"The courtiers don't dare, this is just a little emotion from the courtiers, if you give in three points, others will only gain an inch." Speaking of this, Sheng Xuejian's eyes couldn't help but darken. Huangfu Chonglou just wanted to refute, but unconsciously diverted the topic: "I just saw that those two secret guards are from Prince Li's mansion?" ”

"Sister Situ was afraid that something would happen to me, so she dispatched two palace guards to protect my safety." Anyway, King Jin had already seen it, and Sheng Xue didn't plan to hide it. Huangfu Chonglou touched his chin and wondered: "When did you have such a good relationship with that girl?" Speaking of which, the girl used to always look sick, and it made people feel bad when she looked at it. ”

Hearing Huangfu Chonglou comment on Situ Zisu like this, Sheng Xue became displeased: "How did His Royal Highness the King of Jin speak, Lord Situ is in good health now, how can you curse her like this?" Huangfu Chonglou saw that Sheng Xue was in a hurry, and then realized that he had lost his words: "What are you nervous about, I met her much earlier than you, I always say this about her, she can't do anything to me, what do you care so much about?" ”

After all, Huangfu Chonglou is the king of the county, and Fang Cai also saved his life, Sheng Xue saw that he had nothing to say, so he could only secretly scold Huangfu Chonglou in his heart. The two of them arrived at the gate of the city while talking, and Huangfu Chonglou stopped his horse and said: "I have arrived at the gate of the city, and there will be no one so blatant when I enter the city, you just have to rest assured." This king also has an appointment with the abbot master of Izumo Temple, so he won't send you away. ”

Sheng Xuejian nodded: "Thank you for today's events, Your Royal Highness King Jin." Huangfu Chonglou raised his hand, turned the horse's head, suddenly remembered something, and turned back and said: "Jinghua will come back on the fifteenth of this month." After speaking, without waiting for Sheng Xue to answer, he rode his horse and left.

Hongmei had already bandaged her wounds, but Baimei's injuries were not so serious, so she got out of the carriage and drove her horse. Sheng Xue saw that she saw the Jin King's men and horses walking away, sighed and ordered Bai Mei to ride a horse into the city.

The group returned to the Orchid Garden, but the nurse and Sheng Yuanlian were taken aback. Sheng Yuanlian immediately sent someone to invite Bai Zihua to see Sheng Xue's injury. Fortunately, Sheng Xue was not injured, but Hongmei was not lightly injured. Bai Zihua brought some antidote pills. Let Hongmei take it, which stabilized Hongmei's injury.

Bai Zihua carefully examined the broken arrow pulled out of Hongmei's arm, frowned and said, "This arrow seems to be the arrow of King Hui's mansion!" As soon as he said this, the room fell silent. The second prince killed Sheng Xue in pain? Sheng Yuanlian took the arrow from Bai Zihua's hand. Slightly clenched, he was about to go out.

Sheng Xue saw that her eyes were quick, and immediately stopped him: "Father, where are you going?" Sheng Yuanlian let out an angry voice from his throat: "For my father, I want to go to the emperor to ask for an explanation!" ”

"Daddy, are you confused? Who is he, who am I? With just one poisoned arrow from the Hui Palace, can I do anything to the most favored second prince of the dynasty? Do you think that the life of a prince is more important than mine? These words persuaded Sheng Yuanlian. In a fit of rage, he threw the poisoned arrow to the ground.

"Father don't be discouraged, sooner or later, we will let the Prime Minister Mansion. Let the second prince pay the price! I swear! Sheng Xue saw firmness in his words.

"Miss, don't go to those remote places in the future." After Bai Zihua gave a few instructions, he left the orchid garden with the nurse.

Sheng Xue saw that she was sitting on the warm couch, her face was gloomy, and the nurse walked in and said, "Miss, I have sent Mr. Bai back." Sheng Xue saw a palm slapped on the coffee table: "I can't just forget it so easily!" ”

"Miss, Shopkeeper Li is here, saying that he has something important to report to you, Miss!" Ah Hua hurriedly walked in, out of breath. Shopkeeper Li came at this time, and he must have made an important discovery in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Sheng Xue's eyes lit up when she saw it, and immediately ordered: "Quickly invite someone in!" ”

"Miss. Great news! Shopkeeper Li walked in with a happy face, but saw that the red plum and the white plum were hanging up one after another, his face immediately changed greatly, and he looked at Sheng Xuejian with concern and asked, "Miss, what happened to you?" Sheng Xue saw that she waved her hand: "It's just a little accident, it's okay, you can tell me, but what did the Prime Minister's Mansion discover?"

