Come on, Your Highness

The court dispersed, and the ministers on the side said goodbye to Wei Guogong one by one.

He came out staggeringly, but was suddenly supported by someone, and sighed softly: "Master, please take care."

Wei Guogong raised his hand and said casually: "It's okay, thank you."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly raised his head to see that it was He Xichao.

The latter smiled and said, "Let's go, grandfather, grandson will take you back."

Wei Guogong sighed: "Xi Chao, just a little bit, the old man almost asked the emperor to let Shan'er go home."

"Fortunately, grandfather didn't say, now is not the time." He Xichao said calmly.

Wei Guogong nodded, he could guess the emperor's thoughts after being with him for many years.

Of course Emperor Tiangan was angry with those honorable ministers who did such dirty things. Seeing Dali Temple swiftly arrest and bring them to justice, they would probably all have their heads thrown to the ground.

But the eldest princess and Zhan Shaoqi, one is a sister and the other is a nephew, and the nephew's father died loyally. The emperor is not hard-hearted after all.

Even when he suddenly heard about this, he wanted to let them die, but after calming down, Emperor Tiangan still wanted to give them a way to survive.

However, Wei Guogong's transfer made the emperor directly into a dilemma. At this time, reconciliation and separation will only make Emperor Tiangan angry and fall short.

"Wait a minute, we are not the ones who are most anxious now." He Xichao said softly.

Besides, Xiao Hong is usually very attentive, but now he just turned his head and left.

But before he walked out of the palace gate, the little eunuch appeared in front of him with an apologetic smile on his face: "His Royal Highness, the emperor has summoned you."

So Xiao Hong could only turn around reluctantly and walk back to the main hall of Qing Dynasty.

"Usually, when I'm too lazy to talk to you, I have to come up to you, but now I can run faster than anyone else!"

At this moment, Emperor Tiangan had changed into casual clothes, and sat behind the case and glared at Xiao Hong with displeasure.

The latter scratched his head, and said helplessly, "No matter how fast this slipped away, I was caught by you, right?"

"Co-authoring or unwillingness, right? Hmph, what are you sharing your worries with, it's just coaxing me to listen to you."

Xiao Hong bared his teeth when he heard the words, pulled the stool brought by Eunuch Huang and sat next to Emperor Tiangan, and said, "The problem is that this son who shares worries really can't tell the difference. I'm afraid you will be even more unhappy if you say it."

Emperor Tiangan looked at him expressionlessly.

Xiao Hong felt a little headache, he turned his head and glanced at Eunuch Huang, the latter understood, walked out of the palace door lightly, and stood guard outside.

Seeing this, Emperor Tiangan didn't stop him.

I saw Xiao Hong rolled his eyes, stood up, put his hips on his hips, took a deep breath, opened his mouth and reprimanded: "Wei Guogong, this old man is also an asshole! How can he secretly handle such a big matter by himself? Stomp on the ground with all your strength! Do you still have the Emperor Daqi in your eyes? Too much, too much! If you are wronged, you just face the saint directly. Could it be that the emperor will cover up and do favoritism? Impossible, the emperor is wise and mighty, the world As we all know, it has always been handled impartially! Besides, she is a granddaughter, and she has not been killed. She has endured it for so many years. If you can’t bear it, you will have to. The royal face is important! Look at what this is doing? Selfish , is too selfish, clearly does not trust the emperor, it is a crime worthy of death!"

After Xiao Hong finished speaking in one breath, he turned around and winked at Emperor Tiangan: "Father, my son thinks it's time to hit a hundred boards, so I'll put the sack on for you tonight, how about it?"

Emperor Tiangan's face turned black and white for a while, and after brewing for a long time, he finally roared angrily: "Xiao Hong——"

Xiao Hong's expression changed, he quickly lowered his body and shrunk his head, only to hear a bang, a cup of tea flew towards him, and it shattered on the bluestone floor tiles with a crisp sound.

