Chapter 198 Hole Cards
Sensing Pei Mo's silence, Murong Qing clasped his neck with both hands, leaned his head against his shoulder and nudged him, like a clingy kitten.

"No matter what, I'm with you."

The voice of the villain in his arms was obviously soft and thin, but it seemed to be full of strength, stirring Pei Mo's heart.

Yes, with these words, Pei Mo felt that it was worthwhile for him to be here all his life. With these words, even if there were thousands of rivers and mountains between them, they would never be far apart.

"In short, you don't have to worry too much. You have your own way of being a husband. Your husband is more than capable. Just watch, huh? Go to sleep, you've been crying all night."

Pei Mo didn't know what to think of, and with his eyes full of winning, he gently kissed her swollen eyelids from crying.

Murong Qing, who was indeed tired, soon fell into a deep sleep, and did not wake up until after noon.

When he woke up, he found that Ping'er was already waiting in front of the bed. It turned out that Pei Mo had already explained.

Although Pei Mo was very sure about this matter, the idea of ​​planning for a rainy day had penetrated into Murong Qing's bone marrow. While she trusted Pei Mo, she also arranged for Yan Ru to closely monitor the second prince's residence.

There are many capable people and strange people in the Jianghu, and there will always be a few who can escape the detection of the hidden guards of the Prince's Mansion and spy on every move of the Prince's Mansion.

Recalling last night's nightmare, Murong Qing still had lingering fears in her heart, which made her heart flustered again after she finally calmed down.

Angrily thinking in his heart that he must find out the second prince's weakness, what kind of weakness, and teach him a lesson next time he bites anyone like this again.

Today is Xiumu, there are different opinions in Beijing about the second prince's greed for ink, and the limelight has not diminished, but has intensified.

The aides of the second prince's party stayed up all night to summon the guests, racking their brains to find excuses to excuse the second prince. The prince's party members did not make trouble, but anyone with a discerning eye understands that this is a superficial effort, and it seems that they are avoiding suspicion. But in private, I don't know what happiness looks like.

Some of the neutral officials are old ministers in the court, some are watching from the sidelines, some are really indifferent, and the rest are small officials who can't understand the way.

The next day, when it finally came to court, a group of ministers expressed their opinions on the second prince's greed for ink, which almost made the kneeling second prince grit his teeth.

"Reporting to the Emperor, I think that although the Second Highness is at fault, but judging from the past of the Second Highness, the Second Highness abides by the etiquette and law, is devoted to his duties, abides by the royal rules and regulations, and never oversteps. I still hope that the emperor can use his discretion and let the Second Highness make up for it this time."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is the latent second prince's party. Recently, he has received a lot of gifts from the second prince. He is short of manpower, so he will stand up and speak well to the second prince.

Jing Zhaoyin is nearly forty years old, and he is considered a veteran of the court. He thinks that no prince is good enough. He belongs to the neutral faction. He has a weird temper. He is the only one who gets closer to Dali Siqing. When he heard this, he blew his beard and said, " Dedicated to duty? Is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials illiterate? As a disaster relief envoy, he dares to be greedy for money for disaster relief. Is this called devotion to duty? Even the Dali Temple ministers dare not say that they are dedicated to their duties, which is really a great face!"

Jing Zhaoyin usually always "speaks outrageous words", and the ministers in the court are used to it. The emperor was a little embarrassed when he heard this, but he was not angry.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was so stunned that his face was livid, and the hand holding the Yahu was shaking with anger, but he couldn't utter a word.

Seeing this, the governor of the Southern Three States came forward to say good things for the second prince, "Reporting to the emperor, the second highness now knows that he has made a mistake, and even took out the money from the mansion to put it into the treasury, which shows that the second highness sincerely corrected his mistakes. As the saying goes, knowing There is nothing good that can be corrected! Please be lenient to the emperor."

The governor of the Southern Three Provinces looks like a rogue-headed rat, but with his cunning and sophistication, he also climbed to the second prince's high branch. He is a grasshopper on the same boat as the second prince. As long as the second prince does not fall, he will always have a place in the court, so Every time, he spared no room to seek benefits for the second prince. To put it nicely, he is the second prince's right-hand man, but to put it badly, he is a mad dog under the second prince's family.

Seven or eight ministers of the Second Prince's Party knelt together and shouted, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

The call echoed in the vast hall, and it took a long time for the lingering sound to dissipate.

The gray-haired emperor on the dragon chair secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Although the second child was useless, he was still his son. Now that someone stood up to intercede, it wouldn't be too ugly, just go down the steps.

So the emperor turned his eyes to the second prince and said, "Since that's the case, I want all the ministers to intercede for you. As long as you take out the Cangzhou disaster relief money intact, I will forget the past, how about it?"

The second prince kowtowed gratefully, "I would like to obey my father's order, thank you so much for my father's forgiveness!"

Some people are happy that someone is worried.

Those pedantic and old-fashioned old officials were not happy anymore, and shook their heads holding their tooth wats.

The prince stepped forward and said, "The old minister thinks it is impossible. The emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. It is unfair for the emperor to deal with it so leniently. This move will chill the hearts of the people in Cangzhou. The old minister thinks that the palace and the mansion are all for the sake of justice." One body, whether it is fine or not, similarities and differences are not appropriate, if the emperor can't treat everyone equally, who will follow this etiquette in the future?"

The prince's grand teacher also belongs to the neutral party in the court. Although he is the prince's teacher, he does not have a deep relationship with the prince. He relies on his own profound knowledge to stand in the court. It is nothing more than seeing the emperor forgiving the second prince. It has nothing to do with which faction in the court to speak.

The words of the crown prince and grand master are terrible. Most of the neutral factions are headed by him. The current situation has become a confrontation between the experienced and prestigious veterans and the second prince.

The emperor's face was ashen, and he was a little sullen in his heart. He usually felt that these veterans were all shrewd, but why were they so blind at this time.

All of a sudden, the huge court fell silent. Everyone was waiting for the emperor to make a choice, but the emperor was waiting for someone to stand up and say something.

At this moment, Pei Mo, who had been staring at his toes, felt that it was time, and stood up unhurriedly and said, "Report to the emperor, I think there are still doubts about this matter, so it's better to reopen the case."

These endless words made all the officials confused and looked at Pei Mo in surprise.

The emperor asked suspiciously, "What does Pei Aiqing say?"

"Back to the emperor, I feel that the second prince was wronged. In fact, the person who was greedy for ink and disaster relief money was not the second prince. The person who was really greedy for ink has been arrested by this official. I hope the emperor will order a retrial of the case and return the second prince's innocence."

Pei Mo spoke calmly, no matter what kind of turmoil his words caused in other people's hearts.

The expressions on the faces of the people in the court hall were colorful, the second princeling's face was surprised and incredulous, the princeling's face was dignified, others were doubtful or indifferent, it didn't matter, the important thing was that the emperor felt relieved.
