Chapter 17: Warning
Characters that are not easy to mess with.
Chang Geng thought about it, and after excluding Bai Yi, he asked in disbelief: "You mean...... Baiguan? ”
"Not so." Su Tingyuan raised his eyebrows, his eyes lit up rarely, and commented: "Ruan Xisheng is obviously prepared today, please come over." Although Bai Guan finally failed Ruan Xisheng's plan, the design thing does exist. With her retributive character, Ruan Xisheng is afraid that she will still have hardships. ”
"As for us-" Su Tingyuan stretched out the last note, his eyes crooked, and he smiled lightly: "We just need to watch the show." No need to worry about anything else. ”
On the side, Chang Geng, who witnessed the change in Su Tingyuan's expression from beginning to end, widened his eyes, unable to believe what was going on.
Maybe Su Tingyuan didn't notice it himself, when he mentioned Baiguan, his eyes were smiling, as if he was holding a bowl of spring water. This expression fell in Chang Geng's eyes, and only two words could be summed up.
Chang Geng almost couldn't believe his eyes, is this person really His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? How did it become like this when it comes to Baiguan?
Decades of understanding from childhood to adulthood made Chang Gung react, and secretly warned himself in his heart that as long as he did not reach the point where there was no way out in the future, it was best not to offend Bai Guan.
Judging from Su Tingyuan's current reaction, Baiguan is an extraordinary existence for him. Although Chang Geng felt that it was unbelievable that Su Tingyuan would be tempted by a woman, he still warned himself in his heart.
After all, it is better to be on the safe side, so as not to cause irreparable consequences.
On the other side, not long after Su Tingyuan left the Qinzheng Palace, another adult came to the outside of the Qinzheng Hall under the guidance of the little eunuchs.
This adult is the current head of the Ruan family, the grandfather of the dynasty, and Ruan Xisheng, Ruan Pinglu.
"This ...... Your Majesty has invited me over today, why did you do so? ”
Ruan Pinglu asked carefully, he naturally knew that what happened in Huxin Pavilion yesterday was spreading, but the rumors spread too quickly, and it was too late for him to interrupt the spread.
Therefore, after Ruan Pinglu heard the emperor summoning him, his first reaction was that the emperor should find himself and tell him about the remarks made by Ruan Xisheng in the Huxin Pavilion yesterday.
As soon as he thought of this, Ruan Pinglu couldn't help but feel a headache, Ruan Xisheng's father Ruan Junshu was his second son, and he didn't like this second son who did nothing in the first place.
As for this daughter of the second son...... On weekdays, he is called grandpa or something, Ruan Pinglu still feels very comfortable in his heart, and Ruan Xisheng also knows to spend time with him and honor him.
Ruan Pinglu also thought that Ruan Junshu, who had such a soft personality, had finally cultivated a fairly good daughter.
During this time, Ruan Xisheng was also angry in front of outsiders, and I heard that she also pressed Bai Guan, the most favored youngest daughter of the Bai family, which made Ruan Pinglu feel very relieved.
However, Ruan Xisheng's overturned car directly turned over a big one, and he almost poked a hole in the sky. Mainly, if the big rebellious words are just said in private, they will be fine.
Last night, after hearing about this incident, Ruan Pinglu also had the foresight to immediately choose to let people ban the news, but he didn't expect it to spread out. Not only did it spread out, but looking at the appearance of the entire Chang'an City discussing and discussing, Ruan Pinglu already knew that it was over, and I am afraid that the emperor would also hear it.
Ruan Pinglu felt very apprehensive in his heart, and silently prepared two or three sets of answers on how to deal with the emperor's accountability, for fear that he would accidentally give the emperor an excuse to take the opportunity to attack the Ruan family.
However, what Ruan Pinglu didn't expect was that the emperor just called him outside the Qinzheng Palace, and did not call him in, and the accountability he had been afraid of for a long time did not appear.
"What's going on?"
At first, Ruan Pinglu felt strange in his heart, thinking that the emperor called him over, but he didn't summon him, which was really a bit unclear.
For a while, Ruan Pinglu even wondered if the emperor had forgotten about him, so Fang Cai never called him.
It wasn't until time slowly passed that Ruan Pinglu reacted little by little. The ministers around him have already changed two or three batches, and the fact that he has been standing outside the Qinzheng Hall under the sun is estimated to spread in the mouths of a group of officials in the DPRK and China in a while.
However, Ruan Pinglu didn't feel angry, because he finally understood. The emperor called him over, but he did not summon him, and he wanted to do anything.
Today's wind is smooth, the breeze is coming, the weather is not hot, the sun is also very face-saving, although the eyes are a little sunburned, but not to the point where people are sweating profusely and can not be resisted.
Ruan Pinglu stood in front of the Qinzheng Palace, and one stop was a whole day.
In the end, his limbs were already stiff, and even if he wanted to move, his body was too stiff to move.
The little eunuch who came to deliver the decree for the emperor saw it, and was so frightened that he hurriedly conveyed the news that the emperor asked Ruan Pinglu to go back first, and then carefully sent someone to drive the carriage and asked them to send Ruan Pinglu back to Ruan's house.
