Princess Anqing couldn't help sobbing: "Even the queen mother can't do anything, so Ouyang Lun has no choice but to die. As orphans and widowed mothers, we will live a miserable life in the future, so we might as well follow him and forget it."
Queen Ma said: "Don't panic. Wait until I call your elder brother to ask."
Princess Anqing: "My eldest brother is loyal and upright. I'm afraid there will be no good solution for a while. It would be best to call my twelfth brother."
Queen Ma thought for a moment: "Yes, call Lao Twelve here too."
Zhu Bai was about to go out for a walk when he was stopped by Yun Qi.
Yun Qi stammered: "Your Highness... Your Majesty, I would like to invite you to Kunning Palace."
Yunqi is now the palm eunuch, the eldest among the eunuchs, and the confidant of Queen Ma.
Empress Ma asked Yun Qi to invite Zhu Bai, firstly to give Zhu Bai face, and secondly because Yunqi had served Zhu Bai before.
Zhu Bai raised his eyebrows and asked, "Father-in-law, does he know what your Majesty wants from me?"
Yunqi saluted and said, "I don't know, little man."
The first rule of thumb if you want to be in the harem for a long time: your mouth must be tight, your ears must be deaf, and your eyes must be blind.
Zhu Bai didn't ask any more questions.
Yun Qi saw that there was only wealth around him, and then whispered: "The prince and Princess Anqing are both here. Princess Anqing cried just now."
Zhu Bai nodded slightly and guessed something in his mind: Haha, Ouyang Lun, that freeloader, has quite a high political sensitivity among other things.
As soon as he started investigating here, he knew that it would be a step ahead to ask Princess Anqing to intercede.
Zhu Bai entered Kunning Palace, greeted everyone with a smile, and then waited for them to speak.
Princess Anqing saluted Zhu Biao and Zhu Bai: "Please, brother, please save the consort."
Zhu Biao hurriedly helped Princess Anqing up: "Don't do this."
In fact, he was also in a dilemma. I didn't like Ouyang Lun in the first place, but now I wanted to beg Lao Zhuwang to forgive him for Ouyang Lun's sake.
The key point is that Li Cunyi is Hu Weiyong's best friend. If you want to get rid of Li Cunyi, you must get rid of Li Shanchang.
Princess Ke's consort Li Qi is Li Shanchang's son...
If we open one side for Ouyang Lunwang, then should we open one side for Li Qiwang?
But Princess Anqing came to plead for mercy, and he really couldn't "live up to Tathagata and live up to you"...
Zhu Biao remained silent.
Princess Anqing became more and more frightened.
Zhu Biao and her were brothers from the same mother.
Besides, Zhu Biao returns to the crown prince, the future Ninth Five-Year Plan.
Even Zhu Biao couldn't save him, let alone others.
Seeing that Zhu Biao was silent, Zhu Bai also made up his mind to make a gourd with a sawed mouth.
Princess Anqing sobbed: "Brother, twelfth brother. Do you really have the heart to let me become a widow at such a young age? It was you who asked me to marry him in the first place."
When Zhu Biao heard this, he softened his heart and turned to Zhu Bai: "Brother Twelve, is there any good way that does not violate the dignity of national law and does not harm family harmony?"
Seeing Zhu Biao coming to beg him, Zhu Bai knew that he still wanted to save Ouyang Lun, so he smiled at Princess Anqing: "Fourth sister. Actually, you are the only one who can save the prince-in-law."
Princess Anqing: "Ah?!"
Zhu Bai said: "When father comes, you don't have to do anything, just say 'cry'."
When he said this, Princess Anqing understood it.
Lao Zhu returned to the palace to have dinner and take a lunch break.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw Princess Anqing holding Queen Ma and crying. Zhu Biao and Zhu Bai standing aside looked sad.
Lao Zhu's heart was beating wildly and he asked, "What's going on?"
