Chapter 778: Extras (2)

On the first day of the raid on the Xue family, Yu Shu went to the Xiangfu with Yin Yuanrong, the left commander of the Yulin Army who was in charge of the raid.

On the side of the gate, Yu Shu sat on horseback, wearing a sun-shading hat on his head, watching the officers and soldiers carry out one after another large boxes with seals from the mansion, carry them onto the mule cart and send them to the household for counting. The housekeepers and maids were all tied to a rope with their hands tied, and they lined up to walk out of the gate crying, and finally the master of the house.

Yu Shu hadn't seen Xue Rui's adoptive mother, so he kept an eye on the direction of the gate for fear of missing it. Until she saw a middle-aged woman who looked like a blind woman being helped out by two maids with scattered hair, and was pushed and shoved by the officers and soldiers to go to the prisoner car, she hurriedly turned over and dismounted, walked forward quickly, and stopped the people before they were sent to the prisoner car, waved to the officers and soldiers: "You go to the side first, I will say a few words and then send people away." ”

The officers and soldiers all recognized who she was, looked at each other, and walked away together.

"Aunt Xue?" Yu Shu shouted in a low voice, she looked carefully at Mrs. Xue's yellowed and sickly face, and could vaguely see the similarities with Xue Jinxun on her eyebrows and nose, in fact, the Xue family is not good at handsome men and beauties, Xue Jinxun looks ordinary, but he has not inherited the beauty of his parents, but the dragon and phoenix in such a person as Xue Rui have inherited Yunhua's good looks.

Madame Xue couldn't see who was in front of her, so she took half a step back in panic and grabbed the maid's arm.

"Auntie, don't be afraid, I'm a friend of Brother Xue," Yu Shu didn't report herself, because in the eyes of the Xue family, she is now a shameless villain who harms their family.

She glanced at Yulin Jun who was standing not far away, held Mrs. Xue's arm, lowered her head and whispered: "You don't have to worry about going to Emei Mountain, I will send someone to escort you along the way, and when you get to the Pure Water Nunnery, the old nun there will treat your mother and daughter well, you can stay at ease for the time being, and when the limelight passes in a year or two, I will find a way to pick you out." ”

Xue Jinxun was hidden by her before, and she was just sent to the Criminal Department by her in person yesterday, she has been dotted up and down, no one will embarrass them along the way, as for the Emei Mountain Pure Water Nunnery, she has also found a way, and she will never let them suffer there.

After hearing what she said, Mrs. Xue's expression changed to confused, she hesitated and groped for Yu Shu's hand to grab it, and asked in a low voice, "Girl, who are you?" ”

The Xue family has fallen to this step in the field today, and relatives and friends have long been hiding for fear of being affected, where are there still people who send charcoal in the snow? If this girl hadn't lied to her and could help her during this period, then she must be Chengbi Child's confidante, and she wouldn't have heard him mention it.

Mrs. Xue was the first to think of someone, and she felt that it was impossible, so she tentatively guessed: "Are you - Miss Lianfang?" ”

She didn't get an answer, the warm palms gripped her tightly, and then she let go, only to hear the soft voice become cold and hard, and said to the officers and soldiers in charge of escorting them: "Take the people to the prisoner car, so that they can be sent to the criminal department." ”

The officers and soldiers smiled and said, "Don't worry, my lord." ”

Mrs. Xue reached out and probed forward blankly, but pounced, "Girl, girl?" ”

Yu Shu stepped aside and quietly watched Mrs. Xue get into the prisoner car, and then quietly led the horse and left. Not far away, Yin Yuanrong, who was dressed in a strong suit, leaned against the old tree outside the gate of Xue Mansion with his arms crossed, and when he saw this scene, he raised his eyebrows quite interestingly, and muttered to himself:

"The mouth of the green bamboo snake and the needle on the tail of the wasp, both are not poisonous, and they are the most poisonous women's hearts. How would Xue Chengbi feel if he knew that the woman he liked personally sent his family to prison for the sake of glory and wealth. ”

In July, Emperor Zhaoqing was buried in Longquan Zhaoling, as the fourteenth emperor since the founding of the Da'an Dynasty, he reigned for 15 years to be generous and benevolent, and the hundred officials in the court dared to give direct advice, although there were no great achievements, there was no poverty and luxury, only mediocrity.

