Chapter 241 Petition
"Click!" Yu Jiuer's heart sank.
It's terrible! He's addicted to cursing and can't stop!
How can I get around this?
At this tense moment, Jun Mo, who was next to Yu Jiuer, also knelt down with a plop.
Yu Jiuer glanced at his knees and thought to herself: Fortunately, he was also wearing a "knee pad".
Jun Mo's anxious voice rang in her ears: "Father, calm down! Jiu'er didn't mean it. She received the bad news of Yu Wushuang falling off the cliff early in the morning, and was worried about the people. She was already in a heavy mood, and was provoked by the ministers. She was anxious and said something rude. Please forgive her for her sincerity to the people!"
"Pull it down for me!"
The emperor roared in a way that did not allow for argument, and waved his hand angrily to signal the imperial guards to move faster. His face turned red with anger, and he did not want to see this scourge again for a moment.
At the same time, she regretted not having driven her out of the Golden Palace earlier. She cursed Dadong Dynasty in front of the ministers. Did she treat him as a decoration?
Yu Jiuer wanted to open her mouth to defend herself, but Jun Mo gave her a look, signaling her to stop talking.
She had no choice but to shut her mouth in grievance and be taken away obediently.
Thanks to Jun Mo, she, a country girl from the mountains, had the honor of entering the prison that was "exclusively" reserved for royal relatives - the Zongrenfu Prison.
The prison in the clan prison was actually not as bad as she had imagined. At least every cell had a bed and clean bedding.
The cells where women are held are also guarded by female guards, who pay great attention to the privacy and reputation of the prisoners.
Yu Jiuer waited in the cell until noon the next day, but she never received the emperor's order to release her.
She guessed that the emperor must be very angry with her and couldn't help feeling annoyed.
Why couldn't she say anything else? Why did she have to imply that the Great Dong Dynasty would be doomed if it stuck to the old ways and was not as flexible as other nations?
Isn’t this a big taboo?
Now those who wished her dead must be secretly happy.
Yu Jiuer really wanted to punch herself twice.
Just as he was feeling sorry for himself, he heard a noise coming from the cell.
Yu Jiuer was originally sitting on the ground with her knees hugged, but when she heard someone walking towards her, she jumped up excitedly.
However, when she saw the person coming, she was stunned for a moment.
"Eighth Princess? Why are you in the cell?"
It wasn't Jun Mo, it wasn't the Imperial Guards who released her. Yu Jiuer couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.
"The clan house is in the palace, so I can come!" The Eighth Princess handed in the food box she brought with her. "The food in the cell is not good, so I asked someone to make some delicious food for you."
"Thank you, Eighth Princess! I wonder what the situation is outside now? Has the emperor calmed down?" How could Yu Jiuer have time to eat?
She was worried that the emperor would execute the Yinshan Contract in a fit of rage and reduce the people of Yinshan to slavery.
Then there's nothing she can do to save the situation!
Jun Mo had warned her before that the emperor was easily angered, and asked her to be careful when speaking to him and not to make him angry.
How could she have forgotten this?
The Eighth Princess covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "I always thought you were very smart, but I didn't expect that you would fail sometimes? You can even curse yourself into jail by cursing others?"
Yu Jiuer pouted and said, "Laugh if you want! I admit that I get so angry when I meet those shameless ministers that I can't stop talking! I don't know what the emperor will say."
"Don't worry! From yesterday morning court until noon today, Fourth Brother has been kneeling in front of the door of Father's bedroom to plead for mercy. Father also withstood the pressure from many ministers at the morning court today and did not make a verdict, which means there is still room for improvement!"
"What? Has your fourth brother been kneeling for a whole day and a whole night? Is he still kneeling now?" Yu Jiuer clutched the threshold of the cell with such heartache that she became more and more annoyed by her impulsiveness.
The Eighth Princess patted her hands and comforted her: "Before I came, Fourth Brother had already been called to Shoukang Palace by the Imperial Grandmother. He is now with the Imperial Grandmother. Don't worry!"
"That's good!" Yu Jiuer breathed a sigh of relief. "With the Queen Mother's help, we won't have to fight alone!"
She would rather die than let Jun Mo suffer for her.
The Eighth Princess nodded and said, "It is indeed all thanks to the Imperial Grandmother! She and I went to intercept the Emperor this morning before he went to court.
She told her father that her grandson would be worried if he couldn't wait for his parents to come home, so she asked him to spare her for her grandson's sake.
"I am so guilty of causing you and the Queen Mother to plead for me! Thank you!"
The Eighth Princess shook her head: "We are so familiar with each other, what are you thanking me for?"
Yu Jiuer asked hurriedly: "What did the emperor say?"
