The little lady in the palace

Chapter 188
Yuyin and Meng Junhuai only found out what A Zuo had done at night.

The couple were dumbfounded together.

It was the eunuch in front of A Zuo who came to report, and he was not a few years older than A Zuo.He obviously knew that His Royal Highness asked him to talk back and forth at this moment because he was deliberately procrastinating for time, and he wiped off his cold sweat when he spoke.

In short, A Zuo asked the commander to kneel for half an hour before asking the commander to answer.After inquiring clearly about what happened, he sent him back to Beijing directly to wait for what happened.

——And asked a few eunuchs to watch him, and let him walk all the way back to Beijing!

Yuyin couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this, she said to herself, Ah Zuo, you are very good at taking advantage of loopholes!

The commander of the guards is a serious official position in the palace, the kind that the court directly allocates salary, and the rank is not very low.In this case, it is inappropriate for A Zuo to directly send out the commander as the son of the prince. In the whole family, only the prince Meng Junhuai and the princess Yuyin can speak out.

But A Zuo obviously wanted to bypass them and deal with the commander, and to vent her anger for Lan Jing, so he chose a method that he could decide for himself.

——Sending the commander back to Beijing can only be classified as "dispatch".

And his focus is obviously on getting people to walk back on foot.It's the twelfth lunar month now, and it's freezing cold, and I have to say whether I will survive or not when I walk back to the capital from Hangzhou.Even if he was lucky enough to go back alive, there would still be the four words "wait and see".

Thinking about it a step further, if Ah Zuo could make such an arrangement, Yu Yin knew without thinking about it that he would never let the commander have a chance to take away the money.In this way, he had no way to give those eunuchs any benefits on the way, but those eunuchs had to "walk back to Beijing" with him.Given such a hard job, they probably wouldn't make it easy for him.

"This child!" Yu Yin burst out laughing while trying to sulk his face, Meng Junhuai waved his hand to let the little eunuch back out, turned his face and glared at her: "You're still laughing!"

"Hahahaha, it's the first time I've seen him be so badass!" Sitting on the side of the couch, Yu Yin threw her head on the pillow, and couldn't help but imagine A Zuo grinding her teeth and making plans in her mind, and she couldn't stop laughing, "Not bad, I know I'm protecting my sister, so I have to talk to Lan Jing about it!"

"Not bad, not bad." Meng Junhuai walked over a few steps, pinched her waist, "I have to say him! It's not okay to think about how to bypass adults at a young age, and you can't get used to it!"

He kept a straight face, but Yuyin still couldn't help laughing.Seeing his complexion darken, he stretched out his hand to push Yuyin into the inner side of the bed, then lowered the curtain to block it, and shouted solemnly: "You must not make a sound!"

Yu Yin, who was separated from the outside world by the curtain, suppressed her smile, tried her best to straighten her mind, and felt that he was right to think so.

So Meng Junhuai called A Zuo over while the iron was hot, and did not wait for him to greet him after A Zuo entered the house, straight to the point and raised his eyebrows coldly: "You are so courageous."

"..." A Zuo knew exactly what his father was referring to. He rolled his eyes and lowered his head and muttered, "He didn't pay attention to the second sister, and even passed on the orders of the father!"

Meng Junhuai clasped his hands behind his back and looked at him condescendingly: "Then you will send him back to Beijing directly behind your father's, queen's and concubine's backs? Or tell him to walk back?"

"He deserves it!" A Zuo raised his head, confidently, "I asked, and he said that he just wanted to show off to the other people around the second sister, so that he could have lucrative money in the future—he almost killed them for money. Kill him, isn't he just bullying that guard who has no support? I let him walk back and have no money to escort the eunuch on the way, so he knows what it's like to be bullied without support! Call him bully!"

He is quite reasonable? ? ?
Meng Junhuai continued to be cold-faced: "Then what if he dies on the road?"

"That still deserves it!" A Zuo continued to be confident, "The guard of the second sister was almost killed by him, and it is a good life to still have a breath. I asked the commander to go back, but I never beat him. He If he can die on the road, it means his own fate is not good!"

"..." Meng Junhuai choked for a moment, took a deep breath to hold his breath, "Azuo, you are young, you must have a kind heart."

