Chapter 92 Please Your Majesty

"Escort? Humph." Duke Bai's eyes were filled with cruelty, and he said, "What an arrogant girl! Even if I was confused for a moment and had some misunderstanding, shouldn't I be sent to the Duke's Mansion first before making a judgment?"

Sheng Yunqing raised the corners of his lips with a fake smile and said, "I don't think there is any misunderstanding."

Duke Bai clenched his fists and said, "The little girl is young and naive. Don't be so impulsive. We can negotiate any conditions you want."

Sheng Yunqing looked at Lord Bai and said, "I want my own and my younger sister's reputation to be good."

"You are being hypocritical." Duke Bai narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Hasn't it been accomplished yet? The matter hasn't spread either. If you are worried about rumors spreading, I will order all those who know about it to be killed!"

Sheng Yunqing raised his beautiful eyebrows and said, "Does the insider include you?"

"Bang!" Duke Bai slapped the armrest with his palm and glared at her, "How dare you!"

Sheng Yunqing stood up, looked at the sky outside the door which was gradually getting brighter, and said, "The rain has stopped. Come, take Bai Qianci to the Dali Temple immediately."

"Yes."

The guard at the door received the order and was about to report it when a roar came from the hall: "Let's see who dares!"

Duke Bai raised his hand and gestured to the guard behind him. The guard raised his hand to his lips and blew a loud whistle. Immediately, a guard rushed in and reported to Sheng Yunqing anxiously: "Miss, it's not good. The Marquis' Mansion has been surrounded. From the clothes I can see, they are from the Duke's Mansion!"

Sheng Yunqing frowned slightly and said, "My Lord, what do you mean?"

"Today I am going to take Qian Ci away. Let's see if you can stop me."

Sheng Yunqing sneered and said, "Lord Duke, do you think that even the Marquis' Mansion dares to act like a spoiled child when the Marquis is not around? The Sheng family has served the country loyally for generations, and the whole family is loyal and brave. The young master of the Duke's Mansion attempted to humiliate the young lady of the Sheng family. The Duke of the State is protecting his own shortcomings and openly provoking the Sheng family. Once this matter gets out, aren't you afraid of being criticized by the world and punished by the Emperor?"

If Bai Qianci was taken back today, it would not be so easy to take him to the Dali Temple for trial.

Duke Bai said coldly, "I am an important official of the court, and you are just a little girl who knows nothing about the world. Who do you think the emperor is willing to trust?"

"The Duke wanted to bully Yun Qing like this, and Yun Qing had expected it, so last night, Yun Qing had already written a letter to the Queen Mother. The Duke could stop him temporarily, but he couldn't stop him forever."

"You bastard!" Duke Bai stood up angrily and raised his hand to slap her. The two guards of the Marquis' Mansion immediately stepped forward to protect her behind them and said, "Lord Duke, please don't be rude to our young lady."

"Who dares to be rude to our young lady?" An old voice came from behind the hall. The maid lifted the curtain and Old Madam Sheng walked slowly towards us with a gloomy face, leaning on a cane.

When Duke Bai saw her, he had to bow respectfully and said, "Madam Sheng."

"Aunt, why did you come out?" Sheng Yunqing walked to her side, supported her, and sat her on the chair.

Madam Sheng sighed, looked at her and said, "If I don't come out, do you want to see our girl being wronged by others?" She looked up at Lord Bai and said, "Lord Bai, I have heard the whole story from the housekeeper. Your son bullied our girl first. The evidence is solid and there is no way to argue!"

She took out the waist badge bestowed by the late emperor from her sleeve and said, "This is the one bestowed by the late emperor on the Sheng family. Seeing the waist badge is like seeing the late emperor."

Hearing this, everyone knelt down.

"I order you to release him immediately! Escort Bai Qianci to the Dali Temple. Do not block his way, or you will commit an even greater crime!"

Duke Bai gritted his teeth and held his breath and replied, "Yes."

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand, and the guards outside the house received the order and dispersed the crowd. Inside the palace, the eunuch walked quickly to the front of the hall and said in a panic: "Your Majesty, the young master of the Duke's Mansion has been taken to the Dali Temple by Miss Sheng."

Ye Jinfeng, who was playing with the bird, frowned, turned around and said, "What? How dare Sheng Yunqing do this?"

"I heard that Madam Sheng even took out the imperial badge to force Duke Bai to release the man."

"what happened?"

The father-in-law walked to Ye Jinfeng and spoke softly in his ear.

Ye Jinchen lowered his eyes, his eyebrows unconsciously knitted, and said: "Go to the Dali Temple and tell them to take care of that kid. Just interrogate him for a few minutes, and let him out after Sheng Yunqing calms down in a few days."

The eunuch nodded in understanding and said, "I understand."

Zhenbeihou Mansion.

Bai Qianci was escorted out of the mansion. Duke Bai gritted his teeth and stared at Sheng Yunqing. His voice was low and full of cruelty: "Sheng Yunqing, you wait for me. I will not let you off in this matter!"

After he finished speaking, he angrily threw away his sleeves and left quickly.

Sheng Yunqing still bowed politely and said, "Goodbye, Duke."

"Miss." Dong Ning rushed in anxiously from outside the house. After seeing Duke Bai's people leave, she spoke: "The Queen Mother went to the temple to pray for blessings and is not in the palace. I am afraid she can't do justice for the young ladies..."

Madam Sheng frowned and asked worriedly, "Does Duke Bai know about this?"

Dong Ning shook her head and said, "Last night, I sent a letter to the maid in the Queen Mother's Palace. The maid just told me secretly that she would not be back for another five days. People outside the palace should not know yet."

Sheng Yunqing pursed her lips, not knowing whether the emperor would handle the case impartially. She slowly relaxed her mouth, sighed softly, and said, "Don't make it public for now. It would be better if we can drag it to the Dali Temple and execute him directly."

Three days later, the rainy season returned and the rain gradually stopped in the afternoon. Sheng Yunqing sat in the room checking the account book.

Su Lan pushed the door open and walked in, frowning and saying to Sheng Yunqing: "Sister Fairy, it's bad. I'm afraid the Dali Temple has been bribed by the Duke's Mansion and will no longer investigate Bai Qianci. He will be released soon."

"What?" Sheng Yunqing clenched his fists, stood up and said, "Get an umbrella ready, I want to see the emperor."

"Yes."

After a moment, Sheng Yunqing got off the carriage, stepped on the wet ground, and walked into the palace with an expressionless face.

In front of the palace door, she held her hands up, maintaining the demeanor of a lady from a noble family. Even when she knelt, her slender back stood straight. She raised her voice to the inside of the house and said, "Your Majesty, I have been wronged. Please judge for me!"

"Your Majesty, the Third Young Master Bai intentionally framed the daughter of the Zhenbei Marquis family. The Dali Temple officials have protected and favored her. I am wronged. Your Majesty, please understand!"

Ye Jinfeng sat on the dragon chair in the room, raised his hand to rub his brows, closed his eyes and sighed softly, and said: "Who is making a noise outside the palace?"

The eunuch leaned forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's Miss Sheng. She seems to be talking about the Third Young Master Bai."

Hearing this, Ye Jinfeng snorted coldly and said, "I expected her to come and make trouble. Tell her that I am resting and will not see her."
