Chapter 17: Agree to return to Chen's house
In an instant, she calmed down.
"I can go back, but please give me justice from my father," thinking that going back is not necessarily a bad thing, at least I can touch the bottom of the Chen family, Chen Jintong was relieved, but he knew in his heart that some things must not be loosened, in front of the emperor Chen Bai pretended to be so pure, and it was not so easy to handle after a while.
Chen Baixian stopped talking, and looked at the queen for help, the queen received such a gaze, weighed it in her heart, and felt that this matter was not a big deal, so she raised a smile and wanted to speak, but at this time, the emperor didn't pay attention to her at all, but put down the teacup and looked directly at Chen Rongan on the side.
"This really needs an explanation! County Lieutenant Chen doesn't seem to have learned his lesson! The emperor suddenly said with a straight face, Chen Rongan was assigned to Xiangzhou, and became a petty official of three hundred stones, he should have set off at this time, but because of this incident again, he was unwilling, and vowed to catch Chen Jintong, so he stayed for the time being, this matter is a trivial matter for their Wu'an Hou Mansion, and it also happens from time to time among officials, but no one has obviously stabbed the Jinluan Palace.
Chen Rongan knelt down with a plop: "Your Majesty, the minister knows that he is wrong!" The minister really knew that he was wrong! ”
"Then tell me what you did wrong?" The emperor seemed to be smiling, and looked at Chen Rongan like this.
"The minister's mistake should not be blinded by lard, he should not make money by mining privately, and he should not hurt people in front of the public without permission! also delayed taking office in Xiangzhou, the emperor, the minister really knew that he was wrong! Thinking about the destruction of Mingyue Villa, the emperor must not be able to catch the exact evidence, Chen Rongan did not dare to reveal half a point, more than a hundred lives, it was enough for him to spill blood on the spot.
Seeing him begging for mercy, Chen Baixian also knelt down to help plead for mercy.
Chen Jintong and Dongfang Xuanze were like two outsiders, just watching quietly and not saying a word.
"There's another one that should be pleaded!" Chen Jintong thought in her heart that the queen on the side should not be able to sit still, she wanted to see how much magic Queen Chen had to persuade the emperor to let go of the Chen family.
Unexpectedly, although Empress Chen's face became more and more ugly, she did not open her mouth to plead.
Listening to Chen Rongxin's anxious confession of mistakes, the emperor glanced at the queen on the side before he slowly spoke: "Since it is a family matter, I don't want to punish you heavily; But this is also a state affair, and it is unreasonable not to punish you," the hall listened quietly, but he seemed to be very embarrassed, and after a pause, he said: "Can you be convinced of beating you for thirty boards?" ”
Finally being able to leave a life, Chen Baixian breathed a sigh of relief. Chen Rongan beat the drum in his heart, "Thirty boards!" He could see that a guard had collided with the emperor before, and the twenty boards were beaten to the flesh, and he shivered instantly.
"Don't thank you yet!" Chen Baixian pushed him violently, he hurriedly crawled on the ground to thank him, and the person above the hall slowly spoke again, "Since you don't want to be the county lieutenant, don't go at all, and reflect at home!" ”
Chen Rongan was busy thanking him again and again, anyway, he was not uncommon to be that little official, so he raised his head when he was done, looked at Chen Jintong on the side, the hatred in his eyes seemed to be about to spread out, Chen Jintong did not hide it, and glared back fiercely.
"Get up!" The emperor motioned for the two to step back and looked at Chen Jintong: "What kind of justice do you want?" ”
In fact, Chen Jintong saw it very clearly, the emperor made it clear that he wanted to favor Chen Rong'an and his son, and he could have killed Chen Rong'an at the most complete time, and even directly cut the title of Marquis of Wu'an. However, Chen Rongan didn't say anything about it, and the emperor didn't mention it, but the superposition of all sins was gently overshadowed.
I just wanted to answer, but according to the emperor's arrangement, Dongfang Xuanze, who had been silent for a long time, rushed to speak out in front of her: "Since they are all a family, it is better to let Lord Chen take Miss Chen back in a beautiful manner, which will not not damage the name of father-daughter affection, but also make others not despise Miss Chen, what does Miss Chen think?" ”
Although Chen Jintong is not willing to go back, but now this has become the way she must go, it is better to go back in a beautiful way than to be sneaky, at least it can hit the eldest lady, so she thought about it, so she asked the emperor: "The people's daughter thinks it is okay." ”
Seeing that the dust had settled, the queen no longer had any scruples, thinking that if she didn't leave Chen Jintong in the palace, it would be better to probe her truth, so she bowed down and replied: "Your Majesty, Jintong has an injury on her body, so it's better to leave her to stay with me in this palace temporarily, and let Rong An pick her up after she has been raised." ”
Chen Jintong hurriedly excused herself: "Thank you for the kindness of the queen mother, but the people are vulgar, I am afraid that I will stay in the palace and not understand the rules and let the queen mother fall into the handle, so I will find an inn casually when I leave the palace." "Mingyue Villa can't live for the time being, and Splendid Villa is a little remote, so I think the inn is still more convenient.
"Why don't you ask Miss Chen to stay with me temporarily!" Dongfang Xuanze saluted the emperor, owed a debt and continued: "I got a few calligraphy and paintings today, and my friends and I often gather in the Qinghe study, and I also asked Miss Chen to relax and live first." ”
The title of "peerless son" is not for nothing, Oriental Xuanze's poems and writings are flowing and flowing, the paintings are unique, and they are talked about by people, and it is common to linger in the study.
"That being the case, so be it!" The palace maid added new lamp oil, it was dinner time, the emperor also felt tired, after speaking, he got up and motioned for them to disperse, everyone retreated, only the queen naturally followed the emperor, and instructed the palace maid to put the meal that had been prepared.
Because of the injury, Chen Jintong walked very slowly, and it was already dark when he came out, but because of the snow on the ground, he didn't feel dim, Chen Rongan's father and son should have gone to receive the punishment, and they didn't come out with them.
Dongfang Xuanze's little servant had already arrived, waiting by the carriage side by side with the coachman.
Dongfang Xuanze and Xiaowu helped Chen Jintong to get into the car, and then slowly returned to the Shizi Mansion.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, today's grace should be remembered in my heart, and I will never forget it." Chen Jintong couldn't move half of his body, leaned stiffly on the soft quilt, and said angrily. The carriage was as warm as ever, the stove was filled with new carbon, the burning was booming, and the soft quilt was replaced with a new one, which was soft and relaxing.
"You can heal your injuries first!" Dongfang Xuanze was still as indifferent as ever, Chen Jintong felt that although he was injured, he was still a little hungry, but looking at the person opposite, he still looked radiant, and couldn't help but be a little curious, could it be that he ate something before going out?
Dongfang Xuanze leaned the stove slightly to Chen Jintong's side, and the little guy next to him looked at him and then at Chen Jintong, with a gossip on his face, Chen Jintong was a little funny: "What's your name?" "Oriental." Dongfang had a thousand words to pop out in his heart, and when he saw Chen Jintong open his mouth to break the silence, he immediately answered.
"Your name is Dongfang?" Isn't Dongfang a surname? "That's right, I belong to the Oriental family, so I'm called Dongfang!" Speaking of the Oriental Family, he felt a little tingling in his heart.
Dongfang Xuanze didn't participate in the conversation, nor did he stop it, Chen Jintong was suddenly full of curiosity about Dongfang Xuanze's affairs, and he chatted with Dongfang with each other.
