Chapter 644: Punishment
Lin Zhixuan accompanied the Empress Dowager and the little emperor to sit in the sedan chair together, although the little emperor was much more restrained, but his eyes still looked out secretly from time to time, wanting to know what was going on.
Wei Mingxu didn't pass an hour of incense, Lin Zhixuan listened to the quietness outside, not long after, Dongmei came back first, Dongmei hesitated a little, Lin Zhixuan followed the Empress Dowager into the carriage, she didn't know whether to be disturbed, and this kind of thing was also very undignified.
Lin Zhixuan happened to pick up the curtain and glanced out, and saw Dongmei pacing back and forth outside, Lin Zhixuan's eyes lit up, and she said that she would go out and take a look first, so that the Queen Mother would be at ease.
Because of the water outside, the Queen Mother's face was solemn, obviously a little disinterested, very displeased, but she nodded slightly to Lin Zhixuan's resignation.
Lin Zhixuan looked at the Queen Mother's expression, afraid that this matter would not pass too easily.
Lin Zhixuan got out of the carriage, Dongmei hurriedly stepped forward to help, and whispered in Lin Zhixuan's ear: "Niangniang, it was Niangniang's carriage that caught fire, because Shichahai was frozen, and she couldn't find water for a while, so she couldn't save it, and burned the two carriages of the Gongwen Zhuang's Mansion and the Prince's Mansion on the side, but fortunately, no one was injured." ”
Lin Zhixuan furrowed her brows: "It's so decent, why did my carriage catch fire?"
Dongmei's eyes flickered a little hesitantly, and only after a while did she say: "The prince is already inquiring, saying that Qiu Ju knows that Niangniang is going to drive home, and she is afraid that it will be cold in the carriage, so she brought a charcoal basin and baked it in it, and then came out to welcome Niangniang." The brazier was unwatched in the carriage, and the spark burst out and ignited the curtain. ”
Lin Zhixuan was slightly surprised, Qiu Ju was not such an unstable person.
Dongmei naturally saw what Lin Zhixuan meant, and also said: "That's what I told the prince, Qiu Ju said that when she left, she instructed Hua'er to take care of the brazier carefully, but Hua'er said that Qiu Ju had never told her to say a word, she had been talking to Mother Cao in Princess Wenzhuang's mansion, and Mother Cao also testified. The prince was tired of these girls arguing over trivial matters, and looked very impatient, afraid that he would order to be killed. Mother, do you want to go over?"
After all, that person is Qiu Ju, no matter what happened before, they are all love for growing up together since childhood, although Dongmei is inexplicably alienated from Qiu Ju in Su Ri, but now she can't bear to watch her be wrongfully killed.
But today's incident is in front of the emperor, the empress dowager and the entire royal family, and the subordinates of the Jingwang Mansion came out to make a mistake and disturbed the holy driver.
Lin Zhixuan was also a little anxious, she naturally knew Wei Mingxu's temperament, although she didn't say that she would easily reverse black and white, but she was also very tired of these women fighting, but it was easy to deal with it easily, so she hurriedly said: "I'll go over and take a look." ”
Before she finished speaking, she saw Wei Mingxu coming over from a distance, Lin Zhixuan was anxious, took two steps forward, and asked Wei Mingxu: "How is it?"
The matter was over, Wei Mingxu lost the concentration of Fang Cai, nodded slightly at Lin Zhixuan and Yan, and said, "Don't get in the way, I'll go back to my mother, and I can go home." ”
Lin Zhixuan didn't want to ask a girl in front of so many people, so she had to wait for Wei Mingxu to bow to the Empress Dowager's car, and then said slowly: "But the maid didn't pay attention for a while, the charcoal basin ignited the carriage, and the Imperial Forest Army couldn't rescue it to cause a riot, now the fire has been extinguished, and it didn't hurt anyone, and my mother is tired, so you might as well go back to the palace first." ”
The Empress Dowager lifted the curtain slightly and nodded to Wei Mingxu, and Wei Mingxu personally sent the Empress Dowager back.
Before leaving, he wanted to tell Lin Zhixuan to let Lin Zhixuan go back first, be careful on the way, but he didn't want to see Lin Zhixuan and Dongmei there and didn't know what to mutter, Wei Mingxu didn't say much, and only sent the Queen Mother to drive first.
The group sent off the Empress Dowager, Lin Zhixuan looked at the people and walked away, then led the head and stood up, after she got up, the princesses and princesses of the following families also got up, Princess Wenzhuang took two steps forward and asked Lin Zhixuan if she was scared, Lin Zhixuan comforted her, and politely exchanged words with the princesses and princesses, asking if she wanted to go to Jingwangfu to sit and leave.
After coming out for a day, everyone was tired, so they didn't dare to disturb each other, so that Lin Zhixuan would go to have a good rest, and she would have to take care of the ninth sister.
Lin Zhixuan was just a void, but she never thought that she didn't have any guests here, but she heard Dongmei say that Li Jing invited Lin Yijie to go to Jingwang's Mansion to sit down, and she had to stay for dinner, and now she has gotten into Li Jing's carriage.
He didn't even come over to salute and say hello to himself, Princess Jing, and just followed a side concubine away, and he didn't know the rules.
It's just that Lin Yijie was the daughter of the Mu family in the past, and she originally looked down on herself from Hangzhou, so she didn't take herself seriously in the past, but now it's even worse.
It's just that now Lin Zhixuan doesn't have the heart to pay attention to her, what worries her is that Dongmei said that Wei Mingxu ordered someone to take Qiu Ju back to the house in front of everyone, saying that it was extrajudicial and gracious, and the rod scolded fifty to set an example, and now I don't know what the situation is.
However, these fifty boards go down, Qiu Ju is a female streamer, where is there still a way to live?
But after all, in front of outsiders, if Wei Mingxu put it down, he would not be able to send someone back to refute Wei Mingxu's face in a hurry at this moment.
Only took people back to Jingwang's Mansion, Dongmei helped Lin Zhixuan to get out of the carriage, and asked Liu Yi: "Where is Qiu Ju?"
Liu Yi bowed back to Lin Zhixuan and said: "The prince has shown that Qiu Ju is the maid of the mother's dowry after all, although the prince said the punishment in front of the experts outside, but after all, this is still a matter of the back house, and it is the mother's person, so let's only bring it back and hand it over to the mother to punish." ”
Lin Zhixuan's heart warmed up inexplicably, and the thoughts she had been carrying were put down, but this time, she had no plans in her heart, and her face sank again. He only nodded slightly to Liu Yi, and said solemnly: "Take her and Cao'er to Xijin Zhai together." ”
Liu Yi bowed and responded: "Yes." ”10
