Chapter 222: How about I give you a chance to atone for your sins
"Hmm." Mohe nodded and replied: "After the emperor list was posted that day, I saw that the prince had not returned to the house, so I guessed the reason, so in the past few days, my subordinates have secretly installed some people to pretend to be foreign students to blend into the city, and everything is just waiting for the ceremony to start tomorrow." ”
Mohe knew that the reason why Su Yitong chose to make a big fuss at this juncture was because he knew that there were spies in the court, so he found a reason to take advantage of their unpreparedness to attack them by surprise. Although the facts are as Su Yitong predicted, in Mohe's opinion, Su Yitong's IQ is really underconsidered. Even if she knew things like a god, she would never have thought that they would do something at the ceremony.
In the past, she had no power in her hands, so she never dared to easily let those ministers do things for her. But now it's different, if the person they installed this time successfully passed her examination, entered the court through her hand, and became the person she trusted, wouldn't that mean they could know more?
Thinking like this, Mohe suddenly felt that Su Yitong was not so powerful.
"That'll be fine." Liuli bowed his head, and said in a warm voice: "Tomorrow, whether it is sunny or rainy, the talent recruitment ceremony will be held on time." Mohe, you go and let them prepare now, no matter what, you must pass Su Yitong's examination. As for the father-in-law, you can send a message out and let our people withdraw. Now that we are employing people, all of them will be sent out to find people, but they will startle the snake. Rather than that, we might as well sit still and wait. ”
"Wait?" Mohe was stunned. "Where's the sir?"
"Don't worry. Thinking that my father-in-law hasn't been in touch with us for so long, he must have his own thoughts. What's more, Su Yitong's people are now keeping an eye on him, once he shows up in the capital, she will definitely take the Prime Minister's Mansion or Yang'er to force her father-in-law to show up. So, what we have to do now is wait and see what she wants to do. Liuli slowly walked to the window of the study, suddenly reached out and pushed the window open, and looked at the sky outside.
"Childe, your clothes ......"
The cold wind kept coming in, and when it landed, it blew the soaked robe on Liuli's body and made a hunting sound. Mohe was taken aback, as if he had just discovered something unusual about Liuli, and said hurriedly: "Why don't you change your clothes and come back, you don't know how to take care of your body like this, how can you be born if you are accidentally infected with the wind and cold." ”
There were water stains spreading all the way along the place where Liuli walked, and Mohe looked at it and suddenly felt worried. Childe acted like this, how could he not know what his intentions were. Today, most of the ministers of the DPRK and China are imprisoned in the prison, and they will only be disposed of after the end of the ceremony. Therefore, Su Yitong can be said to have very few people who can use it now, and it is at a time when there is a shortage of people. Therefore, once the son falls ill, all the burdens of the talent ceremony will fall on her head, and at that time, she will be busy dealing with all kinds of matters of the talent ceremony, so as to hastily screen the talented people in the field and end this so-called talent ceremony. In this way, the people they have placed will be able to pass through smoothly.
"It doesn't matter." Liuli Wu lowered his eyes and looked at the hem of his clothes that were still dripping with water, and couldn't help but whisper: "Go, let this palace stay in Shangshu Mansion for a while, and then go back to the house when Yang'er's condition is better." Speaking of this, he seemed to suddenly think of something, his voice froze, and after a while, he continued: "In addition, let the official family clean up the West Chamber." ”
"Clean up the West Wing? Why? Mohe was about to leave, but when he heard the words, he couldn't help but turn around, and looked at Liuli with puzzlement and asked.
Liuli glanced at him, the corners of her lips hooked slightly, and then said: "Maybe there will be distinguished guests in the mansion tomorrow, and it is good to prepare early." ”
"Oh." Mohe couldn't understand the deep meaning of Liuli's words, and couldn't help but reach out and scratch his head when he heard the words, and was thinking about whether to ask one or two more questions, but when he saw that the sky outside had darkened for some time, he had to give up, turned around and carefully walked out of the study according to the footprints made by the two when they came.
The heavy rain did not stop until the second half of the night.
During this period, Wei Changyang repeatedly had a high fever, and he didn't get better, so in the second half of the night, the Shangshu Mansion of the Military Department was still brightly lit, and people kept coming in and out.
Liuli stayed in front of Wei Changyang's couch until dawn out of worry, and waited until the doctor told him that Wei Changyang's fever had subsided, and then he slowly exhaled a breath. Then he tilted his body, fell to the ground, and fainted.
Early the next morning, the heavy rain stopped, the clouds and mist dispersed, and the sky was just right.
On this day, Su Yitong got up exceptionally early, and actually changed the problem of lying in bed in the past, got up early before dawn, and freshened up and changed clothes under the service of the palace people.
Although the ceremony was held temporarily, due to the cumbersome process, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites was afraid that Su Yitong would not follow the rules and etiquette after arriving at the ceremony, so he entered the palace on the fifth watch day to ask to see Su Yitong, and then held a book on the precautions required for the ceremony to nag in front of Su Yitong. Hearing this, Su Yitong was one head and two big, and he ordered on the spot to exempt all the cumbersome matters required for etiquette.
Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites was stunned at the scene, and his hands holding the books were even more angry and trembling, and he stared at Su Yitong in a daze for a long time, and then flicked his sleeve robe and left the palace in a huff.
However, Su Yitong was in a good mood today, so he didn't care about his rudeness and let him go.
Today's south city gate seems to be particularly lively, as if the people in the city are looking forward to this rumored talent ceremony, and they began to consciously line up under the makeshift ring before dawn.
The emperor's presence at the ceremony was the first time in history. Therefore, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department took people to dredge at the gate of the southern city from the third watch day to prevent the flow of people from accumulating and accidents.
At this end, Su Yitong was still casually eating breakfast in the Jardine Palace, but at the end of the South City Gate, it was already full of people, crowded with people.
"Shadow two." Su Yitong finished breakfast, and just thought about letting the second generation of the film go out of the palace for a trip, and let Prime Minister Liuli wait to pick him up. However, she had just called out the name of Shadow Er, and Shadow Er seemed to know what she was going to say, and looked at her and said unhurriedly: "The prime minister just asked his guards to send a message, saying that it was raining last night and accidentally contracted the wind and cold, and I am afraid that I will not be able to participate in the talent acceptance ceremony today, so let Your Majesty make his own decision." ”
"Caught in the cold?" Su Yitong couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and said suspiciously: "Could there be such a coincidence?" Could it be pretended? ”
"Probably not pretended." Ying Er said: "I heard that since the prime minister and Miss Wei left the palace yesterday, Miss Wei has contracted a cold as soon as she returns home, and she has a high fever at night, which is very noisy. Cheng was worried about Miss Wei's safety, so he stayed in front of Miss Wei's bed, probably thinking about waiting for Miss Wei's high fever to subside before returning home, but he didn't expect Miss Wei's high fever to subside, and he himself fell ill. ”
"Speaking of the affairs of Shangshu Mansion, how do you know so clearly?" Su Yitong looked at Ying Er suspiciously.
Ying Er turned his head slightly to avoid Su Yitong's inquiring gaze, and cleared his throat uncomfortably: "Didn't you always let Ying Wei stare at the Prime Minister's Mansion and Shangshu Mansion?" You're going to freshen up, Eichi told me. ”
"Eichi has entered the palace?" As he spoke, Su Yitong's brows furrowed even tighter. "Then why didn't you tell me?"
"Ying Yi said that today's talent recruitment ceremony, I was afraid that there would be a sudden incident, so I ......" Ying Yi paused, and then said: "He also hurried to the scene to arrange it, so he left." ”
Just gone? Su Yitong's eyes widened immediately, and he yelled at Ying Er angrily in dissatisfaction: "Lao Tzu found that you people are capable now, and you don't take me as a master in your eyes anymore, what's the matter, do you still want to go back to the General's Mansion to be a secret guard for Jun Moxian, what's the matter, my words are not as effective as Jun Moyan's fart." ”
"The subordinates don't dare." When Kageji heard this, he immediately knelt on one knee, hung his head, and shook his body to plead guilty.
"Don't dare? Lao Tzu, I see that you dare very much. Su Yitong was so angry that he rolled up his sleeve robe and took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to poke Ying Er's head and said: "Lao Tzu told you, Lao Tzu will leave the words here today, you, you, and Ying Ge, if you don't want to follow Lao Tzu, you can go to the border city to find Jun Mo's death, Lao Tzu will never stop you." ”
Listening to Su Yitong's mouthful, Ying Er couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth, and then, his shoulders shrugged, as if he was trying his best to hide something.
Su Yitong caught a glimpse of him out of the corner of his eye, and his eyes froze, flashing a gloomy look. She looked at Eiji condescendingly, gritted her teeth word by word and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”
"No ......"
As soon as Su Yitong's words were asked, Ying Er was angry, only to see him laughing with his chest against his back, waving his hand at Su Yitong again and again, and said, "I didn't laugh at anything...... Ha ......"
"Really?" Looking at Ying Er's undisguised smile, Su Yitong didn't get angry, and raised his foot and kicked at Ying Er's heart.
Ying Er subconsciously dodged sideways, and then retreated to the outside of the Jardine Hall with a somersault, smiled, and leaned on the threshold to show half of his head and looked at Su Yitong aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, do you want to ......?"
"I want your uncle." Su Yitong raised his foot and was about to take off the shoes on his feet, but remembering that the time to leave the palace was approaching, he had no choice but to put down his feet, looked at Ying Er and said viciously: "Ying Er, you wait for Lao Tzu, and I will clean you up when Lao Tzu comes back." ”
At this moment, a sound of eager footsteps suddenly came from outside the hall. Immediately afterwards, Su Yitong heard a eunuch shouting outside: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the time to leave the palace has arrived." ”
Su Yitong quickly caught the two words eunuch flashing in her mind, as if she suddenly remembered something, and before the palace people entered the palace, she turned her face into a jade silk, and smiled at the second brother and sister: "Shadow Er, how about I give you a chance to atone for your sins?" ”
