My palms were sweating with nervousness, and the silence of the hall was suffocating, and I could clearly hear a needle falling to the ground. After a while, Yun Zheng said slowly: "Back to the emperor, this book is not true. ”

"Oh?" The Emperor said lightly, "What are the facts?" ”

"Your Majesty, the Yun family's management of the iron mine has always been strictly in accordance with the regulations of the imperial court, and the occurrence of this mining disaster was completely accidental, and force majeure factors naturally cannot be resisted. After the accident, the Yun family has actively organized the rescue, the wife personally went to the mine, the miners' families to comfort, organize compensation, punish the management, half of the buried miners were rescued, which is unique in the Tiancao country, the previous Fuzhou tin mine, Yongdingfu gold mine occurred in the catastrophic mining disaster, the miners in the mine have not survived. The riot was deliberately instigated by people with bad intentions who tried to fish in troubled waters, and the minister's wife almost died in Tieshan County. Yun Zheng refuted the excerpt one by one, "As for delaying the mining class, although the iron ore mine in Tieshan County is currently being seized by the government, the mining volume in the first half of the year has been exceeded, and if the emperor decrees that the mine will be unsealed, the mining class will definitely be completed by the end of the year." Please ask the emperor to check clearly, this book is not true. ”

"That is, do you think the Yun family is not guilty?" The emperor listened to Yun Zheng's argument quietly and said lazily.

"Back to the emperor, the Yun family is not without responsibility. Failure to prevent accidents is responsible; It is the responsibility to be instigated to riot by someone with bad intentions; As a courtier, you can't share the emperor's worries, but add trouble to the emperor, which is an unforgivable crime. Therefore, the minister felt deeply guilty, and the incompetent person was not enough to shoulder the emperor's heavy responsibility, so he asked the emperor to take back the iron ore mining right and give the minister the death penalty to uphold the national law. "Yun Zheng is authentic word by word.

"Yun Zheng!" I exclaimed, do you know what you're talking about? Yun Zheng didn't look at me, just looked at the emperor in the palace with blazing eyes, I calmed down, originally we discussed handing over the mining rights, and we decided to retreat as advance, but now Yun Zheng just did it more thoroughly. I turned my head, looked at the emperor in the palace, leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, the concubine is willing to accept the guilt with her husband!" ”

"Guilty together?" After a while, the emperor's suppressed voice came from the palace. Then he heard the silent cloud and said: "Your Majesty, although the Yun family is responsible for the mining disaster in Tieshan County, the crime will not lead to death." Please ask the emperor to be loyal to the Yun family for generations and think twice. ”

Several other courtiers in the palace also pleaded one after another, but the emperor remained silent, I leaned over, I didn't know the emperor's expression, I only felt that the atmosphere in the palace was so depressing that it made my scalp tingle. After a while, he suddenly laughed: "Yun Aiqing, Mrs. Ronghua, let's be flat!" ”

Yun Zheng and I stood up, I didn't know what he was laughing at suddenly, I was a little apprehensive in my heart, but I only heard the emperor continue: "Yun Aiqing is too worried, the mining disaster in Tieshan County has been investigated, and it is indeed as Yun Aiqing said." Although the Yun family is responsible, the crime is not to death, and this mining right will be taken back temporarily according to Qing's performance. Aiqing needs to learn this lesson and continue to contribute to the country in the future. ”

"Thank you for your grace!" Yun Zheng and I hurriedly saluted, I sighed, and the big stone hanging in my heart was finally put down.

Coming out of the Qilan Hall and getting into the carriage home, I got into Yun Zheng's arms and hugged him: "Yun Zheng ......"

"I'm sorry to scare you." Yun Zheng patted me on the shoulder, and I said aggrievedly, "You suddenly said that you let the emperor give me the death penalty, which really scared me." ”

"If you don't say that, I'm afraid that the emperor won't let us go so easily." Yun Zheng smiled, "The emperor's purpose is to exploit the right, not our life, I will say nothing, but the emperor will not be able to say anything." ”

"Why don't you tell the emperor that the mining disaster and the riot are all man-made?" I wondered.

