Waking up with a baby

Youzhi asked very lightly: "If the concubine really knows how to handle His Majesty, how can His Majesty have the four beauties in the harem who are legendary?"

Xue Wei was at a loss for words for a while, "...Zhi Zhi, I am the Ninth Five-Year Lord."

"Sure enough, you are still resenting me in your heart." Xue Wei smiled wryly, "I have only favored you in the past five years, and helped you to become this noble concubine. Why do you still refuse to understand my painstaking efforts?"

"His majesty's painstaking efforts?"

Youzhi smiled coolly, she withdrew her hand, and asked casually: "Your Majesty, what does your Majesty mean is that concubines should take care of the overall situation and watch father being framed by others, and ignore it?"

Xue Wei frowned. He issued an order to prohibit the palace from discussing matters related to the young master, so he asked dissatisfiedly: "Who is talking to you?"

Young Twig glanced at him, but didn't answer.

She was still kneeling on the ground, with a slender figure, and her tea-white skirts were stacked heavily, like the thinnest camellia in the dense autumn atmosphere, with autumn coolness in her beautiful eyebrows and eyes.Xue Wei couldn't help but slow down his tone, "It's cold, Zhizhi, you get up first, we'll talk about this later."

"In the future?" Youzhi asked faintly: "What is the future for Your Majesty? But when the concubine's father is decapitated and unable to recover?"

"you……"

Xue Wei was born in an emperor's family, and he doesn't have the family affection of ordinary people, but only calculates and fights with each other. The intimacy of the young family is too cumbersome for him.Seeing that Xiaozhi was so stubborn, his patience finally ran out, and he showed a bit of anger, "Since you want to kneel, kneel over there!"

After finishing speaking, Xue Wei looked at the guards and palace maids who lowered their heads, not daring to show their spirits. He knew that Xiao Zhi never liked to implicate his servants, so he tossed his sleeves and said, "Kneel down to me!"

"My beloved concubine wants to kneel, so you stay with her until she remembers!"

Immediately outside the palace one after another knelt down, Xue Wei glanced at Xiaozhi, seeing that her expression was neither salty nor dull, she didn't even give herself a look, and walked into the bedroom furiously.

Seeing this, Eunuch Chang hastily chased after him and reminded: "Your Majesty, King Jia has something to ask to see you."

Xue Wei had originally confessed that he would not see anyone today, but he expected that Xue Bai would definitely come to the palace. However, it was impossible for him to just sit idly by like Xiaozhi. Now that he had come forward, he could not use the reason of physical discomfort to prevaricate Xue Bai. , Xue Wei had no choice but to say displeasedly: "Let him in."

Eunuch Chang turned his head and said with a smile: "My lord, please come this way, my lord."

Xue Bai nodded slightly, and walked into the bedroom, "Brother Emperor."

Xue Wei sat down in front of the desk, suppressed the boredom in his heart, and smiled slightly: "I made you laugh."

Xue Bai didn't answer, Xue Wei asked knowingly: "I heard that people in the palace said that Qingqing was pregnant, and the emperor didn't accompany him, how did he enter the palace?"

Xue Bai raised his eyes, "My brother has something to report."

"Is it also related to Jiangnan cloth village?" Xue Wei frowned, "Imperial brother, the family has family rules, the country has state laws, even if the young family is close to us, we can't bend the law for personal gain and protect them, not to mention that I am the king of a country , and you are the lord, if the siblings had a quarrel today, I would order Yue Zhang to be innocent, how can I convince the public in the future?"

Xue Bai asked calmly: "As the emperor said, the family has its own rules, and the state has its laws."

After a pause, he finally explained why he came here: "My brother's trip was not to plead for Yue Zhang. It was just a few days ago that I met Ji Qiuying. After asking a few words, Ji Qiuxun said that he was thrown into a dungeon and failed to participate in the autumn test."

