The little lady in the palace

Chapter 135
In the wing room, You Zexu listened to his subordinates report on the recent events, thought about it in detail, and wrote notes.

He hadn't done this before.The last time he left the capital was the prince and the thousands of households above him. He was the general banner, and he was doing errand work. He was asked to talk about his ideas all of a sudden, which made him rack his brains.

Therefore, he deleted, deleted, revised and revised this notebook, and it took a full three hours to write it.After transcribing it, I read it again carefully, and thought it should be ok, so I took it out the door.

He didn't even notice that it was late at night, and the guards at Prince Yi's door only said that he had something important to report and didn't stop him. He pushed the door and went in to the east room, walked around the screen and saw that Prince Yi was asleep before responding. Come here, but it's too late.

Meng Junhuai was awakened by the sound of footsteps, and looked at him with a frown: "Zexu?"

"Your Highness, I..." You Zexu stood at the door with cold sweat dripping down his back, "I didn't know His Highness was asleep, so..."

Meng Junhuai fixed his eyes on the hand holding the booklet, and said a little funny: "It's okay, let's take a look."

You Zexu submitted the notebook with a heavy heart, and waited quietly with his head down. He couldn't help thinking over and over again in his mind what he had written and whether there was anything wrong with it. He was much more nervous than being asked about his homework by his husband. up.

Meng Junhuai read down carefully line by line, and was slightly delayed in the middle of the reading: "Do you think we are too cautious in our actions?"

"I..." You Zexu stopped breathing for a moment.

There is a paragraph in him that expresses that Jinyiwei has been in Jinguan City for so long, and there is no movement there, which means that they are not as observant as rumors say, so Jinyiwei does not necessarily have to use secret investigations all the time. Sometimes you can relax a little bit, and go a little bit on the bright side, which may be more conducive to investigating the matter.

But let the prince translate it like this...

You Zexu wanted to explain, "I didn't mean it that way," but Meng Junhuai said, "I've been thinking about it during the day. I've gained a lot recently but not much is useful. Maybe I should at least talk to the local officials and let them Assist one or two."

He said and thought for a while, then smiled intently, and said: "That's a good point. I'll take a closer look at the rest tomorrow, and let the few thousand households who came along discuss it. Thank you for your hard work. Dry."

"Thank you, Your Highness!" You Zexu's instant joy was written all over his face.Meng Junhuai asked him a few more words, and asked him to step down.

After You Zexu left, Meng Junhuai was silent for a while without any sleepiness.

He also saw another suggestion in the booklet, and You Zexu felt that he should use the influence of Xie's family to help.The reason is obvious, because many officials in Jinguan City have been promoted by the Xie family. If the Xie family is willing to come forward, let alone find out what happened, it probably won't be too difficult to clean it up in one fell swoop.

Someone mentioned this matter before, and the reason why he dismissed it at that time was because that Qianhu spoke too badly.The thousand households said that there are too many people in the Xie family who are not paid, and all of them have high titles.Now that the state affairs are at the top of the list, the Xie family should also do some practical things.

If he agreed at that time, it would be equivalent to acquiescing to this statement in his heart.But in fact, he knew very well what was going on with the Xie family. They had always been unwilling to take the path of "prosperity and decline".Now is the time for that "for a while", and even so, they have made a lot of effort secretly.

If you want to invite them out of the mountain now... They probably won't refuse because of Yu Yin's face, but that may not be a good thing.It is reasonable for the Xie family to stick to this prudent and self-protecting method, and he is not qualified to break it.

Thinking of this, Meng Junhuai couldn't help but sneered.

No matter how he said that this was for the sake of the entire Xie clan, and it was not easy for him to say this, he could not deny that in the end it was just about Yu Yin.It is reasonable to say that he shouldn't have such selfishness when the state affairs are at the top of his head, but where can he let it go?

I haven't seen her for another two months.

Meng Junhuai took a short breath and simply got up.He thought about it for a while, then sat down at the desk and wrote the letter, picking and choosing, putting aside the danger and picking interesting things to write, while writing, thinking about how she might react when she read the letter.

On the east side of Jinguan City, a mansion is dimly lit.

The plaque hanging on the house reads "Qian Mansion", but if you look carefully, there is a dot in the upper right corner of the word "Qian", which probably means "a little more money", which shows that the owner of the house is a person who loves money.

Now the sound coming from the courtyard of the man who loves money is not the melodious sound of gold, silver and copper coins, but the shrill screams.

The man kneeling in the courtyard was in his early thirties, and the blood stains all over his body showed that he had been severely tortured.A few steps away from him, Qian Wuye, who was over half a century old, stood with his hands behind his back, looked at him coldly, and snorted coldly.

The kneeling man wiped the blood from his face, and while calling to Master, he walked up on his knees and begged in horror, "Master... please forgive me this time! I won't dare again! Don't dare again!"

"Hmph, forgive you?" Qian Wuye looked at him indifferently, his shrill voice sounded extremely cold in the night, "If I don't invite these guys to pry your mouth, you still won't say it. Now If you know how to beg for mercy, do you know how much trouble you have caused!"

"Master, Master..." The man's face was as pale as paper, and he argued, "I also have good intentions! I was afraid, afraid that Prince Yi would really touch us when he touched us, so I wanted to do it once and for all! Master, I was confused for a while, please forgive me. This time, Master!"

"Once and for all!" Qian Wuye slapped him on the face angrily, "He is a clan member! A relative of the emperor! You want to kill him once and for all? It's a good thing he didn't die! If he really died on the road, you Whether master or master wants to accompany you on the road to hell!"

The man's strength was exhausted, and he fell to the ground for a long time after being hit by this slap.

