Cheng Xue guessed that there was something wrong with Mrs. Gu's sudden visit, but was it too brazen to be so blatant?!
In any case, she is also the temporary wife of the Minister of Household Affairs. Although the title has not yet been issued, it is a certainty.
"Let everyone in the house be more vigilant recently and don't let anyone take advantage of this loophole."
"yes."
Bai Wei turned around and went out to make arrangements, while Cheng Xue was deep in thought in the room.
If she guessed correctly, it must be Li Hui's recent actions that touched someone's cake. The other party was desperate, so he took the risk. Then Mr. Gu's illness...well, it should be a cover to lure her out.
That night, Li Hui came back and heard the news, and he was immediately angry.
He was about to enter the palace angrily, but Cheng Xue hugged him from behind and comforted him softly:
"Don't panic, I didn't go, and I asked Bai Wei to remind the servants in the house to make them more alert recently. Do you want to call Tangtang and his wife back to stay for a few days? I'm afraid that something will happen to her there.
"
"Okay, I will ask Dexi to go over and inform you now, and I will ask him to come back directly after the court tomorrow."
"Don't be angry. It's better to question him now than to question him in front of him tomorrow and see how he explains."
Li Hui said "hmm" as a sign of agreement, patted the back of her hand, stood up and went out. When he came back after giving instructions, the kang quilt had already been put away.
"You have to work harder recently. There are some problems with things in the Royal Garden, so I have to be busy there recently. But no matter how late I am, I will be back. You don't have to wait for me. Just go to bed when you feel sleepy."
Cheng Xue nodded quietly, blew out the candle, and took the initiative to lie in his arms.
"Don't worry, the other village doesn't need me anymore. I'll just stay at home and rub pills every day."
"Okay, after this matter is completely over, I will take a few days off to take you out for a walk."
"Don't worry, let's finish the martial arts test first and then talk about it."
Regarding this martial arts test, it was ostensibly planned by Wen Tian and the eldest prince, but in fact it was completely led by Li Hui. He incorporated the modern A-class brigade selection method. The first three days of the test were spent in the hunting area of the royal garden, and the team survived.
, elimination mechanism, but you can prepare your own food.
Just for this "self-esteem food", she was really busy during the day, making a lot of pills, and making a lot of dried meat, candied fruits, etc.
The two chatted in the dark, and soon Cheng Xue fell asleep.
Li Hui heard Cheng Xue's even breathing, kissed her forehead, and closed his eyes.
In the imperial court, Li Hui had a dark face the whole time. He would glare at Gu Huai from time to time, and then quietly wait for the words "If you have a foundation, you will start early, but if you don't have a foundation, you will retreat." Anyone with long eyes noticed his state today.
No, but it was very targeted, so everyone except Gu Huai silently waited to watch the show.
Although this temporary minister of household affairs is really annoying sometimes, when he fights with the imperial officials, it is really a cool scene. Under the banner of "rural rough guy", he always makes people speechless.
.
finally--
"The Emperor has a decree, and if he has the foundation, he will give it early. If he has no foundation, he will withdraw from the court."
The Minister of Rites was waiting for these words and was going to talk about what happened in the royal garden yesterday.
Unexpectedly, just when I was about to take action, I felt a gust of wind blowing, and then——
"Your Majesty, please make the decision for Wei Chen. Yesterday, the wife of Mr. Gu Huai, the Minister of Punishment, came to Wei Chen's house and asked his wife to go to the Gu Mansion to treat her father-in-law. Wei Chen would like to ask Your Majesty, if the officials in the capital are sick, they do not go to the imperial doctor. They must go to the wife of their colleagues.
See a doctor? What’s the point?
It is true that our husband and wife are from rural families, but we also understand that there are differences between men and women. The Gu family humiliates us and our husband in this way because we are from rural families, have no foundation, and are easy to bully, right? Your Majesty, the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital are just decorations.
Is it right for my wife to go to Gu’s house to see a doctor?”
Although these words seemed to be directed at Yan Yunchen, they were actually directed at Gu Huai.
When he returned home last night and learned about the matter, he went to find his father-in-law. The two of them thought that Li Hui would not speak. After all, the matter of the royal garden was imminent. He always took the overall situation into consideration, and the matter would definitely not be brought to the surface. Who would have
They thought they had underestimated Li Hui, and they not only brought it to light, but also questioned him in front of the court.
The relationship between Yan Mu and Li Hui was not mentioned. Hearing this, he deliberately took a breath and said:
"Master Gu, what does your wife mean by this? According to the laws of our court, when an elder in the family of an official of the fourth rank of the court is sick, he can hand over a sign and ask for an imperial doctor. Even if you don't want to trouble the imperial doctor, the doctor of Miaorentang is very popular in the capital.
If you are famous, why would you go to Mrs. Li to live in your house?"
Gu Huai's face was red now and he had to walk out of the team, lifted his robe and knelt down and said:
"Back to your Majesty, back to the Third Prince. Yesterday, my father suddenly fell ill. My wife remembered that she had heard Mrs. Zhou say that Mrs. Li was very good at medicine. So in addition to inviting the imperial doctor, she also hurriedly went to the palace to invite Mrs. Li. However, Mrs. Li
Didn't come."
"It's my intention to take care of you. If my wife doesn't go, I won't give your Gu family face!"
"I...I didn't mean that!" Gu Huai was confused. Where to start?
"Then what did you mean just now? What do you mean 'Mrs. Li didn't come'? Should she go?"
After Li Hui finished speaking, he gasped and stared, as if he was wronged.
If Gu Huai doesn't understand this, all these years of officialdom will be in vain.
He turned around, saluted him solemnly, and bowed deeply:
"I also ask Mr. Li to be magnanimous and forgive my wife's emergency medical treatment yesterday. She is just filial, but she just used the wrong method."
"You used the wrong method and my wife was humiliated. Why?"
Li Hui knelt down and faced him with a cry in his voice, his grievance mixed with stubbornness.
"I don't have to care about anything, but I must care about my wife..."
"Master Li, please be careful. You are now an official of the imperial court. If you are such a loving son and daughter, you are worthy of a heavy responsibility." Master Yin, the censor, seized the words and directly held him to account.
He was promoted by Su Zhen single-handedly. If you can help at this time, you must help.
Li Hui glanced at him sideways, gave a cold "hum" and asked:
"According to the meaning of Lord Yin's words, when you become a court official, you have to give up all your emotions and desires, get a wife, and have no children? Then I ask Lord Yin, can you do it?"
"You - ridiculous! What I mean is that such petty remarks should not be made in court."
"Then where should I tell you? Jingzhao Mansion Office? You are really considerate of Mr. Bai!"
Yin Yanguan looked at Zhou Fang's father-in-law in shock, never thinking——
"Master Yin, Li, and Gu's family affairs should be decided by the Lord. I have never encountered such a situation. My father is sick and I have to seek treatment from my colleague's wife. It would be okay for my mother. It makes sense for Master Yin not to pursue Gu.
The government acted recklessly, but instead blamed Mr. Li for the love between his children.
As far as I know, Mr. Li's wife is the child bride of their family. The friendship between the two since childhood is not comparable to that of ordinary people. I think he should be rewarded for his behavior of protecting his wife, rather than held accountable here! You
