Chapter 33: The eldest lady saves the slave and maid

"The courtiers have seen the emperor." As soon as she came in, the eldest princess saluted Li Yiqian in a proper manner.

"Aunt, please, I wonder why my aunt is asking to see me at this time?"

"Back to the emperor, the courtiers knew that they shouldn't have appeared in the court, and this time they came, it really involved the courtiers' husbands, and the courtiers had something to say." The eldest princess did not show a cowering posture at all because she was surrounded by officials, but was generous and decent, quite royal and dignified.

"My aunt has something to say."

The courtiers heard Father-in-law Mu say that it was Vice General Zhang who came to report Wu Yan to the enemy that day, and thought to herself, now that Vice General Zhang is guilty of slander, the general will inevitably be implicated. Inevitably, there was turmoil in our Chinese army, and the courtiers came to intercede. After speaking, ignoring the surprise of everyone present, the eldest princess just looked at the ground quietly.

"Intercession? Does the princess know that the general almost caused General Zhaohui's head to the ground, isn't it because the princess will not be implicated, so the princess can say the words of plea so calmly? Aren't you afraid of General Zhaohui's chills! ”

Hearing this, Zhao Jing was still the first person to stand up and refute. Although the eldest princess is married, she still belongs to the clan, and other people who are not enough naturally dare not speak, so he, the Duke of An Guo, can only come out in person.

After thinking for a while, Li Yiqian spoke.

"Auntie, have you thought about it?"

"Yes. The general fought on the battlefield back then, so that we have our current border peace, and later he retired due to the recurrence of old injuries, which is the credit of Wu Yanzhen guarding the border pass. If the general is injured because of a person's malicious provocation, that is the sorrow of my country! Therefore, the courtiers believed that even if they were husbands, they would not blame the general. ”

The eldest princess's words ushered in the echo of a crowd.

"Since my aunt and all the ministers believe that the general's fault is not in this matter, then I will no longer pursue the general's fault. It's just that the general still needs to think twice in the future, and he can't fall for the tricks of the spies again! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." After Liu Shiyuan finished saluting Li Yiqian, he looked deeply at the eldest princess, "Thank you, eldest princess, I am ashamed of you." ”

"The general doesn't have to be polite, this is what this palace should do as a royal person." The eldest princess smiled at Liu Shiyuan.

"Yang Ling, you go back and release Wu Yan immediately, and ask your aunt to take care of it."

"In addition, General Zhaohui suffered a lot of grievances in this case, and he has guarded the border pass for many years, and he has contributed to our country, so he named General Zhaohui Wu Yan as Chang Ningbo, still stationed at the border pass, and set off in ten days."

After the next dynasty, the eldest princess Zhiqin did not leave the palace, but went to the Qiangong.

"Your Majesty, why didn't you take the opportunity to take Liu Shiyuan in one fell swoop today, but instead asked me to intercede for him?"

It turned out that when Mu Xiu went to get Deputy General Zhang before, he had already told the eldest princess to let her enter the palace to intercede for Liu Shiyuan, and this was the scene of Fang Cai.

"Auntie, please sit down, why should my aunt be angry." Li Yiqian was very calm.

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten what you said to me at the beginning? You said that it would change the atmosphere of Huaguo and turn Huaguo into a truly prosperous country, don't you remember? ”

"Auntie, I never dare to forget my original words, but Liu Shiyuan was not so easily pulled down. Last summer, General Shoe sent me a letter telling me that I suspected that there were spies from other countries around me, and that I had summoned you all back to Beijing at the end of the year. asked him to find a chance to get drunk and test it, but he didn't expect someone to show his feet. The last time General Zhaohui delivered the news to me, I had people check it, and Vice General Zhang and Liu Shiyuan had already corresponded with each other, and Vice General Zhang had contacts with the people of Lan Kingdom. Auntie, do you understand what that means? ”

At the mention of Lan Guo, the eldest princess was stunned. Li Yiqian continued.

"Xiao Muzi found the ring engraved with the Lan Guo pattern from Vice General Zhang's luggage, which is the pattern that appeared on the envoy's suit, aunt, do you understand?"

"This ...... Is Vice General Zhang an important figure in Languo? The eldest princess couldn't believe it.

In Languo, the patterns that can be used by different classes are different, and it is a great sin to rebel against the user. The pattern on the envoy's uniform is available to the royal family except for the mission's visit, so that the identity of Vice Admiral Zhang is revealed.

"If I could, of course I would like to get rid of it in one fell swoop like I did when I punished the Chen family, but Liu Shiyuan has a deep foundation, and he is not a person like the Chen family who only knows how to fight and make enemies in the Manchu Dynasty."

"The reason why I didn't move Liu Shiyuan is because the time has not yet come. If I forcibly convict him at this time, then he will probably use his prestige in the military to make trouble, and at that time, I will be very passive. In addition, if he really had dealings with the people of Lan Kingdom, the consequences would be unimaginable. So, does my aunt understand? Li Yiqian's words were serious, without the slightest impatience.

"If that's what you say, it's really not appropriate to touch him at the moment." The eldest princess was thoughtful.

"This matter was discussed between me and General Zhaohui, so my aunt doesn't have to worry too much. As for the Criminal Department, it is still in my hands in the end. Sooner or later, I will fulfill my vows. Li Yiqian's face was confident.