"The imperial examination is related to the prosperity and decline of the country, and Ji Qiuxun has always been known as the most talented man in the capital. Even Mr. Huang is full of praise for him. Maybe he will become the emperor's minister in the future." Xue Bai looked at Xue Wei, " As for the person who put him in the dungeon, he was also an official ordered by the court, according to my brother, why don't the emperor personally issue an order to order someone to thoroughly investigate this matter."

Xue Wei was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't expect the words used to dismiss Xue Bai to block him.

It's just about Ji Qiu Falcon, he really didn't know about it.Actually, as Xue Bai said, the imperial examinations in the past dynasties are of great importance, not to mention that when he was interested, he also made private visits in secret, not only heard a little about Ji Qiuying, but also had a conversation with him. He is a real talent, so after returning to the palace, Xue Wei repeatedly mentioned him to the people of the Hanlin Academy, but Ji Qiuzhen did not take the imperial examination, and no one has reported to him so far.

Which is more important, Xue Wei naturally understood, he immediately flew into a rage and said: "Prisoned in a dungeon? Who is so bold? Check! Check immediately!"

Xue Bai said slowly, "It's Zhuang Xiang and Lord Lu."

Xue Wei raised his head suddenly, staring at Xue Bai thoughtfully.

Xue Bai turned a blind eye, and said in a flat tone: "Since the emperor has said that he will thoroughly investigate them, why don't we make an order immediately."

Xue Wei's brows were tightly furrowed, and it was only at this moment that he realized that Xue Bai was deliberately saying that Ji Qiu Falcon was hindered and failed to take the imperial examination, and that it was Zhuang Chengxiang who did it.In the final analysis, Xue Bai's trip this time is still for the young master, but if he ordered a thorough investigation of Prime Minister Zhuang and Lord Lu, the game he had set up would not be able to continue, and if he ignored it...

Just now I said that the family has family rules and the state owns the law.

Thinking of this, Xue Wei's expression gradually became gloomy.

His younger brother is really as cunning as ever.

Xue Bai had a panoramic view of Xue Wei's displeasure, his eyes were calm and calm, "Brother, Zhuang Xiang's move will not only harm the imperial examination at least, but also endanger the country at worst. Even though he has made many contributions over the years, but It must not be allowed to bow naturally."

Xue Wei looked unpredictable, weighing the pros and cons in his heart.

Just at this time, Dian Cui outside the bedroom exclaimed, "Ma'am, what's wrong with you?"

"Come on! Come on! Call the imperial physician! Hurry up!"

Xue Wei's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't worry too much, "The two of them are temporarily dismissed for a thorough investigation. If there is something wrong, I will make my own decision!"

After the words fell, he strode out.

Xue Bai in the dormitory glanced out, the fainted young branch was held in Xue Wei's arms, Xue Wei's eyes were full of affection, and she closed her eyes, indifferent, until when she passed by Xue Bai, she made a sudden movement and turned slightly to his side Face to face, from an angle that Xue Wei could not see, Xiao Zhi said silently to Xue Bai: "My lord."

Really too smart.

Xue Wei's words could be regarded as verbal instructions, Xue Bai stood still for a moment, and bid farewell to Xue Wei, but Xue Wei was so worried about the young branch that he had no time to take care of him, so he waved his hand, "Go."

Xue Bai nodded.

He sat on the sedan chair, closed his eyes lightly, and said softly, "Go to the government."

Naturally, no one in the government knew about the affairs in the palace. As for Zhang Ming who was sent by Mr. Liu to ask Xue Bai for instructions, he didn't see anyone, so he had to go back to the government first, and when he returned, Lu Tingwei followed closely.

Quan Quan reported to Master Liu with a bitter face: "My lord, Prime Minister Zhuang said that he has already learned about this and will come here later."

Lu Tingwei didn't wait for him to finish speaking, pointed at Ji Qiu Falcon with an angry face, and scolded: "You're talking nonsense!"

Ji Qiuying smiled contemptuously, "From this point of view, my lord really dares to do it."

"Do you dare to do it or not?" Lu Tingwei asked in a cold voice: "Master Ji, I have been an official in the same dynasty as your father for more than ten years. I advise you not to be obsessed with ghosts for a while, so as not to regret it later. Do you know how to slander the imperial court? What should I do?"

