Perhaps the women's crying had too much of an impact, or perhaps it was too sad, so that the servants of Prince Sheng's mansion couldn't help but feel sad after hearing it. Soon, the maids started to wipe their tears, and after a while, the servants started to cry together.
Except for the guards who were skilled in martial arts, everyone else started crying, and the crying became louder and louder. In the end, the servants simply knelt on the ground and shouted loudly under the leadership of the young ladies: "Eighth Prince! You are so pitiful! Eighth Prince! You are so miserable!"
Xuan Tianmo vomited and almost vomited blood. He almost suspected that Feng Yuheng had given these people some medicine to control their tears. Were they here to see a patient or to mourn?
This crying lasted for half an hour. Finally, Xuan Tiange said, "Okay, don't cry anymore. Myna isn't dead yet. It's too early to cry now. Save your tears and cry when it's time to cry!" After that, he looked at Xuan Tianmo and said, "Myna doesn't look very good. I think he's too weak. You should have a good rest! We won't disturb him any more."
Xuan Tianmo didn't want to say anything more. He just nodded and hoped that these plague gods would leave quickly.
Xuan Tiange followed his wishes and quickly led his men out, sighing as he walked, "Alas, Eighth Brother is good in everything except his taste in women. He is simply not comparable to Ninth Brother. My brothers are really a worry to me. I can't save my worries even if I want to. Forget it, let's go see Fifth Brother and warn him about Eighth Brother's fate. Let him get along well with the Fourth Miss of the Feng Family and don't follow in Eighth Brother's footsteps."
Finally, everyone left and the room was quiet, except for the servants of Prince Sheng's Mansion who were still kneeling on the ground. Tears were on their faces, and they suddenly realized why they were crying? Why did they kneel down? How did they start crying without realizing it? What happened just now?
Seeing the servants' confused looks, Xuan Tianmo once again suspected that Feng Yuheng had given them some strange drug, causing them to lose their minds. He yelled at these ignorant servants, venting all the anger he had just suppressed on them, but in the end he was so angry that he vomited blood.
As for Xuan Tiange and the others, they really went to find the Fifth Prince as they said they would. They left the Sheng Palace and headed for the Li Palace in a mighty manner. When they arrived, they caught the Fifth Prince and gave him a lot of warnings. They analyzed the losses suffered by the Eighth Prince and advised him earnestly to be good to the Fourth Miss of the Feng Family and not let the tragedy of the Eighth Prince happen again in the Li Palace.
At the same time, Xuan Tiange also said: "Women! You can't make them suffer, but you can't spoil them either. Take the fourth young lady of the Feng family. If you don't discipline her strictly, I'm afraid she will do something even more outrageous than the young lady of the Zhu family! Tsk tsk, fifth brother, you are prettier than my eighth brother. You must not let a woman ruin your face. Do you understand? I am really doing this for your own good."
Xuan Tiange took the lead, and the young ladies behind him followed suit, interrupting one after another. They stayed in Prince Li's mansion for more than an hour, talking until the Fifth Prince was dizzy and almost collapsed, and then they said goodbye.
Feng Yuheng thought that this was the end, but after discussing it with the other ladies, they felt that the first two were full of negative energy. Facing such negative people all day long was really not good for physical and mental health, so they decided to go to the eldest prince and the second prince to relax in a happy place.
So she sat in Xuan Tiange's palace carriage, ate melon seeds, and followed the convoy to the other two royal palaces.
On this day, we went from Shengwang Mansion to Liwang Mansion, Jingwang Mansion and Yuanwang Mansion. All the itineraries were arranged by someone, and there were people to greet us at the places. After getting off the car at each place, they also arranged for everyone to line up to go to the toilet first. Later, when we arrived at Jingwang Mansion, Jingwang Mansion also provided meals for so many people.
Feng Yuheng thought, traveling with a group is worry-free!
But when someone is relieved, someone else is worried. The main worry is from the Eighth Prince. In order to prevent this matter from getting out of control, he repeatedly tried to order people to break into the Princess's Mansion and snatch Zhu Kongshan away. He even thought of threatening Zhu Kongshan's life to prevent Zhu Kongshan from doing anything else. Unfortunately, the Princess's Mansion was so tightly guarded that not even a fly could get in. He was puzzled. Why was the mansion guarded so strictly when there was no owner? As for the Zhu family, Xuan Tianmo was not stupid. He knew that it would be useless even if he threatened. Zhu Kongshan hated the Zhu family so much that he wished they were all dead, including the Liu family. Therefore, controlling the Zhu family was definitely not a good idea.
He hadn't figured out how to solve this matter yet, and he had no idea where to start with crisis public relations. The whole capital hated him. The poor hated him because someone died in the north of the city. What was even more annoying was that the rich and officials also hated him. The reason was that all the doctors and good medicines in Baicaotang were used in the north of the city, which directly led to a shortage of doctors and a shortage of medicines, leaving them with nowhere to see a doctor and nowhere to buy medicine.
As a result, the gate of Prince Sheng's mansion became a disaster area. Every day, a large number of people came to throw mud, snowballs, and even axes. The guards at the gate were so scared that they dared not stay outside and hid in the yard.
