Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 18: Hitting walls everywhere, she has no way to ask for help
The official on duty at the Ministry of Household Affairs was startled by the sudden arrival of a woman.

Shen Zian immediately put down his pen and stood up, saying in surprise: "Mingwei, why are you here?"

Shen Zian, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, was the grandfather of Bai Mingwei's sister-in-law Shen. He had a close relationship with Bai Weiyong, so he naturally knew Bai Mingwei.

Bai Mingwei knelt down and asked, "Sir, how is your grandfather doing?"

Most of the people who can handle official business in front of Shen Zian are Shen Zian's cronies, and there is no need to be shy in their conversations.

He waved a few people away, bent down and helped Bai Mingwei up: "Didn't the guards outside stop you?"

Bai Mingwei said: "No, Mingwei has already reached here, and no one has stopped him at the first few levels. Naturally, they will not be suspicious, and there is no need to stop Mingwei."

Shen Zian said: "I know everything about the Bai family. I was just contacting my colleagues to find a solution. If you don't stay at home, what are you going to do in the palace?"

Bai Ming said slightly: "I'll take grandpa back."

Shen Zian scolded: "Nonsense! Prime Minister Bai committed suicide by hitting a pillar in front of the emperor. According to the law, that is a definite death penalty."

"The best way at the moment is to use the iron coupon of the elixir to avoid death when His Majesty is questioning you. Maybe you can also get a glimmer of hope. If you enter the palace at this time, what if it backfires?"

Bai Mingwei's eyes were slightly red: "Sir, why doesn't Mingwei know about the problems that my grandfather is facing? But Mingwei also knows the methods above. They will not deal with my grandfather in an aboveboard way. The simplest way is to put him in jail first."

"My grandfather is old and sick, and has been traumatized. The weather is getting colder and colder now. I'm afraid he won't be able to survive a few days in prison. What can he do even if he has the iron book of elixirs?"

"So I must bring my grandfather back. Only in this way can the Bai family have hope."

Shen Zian knew what Bai Mingwei meant, and he had no choice but to say: "Your Majesty is furious and has seized on Prime Minister Bai. In addition, there are villains who are adding insult to injury. This is a dead end. I and others are helpless, so what can you do?"

Bai Mingwei had never shed a tear all the way here, but when she heard Shen Zian say this with her own ears, the tears she had been suppressing in the face of desperate situation burst out at this moment.

She stretched out her hand to wipe it off and said word by word: "The Bai family's poetry and etiquette are passed down to the family, but they are proud and proud. Even if I am shattered to pieces today, I will not let my grandfather die in humiliation. Even if it is really difficult to escape death, my grandfather will also Walk in an upright and aboveboard manner!"

Shen Zian was anxious: "Why didn't you listen to my advice? If Prime Minister Bai leaves, if His Majesty involves you again, he will be condemned by everyone in the world. Prime Minister Bai also wants to protect the whole family of women and children with his own body."

"You broke in so impulsively, didn't you let his thoughts go to waste? At a time of life and death, you can't act based on your own whims, you have to think about the young and old at home. I will send you back now."

Bai Ming shook his head slightly, with a very firm look on his face: "I won't leave unless I can bring my grandfather back. Sir, how is my grandfather's condition?"

Shen Zian said: "This is all thanks to a chamberlain father-in-law named Xiao Xizi. He awakened the conscience of many people with his life. At the request of all ministers, Your Majesty agreed to the doctor Xuan Yu to diagnose and treat Bai Xiang. At this time, Bai Xiang was The situation in the side hall is unknown."

Bai Mingwei's heart felt like it was being pulled hard again and again by a devil's claw. She choked and said, "Sir, can you take me to see my grandfather?"

Shen Zian said: "There is absolutely nothing we can do today. Before you came, I contacted everyone to plead for mercy, but it made His Majesty Long Yan furious. If I do anything else at this moment, I'm afraid it will harm the Prime Minister. Ming Wei, haste leads to haste. If not, this matter needs to be carefully planned and planned.”

