In the blink of an eye, the originally clear sky was covered with overcast clouds, and layers of black clouds filled the sky blackly, as if the night had come early.

"Boom!"

There were deafening thunderclaps in the sky, and the howling wind rolled up the dust and fallen leaves on the ground, and the wine banners were even made to rattle by the wind.

The people on the street below were startled by this scene, and shouted in panic: "It's thundering."

"Why is there thunder in this winter!"

"How strong is the wind!"

"..."

Noisy shouts followed one after another.

In the private seat, the white-faced and beardless middle-aged man was stunned, and couldn't help but think of a saying: In winter, thunder and snow strike.

The meaning of this sentence is that thunderstorms in winter are the harbingers of blizzards.

As if to test his idea, snowflakes like goose feathers soon floated in the sky, one after another, a vast expanse of whiteness.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the wind rolled snowflakes into the window, splashed on the table, and a few fell into the wine glass.

"This..." Chu You looked at Gu Yunxie in surprise, his eyes widened slightly.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he couldn't believe it. Just because of a word from Xie'er, the day has changed.

Even Gu Yunxie himself was a little surprised, but immediately returned to normal, with a sweet smile, as if thousands of trees and pear blossoms were in full bloom, and the spring was shining.

"My luck has always been very good." Gu Yunxie said confidently, his eyebrows brightened.

From childhood to adulthood, her luck has been very good, and it can be said that all wishes come true.

"Xiao'er!" Chu You grabbed Gu Yunxie's slender wrist with his hands, and pulled her over abruptly, letting her sit on his lap.

Gu Yunxie was taken aback by his sudden action, and let out a low cry.

She wanted to say that there were still people, but when she looked up, she found that the white-faced and beardless middle-aged man had retreated out early on, and even closed the door of the private seat for them thoughtfully.

Chu You put his arms around Gu Yunxie's slender waist, and tightly restrained her, letting her back against his thick chest, the body temperature of the two of them was pressed against each other through the cloth.

"You are really my king's lucky star." Chu You lowered his head, whispered with his thin lips next to Gu Yunxie's ear, and the scorching breath blew on her white jade-like earlobes.

Chu You really thinks so.

Eight years ago, he was in danger in Yangzhou, and it was she who saved him.

She is his lucky star!

He was the only person she saw in her eyes. It was true eight years ago, and it is still true now.

"Hoo--, ho--"

In a short while, the snow outside the window was getting bigger and bigger, and the wind was getting stronger and stronger, as if it was going to uproot the trees on the street.

The hawkers on the street quickly closed their stalls. As for the common people, they either hid in the surrounding shops or hurried home. After a while, passers-by scattered like birds and birds, and a large area of ​​West Chang'an Avenue was empty.

Only the wind and snow kept whistling.

Not only is it snowing on Chang'an West Street, but the entire capital is also snowing. The snowflakes like goose feathers and catkins are so dense that they look like snow curtains.

"It's snowing." The driver shouted.

Gu Yanfei stretched out a hand from the window, letting the icy snowflakes fall on her palm.

"Tsk." Gu Yanfei watched the snowflakes melt into transparent icy water in her palm, and flicked her finger, the water droplets were wiped away.

She was not surprised by this sudden blizzard.

The way of heaven in this small world is so eccentric, always holding Gu Yunxie in his hands as a sweetheart, and she can't help but suffer a little bit of grievance.

This blizzard came neither too early nor too late, and it was not a mere "coincidence" that it was chosen at this time.

Gu Yanfei glanced in the direction of Chengtianmen, hesitated for a moment, and told the driver: "Go back to the Marquis Mansion."

The coachman responded, waved his whip high, turned the direction of the carriage, and drove towards Yuan'an Street where Dingyuan Hou's Mansion was located.

Gu Yanfei leaned lazily in the carriage, yawned, and his almond eyes narrowed sleepily.

She should not go.

The rest is the court's business, how to try the case, how to deal with the criminals, and those intricate relationships between the court and the court, the unpredictable entanglements between people's hearts and interests, just thinking about it gives me a headache.

Gu Yanfei yawned lazily again.

Countless snowflakes kept falling from the gloomy sky, and they were getting bigger and bigger.

In just a short while, a layer of white snow had accumulated on the ground, on the city towers, and on the treetops. Even the heads and bodies of the people were also covered with snow, making them shiver from the cold.

The blizzard came overwhelming, as if it wanted to dye this dirty world into a flawless frosty white.

The common people were desperately waiting for a verdict, but now the snow was too heavy, and the howling wind almost suppressed their voices. Many people became anxious again, for fear that the case would never end.

Especially the scholar Zhang Min, who hugged his daughter tightly, looked at the kneeling Yu Xuan and Shangqing, the heads of the Yu family, with hatred, and at the same time looked expectantly at the emperor sitting on a high-backed chair. .

Naturally, the servants present would not allow the emperor and the eldest prince to suffer from the cold. Someone had already held up a tung oil umbrella to shield the father and son from the snowstorm.

"Cough cough cough..." The Emperor Dragon was weak, even though he was wearing a thick cloak trimmed with fox fur, he could not stop coughing in the cold wind, his face flushed slightly.

