table and smiled slightly: I know that this is a difficult task for you, I am not trying to make things difficult for you, but I am just asking you to inform His Majesty, said Chu Yu, holding the spirit tablet and kneeling down on both knees: The Wei family is full of people who want to see His Majesty, even if they kneel here and turn into stones in the wind, they will not return. I will not return.As soon as Chu Yu knelt, the people behind her followed by kneeling down, a large piece of white clothes, black spirit tablets, looked neat and tidy, like a tidal wave when kneeling down, shocked people's hearts to tremble.That officer hesitated for a moment, and finally said: That allow the official to report to His Majesty.After the officer finished, he turned around and went into the inner palace, the Wei family people just kneeling on the ground, Wang Lan sat in the carriage looking out from the car curtain, and was quite worried.The sun is shining today, but it is also a good day. The Wei House and more than 100 people kneel here, but they did not make any noise, only to see the autumn sun falling on the people, reflecting the burning light.The officer said he went to the palace to ask the emperor, but went and never returned. But Chu Yu also did not care, today she put up such a big show, to give the emperor steps to lay some high, if so, it is natural that the more powerful the better.The news immediately spread throughout Huajing, but everyone had their own calculations and were waiting for the news from the palace, without saying a word.The next morning, the ministers began to go to court one after another, but Chu Yu still blocked at the palace entrance. The first Prime Minister Shu Lei took a look at the situation, he immediately dropped down the curtain and said to the attendant: Change the door, do not enter from here.The attendant was a bit confused and turned his head to Shu Lei: Sir, why is this?Shu Lei glared at the attendant, I'll just take the side door.With Shu Lei making this start, everyone who arrived at the palace gate took a detour until Tai Fu Xie arrived, he stopped and then came to Chu Yu.Young Lady Wei Tai Fu Xie sighed out, Why are you doing this?The Wei family's only bloodline is still in prison, how can I, as his eldest sister-in-law, sit at home in peace?Chu Yu lifted her eyes to look at Tai Fu Xie, she had been kneeling for a day and a night, her face was a bit haggard, Tai Fu Xie opened his mouth, he wanted to say something, but finally just said: Sincerity is the golden stone.With that, he shook his head and entered the palace through the palace gate with his hands folded.Chu Yu looked up at the back of Taifu Xie and understood what Taifu Xie meant.The kneeling time is still too short, to be worthy of this phrase sincere to the gold and stone.She closed her eyes and did not say more.No one in the courtroom mentioned this matter, until finally, a young minister surnamed Chen of the imperial court finally could not help but speak out: Your Majesty, the Wei family is now full of children who are kneeling outside, the Wei family is four generations of three loyal families, even if Wei Zhong committed a heinous crime, you can not do this to such a loyal family ah!Hearing these words, Cao Xiong stood out and said angrily: Lord Chen's words are not good enough, 70,000 men and horses is not a child's play, according to my words, the crime committed by Wei Zhong today, even if they quarrel and exterminate the family, it is enough!Lord Cao is too aggressive, said the imperial historian Chen red-faced: Even if a citizen commits a crime, there is a law of retention. Now Wei Yun is the only bloodline of the Wei family, not to mention that Wei Yun has not yet confessed to the crime, even if he did, he should take care of his mother until her good death, and then come to receive punishment. This is a matter of human decency, but Lord Cao's idea is too brutal!Cao Xiong was furious at his words and argued with Imperial Secretary Chen in court. However, the two of them were not really powerful people, so after arguing all morning, the matter was settled.Chu Yu heard about this matter, she knew that the more loud and noisy the matter was in the court, the closer it was to a satisfaction of His Majesty.Chu Yu was not in a hurry, she knelt down peacefully and steadily.On the first day the sun shone brightly, the second day was cloudy and rainy, and their physical strength was not good, and they began to fall down one after another, they were carried back, leaving only a spiritual tablet to continue to accompany the people.By the morning of the third day, the sun was hot and poisonous, more and more people fell down, and in the court, more and more people arguing for the Wei family.By the fourth day, it was raining heavily, and only half of the people kneeling were left. This day, the eldest princess also came, she walked down from the gorgeous phoenix car, gently glanced at Chu Yu, and then patted Chu Yu on the shoulder.Chu Yu felt the torrential rain fall on her, and her whole body seemed to be whacked by a thousand gold.She raised her eyes with difficulty to look at the eldest princess, but she smiled and said, Don't be worried, Wei Yun will be back soon.Saying that, she raised her hand to straighten her clothes, and raised her hand to pull her hair behind her ears.The battle that this palace is going to fight has never been lost!
