Chapter 84: Unfavorable Factors (Part 2, Chapter 38)

Yang Mubai said: "So when Sun Liang is interrogated again, I don't believe that no one is willing to tell the truth." Officials protect each other, does it also happen around the Son of Heaven? You are the emperor, and even you can't speak up for the people? Can't even the Son of Heaven wash away their grievances? This is what you call peace in the world, peace in the country and peace in the people? ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Justice can be done, but if it is done, have you thought about the consequences?" ”

Yang Mubai said: "Because they have made meritorious contributions, can they do whatever they want?" If even you turn a blind eye to their grievances, how can you be worthy of the people of the world? ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Mu Mu, this case, neither father nor mother pursued it, but also wanted to protect her reputation......

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Yang Mubai, who was extremely angry, and she said angrily: "You have disappointed me so much, you are like this, how different are you from the Dark Shadow Sect, it is simply a mustard human life......"

Pei Shengyuan was also angry, interrupted her and said, "Mu Mu, please be cautious in your words and deeds." ”

She realized she had said the wrong thing, and she didn't say anything more.

He Shengnan thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, the queen, please be sure to be the master of the people, if you are a gentle and kind girl, you don't want to say that you have been wronged on weekdays, and you will endure it every time." But in the end, she died, and the people who forced her to die are still at large. How can she rest in peace? ”

General Niu said: "Miss He, say it! In your opinion, how should this matter be handled? ”

He Shengnan said: "It's a pity that they forced her to death, I want them to apologize at her grave, and Sun Liang also has to apologize together." Sun Liang promised to marry Ruo, and I wanted him to admit it to his face. ”

General Niu said: "I will discuss this matter with them, and then I will reply to you." ”

Yang Mubai said: "Miss He, don't worry, the emperor will definitely seek justice for you." ”

He Shengnan said: "Thank you Queen Mother, even if you fight for my life, I will not back down, I must seek justice for Ruoxi." ”

After speaking, she knelt down and saluted Yang Mubai and said, "Thank you to the queen for speaking up, the people will remember it in their hearts and never dare to forget it." ”

Yang Mubai said: "Miss He, don't be polite, this is our duty, as long as we meet it, we will definitely deal with it." ”

When they returned to Fengyi Palace, Yang Mubai was very angry, she didn't expect that Pei Shengyuan would also acquiesce to the matter of their official protection.

Pei Shengyuan was also very angry, he was angry with Yang Mubai and said that he was no different from the Dark Shadow Sect, how could she accept it.

Yang Mubai was waiting for him to explain, and he was also waiting for Yang Mubai to say soft words.

The two were at a stalemate for a while, and Yang Mubai said, "Hey, you don't have anything to say to me?" ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Then do you have anything to say to me?" ”

Yang Mubai said: "Don't you think it's unforgivable for officials to protect each other and force the people to death?" Why don't you pursue them? ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "The imperial court is not a child's play, they just came back from the battlefield, they have made war exploits for the country, and they have come back with their lives." Of course, they were wrong, but it was not their intention, and besides, if they were already dead, pursuing it would only bring shame upon her death. If this matter is not pursued, it will be the best outcome. ”

Yang Mubai said: "They escaped once, what about the next time?" What is the use of the law if it is like this every time? If you can disregard the lives of others in terms of merit, what kind of prosperous times is this, which is more terrible than troubled times. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Human life is different, those are equal, the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the Son, there is no such thing." There is no such thing as absolute fairness. This time it is not to forgive them, General Niu will punish them, after all, they did not mean to. Just disposing of it publicly, it will embarrass everyone. ”

Yang Mubai said: "You have persecuted people to such a point, and you dare to speak out and tell me the truth." That General Niu, I don't think he will necessarily deal with those young generals. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "General Niu contradicts you, and he also has his reasons, this is indeed a state affair, and it is inconvenient for the queen to interfere." You are neither an important person in the case of Dali Temple, nor a party involved in the case, and interfering at will will cause criticism. ”

Yang Mubai said: "Pei Shengyuan, you disappointed me so much, I always thought that you were a Ming Jun. The world you said will always be the first place in your heart, but how can you achieve peace in the world if you don't care about the worries of the people so much? ”

Pei Shengyuan said angrily: "Why do you keep questioning my ability? You can go outside and ask if your life is any better than before. You can't deny everything because of a small thing. This matter, right or wrong. There is no absolute right and wrong in the world. ”

Yang Mubai said: "You don't distinguish between right and wrong, it simply impresses me." After speaking, she said: "I'm tired, please go back to the emperor!" Congratulations to the Emperor. ”

Seeing her like this, Pei Shengyuan left angrily. I thought to myself: I'll see how long you can be stubborn.

