The words of Qin Chu and the second prince sounded at the same time.

On the crowded Suzaku Street, passers-by stopped and looked at the woman who jumped out of the carriage. She was curled up on the ground with disheveled hair.

Qiu Jinning's body seemed to tremble a bit, facing Qin Chu's direction, with a flash of An Ran in his eyes: "Qin Chu-"

Two words were murmured from the corner of the bleeding mouth, followed by coughing up a mouthful of blood.

Qin Chu didn't know how to stop the carriage, so in a hurry, he turned around and ran towards the shop beside him. The horse's hoof finally stopped in front of the shop.

She jumped directly from the carriage and sprained her inconvenient left foot again. Regardless of the severe pain from her ankle, she staggered and ran towards Qiu Jinning.

Running to the front, Qin Chu knelt down beside Qiu Jinning helplessly, looking at the woman whose face and neck were covered with blood stains, felt that there was no place to rest her hands, and shouted with a hint of crying in her voice: "Qiu Jinning."

Qiu Jinning threw herself into Qin Chu's arms, wrapping her hands tightly around her waist.

It seems that it is going to exert all the strength of the whole body, and it is tight, as if it is going to rub people into the flesh and blood.

Qin Chu hugged her tremblingly, and looked angrily at the man walking towards them.

Seeing that Qiu Jinning was still alive, the second prince was relieved. It's good that Huang Nu is not dead, otherwise he really doesn't know how to explain to the queen mother.

The onlookers didn't know what was going on, but when they saw that the three people were dressed in splendid clothes and their identities were unusual, they immediately gathered closer.

The second prince came over and asked with concern: "Miss Qiu is in good health? Do you want to call the doctor?"

Qin Chu hugged the person in his arms and looked at the second prince, and said in a deep tone: "Second prince is a virtuous king, and everyone said that you love the people and your son, I have learned the lesson today, the world is bright, at the foot of the emperor, His Highness the virtuous king robbed meNot to mention the carriage of the Qin Mansion, but also forcing people here, I must go to the Shuntian Mansion to seek justice."

The second prince revealed the identity of the second prince. When the second prince saw the people whispering, his expression quickly twisted, and he forced a smile and said: "Miss Qin misunderstood, this prince is seeing that Miss Qiu is not feeling well, and wants to take her to find YuDoctor, who knows that Ms. Qiu also misunderstood, it's all a misunderstanding."

He tried to clean himself up in a few words, but Qin Chu was about to say more when the man in his arms pulled his collar.

Qiu Jinning pushed back the messy hair in front of her eyes, revealing her face.

The woman's face was bloodstained, her face was as pale as snow, and she still couldn't hide her alluring posture.

She coughed lightly, and said slowly: "I was originally Jieyuan of Jiuqu County, and I grew a little bit more colored by my father and mother. The second prince took me back to the mansion forcibly, regardless of my status as a courtier's daughter. I am not physically healthy.Uncomfortable, it is really uncomfortable now, thanks to the second prince."

Things have come to this point, and the second prince has already been offended. Since he is destined to go to the opposite side, he can only seize the opportunity and prove his identity as a victim.

Using public opinion, taking advantage of the convenience of scholars, taking advantage of Juren's status, completely put the second prince at a disadvantage, only in their favor can the situation be reversed.

Hearing what Qiu Jinning said, the second prince's eyebrows darkened. He knew that today he would not be able to lose money by stealing chickens. Not only did he not get the Phoenix Girl, but he turned against each other. The current plan is to stop the people's mouths first.

He insisted on claiming: "The two young ladies really misunderstood. This king did something bad because of his good intentions for a while and was in a hurry. I will apologize to you here. If you are still not satisfied, feel free to ask for anything, as long as this king can do it."arrive."

Qiu Jinning coughed coldly, and his tone became weaker, but he spoke clearly: "Why should the second prince be hypocritical, the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people, the minister and daughter have no demands, and I know it is difficult to seek justice, I just want to leave Beijing alive, the minister and daughter wishPlease abolish the fame of juren, and hope that the second prince will raise his hand and let us live."

There were more and more people onlookers, and those who didn't know heard the explanation of the reason first, and looked at the second prince one after another. The people involved have said so, how can His Royal Highness, the dignified and virtuous king, argue.

Seeing that the wind direction was wrong, the second prince was at a loss for a moment.

Suzaku Street is the busiest place, with a large number of people coming and going, and he can't just arrest all of these people and silence them, so he can only grit his teeth and stick to his first statement.

