Yan Shi took Hua Ling to the new mansion in a carriage. Although the new mansion hadn't been lived in for a long time, someone came to clean it from time to time, and it was very clean and tidy.
Hua Ling took Yan Shi's hand, looked carefully at every place, and discussed with Yan Shi what to put wherever he went.
"Brother, let Master Qingyue live here." Hua Ling held Yan Shi with one hand, and touched the glowing red pillar with the other, "There are a lot of bamboos in this courtyard, I think Master Qingyue will like it. However, we still have to see it when the time comes." What he meant. There are so many courtyards around this mansion, he can live anywhere he wants."
Yan Shi looked at the small courtyard Hua Ling had mentioned. In front of the house was a small bamboo forest and a small pool. The water had thawed, and happy fish could be seen swimming in it. This small courtyard is quiet and elegant, quite suitable for Jiang Qingyue.
Yan Shi smiled and said, "Qingyue will definitely like this place."
The two left this courtyard and went to the next one. This courtyard is about the same size as the one just now, but there is a large piece of land in front of the house. After looking at it, Hua Ling said: "Brother, this is suitable for Mr. Qu to live in. , that open space is just right for him to plant medicine."
After seeing all the courtyards, the two came to the main courtyard. This place is more than a little bit more luxurious than the place where they live now. Hua Ling looked at the plaque on it and said, "Brother, this place is still called 'Nuanyang Pavilion'. I like this name. It sounds full of excitement." Warmth."
Yan Shi naturally agreed, thinking that when he left the palace to build the mansion, he had no expectations for his palace, and all the things in the palace were handed over to Qingji to take care of. But now following Hua Ling to watch carefully in the mansion, discussing the layout and furnishing, he was really looking forward to moving in soon.
Home, as long as you have this person by your side, wherever you live is home.
"Brother, are you tired? Let's sit down for a while." Hua Ling found a place to support Yan Shi and sat down.
Yan Shi is also vomiting now, but apart from morning sickness, she has no other symptoms. She feels pretty good, and she doesn't feel tired after walking for so long.
Hua Ling asked Yan Shi to sit down, but he didn't sit down, he squatted in front of Yan Shi, gently pinching his legs.
"Ming Ting—" Yan Shi wanted to pull his legs back, but Hua Ling quickly grabbed her.
"Brother, let me give you a pinch." Hua Ling raised a smiling face and looked at him cheerfully, "I'm not tired, so give me a pinch, it will make you more comfortable."
Seeing that Hua Ling seemed to be enjoying it, Yan Shi didn't refuse, enjoying the love and tenderness given by the little princess.
There is no wind today, and the sun is just right. Occasionally, a few birds fly over the palace, making joyful sounds.
Yan Shi looked up, and only saw a shadow, but a smile appeared on his lips bit by bit.
After the two rested for a while, they looked at the unfinished places in the mansion one by one. What surprised Hua Ling the most was that there was a hot spring in the palace!
The old prince is a person who knows how to enjoy himself. This hot spring was lured from outside the imperial city when he was alive, which took a lot of time and effort. Hua Ling's hand gently stretched into the hot spring, it was warm and comfortable.
Yan Shi's body became heavier as he got to the later stage. If there is this hot spring, soaking in it every day can relieve a lot of fatigue. Hua Ling thought about it again, and asked Qu Liushang to see if it could be made into a medicinal bath when he moved in.
The two didn't leave together until noon, Hua Ling sent Yan Shi to Dali Temple and then returned to the palace.
Although the new palace is clean and tidy, some places still need to be recuperated before they can live in it, and this matter is handed over to Hua Ling.
Nearly ten days later, news came from King Mu that the case of Hua Qiancheng had been investigated.
Although there was the letter, the sender missed it. Therefore, Hua Qiancheng did not admit his treason, and the third prince also said that the poison was poisoned by them, so Hua Qiancheng couldn't admit it even more.
As for the letter, he said that it was the third prince who came to frame him. The reason, of course, was that he was a celebrity in front of Emperor Chongjin. towards losing one
This is beneficial to the Wuman Kingdom.
King Mu wanted to punish Hua Qiancheng for committing a crime of collaborating with the enemy and treason, so as to punish his nine clans, so he planned to bring Hua Qiancheng's case to Emperor Chongjin after the person who sent the letter was captured.
But the people around King Mu didn't eat nothing. A counselor said: "Hua Qiancheng's power is deeply rooted in the court. Although he is in prison now, it is hard to guarantee that there will be no other changes. If it takes a long time, he is thinking of something. Turning over in other ways is really not worth the candle."
After hearing this, King Mu hesitated: "King Zhao's old fox is too shrewd. Hua Qiancheng did a lot of evil things for him, but he didn't involve him too much." Thinking of this, King Mu felt unwilling .
"My lord," another counselor said, "on the surface, it seems that King Zhao won't be severely punished in this matter, but in fact, he lost his helper, Duke Kangle, which can be said to be a serious injury. Moreover, Kangle Duke Zhao is in trouble this time, King Zhao didn't help, so what do you think, Lord Kangle, will the people of Duke Kangle think?"
