Chapter 214: Dowry? Good excuse!
Baili Qingcang was full of angry aura, and kept walking back and forth in the main hall, like a lion whose territory had been violated, and after calming down for a long time, he still had no way to keep the anger in his heart down, so he walked back to the side of the imperial case and swept all the things on it to the ground.
Shen Ninghua stood in the center of the hall with her eyes condensed, and waited until Baili Qingcang finished venting and sat on the dragon chair dejectedly before she stepped forward to take the tea in the hands of the head of the Department of Internal Affairs:
"Father, things are already like this, no matter how angry you are, it's useless, fortunately, the plan of the Yin nobles has not been implemented yet, and it won't have much impact if things are smoothed out."
"Confusing the royal bloodline, this is a big crime of the Nine Clans, even if it doesn't have any effect, I can't swallow this breath!" Baili Qingcang slammed his fist on the table.
Shen Ninghua lowered his eyes and stood aside, at this time, I am afraid that only killing can calm his anger. Sure enough, after a while, Baili Qingcang called the chief attendant in and directly ordered:
"The Yin family despised the imperial power, caused chaos in the palace, took off all titles, the Yin family's biological father and daughter were not strict, took off the top flower feather and degraded to the common people, expelled from Kyoto, and were not allowed to be officials within three generations!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Watching the person who announced the decree go out, Baili Qingcang's mood was a little better, and he turned his head to look at Chen Yun: "Chen Aiqing, the Tai Hospital also needs to be rectified, and you are the head of the Tai Hospital, so this matter will be handed over to you." Check those imperial doctors carefully, if they are involved with the concubines in the harem, they will all be driven out and reduced to commoners, especially the daring slave who helped the Yin clan, I will punish his nine clans! ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, Weichen will definitely investigate clearly."
"Well, there is also the imperial doctor who framed Ning Hua before, check it well, check it hard, I still don't believe that these minions have turned the sky upside down, as long as they are found out, they will all be killed!"
By the time Shen Ninghua came out of the south study, the sky had already darkened. Chu Junyi was waiting at the gate of the palace, and when he saw her coming out, he hurriedly greeted her: "Ning Hua, go back." ”
"Okay."
Back at the princess's mansion, Hongling handed over the news that had just arrived: "Miss, not long after you came out of the palace, the Praetorian Guards went to raid Yin's house, and the slave maid heard that Yin's family had been buried, but it was dug up...... Broken bones and ashes. ”
Shen Ninghua's eyes trembled: "The desire for love is the desire for life and the desire for death for hate, the emperor now hates the Yin family, and it is not strange to do this." ”
Chu Junyi's expression deepened, and he nodded approvingly: "The Yin clan is also to blame for today's results. Those pregnant women who were raised by the Yin family are the most miserable, most of them are women from good civilian families, they are good looking and healthy, and after being arrested by the Yin family, they were forcibly ...... by the children of the Yin family This is how they have children. Although they can be released now, their reputation is gone, and it's really hard to say what will happen in the future. ”
Shen Ninghua sighed: "Those women are not voluntary, and now it is extremely dangerous to have a miscarriage, and it is not a good way, so I can only find a way to settle down." The Yin family is really brazen, and wants to let the heirs of the Yin bloodline enter the court, maybe in a few years, the Yin family will be no different from the royal family. ”
"The Yin family dares to make such a bold move, maybe the plot is even bigger." If the descendants of the Yin clan ascend to the throne, then Da'an will really change the dynasty, this group of bold minions!
"Now that the Yin family has fallen, the emperor has also issued an order to strictly investigate the Department of Internal Affairs, and we should not act too much in the next action, it is best to let the emperor make his own order to investigate."
"Well, that's good."
After the two of them set out what to do next, they directly began to sort out the evidence, which could not be too deep but could not attract attention, not too straightforward but not vague, and finally submitted all these things to the emperor's imperial case.
Seeing what Chu Junyi presented, Baili Qingcang's face turned blue, but he was no longer as angry as before, but sat in the imperial study for two hours with a cold face. Then he directly ordered the killing of the head of the Internal Affairs Department and the minions involved in the Yin case.
When the queen heard about the emperor's disposition, she frowned and thought for a long time, and finally only nodded and said that she knew and put the matter aside.
Baili Qingcang disposed of the head of the Department of Internal Affairs, and then wanted to be replaced by someone but found that there were almost no talents available, and the ministers of the court openly and secretly had most of the princes who had support, this realization made him angry again, and finally he could only choose a courtier from the Xiao family to replace him.
Hearing the news that Xiao Qi was appointed as the head of the Internal Affairs Department, Shen Ninghua frowned: "The Xiao family ...... In this way, I have to be more careful. "The Department of Internal Affairs has a close relationship with the harem, it can be said that the eyeliner is all over the place, she and the Xiao family have a grudge, this Xiao Qi wants to calculate her in the palace It is extremely convenient, it is better to be careful in everything.
