There are no summer cicadas and birds, and the night is silent, and the two sisters, Yingning and Yingxiu, lie on the same bed, chatting about their daughter's family.

Yingxiu muttered: "You haven't gotten married yet, but if you get married, it's completely different." ”

Ying Ning looked up slightly at the second sister lying beside her, the moonlight was faint, and she only saw a pair of watery eyes flickering in the night, "What's the difference?" "Isn't there just one more pillow person?

Yingxiu sighed, "I left home and went to a strange place, I always have to tremble when I do things and talk, for fear that I will do the wrong thing and say the wrong thing, which will make my in-laws unhappy and make my husband embarrassed......"

"Lord Jia and Mrs. Jia are embarrassed for you?" My second sister has always advocated that if she meets a powerful mother-in-law, although she will not be bullied, her house will be unstable every day.

Yingxiu smiled: "Lord Jia and Mrs. Jia treat me very well, the day after I got married, my mother-in-law asked me to help take care of the house, she said that when I got started, she would hand over all the housekeeping affairs to me, and she would hide away." She thought about it again and said, "No matter how good they are, they can't be as comfortable as staying by their mother's side......"

Ying Ning nodded, as if she understood. The second sister is going back with Jia Gongzi tomorrow, and I don't know when I can see each other again......

Mrs. Ji prepared a gift, and Yingxiu took back more than she brought, but she couldn't refuse, and she didn't want to brush off her mother's kindness. After saying goodbye to Ji's mother, I got into the carriage with Jia Gongzi, and I had to rush back to Jia's house before sunset today.

After Yingxiu returned to the door, this set of wedding customs and etiquette was really over.

On the fifth day after the second girl of the Ji family returned to the province, Ji's mother had just finished reading the accounts and was waiting for Master Ji to come back.

The guy in the concierge outside stumbled to Moyun Hall, his face was in a hurry, and Yan Yan hurriedly stopped him when he saw this, "Madame is doing things inside, doing a very reckless ......"

Before the guy could finish speaking, he shouted, "Oh no, you have to let me in quickly, master, master he ......" The guy stammered in a hurry.

Mrs. Ji was separated by a door, and naturally heard the sound, and hurriedly called Yan Hong to pass the word to let the person in.

The young man in the porter didn't care about asking for peace, and when he entered the door, he said, "Madam, it's a big deal, my lord, he was detained in the palace by the saint!" ”

Mrs. Ji struck a stir, thinking that she had heard something wrong: "What nonsense do you talk about early in the morning, you say it again!" What the hell is wrong with the master? ”

"Steward Zhao brought a message from outside the palace, the master was indeed detained in the palace!" That guy had never seen his wife lose her temper like this, and as soon as her legs were weak, she fell to her knees on the ground.

Yang sat down in his chair for a moment, his face pale.

Seeing that this was not good, Yan Yan and Yin Hong hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Don't panic, Mrs., your body is important, and you will come back after a while." ”

The Yang family knew very well in his heart at this time, the saint stayed here, and the old man was afraid that he would be more than lucky. She is a woman, and she can't even enter the palace gate, what should she do?

Yang's headache was splitting, and he couldn't breathe up, and he was stuffed in his chest.

No, she can't fall, there is such a big family, "Yanhong, help me to the couch quickly......" Yang was weak, his fingertips were painful, and his heart was bitten by tens of thousands of ants and insects, so he was afraid that he would faint, and the Ji family would be really messed up at that time.

Hong Yin and Yan Yan hugged Mrs. Ji and walked to the bed with difficulty. Although Yang was uncomfortable, he did not forget to say sternly: "This matter must not be known to others, if the matter is revealed for half a minute, you don't want to stay in the mansion, get out of the mansion after receiving the board." ”

The girl and the guy didn't expect the always kind wife to say such heavy words, and they kowtowed and said yes.

Yang was helped onto the bed, and Yin Hong pulled a soft pillow behind her back, and said worriedly, "Mrs., do you want to take a break and squint for a while?" ”

Yang shook his head, saw that the guy who reported the news was still kneeling, and said to him: "You send someone to inquire about the news, and if there is any situation, you will come to report it quickly, and as soon as Zhao Shi comes back, you will ask him to come to my house." ”

"The little one understands"

"Let's go."

The young man got out of Moyun Hall and ran to the outer courtyard, muttering in his heart, isn't there something really wrong with the Ji family?

Yang also asked Yin Hong to quickly tell the old lady about this, although she couldn't enter the palace, but the old lady had a fate, and she had a little face in the queen's mother, and Queen Wei often called her a master before entering the palace. The old lady is old and in poor health, and she hasn't been to the palace for many years, but she can't control this much.

Yang was lying on the bed, his eyes closed, his mind was full of the tragic situation of the Ji family's ruin, he was restless, and he fell asleep unconsciously, and suddenly he was awakened by a nightmare, scared into a cold sweat, Yin Hong saw this and hurriedly poured a glass of water and handed it over.

