After feeding the exiled criminals, she was forced to reveal herself

Chapter 140 The situation suddenly changed overnight

Overnight, the situation in Beijing suddenly changed.

The cold breath quietly blew into the backyards of many famous families.

Ruan Wenzhi received Li Shaoqing, the imperial eunuch, late at night. The two stayed up all night in the study. Several letters of request left the minister's house one after another and were sent to various friendly homes in Beijing.

"Master Ruan's kindness is as great as a mountain, and I don't know how to repay it. If Master Ruan can be of any use to me in the future, I will do my best!"

Ruan Weizhi waved his hands and said indifferently: "Don't take it personally, Mr. Li Lang. The king's prison is in trouble, and I, Ruan Weizhi, will do my best to save you. This is the past of kindness between me and your mentor. You don't need to worry about it. He is in prison. Since I asked you to come to me, you don't want to leave tonight. You will stay in the house for the time being and wait for the news from the palace after dawn. " Ruan Hezhi said for the sake of Li Shaoqing's safety.

Li Shaoqing bowed and said, "Young master alone, Shaoqing, makes the decision."

Ruan Wenzhi nodded and called the housekeeper to the house, "Take Mr. Li to rest and settle down."

"Yes, sir." The butler responded, bowed to Li Shaoqing and said, "Master Li, please!"

Li Shaoqing said goodbye to Ruan Aizhi again: "I'm going to retire."

Ruan Huizhi nodded.

Li Shaoqing went to the side yard to rest with the housekeeper of the Shilang Mansion. After a simple wash, he lay on the bed unable to sleep at all.

The scene where the prison guard Wang Yu was taken away by the imperial army reappeared before his eyes. In Wang Yu's desperation, he rushed back and said with his lips: go find Ruan Weizhi.

Li Shaoqing wanted to ask a few more questions about the reason, but was stopped by Wang Yu's eyes at that moment.

A thunder awakened the unstoppable destiny; a bolt of lightning ignited the raging fire in the darkness.

Li Shaoqing seemed to see some kind of "elephant" on this night when the emperor and stars appeared, which further confirmed the worries he and Wang Yu exchanged on the observatory.

He couldn't sleep, so he got up and walked out of the house, walking quietly in the yard.

There are crows calling in the trees.

Li Shaoqing's mind moved and he silently counted a few crow sounds.

At this time, two servants passed by outside the courtyard wall. He carefully identified them and found that they were a man and a woman.

Looking up at the sky, there happened to be a bright moon emerging from the dark clouds.

A dark light flashed in Li Shaoqing's eyes, and he immediately stood on the spot, using the sounds of crows, the voices of people in the universe, and the hexagrams he heard when the moon came out of the clouds to make predictions.

Heavenly fire approaches the palace, and Suzaku becomes angry.

Wang Yu, the supervisor of Qin Tian Supervisor, calculated that Li Shaoqing would suffer a disaster of some magnitude, but he did not foresee the changes in his own body in advance.

Li Shaoqing was worried about his mentor, and the results of the hexagram made him feel relieved.

Judging from the results, Wang Yu's disaster was filled with hidden blessings and disasters. Although it was dangerous, he was able to turn the danger around in the end.

Since there is no fear of life, in Li Shaoqing's view, those losses due to luck are not worth mentioning.

No wonder Lord Wang asked him to look for Lord Ruan.

"We really can't stay in this capital any longer." Thinking of Wang Yu's previous advice, Li Shaoqing finally understood this time. When the fate of heaven and earth changes, even if a person has the ability to master the heavens, he still needs to follow the trend in order to have a good ending.

After Wang Yu's beloved disciple was settled, Ruan Hezhi called his son to him, "I have asked the servants in the house to send out several other letters. There is another letter in my father's hand. If you don't feel comfortable handing it to someone else, please take it with you personally." If you go to deliver a message, it must be delivered to the wise king before tomorrow!"

Ruan Peining took the letter from his father, Ruan Weizhi, and nodded heavily, "Don't worry, father! I will personally deliver it to His Highness the King Xian!"

