Chapter 228: Pardon Cheng Yutang
Xiao Ji didn't wait for her to react, and directly pulled her out.
As soon as the two of them ran to the door of the mansion, they happened to bump into the person who came to announce the decree.
"Since you two are here, please take the order," the father-in-law had a very good attitude, and opened the recital and began to read.
Cheng Shuiyao finally calmed down, took the holy decree, buckled his head and thanked him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" ”
"Congratulations to the county lord," the father-in-law used to say some auspicious words, and bent down to salute as he spoke, "Then the slave will go back to the palace first." ”
The housekeeper was very insightful and stuffed a string of money into the father-in-law's hand, and said with a smile, "Since it is a happy event, I will add a lot of color to my father-in-law." ”
The father-in-law then didn't excuse himself, just accepted it, and said a few nice words before leaving here.
"You have asked for this purpose for me?" Cheng Shuiyao turned around with the holy decree, and there was a little more joy in her eyes.
"Your previous marriage was too hasty, you didn't even have a dowry, and if it is spread out, it will make people look down on you, and there were rumors before......" Xiao Ji paused, didn't say what he wanted to say, and re-spoken, "This can also give you a little confidence, and you won't be controlled by others if you want to do anything in the future." ”
"Xianggong is attentive," Cheng Shuiyao was full of joy, raised his head on tiptoes, and kissed Xiao Ji unexpectedly.
This......
The eyes of the people behind him widened and they laughed a few times.
Xiao Ji didn't do anything yet, but Cheng Shuiyao blushed first.
"Okay, let's go down and do things," Xiao Ji tilted his head and glanced at those subordinates, and smiled to relieve the siege.
"Madame, this time is really a madame!" Xiaoyun smiled and leaned over to say a word, but before Cheng Shuiyao could start beating her, she had already run away.
"Okay," Xiao Ji tugged at Cheng Shuiyao's sleeve, "Today is a good thing, I wonder if I will have the honor to taste the food made by Madame?" ”
"What do you want to eat?" Cheng Shuiyao instantly became interested, and counted the dishes he had just developed recently.
The two of them walked towards the house as they spoke, and their shadows were stretched out, looking a little sweeter.
At this time, the palace.
The Emperor was looking down at the fold in his hand, looking at it, suddenly remembering something, he threw it aside and raised his head.
"By the way, is Cheng Yutang still in prison now?"
"Back to the emperor, yes." Gonggong Chen immediately picked up the conversation.
There was no eyebrow on this matter before, and the emperor was very busy dealing with various things every day, so he forgot about this matter.
"I remember that Cheng Shuiyao is Cheng Yutang's concubine, this daughter is married, and it is not good for her father not to appear, so it is better to release him for this reason."
The Emperor spoke slowly, and when he had finished speaking, he picked up the fold again.
"The investigation of the previous incident is not very clear, and now that he is so simply released, will it cause anything else?" Gonggong Chen opened his mouth with some concern.
"He is also an old man, he should know my thoughts, and he will not play tricks at such a time, but if he plays tricks, I will naturally not let him go again," the emperor sneered and glanced up at Gonggong Chen.
Gonggong Chen immediately got the order and hurriedly went down to do it.
Dali Temple dungeon.
Cheng Yutang was tossed without a human figure, and the official uniform on his body had already been made out of shape, looking embarrassed and sad
Footsteps suddenly sounded in the quiet cell.
Cheng Yutang didn't hear this, and stared blankly at a certain position on the ground, looking as if he had lost his mind.
The sound of chain collision suddenly sounded, and a guard in an official uniform came in, looking at Cheng Yutang with a disgusted face and speaking, "Lord Cheng, take the order!" ”
Pick-up?
Cheng Yutang seemed to be frightened by these two words, and he trembled for a moment before he realized the meaning of his words, and looked at the guard with wandering eyes.
When the guards saw that he could not kneel down, they did not force it, but opened the recital and began to announce the decree.
"Cheng Yutang, the head of the household, harbored evil intentions and tried to be unfavorable to the saints, so he was sentenced to be ......"
These words were very clear, Cheng Yutang nodded lonely, and just wanted to stretch out his hand to receive the order, but saw the guard speak again.
"But when I read that his daughter Anle County Lord will get married, I will avoid his death, and I will be demoted to eight levels in a row, and I will be appointed as the county commander of Yaocheng, and I will appreciate this."
What!
Cheng Yutang's pupils dilated suddenly, he didn't expect this matter to take such a turn
"But...... Who is the Lord of Anle? Cheng Yutang frowned, a little puzzled.
Although he often corresponded with dignitaries, he had never heard that there was such an Anle county lord in Beijing.
"Master Cheng has been locked up here for several days, so he shouldn't know what's going on outside," the guard didn't make it too difficult, and said while handing over the edict, "Your eldest daughter has just been canonized as the county lord of Anle, and she will remarry Xiao Ji, the son of the Xiao family, in the near future." ”
So far, what else does Cheng Yutang not understand?
The emperor valued Xiao Ji and knew that Xiao Ji valued Cheng Shuiyao, so he made an exception to save his life.
I didn't expect him to rely on his wife for the first half of his life and his daughter for the second half of his life, which is really in vain.
Cheng Yutang had mixed feelings in his heart, and for the first time he realized how outrageous he was wrong back then, but the matter had come to this point, and he had no choice but to nod, "The minister accepts the order"
"Master Cheng can leave here immediately, please," the guard said as he pushed Cheng Yutang.
Cheng Yutang stumbled and almost fell to the ground, but he still managed to stand up straight and walk out step by step.
When the long-lost sun shone on him, Cheng Yutang didn't feel half warm.
……
Some people are worried, and naturally some people are happy.
Cheng Shuiyao was busy in the kitchen with a happy face, and after a while, a table of good dishes was served.
"It's hard work to do so much!" Xiao Ji hugged her waist from behind and said with a smile.
"It's nothing," Cheng Shuiyao had long been accustomed to him holding himself from behind, but he just bent his eyebrows and turned around in his arms.
"I've never been in touch with marriage, if there's anything wrong with it, remember to mention me."
"This is your wedding, you don't have to care about other people's faces, you can do whatever you want, I'll handle it for you," Xiao Jitai raised her hand and rubbed her hair, with a little smile in her eyes.
"Hmm!"
Cheng Shuiyao nodded heavily and reached out to hug Xiao Ji.
"Okay, mother and father should be waiting in the front hall, let's not delay, let's hurry over!"
Xiao Ji took Cheng Shuiyao's hand and shook it, and when she saw that she heard her words clearly, she pulled her forward.
All the way to the front hall, Cheng Shuiyao saw Xie Yin and Xiao Zhenheng sitting on the main seat at a glance, and bent over to salute.
"That's not necessary, you're also the county lord now, so you don't need to salute us."
