The door didn't stay closed for long, and it was let in after a while.
This time, Yu Wenhao was honest and thought calmly outside the door. He felt that the only reason why she was angry was that she met Chu Mingcui alone.
He honestly promised, "I will never meet her alone in the future."
Yuan Qingling looked at him, "I'm really not jealous this time, nor am I angry that you didn't tell me the truth completely, but I feel that you are not defensive enough. Even if you don't feel that way about her anymore, you have grown up together."
Da, there is still some affection. How easy would it be for her to use this affection to frame you and falsely accuse you? Have you forgotten the lesson of the Princess Mansion? "
Yuan Qing Ling carefully used herself as a negative teaching material to teach him a lesson, which was really well-intentioned.
Yu Wenhao was very moved, and at the same time he felt that she was a bit shameless.
She still has the nerve to bring up the matter at the Princess Mansion in a serious manner?
However, he didn't dare to say this, he just wanted to be taught.
He had actually thought about this at the time. Although there were people outside, except for Xu Yi, they were all hers. If she had done something at that time, he would probably have been ruined.
And it was definitely not impossible for her to do it. Xu was confused by her own words at that time.
He obediently peeled off her clothes one by one, "The princess is right, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future. Now you lie down first, yes, that's it, don't move..."
Yuan Qingling clapped his hand angrily, "Can you stop thinking about those things for a moment?"
"Which ones?" His hands were busy, his lips were busy, and she was very noisy.
"Uh-huh..." Her lips were blocked, and she could only open her eyes and complain silently.
After a love action scene, the two fell asleep hugging each other.
The next day, the couple set off for each other. Yuan Qingling went to Huai Wang's house, and Yu Wenhao returned to the Yamen, packed his things and went to the palace to report.
Concubine Lu was still in Prince Huai's Mansion. She was shocked when she heard that Prince Qi had been assassinated last night. She thought that since the princes had been assassinated several times in a row, someone must be brewing a particularly big conspiracy. She was worried that after her son recovered from his illness,
They will also suffer this disaster.
Therefore, he chased Yuan Qingling and asked her to ask Yu Wenhao whether Jingzhao Mansion had caught the murderer.
Yu Wenhao entered the palace and reported to Emperor Ming Yuan about the city gate and the assassination of King Qi.
The incident at the city gate was attributed to Chu Mingcui's lack of preparation and the delay, which caused the accident.
As for the assassination, there is no real evidence to prove that it was Chu Mingcui who did it, but Yu Wenhao gave his analysis.
After hearing this, Emperor Ming Yuan was silent for a moment, and then spoke slowly, "For the injured at the city gate, go and withdraw a sum of money from the Ministry of Household Affairs, which will be used specifically for their treatment, nutrition, and short-term living arrangements. As for the assassin,
Continue the investigation, your speculation cannot be used as evidence."
Yu Wenhao knew that the assassin matter would be like this, but how to deal with the city gate matter? How to explain it?
"Father, the city gate incident has hurt so many people, so we must give them an explanation. Father thinks..." Yu Wenhao looked at Emperor Ming Yuan, waiting for him to speak.
In fact, there is no need to punish her. After all, Chu Mingcui's "intentions" are good. As long as she is scolded and told that she is not doing things well and improperly, and then asks her to provide some money to accommodate the injured, this can calm the situation.
A storm.
Emperor Ming Yuan thought for a moment and said, "What was the name of the guard at the city gate that day?"
"Yuan Jie!" Yu Wenhao had learned about the situation with him and knew his name. He was able to control the scene so quickly. He took great credit and his father should praise him.
Emperor Ming Yuan said calmly: "Well, let's hold him responsible for his inability to maintain the situation and delay in rescue, and suspend him for investigation."
Yu Wenhao looked at Emperor Ming Yuan in shock, "Father, Yuan Jie has made great contributions!"
"Then who is guilty?" Emperor Ming Yuan looked at him displeased.
Yu Wenhao was speechless. Who was guilty in this matter? Didn't he tell them all?
"Just do what I want." Yu Wenhao rubbed his brows, "Go ahead."
Yu Wenhao shook his head, "No, father and son cannot deal with meritorious people."
Emperor Ming Yuan said angrily: "Are you going to resist the decree and disobey it?"
"Father," Yu Wenhao stepped forward and begged sincerely, "Yuan Jie has indeed made meritorious service. If he were to punish a minister who has made meritorious service, it would chill the hearts of thousands of ministers."
Emperor Ming Yuan stared at him with sullen eyes, "If you can't handle this matter, there are plenty of people who can. You can figure it out yourself and get out!"
Yu Wenhao wanted to say something more, but Eunuch Mu Ru had already stepped forward and said: "I will send you to the prince."
Eunuch Mu Ru winked at him and signaled him to stop talking.
Yu Wenhao felt depressed for a moment. Knowing his father's temper, contradicting him now might not be able to win a fair result for Yuan Jie.
He bowed his hands and resigned, "My son, I retire."
Eunuch Mu Ru sent him out, and when he got outside the door, Eunuch Mu Ru said softly: "Before dawn today, Prince Qi's Mansion sent someone to the palace to report that Princess Qi was pregnant."
Yu Wenhao's eyes were calm, "I know, thank you father-in-law for letting me know!"
Eunuch Mu Ru sighed softly, "Go ahead, Your Majesty. Yuan Jie has been wronged for the time being, and the Emperor knows it. He will definitely make compensation in the future when the matter subsides."
Yu Wenhao only sneered in his heart, saying that he would make up for it in the future, but this sentence of slow rescue would hurt the general's heart.
He did not return to the Yamen. He had not thought about how to explain this matter to the Yamen people.
The scene that day was seen by many officers and soldiers in Jingzhao Mansion. Yuan Jie really tried his best. If Yuan Jie was convicted, everyone in Jingzhao Mansion would find it incredible.
He didn't return to the palace either. Yuan Qingling would probably be more excited than him.
Feeling melancholy for a while, I went to the Imperial College to find some advice.
Jingjingyan was dressed in white clothes, fluttering like a banished immortal, with a face as gentle as jade, and listened to him tell the whole story without any emotion.
He put down the tea table and said: "Now that the princes have no children, the position of the crown prince has not yet been decided. Now that Princess Qi is pregnant, the emperor's heart is probably tilted. If he wants to make Prince Qi the crown prince, Princess Qi cannot have a son."
You should understand the stain."
Yu Wenhao said irritably: "I understand, but even if Princess Qi is not punished, Yuan Jie should not be held accountable."
"There must be someone who takes responsibility for this matter. Yuan Jie is the city gate guard, so it is most appropriate for him to take responsibility for this matter." Calmly said.
Yu Wenhao couldn't calm down, "I have no way to deal with Yuan Jie."
He himself was a military commander, and he knew how difficult it was for a military general to get ahead. If there was no war in the country, some military generals might end up in their current position for the rest of their lives.
But once there is a war in the country, they have to pay the price of their lives in exchange for the opportunity to be promoted. However, how many soldiers' souls have to wait until death to get a posthumous title.
That day, so many people were present. They all saw with their own eyes that Yuan Jie tried his best to save people, and they couldn't be fooled.
How big of a joke would it be once he was convicted?
"You are always resourceful and resourceful, please give me some advice." Yu Wenhao got angry when he saw Jingjingyan acting like he was ignoring the matter.
Jing Jingyan took a sip of tea and said calmly: "There are no ways, but they are a bit biased. It just depends on whether you dare."
Yu Wenhao slapped the table, "Why don't you dare? Say it quickly!"