"The old prince is not in the capital now. He is recuperating outside. You go to the stables and choose some good horses. As soon as the city gate opens early in the morning, leave as soon as possible. Don't delay on the way." After the instructions, he handed over a jade ring that Li Shaoqing brought when he came. Ruan Peining, "His Royal Highness the King Xian once promised Wang Yu a princely decree. Now that the emperor's temperament is unstable and Wang Yu's safety is unpredictable, His Highness the King Xian will probably reach out to give Mr. Wang a hand when he sees this token. However, if the old Highness is also in trouble, If so, then we can only think of other ways.”

Ruan Peining put the things away and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult for my father to handle the meeting tomorrow."

"It doesn't matter. My father is still in charge of the minister, so it won't be a big deal for the time being. But you should go and come back quickly. Don't be afraid of being delayed for a day or two on government errands. It won't be easy to deal with after a long time."

"The child knows."

"Go ahead and pick some smart people."

After his son Ruan Peining left, the housekeeper settled down with Li Shaoqing and came back to reply.

Ruan Ezhi asked: "Master Li, have you made arrangements?"

"Replying to the master, everything is settled for Mr. Li, but Mr. Li seems to be too worried and has no appetite. All the meals have been taken away, leaving only a pot of hot water and a few snacks.

Ruan Wenzhi nodded: "Master Wang has been sent to prison. I guess he has no appetite, so let him be."

Mrs. Ruan waited until her husband had finished explaining everything, and then she took her maid to bring warm soup.

"Master, after you're done, let's drink some warm soup to replenish your body."

The maid put down the hot soup, Mrs. Ruan waved her hand, and the maid stepped back.

The couple sat down around the table, and while Mrs. Ruan was serving the soup, Ruan Hezhi sighed and said, "From tomorrow onwards, people in the house will be asked not to walk around casually. If someone invites you recently, please do so if you can." "

Mrs. Ruan placed a bowl of warm soup in front of her husband and sat down beside him.

"What's wrong? Things in the palace are serious?"

Ruan Wenzhi blew on the soup noodles and took a sip, "A few days ago, after the court meeting ended, I met Wang Yu and saw that he seemed to have a sad look on his face. I invited him to have a drink and dinner outside the palace. He was also absent-minded. I asked him if he had any questions. He didn't say anything about what was on his mind, he just kept sighing. At that time, I didn't think much about it. "

When Mrs. Ruan saw that her husband had seen the soup base in his bowl, she gave him another spoonful and heard a voice saying, "Then there were signs that he was in trouble today?"

"I can't say for sure." Ruan Wenzhi thought for a while while drinking, "When the Xie family was ransacked and imprisoned, I looked for him. After all, he was in Qintian Prison, and he could say a word or two about the gods of the Xie family. , but that time, he just shook his head and said that there was nothing he could do about it. I guess the emperor’s mind had already been made up.”

"When the Xie family was convicted, Mr. Wang gave me a message in private, saying that my family still had some luck and would not fall into despair. The court was almost full of quarrels over the death penalty and the punishment, and there was no decree from the emperor. I was at that time Although I feel relieved, I can't sleep or eat well even if the imperial edict is not fulfilled. Who would have thought that in the end, it was Wang Yu who made the final decision to change the death penalty to exile."

Thinking of what happened before, Ruan Weizhi couldn't help but sigh.

Mrs. Ruan, Mrs. Sun, thought for a while and asked, "Is it okay for you to leave Mr. Li from Qin Tianjian in the mansion?"

Ruan Ezhi shook his head and said: "No problem. Mr. Li is young and has just started his official career. He is just an official in Qin Tianjian, and the emperor should not care about it. Wang Yu mentioned this person to me before, saying that although he is young, he is He has extraordinary talent, but lacks experience. If he made no mistakes this year, I wanted to promote him to the position of chief bookkeeper next year, but now it seems that this matter is probably going to fail. "
