Chapter 57
Hubu Shangshu Bai Changrun's body is thin, and the heavy rain outside wets his robe, making it look more like a hemp rod.
He entered the house and fell to the soles of Jiang Xufeng's feet with a howl: "Your Highness, help, Your Highness!" β
Jiang Xufeng had already changed his clothes, and his robe was loosely draped over his shoulders. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and looked at Bai Changrun coldly: "What do you want to save you?" β
Lord Bai choked, took his sleeve and pretended to wipe the tears that were not at all, and glanced at Jiang Xufeng with a weak heart: "Your Highness, the minister's unsuccessful son really just raised a few kabuki, who knows, who knows those kabuki so. Die without going through. β
Jiang Xufeng's eyes swept over again, and Bai Changrun hurriedly defended: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the daughter of the Wang family of Qiyang County was framed, the minister, the minister went to ask, I don't know how the Qi family got into the mansion." The housekeeper, the housekeeper said that she bought it from outside, and I really don't know her identity. β
Jiang Xufeng was already impatient, he didn't want to listen to Bai Changrun's nonsense. Looking at Bai Changrun's sideburns soaked in cold sweat, Jiang Xufeng squinted, and then frowned in disgust.
"That house doesn't actually belong to your son."
His words were in an affirmative tone, and Lord Bai's eyes widened in horror, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
His Royal Highness the Prince's eyes seemed to have stripped off his clothes, Bai Changrun sat on the ground limply, and burst into tears: "Your Highness, Your Highness, the minister is over fifty years old and has not yet had a parent, the minister is unwilling, the minister is unwilling!" β
"Your Highness, the minister is confused, the minister is confused, but Ruier is innocent, he only went to that house when he was drunk last night, begging His Highness to save the minister's son, begging His Highness to save the minister's son!"
Jiang Xufeng was speechless for a long time, which made Bai Changrun completely panicked and climbed a few steps forward.
"I will resign from your office tomorrow morning and save your son's life."
Lord Bai's crying stopped abruptly, and he looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's expression and found that there seemed to be no room for turning back. The fierceness in his eyes flashed, and after many years of officialdom, Bai Changrun knew in his heart that he had been calculated by King Ning's faction and had become a victim in the party struggle.
After this incident, his career will be ruined here, and if Ruier is really planted, his cousin will not succeed him with a son.
His Royal Highness the Prince, the minister has been doing his best for you for many years, and now you want to abandon the minister like this
Bai Changrun kept his head down, and Jiang Xufeng couldn't see his face. He pretended to cry for a while, and then seemed to accept his fate and retired dejectedly.
Jiang Xufeng stared at Bai Changrun's back: "Zhu Zhan, you personally go and arrange it and hand the news to Dali Temple." β
"Your Highness, the crown princess is here." Holly's voice rang out outside.
Wen Jing came in with a food box and saw Jiang Xufeng leaning on the low couch, so he simply asked people to put it on the low table.
"This rain has been raining all day, and the concubine saw that she didn't mean to stop, so she let the dining room boil some porridge, and His Royal Highness warmed his stomach with some."
Jiang Xufeng's irritability will not be eliminated overnight, he is much more silent than before, watching Wen Jing put a bowl of fish porridge with pastries and side dishes in front of him, and then stuffed the spoon into his hand.
After a while, he scooped a spoonful of porridge and ate it slowly. Something entered his mouth, and Jiang Xufeng realized that he hadn't eaten much all day and was already hungry.
Wen Jing didn't ask a word, and accompanied Jiang Xufeng to finish a bowl of porridge without a word, and handed over the tea for gargling.
"Bai Changrun of the household department is a protΓ©gΓ© of Du Taifu."
Jiang Xufeng took the initiative to speak, and Wen Jing smiled. Of course she knew what was happening outside today, so it was no wonder that Jiang Xu left in a hurry just after dawn.
"Then does Your Highness have a candidate for the new head of the household department?" Wen Jing asked the key in one sentence.
Jiang Xufeng glanced at her and rubbed his eyebrows: "No, I scared the crown princess this morning." β
Jiang Xufeng didn't mean to continue the topic, and Wen Jing diverted the conversation with interest. Seeing that he had been covering his forehead, Wen Jing sat closer and gently rubbed Jiang Xufeng's temples.
Wen Jing's movements were gentle, and with the sound of rain outside, Jiang Xufeng was a little drowsy: "The rain hasn't stopped yet, the crown princess will stay in Guanlan Garden tonight to rest." β
It was a good thing that there was plenty of rain, but it was so abundant that the people began to worry about farming again, but the rain finally showed signs of stopping the next morning.
