Chapter Seventy-Four: A Huge Blow

"Bastard!"

Emperor Jingtai was furious, and grabbed his favorite set of blue and white entwined lotus pattern cups on the case and threw them out. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Smack!" The teacup fell on the lap of Li Deyu, the seventh prince, poured him with tea, and turned unwillingly on the ground from the bottom of the bowl that was separated from the cup.

Father-in-law Shi, who tried his best to make himself have no sense of existence, shrank back unpredictably, and felt that his heart was like a teacup at this moment, falling to pieces. Your Majesty... How can you give up... You will regret dropping ...

Just now, Wu Yi came to report that the person who was secretly monitoring the Seven Princes finally brought people out, and the two women confessed to the matter, and the secret guards soon had a clear understanding of the ins and outs of the investigation.

Emperor Jingtai was very calm after listening to it at that time, and his expression was as usual to discuss the matter of taxation with several elders, so when Li Deyu came in just now, he thought it was an ordinary exchange between father and son.

"Father," Li Deyu collapsed on the ground in fright, "This matter is definitely not the work of the son, the son, the son..."

"Could it be that someone slandered you?" Emperor Jingtai even helped him think of a reason.

"Yes, it's slanderous to the sons." The Seventh Prince seized the opportunity to quickly explain. "Someone must be plotting behind his back!"

Emperor Jingtai's eyes suddenly tightened, and he returned to calm like the deep sea.

If Qinglan was present at the moment, she would definitely shout: This look is exactly the same as Thirteen's!

Seeing Lao Qi kneeling there sweating and composing, Emperor Jingtai was angry and disappointed, the son he had carefully cultivated for so many years was actually a coward!

At first glance, you know that someone else designed you, but you stupidly got into the trap and put "big" braids for people to catch, idiot!

If the Seventh Prince confessed at this moment, maybe Emperor Jingtai would not be so angry, young man, full of blood and blood, it is not a heinous sin to make a few children.

What made Emperor Jingtai extremely angry was that his son was tricked and calculated, and he still hasn't understood it, so he just blindly denies it and doesn't admit it, which is really unbearable!

With the five princes in front of him, Emperor Jingtai will inevitably compare his other sons with his eldest son, and the seventh son is really chilling!

"Come on, bring them in!"

Emperor Jingtai originally just wanted to beat his son, as a prince, he is an example for the people of the world, how can he act wantonly!

As for these people, it is not difficult to send them away and help his son smooth them out, but now... Lao Qi obviously didn't cry when he saw the coffin, how many things are still hidden from me!

"Yes." Shi Gonggong's waist bent lower, the seventh prince, the seventh prince, the emperor saved your face, but you broke the emperor's heart.

Li Deyu was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, how could this matter reach his father? Obviously, Uncle Huang hides people so densely. ... Could it be Uncle Huang? Li Deyu didn't dare to think further, if it was Uncle Huang, then he would definitely be doomed this time!

"Do you know them?" Emperor Jingtai wanted to serve tea, but found that the cup had been broken.

Li Deyu raised his head and looked at it, so shocked that he almost peed his pants, damn, it's all right!

I saw a few children walking up in the hall, because he was too nervous, Li Deyu couldn't be sure that they were his children, but he recognized the two women kneeling beside the children!

Li Deyu didn't dare and couldn't recognize them, so he had to lie and say: "Erchen... Haven't seen them. ”

"Smack!"

Something flew to the Seven Princes, and it bounced to the ground with a crisp sound, and Gonggong Shi carefully distinguished, okay, now the teacup and the lid of the cup are together.

"I ask you again, do you recognize this child and woman?!" Emperor Jingtai's voice was loud, this was the emperor's edict, not his father's inquiry.

"Son, son..."Li Deyu was scared and cried! Whimpered and couldn't speak.

Crying is sometimes a good way to stall.

The children were a little restrained at first, but after discovering a familiar person not far away, they got up and went straight to Li Deyu, and shouted in a milky voice while opening their arms: "Daddy! ”

The first is the eldest child, she smiled innocently, the word "daddy" is a word that her mother will teach them to read every day.

This shout almost killed Li Deyu, and he pushed the child who pounced on him to the side and scolded: "What nonsense! ”

The child saw that his father, who had been gentle to him in the past, was so fierce, and cried with an aggrieved "wow".

"What else do you have to say?" As soon as Emperor Jingtai waved his hand, someone immediately dragged the child and the woman down.

"Father, they are really not the children of the sons." Li Deyu had no other way but to bite and not let go.

"Come on," Emperor Jingtai gestured to the chief of the guard, "You will slash these children one by one, and I will believe you." As soon as the words fell, the knife was handed to him.

Kill... Got them? Li Desheng was stunned, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat, what should I do, how could my father be so cruel?!

"Your Majesty." A certain guard didn't want to come in at this moment and disturb the emperor's family affairs, "Concubine Yi asked to see her outside the palace." ”

Concubine Dai Yi, the biological mother of the Seven Princes, is one of the four concubines.

