Chapter 30 I will definitely do justice for you
When I saw someone pointing a spear at a person on the ground and heard her crying out for injustice, I remembered that Fakong said Fuxing was in trouble and wanted to ask him for help. Could she be Fuxing?
Emperor Yongshun also took into consideration that so many people were watching. As an emperor, if he ignored the people's grievances, it would damage the reputation of the royal family and would be criticized for not understanding the people's feelings and not acting on their behalf.
Emperor Yongshun cleared his throat and said to the two soldiers, "You two, please step back. Let me hear what grievances this girl has suffered."
Zheng Sisi immediately flattered him: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is extremely wise and blessed with great fortune!"
Emperor Yongshun smiled and said, "You little girl are quite good at coaxing people. Tell us about your grievances and let everyone hear them."
Zheng Sisi kowtowed again and said, "I was originally the legitimate daughter of Xie Junru, the Minister of Rites. Because of false accusations, I was forced to marry Liu Linfeng, the prince of the Marquisate. However, Liu was not satisfied with the marriage and killed his wife on the day of the wedding. The wound on my head is the evidence." Zheng Sisi pointed to her head. "Fortunately, I was lucky enough not to die. Then I found out about Liu's scandal and asked for a divorce. After the divorce, Liu said that I ruined his reputation and refused to return the dowry as compensation. Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for me."
Emperor Yongshun was in deep thought. It seemed like he had heard this from someone before, but he couldn't remember clearly.
Emperor Yongshun said: "Since it is a divorce, the dowry should be returned. You should go home to find your father and ask him to help you solve it."
Zheng Sisi said: "Your Majesty, I thought so too. But when I returned home, I was stopped outside the door and couldn't even get in. My parents disliked my divorce and wanted to drive me out because returning home would affect the marriages of my sisters. Now I have been forced to break off the engagement with my parents, and they only gave me one hundred taels of silver to live on. I am suffering, so please, Your Majesty, seek justice for me." Zheng Sisi cried as she spoke, and eventually she couldn't speak.
People on both sides were pointing and talking, and many of them watched the whole process that day.
The military officers in front also dismounted and walked back. After listening to Zheng Sisi's story, they were disgusted by the actions of the Marquis' Mansion and Xie Junru, especially the father and son of Duke Zheng, who hated Xie Junru to the core.
The carriages behind the imperial carriage saw that the carriage in front had stopped and also looked out, but they did not dare to get off the carriage without the emperor and empress's order.
Emperor Yongshun finally remembered that this was the gossip that Eunuch Mu had said in front of him a few days ago. However, since it involved the family affairs of the two ministers, Emperor Yongshun still had to give them some face.
Emperor Yongshun paused and said, "I have heard about the incident, but I cannot just listen to your one-sided story. So, you should follow me into the palace and go to the Marquis' Mansion and the Xie Mansion to understand the situation in person before handling the case. If what you said is true, I will definitely seek justice for you."
Hearing that she had to go back to the palace, Zheng Sisi hesitated for a moment, but thinking that so many people were watching her, she would not return without a single return. She kowtowed to Emperor Yongshun and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for caring about my affairs."
Emperor Yongshun shouted, "Eunuch Mu, arrange for her to ride in the eldest princess' carriage and return to the palace."
Eunuch Mu immediately came out and asked Zheng Sisi, "Miss, come this way."
Zheng Sisi knelt down and said, "Thank you, eunuch. Thank you for your trouble."
After sending Zheng Sisi onto the carriage, the generals in front also mounted their horses, and the large army continued to advance towards the direction of the imperial palace.
Zheng Sisi sat on the edge of the carriage, looking at the eldest princess sitting in the carriage with her big eyes, and said with a smile: "Greetings to the eldest princess."
The eldest princess also looked straight at Zheng Sisi. She had also heard about Zheng Sisi's affairs. She did have a bad reputation in the three years since she returned to Beijing. No famous lady was willing to date her.
