No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 306 Redemption? (two more)

Luo Junyao personally watched the arrangement of Xie Cheng's residence, then went back to the room and fell asleep a little groggy.

Perhaps it was because the things that happened last night and today were too many and too intense, and I was always restless in my sleep.Waking up from the chaotic dream, Luo Junyao sat up and looked up at the sky outside, only to find that it was already afternoon.

Rubbing between his brows, Luo Jun got up and got out of bed, took the clothes put aside and put them on.The movement inside attracted Lan Yin from the outside, "Princess is awake, servant girl, let someone bring some food over." Lan Yin walked in and said softly.

Luo Jun waved his hand: "No need, I don't have much appetite."

Lan Yin disagreed and said: "How can it be? You didn't eat when you came back at noon."

Luo Junyao sighed in her heart, it wasn't just noon, she didn't eat anything in the morning.

But right now, I really have no appetite.

Seeing that Lan Yin had already raised her voice to order the little girl outside, Luo Junyao didn't stop her, but asked, "Has Ah Yan come back?"

Lan Yin shook her head and said: "The prince hasn't come back yet, but the second young master came here in the afternoon. Hearing that the princess is asleep, let us not wake you up and leave again."

Luo Junyao frowned slightly, "Second brother, what's the matter?"

Lan Yin said: "Second Young Master said there was nothing wrong, he just passed by the palace and came in to have a look. He said that Second Young Master is now in charge of the safety of Shangyong City and is busy." Speaking of this, Lan Yin remembered the movement outside last night, although those The chaos did not disturb the people in the palace, but they were still a little uneasy.

The maid of the Wangfu moved very quickly, but within a short while, she served digestible porridge and appetizing side dishes.

When Luo Junyao smelled the hot, sour and crispy side dishes, he felt a little hungry and sat down to eat some.

While eating, Luo Junyao was thinking about whether to go to the palace to have a look, and he didn't know what happened to Xie Yan and Ah Cheng.Just as he was in a trance, Feng Jian came in and said: "Qi Wangfei, Mrs. Changlehou, Mrs. Changxing Bo, Mrs. Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and others are asking to see me."

Luo Jun raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why are they here at this time?"

Feng Jiandao: "I'm afraid I came here to find out the news. Chang Lehou's daughter is the wife of the fourth son of King Ning's mansion. Now King Ning has been thrown into prison. Although Prince Ning's house has not yet been confiscated, it has already been surrounded. No one is allowed to go out.”

Luo Junyao was a little surprised, "Didn't the Marquis of Changle participate in the affairs of Prince Ning's Mansion?"

Feng Jiandao: "The Marquis of Changle was originally granted the title of Marquis because of his kindness. Marquis Changle himself has no achievements, and naturally he has no power. I am afraid that King Ning will look down on this in-law. Besides, the fourth son of King Ning is not favored." Bastard, you have never dealt with Shizi."

"Where are Mrs. Changxing Bo and Mrs. Minister of the Ministry of Officials?" Luo Jun asked, holding his chin.

Feng Jiandao: "These two... Bo Changxing and Minister of the Ministry of Officials were detained in the palace. Although they were not imprisoned in the sky prison, and the mansion did not prohibit people from entering and leaving, but..."

Luo Jun shook his head to express that he understood, and these two also came to find out the news.

After thinking about it, Luo Jun shook his head and said, "Please sit down for a while."

"Yes, Princess." Feng Jian bowed and said goodbye.

When Luo Junyao stepped into the flower hall, there were four or five elegantly dressed ladies sitting there, who were talking in a low voice, when seeing Luo Junyao coming in, he quickly stood up and saluted respectfully, "I have seen the regent princess."

Luo Junyao smiled at the crowd, signaled Feng Jian and Lan Yin who were following behind to step back, and just now walked to the main seat and sat down and said with a smile: "I'm late, please forgive me."

The leading woman is not young anymore, and although her temples are well maintained, her temples are still gray. She quickly apologized and said with a smile: "The princess is serious, we are the ones who disturbed the princess."

Luo Jun shook his head and smiled, "Everyone is here today, what's the matter?"

