Shen Ruoxi thought about how she had been crazy all these years, and it was her daughter who took care of and protected her. She couldn't help but shed tears, "Xingnong, my Xingnong, mother is sorry for you! I..."
I was choked with sobs and couldn't speak.
Her daughter was bullied so badly because she had a mother who had lost her virginity and amnesia!
I have suffered so much contempt and humiliation from the world, but even so
The King of Jin hurriedly said, "It has nothing to do with you. It's all my fault! It's none of your business. Don't cry! If you are sad, just hit me! If you lose your temper with me, don't cry..."
The King of Jin, who had never comforted anyone before, panicked when he saw the woman crying, making a fuss, and then threatening to hang herself and then turning around and leaving. He looked to Xing Nong for help.
Xing Nong doesn’t know how to coax people!
I could only say: "Mom, everything is over, everything will be fine in the future. Don't cry, it makes me sad when you cry..."
When Shen Ruoxi heard this, she quickly wiped her tears: “Don’t cry, mother!”
In the future, she must compensate her daughter and protect her daughter well!

After Xingnong comforted Shen Ruoxi, she saw that she seemed to have something to say to the King of Jin. Xingnong tactfully suggested going to the workshop to take a look, leaving the space for the two of them.
When Xing Nong appeared in the workshop, the old village chief who was guarding the door while weaving straw ropes stopped her immediately: "Who are you? Who are you looking for! This is a restricted area of the workshop, no outsiders are allowed in."
These straw ropes are woven with rice stalks and are mainly used to make a cover for a soy sauce jar for easy transportation.
Xing Nong squatted down and looked at the old village chief with a smile: "Village chief, don't you recognize me?"
The old village chief: “… ”
Who else has such a beautiful voice except Xingnong
He couldn't help but open his old eyes wide, "Are you Xingnong girl?"
Xing Nong smiled and said, "It's me!"
The old village chief was surprised and asked, "Xingnong girl, did you run into the flour jar? Why are you so white?"
Xing Nong laughed: "Yes, I ran into the flour vat and rolled around. Was it pretty?"
"Beautiful! She was already very beautiful, and now she is even more beautiful!" The old village chief thought to himself that unless his son Zesen passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar, he would not be worthy of Xingnong!
"Village chief, let me go in and take a look." After saying something to the village chief, Xingnong happily went into the workshop to inspect it, letting everyone get to know a brand new self, and then successfully amazed everyone in the workshop!

Beijing, the court
Chu Tiankuo began to settle accounts and deal with certain people.
In his hands he held a thick stack of secret letters and memorials.
"Father, during the battle between the two armies, a batch of grain and grass was delayed in delivery. The army almost failed to successfully retake Hanyang City because of lack of food. I have found out that the reason was that the grain transport team happened to encounter an enemy army halfway. The grain was first seized by the enemy. Later, Deputy General Fang, who was transporting the grain, was worried that the army would not be able to win the battle without food. He made plans and made judgments with extraordinary wit. He guessed the whereabouts of the enemy team that robbed the grain and successfully took back the grain, saved the grain and grass, and repelled the enemy. Therefore, the time was delayed and it arrived three days late. Fortunately, I have met a local landlord, and he donated all the grain in his home, so that the army did not starve to death."
"I originally thought that although Deputy General Fang's transport of grain and grass was unsuccessful, it was not a big deal, after all, the grain and grass had been recaptured! But I found out that the reason why the grain and grass arrived three days late was because Prime Minister Liang colluded with the State of Zhao and deliberately leaked the route of grain and grass transportation, so the grain arrived three days late!"
Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Liang was shocked: "What does your Highness mean by this? When did this humble official collude with the enemy?"
Then he knelt down in front of the emperor again, "Your Majesty, I am innocent! Heaven and earth can bear witness to my loyalty to Your Majesty and the State of Chu. If I betray the State of Chu in any way, I will die a miserable death!"
The entire court was shocked and looked at Prime Minister Liang in shock. Only some people looked as if they had known about it a long time ago.
Of course, there were also people who were secretly delighted. After all, Prime Minister Liang had been an official for many years, second only to the emperor, and he had offended many officials.
Now that I see he is about to get into big trouble, how can I not be happy
Chu Tiankuo looked down at him and sneered, "Then you, Prime Minister, will have a miserable death ahead of you!"
Prime Minister Liang: “… ”
After Chu Tiankuo finished speaking, he said to the emperor: "Father, I have evidence of Prime Minister Liang's treason! Prime Minister Liang passed on the grain transportation route to Chu through the oil-saving lamps sold to Zhao by the Song porcelain kiln. Not only the grain transportation route, but also collusion with the enemy army, luring our army into the snow-capped mountains, trying to destroy me and my 50,000-strong army in one fell swoop!"
Prime Minister Liang was shocked, but he had been through so many ups and downs in the court for so many years that he could remain calm even when faced with a mountain collapse. He immediately said, "Your Majesty, I am innocent! I absolutely did not do what the Crown Prince said! I have nothing to do with the Song porcelain kiln! I have never done anything to collude with the enemy or commit treason!"
There was never any written receipt for his transaction with the Song's Porcelain Kiln. Everything was communicated verbally. The people at the Song's Porcelain Kiln would not tell anyone about it. After all, this was a serious crime punishable by the death of nine generations of the clan, and they would never betray him.
Chu Tiankuo must not have any evidence in his hands.
Chu Tiankuo said calmly: "The head mistress of the Song porcelain kiln is Lord Liang's biological daughter. This can't be wrong! Is this what you call no relationship?"
Prime Minister Liang: “… ”
The Emperor then spoke: "Prince, Lord Liang is the Prime Minister of a country. He has devoted himself to the court for many years and has made great contributions! You must have sufficient evidence to prove what you said. Otherwise, if you slander an official of the court, I will never forgive you even if you are the Crown Prince!"
Chu Tianyu couldn't help but ask, "Brother, what evidence do you have?"
There is no way their people would leave any evidence.
Chu Tiankuo said calmly, "When I was attacking the State of Zhao, my men discovered that the Song Ceramic Kiln's caravan was secretly contacting a deputy general of the State of Zhao. Then my men secretly followed them and found that the Song Ceramic Kiln's caravan had sent a box of oil-saving lamps to a deputy general of the State of Zhao."
"My men thought something was strange, so they waited in secret for a while. After the people from the Song porcelain kiln caravan left, the deputy general of Zhao ordered his men to break all the oil-saving lamps, and then found words engraved inside each lamp! The deputy general pieced together the words on the fragments of the oil-saving lamps, and after reading them, he asked his subordinates to take them down and destroy them. The soldiers took the fragments to a mass grave and buried them. It was my people who pretended to be ghosts to scare away the soldiers of Zhao and brought the fragments back! Father, the fragments of the oil-saving lamps are outside! Father, you can see it with your own eyes! I have also captured the deputy general of Zhao, and you can interrogate him! He has explained everything clearly! And the incident with the Changping Army that year!"
Prime Minister Liang's face turned pale.
