Chapter 56: Relief

Rui Wang Liang Yinhuan cleaned up the emptiness of the treasury and made a meritorious service, but he ended up with a reputation for being a disrespectful wise man and ruthless in his methods, and was finally punished by the emperor in the palace for a month. For such ups and downs of the results, some people are shocked, some people are upset for King Rui, of course, there are also people gloating, but no matter what kind of attitude everyone has in their hearts, this noisy and troublesome household deficit case finally ended in a sigh of embarrassment.

Rui Wang Liang Yinhuan did not object to the emperor's ruling, he has been staying in the mansion for half a month and has never left half a step, even the subordinates and guards in the mansion are extremely low-key, rarely go out. Ruiwang, this was a hot topic after the people's tea and dinner two days ago, and it seemed to disappear from the capital in a blink of an eye, if it weren't for someone cleaning the snow at the entrance of Ruiwang's Mansion every day, it really made people feel that Ruiwang's Mansion had become an empty mansion again.

After King Rui was punished, Emperor Liang Yinhao was in a very good mood every day, and even the tone of his speech in the morning was extremely soft and relaxed. In his eyes, this time he completely won over King Rui, and without much effort, he not only solved the problem of the treasury, but also slapped King Rui with an ear scraper, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. When Liang Yinhao was getting carried away, Mu Qing found a suitable time to knock on his side. She told Emperor SΓΉ that although King Rui accepted this result safely, the Queen Mother, who had always protected her son, might not necessarily buy it, and should still be comforted more. Liang Yinhao thought about Mu Qing's words and it was not unreasonable, the Queen Mother has always loved the son of King Rui, this time King Rui suffered such a big grievance, how could the Queen Mother swallow her anger? No matter what the Queen Mother says, she is also the emperor's mother-in-law, and once she makes a fuss, even Liang Yinhao can't cope with it. So Liang Yinhao told Mu Qing to go to the Queen Mother's bedroom for more than two days, talk more with her old man, try to appease her feelings, and notify herself as soon as there is any trouble.

Mu Qing also readily accepted such a task, after all, she has different feelings for the Queen Mother, although she is no longer the Yun Changyan she used to be, but her love for the Queen Mother has not changed. Another reason is that King Rui seems to have suffered a great grievance on the surface this time, but there is a loss before gain, as long as he can calm down this time, there will be righteous people who will fight for him in the future. Therefore, Mu Qing needs to think of ways to persuade the Queen Mother, don't act rashly, if Liang Yinhao really makes King Rui suspicious, then it will really cut off King Rui's back road.

In the Queen Mother's bedroom, Mu Qing gently pecked at the hot tea handed by her grandmother, and said with a smile: "The Biluochun in the Queen Mother's Palace is really well preserved, this is all winter, and the color and taste of the tea are still like new tea." ”

The Queen Mother smiled slightly, noncommittal, she knew the real purpose of Concubine Chen's visit to her palace in the past two days, but the Queen Mother didn't break it, just changed the topic. "It's been snowing heavily in the past two days, so the mourning family hasn't been out of the palace. Is the emperor okay these two days? ”

Mu Qing said softly: "Don't worry, the queen mother, the emperor is fine." I heard that a few days ago, the Ministry of Industry handed over an excerpt, saying that the embankment in the south has been basically completed, and the emperor is still very happy because of this! ”

"It's good that the emperor is happy. I am afraid that the emperor will suspect this and that, prevent the east and the west, and affect the innocent people for no reason. ”

The deep meaning in the Queen Mother's words makes people feel cold in their hearts. Mu Qing's eyes were lowered, and there was a smile on his lips that he didn't know how to be angry, and he said slowly: "Niangniang is worried about King Rui?" ”

The Queen Mother sighed deeply, "How dare the mourning family say anything to the emperor, but I hope that there will be less right and wrong and suspicion in this court." ”

Mu Qing sneered in his heart: But one day, these suspicions of right and wrong will never stop, and this has been the case throughout the ages.

The Queen Mother spoke again, her tone much softer than just now. In fact, in this matter, the mourning family has no resentment in their hearts, and they don't want to be unhappy for King Rui. On the contrary, the mourning family felt that blessings and misfortunes depended on each other, and it was not a bad thing for King Rui to be able to live a quiet life in the house. ”

"The Queen Mother is an understanding person, and the concubine believes that His Royal Highness King Rui will definitely see through it." Mu Qing smiled with relief, she didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so open to this matter. Perhaps, as the Queen Mother said, it is the greatest blessing to be able to travel through the mountains and rivers and stay out of things. But she knew that this was simply impossible, that King Rui was destined to return to the center of the storm, to regain the one that had belonged to him, and that he was destined to drift away from the ordinary. Thinking of this, a deep sense of guilt suddenly surged into Mu Qing's heart.

Knowing that the Queen Mother had let go of the matter, Mu Qing's heart was settled, and then he chatted with the Queen Mother for a few words, and then left the Queen Mother's bedroom with Zhu Yu. On the way back to the palace, Zhu Yu carefully helped Mu Qing to walk in the empty and cold palace alley. In the cold days of Sanjiu, Mu Qing's body was weaker than the previous two days, just in the queen mother's bedroom, there were constantly charcoal roasting around her, but she didn't feel anything, but now when she came out, she suddenly felt the cold and biting, so that she couldn't help but shrink her body into the thick big box.

In the distance, a child was seen jumping up and down in the snow, as if trying to reach for something on a branch. Zhu Yu looked at it fixedly, couldn't help but be stunned, turned her head to Mu Qing, and said, "Niangniang, it's the eldest prince!" ”

Mu Qing's eyes flickered, and he saw that the eldest prince was tired of trying to catch the kite that fell on the branch, but the result was naturally repeated trials and failures, how could a six or seven-year-old child be able to get such a high place. Ke Muqing didn't mean to come forward to help, but just looked at the eldest prince indifferently, his eyes full of alienation.

Zhu Yu couldn't bear to see such a young child playing alone in the ice and snow, but the master didn't speak, and she couldn't rush forward to help. So Zhu Yu carefully knocked on the side and said: "Why is the eldest prince always hanging around the palace alone, and what about the palace maids and eunuchs around him?" How dangerous it is for such a young child to be out there alone! ”

"So what? What's the matter with us? Mu Qing said expressionlessly, and then turned his head and left.

Although Zhu Yu felt that the child was pitiful in her heart, she saw that Mu Qing's face was condensed and resolute, so she had no choice but to follow closely behind her master and stop talking.

When the two walked to another fork in the road, Mu Qing suddenly stopped, paused for a long time, and then sighed helplessly, and said to Zhu Yu: "Go!" ”

Zhu Yu grinned, she knew that the master was not a hard-hearted person, although the master still had a grudge against Concubine Zhen in his heart, but the mother is the mother, the child is the child, and the master still can't bear it after all.

Mu Qing stood not far away, looking at the back of Zhu Yu walking away, with mixed feelings in his heart. Before entering the palace, she tried to think about how to face Shen Hao's mother and son, after all, they used to be such good friends, and her brother loved this woman so deeply when he was alive, she had no way to really hate her, let alone hate her children, but she had absolutely no way to forgive Shen Hao.
