Outside the palace gate, Qi Yue's carriage and Chang Yuncheng's horse were waiting quietly not far away.
Mrs. Chen had been persuaded to go back last night, and Aru and Ahao came over instead. When she saw them coming out, she hurriedly ran over from the carriage.
"Are you scared?" Qi Yue asked, looking at the two people surrounding him from left to right.
"No, Mrs. Chen said, you must be fine." Ah Hao said, and then quickly added, "But we are still worried."
Qi Yue smiled and touched her face which was wet by the cold air.
"Want to take a car?" Chang Yuncheng asked.
Qi Yue looked ahead, seeing that there were almost no pedestrians on the imperial street, and the morning fog slowly dissipated, making it appear peaceful and fresh.
"Let's go for a walk," she said.
Chang Yuncheng nodded and took the first step, Qi Yue followed beside him, Aru Ahao and Chang Yuncheng's servant were a few steps behind.
"Since when have you been planning to do this?" Qi Yue asked.
"Let's get started." Chang Yuncheng said, turning around and seeing Qi Yue staring, he couldn't help but smile and reached out to touch her face.
This is imitating her actions.
Qi Yue snorted and turned her head.
"I don't know what it is yet, so I don't want to tell you to avoid you thinking too much." Chang Yuncheng said, "I said, you can do whatever you want, and I will take care of the rest."
Qi Yue snorted again.
Chang Yuncheng smiled and reached out to pinch her face again.
Qi Yue raised her hand to hit his hand, but Chang Yuncheng grabbed her hand and struggled a few times before she could get away.
"I didn't expect them to do it so well and in such a timely manner," Chang Yuncheng continued.
Qi Yue struggled twice and then let him hold her hand.
"I didn't expect it either." She whispered, "I didn't expect these people to be so kind to me. It seems that as long as you are willing to do things, there will be results."
Chang Yuncheng said nothing, just held her hand tightly.
The two walked slowly along the street.
The hot bamboo shoots and pork noodles are filled with white mist and the aroma is overflowing.
"It's hot, slow down." Chang Yuncheng said, looking at Qi Yue opposite who was hurriedly taking down his chopsticks.
Qi Yue said twice, and still picked up a big mouthful to eat, giving a thumbs up while eating.
"It's delicious," she said vaguely.
Chang Yuncheng was amused by her and handed her a side full of mohu cakes.
"Try this," he said.
Qi Yue was busy eating the noodles, leaning forward slightly to take a bite from his hand.
"Yeah." She nodded vaguely again.
"Are you so hungry?" Chang Yuncheng said with a smile, breaking the biscuits into small pieces.
"I haven't had a good meal since I came to Beijing." Qi Yue said, opening her mouth again to bite the small piece of biscuit he handed over, chewing it hard.
"Can you eat it now?" Chang Yuncheng asked with a smile.
Qi Yue snorted.
"Is your pancake too big?" she said with a frown.
Chang Yuncheng looked down at the pancake in his hand.
"Huh? Is it too big?" He looked puzzled and smiled, "I used to feed little Heizi this size..."
Qi Yue was stunned for a moment.
"Ah!" She reacted, dropped her chopsticks and reached out to grab Chang Yuncheng's arm, "Would your little black guy do this to you again?"
She bared her teeth and tried to bite Chang Yuncheng's arm.
Laughter spread under the arbor on the street.
This laughter made Ah Ru and Ah Hao, who were sitting next to them, look at each other and smile. They both lowered their heads and took a sip of noodles, filling their mouths with soup.
But at this time, many people, contrary to them, cannot eat.
"My lord, my lord, this is terrible. I don't know what was sent, but it actually made Zhou Maochun arrogant again!" Dong Lin said with red eyes.
Yesterday, many people paid attention to Zhou Maochun's incident, and with Zhou Maochun making such a fuss and rushing to jail, almost everyone knows about such a major event by now.
All the focus fell on the box of memorials.
what exactly is it?
I originally thought it was sent by Bing Beidao, but when I found out that Bing Beidao didn't know about it at all, it turned out to be Chang Yuncheng who sent it in privately.
"According to reports from the palace, His Majesty watched it all night." Dong Lin said in a low voice.
This news cost him a lot of money. As for what the memorial was, no matter how much money he spent, he wouldn't be able to find out.
Cai Yiling's face didn't look very good either. It was obvious that what happened this time was indeed unexpected.
"Could it be that he got everyone's information? That Prince Dingxi has some shady tricks behind his back?" He murmured.
This is extremely possible.
Dong Lin also looked gloomy.
"Then what should we do now?" he asked, "It seems that Zhou Maochun can escape this time."
I’m really unwilling!
Such a great opportunity! It can be said that the right time, right place, right people, and the right people were not able to crush them to death.
"Not necessarily." Cai Yiling snapped a pen in his hand, "Isn't Zhou Maochun still seeking death? Let him make a fuss and spread the word. The bigger the fuss becomes and the wider the spread, the more it will be
It makes His Majesty lose face."
Dong Lin's eyes lit up and he nodded.
Anyone in this world who dares to make the emperor lose face will really not end well.
They were not the only ones to think of this idea. After a simple bowl of noodles, Qi Yue and Chang Yunzheng hurriedly rushed to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
When we arrived at the prison, all the officials in the prison were pulling their hair out with worry.
"Is this a cell? Is it okay for prisoners to live like this?" Zhou Maochun scolded in the cell again, "Don't be afraid, old man, I can't stand this pain. I am also a person who came back from Mobei in a prison car..."
