After the imperial concubine and the fifth prince were grounded, life seemed to be much easier. Jun Liyuan and Jun Liche are the ones to take care of all the court affairs, what Jun Lixuan has to do is to accompany Ling Qiyang and make him happy.
Over the past few days, the courtiers have summed up 15 major crimes of disrespect in General Rong's mansion, all of which should be punished according to the law. Of course, there is no lack of Jun Liyuan and Jun Liche's help in this. But Emperor Yanxi still did not make an order, nor did he stop the courtiers from speaking, as if he was waiting for the last opportunity.
And just as Daddy Ling expected, although General Rong's mansion admitted that the pill was introduced into the palace privately, it strongly denied the matter of the abortion medicine. They also felt that something was wrong. Even the Fourth Prince didn't know about this medicine, so only the people who were closest to the imperial concubine and least likely to be suspected could be attacked.
Thinking that the unborn child might pose a threat to the Fifth Prince's throne, General Rong's House decided that the matter was done by the Fifth Prince, and wanted to blame them.
The Ministry of Punishment truthfully reported their statements to Emperor Yanxi. After hearing this, Emperor Yanxi was silent for a long time without saying anything.
In a blink of an eye, Ling Qiyang was already five months pregnant, and when his body sank, he felt exhausted. As long as Jun Lixuan had nothing to do, he would stay by his side and talk to him to relieve boredom.
"The weather is finally cool." Ling Qiyang looked at the high and blue sky, and felt that the temperature made him very comfortable. This year's summer is very long, and it's already hot when pregnant, so it's a bit difficult for Ling Qiyang, even if I put ice on it, it's only a little cooler.
"If you weren't pregnant, I'd like to take you to the hunting ground for two days at this time of year." Jun Lixuan sat opposite him, carefully peeling the grapes for him. It's not that he can't go now, it's just that he, who is going to be a father, has to accumulate blessings for his children, and it is really inappropriate to kill.
"Next time, anyway, the future will be long." Ling Qiyang smiled and put grapes into his mouth with a bamboo stick. After eating a few, I opened my mouth again: "Speaking of going out, Li Xuan, I want to go to the temple to give porridge. On the one hand, I want to do good deeds for the children, and on the other hand, I also want to burn incense and pray for the safety of the house and the family. Changle."
Jun Lixuan thought about it, giving porridge is much safer than hunting. It is indeed a good choice to bring more people there so that Ling Qiyang won't be too tired.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. I'll let Mingli prepare for it later. Which temple do you want to go to?" Jun Lixuan asked.
"Let's go to Guoning Temple." Ling Qiyang thought for a while and said. Guoning Temple is the largest temple in Yejing, and its incense is at its peak. Master Qingyi, an eminent monk who attained Taoism, was once the abbot here, but because he taught Buddhism to monks in other temples everywhere, he was unable to arrange trivial matters in the temple all the time, so he gave up the abbot position to his younger brother.
"Okay." Jun Lixuan nodded, and ordered Mingli to do it.
Three days later, outside the Guoning Temple, the people from Prince Lin's Mansion set up three cauldrons and began to serve porridge. There are two long rain shelter corridors outside the Guoning Temple. Many beggars and homeless people will stay there temporarily, and the monks of the Guoning Temple will not drive them away. So after a long time, the rain-shelter corridor becomes a decoration. Even if it is rainy, people who offer incense will walk with umbrellas and will not enter the rain-sheltered corridor.
In the morning, Ling Qiyang and Jun Lixuan got up early, and there is no morning morning today, so Junlixuan can go there with Ling Qiyang. After a brief meal, the two got into the carriage. But before the carriage drove out, Papa Ling and Gu Yao came out.
"Daddy, senior, why did you get up so early?" Jun Lixuan said when he saw the two of them.
Hearing this, Ling Qiyang opened the curtains to see it.
Papa Ling looked at the carriage and said, "Since we are going to do good deeds and accumulate good fortune, Gu Yao and I will go with us. It's always a wish, and I hope Qi Yang can give birth to the child safely."
Jun Lixuan said with a smile: "Then Father Lao and Senior will be with us."
"It should be." Papa Ling nodded, and then got into the carriage with Gu Yao.
The carriage went straight to Guoning Temple.
