Chapter 131: Something to Ask For
When Mu Junwei was riding a horse on the street, he not only injured civilians, but also rammed into Prince Chen's carriage, causing Princess Chen to be injured. This princess Chen has always been favored by King Chen, and this time it made King Chen feel distressed and loved. It's just that because the initiator is Princess Chen's maternal brother, King Chen is in the way, so he didn't pursue it.
But even if King Chen's Mansion did not pursue it, Mu Junwei still suffered from prison because of this matter.
Originally, he only dared to act mischief with the help of his father's power, thinking that with his father's current status in the court, no one dared to sanction him. But I didn't expect that this time even Zuo Xiang ignored him, and let the people of Weiwei Temple take him away, not only that, but also instructed Weiwei Temple to do things according to the law, don't be a little favoritism because he is Zuo Xiang, the father-in-law of King Rui and King Chen.
Mu Zhaolin's move was not for anything else, it was to block Youyou's mouth. He naturally knew that the eyes of the people in the court were now staring at him, and many people were worried that they would not have a chance to seize his handle. He also understands that if he shields his son today, tomorrow's impeachment of him will be piled up on the emperor's imperial case like snowflakes. So in this matter, not only did he not put pressure on Weiwei Temple for Mu Junjiao, but asked them to punish him severely, so as to show that he was fair and that his political enemies could not catch him at all.
Although there are such words as Zuo Xiang, Weiwei Temple didn't want to embarrass Mu Junxuan, but he didn't expect that King Chen sent someone over again that day, saying how King Chen felt sorry for the princess and so on. Wei Siqing didn't want to offend Zuo Xiang, but he didn't dare to offend King Chen, so he had to detain Mu Junwei for a few days. Although it was only imprisoned and not tortured, it was also a kind of torture for a pampered boy like Mu Junqi.
In fact, the day after Mu Junwei was imprisoned in Weiwei Temple, Shen Ruoshui found the gate of King Chen's mansion.
On this day, Mu Xuefu was accompanied by Jing Rong to visit Mu Yurong's mother and son in Rui Wangfu's mansion, who knew that when she came back, she just arrived at the gate of Chenwang's mansion, Mu Xuefu saw a carriage parked at the door with the logo of Zuo Xiangfu, she was slightly surprised, could it be Mu Zhaolin coming? Turning his head and looking at Jing Rong, the two got out of the carriage.
Zhou Cheng stood at the door, saw the princess and princess coming back, hurriedly greeted him, bowed down and said: "Lord and princess, Mrs. Zuo Xiang and Miss Zuo have been here for half an hour, and they are waiting in the front hall at this time. ”
Mu Xuefu raised her eyebrows, but she already knew the purpose of Shen Ruoshui's visit. She turned around and said to Jing Rong: "The prince has been with the concubine for a long time, I'm afraid that I still have official business to be busy, you can be busy with yours, just go and entertain Mrs. Zuo Xiang." ”
Shen Ruoshui must have come to ask Jingrong to be accommodating for her son, and save her precious son from suffering in prison.
But she couldn't let Shen Ruoshui get her way, and she didn't let her see it.
Jing Rong didn't have to guess to know what was going on, and he didn't hesitate at the moment, just said that if something happened to someone to call him, he also left Zhou Cheng for her to dispatch, and then went to the study around the front yard.
Mu Xuefu did not go to see Shen Ruoshui immediately, but went back to the East Courtyard to change clothes first. Since you are asking for something, don't be afraid to wait.
"Master, why did this Mrs. Zuo Xiang and Miss come over suddenly, is it because of the third son's imprisonment?" Bai Yi took off a pearl hairpin for Mu Xuefu, then put on a normal bun, decorated a few flower hairpins, and inserted the ruby phoenix wings golden step into the bun that the Queen Mother appreciated on the Shangyuan Festival. She fixed her step and changed into a regular dress for Mu Xuefu, "She should go to ask Xiangye for this, why did she come to us instead?" Can't Miss not be seen? ”
"Why don't you see it, of course you want to see it. In the past, she looked arrogant every day, eager to throw her nostrils to the sky, but now she is not obediently bowing her head and begging to come to our mansion, I want to see if she can afford her grandfather's wife to put on a score in our palace! Hong Shao stood aside, picked out a pair of openwork white jade earrings from the box and put them on for Mu Xuefu, thinking that he could see Shen Ruoshui begging for help for a while, and he couldn't stop gloating.
Mu Xuefu touched the warm white jade on the earrings, her eyes flashed slightly, and the corners of her mouth hooked up a smile, and said, "Since you want to see me, I will fulfill your wish and invite Zuo Xiang's mother and daughter here." ”
Hong Shao clapped his hands and said happily: "The master is wise, the slave and maid will go and call someone." ”
Shen Ruoshui's mother and daughter had been waiting impatiently in the front hall for a long time, and after inquiring, they realized that Mu Xuefu had been back for a while, but she didn't see them immediately, but went back to the east courtyard, and her heart was even more annoyed. But in order to save Mu Junqi from coming out, the two of them, especially Shen Ruoshui, swallowed this breath directly, sat on the chair and continued to wait. Not to mention sitting here, even if she serves tea and water to Mu Xuefu, she also admits that as long as she can get her son out of prison, she is willing to do whatever she wants.