Bai Mingwei saluted seriously: "Thank you, sir, for speaking up for your grandfather. Mingwei would like to thank you."

Shen Zian then advised: "I will send you back before you attract anyone's attention. Listen to me once. Go home and stay well. Keep the people in the house under restraint and don't mess around."

"It's up to me and all my colleagues to save Prime Minister Bai. It's not like you, a woman, have to run around to save people."

Bai Mingwei's tone was very firm: "Mingwei appreciates your kindness. If my grandfather is healthy, Mingwei believes that given time, you can help my grandfather return home safely."

"However, my grandfather's life and death are unknown. If we continue to wait, we will just sit and wait for death. Mingwei must bring his grandfather back today. Sir, please forgive Mingwei for being rude and say goodbye."

Shen Zian looked at Bai Ming's retreating back with a helpless expression: "This girl is really as stubborn as his grandfather. Your Majesty is so angry right now. It's useless to do anything. At least we have to wait until His Majesty's anger subsides!"

The subordinate officer walked in and asked: "Sir, what should I do?" Shen Zian sighed for a long time: "If you want your ministers to die, they have to die. This is a dead situation. There is no way to solve it. The only thing we can do is to look for opportunities. , try to protect the whole family of women and children from being implicated."

The subordinate officer continued: "That Miss Bai..."

Shen Zian said: "She has made up her mind. It doesn't matter if she hits a wall. If she doesn't experience despair, she won't give up willingly."

The official is silent. Is the cost of recognizing the reality his life?

What a girl.

On the other side, Bai Mingwei left the place where Liubu was on duty and took Cheng Bi to the palace where Taifu was on duty.

This time, Bai Mingwei encountered obstacles because her appearance in the Sixth Department had quietly spread.

None of those who were wise to protect themselves, those who were weak-minded, and those who added insult to injury wanted to have anything to do with her.

Not reporting her immediately was the greatest mercy on their part.

The guard blocked Bai Mingwei's way: "Master is busy with official duties and doesn't see anyone. Please go back!"

Bai Mingwei had expected such a result.

People in the world seek good fortune and avoid misfortune, and few people will go all out for other people's affairs. What's more, this is a place of power where the officialdom is ups and downs, and if you make a mistake, you will die without a burial place.

However, Bai Mingwei did not give up, and simply acted rogue: "Please tell me that the eldest daughter of the Bai family wants to see you. I just want to see the Taifu, and it won't waste too much time. If the Taifu doesn't see you, I will wait here." gone."

The guard was unmoved and stood still blocking her.

Bai Mingwei stood seriously at the door of the palace where the Tutor was on duty, her eyes full of stubbornness that would not give up until she reached her goal, as if she would really not leave if the Tutor saw her.

Time passes by bit by bit, like sand between fingers.

half an hour...

An hour passed.

Bai Mingwei still stood there.

When the Taifu in the room heard that people were still waiting outside, he stroked his beard and couldn't help but become confused: "I rarely interact with the Prime Minister, how could she ask for help from me?"

"And she hasn't left after waiting for so long. This girl's behavior is really confusing. She is modeled after Bai Xiang."

Chang Sui advised: "My lord, I think you should meet her. If she continues to stand for such a long time, when the matter is spread to the superiors, I am afraid that the superiors will think that your lord is related to Bai Xiang. Otherwise, the eldest daughter of the Bai family I won’t wait so long just to see you, sir.”

The Taifu sighed: "So what if I see you? I am powerless in regard to Prime Minister Bai. Who let the men of the Bai family and [-] soldiers die?"

"In this officialdom, if you don't seek merit, you are afraid of making mistakes. And the Bai family not only made a mistake, but also made a big mistake, and there is nothing they can do about it."

Chang Sui added: "My lord is powerless, so why don't you refuse face to face so that the eldest daughter of the Bai family can give up? I feel that the eldest daughter of the Bai family is weak, so asking her to stand up will not be easy for you, right?" "

The Taifu pondered for a moment and said: "In that case, let her come in. I will reject her personally."
