Min Yanshi asked Kaijiang: "What about you, I heard that my uncle is sick." ”

Kaijiang smiled bitterly: "I was persuaded by me and my brother to be at home, and I was angry, but I am a little old." ”

Min Yanshi bowed: "I want to come to a few brothers who can also see the situation clearly." ”

Kaijiang snorted: "That's natural, just my father, let him go back to the court, how to make it?" His wish in life is to die on the battlefield, how can we make him die on the court? ”

At this time, sensing that someone was coming, the two understood each other, said a few innocuous words, and said goodbye to each other.

It was the official who came to try Zhu Chengqian with Min Yanshi, and although Zhu Chengqian is now in prison, he has not been convicted and has not been dismissed, Min Yanshi can see that several people are still respectful to him.

If Min Yanshi is not the son-in-law of the Zhu family, if he is not the person who denounces the Zhu family, he will be a little more polite, the court officialdom, never know what will happen tomorrow today, who will not learn to leave a way back for himself.

But at the moment, Min Yanshi doesn't need to think about this, his relationship with the Zhu family is completely "over".

"Yanshi, Yanshi!" Suddenly, a voice came from the cell on the side, it was his father-in-law, Zhu Chengye was lying on the cell door and calling him.

Min Yanshi walked a few steps, still polite: "Father." ”

"Heh......" Zhu Chengye was disgusted and resentful, if it weren't for the prison doors, he was afraid that he would have to do something to Min Yanshi, but because of the separation of a door, he couldn't go out of anything, and he couldn't take care of anything, so he begged his son-in-law, "You go and tell the emperor, I have evidence in my hand, I want to report Zhu Chengqian, I have evidence, you tell the emperor." ”

Min Yanshi didn't say anything, just said goodbye and followed the group in front of him.

"Yanshi, virtuous son-in-law......" Zhu Chengye shouted, "I am your father-in-law, Min Yanshi, how can you be worthy of Yunzhi if you treat me like this?" ”

And said that after Kaijiang left the prison, he returned to the imperial city, changed his clothes and entered the inner palace.

When he arrived at the imperial front, the emperor retreated left and right, and asked him about Zhu Chengqian, and the monarch and his ministers walked slowly onto the long bridge and said a lot of things.

On this side, everyone flocked to the queen to the pavilion to warm up, and the concubine came and asked in a tone of voice: "Niangniang, can the concubine sit down?" ”

The queen bowed: "Sit down, I've been walking for a long time, and I'm tired." ”

The concubine smiled: "How old is the concubine, how old is the concubine, and the years are not forgiving." ”

The queen took the tea, although the tea is bitter, but the aftertaste is sweet, warm the internal organs, and make people feel refreshed.

She didn't care about the concubine's provocation at all, for so many years, the woman next to her was a few pounds and a few taels, and what tricks and abilities she had in her bones could be seen clearly in her eyes.

The concubine is proud, when she was just reinstated, she was still cautious, who knew that things were changing faster and faster, overnight, the biggest force in the queen's family, fell when she said it, this time the Yang family had to work hard to clear up the relationship with the Zhu family, not to mention that everything had to look at the face of her Min family.

"Guess, what is Mu Kaijiang talking to the emperor?" The concubine looked into the distance, shook her head and sighed, "People are cold, on weekdays, he and Zhu Rong are like brothers, but now that something happened to the Zhu family, he immediately cleared himself up and guarded the emperor wholeheartedly." ”

The queen didn't think so, and concentrated on picking a piece of preserved fruit from the plate, only to see the crown princess and several princesses come and salute the queen and the concubine.

"The sons and daughters just got the news, and they couldn't come to serve, and they asked the queen mother and the concubine to forgive their sins." As the crown princess spoke, she stepped forward to serve the tea, as quiet and atmospheric as ever, and she couldn't see that the prince was under house arrest by the emperor.

As for the four princesses, they were not in harmony with the concubine, she didn't care about what the concubine was happy about, and she wouldn't gloat when the concubine was unhappy, but she just stood on the side with the other concubines, didn't say a word, and didn't look at her mother-in-law.

Therefore, how the concubine squeezed her eyebrows, the daughter-in-law just ignored it, and soon after, the crown princess held the tea cage and went to the other end of the long bridge, so as to serve her father and warm herself with tea.

