Chapter 315
The loud beating of the drums rang out one after another, like continuous muffled thunder blasting in the sky, and this also reached the ears of Li Qin Wang Fei who was in the royal carriage.
Li Qin Wang Fei’s complexion was as white as paper.
Several voices in the crowd from the right side of Chang’an gate could be heard shouting excitedly after hearing the beating drum. “Dengwen drum, someone is beating the dengwen drum to call the emperor!”
Surrounded by a commotion, those people scrambled and excitedly announce to other passersby the event that was about to happen, and more and more people came to hear the sound rushing towards the direction of Chang’an gate.
Amidst the clamor around her, Madam Xiao continued beating the drum with the drumstick and shouted loudly as she strung, “This wife is suing Duan Wangye’s son for murdering his mother consort, and I ask for a divorce with Duan Wangye!”
Through the ear-shattering drumbeats, Madam Xiao’s voice carried a strange penetrating force, resounding and powerful, that spreads far and wide.
Surrounded by those meddlesome onlookers standing in circle who were watching started chattering.

“It must be. If the person who doesn’t have a mandate sounded the drum, the person would have been struck with 30 sticks by the court guards!”
“Duan’s heir tried to murder his mother consort, this is too heartless!”
“What the heck! Indeed there are so many nobles and noble families who hide their filth!”
“….”
As people talk more and more, the lively atmosphere boiled like a pot of boiling water, causing the surrounding got even more crowded and noisy.
“Dong! Dong! Dong!”
The ear-splitting beating of the drums was still going on one after another.
At this moment, the emperor in the imperial study also heard the drumming sound and put down his memorial as he frowned.
Zhou Xin’s scalp was numb as he said this, after all, this kind of thing was almost unheard of in Daqi’s history.
The emperor’s eyebrows twitched with a look of surprise on his face.
The matter of the monk has been handed over for joint trial and the result should be out this month. Duan Wang Fei was not someone impulsive, after all, she has been waiting for the past two months for this patiently until now.
The emperor pondered for a moment and issued two commands, one was to announce Duan Wang Fei and the other was to ask the Royal Guards to investigate what happened.
After a while, Yuan Minggang, the commander of the Royal Guards, came and gave a brief account of Li Qin Wang Fei’s visit to Xiao’s mansion today and the conflict with Qin Jiu.
Emperor: “….”
The emperor rubbed the center of his brows showing a trace of fatigue on his face: Li Qin Wangye and his wife were really making a fuss.
Now that the matter has developed to this point, it wouldn’t be enough to just say a few words to get this over with. The emperor pondered for a moment before he made up a decision and immediately, stood up, and said, “Call the three divisions responsible for this, this emperor wants to examine this case personally.”
“Yes, Your Majesty.” Zhou Xin made a bow and received the order while sighing inwardly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHalf an hour later, people related to the case gathered at the Jinluan Hall.
The emperor sat on the high Jinluan Hall, Madam Xiao, as the plaintiff, stood in the hall, the minister of justice, the minister of Dali Temple, and the royal historian of Zuo Du stood on one side as representatives of the three divisions, and Qin Jiu stood alone on the other side of the Jinluan Hall.
After Madam Xiao bowed her knee to the emperor, the whole group calmly repeated her intention of why she beat the drum, “Your Majesty, this wangfei is suing Duan Wangye’s heir for trying to murder her mother consort. Please give justice to this wangfei!”
The minister of the Ministry of Justice, the minister of Dali Temple, and the Zuo Du imperial historian all have a subtle expression.
Zhou Xin whispered a few words in the emperor’s ear, the latter looked out the hall with complicated eyes.
“Hold on!”
Duan Wangye arrived panting, along with him were Li Qin Wangye and his wife, and Gu Zezhi.
“Your Majesty, there is some misunderstanding between this wangye and wangfei. Please allow me to explain to wangfei.” Duan Wangye bowed to the emperor before he looked eagerly at Madam Xiao.
The moment he landed his eyes on her, he was momentarily stunned.
Madam Xiao has taken off her black cloak and exposed the purple dress under it, this dress was matched by Qin Jiu from top to bottom. The color was bright and elegant, reflecting her radiance.
Since Madam Xiao moved out of Duan Wang’s mansion on the 15th of the first month, Duan Wang has not seen her for more than two months.
