Chang'an is good

"It's all because Gu'an failed to detect Ah Shen's evil deeds in time. His mother blindly favored and protected General Chang's son. If the news reaches the ears of General Chang in Yangzhou, it may also affect Yangzhou. The battle situation—"

Ming Luo said uneasy and guilty: "Gu'an is the daughter of Ming's patriarch, and she has the duty to discipline and restrain my younger brother. This time, Ah Shen caused such a catastrophe. Gu'an is really to blame. Please punish me, aunt!"

The Holy Book Emperor looked at her.

The place where Ming Luo is kneeling now is exactly where Chang's knelt during the day.

Chang pleaded guilty for a long time, confessed for a long time, cried for a long time, and quibbled for a long time, and finally she even poured out the nonsense that "the concubine's original intention is to care for the saint and the Ming family" that even her idiot son can't fool.

The face of the Holy Book Emperor is still slightly calm.

"Mother and son of the Chang family, one is acting increasingly absurd and bolder, the other is self-righteous, and dares to transfer the methods of the back house to the court for self-interest, stupid and unaware... It seems that I have tolerated them too much in the past!"

Sensing the emperor's anger, Ming Luo lowered his figure even lower.

Soon, the emperor suppressed the anger that was exposed, and only the still tense solemnity remained in his tone: "Even if you talk about the lack of discipline and restraint, your father should be punished, I can't blame you Get up on your head—get up."

Ming Luo only dared to answer "Yes", got up slowly, and stood aside.

She knew very well that her aunt would never act foolishly to vent her anger. Her apology just now seemed to be to share the punishment with Chang's mother and son, but in fact it was to draw a line with them.

"The matter has come to this point, the Changsun family is pressing every step of the way, and there is no room for maneuver...then we can only wrong the Chang family's gentleman." The Emperor Shengji said slowly: "I heard that the Chang family's gentleman has been admitted to Xuanyuan. Cejun Qianfeng Battalion... This is a good guy, but Ah Shen is far worse than him."

There was a trace of regret in the emperor's voice: "But I have no choice, I can't protect him."

Ming Luo: "The saint is concerned about the safety of the court, this is not the fault of the saint."

"Whether it's right or wrong, this time, I can only be a foolish king who betrays his loyal ministers."

There is introspection and regret in the emperor's words, but there is no hesitation or intolerance.

Ming Luo has long been accustomed to this.

How my aunt would choose, she had already guessed when she heard the complete truth from her aunt.In other words, there is no need to guess at all.

That gentleman of the Chang family, who had a promising future, was doomed to be wronged to the end.

This is certainly very pitiful, but such pitiful people have been everywhere since ancient times.

No wonder, in comparison, the weight of this poor man is too low. In order to preserve greater interests, those in power should be sacrificed.

As a victim under the imperial court, that Mr. Chang's family is not the first, nor will he be the last.

There was also a trace of helpless pity in Ming Luo's eyes.

"As for General Chang..." Emperor Shengji said: "Although General Chang is loyal, the person he is loyal to is 'A Xiao', not me. On this point, since he disobeyed the holy order in the Beidi battle 12 years ago, I can see clearly."

She sighed softly, and said: "So, in order to ensure the stability of the war in Yangzhou, I have no choice but to keep this matter a secret for now."

After finishing speaking, Emperor Shengji sent his confidants inside, ordering him to stop all secret messages related to Chang Suian's case going to the south, and never let the matter of the capital reach Chang Kuo's ears.

"When General Chang returns to Beijing after victory, I will personally explain to him—this battle is very important. I believe that General Chang is a good general who cares about the people, so he will be able to understand my concealment at this time."

"I have also experienced the pain of bereavement..." Emperor Shengji lowered his voice, and said to himself: "The people of Jiangshan come first, and many times I have no choice, let alone other people."

Ming Luo didn't dare to answer, and just stood there quietly.

Yes, how could the aunt who had chosen to sacrifice her own flesh and blood be soft-hearted towards other people's children.

But my aunt...isn't all for the people of Jiangshan, is it?

After all, my aunt finally sat on this supreme dragon chair.

As the beneficiary's aunt, how can she ask General Chang, who is so passive now, to empathize with her who once actively contributed to everything?

This is somewhat unreasonable.

But a king doesn't need to be reasonable, but a minister can only choose to be considerate.

If you can't understand, you're digging your own grave.

But regardless of whether he was considerate on the surface or not, it was impossible for General Chang to gain the trust of the sage after such a barrier.

The hussar general's mansion in Xingningfang is destined to disappear in the near future.

As for the adopted daughter who lives in the General's Mansion, it is said that there will be no good end, but...

Ming Luo thought of Tianjing Guoshi's previous hexagram that really got in the way, and the thoughts that the emperor never let go of.

