Chapter 77
Meng Youshu sued for illness just to avoid disaster.
She didn't have much friendship with that guy Pang Zhongzhi, too much persuasion turned out to be a shallow conversation, once said once, she did not hesitate to write a letter to ask for leave after she exhausted this little friendship.
There are more difficult people in the family who are waiting for her to counsel.
Meng Youlin sent servants to look after the house, and wanted to move out, but everyone in the mansion obeyed Lord Huai'an's orders. Normally, no one would respond to Meng Youlin's orders, but this time, Lord Huai'an gave strict orders, no one is allowed to take the young lady out. It is not allowed to look at any houses, let alone those who buy and sell houses to enter the house.
Meng Youlin was sad at first, but then she gradually realized something was wrong, every time the servants asked about it, they always said that the land in the capital was very expensive, and no one would sell the house easily, so they shirked and couldn't find it for a while.Meng Youlin's eyes are blind, and she's not stupid. The land price in Kyoto is high, but every year many officials are sent to Beijing and released. How can there be no house sales?
After asking several times, Meng Youlin got annoyed, and asked the maidservant severely, and when the maidservant was about to be overwhelmed, Meng Youshu came back.
The servant girl breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly greeted her: "Your Majesty has returned home."
Meng Youshu hummed, looked at Meng Youlin, and said, "What are you talking about?"
Meng Youlin pursed her lips and remained silent.
Meng Youshu sighed, and waved at the maidservant, who hurriedly backed away.Sitting next to Meng Youlin, Meng Youshu said softly: "I've been very busy these few days, I haven't taken care of you, and I'm still losing my temper?"
"I'm not losing my temper..." As soon as this remark came out, it seemed that she was playing with her temper. Meng Youlin bit her lower lip and stopped talking.
The smile on Meng Youshu's face deepened, and she held back her smile, making herself sound extremely sad: "Alright, you should live outside first, and don't come back for a while."
She deliberately emphasized this period of time, which naturally made people feel that it was wrong. It was a matter of utmost importance to her safety. Meng Youlin couldn't care less about other things, so she hurriedly asked, "Why is this period of time? What happened?"
Meng Youshu remained silent, as if it was extremely difficult.
Meng Youlin couldn't see her expression, so she became anxious and wanted to grab Meng Youshu. Her hand flitted across the air feebly, but she couldn't find the exact direction. She could only follow the place where the sound came from, and groped roughly. Pale, unreservedly exposing one's own weakness.
Her eyes were sore, and tears filled her eyes in an instant. Even after seeing it many times, Meng Youshu still felt extremely uncomfortable. She hurriedly held Meng Youlin's hand and pressed it to her face.
Meng Youlin also noticed that her emotions were a little intense: "What's the matter? Ah..." Meng Youlin paused, and then said, "Sister, did anyone wrong you?"
Meng Youshu shook her head, she really hated the word "sister" to the core, at some point, these two words sounded so harsh.She took a deep breath to make her voice appear more natural, but unfortunately her throat was sore and hoarse: "Recently there have been turmoil in the court, which is very dangerous. I have been involved in it and have been forced to take sick leave. Disaster, Arlene, you go away."
"I won't go!" Meng Youlin didn't even think about it, she shook Meng Youshu anxiously, followed her arm, touched her shoulder, "I won't go..."
"You are already asking the maid to go outside to look at the house."
"That's because..." Meng Youlin stopped talking, she stopped talking, and said seriously, "Sister, I won't leave. If you have difficulties, I must accompany you."
Finally, the stubborn Arlene changed her words, but Meng Youshu was not at all excited. She bent her lips and smiled, tears streaming down the corners of her eyes: "Arin..."
She has nothing to do, there is a lot of hatred from Pang Zhongzhi in the court, and it can't affect her at all. She just wants to coax Arlene to stay. She can't leave her, and she is even more worried about her leaving. However, there is obviously more direct and honest Words could keep her, but she didn't dare to go forward because of her blood relationship, so she could only make up false excuses to make Arlene worry, deceive her an invisible person, and make her worry about her!
She wanted to cry, but she held back tightly. If she cried, it would only make Arlene more worried.Meng Youshu let out a breath slowly with her face up, and then tried her best to keep her trembling voice steady: "A Lin, don't worry, I will be fine, I will take care of you for the rest of my life, how could something happen to me..."
Meng Youlin trembled for a moment, she felt the wetness on the hand on Meng Youshu's cheek, it was Ah Shu's tears, at this moment, she seemed to have figured out something.
Why bother, you have to be stubborn to change, they are sisters, and they should be sisters for a lifetime.
At the same time, a team of Jinyiwei broke into Jing Zhaoyin's house.
Once you enter the imperial prison, there will be more bad luck than good luck.
Cui Yunji is the chief judge of the Jiangnan Salt case. Since the turmoil got bigger and bigger, she had a premonition that she would be implicated. She had a clear conscience, but she couldn't resist someone who was eager to do something.
