Chapter 81: Keep Warm
Liu Yu's purpose is obvious, he wants to collect Bai Sheng for his own use.
The Ministry of Officials, which is related to the promotion and appointment of courtiers, is an important position.
However, Bai Sheng felt that the Nine Kings had no prospects, and he only didn't understand what he pushed and blocked, and he was not willing to serve him. But the other party came late at night, knowing that the majesty of his Nine Emperor Princes was not enough to make him surrender, so he secretly threatened with a lawsuit for his life, which was a headache.
He saw Liu Yu's look of ambition, and then glanced at the list of officials in his hand, and said: "Humble Jing often enters the East Palace to ask the crown princess for peace, and he also has some dealings with those two grandmothers, but their deaths have nothing to do with my Bai Mansion. ”
"Yes, it doesn't matter." Liu Yu continued with a smile: "But if it really doesn't matter, why did your lady send both the house and the gold, silver and jewelry?" Is there nothing unseemly told of this? ”
Bai Sheng frowned, annoyed, didn't the Hou Mansion already clean up the aftermath for his wife, why was it still found out?
Up to now, Bai Sheng didn't dare to underestimate the nine kings in front of him, who had no duties and no powers, and said solemnly: "Lord Wang, this is really a private matter of the Xiaguan Mansion. ”
Liu Yu asked with a smile: "Oh? What is it a private matter? ”
Bai Sheng was embarrassed, he didn't want to play up the affairs of his wife and daughter.
Liu Yu said clearly: "Isn't it that your lady bought those two grandmothers to assassinate Ling Yan privately?" ”
Bai Sheng was taken aback, "How does the prince know?" ”
Bai Jinghao outside the door also quietly clenched her fists, she was worried about her heart, not knowing what the Nine Kings were going to do. Isn't this tone here to seek justice for her?
The answer is clearly not.
But expecting her father's response, she carefully pricked up her ears.
Liu Yu responded bluntly: "This king has seen it." ”
Bai Sheng's face was strange, and he said after a while: "Then the prince should know that this is just a family matter of the lower officials, and it has nothing to do with the affairs of the court, let alone the matter of the queen's mother." ”
"Heh, doesn't Bai Shangshu understand the truth of selfless affairs in the palace? The matter happened in the palace, and the people in the palace were used, how could it be just a simple family matter? If this king wants to think that it is related, it is said that the noble lady was instructed by the imperial concubine to buy the grandmother of the East Palace to harm the queen with evil magic, and then the noble lady arranged for the concubine to kill people and destroy the mouth, is it also reasonable? ”
Bai Sheng made another move, bent his waist very low, and said in fear: "The lower official is loyal to His Majesty, and it is impossible to get involved in the queen. The affairs of the palace, let alone instruct his wife and daughter to harm the queen, and ask the prince to investigate. ”
"When the palace decides a case, the last thing you need is to be clear."
Bai Sheng's face was pale, such a grandiose threat was too much, right?
Seeing him like this, Liu Yu walked up to him with the list, and then said: "What's more, if you are simply loyal to Your Majesty, why should you get involved in partisan disputes?" Bai Shangshu, your loyalty to the six princes, this king knows very well. ”
At this time, Bai Sheng couldn't question the Nine Kings in turn, asking him why he was obviously on the same side as the Six Kings, but now he was so embarrassed by the Six Kings.
Fools can see that the Nine Kings and the Six Kings are not of the same mind.