The eldest princess looked proud.

"Good! Good! Qian'er has really grown up, you have more courage than the royal brother! ”

thought that although his imperial brother was also dissatisfied with the atmosphere in the court, he was too powerful because the strength of the generals was too strong, so he could only let it happen in the end. I didn't expect that my nephew was much stronger than his father, and I guess I would be able to see that the people of the Li family would no longer be hindered by others in my lifetime.

"Yan'er, I hope my aunt will take care of me." As he spoke, Li Yiqian saluted the eldest princess.

"Qian'er, what are you doing here?" The eldest princess hurriedly avoided it.

"Aunt remembers that day, I said that I had no intention of Yan'er, but Yan'er insisted on entering the palace, and even asked for death, so I had no choice but to agree. Now, I have found someone I want to be with for the rest of my life, but I'm afraid that I can't live with Yan'er, and I hope my aunt will understand. ”

Thinking of the events of that year, the eldest princess was also full of helplessness. It's just that when it comes to the daughter who is difficult to give birth to, I can only say more.

"In this way, the two of you have no fate, and if you can't force it, I will persuade her. It's just that when everything settles, I hope that the emperor will let Yan'er leave the palace, and don't let her die in the palace alone. ”

In the end, the eldest princess's voice was already a little hoarse.

"Auntie, don't worry, I won't treat Yan'er badly. Even if she leaves the palace in the future, she will not be wronged. Li Yiqian made a guarantee.

——————

In less than a day's work, what happened in the early dynasty had spread all over Huajing.

Most of the people are praising the eldest princess and her husband for their generosity for the sake of the country, so Liu Shiyuan's prestige in the hearts of the people has naturally decreased a lot.

Among the students, some people speculated that this was originally a plan set up by Liu Shiyuan, in order to kill General Zhaohui and take his military power. For the sake of the stability of Huaguo, the eldest princess had no choice but to let him go. The high righteousness of the eldest princess and her husband also made everyone admire.

——————

And in the harem, it also caused a series of reactions. As for the rumors of Lin Yaxin's murder and blame, not many people cared about it, after all, a lot of people died in the palace every year, not to mention which concubine had no human life in her hands?

Compared with this kind of "common thing", it is naturally the virtuous concubine whose father has newly promoted to the position of earl and holds military power is more concerning.

Early the next morning, Tsinghua Palace welcomed guests.

"Congratulations to my sister and father for being able to show snow." As soon as Zhou Yunqing entered the door, she congratulated Wu Yuyan with a smile.

"Thank you, sister." Wu Yuyan has suffered too many grievances these days because of her father's affairs, and she is also very worried in her heart. Now that her father is finally fine and has won a knighthood, the depression accumulated in her heart has been relieved a lot, and her face looks a lot ruddy.

"Sister, do you know that yesterday Prime Minister Wang openly contradicted the general in the court, I really don't know where a civil official has the courage to dare to go against the general!"

"Oh? Is it? Maybe I can't see it. ”

Wu Yuyan naturally knew about yesterday's incident, presumably Concubine Shu mentioned it to her father, and Wu Yuyan took this matter to heart.

"Also, the general is indeed too much, how can he frame people!" After speaking, Zhou Yunqing secretly looked at Wu Yuyan's expression.

Who knows, Wu Yuyan just smiled lightly and didn't answer.

After talking for a while, Zhou Yunqing felt bored and left.

In the Qiangong Palace, Li Yiqian naturally knew what Zhou Yunqing said in the Qinghua Palace.

Hum! I knew that this was dishonest, and I wanted to keep her for a few more days, but I didn't expect to rush to find death, so don't blame me for doing it first.

Signaling Mu Xiu to step forward, Li Yiqian ordered him to go out and do things.

That night, an embarrassed red rose knocked on the door of Yuquan Palace.

"Miss save me!"

As soon as she entered the house, Hongmei knelt down at Lin Yaxin.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Yaxin is very strange, shouldn't Hongmei follow Lin Yayin out of the palace, how could it be......

"Someone wants to kill the slave maid, beg the eldest lady to save me!" Hongmei kept kowtowing, hoping that Lin Yaxin could save her life.

"You stop and explain what the hell is going on."

Zixing hurriedly held down Hongmei, after all, Hongmei is also a descendant of the Lin family, and she is naturally very familiar with Zixing, but she is just with a different master.

The slave maid followed the second lady to the Fuyun Palace, and someone came to kill her that night and knocked the slave unconscious. Later, when the slave woke up, she heard that the second lady was dead, and she was very panicked, and she was afraid that the person would find out that the slave maid, so she didn't dare to come to the eldest lady for help until tonight. Ask the eldest lady to save the slave and maid. ”

Although what Hongmei said was very simple, Lin Yaxin had already roughly guessed what happened. If someone wants to kill Lin Yayin, planting it for himself should be only one aspect, and more importantly, it is necessary to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. However, this also just shows that Lin Yayin's madness was indeed deliberately done by someone.

However, since the murderer can think that Lin Yayin is dead, then there should be someone else in the Floating Cloud Palace that night, and it seems that Qian is very thoughtful.

It's just a red rose, which is a bit difficult to deal with.
