Chapter 441: Thinking Behind Closed Doors

As soon as the words fell, the air in the imperial study seemed to freeze for a moment, and the breath became longer and slower, and the delicate incense burner burned with a calming balm, but it was not very useful for people's thoughts at this moment.

On the wide chair, the person who was originally sitting upright frowned, no longer smiling just now, the emperor looked at the person kneeling in front of him with a slightly scrutinizing gaze, and he looked frank and swaying, and his words followed the heart of filial piety, but this Cheng?

However, a woman can wantonly do things on the dam, and the people below Fuzhou should also clean it up, the emperor thought of this, and his already tight brows were even more aggravated, and Zhao Qingyan, who was peeking at the emperor's face on the side, felt a little more embarrassed.

Zhao Qingyan didn't expect Wen Qiao to directly tell the emperor what Mrs. Cheng had done! The Fuzhou flood was solved by the two of them, and the emperor was naturally happy when he saw the results, as for the reason, there is a way to cover up the past, after all, the ugliness of the family cannot be publicized, and this is still a big event that can lose his head, how can he be so bold? After that, the gaze that looked at Wen Qiao became complicated for a while.

The emperor naturally didn't know what Zhao Qingyan was planning in his heart, although he thought that the Cheng family did have a big fault, but now it is how to deal with Wen Qiao, in terms of meritorious deeds, this person has indeed made great contributions, if the responsibility continues, Wen Qiao will not be at fault, after all, it is the Cheng family who is the obstruction.

That's it, that's it, according to what he said, make up for it, the emperor slowly raised one of his arms, gently supported his somewhat swollen forehead, felt a trace of pain, and also brought a moment of clarity, however, it is not a trivial matter to do things to the dam after all, if everyone can be like this, where is the people in the world? Where am I?

"Wen Aiqing contributed a lot to the Fuzhou flood, and the flood was solved after all, so according to what Aiqing said, but it is okay to make up for the fault, but this person who is secretly obstructing cannot go unpunished, Wen Aiqing can agree?" The emperor looked at Wen Qiao, unwilling to let go of the slightest change in the expression on Wen Qiao's face.

"Thank you for your great kindness, the minister is grateful!" Wen Qiao listened to what the emperor said, his brows only frowned slightly, but he immediately relaxed, the emperor promised that he would make up for his mistakes, and it was already the result of the top, thinking that this punishment should be just a small punishment, and it should be a warning.

"Then get up." The emperor glanced at Wen Qiao lightly, this person has always been very knowledgeable, and the Fuzhou flood can be regarded as a solution to a major problem in his heart, so the punishment will be lighter and give a warning.

Looking at the emperor who should have written a chapter on the bookcase, Zhao Qingyan breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, after all, there was no danger, if the emperor was angry because of Mrs. Cheng's matter, the matter would outweigh the loss.

After getting the holy decree, the two of them left the palace without hesitation, and on the carriage, Zhao Qingyan couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart, and finally asked: "Madame's matter doesn't need to be told to the emperor, why do you bother to say it and solicit blame for yourself?" ”

Looking at Zhao Qingyan with a questioning face, Wen Qiao's heart moved, she was also worried about herself, and said lightly in a gentle voice: "Although the matter of the flood seems to be small, it is also a major matter related to the survival of the people, if you and I cover it up, and someone investigates this matter, or something else is implicated here, it will be a hidden danger after all." ”

Zhao Qingyan nodded suddenly after hearing this, it is true, Fang Cai is not thinking about it, thinking that he is too concerned about Wen Qiao, thinking of this, Zhao Qingyan gently turned his head to the other side, no longer looking directly at Wen Qiao's side.

Although the carriage is already wide enough, this square place can only accommodate two people after all, what did Zhao Qingyan do

Wen Qiao could still feel it immediately, looking at Zhao Qingyan who quietly turned his head, the corners of his mouth finally crossed a trace of imperceptible smile, as warm as the melting of ice and snow, but the other person didn't see it.

The distance is not too far, and it is a carriage, this seemingly embarrassing atmosphere in Zhao Qingyan's heart did not last long before it ended, and when the two got out of the car, a servant greeted them, and there were naturally pothos among the people who came, and the other was Mrs. Cheng's close maid Qiaoling.

"Welcome the young master back to the house, Mrs. is waiting for you in the room, saying that I invite you to come over." Before Zhao Qingyan and Luluo could speak, Qiao Ling said with a smile to Wen Qiao, who had just gotten out of the carriage.

"Lead the way." Wen Qiao happened to go to find Mrs. Cheng with the holy decree, and just went over directly, but this Qiao Ling was a little too flattering, and she didn't salute Zhao Qingyan on the side, but there were some rudenesses, which made Zhao Qingyan and Luluo on the side a little embarrassed.

Wen Qiao was just about to start looking for Mrs. Cheng, but as if he suddenly thought of something, he said to Qiao Ling: "I didn't give a salute to the young grandmother, and I will go down and receive the punishment myself." ”

Qiao Ling was stunned when she heard this, her eyes became fierce in an instant, but she didn't show any face, but the hand that was flat in front of her abdomen was stirred together, almost tearing the sleeves apart.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, there is Cheng, in the Fuzhou flood incident, secretly manipulated and caused, causing the dam to burst, because of his son Wen Qiao's water control work, so the merit will be made up, punish Cheng in Huai'en Hou Mansion for half a year, sincerely copy fifteen volumes of Buddhist scriptures, in order to show repentance, admiration!" A cold voice came from Wen Qiao's mouth, without a trace of temperature.

Before Mrs. Cheng and Wen Qiao could have a good greeting, Wen Qiao mercilessly handed down the holy decree, which made Mrs. Cheng speechless, and the joy she had before was gone.

"What do you mean by that? Did you make things clear to the emperor? Mrs. Cheng listened to the contents of the holy decree, and looked at Wen Qiao, who was expressionless, with an incredulous expression, and she covered her heart with her hand, as if she was greatly frightened.

"Since my mother has done this, she has to bear the consequences of this matter, and the Holy One has already given extra kindness, but she just thought about it behind closed doors, and her mother still accepted the holy decree." Wen Qiao looked at Mrs. Cheng, who was in disbelief in front of him, and said lightly.

"It's not a matter of your thoughts! You just want me to suffer!" It's me who is blind, and I can't raise you a white-eyed wolf after so many years! Mrs. Cheng didn't pay attention to what Wen Qiao said, but continued to say to herself, looking at Wen Qiao with an angry face.

"The crime of bullying the king is a big crime, my mother should not resist the decree and disrespect, I thought at home that it was also to atone for what I did, and I asked my mother not to think about it anymore, I will not accept a flat wife," Listening to Mrs. Cheng's more and more speechlessness, Wen Qiao finally focused her eyes on Mrs. Cheng, and then said to her seriously.