Yang asked, "How long have I been asleep?" Zhao Shike is back? ”

Yin Hong replied: "Madam, you slept for an hour, and Zhao Shi never came." The old lady had already entered the palace. ”

Yang thought about it, no, he sent someone outside the palace, and it was only half an hour to come and go, could it be that Zhao Shi had something to delay?

She said to Yan Yan, "You go to the outer courtyard and have a look." ”

Zhao Shi's mother-in-law, Li, took her five-year-old brother, and was about to go out in a panic with her packed baggage, but she didn't expect to bump into the girl sent by his wife as soon as she walked to the door.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Yan Yan immediately called two guys to control the Li family. Li's son couldn't understand the situation, and when he saw that his mother was arrested, he cried loudly.

Yan Yan saw that he couldn't be the master of this matter, so he sent someone to bring the two of them to Moyun Hall.

Li Shi trembled and crouched on the ground and did not dare to breathe, she had never seen this formation, since she was eighteen years old with Zhao Shi, she started to do the work of serving tea and water in the outer courtyard, few came to the inner courtyard, only heard others say that Mrs. Ji is a kind person, and it doesn't seem to be the case when I see it today. As soon as she entered, she saw that her wife had a blue face, and her face was ugly. Li Shi thought about it, this Zhao Shi must have committed a crime, no wonder, how could she ask her to pack her luggage, didn't she do something to offend the master?

The little baby on the side cried so much that Mrs. Ji had a headache, "Take him down first, I have something to ask the Li family." ”

When Li saw his son being taken away, he was anxious, kowtowed and cried.

Mrs. Ji said in a deep voice: "I won't harm him, but you have to reply to my words word by word." Why are you packing your bags? But Zhao Shi told you to do this? ”

Li didn't know what her husband had done, and now that his wife asked her so, she didn't say it or not, and she became more and more dispossessed, thinking that her youngest son was in the hands of her wife again, so she had to say everything she knew: "Mrs. spare my life, I didn't do anything." The person from my family hurriedly came in this morning, told me to pack my things and go back to my parents' house first, and asked what was the matter, but he didn't say anything. If he really commits a crime, please ask the lord and wife to spare him for the sake of his many years of hard work. The Li family kowtowed again and again to intercede for Zhao Shi.

Yan Yan said at this time: "The slave maid went to ask the gatekeeper, and the doorkeeper said that he had not seen Steward Zhao come back, and then went to ask the guy at the west gate, only to know that Steward Zhao had entered through the small door at the back. ”

Mrs. Ji looked at Li and asked, "Where did he go after he looked for you?" ”

Li didn't dare to hide it": he only said that he was waiting for me in the Gou Lane of West Street outside, and I met the girl before I went out......"

When the Yang family heard this, they immediately sent someone to West Street to look for someone, but there was no shadow of Zhao Shi. Presumably, Zhao Shi was afraid of being implicated and fled. has been with Master Ji for many years, and sure enough, he knows people and faces, but he doesn't know his heart.

Yang's heart is even more bottomless, Steward Zhao is a close confidant of the master, and he must know a lot of truths, if the saint wants to investigate the master, he will inevitably catch Zhao Shi for interrogation and get a confession, this person has all the evidence and material evidence, so he can be convicted, Zhao Shi fled, it is a blessing or a curse.

The Yang family also thought about escaping, but where did the family flee to? The whole world is not the king's land, and the saint has detained people, so he must have already sent people to guard the city gate, and as soon as he escaped, he would abscond in fear of sin, and his innocence would become guilty.

As Yang expected, in the afternoon, the official messenger surrounded the Ji Mansion and said that he wanted to find Zhao Shi.

This Ji Mansion was surrounded by officers and soldiers so that the birds couldn't fly out, and the Ji family was not given a chance at all.

Now the house can explode. The people in the house didn't know what was going on, so they all asked around. Those who knew the truth were silent, and those who didn't know thought that the officers and soldiers were here to arrest Zhao Shi.

The two aunts and two sisters all came to Moyuntang, but they were blocked by Yan Yan, saying that his wife was uncomfortable and he didn't see anyone.

Yingning was also anxious in the house. I heard that my grandmother left the house and went to the palace, but now I don't know what the situation is.

Kang Qing came to report that the fifth and sixth sisters had come.

As soon as Yingxue entered the door, she asked, "Does my sister know what's going on?" ”

Ying Ning shook her head.

"I think that formation must not be as simple as arresting Zhao Shi, Zhao Shi is just a minion, what can he do is worthy of the government's action." Yingxue said this in her mouth, but she couldn't think of anything else that could happen besides this, her father was not here at this time, and her mother closed the door and didn't see anyone, so she could only think of coming to this sister to ask. The seventh sister is always by her mother's side, so she may not know anything.