Although Luo Junyao was the regent princess, she had a bad reputation before she got married at a young age, and she married Xie Yan not long ago, so these noble ladies might not think highly of her as usual.But now that they have something to ask for, their posture is naturally very respectful.

The woman who looked about fifty sitting on the right said respectfully: "To be honest, I really want to ask the princess for some things." Luo Junyao knew her, and her husband was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.The Ministry of Officials is the head of the six departments, and Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials is naturally quite prestigious in Shangyonghuang City.Now that she apologizes to a junior in her teens like this, this Mrs. Shang Shu probably hasn't experienced it for many years.

However, it is said that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials does have some relationship with King Ning, so it is no wonder that she is anxious.

Naturally, Luo Junyao was well aware of their intentions, but he didn't show it at all on his face, he just said: "Madam, why not tell me, if I can help, I will naturally do my best."

The female relatives looked at each other for a while, and then they explained the purpose of coming, and they really came to inquire about their husband's family.

Mrs. Changxing said cautiously: "Last night there was a lot of noise in the city, and we women don't know what happened. My master has not come back yet, and the old lady is in a hurry. We want to ask if we can get close to the palace gate. , I really had no choice but to beg the concubine, I don’t know our master..."

Before she could finish speaking, the others echoed.

Those who can appear in the Prince Regent's Mansion at this time are actually not serious problems.Those who really participated in King Ning's rebellion have long been thrown into the sky prison, and even their family members cannot go out even if they have not been imprisoned.Of course, it is not ruled out whether there are fish that slipped through the net.

So Luo Junyao didn't hide it from them, and said softly: "You don't have to worry, it must be because there are too many things in the palace, and all the adults are staying in the court to do business and have no time to go home. Don't say it is your family, it is our prince, no Is it because you haven't stepped into the palace since you went out last night?"

How can these words soothe these worried ladies, some people still can't help but say: "Princess, may they go back to the residence today? If not, can we... can we send someone to bring some things into the palace? The master went out in a hurry last night, I am afraid that even the clothes They didn't bring enough."

Luo Junyao thought for a while, and said: "The palace is unstable, and outsiders may not be able to enter. You might as well wait a little longer. If you still don't leave the palace after Shenshi, you can ask someone to deliver your things to the gate of the palace. Someone will definitely send them in. Yes. No matter how busy you are, you can’t let your lords starve and freeze, can you?”

After hearing this, everyone relaxed a bit.From this point of view, at least my master will not have any major incidents. He really hasn't been imprisoned, right?

Luo Junyao comforted the crowd a few more words before sending them away.

Only Mrs. Changlehou stayed at the end, and when everyone else had gone out, she said nervously: "Princess..."

Luo Jun raised his eyebrows and said, "Madam, is there anything else?"

Mrs. Changlehou said cautiously: "Princess, the second girl in my family married the fourth son of Prince Ning's mansion a few years ago." Seeing Luo Jun shaking his brows and frowning slightly, Mrs. Changlehou hurriedly said: "Wangfei Mingjian, our family is in harmony with you." King Ning's conspiracy has absolutely nothing to do with it! Although the two families are married, Prince Ning's mansion has nothing to do with us, and my unworthy daughter and son-in-law are not welcomed by King Ning, and they will never dare to participate in the conspiracy .”

Mrs. Chang Lehou's words are not an excuse, the four sons of Prince Ning's residence are not valued concubines.When Concubine Ning was choosing a wife for him, she intentionally chose the never-developed Changlehou Mansion.

Firstly, she is the concubine's daughter of the Hou family, so outsiders can't say that she is a concubine who has wronged a concubine.Second, apart from a noble title, the Changle Hou Mansion has no power or power. In terms of power and wealth, it may not even be as good as a fourth-rank official with real power.

Luo Jun said: "Madam, don't worry, if Changle Hou's Mansion and Ling Ai's son-in-law are really not involved in this matter, the prince and all the adults in the court will not wrong innocent people. But... after all, your son-in-law is the son-in-law of Prince Ning's mansion. , if it is said that it is not implicated at all, it is probably not possible. If it can be used to pay off the crime..."

Mrs. Changlehou was not a fool either, she immediately understood what Luo Junyao meant.