Not long after Pei Sheng left, the palace people came to report that Princess Pingping was sick.

It's really a wave of unsettled, wave after wave. This time Princess Pingping vomited and could not eat. Dr. Ye came to the clinic and said that it was caused by gastrointestinal discomfort. I was prescribed medicine, but I couldn't feed the medicine, which was a bit serious.

Yang Mubai hurried over, and Prince An An was already asleep. She asked the palace people to carry him to another palace to avoid getting sick and contagious or noisy to make him sleep.

Yang Mubai picked up the flowers and slowly fed her with a small spoon. She took the trouble to feed it, and only drank a small bowl of medicine after about an hour.

After drinking the medicine, Yang Mubai took her in his arms and gently coaxed her to sleep, and after another quarter of an hour, Princess Pingping fell asleep. Yang Mubai didn't dare to put her on the bed, for fear that she would wake up again. I hugged her for half an hour, and when I saw that she was sleeping peacefully, and I was too tired, I handed her over to the nurse.

Because the princess was sick, Yang Mubai asked the nurse to take turns to sleep. When the doctor came to check the pulse again, the condition was stable, and he would come again tomorrow to feed the medicine, and if he took the medicine for another day or two, he would be cured if he did not vomit out.

Yang Mubai returned to the Fengyi Palace dormitory, she was physically and mentally exhausted at this time, and after she bathed, she went to bed and fell asleep. It's just that she slept very unsteadily, for so long, Pei Shengyuan hugged her to sleep every day, she hadn't had a nightmare for a long time, and today they quarreled, she fell asleep by herself, and dreamed of being in the dark sect. The frightened and helpless eyes of the children inside, as well as the cruel killing methods of the left and right protectors. Finally, I dreamed of the waning moon, what he looked like temporarily.

After Pei Sheng left, he slowly thought about Yang Mubai's words. What she said has a certain truth, but the imperial court should also cherish talents, those young generals are rare talents, and the punishment that should be given will not be less.

Thinking that he broke the contract and quarreled with Yang Mubai again, and returned to Fengyi Palace, he wanted to apologize to Yang Mubai, after all, Yang Mubai was not wrong. It's just that they don't agree, and he is even more reluctant to hurt Yang Mubai's heart because of this incident.

He came to Fengyi Palace and saw that she was already asleep. I thought to myself: I really have no heart and lungs, and not long after the quarrel, I fell asleep again.

Seeing that she was sleeping very unsteadily, he had a nightmare again, and he just wanted to hug her. I heard her say intermittently, "Wanyue, don't ...... Waning Moon, don't die ......"

Pei Sheng was very angry, but she didn't expect that in her dream, she couldn't forget the waning moon. Jealousy made him lose his mind.

He just wanted to wake up Yang Mubai roughly, but when he saw a lot of cold sweat on her face, he couldn't bear it, so he could only wipe the sweat off her face with a handkerchief, and then hold her in his arms. said softly: "Mu Mu, wake up." ”

Yang Mubai didn't wake up immediately, and shrunk into his arms, seeing this, Pei Shengyuan was happy again, Mu Mu still needed him very much.

Yang Mubai slept peacefully again, this time there was no nightmare, Pei Shengyuan touched her face, and said helplessly: "Without me, what can you do." Then he kissed her on the lips, then got up and took off his robe, and changed his clothes and went to sleep.

The next day, Yang Mubai woke up, she was stunned, did Pei Shengyuan come last night? She felt like she was sleeping with him in her arms. Forget it, I don't want to, after she washed, she went to visit Princess Pingping.

