[114] She is your woman
Bai Ping said, "I don't know very well. I heard news from the palace that someone reported a secret report against Prime Minister Meng. Emperor Long Yan was furious and threw Prime Minister Meng into a prison. The specific situation is still unknown.
"
Hua Yue thought of Meng Wanjun, the arrogant and domineering young lady under her father's pampering. Now she fell from the clouds into the mud. Can she bear it?
While he was having doubts, he suddenly heard Bai Yi ask, "The Meng Mansion was raided? What about the female relatives of the Meng Mansion? They were also imprisoned?"
Although corruption and bribery violate the national law, it does not lead to the confiscation of the family and the annihilation of the family. It must be that someone with intentions learned that the emperor was worried about Princess Nishang and deliberately let Prime Minister Meng take advantage of this.
However, Prime Minister Meng has been an official for many years and has a deep foundation in the court, which is difficult to shake for a while. Who could bring down Prime Minister Meng without leaving any trace?
Just as Bai Yi wanted to connect a series of things and consider them, Bo An also walked over in a hurry, holding a red post in his hand. He walked up to Bai Yi and said, "Your Majesty, Young Madam, Miss Du sent
The invitation was sent by someone." As he spoke, he handed the invitation to Bo Yi.
Du Xiaofeng? Hua Yue was confused and turned her head to look. It turned out to be Du Xiaofeng's wedding invitation! The gilded words on it read that Du Xiaofeng and Sun Yunting, the Minister of Household Affairs, were married on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Guichou year. Hua Yue thought, on the fifth day of May,
Isn’t it just half a month later?
Bai Yi asked Hua Yue to prepare a gift for Du Xiaofeng, but he still couldn't worry about Prime Minister Meng's affairs, so he got up and went to Prince Rui's Mansion.
Wan Qirui also got the news. He knew much more comprehensively than Bai Yi. At this time, he was also contemplating in the mansion.
Although Bai Yi and Prime Minister Meng did not move around much and were not close friends, although Prime Minister Meng raised a spoiled and willful daughter, he was still a good official. He could climb to the position of prime minister step by step.
He has some talent. Moreover, he has indeed done some things that benefit the country and the people in recent years. It is really hard for Bo Yi to imagine that such a corrupt prime minister with a literary background can actually despise national laws and engage in corruption and bribery.
.
He thought for a while and said, "Tell me, is there something fishy about this matter? Do you know who the person who reported Prime Minister Meng was?"
Wan Qirui sneered, "Who else could it be? Besides my good second brother who is afraid of the world being in chaos, who else could suggest such a thing?"
Bai Yi was silent. There has always been no family affection in the royal family, and the battle for the throne has always been full of blood. The ambition of the second prince has long been obvious. However, Prime Minister Meng is an important minister in the court and his prestige is of great importance, but he has always been concerned about the battle for the crown prince.
He is holding a wait-and-see attitude and has not shown which prince he wants to support. If anyone can get his support, it will be equivalent to getting the support of a large part of the officials in the court, and there will be no worries about major things happening.
Therefore, Prime Minister Meng has always been the target of various princes vying to win over. So why did the second prince oppose him so decisively at this time? If the civil and military officials knew about it, then he would lose Prime Minister Meng forever.
His disciples and many officials who relied on him, this loss was huge.
There can only be one reason for the Second Prince to do this, and that is that he has determined that Prime Minister Meng will not support him. In other words, Prime Minister Meng has already made a choice, and this choice is obviously not for the Second Prince.
So, who could it be?
Bo Yi remembered that Prime Minister Meng was born as a scholar, with the corruption and stubbornness unique to scholars. If money and power were to win him over, it would definitely have no effect on him. Otherwise, he would not have delayed choosing a camp until now.
The only thing he cared about most in his life was his only daughter, Meng Wanjun.