Before leaving, the little eunuch also gave Ruan Pinglu the invigorating oil, the smile on his face was very flattering, and he said in a low voice respectfully: "The emperor heard that the prince is not feeling well, so he specially sent the little one to send you the invigorating oil to give you a massage." ”
Saying that, without permission, the little eunuch was already very skillful in opening the active oil in the palm of his hand, lifted the corner of Ruan Pinglu's official uniform, and massaged him up.
Ruan Pinglu wanted to be polite, but he didn't have the strength, so he accepted it silently.
He knew in his heart that although this little eunuch seemed to be just sending a bottle of revitalizing oil, it was actually conveying a signal from the emperor to him - yesterday's incident would be over. Don't do it again after that.
Invite him to come first, and at the door of the Qinzheng Palace, where people come and go, let him stand in the spotlight for a whole day. It was a warning to him. And the bottle of invigorating oil that sent him back to Ruan's house and sent over was to appease him and tell him that the matter had been revealed.
From beginning to end, Su Zhenyun never came out, let alone discussed and discussed this matter with Ruan Pinglu, and even Ruan Pinglu was most afraid of accountability. But through some other means, the effect of side knocking and side hitting was achieved.
In the end, it is the emperor, and the means are still powerful. Ruan Pinglu thought about it and sighed silently in his heart.
But then again, it was indeed his negligence.
Otherwise, it would not have fermented to this point.
……
The news that Ruan Pinglu, the head of the Ruan family, had been hung by the emperor outside the Qinzheng Hall for a whole day soon spread among the group of officials in the court, and they all knew that the Taishi could not be offended, so they did not dare to have the courage to spread it to the people.
However, the spread between officials and officials is inevitable.
After all, there are so many officials who come in and out of the Qinzheng Hall all day and night, and everyone sees Ruan Pinglu standing like a road sign, how can they really not say anything at all.
As the Ruan family's biggest opponent today, everyone in the Bai family naturally knew the news.
At that time, Bai Guan happened to be discussing with Bai Cang about yesterday's trip to the lake, and the Bai family spies came to report the news to Bai Cang, but Bai Guan did not dodge, and he happened to hear about it.
Hearing that the person who was the right person was not living so smoothly, Bai Cang couldn't help but have a smile on his face, waved his hand to send the spy away, praised Bai Guan and said, "Bai Guan, you are breathing a sigh of relief for your father." It's been a long time since I've seen that old thing deflated! ”
Just after hearing the news reported by the spies, Bai Guan probably understood the reason, and knew that it was not so much to do with him.
But for his father's praise, Bai Guan was really difficult to resist, so he could only reply with a smile: "It's just luck." I was actually just thinking about protecting the reputation of the Bai family yesterday, but I didn't expect that the Ruan family would suffer a loss by mistake. ”
"Whether it's luck or deliberateness, you've done a great job!" Bai Cang smiled happily, so happy that he couldn't close his mouth.
After a while, he reacted, and said with Bai Guan Zhengse: "But after this time, it is estimated that the Ruan family is likely to pay more attention to you, or even target." You don't have a lot of heart, so you must pay attention to it on weekdays. ”
"Got it."
Bai Wan smiled and nodded, but she thought in her heart: She hadn't had time to settle accounts with Ruan Xisheng about digging pits repeatedly on the day of swimming in the lake. If Ruan Xisheng slammed into the muzzle of the gun again without understanding, then don't blame Bai Guan for being polite.
Bai Cang obviously knew that Bai Guan's personality had changed recently, and after seeing her nodding in response, he didn't say more, knowing that she was clear in her heart, so he mentioned another topic: "I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has changed his relationship with you?" ”
"Hmm......" Bai Guan groaned, hesitated for a moment whether to talk to Bai Cang about this topic, but nodded and said truthfully: "That's true, when he was swimming in the lake, between me and Ruan Xisheng, it was obvious that he was biased towards me. ”
Hearing Bai Guan's words, a smile appeared on Bai Cang's face, a touch of relief appeared in his eyes, and he sighed with a little emotion in his tone: "You are ...... You've finally waited for it. ”
Bai Guan had put in so much effort before, and Bai Cang was all in his eyes, but now that he heard that Su Tingyuan's side seemed to finally have a response, Bai Cang was really happy for Bai Guan.
But after being happy, Bai Cang immediately said with a straight face: "However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is high and powerful after all. You must pay more attention on weekdays, and if you accidentally make any mistakes, you must inform me. ”
Seeing his father's surprise and joy, from the initial relief to the later caution, Bai Guan's deep understanding of Bai Cang's position as the first assistant became a little more profound.
is obviously very happy about her daughter's affairs, but because of her identity, she has to be careful and careful.
"Father, Su Tingyuan's attitude towards me has changed, and it is very likely that I saved him that day. When he was swimming in the lake, it was very likely that he was just trying to pull me out as a shield, and he didn't necessarily do anything else. ”
Pursing his lips, Bai Guan calmed down and said in a low voice: "Father, I have really let him go, you don't have to be so scruples in the future." ”
