Chapter 493: The Ministry of Punishment Moves Into Yuhui Nunnery

A gangster suddenly appeared in Yuhui Nunnery and wanted to kidnap the late emperor's concubines. As soon as the news came out, the entire capital was in an uproar.

Yuhui Nunnery is very famous. Not only does the Buddha have spirits, but also the concubines of the late emperor are imprisoned in it. Of course, this is just a legend. Few people have actually entered the deepest part of Yuhui Nunnery and seen those who were imprisoned. of concubines.

The beautiful years they once had are now nothing but ancient Buddhas with green lanterns. Even if someone thinks of them, it is just a pity that they have no children. Who told them not to have children!

The problem of the late emperor's heirs was the biggest flaw of the late emperor. Decades after the founding of the Dongcang Kingdom, it was the founding emperor and the late emperor who brought down the country single-handedly. However, it was the problem of heirs that made those ministers who were loyal to the late emperor, There is nothing to say about being loyal to the current emperor. Even if His Highness King Chen is alive, he is just waiting for death.

Looking at it like this, I’m not sure how long I can survive!

Even if someone wants to take advantage of Chu Liuchen, they must be able to take advantage of him. It is said that this person is lying in bed now, not knowing whether he will live or die, and he is afraid that he may not be able to survive.

Those concubines deserved to be imprisoned because their stomachs were not up to par. Many of the loyal ministers of the late emperor who hated their stomachs were secretly cursing.

But even if it is a secret curse, it is just a secret curse. Besides, it has been so long. Even Chu Liuchen, the only heir of the late emperor, is almost dead. Why scold a few women? There was no need to assassinate them. They were just waiting to die in the depths of Yuhui Temple. It would be troublesome to kill them.

Yuhui Nunnery only has a few nuns to guard it, so there really is no need to worry about the rest.

But just when everyone was negligent, something happened at Yuhui Nunnery. A nun was killed, and it was said that the former emperor's concubine was also killed. After shocking the entire capital, the emperor was furious and sent people to Yuhui Nunnery to investigate the matter. , determined to investigate this matter thoroughly, and not let anyone kill the late emperor's concubine.

The meaning in this is enough to make the emperor feel uncomfortable.

Although they were just a few useless women waiting for death, if they were killed, it would be a different matter. They would even doubt the emperor's legitimacy. If you say this, you really can't take a look at it.

Therefore, few men appeared in the punishment department of Yuhui Temple. A large number of soldiers began to come in and out. Some ladies from aristocratic families who were originally practicing in the mountains had to return home one by one. For fear of getting into something bad, how far should they stay away at this time? Just stay away as far as possible, no one wants to get involved in this kind of throne issue.

If you are not careful, you may offend the Nine Clans.

Shao Wanru did not move, but when the people in the lobby of the Punishment Department came to check, the eldest princess Ruian was already there. The official who came from the Punishment Department had to wait outside for a long time before he saw the eldest princess.

"I have met the eldest princess!" The official from the Ministry of Justice came forward to pay homage to the eldest princess Ruian.

"What's the matter?" the eldest princess said coldly.

"I would like to ask where Miss Shao Wu was at that time, and what did she hear or see? The quiet room where Miss Shao Wu was at that time was not far from the place where the accident occurred. You should have heard something!" He answered carefully, for fear of offending the eldest princess.

"Are you doubting my granddaughter?" The eldest princess's face became increasingly cold.

"It's not a suspicion, I just asked Miss Shao Wu, if..." The judge swallowed and said in embarrassment. This was an order from his superiors and he had to do it. However, this matter obviously offended Princess Ruian. After hearing this, The eldest princess felt as much pain as a pearl for the newly found Miss Shao Wu.

"Bold!" The eldest princess slapped the table with her hand so hard that the tea cup on it almost fell over. The sweat on the officer's forehead immediately fell down.

"Grandma, don't be angry. This is also a routine matter. Just let him ask. You can feel at ease if he asks." Shao Wanru spoke softly to help him out.

"Yes, yes, eldest princess, it's the emperor's order. It's a routine matter. I just ask Miss Shao Wu. Don't dare to disturb me after asking!"

The official nodded repeatedly, fearing that he would make the eldest princess angry again if he spoke too slowly.

It is impossible to doubt the fifth lady of Xingguo Gongfu who has been cultivating in the mountain for almost three years. Before coming, they also checked all the situations of the ladies who have been cultivating in the mountain. This person is on the mountain to observe filial piety, and the three-year period is about to expire.

She is young, has an extraordinary status, and is a weak woman. Moreover, she has been cultivating for many years and observes filial piety for her parents. It is a very admirable thing to say, and it is not like those arty women who say pure cultivation, that is, Just enjoying the scenery and flowers on the mountain, for this reason, the promoter admired this determined young lady from the bottom of his heart.

Hearing this, she started to help him out, and he felt more and more fond of her.

"Then you ask, I'll be here to listen!" Princess Ruian paused for a moment, then said slowly.