Chu Junyi laughed in a low voice: "Ning Hua, don't worry, Xiao Qi doesn't dare to embarrass you?" ”
"Huh?" Shen Ninghua was stunned, and his heart moved, "Xiao Qi is your person?" ”
"Hmm." Chu Junyi nodded with a smile, "I have a life-saving grace for Xiao Qi, and he is also extremely sincere to me, this time he became the head of the Internal Affairs Department, although it is impossible to fully control the Internal Affairs Department, but it is extremely convenient to investigate some things, the items sent by the queen to the palaces of the concubines will not disappear for no reason, they must be investigated well, even if they are not used now, but they will be used one day!" ”
"Well, speaking of which, in a few days it will be the wedding date of Princess An Ning and Princess Anqing, and the Department of Internal Affairs is afraid that his feet will not touch the ground, and the busier he is, the easier it will be to mess up, don't let Xiao Qi come out of the fork."
"I'll tell him."
The next day, Shen Ninghua finished breakfast, and Hongling came in with the latest news: "Miss, the Yin clan was expelled from Kyoto, but they only walked out less than a hundred miles, and they were met by robbers who wanted to make money, and all of them were killed, and there were thirty-six people in the family, and none of them were left alive. ”
Shen Ninghua frowned slightly: "For such a major event as confusing the royal bloodline, the emperor can't reveal the news, so naturally there is no reason to directly kill the Yin clan, so he can only achieve it in another way." ”
"Are you saying that this matter was done by the emperor?"
"It shouldn't be wrong, the Yin clan is finished, tell Chu Junyi's people, take the opportunity to clean up the Yin clan's forces in the Department of Internal Affairs."
"Yes, miss."
Not long after, an attendant came to ask for an audience: the queen summoned him.
In Ningkun Palace, Baili Anning and Baili Anqing are all there, and they are talking and laughing around the queen. As soon as Shen Ninghua entered the door, she was called by the queen: "Ninghua, come over quickly, this palace is helping An Ning and An Qing to make a dowry list, this is not sloppy, you can help when you come." ”
Shen Ninghua stepped forward to salute, and only stepped forward after finishing: "Queen Mother, I can't do such careful work." ”
Baili Anning's expression was not very good, and he was faintly a little haggard, seeing Shen Ninghua's face with a little more smile: "Ninghua, are you here?" ”
Shen Ninghua paused and gave her a smile back: "Speaking of which, time is really fast, you said last time that you asked me for a wedding dress, but I didn't have time to embroider it, so I only helped you embroider a hijab, and asked Mama Quanfu to make a gift, just to give it to you." ”
Baili Anning was stunned in his heart, a tear flashed in his eyes, and he stepped forward to hold her hand and pulled her to the side of the seat and sat down: "Thank you, Ninghua, so that my wedding can be regarded as a success." ”
Shen Ninghua smiled, feeling the temperature of her fingers, and naturally understood in her heart that the consummation in her mouth not only meant the consummation of the wedding, but also the estrangement between them because of Baili Jinchuan. It's just that both of them understand that it will never be possible to return to the same level as before.
The queen's smile was gentle, and her voice was even more gentle: "I know that the two of you have a good relationship, but An Qing is still watching from the sidelines, come over and take a look at these dowry lists, the palace has been restless these days, and things are also very chaotic, so I have free my hands to help the two of you prepare the dowry, don't blame the queen mother for snubbing the two of you." ”
Baili Anning and Baili Anqing hurriedly spoke: "Where did the queen mother say, if it wasn't for the queen mother's bothering, where would we have such dignity." ”
Baili Anqing looked shy: "Yes, what Sister An Ning said is that if it is because of the two of us, it will be our big mistake." ”
Zhao Huiying hurriedly smiled and pulled her over: "Originally, I only thought that this girl in Anqing didn't know how to speak, but now I just don't want to speak, I also have a set of ruby heads here, speaking of which, it was rewarded by the emperor when I first entered the palace, and it happened to be given to you." ”
"Queen Mother, this is too heavy, Anqing doesn't dare to ask for it."
"If you take it, you can take it, it's just a set of heads. Okay, you can take a look at this list as well. ”
The queen took the two grandmothers to look at the list carefully, and suddenly heard the grandmother reading the list in her mouth, and immediately looked up: "What's wrong?" ”
The grandmother knelt down suddenly: "Returning to the queen, this list is ......"
Zhao Huiying's eyebrows frowned: "What's wrong with the list?" ”
"The slave is guilty, please punish the mother."
"Huh?" Zhao Huiying got up, "Take the list and see what's going on in the palace?" ”
After taking the list and glancing at it, Zhao Huiying snorted coldly: "What's going on!" ”
"Mother's forgiveness!"
"An Ning and An Qing are both married according to the title of Princess Heshuo, why is this dowry so much different?"
"Mother's anger."
Zhao Huiying\/ full of anger: "Find the head of the Internal Affairs Department." ”
Baili Anqing saw the dowry list on the table, and his face immediately turned pale: "Queen Mother, it's just some dowry, it's not in the way, besides, if I marry someone in the future, can I eat and drink for a short time?" ”
"You girl is kind-hearted, you can bear such grievances, but the queen mother can't let you be despised by these minions, dare to deduct your dowry today, and I don't know what I will do tomorrow?" Zhao Huiying turned her head to look at Fang Xue, "Fang Xue, go and invite the emperor here, didn't you check the affairs of the Department of Internal Affairs recently, just check it together!" ”
"Yes, sissy."
Shen Ninghua swept over Zhao Huiying, who was full of anger, and Baili Anning, who was pale: Dowry, it's really an excellent excuse!