Princess Anqing threw herself into Lao Zhu's arms and cried, until she was out of breath.
Lao Zhu's hands and feet were cold: "Ah, what's wrong? You should talk and don't just cry. You are pregnant with Liujia. It's too harmful to cry like this."
Zhu Biao said: "Sister, stop crying, don't frighten father."
Princess Anqing sobbed and said to Lao Zhu, "Master, save me."
Lao Zhu gritted his teeth: "But Ouyang Lun was rude to you."
Princess Anqing: "He has never been nice to me. It is because he is nice to me that I feel sad for him. Thinking about it, I will be widowed at a young age and the child in my belly will be orphaned before he is born. How can I not cry? .”
Lao Zhu frowned: "Don't be afraid, speak slowly. We want to see who dares to touch our son-in-law?!"
Princess Anqing: "But the prince-in-law accepted a lot of funding from Hu Weiyong when he was humble, and he knew it was wrong. Now that Hu Weiyong is so bold, he will be unlucky one day, and the prince-son-in-law will definitely be implicated."
Lao Zhu suddenly remembered what happened to Ouyang Lun before, and then immediately thought of Li Qi.
If you let Ouyang Lun go, then let Li Qi go.
Even if Li Qi is not killed and only Li Shanchang is killed, are you afraid that Li Qi will regard the eldest princess as the enemy who killed his father?
Li Qi had many unspeakable but extremely painful ways to secretly torture the princess.
Lao Zhu said: "Let's think about it again."
Princess Anqing stopped crying in time.
Since Lao Zhu said this, he probably wouldn't kill Ouyang Lun.
Lao Zhu sighed: "Sure enough, women are not allowed to stay in the university."
When Zhu Bai and Zhu Biao came out, they saw that he was still unhappy and smiled: "Brother, you don't have to take it seriously. Actually, my father also wishes he had a reason not to kill Li Shanchang."
Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Bai and nodded slightly: That's true.
It was not once or twice that Lao Zhu opened his eyes to Li Shan.
In fact, even without Li Qi, he would have found other excuses to let Li Shanchang go.
Now it just gives Lao Zhu an excellent step.
When Princess Anqing returned to her residence, Ouyang Lun stood at the door to greet her and helped the princess get out of the car: "Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness."
Yin Qin brought tea to Princess Anqing and tried it to see if it was hot before handing it to the princess.
After Princess Anqing finished drinking, she dared to ask: "How is it?"
Princess Anqing said: "Oh, in this world, only Lao Twelve can do it."
Then she told the story.
Ouyang Lun sighed: "Your Highness helped me again."
The smarter Zhu Bai is, the more scared he is.
Because this means that it will be increasingly impossible for him to find opportunities to do anything under Zhu Bai's nose in the future.
-----
Throughout the twelfth lunar month and the first lunar month, people were arrested from time to time and taken to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation about Wang Guangyang. Some were released after a few questions, while others were locked up directly.
All officials in Yingtian City were shrouded in fear.
Even Zhu Bai and Zhu Biao were nervous because they didn't want to be too involved.
The common people were unaware that they were still happy during the Chinese New Year, visiting relatives, visiting temple fairs, and setting off firecrackers.
Lao Zhu had already ordered people to surround the residences of Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang.
The task of raiding Wang Guangyang's home naturally fell on Zhu Bai again.
It's not that Lao Zhu favors Zhu Bai, but that he doesn't trust others.
Does Zhu Biao have such a strong and loyal person?
Zhu Bai now has half the national treasury in his hands, and he doesn't look down on the three melons and two dates of Wang Guangyang's family at all.
Zhu Bai is tired of this job, to be honest. In addition to raiding the homes of Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang. He was not interested in anyone else.
He stood in the corridor with his hands behind his back, watching the Dongcheng Army Commander carry out the boxes of things and put them in the yard. Then Fugui and the others sorted them, counted and recorded them, affixed seals, and then waited for the captain of the army to carry them into the palace.