The crown prince returned to Beijing from the funeral of Zhaoling, and three days later he was proclaimed emperor, changed the year name to Chongzhen, and the enthronement ceremony was scheduled to be held two months later.

Emperor Chongzhen dismissed the harem left by the emperor, and all the concubines who had children were sent out of the palace to live in the old age, and those who had no children were sent to Longquan County to guard the mausoleum, and in the end it was just a lonely ending.

The first Empress Rui was promoted to the Empress Dowager and moved from Qiwu Palace to Cining Palace, while Emperor Chongzhen's biological mother, Empress Guifei Xue, was enshrined as the Queen Mother of the West, and was transferred from Zhongcui Palace to Ziwei Palace with a quiet environment, just on the west side of the Taimiao, it is said that Empress Dowager Xue injured her body when she gave birth to the Nineteenth Princess and needed to recuperate, so she chose such a remote corner to live.

One day, Yu Shu suddenly received an edict from the palace in Si Tianjian, and the Empress Dowager Xue announced her to enter the palace.

This is the first time Yu Shu entered the harem after Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, walking on the deserted palace road, her mood has already been calm like water, the little yellow door leading the way turned his head to peek at her from time to time, accidentally touched her cold eyes, shrunk his head in fright, and walked forward with his head stuffy and never dared to look back, as if she was some kind of man-eating monster.

Yu Shu knows that her reputation is not very good outside, how many people poke her backbone behind her back and say that she is unscrupulous, relying on revealing the Xue family to get a big appreciation, stepping on other people's heads to climb up, and accusing her of being ruthless and unrighteous with Xue Rui. She knew very well in her heart who was secretly stirring up these rumors, but she didn't care. Now that her reputation is good or bad, it doesn't matter if her reputation is good or bad, and with real power in her hands, she has long passed the stage where she needs to be famous to gain a foothold, and no matter how many people's spittle stars can't drown her.

After walking a long way, she came to the gate of Ziwei Palace, and she was greeted by Song Lan, the palace maid beside Empress Dowager Xue in the past.

"Lord Yu, please." Song Lan hung her head and couldn't see her face clearly, but Yu Shu could feel her coldness. omitted the step of searching the body and sitting on the incense, and Yu Shu was quickly brought to the Empress Dowager Xue.

The renovated atmosphere of Ziwei Palace is spacious, but it is not as luxurious as Zhongcui Palace, the empty Xuan room, the Empress Dowager Xue with light makeup leaning on the long couch, is still lazy and extravagant, but there is a little more beauty in the twilight.

"The female minister meets the Queen Mother, and the mother lives long and Jin'an." Yu Shu put one hand on his abdomen, the other behind his back, bowed reservedly, and did not make a big salute. She is now a member of the third rank in the court, in addition to the need to kowtow to the emperor in front of her, in the face of harem concubines and concubines, even if it is the queen mother, you don't have to kneel.

"No courtesy."

Mrs. Xue looked at her expressionlessly and bowed down and looked up, revealing a snow-white face, and the next moment, she was caught by the red flame in the center of her eyebrows, and she was slightly trance-like, and she actually thought of the Hibiscus Gentleman's Banquet in the Dingbo Pavilion that year, and her short-lived appearance.

There is no shortage of amazing women in this world, one is because the skin of beauty makes people's hearts, and the other is because of the unique temperament that makes people's hearts broken.

"Dare to ask the Queen Mother why Xuanchen entered the palace?"

Empress Dowager Xue retracted her senses, and said with a cold face: "This palace just wants to see with your own eyes the shameless villain who framed my Xue family. ”

"The minister is terrified." Yu Shu confessed his sin without changing his face, met her frost-like eyes, looked at her haggard face, and said in a low voice: "Thinking too much is the most hurtful thing, and the Queen Mother Wanwang takes care of her body for the sake of the saint and the little princess." ”

She can understand the mood of the Empress Dowager Xue, seeing that her son became the emperor, but crossed the river and demolished the bridge to get rid of her mother's family, she is a virtual queen mother, and she has worked hard to get to this point, it is better to be a favorite concubine when the emperor is alive to gain power. She can't resent the emperor's biological son, so she can only pin her resentment and unwillingness on her, an outsider.

