From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 588
News came from the palace early yesterday morning, saying that Concubine Hui wanted to make the emperor his favorite belly-wrapped chicken, but she couldn't make it well, either it had a strange smell or it was too salty, anyway the taste was wrong .This dish is Nanny Song's specialty. In the past, she would cook it for the emperor twice a month, so she was specially invited to the palace for advice.

Mei Xin knew that this was an excuse, and as far as she knew, the emperor liked to eat too many dishes, so what Concubine Hui said must be because the emperor wanted to summon her in private.So, I deliberately found something for her to do in the morning, and let her go out after lunch.

Because she has been with the moody emperor for many years, Nanny Song is very well-behaved, and she is very witty, she will say what should be said and what should not be said.For example, this morning she clearly knew that Mei Xin was deliberately looking for something for her to do, she was not angry at all, she was not arrogant, impatient, anxious or slow about what to do, as if she didn't know anything at all.

Those who know current affairs are Junjie, besides being wary of her, Mei Xin actually learned a lot from her.For example, don't be alarmed by changes, don't be impatient, or don't change face in front of a landslide. She really appreciates this calmness and courage.

Since she guessed last night that this is very likely to be a trap, a trap set by others for a long time, Mei Xin reckons that someone will come to the door today, and this is the main reason why she deliberately does not let Nanny Song enter the palace in the morning .

Since she is the emperor's eyeliner and confidant, she should be allowed to see it. It just so happens that this matter can save others from lying, and it would be best for her to report it to the emperor.

Yun Luo took the order and left immediately. Mei Xin looked down at Deputy Commander Wu and said: "The following crime is a crime of disrespect. If you don't know how to repent and want to assassinate with a sword, the crime will be increased. Come, tie him up. ..."

"Princess, please spare me!" Feng Wuzheng, the commander of the Gyeonggi Guards who received the news, rushed over, hurriedly covered in snow, walked down the steps in two steps, and immediately saluted Mei Xin: "My minister is late. I also ask the eldest princess to calm down."

After finishing speaking, he kicked Deputy Commander Wu's kneecap, and he knelt down involuntarily after hearing a plop.

Taking the opportunity to snatch the sword in his hand, Feng Wuzheng scolded sharply: "You are so brave, you are asked to assist the Jingzhao Yamen to catch fugitives, you dare to surround the Liang Palace with soldiers, do you have the guts of a bear?"

There is no imperial decree and no oral instructions, either he has eaten the heart of a bear, or he does not want to live, and seeks his own death.

Deputy Commander Wu was dissatisfied and wanted to distinguish, but Feng Wuzheng gave him a hard look and reprimanded him in a low voice: "Shut up if you don't want to die!"

With a cold snort, he put his sword back into its sheath, and ordered all the Jingji guards surrounding Prince Liang's mansion to withdraw. He bowed his head and bowed his hands again to salute Mei Xin: "Princess Rong, since the last time the princess was assassinated, the emperor ordered his ministers to assist Jingzhao Yamen handles the case. Early this morning, Mr. Zhang said that a fugitive was lost in the prison and hoped that I could assist him in arresting him. I sent Deputy Commander Wu to go there. The testimony of the witnesses was wrong, and one of them was bribed, so that it was misleading Vice Commander Wu and Master Zhang. Weichen rushed over immediately when he heard the news, but who knew it was still a step late. The eldest princess, the little minister and others have no intention of offending, please be aware of the eldest princess, please forgive me, and please calm down! "

As soon as her legs were bent, she immediately knelt down to Mei Xin and saluted.

Although someone ordered this matter, they were the first to be unreasonable, especially now that there is insufficient evidence and soldiers are besieging the Prince Liang's mansion, even if the trouble comes to the imperial court, it cannot be justified. They must be the ones who are unlucky.Therefore, a man can bend and stretch, and he must do his best to be loyal to others as entrusted by others, and he must protect Vice Commander Wu no matter what.

Mei Xin smiled coldly and said nothing, she saw a small sedan chair approaching from a distance, and the maidservants on both sides seemed to be familiar, she sat down on the grand master's chair again and said: "So you misunderstood?"

The voice was flat and without waves, but for some reason it sounded like an enemy to Feng Wuzheng's ears.Although it was not the first time he had dealt with Mei Xin, he still hadn't figured out her temper until now.Sometimes she is very polite and very talkative, but sometimes she is cruel and ruthless, and she doesn't care who she is when she kills. It seems that she acts according to her mood, which gives him a moody feeling.

Feeling uneasy, Feng Wuzheng tried his best to keep his tone on the same note, and said truthfully: "Yes, it is wrong for me to ask for someone before I have checked it out. Please forgive me if I offended you so much. !"

With a cold smile on her face like frost, Mei Xin took the hand warmer from Dou Kou and put it in her palm, "So you are all familiar with the law?"

Feng Wuzheng didn't lie and answered honestly, Jingzhao Mansion Yin Zhang Bing didn't dare to lie, let alone say no, otherwise how could he be Jingzhao Mansion Yin.Therefore, Mei Xin said again: "You came to Prince Liang's mansion for dignitaries while you were familiar with the law, and you believed that the fugitive was in this mansion. Breaking in to search and hurt my people, what kind of behavior are you doing, this is a malicious provocation."

The sudden rise of the voice startled everyone, but Mei Xin stood up again and said harshly, "Where do you think this is? Is the palace easy to bully?"

If the tiger doesn't show its power, you will treat me as a sick cat. If so, why should she be polite, knock the mountain to shake the tiger and kill chickens and monkeys to make an example of others!
The angry shout made Feng Wuzheng's face change, and Zhang Bing, Yin of Jingzhao Mansion, was sweating profusely.He regretted it, and his intestines were green with regret.Originally thought that Deputy Commander Wu was a calm person, but he thought of being so reckless. It is clear that they came here to arrest the fugitive, because he was beaten for being reckless for a while.Now, the censors have been idle for the past two days, and they are worried that there is no one to participate in the performance, so they will wait for him tomorrow morning to be unlucky.

Frowning tightly, the two of them kowtowed in unison and said: "There is a reason for the incident, please calm down the princess, please punish the princess!"

Speaking of this, in order to appease Mei Xin's anger, they had no choice but to be low-key, and they only hoped that her lord would not remember the villain's mistakes and help them out.

Mei Xin would definitely not be fussy about other matters, but if she let them go so easily today, then she would not pay much attention to Prince Liang's Mansion in the future, and would think that they are easy to bully.So, without doing anything else, she pointed to the iron plaque hanging on the door behind her and said: "At the beginning of the founding of the country, the late emperor wrote these three characters with his own pen. The gold medal is exempt from the death of the iron coupon. Not to mention the emperor, even the crown prince has to get off the horse and stop the sedan chair here to show respect to the late emperor when he enters the palace.