It was at this time that the emperor of the holy book ordered the servant to pass on the national teacher of Tianjing.

When Tianjing Guoshi arrived, Emperor Shengji told Mingluo: "Gu'an, you can go to the side hall to take a look."

The Chang family is still in the side hall.

Ming Luo agreed and withdrew.

Soon, those who withdrew together were the confidants of Emperor Shengji.

Some words can be heard by a confidant, but some words cannot.

The white bearded and haired Tianjing Guoshi saluted and asked, "Is your majesty the dragon's body safe recently?"

"Thanks to the elixir refined by the national teacher, my illness has been cured."

"Then I don't know why the sage called the poor Taoist to come here at this time?"

"It's still that hexagram..." Emperor Shengji looked at the old Taoist's eyes that seemed to be able to see through all mysteries, "Is the bond between me and that child bad or good?"

Tianjing Guoshi slowly shook his head: "Forgive me for my incompetence, I haven't been able to predict it yet."

Emperor Shengji looked at him: "Is it impossible to predict it, or is it that the national teacher refuses to reveal the secret?"

Faced with the emperor's question, Tianjing Guoshi was not at all panicked, he just said: "When I first saw the saint was born, I saw that the saint had the appearance of an emperor. Since the saint is the king of heaven, just follow the will of heaven with peace of mind yes."

"The king of destiny... also has a definite number. I often think about what will be the end of the definite number."

While whispering, Emperor Shengji looked at the three-legged Golden Crow Incense Burner burning with tranquilizing incense pills, and said in a trance: "The national teacher knows that my child may have returned."

Master Tianjing's eyes trembled slightly.

"Your Majesty means that the female tower..."

"Yes." Emperor Shengji said: "It is precisely because of the reminder of the hexagram from the national teacher that I have this guess. I have tested her with the formation in the tower, but I have not seen anything unusual."

Master Tianjing was puzzled in his eyes: "Why does the saint still have such a guess?"

Holy Book Emperor: "The formation may go wrong, and it's not impossible to do it artificially."

Tianjing Guoshi: "If it's really close relatives... There may be a feeling between mother and daughter."

"What if she deliberately hides all the traces that can be sensed, and she doesn't want to recognize me?" There was a complicated look of disappointment in the emperor's brows, "Perhaps... I really think too much."

Master Tianjing was thoughtful.

After a while, the voice of the Son of Heaven sounded again: "Therefore, the national teacher must pay more attention to that hexagram. Between me and that girl, apart from the fetters of good and bad, there are other things I care about..."

"Yes." Tianjing Guoshi replied: "Poverty understands."

After Tianjing Guoshi left, Emperor Shengji's eyes fell on the incense burner again.

All the palace people who served in Ganlu Hall knew the special features of the incense burner, and they had to be handled with extreme care, and no mistakes could be made—it was an old item in the East Palace of His Highness the former Crown Prince.

Whenever the sage looked at the censer, he must have thought of His Highness the Crown Prince.

This is the case at this moment.

The very faint incense mist above the incense burner lingers and drifts, just like the faint guess in the emperor's mind that he can't see clearly and can't grasp firmly.

If it is really A Shang, if it is really unwilling to recognize her... The reason for this is unknown to others, but she knows it.

And her Ah Shang has always attached great importance to affection, especially loving her subordinates...

If it were Ah Shang, he would not be able to watch the Chang family's husband die unjustly.

But even Ah Shang's soul, trapped in this penniless body, does not have the power to shake the sky, and he always needs to consider the consequences in his actions.

So, in a desperate situation, will you come to recognize her as a mother in order to save people?

Obviously, this will also be an opportunity for testing, and it is more usable than that formation.

Because of her Ah Shang, she can suffer and die, but she can't see the people around her suffer and die the most.

I am not afraid of myself, but I am afraid of those who care about me.

She's been aware of this since the child was very young.

She has done many things with it, from putting that child in boy's clothes, and everything after that...

Was she a very mean mother?
Now, she is waiting for the only person who is qualified to answer this sentence to come back to her.

She needs Ah Shang, and so does Da Sheng.

……

At the same moment, in the side hall, Mrs. Chang slowly opened her eyes, looking at the surrounding furnishings, she was momentarily stunned and dazed.

Consciousness regained quickly, and she remembered everything before she fell into a coma.

She entered the palace today and confessed everything to the saint. She was terrified, terrified and hopeless. In addition, she hadn't rested well for many days, and finally she couldn't hold on and passed out.

Chang's face was ashen, and he sat up from the couch, looked at the back of the side, and asked tentatively: "... Luoer?"

"Mother is awake." Ming Luo's voice was very calm, and he didn't look back at Chang.

