According to custom, there is no court meeting before the sixth day of the first lunar month. There was a lot of walking around in the past few days. Xie Ruzhuo was busy with Mr. Qiao every day. For a while, he forgot about this matter.
It wasn't until early in the morning on the seventh day of the first lunar month that she got good news.
"Miss, that person has sent a message."
Hong Rui took off her hood, took a breath of air, and chuckled, "You'd never expect it."
"But what did grandpa do?" Xie Ruzhuo put his hand on the stove, covering it gently, and said casually.
"Ah, miss, how do you know?" Hongrui exclaimed, turned to sit next to her, and said, "Although the old man didn't express anything, Mr. Zhan from the Yushitai wrote a note, impeachment The fifth prince had several accusations, and all of them were well-founded. His Majesty was furious on the spot, and sent an imperial edict to the fifth prince's residence, reprimanding him, and ordering the Yushitai to investigate and deal with it strictly!"
Hearing this, Xie Ruzhuo slowly smiled. Mr. Zhan from the Yushitai is Grandpa's favorite disciple, and if this person wants to come to Zhongzheng, if he comes forward, the emperor will definitely not think of the Xie family. Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.
However, since grandpa has already done things to this extent, she can't be idle. It has just passed the New Year and the weather is still very cold. How can we keep everyone warm without adding a fire
I don't know if it was because the fifth prince had a bad year this year. In just a few days, the troubles surrounding the fifth prince in the court never stopped.
Although Concubine Hui interceded before, the fifth prince was exempted from the grounding. However, the scoldings continued in the past few days, and no matter how generous the fifth prince was, he could no longer bear it.
After the court that day, he went to Concubine Hui's palace to pay her respects as usual and discuss countermeasures with her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the palace gate, he heard the wailing of a palace maid.
Xiao Junyi was stunned for a moment, and then entered the room. He saw a palace maid being held down by several strong nuns, and another nun who was holding the punishment was holding the bamboo clamp in her face. , it’s really a bit eye-catching.
"Mother, what's going on?"
Concubine Hui signaled him not to speak, then coughed and said, "Are you going to move now or not?"
"Hui Concubine, slaves, slaves have all been recruited! I admit that I am indeed Xian Concubine's son, but, I have never done anything that is sorry for you. Please give Hui Concubine a clear warning!"
"What, she is!" Xiao Junyi's expression suddenly changed. This palace maid should be the maid who serves the mother-in-law in the palace. If she is really the virtuous concubine, then wouldn't all the private words he talks to the mother-in-law reach her ears
When he thought about whose biological mother Xian Fei was, Xiao Junyi's expression instantly cracked.
Whatever he can think of, Concubine Hui can naturally think of.
"Humph, you haven't done anything? Do you think I'm a fool! Come here, give me a hard beating, and after that, send me to Concubine Xian's palace!" Concubine Hui sneered, and continued, "How dare you go there? If there is someone in my room, I will send her back as is!"
"Mom, wait a minute, my concubine, I will keep this palace servant for useful purposes." Xiao Junyi smiled sinisterly, and then motioned to Concubine Hui to step aside.
Concubine Hui understood, and waved her hand again, "Forget it, let's take her into custody first, and keep her under my watch. Don't let her die."
"yes."
Seeing everyone bowing and retreating, Xiao Junyi walked up to Concubine Hui and said softly, making Concubine Hui smile and say, "Your Majesty, your move is really brilliant!"
Xiao Junyi smiled contentedly, and then said viciously, "He Xiao Junhan is unkind, so don't blame me for being unjust!"
Concubine Hui comforted him for a while and then asked, "You came in such a hurry today, but do you have something important to do?"
"Mother concubine, I couldn't figure it out before, but when I saw you interrogating people just now, I understood it instantly." Xiao Junyi said with a gloomy eyebrow, "I was thinking before, why Qin Zhong, who had impeached me before, was biting I refused to let him go, but I found out last night that he was Xiao Junhan's man! In addition, a traitor was found in the mother-in-law's palace, so everything made sense! Since he would do anything to deal with me, he dared to tell those things If it’s all spread out on Father’s desk, then I don’t have to be polite!”
Hearing this, Concubine Hui also nodded, squinted her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will take care of everything in the palace. If mother and son are going to fight, we will save them and stay with them until the end!"
When the man sent the message again, the second prince and the fifth prince were already in an increasingly heated fight. After Xie Ruzhuo read the letter, he burned it leisurely, and then said, "Tell that person that if anything happens in the future, I will come to him again. Thank him for me for this matter."
Hong Rui agreed and saw that Xie Ruzhuo was a little tired, so she turned around and walked out.
The stove in the house was burning slightly, and the charcoal fire occasionally sprouted a few saplings, and then returned to calm. The room was warm and cozy, but Xie Ruzhuo's heart felt like ice and snow outside. She was not willing to use these treacherous methods, but to deal with ruthless people, the only way to deal with them was to let them fight among themselves. Only when the opponent is exhausted from fighting can she have the chance to bite her opponent to death!
On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, a letter finally came back from Weinan and was sent directly to Zizhuyuan.
Xie Ruzhuo was talking to Mr. Ji. When he saw that the person who came was wearing armor and smelled of wind and frost, he knew that it would be bitterly cold over there.
Ms. Ji hurriedly called people to get up, took the letter and read it several times. She was worried and relieved and said to Mr. Qiao, "Huainan is considered to be successful. This errand went smoothly. In the letter, he said You still comfort me, this kid."
