Chapter 157: Comeback
Bei Liangye bowed and replied: "After two days of processing the chapter, Erchen found that the position of the emperor is really not easy to do, and he also realized the hard work of his father's daily life, so he thought about coming to see his father." ”
"The prince can understand my difficulties like this, I am really gratified."
Although he said words of comfort, there was no expression of relief on the emperor's face, as if the two of them were just saying some innocuous words.
Bei Liangye didn't see it, and continued: "Erchen really feels sorry for your father's body, so he specially sent someone to find the best tonic to come over, hoping that your dragon body can get better as soon as possible." ”
"Oh? Could it be that the crown prince doesn't want to continue to supervise the country? The Emperor asked suspiciously.
"It is naturally undesirable to be able to share the worries of the emperor for the emperor, but the ministers hope that the emperor's body can get better as soon as possible and return to the court." Bei Liangye's attitude is sincere, and every sentence comes from the bottom of his heart.
The emperor squinted his eyes and looked at his face for a long time, and said, "Sooner or later, the crown prince will sit in my position, don't you want to be familiar with these businesses earlier?" ”
"Erchen doesn't dare, Erchen only hopes to assist his father, as for the throne, Erchen knows that he is too far behind his father and is far from competent."
Bei Liangye straightened his back and faced the emperor, his face was calm, even if the emperor wanted to find a little flaw in his face, there was no way.
"Let's discuss this matter in the future, I'm tired, if there is nothing to do, the prince will go to the morning court tomorrow, go back and rest early."
What Bei Liangye wanted to say had already been said, and there was no need to stay any longer, so he said goodbye and left. It's just that I don't know if what I said just now had the slightest effect in the emperor's heart.
Since the Xiao family was condemned, they have entered the palace almost every once in a while to ask to see the emperor, especially during this time, when they learned that the emperor's health was not good, the Xiao family tried every means to please him.
"Your Majesty, this is a famous medicine that Weichen specially found a famous doctor in the Western Regions, and I heard that after taking it, all diseases can be removed and longevity can be prolonged."
Lord Xiao held the box of medicinal herbs in both hands and knelt in front of the emperor's bed.
"Lord Xiao really has a heart."
The little eunuch beside the emperor immediately took the box of medicinal herbs and helped the emperor up.
"Where is Your Majesty, this is what Wechen should do, before Wechen was confused and did something to make His Majesty angry, Wechen is really ashamed."
Lord Xiao was almost in tears, shaking his head and pounding the ground in annoyance.
After all, the Xiao family is everyone, with a deep foundation in the imperial court, and its status is naturally very important, if something really happens to the Xiao family, I am afraid that it will involve a wide range of people, and when the time comes, it will not be beneficial to the imperial court.
Therefore, from the very beginning, the emperor didn't really want to move the Xiao family, but he just wanted to use this matter to sharpen the edges and corners of their Xiao family, so that he could learn a lesson and do things more measured in the future.
"Xiao Aiqing has been an official in the court for so many years, and there has never been such a thing, I believe that you are confused for a while."
Before the emperor could finish speaking, Lord Xiao immediately kowtowed heavily and said: "The emperor is wise, the old minister is indeed confused for a while, and after being bewitched by the foreign princess, the old minister will definitely stay awake at all times in the future, and will not make the same mistake again." ”
At the moment, the foreign princess is no longer in Da Chen, and it doesn't matter what he says, besides, it is also true that the foreign princess has a different heart.
After he finished speaking, the emperor continued: "However, this mistake is a mistake after all, if I know that the officials have made mistakes and do not punish them, then how can I win the hearts of the people in the future, Lord Xiao, do you say?" ”
Lord Xiao was slightly stunned, did the emperor plan to forgive himself or not?
"Yes, Your Majesty, you are right." He had no choice but to echo respectfully.
"But don't worry, Lord Xiao, I know in my heart that Lord Xiao is still loyal to the imperial court." The emperor's expression was much softer than just now, as if he had indeed forgiven Lord Xiao.
Lord Xiao was overjoyed in his heart, and hurriedly thanked: "The emperor is wise, thank you for Your Majesty's trust in the minister, and the old minister will definitely not let Your Majesty down again in the future." ”
The emperor said a few more greetings, which was nothing more than to let Lord Xiao have a good long memory and not make any more mistakes in the future, and then drove Lord Xiao out on the grounds that he was unwell.
However, there was never any mention of restoring Lord Xiao's official position.
Lord Xiao came out of the emperor and did not leave the palace directly, but quietly went to the East Palace.
"Why did my father come here all of a sudden?"
Xiao Luxi saw Lord Xiao's face nervous, she had suffered a lot of white eyes and gossip in the palace recently because of the Xiao family's affairs, if someone saw Lord Xiao coming to her, I am afraid that gossip would be indispensable, and if it was seen by Bei Liangye, it would be even more troublesome.
Lord Xiao calmed down a lot and said, "Don't worry, daughter, my father just came back from the emperor, and the emperor has reused me again, so you don't have to look at people's faces in the palace in the future." ”
"Really?" Xiao Luxi was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Has my father been reinstated?" ”
"This ......" Lord Xiao's face was slightly stunned, and said: "This is not true, but the emperor has already said that he will no longer blame his father, and has said a lot of comforting words to me, although I have not been restored to my position yet, but it is a matter of time." ”
Lord Xiao is very confident, with his current power, even if the emperor doesn't want to restore his official position, he has a way to make the emperor do this, this is just a matter of one step earlier and one step later, and what he has to do now is to collect the Xiao family's edge first, and wait for this matter to calm down.
He told Xiao Luxi these thoughts, and asked her to stop in the palace in the future, and stop doing things that would make others grab the handle.
Xiao Luxi is a woman who is very good at hiding her edge, she did this when she first arrived in the East Palace, and now she is just going back to her former self.
"I know my father, my daughter will remember your words and will not bother you anymore."
Although this incident has affected the Xiao family, Xiao Luxi has also learned a lesson in this, and she will definitely be more careful in the future, especially in the matter of dealing with Ruan Wanwan, she will not fall into their trap so easily.
She believes that with her father's ability, the Xiao family will soon make a comeback, and at that time, it will not be too late for her to come out and settle accounts with those who persecuted her and the Xiao family.
So, from this day on, Xiao Luxi began to eat fast and chant Buddha in his courtyard, and he didn't step out of the gate, and he was polite when he saw Bei Liangye and the other side concubines in the East Palace.
Although Ruan Wanwan felt strange when she saw this, she thought that the Xiao family had been demoted, and she didn't think much about it, so she didn't think much about it.
Now Bei Liangye was overwhelmed by the affairs of the previous dynasty, as long as they didn't trouble him in the backyard, she was already thankful.
