Chapter 56: Mountain Rain is Coming
Three days later, the criminal department tried it, and the evidence that Luomei Xueliu instructed the slaves and maids to poison the prince and princess was conclusive, because it involved the competition for favor in the backyard of the palace for fear of damaging the reputation of Qi, Yan Long did not sentence the two to behead them in accordance with the laws of the Yaori Dynasty, but sentenced the two to be sent to the border valley, and they were never allowed to return to Kyoto.
Although it was exile, it was a long way, and it was unknown what would happen on the way.
Later, Min Qingrou heard that Luo Mei was so frightened that she was so frightened that she died before she reached the border! Xue Liu was not much better, and it is said that she was frightened by the great punishment in prison, but whenever she saw the iron utensils, she was so frightened that she crawled and had convulsions all over. In less than half a month in the valley, he went crazy, was locked in a cave, and lived a savage-like life.
As for Nian Xia, because of his good attitude of admitting his mistakes, and because he was coerced by Mei Liu, he was also half a victim, and he was only sentenced to slavery in the slave vault, and he did not lose his life.
Rong Tai asked Min Qingrou for his grace, secretly swapped Nian Xia out of the slave house, and found a secluded place in the suburbs of Kyoto to quietly settle her, and after raising her for a month, Nian Xia finally recovered from this blow.
After sobering up, Nian Xia was quite well-behaved, and An An lived with Rongtai separately, and seemed to have forgotten all about the past.
These are all inquired about by chance to Min Qingrou, but Min Qingrou is noncommittal about Nian Xia's repentance, but is a little embarrassed about the fate of Luomei Xueliu.
Women in the center of interests are miserable, sacrificed and used by others, if it is for the sake of national affairs, it can barely be regarded as sacrificing her life for the country! For example, even if she dies, she can still be crowned a princess of filial piety, isn't it because she died because of her miscarriage to continue the royal bloodline?
If it is like Luomei Xueliu, although he was glorious in his life, but because of his bad thoughts, he will be left behind for 10,000 years, then it will really be more than worth the loss! Now even if he dies, no one will sympathize, and he will be scolded! I wonder if they will regret entering the Qi Palace, and if they follow Situ Yue, their lives will be ruined!
"Alas!"
"Master, the wind is rising! It's getting colder and colder, so let's go inside!"
In the courtyard, the lonely autumn wind, the yellow leaves are falling, looking at the mottled depression in the courtyard, which makes people feel sad and can't lift their spirits for no reason.
Three months have passed.
During this time, the quiet in the palace of King Qi was terrifying. Princess Thyme was bedridden for more than a month due to cold poison before she gradually recovered, but her body was still not very well.
The Baili family sent someone to visit, and with Situ Yue's permission, he took the thyme back to his mother's house to raise him. And after Yun Rong finished copying the scriptures from Fuxiangyuan, she heard about the changes in the palace, and she was shocked in disbelief.
Later, I happened to see Min Qingrou take out the White Tiger God Pendant to show off in front of people, and I was immediately frightened! From then on, I deliberately avoided Min Qingrou when I walked, and I no longer dared to be the slightest presumptuous!
What is the White Tiger God Pei? The fact that the prince can hand over such a valuable token to Min Qingrou for management shows that he has regarded Min Qingrou as a confidant, and now Min Qingrou is really above ten thousand people under one person in the Qi Palace!
Although she is a side concubine and has a higher status than her, she does not dare to be presumptuous. Luomei Xueliu has a lot of scheming, and she has ended up like this, if she is not careful, sooner or later she will follow in their footsteps!
In such a state of mind, Min Qingrou can be regarded as finally pure. Thinking that he hadn't gone home to see since he was reborn, he had racked his brains to go to the Dugu family to have a look in the past few days. But this thing is difficult to do, she is now the concubine of the princess of Qi, what identity does she take, what reason does she have to go to Dugu's house? If she doesn't get it right, she will be tired of her mother's family and involved in the party struggle, then the gains outweigh the losses!
By the way, it also needs to be mentioned that the current court has gradually become a storm, and the ministers of the court and the central government have faintly shown signs of forming their own factions.
Chengwang Situ Chi gathered the leaders of the younger generation of Baili City, Xuanyuan Wuxing, and Wei Shengminzhi.
And Yongwang Situ Yi has been with Bailixiong, Weisheng Langzhi, and Xuanyuan Wuzhi because of his similar temper very early, and he is very friendly.
Only Situ Yue, there is no one around him to show favor, but every time in the court, there is always a righteous and evil Yudu Yushi Fangzheng to escort him, which is embarrassing.
For these faint partisan divisions, some people have also made explicit admonitions, but they were refuted by Situ Sheng's happy sentence that 'young people with similar tempers often gather together to have fun and have fun', and since then the differentiation has become more and more serious, and finally someone has written a book to admonish him.
But before the emperor could speak, Fang Zheng jumped out and said, 'The emperor doesn't care, what are you anxious about for his old man, the emperor is wise and martial, what are the thoughts of several highnesses, the emperor is still not clear?
provoked Situ Sheng to stroke his beard and laugh, and said bluntly: Fang Aiqing is deeply heartfelt!
Since then, no one has written to admonish him.
In Fang Zheng's words: The emperor is not in a hurry to die of a eunuch! The emperor is calm, what are you jumping around?
Just when the atmosphere in the court became more and more weird, the calm in the Qi Palace, which was a little unusual. However, I'm afraid this is also a precursor to the coming of mountain rain!
On this day, Min Qingrou was thinking hard about how to go back to her mother's house, when someone suddenly came to report outside, saying that Concubine Rou's mother's family came to visit, and was left in the Pujia Palace by Situ Yue, and asked Min Qingrou to go to the Pujia Palace immediately.
