Chapter 563 Zhang Zhirou grows up and counterattacks Zheng Zihe in the hall
For a moment, everyone's eyes were searching the hall, as if they wanted to find the "Miss Zhang" that Zheng Zihe mentioned.
Baili Rushu frowned, her heart full of doubts.
How is this matter related to Arou again?
Upon hearing this, Emperor Qiwen asked, "Who is Zhang Zhirou?"
Hearing this, Zhang Zhirou stood up, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
Shu He also looked over, with a hint of worry in her eyes. She was afraid that Zhang Zhirou would be stage fright.
However, she seemed to have underestimated her.
The gazes of the crowd did not seem to bring her much pressure or influence. On the contrary, her face was unexpectedly calm and composed, which surprised Shu He.
Under the gaze of everyone, she walked out gracefully and bowed deeply to Emperor Qiwen. "I, Zhang Zhirou, pay my respects to the Emperor!"
Emperor Qiwen looked at the people below and asked her to stand up and answer.
When he saw her appearance, Emperor Qiwen showed a hint of surprise on his face, but more of a puzzlement, "Whose family are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"Your Majesty, I am the younger sister of Zhang Zhiyi, the former commander of the Beisha City garrison."
Zhang Zhirou's voice was bright and clear, enough for everyone to hear every word she said.
Her stunning appearance made her look like a blooming delicate purple-blue rose, stunning yet mysterious.
Emperor Qiwen seemed to remember something. "Oh, Zhang Zhiyi, I remember him. He's in the Cavalry Battalion now, right? He didn't come today?"
Liu Qin, who was standing nearby, heard this and quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, General Zhang's rank is not high enough, so he cannot attend this banquet."
Emperor Qiwen nodded, then asked in confusion, "Since Zhang Zhiyi didn't come, how did you get into the palace?"
"Father, it was your son who brought Arou in!"
As soon as Emperor Qiwen finished speaking, Baili Rushu walked out and stood beside Zhang Zhirou.
"You know her too?" Emperor Qiwen became more and more confused. How could this girl know Zhang Zhiyi's sister?
The Eleventh Princess took Zhang Zhirou's arm and explained with a smile, "Father, you forgot that half a year ago, I went to Beisha City to visit my seventh brother. That's when we met!"
"Father, Ah Rou was also a heroic woman who climbed the city wall and defended Beisha City to the death, defeating the Beidi army!"
At this point, the Eleventh Princess started boasting. She hadn't forgotten what Zhang Zhirou had said before, that she also wanted to be a female general.
"Oh?" Emperor Qiwen's eyes flashed with surprise. "Miss Zhang is also a warrior? She defended Beisha City? Why wasn't this mentioned in the military report?"
Zhang Zhirou nodded and replied, "The Battle of Beisha City was a battle of self-defense between the civilians of Beisha City and the army. Every citizen of Beisha City has contributed, but not everyone is required to report their military achievements, and the same applies to women."
These two simple sentences made Emperor Qiwen's favorability towards her soar.
"Well, not bad, not bad!"
He didn't fight for the credit, but at the same time he asked for credit for the people of Beisha City. Whether it was sincere or deliberate, it would not make people feel disgusted.
From this we can see that Zhang Zhirou is also a delicate and exquisite girl.
Shu He was also very surprised to hear this, and a look of relief appeared in his eyes.
I was worried she might say something wrong, but I didn't expect her to do so well! It seems she has really grown a lot!
Zheng Zihe felt uneasy when he saw the emperor's gentle expression towards Zhang Zhirou.
He stepped forward and brought the topic back to the point, which had almost strayed from the topic. "Your Majesty, this Miss Zhang is the cousin of Liu Ruxin, the physician at the Precious Pharmacy! And she also has a close relationship with Prince Li's wife!"
When Emperor Qiwen heard Zheng Zihe speak again, his expression became serious again.
Zheng Zihe lowered his head, not daring to look at his expression. He just said, "Miss Zhang, can you answer me, what is your relationship with Liu Ruxin from the Precious Medicine Pavilion? And what is your relationship with Shu He, the wife of Prince Li?"
Zhang Zhirou turned around and looked him straight in the face with a calm and composed look. Not only was there no fear, but there was also a hint of coldness in her eyes. "Of course!"
"I would like to take this opportunity to ask the Emperor for justice for my sister!"
Zheng Zihe looked at her confident and tough face, and felt a little uncontrollably uneasy in his heart, and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
Isn’t it said that Zhang Zhirou is simple-minded and is the best breakthrough point?
Why does it seem that it is not as the intelligence said?
"Your Majesty! I wish to sue the Zheng family for wanton murder of innocent people, sexually assaulting a criminal, and disregarding the law!"
Zheng Zihe's face was gloomy. "Miss Zhang, are you crying thief?"
"It's you, the Zheng family, who are the ones crying 'Catch the thief', right?!"
"you……"
Zheng Zihe was filled with anger, but he didn't expect to be interrupted by the emperor.
"Zheng Zihe! Let Miss Zhang finish what she's saying! I don't want to hear your Zheng family's one-sided story!"
The emperor's displeasure left Zheng Zihe with nowhere to vent his anger. He could only clench his fists tightly and look at Zhang Zhirou with a cold face, as if he wanted to warn her not to talk nonsense.
"Your Majesty! I grew up in Yuancheng and have a distant cousin named Liu Ruxin."
"She has been studying medicine since she was young and is gifted, so she has acquired excellent medical skills and has benefited the people in Yuancheng and Rongcheng."
"Half a year ago, my cousin and I came to Kyoto and opened a pharmacy. My cousin made a rule: the pharmacy only charges one cent for medical consultations and treatment for the poor!"
"After half a year, my cousin's medical skills have saved many people and she is deeply loved by the poor people in Kyoto."
"But just half a month ago, the Xia Pharmacy, which was funded by the Zheng family, was jealous of the prosperous business of the Zhenyao Pavilion. So, the third son of the Zheng family brought people to the Zhenyao Pavilion to smash and cause trouble, and even killed one of our pharmacists!"
"Although Alai was just a medicine boy, my cousin always treated him like a brother. The night before he died, he said he wanted to bring his family back to Kyoto to live. My cousin even helped him arrange accommodation for his family..."
When Zhang Zhirou said this, her voice couldn't help but choke with sobs and pain, and one could feel a sense of sadness just by listening to her.
"Alai was brought from my cousin's hometown. Now he's dead in a foreign land. My cousin is heartbroken. Later, I heard that Mr. Zheng San had killed someone before, and with all the witnesses and evidence, he walked out of the prison unharmed!"
"You all should know what's going on without me telling you!"
"My sister was afraid that this would happen again, so she decided to avenge Alai herself!"
"Yes, my sister did kill someone, but she is ready to accept legal punishment!"
"But the second son of the Zheng family was so cruel that he entered the prison and tried to commit a crime against my sister! He was later killed by my sister in self-defense."
"I think he deserves death!"
Zhang Zhirou's emotions burst out with touching emotions as the scenes corresponding to each sentence.
Sadness, resentment, disappointment, hatred, and other rich emotions almost make people feel like they are in the middle of those things and can truly feel the changes in her emotions.
Almost everyone stood on Zhang Zhirou's side, looking at the Zheng family with angry and judgmental eyes.
Pang's eyes were red, and murderous intent was evident in them. "You are talking nonsense!"
Suddenly, she rushed to Zhang Zhirou like crazy and slapped her.