As we all know, Meng Wanjun rejected many people who came to propose marriage. Everyone thought that she had a high vision and looked down on ordinary people. But only a few people knew that although Meng Wanjun was arrogant and domineering, she had already had a deep love for someone. She once said
Yes, if you don’t marry this person, you won’t marry.
Bai Yi glanced at Wan Qirui and said lightly, "Is it because of you?"
They all knew in their hearts that the person in Meng Wanjun's heart was none other than the handsome and stunning Sixth Prince Wan Qirui. Prime Minister Meng loved his daughter so much that he would not be willing to make her sad. If Wan Qirui was in the battle for the throne,
If he fails, the outcome will be foreseeably miserable. When the time comes, it will definitely be Meng Wanjun whose heart is broken.
Wan Qirui did not refute, and smiled lightly, "I think so too. However, the second brother is really wrong. Prime Minister Meng came to see me, but you know, he can't choose me."
Bai Yi nodded, of course he knew. He grew up with Wan Qirui, so he naturally understood what he was thinking. He had no interest in the throne at all. He only wanted to be an idle prince and occasionally go out to do chivalry. It is the responsibility of a country.
Too heavy, he knew that he was not qualified to be the emperor, and besides, his brothers all had great talents, and any one of them would be better than him. Therefore, he never competed for these.
On that day, Prime Minister Meng came to his house, indeed intending to discuss with him the matter of establishing a prince. However, Wan Qirui confessed his feelings on the spot and made it very clear that he could not marry Meng Wanjun. Prime Minister Meng then
gone back.
Who knew that it would bring such a disaster to Prime Minister Meng.
Bai Yi suddenly asked, "Did you help arrange the family members of the Prime Minister's Mansion? On my way here, I saw that the Prime Minister's Mansion has been sealed off. They should have nowhere to go."
Wan Qirui nodded, "This happened because of me, so I should help."
Bai Yi frowned, "In this case, the prime minister was wronged, why didn't you go to the emperor and explain? Wouldn't it be better to find a way to rescue him?"
Wan Qirui shook his head and sighed, "I just came back from the palace just as you were here. Outsiders don't understand the reason. The reason why my father put Prime Minister Meng in jail was not just because he was corrupt and perverted the law.
A crime, and more importantly, the person reported that he surrendered to the enemy and treason! This is a serious crime that will punish the Nine Clans!"
When Bai Yi heard this, Ying Ting's eyebrows furrowed deeply. Surrendering to the enemy and treason is the biggest crime since ancient times. However, since the second prince complained like this, he must have the so-called "evidence" in his hands. From this point of view, he secretly committed this matter.
It must have been more than a moment of planning. You probably wanted to use these false evidences to threaten Prime Minister Meng to work for you in a critical moment, right? Who knew, but he suddenly got the news that Prime Minister Meng had taken refuge in Wan Qirui, so he took the risk.
However, although this was a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the clan, the emperor only imprisoned Prime Minister Meng alone in the prison, and did not involve the family members of the Prime Minister's Mansion. Why is this?
Is the emperor being soft-hearted or is he suspicious of Prime Minister Meng's surrender to the enemy?
However, no matter what the reason is, Prime Minister Meng is not in danger of his life for the time being. Although the Tianlao is a scary place, from another point of view, it is heavily guarded and controlled by the emperor. No one can enter without the emperor's order.
To a certain extent, his safety was protected.
In the following time, Bai Yi was busy investigating Prime Minister Meng's affairs all day long. Hua Yue found out that Meng Wanjun was at Wan Qirui's place, and she was relieved. This fat girl didn't have a good look every time he saw her. Hua Yue felt sorry for her.
She didn't have much favorable impressions either, but now that she was in trouble, she couldn't bear to have her live on the street. Now that she knew she had a place to live and food to eat, she wouldn't be overly sympathetic and concerned.
What's more, she was not idle during this period. Du Xiaofeng was getting married. As her best friend, Hua Yue spent most of the day helping Du Mansion. Fortunately, the Porcelain Building was already open.