Yu Shu had no intention of clarifying for herself, but Empress Dowager Xue would not let her go, and said sarcastically at the moment: "Chengbi is really pitiful, he treats you deeply, and this palace has long seen it in his eyes, but unfortunately he has no eyes, and he mistakenly treats the femme fatale as a beauty, and he can't see your wolf heart and dog lungs." ”

After the accident in the Xue family, she never had the opportunity to meet Xue Lingnan, let alone learn the truth. So she stubbornly believed that the Xue family was slandered, and Xue Rui did not take refuge in King Dong Jing at all. In her eyes, Xue Rui is still her brother Xue Soap's biological flesh and blood, and she is her favorite Chengbi nephew.

Yu Shu was willing to let her misunderstand, let her sneer and ridicule her, and in the end, let people drive her out. In this way, she comes and goes, and she is completely regarded as a tool for catharsis.

Yu Shu suffered once, but she didn't have the good temperament to suffer the second time, but Empress Dowager Xue called her into the palace and scolded her at every turn, and she mentioned one thing to her before leaving-

"The Queen Mother is in a secluded place, probably haven't heard the news outside, three days ago the Holy Weifu was assassinated in a private visit, the assassin confessed that it was the instigation of the King of Xiang, and the King of Xiang was arrested in the Zongzheng Division the day before yesterday, but unfortunately the minister was one of the several interrogators appointed by the Holy Lord."

Needless to say, Empress Dowager Xue's short-momentary change of face has already told Yu Shu that she understood the warning hidden in her words, and she will no longer treat her as a soft persimmon who swallows her anger in the future.

"The Queen Mother rests in peace, and the minister retires."

Yu Shu was relaxed when he came, and even more carefree when he left. Xue Lingnan and King Xiang fell into the legal net one after another, Empress Dowager Xue's handle was grabbed by her in the palm of her hand, and there was no one who could threaten her life in the entire Anling City, so she didn't have to live trembling anymore.

It feels so good to be so unscrupulous.

Yu Shu walked out of the palace briskly, left the palace, and returned to Si Tianjian. It was in the middle of the afternoon, she shook her fan into the courtyard of Kunling Bureau, and saw a person coming out of the building in front of her, greeted her, and greeted her with a stiff smile.

"Lord Yu."

It was Cui Xiuyi, the adjutant of the Astronomical Bureau, Yu Shu stood still, and the little official behind her who was holding an umbrella to shade her also stopped, she picked her chin and looked at him and said:

"Master Cui is fine, what are you doing here? Have you saved enough money to pay off the debt? Cui Xiuyi's daughter Cui Xin gave her an IOU to repay the debt, so she asked her for money, and took the opportunity to blackmail Cui Xiuyi into Cui Xiuyi's several things for her.

Cui Xiuyi said with an embarrassed face: "The official will definitely return the money, but I came to find Lord Yu today, but I have something else to ask for." ”

Yu Shu glanced at him more, guessed what he was doing, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile: "If it is for the position of the female imperial official below me, don't mention it, I already have a candidate in my heart, and I will recommend her to take office in the near future." ”

"Ah," Cui Xiu was disappointed, stunned for a moment, and was about to beg for another with a cheeky face, but Yu Shu bypassed him and walked inside, not giving him a chance to intercede at all.

He was too embarrassed to go up again, so he had to walk away unhappy.

Yu Shu entered the building, Wen Shaoan stepped forward to take the fan in her hand, brought her a cup of cool plum tea, looked outside, and said to her, "Master Cui is gone?" ”

"Hmm," Yu Shu drank cold, exhaled comfortably, looked back at Wen Shao'an and sighed: "If you are a woman, it will not be the turn of others to sit in the position of this female imperial official." ”

Wen Shaoan smiled: "Adults don't have to comfort me, I'm already very content to have today." Then he asked her, "What did you say to Master Cui?" ”

Yu Shu held his chin and said lazily: "What else can I say, he must want to beg me to recommend his precious daughter, I don't have time to pay attention to him." ”

Cui Xin is indeed a talent, but her bad thing is that she has a holiday with Yu Shu, and she helped the county lord of Xiwen to deal with her with bad ideas. Although time has passed, Yu Shu doesn't take those people in her eyes now, she can not blame the past, but she will not repay her grievances with virtue, and she is stupid enough to raise tigers.
