The little lady in the palace

Chapter 125 Guilty
Prince Liang's Mansion.

Prince Lu wiped his cold sweat when he entered the main hall, and asked Prince Liang, "Seventh Brother, Sixth Brother, did you also send a message to you? What do you mean by Brother Huang? Why did you find our brothers? You can't trust us?"

The two brothers have been taking over the East and West factories for some time. At first, they thought it was a hot potato. After a long time, they got used to it. But now they suddenly heard that Jin Yiwei is coming to investigate, and the reason is related to the emperor's eldest son's illness. , the two became tense again.

Prince Liang didn't know what to do, so he pondered for a while, then shook his head: "Probably not. If Brother Huang really doesn't trust us, why would Sixth Brother dare to inform us in advance? From this point of view, it's probably just a routine thing?"

He paused while speaking, and then continued: "Besides, didn't you even check the house of the emperor's sister-in-law?"

That makes sense.

It is not clear why Jin Yiwei suddenly started a thorough investigation of the clan and nobles in Beijing, but the first ones they found were not the two princes, but the Fu family of the empress's mother's family, and the princess mansion of the emperor's only daughter, Princess Duanrou.

So maybe they really don't need to be too nervous?
Prince Lu was a little relieved, and said after pondering: "Then is there anything we need to prepare in advance?"

"What is there to prepare for?" Prince Liang said to him, "Do you have anything in the west factory that you are afraid of showing Brother Six and Brother Huang? Anyway, I don't have it here."

Prince Lu glared at him and hurriedly said, "Me neither."

Even if this topic ends here, the two of them chatted about other matters of the two factories. It was not the major headache in the first few months. There was only one trouble on both sides, and it was not big. , It is not small to say the least.

"Hey, people's hearts are not in harmony." Prince Lu sighed when he mentioned this matter, "This used to be a place to make money, and all the eunuchs in the palace wanted to get in touch with here. Now it's good, and those who used to get in with are afraid of it." To cause trouble, everyone wants to find a way to return home quickly, and they all want to let people go through my mouth... Seventh brother, you say that I am a prince, and I open my mouth every day to release the eunuchs in the palace, is this appropriate?"

"Hey, your west factory is like this. Think about what my east factory is like now?" Prince Liang shook his head, "Anyway, we can't take care of this matter. The emperor asked us to untie the East and West Factory in order not to let the eunuch If you get older, you have to get rid of all the relationships that should be cleared up, just ignore them."

Both of them also know that "don't pay attention to them" is easy to say, but it is not so easy to do.Not to mention anything else, just because someone comes to see you every day, is it annoying to hear?

But thinking about it, they were looking forward to Sixth Brother bringing someone to investigate.

In those few months when the eunuchs were cleaned, the sixth brother's Jin Yiwei was the most ruthless, and now the eunuchs all walk around when they see Jin Yiwei.If they are investigated here, the people who came to see them in an endless stream will stop for a while, they must be afraid that they will be messed with!

Prince Yi's Mansion.

While helping Meng Junhuai blow the porridge, Yuyin shook her head and sighed: "Oh, it's too miserable..."

Meng Junhuai glared at her: "You can do it, you mean it, right?"

Now the younger generation has passed the filial piety period, but they are still wearing filial piety.Normally, I can only eat some vegetarian food, but now the sword hurts the internal organs, so even the vegetarian food can only be eaten as porridge or noodles.

So the recuperation was really miserable... But he just didn't want to hear Yu Yin say it so "blatantly"!
Yu Yin pursed her lips and smiled, and asked him while feeding him porridge, "Do you think the recovery will be very slow?"

He couldn't help choking on the porridge he ate, and glared at her after swallowing it: "Can't you wish me well?"

"I said it's slow to raise, but I didn't say it's not good." She fed him again, "I just want you to stay in Beijing for a while. It's the hottest time now, and it's too hard to travel around."

This is also like a personal word.

After being fed two more mouthfuls by her, Meng Junhuai was still not used to the state of "laying on the bed like a waste", so he reached out to take the bowl and eat by himself: "I'll do it."

"No, I'll come." Yuyin was addicted to feeding, and when he avoided it, he suddenly lowered his voice: "Give it to me quickly, Mingjing is here!"

Yu Yin: "..."

She turned her head and saw that the nanny was indeed carrying Ming Jing in, so she handed him the bowl as she said.

Right now, he loves this little daughter very much, and he is extremely unwilling to show his weakness in front of her. On this point, Yu Yin feels that he must defend him!

It wasn't until the nanny approached that Yu Yin found out that Ming Jing was sobbing.

"Crying again." She hugged Ming Jing, scraped her face and laughed at her, "Your father has only been back for a few days, every day I see you crying, can we stop crying?"

"Woo..." Ming Jing pointed to Meng Junhuai with red eyes, "Daddy hurts."

