But today, he inexplicably became afraid of Bai Qingyan.
He dared not say that he was cunning and deep, but at least he was older than Bai Qingyan, or even older than Bai Qishan. He could always hide his thoughts, but now he was so arrogant... he thought he was the little girl's
Bai Qingyan saw so thoroughly.
If Sima Yan is not surprised, it is impossible. He even panicked for a moment.
"So..." Bai Qingyan placed the teacup in his hand heavily on the table, and the porcelain cups bumped into a very heavy sound, "Sir Sima, don't think that I am not very old and can fool you at will. Let's just tell me honestly!
”
Sima Yan's head was buzzing, and he immediately kowtowed to Bai Qingyan, and his forehead was hit hard, and his eyes were filled with stars: "I am afraid, I am afraid of my husband, even if I die, I dare not fool Your Majesty!"
In fact, Sima Yan also understood that since Bai Qingyan valued Sima Ruodan, he would definitely send someone to investigate the causes and consequences of the matter after he came back. At that time, he had already done his job because his mother had already done it and had definitely taken Sima Ruodan's life.
Thinking that people die like a lamp goes out, no one knows anything. It’s because I’m lucky... I don’t want to care anymore, so I don’t send anyone to finish it.
My mother has not been concerned about the affairs of the mansion for many years, and there are not many talented people available in her hands, so she will definitely leave all kinds of flaws. Bai Qingyan is now at the time when there are many talented people under her.
In just a moment, Sima Yan's heart was twisted and cold sweat broke out on his back. He quickly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, no matter who did it, the things are all in our Sima Mansion. Sima Yan, as the head of the Sima family, should naturally be
I will carry everything on my shoulders. Please forgive Sima Yan's heart, punish Sima Yan, and spare my family!"
As soon as Sima Yan finished speaking, Wei Zhong hurried in, covering his lips and said in Bai Qingyan's ear: "Your Majesty, Sima Zhongcheng's mother, Sima Lao Madam is in Dali Temple at this moment, saying that he thought he had harmed him.
Princess Xiangxi requested Dali Temple to be punished, and even brought a confession... The Dali Temple is still in response, so she has not sent it to you for the time being."
This was beyond Bai Qingyan's expectations, but it was reasonable.
Bai Qingyan nodded and said that he knew, and turned to Sima Yan who was still kneeling on the ground, and his fingers knocked on the table: "Master Sima, the old lady Sima has gone to Dali Temple and admitted that she had harmed Xiang Xie.
The princess also brought her own confession.”
Sima Yan knew that his mother knew that he came to the palace to apologize to the emperor. She was afraid that he would be implicated, so she took the lead in pleading guilty to Dali Temple. For some reason, Sima Yan, who had originally made up his mind to take the blame for his mother, was inexplicably relieved.
, but the eyes are inevitably hot.
"Your Majesty, please remember that Sima Yan is responsible for all the crimes and responsibilities of the empress's mother. Sima Yan is willing to resign... and commit suicide for his mother in vain." Sima Yan kowtowed again, sincerely.
"Master Sima has a national law. It doesn't mean that if you want to commit suicide for your mother, you can commit suicide for your mother. Besides... your mother's life is life, but the life of Princess Xiangxi is not life? Princess Xiangxi's life is life.
Isn't it life?" Bai Qingyan's voice paused, his tone slowed down and said to Sima Yan, "Sir Sima, I value Sima Ping very much..."
When Sima Yan heard this, his hands on the ground tightened and understood what this sentence meant.
"Sima Ping is like Lord Sima, and he is very cautious. It is this caution that saved the lives of many soldiers on the battlefield." Bai Qingyan saw Sima Yan's spine stiff, and said, "The national law cannot be chaotic, but...
If you want Sima Ping to have a smoother future, at least Sima Ping's father cannot cause trouble for Sima Ping, do you understand?"
Sima Yan's spine was tense, and his throat seemed to be strangled and could not make any sound. He could only bow to Bai Qingyan heavily to show that he understood.
She ordered Sima Yan because she wanted to use Sima Ping, and also because... she wanted to use Sima Yan.
Sima Yan is a capable person. Now the Great Zhou Dynasty needs talents, no matter how old it is.
She said everything she should say. Sima Yan is a smart person. No matter whether she wants to use it for her or not, he knows what to do.
No matter what, no one can violate national laws.
"Since you understand, go..." Bai Qingyan picked up the teacup again, "You can be filial, but you can't interfere in this matter. Just like the Bai clan made a mistake, I can't interfere, and I will deal with it with it by my own national law.
You must not tolerate it!"
Sima Yan kowtowed again with tears in his eyes and left the hall respectfully.
After coming out of the hall, Sima Yan looked at the magnificent double-eaved halls and red walls and golden tiles reflected by dazzling golden light, but his heart was cold, and the national law dealt with...
For Sima Yan, who was once an official in the Jin Dynasty, who was in charge of money and power, could save people even if he killed someone, and even saved several tribe members, he could not save his mother now. How could he be in his heart?
How can you not feel uncomfortable if you don’t hate it?
If he becomes an official and becomes the position of Chief Censor, he still cannot save his mother. What is the fun of what he is doing?
But Sima Yan thought of his youngest son who had been smart since childhood, and then when he thought of Bai Qingyan's words just now, his heart was tormented.
According to the law, his mother forced Sima Ruodan's mother to death and sent someone to chase Sima Ruodan. Although he failed... an exile was inevitable.
How can my mother bear it when she is old?
Sima Yan closed his eyes and slowly clenched his fists behind him. He thought of a strategy that would not only protect Sima Ping's future, but also... it could also help his three children's future.
Thinking of this, Sima Yan lifted his robe and walked down to the higher level.
Chunzhi brought Bai Qingyan a snack and said softly to Bai Qingyan: "Does the eldest girl still go to her wife to see the little prince and the little princess? I just heard that Mrs. Dong has also entered the palace today."
Bai Qingyan, who had been delayed by Sima Yan for so long, wanted to continue to review the memorials, heard that his grandmother had arrived, so he got up and went to his mother's place.
Cining Palace.
After entering the palace, Mrs. Dong took off her imperial uniform and changed into a regular uniform prepared by Mrs. Dong, saying that she was afraid that the child would be uncomfortable when she hugged her child, but in fact, it was to make Mrs. Dong feel more comfortable.
Mrs. Dong took turns to hold two children and refused to let go. The more I looked at them, the more I liked them: "I went to the palace to see the two children every now and then, but I still couldn't see them enough! This child was even more important than Changlan's child.
I'm so thin, I'm worried! Now... the two children are getting stronger and stronger as they grow!"
What do you love for the two children? She thought about it when she didn't see each other for a day, but after all, the old lady Dong still cared about the rules in the palace. Even if her daughter and granddaughter said there was no need to be a taboo, she was afraid that she would say it outside.
Their relatives entered the palace all day long, and the Dong family was suspected of becoming an adulterer.
So Dong sent someone to pick up Mrs. Dong every now and then, saying that she missed her mother.
