Gao's house, the antechamber

Mrs. Gao sat on the main seat, and the people in the three rooms of the Gao family sat on the stools on both sides, and everyone's faces were heavy, and no one spoke for a long time.

Gao Huaiying's temperament is lively, seeing that someone needs to take the initiative to stand up to break the deadlock, after a little thought, he spoke, "Grandmother, today's thing is that grandchildren are too impulsive, if grandchildren are more calm, handle things more tactfully......"

"You've made a decision late, how can you be tactful? We all know what kind of character that girl has, if you dare to protect the Murong family just now, she will dare not get along with us for the rest of her life. ”

"That's it, the matter has come to this, and I will cut off contact with Murong Mansion in the future."

"You can't be an outsider, don't want your own people."

After everyone left, the old lady and the old man Gao talked about today's events, "Wan'er has always been haunted by the incident five years ago, and now that the murderer has finally been found, she is afraid that she will not give up." ”

"Murong Wan'er was taken to the palace by the Queen Mother, she is just unwilling, what can she do?"

Old Man Gao also felt sorry for Sang Muwan, but this time it was the Queen Mother who stood up to protect Murong Wan'er, and no matter how prominent the Gao family was, there was no way to fight against the royal family.

What's more, the Gao family has offended the Murong family now, and I'm afraid that the future will not be too easy.

"When the lord goes to court tomorrow, ask the prince for his opinion on this matter, and if he has the heart to help Wan'er seek justice, the lord will help him."

Old Man Gao nodded, "Hmm." ”

The next morning, the ministers first talked about the situation at the border pass, and then Lord Yushi Li talked about Murong Wan'er's murder of Sang Muwan five years ago.

The Queen Mother sat behind the curtain, and when she heard the words, a touch of displeasure flashed in her eyes.

"The mourning family knew about this matter yesterday, how old was Wan'er five years ago, even if she had a heart to hurt people, she couldn't think of such a vicious method, if she wanted the mourning family to say, it should be the girl of the Sang family who made a mistake."

"What do you say, Lord Regent?"

The Queen Mother threw the question to Pei Lianbai, Pei Lianbai didn't look at the Queen Mother, and said with a cold expression, "Whether a person can do evil, whether he dares to do evil, what does it have to do with age?" ”

"What's more, there is no need for Murong Wan'er to take action in person in this matter, she only needs to give an order, and someone will help her do this."

"Yesterday, this king was on the scene, and no one knows the truth or falsehood of what happened yesterday better than this king."

When the regent said this, he was obviously on Sang Muwan's side, and the Queen Mother had the heart to protect Murong Wan'er, but Pei Lianbai refuted the Queen Mother's words in front of so many courtiers, and did not give the Queen Mother any face.

For a while, the situation in the court was extremely tense, and the ministers were so frightened that they lowered their heads and did not dare to say a word.

Pei Lianbai continued as if he hadn't seen it, "Since the Queen Mother has talked about this, then the King also wants to ask the Queen Mother, yesterday the people of Jingzhaosi were about to arrest people, and the Queen Mother's people arrived at Murong Mansion, is this matter too coincidental?" ”

The Queen Mother patronized and tested Pei Lianbai's thoughts about Sang Muwan, but she completely forgot Pei Lianbai's intelligence and alertness, but fortunately, she was just stunned for a moment, and soon thought of a rhetoric.

"The eighth princess wanted to see Wan'er, and the mourning family was annoyed by her, so it was a coincidence that Mama Gui went to pick up people, and she actually ran into Jing Zhaosi to arrest people."

"The mourning family didn't know the situation at that time, if they knew, they would definitely let Wan'er cooperate with Jing Zhaosi to handle the case first, and it would not be too late to enter the palace when the matter was over."

Pei Lianbai's face changed slightly, and then he came to the bottom of the main hall and saluted the Queen Mother, "Since this is the case, this king will thank the Queen Mother for her understanding." ”

The Queen Mother didn't understand what Pei Lianbai meant. It wasn't until she heard that he ordered someone to take Murong Wan as a child that she reacted, and she was calculated by Pei Xiaobai.

"Regent, don't be presumptuous, this is the palace, Murong Wan'er is a distinguished guest invited by the mourning family, do you want to ask the mourning family before arresting someone?"

"Didn't this king already ask just now?" After Pei Lianbai finished speaking with a faint expression, he turned to the courtier and said, "Retreat from the court." ”

The Queen Mother originally wanted to use the power of the courtiers to stop this matter, but she didn't expect Pei Lianbai to directly let the big guys disperse, so she stood up angrily and walked out from behind the curtain angrily.

"Regent, the mourning family only invited people into the palace yesterday, and you took people away in the palace today, do you want the people of Kyoto City to see the jokes of the mourning family?"

Pei Lianbai turned his back to the Queen Mother, looking at the huge palace, his eyes were full of indifference.

"The Queen Mother sent someone to invite Murong Wan'er into the palace yesterday, is it really just a coincidence? Others don't know the queen mother's attitude towards the princess and princess in the palace, but the king is clear. ”

"Since the death of the imperial brother, in addition to caring about herself and Your Majesty, how can the Queen Mother care about anyone in the harem?"

"Murong Wan'er is arrogant and arrogant, she has never befriended any princess in the palace for many years, but you say that she is good friends with the eighth princess, does the queen mother know that the eighth princess became mute four years ago, may I ask the queen mother, how can a mute befriend Murong Wan'er?"

The Queen Mother really didn't care about the other people in the harem, and she made up the reason yesterday casually, but she didn't expect the eighth princess to be a mute.

I didn't expect that Pei Lianbai would give him such a faceless face for the sake of a woman.

A look of hideousness flashed on her beautiful cheeks, but soon she smiled again, and spoke again, and her tone was obviously much softened, "I didn't expect that the prince had been in a coma for four years, and he still knew so much about Kyoto City and the affairs of the palace. ”

Pei Lianbai ignored her and walked out of the hall.

The little emperor has been taken to class by the palace people, and at this time there are only the queen mother's people left in the hall, and the palace maid saw the queen mother standing motionless, and stepped forward with some worry and said, "Niangniang, we should go back." ”

"Niangniang, it's no good, Miss Murong was taken away by Jing Zhaosi's people."

Mama Gui ran in and shouted, "Niangniang, the regent is too arrogant, this is the palace, even if he is the regent, he can't go to the queen mother's bedroom to arrest people." ”

The Queen Mother already had a gentle look, but after listening to Mama Gui's words, her face instantly became gloomy.

"Mama Gui, now that the mourning family and His Majesty are still counting on the prince, you arrange the relationship between us so loudly, but do you think our mother and son are living too well now?"

After Mama Gui noticed that something was wrong, she quickly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Niangniang spare her life, it is the slave and maid who are talking nonsense, and please ask Niangniang to go around the slave and maid this time for the sake of the slave and maid who have served you for many years." ”

"You can get around, but remember, don't let me hear you say bad things about the Lord Regent, you know?"

"Yes, yes, the slave remembers, the slave will never dare again." After Mama Gui finished speaking, she raised her head cautiously, and after seeing that the Queen Mother's face was a little better, she asked about Murong Wan'er.

"Since the prince wants to investigate to the end, then follow the prince's wishes."
