Chapter 457: Peony
The peonies in Jingren Palace are blooming very well, but the branches are a little messy, obviously because no one has taken care of them this spring. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wei Mingxu still came after all, and the reason for coming was that Mu Huashang said that if he didn't come, she wouldn't move to the cold palace.
Mu Huashang saw Wei Mingxu again, it has been a few months since the last time, Wei Mingxu was refreshed because of Lin Zhixuan's pregnancy, but Mu Huashang looked a lot older, she still held the shelf of her Mu Guifei, sat on the sandalwood carved chair in the main hall, looked at Wei Mingxu who strode in, and smiled sadly: "Since ancient times, men have been so lucky, I always thought that God treated me Mu Huashang well, let me meet a different one, now it seems that I am the saddest and most ridiculous one." β
Wei Mingxu only stood solemnly in the hall and said, "You have taken such a great trouble to see this king, just to say such nonsense? β
Mu Huashang sneered and said, "You can't abolish me, my surname is Mu, I have a father who is the prime minister of the cabinet, and a son who is the king of the county." How the prince protected the queen mother at the beginning, and how my son will protect me now, when the prince wants to move me, he should always weigh the weight.
Besides, that mother-in-law was the nurse chosen by the Queen Mother for the prince, and later the Queen Mother gave the prince to take care of the prince's daily life, what does it have to do with me? She privately sent news and slandered the princess, which was also the prince's housework, and the mother-in-law was caused by nonsense. What's even more ridiculous is that what the mother-in-law spread is really all rumors? Does the prince have any evidence?
Even if I don't say anything, there must be many ministers who have written for me, and it is inevitable that your thousands of noble princesses will be roasted on the fire. β
Wei Mingxu said: "Who said that this king wants to punish you for the crime of instructing people to bewitch the people?
Mu Huasheng's originally mocking expression suddenly became cold, and she stared at Wei Mingxu speechless for a while.
Wei Mingxu looked at Mu Huasheng, who was so panicked and nervous, but pretended to be calm, and said, "It seems that you have done a lot of such things. β
Mu Huasheng's hand trembled a little, and then he sneered: "Wei Mingxu, if the smallpox incident is caused by the incident, will you be able to get out of the way? What is the difference between your plan and mine at the beginning? You should only be on your guard, I have never guarded against you? How did you order people to warm up the plague in Changping and plan to introduce it into the capital, I also keep human and material evidence, if you are not afraid of the fish dying and the net will be broken, I will burn you with jade."
Anyway, now, the Mu family is already in this half-dead appearance, if I do my best to pull you, the regent, off the horse, I won't be a loss!"
Wei Mingxu stared coldly at the cruel and vicious woman, he didn't want to use the smallpox incident as an excuse, this time it was just the assassination instigated by Mu Huashang in the twenty-eighth night of the previous year.
Mu Huasheng's words also made Wei Mingxu calm down somewhat, the hundred-legged insect died but did not stiffen, although there are not many clans with the same surname in the Mu family in the capital, but Mu Taichu has been the first assistant of the cabinet for so many years, and his henchmen and protΓ©gΓ©s are all over the world. The Mu family in the capital and the Jinling royal family are also intertwined, even if they want to kill, they must be killed slowly with a knife when the country and the people are safe, so that they can be killed to death and killed cleanly, otherwise it is inevitable that there will be a resurgence and even a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry.
"In this deep palace, after being grounded, you can still stretch your hand into King Jing's Mansion, it's really powerful. Wei Mingxu finished speaking slowly, and then said coldly, "Come on! All the palace maids and eunuchs in Jingren Palace will be killed with a cane." The king himself will appoint men to serve them. β
The palace maids and eunuchs beside Mu Huashang were flustered for a while, and they knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, but the eunuchs had already come in, and without saying a word, they picked up the palace maids and eunuchs on the ground and left.
Mu Huashang watched Jinchuan, Dequan, and Fugui being pulled away by several henchmen who had followed her for many years, and felt distressed for a while, her hands clenched the sandalwood carved chair, staring at Wei Mingxu hatefully, listening to the wails coming from the courtyard outside the door, she gritted her teeth and didn't ask Wei Mingxu for a word.
Only a few words were squeezed out from between his teeth: "Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, I advise you not to do everything too much." β
Wei Mingxu stared at her indifferently: "When you designed to murder the princess and fell into the ice lake and sent someone to assassinate the suburbs of Beijing, did you ever think about these two sentences?"
Wei Mingxu was really tired of her, and threw up his sleeves and left, leaving only the wailing of the courtyard, and the corpse was wrapped in a straw mat and dragged out, leaving only a pool of blood in Jingren Palace that no one scrubbed it, but it was more gorgeous than the peony in the courtyard.
Lin Zhixuan sat crooked on Xi Jinzhai's couch for a long time, thinking quietly about things, but she asked Qiu Ju to find Su Yu to come over.
Qiu Ju listened to Lin Zhixuan's words and trembled in her heart, after Wei Mingxu came back, Lin Zhixuan was a woman in the back house, and there was no need to see Su Yu, a foreign minister, again, so Lin Zhixuan had always been looking for Liu Yi for family affairs, and he would tell Wei Mingxu about the outside affairs, and there was really nothing that Lin Zhixuan needed to order in person.
Lin Zhixuan still didn't know that Su Yu was sent to Zhili by Wei Mingxu, Qiu Ju's heart tightened, she didn't know how to talk to Lin Zhixuan, but she heard Lin Zhixuan suddenly say again: "No need." β
Qiu Ju breathed a sigh of relief, and Lin Zhixuan asked: "I remember that when I came back to the palace, there was a shop manager in Nancheng named Hu Yi. β
Qiu Ju nodded when she heard this, she naturally had an impression of this person: "It's called Hu Yi, there was a scene in Beijing, and there were a lot of disasters in Zhuangzi shops and houses everywhere, and the shop in Liulichang that he was guarding did not go wrong, and when they left Beijing, they packed up all the rice and grain, and hid it in the cellar, and they were not damp, nor did they ask anyone to rob or steal things, and he also took good care of it when it snowed, and no house was crushed and crushed." Later, he returned to Beijing early, taking advantage of the fact that there was a shortage of rice and grain in Beijing at that time, and made a small profit, and Niangniang rewarded him with an extra twenty taels of silver at that time. β
Lin Zhixuan said with a smile: "You remember clearly, he was the shopkeeper of the shop, and he also did a lot of business with many official eunuchs in Beijing, our family has never had an industry in the capital, and the shop was also in a hurry to save a dowry for me at that time, but I don't know how he was willing to let go?"
Qiu Ju wrinkled her brows and said: "I don't know much about this, I really want to say that I offended some dignitary, the shop can't go on and is in a hurry to sell, so it is sold very cheaply, it was bought by the second grandmother at the beginning, and the accounts say that Hu Yi has managed well in the past, and even people have been hired, and he is still in charge of the shop." β
Lin Zhixuan nodded and said, "So it's an old Beijinger?"
Qiu Ju said: "Listening to their casual words, I'm afraid that I haven't lived in Beijing for thirty years, but for twenty years." β
