Chapter 18 Divorce
Three days later, in the princess's residence, in the study.
Tianyao is looking at the mining plan presented by Lü Qi.
Behind the desk, Lü Qi waited respectfully, awaiting Tian Yao's opinion.
"Bang!"
The study door was suddenly pushed open forcefully, and Yunzhou rushed into the study with a look of anxiety on his face, his eyes red, and said urgently.
"Yao'er, let's go to the palace right now and see His Majesty!"
"The Censorate's review results are in: death penalty!"
!!
Startled, Tianyao quickly stood up, walked around the desk, and headed towards the cloud boat.
The Censorate even sentenced someone to death!
Now only the Court of Judicial Review remains. If the Court of Judicial Review also sentences someone to death, then the Ministry of Justice can carry out the execution directly.
Because the Ministry of Justice had the power to execute officials below the seventh rank and commoners, it did not need to request the emperor's approval.
"Lu Qi, you go back first, come back tomorrow."
As Tianyao walked past Lü Qi, she remembered that Lü Qi was still there. She hurriedly left a sentence and quickly departed with Yunzhou.
Lu Qi stood in the empty study, his mind somewhat dazed.
What exactly happened that made Her Highness the Princess and her husband so hurried and anxious?
death penalty?
Who was sentenced to death?
Did Her Highness the Princess and her husband go to see His Majesty to request that His Majesty pardon that person's death sentence?
Do Your Highness and your consort have so much face in front of His Majesty?
If Your Majesty is spared the death penalty, will Your Majesty be spared the death penalty?
Although he had long heard that the princess was His Majesty's most beloved younger sister, he never expected it to be to this extent.
Thinking of this, Lü Qi suddenly became excited, his face turning red with excitement.
who is he?
He is a subordinate whom Her Highness the Princess greatly values!
Who is Her Highness the Princess?
Her Highness the Princess is His Majesty's most beloved younger sister. He dotes on her so much that he can even spare someone's life just because of a single word from her!
If he clings to the princess's powerful backer, wouldn't that be equivalent to having a get-out-of-jail-free card?
Haha, he's so lucky. He followed the princess, and not only does he make money, he doesn't have to be afraid of dying.
From then on, he dared to do anything that was right and justified, and dared to fight back against bad people. He no longer had to fear being framed or slandered by bad people, or being imprisoned and never being able to get out.
Thinking of this, Lü Qi unconsciously straightened his back and became radiant.
I thought to myself, "He has someone backing him now."
...
The Imperial Palace, the Hall of Tranquility.
Tianyao and Yunzhou requested an audience with Wei Tianheng, but were stopped at the entrance of Jingxin Hall by guards dressed in armor and carrying long spears.
"His Majesty has decreed that no one will be seen today. Your Highness and Minister, please return."
The guards' voices were strong and clear, and their expressions, like the armor they wore, were cold and ruthless.
Tianyao frowned, looking puzzled.
Tianheng, why have you suddenly closed the door and refused to come out?
Others can shut themselves away and refuse to see anyone as they please, but Tianheng, as the ruler of a country, cannot do so at will.
Moreover, in her view, Tianheng was a very responsible and wise emperor, so there must be a reason why he refused to see guests.
What happened?
What could possibly make Tianheng disregard his responsibilities as the ruler of a country, shut himself in for a whole day, and refuse to see anyone?
Suddenly, Tianyao's pupils dilated slightly as she realized a possibility.
Fever period.
Could it be that Tianheng is experiencing a fever?
Since their marriage, she had never paid any attention to anything concerning Tianheng. She didn't even know how many concubines Tianheng had or whether he had any children.
I never even considered how Tianheng, a top-tier A, spent his feverish period.
She regarded Tianheng as someone from the past, and all memories related to Tianheng as memories of the past. On her wedding day, she buried everything from the past.
Therefore, she actually knew nothing about the current Tianheng.
"what to do?"
Tianyao turned to look at Yunzhou and asked.
If Tianheng is really in a feverish state, then she definitely can't go in, and neither can Yunzhou.
As the ruler of a country, Tianheng would not allow anyone to see him in a state of disarray or ugliness.
Yunzhou frowned, extremely anxious. He had never expected to encounter such a situation.
He bit his lower lip, frowning in thought.
A moment later, he turned to look at Tianyao and gave her a very serious and earnest instruction.
"Yao'er, wait here. Once His Majesty comes out, plead with him for mercy."
"I'm going to the Dali Temple now to talk to the Minister of Dali Temple and delay the Dali Temple's review process."
"This is the only way."
Tianyao nodded and returned.
Yunzhou's method is the safest; it's about having two options.
"Then I'll go."
Yunzhou said.
"Go."
Tianyao nodded and watched Yunzhou leave.
After Yunzhou left, Tianyao looked left and right, and finally her gaze fell on the passing maid, and she gave her an order.
"You, go and bring me a chair."
She didn't know how long she'd have to stand there, and she didn't want to suffer.
"Yes, Your Highness."
Upon hearing the sound, the maids stopped in their tracks, recognized Tianyao's identity, bowed respectfully, and returned.
A moment later, the maids brought over a chair covered with soft cushions.
"Put it under the tree."
Tianyao saw the chairs brought by the maids and was very satisfied. She raised her hand, pointed to a large willow tree growing very well next to the Jingxin Hall, and said.
"yes."
The maids responded, placed the chairs under the tree, and respectfully withdrew.
Tianyao sat in a chair, staring at the gate of the Jingxin Palace, feeling quite bored.
I couldn't help but miss my life in my past life. Although I wasn't as rich or powerful as I am now, I wasn't poor either. I was free, and most importantly, I had a mobile phone to play with.
In this life, her greatest entertainment is making money and admiring handsome men.
Thinking about all this, Tianyao found amusement for herself and looked at all the guards at the entrance of Jingxin Hall one by one.
Unfortunately, none of them can compare to Yunzhou.
She sighed, looking worried. How long would it take to get through this?
...
Before an incense stick had burned, just as Tianyao and Yunzhou arrived at the Jingxin Hall, Tianheng's personal eunuch hurriedly walked to the side door of the Jingxin Hall.
The guards at the side gate saw him and let him through immediately.
The personal eunuch entered the Jingxin Hall, walked to the door of the outer room, bowed, and respectfully announced his arrival.
"Your Majesty, Her Highness the Princess and her consort request an audience."
...
The personal eunuch waited for a while, but still received no reply.
Is His Majesty asleep?
Otherwise, His Majesty would certainly react upon hearing that the princess had arrived.
Before His Majesty closed the door to see anyone, he specifically instructed him that he must inform His Highness the Princess whenever she came, no matter when.
He dared not leave, otherwise, if His Majesty woke up and learned that the princess had arrived, and he had not informed His Majesty, he would surely be severely punished by His Majesty.
So the personal eunuch stood at the door of the outer room and announced the news every now and then.
From the scorching midday sun until sunset, the personal eunuch kept reporting the news, except when he went to the outhouse. He didn't even dare to drink water, and his mouth was parched from reporting.
"Your Majesty, Princess Her Highness requests an audience."
The personal eunuch had lost count of how many times he had reported this; he felt he was about to throw up from saying those words.
When did she arrive?
Tianheng's voice suddenly came from the room, sounding extremely tired.
"His Majesty was indeed asleep," the personal eunuch replied respectfully, still thinking to himself.
"Your Majesty, Her Highness the Princess arrived at noon and has been waiting for half a day."
