Chapter Seventy-Five: Is It a Qincha or a Yincha?
Chapter Seventy-Five: Is it a Chin Cha or a Yin Cha?
Chunying, Wisteria and the others crowded at the corner gate, and could only see a few soldiers escorting the angels and two teenagers who were suspected of being little eunuchs, and they were a little depressed. Compared with the imaginary situation of a very grand sedan chair or a tall horse and a large group of sergeants, these few people in front of the main courtyard are too low-key, and the emperor sent someone to read out the holy decree?
The people in the courtyard moved, and even the soldiers led by the courtyard gate also gestured to their subordinates, could it be that someone wants to come out?! Chun Ying immediately cheered up and wanted to see more clearly, but out of nowhere, a man in his thirties and forties wearing a dark blue crepe robe ran out of nowhere, and shouted at a group of young men and girls: "Go, go!" Aren't you going to disperse?! See what this looks like?! The little girls were so frightened that they screamed and scattered, and Chun Ying was still wondering who this was, and she was pulled away quickly by Wisteria.
Wisteria said as she ran, "It's dangerous! That's the black old seven in front of Hou Ye, who is in charge of the carriage and horses, and loves us the most, but fortunately he runs fast! ”
Chunying turned back while running, and saw from a distance at the gate of the main courtyard, Hou Ye and the Third Young Master and others standing next to a fat man in dark green clothes. The fat man was a little hunchbacked, but his expression was a little cold, Chun Ying guessed in her heart, could he be the angel from the palace?
The third young master, Li You, returned to Huanhuaxuan almost a watch, his face was full of fatigue, and he weakly ordered to set up a meal and prepare a bath, so he threw himself on the couch and took a nap. Mei Xiang calmly asked everyone to carry the bath water that had been boiled several times into the house, and went to the small kitchen to watch the food.
Manru and Lu'er serve lightly. When Li You undressed, he woke up in shock, and let them fiddle with them in a daze, and then swayed into the bathtub, and immediately exhaled, so comfortable that he was about to moan.
Lu'er snickered and wrenched his shoulder: "Third Young Master, you haven't taken off your clothes yet, stretch out your arms." Only then did Li You realize that he was still wearing a close-fitting belly pocket, which was soaked with blisters, so he cooperated with Lu'er to take it off, and leaned on the edge of the bucket again to close his eyes and rest.
Lu'er whispered to Manru, "I'll go get it. Clothes, look at the water, don't let him catch a cold. Manru nodded, and she went. After a while, Mei Xiang came in from outside with a curtain and said to Li You: "The pomegranate in the wife's house just came, saying that the wife ordered that the big guys are tired today, and the third young master doesn't have to get up early tomorrow to ask for peace, and sleep a little longer." ”
Li You closed his eyes and nodded in understanding, and suddenly remembered something. The eye motioned for Mei Xiang to come over, whispered a few words, and Mei Xiang went knowingly. Man Ru vaguely heard the word "Chun'er" next to him, and suddenly felt a little bad in his heart, gritted his teeth, picked up the soft towel with a smile, approached the bath bucket, and gently wiped Li You's back.
While wiping, she asked softly: "What dish does the third young master want to eat tonight?.The small kitchen made smoked chicken, I was afraid that you would be tired, so I asked them to stew a vegetable core, is it okay?" ”
"What are you doing with all this trouble? Just make a stewed egg......" Li You's eyelids. I didn't even turn it over, and it seemed a little confused.
"Eggs...... Seems to have been. Ran out. Manru glanced at him secretly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "The small kitchen said...... Chun'er seems to often use eggs to make snacks, but I don't see her send them to the main house......"
"I'm annoyed!" Li You suddenly opened his eyes, "What does this trivial matter have to do with me?!" Don't look at what time it is?! He snatched the soft towel from her hand and rubbed it himself.
Manru was so frightened that her face turned white, and she hurriedly fell to her knees. Lu'er ran in from outside the tent when she heard the sound, and she didn't know what was going on, so she had to give the former a look and let her go out first, and then coaxed Li You softly, handed her the soft towel, and continued to serve him in the bath.