Even if Ying Ning guesses anything, she can't talk nonsense, since her mother is closed and no one is seen, she must not be able to say it. ": Sister go back first, don't worry about telling the aunts, presumably the government will find Zhao Shi and withdraw. If we are in a hurry first, the people in the house will not be in a mess. ”

Surrounded by officers and soldiers outside, Yingxue and Yingyao didn't dare to move around at will, so they stayed in Liuyunxuan and Yingning to wait for news.

In the Changchun Palace, Empress Wei and Mrs. Ji talked around for an hour, so anxious that the Liu family was anxious, but they didn't dare to show half a point in front of Empress Wei, "Queen Mother, the old student dared to ask, what is the matter that the saint left my family Yihuai?" ”

Empress Wei took a sip of tea without hurry, and said: "There must be something wrong with the history of Ji Yushi, only the women of the harem are not allowed to interfere in politics, and it is unknown what the palace is about." Wei saw clearly, and at this time, Old Madam Ji was extremely anxious. She also knew a little about the Holy Lord's detention of Ji Yushi, but it was just for the embezzlement case in Cloud City.

Empress Wei received the favor of Mrs. Liu when she was in the Shengshang Longqian Mansion, when she was still the princess of Han. Today's Shengshang, King Han at that time, was spreading his power for the matter of seizing the heir, and promoted the cabinet scholar at that time, who is now Prime Minister Nie. Prime Minister Nie Cheng sent his daughter Nie Rong'er into the palace, and since then there has been no one else in the eyes of the saint. Princess Wei was young and ignorant, so she was anxious about this matter and begged Liu, and at that time she also called Liu's master. When Mrs. Ji lectured, he always said vaguely that a gentleman cares about the world and governs the country first; The knowledge of the poor and the lowly must not be forgotten, and the wife of the scumbag will not go to court. How smart the saint is, he knows that he has neglected his wife, so he slowly re-looks at his princess. For this reason, Empress Wei knew that she owed Liu a favor.

Although Ji Yihuai is a faction of Prime Minister Nie, but kindness is kindness, Queen Wei looked at Mrs. Ji anxiously, why didn't she want to help, but the saint sent someone to tell her before Mrs. Ji entered the palace that the queen mother only needs to take care of the harem and help the prince choose the princess, and she doesn't have to worry about other things. At that time, she was still wondering, she didn't expect that she was as shrewd as a saint, and she had expected that Mrs. Ji would come, so she sent someone to block her mouth early.

Empress Wei's face did not change, and she took the roster and said to Mrs. Ji: "In the past two days, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has presented a roster, all of which are young women from the family. The fifth prince is not young, and it is time to pick the princess, since you are here, help the palace to take a look? ”

Mrs. Ji hurriedly said: "The old body does not dare to be the word master, the queen mother, when you were still the princess, it was just a matter of calling it, now you are the mother of the country, you call the master and wife, but it is a torment for the old body." ”

Empress Wei knew that Mrs. Ji was blaming herself, and she was not annoyed on her face, but she was quite helpless in her heart: "This palace said that you can afford it." After speaking, he took a few more portraits, pointed at the woman above, and said: "This right waiter's daughter is eleven years old, and she is quite handsome, only her chin is pointed, I am afraid that it is not a blessing; The daughter of the Admiral, named Linlang, is a little younger, only nine years old, but it seems that she may become a great beauty after a few years......"

When Mrs. Ji heard that she was nine years old, she thought of her little granddaughter, who was also nine years old, if she didn't have the protection of the Ji family, how would she grow up safely? Mrs. Ji is a little anxious": Niangniang......"

Before Liu could speak, Empress Wei interrupted: "Zhen Guohou's granddaughter is really getting more and more smart, Luo'er hasn't entered the palace for a long time, and the palace really misses her." ”

Seeing this, Mrs. Ji knew that she was hopeless in asking for someone, and it was not good to arouse Empress Wei's interest at this time, so she nodded and agreed: "The county lord of Linghui is the niece of the queen's mother, if she really becomes the fifth imperial concubine, it will really be a kiss and a kiss." ”

Empress Wei nodded, she also had this intention, but the holy intention was unpredictable.

Everyone said that Nie Ronghuai assisted the saint to sit on the dragon chair, became the first celebrity in front of the emperor, and became an official and a knight, and since then the tide has risen, and he has been able to sit in a position above 10,000 people under one person, and his daughter Nie has also won the favor of the concubine, and has been crowned with a harem, and the scenery is unlimited for a while. But the companion is like a tiger, the saint can give you a gift one moment, and the next moment can send you to hell, all by his thoughts.

Empress Wei can see that this time the Ji family will not be able to stay.

If the saint wants to take the Nie family, there must be a reason, and Ji Yihuai is his reason.
