Chapter 175 Stop
Although King Nan promised to help Tilan, he only believed in himself and no one in this matter.
"Okay." King Yu nodded.
Shen Zhiyue was sent back to the room covered in blood. The imperial doctor came to treat her and said that her heart pulse was not damaged and she would be fine after a few days of rest.
The palace maid untied her clothes and helped her apply medicine. It was shocking to see the wounds on her body punctured by the thorns from the whip.
Everyone knows that Mrs. Nan Wang is giving porridge outside the city. She also finds jobs for the refugees and helps them survive in the capital. She is a good person.
In the dead of night, the entire palace was quiet, and the emperor was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study.
The sisters from the embroidery workshop knelt outside the palace and shouted: "Let Mrs. Nan Wang go, God has no eyes to see, and let a good man sacrifice to God."
The emperor heard the sound and looked outside: "What's the noise outside?"
The father-in-law came back from a trip and said: "Your Majesty, a group of women are kneeling outside the palace, begging the Emperor to let Mrs. Nan Wang go."
"Is this happening?" The emperor was puzzled.
She was just the daughter of a merchant. Not long after she entered the capital, she managed to win people's hearts. Someone actually interceded for her.
Seeing that he didn't take what Mrs. Nan Wang had done to heart, the father-in-law couldn't help but say: "Some time ago, the refugees were wreaking havoc in the capital, stealing and hurting people, and even Nan Wang was helpless. It was Mrs. Nan Wang who came forward to solve the problem. "
The emperor looked at him: "Really?"
The father-in-law knew that the emperor had many things to do, but it was inappropriate not to remember such things. Although he thought so in his heart, he did not dare to say a word.
"How many people are kneeling outside the palace?" the emperor asked.
"Look at a dozen or so."
The father-in-law answered honestly, still wondering if there would be a turn for the better.
The emperor thought to himself that there were only so many people, and they were all women. When they got tired of kneeling, they should go back.
"Let the Imperial Guards ignore them and let them shout."
Another day, Bai Mingyu was sitting in the executive office, looking for a convincing murderer. Yu Cong came in with food and saw that the prince had not touched anything on the table at all. Even the teapot was full.
The prince did not drink enough water to read the information. In this way, before the wife could be rescued, the prince's body collapsed first.
"Your Majesty, it's better to have something to eat and rest, and leave the rest to your subordinates for inspection."
Bai Mingyu was still worried about leaving this matter to others. When he looked up, his eyes felt dizzy. He really needed to rest.
When Yu Cong saw him stop, he immediately poured a cup of tea and handed it to him. He took it, drank it in one gulp, and put down the cup.
"Go out and wait."
Yu Cong was somewhat unable to do anything to him: "Your Majesty, if you continue to do this, I will have no choice but to invite the concubine here."
He saw that the prince was still indifferent. The prince listened to the concubine the most. Maybe the concubine's arrival would be of great help, so he asked someone to go to the prince's palace to spread the word.
The concubine heard that he had been staying at the executive office for another night, and her body couldn't bear it anymore, so she left the palace.
She saw many people running towards the palace on the street, and she asked: "What happened?"
"Back to the concubine, there are people kneeling at the entrance of the palace, begging the emperor to let Mrs. Nan Wang go. These people should be rushing to watch the excitement."
The concubine listened and said: "I didn't expect that she had some abilities." She was able to win people's hearts not long after arriving in the capital.
Now the two people in the palace should have a headache again, and she felt much better when she thought about it.
The carriage stopped at the door of the executive office. Nanny helped her get out of the carriage, and Yu Cong was waiting at the door.
Since the death of the old prince, the concubine rarely goes out. She can count dozens of times every year on her fingers.
Yu Cong went up to greet her and said, "Concubine, I'd better advise the prince. I haven't had enough water and rice for two days. If I continue like this, my body will be unable to bear it."
"Take me to see him."
She walked into his office and saw him flipping through documents. She walked over and put her hand on the pile of documents.
"Ming Yu, that's enough. If this is coming for the Bai family, the enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. It's impossible to guard against them. You have to take care of yourself first before you can deal with those people."
"Mother, after this, Yue'er will sacrifice to the sky. There are no clues from Lao Ge. If the murderer can't be found..."
His voice was a little choked. If he couldn't find the culprit, he could only watch the moon and worship the sky.
The moment he raised his head, the concubine saw that his eyes were blue, his beard was sprouting, his hair was messy, his robe was wrinkled, and he didn't look at all high-spirited.
A woman could actually influence him like this. If the enemy in the dark one day took advantage of him, it would be enough to kill him.
The concubine had the idea of letting her die. Only if she died would he have no weaknesses. But he had already resigned, so it was a good thing to have Shen Zhiyue by his side.
The concubine was also in a state of confusion. Bai Mingyu begged: "Mother, concubine, please hand over the jade pendant for the burial of my father. I can still have two days of delay."
"Don't even think about it, I said, no one can touch your father's coffin, no one can."
How the old prince was buried is a secret. Once the coffin is opened, the past will no longer be revealed.
Bai Mingyu couldn't understand. Although he was a little rebellious at this time, weren't the living people more important? If his father was still alive, he would choose to save people even if there was only one in ten thousand chance.
He had the same idea as his father on this point. He couldn't watch a human being die unjustly. Any sacrifice to heaven was simply nonsense.
"Concubine, why are you reacting so loudly?"
The concubine looked at him: "Your father's death cannot be implicated. The consequences will be that the entire Bai family will not be able to live in peace."
Seeing the tough attitude of his mother and concubine, Bai Mingyu knew that this matter would never work from here, so he didn't say anything more, but lowered his head and continued to select the murderer.
The concubine looked at his desperate look and said with a cold face: "If you don't cherish your body anymore, then don't blame me for killing her."
Bai Mingyu shouted in a low voice: "Mother Concubine!" There was a hint of warning in his words.
"She has become your weakness, and for this reason alone she must die."
"As long as I am here, no one can touch Yue'er."
"You are really crazy." The concubine said with a sullen face, "Yu Cong, take the prince back to the palace. No one is allowed to let him out without my order."
Bai Mingyu said with a gloomy face: "Stop."
Yu Cong immediately stopped and asked the concubine for help. Why, it seemed that the two of them were about to fight.
Then whose orders should he obey?! Everyone on the left and right is dead, which really makes things difficult for his subordinates.
The concubine ordered: "Yu Cong, escort him back to the palace."
"Stand there!"
Yu Cong looked embarrassed: "Otherwise, I should just wait at the door." He walked out of the room and closed the door thoughtfully.
The concubine reminded: "You should know that you must not have any weaknesses in this position. When your father became the sword of the imperial court, he offended many people. Can those people let you go?"
