Chapter 205: White Aya
Lin Ruhai was afraid that Lin Lang would be playing wild outside, so he told Qi Lan that he would only be allowed to go out once every half month in the future. Qi Lan made a lot of wooden toys in the yard, which not only had the effect of polishing his body, but also allowed Lin Lang to play to his heart's content and consume his excess energy.
In the capital, the emperor knew that Xiang Yunting was robbed by mountain bandits, but he didn't react after saying "um".
The Shangshu of the Criminal Department didn't know what the emperor meant, so he asked the emperor: "Your Majesty! How do you think this Yunting case will be handled? ”
"Ask me everything! If a person has been robbed, shouldn't he go to the sea to catch papers? His family will also be beheaded! ”
"Yes! Wechen understands what to do! Then Weichen retired first! ”
The emperor waved his hand impatiently, and the secretary of the criminal department silently withdrew from the imperial study.
The emperor continued to bury his head in correcting the folds, and at this time, Gonggong Shi came in and reported: "Your Majesty! Concubine Xiang Niangniang came to see the emperor again! Now I'm kneeling outside! ”
"She likes to kneel, so let her kneel!" The emperor did not raise his head, and the movements of his hand to correct the folds never stopped.
Gonggong Shi didn't bother the emperor anymore, and quietly went out to say to Xiang Xiaoqin: "Concubine Xiang, let's go back, the emperor won't see you!" ”
Since Xiang Xiaoqin's father Xiang Yunting's accident, the body that she had just raised has been losing weight day by day, and her ruddy face has become pale and dark. She cried and begged Gonggong Shi in a low voice: "Gonggong Shi! Please, help me say good things to the emperor, as long as the emperor is willing to meet me! ”
"Hey! Concubine Xiang, why are you suffering? The emperor is angry now, and it's useless to say anything! It's important that you go back and take care of your body! ”
Xiang Xiaoqin refused to give up, no matter how Gonggong Shi persuaded her, she just knelt in front of the door of the imperial study and didn't leave. Gonggong Shi persuaded her to no avail, so he stopped caring about her. In this way, Xiang Xiaoqin knelt in front of the door of the imperial study for a whole day. It wasn't until snowflakes began to fall in the sky that she asked the palace maid to help her up and went back unwillingly.
"Gone!" The emperor suddenly spoke.
Gonggong Shi stood by the window and glanced out and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Xiang has already left, and it is snowing outside!" ”
The emperor's hand paused for a moment, and then sneered: "I don't even want to endure hardships in acting, and I want to beg me to spare her life?" ”
Ten days later, Xiang Yunting's family members were escorted to the capital, and the Criminal Department acted quickly this time, and the verdict came down in less than two days. Originally, the Xiang family did not have to die except for Xiang Yunting, at most the men were sentenced to exile, and the women were confiscated into official prostitutes. However, because Xiang Yunting colluded with mountain bandits to rob and escape, all the people in the Xiang family were sentenced to beheading.
Xiang Xiaoqin, who got the news, immediately fainted, and after waking up, she was about to get out of bed and plead with the emperor, of course, for herself. She knew that at this time, she couldn't save her family at all, so she could only ask the emperor for mercy so as not to be angry with her.
But Xiang Xiaoqin's good luck seemed to have come to an end, and before she went out, the eunuch who delivered the decree entered the small courtyard where she lived.
"Xiang Xiaoqin, the daughter of the criminal minister Xiang Yunting, receives the order! Fengtian Carrier...... Give Xiang Xiaoqin a piece of white silk and finish it by itself. Chin this! ”
Xiang Xiaoqin couldn't believe that the man who was still in love with him a few days ago would decide his life and death overnight. Although she has no love for men and women for the emperor, but the emperor gave up her so ruthlessly for a hundred days, so she couldn't accept it. Xiang Xiaoqin looked at the white silk in the eunuch's hand, trembling backwards, and scolded as she retreated: "Bastard! You rootless sluts, you are trying to harm me by falsely preaching the holy decree, I want to see the emperor, I want to see the emperor! The emperor won't let me die, the emperor won't let me die! What are you going to do? I don't care about you! Get out of here! ”
Xiang Xiaoqin pushed away the two eunuchs in front of him with all his might, and ran out like crazy. But after only two steps of running, someone grabbed her by the hair from behind and dragged her back. The two eunuchs quickly wrapped Bai Aya around Xiang Xiaoqin's neck, and the two of them grabbed Bai Aya by one side, and then pulled hard at the same time.
Xiang Xiaoqin struggled hard, kicking the ground with both legs, and wanted to grab the white silk wrapped around her neck with both hands. However, as Bai Aya contracted a little, Xiang Xiaoqin's face turned red, her eyes bulged outward, and her mouth was wide open to breathe in desperately. Gradually, Xiang Xiaoqin stopped struggling, and her hands hung down from her neck. After Xiang Xiaoqin didn't move, the two eunuchs let go of their hands, probed Xiang Xiaoqin's snort with their hands, and after confirming that she had swallowed her breath, they got up and prepared to leave. One of the eunuchs spat at Xiang Xiaoqin's corpse before leaving, "What! Do you really think it's great to get the emperor's favor, is the emperor's favor so easy to get? Hum! Stupid woman! ”
Xiang Xiaoqin didn't understand what the emperor's favor meant before she died, but when she died, she understood that the emperor never really favored her.
Xiang Xiaoqin's death made Wang Guifei happy for a few days, but thinking of her son, who was still locked up in her own mansion and ordered to study, Wang Guifei began to worry again. Now that the emperor loves him as much as before, Wang Guifei has used a lot of methods to make the emperor open his mouth to spare the three princes. In fact, Wang Guifei is just doing a disservice! The emperor originally just wanted to lock him up for a year and a half, so let the third prince come out, and slowly let him accept some more government affairs. But the more Wang Guifei is so active in currying favor with the emperor for her son, the emperor will think that the third prince has not extinguished his restless heart, so he doesn't want to let the three princes out.
Wang Guifei knew that her mother's family had received a lot of treasures from Xiang Yunting, and she was also very worried that the emperor would be angry with the Wang family if she found out. In short, Xiang Xiaoqin's death did not give Wang Guifei real peace of mind.
On this day, Jia Daishan entered the palace and quietly brought Jia Min's New Year's gift to the queen and the emperor into the palace. When the emperor went to the queen's place for dinner in the evening, the queen excitedly took the cloud brocade and the silk yarn sent by Jia Min to the emperor, and after the emperor saw it, he said in surprise: "This is sent by Jiamin and Lin Ruhai?" How is it better than the tribute from the Jiangnan side? And is this Kyauksha? They also have a heart, and if they get such good things, they will give them to us if they don't keep them for themselves! ”
"The emperor is half right! These are good New Year's gifts from Lord Lin and his wife, but this cloud brocade and silk yarn are woven by Jia Min's silk village, and this silk yarn was given to us after only one horse! Jia Min also gave the emperor a good thing! He said that he would take the envelope containing the drawings of the Qiluo loom to the emperor.