When the four of them arrived, they could already smell the fragrance of rice. There were also long queues in front of the three pots, not only the beggars near the Guoning Temple, but even the beggars from other temples came here, wanting to have a rare full meal.
"My lord, my concubine, Mr. Yue Qing, senior medical sage." Mingli saw the carriage approaching, and immediately went up to meet him.
After Jun Lixuan got off the car, he carefully helped Ling Qiyang down, and asked, "Are you all ready?"
"Yes. The porridge needs to be boiled for a while, and Luo Su has already begun to distribute red bean cakes to people, so I will give them a base first." Mingli laughed.
When Luo Su saw them, he saluted from a distance with a basket in hand, and continued to share the food. They have already explained before that Lord Lin is only here to do good deeds, and there is no need for everyone to salute. At this time, seeing the aloof Prince Lin and Princess Lin, even if they dare not look at them blatantly, they will still take a few sneaky glances.
Several people waited for a while, and the porridge cook came to report that the porridge was ready and could be shared. Jun Lixuan grabbed Ling Qiyang's hand, rolled up his cuffs carefully, wrapped it in a white scarf, and said, "Be careful, don't burn it. Come and rest when you're tired."
"En." Ling Qiyang smiled and nodded. As soon as he turned his head, he saw that Gu Yao was also rolling up Papa Ling's cuffs. Papa Ling's expression was a bit awkward, but he finally accepted it.
Father Ling, Jun Lixuan and Ling Qiyang stood in front of the three stoves. A few servants helped to fight, while Gu Yao sat on the sidelines and treated some old and weak beggars. Ling Qiyang really admired his master, no matter what the situation was, or who was sitting opposite him, the master would fulfill his duties as a doctor and heal him with all his heart. Naturally, the medicine comes from his pharmacy, just take the prescription to the back door of Prince Lin’s Mansion and wait to get the medicine. As for some trauma, he will bandage and give the medicine on the spot. Although his face is still cold, those patients praise him. Can't stop talking.
At the stove, it was obvious that Ling Qiyang had the most people queuing up, followed by Ling's father, and Jun Lixuan could only use the word "deserve" to describe it. Jun Lixuan's innate ruthlessness made people fearful, Ling Qiyang and the others stayed with him for a long time, and gradually got used to it, so they didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but outsiders could not help but be shocked at first glance, and hesitated. Coupled with his cold face, it makes people only dare to look at it from a distance.
Ling Qiyang looked at him and couldn't help laughing. Even though the front of the stage was deserted, Jun Lixuan didn't feel embarrassed. Occasionally, a few disabled men bravely walked over. Jun Lixuan didn't show any extra expressions. He just filled their bowls and continued to wait. .
Turning his head to look at the master who was feeling the pulse, Ling Qiyang gave up the idea of letting the master replace Jun Lixuan - although the master did not have a violent look, his face was definitely colder than Jun Lixuan.
"Li Xuan, come." Ling Qiyang waved to him with a smile.
Jun Lixuan immediately put down the spoon and walked over, and asked with concern: "But are you tired?"
Ling Qiyang shook his head with a smile, "I'm not tired, but I'm a bit too busy alone, so you can help me share the pickles."
"Okay." Jun Lixuan naturally prefers staying by Ling Qiyang's side compared to that dry stove. Ling Qiyang ordered Mingli and Luo Su to take over Jun Lixuan's position, and the people in the back row gradually dispersed towards Mingli.
Jun Lixuan didn't care at all, Ling Qiyang served them porridge, and he put some pickles on the porridge, the two cooperated tacitly, and the speed was much faster.
The beggars who came to get the porridge saw that the two were so affectionate, and they were much less afraid of Jun Lixuan. After receiving the porridge, they would thank each other and even say some blessings. This made the two of them feel very happy.
When the porridge was almost finished, the two of them accidentally saw the servant of the Ministry of Justice who should not have appeared here. Since his daughter died in the Fourth Prince's Mansion, this lord has aged a lot, but fortunately, he is energetic and energetic. It's okay, so as not to be too decadent.
"I've seen Lord Lin and Concubine Lin." The minister of punishment saluted, and the young man beside him also saluted, but neither Jun Lixuan nor Ling Qiyang had seen this person.
"Get up. I'm here to serve porridge, so the etiquette is waived." Because of the relationship with the fourth prince, Jun Lixuan and the servant of the Ministry of punishment have always been relatively estranged, and they have not spoken a few words.
