Chapter 240: Fighting for Life
Su Jiao held her hands tightly and kept praying in her heart, hoping that Yang Ruopei would be safe.
And at this time, the dark clouds in the sky outside have gradually gathered, and they are pressed on this piece of capital, which is pitch black, and it is called when you look at it, and your heart is heavy.
Mu Zhuliu sat on the other side of the carriage, slightly sideways to see Su Jiao there with her eyes closed, constantly muttering and praying, in such a serious and heavy carriage atmosphere, he suddenly felt that his emotions were a little out of place here.
"Mrs. Xiao, you can relax, good people will be rewarded after all, your mother Jiren has her own natural appearance, and she will definitely be fine."
Hearing this, Su Jiao raised her head, although she was grateful to him for his comfort to her, but at this moment, she really couldn't say anything to thank her.
Just in time for the words of the wooden sleeper to fall, the carriage of the hibiscus has stopped.
The Dengwen drum is erected on the southeast corner of the imperial city to symbolize the meaning of inheriting the will of heaven and conforming to the hearts of the people. A large drum with a diameter of about two meters stands next to the Qinglong Gate, although this Qinglong Gate is not an official gate for the emperor to leave the palace, but in the minds of the people, it also symbolizes the inviolability of the supreme imperial power.
Therefore, Hibiscus's carriage could only stop at the edge of the square two miles away from this Dengwen Drum, and the rest of the way had to rely on Su Jiao to run over step by step.
Su Jiao staggered, got out of the carriage in a hurry, and almost couldn't step on the stool under her feet because she was dazzled for a while, but fortunately, there were hibiscus and wooden sleepers next to her, and the two of them grabbed her arm up and down.
She looked nervous, feeling that the muscles on her face were all tensed together, standing here, and saw Yang Ruopei in a dark blue command uniform in the distance, kneeling in front of Deng Wengu. Xiaolian, the maid beside her, was holding a huge drumstick and was constantly beating there.
Maybe it's because it's afternoon at this moment, and the emperor is reading the excerpts in the upper study, and there is still a long way to go from the Qinglong Gate, so the sound of Xiaolian beating the Dengwen drum did not reach inside. However, the few rooms near the back of the Qinglong Gate were specially prepared for the emperor's secret agents.
They must have heard all of Yang Ruopei's pleas here, and as for whether to go to the emperor to complain, it all depends on luck.
Su Jiao saw that Yang Ruopei was safe and sound now, and she was reluctant to breathe a sigh of relief, but she didn't dare to take it lightly, before she followed Xiao Huai'an to have a general understanding of the terrain in the palace, lest the people inside fall into the well for herself and Yang Ruopei, she hurriedly ran over and knelt beside Yang Ruopei.
"Mother, what are you doing, didn't you say okay, you go back to rest, wait for our uncle to rescue you, you are so extreme, what should you do if you annoy Your Majesty. If you are obedient, we will be able to find a solution in no time, you have to believe me, let's go back first. ”
Su Jiao hurriedly knelt beside Yang Ruopei, and was afraid that the wall would have ears, so she lowered her voice and dragged her arm with one hand, trying to pull people up, but how could she have so much strength alone.
Mu Hibiscus and Mu Ji Liu walked behind, and when they saw Su Jiao trying to help Yang Ruopei up, Mu Hibiscus also rushed over to help. The wooden sleeper Liu stood outside for a long time, looking at the so-called Qinglongmen and Dengwen Drum.
Yang Ruopei shook her head lightly, her face was a little strange pale and dark, her eyes were very firm, she turned her head to look at Su Jiao, and pulled her hand away ruthlessly.
"Jiao'er, you are married, so the Yang family has nothing to do with it. Today's matter is the last thing my mother has done for the Yang family, you don't care about it, it is inevitable that they will implicate you and Huai'an, you better leave early, mother will wait here until Your Majesty is willing to see me. ”
When the words landed, Su Jiao listened to Yang Ruopei's words, and the desperate words in them were speechless in shock, just shaking her head there constantly.
"No, I'm not leaving. Mother wants to stay here, and I want to be here, unless Mother is willing to leave with me. Mother, please don't be so stubborn, your majesty, how supreme he is, how can he see you? ”
Su Jiao sniffed, and did not forget to secretly mock the emperor as she spoke.
Although Mu Rong next to her was also concerned about Yang Ruopei's physical condition, she was still a little worried and scared when she heard Su Jiao's words about living and dying with Yang Ruopei, and couldn't help but stand up, looking around, she shouldn't have noticed the people here, and thinking about the solution.
Mu Zhuliu's gaze turned down from the big drum and fell on Su Jiao and Yang Ruopei, I don't know if I thought of myself, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Yang Ruopei smiled very abruptly at this time, raised her hand and stroked a handful of Su Jiao's hair that was scattered on her back, and spread the wide wide sleeves of her two hands like butterflies spreading their wings.
