Daughter Of Rebellious Minister

Winter was approaching, and the weather had gradually turned cold. The trees were withered and withered, and leaves were flying everywhere. They were like butterflies that were circling in the air.

Meng Zixian was drifting in her dreams, like a small boat drifting on the sea. Her body was heavy and heavy, and from time to time, she felt a cold sensation on her forehead.

One night passed. Meng Zixian opened her eyes, and she felt completely exhausted.

It had been a long time since she had been this tired. It was like a dream, a fantasy.

"Little Lord." Ling'er brought the medicine in and helped her drink it.

Meng Zixian was so bitter that she frowned, "It's so hard to drink. Can't there be candied fruits?"

"Little Lord, where are we going to look?" Ling'er gently smiled and helped her lie down.

Meng Zi laid on the bed and sighed. "It's been a long time since I've been like this. I'm so weak now."

"Young master, you'll be fine soon."

"Did someone come last night?"

"Yes, Lord Song came by."

"Mm …"

As Meng Zixian spoke, she woke up and was about to fall asleep again.

Song Qiming had sent the medicine to Meng Zixian's room last night.

When Jingfei saw Song Qi River, she hugged it tightly and said, "Qi He, I dreamt that you left me."

She was tearful like she was in tears, and her tears were tinged with rain, causing others to feel tender affection towards her.

Song Qi gently caressed her hair and comforted her, "These few days I have been busy with matters of the court, so I can't enter the palace. I've made you worry."

"Qi He, can you really focus on helping the Emperor? Don't rely on others. "It's not safe." There were some hidden meanings behind Jing Fei's words, but none of them could be heard. Jing Fei's face was filled with worry.

Song Que frowned. He felt uneasy as if he guessed right, but the truth quickly disappeared.

"Huai, I understand what I'm doing."

Jingfei saw that he wasn't listening to her, so she paced back and forth anxiously, annoyed. "Why, why? Why can't you listen to me, Qi He!"

"Huai, what are you afraid of?"

"I …"

Jingfei's lips quivered as she tried to speak, but there were tears in her eyes as she choked with sobs, "I almost lost you."

Song Que comforted him: "I won't."

The two of them talked about different things, but Song Qi and Jing Fei were helpless. Jing Fei was sweating from anxiousness, and in the end, they ended up separated with an unhappy ending.

Song Que was exhausted from head to toe on the way to the Li Palace. He was initially worried about Quiet And Steadfast, and also wanted to fight for the position of power, because they were once bosom friends. With just a glance, he could tell what the other person was thinking.

Gu Jing Cheng had secretly given all the evidence to the Rong family, as well as to Fugui. Fugui never knew that Song Que was the one that interrogated him, and when he was being interrogated by the Rong family, his heart was like dying embers.

The Rong family had lost two highly ranked chess pieces, so they naturally wouldn't give up. They wanted to skin Zheng Ning alive because of the death of a witness and the lack of proof.

Meng Zi's illness slowly recovered, but she was still forced by Ling'er to drink some very bitter medicine. She said it was to take care of her body, but because it was good for her, she endured it.

The harem was serene, but far too serene.

As expected, half a month later, the Rong family impeached Zheng Ning, embezzled and accepted bribes, and forged weapons.

As this family fell, so did everyone else.

Zheng Ning was also a small official and was quickly investigated. Gu Jingyuan had given Song Que the authority to handle this matter.

The Rong family wanted Zheng Ning to die, so they secretly bribed Song Que He, and were politely sent back by Song Que He, indicating that they would handle this matter impartially.

In these few days, Jingfei was very sick and soon, someone sent out the news. Song Qi heard the news and took the time to enter the palace.

"Huaizhi."

"I heard that the Zheng family is about to be destroyed."

Song Que frowned: "You are already sick, why do you care? Rest well."

Jingfei tugged on his sleeve. "The daughter of the Zheng family was once my good friend. I can't bear to see her."

As he spoke, tears fell from his eyes. Song Qishen felt his heart ache. He wiped the tears away with his finger and comforted her, "Don't worry, I will do my best."

"I was friends with her before, but after I entered the palace, she married someone, so we didn't have much contact. A few days ago, she came to ask me for help."

"I refused. These past few days, every night, I thought of her tearing her heart out as she shouted at me, scolding me for asking why I didn't save her." Quiet And Steadfast began to cry, his shoulders shaking.

"It's not your fault."

"I know. You are the referee for this matter. I don't want you to make things difficult for me." Jing Fei raised her head and looked at Song Qi He.

Song Que was moved by her and nodded his head: "I understand."

The two talked for a while, so it wasn't good for Song Qi to stay. She could only leave. Jing Fei looked at Song Qi He's leaving figure and sighed.

Zheng Ning's family was extorted, and he found some 'evidence that was incriminating'. Originally, he wanted to exterminate them all. Song Qi personally begged for mercy, so Gu Jingyuan let them go.

Finally, men who have reached the age of 16 are sent to the frontier, there are plenty of female military prostitutes, they are demoted to civilians under the age of 16, and they are not allowed to take the Imperial examinations for three generations.

The Rong family was satisfied with this result and did not pursue this matter any further.

When Song Que begged for mercy, he was sincere. He felt that this case came too fast and too fierce.

From the looks of it, it didn't seem like they were the ones who did it, even though they might have been the ones to do it.

Gu Jing Cheng and Song Que were having dinner together, so they talked about it. The two had doubts in their hearts, but they couldn't find any.

When Jingfei heard the Zheng Family's verdict, she became even more ill. Nightmare and Song Que could not enter the palace often. She worried every day and was even more determined to bring Jingfei out.

Meng Zixian stayed in the harem all day, doing nothing. Recently, the guards had been on guard and the search was also very strict. It was not good for her to do anything on that front.

There were far fewer concubines in the harem, and some ministers had suggested that the one with the highest voice for the selection of concubines should be none other than the Rong family.

The women of the harem had watched for too long and were tired of it. Gu Jingyuan naturally agreed and appointed Gu Jing City to the selection.

Gu Jingcheng had received things from various forces in an attempt to bribe them. Without batting an eyelid, he returned the things back to the city, not a single one of them having been confiscated.

Many women's maps were sent over. Gu Jing City needed to investigate the identities of these women, as well as the people behind them.

Although he only needed to send out orders, he still needed to take notes himself. He was as busy as a top.

While Gu Jing Cheng and Song Que were drinking, Gu Jing Cheng was half-drunk. He self-deprecatingly said, "I thought I was once the capital, but now I've been reduced to being a candidate for a woman."

"King Jing, be careful." Song Qishen reminded him.

Gu Jingcheng smiled and drank his wine, "Just a whimper. Just listen to it, Brother Song."