"This king's kindness was just a moment, but I didn't expect to cause such a deep misunderstanding between the two girls..."

"Shut up, don't tell me you weren't the one who robbed the carriage, the one who forcibly took me back to the palace, the one who killed me to keep my innocence, the one who almost saved my life by forcing me to jump off the carriage, it wasn't you, you..."

"Don't talk, don't talk, let's go back to see the doctor." Qin Chu hugged Qiu Jinning distressedly, and carefully supported her back.

At this time, Guan Zi chased after him in the carriage, seeing Qiu Jinning's appearance, he put the rein in Lu Yao's hand: "Hurry up and drive the horse and take the two ladies to the doctor."

After giving the order, Guan Zi rolled up his sleeves and stopped in front of the second prince.

"The second prince is so majestic. Today, Princess Anguo hosted a banquet upstairs for Xie Yuan from various prefectures. We, Miss Qiu, were invited to the banquet as Xie Yuan of Jiuqu County. I didn't expect to be tricked by villains like you and robbed our carriage.Not to mention, she even wanted to rob people. Miss Qiu is a talented person who has dedicated herself to serving the country for decades. I didn't expect that all the princes in your capital are big-tailed wolves. As slaves, we just stoppedAfter a while, I was almost kicked to death by you. Didn't you get excited just now? The servant's life is here, so come kick again.

Seeing Qiu Jinning and Qin Chu leave, the second prince said coldly: "Bold maidservant, I don't care about you, so I won't let you go."

The jar refused to let him go, blocking his footsteps: "Today I am too bold, I want to beat the grievance drum of the Qingtian Master on behalf of the young lady, to see how dark the world is in this capital, and to see how many of our masters and servants are there.Can you live to see the sun tomorrow?"

As soon as the little maid finished speaking, she let her go and ran to Shuntian Mansion while wiping away her tears. She knew where the yamen of Shuntian Mansion was, it was just opposite the winery, and the road was familiar.

He even dared to rob Miss Qiu, and even kicked the skinny maid to see if she made this bitch look good.

The second prince was impatient, so he went to see his guards.

Seeing the signal from the master's eyes, the guards of the palace drew their swords and went to block the pot, but they didn't know that the pot not only didn't retreat, but also went straight up towards the sword.

"Killing, killing, the second prince failed to rob civilian girls in the street, he is going to kill people, is there any law in this capital, all aunts, grandmas, sisters, brothers and uncles, you have all seen it, please helpLet us master and servant die."

At this moment, a group of patrolling soldiers rushed over upon hearing the news. They were soldiers patrolling the streets under the Ministry of Punishment. When they heard what the little girl said, they protected her behind her.

After the leader saw clearly that the assailant in the street was the second prince, he couldn't help but retreat.

Seeing this scene, Guan Zi immediately cried out again: "The officials are all family members, you are working together, this servant is desperate to give up this life, and I want to go to Shuntian Mansion to seek justice for the young lady, get out of the way."

The leader had some contacts with the retainers of the Second Prince's Mansion, so he blocked the jar when he heard the words: "Don't worry, girl, if you have anything to do, come with us to the Ministry of Punishment, and I will definitely make the decision for you."

Of course, the Ministry of Punishment can't go, it's about the second prince, it's not appropriate to make a big fuss, first secure him and take him away.

Seeing their behavior, Guan Zi immediately became anxious: "What are you going to do? The second prince took a fancy to my young lady's beauty and robbed her in the street. Our young lady kept her innocence with her own death. She is about to lose her life right now. If you don't arrest her...Get up, and take me away, I'm not going anywhere today, only going to Shuntian Mansion."

The person in the lead was immediately embarrassed, and looked at the second prince, waiting for him to signal.

The onlookers couldn't understand, these people were clearly the only second prince who followed suit, and immediately moved closer to the jar, intending to interact with each other.

The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, the common people are bullied by the powerful, if you ignore it today, who will help you in the future.

At this moment, an old man in the crowd raised his hand and shouted: "This old man is Yushi, the king of Yushitai. Today, he and all the people escorted this girl to Shuntian Mansion to appeal for grievances. Who dares to stop her?"

Wang Yushi belongs to the eldest prince, and he was worried that he could not find the fault of the second prince, so this is his opportunity.

With his yelling, the common people responded one after another: "Go to Shuntian Mansion to appeal for injustice, who dares to stop? Go to Shuntian Mansion to appeal for injustice, who dare to stop?"

