Chapter 209 Returns

The office of the emperor of Tianqian Palace. Ever since he got older, the emperor has been resting here a lot of the time.

On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the emperor got up, and the close eunuch Huang Gonggong immediately brought someone in to wait for him to get up.

After getting dressed and washed, Gonggong Huang helped him to the bronze mirror and combed the emperor's hair. At this time, a eunuch walked in with a bowl of steaming pottion.

Gonggong Huang combed the emperor's hair bun, then put down the comb in his hand, picked up the bowl of soup and medicine and respectfully brought it to the emperor, and said softly: "Your Majesty, drink the medicine while it is hot, the effect of the medicine will be good." ”

The emperor looked at the bowl of black decoction and frowned in disgust, "I have drunk this medicine for so long, and my body has not improved......

Gonggong Huang bent down and whispered, "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor said that this heart disease should be cultivated slowly. ”

The emperor snorted heavily, with some anger on his face: "Quacks, a group of quacks!" He slapped the table hard.

Gonggong Huang hurriedly knelt down: "The emperor is angry!" "Persuasion every day has become the hardest work for Huang Gonggong.

The Emperor turned his head angrily, his eyes touching his own white hair and wrinkled face in the bronze mirror, and he was suddenly stunned. He stared blankly at the image in the bronze mirror, the anger on his face gradually disappeared, and after a while, he let out a long sigh and said softly: "Birth, old age, sickness and death are never under our control......

The emperor's face showed a kind of sadness, and after a while, he said to Huang Gonggong, "Go and bring Li Xing over." ”

Ah Xing knelt on the ground, her head bowed deeply, speculating in her heart about the emperor's intention of calling her over. It can't be to kill her, how can the emperor kill someone on the first day of the new year, this is a big bad luck! So, he wants to let himself out? Then there's no need to call her over, it's very convenient to go down with a will.

Just as Ah Xing was thinking nonsense, the emperor's old and slightly tired voice sounded: "Li Xing, have you ever studied?" The tone was gentle, as if he was doing homely.

Ah Xing couldn't guess the emperor's intentions, so she replied: "The people's daughter was poor when she was young, and she couldn't read, but she only knew a few words!" ”

The emperor slowly approached her, Ah Xing raised her eyes slightly, the bright yellow corners of her clothes in front of her swayed gently, and the pearl on the dragon boots was dazzling. Ah Xing was a little nervous in her heart.

"It's rare to have such insight just by knowing a few words, no wonder everyone calls you a talented girl! Your poem "Looking at the Moon and Huaiyuan" is indeed a good poem! ”

Ah Xing listened to the emperor's gentle tone, and couldn't help but raise her head slightly, but saw the emperor looking at her in a daze, with a faint smile in his eyes. Ah Xing's heart was relieved, knowing that the emperor had basically lost his anger.

"Emperor Xie praises!"

The Emperor bowed his hand and looked at her again. said regretfully: "It's a pity that ...... as a woman" and then the topic changed again: "Li Xing, is the content of your drama real?" Are the people really living in peace and contentment, as you say, and living in abundance? ”

"Back to the emperor, as far as the people know, most of the people have no worries about food and clothing, of course, there are also people who live in poverty, but which dynasty and which generation have no poor people? The emperor can make most of the people worry about food and clothing, and he is already the best king in the eyes of the people! Although Ah Xing's words deliberately flattered the emperor, what she said was also the truth, this sycophant was not too much, and it was more real in the ears of the emperor than those ministers who said, "The road is not left behind, and the night is not closed". The emperor was very useful.

The emperor suddenly sank his face: "This time you temporarily changed your role on the stage to bluff Yu Zhen is a fact!" He deserves to be punished! Ah Xing was shocked. Hurriedly lowered her head, and just as she was screaming in her heart, the emperor's face suddenly slowed down: "However, your drama makes me very happy, and its merits deserve a reward!" In this case, you can go back to celebrate the New Year with your family today! ”

Ah Xing was overjoyed, and sincerely kowtowed to the emperor: "Thank you for the emperor's grace!" ”

The emperor smiled lightly, looked down at her and said, "Li Xing, you have successfully pulled this accident into the original orbit of the matter. I appreciate your courage and insight! I remember you! ”

Is it a good thing to be remembered by the emperor? Ah Xing didn't have time to think now, at this time, her heart was filled with the great joy of regaining her freedom, and she couldn't say anything other than thanksgiving.

