Chapter Fifty-Six: Feeling Unwell
"Dry~"
The two of them had some heartfelt words. Unconsciously, Lin Yaxin fell asleep. Li Yiqian gently carried her to the bed and helped her change her clothes.
Lying on the bed, Li Yiqian felt the steady breathing of the people around him, and his heart was settled. In this life, as long as you are there, I can do anything.
Thinking of Lin Yaxin's happy appearance, thinking of the unborn child in her womb, and thinking about what happened after the overall situation calmed down, Li Yiqian gradually fell asleep.
The next day, there was another war of words in the court over the matter of Lin Qingxu and Liu Qu.
"Your Majesty, the minister found out that there was indeed a conflict between Lin Qingxu and Liu Qu on the street yesterday. According to the people nearby, Lin Qingxu was walking on the street with his followers, and suddenly Liu Qu came out without saying a word, and took someone to do something to them. Later, he also reported that his family name was Liu Qu of the General's Mansion, so that he could brighten his eyes a little in the future. Yang Ling told the truth what he had found.
"According to the law, what should it be?" Li Yiqian doesn't seem to care about this.
"Lin Qingxu is already famous, and he can enter the court as an official if he is admitted to the Jinshi in the future. Although Liu Qu is the youngest son of the general, he has no official position. And Lin Qingxu was seriously injured, and according to the law, he should be sentenced to exile. ”
Yang Ling was Li Yiqian's person, and the reason why Li Yiqian took a fancy to him at that time was that he dared to say anything and do anything. Even if he knew that Liu Qu was Liu Shiyuan's youngest son, he dared to say the correct punishment.
When Liu Shiyuan heard this, he was immediately angry.
"Your Majesty! The old minister has something to say! ”
"Oh? If the general has anything to say, he might as well say it bluntly. Li Yiqian motioned for him to continue, he wanted to see what tricks they could play.
"Your Majesty, the minister asked Qu'er after returning to the house yesterday. He did beat Lin Qingxu, but all of this was done for a reason! Qu'er also did this out of breath! ”
"What happened? I don't know why Liu Qu is so bold and reckless, and he dares to blatantly fight against people with meritorious names in the capital! Li Yiqian's anger was not a joke, he was really angry at Liu Qu's behavior, which was obviously not taking him seriously.
"Your Majesty, everything happened half a month ago. That day, Qu'er returned to Beijing from other places and almost bumped into an old man, he had already apologized, and gave the person Yinliang to grab some medicine and go back to suppress the shock. But Lin Qingxu didn't give up, he had to kneel down to her before letting him leave, and he humiliated Qu'er more. At that time, there was only one person in Qu'er, but Lin Qingxu used money to bribe the people around him to stumble on Qu'er with him. ”
"It's easy to get out of there with Qu'er's martial arts, but he can't bear to hurt innocent people. In the end, while he was not paying attention, Qu'er ran out. What the emperor knows, Qu'er has been pampered by her family since she was a child, how could she have suffered such a great humiliation! At this time, he was angry and took someone to Lin Qingxu, one was to avenge himself, and the other was to look at his arrogant behavior, Your Majesty! ”
If it weren't for what he saw and heard with his own eyes that day, and knew the truth of the matter, Li Yiqian might have really hesitated. But now, he just wants to admire his uncle's ability to reverse black and white.
"I wonder if there is any evidence for what the general said? You can't just rely on the general's mouth to exonerate Liuqu! Before others could speak, the prime minister couldn't stand it anymore and questioned him directly.
To say that the prime minister is the head of the civil officials, the general is the head of the military generals, and the status of the two is equal, but the style of the court in China has always been heavy on military and light on literature, which led to the result that Liu Shiyuan pressed Wang Song everywhere. The two had long since fallen apart, and it was not abrupt for him to ask this question at this time.
"There is evidence, there were many people present at that time, and all of them can testify, please let the emperor know it!" Liu Shiyuan was not annoyed, but insisted on his own statement.
Seeing Liu Shiyuan behave like this, Li Yiqian knew that he must have already arranged it. In this case, wouldn't it disappoint them if this play didn't go on?
"The case was jointly collected by the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, and after collecting evidence, it was openly interrogated in Dali Temple. It's just that, don't let me know that someone has done something to it, otherwise I won't spare it! ”
"Obey the order."
For some reason, Liu Shiyuan felt that Li Yiqian already knew the truth of the matter, and even knew that he had done something. He couldn't help but ring the alarm bell in his heart, carefully recalling every step of this matter.
When there was an endless debate about this matter in the court, Liu Yuyang also brought people to the Queen Mother's Fushou Palace.
"I've seen my aunt." Liu Yuyang saluted obediently.
"Get up quickly, come and sit here." The Queen Mother waved her hand at Liu Yuyang and motioned for her to come to her.
"Why did Yang'er remember to come to see the mourning family today? Isn't there something going on? The Queen Mother asked with a smile.
"Auntie, look at what you said, can't Lu'er come to see you if you're fine? This is too heartbreaking. Liu Yuyang was coquettish to the Queen Mother.