Chang couldn't care less about her attitude and didn't dare to investigate her attitude, so he asked uneasily, "Sage, she..."

Ming Luo interrupted her indifferently: "The sage will arrange everything properly, since mother is awake, then I will send mother out of the palace."

It has never been a rule for foreign wives to stay overnight in the palace, and at such a critical moment, there are many people staring at them. If there is a precedent for staying overnight, it will cause unnecessary speculation and trouble.

Chang could only get up in a hurry, and followed Ming Luo out of the side hall.

With the palace lantern hanging high, Mrs. Chang looked towards the direction of the bedroom, and asked hesitantly, "Should I say goodbye to the saint first... before leaving the palace?"

"No need, the sage has already explained, just wait for the mother to wake up, then go out of the palace and return to the mansion."

"Alright..."

After leaving the Ganlu Palace, Chang looked back at the emperor's palace for the last time, feeling infinite sadness and unwillingness in his heart.

This was about the last time she'd have a chance to be here.

Due to the reputation of the Ming family, of course no charges will be brought against her, but after this incident, what is waiting for her...

Today, the sage promised that she would not blame the Chang family, but only if she took and settled all the crimes herself.

There are many choices for self-destruction, should I take poison, or white silk, or commit suicide?

There was a bleak smile on the corner of Chang's mouth.

The death methods of those concubines who once disappeared in Duke Ying's mansion, or women who were not even concubines, now it's her turn to choose...

Chang looked at Ming Luo who was walking ahead.

She still remembered that the county head's aunt was poisoned to death.

Who made her daughter lucky enough to be selected into the palace, caught in the eyes of the saint, and became the head of the county.

Luck is always limited. If the daughter is lucky, the aunt will only be unlucky.

The county lord's aunt couldn't see the blood directly, otherwise it would be a little troublesome, so she gave people a poison that would make people die of illness slowly.

The incident was not discovered.

But sometimes she wondered, did Ming Luo suspect anything?

Because of losing everything, Chang's mind was a little distracted at this moment, looking at Ming Luo subconsciously.

Ming Luo noticed her gaze, paused slightly, and said: "Although this matter is arranged by a sage, mother should not take it lightly, and still need to be careful to prevent accidents from happening."

Chang was startled for a moment, glanced at the maid who was following five steps away, and asked in a low voice: "The accident that Luoer mentioned refers to..."

Ming Luo walked and said: "Mother also said today that the disappearance of Feng Min must be done by the girl from the Chang family—"

"But since there is a saint here, Feng Min must not be able to cause any trouble..."

Under Ming Luo's signal, the maid's footsteps slowed down again.

Only then did Ming Luo say slowly: "I'm afraid my mother didn't understand what I said. The focus of this accident is not on Feng Min, but on that girl from the regular family."

Chang's eyes changed slightly: "Chang Suining?"

Ming Luo: "If a saint comes forward, it is said that there will be no more accidents. But some people are born very ignorant, even if they have no chance of winning, they dare to die..."

Chang's complexion changed.

That's right, that bitch of the Chang family is indeed impossible to settle down, and he will definitely not let it go...

Although her fate was already doomed, she still had to leave a way for the Chang family to survive, so she couldn't completely let go of this case and just lie down and wait for death.

Besides being unwilling, she still has hatred in her heart.

In the final analysis, if she came to this step, if she goes back in time, it was all because of Chang Suining!

From the time she hurt Ah Shen, everything after that happened!
The more desperate you are, when you know that the end cannot be changed, the less you will regret and introspect yourself, but you will only hate others and blame others for all misfortunes——

Chang's resentment was almost naturally transformed into a murderous desire to pull the other party to die together.

But she still has a sense of reason, the saint has issued a clear warning today, so that she can no longer act on her own...

Until the next thing, Ming Luo heard a sentence mentioned inadvertently——

"Some people seem to be born with evil stars." Ming Luo looked at the night ahead, and said in a low voice: "It seems that Tianjing Guoshi's hexagram is indeed true."

Chang asked, "What is the hexagram?"

Ming Luo paused for a moment before asking: "Mother, do you still remember Tian Jing Guoshi once praised Chang Sui Ning's face as extremely precious?"

I know that everyone is anxious about this plot, and I have received some comments that it is too late, but this plot is not about the simple case of brother being framed, but that many main and branch lines are in it. The person who dealt with it has to be dealt with, and more importantly, the map will be changed later, so it is necessary to finish all the plots of the capital.

So I still have to write at my own pace.

Of course, if you only care about Sui An's case, you can save up for other book friends who are not interested, and then judge from the title (I will make an obvious title when the case is closed), and you can skip to see the result.

Thank you for your hard work, good night~
