One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

When Xiao Huan Xi returned home, she looked as if she had gone stupid. She stayed in her room and didn't even eat or drink. No matter how Xiao JingRan knocked, she didn't open the door.

Xiao Feng Jue came in from outside and said to Xiao Jing Ran: "Father, you should go to the court."

Only then did Xiao Jingran realize that the time was getting late, "Huan Xi, your father will go to the court first. Don't worry, I'll definitely help you with that!"

Chu Junyi had thrown her sister out for a day and a night just for a woman.

Xiao Feng Jue felt that something was wrong and quickly pulled Xiao Jingran back: "Father, how are you going to get justice?"

"Shen Ninghua relied on the Emperor's favor to run amok in the capital. Could it be that there is no king's law that can control her? Chu Junyi was also present. He almost forgot who raised him up to this day! "

"Father! Don't forget what you told me at the beginning. There are some things that absolutely cannot be leaked out! "

"You don't need to worry about that. I know what I'm doing. Stay at home and accompany your sister!" After he finished speaking, he did not wait for Xiao Feng Jue to say anything and left in big strides.

Xiao Feng clenched his fist tightly as his heart paled. Every time he fought with Xiao Jingran and Xiao Huan Xi, he would feel powerless and worried. They had gone mad, not to mention Shen Ning Hua, who was now a pampered saint, even Chu Junyi couldn't do anything against them.

Xiao Huan Xi was sitting on her bed. When she heard the commotion outside, her lips curved up into a faint smile, "Shen Ning Hua, you better take good care of my father's anger. I don't believe that a noble family of the Xiao family can't cure a vexed princess like you!"

Xiao Feng Jue abruptly raised his leg and kicked the door open! The door crashed to the ground, showing how much force he had used.

Before Xiao Huan Xi could stop smiling, she saw Xiao Feng walk in with a dark expression on her face. "Xiao Huan Xi, are you not satisfied that you didn't drag the Xiao family to death?"

"Big brother, what are you talking about? I don't understand!" Xiao Huan Xi was enraged that her big brother would scold her the moment he opened his mouth!

"Don't understand? I even suspect that you are still not the daughter of the Xiao family. If it wasn't for the deep hatred between you and the Xiao family, how could you not listen to my persuasion?! Didn't I already tell you not to use any tricks behind her back?

"Big brother," Xiao Huan Xi's expression turned cold, "What method are you talking about? You just wanted me to calm down a little and perform a little bit to win over big brother Jun Yi, but he and Shen Ning Hua are going to get married in a few months. How can I wait for that?"

Xiao Feng pouted and slapped her in the face, "You don't want to use the method I told you, so you shamelessly use aphrodisiac?"

"So what? As long as it's useful, it's fine!"

"Useful? What's the use of your method other than the next one? "

Xiao Huan Xi choked, "I … I just didn't plan it well, but Big Bro, why do you always have to vent your anger on me every time? I always wonder if you're helping me or Shen Ninghua … Wait a minute, Big Bro, it can't be that you have some unspeakable thoughts towards Shen Ninghua, right? "

Xiao Huan Xi's gaze was as sharp as a knife. She wished she could cut open a person's chest and see if Shen Ninghua had drugged them.

"No wonder you're always blaming me. You even forbade me from scheming against Shen Ninghua. So it was you who liked that slut!"

"Don't speak nonsense!" Xiao Feng trembled from anger. "I've helped you time and time again, and it's fine if you don't believe me. But you actually suspect your own brother. Fine, I'll tell you why I'm stopping you. "Chu Junyi's identity is special!" Special? Isn't he the adopted son of my Xiao family?

"Because he is a prince! It is the son of the princess of Great Yue State, Bu Liufeng, who escaped from the palace twenty years ago! "

"You said the princess of Great Yue State …" Thinking back to the incident twenty years ago, Xiao Hanxi's face turned pale.

"All you wanted to do was to fight for Chu Junyi, but what use do you have other than to give him trouble?" "Now that you've angered my father to the point that he lost all sense of reason, if he were to reveal Chu Junyi's identity, I'll have to wait for everyone else to die for your stupidity!"

Xiao Feng clenched his fists tightly and punched the pillar on the bed, leaving a deep imprint. "My Xiao family is truly doomed!"

Xiao Huan Xi was stunned for a while. Her panic had nearly made her collapse. She loved Chu Junyi dearly, otherwise she wouldn't have pestered him without a care for her honor. She didn't want anything to happen to him.

"What should we do? What should we do?" He wanted to stop his father first, and then … "Then I'll look for brother Jun Yi. This secret …" Suddenly, Xiao Huan Xi stopped and stared at him. She had a bold idea in her mind. "If I were to use this matter to threaten Chu Junyi, he definitely wouldn't reject it …"

On the other side, Xiao JingRan angrily went up to the court. Inside the palace, Shen Ninghua had already received the news. He tidied up his clothes and entered the palace in a horse carriage.

The court had already fallen into an uproar. The Minister of Rites' assistant minister knelt on the floor, his tears soaking his official uniform. Beside him was Wang Wei, who was still in a coma from frothing at the mouth.

"Your Majesty, you must uphold justice for my son! He didn't do anything good, and was even thrown into the brothel with aphrodisiac, then was even ruthlessly thrown into the beast pens. His actions simply obliterated the conscience of the heavens, completely disregarding the laws of the Great An Kingdom."