Qian Wuye continued to reprimand: "Your wings are so hard that you dare to make up your mind, don't you? Don't look at who gave you these! Anyone who can come to this world to enjoy happiness and have fun, who hasn't been in the palace for five or six years?" Ten to come here? Wei Yulin was allowed to come here when he reached that position, and the master didn't allow him to come here! You can come here just after thirty, and you are allowed to marry a wife and adopt a child to continue your incense. Who are you entrusting? blessing!"

"Thank you... thanks to Master and Master!" The man didn't dare to hesitate, and after barely recovering, he stood up again and hugged Qian Wuye's thigh, "Master, this disciple will remember the lesson this time." !You are merciful, I, I will be a cow and a horse in the future to support you until the end of your life..."

"Bah!" Qian Wuye cut off his words, stretched out his hand to tug at his ear, "I'm not going to miss you, a prodigal who doesn't have a good eye! Don't beg me today, to tell you the truth, it's your master." If you sent it in person, we only know about it because your master said it himself! I, Qian Wu, have never been so humiliated in front of a group of senior brothers, and today I let you throw it all away!"

At the end of his speech, he actually smiled.The smile was so weird that the man trembled just looking at it: "Master..."

"Today, Master will serve you a dish passed down from the Han Dynasty!" Qian Wuye said, letting go of him fiercely, "Come here, show him the method of Empress Lu! You have seen it clearly, and there will be no more chaos in the future." If he speaks indiscriminately and makes up his mind, I will let him neither speak nor write!"

man...

The moment these two words flashed through my mind, the man's screams resounded throughout the courtyard.

This scream lasted for a long time, floating in the night like a nightmare, making it impossible for anyone who heard it to sleep peacefully.

In the middle of Beijing, Yuyin suddenly received a long letter from Meng Junhuai—the kind of long letter just by the thickness of the envelope, which made her tremble with fear.

He must be very busy when he is on business. Most of the letters between the two of them are written by her more than by him.The letters that were given to the children with "fried pork with bamboo shoots" like last time are considered long. Most of the time, she writes a bunch of recent situations in the Fuchu, and he replies with one: "The letter has been received, it is safe, don't read it" or only "Well, don't read."

This time, such a long call suddenly came... Did something happen to him?

Yu Yin pinched the envelope in a daze for a long time before she had the courage to open it, her hands were shaking when she opened it.Ming Jing, who had just been able to walk steadily and loved to dangle around the house when she had nothing to do, walked up to her to have a look, and stretched out her little hand to help her dismantle it: "I'll—!"

"Hey, don't make trouble." Yu Yin avoided her hand and touched her forehead, "Be good, let mother read the letter carefully, it's from your father."

"Father?" Ming Jing looked at her suspiciously outside, obviously unfamiliar with this word, and couldn't remember who it was.

"Have you forgotten your father?" Yu Yin patted her with the letter, "Little bad girl, your father dotes on you the most, knowing your reaction, he will be very sad!"

Ming Jing frowned and curled her lips, turned around and walked out again, babbling as she walked, "Ask my sister!"

The meaning probably means "Ask my sister who is her father" or "Ask me what my sister's father is like", Yu Yin smiled, seeing that the nanny was protecting her, she didn't worry, and continued to concentrate on opening and reading the letter.

With her heart hanging, she read a few lines, only to find that... something is wrong?
Why are they all insignificant things?For example, what beautiful scenery he saw, what interesting things he encountered on the road, and what else he deliberately mentioned to You Zexu recently, and found that You Zexu is indeed a child can teach, etc...

This made Yuyin panic, she couldn't hold her breath after reading the first page, and quickly scanned the next few pages, only to find that seven or eight pages were full of gossip.

Meng Junhuai was doing blood-licking errands, gossiping with her about seven or eight pages of homework?No matter how you think about it, there is a problem!

Thinking of this, Yuyin's first guess was: he won't marry a girl, right?

Then I blushed again and shook my head: No, no!

Even if she doesn't blindly trust his heart for her in this matter, at least she can still believe that he is a courageous person.If he really took a concubine outside, he would definitely not talk about him so condescendingly with her, telling her directly that he has taken a concubine and needs to be arranged in the mansion is his style. As for her being unhappy, he will follow suit If she is upset or apologizes to her, that is between the two of them, and it will be calculated separately.

So there must be no such thing behind the letter.

But this letter still looks wrong, there is still something hidden!
Yu Yin pondered for a long time with a serious expression...and didn't have any clue.

She thought about it for a while, and thought how about brainstorming?A few older girls have been helping her with the affairs of the house recently, so it's not too much to ask them to think about it.

She asked Shan Shan to call He Jing and Xi Zhen Xi Yao, handed them the letter to read it openly, and then asked her own question: "I think there is something wrong with this letter, there must be something wrong, but I want to If you don’t come out, what do you three think?”

He Jingxi and Zhen Xiyao: "..."

The three girls looked at each other for a long time, Xizhen said: "Maybe it's just the pain of lovesickness?"

Xi Yao said: "Maybe... Uncle thinks that these things are forgotten after being busy for a long time, and want to share with you quickly?"

He Jing pondered for a while, and gave a new idea: "Is there any Tibetan acrobatics or something? Maybe there are some things I need to tell you urgently, and I want to deceive others...?"

"Huh——" Ming Jing's voice came over, and several people looked over, she walked in quickly with short legs, crawled on the bed when she reached the bed, and threw herself on Yu Yin's arm, "Ask...Dad! "

"You still don't remember who is father?" Yu Yin couldn't laugh or cry, Ming Jing frowned and reached out to pat the letter: "Mother can't think of it, ask father!"