The nurse put the princess in the cradle last night after seeing that she was sleeping peacefully, and now the princess has not woken up.

Yang Mubai was relieved and was able to sleep peacefully, just recovering.

After a while, Imperial Doctor Ye came, took the pulse and said, "It's stable, when she wakes up, she will take two more medicines today, and there will be no other symptoms, so she will be fine." ”

Yang Mubai is very happy, these two children have been carefully cared for recently, and they rarely get sick. A lot of the time, she does it herself, and she's tired herself. But watching the child grow up little by little, she has a special sense of accomplishment.

The imperial physician decocted the medicine and put it aside. The princess woke up, let the nurse feed, and after eating a little milk. Yang Mubai fed medicine. Drinking the medicine was still a little vomiting, Yang Mubai patiently fed two large bowls, many of which were spit out, sprinkled on the milk cloth, and finally drank a small bowl. After drinking the medicine and seeing that the weather outside was just right, he hugged the princess and the prince to bask in the sun in the garden in the courtyard.

Imperial Doctor Ye said: "Queen Mother, Weichen will give you a pulse of peace by the way, so as not to take another trip when you get it." ”

Yang Mubai stretched out his hand and said, "Then there is Doctor Lao Ye." The palace people brought a thin silk scarf and put it on Yang Mubai's wrist.

After taking the pulse, Imperial Physician Ye said: "It's been a few days since the confinement sitting, does the queen have any other discomforts?" ”

Yang Mubai thought about it and said, "There is no discomfort, it's good." ”

Imperial Physician Ye said: "That's good, the queen mother is already in good health, and she can return to her normal life." Yang Mubai didn't hear what was in the words, so he said, "Okay, there is Doctor Lao Ye." ”

After Doctor Ye left, he met Pei Shengyuan of the Xia Dynasty in Huitai Hospital.

Imperial Physician Ye hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

Pei Shengyuan asked, "Imperial Physician Ye came to Fengyi Palace so early, but the queen mother is unwell?" ”

Imperial Physician Ye replied: "The queen mother is in good health and can return to normal life. Weichen came because Princess Pingping had a stomach discomfort and vomited more than once yesterday, and came for a follow-up visit today. ”

Pei Shengyuan didn't know, he asked, "Princess Pingping was sick yesterday?" How come I don't know? ”

Imperial Physician Ye said: "Last night, the queen's grandmother accompanied her and fed the medicine box, and now it is stable, and if you take two more medicines today, you will be cured without accidents." ”

Hearing this, Pei Shengyuan relieved himself and said, "There is Lao Ye's doctor." ”

Imperial Doctor Ye said: "This is the duty of the minister, and the minister will retire first." ”

Pei Shengyuan tasted Imperial Physician Ye's words and asked, "Imperial Physician Ye, what did you say just now?" Is the queen mother in good health? ”

It's embarrassing to think about it, Pei Shengyuan asked her before, when Yang Mubai is confined, when can she be happy with her again. It's hard to say it clearly, it has been hinting for a long time, and Mrs. Ye came out, so she reminded it by the way. Unexpectedly, Pei Shengyuan was quite able to hold back, and he didn't go to find other concubines, and Baba waited for more than a month.

He immediately replied: "Yes, Your Majesty, the queen mother is in good health and can return to normal life. It's the same as before giving birth to a princess. ”

Pei Shengyuan understood Imperial Physician Ye's words, his heart blossomed, and he said lightly: "I know, Imperial Physician Ye, you can step down!" ”

Then walk towards Fengyi Palace. She saw Yang Mubai holding Princess Pingping and basking in the sun. Prince An An was held by a nurse.

The sun shone on her face, a smile like a flower, a peaceful joy. Let him unconsciously put a smile on his face.

He walked over, hugged Prince An An from the nurse's hand, and said, "Mu Mu, Pingping was sick yesterday, why didn't I hear you talk about it." ”

Yang Mubai said dissatisfiedly: "The emperor has every opportunity, how can these little things bother the emperor." ”

When Pei Shengyuan heard this, he felt a little sad, thinking that she was indeed tired yesterday and had nightmares at night...... The thought of the nightmare made him feel uncomfortable again.