The Eighth Princess jokingly imitated the Emperor's tone and said, "'Let her stay in jail for a few more days and reflect on herself! Are you going to let her out now to cause trouble for the people? I'm so easy to talk to, won't she be able to go to heaven in the future?' These are my father's exact words!"
Yu Jiuer knew that the Eighth Princess spoke in a light-hearted and funny manner on purpose to comfort her nervous and frightened heart.
But she was not afraid of death, she was just afraid that the emperor would punish the people of Yinshan.
"The emperor..." Yu Jiuer lowered her eyelids, bit her lip and asked nervously, "Did he reveal how he would deal with the people of Yinshan County?"
The Eighth Princess shook her head, and then said to her with pride: "You accidentally got yourself into prison, but your bold words in the Golden Palace yesterday shocked the court and the public!
Your remarks are not only well-known in the palace, I heard that they are also widely spread outside the palace! After your wonderful remarks in the Imperial Study last time, Sister Yu, you are famous again! I am proud of you! "
Yu Jiuer raised her eyebrows and asked in confusion: "Really?"
As expected, if you lean on a big tree, you will become famous quickly! In modern times, these Douyin fans might be able to send her some gifts to increase her traffic, but what is the use of fans in ancient times?
The Eighth Princess looked at Yu Jiuer with admiration and said excitedly: "Your passionate speech on gender equality has spread all over the streets and alleys and has become a topic of conversation among people. They all sigh and admire you.
I think everyone in the capital is shocked by your novel and unique idea.
Your words touch the hearts of every woman with lofty ambitions, and they all admire you!
Even the Empress Dowager was so shocked by everyone's discussion that she praised you repeatedly!"
The Eighth Princess patted her chest and said firmly: "I, Jun Min'er, will not obey anyone but you now!"
Yu Jiuer sneered softly and said in frustration: "What is there to admire? It has not been realized. If the emperor can really agree to allow women to take the imperial examination, it will be a blessing for women all over the world. I will be respected by them and I will deserve it!"
"Don't be discouraged! Don't you know how many eyes are watching you? I just passed by the Imperial Garden and happened to run into the Empress. From her words, I heard that even she secretly admires you."
The admiration in the Eighth Princess' eyes was almost overflowing.
Yu Jiuer suddenly had an idea to save herself.
She asked the Eighth Princess, "Since there are so many people out there who admire me, if tens of thousands of women sign their names and beg the Emperor to open a special examination for women, I wonder if the Emperor will agree?"
The Eighth Princess' eyes lit up, and she was so impressed by Yu Jiuer that she nodded repeatedly and said, "What a good idea! How come your head is full of endless wonderful ideas?
It is said that in the past, women in our Great Dong Dynasty could not divorce and could only be divorced. Later, tens of thousands of women signed a petition and the late emperor finally made a rule that women could divorce. I don’t remember which year it was, but perhaps we can learn from them and give it a try! "
Yu Jiuer said wisely: "The historical records show that it should be the marriage reform law fifty years ago. That was the first time that women in the Great Dong Dynasty denounced men for their own interests! Today, fifty years later, let's carry out another movement for women's interests!"
"What are we going to do?"
The eighth princess felt her blood boiling.
Even though she would be leaving the Great Dong Dynasty to marry into the Miao Border in two years, if she could still contribute a little to the women of the Great Dong Dynasty and do something unorthodox and great before leaving, she would have no regrets in her life!
Yu Jiuer thought for a moment and said, "No hurry, I'll think about it and write a petition. And I have to discuss this matter with your fourth brother!"
"My grandmother was afraid that he would come to the prison and see you being wronged, and would do something outrageous, so she temporarily detained him in Shoukang Palace to teach him. He will definitely come to see you later."
As soon as the Eighth Princess finished speaking, hurried footsteps were heard in the cell. Yu Jiuer looked up and saw a familiar figure with an upright posture walking towards her.
Even though he had been kneeling all night last night, he was still as handsome and charming as ever, and the eyes that made her heart beat faster were as affectionate and gentle as ever.
"Isn't it coming?" The Eighth Princess smiled and comforted Yu Jiuer, "You two are a loving couple, what is there to be afraid of? Sister Yu, you will be fine!"
"Thank you! With your concern, I will definitely not let anything happen to myself!" Yu Jiuer looked into Jun Mo's eyes without blinking.
The Eighth Princess stood up wisely: "You guys chat, I should leave now!"
Jun Mo came over and gave a look, signaling the female jailer to come over and open the cell door.
The female jailer didn't know whether she was shocked by the chill around Jun Mo or frightened by his murderous eyes, she walked forward tremblingly and opened the door of the cell.
