Chapter 303: From now on, we will be in the same boat through thick and thin
Zhu Chengye was still calm, and ordered his wife and daughter-in-law to stand still and not chase after him, and the person who came saw that the father and son were willing to cooperate, and they didn't do it too ugly, so they walked out by themselves.
Seeing her husband and son being taken away by the official, the second lady was so frightened that her legs were weak and collapsed to the ground.
In the hall, the third lady held Pingli's hand tightly, her face turned pale with fright, and the moment the official broke in, she thought it was Pingli again.
The mother-in-law told her not to pursue the last incident, and when nothing happened, she pretended to forget on the surface, but in fact, she was worried about her son all the time.
At this moment, even if it was the second family who was taken away, she was frightened, and Pingli felt the strength between her mother's fingers, knowing what she was worried about, and she felt extremely guilty.
The younger brother and eldest nephew were arrested, and it was impossible for Zhu Chengqian to clear up the relationship, so he immediately had to take Zhu Rong to find out the reason and dredge up the dots.
For so many years, there have been many big and small things in the court, and he will not panic, but he didn't expect that his younger brother would do so much behind his back to implicate them in the lawsuit of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The old lady looked into the house, and Fuyi and the girls were not there, and when Mama Rui saw it, she said, "Before they broke in, the young lady took the girls and carried the children to the back hall." ”
The old lady nodded with satisfaction: "When it matters, this kid can still take care of things." ”
She got up and said to everyone: "Don't make a fuss, it's just a routine inquiry, the assassination of the crown prince is a big deal, of course the emperor has to find out, you guys disperse." ”
In the back hall, Huaifeng and Yanran, who didn't know that their grandfather and father had been arrested, were happily playing with their aunts and aunts, and when they saw their great-grandmother coming, they surrounded them to be coquettish.
The old lady ordered the nurse to take the girls back, saying that Dongyuan was not peaceful at the moment, and the two dolls stayed with her to take care of them.
"Good boy, I can't even take care of me, it's better for you to calm down." The old lady praised and helped, "Otherwise, how can it be good to scare these two children." Rong'er and his father will definitely come back very late, don't worry. ”
Fu Yi said: "Grandma, will there be anything wrong with the second uncle and the eldest brother?" ”
The old lady shook her head: "I don't know what they are entangled in, your second uncle is bent on going upstream, but he always does the next thing, and he is asking for hardship if he has any sins, poor Pingluo is implicated by him." ”
Fu Yi carefully supported her grandmother, and the old lady stroked her hand and said: "The illustrious and noble family, you have seen it, but even so, the emperor wants to arrest people, whether you are a family to have a reunion dinner, or sleep soundly in the middle of the night, the king of Hades told you to die in the third watch, who dares to keep people until the fifth watch." ”
"My grandson understands." Fu Yi said, "It's not just a house, it's a country, in the past, Taizu destroyed Zhao, but it was just day and night." ”
The old lady said: "If I can meet another big event, it is not a vain life, maybe before I close my eyes, I can see a stronger Daqi, help, do you look forward to it?" ”
Fu Yi bowed his head: "My grandson is full of expectations, even if the future is difficult, there are always people who have no hesitation." ”
Back in the inner courtyard, when Hanzhi heard about this, she was just as worried about Ping Luo and the second uncle, but she and Fuyi knew in their hearts why the assassination of the prince started.
The emperor is now arresting with great fanfare, whether it is the Min family or the Zhu family, sooner or later it will still be counted on the head of the palace, but before the life and death of the prince and her husband are clear, the emperor is not good at tearing his face.
The next person came to spread the word, saying that the second girl would stay in Dongyuan tonight and not come back, and soon someone came with news that the Prime Minister's Mansion was also broken into by officers and soldiers.
Several masters of their family were arrested, although the old minister and the eldest grandson Min Yanshi were spared, but they were also confined to the mansion with a group of family members, inside and outside the prime minister's mansion, and no one was allowed to enter or leave for the time being.
In addition, there are also many officials who have been arrested, and they are all named in the newspapers, all of which are the party of the four princes of the concubines on weekdays.
After resigning from his grandmother and eldest sister, he went to Dongyuan, the second lady lay on the couch and cried all the time, and the eldest sister-in-law was also at a loss, only Yunzhi was quite calm.
The two aunts and sisters-in-law avoided them and went outside the door to talk, Yunzhi asked: "Didn't my brother say that the emperor wanted to force the old minister to resign, why did he catch our family?" ”
Fu Yi said: "I don't know, obviously your eldest uncle and brother don't know either, how difficult the emperor's mind is, otherwise how to say, the companion is like a tiger." ”
"I'm really waiting for today, not even tomorrow, just waiting for the two families to sign the marriage contract, and the emperor will do it." Yun Zhi's eyes were straight, full of sadness, "You said it, it's ridiculous, my father almost gave me to the fourth prince to be a child, it's really that he doesn't even know how to die in the future." ”
"Don't think nonsense, you take care of your aunt and sister-in-law here, Huaifeng and Yanran have grandma and big sister watching." Fu Yi said, "Let's stop messing with our family first." ”
"Fuyi, aren't you afraid?" Rhyme asked.