On the third day, Zhu Kongshan was secretly sent to the Ministry of Justice by Feng Yuheng for trial. Under Xu Jingyuan's trial, Zhu Kongshan perfectly pushed all the crimes onto Xuan Tianmo, and she herself became an aggrieved victim. Xu Jingyuan even asked the palace's nanny to examine Zhu Kongshan's body. After getting the answer that she was not a virgin, he added another crime to the Eighth Prince's complaint.
The tailors who made cotton-padded clothes for Yuan Guiren were also in the Ministry of Justice these days. According to the owner of the tailor shop, someone in the palace who claimed to be Yuan Guiren's maid gave them silver and asked them to hurry up and make winter clothes. She also sent a lot of bought materials, but they had to prepare the cotton themselves. They took the silver and prepared to work, but the next day another palace maid came and told them that the cotton they used didn't need to be too good, and they could just use the old stuff stored in the warehouse. They didn't need to put too much in each piece of clothing, and if it wasn't enough, they could fill it with waste materials. In short, they had to reduce the cost. They also said that those winter clothes were just for keeping cattle and sheep warm, so it was enough to just about do it. Not only did she say these words, she also took back half of the silver notes she gave yesterday, so that the remaining half was only enough to make the clothes that were made later. Not only did they use old cotton, but a lot of it was garbage black cotton that was purchased, which was picked out from the tattered clothes that others had worn for several years.
The shopkeeper said confidently: "Since it is for cattle and sheep, then the things we handed in are good enough. They are just animals, not clothes for people!"
Xu Jingyuan felt that what the other person said was right. They made it according to the standard for livestock, but who knew that they gave it to people after taking it away. Of course, he deliberately ignored the fact that it was made according to the proportions of human body, and only recorded the shopkeeper's words in detail, especially emphasizing the key information that it was Yuan Guiren who ordered people to do so.
After three days of trial, the case was finally compiled into a memorial and presented to Emperor Tianwu on the morning of the fourth day.
Everyone was waiting for Emperor Tianwu's decision on the matter, but they saw that Emperor Tianwu had been reading the memorial for a long time, with a tangled look on his face, unable to make up his mind for a long time. Xuan Tianming frowned and gave Xu Jingyuan a look, and Xu Jingyuan immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, there is a witness that Zhu Kongshan has been taken outside the palace. She insists on re-stating the case in front of Your Majesty to accuse His Royal Highness Prince Sheng of his crime!"
Emperor Tianwu's face was even more entangled. He listened to Xu Jingyuan's words without saying a word. The court officials were getting impatient, and then they heard Xuan Tianming suddenly say, "Since everyone is here, bring them up and listen to what they have to say!"
As soon as Xuan Tianming spoke, someone outside immediately brought Zhu Kongshan up. Tianwu glared at Xuan Tianming, but in the end he didn't say anything. He just coldly watched Zhu Kongshan kneel down in the hall and cry loudly: "Your Majesty! I want to sue the Eighth Prince! Please, Your Majesty, make a decision for me and the people of the world!"
With this call for decision, Zhu Kongshan used himself as the starting point and explained the whole thing from another angle. The final truth became "I was born in Pengzhou and have insisted on helping the poor people in Pengzhou since I was a child. As long as you go to Pengzhou, you can easily find out whether this is true. In winter, I came to the capital to visit my two aunts in the palace, but I accidentally saw so many beggars and poor people in the north of the city, and I couldn't help but want to help them. I used the silver I brought to buy winter clothes for the beggars, repair the dilapidated temples, and build porridge sheds. I also persuaded many sisters I met in the capital to do good deeds together, and soon I got the support of many people in the north of the city. At this time, the eighth prince saw the benefits and must help. Let me announce to the public that this is a charity done with money from Prince Sheng's Mansion. I am living under someone else's roof, so I have to obey. I thought that no matter who did it, as long as it was done, it would be good for the people, so I didn't care. But the Eighth Prince didn't spend a penny from beginning to end, but rewarded me with a lot of jewelry, which I pawned for money to maintain the porridge shop in the north of the city. I wanted to hold on until the winter was over, so that the people could have enough food and warm clothes, but I didn't expect that the Eighth Prince's beastly behavior would be exposed day by day. Not only did he take my body in Prince Sheng's Mansion, he even teamed up with Concubine Yuan to make evil winter clothes to freeze the people to death, and put poison in the porridge to poison more people! Your Majesty, everything I said is true!"
This sad story was exactly the same as the one Xu Jingdan had written, but it was completely different from what Xuan Tianmo had done. Zhu Kongshan looked at Emperor Tianwu and felt that the emperor had a look in his eyes that was very similar to that of the Eighth Prince, so deep, so confident, and so unmatched.
But she came here today not just to say these words out loud, and she absolutely did not think that Emperor Tianwu would listen to the testimony of a little girl like her. She even thought that the emperor was wise and powerful, and he would be able to find out the truth as long as he was determined to investigate the matter.
But what does it matter? She came here to force Emperor Tianwu to get angry, to force him to be impulsive, to force him to not have the mind to investigate in detail, and to punish the Eighth Prince.
Zhu Kongshan's face showed a look of resoluteness, and he suddenly stood up and rushed towards the pillar beside the hall. People were shocked, but did not stop him. They only heard Zhu Kongshan shouting as he rushed forward: "The Eighth Prince is a beast, I will sue him for his crime at the cost of my own death!"
Then, with a "bang", Zhu Kongshan successfully crashed into the pillar, blood splattered on the spot, and he died without a sound...
