Chapter Ninety-Seven: Punishment
As soon as the news of the Yongding Marquis father and son breaking into the Eighth Prince's Mansion at night came out, the court was shocked.
Unexpectedly, the eighth prince was so ruthless, although he agreed to marry the third mother of the Mu family on the surface, he secretly sent someone to assassinate her, which is really outrageous.
Rumors spread overnight, and there were different opinions.
The impeachment of the Eight Princes continued to pour into the case of Emperor Zhaowu, and Emperor Zhaowu was so angry that he threw all the twists and turns on the Eight Princes who came to ask for guilt, and said angrily: "If you don't want to marry the third mother of the Mu family, you don't have to agree to this family business, since you personally came to the door to ask to marry her, why did you do such a stupid thing?" ”
dared to send someone to the house to take the life of the Mu family Sanniang, he never knew that this son was so bold and reckless.
"Father is angry, that Li Yinghe is a guard in the Erchen Mansion, but the Erchen really didn't let him go to the Mu family to assassinate Sanniang, and the Erchen is really wronged." Huangfu Chen knelt on the ground in a daze, and defended, "Erchen and the three mothers of the Mu family are in love and have the same heart, how can Erchen send someone to assassinate her?" ”
What the hell.
His original plan was to marry Sanniang into the palace, and then take the opportunity to assassinate Erniang to vacate the position of the concubine, and then secretly ask to marry the granddaughter of General Su as the concubine, but before his order could be issued, such a thing happened.
That Li Yinghe, who was hit by a thousand knives, was kicked in the head by a donkey and ran to assassinate the Mu family's Sanniang, who the hell told him what happened!
Even if he had a plan to murder Mufu Erniang, he would never be so blatantly assassinated, poisoned, or accidental, he would be able to kill people, and he would not be stupid enough to send dead soldiers to other people's mansions.
"Now that the evidence is conclusive, do you dare to say that you are wronged, are you so easy to fool when you are the Marquis of Yongding?" Emperor Zhaowu continued to point at his nose and scolded, "Now even the Queen Mother has quite a complaint, saying that you dare to murder the daughter of an important minister of the imperial court, you have no royal law, and you have to seek justice for the Yongding Marquis Mansion, you say, what should I do about this matter?" ”
"Erchen, Erchen is willing to go to the Yongding Marquis Mansion to explain this matter, and bear the guilt, I just hope that it will not affect next month's wedding." Huangfu Chen frowned.
Now, if something like this happens, it is naturally impossible for him to send someone to assassinate Erniang, so he has to marry into the mansion first.
It's just that last night, the four Yongding Hou father and son had a very tough attitude and didn't bother to think about it, I was afraid that it would be difficult to recover the situation.
"Hmph, you're still thinking about next month's wedding?" Emperor Zhaowu sneered, "Do you think the Yongding Marquis Mansion will still marry Erniang to you?" ”
"Ask your father to be the master of your sons." Huangfu Chen kowtowed again and again, "Erchen doesn't want to lose this family business." ”
Looking at the nobles of the capital, except for the Muguo Mansion, it belongs to the Yongding Marquis Mansion with the highest prestige, although he wants to kick the two boats, but he does not want to offend the Yongding Marquis Mansion in his heart.
"This family business of yours was given by the Queen Mother, what is the result, you go to Ci'an Palace to ask the Queen Mother yourself." Emperor Zhaowu blackened his face and brushed his sleeves away.
Huangfuchen was helpless, so he had to go to Ci'an Palace to ask for guilt with anxiety, and naturally he was scolded again, and at the end, the Queen Mother sighed, saying that Mrs. Yongding Houfu had come, saying that Erniang and Sanniang were frightened last night, and they were both bedridden, even if they got better in the future, I am afraid that they will also leave a shadow in their hearts, and it is difficult to continue with you, so forget about this family business!
Huangfu Chen was naturally extremely reluctant, and simply knelt down in Ci'an Palace, saying that he was actually framed, not to deliberately harm Mufu Sanniang.
The Queen Mother ignored herself.
Huangfu Chen had no choice but to cheekily go to the gate of the Yongding Marquis Mansion and ask to personally apologize to Mrs. Tai, but unexpectedly, the door of the Yongding Marquis Mansion was not opened, and the depressed Eighth Prince had to return in a huff.
In order to appease the resentment of the ministers, Emperor Zhaowu still ordered Huangfu Chen to immediately set off to Gan, Yu, and Wan Sanzhou to inspect the border on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and he was not allowed to return to Beijing without an edict.
Gan, Yu, Wan Sanzhou is located in a remote area, with a small country of South Vietnam as a neighbor, the two countries are bounded by the Linfeng River, there is no big war on weekdays, civil conflicts and disputes are endless, and there are often group fights, which makes Daliang once very headache.
Now, the pampered Eighth Emperor Emperor Fu Chen was sent to such a wild place, which can be regarded as punishing him heavily.
Just because of this effortlessly drove the Eighth Prince out of the capital, the grandfather Xia Yan immediately treated Situ Kong as a guest and treated him differently, when Xia Yan asked how the guard Li Yinghe in the Eighth Prince's Mansion could work for Situ Kong, Situ Kong laughed and said that money can make ghosts grind, as long as there is silver, there is nothing that cannot be done.
