The heavy rain was pouring down, washing Chang'an City.

On the steps of the Chengming Palace, the rain and the figures overlapped.

"His Royal Highness the King of Lin'an has been kneeling for an hour, this rain has been falling, and if it continues like this, people are afraid that they will not be able to bear it." The inner officer watched from under the eaves and said worriedly.

"What's the solution, this is the emperor's order, who dares to say anything."

"Why don't you go find the Queen Mother? The Queen Mother persuaded that it would be useful to come. ”

"Yes, I don't know when it's going to be a head."

Chu Yin's side, after listening to the words of the internal official, he was indifferent, "Got it, step down." ”

After the internal official withdrew from the palace, Chu Yin stood up with the support of the palace maid, "Is Niangniang going to Chengming Palace?" Caitang asked.

"I'm tired of mourning, I want to sleep for a while." As he spoke, he walked inside.

Caitang was slightly flustered, and followed, "Niangniang, His Royal Highness King Lin'an...... Aren't you going to take a look at the persuasion of the emperor? ”

Chu Yin walked to the soft collapse and lay down, holding his forehead with his hand, "What is there to persuade, if the emperor wants to punish, it means that he has done something wrong, and he should be punished, and there is no need for the mourning family to get involved." ”

The sound of rain was pouring outside, and Caitang was worried about taking a look, "But the internal official said that His Highness has been kneeling for an hour, and the rain outside is heavy, and it has been a long time, and His Highness is afraid that he will not be able to bear it." ”

"Go and light the sandalwood for the mourners, and go to the moisture." Chu Yin closed his eyes.

Yun Rongjue entered the palace and did not return for a long time, Jiang Wu waited in the mansion, the rain outside kept falling, and it did not stop for more than a quarter of an hour.

Seeing that noon had passed, he didn't see Yun Rongjue coming back.

Jiang Wu walked to the eaves, looked at it, and sighed.

After a while, there was suddenly a figure in the rain, and she looked at a strange person who looked like an official, "Is it Miss Jiang Wu?" The man asked.

"I am, you are?" Jiang Wu was puzzled.

"I am a little internal official in the palace, Jiang Wu girl His Royal Highness King Lin'an is now being punished by the emperor to kneel outside the Chengming Palace, it has been more than an hour, Yu Guards asked me to find His Royal Highness King Shu, but I am an internal official who has just entered the palace, and I can't enter the Lingxiao Palace, so I asked the princess Niangniang if she is not in the house, so I came to find the girl, the girl is friendly with Princess Shu Wang Shu, can I invite the girl to go to Lingxiao Palace." The little inner officer said.

Jiang Wu's eyes widened when he heard this, "You mean that His Royal Highness has been punished by the emperor for kneeling for more than an hour?" ”

"Yes."

It's raining heavily, and it's hurting to kneel for more than an hour in this pouring rain!

Jiang Wu didn't hesitate, and hurriedly took the waist card and followed the little internal official towards the palace.

Jiang Wu and the internal officials hurriedly went to Lingxiao Palace to listen to the Xue Hall, fortunately, Yun Huang was here, and the internal officials brought out the matter with Yun Huang one by one, Yun Huang frowned, "This hall will enter the palace!" ”

"Your Highness, the slave and maid will also go!" Jiang Wu hurriedly said.

Yun Huang looked at her and said: "You still stay, right now the emperor wants to punish the fifth brother, the emperor's temperament has never been peaceful, you go, you may not be able to help, in case you are angry, it is trouble, you are waiting for the news of this palace." ”

"But ......"

She was worried, and she wished she could see him right now.

"Xiao Wu, Your Highness is right, if you are implicated, it will be even worse, Your Highness will persuade you, if you want to come to the emperor, you will take care of brotherhood, let's wait here." He Baoqi stepped forward and persuaded.

Yunhuang glanced at He Baoqi sideways and advised, "Take care of her." ”

He Baoqi smiled gently, "The concubine understands, Your Highness can rest assured." ”

Yun Huang nodded, then walked away quickly, walking towards the inner palace.

Jiang Wu followed to the door, looking at the heavy rain that was still falling, and his heart was tightly pinched.

He Baoqi patted her on the shoulder, "Don't worry, His Royal Highness King Lin'an will be fine," she looked at Jiang Wu's rain-soaked clothes, "Change your clothes, otherwise you will easily catch a cold." ”

After saying this, she told the maidservant to bring clean clothes.

The inner courtyard of the Royal Palace.

When Yun Huang arrived, he saw Yun Rongjue kneeling straight in the heavy rain, and he stepped forward quickly, "Fifth brother!" ”

Yun Rongjue raised his eyes, and Junrong was covered with heavy rain, making it difficult to see his emotions at the moment.

