"The Governor has an order that no one is allowed in or out. Mr. Liu, please come back."
In front of the gate of Dong Ji Shi Factory, Feng Li, the stall owner, stretched out his hand to stop Liu Yingrong.
"Why, my father has just stepped down as chief minister of the cabinet a few days ago, and you dare to treat me with such contempt!"
Liu Yingrong, who was dressed as a nobleman, raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He hit Feng Li's chest with the folding fan in his hand and asked.
Feng Li, who originally had a neither humble nor arrogant attitude, immediately broke into cold sweat when he heard this and hurriedly explained.
"Mr. Liu, please don't misunderstand me. I am also following orders."
"Hmph! I know that Princess Yinguang is inside, and there is no palace maid accompanying her, so I thought of coming over to accompany her. As a close friend of the princess, there is nothing wrong with this move."
Liu Yingrong didn't mean to embarrass Feng Li, so she softened her tone.
"this…"
Feng Li knew that the relationship between Liu Yingrong and Princess Yinguang was extraordinary, and before the governor left, he only said that no one was allowed to leave the East Factory, but he did not say that no one was allowed to enter. After weighing it in his mind for a moment, Feng Li lowered his voice and said.
"In that case, I can let Mr. Liu in. But he is not allowed to leave until the governor comes back."
"Since I am here to accompany the princess, I naturally have to advance and retreat together with the princess."
"That's good, that's good. Someone, take Mr. Liu to see the princess."
Zhu Yueyao, who was arranged in the wing room, immediately collapsed on the chair as if she had collapsed after Fanzi left the room and closed the door.
Now she only feels numbness in her hands and feet, her heartbeat is racing, and her head is no longer as clear-headed as when she was just talking.
According to Liu Yingrong's plan, everything that needs to be said has been said and everything that needs to be done has been done. Next, we can only wait for the reply from the mother and the emperor's brother in the palace.
After sitting quietly for a moment and waiting for the numbness to subside, Zhu Yueyao stood up, mingling her hands and fingers together, and pacing back and forth in the room anxiously.
Ever since she realized that she was in love with Rong Fei, Zhu Yueyao could no longer think rationally and analyze anything related to Rong Fei.
As Liu Yingrong's mother said, once a woman is moved, she loses her soul.
Not long after, there were footsteps outside the door, and Zhu Yueyao hurriedly sat back on the chair, pretending to be calm and calm.
There was a creaking sound as the door was pushed open, and someone heard footsteps entering the room. Then there was another creaking sound and the door was closed again.
Zhu Yueyao, who was sitting with her back to the door, frowned, thinking that the fans in Dongchang were too unruly, how could they dare to come in without asking for permission.
Just as he was about to reprimand, an arm hugged his shoulders.
"presumptuous!"
Zhu Yueyao scolded angrily, stood up, turned around and was about to slap him away. As a result, he saw Liu Yingrong standing behind him with a smile on his face.
"Sister Yingrong!"
Zhu Yueyao turned from anger to joy and threw herself into Liu Yingrong's arms.
Liu Yingrong pinched Zhu Yueyao's delicate chin, raised her face slightly, and teased her with a smile.
"Hey, let me see which young lady this young lady has fallen in love with. I'm afraid she can't wait to spend the night in the bridal chamber. Hehehe, how about letting me comfort the young lady. "
Facing Liu Yingrong's teasing, Zhu Yueyao didn't listen at all. She hugged Liu Yingrong's equally slender and soft waist tightly with her arms, shook her head to get rid of the clamp of her fingers, and then buried it between the petite and exquisite but unusually firm short peaks. , said almost groaning.
"Sister Yingrong, I feel so panicked. What if... what if my mother and the emperor's brother don't agree? Even if they agree, what if Rong Fei is forced to kill Ji Rou'er? With their two Emotionally, Rong Fei will definitely hate me to death. What should I do, Sister Yingrong, I am really panicked and scared now."
"fool."
Liu Yingrong forcibly lifted Zhu Yueyao's head up again, stretched out her fingers to scrape Zhu Yueyao's nose lovingly, and comforted her confidently.
"Don't underestimate the courage of the concubine and your majesty. There is no fixed law and no rule. As long as the benefits are great enough, breaking the old rules is inevitable. Just put your heart in your stomach and wait to be your earl. Madam." 33
When it was time for lunch, Jiashen had not come back yet, so Feng Li, the stall owner, went to the restaurant to order a few tables of good food and wine and brought them in to entertain the great Confucian scholars and their descendants.