The Queen Mother is also in her forties, living in the deep palace for a long time, and Li Yiqian is very busy with political affairs, so she rarely can accompany her. Only Liu Yuyang often comes to see her, although she knows that she has her own little abacus, but their purpose is the same, and the Queen Mother just turns a blind eye and just doesn't find out.
"Haha, it's the mourning family who said it wrong, Yang'er is busy serving Qian'er all day long, and he can often think of accompanying the mourning family, he really has a heart." In any case, Liu Yuyang did accompany the Queen Mother to pass a lot of boring time.
"Auntie, I heard from my father that Qu'er injured someone, and the emperor seems to be severely punished! Yang'er was very worried about her younger brother, so she came to beg her aunt and wanted you to ask the emperor to intercede. After chatting with the Queen Mother for a while as usual, Liu Yuyang began to get to the point.
"Qu'er injured someone? Who? Is Qu'er injured? The Queen Mother asked worriedly, for this youngest nephew, the Queen Mother is still very fond of her.
When she was still the queen, Qian'er had grown up at that time, and she no longer liked to stick to her as much as before. In addition, she is not young, and the emperor's favor for her is far less than before. happened to be born, and at that time, the sister-in-law often took Qu'er into the palace to accompany her. It can be said that Qu'er also grew up under her watch, and her love for him is no less than that for Qian'er.
"Auntie, don't worry, Qu'er is fine. The conflict with Qu'er was Lin Yushi's son Lin Qingxu. He was seriously injured, and now I heard that the emperor is asking the people from the Criminal Department to investigate this matter! I also heard my father say that they humiliated Qu'er first, and Qu'er was angry before beating him. You also know that Qu'er's martial arts are not a problem at all against ordinary people. What's more, it's a weak scholar. Liu Yuyang said while looking at the Queen Mother's face.
"Yesterday, Lin Yushi sued the emperor and said that he wanted our Liu family to give an explanation!"
"Presumptuous! Even a third-grade civil official dares to provoke the General's Mansion! "I heard that the other party was a civil official, and the Queen Mother was even more displeased. Like other people from military generals' families, she dislikes the literati the most. Now when I hear that someone dares to ask for justice from her mother's family, isn't this a slap in her face?
"Aunt is angry! I believe that the emperor will not be deceived by their one-sided words, but poor Qu'er will inevitably be punished. As he spoke, Liu Yuyang pressed the corner of his eye with a handkerchief.
"Don't worry, the mourning family will not let them do anything wrong, dare to be fair, and see if they have that life!"
"Aunt, don't be too embarrassed, then Lin Qingxu is Xin Zhaoyi's brother-in-law. The emperor has always favored Xin Zhaoyi, and he will severely punish Qu'er for her, and yesterday the emperor stayed in Yuquan Palace, maybe...... Don't hurt the mother-son relationship between you and the emperor for this matter. Liu Yuyang was very "intimate" and persuasive.
"Xin Zhaoyi? Hmph, it's just a Zhaoyi, and I still want to turn the sky upside down in the harem! Come on, go and pass on Zhaoyi! When the Queen Mother heard Xin Zhaoyi's words, she immediately felt uncomfortable and asked people to call her.
"Is it true that when you are pregnant, you can have no fear? The mourning family doesn't understand any etiquette at all when she sees her! ”
Originally, the Queen Mother was still very happy that Lin Yaxin was pregnant, but these days I often hear Liu Yuyang inadvertently talk about her badness, plus she is pregnant but has been domineering Li Yiqian, which makes the Queen Mother's impression of her much worse. What's more, this matter involved her favorite nephew Liu Qu, and she was even more angry.
——————
Hearing that the person sent by the Queen Mother was out asking to see her, Zixing had some bad premonitions in his heart.
"Niangniang, I don't know if the Queen Mother will ......be summoned at this time" Zixing was a little worried, the eldest prince had just had an accident, and the results of the treatment had not yet come out. The Queen Mother summoned at this time must have been for Liuqu, wouldn't her own young lady go into the mouth of a tiger?
"If you don't wait for the emperor to come back, let's go again, when the emperor is there, I think the queen mother won't embarrass you too much." Purple Star came up with an unlikely idea.
"No, how can the Queen Mother's summons be delayed?" Even if Lin Yaxin knew that this trip would not be very good, he could not openly disobey the Queen Mother's orders.
"Zixing, you go and ask someone to prepare a sedan chair." After speaking, he motioned for Zixing to go out.
"Mama, what do you think of this?" Lin Yaxin looked at Mama Lu on the side.
"You must go, otherwise you will give people a grip, and it will be bad for your mother. It's just that if the mother is unwell before leaving, no one can say anything. ”
"It's not proper, the Queen Mother summoned her and said that she was unwell, and it was fake at first glance, and the Queen Mother wouldn't believe it." Lin Yaxin immediately shook her head when she heard this, and denied Mama Lu's idea.
"Niangniang, the slave maid means that you are indeed sick, but not now, but when you are about to leave, you are not feeling well. Everything happened in front of the people sent by the Queen Mother, and at that time, she must have a judgment. Mama Lu's eyes flashed with wisdom.
"When I was about to go, I didn't feel any difference." Lin Yaxin was a little puzzled, and she didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Mama Lu's gourd.