Yun Huang sighed angrily, and then walked to the door of the palace, "Trouble to the emperor, King Shu asks to see." ”

The inner official bowed his head, walked out after a while, and gestured to Yun Huang, who walked into the hall.

In the hall, in addition to Yun Huang, there was also a concubine waiting by Yun Feng's side.

"It's raining heavily outside, what's the important thing that the sixth brother is in a hurry to see me at this time?" Yun Feng bit down the peeled grapes handed by the people around him and asked casually.

"Your Majesty, I don't know if the fifth brother did something wrong or said something wrong, you have to punish the fifth brother for kneeling outside the palace."

"It turned out that the sixth brother was for this, and the fifth brother naturally did something wrong, so I punished him."

"Your Majesty, I heard that the fifth brother has been kneeling for more than an hour, and this should be punished, can the emperor forgive the fifth brother and let the fifth brother get up." Yun Huang said.

"It's only been a little more than an hour, what is the sixth brother anxious about." Yun Feng said.

Yun Huang frowned, "Your Majesty, it's still raining heavily outside, the fifth brother is kneeling outside like this, I'm afraid my body can't bear it, the fifth brother has always been proper and cautious in doing things, even if there are occasional mistakes, can't the emperor be merciful and forgive the fifth brother?" ”

Yun Feng raised his head slowly and looked at Yun Huang, "Sixth brother, I know that you have a good relationship with the fifth brother and feel sorry for him, but he has done something wrong, and he should be punished no less." ”

Yun Feng was stubborn and didn't have the slightest intention of letting go.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what mistake the fifth brother made that made you so angry."

"He is good at approving money, and he has approved all the money I want to hold a birthday banquet." Yun Feng said.

Yun Rongjue blinked, he knew about this matter, all along, Yun Rongjue, as the emperor's younger brother, had the right to assist the emperor in handling the government, and this silver Yun Rongjue approved it for disaster relief to the people.

Yun Feng allowed Yun Rongjue to handle it by himself.

"Your Majesty, forgive my brother for speaking bluntly, didn't you agree with the fifth brother to deal with this matter at that time."

Yun Feng snorted coldly and said, "I let him deal with it, but I didn't let him deal with it like this!" How important is my birthday banquet, he approved the transfer of some of it, can my birthday banquet still be done well?! ”

"Your Majesty, that's for the people."

"Do you have to give in for the sake of the people?! I am the Son of Heaven! Yun Feng glared at Yun Huang coldly, "If you want to intercede for him today, don't speak again, I don't let him get up if this breath in my heart doesn't go away!" Get out! ”

Yun Feng couldn't listen to Yun Huang's opinion and insisted on going his own way.

Yun Huang walked out of the Chengming Hall and looked at Yun Rongjue kneeling in the rain. He wanted to help, but Yun Feng couldn't listen to his advice.

"Fifth brother, I'll accompany you!" Yun Huang thought about it, and simply knelt down directly beside Yun Rongjue.

Yun Rongjue looked sideways, and it was difficult to see the emotion on his rain-soaked face, "The emperor has decided that he will not back down because of this, you don't have to, Zixin will help your Highness up." ”

Zixin was just about to step forward, but he was scolded by Yun Huang, he pursed his lips and smiled, "That's okay, fifth brother, let's share weal and woe, not to mention," he paused slightly, and looked at the door of the main hall, "I don't believe he can disobey everyone." ”

Yun Rongjue's punishment for kneeling will not be known to the courtiers for a long time, plus him, the two princes have been kneeling for a long time, and the pressure on Yun Feng from the courtiers can be imagined.

Yun Huang expected it right, he knelt with him for about half an hour, and there were many folds handed over, and after the rain was lighter, many courtiers hurriedly came to meet Yun Feng and persuaded him.

Jiang Wu was waiting in Tingxue Hall, and after a while, someone came to pay tribute, "Princess Shu, Miss Jiang Wu, His Royal Highness the King of Lin'an is fine, and now he has left the palace and returned to the Lin'an Palace." ”

When Jiang Wu heard this, he hurriedly said goodbye to He Baoqi and hurried back to the palace.

Not long after Jiang Wu returned to the palace, Yun Rongjue returned.

He was soaking wet, his face was pale, and his legs were visibly trembling slightly. She didn't care about asking a lot, so she hurriedly took clean clothes and boiled hot water with Nanfu.

Jiang Wu took off the wet clothes on Yun Rongjue's body, looked at Yun Rongjue's slightly pale face, and his nose was sour, "Your Highness will take a hot bath, and the slave maid will get some ginger soup to ward off the cold for Your Highness." ”

Yun Rongjue lowered her eyes and looked at the little girl, and pulled her lips, "This hall is fine." ”

Jiang Wu pursed his lips, how could it be okay.

She didn't say anything and turned to walk out of the room.

