The scholar held up a booklet: "Your Majesty, everything the villain wants to say is in this booklet!"
Eunuch Lu walked over, took the booklet from the scholar, and showed it to Yan Li. There are a lot of words written in the booklet, and after skimming through it, Yan Li estimates that there are more than ten thousand words, which can be regarded as a "book of ten thousand words".
The wording in the book is fierce and exquisite, and the sentences are gorgeous. If you don't have a high level of literary accomplishment, you can't write such an excerpt. However, the zhezi was good, but there was no strong evidence of Rong Changan's innocence from the beginning to the end. Yan Li was a little happy and a little disappointed after reading it.
"Concubine Xue, why don't you take it and have a look to see if it can help you?"
Eunuch Lu showed the notebook to Rong Changan again, and Rong Changan briefly read it, with surprise and gratitude flashing in his eyes. It turns out that this scholar is not, but the Song scholar whom I met in the capital last year! That day, he brought his two children and his wife to the noodle shop to beg. It was Rong Changan who generously subsidized him and took Lian'er to the palace to raise him. If he hadn't seen Scholar Song today, Rong Chang'an would hardly have remembered Lian'er.
Rong Changan put the notebook on the case and dried his hands on the charcoal stove next to him.
"Scholar Song, I read your notebook, and there is no strong evidence in it to prove that Rong Changan is innocent. She just saved you for a while, and you are grateful to her, so you complained for her, right?"
Song Shusheng felt disappointed that he could not provide strong evidence to help Rong Changan: "Concubine Xue Gui is right, I have no evidence to prove that Empress Rong is innocent, but based on a one-sided relationship, I conclude that Empress Rong will never do it. That kind of thing happened. If she is really that kind of crazy person, how can she help our family? How can she sell jewelry on the streets of the capital to raise funds for the victims?"
When it came to the emotion, Song Shusheng was emotional, tears welled up in his eyes, and his voice was choked up.
"Your majesty, noble concubine, Empress Rong saw that it was difficult for me to support two children, so she brought one of them to the palace. Even if you kill me, I don't believe she would do such a thing. Come!"
Chun Tao finally remembered: "I remember, he is Song Scholar! His daughter is called Lian Er, who was brought into the palace by the empress, and she should still be in the palace now!"
Yan Li thought, I didn't even know that Rong Changan did such a good thing!
Song Shusheng's eyes lit up when he heard Lian'er's name, and he wanted to rush over to hug Chuntao and ask, "Yes, my child's name is Lian'er, where is she now?"
As he spoke, Song Shusheng kept wiping the corners of his eyes. After being separated for about half a year, now that I am in the palace with my own child, my heart is both excited and sad.
Rong Chang'an looked at Yan Li: "Your Majesty, I think Song Scholar is eager for a girl, why don't you ask Lu Gonggong to check the roster and see if there is still Lian Er's name on the roster. If so, bring her with you." Come, let her reunite with Scholar Song, father and daughter."
Rong Changan remembered that after bringing Lian'er into the palace, he arranged for her to go to the Weaving Bureau. She learned knitting and embroidery at the Weaving Bureau, and even if she was driven out of the palace in the future, she could still earn a living with her own two hands, so she would not suffer from cold and starvation.
It's just that in half a year, Rong Chang'an was in a hurry and didn't have time to visit Lian'er, day by day, and later she encountered the incident of the prince drowning at the bottom of the well, so she forgot about Lian'er. Now that she mentions it, she also feels a little sad.
Yan Li glanced coldly, and landed on Eunuch Lu: "Eunuch Lu, did you hear that?"
It is a good thing to reunite the father and daughter who have been separated for half a year. Even if it is very cold, Eunuch Lu is willing to run errands: "Your servant heard it! Let's check the roster."
After half a year of separation, I don't know how much my daughter's appearance has changed? Is it bitter or sweet in the palace? Did she ever remember having such a poor father? Scholar Song was a little apprehensive and flustered, not knowing how to face his child for a while.
Rong Changan saw his complicated and contradictory moods, with a spring breeze on his face, and smiled slightly: "Don't worry, drink two more cups of hot wine to warm up your body. You were kneeling outside the Meridian Gate early this morning. Stiff! If Empress Rong knows, even if you can't vindicate her, she will still be grateful to you and secretly pray for you."
Song Shusheng felt that the "Concubine Xue" in front of him spoke beautifully, was kind, thoughtful and meticulous, looking at her and listening to her words, it was like drinking a cup of hot wine, and his heart was already warm.
"Thank you noble concubine Xue!"
The eyes of "Concubine Xue" are beautiful and full of majesty, Song Shusheng took one look, but dared not look again. I thought to myself, is it true that women with such a pair of eyes on their faces are kind-hearted and sad
Yan Li asked Song Shusheng about his family and knowledge from time to time, and also talked to him about the principles of governing the country.
Later, when it came to the matter of Rong Chang'an, Song Shusheng firmly believed that Rong Chang'an was wronged and must be rehabilitated for her.
Yan Li felt that he was elegant in speech, profound in knowledge, and boundless in the world; his character was cautious and serious, and he was really a prime minister.
Not long after, Eunuch Lu walked into the tower hall with a notebook first, and presented the notebook to Yan Li: "Your Majesty, there is indeed Lian'er's name on the notebook..."
Yan Li read the booklet, Lian'er belongs to the Weaving Bureau: "Where is the person?"
Eunuch Lu laughed and said, "People are waiting outside!"
Yan Li: "Since she's here, why do you let her suffer from the cold outside? Hurry up and call her in!"
Eunuch Lu: "Observe the order!" He waved the whisk, and the eunuch outside brought a girl of half height into the hall.
The girl was dressed in girl's clothes, with a few simple jewels on her head, bound her feet, walked in gracefully, knelt on the cold ground, and kowtowed to Yan Li: "Servant Lian'er kowtows to the emperor!"
This was the first time she had had close contact with Yan Li after she was brought into the palace by Rong Changan. She was scared and flustered, afraid that she would walk too fast or too slow, or make a mistake, and Yan Li would punish her. Therefore, this sentence, with its trembling sound, was caused by her panic.
For a child over nine years old, to be able to achieve this level is already pretty good! Yan Li couldn't help thinking: With such a father, there will be such a daughter, and they are all extremely prudent!
When Lian'er walked in, she didn't know that beside her, there was a person staring at her with piercing eyes. When she came, Eunuch Lu wanted to surprise her, so he didn't tell her about her father.
Song Shusheng saw that his daughter became more and more cute and cute. Because of the good food and good living, her complexion is radiant now, she looks like a rich lady who came from a wealthy family.
Song Shusheng couldn't help being grateful for Rong Chang'an's upbringing, but also very sorry for Rong Chang'an's "death".