Zhao Rang stroked the emperor's back, and wiped the body temperature of the emperor's forehead. He felt a little hot under his hands, and felt uneasy: the emperor had just contracted a cold a few days ago, and it took a long time to recover.

If the trial continues, the emperor's dragon body will definitely catch cold, and the result will be a serious illness, even life-threatening.

Looking around at the pair of burning eyes, Chu Yi, who had been standing quietly for a long time, suddenly moved, and gracefully bowed to the emperor and said, "Father, why don't you let the ministers interrogate you on your behalf?"

When he bowed, his wide snow-white cuffs hung down, fluttering like white butterflies in the cold wind, making him look like a fairy.

"Cough cough..." The emperor lowered his head and coughed twice again. When he looked up at Chu Yi, a slight smile appeared in his cloudy eyes, and he responded without saying a word, "Okay, you come to help me interrogate."

The emperor wished that his son could help him to interrogate him. If possible, he wished to abdicate now and become the Supreme Emperor.

After recovering a bit, the emperor turned to the people who were waiting in the wind and snow, pointed at Chu Yi and said solemnly: "This is my eldest prince, and he will try this case on my behalf, just like my own trial." .”

The emperor's voice was hoarse and low, blown away in the cold wind, and the servant repeated it loudly before reaching the ears of the common people.

The common people agreed one after another and shouted in unison: "His Royal Highness, please call the shots!"

They have all seen with their own eyes that His Royal Highness the handsome eldest prince is extremely considerate to the younger sister of the eldest princess. Just now, during the emperor's personal trial, the eldest prince was also sorting out clues and making suggestions. His thinking was clear, fair and just, which made people feel convincing. .

The emperor loves the people like a son, even though the dragon body is sick, he still cares about ordinary people like them, he is really a rare benevolent emperor!

All the common people looked at the emperor and Chu Yi with reverence on their faces.

Looking at this scene, the emperor was quite relieved, and gave Chu Yi a few more instructions, and then left Chengtianmen surrounded by the servants and the forbidden army.

The burning eyes of the people all turned to Chu Yi, rubbing their hands eagerly and waiting.

No, Chu Yi was not in a hurry to continue the trial. Instead, the sage sent cups of hot ginger tea and tung oil umbrellas.

After drinking hot ginger tea and having tung oil umbrellas to block the snow, all the people present were extremely comfortable, feeling as if they were warmed up from top to bottom, and felt that this eldest prince really loved the people like a son like an emperor.

Amidst the scent of ginger tea, Chu Yi only asked Yu Xuan and Shang Qing, "Do you two have something to say?"

The two of them really had something to say, you fought me to grab the land and then talked a lot, and they went back and forth to shirk responsibility.

In fact, the trial of this case has been going on seven to seven times. No matter how they shirk each other, it is only the difference between the main criminal and the accessory criminal. The evidence of the crimes committed by the two is solid, and no one forced them.

Chu Yi didn't listen to a few words, interrupted them, and directly convicted:

"The two of you murdered the eldest princess and kidnapped innocent children. You did not hesitate to sacrifice two hundred lives for your Yu family's luck, and even intended to blame the emperor. The evidence of your crime is convincing. Complicity is a capital crime."

"Execute after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month!"

"The rest of the Yu clan will be judged by the three divisions before being convicted."

"Jin Yiwei went to Yuzhou to pick up people, and escorted them to the capital for interrogation."

Just the first one above is enough to make the people present happy, their eyes are bright and their faces are full of joy.

"His Royal Highness is wise!"

I don't know who was the first to yell out hoarsely.

Immediately afterwards, the others also shouted: "His Royal Highness, a thousand years ago!"

The countless shouts neatly overlapped into one sound, with an astonishing momentum, it seemed that even the densely packed Blizzard was shaken away by the shouts of unity.

Jing Zhaoyin on the side had been standing for more than an hour, and he frowned when he heard the shouts of Qiantui.

Under the ravages of the blizzard, his face turned pale from the cold and his whole body was cold, but he still maintained the dignity of the aristocratic family, with his back straight and standing like a pine.

After the emperor announced him, he ignored him until he left, without even looking at him, as if he had completely forgotten about him.

It seems that the emperor and the eldest prince dare not touch him anymore.

It's just for the sake of the people's hearts, to announce him as a show.

Jing Zhaoyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the heart that was hanging in the air finally fell to the ground at this moment.

That's right, the emperor has moved the Yu family, which is equivalent to provoking the family on his own initiative, so he will not dare to provoke trouble again and spread the flames of war to other families.

Thinking about the soft temper of the emperor, Jing Zhaoyin sneered secretly in his heart, showing pride, straightened his sleeves casually, and brushed off the snow on the sleeves.

A few strands of cold wind penetrated into his neckline, making him shiver, feeling unhappy.

Today's incident is really absurd. He was announced here for no reason because of a few untouchables.

When he returns, he will definitely impeach the eldest prince to rectify the character of their aristocratic family, and prevent the emperor and his son from gaining ground.