Grandpa Guo was relieved, and heard from the person who introduced him that he had served as a Xixi seat in Jingzhou, so he also asked him to guide the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting of the ladies in the mansion at the Guogong Mansion, Situ Kong knew that Xia Yan was actually testing his talents, so he naturally readily agreed.
Shiokaze Pavilion.
Mu Lin sat in front of the dresser, looking at the pale and haggard face in the mirror attentively, the corners of her mouth twitched, there were no tears, she never expected that Huangfu Chen would send someone to kill her, and she didn't believe it, she actually hoped that it was a misunderstanding, how could he harm her......
But then she heard that his relationship with his sister had also withdrawn, and she began to believe it a little.
Thinking of the lingering love between the two of them when they were together before, her heart was like a knife, it turned out that from the beginning, he didn't plan to marry her, it turned out that from the beginning, this relationship was a mistake.
Originally, he didn't belong to her!
Now, she has become the laughing stock of the entire capital, the joke after tea and dinner, and the thorn in the side of everyone in the house, sad, really sad!
Only, what did she do wrong?
She is just in love with a man, but that man has become her brother-in-law, she is just unwilling to give up her beloved man to others, so she is obsessed with meeting him, she doesn't think there is anything wrong with her!
Now, everyone spurns her for robbing her sister's husband, but she thinks that her sister robbed her man, why should everyone blame her and sympathize with her sister?
If that's all she has, she will endure it, as long as she can marry him, what's the point of being wronged?
But what she couldn't accept the most was that he sent someone to assassinate her, and she loved him so much......
Mu Lin smiled bitterly, turned her head and instructed the newly transferred little girl: "Come and comb my hair, today is my good day." ”
Yes, today should be the day he marries her.
The little girl carefully stepped forward to comb her hair and makeup, and the pretty face in the mirror also became charming little by little, the hairpin ring between the temples shone with colorful light in the skylight, and the concubine-colored wedding dress was embroidered with exquisite patterns, which she had stayed up for a few nights, embroidered stitch by stitch, but he would not see it again......
On the side of Muying Hall, a room full of people was sitting.
The people in the second room are also there.
"Now that Erniang and the Eighth Prince have retired, this matter is over." Huangfu sat on the big kang by the window, looked at everyone a little tiredly, and said, "Let me control the mouths of the people in their respective rooms, what should not be said, don't chew the root of the tongue, no matter who is right and wrong, the reputation is damaged by our woman's side, after a year and a half, everyone will forget it, and when the time comes, our second mother will not worry about finding a lover." ”
Although this matter was expected for a long time, but now, it has really happened, and her mood is naturally very heavy.
originally thought that the family affair given by the Queen Mother must be a good fate, but he thought that he not only looked at the moon in the water, but also trembled with fear.
"Mother is very right." Liu Shi glanced at her mother-in-law quietly, her eyes flickered for a moment, and she said disapprerovingly, "Speaking of which, it is a family matter given by the Queen Mother, and I am anxious to marry Erniang, in fact, our Erniang has just reached the end of this year, and she is not too old, and it is not too late to stay for another two years." ”
Erniang is just a fifteen-year-old woman.
Sanniang and Siniang are the same year, both fourteen years old.
Only Wu Niang was the youngest, only twelve years old.
Indeed, the ladies in Mufu are not big.
Shen Qingli couldn't help but sigh, speaking of which, they are only half-grown children, but they have to go through so many complicated and intricate things, no wonder people in ancient times were precocious!
"My brother and sister are right, it's not too late for our daughter to stay for another two years." Su Shi echoed wildly, "Recently, everyone has tried to go out as little as possible, after all, it is not a glorious thing to withdraw from relatives, and your family has to avoid suspicion when you go out." ”
In fact, she said this to the Liu family, in the end, it was a woman from a small family, her eyes were low, and her mouth was still broken.
"Yes, Dalang's daughter-in-law should not go back to her parents' house recently, so as not to ask her family, it is not answered, and it is not answered if you don't answer." Liu Shi said in a kind manner, "After all, the Guogong Mansion is full of people. ”
"The second aunt can just control the people in her yard, and my mother's side won't worry about the second aunt." Xia Shi said with a displeased face, "Besides, this time, my mother's family has not contributed less, they all know the cause of the incident, and they still use it to pull me to ask long and short questions?" ”
If it weren't for the fact that the grandfather of the country and the ministers were on the table, how could things be so smooth!
Speaking of which, the Yongding Marquis Mansion is still wiped out with the Guogong Mansion!
At this critical moment, don't you have to rely on each other?
"Da Lang's daughter-in-law is right, this time thanks to Grandpa Guo." The Huangfu clan snorted coldly in his heart, this time the Guogong Mansion was so concerned about this matter, it was just to take the opportunity to expel the eighth prince from the capital, so as to consolidate the strength of the crown prince, thinking of this, he looked at the Su clan again, and ordered, "After the lord goes down to the court, you will discuss and discuss a family banquet, and invite your in-laws to express your gratitude." ”
"The daughter-in-law obeyed." Su Shi smiled and asked again, "Mother, it's just a family banquet in the house, do you want to inform Tong Gongzi, he is still living in the inn!" ”
"Naturally, he wants to call, let him come to the house." Only then did the Huangfu family remember that Tong Jingyi had not left, and couldn't help frowning, there have been a lot of things in the house recently! R1152