"Slander?" Ji Qiuying said word by word: "When it comes to splashing dirty water, no one can match Mr. Lu and Prime Minister Zhuang."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to Master Liu and said, "My lord, today the grassroots are beating the drums to express their grievances, not only for themselves, but also for their young ones. The Jiangnan cloth village incident and the dead body in the moat were instigated by these two lords." of!"

"I wonder why someone would sue this officer." Lu Tingwei's expression remained unchanged, "It turns out that the drunkard's intention is not to drink."

Ji Qiuying ignored him, and asked Master Liu in a loud voice: "My lord, can you tell the deceased Jiang Tian's mother——Zhang Yuanwai's in-laws and mothers?"

Master Liu agrees.

Mother Jiang came tremblingly and was supported by someone. Now she is over a hundred and half years old, her hair is full of hair, and the pain of losing her son makes Jiang's mother look very haggard, her cloudy eyes are full of tears, "Master Qingtian, my son It's an unjust death!"

"Although my son is idle all day long, he has a good heart and has never done anything harmful to the world. Why do you want me to be sent to a black-haired man by a white-haired man?" Thinking about Jiang Tian, ​​Jiang's mother almost broke her heart. She cried out: " Master Qingtian, you must be the master for us."

Master Liu sighed, "Madam, please get up."

Jiang's mother cried, "That day my son had already rested, but someone knocked on the door in the middle of the night, and I only heard the two of them chatting a few words. What they said, after everything is done, Mr. Lu will be rewarded. . "

"I asked my son, and he only said that he found a serious job in Master Lu's hands."

"Jiang Tian has been a gangster since he was a child. I thought he finally changed his gender and didn't plan to mess around anymore. How could he think..."

At this point, Jiang's mother choked up for a while, and she rushed towards Lu Tingwei uncontrollably, "It's you! It's you who killed my son!"

Mother Jiang stared at Lu Tingwei, "Why is it him?"

"Crazy crazy."

Jiang's mother was crying and her face was haggard. Lu Tingwei couldn't bear to push her away, "I never ordered anyone to look for Jiang Tian in the middle of the night, let alone murder him."

Jiang's mother fell to the ground, crying bitterly, "Jiang Tian, ​​why are you so cruel, let me send a white-haired man to a black-haired man?"

Lu Tingwei flicked his sleeves, even if he did find a reason to take Ji Qiu Fal into the dungeon, the matter of Jiang Tian was not by him.Lu Tingwei asked Ji Qiuying coldly: "Young Master Ji, you are so brave for being so young and promising! First you arranged for the court officials, and then you colluded with Jiang Tian's mother!"

"Today you beat the drums to express grievances, but the intention is to turn black and white."

"You know that I have trapped you in prison, since I can trap you once, I can also trap you a second time." Lu Tingwei said loudly: "Come here, this person disturbed the court and sent him to the dungeon!"

Master Liu hurriedly spoke out to stop him: "Master Lu, is this bad?"

"Why not? He has no proof, no proof, no proof!" Lu Tingwei said angrily, "This man is really vicious and extremely cunning!"

Master Liu still wanted to persuade, "Master Liu..."

Lu Tingwei looked serious, "Master Liu intends to cover up this person?"

Master Liu complained endlessly, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Master Lu misunderstood."

"That's fine."

Lu Tingwei withdrew his gaze, and was about to order again, Ji Qiuying said slowly: "Wait a minute."

"Since Mr. Lu's humane words are groundless, the grass people must prove to Mr. Lu that every word of the grass people is true, and there is absolutely no intention of deceiving." He stared at Lu Tingwei and said, "Besides, Mr. Lu believes that the grass people are juveniles. They came here to wash away their grievances, and since this is the case, the grass-roots have no choice but to be disrespectful."

He paused, "Because the prince wanted to enter the palace, he handed over one person to the grassroots, and asked the grassroots to bring him to the court. Presumably Lord Lu knew him—"

"After all, this person claims to be the head of the Lu family, and he is also the person who came to look for Jiang Tian that day."

