Chapter 293: Private Affair
Mingzhu was about to put on her shoes and stay, Yu Wenchu pulled her and said in a low voice: "You just listen here, I'll go out." ”
Mingzhu couldn't hold it back, but thought that maybe Yu Wenchu didn't want her to know who the people from the palace were, so she held back and sat back quietly.
Yu Wenchu quickly walked out, his voice was low and pleasant, and it was easy to come in from outside the door: "What's the situation in the palace?" ”
"Huiru's death is somewhat innocent. The Empress Dowager was furious before, thinking that someone was deliberately harming the palace people around her, so she ordered the Shen Criminal Division to investigate strictly, and the Shen Criminal Division took away several palace people from Changxin Palace for this reason, but the result was a little surprising. Mr. Rong hurried to the Criminal Division in the evening, and the case was about to be closed. Although the person who came deliberately lowered his voice, Mingzhu still heard a familiar tone from it - it was an internal supervisor. The voices of the inner prisoners are always rougher than those of women, and a little sharper than those of men, and at the same time a little dragged.
"Why aren't you innocent?" Yu Wenchu's voice remained unchanged.
The inner supervisor was silent for a moment, and said very embarrassed: "It seems that it involves a little private matter of the Empress Dowager, so it's not good to investigate it in detail." ”
Mingzhu listened to it, listening to this meaning, it seems that the Empress Dowager did not expect Huiru's death, so she had to investigate strictly, and she found herself after checking it, but what private matters could the Empress Dowager not investigate?
"What is the matter?" Yu Wenchu was unhurried, but he kept asking persistently.
The inner supervisor was a little anxious: "Your Highness, this is all a shadowless matter, you can't talk nonsense, you will lose your head if you say it." The old slave took such a big risk to go out of the palace to send you a message, if it was discovered, it would be a serious crime to punish the nine clans. ”
Yu Wenchu was very direct: "What do you want?" If you ask for money, take what is in front of you, but if you want anything else, just ask. ”
The inner eunuch was silent for a while before he said softly: "The old slave still needs a guarantee from His Royal Highness." ”
"This king has agreed."
"It was said that Huiru saw the affair between the Empress Dowager and Eunuch Rong, so she died."
Sling the bull! That's nonsense! Mingzhu's fists clenched violently, only to feel the blood all over her body rushing to her head and face, and her brain was buzzing. It's so vicious! The noble and transcendent Empress Dowager was rumored to have an affair with a eunuch, what could be more humiliating and humiliating than this? If this kind of gossip spreads, I am afraid that the Empress Dowager will no longer be able to sit on the phoenix throne and express any views on the affairs of the family and the country. Without reputation, where does dignity come from? Without dignity, how can we command and control others?
Mingzhu stood up suddenly, wanting to rush out to catch this inner prisoner and beat him violently, who allowed him to spread rumors like this? See if she doesn't tear his mouth.
However, before she could rush out, Yu Wenchu had already walked to the door, and he stretched out an arm to stop in front of her, his eyes full of pity and disapproval. With tears in her eyes, Mingzhu pushed his arm hard, but he didn't move or say anything.
Mingzhu had no choice but to watch the inner prisoner hidden in the dark hooded cloak, calmly take the gold and jade jewelry in front of him, and then turn his back to her, and quickly walked out.
"How dare they?" The door was gently closed by Dong Hui outside, Mingzhu trembled her lips, looked up at Yu Wenchu, and two big tears fell: "They are talking nonsense!" My aunt is not such a person! ”
Yu Wenchu hugged her and wiped her tears: "Shhh...... I know, I know. ”
Mingzhu didn't allow him to touch her: "You don't know! You made it happen to me on purpose! Actually, you already knew! You made me wait here so that I could hear this man say it for myself. Because not only do you believe that this is true, but you also feel that it is difficult to tell me, so let me listen to it myself. ”
Her instincts are always surprisingly accurate. Yu Wenchu was exposed by her true purpose, and she was a little embarrassed for a while, but the facts are the facts, if he doesn't tell her, someone will tell her sooner or later. Instead of being caught off guard, it is better to let him tell her so tactfully but clearly.
Yu Wenchu only hesitated for a while, then simply picked up Mingzhu neatly, ignored her teeth and claws, put her on the couch, closed the door again, walked to the couch to stop her and didn't let her go down: "I don't deny that what you said is partly true, but I always think that it is the most appropriate thing for you to hear about it here." This is the safest and most secrecy of all, and only the person who said it today and the two of us can hear it, and no one else can hear it, including Dong Hui and them. If it's in Yinghui Hall, it's not necessarily, do you want them to hear this? ”
Mingzhu couldn't say anything about him, knowing in his heart that he was reasonable, but he was never happy, because he knew that he couldn't unconditionally believe in the innocence of the Empress Dowager like her. Just like the Empress Dowager has always disliked him, he probably doesn't like the Empress Dowager so much. It's just that there is one of her in the middle, so both of them are quite restrained, Mingzhu wants to understand this truth, and suddenly feels sad.
She hugged her knees, turned her back to him, looked at a crystal bell hanging from the corner of the tent, and choked up: "You don't believe the Empress Dowager." ”
Yu Wenchu sighed: "It's not that I don't believe in the Empress Dowager. Rather, what this person said to me today, there are also people who say it to other people, even if I believe the Empress Dowager, do you think other people will believe it? ”
Mingzhu didn't want to pay attention to him: "Other people are other people, you are you, don't mix them up." ”
Yu Wenchu smiled bitterly and said, "You are unreasonable, I don't want to quarrel with you." ”
Mingzhu said very bluntly: "I don't want to be reasonable at the moment, I just want to find someone to quarrel." Your Highness just say, someone wants to harm the Queen Mother, which side are you going to stand on? Her eyes were wide open with tears in them, and she looked at him expectantly, her brow furrowed, as if she would immediately burst into tears if he said no.
"Of course I'm on your side, I'm the son-in-law of the Fu family, and in the future, my children will have half of the Fu family's blood, and the virtuous and virtuous Empress Dowager will be their pride." Yu Wenchu reached out to hug Mingzhu again, this time Mingzhu did not avoid his embrace, she leaned quietly and obediently in his arms, and said softly with a heavy nasal voice: "Yes, the Empress Dowager is my aunt and our child's aunt and grandmother, Your Highness has to think about our child if nothing else." ”
After being impulsive and irritable, she also knows how to grasp the key to persuade him, know it with affection, and move it with reason, but Yu Wenchu feels that some things must be made clear with her, and she can't be so confused, thinking that the world is peaceful.