"Yes, I was dismissed very quickly. It was just a routine matter. Thank you, Princess Dachang!" The official wiped his sweat and thanked her again and again. Then he looked up at Miss Shao Wu who was standing aside. After he entered the door just now, he only noticed the elder princess. The princess dared to look around. After seeing Miss Shao Wu in front of her, the judge couldn't help but froze for a moment.

But he reacted quickly and hurriedly lowered his head. He was secretly surprised. This was the daughter of the former Crown Prince Xingguo and Princess Qinghua. Her appearance was worthy of being called a beauty. The most beautiful woman in the capital, he saw. However, in the eyes of this promoter, the so-called most beautiful woman is still a little too dull compared to the one in front of her.

"May I ask Miss Shao Wu, what were you doing when the accident happened?" The promotion officer was also determined. After being surprised, he immediately became clear-headed and lowered his head to ask.

Regarding the Miss Shao Wu in front of him, he felt it was better not to look into those twinkling eyes, otherwise he would feel that any questions he asked were blasphemous to the Miss Shao Wu in front of him.

"I went to bed early that day! But then I heard sounds outside, which seemed to be weapons or something. My maid also heard it and stayed with me that night."

Shao Wanru said generously.

Chu Liuchen put out the candle early. Even if someone noticed her, they would think that she had fallen asleep, and she had indeed fallen asleep at this time in the past.

"Are there any other unexpected things?" The promoter's face straightened, he thought about it and asked.

"I didn't feel anything else. Then I fell asleep leaning against the maid. When I woke up, there was chaos outside. The master in the nunnery sent several waves of people over to ask if it was safe. Then my grandmother came too." Shao Wanru replied.

This was indeed the truth at that time. After Yujie came in to accompany her, the two of them didn't say anything. They just listened silently to the sound of weapons outside. Yujie had been worried that someone was coming, but Shao Wanru didn't have this worry. Later, He fell asleep leaning on the mat.

"Miss Shao Wu, can you allow me to ask your maid one more question?" The official nodded after hearing what Shao Wanru said.

"Please!" Shao Wanru nodded.

Yujie then followed the official to the yard to ask questions.

"Were you really not scared yesterday?" The eldest princess looked at Shao Wanru up and down and asked with concern. She had just come over and before she could say anything, an official from the Ministry of Punishment came in.

"Grandma, don't worry, I'm fine!" Shao Wanru said with a sweet smile, stretched out his hand and pulled the eldest princess's clothes and shook her coquettishly.

She is also really close to this grandmother. Before she found out her life experience, she was very close to the eldest princess Ruian. Facts have also proved that her grandmother really loves her and loves her in everything. Everyone stands on their own side and considers everything for themselves.

"It's best to do nothing. You are like this, why don't you go down the mountain? It's not safe to live up there anymore. We don't know what will happen!"

Although Princess Ruian was relieved, she still felt uneasy.

"Grandma, don't worry. Even if it was unsafe before, it will be very safe now. People from the Ministry of Punishment are watching here. What else can happen in Yuhui Nunnery? Besides, if I go back, I have to go back to Xingguo Duke's Mansion, but I don't really want to go back there." Shao Wanru said bluntly.

These words made Princess Ruian feel distressed.

He hated the Mrs. Xingguo Gongfu more and more in his heart. If the Mrs. Xingguo Gongfu had not been so unkind, how could his granddaughter be in this situation now.

"Grandma, if I go back at this time, not only will I be teased, but the previous two and a half years will be considered in vain. Others will only laugh at my lack of filial piety and perseverance. Even my father and mother, who are under the influence of Jiuquan, will blame me. Yes." Shao Wanru's eyes turned red and he said sadly.

Going back at this time will make the good reputation that was hard to build up all of a sudden go down the drain.

Of course the eldest princess Ruian knew about this, but she was even more reluctant to leave her granddaughter. She was afraid that her granddaughter would have some shortcomings, and she was so angry and sad that she couldn't even speak.

"Grandma, if you are free recently, come to the mountain to see me. You can live in my yard first, and I'd better live here first. Mrs. Xingguo wanted me to come down the mountain before, and I've already received several letters. The Madam also wanted to organize a birthday for me at Yuhui Nunnery!"

Shao Wanru raised the corners of his lips mockingly and said what he originally wanted Yu Jie to say when he came down from the mountain.

"What, she really thinks that this Yuhui Temple is the back garden of her family, and she can come here as she pleases!" Princess Ruian snorted coldly, her face turned pale with anger. She was actually going to come up the mountain today. The news came from the Queen Mother, saying that the eldest lady of the Shao Mansion openly expressed her deep sisterly affection for her granddaughter and said that she would hold a birthday party for her granddaughter at Yuhui Temple.

Now even Mrs. Xingguo Gongtai said this, she is indeed an old fool!

"Don't worry Zhuo Zhuo, with grandma here, they will never let them cause trouble for a birthday party. This Yuhui Temple is not a place where Xingguo Duke's palace can reach out if it wants to!" The eldest princess Ruian became more and more annoyed and sneered. He said, such a big thing happened in Yuhui Nunnery, and Xingguo Duke's office has not sent anyone to ask about it until now. I will never spare that old fool on this matter.

"Miss, Miss Shao is here!" Qu Le hurried in to report.