He finally stretched out his hand, took the list of officials from the other party tremblingly, and whispered: "Since the prince has orders, then the officials will do their best." But whether His Majesty wants to use these people or not, the lower officials can't really be the master, if things can't be as the prince wants, please forgive the prince. ”
What Liu Yu wanted was his attitude, and he said with satisfaction: "Bai Shangshu is willing to contribute, it's too late for this king to thank you, how can you forgive me?" ”
He patted Bai Sheng, who had been struggling for a long time, and said softly, "Sit down." ”
The two sat down on the chairs next to them, and Bai Sheng asked curiously: "Dare to ask the prince, today the prince of Yunxi came to the mansion to ask the little girl for a confession, but the prince ordered it?" ”
Liu Yu generously admitted: "Exactly." ”
But according to the little girl, she did not see the imperial concubine seeing the two grandmothers privately that night. With such perjury, the lower officials are afraid that they will offend the Six Kings and the Prime Minister's Mansion. She is just the daughter of a small boudoir, and she asked the prince to raise her noble hand and let her go. ”
Bai Sheng felt that he had agreed to him, and the courtesy was exchanged, hoping that the other party could return the confession that might bring disaster to the Bai family.
This kind of thing involves the family, and it is no longer a trivial matter for one person.
But Bai Jinghao heard what his father said, and his heart was still warm, and he let go of his frozen hands slightly.
Liu Yu laughed lightly, "It seems that Bai Shangshu usually doesn't care enough about Ling Yan, so many days have passed, you don't know what happened to this king and Ling Yan that night." ”
Bai Sheng's expression tightened, and he said confusedly: "Dare to ask the prince, what's the matter?" ”
Bai Jinghao clenched his fists again.
Liu Yu pretended to be meaningful: "Isn't Shangshu curious, why is Miss Bai willing to give that false testimony even though she didn't see it?" The relationship between this king and Ling Yan is deep......"
Bai Sheng stood up again, "The little girl is ignorant and ignorant, if there is anyone who collides with the prince, please ask the prince not to remember the villain and let the little girl go." ”
After his words fell, he turned his head to look at the figure outside the study, and his heart was mixed, he never cared about what happened to his eldest daughter, but now he was very anxious, eager to find out what happened to the two of them.
Liu Yu bent the corners of his lips, held up his hands, and said with a smile: "Bai Shangshu doesn't have to be nervous, this king is not more accountable than Miss Bai, it's late at night, your father and daughter have a good time, and this king is gone." ”
This...... Bai Sheng's face stiffened, and he had to send him respectfully.
Pushing the door open, Bai Sheng glared at the eldest daughter who was guarding outside.
Bai Jing stood beside her with a good understanding, knowing that when Liu Yu left, she would face a lot of interrogation.
Just as he was thinking about it, a pair of brocade boots embroidered with moire stopped in front of him.
The candlelight under the corridor was dim, and it was not very real, but Liu Yu could see the resentment and irritability on the face of the young girl.
It was quickly covered up, but he still caught it.
Liu Yu handed the white jade ring decorated with plum blossoms to Bai Jinghao from his sleeve, and gently and kindly advised: "Since it is the object of the deceased mother, it is so precious, it is best for you to stay by your side." The affection of you and me does not need these mundane things. ”
Bai Jinghao raised his head in horror and looked at him speechless.
Bai Sheng's eyes widened next to him, and his eyes shuttled between them.
Bai Jing was alert, respectfully presented his hands, and said busily: "It turned out that the prince picked it up, thank you for returning it." ”
Liu Yu was full of smiles, and there was even a little doting in his tone, and he said arrogantly and compromisedly: "You said that this king picked it up, then pick it up." ”
After speaking, he deliberately glanced at Bai Shangshu, who was dumbfounded, and said to the girl who was still gentle: "In the cold winter of Layue, pay attention to keeping warm, don't get sick again with the cold." ”
Bai Jinghao had no choice but to answer with this sincere and hot gaze: "Thank you for your care." "I just hope that the other party will leave soon.
Who knows, the man suddenly asked, "You won't send me?" ”
"Huh?" Bai Jing looked at him in surprise, and under the candle in the corridor, the man really had anticipation on his face.
At this time, Bai Sheng, who was quietly looking left and right, finally interjected: "Lord Wang, the next official will send you." ”
Liu Yu raised his feet and left, and said loudly: "No need, Bai Shangshu, please stay." ”
