Chapter 118: Facing the Holy Saint and Pleading
"It's the child who is wrong and has disappointed the mother." Wei Songting lowered his head and said sadly. Wei Zhaohua thought that even if Wei Songting said this, he naturally had no regrets in his heart. If he was Wei Songting, after getting the news of Su Chengbi and leaving, he would naturally come back uncontrollably.
"Am I disappointed? Songting, my mother didn't send you away, she just didn't want you to have any concerns. is in the frontier, in order to fight in all directions, kill the enemy and protect the country. Such a person is most afraid of having a weakness, no matter what the reason, you can't be a deserter! Su Chengbi said earnestly, with indescribable disappointment in her tone.
Wei Songting knelt on the ground and bowed down to Su Chengbi, his action touched the wound, making Wei Songting gasp.
"The child is guilty!"
Su Chengbi closed her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking. Her body trembled and she almost fell, but fortunately, Aunt Su on the side helped her in time. Wei Zhaohua couldn't care about the pain on his body, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Su Chengbi's other side.
"That's it! The matter is a foregone conclusion, and there is no way to undo it. Walk! Follow me into the palace! Ask the emperor for guilt! Su Chengbi gasped and said angrily.
Wei Zhaohua stretched out his hand and grabbed Su Chengbi, pulling the wound on his shoulder, making Wei Zhaohua shrink a little. "Mother, you're not feeling well, I'll go with my brother!"
Su Chengbi looked at Wei Zhaohua deeply, swallowed the words that had come to her lips, and nodded. "Zhaohua, you remember! Those who leave the barracks and border gates without permission are guilty of a capital offense! Or even punish the nine clans! ”
After Su Chengbi finished speaking, he turned his head to the side and stopped looking at the two people, "Go ahead, if the emperor is guilty, there must be no complaints, no resistance, and any punishment must be beared!" ”
Wei Zhaohua nodded, stepped forward to help Wei Songting, and Wei Songting took a deep look at Su Chengbi's back. "Mother rest assured, even if the child commits suicide, it will not affect you and your sister!"
Wei Zhaohua quietly gestured to Wei Songting with a "Shhh Wei Songting shook his head with a wry smile, and walked out of the Meditation Garden with Wei Zhaohua.
"Madam, are you alright, do you want the old slave to call the doctor over?" Aunt Su stepped forward and asked softly.
Su Chengbi shook his head and looked back at Wei Songting and Wei Zhaohua, but found that there was no longer the backs of the two of them. "I don't know if the Son of Heaven will let Songting go this time for Zhaohua's face?"
"What do you mean, ma'am?" Aunt Su said with some curiosity, could it be that Su Chengbi deliberately asked Wei Zhaohua to accompany Wei Songting to confess? If this is the case, what is Su Chengbi's purpose?
"The emperor's thoughts about Zhaohua, even if they are well hidden, I can see it. If the emperor can really pardon Song Ting's sins because of Zhaohua, I really underestimate him. What the first emperor didn't do for Empress Ziyu at the beginning, now I don't know if he can do it for Zhaohua. Su Chengbi looked in the direction of the door, her face full of worry.
Aunt Su nodded, it turned out that Su Chengbi had already had a plan in her heart. Aunt Su thought of the smart eldest lady and smiled on her face, "Madame doesn't know, the county lord is just now."
I was firmly whipped by me, and that appearance was really like when my wife was young. ”
Su Chengbi smiled bitterly, a little surprised, "I know that Zhaohua and Songting have a good relationship, but I don't know that these two children really haven't disappointed me." I think I can't understand Zhaohua anymore! ”
A smiling face appeared in front of Aunt Su, and she said with a smile, "Madame, as long as she takes care of her body now, it won't be bothering to come to the county lord and the young master!" If you talk about this time, it's really that the young master is too worried about Madame. Madame doesn't have to take it to heart, even if the emperor doesn't give face to the county lord, he will give face to Lord Su! ”
Su Chengbi nodded, "I didn't know that Songting was for my good, but it was he who ruined it!" It's not so much that he's angry with me, it's that I'm angry with myself! ”
"Madam, don't think about it, let's go back first." When Aunt Su saw Su Chengbi's appearance, she was afraid that Su Chengbi's body would not be able to withstand such a blow, so she hurriedly said, and secretly prayed in her heart that Wei Zhaohua and Wei Songting would enter the palace to confess their sins and get the desired results.
Wei Zhaohua and Wei Songting walked out of Jingxin Garden, and did not rush into the palace, but Wei Zhaohua helped Wei Songting back to the courtyard to clean up.
"Anyang, simply treat the wound on my brother's body, and then change into clean clothes, so that people can't see the injury!" Wei Zhaohua said quietly, handing Wei Songting into Anyang's hands.
An Yang answered and helped Wei Songting to the house.
Wei Zhaohua waited outside for a long time before Anyang came out with Wei Songting in his arms, and Wei Songting smiled helplessly when he saw Wei Zhaohua. "I didn't listen to you and was punished, I didn't expect you to intercede with me in the end."