Soon there was a word from the other side asking them to go to the East Courtyard, although they were annoyed, but Shen Ruoshui didn't say anything, and just followed. When she walked, she lowered her head slightly, completely losing her usual arrogant posture.
When they arrived in the east courtyard, Qing Zhuo first led them to drink tea and wait in the front hall, saying that Princess Chen was dressing up and asked them to wait for a while.
Mu Menglian's eyes have not stopped since she walked into the gate of the East Courtyard, this place where Mu Xuefu lives is much better than she imagined, not to mention magnificent, it is also beautiful. Every item in this hall looks very valuable, and it seems that King Chen is really good to her, putting so many good things in her courtyard.
The more Mu Menglian thought about it, the more angry and jealous she became, and her hand tightly clasped the armrest of the chair, as if she had vented all her anger on the armrest.
Looking at the arrogant and flying mother who has to put down her usual shelf for her younger brother, she is waiting for Mu Xuefu here, and even taking her is half a short for no reason, so she hates Mu Xuefu even more.
Just as Mu Menglian was discussing, the voices of maidservants greeting each other came from the inner hall. She looked up and looked inside, only to see that several maidservants walked out with Mu Xuefu in their arms, with a bright and graceful posture.
Shen Ruoshui saw Mu Xuefu come out, dragged Mu Menglian and quickly got up from the chair, and bent her knees slightly, "See the princess." ”
"Please, I'll keep you waiting. It's just that I don't know what kind of wind blew Mrs. and Second Miss here today? Mu Xuefu motioned to the maid to help the two of them up and sit down, and sat down in the right position by herself, without subtlety, and went straight to the point: "It's really unfortunate, I went to the Rui Wangfu today, so I came back at this time, but I made you wait for a long time." ”
"It didn't take long, and we didn't deliver the post in advance, so it was uninvited, Xuefu wouldn't mind, right?" Shen Ruoshui had a smile on his face, and his speech was even more intimate.
"Naturally, I don't mind." Mu Xuefu took a sip of tea, and didn't want to face the two false faces in front of her, so she simply said: "It is said that nothing will go to the Three Treasures Palace, and Madame has nothing to do with our palace, but I am a little flattered when I suddenly came here today." It's just, I don't know what's the matter with Madame? ”
Shen Ruoshui pursed the corners of his mouth, and squeezed out a trace of embarrassment on his face, "I heard that Jun Cao scared the prince's carriage while riding a horse two days ago and injured you, I don't know if this injury is healed now?" ”
This is to cut to the point, Mu Xuefu hooked the corners of her mouth, and said: "The prince asked the doctor for treatment that day, and it was just a knock, it's not a big deal, and now it's basically better, thank you Madame for your concern." ”
Shen Ruoshui sighed, showing a look of hating iron but not steel, "Jun Wei caused this incident as soon as he came back, and he didn't let me live in peace at all." She raised her eyelids and looked at Mu Xuefu, tears instantly welled up, and she said sadly: "Although your third brother has a stubborn temperament and disobeys discipline, he really deserves to be imprisoned now, but he doesn't really hurt people, he just startles the horse, and he hurts people." ”
Mu Xuefu sneered in her heart, her harmless heart was still full of storms in the city, if there was, it would be upside down.
"It's not a trivial matter to be on the street, but if he hurts someone, it's even worse." Mu Xuefu drank the tea slowly, with a layer of invisible boredom between her eyebrows, "He hit the car of our palace, and I was injured, didn't we also investigate it?" Besides, he is the son of Xiangye, and trying to save him from prison is not a sentence of Xiangye. ”
Shen Ruoshui wiped his tears with a handkerchief, and his voice whimpered even more, "Your Chenwang Mansion is not investigated, but Weiwei Temple is investigated." Your father is going to teach him a lesson this time, where can he get him out of prison. Didn't you see your third brother, just two days after entering, this person has lost a lot of weight. The more she spoke, the more sad she became, and she began to cry, "I am such a son, who has suffered a little bit since I was a child." Looking at his appearance, my mother's heart is like being cut alive by someone. Isn't it just that we hurt people, and we pay them money, so why bother not to forgive them like this? ”
"He hit someone, and even his bones were broken, and now he is still lying on the bed and can't move." Mu Xuefu frowned and glanced at her with disgust, "Don't cry, don't you just be locked up in Weiwei Temple for a few days, how much sin can you suffer?" In the end, he is the son of Xiangye, and he is the brother-in-law of King Rui, Weiwei Temple does not look at the face of the monk but also looks at the face of the Buddha, and will not torture him, but just sit in prison for a few days. However, if you want me to say that your son should also take care of it, otherwise, you may not be able to cause trouble again if you release it. ”
Mu Xuefu's words were unkind, Shen Ruoshui's face froze instantly, and she wanted to get angry and took into account that she was here to beg someone. wiped his tears and stopped crying, but his voice was still mixed with a little sobbing, "He should be punished, but what kind of place is Weiwei Temple, eating people and not spitting out bones, how can this person be good when he enters?" Seeing that Mu Xuefu still looked like she didn't care about herself, she gritted her teeth and said, "I didn't come today for anything else, but I just wanted to ask King Chen to go to Weiwei Temple to say a few good words for Junwei." I know that the Waiwei Temple has a close relationship with Gyeonggi Guard, and as long as the prince helps him speak, the people of the Waiwei Temple will definitely release him. King Chen has always loved you, as long as you say something, the prince will definitely listen to you. ”
