Chapter 348: I Say Autumn Wins Spring Dynasty (7)
But when she saw those palace maids leaving mysteriously, Du Yuexi had a treacherous smile on her face, she didn't believe that under external pressure, Mu Shengbai would not let her go in to see her father, as long as she saw her father and regained her father's favor, even if Du Weizhen and Du Yueyan wanted to deal with her, they would have to think about it.
Thinking about it, Du Yuexi became more and more proud, and the more often she took advantage of her leisure to find some ladies she knew, high-ranking ladies and nobles to enjoy the flowers, and then pretended to say it casually.
A turmoil is quietly brewing, and it is not a lie that the three of them have become tigers, and I don't know how many heroes have been lost under the tongue of traitors throughout the ages.
Within a few days, not only the palace, but even many ministers outside the palace heard these things from their daughters, and because Emperor Jingyuan or was imprisoned by Mu Shengbai and Du Weizhen, it was from the mouth of Princess Xi'er, who was favored some time ago, it became a little more credible.
Even some loyal ministers were suspicious of Du Weizhen, and even directly asked Emperor Jingyuan about his safety and when Emperor Jingyuan would be able to restore his reign.
Du Weizhen explained that not long after Emperor Jing Yuan woke up, his body was weak, and he was too tired to deal with the government, so he let him rest for a while.
But those ministers were not so easy to deal with, they were unrelenting, saying that if Du Weizhen did not come up with some evidence, they would have to doubt the credibility of the news that Emperor Jing Yuan was under house arrest.
No matter how good Du Weizhen's temper was, he couldn't help but be upset when he was besieged by those ministers, so he left without saying a word and leaving with a cold face, and waited until the Jinluan Palace to start sorting out his clothes and expressions.
After calming down, I thought that my father had not been to the court for many days, and those old ministers were understandably worried.
Thinking about it like this, his expression immediately eased, and after he went in, he saw Emperor Jing Yuan leaning on the head of the bed reading a book, Mu Shengbai told him to rest more, but occasionally reading a book can also relax his mind and recover faster.
Especially at this moment, Emperor Jing Yuan's face is less violent and gloomy before he fell into a coma, and the whole person seems to be reborn, adding some of the softness of the past, but it is really like his father when he carefully taught him to study.
Du Weizhen's heart softened, and he came over to help him tuck the quilt, and asked with concern: "Father feels better today?" ”
Emperor Jing Yuan saw the sincere worry on his son's face, and also smiled, moved his body inside, and motioned for him to sit on the edge of the bed, and the father and son now have rare respect.
"I am worried about Lao Zhen'er, Shengbai's medical skills are superb, and my father can get out of bed today."
Emperor Jingyuan didn't say it, but he was also grateful for Mu Shengbai's kindness in his heart, and his title changed from Mu Shengbai, who was full of dissatisfaction and rejection, to a cordial Shengbai.
Du Weizhen was also overjoyed to hear this title, and told his father about the content of the book he was holding, and the father and son exchanged views, and the atmosphere in the inner palace was very happy for a while.
If Du Weizhen originally wanted his father to go to the court tomorrow to appease those ministers who were not at ease, but now he thinks that he should let his father rest for a while longer, and as for those ministers, he can still delay for a few days.
But when Du Weizhen got up to say goodbye, Emperor Jing Yuan suddenly said: "When Shengbai came to deliver medicine to me this morning, I heard that there were some bad rumors outside. ”
This raw white. Du Weizhen didn't know whether he was angry or moved, the reason why Sheng Bai did this must not be that he wanted him to be wronged in vain.
"That's true, but don't worry, Zhen'er will solve it, and my father's top priority is to take care of his body."
Hearing his son's ironing words, Emperor Jing Yuan was even more relieved, and for the first time, he felt annoyed at his too paranoid behavior in the past, and he felt even more distressed for this wronged son.
"I think I haven't been to the court for two months, and I miss those Aiqing who always give me a headache, so it's better for my father to meet them tomorrow."
"Father." Du Weizhen's eyes widened in surprise, he knew that what his father said about the meeting was not a summons, but that he had decided to go to the court, but "Father, your health is not yet well." ”
"Hey" Emperor Jing Yuan waved his hand, pretending to be displeased, "I also came on horseback back back then, but now I don't go to the court because I'm not feeling well, won't I become a faint king in the eyes of everyone?" Zhen'er doesn't need to say more, I have been thinking about it for a long time. ”
Du Weizhen didn't want to argue with Emperor Jing Yuan, even if he was still worried about his body, he wanted to pay more attention tomorrow, and then left.
The next day, Emperor Jing Yuan really went to the court, although his face was pale, much thinner than before, and his face was still sickly, but his eyes were shining, and he didn't want to be imprisoned. In particular, Emperor Jing Yuan also counted down several ministers who suspected Du Weizhen in public, saying that they were red-faced, and they came to Du Weizhen to apologize one after another.
Du Weizhen was magnanimous and did not want to be pursued.
Because he felt that the time was not right, he did not mention the restoration of Mu Shengbai's official position. And Emperor Jingyuan didn't seem to think of this, and just sent Mu Shengbai some rewards and a holy decree full of beautiful words.
But Mu Shengbai didn't seem to think that there was anything wrong, and he still tried his best to personally regulate Emperor Jingyuan's body, and secretly investigated whether there was someone behind the ministers who accused Du Weizhen of imprisoning Emperor Jingyuan in the court the day before yesterday.
The results were good, it turned out that they were just misled by rumors, and since this was the case, they had nothing to worry about.
Soon, Emperor Jingyuan's health was completely healed and he was restored to the upper court, and at the same time, the gate of Mu Mansion was reopened, and Mu Sheng was reinstated.
On the day when the Mu Mansion reopened, Mu Shengbai held a banquet in the mansion, this is not an ordinary banquet, after all, how many banquets in the world can be attended by the great prince who is above 10,000 people under one person today? In addition, the eldest prince has a faint tendency to be promoted to the crown prince, and Mu Shengbai is also more famous because of his attention.
On the day of the feast, the delicate and luxurious carriages listening outside the mansion blocked the entire road.
Without Du Chenliang making trouble from time to time, Du Weizhen assisted Emperor Jingyuan alone, handled political affairs in an orderly manner, and the court became more and more stable, Mu Shengbai naturally had fewer things at hand, but he didn't have much time to stick to the pile of books, all because he had a beautiful woman as his companion.
Du Yueyan ran to Mu Mansion twice in three days, and thanked Lord Mu for the emperor's brother, and then dragged him around the imperial city, enjoying all the beautiful scenery, and tasting the delicacies in various alleys.
This was the most leisurely and unforgettable time in Mu Shengbai's days in the imperial city, not only because there was no pressure on his shoulders, but also because he was accompanied by the woman he recognized as a woman who walked his life hand in hand.