Min Qingrou couldn't help but be stunned, just thinking about her mother's house, her mother's family came?
"Master, I heard that Lord Min has been promoted to the prefect, this is a great joy, I can't say that I came here to thank my mother!"
But just when she was stunned, a coincidental sentence brought her back to her senses.
"Lord Min?"
Min Qingrou looked stunned, and suddenly remembered that now she is Min Qingrou, and her mother's family is naturally the Min family! But just now, she thought of the Dugu family!
Fortunately, it was the right time to remind you, otherwise you might not have said what went wrong!
So she said to the guards who came to report: "Back to the prince, I will go as soon as I change my clothes!"
"Yes!" the minion retreated!" the guard bowed back.
Without waiting for Min Qingrou's instructions, Yuan Qiao had already selected clothes to serve on the side, Min Qingrou smiled, and was a little heartwarming to Yuan Qiao's more and more skilled and thoughtful service.
If she hadn't had a chance by her side these days, she would have been a little in a hurry. Fate and Rongtai, one inside and one outside, cooperate seamlessly, although this Poria Xuan has added a lot of manpower, but it is still impermeable by the tacit understanding of the two.
"Master, this cloud goose fine brocade dress and this soft silver light lily skirt are both cordial and not rude, plus this peach-colored satin pinched flower coat, you are simply as beautiful as a fairy in the sky!
Yuan Qiao waited for Min Qingrou to dress neatly, covering her mouth and snickering.
I remember the last time, Min Qingrou wore a lilac flowing skirt and swinged under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, but she happened to be seen by the prince, and she couldn't take her eyes off it for a while.
She hurriedly pulled Xi'er Jing'er to retreat, and saw that the prince was impatient to carry Min Qingrou into the room.
Her master is naturally beautiful, she looks good in anything, and as long as she wears Min Qingrou's body, it has a unique charm, and it is no wonder that the prince loves his master more and more!
In the past few months, although Min Qingrou has moved back to Poria Xuan, the prince still comes every three or five times, and he has only come to the backyard a handful of times before!
Princess Thyme was not there, and he didn't pay attention to Concubine Yun and Concubine Shen, but just lingered in Poria Xuan all day long, favoring Min Qingrou alone.
While coincidentally rejoicing for the master, it is also a little strange, it stands to reason that the master's grace is extremely strong, but there is always no news from the stomach. This can make Yuan Qiao worried, is it really as the master said, the prince is weak and cold, and it is difficult to extend the heirs?
But a few days ago, I heard Min Qingrou say with a look of surprise that the prince is now alleviating his deficiency and coldness, which is really gratifying!
"Coincidence!
Min Qingrou's voice woke up the contemplative Yuan Qiao. When he came back to his senses, he found that he had arrived at the Pujia Palace, and hurriedly reached out to help Min Qingrou out of the sedan chair.
"Silly girl, why are you stunned?" Min Qingrou smiled and glanced at her.
"Uh, it's okay!
"If it's okay, help me in, lest the prince wait for a long time!" Min Qingrou reminded.
"Yes, the slave obeys the order!" Yuan Qiao hurriedly helped Min Qingrou into the Pujia Palace.
In the living room of the Pujia Palace, Situ Yue sat at the top, and at the bottom sat an old man in his forties, dressed in a cyan collar regular clothes, sitting on a chair with a respectful expression.
"My father is coming, Rou'er didn't go out to greet her, please forgive my father!"
As soon as Min Qingrou stepped into the living room, she immediately bowed to Min Hao. Min Hao looked frightened, and hurriedly got up to help him.
"Niangniang, you must not be like this! You are now a precious person, it is time for me to give you the gift of a monarch and a minister!"
Saying that, Min Hao really bowed.
"When the father said this, he was gone! How can a daughter let her father pay homage?"
Min Qingrou hurriedly helped Min Hao up and took a few glances at him. This Min Hao looks dignified, but when he is middle-aged, he can still see that he must be suave when he is young, and it is no wonder that he will give birth to a daughter as beautiful as Min Qingrou.
Now that Niangniang is in the Qi Palace, she should be cautious about her identity, and the etiquette cannot be bad!
Hearing this big truth, Min Qingrou just wanted to roll her eyes.
If these words were placed in her previous life, she would definitely abide by them as a golden rule, but in this life, she will be reborn from a cocoon, and she will never be a well-behaved little woman again, delaying her life in vain!
Therefore, if she wants to abide by the dogma of etiquette, it is better to save it! If she is still the dignified and virtuous Dugu Qianyue in the past, she will not be able to capture Situ Yue's heart!
However, although he thought so in his heart, he still looked respectful and well-behaved on the surface, and said: "What my father taught me is that Rou'er has written it down!"
"Hurry up and visit His Highness, this time my father can be promoted to the prefect, thanks to His Highness's support!" Min Hao urged after teaching his daughter.
"Yes!" Min Qingrou responded obediently, Shi Shiran walked in front of Situ Yue and said, "The concubine has seen the prince!"
Situ Yue didn't have any special expression on his face, as if their father and daughter had nothing to do with him. He sat quietly on the top and drank tea, until Min Qingrou gave a salute, and his face showed a slight difference.
Just when he was about to tell her to get up, Min Qingrou suddenly raised her head slightly, and suddenly threw an extremely tempting wink at Situ Yue!
There was a playful smile on the corner of her mouth, and her eyes were like autumn water, which instantly made Situ Yue's heart flutter.
Situ Yue's hand holding the teacup paused slightly, then suppressed the churning in his chest, and said with a hint of undetectable hoarseness in his voice: "No courtesy!"
