Chapter 877: See You in Prison (Two Chapters in One)
Seeing that the imperial brother left the Heart Cultivation Palace angrily, Princess Yongchun couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's really easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, the court shouldn't have recruited a capricious person like An Wangzhi in the first place." ”
"Don't say it, Jinghaihou is really dangerous this time." Princess Yongfu sighed.
Princess Yongchun woke up at this time, it was Xu Jin who brought Wang Zhi over, and Wang Zhi's position of Oriental Protector was also appointed by Xu Jin, so she couldn't help but spit out her pink tongue and said: "It's over, Xu Jin's guy is really unlucky, he won't really be cut off by the imperial brother this time." ”
Exactly: the roof leak was even more affected by the overnight rain, and the ship was broken and encountered a head wind. Xu Jin was already in prison at the moment, and he wanted to get rid of him quickly, but at this time, Wang Zhi reversed, which undoubtedly added another charge to him of "not knowing people, and not paying attention to people", so that those who wanted to put him to death could be even more justified.
Chen Jiuchou was dismissed and investigated for "lying and pretending to be meritorious", and even Peng Ze, the secretary of the military department who recommended him to patrol Gansu, was also deprived of his post and questioned, and now the nature of Wang Zhi's rebellion is much more serious than Chen Jiuchou's, and Xu Jin, as the chief official who recruited and appointed Wang Zhi, is naturally also guilty of inescapability, and if he adds the previous crime, I am afraid that his life will be difficult to protect.
Princess Yongfu's original intention of coming to Qianqing Palace this time was to intercede for Xu Jin, and she didn't mean to cut Xu Jin when she watched the emperor's performance just now, but who knew that such a thing suddenly happened, but the consequences were unpredictable.
Anyway, do your best, the destiny of heaven, if the destiny is like this, there is nothing you can do, Princess Yongfu sighed secretly, and said to Yongchun: "Let's go back!" ”
Just as Yongfu and Yongchun left the Heart Cultivation Hall and were about to return to Cining Palace, they met a little eunuch outside the palace gate. The autumn rain was still falling, and the little eunuch was holding an umbrella and walking in a hurry, almost colliding with Princess Yongfu and her party, and was scolded by the foreman and palace maid who was in charge of opening the way on the spot. This little eunuch had a humble position, but he was only in charge of running errands on the periphery of the palace, and he was so frightened that he knelt on the wet ground and kowtowed to forgiveness.
Princess Yongfu has always been kind to others, and when she saw this, she said softly: "Hurry up, forget it this time, next time you walk in the palace, remember to be careful." ”
"Princess Xie Kaigen, the slave knows!" The little eunuch stood up with relief, secretly glad that it was Princess Yongfu who had collided.
Princess Yongchun wrinkled her nose and said, "You shouldn't be waiting for the emperor, why did you come to Qianqing Palace?" ”
"Back to Her Royal Highness the princess, the slave is the eunuch on duty at the palace gate, and the lord of Yongxiu is asking to see the emperor outside the palace gate at the moment, so the slave came to report." The little eunuch replied truthfully.
"Sister Xiaowan is here!" Yongchun and Yongfu glanced at each other, needless to say, Xie Xiaowan came to plead with the emperor.
"The emperor is not in the Heart Cultivation Hall at the moment, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient to see the county lord of Yongxiu!" Yongfu Light Road.
"Oh, that minion has gone back to the county lord of Yongxiu Jun!" The little eunuch turned around and wanted to leave.
Princess Yongfu hurriedly said: "Wait, this princess will go with you to meet her!" ”
The little eunuch naturally didn't dare to object, and took Yongfu and Qichun to You'anmen, at this moment Xie Xiaowan was waiting anxiously, and when she saw Yongfu and Yongchun coming together, she couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Xiaowan see the two princesses." ”
Yongfu said softly: "Sister Xiaowan doesn't need to be polite, the emperor is busy with political affairs in the Wenhua Palace at the moment, and he is not out of time to meet Sister Xiaowan." ”
Xie Xiaowan's eyes couldn't help but darken, she only thought that Emperor Jiajing avoided her, and suddenly became even more worried and anxious. Princess Yongfu was exquisite, and when she saw this, she hurriedly comforted: "Sister Xiaowan, don't worry, the emperor is indeed busy with political affairs, and he is not avoiding Sister Xiaowan." ”
Xie Xiaowan was a little relieved when she heard this, and her eyes were slightly red and said: "Xiaowan just went to the Fusi Yamen in Jinyi Weibei Town to visit Xianggong, but the Jinyi captain who guarded the door stopped him in every possible way, and claimed that Xianggong was a prisoner and could only be visited with the permission of the emperor. ”
Princess Yongchun raised her eyebrows and said: "How can this be reasonable, isn't this a clear bully, Sister Xiaowan, don't be afraid, I'll accompany you on a trip to see which one dares to stop without opening your eyes." ”
The foreman palace maid next to her hurriedly reminded: "Without the permission of the Queen Mother, the princess cannot leave the palace without permission." ”
Princess Yongchun suddenly blushed in embarrassment, felt very faceless, and glared at the mouthy foreman palace maid in annoyance.
