After the scheming is dressed into an innocent beauty

Bai Jinfu stayed in front of Jing Yu's bed for a whole night. After midnight, he took the temperature on Tan Jing Yu's forehead and felt that it was not so hot. Immediately, he asked the imperial physician to come in again. Announcing that Jing Yu's condition had improved, he ordered a servant to bring a bowl of medicine for Jing Yu to take, and told Bai Jinfu that as long as Jing Yu didn't have a fever again, he should be fine when he woke up.

After listening to the imperial physician's words, Bai Jinfu's heartstrings relaxed a little. He took care of Jing Yu all night with his clothes untied, and when it was almost dawn, Bai Jinfu, who hadn't closed his eyes for two nights, couldn't resist the sleepiness and lay down on the edge of the bed to take a nap for a while.

I don't know how long he had slept, when suddenly someone came in to wake him up and reported that Emperor Longqing sent him to the palace to have an audience.

Bai Jinfu rubbed his eyes, and looked at Jing Yu who was lying on the bed next to him. Although he was not awake yet, his complexion was much better than before, his breathing was smooth, and his body was not hot. He should have survived the most difficult time. close.

Bai Jinfu really wanted to wait for Jing Yu to wake up and make sure he was fine before leaving, but he had already stayed in Ning'an Hou's residence all night, and now Emperor Longqing announced him into the palace again, if he stayed here any longer, it might attract people's attention. Criticized, so I could only get up and leave.

Before he left, he called Lu Tang in and told him, "Lu Tang, I know you are loyal to Lord Hou, so you guard here for me, and no one is allowed to enter or leave Lord Hou's yard at will. The medicine must be tested for poison before he can take it, do you understand?"

Lu Tang raised his hand and promised: "Your Highness, don't worry, the Lord Hou is so kind to the villain, and the villain will definitely guard the Lord Hou. Even if someone cuts the villain's head with a knife, the villain will never move a step!"

Bai Jinfu nodded: "Okay, I have to go to the palace for something. If Master Hou wakes up, send someone a message to me immediately."

After finishing speaking, he ordered the guards he brought over last night to stand guard outside the courtyard. Jing Yu is now lying unconscious on the bed. Who knows if Yang Shi and Jing Haoyuan will have any evil intentions, so Ning An He didn't trust anyone else in the Hou's mansion. These guards were all his confidantes, all of them were highly skilled in martial arts and only obeyed his orders. With them guarding here, Bai Jinfu could feel a little more at ease.

After Bai Jinfu explained this, he left in a hurry, went back to the palace to change his clothes, and then went to the palace to see Emperor Longqing.

Yang Shi also sent someone to Jing Yu's yard early in the morning to inquire about Jing Yu's situation, but was mercilessly driven back by the guards of Bai Jinfu outside the door. It fell to the ground, startling Jing Haoyuan.

Jing Haoyuan put down his chopsticks and said dissatisfiedly: "Mother, what are you doing, I haven't finished my meal yet."

Yang pointed at Jing Haoyuan's nose and cursed: "Eat, eat, eat, play all day long, how could I give birth to such a crap like you!"

Jing Haoyuan was scolded inexplicably, "Mother, okay, what kind of anger are you doing? What did I do wrong?"

"Everyone has come to the house to slap you in the face, and you still have time to eat!" Yang twisted Jing Haoyuan's arm bitterly, and said angrily, "An outsider ran into someone's house and pretended to be the master." Well, your elder brother is injured, I am his aunt, and you are his younger brother, but we are not even allowed to take a look at him, what do you mean, are you using us as thieves?"

Jing Haoyuan understood why Yang was angry, and muttered: "Then what's the use of being angry, who makes him a prince now, his arms can't twist his big legs."

Mrs. Yang glared at him, "He used to be just an unknown person living in our mansion. I would salute you when I saw you, but now he is a prince, and you? Can't earn it! What else can I expect from you in the future?"

Jing Haoyuan retorted unconvinced, "Can I be the same as those poor scholars? I am the son of a noble mansion, and if I want to be an official, I just need to rely on the yin seal. If it's not good enough, I don't have an elder brother."

"If you rely on your elder brother for everything, then plan to be suppressed by him for the rest of your life." Yang's chest heaved and his eyes were full of calculations, "Now that the crown prince has fallen, I am afraid that King Lie is also lost. Sacred Heart, then the throne will most likely belong to King Xi in the end, as Jing Yu and King Xi are so close, there will be no room for our mother and son in this mansion in the future."

"No way," Jing Haoyuan was skeptical of Yang's words, "He can be the emperor even if he is like this?"

Yang sneered and said: "Why not, the emperor only has three sons left, the prince Lie Wang is almost hopeless, and King Xi has made great contributions to saving the emperor in this palace change. Do you think it is possible for the emperor to pass on the throne to the emperor?" give him?"

Jing Haoyuan's eyes widened when he heard the words, recalling that when Bai Jinfu lived in the Hou Mansion, he took advantage of him over and over again, and said a lot of bad things about Bai Jinfu and Jing Yu. Jin Fu became the emperor, what should I do if I think of these past events and ask him to settle accounts?Thinking of this, Jing Haoyuan couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, swallowing his saliva non-stop, thinking in his mind, he didn't know if it was too late to kowtow to Bai Jinfu and admit his mistake.

Yang Shi was no less worried than Jing Haoyuan. She remembered that she asked Wang Qiaoying to prescribe medicine to Jing Yu that night, and Bai Jinfu knew about it. That's why she was so guarded against her now, and had a bad relationship with Jing Yu's mother and son. It's not a big deal, but if they see evil against the future emperor, then their mother and son are really going to be in catastrophe.