After Yun Rongjue finished bathing, Jiang Wu brought hot ginger soup, and Yun Rongjue drank it.

"Your Highness has been kneeling for a long time, and I am afraid that my knee is seriously injured, so my subordinates will find a doctor for Your Highness." Yu Lie said.

"No, it's no big deal, just come with those ointments." Yun Rongjue said.

"But Your Highness, your knees, and the rain that has been drenching for so long today, it is safer to find a doctor." Yu Lie said worriedly.

"Your Highness, Yu Lie is right, let's find a doctor." Jiang Wu said.

Both of them insisted on finding a doctor, but Yun Rongjue stubbornly refused, and the two were helpless.

Jiang Wu took the ointment to remove blood and stasis, Yun Rongjue's trouser legs were rolled up, his knees were already red and swollen, and Jiang Wu's eyes were red in an instant, "Your Highness......"

Yun Rongjue looked at the little girl's generous palm and stroked her little face, "Sister, don't cry, this injury is nothing." ”

Jiang Wu's eyes were red, and his small nose was flushed, "Your Highness has been kneeling for more than two hours, the ground is hard, Your Highness's knees are injured, how can it be nothing, the emperor is really, even if His Highness is at fault, a little punishment is, why let His Highness kneel in the heavy rain for so long." ”

Yun Rongjue smiled lightly, Yun Feng's anger and punishment were all expected by him.

"It's not over yet." He snorted lightly.

Jiang Wu slightly, "What? ”

Yun Rongjue shook his head and didn't say anything more.

In the middle of the night, Yun Rongjue had a fever, and Jiang Wu was so worried that he was waiting beside him.

The next day, Jiang Sumo and Zhang Ruo hurried over after hearing about it, although Jiang Sumo was concerned, but he was quite calm, but Zhang Ruo cried as if the sky had fallen.

Jiang Sumo glanced at Zhang Ruo unhappily, "Concubine Zhang, Your Highness needs to recuperate, let's go out first." ”

"His Royal Highness hasn't gotten better yet, and the concubine is worried, so let's guard His Highness." Zhang Ruo looked at Yun Rongjue on the bed and said.

"There are people waiting here, and Jiang Wu is guarding, we are here, there are many people here, don't say anything, Concubine Zhang, you can't control your emotions, but it will disturb Your Highness's rest, so let's go out."

After Jiang Sumo finished speaking, he didn't care whether Zhang Ruo was willing or not, and took Zhang Ruo's hand and walked outside.

Zhang Ruo was pulled out by Jiang Sumo, and when he arrived at the door, Jiang Sumo let go.

Zhang Ruo was displeased, "Princess, what are you doing." ”

"Let His Highness have a good rest." Jiang Sumo said.

Zhang Ruo frowned, "Princess, you are the princess, the concubine is the side princess, we are all waiting for His Highness, now His Highness is sick, wouldn't it be unreasonable for us not to wait by His Highness's side." ”

"Waiting will also wait, Concubine Zhang, you didn't have any effect in the house, but kept crying, disturbing His Highness's purity, it is better to come out." Jiang Sumo said directly.

Zhang Ruoyi choked and pursed her lips, "Princess, His Royal Highness loves Jiang Wu a lot on weekdays, and now even the maid is by His Highness's side, Princess, you are the princess that Your Highness is marrying, so like this, wouldn't you put the cart before the horse, the concubine knows that the princess is kind and generous, but if you give in too much, Princess, aren't you afraid that Your Highness will pay less and less attention to you?" Zhang Ruo said softly, watching the change in Jiang Sumo's expression.

Jiang Sumo smiled indifferently, "It's just a sickness, as long as you can serve Your Highness well, whoever waits by Your Highness's side is not the same, I think those jobs are not as good as that girl, she will do it, do more, why not?" Otherwise, in order to fight for these, let's come forward, but we didn't do a good job, but it made His Royal Highness unhappy, Concubine Zhang, don't you say? ”

Zhang Ruo frowned, but he didn't expect the words to be provoked, so he could only smile and nod, "Yes, what you said, princess." ”

Yun Rongjue's fever subsided at noon, and after the fever subsided, his whole spirit was much better.

The next day, Qin Xiangyou went to the mansion and visited Yun Rongjue.

"Jue'er's spirit seems to be okay, it seems to be fine." Qin Xiangyou Dao.

Yun Rongjue smiled, "Yes, Master Lao is concerned." ”

After a few brief greetings between the two, Qin Xiangyou said, "I don't know if Jue'er can hear some folk talk in the past two days. ”

Yun Rongjue's hand pouring tea for Qin Xiangyou paused slightly, and said for a moment: "What are you talking about?" Master, let's hear it. ”

Qin Xiangyou touched his beard, "The people know about the silver bailout, and I don't know where they heard about it, knowing that this silver batch is Jue'er's meaning, and they are all grateful to Jue'er, this market is full of praise for Jue'er, your imperial brother." ”

"Even Jue'er, the news that you were punished by the emperor for being the master of your own affairs has also spread, and now the market is talking about this matter."