"Exactly! We found out that the cousin of the Prime Minister's wife is not dead at all! Shopkeeper Li said excitedly, Sheng Xue stood up from the chair in shock: "What did you say?" He didn't die at all? ”

Shopkeeper Li nodded: "Exactly!" The villain has already found out that the cousin of the prime minister's wife lost a lot of money in the gambling house of the Bai family in Shengjing, and he is afraid that the Bai family will be held accountable. So deliberately blown up. I didn't expect the prime minister to take advantage of this to embarrass our fifth master. The cousin of the Prime Minister's wife, who is now spending the New Year in the Prime Minister's Mansion, is actually the cousin who cheated to death, and the Prime Minister's wife has no cousin at all! ”

"Tell me. How did you find out about this? Is there a way to debunk this person? Sheng Xue only felt boiling in her heart, if what Shopkeeper Li said was true, then it would be much easier to overturn the case for the little uncle! A year has passed since the fifth master disappeared, so the gentleman has relaxed his vigilance again, and we have planted the sparrow waiting by his side. Once, when he was drunk, he said it himself. ”

"Good!" Sheng Xue only felt that God helped me! "Think of a way to lure this person out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, I want to make a big deal about this matter, but I want to see how the Prime Minister's Mansion ends!"

Shopkeeper Li looked up at Sheng Xue and bowed to her deeply: "Miss's meaning, the little one understands." The small one will be arranged, lead this person to the gambling house, and then provoke Jingzhao Mansion Yin over, and then make a big deal about it! ”

Sheng Xue saw that she nodded, and then instructed the nurse: "You send me to the teahouse in the east of the city, I have important things to do, Shopkeeper Li, you can go back for the time being." ”

When she arrived at the teahouse in the east of the city, Sheng Xue saw that she asked the nurse to wait outside, the nurse was not at ease, Sheng Xuejian patted the nurse's hand and said: "I dare not say elsewhere, in this place, I am absolutely safe, you can rest assured, wait for me here." After saying that, he left the nurse and went to one of the upper rooms on the second floor of the teahouse.

She knocked on the door three times, and someone opened the door for her from the inside, and the old man saw Sheng Xuejian and asked suspiciously, "Why did the fifth lady come here?" ”

"I have something urgent to discuss with my uncle, you don't care about the rest, let me in!" The old man didn't dare to delay, so he quickly gave up his position and let Sheng Xue come in.

"Little uncle! I have good news for you! When Sheng Xue saw him come in, Bai Wuye was sitting at the table reading a book. As soon as he saw his niece coming, he put down the book and looked at Sheng Xue and said with a smile: "Aman, what good news do you have to tell your uncle?" ”

Sheng Xue saw that Xiao Bu ran to Bai Wuye's side. leaned into his ear and whispered, and told Bai Wuye everything that Shopkeeper Li told him today. Hearing this, Bai Wuye's eyes lit up: "This person is still alive!" The prime minister was really bold enough to hide him in Shengjing! ”

"Humph! In the end, it was the cousin of the prime minister's wife, how could he really let him die. But it's a great opportunity for us. I've already asked Shopkeeper Li to arrange it. When I enter the palace tomorrow, I will ask Concubine De for help, and the Queen Mother will be in charge, and my uncle will be fair. At that time, the uncle reappeared in front of the Queen Mother in the name of offering medicine. I believe that not only will the prime minister not be able to treat his uncle well, but the queen mother will also give his uncle a reward! ”

Bai Wuye looked at Sheng Xue with some emotion and said, "Our Ah Man has really grown up, and the Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely hide this matter very closely, how did you know about it?" ”

Speaking of this, Sheng Xue saw that she was a little proud and said: "I have sent someone to infiltrate the prime minister's mansion, and the prime minister will definitely not notice it." Let's not talk about this for the time being, little uncle, I came today to inform my little uncle, I must be prepared. Bai Wuye nodded and said, "It's a great time, I can't wait to give the prime minister a big gift!" Uncle will never let us down, don't worry! ”

The two of them talked for a while, carefully calculating what might happen tomorrow. After confirming that there was no problem, Sheng Xue saw that he left. Because Sheng Xuejian had been in the teahouse for too long, she was so frightened that she had no owner, and she had been in a hurry outside the door, and finally saw Sheng Xuejian, and the nurse's heart finally settled down.

The next day, Sheng Xue saw that she entered the palace, she first went to Concubine De's palace, and told the old things to Concubine De Niangniang clearly, Concubine De thanked Sheng Xue for helping her conceive a dragon seed in one fell swoop, so she agreed to help her. The third princess wrote a handwritten letter and asked the palace maid to send it to the General's Mansion. Let the ancestor send some people to help Sheng Xue see the formation.

The "sparrow" sent to the Prime Minister's Mansion by Shopkeeper Li easily encouraged Zhu Yue, the cousin of Mrs. Xiangfu, to walk out of the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he thought that he would not be discovered by anyone, but in the gambling house on the street, he soon lost all his money. So he had to borrow money on credit in the name of Mrs. Xiangfu as before.

