If the child in Aunt Qing's womb is a boy, it may not be a threat to him. Ping Bohou didn't like Xue in the first place, and he didn't like him. Aunt Qing is so favored, maybe the son she gave birth to will be favored by Ping Bohou, not to mention that Ping Bohou is still in the prime of life, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not have other thoughts and change his position as the son of the world. Wu Guowei must be careful next, and he can't let Ping Bohou catch the slightest mistake.
Xue Shi is not a stupid person, he understood the meaning of Wu Guowei's words, sighed, held his hand, pulled the corners of his mouth, and said with relief: "Guowei, what you said is right, it was my mother who was impulsive and caused you trouble." Don't worry, your mother will definitely not embarrass you next, so you can rest assured that you will please the eldest princess and marry the princess back to the house as soon as possible. ”
Aunt Qing let her go for the time being, she was just pregnant, and Ping Bohou must have protected her carefully. For a while, she couldn't find a suitable opportunity to attack her, but she still had a long few months to give birth, and Ping Bohou couldn't follow her all the time. Or even if the child is born, he may not be able to grow up safely, and he has the ability to compete with Wu Guowei, is she even afraid of an unborn child, thinking about it like this, Xue's heart is much more comfortable.
In the early morning of the next day, a major event occurred in the court, and Gu Mingrui, the prefect of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, made a twist and impeached Jin Kuibiao, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, for embezzling 220,000 taels of disaster relief silver allocated by the imperial court years ago. Jin Kuiye also sent someone to assassinate Gu Mingrui, but fortunately, Gu Mingrui's big life was saved because of his big life.
The Emperor threw the fold in front of everyone in shock, "What do I want you to do?" The relief money that I have allocated has been swallowed by others, and you don't know it. Only now have officials give me a favor, Jiang Feilong, you immediately send Jinyi Wei to me to investigate, and once verified, immediately give me Jin Kuibiao to correct the law on the spot! He didn't believe that anyone else would dare to touch the king's law and be greedy for the disaster relief silver.
It's not that he doesn't allow corrupt officials to exist, it's just that officials must have a bottom line, and no money can be touched, but Jin Kuibiao touched this bottom line, so don't blame the emperor for not showing mercy. Once Jin Yiwei is dispatched, he will soon be able to find out the truth of the matter. Three days later, Jiang Feilong told the emperor in the court that there was indeed such a thing, and Jin Kuibiao, the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, embezzled 220,000 taels of disaster relief silver allocated by the imperial court years ago, and also attempted to assassinate Gu Mingrui, the prefect of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Jin Kuibiao gave Jinyiwei the law on the spot, and the property searched from his house was as much as one million taels, and Jiang Feilong knelt in the court. The emperor could no longer hold back the anger in his chest, clenched his fists and creaked, "This is my imperial court official, who eats the king's fortune and worries about the king, but he has the idea of official silver." If there are any such people among you, or if you don't report it, I will rectify the corruption in officialdom from now on.
Jiang Feilong, from now on, I order you to start checking the officials in the provinces and places with the Jinyi Wei you have received, and if it is found that he has embezzled and accepted bribes, he will take off his crown and take him to Beijing. Since you have the courage to take the people's money, you must have the courage to bear the consequences. For a while, the government and the opposition were shocked, and everyone was in danger, for fear that if Jiang Feilong was provoked, they would find out about them.
There is no one in charge who is not greedy, almost everyone knows this, but they didn't expect the emperor to be so serious this time to investigate, and they couldn't help but resent Jin Kuibiao in their hearts. When people die, they cause such a great calamity. When this matter reached the ears of Ping Bohou, who was recuperating in the house, he couldn't help vomiting blood again, and scared Aunt Qing so much that her face was as white as rice paper, and she couldn't help but tremble, and then looked at Ping Bohou with tears in her eyes, and said, "Master Hou, don't scare the concubine, the concubine is timid." ”
Ping Bohou comforted Aunt Qing a few words, and left, he didn't have the heart to stay anymore now. A few days ago, he vomited blood and fainted, just because he got Jin Kuibiao and Gu Mingrui to make trouble. Unexpectedly, Gu Mingrui went to the emperor to tell him, and the emperor sent Jiang Feilong to investigate, and within three days, Jiang Feilong found out that Jin Kuibiao had indeed embezzled disaster relief money, and gave him to the law on the spot.
This is undoubtedly the place where Pingbohou calms down, Jiang Feilong is really the emperor's lackey, don't you know that you are accommodating. Now everyone in the capital is in danger, and no one dares to get into trouble with the Jinyi Guard, which makes them unhappy, and they begin to get into trouble. Aunt Qing didn't know why Ping Bohou was so angry, but she had to serve him carefully these days, and she must not make him unhappy.
