When I returned to the capital, I first returned to Ba Ye's house.
After dressing up, I found Ba Ye, but he was the only one at home.
I ran into the study and saluted quickly: "Master Eight, what is Master Nine's condition now?"
The eighth master stood up and walked to me: "The ninth brother is currently imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion.
The fourteenth brother interceded for the ninth brother and was scolded by Emperor Ama.
He was "lying on the bed" in the palace of Concubine De.
The tenth brother was also imprisoned.
Grounded.
"Why is it so serious?"
I actually already knew that there would be punishment, but I didn't know that I was still very panicked when I heard it.
Master Ba: "Have you brought the witness?"
"Bring it, let's go find the emperor and explain it clearly."
I originally wanted to turn around and leave immediately.
"Yeah."
Mr.
Ba quickly agreed to go with me.
When we came to the palace, Ba Ye and I asked to see the emperor at the gate of the Yangxin Hall, but the father-in-law came out and said to us: "Ba Ye, princess, the emperor said that he is not free now, so you should go back first."
After seeing my father-in-law go in, I said to the eighth master: "The emperor will definitely come out, we will wait here."
"Okay, I'll wait together," said the Eighth Master.
At this moment, he suddenly felt that although the Eighth Master might have become friends with the Ninth Master, the Tenth Master, and the Fourteenth Master in order to expand his power, at this moment, I was not just watching.
At this point, there is also this sincere feeling for the brothers.
"And me."
Fourth Master came over and stood next to me.
I looked at him and smiled, working together, we will definitely let the emperor receive us.
It was getting dark, and the weather seemed to have changed suddenly.
The originally blue sky outside had now turned gray.
The strong wind that was sweeping in was a bit scary, and there seemed to be lightning flashing in the distance.
"Boom."
A burst of thunder echoed throughout the sky.
"Silk" I made this sound unconsciously, and my whole body trembled.
The eighth master and the fourth master noticed my trembling.
"Are you okay?"
the eighth master said before the fourth master.
I shook my head, "It's okay."
We continued to stand, and the sound from behind continued to rumble.
I could only hold back and close my eyes hard when I heard the thunder.
The Fourth Master and the Eighth Master looked at me at the same time.
Seeing that I seemed a little scared, they both felt pity for me.
The Fourth Master didn't care about being in public and directly held my hand.
I glanced at the Fourth Master and saw that the Fourth Master just smiled indifferently, so I held the Fourth Master's hand with confidence.
When Ba Ye saw this scene, he just smiled.
In the palace, this seemed to be a very impossible thing.
However, the two of us did something that ordinary people would not do.
It will inevitably make people a little surprised. .
The door creaked open, and Eunuch Li walked out, hunched his back slightly and said, "Your Majesty, please come in, Princess Shu Qiao."

"Eunuch Li, has Emperor Ama summoned us?"
Mr.
Ba stepped forward and asked.
Eunuch Li said with some embarrassment: "Eighth Master, Fourth Master, the emperor asked you to go back first and only let Princess Shu Qiao in."
I know they are worried that I will say the wrong thing, and it will not be a joke if I anger the emperor.
I turned to Fourth Master and said, "Don't worry."
I glanced at Mr.
Ba, nodded to reassure him, and then followed Eunuch Li in.
After I entered, I saw the emperor reviewing the memorial at his desk.
He looked serious, and to be honest, I was still a little scared.
The Emperor is rarely so serious about me.
I walked forward and Eunuch Li was standing next to the emperor.
I saluted: "See you before the emperor."
"No courtesy."
Although the emperor said this, he still held the memorial in his hand and looked at it.
Me: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
I stood up straight: "Your Majesty," I wanted to talk about Master Jiu.
"Do you know why I only called you in?"
The emperor interrupted me.
I answered: "Shu Qiao doesn't know."
The emperor put down the memorial and began to stare at me.
The emperor was coming towards me with an imposing manner.
I was out of breath and wanted to take a deep breath, but I didn't dare to move too much.
"Lao Ba and Lao Si are here to intercede for Lao Jiu.
I can understand why you are so anxious to defend Lao Jiu."
The emperor asked.
I said calmly: "Your Majesty, Brother Ninth Brother and I can be considered friends who have never known each other.
Moreover, I can testify to what Brother Ninth Brother has experienced in Ningyuan Town this time.
I am also responsible for this storm."
The reason is that Brother Ninth's matter is of great importance.
I'm afraid that the Emperor will listen to one-sided words and do something inappropriate, and then I will become a sinner."
I said a lot of words in one breath.
I didn't know whether it was right or not, and whether any of the words I said were abnormal or offended the emperor.
However, I was just seeking truth from facts.
"Do you think I am a foolish king?"
The emperor suddenly became serious.
I suddenly trembled and knelt down immediately: "Your Majesty, Shu Qiao didn't mean this."
I was trying to figure out how to explain, but I stuttered nervously.
"Okay, get up."
The emperor suddenly showed mercy again.
I stood up slowly, not knowing how to continue.
"Tell me the ins and outs of the account book."
The emperor stared at me.
I said "yes" and began to nervously tell me what Master Jiu and I had experienced.
One sentence here and another here and there, I was able to explain my ideas simply and clearly.