Manru walked out a little distracted, and saw Lan Xiang swaying in front of him with a mocking smile on her face, and Chen'er even spat at herself. Biting her lip, she forced herself back to her room, threw herself on the bed, curled up, and stared at the opposite wall.
Maybe...... She's too anxious, what is Chun'er? She has more important things to do......
After Chunying received Mei Xiang's instructions, she went to Zhumeng Villa early the next morning and brought the news that the Hou Mansion was fine. The latter was naturally relieved. But Chunying hasn't figured it out yet, what happened to the Hou Mansion? And how is it okay? What happened to Princess Jing now? And what is the truth of the matter?
It wasn't until it was almost noon that the third young master Li You came to visit Zhou Nian, and she didn't hear a few of these answers by chance.
The queen was in a mood for a while, so she asked her eldest sister to accompany her to the imperial garden for a walk to enjoy the flowers, and happened to meet Ma Xuan's attendant coming out of the queen mother's palace, and she seemed to have a bad face and tears. The queen asked her a few words of concern for a while, but she refused to say anything, so the queen had to invite her to enjoy the flowers together. Later, the queen got up to change her clothes, and only the eldest sister accompanied Ma Xuanshi, and somehow, Ma Xuanzhi was knocked down the steps. At that time, my eldest sister was half a foot away from her, but a few of the queen's maids stood beside her, and they were immediately taken down by the people in the queen mother's palace and escorted to the queen mother. My eldest sister was also asked to do circumstantial evidence. ”
Zhou Nian frowned: "So...... Princess Jing was not taken as a suspect? ”
"Of course not!" Li You said, "But the Queen Mother's people tried her as if she were a prisoner, and she had to admit that it was the queen's maid who pushed the horse to choose a servant!" Hmph, who knew that Ma Xuanzhi was pregnant with a dragon fetus? She didn't say anything! ”
Zhou Nian pondered for a moment before asking, "What happened?" ”
Later, when the emperor came, he immediately asked the queen to be sent back to Kunning Palace, and arranged for the eldest sister to live in other palaces. It was only said that he would stay in the palace for the time being until the truth was clarified. Ma Xuan's servant also sent a physician. And the maid beside her was taken away with the queen's maid, saying that she wanted to be inquired by the Zongren Mansion. Li You suddenly smiled, leaned closer to Zhou Nian and whispered, "There's something quite weird. The imperial physician reported to the emperor that when he checked the pulse of Ma Xuan, it was determined that she had lost both qi and blood, and it seemed that because she had not found pregnancy before, she was negligent in her diet, and it was difficult to keep this child, and even if she was saved, the prince and princess who gave birth would be congenitally deficient. Hearing that the Queen Mother's face changed at that time, she immediately summoned Master Liang into the palace to discuss. It's a pity that the Imperial Doctor was branched out, so I don't know what they discussed. But it was only after Taishi Liang left that Ma Xuanzhi walked into the imperial garden with a pale face. ”
Zhou Nian was a little surprised: "How do you know this?" What the palace envoy said?! ”
Li You shook his head a little proudly: "Of the four kilometers who came with the envoy, there was an eldest brother-in-law who waited for me, and quietly stuffed my eldest sister's letter to me while no one was there. These are the words of the letter. He thought about it, and the more he thought about it, the more funny it became: "I heard that Ma Xuanzhi sent someone to Kunning Palace to invite the emperor when he was in the first month, saying that she was very sick, and the emperor saw that she was pitiful and accompanied her for two days, which must be the root of the disease planted at that time." Do you think this is a way to lift a stone and shoot yourself in the foot? ”
Zhou Nian said angrily: "Where did you know these things? Beware of the Hou Ye knowing about you! ”
Li You pursed his lips disapprovingly, and continued: "The eldest sister may be back in two days." Although this time it was just a false alarm, those people were really hateful! Both father and eldest brother said that they should not be spared easily! ”
Zhou Nian's heart moved, and he smiled slightly: "The stack of files I handed over to Hou Ye earlier may be able to use ......"