The crowd quickly dispersed the team from the Ministry of Justice, holding the pot and heading towards Shuntian Mansion, leaving only the second prince standing there with ashen faces.

The person at the head of the Criminal Department looked at the second prince with a look of embarrassment: "Your Highness, look at this..."

The second prince's face was dark, looking at what he was looking at, but he didn't expect to be bumped into by the people from Yushitai. Those old Yushi claimed to be clean, and they were like stubborn donkeys all day long.

He had to spend a lot of effort to suppress it. The most urgent thing is to go to the palace, go to the mother emperor to make up for it, and then send someone to manage the Yushitai, otherwise it will be difficult to end.

Shuntian Mansion took over the case but did not dare to act rashly. The governor, Mr. Zhang, pondered for a while, and silently handed over the paperwork.

The next day in the court hall, Wang Yushi took the lead, and half of the censors jumped out one after another, accusing the second prince of misconduct, committing crimes against the law, and even intending to bribe the censors.

Empress Zhou Xie pressed down the booklet and announced her withdrawal from the court with a somber face.

When she returned to the imperial study, she threw a stack of papers impeaching the second prince to the ground: "This is what you said yesterday about doing bad things with good intentions, and this is what you said about being misunderstood? Misunderstood that you robbed a woman from a good family? MisunderstoodAre you persecuting Jie Yuan of my Baiyue?"

"Emperor Mother, calm down, my minister drank too much wine yesterday and made a big mistake in a moment of confusion."

The empress supported the table with one hand, and pointed at the second prince with the other. She closed her eyes heavily: "That female Jie Yuanqiu Jinning who was persecuted by you is Huang Nu, right? How dare you say that you were confused for a while, I don't know that you beat me!"What kind of abacus is it? Get the hell out of here and think about it behind closed doors."

After dismissing the second prince, the empress rubbed her forehead and looked at her chief steward: "How do you think the matter with the second son will end?"

The chief steward knew that the empress valued the second prince the most, so he said in a clever way: "The second prince is young and loyal, and it is understandable for him to be confused for a while. His majesty punished him to shut himself up to think about his mistakes tonight. I think the officials will not say anything."

The queen sighed and shook her head slowly: "You don't understand, what I am worried about is not the mouth of the officials, but the mouth of the people. If the order is passed down, the second prince will not cultivate his virtue, ignore the law, be demoted to the king of Pingjun, and spend a year behind closed doors., You can’t go out of the house without purpose.”

If it was normal, she might still be able to handle it with care. Now that the imperial sister is returning to Beijing, Bai Zhi has no tolerance for sand in her eyes. Not only has she won the hearts of the people, but she also values them the most.

If she didn't make up her mind to punish her right now, she would have no face to face Huang Jie.

In Prince Xian's mansion, the second prince knelt down and listened to the imperial decree, but he couldn't recover for a long time.

The father-in-law who delivered the decree reminded him: "Ping County King, accept the decree."

The second prince snapped back to his senses, took the imperial decree and read it in disbelief, and said like crazy: "Impossible, my mother would not treat me like this, this king wants to see my mother, this king wants to see my mother..."

The father-in-law who delivered the decree shook his head and led the people away. He was demoted from the virtuous king to the king of Pingjun, and it will be difficult after the second prince.

In the Qin residence, Qin Chu guarded Qiu Jinning all night without closing his eyes until Qiu Jinning woke up.

"Qin Chu-"

Qin Chu quickly held her hand, and replied softly: "Hey, I'm here, it's okay, I'm here."

Qiu Jinning glanced at her, seeing that she was the one she cared about, blinked tiredly and fell into a deep sleep.

Qin Chu stood guard for a while, saw Qiu Jinning fast asleep, got up and walked out the door, looked at the doctor who was guarding outside: "Doctor, her leg..."

Halfway through the conversation, Qin Chu couldn't continue asking.

"Miss Qiu's right leg is probably not good, it is best not to go to the ground in the future." The doctor said tactfully, meaning that the leg has been broken and it is difficult to heal, and it will not be able to walk on the ground in the future.

Qin Chu stayed where he was, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Qiu Jinning came to Beijing to rush for the exam, and she was ambitious, aiming to take the exam next year, but now that she has a broken leg, how can she enter the court and become an official.

She stood there in a daze, and suddenly remembered the picture of a phoenix that the Second Prince had shown them when they were in Jiuqu County.