I looked at the emperor in bewilderment.
The emperor took a sip of tea, put down the cup and said, "I will listen to you just because you are not from the royal family.
It is inevitable that the eighth and fourth will not favor the ninth, so I will Order people to find evidence, which can not only prove Lao Jiu's innocence, but also serve as a warning to the ministers. " Since the emperor did not really want to attack Ninth Brother, I was naturally relieved: "Your Majesty, there are three imprisoned women at the moment.
They are witnesses, but they are still on the way and should arrive tomorrow."
"Okay, after they arrive, I will personally preside over the matter."
The emperor said seriously.
What is the emperor trying to do?
Why is there such a big fuss?
I didn't understand, but I didn't dare to stare at the emperor like that.
The emperor ordered me to stand down.
I walked out of the door and let out a long breath.
I saw the eighth master and the fourth master still standing in front, and it was already raining heavily in front.
I walked over: "Fourth Master, Eighth Master, why are you still here?"
"We don't trust you, so we'll just wait here."
Fourth Master.
"How about we go see our fourteenth brother."
Mr.
Ba said, looking at us with a smile.
"That's fine," Fourth Master agreed readily.
The servants gave us three umbrellas, and the three of us each held one and left.
When I came to the Fourteenth Master's palace, I saw the Fourteenth Master lying on the bed, sulking alone.
Seeing us coming in, Master Fourteen hurriedly asked: "Brother Four, Brother Eight, and Brother Ninth, are you okay?"
"Don't worry, Huang Ama just wanted to show off to us and the ministers, so he took advantage of Ninth Brother."
Mr.
Ba sat down and said.
The Fourth Master and I also sat down, but the Fourteenth Master was still very angry: "Huang Ama is making too much of a fuss.
I only asked for a few words, and someone beat me twenty times."
"Fortunately, the emperor just wanted to warn everyone, otherwise there would be more than twenty people."
I thought I was comforting the Fourteenth Master who felt aggrieved, but unexpectedly, it angered the Fourteenth Master: "You woman have a lot of witnesses.
Did you bring it?
There can be no mistakes, Brother Ninth did this for you."
I knew that I owed Master Jiu another favor, so I was naturally a little sad: "Don't worry, the witness is on the way and will arrive tomorrow."
"Fourteenth Brother, Shu Qiao has worked very hard for Ninth Brother's affairs.
Don't blame Shu Qiao."
Fourth Master said distressedly.
"I know, Fourth Brother, you, like Ninth Brother, always favor her."
The Fourteenth Master said with some jealousy.
"Pfft."
I couldn't help laughing.
"Why are you laughing?"
Master Fourteen asked with some confusion.
I completely ignored Master Fourteen's attitude towards me just now, and just said in a funny voice: "It's nothing, it's just, Master Fourteen, don't you think you were jealous just now?"
"How can I not, ah."
Master Fourteen was so excited that he wanted to start an argument with me, but he forgot about the injury on his buttocks and made us all laugh to death.
The next day, I heard that four or five important officials of the imperial court had come to the court, including many officials who were in charge of investigating the matter.

The rest were the brothers, except for the eldest brother who was under house arrest and the second brother who had not been restored to power yet.
All the brothers ranked from the third to the fourteenth brother arrived, and the court was very lively.
It was said to be lively, but in fact it was a "solemn" meeting held by the emperor for himself.
Master Jiu was brought to the court, but he was still guilty.
He also knelt down and bowed in obeisance: "My son, please see the emperor."
"Pingshen."
Your Majesty.
"Thank you, Emperor Ama."
Master Jiu stood up without looking around.
"Old Jiu, today is to find out the account book incident that was submitted a few days ago.
The public trial is also to better clear your name."
The emperor said seriously.
"My son, I understand."
Master Jiu said calmly.
"Xuan Zhao Yuqing, Cen Mo, Fang Ru."
I heard a father-in-law shouting inside.
I stood in front of the gate, not daring to get close.
Although this matter will be over soon, as long as no conclusion is reached, I will still There are some vague worries.
When I saw them walking in, I pounded my fists and walked back and forth.
Lord Li stepped forward and asked, "Can you three recognize the person in front of you?"
The three women looked at Master Jiu and shook their heads together.
"Huang Ama, this incident is enough to prove that the ninth brother is not the mastermind of this matter."
The eighth master stood up and said.
"Huang Ama, Ninth Brother was investigating this incident at the time.
We have many witnesses.
If necessary, I can call them over."
The Fourteenth Master also couldn't wait to stand up and speak for Ninth Brother.
"No need, since the truth of the matter has been revealed, there is no need to continue calling witnesses, Lao Jiu."
When the emperor was about to lift Master Jiu's detention order, Cen Mo suddenly said: "Wait a minute, when someone came over before, he always Wearing a mask, we can't see his true face, but they look similar."
As soon as these words were spoken, the court fell into a deadlock again, and the emperor kept thinking about what to do.
No one dared to breathe loudly because they didn't know whether what was originally just a warning move would change Master Jiu's fate because of these words.
Regardless of the image, I sat on the steps, a little worried.
I saw people coming out of the door one after another.
I ran over quickly and saw Master Jiu coming out, but why was he still tied up?
Master Jiu just glanced at me and smiled at me.
Seeing him being taken away immediately, I ran over and followed the fourth master who took a few steps away.
As I walked, I asked: "Fourth master, was there an accident just now?"
"It's not convenient to talk here.
Let's move to another place."
Fourth Master walked over.
I looked at Master Thirteen, and from his eyes, I knew something must have happened.
The Eighth Master, the Fourteenth Master, and the Tenth Master all came to the clan mansion and wanted to ask how this matter could be rectified.
The eighth master made a suggestion: "Ninth brother, just think about it, who has seen his true face."
Master Jiu hesitated for a moment: "There is a person, but I don't know where he is from.
I only know that he is a hero."

