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

Just as the silence in the hall was about to cause one to suffocate, the sound of a teacup breaking was suddenly heard.

Everyone jumped in fright. Only when they carefully raised their eyes did they realize that the one who fell out of the tea cup was Imperial Concubine Xian.

The sky was dark, and her scarred face was even more frightening. Many people didn't dare to raise their heads to look.

"A hundred officials are asking for orders to force my daughter-in-law to death. You really have the guts!"

His rough voice was like sandpaper, causing everyone to unconsciously frown.

Bu Yun scanned everyone's faces and said, "Ning Hua, you were born on the sixth day of the 22nd day of the fifth month, at Hongzheng, right?"

Shen Ninghua nodded and replied, "Reporting to mufei, it was indeed at this hour."

"Alright, if I remember correctly, there should be quite a number of people born on this day. Even the families of my lords should have been born at this time. I think, the head of the Ministry of Justice? It seems like your daughter was born at this time of the day. I saw her on the electoral roll a few days ago, so I have some impression of her. "

The Minister of Justice who was called broke out in a cold sweat. "Esteemed imperial concubine, this old official's daughter …"

Bu Yun interrupted his words with a sneer, "Being born at the same time and being a woman, coupled with the fact that they're all related to the Imperial Family in the general election, all three of these characteristics are compatible with one another. There's no reason why only congealing would be harmful to the Imperial Family.

Ye Wu Chen raised his head. "Imperial Consort, this isn't necessarily the case."

Bu Yun coldly stared at him and said, "Wu Chen, you just said that it was the Heavenly Fate Plane that had an impact on the imperial family. Isn't the Life Plane the birth of a new life? Could it be that you were just babbling nonsense just now?"

"Everything that I have just said is true." The hesitation in his heart only lasted for a split-second. He quickly made up his mind. Even if he had to sacrifice a few women, it would be worth it to be able to kill Shen Ninghua.

"Alright, if that's the case, then we should first check on the maidens born at this time. Then, we should search for them among the common folk of the capital. Finally, we should kill all those born at this time in the Great An Country!"

"Why not? The people of the world are all the citizens of the Emperor, and are all related to the royal family. Does anyone think that the people of the Great An Empire have nothing to do with the Emperor? "" No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Who dared to say that it had nothing to do with him? Wasn't that the same as rebelling?

"No, it can't be like this," The Minister of Justice hastened to kneel before him. He only had his daughter and treated her like a precious treasure. How could he bear to let her die for nothing? It can't be like this! "

"That's right. According to the Imperial Concubine, who knows how many innocent people will die?"

Imperial Concubine Xian sneered, "Innocent? No one in the royal family dared to say they were innocent! Speaking of which, just who can we blame for the fact that they were born at a bad time? "

"No, killing like this would cause great chaos in the world. The Emperor cannot believe what Wu Chen has said." When it came to him, there was finally a person who could not help but retort against Wu Chen.

He turned to Wu Chen and said, "Master, I've always thought of showing mercy to our family. But now, it seems that it isn't the case. How can you be so reckless with your cultivation?"

Wu Chen's expression changed slightly. "Your majesty, I never said I wanted to kill someone born at the same time as the princess. I only said that I wanted to cultivate."

"Heh, if you want to cultivate for ten years, then you might as well kill these women to your heart's content."

"That's right. With so many people, can Grandmaster Wu Chen keep busy?"

"Ridiculous, truly ridiculous!"

"Master Wu Chen, are you saying that we should capture all the girls from the Great An Empire born at the same time as Princess Zhao Hua?"

"No, Princess …"

After hesitating for a moment, Wu Chen wanted to explain, but Baili Junyi cut him off. "Master Wu Chen, could it be that only this king's consort has any influence over the royal family? The others have no influence over them?"

"Yes. After all, the emperor thinks of the princess as his adopted daughter, and married the county prince as his consort. Her relationship with the imperial family is the closest, that's why …"

"Oh, so you're saying that as long as Ning Hua isn't royal father's adopted daughter and also not this king's wangfei, then she won't have any effect on the Imperial Family? After all, the other girls who were born at the same time didn't have much of an impact, right? "

Wu Chen choked on his words. "This …"

"Wu Chen, are you framing Ning Hua or are you secretly mocking royal father and this king?" The cold light in Baili Junyi's eyes flared.

"I absolutely do not have the intention of mocking the Emperor or the Prince."

"You still dare to quibble! As long as you are not seen as an adopted daughter by royal father or if this duke does not marry you as an imperial concubine, then there will be no influence on the royal family.

At this moment, Wu Chen finally understood what Baili Junyi was thinking. If he said that not only did Shen Ninghua have an influence on the emperor, but he also meant that Shen Ninghua had an influence over the royal family. Regardless of the outcome, it would be an unforgivable crime for a monk like him!

Shen Ninghua harrumphed coldly in his heart. The empress had brought over all of Chen Chen to make things difficult for Baili Junyi, so she decided to let Wu Chen choose how she wanted to die first before settling the score with the empress!

The eyes of Baili Junyi were filled with authority as she stared dully at Wu Chen. Her gaze was intimidating. "Master Wu Chen, you should answer this king's question!"