"Ah...?" A Zuo looked at his father hesitantly, "Didn't you always be kind to the good and kind to the wicked in the past?"

He was a little confused, wondering why his father suddenly changed his sex?What they were taught before was "repaying grievances with virtue, how to repay virtue"!

Moreover, the father is in charge of Jinyiwei, so it is impossible to be merciful when interrogating the wicked, right?Those treacherous eunuchs in the East Factory and the West Factory have basically been wiped out now, could it be because of probation...?
Meng Junhuai was also taken aback by his question, turned to look at Fang Liang and took a deep breath, slapped his forehead and realized that he had been led astray by this kid!

What he wanted to say was that his arrangement was wrong?

no!He wanted to say that it was wrong for him to do this without telling his parents!
But it's a bit strange to suddenly turn the topic to this aspect now. Let me first point out that I was led astray just now and it's embarrassing...

Meng Junhuai was so angry that he suddenly heard a low voice from inside the bed tent: "Pfft..."

Meng Junhuai: "..."

A Zuo was startled: "Mother Concubine...?"

The bed tent is quiet.

Meng Junhuai rolled his eyes while his son wasn't paying attention, and then turned serious again: "You go back first, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Oh..." A Zuo bowed to him with a complicated expression, and then bowed to the tightly closed bed curtain, "Mother, concubine, shall I... go back?"

Then A Zuo retired in a strange dead silence.

After hearing the sound of the door closing, Meng Junhuai lifted up the bed curtain: "You tear down the stage?!"

"I didn't do it on purpose!" Yu Yin lay there, her face still buried on the pillow, her voice was very painful, "I really can't hold back!"

"You did it on purpose." Meng Junhuai gritted his teeth.

"No..." Yu Yin turned over and looked at him tearfully, "Can't I teach him a lesson tomorrow? I'll definitely say everything I need to say!"

"Tch." Meng Junhuai said coldly, and then sat down by the couch, "OK."

So, Yuyin called A Zuo, who thought she had "escaped a catastrophe", into the house early the next morning, and lectured him that he shouldn't do such a thing without telling them.Even if he really wanted to vent his anger, he should tell them in time!
This accusation made A Zuo not refute, and after admitting his mistake limply, he obediently copied the book.

After a while, Yuyin heard Ah Zuo whispering something to Ah You outside, and Ah You yelled back: "I won't help you! Because of you yesterday, I coaxed my second sister for an hour to coax her to sleep Copy it yourself!"

Yu Yin: "...?"

Why does it feel like there is a link that she and Meng Junhuai don't know about...?
That's all, it doesn't sound like a bad thing, it's good to let the children get along more comfortably, she doesn't have to stare at everything.

Yu Yin didn't ask any more questions, and went to visit Lan Jing after breakfast, and only when she arrived at Lan Jing's residence did she learn that she had gone to the residence of the guards in front.

Because Tan Yu woke up.

Yuyin recited Amitabha in his heart, feeling that he is really lucky.

His condition was really bad, so bad that Ah Li couldn't help crying when he called her back yesterday.

Ah Li said that he was injured so badly that there was no good place on his back, and he coughed lightly and there were blood drops.Moreover, this severe reprimand obviously made him terrified. It is said that although he was unconscious when the doctor came to see him, as soon as someone touched him, he would involuntarily clenched the bedding tightly, as if he was afraid of being escorted outside again to continue his torture.

He should be only sixteen or seventeen years old, not much older than Ali, this kind of torture is too heavy for him.

In the front house, the courtyard of the guards was very quiet, but it was even quieter in Tan Yu's room.

Because of the Lord Weng's personal arrival, the other three people who lived with him avoided going out.Inside the closed door were only Lan Jing and Tan Yu, and only one was speaking.

Lan Jing had been trying to speak for a while, but Tan Yu, who was lying on the bed, kept facing the wall and didn't answer a word, making her seem to be talking to herself.

She was worried at first, but when she saw him like this again, she burst into tears unknowingly. She hesitated and tapped his shoulder, begging, "Can you just take care of me? How do you feel? Tell me... …I did not mean anything else."