The concubine couldn't swallow this breath, and deliberately asked, "How many days is the prince doing?" ”

The queen said, "He studied in retreat, and I didn't ask about it." ”

The concubine smiled coldly: "Why should Niangniang hide it, is it possible that there are still two princes in this imperial city?" What everyone knows inside and outside the palace, why should you lie to your concubines. ”

The queen glanced at her and asked, "In the palace, there are two princes?" ”

The concubine's eyebrows frowned slightly, knowing that she had lost her words, so she replied calmly: "I'm just making an analogy." ”

The queen looked at the young concubines playing by the lake, pointed to one of them wearing a goose yellow palace robe and said: "The emperor has favored Zhang Jieyu a lot recently, and the palace says that Zhang's eyebrows are very similar to you." ”

The concubine said in disgust: "Little slut, how can the queen compare it with the concubines?" ”

The queen said: "Yes, after all, the Zhang family is not only beautiful, but also extremely smart, if you entered the palace ten years earlier, what else can you do?" ”

"You!" The concubine said angrily, "Niangniang wants to humiliate me in front of her daughters-in-law? ”

The queen drank tea again and said to the four princesses: "I remember that you like plum blossoms, and that place is blooming just right, let's take a look." ”

The four princesses respectfully responded and took the initiative to come forward to support the queen, as if the queen was her serious mother-in-law, and she actually put her relatives aside.

When they walked out of the pavilion, the queen asked, "I have embarrassed you like this, how can I turn back and talk to your mother-in-law?" ”

The fourth princess said: "Right now, it's not the time to care about the shortcomings of the parents, and the sons don't care about a few reproaches. ”

The queen smiled and asked, "What do you say?" ”

The fourth princess said: "Your Highness's heart, you know, he respects the prince's brother and has never shaken the heart of the East Palace." But right now, it is not the position of the prince that will be shaken, but the ......"

"Don't say it, kid." The queen said, "If you say it, it will be a sin." ”

The fourth princess nodded cautiously: "Erchen understands." ”

Queen Yang sighed for a long time, in the cold air, there was a bit of fragrance, it was the plum blossoms that were frosty and snowy, which made the cold winter wax moon full of vitality.

The fourth princess said: "Queen Mother, Your Highness doesn't know what she can do, and she is confused. ”

The queen said: "There is nothing to do at the moment, wait for the war report on the border first, calculate the days, and there are still three days before Prince Sheng and his party can reach the border." Once the war starts, it will take four or five days, and then wait for the war report to be transmitted back to the capital, and on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, we will know everything. ”

The fourth princess said: "His Royal Highness said that he is willing to ...... for the prince's brother"

The empress shook her head and looked at the child with a solemn expression: "No, the fish die and the net is broken, it will only make the villain profitable, it is too early to say anything, on Chinese New Year's Eve, everything is decided, I will naturally arrange the future of their brothers." ”

Not long after, Mu Kaijiang left, and the emperor also came here to enjoy the plums, he was in a particularly good mood today, which made the queen feel unreal.

However, before the garden was dispersed, a minister asked to see him, and asked the emperor to show whether to raid the Zhongguo Mansion.

Who in the world doesn't know, Zhu family business for three hundred years, the house is full of gold and jade, and the people in the palace are imprisoned this time, because there is no such a big cell in the city to be detained, so they can only be locked up in the duke's palace in place, and the forbidden army has specially allocated manpower, but it is impossible to turn around.

If you go to check this time, I am afraid that it will take a month or two just to settle the accounts, but all the officials who handle it, even if each person catches two hands, will not be able to see it in the end.

Under such a big temptation, it is inevitable that there will be fools who want to take the lead in doing this, but Min Yanshi, as the chief judge, did not come to ask for the will, and there must be a contradiction among them.

"Let's talk about it." Emperor Jiasheng was quite calm, and even asked, "Why didn't Min Yanshi come?" ”

The minister said, "Lord Min does not agree with the raid of the Duke's Palace, and the ministers have disagreements. ”

Emperor Jiasheng said: "Since I appointed Min Yanshi as the chief judge, you naturally want to take him as the first judge, why do you skip the level and tell me, you broke the rules first, don't blame him for being ruthless in the future." You are all older than him, and after so many years in the court officialdom, you are not as good as a young man? Don't take it by your seniority, for now he is the presiding judge, and you must obey him. ”

The queen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and only after the few people retreated, did she say: "The concubine heard from the concubine that the Min Mansion has been making trouble in the past few days, and the second girl of the Zhu family is very strong and unwilling to live alone." ”

The concubine was not far away, with her back to the emperor and empress, but just looking at the back and the four princesses facing here, she knew that she was a mother-in-law.

Emperor Jiasheng said: "I have also heard that the husband and wife almost broke up. ”

The queen asked: "Have you ever doubted that Min Yanshi and Mu Kaijiang have always had a close relationship with Zhu Rong, and a teenager like them can only live and die together, how could they do anything to abandon their brothers and sisters." ”

Emperor Jiasheng smiled coldly: "I don't trust anyone now, but since they are still useful, I will keep them and wait for the heads of their father and son to be sent to the capital, and everything will be settled." ”

The queen asked, "Is the emperor sure?" ”

Emperor Jiasheng stood with his hands in his hands, took a deep breath, sighed at the elegant fragrance of plum blossoms, held the queen's hand and continued to move forward, and said, "He will definitely die." ”
