Powerful ministers are husbands

"The matter is really urgent. I am worried that I will be late for a while, and I will..." Pang Miao hesitated to continue, making people feel that it is really difficult to explain clearly and extremely urgent.

"This..." The guard at the palace gate looked back, "I'll go and talk to our boss, let him think of a way for you."

"Then I'll take the trouble, thank you." Pang Miao thanked him first regardless of success.

The guard at the palace gate was a little embarrassed, scratched his hair, and hurried back to report the reason to his boss.

Pang Miao turned his head and looked on the street, but he couldn't see any trace of Dali Temple's people and horses, and he presumably was still searching in the winding alleys.

After a while, the guards at the gate of the palace came back, looking a little embarrassed, "Our leader has already informed the general's wife, but whether the guards in front of the Hall of Erectile Dysfunction will let them in, and whether the internal servants will notify them, the Holy Majesty is willing to see you, that's all. It's up to us to decide, if things can't be done, please don't blame Madam..."

The attitude of this guard at the palace gate is more than a million times better than the lackeys of Dali Temple. Pang Miao was quite moved by his willingness to help, "I am the one who troubled you all. If the failure is caused by external factors, how could I will blame."

"Then I would like to thank Madam for your forgiveness." The guards at the palace gate cupped their hands and stood with Pang Miao and the others, waiting for the news.

At this time, a sedan chair stopped in front of the palace gate, and the guard at the palace gate took a look at the attire of the bearer, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "Luo Zaifu."

The sedan chair curtain was lifted, and a middle-aged man with an extraordinary bearing came out of the sedan chair. He was dressed in a purple official robe, still showing a luxurious style in the night.He waved his hand to let the bearer carry the sedan chair away, nodded to the guards at the palace gate who saluted him, and then his eyes fell on Pang Miao.

"You are..." Luo Biqing felt that this woman looked familiar.

Pang Miao saluted, "The General of the Left Guard, Cao Lv, is... the concubine's husband."

"Oh—I remember now." Luo Biqing stroked his beard, looked carefully at Pang Miao's face, "Could it be that you came to the palace gate for Cao Lu's case?"

"My concubine... is here to invite old General Cao." Pang Miao didn't know whether Luo Zaifu was on the same side as the Cao family, and hesitated whether to reveal the real intention of coming.

"Running to the palace gate in the middle of the night, it must be a very important matter. It's just that the national crisis is at hand, can't we bear it for a while?" Luo Biqing asked again, "Besides, how could you be a woman?" , ran out in the middle of the night?"

"What Luo Zaifu said is that although family affairs are not as important as state affairs, I secretly think that small things are enough to mess up big ones. If the family is uneasy, why worry about sharing the worries for the Holy One?" Pang Miao lowered his head. It was a face-to-face meeting.People who can become the prime minister of a country have seen the world and have sharp eyes. It would be bad if he saw something.

Luo Biqing narrowed her eyes, and smiled suddenly, "I see. Come with me to meet the Holy Majesty."

"Eh?" Pang Miao was stunned for a moment, it seemed that Luo Zaifu had discerned the deep meaning of the cryptic sentence just now.But it never occurred to him that Luo Zaifu didn't go to help invite Cao Zheng, let their family members discuss it first, but directly face the saint.

This...is very courageous.

"Come with me." Luo Biqing didn't say much, and walked directly to the palace gate.

Pang Miao glanced at the guards. At this time, he had to go in by himself. The guards were only members of Cao's family, not paid by the court, so they were not qualified to enter the palace gate.

Near the foot of the emperor, Cao Zheng is also in the palace, what can happen?Pang Miao followed Luo Biqing's footsteps without fear.

Under the dark night, the corridors in the palace seemed endless.

Luo Biqing's pace was neither fast nor slow, and her slanted shadow fell on the gray floor tiles.Pang Miao followed behind neither far nor close, with his head slightly lowered, with a submissive look.

"Young Madam Cao, aren't you afraid?" Luo Biqing asked suddenly.

Pang Miao asked softly, "Why are you afraid?" This was his second time entering the palace, the first time was the palace examination, and his excitement and fear had been exhausted since that time.

"Haha." There was no malice in Luo Biqing's laughter, and she didn't ask any more questions, just walked forward.

When Pang Miao and Luo Biqing came to the Liangyi Hall, there was candlelight in the hall, and there were faint arguments.