She just wanted to help him and tell the doctor about his condition.Even if the doctor doesn't need to listen to her, she can help him prepare something he wants to eat...but he refuses to say a word to her.

"It's my fault, but...but I really didn't expect the commander to punish you like this." Lan Jing explained dryly, but still didn't respond.

Tan Yu couldn't bear to be disturbed by the sobbing sound behind him. He didn't think there was anything wrong with her in this matter, but the severe pain all over his body made him dare not turn his head.

He is really scared now, he doesn't know how to face Lan Jing, he is afraid that if he says a wrong sentence, he will lose his life.

——Because he didn't protect her well, he had already walked around before the gate of hell.If he let other people know what kind of affection had arisen between them...then he couldn't even think about the consequences.

"I won't let you do anything else..." Lan Jing trembled and choked up, this promise sounded very weak.

Yu Yin's hand that was about to push the door froze because of the choking sound, she took two steps back, and was hesitating whether to ask Lan Jing what was on her mind later, when Meng Junhuai's voice sounded behind her: "Lan Jing is here? "

She turned her head and saw that his face was gloomy, and sighed lightly: "Jun Huai..."

Meng Junhuai nodded: "I'll go in and ask."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and pushed open the door without any hesitation.

He just called out "Lan Jing", and there were two gasps in the room.

Meng Junhuai ignored the fear in their eyes, stretched his hand back and pulled Yuyin, and dragged her into the door together.

After the two of them sat down on their chairs, Lan Jing who was originally sitting on the embroidered pier by the side of the couch couldn't sit still anymore, and got up tremblingly: "Father..."

Meng Junhuai's eyes flicked between the two of them: "Tell me, what's going on with you?"

"No..." This time Tan Yu spoke first.He was still running a fever, and cold sweat suddenly appeared on his pale face under the horror.

He tried his best to calm himself down, but he couldn't restrain the trembling in his words: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I know who I am, so I dare not..."

"You know, you don't dare, what about her?" Meng Junhuai looked at Lan Jing, and led her to look at the bowl of porridge, "Father and King have never eaten the porridge you made."

"Father, I..." Lan Jing was startled by her father's words, and bit her lips tightly several times, but suddenly stepped forward as if she was fearless, and knelt down, "Father, I like him, but I don't like him." Didn't do anything out of bounds."

Her sudden boldness stunned all three of them, and before they could react, she kowtowed and said, "This matter has nothing to do with him, it's just my wishful thinking. Please spare his life, my father. ...will marry someone who suits my father, queen, mother and concubine's heart, and I won't think about him too much after getting married!"

She spoke sonorously and forcefully, and her words were loud, and her somewhat tough tone seemed to be a different person.

Meng Junhuai was a little surprised, looked at Tan Yu, and then looked at her again: "Will you marry someone who suits your father, queen, mother and concubine? You won't choose anymore?"

Lan Jing pursed her lips and nodded: "Yes!"

"Just to change his life?" Meng Junhuai asked again.

Lan Jing suddenly hesitated because she couldn't figure out the emotion in his words: "Father..."

Meng Junhuai's eyes froze slightly, and he stood up abruptly and walked towards Tan Yu. Tan Yu subconsciously closed his eyes in surprise, and couldn't help tightening his hands on the pillow.

Meng Junhuai looked at his reaction, and then lifted the quilt off his body without looking at him.

The bruised and purple back came into view, Meng Junhuai gasped for breath, while Yu Yin turned his face away, unable to bear to look more.

After a moment of silence, he loosened the quilt, turned around and left the room without saying a word.

"Father?!" Lan Jing suddenly became uneasy. Seeing Yuyin frowning and trying to chase her out, she hurriedly stretched out her hand and said, "Father, this is..."

"Mother and concubine, go ask." Yuyin didn't know what Meng Junhuai was thinking for a moment, she shook Lan Jing's hand to show her peace of mind, and then told Tan Yu, "You are good at giving birth, don't be afraid. As long as you If you can survive, I promise not to let you die in this matter."

She didn't know whether Meng Junhuai was angry because of this relationship, but if so, she had to protect Tan Yu.

It's absurd for the Lord of the Palace to like a guard, but he can't just kill him because of this?It's okay to get angry, but it's absolutely not okay to ignore human life.
