837 Climb the bed and tell the Ninth Emperor to go
The Feng Mansion is not as grand as the Ninth Prince's Mansion, so the two of them can only take a bath in their rooms, and then the Ninth Prince will return to Feng Qingchen's room.
Under the candlelight, Feng Qingchen had her long hair loose, waiting for it to dry. When the Ninth Prince came in, he saw this scene. The orange candlelight made Feng Qingchen look softer, and people couldn't help but come forward and hold her in their arms.
The Ninth Prince slowed down his pace and looked at the woman under the candlelight, his heart softening.
Home, he saw the taste of family in Feng Qingchen. His woman was sitting under the candlelight waiting for him to come home. When she saw the Ninth Prince walk in, Feng Qingchen just raised her head and gave him a smile: "You're back."
"I'm back."
A simple greeting made the Ninth Prince feel sad. His home was finally no longer that cold mansion. The Ninth Prince picked up a towel and wiped Feng Qingchen's half-dried hair. When the hair was dry, the Ninth Prince was not polite and hugged him to the bed: "It's getting late, let's go to bed."
He has a wife and a son, but he is still missing a child...
Not long after, sounds of "hmm" and "ah" were heard in the room. The Ninth Prince was not a pushover. How could he stay overnight in the Feng Mansion just to chat under a quilt?
After the lovemaking, the maid boiled some water. This was the only time that night. The secret guards and their two maids were shocked. Was their master dying? Calculating the time, it really was only the first time...
The next day, Feng Qingchen felt refreshed and energetic. After breakfast, he walked towards the Dali Temple. As for the Ninth Prince, he was not so lucky. He had to attend the morning court.
Although the secret guards brought the Ninth Prince's court robes, he still had to get up before dawn and wash up for the morning court. As for breakfast? Sorry, the servants of the Feng Mansion are not used to preparing breakfast at this time, and no one ordered it yesterday, so Ninth Prince, please go to the morning court on an empty stomach.
Thanks to the Ninth Prince's advance arrangements, Feng Qingchen's actions today went exceptionally smoothly. He arrived at the Shunning Marquis' Mansion at the same time. The visitors from the Shunning Marquis' Mansion were still the criminal lawyer and Young Master Chen.
I had already made arrangements with the Dali Temple and the people from Shunning Marquis' Mansion in advance, so today's case was not open to the public. Both parties occupied one side, with a road in the middle, which was like the boundary between Chu and Han. Facing the arrogant eyes of Shunning Marquis' Mansion, Feng Qingchen said nothing, only biting one sentence: "I ask the adults to allow the coffin to be opened for autopsy, and to clear Sun Sixing's name."
"Death is the greatest thing. Feng Qingchen, what do you mean? Sun Sixing killed my sixth sister, and now you want to prevent her from even resting in peace in death. Aren't you two, master and disciple, going too far?" Young Master Chen roared loudly.
I thought Feng Qingchen must be afraid of Shunning Marquis Mansion because she didn't take any action for so many days, but I didn't expect that as soon as she came out of the palace, she pointed her sword at Shunning Marquis Mansion. This made Shunning Marquis very angry. He concluded that Feng Qingchen was favored by the nobles in the palace, so he no longer took Shunning Marquis Mansion seriously.
"Mr. Chen, I think you understand better than me why the Sixth Miss died. The Shunning Marquis' Mansion has really strict rules for hastily burying people within three days of their death." It is imperative to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy, not only for Sun Sixing, but also for the Sixth Miss who risked her life.
Chen Shao had a sinister look on his face, staring at Feng Qingchen fiercely: "What do you mean? Feng Qingchen, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. Don't think that just because you climbed onto the bed of the Ninth Prince, I, the Shunning Marquisate, am afraid of you."
boom……
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire courtroom fell into eerie silence. From the Supreme Court Minister to the police officers, everyone looked at Chen Shao from Shunning Marquis's Mansion and secretly gave him a thumbs up.