"Okay, you draw his portrait, and we'll go look for it immediately."
Mr.
Ba.
"Yeah."
Master Jiu nodded.
"Brother Ninth, has Shu Qiao seen that person?"
Master Fourteen asked.
"Don't bother her, I don't want her to worry."
Master Jiu said seriously.
"But it's all because of her that you are in such a bad situation now.
You should let her help."
The Fourteenth Master couldn't stand that the Jiu Master was so partial to Shu Qiao, so he said it outspokenly.
"Fourteenth Brother, you know what I said will not change."
Master Jiu said to the Fourteenth Master seriously.
The Fourteenth Master was naturally a little unhappy.
Suddenly, there was such a woman, and his Ninth Brother blamed him.
"Okay."
Master Ba didn't want the two of them to continue fighting among themselves.
"Brother Ninth, as long as we don't go to Shu Qiao, you should draw the portrait first."
"Yes."
Master Jiu obeyed obediently and finally became quiet.
After I heard this, I felt bad all over.
I slapped the table and said, "It really doesn't work.
I am also a witness.
The emperor should need me to testify now."
"No, if you testify, the matter between you and your ninth brother will definitely arouse the suspicion of the court ministers, and your reputation will be damaged."
Fourth Master stopped me from walking.
"Reputations are for those who care.
As long as you believe in me, I don't care about other people."
I really feel that human life is more important than my reputation.
What's more, Master Jiu is in trouble now because of me.
If I still care about myself now Reputation is not a selfish person.
"I think in the past two months, Ninth Brother has already found a place in your heart."
Fourth Master suddenly said this in frustration, which actually made me feel a little distressed.
I didn't know what I should do at this moment.
Watching the fourth master leave, I wanted to keep him, but I felt that it was not the right time for the fourth master to be jealous, which actually put me in a dilemma.
Thirteenth Master came over and said comfortingly: "Shu Qiao, don't blame Fourth Brother.
If you help Ninth Brother regardless of your own reputation, Fourth Brother will inevitably think too much."
"Thirteenth Master, do you also think that I should avoid Ninth Master?"
I was a little sad, and I didn't know why my actions made Fourth Master angry.
"No, it's just that besides this method, there should be other methods."
Thirteenth Master.
"Other methods" I was hoping that Master Thirteen could give me some hints.
"Think about it, has anyone seen the true face of Bao Xing doing this?"
Master Thirteen guided me step by step.

I thought for a moment and suddenly thought of someone: "Thank you, Master Thirteen, I'll go find Master Eight for help."
As soon as I was happy, I left immediately and left Master Thirteen directly in the house.
When I arrived at Ba Ye's Mansion, I saw many people running out.
They were still holding a portrait in their hands, but they were rolled up and couldn't see clearly.
I walked in and saw the Eighth Master, the Tenth Master, and the Fourteenth Master all over there.
I walked over and saluted: "Eighth Master, Tenth Master, Fourteenth Master."
They looked at me, and Master Ba paused: "Shu Qiao, why are you here?"
"Eighth Master, I think of a person.
He can definitely prove Jiuye's innocence."
I hurriedly told myself the method I thought of, thinking that Eighth Master and the others would listen to me very seriously, but I didn't expect that Eighth Master said lightly. : "Shu Qiao, please don't interfere with Ninth Brother's matter.
We will solve it."
"Mr.
Ba, do you think I am someone who just stands by and watches?"
I stared at Mr.
Ba seriously, wanting to tell him that I was also someone he could trust.
"You'd better go back quickly, lest Ninth Brother finds out and blames us."
The Fourteenth Master looked at me disdainfully.
I always knew that the Fourteenth Master liked to talk like this, and I was already used to his way of speaking.
Seeing that I was a little embarrassed, Mr.
Ba said gently: "Go back first."
Seeing that I was still entangled, Master Shi hurriedly pulled me away: "Shu Qiao, you'd better go back first.
Only a few of us can handle Brother Ninth's affairs."
I followed his pace and walked a few steps, then stopped: "Is it Master Jiu who doesn't want me to get involved in this matter?"
Master Shi hesitated for a while and had no choice but to nod.
Of course I know how to do it, and if I follow them, they won't tell me the process.
I saluted, turned around and left immediately