"Your majesty, if the murderer dares to do such a cruel thing to this humble subject's son today, he might even stab a hole in the sky tomorrow. If this kind of person is not eliminated, the people's hearts will not be at ease and the country will not live in peace for one day!"

"That's right, Your Majesty. The culprit doesn't place the laws of the country in his eyes at all, and his methods are extremely despicable. It's rare to see someone without any shame like him."

You come and go with me, the officials said righteously, full of the feeling that this person would collapse if not for the sky.

Xiao Jingran stood at the side with his head down and didn't speak. Since this matter concerned Xiao Huan Xi's reputation, he couldn't say much. However, if he didn't speak, he could make Shen Ninghua die a graveless death.

Baili Qingqing sat on the dragon throne with a deadpan expression. He swept his cold eyes over the officials who were discussing the matter. He only felt that their racket was giving him a headache!

"All of you are working together today. After all, it's just us punishing the culprit. Who is it then?"

The officials collectively paused and looked at the Minister of Rites.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the culprit was … "It's Princess Zhao Hua …"

Baili Qing Cang raised his head abruptly, his sharp eyes swept across the officials below like a cold wind, "Princess Zhao Hua... It's Princess Zhao Hua again? "

The officials were all silent, not daring to make a sound. The officials watching coldly from the side all sneered. For such a long time, the only person the emperor doted on was Princess Radiant, but these people didn't have eyes. They simply lifted their heads and rammed it into the guillotine!

"Your Majesty, it's not that this humble subject and the rest have wholeheartedly sought trouble with Princess Zhao Hua, it's that this matter was indeed done by her. This humble subject dares to confront the princess face to face!"

A ravine appeared between Baili Qingfeng's eyebrows. An attendant at the side stepped forward and reported in a low voice, "Reporting to the Emperor, Princess Zhao Hua is right outside the hall."

Baili Qingqing's gaze turned gentle, "Princess Xuan, enter the palace."

Dressed in the attire of a princess, Shen Ninghua looked like a piece of cold jade retrieved from a cold pond. She was bright, noble, and threatening, "Shen Ninghua greets royal father. Long live royal father. Long live, long live, long live your father!"

"Rise, Ning Hua. You didn't even enter the palace much in the past, why are you waiting outside this morning?"

"Father, I came today to offer a treasure to Father. I originally wanted to ask to see you after you leave for the next dynasty, but who would have thought that you would directly announce my arrival at the Hall of Acceptance."

The Minister of Rites looked at Shen Ninghua with hatred before gritting his teeth and saying, "Princess, can't you see that there's another person lying in the hall?"

Shen Ninghua turned to look at the Minister of Rites and Wang Wei who was on the ground, "You must be the Minister's Assistant Minister, Lord Wang. Shen Ninghua turned to look at the Minister of Rites and Wang Wei who was on the ground," You must be the Minister's Assistant Minister, Lord Wang.

"You are just spouting nonsense. Since my son was killed, naturally, I must seek justice!"

"Justice? Lord Wang, you really dare to say that. "

"Princess Yaohua, the Emperor did not care about your status and personally bestowed the title of Princess upon you. You should be grateful to the Emperor, and not act recklessly based on the love of the Emperor!"

Shen Ninghua turned around slightly, the smile on her face became colder by three points. "Please advise me, Sir Wang, why do I rely on royal father's favor to do as I please?"

"My son, Wang Wei, was drugged and thrown into a brothel. The princess should know about this, right?"

Shen Ninghua sneered, "That's right. I do know the inside story, and I know it very well."

The Minister of Rites felt a surge of excitement in his heart. Shen Ninghua was about to admit it. "Princess, are you admitting your crime by saying so?"

"That's right, I ordered someone to feed Wang Wei aphrodisiac, and I also ordered someone to throw him into the brothel." Shen Ninghua admitted directly.

This time, the officials were all excited and shouted with red faces and thick necks.

"Your majesty, you heard it as well. Princess Radiant has no laws in her heart. She's simply lawless."

"As a princess, you should restrain your actions and set an example for all the women in the world, instead of doing such shameless things."

"May the Emperor severely punish Princess Zhao Hua. May the citizens be at ease and give peace to the nation."

Xiao Jingran looked at Shen Ninghua in surprise. She actually admitted to it so easily?

Baili Qingqing suddenly slammed the table, "Quiet down! How noisy are you guys!?"

The hall suddenly became silent.

"Ning Hua, what you said just now is true."

Shen Ninghua nodded her head and replied, "Reporting to Imperial Father, what I said just now is indeed true. However, I'm very curious. I only punished a lecher, so why are all of you attacking me in unison? His Excellency Wang and the man who had just spoken were not afraid to change their tongues if they were to say too much! Wang Wei was just an official with a flat head. Yet, he had risen to the hearts of the people and the country. How many layers were there in total? How could he live up to the hearts of the people? "He can afford it?"

Look at what Wang Wei is!

"You …" The Minister of Rites was so angry that his face turned purple and he almost fainted.

However, Shen Ninghua ignored him completely. She directly said, "Moreover, Lord Xiao should be clear about why I gave him the aphrodisiac."

Xiao Jingran looked up and frowned: "What is the princess saying? Why don't I understand? "

Shen Ninghua tilted his head. "What? Didn't Xiao Hengxi tell you when she got back?"