"Your majesty, this humble monk was only thinking of His Majesty. To think that Imperial Concubine Xian and Duke Yi would misunderstand my words, I can understand why both of you want to protect Princess Radiant. However, where is the safety of the emperor?" The incident at the Hall of Sesame was already a foregone conclusion. Sigh, this humble monk shall say nothing more. "

Baili Junyi smirked coldly. "Heh heh, retreat with all your might. Wu Chen, do you still think you can continue deceiving your Imperial Father? You're still not admitting your wrongs?"

Turning his head, Wu Chen righteously continued, "This humble one was only kind enough to tell you. Why is Duke Yi so unrelenting? "If you want to protect Princess Radiant, this humble monk won't force you. I just hope that Duke Yi can bear the consequences!"

"Then I don't need you to worry." Baili Junyi smirked coldly in her heart. You'd better take care of yourself before you take care of anyone else.

Baili Qingfeng's brows were tightly locked together. He only felt a splitting headache. Suddenly, there was a commotion from outside. He looked up and asked, "What's the matter? Why is it so noisy?"

The Prefecture Overseer hurriedly went out to check. When he returned, he was followed by a mother and son who were dressed in plain clothes. For a moment, everyone's gaze fell on them.

Shock was written all over the face of the governor of the capital, and he was looking at Wu Chen from time to time.

Before anyone could react, they heard the child that came in suddenly pounce in front of Wu Chen. He shouted loudly, "Father, you are father?!"

For a moment, everyone felt that the thunderclap just now had been too small. Now, it was the true thunderclap in a clear sky.

A child who looked to be a teenager was actually calling a monk his father. It was truly a strange story for a monk to have a son.

Even the calm Baili Qingfeng was staring with widened eyes. His eyes were filled with disbelief: "Wu Chen, what's going on?"

Ye Wu Chen was completely stunned. "Imperial …." "Your majesty, no, this humble monk doesn't know what's going on. This child is not this poor monk's son …"

Father, how could you not recognize your son? Your son and mother traveled a long way to find you, there was a flood at home, your grandparents died, my mother and I had a broken foot on the way, and we were even driven away by someone. It was not easy to find out that you came here today, and when you broke in, you were almost beaten to death.

Shen Ninghua and Baili Junyi stood at the side, silent as they watched the ridiculous scene unfolding before them. They didn't need to rush to add insult to injury. All they needed to do was watch quietly.

Imperial Concubine Xian, Bu Yun, was not as patient as before. "Haha, this is truly funny. A great monk should be far away from the mortal world. This is the best joke of the year. Your majesty, chenqie saw that the heavens had just sent out a warning just now. I'm afraid it's to warn you that the Demonic Monk's words have deceived the masses and framed the people of the imperial family? "

Baili Qingyuan slammed the table, causing the tea cup on the table to clink loudly against the table. The steward at the side hastily spoke up. "Who is below? Why aren't you bowing when you see the emperor?"

The woman who entered the room quickly pulled her son, who was in the dust cassock, over and kneeled on the ground. "This humble woman, Wang Shi, and her son pay their respects to the Emperor."

"Wang Clan? What does your status have to do with Wu Chen? "

Lady Wang trembled. Her body was pressed close to the ground as she reported, "Reporting to your majesty, this humble woman is Ding Haoyun's wife. This time, she has brought her son to the capital to find her husband, who has not returned home for many years."

"Who is the Ding Haoyun you spoke of?"

Lady Wang raised her head and looked at Wu Chen with eyes that were filled with hatred. "It's this heartless and unscrupulous beast!"

The surrounding officials didn't know what to do. Ding Haoyun, Wu Chen? This was truly a huge show.

Lady Wang's eyes were filled with tears as she said, "Your majesty, eighteen years ago, I married Ding Haoyun from the Ding Family Village. Before we got married, Ding Haoyun left my hometown under the title of Imperial Examinations. "Now that my child is eighteen years old, if it weren't for the difficulties at home that make it difficult for me to continue living, I would never have come out."

Wu Chen stood there, feeling cold sweat pour down his back. "Nonsense! I don't even know you."

Baili Qingfeng spoke, "It's been eighteen years since we last met. As a village woman, you don't have much access to information. How could you recognize Wu Chen as your long-lost husband?"

As the refugees left Jinzhou, they were taken in by a temple in the Southern City. I heard that Master Wu Chen had profound Buddhist arts, and even went to a temple in the Southern City to talk about it. That little monk was especially fond of Master Wu Chen, and he even painted a portrait of Master Wu Chen.

"A painting can recognize a person who has been missing for more than ten years?" Bai Li Qing Cang was suspicious.

"Your majesty, this is simply a bunch of nonsense. Someone is clearly trying to frame me, this is for your majesty to investigate."

Lady Wang suddenly stood up and grabbed Wu Chen's cassock, ripping open his collar, "Ding Haoyun, there is a kaleidoscope on your neck, I won't recognize it wrong!"

Wu Chen pushed her away abruptly. "Wretch, you …" The moment the words left his mouth, he suddenly paused, "Almsgiver, please behave yourself."

The gazes of the surrounding people changed. One of them shouted the word 'shrew' in an instant. This was truly unheard-of.
