Guan Suyi hugged her little sister all day and refused to let go. She patiently fed her porridge and water spoon by spoon, and it took half a month to ease up. The second uncle's room knew that the child was lost and didn't send someone to look for it. In this way, the Zhong family is even more determined to keep the child by her side.
The old man is not a fool, he noticed the abnormality before the mother and daughter thought about it, and took the initiative to ask. Guan Suyi concealed part of the truth, and slowly explained the whole story clearly. He thought that his grandfather would get angry again, but he unexpectedly smiled openly and sighed, "Good separation."
Guan Suyi didn't say anything for a while, lying on her grandfather's knee and crying silently. In today's world, it is difficult for women who are Heli to live. If their parents refuse to accept them, the only way out is to lose their hair and become nuns. She was probably the luckiest woman in Wei, because her relatives only wished her a peaceful life and never cared about what the outside world thought.
However, the Guan clan attached great importance to this, and sent someone to ask the reason the next day. When they entered the door, they were aggressive, even holding sticks and ropes. Zhongshi said the reason, and then eased his face, but there was a gloating light in his eyes. They never mentioned asking for justice for Guan Suyi, and they left after offering only a few words of consolation. Some people suggested that Mrs. Zhong send her daughter to the nunnery for cleaning, so as not to fall into the ground.
Like the daughter of Li and the widow, they are the easiest to provoke trouble.
Zhong Shi was so angry that his liver hurt, but he didn't have a good attack, so he just said a few perfunctory words. A few days later, Qi Yu sent a letter saying that his wife was seriously ill and had been sent back to her hometown to be raised. At the same time, Concubine Ye of Hou Mansion also contracted an emergency due to postpartum weakness and died suddenly in the middle of the night, and was buried in a hurry early the next morning.
Although these news were rumored for a while, they did not have the novelty of Zhenbeihou's ex-wife returning from the dead. Walking on the street, there are people talking about this almost everywhere, or lamenting that Mrs. Ye survived the disaster, or regretting that Mrs. Guan did not have the same luck. Seeing that she had just won the first grade, but was swept out of the house in a blink of an eye, it was also a hard life.
When Ye Jieyu heard that her sister had returned safely, she immediately summoned people to meet in the palace, and also begged the emperor to move the title of Yipin's life to her head. The emperor was furious about this, and bluntly said that the wife of the scumbag would not go to court, and that Mrs. Guan did not do anything wrong, and she was divorced for no reason. Mrs. Guan's official life was personally sealed by his royal pen, but she was slapped by the Duke of Zhenbei in a blink of an eye. This is contempt for imperial power.
As soon as his decree was sent, the queen also issued a decree to congratulate Ye Jieyu and Ye Zhen, saying that the Ye family was bullying others, their morals were corrupt, and they needed to reflect behind closed doors.
Ye Zhen originally thought that she would be able to have a happy birthday in a few days when she returned to the Marquis of Zhenbei, but it was expected that the blows from the palace had hit her again and again, and it had a tendency to make her unable to turn over for the rest of her life. Seeing "Ye Jieyu" sitting in the main seat and looking exactly like her, her mind was completely stunned, and she began to doubt whether she really existed.
After being reprimanded by the two emperors one after another, whether it was Ye Jieyu or Madam Ye, their reputations were already ruined, so they had to lock themselves at home to avoid embarrassment. This was not over yet. People with ulterior motives noticed that Ye Jieyu seemed to have fallen out of favor, so they began to impeach Ye Quanyong for various crimes. The emperor ordered Jinyiwei to conduct a thorough investigation, but he turned out many sins of treason, so he dispatched troops to destroy Ye's house and confiscated his family wealth. Ye Jieyu learned that this matter had entered a demon barrier, and used a white silk to kill her own life. Wild ghost.
The Ye family, a newly-prosperous dignitary, fell apart like this, and in the end it was nothing but a sigh from others.
Only then did Ye Zhen realize that the emperor letting her go home did not mean that the punishment was over, on the contrary, it was just the beginning. Without her status, without the support of her mother's family, without the favor of her husband, one can imagine how difficult her life was. Her mother-in-law hated her, and her concubine hated her. Although her son was obedient to her, it was of no use. Her daughter found that she had become a drag, and even began to complain.
The days are getting sadder day by day, even if she is still Mrs. Zhenbei Hou, but she is also an official, and she must be pointed out when she goes out. She has no face to hang around in Yanjing City, so she can only hide in the backyard and endure the sparring between Zhao Luli and the old lady. When the other concubines saw her losing power, they often came to sarcasm and ridicule her. They wanted to drown her with spittle stars.
She also doesn't know when such a life will end. The so-called "land and water have no way out" is probably the case.
----
Guan Suyi heard about Ye Jieyu and Mrs. Ye, and wanted to find out how these people existed at the same time, so she carefully checked the anecdotes and gradually got some guesses. At first, she was worried that the emperor would use strong authority to force her. One month passed, two months passed, but the situation was still calm, so she felt relieved.