On the same day, the emperor ordered the theater to be released. The people in the theater wept with joy for the rest of their lives. Father-in-law Li sent their outfits and props in accordance with the will, and when he saw Ah Xing, he smiled and congratulated: "My father-in-law knows that Boss Li is a blessed person, and he will be auspicious!" Ah Xing was happy in her heart, and stuffed the filial piety silver to him: "Inherit the auspicious words of the father-in-law!" ”

The group returned to the theater. Because it happened last night, and it was released early in the morning, so the news hasn't had time to get out, and the people in the theater don't know what happened to them in the palace. When the actors came back and told them about it, it was thrilling and made everyone's hearts beat wildly.

Li Runfu wiped the sweat on his head and said to his daughter: "I knew something was going to happen, my eyelids were jumping during this time, I didn't expect it to be so dangerous, fortunately, you can come back safely, otherwise ......" Thinking that his daughter was almost executed by the emperor, Li Runfu's eyes were red.

Ah Xing hurriedly went up and grabbed her father's arm and said, "Daddy, don't worry, didn't I come back well?" This year is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it is unlucky to shed tears! ”

Liu Guihua also persuaded each other on the side, and Li Runfu was in a relaxed mood after some persuasion from his family. Yun Duo pulled Ah Xing aside and asked her what happened. Chen Jing saw that A-Xing was a little tired, so she told Yun Duo in detail. Yun Duo couldn't help but raise his brow when he heard everyone's suspicion of Qiaoying. "If Qiao Ying is really like this, I will definitely not spare her!"

Ah Xing shook her head and said, "Qiao Ying said that this incident was completely an accident, I believe her." She doesn't look like a liar! ”

Yun Duo saw that Ah Xing believed in Qiao Ying, and he didn't want to say anything, but he paid more attention to Qiao Ying in the future.

In the evening, everyone gathers to celebrate the aftermath of the disaster. Qiao Ying saw that everyone didn't want to see her, so she shrank in the courtyard and didn't come out. Everyone drank until late at night before leaving.

In the following days, the encounter of Tingsong Theater in the palace gradually spread, angering the emperor but being able to survive not dying, which made Tingsong Theater even more mysterious for A Xing, it is rumored that Princess Yunluo and A Xing are friendly, and it is rumored that A Xing has been appreciated by the emperor, no matter what kind of rumors, it has improved A Xing's status in everyone's hearts a lot, after all, those who can escape death in the palace are not simple characters.

As for Qiao Ying, the relationship with everyone is still lukewarm. Since everyone was freed, although their resentment towards Qiao Ying has faded a lot, there is always a knot in the face of her, and Qiao Ying's temperament is quite arrogant, and the things that have been explained will no longer be often talked about. Believe it, believe it, and pull it down if you don't believe it! If Ah Xing hadn't always believed in Qiao Ying, it is estimated that people like Lishan would have already pushed her out, but Ah Xing's protection made Lishan, who wanted to be on the throne, helpless.

The day suddenly reached the eighth day of the new year. On this day, Ali braved the wind and snow and returned to the capital Tiandu.

As soon as he came back, he couldn't take a break, so he went directly to the Jingwei Yamen to find Shen Yuanfeng. Shen Yuanfeng was surprised and happy to see him, he had been anxiously waiting for news from him these days, but he also knew that Jincheng was far away from here, and Ali would not be able to come back in less than a month. But I didn't expect that in just twenty days, Ali would come back!

Shen Yuanfeng took him to his lounge, and when he entered the door, he asked, "Ali, how can it be so fast?" ”

Ali patted the wind and snow on his body, and when Shen Yuanfeng saw this, he asked people to fetch hot water to wash his face.

Ali took advantage of the time to say to Shen Yuanfeng: "I worked hard all the way, and I changed a lot of horses to save half of the time on the road!" ”

Shen Yuanfeng looked at his haggard face and the dark halo under his eyes, and knew that he was working day and night, and he didn't have a good rest at all, and his heart couldn't help but be moved. He patted Ali on the shoulder and said sincerely, "Ali, thank you for your hard work." ”

Ali smiled innocently: "How can you say bitterness when you do things for the young master." ”

At this time, the official fetched hot water and came in with hot tea. Shen Yuanfeng asked him to drink saliva first, wash his face and then reply.

Ali knew that the young master was anxious, so he wiped his face indiscriminately, and after pouring another cup of hot tea, he began to tell the news he had found in Jincheng one by one.

"I bribed a family member of the Hu family with a lot of money, and the family Ding said that the girl Xing didn't know what it was for, and she was crazy to take her sister and child away, and the Hu family naturally refused, so she took someone to stop it, and during the conflict, the girl Xing injured a lot of people, and later escaped from the Hu Mansion with the help of a pair of masters (I guess it is the Chen sisters), the Hu family was naturally unwilling, reported to the official, bribed the government to want their two sisters, saying that they wanted to see people alive and corpses when they died. At that time, the government also arrested many people from the theater and forced them to ask about their whereabouts! ”

Every time Ali said a word, Shen Yuanfeng's face sank a little, and when he heard the last pair of eyes, he was cold, and murderous intentions appeared frequently. How could Ah Xing do such a thing for no reason? It must be that the Hu family has used some dirty and obscene means again! How frightened she must have been. How anxious, but he was not by her side, he could not share a little bit for her, and let her bear this pain and fright alone!