You came back in a prison car, but the prison car you always made was more comfortable than a horse-drawn carriage...
The officials shook their heads and cheered.
"..Stop pretending to be a trap. Seriously, pull these things off for me. By the way, give me a set of torture tools you have here to try..."
The officials wiped away their sweat and wanted to cry but had no tears.
When you gods fight, we little devils will suffer, so what do you do to us?
Qi Yue was also a little bit dumbfounded.
"Father, stop making trouble, it's almost over. We are reasonable people and we won't fight lawsuits," she advised.
Zhou Maochun sat on the weeds he had just won, and happily took out one and chewed it in his mouth.
"Almost? It's too different!" he said with a sigh, pointing at himself, "This is the first time in my life that I, Zhou Maochun, have suffered such a crime. This matter will not end so easily."
What to suffer?
He sat comfortably in the prison car and enjoyed delicious food and drinks all the way. When he came back, he didn't even enter the prison door and was welcomed into his home to be worshiped as a deity. He turned over again before even being punished in front of the emperor.
Is this called suffering?
The officials on the side were on the verge of tears again.
"Now that our things have been handed over, His Majesty must have made a decision." Qi Yue squatted outside the cell door and said, "It's not good for you to be like this."
Zhou Maochun knew what she meant, smiled, and lay down on the hay.
"Okay, no, what's the matter?" He shook his head and shook his legs and said, "Yue Niang, just leave it alone. I have my own opinions as a father."
Qi Yue was helpless. At this time, Dr. An, who had heard the news, also came over. Qi Yue hurriedly asked Dr. An to persuade Zhou Maochun, but when Dr. An saw Zhou Maochun coming out, he persuaded them to leave.
"Don't worry, it'll be fine." He said.
"How can I rest assured!" Qi Yue said with a bitter smile, "What else do you want to do? Hiding it from me?"
Old Doctor An laughed.
"I really didn't hide it from you this time. It's because your adoptive father just can't bear to swallow it." He said with a smile.
"Sir, it's precisely because you can't swallow this breath that you can't do this." Qi Yue said anxiously.
Old Doctor An just laughed and shook his head.
"Just wait and see, your Majesty will make a decision after reading those things," he said.
I hope it's too late by then, and Qi Yue has no choice but to leave the prison with them.
Dr. An was in good spirits and took the initiative to invite them to have lunch together.
"I haven't been to Beijing for several years," he said, "I have become unrecognizable."
Chang Yuncheng stopped the carriage.
"Then the old man must recognize this Xichun Tower." He smiled.
Old Doctor An was helped out of the carriage by the waiter. He looked at the restaurant in front of him and let out a sigh of relief.
"The appearance hasn't changed, but I wonder if the taste of the food has changed?" he said.
"You will know if it has changed or not. You will know after you try it." Chang Yuncheng smiled and pushed his wheelchair himself.
Qi Yue followed, and as soon as he entered the door, he met a group of people coming out. The two sides met each other, and suddenly the group of people stopped.
"Hey, look who this is." A high-pitched voice shouted.
Chang Yuncheng and the three of them all looked over, and Old Doctor An's expression suddenly changed.
This was a group of young people, dressed luxuriously, but they looked at Old Doctor An with a very bad expression.
"Tsk, tsk, how dare you, an old white-haired man, to come to Beijing?" one of them shouted.
Enemy? Qi Yue frowned.
Old Doctor An lowered his head and said nothing.
Chang Yuncheng pushed his wheelchair forward.
"How dare you go to Beijing, you are such a nagging person!"
"Don't leave! Now that you're here, kneel down and kowtow to your grandfathers!"
Young people gathered around and shouted.
"It's just a convenience." Chang Yuncheng opened his mouth and said calmly, without saying anything extra.
"What are you..." A young man raised his eyebrows and was about to shout. Someone next to him pulled him, looked at Chang Yuncheng, and whispered something in his ear.
"He's from the Chang family." The young man said with a hint of surprise. He glanced at Chang Yuncheng again, and then spat at the old doctor An, "You're lucky, old boy!"
After he said that, he turned around and left.
The others also dispersed, but everyone still spat.
"Old guy, don't let us meet again." They left without saying a word.
Doctor An was very calm from beginning to end. After these people left, he smiled and nodded to Chang Yuncheng and Qi Yue.
"I surprised you." He said kindly.
Qi Yue smiled and changed her words. It wasn't until she said goodbye after dinner that she pulled Chang Yuncheng to ask.
"That's a member of the Julu Sima Wang family." Chang Yuncheng said.
Qi Yue suddenly realized,
It turns out that this is the Sima Wang family that caused Old Doctor An to break his leg.
Really arrogant enough!
"Who is this King Sima?" she couldn't help but ask.
"The surname of King Sima is Sima. He is the veteran minister who founded the country with Taizu, Princess Shang. They have a different surname, King Feng, King Julu, but everyone often calls them King Sima." Chang Yuncheng said.
Being able to be crowned king with a different surname shows that his status is not ordinary. Qi Yue let out a sigh and looked at the direction in which Old Doctor An was leaving.
If it wasn't for himself, he probably would never have set foot in the capital again, nor would he have suffered such humiliation again.
The Sima Wang family, the Sima Wang family, because their child who had no one to treat was not cured in the end, so Dr. An had to sacrifice two legs to atone for his sin.
Qi Yue read it silently in her heart.
