Zhu Zhiling got off the Fuxing Platform and was ordered to go to the Laiyi Palace, and it took more than an hour to come out. Seeing her gloomy face, the palace maids who accompanied her didn't dare to ask more, and carefully helped her into the soft sedan chair.

Suddenly, Zhu Zhiling asked, "Where is the horse now?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, the horse is on the moon tower behind the Fuxing Tower, and His Royal Highness has sent someone to ask when you will go back."

Zhu Zhiling nodded and said, "Then let's go back now." ”

I have to say, boundless, I hope you don't blame me.

Returning to the Guanyue Tower, ascending to the high platform, Zhao Wuyin was already waiting there. When he saw his wife, he helped her to sit down.

"I sent someone to Yingze Hall to pick you up from the court, but I heard that you were called to Laiyi Palace, why did you go for so long, and you haven't eaten yet?"

Zhao Wuyin was just about to get up and call the palace maid, but Zhu Zhiling stretched out his hand to stop him.

"Wuyun, don't be busy with the meal first, I have something to say to you."

Zhao Wuyin wondered in his heart, since Lu Wenchi was dead, was there anything bad about it? Seeing his wife's solemn expression, he had no choice but to sit down.

"Wuyun, my mother told me in Laiyi Palace just now, since Lu Wenchi is dead, I want you to fill the vacancy of the Hubu Shangshu. First, my mother thinks that you are very careful in taking care of the household, and second, ......" Zhu Zhiling said while looking at her husband's face, "Second, ...... Since the Nanhua gold sale case is an unjust case, your father's death should be compensated, and you take over Shangshu, which can be regarded as a son inheriting his father's will, and can comfort his soul in heaven. ”

Zhao Wuyun became more and more puzzled, this is all a good thing, why is his wife a little hesitant to say it. He asked vigilantly, "It's good that she can think like this, why are you so embarrassed?" Isn't it...... What other conditions does she have. ”

“…… As you know, the Nanhua gold sale case was personally adjudicated by my imperial grandmother back then, and it attracted the attention of the whole country. If you suddenly rehabilitate your father, it will be tantamount to telling the world that the emperor's grandmother and her old man had misjudged her. I, the Zhu family, have always been famous for contemplating people all over the world, but now that right and wrong are suddenly born, the royal family is not disgraced, and my mother thinks this is very inappropriate. Zhu Zhiling frowned, and said with some lack of confidence. She knew that as soon as these words came out, they would definitely touch the most taboo Lei Chi in her husband's heart.

Sure enough, Zhao Wuyun's face changed, and he sneered: "I said that your mother is so kind, she will promote me to take charge of the household department when she opens her mouth, but it turns out that she is just a bait." If I eat this bait, she will want to put an end to the unjust case of the year, so that I will never mention it again, right? ”

"Immense!" Zhu Zhiling glanced at him with deep eyebrows, and reproached: "It's very rare for my mother to have such a temperament and let me discuss it with you." If she is left alone, where is there room for maneuver in her holy decree? ”

Zhao Wuyin's eyes were full of hatred, and he said harshly without any hindrance: "Fortunately, I am not an outsider, but the concubine of Her Royal Highness Princess Qingyu, so your mother is kind and gives me room to maneuver, and it is still for your face, right?" ”

"Immense!" Zhu Zhiling was so sarcastic that her chest was on fire, but she still suppressed her anger and defended: "You know I didn't mean that. ”

"What does that mean?" Zhao Wuyin was already furious, "I tell you clearly today, even if your mother gives her room to maneuver, it has nothing to do with you!" Because this is the debt that your Zhu family owed back then! My father's injustice, my mother's suffering, all have to be repaid! ”

Zhu Zhiling finally couldn't help it, and said sharply: "Zhao Wuyun, I also tell you clearly that my mother's mind has been decided, and she will know it tomorrow in the Yingze Palace." The Nanhua gold sale case is over, she promoted you to Shangshu, and there will be no change if you accept it or not. She only needs a holy decree tomorrow, what can you do?! ”

Zhao Wuyun was drunk by her, and suddenly felt that his qi and blood were surging, as if he had entered an ice cave, and thousands of hatreds in his heart choked on his throat. He took a few steps back and said loudly, "Good! Good! Man is a sword, I am a fish. Since I don't have the ability to wash away my father's grievances, and since you are bent on teaching me a lesson for her, then I can only admit it. But...... Three years ago, I was not afraid of your mother, do you think I will be afraid today? That's it, so there's no need to say more. You and I will be scattered today! ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked quickly towards the railing of the high platform. Zhu Zhiling listened to his words, knew what he meant, and when she saw him moving, she immediately saw her eyes and hands quick, and stepped forward to grab him.

Zhao Wuyun wanted to break free, but Zhu Zhiling was already holding on from behind him with all his strength, where could he break free.

Zhu Zhiling couldn't help crying: "Why are you so hard. Lu Wenchi is dead, what my mother wants to give you now, you will accept it. What she doesn't give you, I'll give it to you in the future. When he takes me on the throne, how difficult can it be to rehabilitate your father? Why do you have to fight for this moment? I am four months pregnant, and now I am physically and mentally exhausted, and I am doing my best to do my best to do things on Nanhua Island, even if you don't think about it, you should think about it for the child in your belly. If you jump, what is all this that we have endured so far? Isn't that a waste of all your efforts? ”

As soon as Zhao Wuyun heard the child in his womb, Fang Cai's confidence was reduced by half, and then he felt sore, and he couldn't help leaning back on his wife's body.

