Chapter 757
"I see." Shao Juncong nodded.

"It's getting late. As a foreign minister, you can't stay in the harem for too long. You should go back earlier." Yan Wenzhen urged.

"What you said is that I should leave." Shao Jun stood up, glanced at the leftover soup on the table, and smiled again, "I am content to be able to eat the food you cooked before I leave."

Yan Wenzhen smiled lightly: "This kind of practice feast is really not a respect, as long as the general doesn't dislike it."

Shao Juncong took a few steps outside, and turned around suddenly at the door: "By the way, about Bai Shaoyu..."

"Okay! I get it. Why is the general getting up like a mother-in-law?" Yan Wenzhen interrupted him, pushing the people out, "Wake up soon, general, hurry up, and the key will be released at the palace gate later. , it’s not easy for you to go out.”

"Okay, I'm leaving. You stay here." Shao Juncong nodded, and went out with the bag with the cloak.

After that night, until the emperor led a group of civil servants and generals to the west for a tour of Beijing, Yan Wenzhen never saw Shao Juncong again.But Wei Yiyi sees her every day. Since the emperor left, Princess Wei has moved into the palace. The Empress ordered someone to tidy up a palace for her so that she doesn't have to run back and forth inside and outside the palace. Secondly, since she lives in the palace, the protection in the palace is more secure.

Princess Wei Da has a heavy responsibility on her shoulders, so it is very hard to watch everywhere every day.

Yan Wenzhen also remembers what Shao Juncong told herself before leaving, whenever she meets her, she always avoids her by three points.But while avoiding it, she also felt that as a woman, she was responsible for the safety of the huge palace, and it was really hard work, so she quietly stewed the tonic soup, and every night when she went out to inspect the good time, she sent it to her residence and handed it over to her. personal maid.

Mother Xu and others thought that Yan Wenzhen was paving the way for their future.Only Yan Wenzhen knew in her heart that even if she didn't marry Shao Juncong, she would treat Princess Wei sincerely in this situation, because only this person is healthy and safe, the queen, princess and everyone in the palace can eat Xiang can sleep well and live a peaceful life.

Life in the palace is as peaceful as ever.It's just that the queen's belly is getting bigger every day, and because the emperor is not in the palace, everyone feels more and more boring every day.Fortunately, there is a little treasure like the eldest princess, and there can be some laughter in Fengzhang Hall every day, otherwise, even Yan Wenzhen would feel dull this day.

The empress is the person who can't bear the dullness the most, and she doesn't know why she got interested today, and even came up with the idea of ​​writing a letter to the emperor.After Yan Wenzhen heard about it, he made a bowl of almond custard and brought it in. He witnessed the appearance of the empress scratching her head and the paper ball that was thrown all over the floor.

In the evening, Mother Xu suddenly called Yan Wenzhen aside, and said in a low voice, "Bai Shaoyu's case has already been tried, and I'm afraid the result will be bad."

"What's the matter? Could it be that Dali Temple has found evidence?" Yan Wenzhen felt his heart suddenly tightened, and his body couldn't help shaking.

"They didn't explain the specific situation to me clearly. They only said that someone turned himself in and gave circumstantial evidence that Bai Shaoyu had bought a large amount of beef bones from them. They also said that they asked someone from the Bai family at that time, and that person said It is used to make medicinal materials." Mother Xu looked at no one around, then lowered her voice and said, "I also heard that someone spent a lot of money to make this case real."

After hearing this, Yan Wenzhen couldn't help taking a few steps back and leaning on the stove, and sighed in a murmur for a while, "So, brother Shaoyu's life may not be saved?"

"Don't be too discouraged, Dali Temple hasn't sentenced yet. Let's think of a way, this matter may have a turn for the better." Mother Xu persuaded.

The night wind howled and opened the window, and the cold breath was wrapped in the smell of ice and snow, which made people tremble.

Yan Wenzhen suddenly remembered Shao Juncong's words, and asked in a trembling voice: "If His Majesty is not here, will they dare to judge this murder case?"

Mother Xu hurriedly said: "Of course the sentence can be passed, but if the execution is really necessary, it can only be executed after His Majesty returns with a red pen."

"This can't be done! Can't be sentenced! Brother Shaoyu was wronged, they want to put him to death, if sentenced, if brother Shaoyu dies in prison for no reason, when His Majesty comes back and asks, they don't have to worry about it! "Yan Wenzhen held Xu Nanny's hand anxiously, and begged: "Mammy, do you have a better solution? As long as you can save Shaoyu's life! Shaoyu is innocent, he cannot die unjustly!"

"The empress is pregnant now, but she can't worry about these things, but there is someone in front of you that you can ask for." Madam Xu said in a low voice.

"Who?" Yan Wenzhen asked hurriedly.

"Of course she is the princess. If she comes forward, it will be easier for the National Medical Center and the Royal Pharmacy to talk. As long as the two sides don't press so hard, there may be a turning point for this matter." After Xu Mama finished speaking, she shook her head again "However, the key to this case is that there must be someone to prove Bai Shaoyu's innocence. Otherwise, even if the Royal Pharmacy does not pursue it, the case has already been established, and Dali Temple cannot shelve it."

"I understand." Yan Wenzhen nodded, "Thank you, Sister."

"You and I shouldn't be so polite, it's not too early now, you should go back to sleep earlier." Madam Xu said.

Yan Wenzhen bid farewell to Nanny Xu and went back to her room. She tossed and turned all night without falling asleep, and got up before dawn. Wake up and let them go to sleep separately, while I turn around to prepare small cold dishes suitable for porridge.

After a busy morning without stopping, Yan Wenzhen asked the queen for leave after serving the empress for breakfast, saying that she would go out of the palace.

The queen naturally agreed, and then ordered Sun Defu: "Go and get what I gave to He's mother and daughter, and ask Wen Zhen to send it to them. Give Wen Zhen another 50 taels of silver, and let her use it to supplement the family."

Yan Wenzhen once again thanked the queen for her kindness, and followed Sun Defu to get things before leaving the palace in a hurry.

After leaving the palace, she first went to the restaurant of He's mother and daughter, gave them the things that the empress had rewarded them, and then hurried to Xu's house.Seeing her expression, Mrs. He knew that something was urgent, so he didn't dare to stay any longer. He just asked the staff to carry two jars of pickles and two jars of old wine to the car, saying that it was a little sympathy for Mrs. Xu.