Who knows that the owner of today's gambling house doesn't have long eyes, and he only knows Zhu Yue, the cousin of Mrs. Xiangfu, and has not heard that Mrs. Xiangfu has any cousin. That Zhu Yue couldn't collect it, so he admitted that it was Zhu Yue. But at this time, the owner of the gambling house said that Zhu Yue had already been killed by Bai Wuye, saying that he was a fake.

Zhu Yue thought to herself. Bai Wuye has been missing for so long, and he thought that he was dead, so he boldly proved that he was Zhu Yue, and the gambling house owner's face changed greatly, and he shouted that he wanted to send Zhu Yue to the official, and this matter made a fuss. Just as a pair of officers and soldiers passed by, the leading junior general heard about it, so he sent Zhu Yue to Jingzhao Mansion Yin.

When Yin of Jingzhao Mansion heard that it was Zhu Yue, the cousin of the Prime Minister's wife, his face changed in fright, because Yin of Jingzhao Mansion was the prime minister's disciple, so he was about to bury this matter, but the officers and soldiers of that team did not give up, saying that they must find out about this matter and not damage the innocence of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

This pair of officers and soldiers used to be the general's men and horses, and they were not under the jurisdiction of the prime minister, and Jingzhao Mansion Yin had no choice but to report this matter. Originally, after the matter was reported, the officers and soldiers would no longer pursue it, and after the matter reached the official department, it could also be suppressed. At this time, Bai Wuye appeared in Shengjing.

also brought back the last miracle medicine for the Queen Mother. Bai Zihua took Bai Wuye and medicinal materials into the palace to meet the Queen Mother, Bai Wuye shouted for himself in the Phoenix Palace, and the case had not yet reached the Ministry of Officials, so the Queen Mother had already known. The Queen Mother was furious and invited the emperor to let Bai Wuye tell the emperor the ins and outs of the matter.

In the phoenix hall, the emperor asked with a gloomy face: "Do you say that the prime minister's cousin is still alive?" Bai Wuye replied without humility or arrogance: "Back to the emperor, Zhu Yue is still in the prison of Jingzhao Mansion Yin, but if the case reaches the ministry, I am afraid that Zhu Yue can get out safely again." And the grass people will have to bear the notoriety of murder! ”

The emperor is not a fool, he naturally knows that there is a prime minister in the ministry, "Order Jingzhao Mansion Yin, open a court to try this case!" Let King Jin supervise this case, this matter has dragged on from last year to this year, at the foot of the imperial city, I will never allow anyone to kill innocents indiscriminately! ”

The king of Jin received the order and arrived at Jingzhao Mansion Yin with the holy decree, and it was too late for the prime minister to learn the news. Because there is a big prince in charge, it is undoubtedly the emperor who is there in person. Jingzhao Mansion Yin didn't dare to make a mistake, and Bai Wuye prepared the case of the complaint early, and the piles on the top were clearly written.

not only accused the Prime Minister's Mansion of framing a good person and forcibly put the charge of murder on his head, but also accused the Prime Minister's Mansion of secretly stealing the property of the Bai family, which is justified and well-founded. Jingzhao Mansion Yin had no choice but to act according to the law of the Apocalypse, and the dossier was brought to the emperor by the King of Jin, who was furious and ordered the prime minister to be fined for half a year and return all the Bai family property that had been embezzled.

The Queen Mother specially gave Bai Wuye a gold medal, and since then the Bai family has become the first surnamed imperial merchant of the Apocalypse. In the limelight in Beijing for a while. Sheng Xue was naturally happy when she heard the news, and from now on, the little uncle didn't have to continue to hide, and he could make the Bai family's business bigger and stronger.

Because of the return of the Bai family's property, the Penglai residence of the Prime Minister's Mansion was naturally closed. In this battle, the prime minister suffered a big dumb loss. But he can't say anything about the Bai family and the orchid garden. Because this matter has already been known to the emperor, once something happens to Bai Wuye, then the emperor will be the first to suspect the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

In this delicate balance, Bai Wuye was mixed smoothly in Shengjing. Time flies quickly, and Duanmu Jinghua is finally going back to Shengjing. On this day, the gates of the city were full of people. King Jin stood on top of the city tower and looked out from afar. He was ordered by his father to come to Duanmu Jinghua to pick up the wind and wash the dust.

It's just that there is one thing he doesn't understand, why when he heard the news of Jinghua's victorious return, his father's face didn't have much joy, but there was a trace of worry?

There was a burst of dust, and Huangfu Chonglou was overjoyed, and it seemed that Duanmu Jinghua's army had arrived. As soon as he raised his hand, the soldiers at the city gate immediately beat their drums and sang music. Sheng Xue saw that she was standing at the gate of the city with her aunt Bai He, and her heart throbbed, did he finally come back? (To be continued.) )