"You don't know this, as long as my mother has this dress on her, she will definitely come out to see me in Your Majesty. Jiao'er, you are still young, you don't know what our family used to be like. You must know that at the beginning, when my father and mother were still there, even His Majesty would personally come to our Yang family. ”
"This, yes...... What the? Su Jiao was stunned when she heard this, and it was indeed difficult to imagine what the glorious Yang family in Yang Ruopei's mouth was like, she recognized that the clothes on Yang Ruopei's body must be the life clothes of the wife, but she didn't know how much the grade was.
"This was passed on to me by my mother's mother, that is, your grandmother. At the beginning, it was the emperor himself who decreed that your grandmother was canonized as Mrs. Yipin, which was the order of Mrs. Yipin in the previous dynasty. ”
Yang Ruopei nodded, arranged her sleeves very lovingly, and said lightly, with an indifferent tone, as if this was supposed to be. However, in the eyes of the people around her, not to mention Su Jiao, even Mu Rong, who was standing there and watching, was also very shocked.
Today's emperor has always cared most about power, so there are a total of three first-class adults in the court, and now there is only one who can still be safe.
And the current emperor Xu Huayin, but completely inherited the mind and means of the first emperor, the Yang family in the hands of the immortal emperor, can also get the position of a first-class order, it can be seen that the Yang family played a pivotal position in the court, I am afraid it is also because of this reason that the Yang family has become the first to bear the brunt and the first to be dealt with.
After Su Jiao sighed, she couldn't help but feel sad for her family.
"But ......" But having said that, now that the Yang family is bound by the so-called conclusive evidence, Yang Ruobei wants to wear the imperial uniform of the previous dynasty to complain to the emperor about his grievances, isn't that a blatant denial of the emperor's decision and rule.
Su Jiao was shocked, but like Mu Rong, she felt a huge pressure that was more and more like her own people. The higher you stand, the harder you fall, and that's probably it.
"Yes, mother, you have this command, then no matter what, Your Majesty will definitely not attack you, can you go back with us first, with this commandment, we can be regarded as having a little confidence in our hands, and rescuing my uncle and eldest brother is just around the corner."
"It's too late." Yang Ruopei shook her head, and Mu Rong suddenly couldn't bear it, don't overdo it.
Su Jiao was puzzled for a while, she didn't know what the two of them meant by such a performance, and the wooden pillow was finally enough of watching the play, and walked up to say.
"The old lady is noble, in exchange for justice, I think there are few people in the world who can have the backbone of the old lady, and I am deeply admired."
"You are, I know you, you are Jiao'er, the young doctor who recommended Miss Zhang's treatment." Hearing this, Yang Ruopei turned her head and glanced at the wooden pillow flow lightly.
Speaking of which, the appearance of the wooden sleeper flow should be no different from that of Daze's people, but Yang Ruopei's eyes were sharp, and he instantly gained insight into the truth, so his face eased a little, and he suddenly turned his head gloomy.
"It's a pleasure to have guests coming from afar. I should welcome the state of etiquette, but please don't meddle with your own affairs. Jiao'er, you don't have an order, if you stay here all the time, someone from the palace will drive you away for a while, and the scene will not be good-looking. You go back first, Mother will come back when the time comes. ”
"Mother-" Su Jiao naturally couldn't agree, and the wooden sleeper flow around her was also blocked because of Yang Ruohui's words.
But just when she grabbed Yang Ruopei's hand and pleaded, the dark clouds in the sky began to squeeze each other, and a shocking thunderclap sounded above the palace, and Su Jiao, who knelt outside the Dengwen drum in fright, shook her body.
Su Jiao raised her head and looked at the direction where the thunder and lightning flashed, clenched her fists angrily, she wanted to look up to the sky and roar, but she was afraid that it would harm her family, so she dared to lower her voice and said hatefully.
"God is unfair, heaven is unfair!"
"Let's go, the one who should go always has to go." Yang Ruopei didn't care, and she didn't move when the mountain rain was coming.
Listening to her words, Mu Zhuliu suddenly felt a touch in his heart, and stepped forward to ask Diecui to help him help Su Jiao up.
"Mrs. Xiao, this is also the old lady's heart, if God has eyes, it will definitely not let the innocent person be wronged in vain, you have more important things to do, don't waste it here, instead of begging the old lady to go back like this, you might as well prepare more ginger soup and order someone to send an umbrella over, maybe it can have some effect."
Mu Zhuliu frowned, anticipating how Su Jiao would refuse herself, and specially pinched the few points that touched her heartstrings the most. Su Jiao's face was hot for a while, but his hands and feet were surprisingly cold, and his knees were so soft that he almost couldn't even walk.
