"Yes." Jiang Huaizhou pointed his hand to the carriage next to him, "My foster father sent people to interfere with the relief grain and water sources in Nanguo, Huainan. A large number of people in Nanguo were poisoned, including the elderly and children. The people all said that your Majesty wanted to
Except for the untouchables, your reputation was seriously damaged for a while."
"Brother, tell me more details quickly!" Wen Jin was extremely concerned.
"My adoptive father pretended to bring doctors to treat the people's illnesses, and to win over people's hearts, the people of Huainan turned to his adoptive father. Everyone in the world was scolding the emperor for being an unprincipled and ignorant emperor! I heard that the emperor was so angry that he summoned his ministers to discuss politics in the imperial study room for a day to discuss countermeasures!
I'm afraid Fu and Wen are about to start a war. I asked for some information through my connections, and all I heard is that we need to get rid of the spies in public to calm the public's anger, expose the actions of our adoptive father, and restore your honor to the emperor!"
"How could my foster father do such a thing that hurts the people!" Wen Jin couldn't help but be frightened. "How could he poison the people, frame the emperor falsely, and ruin the reputation of the emperor? It can be seen that the emperor cares most about the livelihood of the people.
He was so hurt when the people he cherished scolded him for being ignorant and ignorant! Your greatest concern is to be a good and competent emperor. Your adoptive father will destroy you!"
"Get in the carriage first. I will take you out of here." Jiang Huaizhou said warmly, "Most of the spies discussed in the imperial study are you. You are the only one who is sending letters to your adoptive father! Jin'er, your identity has been completely exposed!"
Wen Jin immediately got on Jiang Huaizhou's carriage without thinking carefully. The horse galloped all the way out of the city. She was sweating all over because of the anxiety in her heart. It seemed that she couldn't hide it anymore.
The fact that he has been writing letters to his adoptive father.
"Brother, I can't escape. My younger brothers, sisters, and grandmother are all in the Xue Mansion. I can't escape with my family." Wen Jin said solemnly: "I want to go back to the palace. Your Majesty made an appointment with me in the imperial study room during the Youshi period.
Holy shit. He wanted to accompany me to see Zhang Yuan to check the pulse. He didn’t want to get rid of me. If he wanted to get rid of me, why would he accompany me to check the pulse and check the baby’s condition.”
The second half of Wen Jin's sentence was not so much about comforting Jiang Huaizhou as it was about comforting herself. Thinking of Lao Mo's deeply worried expression, Wen Jin also realized that the master would not spare her lightly.
Jiang Huaizhou stopped the carriage and said, "Jin'er, brother, I don't trust you to return to the palace. The Military Aircraft Department, the Imperial Advisor, and the Holy Lady are all at your side. It seems that an escort vehicle has been prepared to take you to Huainan to be executed in public."
"Brother, I decided to go back to the palace to see you." Wen Jin sighed softly, "I... want to clarify something with you. I believe he will listen to my explanation."
"Jin'er, Your Majesty is in a rage right now. I'm afraid you will escape death if you go back." Jiang Huaizhou worriedly said, "The situation is very unfavorable for you!"
"Brother, is your adoptive father really asking doctors to treat people?"
"No. But using medicine hastily and indiscriminately does not really detoxify the people. My adoptive father intends to let the people slowly die from the poison. This will become a major mistake and stain on the king's governance! It will make the king completely lose the support of the people."
Wen Jin put her hand on her heart and said, "Before returning to the palace, brother, can you help Jin'er with something?"
"What's the matter?"
"Jin'er believes that the people are innocent, and the adoptive father should not use the lives of the people as political means to control the lord. I plan to go to the Wen Mansion to steal the antidote to the slow poison and present it to the king to relieve the suffering of the people." Wen Jin said in a deep voice,
"I am pregnant, and I am afraid that my movements will be inconvenient. If I accidentally steal the medicine, it will not work, but will harm the child in my belly. I want to ask my brother to help me cover up and lure away the guards outside the foster father's medicine pavilion. I
Go get the medicine again. If the matter is revealed, Jin'er will accept the punishment from her adoptive father alone so as not to cause any more trouble to her brother."