King Mu's eyes lit up: "You mean—"
"I mean, instead of killing them all, it's better to pull these people over and use them for me." The counselor continued, "Since the founding of this dynasty, no one has been cut off from the nine clans. If the prince sets this precedent, will His Majesty agree?" Do you think the prince is too cruel? You don't have to worry about His Majesty pardoning Duke Kangle so easily, after all we still have that matter in our hands."
Finally, under the persuasion of counselors, King Mu closed the case and reported it to Emperor Chongjin.
It first stated that there was insufficient evidence of Hua Qiancheng's treason, and it also listed Hua Qiancheng's crimes. After all, Hua Qiancheng was a celebrity beside Emperor Chongjin. When he saw this, he was already exonerating Hua Qiancheng, but when he saw what happened next, his face immediately changed color.
"Good job, Hua Qiancheng!" Emperor Chong Jin trembled with anger.
The courtiers looked at each other, and finally a veteran came out tremblingly and said, "Dare to ask Your Majesty, what happened?"
"You, King Mu, tell me." Emperor Chongjin looked at King Mu and said.
King Mu came out, checked what he had done these days, and finally said: "I wonder if everyone still remember Mrs. Xianguo?"
Hua Ling's biological mother was the number one beauty in the imperial city back then, and many people loved her, but she chose Hua Qiancheng. Many people in the court were still her suitors at that time, so they naturally remembered her.
Someone asked: "What happened to Mrs. Xianguo?" Hasn't she been dead for many years
King Mu continued: "Mrs. Xianguo is said to have died of illness, but according to my investigation, she was actually murdered to death by Duke Kangle and the current wife of the Duke."
As for how King Mu knew this, it was naturally Yan Shi who asked him to find out on purpose.
When the courtiers heard this, they suddenly made a commotion, there were faint sounds of anger, and some even cried softly.
Emperor Chongjin rubbed his eyebrows and said nothing, some people naturally didn't believe it, so they asked how King Mu knew
Seeing that he had achieved the result he wanted, King Mu went on to say: "There are all the witnesses and material evidence, and Duke Kangle and Mrs. Guo have already pleaded guilty."
Emperor Chongjin asked Eunuch Le to pass on to his ministers what King Mu had given him just now.
"Actually, Duke Kangle and Mrs. Xian were lovers long before he married Mrs. Xian. The reason why he married Mrs. Xian was because of the military power in the hands of his father, Marshal Qin." King Mu gave The officials explained, "After the two got married, Duke Kangle repeatedly asked Mrs. Xianguo to tell Marshal Qin that he would give him the military power in his hands. But Mrs. Xianguo did not agree. Later, Marshal Qin disappeared from his hands. The military power fell into the hands of Marshal Wei. Duke Kangle saw that Mrs. Xianguo had lost the value of using it, so he and Mrs. Xianguo poisoned Mrs. Xianguo to death. Everyone knows what happened next."
Hua Qian's move was really appalling, and all the officials expressed that they must be severely punished. Emperor Chongjin ordered on the spot, and sentenced Hua's family to be executed.
Yan Shi got down and went back to tell Hua Ling about it, Hua Ling only nodded to show that he knew, and didn't say anything else. After only sitting in a daze for the whole afternoon, Yan Shi sat with him for the whole afternoon.
When it got dark, Hua Ling suddenly said the first sentence of the whole afternoon: "Brother, I want to visit them."
Yan Shi naturally agreed. In fact, at the court today, Emperor Chongjin told Shen Chenbi that if Hua Ling wanted to go to the Ministry of Punishment to see Hua Qiancheng, he would let him go. Emperor Chong Jin liked Hua Ling very much before, but after knowing how Yang Shi treated him, he loved him even more, and now he feels pity for him even more.
Yan Shi accompanied Hua Ling to the entrance of the criminal department. When he wanted to go in, Hua Ling stopped him, and Yan Shi didn't insist anymore. At this time, he should be given an independent space.
The members of the Hua family were locked together, and when they heard someone walking this way, they all ran to the cell door to look around except Hua Xu, but when they saw Hua Ling, they were disappointed again.
Yang has long lost her original grace and luxury, and now she looks twenty years older, with disheveled hair and a sallow complexion. Hua Qiancheng's hair is also a little messy, but it looks better than Yang's. Hua Luyao's complexion was not very good either, Hua Wei was being held in Yang's arms, her cuffs and chest were a little dirty. Hua Xu sat in the corner with his knees hugged, and didn't look over.
Hua Ling walked there slowly step by step, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
Hua Luyao yelled uncontrollably long ago: "Hua Ling, it's you! You did all of this, right! You loser! White-eyed wolf! I knew you were not a good person, you, You actually want to put the entire Hua family to death. How dare you come? How big of a face do you have to dare to come? Are you here to see our jokes? Why didn’t my mother strangle you when you were young? After so many years, I raised a white-eyed wolf! When the white-eyed wolf grows up, it's time to come back and bite!"