Chun Ying turned her head outside the window to look at them, a little confused in her heart, why did Zhou Nian's expression look so much worse than usual now? It was as if he had changed into a different person. What is that stack of dossiers he was talking about?
Princess Jing really returned to King Jing's Mansion the next day, and King Jing almost immediately announced that his wife was sick and did not see any outsiders, and sent out all the officials and edicts who came to visit or "visit", except for sending a letter to his mother's house and the Qingguo Marquis Mansion to report his safety, he cut off contact with the outside world.
The Hou Mansion also sent someone to see Princess Jing, and the news that came back was that there was no major problem except for physical fatigue, and the people of the Hou Mansion breathed a sigh of relief. But Hou Ye did not intend to stop there, his revenge had just begun.
Within three days, a number of officials were found guilty of corruption. According to the laws laid down by Emperor Taizu and the laws amended by Emperor Taizong, these officials were dismissed and investigated within the first time. Since the Criminal Department has sufficient evidence to prove their crimes, no matter how hard some people in the DPRK and China try, they still cannot escape their crimes.
Among them, when the Criminal Department interrogated one of the officials who served in Dali Temple, it was found that he had bribed several so-called witnesses, accusing the former deputy capital Yu Shi Ye Wanshan of insulting the first emperor, embezzling public funds, and deceiving the monarch. This happens to be related to the Ye family's unjust case that the Marquis of Qingguo is seeking rehabilitation. When the emperor learned of this, he immediately ordered the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to jointly retry the case.
For a time, the situation in Beijing changed.
When Zhou Nian learned the news, his face was expressionless, but there was a coldness in his eyes.
Ye Wanshan is his own uncle, and back then, it was precisely because the Ye family was convicted that his father spoke for his wife's uncle, and he was hated by King Ke and the Liang Party. He was the only one left in the Zhou family, but the Ye family was exiled to Yazhou because of the help of his aunt's mother's family, except for the unjust death of his uncle Ye Wanshan. According to the news that Marquis Li heard from him, his aunt Fang and eldest cousin Xiuying both died of illness in Yazhou, but his cousin Bincheng and cousin Xiuzhen were safe and sound.
When he has redressed the grievances between the two families, he will bring them back to be reunited. Perhaps, that is already his only remaining relative......
The fall of the officials in the faction one after another did not seem to panic Liang Taishi. On the contrary, he also drank tea and chatted with a few old friends very leisurely, and went fishing outside the city during the break. Many people secretly laughed at him for being old and confused, and even his own cronies were anxious. But when Li Zhang, the Marquis of Qingguo, heard the news, not only did he not follow the joke, but instead ordered his friends and subordinates to act cautiously as if he were facing a great enemy. After all, Taishi Liang is an old fox, and he behaves so calmly, he must have something to do.
Just when Li Zhang was worried about what trickery was brewing by Taishi Liang, the latter came to the Qingguo Marquis Mansion in person with the emperor's reward will.
Li Zhang of the Hou Mansion immediately went out of the door, only to see Taishi Liang smile and say to him kindly: "Virtuous nephew, I haven't seen you for many days, how are you doing?" I have brought good news today, and the emperor has a great reward! Then he approached and patted his hand gently: "A few days ago, the old lady in the house was frightened, right?" It's all a misunderstanding! For the sake of explanation, I dispatched my old bones! You won't ...... Blame me, right? ”
Li Zhang paused and said with a smile: "How come? The Taishi can come to the cold house, it is really brilliant! Please! Come in! With a smile, he welcomed the old man, who was also smiling, into the door, and glanced at the attendants behind him, secretly frightened.
Come and read the holy decree of the reward, why did Taishi Liang bring so many soldiers in full armor? Should he ...... Do you want to do anything to the Hou Mansion? But after all, he came by holy decree, so he should not be so bold.
So...... Who came to the end...... Or is it a gloomy ?。.。