Yu Yin was dumb.She put Ming Jing on the bed, and Ming Jing burrowed into the quilt, and touched Bai Lian who was wrapped around Meng Junhuai's belly, her voice became even more aggrieved: "It hurts!"

Meng Junhuai lifted the quilt and poked his head in to talk to her: "It doesn't hurt, Ming Jing won't cry, be good."

"It hurts..." Ming Jing sobbed and fell on top of him, her little face with tears in her eyes was pitiful.

Hey little girl...

Yuyin felt left out!
During these days when Meng Junhuai was not around, Ming Jing was especially entangled with her.No matter where she goes every day, Ming Jing will go with her nanny in her arms.As a result, as soon as Meng Junhuai came back, Ming Jing started pestering him instead!

Yesterday, when Meng Junhuai changed his dressing and wiped his body, someone took Ming Jing out, and Ming Jing was crying in the west room, and Yu Yin couldn't coax her away!
Yuyin also lifted the quilt to look at her, with a stern face: "Come out! Mother is upset!"

Ming Jing had tears in her eyes, she sucked her fingers and looked at her.

Yu Yinhu smirked: "Hurry up and coax mother, otherwise mother will not sleep with you in the future."

Meng Junhuai: "..."

He squinted at her: "She's not yet one year old, are you embarrassed?"

After the words fell, Ming Jing, who was lying on him, stretched out her little hand, pointed at Yu Yin and said firmly, "Mother is beautiful! The most beautiful!"

Yu Yin was satisfied.

Meng Junhuai: "..."

Mingjing, you little man!
Is it okay to be so talkative now and grow up? !

The three of them just spent time in the bedroom until noon.At noon, the children who were studying in the front house returned to the back, and Ah Li also came, and ran into the house and said to Meng Junhuai, "Father, my cousin said he has something to ask for you."

"You Zexu?" Seeing Ah Li nodding, he looked at the eunuch beside him, "Didn't you tell him to come directly to the main courtyard?"

"The slave said it, but Mr. You said that it is not convenient for him to come to the main courtyard, so..."

"It's nothing inconvenient. Tell him, His Highness's injury is better not to move." Yu Yin got up after speaking, "Let him come over, I'll go to the west room to avoid it."

Meng Junhuai frowned, and pulled her hand: "Your main courtyard, what are you avoiding? He is a junior, I don't know where he got so many rules." He said, "Tell him to come directly, just to have dinner together .”

Yuyin didn't go to Westinghouse anymore, and You Zexu arrived after a while, but saw that his face was pale, and there was a lot of dust on the flying fish clothes.

"What's wrong with you?" Meng Junhuai asked him.

"Your Highness, I..." You Zexu's trembling eyes flicked across the room quickly, and then lowered again, "You asked me to check the eunuch's recent entry and exit records, I..."

He lowered his head subconsciously: "I... lost a book."

There was a sudden silence in the room.

Meng Junhuai was shocked: "What did you say?"

"I was not careful!" You Zexu argued anxiously, "I was riding a horse in a hurry and almost kicked a child playing in the middle of the road. The man and the horse all fell down, and I was in a hurry to continue on my way, so I didn't pay attention to check it, and when I arrived at the mansion, I found that one book was missing."

Meng Junhuai restrained his anger and looked at him: "Do you know that any book may have exactly what we want to check?"

"I know." You Zexu didn't dare to raise his head, he was so anxious that tears came out, he wiped it carelessly, and said, "I went back and looked for it once, but I didn't find it..."

"Do you know what the consequences will be if that book falls into the hands of those eunuchs!" Meng Junhuai's anger became clearer, "They will immediately know what we are looking for, and it will be easy to cut this line first!"

You Zexu lowered his head and didn't dare to say a word, Meng Junhuai couldn't help it, he sighed heavily: "You go to the palace to apologize!"

"Your Highness..." You Zexu panicked for a moment, then his eyes calmed down from the panic, and at the same time dimmed, "Yes."

Meng Junhuai held back his anger, and sighed again: "Forget it, I'll take you there."

He wanted to save You Zexu's life, but when he said this, Yuyin panicked: "Wait?!"

She looked at him in surprise: "It's still like this after a few days of raising him, it's because of the bumpy road, you still want to bump into the palace?!"

As she spoke, her eyes wandered between the two of them, and she said: "I'll take him there, if it doesn't work, I'll invite my brother."

"Let me go." Meng Junhuai braced himself to get out of bed, "Your brother is busy with other things, so you have to deal with this irregularity."

"Then I'll take your son there!" Yu Yin blurted out.

Meng Junhuai: "..."

He looked at her amusedly, but she was serious: "Don't go anywhere until you are ready. I'll just talk less when I enter the palace, and let him speak for himself."

"...my injury is not that serious."

"That won't work either." Yu Yin glared at him, "That's it. Shan Shan, get ready for the carriage; Ah Zuo, hurry up and eat, and the concubine mother will take you into the palace in the afternoon."