It was the busiest time of the day, and the hawkers, who had not been able to come out yesterday due to the rain, had already taken up their stalls and started shouting.
And the front of the Baifu was already full of people, a carriage stopped in front of the Baifu Gate, and a woman stumbled out of the car, she was supported by the servants on the side and could not stand, but when she saw the Baifu plaque, she rushed to the gate in a few steps.
The knocker of Baifu's door was slammed, and the woman cried heartbreakingly, shouting 'return my daughter'.
Bai Changrun returned to the mansion last night, and wrote a secret letter overnight, intending to throw it on King Ning's mansion, and when he fell asleep, the sky was already white. Early in the morning, he was called up from the bed by the housekeeper, and Lord Bai was still a little angry, and as soon as he opened the door of the house, he was grabbed by a woman by the collar.
Lord Bai's anger surged up and he was about to swing the woman away at once, but the woman stepped to the side first, and the servant who followed the woman immediately shouted, and there was a mess in front of the white mansion.
Bai Changrun wanted to shout 'presumptuous', although he was suspended, he was still an official of the imperial court.
A voice interrupted him first: "Let one go, let one let go, Dali Temple handle the case, and the idle people will avoid it." β
Lord Qinglu of Dali Temple walked up to Bai Changrun with an edict: "Lord Bai, please." β
The people gathered in front of the Baifu Gate saw this scene in their eyes, and after a while, it spread all over the capital, and then Dali Temple released the Bai Gongzi, and everyone didn't understand anything.
As for Lord Bai's letter, which was no longer in the study of the Bai Mansion, Jiang Xufeng read the letter in his hand and sneered: "Bai Changrun has been following Gu for so many years, so he has this ability. β
Zhu Zhan smiled, stepped forward and threw the letter into the brazier in the corner: "Your Highness, don't be angry, beware of being angry." Without the promotion of His Highness, he does not know in which corner he is mixing political achievements. β
Bai Changrun's abacus crackled, he thought that selling Jiang Xufeng's news to King Ning would leave him a way out.
But King Ning's faction wanted him to fall from beginning to end, Jiang Xufeng was different from King Ning, and what Zhou Shengming wanted was not a well-controlled household book, so it was destined that Lord Bai could only admit it. For example, the woman who appeared in front of the Baifu early this morning was the handwriting of King Ning, who was Qi Yao's biological mother, the concubine of the Wang family of Qiyang County.
Originally, Jiang Xufeng saw that Bai Changrun had been honest for so many years, and he planned to take advantage of the Bai family, and he couldn't say that other Bai family members could stay in Beijing.
Who knew that Bai Changrun had a crooked mind, and Jiang Xufeng could only strike first.
"Is there a reply from Taifu?" Jiang Xufeng is still worried about the new candidate for the head of the household, and Mrs. Du has already been looking for it among his protΓ©gΓ©s, and there has been no news.
"Not for the time being," Zhu Zhan looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's faint tendency to frown, and hurriedly comforted, "Your Highness, don't worry, this case will have to be tried for a while, and it will be almost October if there is a result." β
Wen Jing is sorting out the list of congratulatory gifts, an old princess in the clan is going to marry a granddaughter-in-law at home, according to the number of gifts, the prince's mansion also has to prepare some small gifts.
When Wen Jing heard about what was going on outside, the pen in his hand paused. She was really disgusted by King Ning's faction, and wrinkled her eyebrows: "Pity that girl from the Wang family of Qiyang County." β
If such a thing happens, even if Qi Yao returns to the Qiyang County Palace, I am afraid that the County Palace's Mansion will not be able to accommodate her, and the best result is to go to the Taoist Temple to cultivate.
"The girl from the Wang family of Qiyang County is still in Dali Temple, and it is safe to come, don't worry." Lan Yuan came up with a new cup of tea.
Wen Jing shook his head, finished writing the rest of the list in a few strokes, and looked up to see Zhuyun leading a few little girls, taking the congratulatory gifts on the list and coming over to her to look at them.
Opening the box and seeing a slender ginseng, Wen Jing remembered the two pregnant people in the backyard, so he said, "Tell them to leave some good medicine outside in case of emergencies in the backyard." β
"Zhuyue didn't go to see the Lin family, how about it?" Miss Lin asked the doctor to ask for peace this morning, and Wen Jing asked again.
Lan Yu just wanted to go back to Zhuyue and hadn't come back yet, so he saw that the figure of Zhuyue outside the courtyard had already entered the Xiaohua Gate.
Zhu Yue replied to Wen Jing's words, Miss Lin was normal, and her pulse was good. Zhu Yue didn't quit after speaking, and continued: "Niangniang, the slave met Miss Li at Miss Lin's. β