"Today, I came here to send some scriptures copied by myself to my beloved daughter, and prayed for her early ascension to bliss. I didn't expect to meet Prince Lin and Princess Wang here. I dare you, can I ask you two bowls of porridge for filling? Fill your belly?"
"Naturally." Ling Qiyang smiled. Today's porridge is well prepared, so it doesn't matter if you serve them two bowls.
"Then I would like to thank Princess Lin." The servant of the Ministry of Punishment looked at the whole family of Prince Lin's mansion here, feeling sad and sighing in his heart.
Ling Qiyang took two clean bowls, filled them with two bowls of porridge, Jun Lixuan added pickles as before, and then handed them to the two.
"Thank you, my lord and my concubine." The two of them took the porridge without saying anything, took their chopsticks, and stood aside to eat.
Ling Qiyang looked at Jun Lixuan, what they were more curious about was the man next to the Minister of Justice, the man looked young, but he was very stable, judging from his clothes, he also had some status. Although it was eaten in the open air, the man ate the porridge in a very refined manner, and it seemed that he had been well-bred. What is the identity of such a person with the Minister of Criminal Affairs
Although the two had doubts, they didn't feel any malice, so they didn't ask any more questions.
After the two finished eating the porridge, the servant of the Ministry of Justice returned the bowls and chopsticks and said, "Prince Lin is honest, and this porridge is also thick. The kindness of the prince and concubine will surely move the heavens and keep the two of you safe."
"I would like to borrow your good words." Ling Qiyang said with a smile.
The servant of the Ministry of Punishment looked at the two of them, and said softly: "Good and evil will be rewarded in the end. Those who harm others will not end well, and those who accumulate blessings will also receive the favor and favor of heaven. I will leave first."
Jun Lixuan nodded slightly. Although he felt that there was something in his words, neither of them asked much.
The servant of the Ministry of Punishment took the man away, his back still a bit bleak.
In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Yanxi learned from nowhere that Prince Lin's mansion had gone to give porridge.
King You also returned to You country a few days ago, and Daye also sent troops to protect him from leaving the country safely. The officials in charge of the matter said that everything was fine, and Emperor Yanxi was quite satisfied.
Originally, when everyone thought that the morning court would pass in such a peaceful manner, Prime Minister Zuo came out and said, "Report to the Emperor, and I have a copy of this." Prime Minister Zuo took a booklet from his cuff and presented it, saying, "Fifth Prince Using his power without authorization, he, together with Gong Lianhou and his son, sold private salt for huge profits, and threatened the officials who learned about the matter not to disclose it, otherwise his family would be killed. Such a crime of rebellion is unforgivable .Look at the emperor's lesson!"
As soon as Prime Minister Zuo's words came out, the court was in an uproar.
The attendant took the zhezi and handed it to Emperor Yanxi. After seeing the detailed statement above and the names and fingerprints of the officials, Emperor Yanxi said angrily: "Presumptuous! Come, let Jun Chengxi, Gonglianhou and Luo Dingsheng all Pressed into the dungeon, the two mansions are guarded by the internal army, and no one is allowed to enter or leave! I will verify them one by one before making a decision."
"Yes!" The commander of the internal army took the order.
Before Emperor Yanxi finished his fire, Jun Chengrong, who had not been in court for a long time, also stood up, knelt down and said: "Father, sons and ministers also have their own performances. Jun Cheng has no respect, acts arbitrarily, colludes with Gu Master, intending to kill the emperor's heir and seize the throne. He also used medicine to kill the child in the womb of his own mother and concubine, he is really unworthy of a human being!"
"Brother Da Huang, do you have evidence? It's better not to frame others." Jun Chengyan stood up and said with a grim expression.
"Of course there is, otherwise I wouldn't dare to Bingming Emperor Father lightly." Jun Chengrong glared, obviously confident.
Emperor Yanxi's complexion turned black. Originally, the matter of private salt was enough to make him angry, but he didn't expect there to be more! After being silent for a while, he said: "The matter is of great importance. The left and right prime ministers and the six ministers, together with me and the princes, went to the imperial study for a detailed discussion. Someone, go and invite the queen here. This matter involves the harem, and she has the right to listen in." .”
"Yes." Those who were named responded in unison.
Afterwards, Emperor Yanxi said "Back to court", flicked his sleeves, and left first...