These days, when emperors smash things, Xiao Hong is the only one who dares to hide.

The emperor roared angrily: "Stinky boy, don't hide from me!"

"Don't hide, wait for the head to open the ladle?" Xiao Hong twitched the corner of his mouth, and avoided the oncoming Zhe Ziyu.

The royal case is full of documents presented by the cabinet, some are thick and some are thin, and it hurts when it hits the body.

However, Xiao Hong shuttled through with his agility, without touching any leaves, until Emperor Tiangan finished flying all the flying folds, and the folds were still intact. He was so angry that his head became hot, and he picked up the paperweight on the table.

Xiao Hong's complacency suddenly changed, and he quickly shouted: "That's the paperweight of the empress!"

When Emperor Tiangan heard this, the relic of his beloved wife that he almost let go of was finally put down under the last remaining rationality, and then he glanced at it...

Xiao Hong's eyes widened, and he begged for mercy while shaking his head: "I was wrong, father, my son is outspoken, please let me go a lot! If you smash it down, grass will grow on my son's grave next year..."

When Eunuch Huang rushed in listening to the noise, he saw Emperor Tiangan holding up the inkstone while Xiao Hong also raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.

"Oh, your majesty, what are you doing?" He hurried over to stop him.

Emperor Tiangan made a big move, his breath was a little unstable, he stared at Xiao Hong and said: "You ask him, what kind of nonsense did he say..."

Xiao Hong was a little aggrieved, and muttered: "Isn't this all what you think in your heart?"

"You!" The inkstone was about to be smashed down, Xiao Hong suddenly hugged his head and squatted on the ground.

"Your Majesty, you can't do it!" Eunuch Huang hugged Emperor Tiangan's hand and pleaded, "It's not the first time His Royal Highness has spoken out loud. You have taught me a lesson. If this continues, Your Highness will die." .”

Xiao Hong actually nodded in a serious manner, causing Emperor Tiangan's anger to rush from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Eunuch Huang looked left and right, and suddenly his eyes lit up and said: "There is a feather duster over there, if the emperor is angry, use this one!"

Xiao Hong couldn't believe it when he heard it: "Old Huang, you..."

But Emperor Tiangan took out a feather duster from a corner aggressively, and walked towards Xiao Hong...

After a stick of incense...

Xiao Hong sat on the ground with his lips pouted, and Emperor Tiangan sat on the other side with sweat on his forehead, gasping for breath and disregarding his image.

The broken porcelain pieces on the ground have been cleaned up, but the folds are still scattered on the ground.

The whole hall was empty except for the father and son.

Xiao Hong lamented: "You are so ruthless in your strikes, they are all broken, look!"

In front of him, a broken feather duster was lying on the ground, quietly accusing the emperor of his atrocities.

Emperor Tiangan ignored him coldly.

Xiao Hong thought for a while, then grinned and moved his butt. When he got to the side of the emperor, he bumped it with his knee: "Don't worry, my son's butt must have been swollen by you."

The latter still did not speak.

Xiao Hong sighed, then raised his handsome face, showing his white teeth, blinked his eyes while smiling, and apologized: "My son is wrong, you are a big man, please forgive me once, look at my sincere face, smile?"

Xiao Hong laughed for a long time, and when his face was about to freeze, he heard Emperor Tiangan say softly: "Chao Shang, although the ministers don't say it, they all think so in their hearts."

After all this turmoil, even though he was tired and sweaty, he had to say that the depression hidden in the emperor's heart dissipated a lot.

Looking at this silly son, he couldn't help clapping Xiao Hong's hand, and said with emotion: "Hong'er, no one will blame Wei Guogong, only sympathize with him, and I am ashamed of him. Those who can't even pronounce their names, suffer from this innocent disaster The people... I feel guilty."

Hearing what Emperor Tiangan said, Xiao Hong breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Put yourself in my shoes, even though I don't have a daughter, if my younger sisters are tortured like this, my son will definitely not let it go."