Li Desheng suddenly felt happy to fall from the sky, and his mother came to save herself!

Emperor Jingtai didn't want to see her, Concubine Dai Yi had a strong personality, and the two couldn't talk about going together. He gave Gong Shi a look, which meant: Sent away.

Before Father-in-law Shi could make a move, Concubine Dai Yi broke into the palace directly.

"Presumptuous!" Emperor Jingtai became more and more angry, he thought she was a good one, but who knew that he would teach such a coward, which really lost the face of the royal family!

Concubine Dai Yi's stubbornness is well-known in the harem, if she recognizes the second, no one dares to admit the first.

"Your Majesty, what crime has my son committed?" Without waiting for the emperor to call to get up, Concubine Dai Yi stood up after saluting.

"Concubine Dai, are you questioning me!" Emperor Jingtai also stood up, and a palace concubine dared to break in and question the imperial power, it was simply lawless!

"The concubine just wants to know what the emperor has done wrong!" Concubine Dai Yi was full of energy, and the soprano echoed in the hall.

Father-in-law Shi wants to cover his face every time he comes to this time, Concubine Dai Yi has always spoken straightforwardly, and her words are literal; And the emperor can always subtly jump beyond all literal meanings to think about the meaning behind the speaker.

So...

"You mean, I will kneel here indiscriminately?!"

Alas...

Concubine Dai Yi simply didn't ask or answer, she walked straight to her son and picked up the broken porcelain pieces and tea leaves on his body one by one.

This action made Li Deyu very uncomfortable, for a long time, their mother and son had not been so close.

"Your Majesty, Yu'er lost his honor in front of the emperor, please forgive the concubine for the crime of dereliction of duty and take him back to the palace to freshen up." As soon as Concubine Dai Yi opened her mouth, her tone was as dry as commanding.

"Okay," Emperor Jingtai suddenly smiled, "by the way, bring your grandchildren and daughters with you." ”

Concubine Dai Yi's movements on her hands froze, and she didn't raise her head, "The emperor laughed, the seventh prince has not yet married, where is the emperor and grandson?" ”

The word "emperor and grandson" bit very hard, Li Deyu woke up in an instant, compared to the big position, a few children are nothing!

"And," after a pause, Concubine Dai Yi said again: "Someone dares to pretend to be the emperor's grandson in front of the saint, and ask the emperor to investigate and return the emperor's innocence!" ”

Li Deyu's heart was a little calm, and the concubine had already dragged herself up from the quagmire in a few words.

"Not bad." Emperor Jingtai's smile made people feel cold.

"Then the concubine and Yu'er will retire first." Concubine Dai Yi no longer delayed, she still had important things to go back to the palace to arrange immediately.

******

It was getting dark, and the torch on the gate tower was already lit.

Shu Mingzhuang stood at the gate of the city, constantly looking anxiously.

When the gatekeeper saw that he was still a thin boy with a blue face, he told him to stand in the back and avoid the wind.

Shu Mingzhuang's cold teeth chattered, thanked the uncle who was guarding the door, and stomped his feet against the wall to continue waiting.

Suddenly, a black dot appeared in Mingzhuang's field of vision, and when he got closer, he was sure that it was a black horse galloping from afar.

"Second Uncle!!" When Shu Mingzhuang saw Xiaobai, he was overjoyed, and he didn't care about choking on the wind and cold air, and shouted in the direction of Shu Laoer.

"Mingzhuang?" Shu Lao Er recognized the little nephew who was running towards him, frowned and said, "Why are you waiting here!?" "I howled the three and the other in my heart, what do you think, it's not that I don't know the way, and I still need to send Ming Zhuang out! This child was born weak, and he can't blow his illness on such a cold day!

Shu Lao Er misunderstood Shu Lao San's family, and they didn't know about it at all.

"Get in the car and warm up!" Shu Lao Er drove his nephew into the carriage and lifted the thick cotton curtain.

"Two..."Before Ming Zhuang could explain to Shu Lao Er, "Go to Grandpa's house first", Shu Lao Er couldn't help but stuff him into the car and re-cover the curtain.

"Mingzhuang!" Qinglan was a little surprised, but more of a joy to see her cousin. She put the stove under Ming Zhuang's big cotton jacket, turned around to get the bowl again, and picked up the hot teapot at the door to add water to Ming Zhuang.

Mingyu rubbed his hands with Brother He, and Pan Erniang covered the warm quilts on the children's legs.

"Why are you here?" Pan Erniang's tone is not good, looking at the child who froze, why is Wang Yufen so unhearted!

Ming Zhuang greeted Pan Erniang, and said anxiously: "Master asked me to pick up the second uncle, called... Go back to him first. ”

Pan Erniang frowned when she heard this, what kind of moth is this going on?

The children were also puzzled, how could they think of welcoming their own family back to their old house, which is also incredible.

