Qing Palace Dream Like Smoke·Moyu

Chapter 94

When the boat arrived in Jiangning, when Mo Yu was serving tea, he heard that Chen Pengnian, the magistrate of Jiangning, was not able to take over and was almost executed.

When she entered the hall, Li Dequan specially instructed: "Be careful in doing things, the emperor is not in a good mood." Mo Yu nodded, and entered the side room, and saw Kangxi leaning on the couch, sitting in front of him was the former attendant of the Imperial Academy Bachelor Zhang Ying, when Mo Yu was serving tea, Kangxi murmured and said: "Officials are afraid of power but not complaining, people are virtuous and not playful, scholars teach but not bully, is that really the case?"

When Mo Yu put down his tea, Kangxi suddenly smiled and said, "Girl, you've been walking outside every day, but have you heard anything interesting?" When Mo Yu heard him suddenly ask this, he was taken aback for a moment, thinking about it Said: "Just a few days ago when I was in Suzhou, I heard a ghost story, and I dare not tell it casually in front of the emperor." Kangxi said with a smile: "It's okay to listen to it."

Mo Yu lowered his head and replied: "Yes. I heard that one day there was a ghost who wanted to kill an official surnamed Chen. The ghost blew a breath of cold air, which made people stand on end and scared half to death. That official surnamed Chen When I was in a crisis, I thought, ghosts are angry, am I not angry yet? So I puffed up my breath and blew towards the ghost in one breath, but the ghost was blown into green smoke by him and disappeared in an instant." Kangxi After hearing this, he looked at her with a half-smile and said, "With righteousness in my chest, all evils dare not violate the school. It's kind of interesting."

Mo Yu felt uneasy, he rarely said these things on weekdays, and was as shrewd as Kangxi, if he said this today, would it make him feel that he was suspected of talking about current affairs.Kangxi said again: "You go out first."

Moyu withdrew, just walked out of the hall, saw Fu Ercha hurried in, with an anxious expression on his face, went up to meet him and asked, "What's the matter?" Fu Ercha asked, "Did you see the Thirteenth Master?"

Mo Yu shook his head: "I haven't seen him today." Fu Ercha said anxiously, "I just met Miss Chen Lanbing."

When Mo Yu heard this, he laughed in surprise: "Really, ha, so you and her are really destined."

Fulcha ignored her jokes, and just looked anxious: "I ran into her by accident outside the palace. It turned out that she is Mrs. Chen Pengnian's daughter. She said that the prince punished Mr. Chen to kneel outside the palace gate and whipped him." , I heard that he passed out once."

Mo Yu turned pale in shock: "Really, what should we do then?" Fulcha said; "I want to see if I can find Lord Thirteen and ask him to stop him."

Mo Yu gritted his teeth and said, "No, it's too late to find him." After thinking for a while, he threw the tea set in his hand on the ground and smashed it to pieces with a bang. : "What's going on outside?"

The two of them knelt down quickly, and Mo Yu replied: "My servant heard Lord Nalan say that someone was about to be beaten to death in front of the palace gate. I was so frightened that I dropped the tea set. This servant deserves death." Kangxi walked out from inside, He asked angrily, "Fulca, what happened?"

Fulcha bowed his head and said: "The crown prince was angry with Sheng Yan because of Mr. Chen's inability to pick up the driver. He tied Mr. Chen to the palace gate and whipped him. He passed out once." Kangxi's face sank when he heard this, and he didn't speak immediately. Yu didn't dare to look up, and couldn't help feeling uneasy.I only heard Kangxi say: "Fulcha, go to the gate of the palace and pass on my oral order. I will not pursue today's matter. Let Chen Pengnian go, and you will escort him home." Fuercha agreed and took the order to go Yes, when he got up, he looked at Mo Yu worriedly.

Kangxi turned his head and glanced at Moyu, and walked into the hall.Li Dequan walked in front of her and shook his head, "Come to the side, the chopsticks will last for half an hour." Mo Yu lowered his head, knowing that this was a light punishment, walked to the side of the hall, bent over and stretched out his hands, grabbing Stretching her legs, at first she was thinking about what was wrong with Fulca, but then she gradually felt dizzy and forced herself to hold on, cold sweat kept falling from her forehead.Finally, someone said in her ear: "The time has come." She straightened up all of a sudden, but she couldn't hold on, and she fainted on the ground.