Emperor Tiangan nodded, although no one would dare to do such a thing to the princess of the Tian family, but just imagine, it is really not an exaggeration.

"Then did you know about this beforehand?"

The sudden question from the emperor made Xiao Hong dare not reply for a while, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Which aspect are you referring to?"

"The whole thing."

"My son transferred the army soldiers, and went to Qiuyuan with Dali Temple that night." Xiao Hong said.

"This is my will, other than that?"

Xiao Hong said with a sneer: "Transfer Zhan Shaoqi and leave Beijing."

Emperor Tiangan nodded: "It's pretty honest, did He Xichao beg you?"

Xiao Hong didn't dare to refute: "Cousin Xiang Xichao for help, Xichao asked me to find a way to make Zhan Shaoqi temporarily unable to return to the residence the next day."

"Ask He Xichao for help?" Emperor Tiangan chuckled.

Xiao Hong pointed to himself: "Facts have proved that it is a very wise choice. As a person who cherishes the dynasty, he will not sit idly by. The next day, Wei Guogong sent someone to take his cousin back to the house on the grounds that his aunt was ill. Next, You will know."

"He Xichao wasn't involved later?"

Xiao Hong shook his head: "Who is expelled? He wants to take care of it, but a person with such a conceited grandfather would probably not want to?"

Emperor Tiangan also knew what kind of person Wei Guogong was, and he never wanted to offend more people. However, if he really went all out, no one else would need to intervene, let alone a son who was expelled.

"I know." Emperor Tiangan said as he was about to stand up from the ground.

Xiao Hong hurriedly helped him up, sent him to the court and sat down. He put away his hippie smile and said seriously: "Father, when Xichao was expelled, he said something to Wei Guogong before he left. I also have the details. I can’t remember clearly, but there is a saying that goes like this: what is family interest, is the reputation of loyalty and filial piety, the family style of integrity, the belief of defending the family and the country, and the word-of-mouth won by all the clan members! Just talking about it.”

Emperor Tiangan looked at Xiao Hong when he heard the words, and the latter was also looking at him, with no flicker in his black eyes: "Thinking about the face of the royal family is naturally not given by others, let alone by forcing the ministers to swallow their grievances. It should be the voluntary maintenance of every family member, and anyone who uses this as an excuse to cover up crimes and disregard the laws of the country is precisely the one who does not take the royal honor to heart, do you think what I said is right?"

After he finished speaking, he handed over a few notebooks, which he had just picked up from the ground.

Emperor Tiangan took it and opened it, but each book was the impeachment of Princess Liyang and Zhan Shaoqi. Seeing those harsh words, Emperor Tiangan couldn't help sighing, and closed the notebook in a disturbed manner.

Xiao Hong stood beside him, seeing clearly.

Eunuch Huang came in with tea and placed it carefully by the emperor's hand.

"How long will Zhan Shaoqi arrive in Beijing?" Emperor Tiangan asked suddenly.

Eunuch Huang said cautiously: "I should be able to arrive in the day after tomorrow."

When Emperor Tiangan brought the tea, he raised his head to look at Xiao Hong, and finally asked: "Hong'er, if you are, will you kill me or not?"

Xiao Hong pursed his lips and didn't answer for a moment, then he said after a while: "Everyone has selfish intentions, my son and aunt Liyang are not in harmony, I'm afraid I can't give you any advice."

Emperor Tiangan paused and looked at him in surprise.

Xiao Hong smiled: "Five years ago when Wang's daughter fell into the water, it was widely spread that Miss Xi'an was ill. My son still remembers it. In addition, there are many noble ministers involved in the Qiuyuan roster. I don't think my aunt It's just to entertain these distinguished guests who are friends with Zhan Shaoqi."

As soon as this remark came out, Emperor Tiangan's face suddenly darkened, and his eyes became sharper.

