At this time, Wu Yingqiu, who had just rested all night from the side hall and returned to the square, looked at the people around him, and suddenly frowned.
He found that among the civil and military officials, some had disappeared.
Although there were not too many people, he still found it.
So he asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
Wu Ding lowered his voice and whispered in his ear: "I heard that last night, Jian Ruocheng and the people from the Queen's side met with the Six Departments and some officials from Yushitai."
"..."
"These people later—"
"Hmph, these duplicitous things!"
Wu Ding looked around and said softly, "Father, do we want to continue?"
"of course yes!"
Wu Yingqiu said: "It's already reached this point, naturally we can't give up halfway, we must not allow the emperor to confer the imperial concubine."
"..."
"Moreover-"
Wu Ding approached cautiously, and heard his father whisper: "In a few days, isn't the emperor going to canonize the king of Wei? If you make such a fuss, the canonization of the king of Wei will not be accomplished."
"..."
"Your sister finally entered the palace and became a concubine. Unfortunately, the time is too short to give birth to a son and a half for the emperor."
"..."
"You can't decide the emperor's heir before this."
"..."
"Otherwise, our family will be in vain in the future, and everything will go to the Xu family."
Wu Ding immediately nodded and said, "Yes, why didn't I think of that."
Anyone who has a daughter in the palace hopes that she can give birth to a son and a half for the emperor, and even become a prince, so that the whole family can stand firm in the court.
However, for so many years, Zhu Feng has only one son, which makes many people helpless.
Wu Wan has not been married to Prince Yan's Mansion for a long time. Although she is in the limelight, she is not really favored, so after so long, there is no sign of pregnancy or childbirth.
But this road, don't give up!
At this moment, a figure walked over the hall.
Everyone looked up and saw Si Nanyan wearing the imperial concubine's gown from yesterday's canonization ceremony, appearing in front of Fengtian Hall again.
She walked over slowly.
No matter how many people are in front of the hall, how many people are below, how many pairs of eyes, and how many emotions are watching her.
In her eyes, Zhu Feng was the only one.
He also seemed to have not slept all night.
His eyes were bloodshot, and his stern face was covered with ice that seemed to have lasted for a thousand years.
Seeing her approaching, he turned around slowly, facing the courtiers below who were looking up at them, and at this moment, the officials below the main hall saw Si Nanyan, they all started to shout—
"Your Majesty, Si Nanyan is a spy!"
"She is a spy of the country!"
"Your Majesty, the law of the ancestors cannot be changed, and the Emperor must not appoint a woman from a foreign country as a noble concubine!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
Hearing the voices of these people, Nan Yan frowned, and the hands hidden under the sleeves slightly clenched into fists.
At this time, Jian Ruocheng suddenly took a step forward.
He said to the officials below: "Colleagues, don't be deceived by others. It is absolutely impossible for Si Nanyan to be a spy of the Tan Kingdom."
"..."
"The Ministry of War has detailed records of the Battle of Beiping this time. The female officer used tricks to disturb the morale of the Tan country's army and cause chaos among the enemy troops. The danger in Beiping can only be resolved."
"..."
"If she was a spy, would she do such a thing?"
At this moment, Concubine Kang who was beside her said coldly: "Master Jian, maybe this is her plan?"
"..."
"Bitter tricks, haven't you heard of it?"
"..."
"It's not a loss for the country to suffer a small loss and let her gain the emperor's favor."
Jian Ruocheng said seriously: "This is just your concubine's guess, not trustworthy."
Immediately someone below said: "Guessing is not trustworthy, so isn't that letter not trustworthy?"
"It's just a letter with no beginning and no end, how can it prove that Si Nanyan is a foreign woman?"
"..."
"How many of you have read that letter?"
Some people froze.
But Wu Yingqiu immediately said: "Since Mrs. Jane asked, I might as well tell you that we have seen it all."
"oh?"
Jian Ruocheng raised her eyebrows slightly.
At this moment, Concubine Kang who was standing aside gave Simulan a push. She staggered forward and said, "Master Jian, the lady of the people showed that letter to Concubine Kang, and passed along a few copies."
Zhu Feng turned his head and gave her a cold look.
"You, on the contrary—do your best."
"..."
Hearing these words, Simulan shivered suddenly.
Jian Ruocheng said calmly: "Since that's the case, everyone should understand that the letter just said that Si Nanyan was reported by the former minister of Honglu Temple. She is indeed not Si Zhongwen's daughter, but she didn't directly The evidence proves that she is from the country."
Immediately someone said: "How could the baby girl brought back from Tan Kingdom not be from Tan Kingdom?"
Jian Ruocheng said indifferently: "If you transplant the orange tree from Yan Kingdom to the territory of Tan Kingdom, what will it produce are the oranges from Tan Kingdom?"
Everyone was taken aback for a moment.
At this time, another person stepped forward and said, "That's right, we are indeed not sure that Si Nanyan is from the country of Tan."
"..."
"But Master Jian, you can't be sure, Si Nanyan is from Yan Kingdom, right?"
"..."
"Since nothing is certain, then anything is possible."
"..."
"How can we take such a risk?"
"..."
"The emperor's heirs are related to the future generations of my Yan Dynasty. We cannot allow a woman of unknown origin to enter the harem and become a noble concubine."
"..."
"At that time, I'm afraid our entire Yan Kingdom will become the laughing stock of the world!"
Immediately someone echoed: "That's right."
"Emperor Gao set such ancestral precepts in the first place to prevent the royal family's blood from being tarnished."
"The law of the ancestors cannot be changed!"
Upon hearing their words, Jian Ruocheng frowned.
At this moment, a tall figure slowly stepped forward.
Zhu Feng.
On his face, with the arrogance of looking down on the world, he looked coldly at all the people kneeling at his feet.
When his stern gaze fell, everyone felt a gust of icy wind blowing through their bodies, freezing their blood as if it was about to turn into ice.
For a moment, those clamoring voices stopped.
Then, I heard Zhu Feng speak coldly.
"The ancestors established the law... why can't it be changed?"
Just this sentence is like a thunderbolt.
Everyone was stunned.
Everyone couldn't even believe what they heard. They stared at the aloof Zhu Feng in a daze, and then heard him slowly say the next sentence that was even more heartbreaking——
"I want to say that the changes of the sky are not enough to be feared, the ancestors are not enough to follow the law, and the words of people are not enough to be sympathetic."