When this day finally came, Cui Yunji did not panic.Carefully explained the housekeeper's affairs: "Don't delay the official business because of me. There is an official document approved by me on the study case. You will send it to Jingzhao Mansion tomorrow morning. The master will know how to proceed. After I leave, everything in the mansion will remain the same. Don't run around in a panic." She paused for a moment, held the housekeeper's hand, and continued: "Wan Niang, who lives in the backyard, if things get worse, send her back to the south of the Yangtze River, and the Cui family will protect her for me."
The butler's face was full of tears, bowing his head and saying: "Old servant, listen, Cui's house must be in order, and wait for your lord to return safely."
Cui Yunji laughed it off, she was just in case of accidents.
As soon as Jin Yiwei left, the butler opened his palm and saw a small piece of square paper on it.He took a quick look, ate the paper, and then personally sent a message to Wan Niang, asking her to pack up her luggage first, and if something unexpected happens, she can leave at any time.
After hearing this, Wan Niang asked, "Why did Jin Yiwei come to the door?"
The housekeeper shook his head: "Jinyiwei has always been domineering, just arresting people, not saying why."
Wan Niang pondered, thought for a while, and asked, "Do you know how the situation of Lord Shangqing is?"
The steward thought for a while, and said, "Sir Shangqing has been in the palace all this time, but this old slave doesn't know."
Even a three-year-old child knows how dangerous the imperial prison is, if they don't pay attention, Cui Yunji will lose half of her life even if she is released.Wan Niang immediately said: "Try to see Mr. Shang Shangqing."
The butler was stunned: "Your Excellency has an order before you leave, ordering me to wait and not to run."
Wanniang's expression was calm: "Just try it, it won't be as bad as it is now. If you try to find Shangqing, I will be able to persuade Shangqing to help." Shangqing and Jingzhao have a close relationship. Prison, even if there is no rescue, it is easy to ask about the crime.What's more, she has also heard about the outside affairs in the past few days. If it was caused by the Jiangnan incident, Shangqing was also in Jiangnan at that time. Moreover, she remembered that all the senior officials above the third rank were arrested in the past two days. It doesn't make sense to go back and catch a fourth-rank Jingzhao as the sign of the end.Such an anomaly, it could only be through Jingzhao to draw out someone who is more carefree.
The housekeeper bowed deeply: "What the girl said is consistent with what the adults ordered. I will do it now." Cui Yunji gave him a piece of paper before leaving, and wrote a thin word on it, asking him to find Bo Shangqing.It's just that Wanniang and the Cui family are outsiders after all, the housekeeper can't trust her, but when it comes to this step, if there is a glimmer of hope, he has to give it a try.
To find Shangqing, the first thing is to go to her mansion.
Mu Sheng is not in the mansion, she is in the palace.But the servants in her house can pass the words into the palace.The housekeeper said: "There is a matter of your family's life and death, please see me soon."
How could the Bo family spread the word for him because of his frivolous words, and asked him to tell the evidence.
The housekeeper whispered what Wanniang told him to Uncle Bo's ear.Uncle Bo's expression changed slightly, and the butler nodded: "Jing Zhao has already been imprisoned, if you don't hurry up, you will be able to catch your lord if you follow the clues."
Uncle Bo didn't delay any longer, just in case something like this happened, he hurriedly ordered someone to go to the gate of the palace to pass the news.
Mu Sheng was having dinner with the emperor, when he heard the family report, his expression changed slightly, and he was about to leave the palace immediately, so Meng Xiuyi naturally asked.
Mu Sheng said helplessly: "Yun Ji is in prison." He added: "Prison."
What Wanniang can think of, the emperor can naturally think of. She has been paying close attention to the movement of Pang Zhongzhi, and upon hearing this, she immediately said: "I will go with you."
"what are you going to do?"
"Go and see how beautiful Wanniang is."
"Crack!" Slapping her on the back, Mu Sheng supported her forehead: "Can you talk properly?"
Meng Xiuyi lowered his head and said, "Forget it, you go." Going with her now, her identity will only add to the confusion.
Mu Sheng sighed, patted her back and said: "I'll be back in a while."
"You won't be able to come back until tomorrow morning." Meng Xiuyi corrected, everyone is in jail, how can it be so easy to get out.Thinking that Pang Zhongzhi deliberately expanded the situation, one by one, and almost involved the four prime ministers, she calmed down and said: "I know whether it is loyalty or treachery. You can go and have a look. I ordered Mai Ron En is up to you, but if there is any obstacle, say it is according to my word of mouth, and I will not come to tear you down anyway."
Even though he knew that His Majesty treated her without reservation, Mu Sheng was still very moved when she heard that she had opened such a big back door for herself. She wanted to say something, but she was at a loss for words, so she reached out and hugged her, saying: "I will do it as soon as possible." return."
Meng Xiuyi bent his lips: "Yes."
There is more and more tacit understanding between them, many things need not be said, they have a tacit understanding.