"We have no proof." Yun Zheng hugged me tightly, "If this matter is ordered by the emperor, what's the use of saying it?" If not, if a third party intervenes, I don't want to surprise them and let them know that we are alert. ”

I nodded, remembering that I was going to enter the palace to learn the etiquette of the inner court after three days, and bit my lip: "Yun Zheng, do I really want to enter the palace to learn the etiquette of the inner court?" ”

"What the emperor has decided, I'm afraid you can't help but go." Yun Zheng said lightly, "Ye'er, don't worry, I will take care of the master of ceremonies and supervisors, and I won't let you be wronged." ”

"However, I won't see you for half a month." I frowned, not knowing why there was always a faint worry in my heart.

"Half a month will pass soon, and I will find a way to enter the palace to see you." Yun Zheng smiled and hugged me tightly, "Don't worry. ”

Do you really have to worry about it? I smiled and stopped showing my worries on my face. Since it was irresistible, I had to accept it.

Back home, Yun Zheng went to the study, I went back to the room to unload the bulky outfit, just after freshening up, Yun Yi told me that the visitor came to see me, go out to see, it turned out to be safe.

"...... card, Sister Ye." This girl is smart, and immediately changed her words, I smiled and pulled her over, "Long time no see, peace." ”

She has grown taller, her round face has been sharpened, and she is already a big girl. Ping'an pouted and said, "Sister Ye, you won't come to see me when you come back, if it wasn't for the second uncle telling me, I wouldn't know you came back." ”

"It's only been back for a few days, and I haven't had time." I smiled and said, "Anyway, I have to stay in the capital for a while, thinking that there will be a chance in the future, how is this year safe?" ”

"Well, it's not the same as before, if it weren't for the second uncle forcing me to learn those annoying piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it would be better." Ping An stuck out his tongue and smiled mischievously.

"You kid." I smiled and shook my head. It's this surname who is not afraid of the sky and the earth, so he dares to pick up and escape from marriage, right? I'm not going to tell her about the recovery, and the matter that the recovery is currently sheltered by the Yun family, the less people know about it, the better. I only heard Ping'an smile and said: "Sister Ye, I'm not interested in the guqin, but I like the guitar you play very much, why don't you teach me?" ”

"You want to learn that?" I laughed, "Why do you want to learn?" ”

Ping'an's face flushed slightly, and he said with a smile: "I heard my sister sing a song before, I have never heard such a good song, at that time, I thought that I could play the piano and sing like my sister, but unfortunately my sister later went to Cangdu, so I couldn't worship the teacher." Sister, can you teach me well......"

She pulled me to be coquettish, and I laughed and said, "Okay, but I have to go to the palace to learn inner court etiquette for half a month after three days, even if I want to teach you, it will take half a month to pass." ”

"Learn court etiquette?" Ping An was stunned, "Does the emperor want you to learn?" ”

I looked at her fixedly: "How do you know it's the emperor?" "Ping's brain couldn't have turned so fast.

Ping'an's face flushed: "I ......, I guess." ”

"Do you know he's the emperor?" I smiled faintly, a year, a lot can happen, and it is not uncommon for Ping An to know the identity of Yu Gongzi.

