Chapter 129: Become the Minister of Justice (10)
Xu Wanxin was wearing a silk dress and a gold and jade headdress. As the fabric was very light, she looked like a fairy or floating clouds when she walked. With a little cinnabar between her eyebrows, she looked so charming when she turned around and smiled. From a distance, she looked like a fairy concubine who had descended to the mortal world.
This set of gorgeous clothes was exchanged by her in the system space with points. In addition, her appearance was also improved with points. She was truly stunningly beautiful, enough to charm thousands of men.
In her opinion, only the most beautiful woman in the world can be worthy of the most noble man in the world.
After she walked into the teahouse, she heard Lou Song Chengze's angry voice.
So he was about to go up to find out what was going on, but just as he was about to approach the stairs, more than a dozen guards drew their swords and pointed them at Xu Wanxin.
A dozen guards were dazzled by Xu Wanxin's attire. She must be the daughter of a high-ranking official. Although they didn't know why she was here, they spoke in a more tactful tone: "We don't accept guests upstairs. No idle people allowed."
However, Xu Wanxin did not leave. Instead, she shouted upstairs, "Brother Chengze, are you upstairs?"
Half a year ago, when Song Chengze volunteered to solve the flood problem in the south of the Yangtze River, he passed by Linshui County and met Xu Wanxin by chance. He was immediately struck by her beauty.
So he spent the rest of his time with Xu Wanxin, talking about love, being affectionate and sweet, and he even promised to marry her as the Crown Princess.
At this time, the flood in the south of the Yangtze River was solved by the suggestions of a minor official, and the final credit naturally went to the prince.
Song Chengze, who was upstairs, was instantly overjoyed when he heard Xu Wanxin's voice. He had been planning to wait for the right opportunity to bring Xu Wanxin to the capital.
However, the series of events in recent months had left him exhausted and mentally drained, so he forgot about Xu Wanxin.
"Wanxin, is that you?"
Hearing Xu Wanxin's voice, Song Chengze's mood instantly improved. Seeing the surprised expressions of several officials, he immediately ran downstairs.
When he was halfway up the stairs, he saw Xu Wanxin looking at him infatuatedly, tears in her eyes and full of affection, just like a wife waiting for her husband to return.
Coupled with her gorgeous clothes, Song Chengze was stunned on the spot for a moment.
"Brother Chengze, I miss you." Xu Wanxin opened her red lips, then opened her arms and hugged Song Chengze. Song Chengze also opened his arms, and then the two hugged each other tightly.
"Brother Chengze, I thought I would never see you again." Xu Wanxin leaned on Song Chengze's shoulder, tears dripping gently. The beauty with tears in her eyes was very lovable.
Song Chengze patted Xu Wanxin on the back and hugged her for about seven or eight seconds.
After they separated, Song Chengze looked at Xu Wanxin's tears, wiped them away gently, and then said with a smile: "Little fool, how could that be?"
The officials who came down from above lowered their heads slightly when they saw this scene, and then said to Song Chengze: "Your Highness, we will not disturb you any longer, and we will take our leave now."
Song Chengze just waved his hand gently, and then these people left together.
Next, the prince took Xu Wanxin on the carriage. In the carriage, the prince asked in surprise: "Wanxin, why did you come to the capital?"
"Brother Chengze, don't you know? More than half a month ago, the 'Angel' came to read out the decree and brought a transfer document, transferring my father to the Six Ministries. So I came to the capital with my father."
Song Chengze fell into deep thought when he heard Xu Wanxin's words. Half a month ago, the "Angel" came to Linshui County and transferred the local officials to the capital.
According to the time, his father should have issued this order a month ago, and would have discussed it in the court, but he had not heard of it.
Apart from his father, the only person who could directly issue this order was Xu Yingqing.
Why did Xu Yingqing transfer Xu Wanxin's father to the capital?
Wait, Xu Wanxin and Xu Yingqing, both have the surname Xu, is there any connection between them?
Song Chengze suddenly raised his head and looked directly at Xu Wanxin, his eyes pressing: "Who is Xu Yingqing to you?"
Xu Wanxin felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Song Chengze. She was stunned for a moment by Song Chengze's questions, wondering why the prince suddenly mentioned Xu Yingqing.
And it looks like they are more than just familiar to each other. Could it be that Song Chengze has been attracted to her elder sister?
According to the plot in the TV series, this was the time when Song Chengze developed a good impression of Xu Yingqing.
Unexpectedly, even though she had met Song Chengze in advance, Xu Yingqing could still make the prince fall in love with him.
What a scourge.
Just when Xu Wanxin was thinking about how to respond to Song Chengze, Song Chengze thought she was scared by him.
What was he thinking? These two people should have no relationship, they just have the same surname. There are many people with the surname Xu in the world.
So he coughed to cover up his abruptness, and then said to Xu Wanxin gently, "Wanxin, I thought of your last name Xu, and then heard that your father was transferred to the capital, which reminded me of the treacherous minister Xu Yingqing, so I got a little excited."
"Xu Yingqing, the treacherous minister? Isn't she a sixth-rank official?"
Now it was Xu Wanxin's turn to not know how to do it? She had watched Xu Yingqing's TV series, but none of them mentioned her as a traitor. What was going on?
She felt like the plot was escaping her control.
"A sixth-rank official? Haha, that treacherous woman has long been the Minister of Justice. When she was the Minister of Justice, I don't know how many of my people she killed. She also bewitched my father and made him go around in circles. Now the entire court is hers. I wish I could peel off her skin, tear apart her bones, and hang her head at the city gate for seven days and seven nights."
When Song Chengze mentioned the three words "Xu Yingqing", the anger in his eyes could not be stopped. He was the crown prince, the heir to the throne of a country, but now he was being trampled under the feet of a minister.
Now all the officials in the court are either Xu Yingqing's men or people who have been persecuted by her. In addition, if any official gets close to him, he will be thrown into jail for inexplicable crimes in a few days.
Now, as a prince, if he wants to meet his confidants, he has to avoid Xu Yingqing's eyes and ears and come to this restaurant for the gathering.
When has he ever felt so aggrieved?
"Xu Yingqing, Minister of Justice, how is this possible?"
When Xu Wanxin heard the news, she was stunned. It was impossible. This was possible. But for the Minister of Justice, this was absolutely impossible.
So he immediately summoned the system in his mind and asked it, "System, what is going on? Has something unexpected happened to the plot?"
The quick travel and child bearing system was silent for a while, and then replied coldly: "Due to the entry of the quick traveler, the development of the plot may be changed, which is normal. The most important thing now is to win the favor of the male protagonist, redeem the male protagonist, make the male protagonist feel the deep love, and give birth to seven or eight children for the male protagonist as soon as possible. This is the right way."
After the system reminded her, Xu Wanxin put down the stone in her heart.
I thought, so what if he is the Minister of Justice?
No matter what, she is still a subject. How can she be as honorable as the Crown Princess or the Queen?
Besides, she would die soon. Once her identity as a woman was exposed, she would surely die.
Being an official is not something a woman should do. What Xu Yingqing did was a disaster for the government.
She is here to enforce justice.
Her heart moved, and then her eyes turned red and she burst into tears towards Song Chengze.
Then he knelt down and kowtowed, saying to Song Chengze: "Your Highness, please forgive me! Your Highness, please forgive me! Please forgive my sister for the crime of deceiving the emperor."