"Luo Zaifu, you are back." An older servant came forward respectfully, "Hey, this is..."

"Old General Cao's daughter-in-law." Luo Biqing only answered this sentence, and sent the servant to report to the palace.

The servant looked at Pang Miao hesitantly, then trotted into the Liangyi Hall, and quickly withdrew, asking Luo Biqing and Pang Miao to go.

Luo Biqing was not in a hurry to go in, and smiled at Pang Miao, "Then, I will wait for Mrs. Cao Shao to have a good show." Before waiting for an answer, she stepped into the gate of Liangyi Hall first.

Pang Miao clenched his sleeves tightly and stepped into the threshold.

"Old eighth daughter-in-law, why are you here?" Cao Zheng was a little surprised when he saw Pang Miao on his tired face.

When Zhuan Sun Yongde heard it, he suddenly became interested, "It turns out that she is Cao Aiqing's wife, why did she come into the palace suddenly?"

Pang Miao knelt down and saluted politely, "I know that my husband has been wronged. In order to save my husband from danger, I went to the Yamen of Dali Temple in the middle of the night to tell the evidence. Who would have thought that I would be rudely refused and chased by the servants, and I had no choice but to do so?" The only way for a concubine to go to the palace is to face the Holy One. If the Holy Majesty wants to blame the crime of breaking into the palace gate, I am willing to accept the punishment without any complaints, but I beg the Holy Majesty to listen to the evidence that the concubine said."

Is there a way to save Cao Lv? !Zhuan Sun Yongde's eyes lit up, but seeing the faces present, they didn't show the slightest complacency on the surface, and said calmly: "If you speak falsely without evidence, I will not only punish you for trespassing, but also punish you with You will be dragged out and beheaded for the crime of bullying the emperor, and Cao Lv and others will also be implicated. Do you understand?"

When Cao Zheng heard this, he sweated a lot.

The eighth daughter-in-law came from a slightly cold background, so she must be extremely nervous to be able to enter the palace gate. If the words were unclear, and the King Yan faction seized the opportunity and took the opportunity to intensify the frame and retaliate, it would be impossible to clean up by jumping into the Yellow River.

Pang Miao replied calmly, "Understood."

Some of the officials present knew the background of Cao Lu's wife, so they were waiting to see the Cao family push themselves into a desperate situation.

Zhuan Sun Yongde leaned on the back of the chair, raised his hand, "Tell me carefully."

A red-robed official jumped out first, "My lord, now that the border war is in crisis, the selection of the marshal of the army should be the most important thing! The case of General Cao is a small matter, and it will not be too late to discuss it later."

Zhuan Sun Yongde tilted his head, stared at the official again and again, and said with a smile: "Anyway, there are endless debates about the candidate for the Marshal of the Marching Army at this time, but there is no conclusion, why don't we put it aside for now, let's take a look at the other things , after the atmosphere has eased, it’s not too late to discuss it again.”

"Your Majesty!" The red-robed official wanted to persuade again, but Zhuan Sun Yongde's eyes were gloomy and sharp for an instant, and he swallowed back the words in fright.

Someone next to him lowered his voice and advised, "Hmph, let's see how the Cao family sends themselves to death."

The red-robed official was right after thinking about it, so he gave up.

Pang Miao glanced at Cao Zheng, then at Luo Biqing who was standing beside him. He was neither anxious nor impatient, and said slowly: "The only son of Xue Shilang is named Xue Jinyi, and my concubine's elder brother once had a relationship with him, so I also I have met Xue Shilang before. I found out about these things not long ago, when my elder brother returned to Beijing to arrange a wedding for my concubine, I told my concubine what to do."

"At that meeting, Mr. Xue said that he was looking for someone, a man who was willing to give up everything for his beloved woman. It is said that after the man lost his wife in his early years, he never remarried for more than ten years, until one day he met a man of character. The girl whose appearance was similar to his dead wife wanted to marry her wholeheartedly. But the girl had a high heart and felt that she was admired just because she was similar to his dead wife. She felt a little angry and left without saying goodbye overnight. The man didn't know where the girl was going, and was anxious about her In extreme extremes, they searched for news all night and went away, even the family members didn't bother to say hello."

"This man is Xue Weikai, the servant of the Ministry of War."