Now that the store is under the supervision of the shopkeeper, she doesn't have to worry about much, otherwise she would really be too busy.
Finally, the day of Du Xiaofeng's wedding arrived. Hua Yue arrived at Du Mansion early. Seeing Du Xiaofeng who was no longer as lively as before, Hua Yue knew that she was shy and nervous, so she stayed with her.
Comforting, seeing that the maid was not satisfied with the makeup she put on Du Xiaofeng again and again, Hua Yue remembered the modern makeup technology and gave Du Xiaofeng a beautiful bridal makeup. Du Xiaofeng's forehead was relatively full, Hua Yue was there
A blooming peach blossom was placed on her forehead, making her look even more beautiful.
It took a lot of time to put on makeup. As soon as they were busy, the team to welcome the bride arrived. Hua Yuexiao watched Du Xiaofeng being put on the sedan chair. Her work was considered completed. When she was about to go back, she saw Zhang Jinfeng leaning on the door.
He looked at her with hostile eyes.
Zhang Huayue was startled, then walked over with a smile, "Sister?"
Zhang Jinfeng did not answer, but snorted coldly and turned his head to one side.
The smile on Hua Yue's face froze, and she was neither smiling nor not. She was very embarrassed. Didn't they reconcile? What is Jinfeng so crazy about in this chapter?
At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps. It turned out to be Wan Qilichen looking for Zhang Jinfeng. He happened to see the scene just now. He frowned unhappily, nodded to Hua Yue, and shouted, "Four."
younger sister."
His voice was so gentle, Zhang Jinfeng's expression dimmed for a moment, and he glanced at Wan Qilichen, hesitating to speak, "Mr.
Wan Qilichen looked at her and said displeasedly, "Today is Miss Du's happy day. If Madam has anything unhappy about her, she shouldn't have brought it here and let outsiders see it. Don't tell me that you don't know."
In general, we still think that we in Prince Duan's Mansion are so arrogant! Fortunately, the person in front of you is the fourth sister, and my sisters will not care about you, so why don't you apologize to the fourth sister!"
Zhang Jinfeng looked at Wan Qi Lichen aggrievedly. Seeing his cold expression, she felt even more aggrieved. Her eye circles suddenly turned red. If she didn't apologize, Wan Qi Lichen's face was so ugly. She didn't want him to hate her, but to apologize... she
I really can't bear to look like this.
Hua Yue looked at the two of them speechlessly, and after a while, she raised her fingers at Wan Qi Lichen and said, "Come here, I have something to tell you!"
Wan Qi Lichen glanced at Hua Yue with some confusion, but still followed Hua Yue to the side as instructed. Hua Yue glanced at Zhang Jinfeng, who was sad not far away, and punched Wan Qi Lichen rudely.
on his shoulder, "You are a pig!"
Wan Qi Lichen is a martial arts practitioner, and Hua Yue is a little girl. She doesn't have much kung fu. Hitting him like this is like scratching an itch. However, he pretends to be in extreme pain and frowns his eyebrows exaggeratedly.
, looked at Zhang Huayue aggrievedly, rubbed his shoulders and complained, "Fourth sister, how did I offend you?"
Hua Yue looked at Zhang Jinfeng, who was even more unhappy because the two of them were so close, and lowered her voice, saying, "Do you know who you are, my eldest sister?"
Wan Qilichen was startled, then smiled bitterly and said, "Of course I know, she is my wife, the little princess of Prince Duan's Mansion."
Hua Yue said again, "No, you are wrong. She is not only your princess, but also the person you want to hold hands with for a lifetime! No matter what happened before, she married you and loved you wholeheartedly. She is this
The person closest to you in the world! I am not, and no one else is! How uncomfortable it must be for her if you scold her for an outsider! You are her husband, it is her God! Besides, look at her sadness
, are you feeling better? She is your woman. A man who cannot make his woman happy will always be a loser!"