Then Ali's tone changed: "But the next thing is strange, overnight, the Hu family retreated, the government revoked the wanted notice, and released the people in the theater, as if it had never happened, but Ah Xing's sister took the child back to her parents' house, one of the two children is a boy, and the Hu family does not pursue it, as if this matter has nothing to do with them!" Some people say that it is because there is an extremely powerful figure who puts pressure on the Hu family, and although the Hu family is unwilling, they have to let go! ”

Shen Yuanfeng pursed his lips, his body tightened, who else could put pressure on the Hu family in Jincheng? Needless to say, he can also guess that there is only his father! Li Yin has always been a life-saver for her father, but how did she know that her father would never do meaningless things, and his shot must be conditional and purposeful!

Ali raised his head and glanced at Shen Yuanfeng, and said softly: "And ten days after the incident has passed, you will return to Jincheng......

And at that time, everything was already a foregone conclusion. Ah Xing's "ruthlessness" and Ah Xing's "betrayal" are the purpose and conditions of his father's shot!

Ali lowered his head: "Young master, maybe we are wrong to blame Miss A-Xing." "He's not a fool, how could things be so coincidental, naturally someone is secretly controlling everything, who this person is, is about to come out.

Shen Yuanfeng clenched his hands into fists, his body kept trembling, at this time, he couldn't tell whether he hated more or was more sad, he only knew that his heart was very uncomfortable and painful.

Ali muttered: "No wonder the younger sister of the Chen family has been following Ah Xing, I think they are in the know...... Ah Li walked to Shen Yuanfeng's side and put his hand on his shoulder, "Young master, you go to Miss Ah Xing, you are like this, even I look uncomfortable!" ”

Shen Yuanfeng shook his head and sat down on the chair next to him: "Father must still have something in his hand that can threaten Ah Xing, if this threat cannot be lifted, Ah Xing will not accept me!" And I can't bear to let Ah Xing be under pressure because of me anymore! ”

Ali touched his head: "Threat? What is it? ”

Shen Yuanfeng stroked his chin and pondered for a while, his blue eyes flickered, and after a while, he stood up "hoof", "It's a household registration!" It's Li Yin's household registration! The reason why the Hu family did not pursue it was because there was no household registration of Li Yin in their hands! So she can't prove her identity as a concubine! The household registration should still be in the hands of my father now! He is the user to threaten A-Xing! ”

Ali had a sudden expression of understanding, then sighed again, and said softly: "Miss A-Xing is so pitiful...... and then his eyes lit up: "Young master, as long as we steal the household registration, won't all the problems be solved?" But...... Since this household registration is so important, it must have been properly collected by the prince. ”

Shen Yuanfeng put his hands around his chest, walked to the window, looked at the heavy snow outside the window, and a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"On the father! This time he came for my family's business, and since he knew that Ah Xing was here, how could he not bring this magic weapon with him? ”

***

On the other hand, King Jin has been in contact with Zhang Xiang many times, and the two have reached a preliminary agreement on the relationship between their children and daughters.

Although the King of Jin was a vassal king, he had always been loyal to the emperor, and the emperor had always trusted him, as can be seen from the fact that the emperor was able to appoint his son to such an important position as Jingwei Tongzhi. Therefore, Zhang Xiang was not worried that marrying the vassal king would arouse the emperor's suspicion. In addition, the prince of the East Palace has long had a crown princess, and his daughter will become a palace concubine in the future, but on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, everyone can hear the sound of the emperor, the prince has not yet ascended the throne, and now it is better not to be too close to the East Palace. The Zhang family has no shortage of daughters, and in the future, when the prince ascends the throne, it will be good to send the school-age daughter to the palace. In this way, Zhang Xiang changed his mind and began to take King Jin's courtship seriously, after all, his daughter was not young. And Shen Yuanfeng is a promising young man.

In fact, with Shen Yuanfeng's strength, he can also be promoted slowly, and it is possible to become a third-grade member or even a second-grade member over time, but it is precisely because of this that Shen Yuanfeng needs a powerful in-law, so that his future official career will be smoother and more stable! Is there a more suitable in-law than Zhang Xiang? is Zhang Qingqiu herself, King Jin is also extremely satisfied, talented, good-looking, and complete, King Jin has regarded her as the best choice for his daughter-in-law.