He suppressed the sourness, and then said with a smile, "Okay! Let's not talk about these things in the future, count me wrong, okay? ”

Yang Mubai said unwillingly: "What do you mean that you are wrong? Aren't you wrong? ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Well, I was really wrong, Mu Mu is not angry, okay?" You see, Pingping and An An are well-behaved, let's not quarrel in front of them, okay? ”

Yang Mubai glared at him and said, "Then you still say?" ”

Pei Shengyuan: "......"

After being silent for a while, Pei Shengyuan asked again, "How is Pingping?" Have you taken any medicine today? ”

Yang Mubai sighed, wanting to vomit with him, he couldn't change anything. Maybe it's really because she thinks about the problem too simply, how many women in the world die for innocence, if they regret that after death, if they still bear this stigma, it is really not suitable. He Shengnan didn't pursue it, and she didn't want to be angry anymore, so she replied: "I've already been fed medicine, and I'll drink another pair of medicine at night, and it's good to think about it." ”

Pei Sheng saw that she was no longer angry, and hurriedly said: "Mu Mu has worked hard, as their father and emperor, I have not fulfilled my responsibilities, so Mu Mu is worried." ”

Yang Mubai said: "Your Majesty, it is your responsibility to govern the country and let the people live a good life. Pingping and An'an, I'll bother. ”

Pei Shengyuan knew that she was not angry. Then he said, "Look at the two of them, who is more handsome?" ”

Yang Mubai was speechless, and said: "Now that it's so small, how can you see who is more handsome?" Besides, what is the use of the prince and the princess, who is more handsome? ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "They all say that the son Xiao mother, the daughter Xiao father, Mu Mu thinks that when they grow up, who is more handsome." ”

Yang Mubai smiled and said, "The emperor wants me to praise you!" Who doesn't know that you, the emperor, have the appearance of a captivating city, according to you, after you think about it, you will be more handsome. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Who said it, they are complimenting me, in my eyes, Mu Mu is always the most beautiful." ”

Tsk tsk, this sudden love story. When Yang Mubai heard this, he was embarrassed, so he had to say: "The people of the world are lovers in the eyes of Xi Shi, this is true." ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "What I said is true, there is no more beautiful and caring person in the world than Mu Mu, who is more in line with my heart." ”

Yang Mubai hurriedly said: "Okay, today's love words are enough, save them for later, otherwise you will run out of words in the future." ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "It's okay, all the love words in the world are all one sentence: Mu Mu, I love you, I love you very much, I love you very much." On top of this, you can also add rhetoric, Mumu, I will love you for a long time, forever. ”

Yang Mubai said with a smile: "Don't say it again, beware that the child will only talk about love in the future." ”

Pei Shengyuan asked, "Mu Mu had another nightmare last night?" I see that you are sleeping very restlessly. ”

Yang Mubai said dissatisfiedly: "It's not! I was so busy all day yesterday that I was too tired to think about it, and I dreamed of the Dark Cult again, which was really terrifying. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "In addition to the Dark Sect, can you dream of anything else?" ”

Yang Mubai said frankly: "Every time I dream of the Dark Sect, I will dream of the tragic death of the waning moon, which is very sad. After speaking, his face darkened.

Pei Shengyuan complained in his heart, why did he mention it, the Dark Sect was Yang Mubai's strict prohibition. The waning moon died because of her again, and it is normal to dream of the waning moon, and he is dead, so he has nothing to be jealous of. What's the use of fighting with a dead man? But when she thought that she was now in love with Yang Mubai wholeheartedly, she thought of the waning moon from time to time in her heart, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Although he was unwilling, he still couldn't show it, otherwise he would seem to be too childish, and he said comfortingly: "Mu Mu, forget about everything!" The Dark Cult and the Waning Moon are gone, and they will never come back. ”

Yang Mubai sighed and said, "I want to forget, but the impression is too deep, it will always come out in my mind from time to time, and sometimes it will appear in my dreams." I can't forget it. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "I'll accompany you and forget about them together." ”

Yang Mubai looked at him and said, "Pei Shengyuan, thank you." ”

They held the child in the sun for a while, and later the child was hungry, and the nurse finished feeding and coaxed the child to sleep, and they went back to the dormitory.

