The harem is full of gossip, Your Majesty, you are being cheated Ch. 223

No one paid attention to her at first, but when she really picked up the drumstick, everyone couldn't help but look over in shock.

If you want to hit this Dengwen drum, you have to pay a price.

This woman looked weak and fragile. If she really received those ten sticks, wouldn't she lose half her life?

Some kind-hearted people want to go forward and persuade her.

However, before he could step forward, the woman had already knocked hard for the first time.

At first, she was still a little uncomfortable.

Her whole body was a little stiff.

Gradually, more and more people looked over, but she became more comfortable.

"Dong dong dong!"

The sound of the drum spread far away.

The people gathered around with curiosity.

Some yamen runners had already gone in nervously to report.

Dengwen drum, this was the first time someone has struck Dengwen drum this year!

The governor of the Capital was also a little curious.

He heard that the one who struck Dengwen drum this time was a weak woman. Could it be that there was another great injustice?

If it weren't for being desperate, ordinary people would not appeal without evidence.

"Go to court!" The magistrate said.

Soon, the woman was invited in.

The door was instantly surrounded by people who were watching the excitement.

"Who is in the audience? Raise your head." The magistrate said.

Then, the woman raised her head calmly.

The governor of the Capital thought that the woman's clothes and appearance did not look like those of ordinary people. Moreover, why did she not kneel when she saw him?

He was hesitating.

The woman had already said crisply, "Chen Shuangyu greets his excellency."

Chen Shuangyu...

This name seemed familiar.

The governor of the Capital continued to ask, "What is your grievance?"

Chen Shuangyu said without hesitation, "My mother has been bedridden for many days, but she has never recovered. Even the imperial physician in the palace could not find the cause of the disease. I suspect that there is something else going on. I came to report the case and request the intervention of the government office, the Ministry of Justice, and the Court of Judicial Review."

The governor of the Capital was stunned.

Just because the mother was bedridden, she suspected poisoning?

The imperial physicians in the palace had seen her. Were the imperial physicians in the palace so easy to invite?

The governor of the Capital was about to say something.

Suddenly, he reacted!

He almost fell down.

The governor of the Capital's beard trembled, "You... Chen... you are, Chen Shuyi???"

They all knew that the Emperor's Chen Shuyi was pardoned and expelled from the palace today.

However, no one expected that Chen Shuyi did not go to Chen's house, but came here.

She also forcibly beat the drum to request the government to intervene and investigate her mother's serious illness.

This... this...

The governor of the Capital's forehead was immediately covered with cold sweat.

He had only one thought, could this be... the Emperor's intention?

The Emperor pardoned Chen Shuyi and expelled her from the palace today. Did he have the chessboard ready long ago?

Then what should he do?

Among the people watching outside, there was a sudden burst of intense discussion.

My God, this woman turned out to be the concubine in the palace!

The concubine was going to complain like them, beating the drum to report the incident?

Moreover, what she wanted to investigate was her mother's condition.

Regardless of whether it was an exaggeration or not, this concubine was very filial.

Everyone kept talking.

Suddenly, a loud shout rang out.

"Nonsense!" Chen Jingming wiped the sweat from his forehead and rushed in quickly.

He grabbed Chen Shuyi and said, "What are you doing here? Your mother is just sick, what's the secret? Are you going to make her die of anger if you keep making such a fuss?"

Chen Shuangyu looked at Chen Jingming calmly, and then she shook his hand away expressionlessly, "As long as father doesn't want to leave the capital, I think mother's life will not always be safe."

Chen Jingming's face turned pale.

The discussion at the scene suddenly became louder.

There were spies from all walks of life in the crowd. For a moment, the eyes of the whole capital were focused here.

"The imperial concubine seems to be suspicious of her father."

"It's hard to say."

"Isn't this the former Minister Chen? I heard that he was demoted by the Emperor. Maybe it's because he did something he shouldn't have done."

Amid the discussion, Chen Jingming said with a gloomy face, "I don't know where you heard these rumors. Your mother is seriously ill, and I take care of her day and night. Have I ever been slack for a day? Although you are in the palace, your mother is seriously ill, and you can't even send a letter? Now that you rarely leave the palace, you come here to make trouble! Are you going to make your mother angry to death? Or does the Emperor just not tolerate me, Chen Jingming, and must kill me."

As Chen Jingming said this, a flash of despair flashed across his face, and he looked very painful.

The discussion sounded again.

"Is this the arrangement of the current emperor?"

"Hush, speak softly. However, the Emperor has done more than one or two absurd things, and it is possible that there is one more."

"Will Minister Chen be wronged?"

"Then Chen Shuangyu is also unfilial. She actually framed her own father."

Chen Shuangyu sneered and was about to speak.

Suddenly, a voice sounded.

"Prince An He has arrived."

The crowd parted, and Yue Hua came hurriedly.

He glanced at Chen Shuangyu and said calmly, "Chen Shuyi, the Emperor finally gave you grace and allowed you to leave the palace. You should go to see your mother quickly and stop making trouble here. You should know that what you said is just hearsay, and there is no evidence to prove that there is another hidden reason for Mrs. Chen's illness. You forcefully report to the authorities, isn't this embarrassing for the prefect? Okay, okay, everyone disperse, this matter is over."

Yue Hua said, and was about to disperse the crowd.

Chen Shuyi stood there without moving.

She said calmly, "There is indeed no evidence to prove it. That's why I rang the drum to report it."

Chen Jingming was stunned for a moment.

Then, his pupils suddenly condensed.
