Chapter 177: The Queen Mother was "fooled" by the ghost spirit county lord
Ling Yun and Huanyu returned to Huanyun Pavilion from the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department.
The two were laughing and playing, and suddenly Ling Yun smiled, his clear eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice outside: "Who is outside?" β¦β¦β
The person outside hesitated slightly, walked in with his head down, and said softly: "County horse, county master, is a slave." β
But it's the girl Xiangyun.
Huanyu's eyes were sharp, and he said coldly: "What are you doing standing outside the door sneakily?" β
Xiangyun lowered her hand and said respectfully: "The slave maid is here to ask the county lord and the county horse for a matter. β
A faint boredom crossed Huanyu's eyes, "What's the matter?" β
Xiangyun bit her lip lightly, and said, "It's been several days since the slave maid was transferred to the garden outside; The slave maid wants to ask for instructions, when can I come back and continue to serve the county lord and the county horse? β
Huanyu lazily frowned, and said absentmindedly: "Let's talk about it." β
Xiangyun's eyes were slightly raised, and there were faint fragments of light flickering in his eyes; She hesitated for a moment, and seemed to muster up a lot of courage to say: "But the county master, the slave is really reluctant to leave you, and I really want to come back and continue to serve you!" Did the slave do something wrong, didn't the county lord want the slave? β¦β¦β
Later, her eyes were already red, her voice was sad, and she couldn't go on with a choked voice.
Huanyu listened to her rambling and endlessly, looking pitiful and impatient, and was about to reprimand a few words, Ling Yun had already taken over the conversation and said, "Okay, don't say it, I know." Now there's nothing going on in the garden outside, and you can come back. β
When Xiangyun heard this, as if it was an amnesty, he smiled in an instant, and said in a trembling voice: "Really? β¦β¦ Xie Jun Ma! Lord Xie! If nothing else, the slave and maid will retire first! β
She happily gave Ling Yun and Huanyu a deep salute, and then withdrew with a smile.
Looking at Xiangyun's happy back, Huanyu hooked the corners of her mouth unhappily and said, "Junma, you are really good at talking to these subordinates!" β
Ling Yun's warm eyes flashed like ink jade, and he bent his eyebrows and smiled lightly: "What did we say before, don't yell at the people when you have nothing to do, be a good master and a good housewife who is generous and benevolent - hey, you promised me to come at the beginning." β
Huanyu snorted and said disapprerovingly: "She's just a girl, why are you so good to her?" Hey, no, I found out how you always love these stinky girls - from the truth, do you have any special thoughts about them? β¦β¦β
Ling Yun said helplessly: "Alas! I'm really convinced of you, with you, the vinegar jar lady here, I just have this thief heart and don't have the courage to be this thief! β
When Huanyu heard this, a sharp cold light flashed in her autumn-like eyes, and she immediately replied mercilessly: "If you dare to have this thief heart or courage, I will never let you go!" β
When Huanyu said this, her expression was solemn, cold as frost, and there was no smile on her face.
Looking at her resolute expression, Ling Yun's heart suddenly twitched, and a chill surged into his heart unconsciously.
He paused slightly, and Fang Youqi said weakly: "Forget it, it's too far away to talk about it, let's get down to business first!" Now the first thing to do is to discuss how to free my brother from this difficult situation. β
Huanyu's face softened slightly, and she looked at him a little speechlessly: "What, you still have to save him, aren't you dead yet?" β
Ling Yun said in a resolute tone: "Of course, I am a friend of life and death with him, unless I die, I will never watch him become a ghost of the knife." β
Huanyu bit her lip and said, "Then how are you going to save him?" β
Ling Yun said expressionlessly: "There is no other way, only to rob the Dharma Field tomorrow." β
Huanyu glared at him in amazement and said, "You're crazy! Robbing the Dharma Field, aren't you going to die? β
Ling Yun sighed softly and said, "Now that it's over, is there a better way?" β
Huanyu Rushui's eyes turned, "Yes, I can go and beg the Queen Mother!" β
"The Queen Mother? ......" Ling Yun frowned, "Is it okay, how can you say that the Queen Mother is moving for such a major matter?" β
Huanyu smiled slyly, "The mountain people have their own tricksβtrust me." β
Ling Yunqing's eyes flashed, and he said happily: "Who doesn't know that my county lord's wife has great powers, and she can turn the tide and turn things around at a critical moment - then please ask Madame!" β
As he spoke, a thin layer of mist was unconsciously clouded in front of him; It also seemed to be choked in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.
He just stood up and gave a deep salute to Lord Huanyu.
It's been four or five years since I got to know Ling Yun, how could Huanyu have ever seen Ling Yun's low-to-dust posture?
In her mind, Ling Yun has always been the kind of fearless hero type who is arrogant, reserved, and conceited, and will not frown even if the knife is on his neck; When have you ever seen him cry like this?
Looking at his sad appearance, Huanyu felt a burst of compassion in her heart, and said quietly: "Junma, don't be ...... like this"
Ling Yun rubbed his eyebrows, suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth ambiguously, and smiled slightly. With a pull of his right hand, he directly dragged Huanyu into his warm and broad embrace, and said affectionately: "Huanyu, thank you......"