Coral answered "Yes", and A Zuo obediently said yes.Meng Junhuai thought about it, but he didn't argue with her anymore - she was so persistent, it would sound like flirting if she continued to argue.In front of You Zexu, it was inappropriate.

So after they had their meal, they took a short rest before boarding the carriage into the palace.

In this matter, it is true that Yu Yin is afraid that Meng Junhuai will be hurt again, but besides that, she also has a little selfishness - didn't her brother accept You Zexu as an apprentice?This is to make Concubine You calm down.And she was thinking that it would be good if she could get closer to You Zexu. After all, You Zexu is in Jinyiwei. Although he is only a general banner now, his official position in the future should not be low.Then what if Concubine You accidentally takes the ambition again?No threat is annoying!

It would be great if You Zexu could help her and A Zuo at that time, or if he could not help both sides because he couldn't get rid of his affection.

Yu Yin has such a thought of "calculating carefully", and wants to win over You Zexu intentionally.But after staying in the carriage for a while, she didn't care much about this idea.

She found that You Zexu was actually an older child.

On the way, she took Ah Zuo in the carriage, and You Zexu rode the horse by himself.She opened the curtain a few times and saw him wiping tears while riding the horse at least half of the time.Think about it, too, such a big matter, maybe how the emperor will deal with it in a while.You Zexu is only seventeen this year, so it must be a lie to say that he is not afraid at all, Zuo just didn't want to show it in front of others.

So after getting off the carriage at the gate of the palace, Yuyin coaxed him a few words: "Don't be afraid, His Highness won't let you enter the palace by yourself, just to help you block this matter, and I will help you too." Just talking. The emperor wants to punish you, so we will accept the punishment. But if you want to say that you lost your life because of this, that’s not enough."

From Yu Yin's point of view, You Zexu was at fault for this matter, but it is definitely not enough to call it a capital crime.In the final analysis, he was trying to avoid a child - if he really rushed over and killed the child without hesitation, it would be a problem if he got killed.In this link, he can be forgiven. As for the fact that he forgot to check on the spot because of his negligence later on...then he can only confess his guilt obediently.

You Zexu nodded, his voice weak.After a moment of silence, he plucked up his courage and said, "Princess, can you...can you speak nice words to Master for me? I'm afraid he won't teach me anymore if he knows about it. I'm not afraid of anything else!"

Are you afraid of this? !

Yu Yin couldn't help smiling, knowing her brother's temper, she agreed without worry.

Then the three of them walked to Qianqing Palace together. A Zuo looked up at You Zexu as he walked, and persuaded him decently: "Don't cry, you lost something, but in order to save people, Uncle Huang will not be angry." of!"

Ah Zuo heard from her sister about Uncle Huang.My sister said that if Uncle Huang hadn't spoken in person, they would have been vegetarian for a year.

Ah Zuo still remembers the feeling of eating vegetarian food for a few days, and he dare not even think about eating it for a year.

So from that moment on, Ah Zuo decided in his heart: Uncle Huang is a very good person!

At the gate of Qianqing Palace, the eunuch invited them into the palace after reporting.After the three of them entered the palace gate, they met the ceremony, and the emperor ordered him to waive the ceremony. Seeing You Zexu wearing a flying fish suit, and seeing Yuyin, a married woman...with a child, they were a little puzzled: "Is this for business or not?" private matter?"

"Business. The prince is injured and cannot enter the palace, so the concubine and the son will bring him with him." Yu Yin bowed, then looked at You Zexu, motioning for him to say.

You Zexu bit the bullet and told the whole story, his voice rang alone in the hall, and also spread to the side hall.

In the side hall, Princess Duanrou, who was listening to her brother's homework, suddenly made a silent gesture.

The eldest son of the emperor was taken aback: "What?"

Meng Yujing pointed outside: "This voice sounds familiar to me. It's the general banner of Jinyiwei...does something happen?"

Meng Shijin also listened attentively, and heard that the people talking outside had covered the incident of avoiding the children, and then went on to explain in detail how they found out that things were lost, and how they went back to find if they were found.

Meng Shiying's first reaction was - this person is not smart.

Such "honest" only talking about the mistakes, isn't it to screw yourself to death?

Pulling his eyes back, he saw that his younger sister was smiling... Something was wrong?

She was sitting on the embroidered pier next to his couch, with her elbows resting on the couch, her hand resting on her chin, smiling and listening to the sounds outside, she was obviously fascinated, because even her eyes became a little blurred.

"Yu Jing?" The eldest son of the emperor shook his hand in front of her eyes, Yu Jing suddenly came back to his senses, and he smiled, "What's wrong with you? This face is full of spring."

"What are you talking about!" Yu Jing pushed him angrily, but the next moment she blushed, revealing the girl's thoughts.

But before Meng Shijin had time to make fun of her, a sentence of angry reprimand poured into the hall completely wiped out her embarrassment!

"Come here, drag out the sixty sticks, and put them in the imperial prison for questioning at Dali Temple!"