She thought about it in her mind, pulled the handkerchief in her hand a few times, nodded and said: "My wife understands, thank you for your advice. I don't know... can my wife visit my daughter?" Prince Ning's mansion was surrounded by the Zhen Guo army. Even if she wanted to say something to her daughter, she had no chance.

Luo Jun smiled and said: "Madam loves daughters so much, who has the heart to refuse?"

Madam Changlehou was overjoyed, "Thank you, Princess."

Mrs. Chang Lehou secretly made up her mind that no matter what, she had to persuade her daughter and son-in-law to find a way out for herself while it was still early.

King Ning must have been defeated, even if King Ning is undefeated, with Princess Ning and the son of the prince, the family may not benefit much.

It would be really unfair to be implicated now.

In the palace, the atmosphere in the main hall is still dignified.

It was already evening at this time, but several important ministers still hadn't been able to go home.Because of what happened last night, almost everyone has not closed their eyes until now. People who practice martial arts are better, but scholars are really a little bit unable to hold on.

The old lady Su and the two really old people were sent back to rest by the regent, and the others who were still "in their prime" could only continue to work with the regent.

The exhausted ministers did not dare to blame the regent, so they could only secretly curse the troublesome King Ning for coming.

"Prince Ning and his henchmen should be sent to the dungeon for careful interrogation." A thin courtier wearing a first-grade court uniform said respectfully: "But I don't know... how to deal with those who are temporarily detained in the palace?"

The regent threw some people directly into the sky prison, while the other people were only kept under house arrest in the palace, and did not even let them go to interrogate them. Obviously, the regent had different ideas about how to deal with these two types of people.

Most importantly, Ben is eventful.The regent suddenly detained so many courtiers, who will handle the matter?
Xie Yan said in a deep voice: "This king has asked the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate. If these people really have nothing to do with King Ning, they can go back soon. But..."

Everyone couldn't help pricking up their ears, and there were also relatives and friends of those detained.Those who seek their own death can't do anything about it, but as a courtier, no one hopes that the person in power is someone who likes to sit back and forth or take the opportunity to eradicate dissidents.

Xie Yan said: "The mind is impetuous and easy to be instigated. It is a fact that these people participated in the palace change last night. No punishment is not enough to warn the world. If everyone has no abnormalities, they will be demoted to one level and fined for one year."

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief: It's okay.

Regardless of whether he was deceived or not, he followed the rebellion and forced the palace to the gate of the Empress Dowager's palace, which directly led to the death of the Empress Dowager, but this kind of punishment is really not serious.

"My lord is generous." Everyone said in unison.

Xie Yan rubbed his eyebrows and said: "Everyone has worked hard, let's go back today. The rest will be discussed tomorrow morning."

Morning morning is not every day, but in the past few days it must be morning every day.All the ministers didn't dare to have any ideas, and they responded in unison.

The minister of Honglu Temple went out and said: "My lord, at noon the Qi people sent me a letter of resignation."

Xie Yan was not surprised, "Bai Jingrong is leaving? How will the Ninth Prince's wedding be handled?"

The minister of Honglu Temple said: "It's exactly this. The people of the Qi tribe are rushing to hand over the documents, which means that they have to leave long ago. Naturally, the wedding will not be in time. Besides... Prime Minister Ruan is still in the sky prison..." Ruan Ting entered the sky prison, and Ruan Ting entered the sky prison. The family is the relatives of criminal officials, can the daughter of the Ruan family marry the nine princes of the Qi clan?

Xie Yan thought for a while, and said: "Go and reply to the Qi people, my king agrees."

Everyone looked at Xie Yan in surprise, and Xie Yan said: "This king will order the Dingguo army to escort the queen of the Qi tribe to leave the customs, but the Qi tribe's agreement with Dasheng must be fulfilled before Bai Jingrong leaves the customs. As for the marriage... If the Qi tribe is dissatisfied with the daughter of the Ruan family , as long as the agreement is reached, this king guarantees the safety of the nine princes in Shangyong."

"Yes, my lord." Everyone knew it in their hearts, and asked Ding Guojun to escort Bai Jingrong out of the customs and take over the land agreed in the agreement.If the Qi people refused to fulfill the agreement, Ding Guojun didn't mind sending Bai Jingrong back again.

"Go back, everyone."

"Yes, the minister will retire!"
