299. Jail

After Gao Ziang returned to Gaofu, he found his father and personally told him about the harem reporting him, and also conveyed Wanning's request. Gao Junming promised to return the Li family's property, as for restoring Li Zhenghang's reputation, this is something that only the emperor can do.

But in this matter, he is well versed in the emperor's mind. I have also heard a lot of rumors, I am afraid that this time the emperor will not deal with him and will not be able to convince the public. After all, he is no longer in the limelight.

Sure enough, for more than a month, the courtiers have been talking a lot, and even worse, they have fallen into the ground. In addition, he has been an official for a long time, and he has also offended some villains. Under pressure, the emperor dismissed Gao Junming and sent him to prison. The crime is to form a party for personal gain and make friends with foreign officials. As for the other crimes, there is no mention of them.

After Wan Ning got the news, she deeply felt sorry for Brother Ziang. She kept asking herself, was it really she who single-handedly sent her uncle to prison? How could the emperor let her little girl sway her thoughts? She ventured to find Gonggong Zhang to ask, only to know that it was the role of many courtiers.

She was still very puzzled, she was only telling the emperor at that time, how could the news leak out? Could it be that the emperor leaked it? There was no need for him to be so careful. On second thought, yes! The evidence was given to the emperor, even if the emperor didn't leak it intentionally, there were already a hundred pairs of eyes staring at it in the harem.

Although he was imprisoned, the Gao family was not implicated.

Wan Ning realized that the most important thing at the moment was to face the Gao family. So he got in the car and rushed to Gao's house non-stop.

After arriving at Gaofu, she rushed into Ziang's brother's room. "Brother!"

But he wasn't. Wan Ning saw Yi'er coming and asked, "Where did he go?" ”

"Miss Wanning, such a big thing happened in the Gao family, and the young master went to the old man and lady's room."

When Wan Ning heard this, she immediately ran over. She saw Xie Xiwen sitting there with a sad brow, and Brother Ziang was guarding her. "Auntie!" Wan Ning knelt down with a "plop" when she got closer.

Xie Xiwen glanced at her and gently pressed his forehead. After a while, he reached out and stroked one of the hands of his son who was rubbing her shoulder, and said slowly: "Ziang, help Wanning up." ”

"Yes, Mother."

Wan Ning, who was helped up, strode over and called, "Auntie! It's all I'm sorry for the Gao family. ”

Xie Xiwen stroked Wanning's head, still speaking seriously: "Good boy, it's the Gao family who is sorry for you." ”

"Auntie, don't say that. Wanning is very ashamed, I will beg the emperor to let my uncle go. ”

"Silly girl, how could the emperor listen to you? My aunt also knows that it's not that you said that your husband was sent to prison. ”

Wan Ning burst into tears in an instant: "Auntie, it can be because of me." ”

"Wanning girl, don't blame yourself, let's find a way."

"Auntie, please allow me to visit my uncle in the prison."

Xie Xiwen felt very tired, and only said, "You go." After that, he didn't pay any attention to Wan Ning.

Wan Ning turned around and walked out of Xie Xiwen's room, planning to go to the prison without stopping. When he walked to the gate of Brother Ziang's south courtyard, "Wanning." A familiar call rang out from behind her.

She turned around, "Brother." He stepped forward and grabbed his arms, blinking his eyes, tears falling involuntarily.

Gao Ziang comforted: "Girl, we don't blame you. My mother and I understand you. ”

"Who the hell leaked the news? I heard Gonggong Zhang say that the emperor was under pressure and had to deal with his uncle. But where does this pressure come from? It's just that I'm talking to the emperor, how can I alarm the courtiers? ”

"Where are the secrets in the palace, especially in the harem?" Gao Ziang reached out to wipe the tears from her face and asked, "Are you going to visit your father in the prison now?" ”

Wan Ning nodded.

"I'll go with you."

"But Auntie needs you by her side now."

"It was Mother who asked me to stay with you. With me, there is no easy conflict between you and your father. It's okay, I should go see my father too. After reading it, he immediately came back to accompany his mother. ”

Wan Ning held his hand tightly.

When the two turned around and were about to leave together, a maid from Gaofu rushed over and said angrily: "You woman, come back!" Sent our master to prison, are you satisfied? ”

Gao Ziang scolded: "Presumptuous! How do you talk to Wanning? ”

"Young master, I know that you spoil her, but no matter how much you spoil her, you have to take care of our Gao family."

"What do you little girl know! Father's business was not done by Wanning alone, after all, it was the emperor's order. Do you want to question whether the emperor is or not? Wan Ning used to treat the Gao family like family, and there was no place where she couldn't live with the Gao family. offended her for no reason, does the Gao family have no rules? You apologize to her right away! ”

Wan Ning persuaded: "Brother, forget it, she is right." When such a big thing happens, it is reasonable for the people of the Gao family to have opinions about me. Let's go. ”

"Didn't you hear?" Gao Ziang had no intention of leaving, and shouted again.

The maid reluctantly bowed over and said, "Miss Wanning, forgive the slave and maid for offending." Please remember that if something happens to the master, the slave and the maid will protect the master and forgive the slave and the maid. ”

Wan Ning held her: "Get up!" You're a good girl. ”

"Thank you for your understanding, Miss, you are very blessed. The two of them are busy, and the slave and maid are gone. ”

After the maid left, Wan Ning turned her face to look at her brother: "Let's go." ”

When the two came to the prison, the jailer did not make it difficult, and saw an official come to visit Gao Junming. This person is Feng Derui, who was enveloped by Gao Junming back then. Because of the recommendation and promotion of the tall man, Feng Derui is very grateful to him and has always been loyal to him.

Gao Junming naturally thought of his goodness, was consistent, and never left. He was depressed, and he still came to visit him in prison from time to time.

With so many people coming to visit the prison and unimpeded passage, it seems that the emperor is not very ruthless.

Feng Derui saw Wanning and they came, and left consciously.

Gao Zi stepped forward and said, "Father, are you okay?" ”

Gao Junming glared at Wan Ning and ignored the two.

Gao Ziang said again: "Father, you can't blame Wanning this time. ”

"You came all the way to excuse her, right?"

"Father, you know the ins and outs, why do you say that?"

Wan Ning also stepped forward: "Uncle, you say in your conscience, shouldn't you give an explanation for everything you have done to your father all along?" ”

"You little girl, you don't know how high the sky is and how thick it is. The major affairs of the government and politics, how can you think so simple! Gao Junming paused for a moment and continued, "You only know about the communiqué's personal vendetta. If it weren't for the emperor protecting you, how could you be so rampant? ”

"Uncle, you are insightful in the world, how can you think that the emperor is protecting me! I gave the emperor a good idea, but it was the courtiers who influenced the emperor's decision. ”