Huanyu finally couldn't resist Ling Yun's sweet temptation, subconsciously stretched out her arms and gently wrapped her arms around his flexible and firm bee waist, buried her face deep in his arms, and said softly, "Why are you still telling me this?" As long as it's for you, whatever I'm asked to do, I'm willing......"
Listening to Huanyu's whispering, Ling Yun raised his head and sighed softly, reminding him of a few years ago.
That time, Lu Wenzheng was implicated and imprisoned because of the assassination of the Yuanzhen Taoist priest in the palace, and when the mountains and rivers were exhausted, it was the beautiful and intelligent county lord who came forward to say that the queen mother turned the tide and saved Lord Lu's life.
What will be the result now? Success or failure is all about this......
Needless to say, the book is brief.
The lord of Huanyu County came to the palace to see the Empress Dowager Wei, and the flickering of rhetoric and the bewitchment of soft words only coaxed the Empress Dowager to smile, and her heart was full of joy.
In the end, under the "clever words" of the ghost spirit county lord, Empress Dowager Wei quickly "disarmed and surrendered", and agreed to the request of the county lord of Huanyu without blinking.
Empress Dowager Wei can be described as vigorous and resolute.
After lunch that day, she hurried to the Yangxin Palace to see the emperor, carefully considered the wording, and tactfully and implicitly stated the matter of asking the emperor to pardon Du Zhenghai.
When Emperor Zhao Yu heard this, he couldn't help frowning, looking a little dilemma, "Queen Mother, how can this be done?" Du Zhenghai is a prisoner of the imperial court, and he will be beheaded at noon tomorrow. β
Empress Dowager Wei's face sank and said, "Why, didn't the Holy Lord even give this little face to the mourning family?" β
The emperor said: "That Du Zhenghai is extremely evil, and he should be beheaded according to the law; Wouldn't it be unfair to pardon him without asking the reason, and provoke the criticism of the ministers? β
The corners of the Queen Mother's mouth hooked up a sneer, and she said disapprenously: "Which minister will have criticism?" Is it He Yuting? Hmph, you said that it is unfair to pardon Du Zhenghai, isn't He Yuting's killing of Du Zhenghai a personal vendetta? β
The emperor was choked and speechless for a while.
The Queen Mother said again: "You say that Du Zhenghai is extremely evil, how can you start talking about it? It was the Yuanzhen Taoist who assassinated the saint back then, not him! Although he was suspected of kidnapping officials and relatives, he did not succeed; Besides, he did this for a reason!
"He Yuting did go too far back then, forcing his family to be separated and his family to be destroyed, how could he, a common man, not have a heart of revenge?
Now that his parents are dead, can't he redeem his old debts? If he kills Du Zhenghai again, won't his Du family be cut off?
"Speaking from the heart, is it true that He Yuting and his wife are not at fault? As the saying goes, 'forgive people and spare people', why did he He Yuting leave no way back at all, and had to kill them all? β
Empress Dowager Wei is well-founded and eloquent; And his words were sharp, his attitude was sincere, and the emperor who only spoke frowned and bowed his head and said nothing.
The Queen Mother said again: "The mourning family has never asked about political affairs, this time if it weren't for your sister Huanyu......"
The emperor was stunned for a moment, "Oh? β¦β¦ What does this have to do with Huanyu? β
The Queen Mother said leisurely: "This Huanyu was a childhood sweetheart with Du Zhenghai, and later when he was in Feiyun Villa, he saved the lives of Huanyu and Lingyun......"
The emperor was a little stunned for a while, "Wait...... The queen mother just said that Du Zhenghai and my sister are childhood sweethearts, where does this start? Doesn't my royal sister only like Ling Yun alone? β
Empress Dowager Wei sneered at each other: "Who said she only likes Ling Yun alone?" My Yu'er is so beautiful and smart, she is not allowed to have a person in love before she meets Ling Yun? Besides, I was still young at that time, and I didn't know anything......"
The emperor smiled bitterly: "Even if you are not sensible, you will not go to find a little Taoist priest to be your sweetheart!" β
Empress Dowager Wei's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and she said with some displeasure: "What's wrong with the little Taoist, as long as you are not a eunuch in the palace, anyone can like it, why are you doing that kind of leisure?"
"Now that Du Zhenghai has encountered a catastrophe, Huanyu misses the old feelings, and begs me to save his life no matter what-Emperor, don't disappoint the mourning family!
"Otherwise, if my Yu'er has any three longs and two shorts, she won't take half of the mourning family's life with her......" Speaking of this, her eyes didn't feel red.
The emperor is a well-known filial son, and when he saw this, he hurriedly said: "The queen mother is angry, let me think about this matter again, and listen to my reply early tomorrow morning." β
Seeing that the emperor was finally relieved, Empress Dowager Wei couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and a smile that was not easy to detect after "the conspiracy succeeded" flashed on her face.
The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, pulling out a somewhat exaggerated arc, "Okay, the mourning family is waiting for the emperor's good news!" β¦β¦β