"Is it worth falling out with my adoptive father for the sake of your Majesty?" Jiang Huaizhou thought for a moment and then said warmly to Wen Jin: "Your Majesty has countless wives, concubines, and daughters. He only sees power and country, and anything and anyone that can help him reach the top.
He will make the most of everything he has, and he is about to get married. You are just an old person who has been abandoned by him. Are you willing to risk your pregnancy for him? "
"It's worth it. I can't let go of my seventeen-year friendship with my childhood sweethearts. As long as there is a place for him, I accept it." Wen Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly after saying, "You know, I was abandoned by my stepmother when I was a child.
, I was sold into a brothel by Yazi. Many people called me dirty. I didn’t dare to interact with others for a long time. In the cold palace, he and I were like two wanderers abandoned by the world. He didn’t mind that I had done it in a brothel.
Kucha, he said I was the cleanest girl in the world. I can never let go of that memory."
"Well." Jiang Huaizhou nodded, "Since my sister has made up her mind, I will help you. My brother also thinks that my adoptive father's behavior is inappropriate. The people are really innocent. In this way, my adoptive father's Tibetan Medicine Pavilion is not on guard against my brother.
Just go get the medicine. Even if the matter is exposed, Brother Wei will take care of it. Early tomorrow morning, Brother Wei will send the antidote to Xue Mansion for you."
Wen Jin was deeply moved, "Brother, why are you helping me like this?"
"Same as you. As a brother, I can't let go of my childhood sweetheart of the past seventeen years. We grew up together, and I am used to caring about you and loving you." Jiang Huaizhou stared at Wen Jin with warm eyes, "Even if you are a piece of cake,
Shitou, I didn’t respond at all to Brother Wei, but Brother Wei also recognized me. The one who thinks you are the cleanest girl is not the only one who thinks you are the king."
Wen Jin's eyes couldn't help but become moist. She looked at Jiang Huaizhou's gentle face and was slightly absent-minded. Every time she needed help, her brother would appear immediately, "Thank you, brother."
After bidding farewell to Jiang Huaizhou on Wangfu Temple Street in the middle of the afternoon, Wen Jin returned to the palace.
The sun began to set in the west.
There is still more than half an hour before Youshi.
Wen Jin remembered that Jiang Huaizhou mentioned that your Majesty was discussing political affairs in the imperial study room one day, and that he might not have eaten all day, so Wen Jin went to the small kitchen of Long Bedroom, put some flour in the basin, and mixed it with the dough to make some wontons.
She spent most of the time making wontons, and she was pressed for time. After she was done, she was already quite embarrassed, and there was a lot of flour on her hands, cheeks, and hair.
"Master Jin, the Youshi hour has arrived. Come with us to the imperial study room." Mo Gan arrived outside the kitchen door at some unknown time.
Wen Jin put the wontons in a food box and followed Lao Mo to the imperial study.
Outside the door of the imperial study room stood two rows of imperial soldiers, wearing long swords. They were the officers and soldiers who usually escorted serious criminals to the execution ground.
Wen Jin's back shrank a little, and she tightened her hand on the handle of the food box.
Mo Gan said softly outside the imperial study room: "Your Majesty, Lord Jin has arrived outside the study room."
"Let her come in." Fu Jingheng's cold voice sounded in the study.
Wen Jin took a breath and walked up the imperial stairs. She had not been in this imperial study room for more than four months, and she felt inexplicably nervous.
Mo Gan opened the door and said, "Master Jin, come in."
Wen Jin walked into the study and looked around. Zi Shu, Liu Yingfu, the saint Duanmu Fu and his father Duanmu, the old imperial master, were all waiting on both sides.
After the Dragon Case, the dignified and aloof man sat on the dragon chair, his eyes locked on Wen Jin with complicated eyes, as sharp as an eagle, as if he wanted to see through Wen Jin.
"See you, Your Majesty." Wen Jin felt slightly blessed.
"I respectfully welcome Miss Wen."
"...The common people don't dare."
"Didn't you escape with Jiang Huaizhou?" Fu Jingcheng sneered, "My people said that you fled from the imperial city to the suburbs, and then circled back through Wangfu Temple Street. What clever tricks did you two think of to deal with me?"