Yongfu frowned and said, "In this way, Sister Xiaowan will enter the palace with us to see the Queen Mother, and then ask for a decree, I believe that those Jinyi captains will not dare not let them go." ”
Xie Xiaowan's eyes lit up, and she said gratefully: "Thank you Princess Yongfu so much!" ”
So, Xie Xiaowan and Yongfu Yongchun entered the palace to meet Empress Dowager Jiang.
"Alas, Brother Jin, why is this kid so confused, but it's hard for you!" Empress Dowager Jiang chattered for a while, but she happily sent an old man to accompany Xie Xiaowan to the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen.
When Xie Xiaowan returned to the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen again, the old man next to the Queen Mother revealed his identity, and the two Jinyi lieutenants who guarded the door suddenly did not dare to stop them, and obediently let Xie Xiaowan in.
"Xianggong!"
When Xie Xiaowan saw Xu Jin in the dimly lit prison, she immediately burst into tears, covering her small mouth and crying out sadly.
"Sir!" Yue'er and Chuxia, the two pretty maids, carrying clothes and food boxes, also cried.
Xu Jin was lying in the clean pile in the corner with his eyes closed, and sat up with a swish, and when he saw Xie Xiaowan standing outside the fence, he was so excited that he blurted out: "Lady! ”
Bang dang......
The cell door was opened, and the brocade-clothed lieutenant said lazily: "As soon as the visiting time is full of incense, you have to leave immediately when the time comes!" With that, he walked away.
"Xianggong!" Xie Xiaowan got into it, threw herself into Xu Jin's arms, and cried whining.
Xu Jin was both heartbroken and ashamed, hugged Xiaowan tightly, the two hugged tightly for a while, Xie Xiaowan began to check on Xu Jin, Xu Jin hurriedly held her little hand and said: "Lady, my husband was not injured, and he didn't suffer anything, it's okay!" ”
Xie Xiaowan stubbornly checked Xianggong's whole body up and down to confirm that he had not been tortured, so she relieved her mind and instructed Yue'er and Chuxia to put away the bedding and clothes and other items they brought.
"Xianggong must be hungry, I brought your favorite dish!" Xie Xiaowan said as she took out the lunch bowl in the food box.
Xu Jin felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and at this time he would rather scold him twice, or even beat him up.
"Lady!" Xu Jin held Xie Xiaowan's soft little hand and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Xianggong has tired you, or you can scold me, just beat me!" ”
Xie Xiaowan said gently: "Xianggong, don't say anything, hurry up and eat, or it should be cold." ”
"Lady, don't you blame me?"
Xie Xiaowan sighed and said: "I heard what Princess Yongfu said, Xianggong didn't do anything wrong, if Xianggong really did what the emperor wanted, I would scold you instead, the orphans and widows are pitiful enough, if Xianggong can't bear to hurt them again, it is simply intolerable." ”
"Uh...... Lady, you know it all! Xu Jin said in a sneering manner.
Xie Xiaowan glanced at Xu Jin and said lightly: "That child is more than three years old!" ”
Xu Jin nodded a little embarrassedly and said, "Three years old and two months old, seven months premature, so it's only about half a year younger than Kang'er." ”
Xie Xiaowan said movingly: "Seven months of premature birth, it is not easy to raise it, I must have suffered a lot." ”
Xu Jin nodded, with the medical conditions in ancient times, even the emperor's children could easily die, and it was a miracle that a seven-month-old premature baby like Huo'er could survive safely, and I don't know how much Xin'er suffered to raise Huo'er safely.
Xie Xiaowan glanced at Xianggong with a little resentment, thinking about how difficult it was for her to have a child back then, and she finally got pregnant, but the woman and Xianggong Hu were tricked in the dark, and they felt annoying when they thought about it.
Xu Jin naturally understood the connotation in Xiao Wan's eyes, and couldn't help sweating, he didn't understand why the hit rate was so high, it was probably related to the medicine that day, he was in a daze, and he didn't know how many degrees the plum blossomed in, anyway, it was a lot of degrees!
Xie Xiaowan sighed lightly and said: "Although it is just a sin made by mistake, since she is willing to give birth to a child for Xianggong, it can be seen that she is not ruthless to Xianggong, not to mention that the child is innocent and should not be harmed." So Xiao Wan doesn't blame Xiang Gong for disobeying the king's order, if Xiang Gong doesn't think about flesh and blood and treats their mother and son cruelly, Xiao Wan feels chilled, I believe Ruyi and Jixiang They also think so. ”
Xu Jin couldn't help but be greatly moved, it is difficult to have a confidant in life, it is even more difficult to get a confidant, it is even more difficult to be close to the nuance, and it is even more difficult to understand and support his wife. If you have a wife like this, what more can a husband ask for?