"Why don't you be afraid, my heart is still beating hard now." Fu Yi said, "People like us, they say they will break in, when I was a child, I heard that when I was an errand for the emperor, I tied my head to the waistband of my trousers, and now I understand." ”
The second lady's cry came from inside, in order not to embarrass her sister-in-law, Yunzhi had to take care of her mother, and if she wanted to help her, she hurried to tell her if she had news.
On the way back to Qingqiu Pavilion, when she met Citron with a lantern to pick her up, Fu Yi felt that Xiang'er was very nervous, and said gently: "Blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, there is no smooth sailing in the world, but your uncle has always been on the right path, and no one can find him." ”
But the citron said, "I have never even seen such a big crab, it is cold, and no one eats it." ”
Fu Yi smiled: "Do you think about this?" ”
The citron was very heavy: "If you live your life in fear like this, I don't know if you offend the emperor and lose your head one day, or our Jizhou life is good, what if you can't eat big crabs." ”
Fu Yi said: "This is the price of wealth, I wish my family three hundred years of ups and downs, can't I be here?" ”
Citron looked at the young lady and became a little bold.
Fu Yi said: "From now on, only through thick and thin, don't think about what Kishu's paradise, if you are afraid, I will send you back, this is not angry words, nor is it that you are unproductive, it is my heart's words, if there is any case, I don't want you to suffer." ”
Citron raised her head and said, "Miss is not afraid, I am not afraid, we have an aunt here, I would rather stay in the capital and eat big crabs." ”
Fu Yi smiled: "When this turmoil passes, let my uncle find you a bigger crab." ”
Citron rejoiced: "Miss, I heard Cuizhu say that the taste of this crab is not the same as that of the male and female......
The night is getting deeper, the capital and the Zhu family in a period of turmoil, finally quieted down, Zhu Chengqian into the palace into the night to face the saint, Zhu Rong in the Dali Temple dredging dots, so as to avoid the pain of uncle and eldest brother's prison.
When he went out, he met Kaijiang to find him, he was worried that the Zhu family would be implicated, and was ordered by his father to help, Zhu Rong persuaded him to stay away for the time being, not to get angry.
"Tomorrow in the court, there will naturally be a saying." Zhu Rong said, "Uncle has nothing to do with you, don't get involved in it for the time being." ”
"The emperor arrested your second uncle and eldest brother because of the marriage of the two families?" Kaijiang asked, "But the Prime Minister's Mansion and your second uncle were originally in-laws." ”
Zhu Rong frowned and said: "My second uncle should have done something he shouldn't have done in private, and now he has been denounced and settled together." ”
Kaijiang sighed: "A while ago, I heard my father say that Yang Min's two mansions wanted to join forces to protect the emperor, so why did they turn their faces." ”
Zhu Rong said: "The Yang family may not want to turn their faces, the emperor has his calculations, and now there are people who intervene behind their backs, and the people involved in them are difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me for a while, and it is difficult not to mess up." ”
As they spoke, they walked to the side of the road, and just saw the carriage in front of them, surrounded by a dozen or so maids, the carriage walked very slowly, and gradually approached, and saw clearly the word "victory" written on the lantern.
I don't know if the person who came was the county lord or the princess, the two stood on the side of the road, the carriage passed in front of them, slowly stopped, the curtain was lifted, and Yao Nian's voice came: "It's so late, you are still inspecting the palace guards?" ”
Mu Kaijiang asked rhetorically: "It has long passed the palace ban hour, why did the county lord leave the palace at this moment?" ”
Yao Nian looked at him, with complicated emotions entangled in each other's eyes, and she responded: "The concubine is unwell, I serve left and right, why do I have to inform Commander Mu of my whereabouts?" ”
"Wechen doesn't dare." "The minister is worried about the safety of the county lord. ”
Yao Nian didn't want to deliberately find fault, put down the curtain and said: "The capital doesn't seem to be peaceful tonight, I hope you two take care." ”
The carriage slowly moved away, and the lantern with the word "victory" was particularly dazzling in the dark night, and Zhu Rong patted Kaijiang's shoulder: "There will always be a day when the clouds and fog will disperse, and you and I will also catch up with the good time." ”
Kaijiang smiled bitterly: "I hope that fewer innocent people will suffer, you go back quickly, don't worry about help." ”
Zhu Rong persuaded his brother to leave first, and he had to wait for his father to leave the palace.
At this moment, in the main hall of the deep palace, there is only one candle swaying, but it is enough to project the emperor's figure on the wall, as soon as the wind blows, the candle flame shakes, and the shadow of Emperor Jiasheng becomes erratic and hideous.
"Cheng Qian, they are still alive." Emperor Jiasheng said, "For five whole years, if they don't come to me for revenge, what are they waiting for?" ”