Wei Zhaohua took Wei Songting from An Yang's hand and shook his head helplessly, "Who made us brothers and sisters!" Even if I wanted to ignore you, it wouldn't be possible! Forget it, don't think about it so much, the emperor is tolerant and will definitely not blame you! ”
Wei Songting smiled and did not speak. The emperor is tolerant, and that is only tolerant of you. As for the others, who else said that the emperor was tolerant?
Riding in a carriage to the palace, Wei Zhaohua did not follow the rules this time, but showed his token in a serious manner, and sat in the carriage in the palace openly. Jiang Heng didn't know what he was busy with, Wei Zhaohua paid attention when he passed by the palace gate, but he didn't see Jiang Heng's shadow.
It wasn't until the door of the imperial study that Wei Zhaohua got out of the carriage. The palace maids and guards on the road looked at Wei Zhaohua from time to time, but hurriedly lowered their heads. No one knows the temper of this county lord, if it is not easy to provoke, who knows if it will bring them ruin with a single look?
Wei Zhaohua didn't support Wei Songting, and he didn't even let Anyang support Wei Songting, letting Wei Songting walk by himself. Wei Songting was also strong, except that his face was pale, and he didn't look like he had received any criminal law.
Cheng An was standing outside, talking and laughing with the eunuchs, looking happy. Seeing Wei Zhaohua, Cheng An looked down and stepped forward with a smile
"Why did the county lord have time to come over today?" The emperor is correcting the folds inside, and the old slave is going to say goodbye? ”
Wei Zhaohua nodded, "I'm tired of my father-in-law." ”
"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." Cheng An turned around with a smile, and when he raised his eyes to see Wei Songting, he paused for a moment, and then looked at Wei Zhaohua, Wei Zhaohua smiled politely, Cheng An eased his expression, and hurriedly walked towards the imperial study.
"If the emperor sees me, I'm afraid he will be surprised." Wei Songting smiled bitterly and looked at the door of the imperial study, not knowing what was going on in his heart.
"Don't think about this, the emperor naturally has the emperor's way of dealing with it, maybe when you just left the barracks, your uncle has already sent a letter to the emperor!" Wei Zhaohua comforted softly, although he couldn't guess what Shen Cuobai would do with this matter, but seeing Wei Songting so worried, he couldn't help but be nervous.
"County Lord! Young Master Wei! The emperor is waiting for you two! Cheng An came out and said.
Wei Zhaohua and Wei Songting walked in with their feet raised, and Shen Cuobai was sitting on the dragon chair and carefully reviewing the recitals. Heard the footsteps of two people and did not look up. "Why didn't you say hello and come back rashly?"
Shen Cuobai asked softly, and there was no blame in his tone, as if he was saying something as ordinary as whether you had eaten.
Wei Songting knelt on the ground and bowed to Shen Cuobai, "The minister is guilty, and he has the emperor's grace, so I have come to ask for guilt!" ”
Wei Zhaohua also knelt on the ground, but he didn't say anything, just quietly watched Shen Cuobai deal with the twists. Shen Cuo Bai Yuguang saw Wei Zhaohua kneeling, there was a little discomfort between his eyebrows, put down the fold in his hand, got up from the dragon chair and stepped forward to help Wei Zhaohua and Wei Songting.
"In the world, most filial sons are like this, I believe in you. As for what outsiders say, it is naturally their business, and what does it have to do with you. Your mother is the best fortunate thing, so you should learn the soldier's saying of taking care of the overall situation, and take it as a lesson. Shen Cuobai said lightly, but Wei Songting felt like Mount Tai was on top.
"Your Majesty, this incident is indeed Song Ting's fault, if the emperor punishes him, I hope he will not offend others, otherwise Song Ting will be even more uneasy!" Wei Songting hugged his fist at Shen Cuobai and said solemnly.
Shen Cuobai looked up to the sky and laughed, shook his head, and patted Wei Songting's shoulder, "Then I have to think about it." It's really hard to punish you for not causing trouble to others. If not, I'll punish you for participating in this year's martial arts test! ”
Cheng An, who was next to him, opened his mouth a little in surprise, and reminded in a low voice, "Your Majesty, the list of this year's martial arts test has been decided, and if you add more people at this time, I'm afraid you will give people a handle." ”
Shen Cuobai raised his hand to stop Cheng An's words, and looked at Wei Songting, "What I say is what it is, and then change it when the list is decided." If Songting doesn't get what I want to see this year, then I don't need to get off the ring! ”
Shen Cuo's resolute words in the vernacular made people have no room for refutation at all, and Cheng An could only respond when he stood aside, looking at Wei Zhaohua's eyes a little more inquiring. Wei Songting heard Shen Cuobai's words
Punishment, kneeling on the ground to receive orders.
Shen Cuobai glanced at Wei Zhaohua deeply and asked softly, "Are all the injuries on your body healed?" ”
Wei Zhaohua nodded and did not speak. Shen Cuobai also restrained his expression, and said lightly, "Then it's decided, if there is anything else, don't make any more assertions." ”
Shen Cuobai's words were meaningful, and Wei Zhaohua and Wei Songting responded together.
"Obey." "The courtiers obey."