At this time, the little eunuch at the door reported: "Your Majesty, the old Prince Chun, Prince Guang, Prince Pingjun, Princess Changping and other clan relatives are here to see you."

When Xiao Hong heard this, he immediately shrugged his shoulders, and the corner of his mouth curled up in mockery, and said to Emperor Tiangan: "The minister there will take his leave first."

Xiao Hong knew what these people were doing, and so did Emperor Tiangan.

"My son went to Dali Temple to look at the things that the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment can see for three days, and gain a lot of insight."

Although Princess Liyang is domineering and domineering, and her popularity is neither good nor bad, she is a member of the clan after all.

Breaking the bones and connecting the tendons is not only for foreigners, but also for the royal family.

The royal family is high above them, if they are convicted of serious crimes because of mere civilians, they will not be able to sit still if they think about themselves.

So these are all here to intercede, asking for a lighter sentence.

And the reason for using it is royal face.

However, this sharp weapon that has always been invincible just hit the iron plate today. Although Emperor Tiangan did not get angry, he said a word.

"If the face of the royal family is used to cover up scandals, do you think I will cover up or not? Who is embarrassing me?"

This matter is too big, and the impact is too bad.

Those who have fun inside are hateful, but the culprit is even more disgusting!

Neighbors in the market, the arresting room of the yamen, when everyone mentioned Liyang Princess and Zhan Shaoqi, they all spit and cursed!

There is no dignitary like them who does not regard the lives of the people as their lives, but treats them as human beings!

As Zhan Shaoqi's wife, He Lingshan should have been blamed together.

However, after Wei Guogong cried bitterly in court, the courtiers passed the reason home, and then spread from the inner house, and within a day the whole city knew about it.

Instead, people sympathized with this noble lady.

Living with a demon for eight years is not eight years in purgatory.

Thinking about He Lingshan's smile when she appeared in front of others, never saying a word of grievance or resentment towards the princess mansion, it can't help but make people feel sad.

If Wei Guogong hadn't been unable to bear it, I'm afraid it would have to come for another eight years, 18 years... This is simply unimaginable.

It is said that He Lingshan almost died at the hands of Zhan Shaoqi before being picked up by Duke Wei.

I heard that after returning to the Duke's Mansion, the Da Furen took him to Qinglian Temple, a quiet place to worship Buddha.

I heard it hurt badly...

It is said that……

But last night, someone saw them coming back.

Now, He Lingshan's former boudoir friends couldn't sit still and made an appointment to visit her, but they didn't see anyone.

It's just that Wei Guogong's mansion closed its doors to thank guests, which is even more embarrassing.

But on the second day, He Lingshan actually appeared in the medical hall to visit those rescued from the autumn garden.

She was dressed in plain clothes, and the weather was getting hotter, but there was a silk scarf around her neck, as if she was covering something.

Her face was completely pale with no makeup on, but her eyes were clear and bright, and she said with hope and firmness between her brows: "Everyone in the world knows that my life is bitter, but compared with people who are really miserable, this little bit of bitterness is nothing." What's the matter? Although the crime he committed was not my will, but as Zhan Shaoqi's wife, I cannot escape the responsibility."

After she finished speaking, she stood in front of these poor people and bowed deeply: "This belated apology is not enough to express my one-tenth of a ten thousandth guilt. I only hope to give me a chance to make up for your harm."

In the medical hall, all the doctors and patients, the guards, the kind people who sent all kinds of things to these people, and even the sympathetic scholars can see clearly.

No one thinks that she is posturing, and no one will vent their anger on her.

He Lingshan is like a mottled orchid with broken leaves. Even if it is destroyed and hurt, it still blooms stubbornly. She holds the hand of a frail girl and says: "Life is precious, no matter what you have suffered, don't give up lightly. Let it dissipate like smoke, and I would like to live with all the sisters in the days to come, live strong, God is merciful, and will give us a way out."

On the day when Zhan Shaoqi was escorted to Beijing, He Lingshan's good reputation was spreading in the capital.