Ping An looked at me stupidly and nodded, "Hmm." ”

I smiled and didn't speak, and the atmosphere was a little dull. Ping'an snorted: "Sister, in fact, the emperor ...... in his heart"

"Ping'an, I'm tired, can you go back first?" I interrupted her and smiled lightly, "I'll find someone to make a piano for you, and then I'll teach you to play the guitar when I'm done learning the etiquette." ”

Sending away peace, the mood is a little impetuous. After a few turns around the house, I took out a brocade box from the box, thought about it, and said to Ning'er: "Let Yunyi prepare a carriage for me, I want to go out." ”

It's been a few days since I returned to Beijing, and I haven't taken the initiative to meet my former friends, especially Feng Ge, not because I don't want to see them, but because I'm a little afraid to see them. I don't know if Yueniang still lives with him, I remember that I saw that Wujimen killer Yin ghost in Tieshan County, I'm sure she is Yueniang. Yueniang is still entangled with Wujimen, and she doesn't know ...... Feng Ge, whether she knows it or not. Ping'an's visit touched some of my thoughts, and I suddenly wanted to see Fengge.

The closer I got to Feng Ge's Huanyue Residence, the more nervous I became, and the hand holding the brocade box couldn't help but tremble a little. After getting out of the carriage, I looked at the closed door of Huanyueju, and hesitated for a long time before I stepped forward and knocked on the door. In the middle of the night, someone opened the door, it was Feng Ge's old slave Qiu Bo, I was a little excited: "Qiu Bo, do you still recognize me?" ”

"Ah...... girl, long time no see, are you looking for Childe?" I haven't seen him for a year, and Uncle Qiu is older, but he actually recognized me. I quickly nodded and said with a smile: "Is Feng Ge here?" ”

"Yes, yes, girl, come with me......" Qiu Bo turned and went in. I turned my head and said to Yun Xun and Yun Kun, "You guys are waiting for me outside." ”

"Young lady, how can this be!" Yun Xun hurriedly said, "Our duty is to protect you every step of the way. ”

"Just wait for me outside!" I lowered my face, "No one is allowed to follow up." ”

Stepping into the small courtyard after a year's absence, there is no difference here from a year ago, the woods are still quiet, stepping into the inner courtyard, it is full of yellow, yellow and white jujuhua flowers, the bamboo house is still elegant and quiet, for a while, I feel as if I have never left. On the bamboo rocking chair in the courtyard, there was a person lying with his eyes closed, his white clothes were like snow, and his head was full of silver filaments like snow, I shook my head in disbelief, ran forward quickly, stroked his frosty silver threads, and my hands trembled uncontrollably: "How can this be ......?"

He seemed to sense someone, opened his eyes, saw me, and slowly brought a smile on his face: "You're back." ”

"Feng Ge, how did your hair become like this?" I crouched down and grabbed the silver wire that hung from his shoulder, "Why is this happening?" ”

He smiled faintly: "No matter what, people's hair will always be white." ”

"Don't be perfunctory to me." I looked him in the eye, anxious and angry, "Tell me what the hell is going on?" ”

"Cher!" He grabbed my hand and smiled, "How are you doing?" ”

I looked at his face and knew he wasn't going to say anything to me. looked into his eyes, pressed the doubts in his stomach, and nodded: "Okay, I'm married." ”

"Who is so blessed?" Feng Ge smiled softly, "Is he good to you?" Is Cher happy? ”

"His name is Yun Zheng." A smile tugged at the corner of my lips, "He's been nice to me and I'm happy." ”

"That's good." Feng Ge's expression seemed to be pleased, he stroked the hair on my forehead, and said with a smile, "Our little Xue'er must be happy." ”

My eyes were a little astringent, I couldn't speak anymore, I don't know why, when I saw Feng Ge again, I suddenly felt that he was so far away from me, there seemed to be an invisible river between us, what happened in this year's time?

Sitting in the carriage home, my heart was like a boulder weighing a thousand pounds, heavy, making me feel breathless. The carriage hadn't gone far when it suddenly stopped, and I heard Yun Xun say sharply, "Who is it?" Dare to block the carriage of the Yongle Marquis Mansion! ”

Lifting the curtain, I saw Yueniang standing in front of the carriage expressionlessly, and when I saw me poking my head out, she smiled faintly: "Can I talk to you a few words?" Mrs. Cloud. ”