Lu Tingwei frowned secretly.

Director of the Lu Mansion?

Previously, Master Lu was almost cleared of his crimes because Jiang Tian was found in the moat, and his money bag contained gold leaves cast by the You family, which failed to let Master You get away, and You Qing was also implicated.Naturally, Lu Tingwei knew that it was Prime Minister Zhuang's handwriting, but now Ji Qiusun's insincerity and insincerity were instigated by him, the more Lu Tingwei thought about it, the more suspicious he became.

Is he trying to drive a wedge between himself and Prime Minister Zhuang?

Even though he was uneasy, Lu Tingwei's face was watertight, "I don't know, Mr. Ji, why don't you bring him up first, and let me have a look."

Ji Qiuying snorted coldly, "Butler Lu—please."

The guards of the palace dragged the tied up man to the court. The man was covered in blood scabs. When he saw Mr. Liu, he kowtowed and cried, "My lord, my lord, I'll recruit, I'll recruit them all!"

"Master Lu asked me to push Jiang Tian into the river!"

"Master Lu said that after getting rid of Jiang Tian, ​​he will keep me safe from now on. I, I was fooled by lard for a while."

Jiang's mother recognized his voice, raised her finger to this person, her arm was trembling, "That's a human life! How could you be so, so..."

It can be said that strange things happened again and again today, Lu Tingwei took a few glances at the person who claimed to be the head of the Lu House, and sneered, "This person is not the head of my Lu House."

"Lord Lu, in the past ten years in the Lu Mansion, the villain has been greedy for money, but there is no credit, but hard work! The villain has an old mother and a wife and daughter, so I can only confess you!"

"you--"

There was chaos in the courtroom, Prime Minister Zhuang walked in at this time, he glanced at Mother Jiang and the manager who were kneeling on the ground out of the corner of his eye, and asked calmly, "Master Liu, what's wrong?"

Mr. Liu told the truth.

Prime Minister Zhuang thought for a moment, walked to Lu Tingwei's side, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Whether it is the head of the Lu Mansion or not, just send a few people from the Lu Mansion to identify it."

The person who claimed to be the housekeeper of Lu's house glanced at Prime Minister Zhuang, and Prime Minister Zhuang nodded slightly at him, while Lu Tingwei, who saw their actions in his eyes, had a complicated expression, and felt uneasy in his heart.

What's the matter?

Zhuang Cheng seemed to be aware of Lu Tingwei's doubts, and he patted Lu Tingwei's shoulder again, "You and I have been working together for so many years, I——definitely won't hurt you, don't think too much about it."

Lu Tingwei still frowned.

Prime Minister Zhuang didn't say much, just looked at Master Liu with a smile, like an old fox.

Originally, he really wouldn't do anything to Lu Tingwei, but it's a pity that his good daughter made Zhuang Qiutong fall like this, and Lu Tingwei intentionally shielded her.

What is missing?It's just because I'm afraid that he will settle accounts.

Prime Minister Zhuang sneered, because of Xue Bai, he had reached an agreement with Xue Wei, and after today, both Young Master and Lu Tingwei will disappear without a trace.

As for Xue Bai - toasts do not eat fine wine.

Not long after, the servants of Lu's mansion rushed over, and the maid serving Lu Tingwei walked into the courtroom. When she saw the bloody man, she immediately covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Lu Tingwei raised his eyes in disbelief, "What did you say?"

Xue Bai also came to the court at this time, his eyes passed over Prime Minister Zhuang and Lu Tingwei, and then he said indifferently: "The emperor has an order, and Prime Minister Zhuang and Master Lu acted boldly and detained the imperial examination candidates privately. Temporarily dismissed from office, waiting for a thorough investigation."

The author has something to say: You Qingqing: The family has family rules, the state owns the law, today I will give me a candied haws once I get up for a hug, I will give me a hairy crab for a kiss, and I will have all I can eat if I pinch it!

Prince: How about sleeping once?
