Chapter 209 Enter the palace and face the saint
Mo Wengu stopped and turned around: "What else does the emperor command?" ”
The emperor beckoned, and all the attendants in the imperial study withdrew.
For a while, only the two brothers were left in the huge imperial study.
The Emperor paced to Mo Wengu's side and smiled lightly, "Doesn't the imperial brother have anything else to say to me?" Such as...... The trafficker of illicit salt is Shu Zicheng. ”
Mo Wengu was startled, and his face turned pale: "Your Majesty...... You know it all? ”
The emperor hooked his lips coldly: "The world is so big, what can I hide from my eyes?" ”
Mo Wengu was speechless for a moment.
The emperor smiled: "You clearly know his crime, why didn't you report it when you knew about it, and still lied in front of me?" ”
When Mo Wen heard this, he knelt down on one knee at the moment: "Please forgive the emperor, this case has not been investigated clearly, Weichen just thinks that Master Shu Zicheng Shu is not like the kind of person who wants to rely on private salt to make a windfall." ”
The emperor's smile was even colder: "Is this the reason why you have taken all the charges on yourself?" I know exactly what you did in Chenzhou! I have heard that not only did you clear his name, but you also gave a lot of false testimony to prove that you were the one who sold illicit salt. Hehe, you're really my good royal brother. ”
Mo Wengu's face turned pale, and he knelt on the ground and didn't dare to move for a while.
"Brother Huang is doing this, I'm afraid he still harbors some selfish intentions, right?" The emperor looked down at Mo Wengu condescendingly and asked with a smile.
Mo Wengu did not shy away from it, and bowed his head openly: "That's right, Weichen doesn't want Master Shu to be hurt." ”
"I'm afraid that what you want to defend is someone else!" The emperor unceremoniously pierced him, he can know about Shu Zicheng, and naturally he can also know about Shu Qing, the emperor squinted, and a star passed in his gentle eyes, "Brother Huang, I ordered you to become a Qin messenger to Chenzhou to investigate the case, it is a trust with you, but you play with my trust in the palm of your hand!" I'm so disappointed in you! As a messenger, you should have a fair and just mood, but you squandered your power so much! ”
Mo Wengu's heart was cold, and he knew what a serious mistake he had made this time.
He knelt on the ground with his hands and said respectfully: "Please ask the emperor to condemn the crime." The minister is willing to bear all the blame. ”
"Hmph," the emperor snorted coldly, "such a great culpability, I don't see if you can afford it!" ”
After a short sigh, the emperor's mood calmed down again: "That's it, you and I are born of the same mother, but you are true brothers, and I will never forget the grace of abdicating the throne in my life." This time I forgave the imperial brother, and if there is a next time, I will not care about brotherhood! ”
Mo Wengu, as the eldest son of the imperial family, should have inherited the throne, but he gave it to the current emperor in front of the Manchu Dynasty, and swore that he would never usurp the throne forever, and would do his best to assist him. The emperor was also thinking about this kindness, so he was extremely tolerant of Mo Wengu.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Mo Wen cupped his fists.
The emperor held his sore forehead: "Brother Huang has worked hard for so long, let's go back and rest quickly." ”
"Wechen retired." Mo Wengu understood, so he said goodbye to the emperor and went out of the palace alone.
Mo Wengu had just left with his front foot, and Gonggong Zhao entered the imperial study with his back foot, and said with a serious statement: "Your Majesty, Shu Zicheng has returned to Beijing." ”
"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows and smiled, "He came back at the right time, and immediately passed on my will to let Shu Zicheng enter the palace to face the saint!" ”
"Yes!"
Shu House.
The delicate carriage slowly stopped in front of the gate.
Shu Qing got out of the carriage with the support of Xuehuan Xuepei.
From afar, she had already seen that the gate of Shufu was straight open, and there was a small servant busy cleaning inside, and the old housekeeper was standing at the door, his wrinkled face full of smiles.
Shu Qing originally thought that she would never return to the capital in her life, but she didn't expect ...... She finally returned to this familiar place.
Everything in front of me is so familiar, so familiar that many memories are immediately recalled in my mind.
That day, after Mo Wengu said goodbye to her and returned to the capital, Shu Zicheng followed closely and also learned the news, and Shu Zicheng, who learned the news, also ordered someone to prepare a carriage and horse without saying a word, and went straight to the capital.
Shu Qing sighed, and Shu Zicheng, who was sitting in front, also got out of the carriage at this time.
The old housekeeper greeted him with a smile at the moment, and his cloudy eyes were still red: "Master, Miss, you are finally back." ”
Shu Zicheng raised his head and forgot to glance at the neat and tidy Shu Mansion, and reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Housekeeper, I have worked hard for you during the time when the old man is away." ”
"Master, this is going to torture the slaves." The old housekeeper couldn't help but burst into tears, "However, it's good for the master to come back, and it's good for the master to come back......"
Shu Zicheng smiled slightly: "The old man still has a lot of things to do, so I'll leave it to you here." ”
Shu Zicheng said, and went to the house with a heavy heart.
The old housekeeper didn't dare to ask more, and was about to enter the house with Shu Zicheng, but when he saw Shu Qing, he seemed to remember something, and turned his head and said, "Miss...... The old slave has some things that he doesn't know when to say or not. Be...... About King Qing's. ”
Shu Qing's heart jumped, he thought for a while, and raised his eyelids lightly: "Say it." ”
The old housekeeper was allowed to continue: "When the old man and the young lady just left the capital, King Qing came many times, and he stayed here almost every day, no matter the wind or rain, it was like crazy, the old slave looked at him, and he was really a little pitiful. ”
If it weren't for his sincerity, the old butler wouldn't be willing to speak for him at this moment.
"Once it was raining heavily, King Qing was stunned and waited in the rain for a whole day, and then he had a fever, and he still couldn't forget to come to Shufu to wait for Miss." The old housekeeper saw that Shu Qing's expression was quite calm, so he cautiously added, "Miss, the old slave looks, King Qing has sincerely changed this time." Just give him another chance. ”
Shu Qing listened, his chest rose and fell slightly, but he only had a flat chin: "I know." ”
She only knew that he was considerate of herself when she was in Chenzhou, but she didn't know that there was such a story in the capital, the old housekeeper was loyal to Shufu, he had always been fair and just, and he rarely spoke for others, it seemed that Mo Wengu was really sincere this time.
Shu Qing frowned, perhaps...... Should she really try to give him another chance? It's not just a verbal opportunity, it's a heartfelt and heartfelt one......
Shu Zicheng on the side returned to the wing, first bathed and changed clothes, and after he was dressed neatly, he rode out of the house alone.
Leaving Shu Mansion, Shu Zicheng went to the palace without stopping.
Gonggong Zhao went out of the imperial study, and before he could leave the palace gate, he met Shu Zicheng under the palace gate.
"Master Shu!" Gonggong Zhao hurriedly turned over and dismounted, and walked to Shu Zicheng's side with a flattering face, "Did Master Shu come to the palace to ask to see the saint?" ”
Shu Zicheng's face was calm: "Exactly." ”
"Coincidentally, the emperor is asking the old slave to find Master Shu to enter the palace." Zhao Gonggong smiled and said, "Master Shu, go with the old slave." ”
"There is Father-in-law."