The great scholars were worried about what would happen in the palace, so they had little appetite, but the descendants of the nobles ate and drank heartlessly. The people who came to Dongchang today to exert pressure were originally ordered by the fathers of each family, but they didn't pay much attention to whether it was successful or not.
During the dinner, only Pei Jianlai, the third son of Dingyuan Hou, had the best relationship with Chang Huaien, who kept his head down and drank sullenly.
It seems that although the descendants of Xunqi who were born and raised in wealthy families like them are uneducated and incompetent, few of them are true fools. When Zhu Yueyao did not hesitate to gamble her reputation in exchange for clearing her name, Pei Jiancai already knew that his good brother's death was in vain.
In the past, I bullied others, but now I am suffering from retribution.
It’s so frustrating!
Pei Jianlai knew that there was no chance to avenge his good brother and seek justice, so he could only burn more gold and silver ingots, paper figures, cows and horses after he went back, so that Chang Huaien could live more comfortably underground.
It wasn't until the afternoon that Jiashen hurried back to Dongjishi Factory.
First, someone was sent to escort Zhu Yueyao back to the palace, and then he came to meet all the great scholars and his descendants.
"Chang Huai'en was unethical and flirted with the princess when he was drunk. Rong Fei killed him in order to preserve the princess' reputation. He was released immediately. The case has been found out. Please go back."
After saying that, Jiashen turned sideways to make way for the door and made a farewell gesture towards everyone.
Zou Qiying, Pei Jianlai and other descendants of Xunqiu had already anticipated that this would be the final result, and each sighed in their hearts and left angrily.
The great scholars got the results they wanted and left with satisfaction. Only Huang Liangyi, Fang Datong and Gao Bin stayed.
"Mr. A, tell me the truth, what is going on."
"Sigh...it's a long story."
The three Huang Liang and Yi had special identities, so Jiashen did not hide anything and told the whole story of the incident.
"This bastard! What a good death. If Rong Fei hadn't taken action, I would have strangled him alive with my own hands."
After hearing this, Fang Datong slapped Gao Bin on the back and cursed with hatred through gritted teeth.
"Three of you, this matter is related to the safety of the border. You must not let it out."
Jiashen reminded solemnly.
"I'll know of course."
Huang Liang and Yi three nodded in response, and then couldn't help but worry.
"It's just... Chang Huaien is the only son of Marquis Jingyuan after all. How can he just give up?"
"You three, please relax, Your Majesty has his own plan to deal with it. Marquis Jingyuan should have gone to the palace to apologize by now."
"That's good, that's good."
Huang Liangyi and the other three nodded with relief, raised their hands and were about to leave, but were stopped by Jiashen.
"There is a very important matter that Your Majesty wants to entrust to three people."
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"Write an article."
"Article...what article?"
"This article allows Fencheng Bo to legally marry two head wives, and one of the two head wives is the eldest princess of the dynasty. The three of them also know that such violations of etiquette and law will bring disgrace to the royal family. Secondly, it will also have an impact on the reputation of Uncle Fencheng."
Huang Liangyi and the others were startled for a moment, but then they realized what they were doing and assured them by patting their chests hard.
"a piece of cake!"
…
In the imperial study room, Zhu Sheng handed the filled wine glass to Chang Gaoyuan's hand, his eyes full of guilt, and he said apologetically.
"Brother, I have wronged you this time."
Chang Gaoyuan didn't feel any sadness that should be expected after losing a son. Instead, his face was full of relief. He took the wine glass and drank it in one gulp.
"It doesn't matter. This matter started because Qiu'er made a mistake in the first place. It's also appropriate to teach him a lesson. But His Majesty is so wise and powerful that he can come up with such a way to get the best of both worlds. In fact, he is completely convinced and sincerely convinced."
"Hahaha, how does it compare to the second brother's clever calculation?"
Zhu Sheng shook his wine glass and asked proudly.
"Worse than that."
Chang Gaoyuan will naturally not miss the opportunity to flatter him.
…
In a village under the name of Jingyuan Marquis outside Kyoto, the news of Chang Yanei's murder has come. The servants of the village all looked solemn and even walked softly, for fear that the sound would be too loud to attract the attention of the housekeeper. , was scolded or even beaten.
There is a secret room below Zhuangzi's main house that only a few core personnel know about. In the secret room, the pale-faced Chang Huaien coughed twice, put down his wine glass, and squinted his eyes to look at the corner of the secret room.
That was the direction of Kyoto City. Although his sight could not penetrate through the thick brick walls and land, Chang Huaien still imagined the scene in Jingyuan Houfu at this time in his mind.
"At this time, I should have been killed by Rong Fei."
Some people died, but not completely...