Qinglan handed Ming Zhuang a cup of hot tea, in such weather, a cup of hot tea is more effective than a panacea.

Seeing that Ming Zhuang's face had eased, Qinglan opened her mouth and asked, "Why did you tell us to go back?" ”

Ming Zhuang shook his head, "Master will call me out to greet you at noon today, and go back to the old mansion directly." ”

Came out at noon? Pan Erniang immediately got up and looked for the food jacket hanging behind the door, this time she should be hungry.

"What's going on at Grandpa's house?" How could Old Man Shu call his family to live in the old house for no reason? Mo not... Running out of money again?

"Master..."Ming Zhuang took a piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth anxiously, "Master is sick." ”

In fact, he didn't know much, Old Man Shu was sick, and his task was to replace his father in the old mansion.

Sick? Real disease or fake disease?

It's not that Qinglan's family is suspicious, but Old Man Shu has long disregarded his face in order to ask his children for money.

Pretending to be sick is a good idea.

Ming Zhuang said vaguely that he didn't understand, he had only gone to the old mansion in the past two days.

"That's... What about Grandma Xiao? What Mingyu asked was also what Pan Erniang wanted to ask.

"Gone." Mingyu dropped a bombshell but didn't know it, and looked at everyone with an ignorant expression.

Yes?!

"Where?" Pan Erniang said strangely, doesn't Xiao Meiyuan have no mother's home, is it possible to go to her daughter's house to live in the opposite month?

A woman who marries in Weixian County will return to her parents' house to live for a period of time after the child is full moon, which is called the moon.

"I don't know." Mingyu swallowed a sip of tea, anyway, he was not in the Shu family.

The car was about to arrive at Pan's house, and the four of them didn't ask again.

As soon as he heard that it was Old Man Shu who was sick, Shu Lao Er hurriedly unloaded the salute, and before he had time to greet everyone in the Pan family, he hurriedly led Xiaobai out.

"Dad, I'm with you." Qinglan stood beside her father and picked out the gift for the old mansion first.

Shu Lao Er looked at his eldest daughter with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Then get in the car quickly." ”

Qinglan is a little embarrassed, the Lun family is purely curious~

As soon as she entered the old mansion, Qinglan suddenly felt a desolate and gloomy feeling in her heart, and the dead branches and leaves in the courtyard were like corpses all over the field, swinging irregularly in the cold wind.

There was a strong smell of medicine in the room, and Qinglan looked at it and saw that it was Wang Yufen boiling medicine, and her face was very bad. When she saw Qinglan coming in, her eyes immediately searched anxiously around, and she didn't let go until she carefully looked at her son from top to bottom.

Old Man Shu is really sick this time.

When Qinglan arrived in the back room, Boss Shu was giving him a needle.

"Daddy."

Shu Laoer's eyes turned red.

I haven't seen him for half a year, and Old Man Shu is more than a little old, his hair is all white, and he is very thin.

"Grandpa." Qinglan was also taken aback by Old Man Shu's appearance, what's wrong?

Old Man Shu nodded weakly, and his tone was sickly, "You're back." “

"Wow." The two of them responded at the same time.

"Then don't go anywhere, just stay at home." Old Man Shu raised his eyes with great effort and pleaded.

This... Shu Lao Er was a little embarrassed, but filial piety still prevailed, and nodded at Old Man Shu.

Old Man Shu seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, stopped speaking, and lay on the kang head half-asleep.

It's too late to move today, the yard is deserted like this, whether you can live in it is still a problem, and now it's the root of the year, whether you can find someone to paste on the kang or two.

After Boss Shu finished pricking the needle, he gently covered the quilt on Old Man Shu, glanced at his younger brother, and the three of them exited the back room.

After the greetings, Boss Shu sent Qinglan to the room, and he entered the East Cross Courtyard with Shu Laoer.

I don't know what he said, but Shu Lao Er's face has been very bad on the way back. When he arrived at Pan's house, Shu Lao Qiang Yan said a few words to Old Man Pan, and went back to the house without even eating dinner.

"Dad," Qinglan brought the noodle soup to the kang table and gently pushed Shu Lao Er, "Eat something to make up for it and then go to sleep." ”

The noodles are made by Pan Erniang, and Shu Lao Er can tell them by just smelling the smell.

"Ugh..."

If it were someone else, Shu Lao Er would definitely refuse, but the face was brought by the girl, and he couldn't pull his face.

Putting on his clothes, Shu Lao Er took the chopsticks, and Qinglan picked up the lamp and candle brighter.

After a mouthful of noodle soup, the internal organs can be regarded as functioning normally, probably because he was too hungry, Shu Lao Er ate the noodles without taste, but he still ate all the noodles and drank up the soup.

"Don't clean it up yet," Shu Lao Er said to his daughter: "Let's talk for a while." ”

"Wow." Qinglan put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand and sat down opposite her father. Qinglan knew that something big had happened in the family. (To be continued.) )
