The next day, it was light and Shangguan Wanning came to the palace gate with Zheng Binghong's secret help.
She rushed forward in the hazy fog, and the guards guarding the drums of grievances discovered her immediately.
"Who?"
"Shangguan Wanning."
Shangguan Wanning strode forward and bowed to the two guards. "My Shangguan family has suffered an unjust injustice. I want to see the emperor, please help me."
The two guards looked at each other and put away their steel knives.
"So it's Princess Anning. Since you have arrived here, no matter what your identity or status, you have the right to ring the drum of injustice. But... the princess should know the rules."
Shangguan Wan calmed down and stopped her chest and said, "I know."
"Then please prepare for the princess."
The two guards put down their steel knives, picked up the murderous battle beside the drum of injustice, and approached Shangguan Wanning step by step.
Shangguan Wanning grew up holding it in her palm since she was young. Apart from the days when she was arrested by human traffickers, she actually never suffered any hardships, especially the flesh and blood.
She looked at the guards' hands and felt a little worried.
But thinking of his parents who were suffering in prison, Shangguan Wanning took a deep breath and stood firmly.
"You guys do it."
The two guards looked at each other, and one of them raised the sword high and beat Shangguan Wanning on the back.
However, when he raised his hand, he suddenly felt that he could not use force. He hit Shangguan Wanning with a stick, and there was no force left.
Seeing this, another guard thought he was merciful and showed a dissatisfaction.
The task of guarding the injustice is extraordinary. If you abuse your power in this link, the emperor will punish you if you investigate it.
In order to try his best to remedy, he also raised the prison war and fought against Shangguan Wanning.
However, he couldn't use his strength.
Shangguan Wanning closed her eyes in fear, but did not wait for the expected pain.
In a vague sense, the sound of horse hooves came from the ears, and it gradually approached from afar...
There are not many people who can ride horses to the palace gate, just like the court.
Shangguan Wanning looked forward and a figure gradually emerged.
He rode on a brown horse, his delicate armor was majestic, dark and burly, and his face seemed to be covered with a murderous aura.
"Meet Lord Ling, please refer to Mr. Ling."
The two guards hurriedly knelt down and worshiped.
Lord Ling?
Shangguan Wanning's heart skipped a beat, and an official position appeared in her mind.
Southeast Jiedushi?
Ling Ruiying's gaze was frozen on Shangguan Wanning's body. He looked at it carefully, and a strange arc appeared on the corner of his curled mouth.
"For many years, no one has ever beaten the vengeful drums outside the Golden Palace, and they are still a girl. I didn't expect that I could see such a prosperous era as soon as I came back."
An ominous premonition surged in Shangguan Wanning's heart.
"But I just saw your two sticks hitting them, and it seemed that there was no strength."
Ling Ruiying changed his tone, looked at the two guards, and snorted coldly. "Is there something else?"
The two guards were so scared that their faces were bloodless and knelt on the ground and did not dare to get up.
"Master Ling clearly observed that the two of us were just unwell, so..."
"Forget it, no wonder you. No one has ever complained about the emperor for decades. It's because you are not lucky, but you need to be executed when you are unwell."
Ling Ruiying turned over and got off the horse's back and threw the rope to the accompanying servant.
"Girl, although you are a woman, the national law cannot be violated. Since they are powerless, let me do it for you. What do you think?"
Shangguan Wanning's heart instantly fell to the bottom.
According to Mu Jingrui's original estimate, Ling Ruiying would not be able to return to the capital as soon as tomorrow, but he was already standing in front of her.
Obviously, he chose to move forward lightly, even day and night.
"Mr. Ling is a chief official. Why do you have to do this kind of trivial matter yourself?"
Ling Ruiying had already seen Shangguan Wanning's worries and laughed to the sky.
Shangguan Wanning felt an unprecedented sense of oppression on this person, just as... she could smell the bloody and murderous aura when she came down from the battlefield.
"You are right. If I were asked to do it, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on." Ling Ruixue clapped her hands after saying that.
"Mr. Ling, what are your instructions?"
Ling Ruiying's personal guard immediately stepped forward, and looked at Shangguan Wanning from the corner of his eyes, as if he was provoking.
"Thank you for a while and complete the task for these two guys." Ling Ruiying said lightly, "After all, they are girls, don't do it too hard. If you kill them, it will be bad."
"yes."
After receiving the order, the guard immediately picked up the stick on the ground and hit Shangguan Wanning's back.
A palm wind blew, and the guard was shaken away and fell heavily to the ground.
Everyone felt a flash in front of their eyes, and a figure above their heads flew past, blocking Shangguan Wanning.
Mu Jingrui said he was sick today and did not go to court, and he kept secretly following Shangguan Wanning to protect Shangguan Wanning.
"It is rare to have such internal strength at a young age! It is rare!"
Ling Ruiying seemed not surprised at all. He and Mu Jingrui's eyes met and smiled meaningfully.
"Jing Rui..." Shangguan Wanning didn't want Mu Jingrui to have a conflict with Ling Ruiying under this situation, and whispered, "Don't worry, let..."
"Do you want to die?" Mu Jingrui growled.
Ling Ruiying's subordinates will never show mercy to Shangguan Wanning's subordinates.
At the thirty-year-old battle, Shangguan Wanning was also crippled even if she was not beaten to death.
"Princess Anning, do you still sue this imperial lawsuit?"
Ling Ruiying had already recognized Shangguan Wanning, and was obviously prepared.
"Let's go." Mu Jingrui took Shangguan Wanning's hand and prepared to leave, comforted softly, "Let's find another way."
"Slow down."
Ling Ruiying stopped the two of them and looked at them with a smile.
"If I remember correctly, Shangguan Wanning is now a wanted criminal in the court. If she no longer continues to sue the emperor, she should be taken to prison and wait for promotion."
Ling Ruiying coldly faced Mu Jingrui's eyes, and the invisible smoke gradually spread.
"Mr. Mu, are you sending her to Jingzhao Mansion or to the Ministry of Justice?"
Shangguan Wanning frowned.
Ling Ruiying is away all year round, but she can recognize Mu Jingrui at a glance.
It seems that the Ling family has worked hard in the court.
But in her memory in her previous life, the Ling family did not directly participate in the battle between Xiao Zhenting and Xiao Yujue for the throne.
"If Lord Mu feels embarrassed, let me do it for you."
"You are not qualified." Mu Jingrui protected Shangguan Wanning and looked at Ling Ruiying with sharp eyes.
Ling Ruiying's face darkened, and murderous aura slowly emerged.