When she thought she could live in such a safe and secure way in her whole life, a party strife suddenly broke out in the courtroom. The cause was Qi Yu's impeachment of Xu Guangzhi's son, Xu Tao, for sloppy life and dereliction of duty. This is the big crime of punishing the nine clans, how could Xu Guangzhi admit it, so he in turn impeached Qi Yu for corruption, bribery, and partying for personal gain. In recent years, Qi Yu has indeed been close to officials who are studying Legalism. When he had an accident, these people were also involved in it. The situation became more and more turbulent, and it shook the government and the opposition for a while.
And although Father Guan was a member of the court, he was arranged by Qi Yu. In order to please Xu Guangzhi, some people also tried to suppress him. Nine charges were placed on his head, all of which were capital offenses. On death row, no one is allowed to visit.
Hearing the news, the old man immediately spit out a mouthful of blood and shouted in a hoarse voice, "I'm wronged! My son raised by Guan Qiguang is such a wicked person? The so-called nine capital crimes are all unwarranted! My son is wronged!" The words fell suddenly Lying down, the breath will be cut off.
Zhong Shi clutched his chest and fell down, but Guan Suyi was the only one standing upright in the whole room. It's not that she's not afraid or flustered, but what's the use of being afraid and flustered? The more critical it is, the more we should keep a clear head, so that we can find a way out as soon as possible.
She immediately ordered someone to ask Imperial Physician Cao, finally rescued her grandfather, gave her mother a tranquilizer, and finally handed over her little sister Guan Miao to Minglan to take care of her, while she went out to inquire about the news. On the way, she suddenly thought that this might be the emperor's method to force her to submit, but she quickly denied it.
The other party is a dignified emperor, where do you need to deal with a knife and pen official in person? This is entirely caused by the bipartisan struggle between Confucianism and Legalism. As the saying goes, the immortals fight and the little devil suffers. As long as the person above speaks, the person below will fight to the death. Whoever has the weakest strength and the shallowest background will die the fastest.
The emperor didn't make a move, but it was certain to watch from the sidelines. He might be waiting for him to beg him.
After thinking about it, Guan Suyi covered her eyes and smiled bitterly. People without power and power have a really hard life. No matter how talented and arrogant you are, you will be trampled into mud with one foot. However, even so, she still wanted to struggle, but she was still not reconciled!
She hurriedly came to the Qi Mansion to ask to see her senior brother, but learned that he had just been captured by the officials, and she could not protect herself, so how could she protect her father? Out of desperation, she ran to find Zhou Lekang, her grandfather's high disciple, who just nodded and didn't give a precise word. Her ambiguous attitude made her even more flustered.
After visiting many brothers and sisters, only a few met her, and the rest all closed their doors to thank you, so it was so cool. Her eyes were all red, and she couldn't do anything, so she had no choice but to go to Zhenxi Hou's mansion. Li's family is very enthusiastic, but she is a girl and can't help, but the town of Xihou leads troops to suppress the bandits, and she can return to Beijing in a few months, and it is also impossible to save the near fire.
Guan Suyi bid farewell to Mrs. Li, and walked on the street with a blank expression, the sun shining brightly above her head, and the voices of people around her, but she seemed to be walking on a dark and lonely road with no end in sight. She passed by the rusted Dengwen drum and was really stunned for a while. It is said that in the time of the Zhou Dynasty, people who had grievances could beat drums and complain about their grievances. Why wasn't she born in the Zhou Dynasty, but had to live in this troubled world? Who should she complain to? Can I just watch my father die in vain
Her straight back slowly hunched down, and then straightened up little by little. What is dignity? What is fame? As long as she can save her father and protect the family, she can want nothing. After thinking about it, she rushed home and took the mandarin duck jade pendant to the gate of the palace.
"My lord, the girl asked to see the emperor." She walked over and asked tentatively.
The guard raised his halberd and scolded, "Where is the mad woman who wants to see the emperor when he opens his mouth. When you are the emperor, you can see it with a single voice? Get out of the way, lest the sword be blinded. ." The rest of the guards laughed, their eyes full of contempt.
"This is a token, please let me know if it's successful?" Guan Suyi held up the jade pendant.
The guard was already impatient, and was about to stab her with the halberd, but saw the commander of Jinyiwei who was standing on the platform running down in person, shouting, "Don't be rude! This is a noble person!" Run in and report.
Several guards were horrified, and their arrogant attitude instantly turned into sincerity and fear.
Guan Suyi didn't feel the slightest bit, she just stood there and waited, her heart beating fast, but her blood slowly became cold. The only thing she can rely on now is Emperor Shengyuan. At the beginning, she hoped that this person could forget this fondness and let her go, and now she hopes that his feelings for him have not faded, and he is willing to lend a helping hand.
The so-called chastity and aloofness are a joke now. What qualifications do people who can't even survive have to talk about? Now, let alone let her be a prostitute, even if she is made to be a evildoer to the country, as long as her father can come back alive, she is willing.