The mother and son were worrying about their future fate, when a servant came in to report: "Mrs. Tai, Prime Minister Han is here. He said he came to visit Lord Hou and come to see Mrs. Tai by the way."

Mrs. Yang was worried, but Han Yucheng was too high and powerful to see her, so she had to order her servants to clean up the broken dishes, and then invite Han Yucheng to come in and talk.

Bai Jinfu entered the palace, and Emperor Longqing was waiting for him in the imperial study. He thought that Emperor Longqing wanted to discuss with the ministers the case of the prince's treason, but Emperor Longqing summoned him alone.

There was no morning court today, and Emperor Longqing sat behind his desk, wearing only ordinary clothes. After one night, the old emperor seemed to have added a few more wrinkles to his face, and his originally sharp eyes seemed to have become a bit cloudy. It shows that the health of this elderly man, who is getting older, has become worse and worse after experiencing the storm of father-son rebellion.

Emperor Longqing waved Bai Jinfu to sit down, took a sip of ginseng tea from the teacup, and said unhurriedly: "I plan to hand over the case of the prince's treason to you to preside over it, what do you think?"

Bai Jinfu thought for a while and said, "Thank you, father, for trusting my son, but this case is of great importance, and my son has no experience in trial cases before, so I am afraid that I will fail my father's expectations."

Emperor Longqing put down his teacup, "You don't have to worry about lack of experience, I will find some helpers for you to assist you in the trial, this is also an experience for you, you must take good care of it, you must not be selfish or conceal it, understand? "

Bai Jin stood up and saluted, and said respectfully: "I will obey the order, and I will definitely do things impartially and live up to my father's entrustment."

"In the future, when only our father and son are around, there is no need to be so polite. Sit down." Emperor Longqing smiled and looked at Bai Jinfu and waved his hands, then asked again, "By the way, I heard that the night before last night in front of the Golden Luan Hall, is it You saved King Lie with one arrow, is there anything wrong?"

Bai Jinfu looked ashamed, "I'm not good at archery, but I just shot an arrow when I saw someone trying to kill Fifth Brother. It's just a fluke to save Fifth Brother."

Emperor Longqing shook his head and said, "Whether it was a fluke or not, it is a fact that you saved him."

Bai Jinfu looked at Emperor Longqing sincerely and said, "Fifth Brother took care of my minister a lot in the past, but now that he is in trouble, I should naturally try my best to help."

Emperor Longqing was silent for a while, and then asked again: "You saved Lao Wu because he cared for you a lot before, but Wuji looked down on you so much before, why did you save him later?"

Bai Jinfu understood that Emperor Longqing was testing him by asking such a question, and it would be too hypocritical to say that he would repay grievances with virtue, but fortunately, he had already figured out how to respond when he rescued Lie Wang and Duan Wuji.

"Returning to Father, there are indeed many misunderstandings and disharmony between the son-in-law and Wuji. The reason why I saved him is not because of anything else, but because I am afraid that Father will be sad." Bai Jin helped him slowly, "Brother and Wuji Bogey made a heinous mistake, but after all, we are a family, flesh and blood, I can't just watch them go to the end, and now, father, you have a thousand years, if you experience the blow of bereavement again, my son will worry Your dragon body can't take it."

After hearing what he said, Emperor Longqing finally showed a gratified smile on his face that had been gloomy for many days, "You are a good boy with a kind heart." The ministers have filed petitions asking me to punish the prince and the grandson of the emperor severely according to the law, in your opinion, how should I deal with it?"

If they were punished severely according to the law, the crown prince and the emperor's grandson would not escape death, how could Bai Jinfu not understand what Emperor Longqing asked him, the old man obviously didn't want the crown prince and Duan Wuji to die.

Bai Jinfu pretended to ponder for a while, and said slowly: "I think that legal principles are nothing more than human feelings. Big brother and Wuji are certainly wrong, but at least they still have respect for you, father. If you are disrespectful, they already captured the imperial palace that day. They could have just stormed into your bedroom and forced you to write the edict of abdication, but they didn’t, which means you still have a conscience. So I feel that I am separated from heaven and man forever, and I will regret it in the future It’s useless, it’s better to give them a chance to reform themselves.”

Bai Jinfu observed Emperor Longqing's expression while talking, and saw that Emperor Longqing's brows gradually relaxed, his eyes half-closed and he nodded slightly in agreement, so he knew that what he said hit the mark.

Emperor Longqing obviously wanted to give the crown prince and Duan Wuji a way out, the reason why he didn't discuss it with other people, but only asked Bai Jinfu alone, naturally had some deep meaning.

After experiencing a series of fratricide and father-son rebellion, Emperor Longqing's requirements for the next emperor have become mediocre or even incompetent, but he must be kind and kind, and will not do anything to harm his brothers.

There is no hope for the crown prince's lineage for this dragon chair, but if it is passed on to King Lie, King Lie and Duan Wuji have a vendetta against killing their son, and when King Lie ascends the throne, they will definitely kill the prince and his son.

If Emperor Longqing had closed his eyes, it would be fine if he didn't care about the affairs behind him, but since he is still alive, it is inevitable that he should not plan for future generations.

The old man has only three sons left now, and if he can't pass the throne to the crown prince and king lie, who else can he pass it on to?

The answer is self-evident.

This is also the reason why Bai Jinfu didn't let Duan Wuji kill King Lie, and didn't let Duan Wuji kill himself. He had to convince Emperor Longqing that he was a good man with a merciful heart.

After discussing the matter, Bai Jin stood up and was about to bid farewell to Emperor Longqing when suddenly an internal official came in to report: "Your Majesty, the Ning'an Houfu sent someone to the palace to deliver a message saying that Ning'an Hou has woken up!"