Yun Rongjue lowered his eyes, "These, I'm afraid it's not a good thing." ”

Qin Xiangyou raised his eyebrows, "Yes, if the discussion of these people is known to the emperor, it will not be a second, the emperor is already afraid of Jue'er, if you know, you are only afraid...... Jue'er should be careful. ”

Yun Rongjue smiled in a low voice and bowed his head, "Jue'er understands." ”

In less than two days, as the two of them guessed, these discussions reached Yun Feng's ears.

Yun Feng was furious.

reprimanded Yun Rongjue for various reasons in the court, and finally criticized Yun Rongjue for making mistakes and omissions in doing things by means of the disaster relief of the bank, and found mistakes in other places casually, and placed them on Yun Rongjue's body.

Let Yun Rongjue be speechless.

"Fifth brother, you are the emperor's younger brother, and you were supposed to be the assistant to me in handling court affairs, but you are too proud of yourself and have repeatedly made mistakes, I have forgiven you in the friendship of brothers, but you are becoming more and more disagreeable, if I don't punish you, it will be an injustice to others!"

Yun Rong Jue listened to Yun Feng's words quietly and did not argue.

"In this way, you have the merit of helping the fifth brother, and I will not give you a heavy punishment, so I will punish you to exile for a hundred miles." Yun Feng said.

As soon as Yun Feng's words came out, there was a discussion like a fried pot.

"Your Majesty, even if there is something wrong with the fifth brother, but exile for a hundred miles is too heavy, and I hope the emperor will consider it." Yun Huang hurriedly spoke for Yun Rongjue.

"Yes, Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Lin'an's mistake is not to be punished by exile, I hope the emperor will think twice." Yuan Jing opened his voice.

Many ministers in the court spoke for Yun Rongjue, and many were silent.

Yun Feng squinted, looking at the courtiers who had different opinions below, his eyes fell on Yun Rongjue, the disgust in his eyes was obvious, he snorted coldly, and the bottom instantly quieted down.

"Needless to say, I have made up my mind, pass on the decree, and retreat from the dynasty!" After Yun Feng finished speaking, he stood up and brushed his sleeves away.

"Fifth brother, the emperor is dizzy! How can I let you be exiled for a hundred miles! ”

"Today's emperor's decision is really surprising, fifth brother, don't worry, let's think of a way." Yuan Jing said.

Compared with the anxiety of the two, Yun Rongjue is much calmer, "You two don't worry about me, you don't see the emperor's expression, and it is difficult to change what he has decided, especially for me." ”

The news that Yun Rongjue was going to be exiled for a hundred miles was quickly spread, and everyone in the harem knew about it.

"Niangniang, do you want to persuade the emperor, is this exile of a hundred miles too heavy for His Highness."

Chu Yin's expression was faint, and there was no concern or nervousness on her face, as if she was talking about other people's affairs, and it had nothing to do with her.

"What is there to persuade, the emperor is the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, he has made a decision, and it is not appropriate for the mourning family to intervene."

"But the slave maid heard that His Royal Highness King Shu and Prince Jing have been persuaded by him, and now I am afraid that only if you persuade Niangniang, the emperor will listen."

"Although the mourning family is the queen mother, it is not the emperor's biological mother, and the emperor respects the mourning family on weekdays only because the mourning family is the queen mother, that's all, do you really think that the emperor can listen to what the mourning family says?"

"If he does something wrong, the emperor will punish him, and the mourning family will come forward to intercede, which will only make the emperor more unhappy."

Chu Yin insisted, and Caitang couldn't say anything more.

Yun Feng's exile to Yun Rongjue was to walk a hundred miles on his legs, and he was originally shackled, but after the courtiers persuaded him, he was exempted from shackles.

The whole palace is in chaos because of this matter.

Jiang Wu was anxious and distressed, but in this matter, even Yun Huang and Yuan Jing had no choice, let alone her.

She was worried that she couldn't eat or sleep, and she lost a lot of weight.

"Xiao Wu, you have to pay attention to your body, see that you have lost weight in the past two days, I have a new dim sum made in the imperial dining room, you can eat some." Jiang Yuyan handed the dim sum to Jiang Wu.

Jiang Wu looked at it, without an appetite, "Sister Yuyan, you ...... Can you persuade the emperor to be merciful and forgive His Highness? ”

Jiang Yuyan frowned and sighed lightly, "Although the emperor loves me, this matter is ...... It's a matter of government affairs, but I'm afraid I won't be able to speak. ”