Pei Shengyuan hugged her into his arms and said, "Mu Mu, did you handle He Shengnan's matter inappropriately?" ”

Yang Mubai said: "Does the emperor think that I shouldn't have a bad relationship with the two generals for this matter?" ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "That's one thing, and the other is that He Ruoxi is dead, her parents don't pursue it, and the matter is not publicized, if you insist on going your own way, you want to open the coffin for an autopsy, it will ruin her reputation after her death." We don't know if she killed herself, because she was afraid of being infamous in the future, or if it was something else. She chose to die, but she didn't want to make a public announcement, thinking that she would leave with the idea of innocence. ”

Yang Mubai said: "Her parents don't pursue it, but they are afraid that they are afraid of the status of the two generals and several major generals, and they dare not avenge themselves." Moreover, she is a concubine, and through He Shengnan's account, she was not favored at home, and her mother died early. Such a weak woman with no identity and no attention can encounter such a big change, what else can she do except seek death? If she wants to avenge herself, I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to go to the sky. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Our thoughts are impossible for us to know, and now the whole capital is full of storms, do you think she is really happy under Jiuquan?" ”

Yang Mubai said: "I think, if the girl's grievances are washed away, she will smile at Jiuquan." The last time you said in the Dark Cult, blood is a human life. She is a citizen of the imperial capital, and she should not die in vain. As for the major generals, if they really broke the law, they should be punished. I am the queen, if I am afraid of offending the powerful and shielding criminals, and treat the people like mustard, how can I honor the world? ”

Hearing this, Pei Shengyuan's face sank, and he said coldly: "Mu Mu said this, do you think I am not worthy of being the Son of Heaven?" Or accuse me of being timid and ignoring the people? ”

When Yang Mubai heard this, he immediately said: "I know that you are not such a person, you want to balance the relationship between all parties and handle this case more properly." The two generals have made great achievements in war, and they should be respected. Those major generals have also made military merits, and there are clear rewards and punishments. He also warned them that no matter what kind of identity or status, they must be clean and self-conscious, follow the rules, and not have a fluke mentality. At the same time, he also told the people of the world that they can get justice if they have grievances, and no matter how weak they are, they can also get justice, which is the peace of the world and the only way to serve the public. Otherwise, what majesty is there in the law, and if those who have made meritorious deeds can do anything wrong, there will be hidden dangers. We should not only care about those who have made meritorious contributions, but also for the people. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "Mu Mu, I know the reason, I'm not afraid of offending them, I'm just afraid that it is not very appropriate to deal with them like this." ”

Yang Mubai said with a smile: "Now that the people live and work in peace and contentment, it has always been a folk saying that the people do not fight with the officials, and we can change a little from this matter." ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "I didn't expect this, Mu Mu, you are really impressive." ”

While the two were talking, the palace maid came to report: "General Niu and General Xue have not seen the emperor and the queen." ”

They met with the two generals in the Imperial Garden. After saluting, Pei Shengyuan asked them to sit down and asked, "I don't know what the two generals are coming, what is the so-called matter?" ”

General Niu said: "Your Majesty, the queen, Weichen came here this time to judge the case. Now the city is full of turmoil, which has a great impact on the reputation and career of several major generals. ”

Pei Shengyuan said: "When the coffin is opened tomorrow for an autopsy, we will know whether it is a rumor or not, and it will be self-defeating." ”

General Niu said: "He Ruoxi is dead, several major generals all denied it, even if the coffin is opened tomorrow for an autopsy, she is not innocent, and she cannot conclude that the murderer was committed by them." ”

Yang Mubai said: "He Shengnan is a witness, if it is not enough, you can interrogate Major General Sun Liang again." There are also the guys and shopkeepers of the drunken fairy building, handed over to Dali Temple, and they can always find out the clues. ”

General Xue said: "Too much time has passed, and the shopkeeper and companions of the Drunken Immortal Building have not remembered what happened at that time. Sun Liang had been arraigned last time, saying that there was no incident with what He Shengnan and the girl were accused against. ”