Zhu Zhiling's eyes were full of tears, and she said faintly: "Since I was a child, I have always leaned on you, and now you will let me support you once, okay?" As he spoke, he turned her husband around, wiped her tears with the corner of her sleeve, and persuaded softly: "Wuyan, listen to me, I'm holding my stomach now, it's very inconvenient." Now that the household department is ours, the next agreement between me and Emperor Na Wen will take some time, just a few months after Taoguang has been in obscurity. You can bear with it a little longer before the child lands, okay? There was a pleading in his eyes.

Zhao Wuyun looked at her for a long time, and Fang sighed bitterly: "I just want to say it badly, what can I do?" ”

* * * * * *

In the back garden of Qinghui Palace, Xiao Bei, Princess Yinquan's personal maid, was sitting in the pavilion chatting with an old palace maid from Laiyi Palace. Since the last time this old palace maid inadvertently told Xiaobei where Zhao Yuzhi's tomb was, she would always come to Qinghui Palace every other month. Sometimes it's just small talk, and sometimes the two exchange things for themselves. After half a year, the two have become very acquainted.

"You have leisure again today, I am not as blessed as you", the old palace maid always looked envious of Xiaobei's more comfortable life than her

"In the past, I was quite idle, and this master of mine was considerate of me, and he didn't ask me to do the little things of serving tea and pouring water, but today I was avoiding her." Xiaobei did not shy away from what he said.

"How?"

Xiaobei approached the ear of the old palace maid and lowered her voice and said: "The princess was fine when she went out yesterday, but when she returned to the palace, she was like losing her soul, and she didn't like anything." I hurriedly told the little palace maids that I was sick, but I couldn't pass my illness to the princess and let them serve me. ”

"Yo, what's going on? The one in my palace is too, saying that he is depressed, and the golden wisps of incense were added twice in one night, and I was so smoked that I hid outside the palace. The old palace maid looked very puzzled, "Could it be that ...... Yesterday the two sisters went out for a walk and quarreled? ”

Xiaobei looked around, and said mysteriously: "I heard that the two of them went to Fuxingtai together yesterday, and then, what did they meet, who participated in a book, and what did the one in the household department do, Princess Yinquan said that this person should be killed, and His Majesty will not kill it, and then it will be done." ”

When the old palace maid heard this, she suddenly became energetic, "Oh, you said this, I know this." It was Lu Wenchi from the household department, who killed Zhao Yu decades ago, and yesterday an incident in the east window was exposed. I also overheard His Majesty talking to Princess Qingyu at the root of the window. ”

Xiaobei suddenly realized and said, "No wonder I said why my princess is so unhappy." She has never been too lazy to care about the affairs of the court, but Zhao Yu is different, if he was really killed, then the princess must not chop Lu Wenchi with her own hands? ”

The old palace maid shook her head and said, "You said that your princess is angry about this?" That's not necessary. That Lu Wenchi committed suicide by taking poison last night and died in prison. ”

Xiaobei was taken aback: "Is this true? ”

"How is it not true, this morning Princess Qing Shark came to Your Majesty with her stomach up. I was on the side of the temple, and I heard it all. ”

Xiaobei was a little unconvinced, and glanced at her: "Your Majesty didn't ask you to go out of the palace to discuss such a major event?" ”

"What about going out of the hall, don't look at my eyes, but my ears are very good." The old palace maid looked triumphant.

"And what else did you hear?" Xiaobei held the old palace maid's hand tightly, and her eyes were very longing. This old palace maid knows a lot, and she has to set her words well.

The old palace maid was very generous, and said with a smile: "I heard Your Majesty say, I don't want to connect too much, and the horizontal and vertical people are also dead, what kind of crime do you have to treat." ”

"But he is dead, Zhao Yu is still lying in the tomb without a wordless monument, how can Princess Yinquan give up. You don't know her character, if she gets annoyed, I'm afraid that His Majesty will let her too. Xiaobei raised her eyebrows, as if she was a little worried, but in fact, she was afraid that the world would not be chaotic.

The old palace maid smiled: "I don't know the character of your princess, but I know the character of Your Majesty." In the eyes of His Majesty, it doesn't matter what is black and white, the most important thing is the royal face. If this is to overturn the case for Zhao Yu, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the emperor and say that the emperor judged the wrong case? Then she would never allow it. ”

Xiaobei listened disapprerovingly, and snorted coldly: "If you don't believe me, let's make a bet today to see if Your Majesty can have the upper hand in this matter, or let my princess go." ”

The old palace maid laughed ghostly and said, "This bet, there is no need to fight." Although Her Majesty is the princess's own sister, she must be Your Majesty first. Don't talk about it, even when the emperor and His Majesty discussed the affairs of Her Royal Highness Princess Yinquan together, they also put the royal face in front of them and kept your princess in the dark. ”

When Xiaobei heard this, how could she let it go, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" Did you put the princess in the dark? ”
