Yang Xiaoyu smiled slightly, he knew that Princess Shouning was a daughter, and it was not easy to speak out, so he took the lead and said: "Princess, Concubine Zheng's case was investigated by Yang, this case is even more serious than the court attack case of the year, the minister is just a petty official, and he is soft-spoken, I am afraid that he will not be able to help the princess too much, but please rest assured that Yang has already pleaded with the emperor, I believe that the emperor will look at the minister's face and treat the concubine lightly, and ask the princess to wait for a few days." ”

Princess Shouning listened to the previous words, thinking that Yang Xiaoyu would not help her, but when she thought that the peak would turn around, Yang Xiaoyu had already pleaded with the emperor.

These days, she went to the palace several times to ask to see the emperor, but was blocked by the guards.

Although the other princes and ministers agreed to help Zheng Guifei speak, she could see that there were only two people who could help her mother, one was Yang Xiaoyu, a close minister of the emperor, and the other was Fang Congzhe, the auxiliary minister of the court.

When she was in Yangzhou, she felt that Yang Xiaoyu would not be a person who had lived under the people for a long time, and she would definitely do something in the future.

Now, she has confirmed her vision, Yang Xiaoyu is really not an ordinary person.

"Lord Yang, according to your words, can the concubine be safe?" Princess Shouning frowned slightly and asked.

"Princess, the murderer was found in the Concubine Palace, and the murder weapon also appeared in the Concubine Palace, the two palace maids insisted that the concubine instructed them, and there are all the evidence and material evidence in this case, and it is difficult to want the concubine to be safe and sound!" Yang Xiaoyu shook his head and said.

Princess Shouning asked anxiously, "Then what should I do?" ”

"Don't worry, the princess, the emperor was frightened by the assassin and has not yet recovered, and in another ten days, the minister will make a statement to the emperor again, and strive for the emperor to forgive the concubine and give the concubine a chance to mend her ways. I believe that the emperor will not care about the face of the princess and the blessed king, and at most he will confide in the concubine. ”

"Confinement?"

Princess Shouning whispered: "The mother concubine is already unhappy in the palace, if she is imprisoned, the palace is worried about the mother concubine!" ”

"Rest assured, the princess is only short-lived, and it will take a few months. The minister made a little merit, and took the opportunity to say a few good words to the emperor for the concubine, and the emperor was angry, and he would let the concubine out, and then the palace was like a cage, and the concubine stayed in her palace to recuperate. ”

Princess Shouning breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and said softly: "Whether this matter is successful or not, this palace is grateful to Lord Yang for speaking up." ”

"The princess's business is Yang's business. Yang can have today, all thanks to the princess's recommendation, this kind of grace Yang remembers. Yang Xiaoyu said politely.

After finishing business, the two were silent for a while, and neither of them knew how to speak.

After a while.

Yang Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Princess Yang takes care of the four maidservants. ”

"I can't talk about thanks, Miss Xu, they are smart and exquisite, and they helped the palace a lot when they were in Nanzhili, so I want to say thank you. It should also be this palace to thank them. Princess Shouning chuckled softly.

Yang Xiaoyu chuckled, although Princess Shouning was sitting opposite him. But in addition to being able to see Princess Shouning's eyebrows and spring. Eyes, he couldn't see anything else, which made him somewhat regretful.

Right now, Princess Shouning is working hard for her mother Zheng Guifei, and it is not good for him to pull Princess Shouning to do things that are inappropriate for children.

However, this did not prevent Yang Xiaoyu from admiring Princess Shouning from another angle.

Although Princess Shouning was wearing a veil, Yang Xiaoyu could see it. Under the veil of Princess Shouning is a slightly haggard face.

"Is the princess doing well?"

After being silent for a long time, Yang Xiaoyu asked softly.

Princess Shouning nodded slightly, indicating that she was doing well.

Next, Yang Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, Princess Shouning didn't want to stay with him for long. After finishing the matter, the two were silent for half an hour, and Princess Shouning said goodbye.

Yang Xiaoyu personally sent Princess Shouning out of the mansion, and watched Princess Shouning drive away before he returned to the mansion.

~~~~~~~~

A few days later.

The celebrant reported the emperor's punishment of Concubine Zheng.

To the surprise of many Donglin officials, the emperor did not kill Concubine Zheng, but ordered Yang Xiaoyu to send someone to imprison Concubine Zheng in Ciqing Palace, and the two murderers were sentenced to death.

Such a punishment was not only unexpected by the courtiers, but also by the people in the palace.

The officials thought that the emperor's punishment was too light, and they asked the emperor to punish Concubine Zheng according to the law.

However, their recitals were as mud as mud into the sea.

When the ministers were indignant and played again, news came from the palace that the old queen mother was frightened by the assassins and was already dying.

At this time, the ministers of the Donglin Party became even more energetic, and they entered the palace one after another to see the Queen Mother.

The Jinyi army was in front of Cining Palace, and without Yang Xiaoyu's order, no one could see the Queen Mother.

The courtiers began to shout outside the Cining Palace, scolding Yang Xiaoyu for his bad intentions for a while, and saying that Yang Xiaoyu was not well guarded, causing the Queen Mother to be frightened by the assassins and should be severely punished.

Yang Xiaoyu, who was in the palace, heard the Donglin officials led by Zuo Guangdou scolding him like this, and immediately sneered and ordered to go down, all the courtiers who entered the Cining Palace to see the Queen Mother had to be searched by the guards before they could enter, of course, only officials above the third grade could see the Queen Mother, and the rest of the minor officials still knelt outside and waited.

In fact, Empress Dowager Liu's illness has been around since the first month, but she has always been hidden from him.

But now it has reached the point where it can't be hidden, and Yang Xiaoyu can only drag it as much as possible.

After this matter was passed on, Yang Xiaoyu instructed Xu Xiaoxiao to lead people to guard the courtyard, and he took Li Wenshan and two hundred guards into the palace and rushed straight to Cining Palace.

When Yang Xiaoyu arrived in front of Cining Palace, he saw two third-grade masters stripped of their clothes, tied with ropes, and collapsed at the gate.

Yang Xiaoyu stepped forward, waved his hand to summon Cheng Yun, pointed to the two ministers and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"Back to the adult, these two people are armed with sharp weapons, with bad intentions, and their subordinates are worried that they will take the opportunity to be unfavorable to the queen mother, so they will tie them up here and wait for the adults to fall." Cheng Yunyu reports.

Yang Xiaoyu stepped forward and looked at the two ministers, both of whom he knew, they were the servants of the Criminal Department and the Ministry of Works, and they could be regarded as big officials of the imperial court.

The squire of the criminal department is a member of the Donglin Party, and the squire of the Ministry of Labor belongs to the centrists.

Yang Xiaoyu ordered someone to release the waiter of the Ministry of Works, but sent someone to set up the waiter of the Criminal Department and send it to Ye Xianggao's mansion, and asked the guards to tell Ye Xianggao, and this person was handed over to him to deal with.

After dealing with the matter, Yang Xiaoyu hurriedly entered Cining Palace.

At this time, Zuo Guangdou and other courtiers had already entered the main hall to see the Empress Dowager Liu.

Empress Dowager Liu was sick in bed, looking haggard, her eyes were drooping open, the words in her mouth were slurred, and the palace maid was waiting cautiously on the side. (To be continued......)