When I woke up and learned that she was pregnant, I didn't know how happy I should be, and my tears couldn't stop flowing, I thought that she couldn't give birth to a son and a half daughter in this life, and she had her own bloodline. In her despair, God gave her a child, can she be ecstatic? Ping Bohou has Wu Guowei's sister-in-law, maybe she is not so happy, no matter what, she will do her best to keep the child in her womb.
Mama pushed open the door and whispered a few words in Aunt Qing's ear, only to see her good-looking eyebrows wrinkled together. Mama said slowly: "Auntie, if you don't want to see him, the old slave will drive him away!" "Wait, go and call him in, and I'll hear what he has to say." Just when Mama turned around and was about to walk to the door, she was suddenly stopped by Aunt Qing, Mama turned around and hesitated: "Auntie, you are pregnant now, the old slave is a little worried, if it happens, he has any bad intentions, I'm afraid it can't be prevented." ”
She still didn't suggest that Aunt Qing see him, Aunt Qing smiled and stretched out her hand, "Mama, don't worry, I have a number, you let him in." "If Aunt Qing guessed correctly, the reason why Wu Guowei was able to arrive in time this time must be Lin Dongxian's handwriting. Aunt Qing raised her head and glanced at Lin Dongxian who walked in, he would definitely not be stupid to get rid of the child in her womb for Wu Guowei, and provoke Ping Bohou's disgust for him.
If something happened to the child in her womb, Ping Bohou would definitely guess that one of the Xue family and Wu Guowei's mother and son had made a move, and he would definitely not spare them. If they really don't know how to be interested, then there is no way, just take this opportunity to get rid of them completely, this is what they forced her!
Besides, when Lin Dongxian came to her house, she had an accident, which had nothing to do with Wu Guowei. Who let Lin Dongxian be Wu Guowei's personal servant, if it were not for Wu Guowei's instructions, how could she dare to harm the child in her womb. Lin Dongxian raised her lips and said, "Aunt Qing, I have something I want to tell you alone." ”
The implication is to let Aunt Qing retreat left and right, and no one can be left around, especially the grandma who had a bad attitude towards her just now. When Mama heard this, she shook her head at Aunt Qing, indicating that she couldn't listen to her. Aunt Qing waved her hand, and the maids left, only Mama remained in place, not moving. "Mama, you listen outside the door, if your aunt calls you, you can push the door in immediately."
Lin Dongxian raised her eyebrows and said, what she wanted to say to Aunt Qing was very confidential, and it was best not to have a third person hear it. Mama finally left under the signal of Aunt Qing's eyes, and warned Lin Dongxian repeatedly with her eyes, not to use undesirable thoughts to hurt Aunt Qing and the child in her womb.
"You're really a rare guest, I can't invite you on weekdays, but you took the initiative to send it to the door today. If my guess is correct, the prince is not in the house? Aunt Qing smiled and stretched out her hand to play with Qianqianyu, which really made Aunt Qing guess right, Lin Dongxian nodded generously and smiled: "It's true, there is not much time, I'll make a long story short, if my aunt wants to give birth to the child in her womb safely, watch him grow up, marry a wife and have children, you must join forces with me." ”
"Oh!" A hint of surprise flashed in Aunt Qing's eyes, and she slowly sat up straight, and her scrutinizing gaze fell directly on her. "You are the person next to the prince, how do I know, it's not the prince digging a pit for me to jump into?" Aunt Qing is not stupid, even if as the saying goes, she is stupid for three years, she is not stupid to this point.
"My aunt must know that the prince is now in the limelight, and the emperor and queen summoned him to the palace a few days ago, intending to marry the eldest princess to him or one of the sons of Lin Xiang. I believe that with the identity of the prince and his appearance and conduct, if he fights, if he really becomes a concubine, his aunt's life in the house will not be easy in the future. Not to mention the child in your womb, my aunt has to plan for him.
To say something disrespectful, it is good that Hou Ye is now in the prime of life, but what is Hou Ye's body recently, Aunt Qing is afraid that it is very clear. Master Hou can't protect you thoroughly, even if you protect it for a while, you may not protect it for a lifetime. Lin Dongxian said slowly, and at the same time observed Aunt Qing's expression. Seeing her bow her head and ponder, it seemed that she had listened to her words.
Lin Dongxian was really besieged by Wu Guo and had no choice, who asked him to refuse to let her go, and sent people to keep an eye on her all the time. Today, I was going to let her go out of the house with her, but Lin Dongxian pretended to be unwell, so she hid over. Thinking about it, I still came to Aunt Qing, now only Aunt Qing can compete with him, analyze these with Aunt Qing, and hope that Aunt Qing can help her leave! Queen Pan glared at Zhou Qingyou, and couldn't wait to ask every day.
