After divorce, the princess was forced to raise the villain

Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night. The emperor had just undressed and lay down on the bed with Lin Fengzhi in his arms when the eunuch hurriedly knocked on the door.

"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. The Zhou family are kneeling outside the palace now, waiting to see the Holy Majesty. They even said they won't get up until they see the Holy Majesty."

The eunuch's shrill voice reached the emperor's ears through the door, instantly dampening his interest.

The old emperor, who had been disturbed, looked displeased and said, "Come in and tell me what the family is going crazy about this week at this late hour."

The eunuch pushed open the door and walked in, carefully speaking about the information he had collected, "This...it is said that the princess asked her men to beat Zhou Waner to death."

"What!" The old emperor suddenly sat up in shock. The Zhou family played a very important role in the court. There are basically people from the Zhou family in the Three Books and Six Books. General Zhou has a heavy army. If this matter is not handled well, he may not be able to hold the throne.

I want to sit peacefully!

"Look at the good daughter you taught!"

The old emperor Long Yan was furious and pointed at Lin Fengzhi, his hand shaking with anger.

Lin Fengzhi did not expect that Song Xinyu would do such a thing. She poured a cup of tea and handed it to the old emperor, and gently ran her other hand along the old emperor's back.

"Your Majesty, drink some water and don't get angry."

The old emperor took the teacup and calmed down a little. He heard Lin Fengzhi say again: "Xinyu has always been well-behaved. I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding about this matter. Your Majesty, why don't you let me go with you to have a look."

"Okay, you come with me."

After a while, the old emperor and Lin Fengzhi arrived at the palace gate together.

I saw a vast expanse of white at the door. All the Zhou family members had put on mourning clothes and were kneeling on the ground. Even the elderly patriarch of the Zhou family was dispatched, kneeling in the front row with General Zhou and Mrs. Zhou.

Seeing this, the old emperor stepped forward anxiously and said, "My beloved sirs, what are you doing? Why don't you get up quickly?"

However, no one stood up, and the Zhou family members were still kneeling straight on the ground.

The patriarch kowtowed deeply to the old emperor, "Today's princess secretly asked the palace servants to beat to death my daughter Zhou Waner, the eldest daughter of the Zhou family. Please ask the emperor to uphold justice for my Zhou family!"

"Is there any misunderstanding here?"

After hearing this, General Zhou suddenly raised his head, eyes wide open, "How could there be a misunderstanding! I saw this with my own eyes. My poor daughter was beaten without a piece of good flesh on her back, and her body is still lying at home.

"

"The princess has such disregard for human life and is being tortured in private. According to the law, she should be punished by exile. Please ask the Holy One to deal with it impartially!"

As soon as the patriarch said this, everyone in the Zhou family shouted, "Please, please deal with it justly!"

Lin Fengzhi's eyes turned cold after hearing this. Zhou's family was afraid that they were tired of living and wanted to attack her daughter.

Leaning close to the old emperor's ear, Lin Fengzhi covered her mouth with her hand and whispered, "Your Majesty, General Zhou just lost a daughter. How can it be worth the Zhou family's huge effort, even the clan leader is dispatched?"

Glancing at the old emperor's face, Lin Fengzhi's red lips parted slightly, and her barbed words kept stimulating the old emperor's suspicious heart.

"The Zhou family is testing the Holy One. If the Holy One really punishes Xinyu according to the Zhou family's wishes, I am afraid that the Zhou family will rely on the power in their hands to act even more unscrupulously!"

Lin Fengzhi raised her chin in the direction of the Zhou family, signaling the emperor to look over.

"Holy Lord, look at it. When something like this happened, the Zhou family did not report it. Instead, they knelt directly at the gate of the palace. Why did they come to seek justice? In my opinion, it is better to give the Zhou family a reward. Big things will be reduced, and small things will be reduced to nothing.

Let’s settle this matter first.”

At this time, the guard sent by the emperor to investigate the matter also came back and told the emperor the cause and effect.

The old emperor coughed twice and personally stepped forward to help the head of the Zhou family.

"I already understand this matter. It was Zhou Waner who did it. Those who committed the crime came first. I gave a small punishment in my heart, but failed to supervise the palace people well, so that the palace people accidentally killed Zhou Waner by mistake. This is her fault."

Facing everyone in the Zhou family, the emperor tried to appease the Zhou family with rewards, "I will reward the Zhou family with ten thousand taels of gold and execute the palace servants who attacked Zhou Waner. Are you satisfied with this?"

The Zhou family was filled with resentment. In order for the emperor to secure his throne, the Zhou family had to fight all the way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Now she was just a princess, and she actually said she would attack the Zhou family. She simply didn’t take the Zhou family seriously!

At that moment, some members of the Zhou family shouted, "We don't want rewards, please give justice to my Zhou family!"

Mrs. Zhou was even more filled with grief and anger. Tears flowed from Mrs. Zhou's eyes as if they were free of charge. She was pregnant in ten months and gave birth to Zhou Waner in pain for a whole day. These things actually tried to buy her daughter's life. What a dream!

"My daughter is already dead. What's the use of this reward? Please give me a clear warning from the Holy One and punish me according to the law. Otherwise, I will be kneeling here today, so that the people who wake up tomorrow morning will know that today's princess is

How could you care so little about human life!"

Seeing that something was not going well, Lin Fengzhi hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, this matter arises from the words in my heart. It's better to let me handle it."

The emperor pinched his eyebrows and nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Lin Fengzhi walked up to General Zhou and said, "Although the words in my heart are wrong, Zhou Waner is not without fault. The Holy One has ordered the execution of the palace servants who attacked Zhou Waner. This can be regarded as giving Zhou Waner an explanation."

"In addition, General Zhou, you have a chance to be promoted, and any descendant of the clan recommended by General Zhou can use this opportunity. At the same time, as long as the Zhou family needs help, I will not hesitate to help you."

Lin Fengzhi is the prime minister's legitimate daughter, and her mother's family is very powerful. With her words, it can be regarded as a favor sold by the Lin family to the Zhou family.

"I don't agree!" Mrs. Zhou cried so hard that her heart broke. She was so angry at Lin Fengzhi's words that she actually fainted from crying.

"Madam!" General Zhou was shocked and quickly hugged the crying Madam Zhou into his arms.

The situation was immediately deadlocked. The clan leader thought for a long time, weighed the pros and cons, and persuaded General Zhou in his ear.

"I know that you are deeply saddened by the loss of your daughter, but you have to consider the Zhou family. With this opportunity for promotion, my Zhou family will have more say and strength in the court."

"Clan leader!" General Zhou's eyes were slightly disappointed.

The old patriarch naturally understood General Zhou's reluctance, but for the future of the Zhou family, he had to persuade him to continue.

"You are also a member of the Zhou family. The strong power of the Zhou family will only be beneficial to you. Moreover, the Holy Spirit's current attitude is obviously to protect the princess. Let's discuss this matter in the long run, and we are not afraid that we will not be able to catch the princess in the future."

The old patriarch represents the Zhou family, and many of the Zhou family members here came here because the old patriarch is here.

Now that the old patriarch has compromised, General Zhou has no choice but to agree.