Mrs. Qiao also accepted the letter, turned it over and over, wiped the redness at the corners of her eyes, and said with a smile, "My child knows how to be filial. This is my mother's blessing."
Xie Ruzhuo was concerned about his brother's condition, so he asked, "Have you had a smooth journey here?"
When Xie Huainan and Jiang Chengye were ordered to transport supplies to the south, not only did Jiang Shixun go with him, but the Dingbei Palace also sent experts to accompany him. It's just that it's the New Year, everything is busy, and the journey is long, so she is very worried.
Hearing this, the man reported back, "Our trip went well, but we encountered victims of the disaster on the way. The situation was chaotic and the eldest young master was slightly injured. Fortunately, Mr. Jiang was here. He has excellent medical skills. The eldest young master It will be fine in two or three days. Now that we have arrived safely, relief work has been carried out, so please rest assured, Miss."
After hearing this, Ji's eyes suddenly turned red and she said worriedly, "Huainan has never suffered any hardship since he was a child. Now he is injured. It is said to be going well, but how can it be great?" As she said that, she felt a little teary. It fell.
Xie Ruzhuo also felt uncomfortable in his heart. It can be seen that his grandmother was in need of comfort.
After finally calming down Ji's mood, she heard Lu saying sourly, "Hey, speaking of it, it's the eldest young master's fault. The younger ones don't know how to pay attention to their own height, so they just let the elders know it." It’s really unfilial to worry about him.”
"You stupid thing, what do you know?!"
As soon as Mrs. Lu finished speaking, Mrs. Ji slammed the crested crutch in her hand on the ground and said, "The descendants of the Xie family should contribute to the country. This is what they should do. Of course I feel sorry for him when he is injured, but for the long-term care of our descendants, How can a woman be so scheming? What you say is not for his own good, but to hold him back!"
Hearing this, Mrs. Lu's face froze, and then she forced out a smile and said, "Mom, aren't I worried about you too? I'm afraid that you will be too sad and it will be bad for your health."
"If you can say less reckless things, then I can live a long life! Okay, go back to your room." Ji Shi saw her impatiently and waved her out after a few words.
Madam Lu felt secretly resentful, so she could only salute and say, "Yes."
"Wait a minute." Mrs. Ji remembered something again and said, "Liu Yun has been pregnant for more than a month now, so she will be exempted from serving her as soon as possible. I will give her a girl from my room later, so she can take good care of her. .”
"Mom, this is impossible. How can the maid in your room serve her? Don't worry, I will take good care of her." At the end of the sentence, Mrs. Lu was gritting her teeth. Not only was this Liuyun unlucky at first, but he was sent back to his own yard by the old lady. Now she is pregnant with the master's flesh and blood, which is really hateful!
"Okay, you don't need to say more, the matter is settled." After saying that, the old lady glanced at Mr. Lu again and said coolly, "Although it is not easy to conceive, I have never seen anyone unable to give birth to a baby. If there are any more problems with Liu Yun's pregnancy, then I will ask you the only one!"
Mrs. Lu originally planned to find an opportunity to clean up her and the evil seed in her belly, but unexpectedly, the old lady saw the opportunity, and now she said this as a warning!
As she thought about it, she had no choice but to suppress her thoughts and said reluctantly, "My wife knows, mother, please don't worry."
Seeing Mr. Lu reluctantly leaving, Xie Ruzhuo smiled meaningfully. The third room is getting more and more lively now.
After the messenger delivered the letter to Ji, he went straight to the old man's Ningxi Hall.
There was no other reason. Before Xie Huainan left, he had a secret conversation with Xie Shengli. This time when he went to Dianyang, he made a special trip to the Xie family's old house. After some discussions with the people in his hometown, he finally agreed that the Xie family's clan members in the south would move to the capital!
After learning the news that the people from the past tribe were coming, Xie Shengli's face was instantly filled with a smile. They say people miss the past as they get older, and this is true. Now that he knew the news, Xie Shengli's first reaction was not that of the past, but that he was a little excited.
He hurriedly ordered people to prepare the house, and also had people study ink, preparing a reply to Xie Huainan.
Jiang Shixun was indeed good at doing things, and he donated doctors and medicines under the banner of the royal family. Not only did he earn the reputation of the Jiang and Xie families, but he also made the emperor very happy.
In the court hall, Emperor Jing specially praised the officials of the two families, and after going to court, he sent a decree to the two families to express their commendations.
Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and the heavy snowfall for three consecutive days has finally stopped.
In the afternoon, Xie Ruzhuo sat in front of the window, looking at the gorgeous plum blossoms on the tree outside the window, and couldn't help but feel a little dazed.
At this time in the previous life, the Xie family was robbed of money for disaster relief. At this moment, there was a haze everywhere. However, in this life, what Xie Huainan, Jiang Shixun and others did in the south completely turned a disaster into invisible, and made the emperor more and more favored.
The turn of events was enough to excite her. However, this is not enough. Those behind the scenes targeting the Xie family have not stopped yet. She must cut off their hands and feet one by one and slit their throats so that these people will no longer pose the slightest threat to the Xie family!
Children's play could be heard outside, and after a while the curtain was raised, but it was Xie Huailin who ran over coquettishly and said in a sweet voice, "Sister, Yong'an wants to see the lanterns."
"It's a lantern." Xie Ruyue on the side corrected helplessly.
