After the Lantern Festival, Ye Baiqing's admiration for Xiao Chen was like the water of the Yellow River, and it overflowed beyond control.
If the imperial concubine is Xiao Chen's little fangirl, then Ye Baiqing is now Xiao Chen's little fanboy!
Brother Xiao was yelling at each other to be affectionate, and then gnashing his teeth to force him to death, which made Xiao Chen very passive and could only accept him.
No matter how you say it, Ye Baiqing is also a talented person, at least there is no problem in being a copywriter or something in the West Factory.
Moreover, he is also the Hanlin appointed by Emperor Li Wanjiang. With his joining, Xichang's quality has been raised several levels...
Now that Xiao Chen goes in and out, he is always accompanied by several expert guards. The security has been greatly improved, and the pomp and circumstance has been enhanced, so when he walks, he feels a little wandering.
Of course, there may be other reasons, which are not enough for outsiders to understand, ahem.
Now he is looking forward to something happening in the palace, so that he can train the team well and improve everyone's ability to do things.
But he didn't expect that the first errand assigned to him by the Queen would be extremely difficult...
"What is this?" Xiao Chen came to say hello to Murong Danqiu that night, and by the way presented him with the second small invention he had just successfully developed after traveling through time.
It is also epoch-making.
"Hey, I saw that my queen was inconvenienced during her menstrual period, and I felt anxious. After thinking about it day and night, I came up with such a thing. Queen, can you try it out?"
That's right, Xiao Chen invented sanitary napkins, tampons and other women's products.
In order to please the queen, he would do anything!
But the effect is particularly good.
"What a shame, how did you come up with this?" After Murong Danqiu put it on, he really didn't feel too good!
"In the final analysis, it's just my slave's loyalty to my empress..." Xiao Chen apologized happily.
"Well, I also know that you are loyal to me, so I need your help with something." Every time Murong Danqiu is so polite to Xiao Chen, there must be something big going on!
So Xiao Chen immediately had a very bad premonition...
Listening attentively.
"You know that Chen Jisheng was arrested by the emperor, right?"
"Who?" Xiao Chen has been busy setting up the West Factory these days and making inventions in his spare time, so he doesn't pay much attention to the affairs of the court.
"Chen Jisheng, the censor of Zuodu, Mr. Chen, because he contradicted the emperor in person and made rude remarks, the emperor was furious and beat him with thirty imperial sticks in public and sent him to Jinyiwei Zhao Prison."
"Master Chen served as a guest in my house for several years. It was his professor who taught me my enlightenment. He was not only upright and talented, but also had the ability to stabilize the country. My father also valued him very much, so..."
"So what?" Xiao Chenxin said, you won't let me rescue him, dear?
"So, I want you to find a way to rescue him... at least save his life first." Murong Danqiu really meant this.
No, empress, are you kidding me?
The emperor personally imprisoned the officials in Jinyiweizhao Prison. Can any of them survive?
Besides, not even your queen can save him, I am a little eunuch...
I thank you for valuing me so much! But I can't do that.
"This..." He frowned, thinking about how to shirk it?
"Xiao Chen, I really don't want to embarrass you, but I think you can do this." Murong Danqiu took the rare initiative to hold Xiao Chen's hand.
The eyes she looked at him were gentler than ever before.
"You won't let me down, right?"
This... means it must be done!
Besides, how could I bear to disappoint you?
After returning to his new residence in Xichang Yamen, Xiao Chen frowned and sighed repeatedly.
Zhuge Xiaosheng and others quickly asked, why do you sigh?
In front of his confidants, Xiao Chen didn't have to hide anything and told everyone about this impossible task assigned by the Queen.
"Difficult!" Ye Baiqing frowned, "I heard that he not only contradicted the emperor in person, but also said a lot of treacherous words...I heard that the Prince of the East Palace was involved, so the emperor was so angry."
"Oh? What did he say about the prince?" Xiao Chenxin asked, why is it related to the prince?
"He impeached the prince for his misbehavior, going in and out of brothels, living a luxurious life, and obstructing the eyes and ears... That's all. He also said that the prince had friends with the ministers of the court and the frontier generals, and also had a group of followers in the East Palace who were like chickens, dogs, and thieves. He had evil intentions.
sign!"
"This old man really wants to die?" Xiao Chen grinned after hearing this.
It turns out that it was not Li Wanjiang who wanted to kill him, but him who was seeking death himself!
"So he must die! If the emperor forgives his sin, wouldn't that mean the prince is convicted?" Ye Baiqing said rightly.
"This matter is difficult to say, but it is not impossible." Zhuge Xiaosheng, who had been silent all the time, suddenly said.
"Oh? Hurry up and tell me how to do it?" Xiao Chen was overjoyed.
"I think the emperor is in a dilemma right now. He definitely doesn't want to kill Chen Jisheng. After all, Chen Jisheng is known to the world for being an upright official, and the emperor doesn't want to be known as the one who kills upright officials."
"In addition, the things about Chen Jisheng's impeachment of the crown prince are probably 70% true. The emperor may still be hesitant and hesitant about it now."
"You mean the emperor is suspicious of the prince?" Ye Baiqing heard the implication of Zhuge Xiaosheng's words.
"At least, I don't completely trust him. Let's not talk about him at the moment. I just say that Chen Jisheng is not actually a capital offender, because he is the censor of Zuodu and can be heard about things. This alone is enough to absolve him."
"The problem now is that none of the ministers in the court came out to speak for him. Even if the emperor doesn't want to kill him, he still needs a reason, right?"
"You mean to ask me to go before the emperor to intercede for him?" Xiao Chen frowned, "I'm afraid that won't work. I'm a eunuch and I can't arbitrarily discuss government affairs."
"Brother Xiao, of course you can't do it, but you can find someone else. As long as you explain this truth clearly, smart people will naturally understand it." Zhuge Xiaosheng said with a smile.
"Well... do you think it would be okay to talk to Zhu Xiaochuan?" Xiao Chen thought of this person first. Speaking of important ministers in the court, he was the only one who had a little bit of friendship with him.
"You kid, don't do this to me! I don't think it's enough for him to do this alone. We need to find someone with weight... How about Wang Anbang?" Once Xiao Chen smoothed out his thoughts, he suddenly became enlightened.
"Brother Xiao, you are really wise!" Zhuge Xiaosheng clapped his hands and praised him.
As we all know, Wang Anbang and Chen Jisheng are mortal enemies, and he is also a favorite of Li Wanjiang. If he comes forward to intercede, it will carry a lot of weight.
As for how to convince this person?
But Xiao Chen also knew it well, as long as he did what he liked.
What does Mr. Wang Anbang like most? Money!
As long as he is given enough money, this person can do anything!
And he is also a smart man.
Xiao Chen felt that he could take this opportunity to get to know him and become a good friend with him...
