The emperor was heartbroken. The second prince came to plead for mercy last night and knelt outside the imperial study. He felt that everyone should have received the news.
If you ask again at this time, isn't it just pretending to be confused because you understand?
"Your Majesty, this case has not been thoroughly investigated. Even if there is indeed a spy, is it definitely the second prince who did it? He is the prince!"
E Chongming sighed, still a little unbelievable.
"Your Majesty, there is conclusive evidence that the second prince had an affair." The one who spoke was the Marquis of Lin'an. He was a party member of the third prince. If we don't add insult to injury right now, how long will it take?
The court was discussing, and Su Yizhao outside the palace looked at the red wall in front of him and couldn't help but lament this evil pyramid society.
He was motionless and didn't know how long he would have to stand.
Only he and a few guards were left in this huge venue, which was so empty.
I don't know how long it took, but Su Yizhao felt that he was about to fall asleep, and then he heard the sound of singing from above the Danbi.
"Su Yizhao, compiled by the Xuanhanlin Academy, goes to court to see you!"
Su Yizhao was so excited that the sleepy man immediately ran away.
What followed was a chant, and then officials from the Ministry of Etiquette came forward to lead her into the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
This is the second time she has entered the palace. The first time she came was when the emperor appointed the number one scholar.
"Your Majesty Su Yizhao respectfully wishes His Majesty's blessing!"
E Chongming turned around and looked at Su Yizhao. He was a little dazed. When did Su Yizhao, who was from the sixth grade, be able to go to court?
"This matter has been described in detail by Su Xiuzhan for everyone. I previously ordered Su Xiuzhan to take the lead, and Kang Siqing as the assistant, to jointly supervise the case. Now that the case has been concluded, let Su Xiuzhan explain the details of the case to everyone in detail.
Describe.”
Living in the capital, Su Wenqing put down the folding fan in his hand, and then looked out the window at the city.
"Master, this matter has finally happened again."
A woman's charming voice sounded behind him, and he turned around to see that it was Yue Ju's red card Chun Liao.
"He's not suspicious, is he?"
Chun Ling shook his head, "No, he also thanked us for helping him. If we hadn't used a fake Xierlin to remind him, there was no way he would have been discovered this time."
Su Wenqing snorted coldly, "Help him? He is right to think so. There is still some use in keeping him, otherwise he would have been thrown to Xiao Qi long ago."
When Chun Ling heard this, he immediately said happily: "Seventh Young Master is really smart. As long as we use a little force from behind, we can use his strength to gain strength."
"You and the Seventh Young Master and your son are like a perfect pair of swordsmen. They work together perfectly. He is the only one who can catch your moves."
Chun Ling sighed deeply in his heart, "With him here, you can feel more relaxed."
Su Wenqing was a little stunned. In fact, Su Yizhao did not look like her parents, but looked very much like the Duke of Zhen Guo back then.
Being brave and resourceful means placing too much emphasis on friendship.
"Young Master Seventh is so much like you. Why don't you tell Young Master Seventh the truth and let him help you? In this way, he will be in the light and you will be in the dark, so there will be a better understanding."
As soon as Chun Ling finished speaking, Su Wenqing turned to look at her, but his eyes were so terrifyingly cold that Chun Ling was immediately frightened into silence.
"Master, Master, Chun Liao just wants you to work less."
"This is not something you should interfere with. Remember your duty. If Xiao Qi knows my plan, I will not show mercy." Su Wenqing said solemnly.
Chun Ling nodded repeatedly, "I don't dare!"
Su Wenqing snorted coldly, and when she turned to look outside Fangshi, her eyes became much softer.
Aren’t the children I raise just like me? How great would it be if Su Yizhao really was my child?
"There has been chaos in the city these days. I have asked people to be careful in their words and deeds. The old lady has ordered that our house should be closed to guests for a few days."
The eldest wife, Mrs. Liang, gave instructions to her servants. Today, there seems to be a trend in the court. Many women from the back house came to visit the female relatives at home, but they did not submit the notice in advance, and their attitude was very anxious and uneasy.
As soon as he came to visit, he said he wanted to visit the old lady, but his father-in-law had given instructions and said that he was not allowed to see visitors, so he reasoned that the old lady was unwell and could not see visitors.
Those people simply said it bluntly, saying that they wanted to visit the fourth wife, and she asked the concierge to go back to the fourth wife's family to go back to her parents' house. Those people didn't believe it, and they struggled with the concierge for a long time, and finally they dropped the gift and left.
"Madam, what should I do with those gifts? I went to see them just now. They are all lavish gifts. The pearl is as big as a baby's fist. And the jewelry and jades are all precious things."
Mother Gu has a headache for her wife. This is not even a house for her, it is cheaper than four houses.
Ms. Liang is not stupid. In the past two days, members of the third family have whispered in front of her, saying that Xiao Qi was working on some case, and even the old man took it very seriously.
How could she not know? It must be the emperor's will.
Last night, Xiao Qi didn't come back to the house. The old man ordered the people in the house to keep silent. Judging from the attitude of the men in the house, Xiao Qi was doing something big.
Sure enough, someone went to inquire about the news this morning and it was said that the second prince was arrested last night. How big of a deal must this be?
The fourth child's family is very lucky after all. They do not enjoy the blessing of a husband, but they enjoy the blessing of a son.
It's just a pity that it didn't crawl out of her belly.
"Place all the gifts according to the gift list, do not mix them up, and put them in a corner of the warehouse to be disposed of when the old master or the seventh young master returns home."
Now, Xiao Qi can be regarded as half of this family.
When she thought about the fact that the old man had revealed that he would find a way to move him back to the capital once the three-year term was up, and that he would have the opportunity to be promoted to a higher level, she no longer had the same attitude towards Su Yizhao as before.
"Madam! Come on, someone is coming to the front yard." A woman hurried in to report.
Mrs. Liang frowned and said, "Didn't you say you won't see guests behind closed doors?"
"Madam, someone from the palace came to announce the decree."
When Mrs. Liang heard this, she slapped her thigh fiercely, "Ouch! Why are you still breathing heavily when you talk?"
"Quick! Set up the incense table and inform the old lady."
Mr. Liang was experienced in receiving imperial orders, but when the imperial edict came at this time, he didn't know what it was about.
The old lady was supported by someone and walked into the front yard with small steps.
At this time, Mrs. Liang was already smiling and chatting and laughing with the chamberlain who came from the palace. Mrs. Tang was also there, and the servant sometimes seemed to be flattering towards Mrs. Tang.
"The fourth wife is so lucky. Mr. Su thoroughly investigated the case and made great contributions to the country. The emperor hereby commends you. There will be a big surprise later!"
"The old lady is here!" the servant reported, and Mrs. Liang and Mrs. Tang hurriedly greeted her.
As the old lady got closer, she realized she was an acquaintance.
"Hey! Isn't this General Manager Xu from the palace? We haven't seen each other for many years."
The old lady was very surprised. Xu Luo was the emperor's steward, why did he come in person?
"Look at what you said, you don't have our family in your heart. Then the year before last, Mr. Su was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Etiquette. Wasn't it the purpose of our family to announce it?"
The old lady immediately slapped her forehead and said, "Oh! You see, I am so old and confused. I have even forgotten this."
"The old lady must be happy when she sees us, but won't she be so happy that she forgets about us?" Xu Luo laughed.
The old lady knew in her heart that this was a good thing. She didn't know what the good thing was, but she actually came to announce the decree in person. Could it be that her master had been promoted again?