Zhou Qing closed his eyes and sighed, "Good mother, you just tell me, I can't eat well at all these days, and I can't sleep." "This thing was always wrapped around her head, and it was like a big rock." If you are disobedient again, the queen mother will not care about anything, and let your father choose a colt for you. Queen Pan's fluttering words made Zhou Qingyou so frightened that she immediately sat up straight.
He raised his hand and promised: "Okay, mother, whatever you say is what you say, and the sons and daughters will listen to you." You can never care about your sons, and the happiness of your sons and daughters in the second half of their lives will be handed over to you. You must ...... "Okay, the queen mother knows, but the queen mother still wants to ask you, do you really like Wu Guowei so much, don't you marry him?" Empress Pan interrupted Zhou Qingyou's words and stared at her with a serious face.
When Zhou Qingyou heard this, he nodded like garlic and said: "Queen Mother, I just like him, and I won't marry him." "She is a golden branch and jade leaf, the precious daughter of the emperor and queen in the palm of her hand, I believe that no one will dislike her and be unwilling to marry her. Looking at Zhou Qingyou in front of her, Queen Pan's thoughts seemed to be pulled back to her body. She seemed to say the same thing, begging her father to agree to marry her to the emperor, who was still a prince at the time.
After so many years, it has been proved that her vision is correct, the emperor loves her very much, and she is the only one in the harem. A smile appeared on the corner of Queen Pan's mouth, "Since you like it, the queen mother will fulfill you, you just wait for the good news of the queen mother, and in less than three days, you will be able to get your wish." "Queen Mother, are you serious?" When Zhou Qingyou heard this, he bounced up from the chair and stared at her in disbelief.
"Why, now you can't even believe the words of the queen mother?" Queen Pan said coquettishly, Zhou Qingyou hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her sleeve and said, "Queen Mother, I believe in you, of course I believe in you, then I will go first." She left in a hurry, looking at her departing back, Queen Pan relieved herself for a long time, her daughter is older, she will eventually go out of the cabinet, and she can't stay, since she likes it, Queen Pan will fulfill her.
The emperor had already relented, and with a little persuasion from her, the decree of marriage would soon be issued. Aunt Qing looked at Lin Dongxian in front of her, and curled the corners of her mouth: "Okay, deal, as long as you don't let the prince be a concubine, I will help you leave the Pingbohou Mansion." "At the moment, her most important thing is to stop Wu Guowei from becoming a colt, so that he will be strengthened. Pingbohou's Mansion must be in his pocket, and Aunt Qing must not let him succeed.
At this time, Lin Dongxian took the initiative to send it to the door, and of course she was happy to cooperate with her. Of course, Aunt Qing asked carefully, why Lin Dongxian was taken back to the house by Wu Guowei, she had to be just in case, this was a trap set by Wu Guowei for her to get into. After Lin Dongxian left, Aunt Qing immediately sent someone to invite Ping Bohou to the house. Ping Bohou had a calm face, listened to Aunt Qing's words, and didn't say anything for a long time.
The emperor selfishly and tended to marry Zhou Qingyou to Lin Xiangqi's sister-in-law Lin Ruoqi, but Empress Pan insisted on Wu Guowei. The emperor could only sigh and compromise: "Okay, I will listen to you." Affectionately hugged Empress Pan into her arms, she spoke, if the emperor continued to object, in this way, the relationship between the husband and wife would be disliked. Zhou Qingyou is his daughter, the eldest princess of the dynasty, if she is unhappy in the future and has a bad life, the emperor can let her reconcile and remarry, this is the right to be a royal princess.
Empress Pan didn't know why she was always a little uneasy in her heart, relying on the emperor and listening to the emperor's pounding heartbeat, she came to her senses, closed her eyes, and the two lines of tears in her eyes hung on her cheeks, facing away from the emperor, not letting him know. As soon as Wu Guowei opened his eyes the next morning, he felt that something was wrong, this was not his house, and there was a strong smell of rouge gouache.
Just as he was about to get up from the bed with his elbows propped up, a pair of jade hands climbed up behind his back, and said delicately: "Childe, was it uncomfortable for the slave family to serve last night?" The moment the softness on her body touched Wu Guowei, he immediately turned his head, and what caught his eye was a young girl, with only a tulle coat on her body, and the whole person was attached to his back.
Wu Guowei subconsciously pushed her away, frowning: "What kind of place is this, why am I here?" "Hey, Childe, you're joking, don't you know what this place is? Yesterday you came in openly, and no one pulled you in. Childe, is it uncomfortable to serve the slaves. "The young woman spoke softly, quite like a Jiangnan woman.