Talented, daring to gossip about the Ninth Prince in public, I admire you, I admire you. Fortunately, there was no public trial today, otherwise they would be in trouble.
Young Master Chen was frightened by these people's gazes, his pupils were a little dilated, but he said more arrogantly: "What are you looking at? Did I say anything wrong? She originally climbed into the bed of the Ninth Prince, otherwise she, an orphan, could not live so well and support a group of servants. Don't forget, she used to live like a dog, her clothes were torn and old, and she couldn't even support herself. In the blink of an eye, she became rich. If not because of the Ninth Prince, then who did she rely on?"
The more Young Master Chen spoke, the more he felt that he was right. The more he spoke, the more confident he became, without any worry or guilt.
Uh, this... The Dali Temple Minister and the left and right Shaoqing looked at each other, their eyes at their noses and their noses at their hearts, indicating that they heard nothing.
What Young Master Chen said was indeed reasonable, but what did it have to do with them? Being able to climb into the bed of the Ninth Prince was a skill. How many people wanted to be the second Feng Qingchen? Even if a little bit of money slipped through the Ninth Prince's fingers, it would be enough for them to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.
Seeing that the people from the Dali Temple remained silent and Feng Qingchen only smiled and didn't say anything, Young Master Chen became more and more excited, and his words became more and more unpleasant. Of course, he was also smart. He only said all kinds of bad things about Feng Jingchen and never mentioned how the Ninth Prince was bewitched by women.
"Young Master, Young Master..." The criminal lawyer had a bitter face and pulled Young Master Chen down with force, but Young Master Chen and his gang were talking excitedly and would never retreat.
The Dali Temple Chief Justice saw that Young Master Chen's words were becoming less and less reliable, and wanted to ask the bailiff to stop him. However, before he could open his mouth, the legal advisor stepped forward tremblingly and whispered something in the Dali Temple Chief Justice's ear.
The Dali Temple's chief judge's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes moved slightly. He nodded, sat firmly with full official authority, and looked straight at the people in the court.
Neither the criminal lawyer who helped to arrest the defendant nor Young Master Chen, who was in the mood to scold, noticed this detail, but Feng Qingchen discovered it. Thinking of what the Ninth Prince said last night that he would handle the matter, Feng Qingchen guessed something, so she said nothing today and insisted on opening the coffin for an autopsy.
Young Master Chen saw that everyone in the room was stunned by what he said, and he was very satisfied. He raised his chin slightly, and looked at Feng Qingchen with disdain, as if he was looking at something dirty. He said contemptuously: "Feng Qingchen, who do you think you are? To put it nicely, you are having an affair with the Ninth Prince, but in fact, what is the difference between you and those prostitutes in brothels? You are just worth a little more than them, and your patron is more powerful. Without the support of the Ninth Prince, you still think you are a big shot. People like you dare to sue my Shunning Marquis Mansion and even dare to open the coffin for an autopsy. You are dreaming. My Shunning Marquis Mansion is not so easy to bully."
Young Master Chen felt that what he said was so beautiful. Look, he had rendered the eloquent Feng Qingchen speechless.
As Young Master Chen finished his summary, the courtroom fell into silence. The atmosphere was a little weird. The Dali Temple Chief Justice was sweating in the cold weather. Seeing that Young Master Chen had finally finished speaking, the Dali Temple Chief Justice wiped his sweat and said, "Miss Feng, what do you want to say?"
He must be fair and just, otherwise he won't be able to wear this official uniform...
"To reply to your Excellency, Qingchen has nothing good to say. Today's trial is about the case of Sun Sixing and the Sixth Miss. Qingchen does not want to talk about anything unrelated to the case. As for what Young Master Chen said in court today, Qingchen has already written it down. After returning home, I will definitely tell Uncle Nine without missing a word. As for what Uncle Nine will do, that is not something Qingchen can know." Feng Qingchen was neither humble nor arrogant, and was not affected by Young Master Chen's words at all...
After hearing this kind of words many times, she got used to it. She had heard worse things before...
