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

Chapter 141 Leave some incense to the Xie family
"Wang Yu asked him to come to me, firstly to deliver a message, and secondly, I think he also wanted me to protect him."

Mrs. Ruan nodded, "It's not easy to come out of the palace so late."

Ruan Weizhi: "It is said that he came from the Xu family."

"Xu family?" Mrs. Ruan was slightly surprised, "Isn't the empress in Qingxi Palace injured?"

"Li Shaoqing said that the injury was not that serious, but that he was frightened. He specially hired someone to calm the mother down."

Mrs. Ruan said: "No wonder. It's also difficult for them. The nobles in the palace are frightened. With the imperial doctor by their side, there is no need for people from Qin Tianjian to go over and calm their nerves."

Ruan Hezhi nodded, "I thought so at first. Maybe there is some contact between Wang Yu and the Xu family."

"The Xu family has also been in the spotlight these past two days. I heard that the old man of the Xu family is ill and can't even go to the palace." Mrs. Ruan thought of the rumors she heard today and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, I heard people say that Xu The boy came back from the Jingwei Mansion after being injured. He has always had a close relationship with Liulang of the Xie family. Since he came back from Songjiang in the Jingwei Mansion, do you think he has met the Xie family? "

Ruan Ezhi raised his head and looked at his wife.

"Didn't the girl who married outside the Xu family be taken back to her parents' family? I have some interactions with the Xu family's wife. Tomorrow I will prepare some things and go to the Xu Mansion to visit and inquire about Anan and the others. What do you think, Master?" Mrs. Ruan Eyes light up.

"Isn't this... inappropriate? One is injured, and the other is divorced and returns home." Ruan Weizhi felt that this was an inconvenient moment, but he did not object.

Mrs. Ruan thought about it seriously, "Since Wang Yu asked Mr. Li to come to our house through the Xu family's connections, then the Xu family must also know about it. I will go and talk tomorrow. Maybe it is between you men. We can't do it right now." It’s easy to get in touch, but it’s not harmful for us women to talk to each other. If the palace is watching, I will think of a good excuse and make it look more like it. Isn’t that enough? "

Ruan Hezhi thought for a moment and said, "Be careful."

"I know how powerful I am. It's really not easy for the eldest daughter of the Xu family. I should go and see it for the sake of reason. I can help the female family members of the Xu family to support their appearance, so as to prevent other noble families from not wanting to get close to each other." Mrs. Ruan heard the sound and said with a smile. .

Ruan Wenzhi nodded, "Madam is still thoughtful."

"Well, I am also a mother. It's just about myself and others. They are all people who have daughters." Mrs. Ruan became extremely worried whenever she thought about her daughter who insisted on being exiled to the North with the Xie family.

"Let me just say that the dream I had tonight was strange. I was restless. I always felt that something big was about to happen." Mrs. Ruan murmured.

At this time, Ruan Weizhi also remembered that his wife was awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night. When he thought about what happened in the second half of the night, the expression on his face darkened a little and he sighed.

"The rain is coming and the wind is blowing all over the building."

The Duke Protector's Mansion fell overnight, and the fight between the factions in the court became more and more intense. It’s not yet the New Year’s Eve, and many people in the government have begun to argue about next year’s treasury transfers. It’s just nonsense!

Their staff, which is responsible for the appointment and dismissal of officials, could not escape the turmoil. The Xie family was in decline, and the vacancy in the northwest was like a piece of fat. Everyone was jealous when there were more wolves and less meat.

These days, he has been looking up and down, inside and outside the yamen, and he has become more and more cold-hearted.

When people leave, the tea cools down, that’s how things are.

Among those who were jumping up and down, there were many people who had taken care of the Xie family in every possible way. After the Xie family was in trouble, it was only human nature to turn to another master, but it was a pity...

How can a person who follows the wind be a kind person? When a favor is raised, a favor is fought with a grudge. Mr. Ruan watched helplessly as some people used the past events of the Xie family and even the future of people who were good friends with the Xie family to make investments. In order to get a promotion and make a fortune, he does not care about others and his family.

If Ruan Wenzhi and several colleagues who still had some power in the court had not spoken out and defended, I don't know how many people would have been implicated because of the Xie family's loss of power.

For this reason, Ruan Tao always worked hard for the safety of some low-level officials and soldiers, so he should have left a little incense for the Xie family.

The emperor's actions are becoming more and more unpredictable. Even if the Protector's Palace is an eyesore, there is no need to kill all the people and leave only a group of sycophants around. Where will the future of Liang be?

Although the Xie family has been in exile for many days, the lingering impression is still getting stronger.

Ruan Weizhi was exhausted from doing this errand and felt very powerless. "I wonder how long I, Ruan Wenzhi, can hold on in this court." The Minister of Servants sighed heavily, "I have no control over whether I am in the government or at home."

Mrs. Ruan said warmly: "If the master is tired, I would like to accompany my husband back to his hometown."

Ruan Ezhi laughed when he heard this. Although he knew that his wife was just reassuring him, he still felt warm in his heart when he had a wife like this.

"Let's take it one step at a time. Pei Ning is still in the court. If my father retires, who will protect him from the wind and rain? If he can't stand up in the past few years, how will he support Anan, Rui Ge'er and the others in the future. Let’s hang out in the court first.”

The couple talked late at night, and they were worried about their children.

After a lot of fussing in the second half of the night, no one needed to sleep.

Looking out of the pitch-black window, I could gradually see the courtyard. The dark sky began to light up little by little, and occasionally I could hear a few roosters crowing around me.

A sleepless night until the early morning of the next day.

Mrs. Ruan accompanied her husband to stay on the second day, and saw that the time was almost up. Although it was not yet dawn, it was already time to enter the palace and attend court.

After Ruan Wenzhi changed his court clothes, he entered the palace by car.

At the gate of Daliang Palace, carriages from various provinces lined up with lanterns in their hands early in the morning.

All the court officials dismounted from their horses and queued up to enter the palace, holding hand warmers against the cold wind.

There was a fire at Gyeonghuigong Palace last night.

Within half an hour, the news had already spread outside the palace.

Ruan Tao got off the carriage and came all the way from the back. Before he reached the palace gate for inspection, he heard several adults in front of him discussing the incident in the palace.

Compared with the incident that almost happened to the Emperor in the Qingxi Palace last night, the incident of Qintian Prisoner Wang Yu being sent to prison by the Emperor was inconspicuous.

Ruan Weizhi walked to the entrance of the palace, and after routinely letting the competent officials check and release, he heard the two officials from the same court behind him talking.

"I heard that the concubine of Gyeonghui Palace was injured on her face?"

"Where did you hear this news?"

"Well, I heard what the guys over there were saying."

After the two checked, they walked and talked. Ruan Meizhi looked at the palace man's expression, which was calm and dull, with no intention of reminding or stopping him.

His heart sank, and he had an intuition that the fire in Qingxi Palace in the court today might cause trouble.

The palace people and even the officials on duty silently indulged in the rumors in Gyeonghui Palace.

Ruan Hezhi was a little strange and thought to himself, why did the Xu family anger the Holy Emperor?

The officials from Daliang filed into the inner court.

Hundreds of civil and military officials were waiting inside and outside the Jinluan Hall, waiting under the starry sky until the emperor's footsteps could be heard.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live! Long live the Emperor!"