"Don't worry, the lady is expected to have no worries about his life this time, at most he will be dismissed and cut off!" Xu Jin lightly hugged Xiao Wan's slender waist and comforted.
Xie Xiaowan has a blind trust in Xianggong, since Xianggong said that it was okay, then it must be fine, as for the official position or something, she doesn't care too much, as long as the family is safe and tidy.
"How is the family now, Kang'er, Ruyi and Jixiang are okay?" Xu Jin asked.
Xie Xiaowan obviously didn't want Xianggong to worry, so she pretended to be relaxed and said, "Everyone is fine, Xianggong should hurry up and eat!" After speaking, I brought chopsticks to Xu Jinbu.
After half the incense, Xu Jin swept away the food brought by Xie Xiaowan like a cloud. Although he was not abused along the way, since he entered the prison of Fusi in Beizhen, the treatment has not been so good, after all, this is Lu Bing's territory, and he burned high incense without being tortured, and it is impossible to eat and drink well.
"Is the lord hungry, alas, this prison is dirty, there is not even a bed to sleep in, and the emperor is really, he doesn't read the slightest affection, and the lord is fighting for his country." Yue'er, the beautiful maid, wiped her mouth for Xu Jin and complained in a low voice.
"No, the emperor is not too ruthless, if he dares to come back to the mansion to flirt with Miss Zhi'er in the future, see if the maid doesn't kick him out!" Early summer also said ruthlessly.
Xu Jin couldn't help but sweat secretly, these two little hooves really dared to say that as far as his current crime was concerned, if Zhu Hou didn't think about it, he would probably have fallen to the ground long ago.
"In the early summer of Yue'er, don't talk nonsense, be careful that the wall has ears, if it reaches the emperor's ears, see if you still have a small life!" Xie Xiaowan reprimanded in a low voice.
Chu Xia glanced around, stuck out his tongue in fear, and said, "Madam, there is no one else!" ”
"There's still half an hour left to see the visit over, hurry up and pack up and get ready to leave!" Just now, the brocade-clothed lieutenant walked in from outside and shouted.
Early summer and Yue'er hurriedly cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.
Xu Jin hugged Xie Xiaowan lightly and said: "Lady, go back first, it will be ten days in short, and half a month in the latest, there should be results." During this time, let the people in the house stay at home as much as possible and don't go out! ”
Although Xu Jin doesn't know the situation outside, he has a lot of opponents, and now that he is in prison, it is inevitable that some unwilling lonely cow ghosts and snake gods will take the opportunity to run out to brush up their sense of existence.
Xie Xiaowan nodded and said softly: "I know, Xianggong also has to take care of his body, oh yes, I almost forgot, Princess Yongfu asked me to bring a message to Xianggong: Wang Zhizhi!" ”
Xu Jin's face couldn't help but change, and blurted out: "The king is the opposite, why?" ”
Xie Xiaowan's sensitivity to politics is not high, in her opinion, Wang Zhi is the opposite, anyway, it is not about his own business, so she doesn't attach much importance to this matter, but at this time, seeing Xianggong's reaction is so big, she immediately realized the seriousness, shook her head and said in a panic: "I don't know, Princess Yongfu didn't say why Wang Zhi was opposed, Xianggong, what's wrong?" ”
Xu Jin's face instantly returned to normal, and he didn't want Xiao Wan to worry, so he smiled: "It's okay, it's just a little shocked!" ”
"Oh!" Xie Xiaowan snorted suspiciously, and asked again, "Xianggong, is this really okay?" ”
Xu Jin nodded and said: "It's really okay, Wang Zhi's rebellion in the Wa Kingdom will not affect the Ming Dynasty, don't worry." Oh yes, come here, lady! ”
Xu Jin made a gesture and motioned for Xie Xiaowan to lean his face over, and the latter couldn't help blushing, but he still obediently put his face up, but what he expected didn't happen, Xiang Gong just leaned into his ear and whispered a few words.
Xie Xiaowan was stunned for a moment, continued to change her face slightly, and said in horror, "Xianggong......"
Xu Jin smiled and said, "Don't worry, just in case, it is estimated that after ten days and eight days, the emperor will let me out!" ”
When the brocade-clothed captain standing outside the door heard this, he sneered silently, and shouted with a strong sense of mockery, "It's time to visit, let's go!" ”
Xie Xiaowan and Yue'er picked up the food box in early summer and reluctantly walked out of the prison door, Xu Jin waved his hand calmly and said, "Remember to keep it, don't lose it." ”
Xie Xiaowan had an ominous premonition in her heart, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will!" ”
Bang dang......
The heavy iron door of the cell closed, and the light dimmed immediately, and the smile on Xu Jin's face quickly faded and changed to a dignified color.
"It's bad, Wang Zhi actually rebelled at this juncture!" Xu Jin's heart was extremely heavy, and he regretted that he had appointed Wang Zhi too hastily at that time, but the matter had come to this point, and now he could only hope that that thing would work.
