Fu Jin was very ill, and the Li family in the house originally wanted to take care of things.

However, with a finger of the fourth master's hand, he sent Mama Jiang out again.

When Mama Jiang got started, Li naturally had nothing to say.

For a while, the house was a lot quieter, the hostess was seriously ill, and the rest of the people could only keep a low profile.

At this time, Yunxiu Gege took the initiative to serve the sick, but Fujin did not refuse, so she lived in the main courtyard every day to serve. but let the people look up.

The fourth master has not had time to go into the backyard these days.

The affairs of the court are going to be busy to death.

The fourth master is also a related person, Kangxi Ye ordered the criminal department to strictly investigate, although the fourth master does not have to investigate, but many things also need a word from the fourth master.

This matter could not be hidden, and the Xinghui of the Ulanala clan also sued Suo Etu for deliberately killing people.

Even, the few people who did not die in the Qinglou also sued Suo Xiang for persecution.

For a while, Suo Xiang actually had a feeling of storm.

He was scolded by the emperor that day, and now he is also dragging his sick body. But he still has to go to the Qianqing Palace to defend his innocence.

Regardless of whether you can discern it or not, it is an insult to ask an old minister to go to the palace to defend his innocence.

After that, the majesty of Suo Xiang will be greatly reduced.

And the crown prince, after being ordered to scold Suo Etu, became ill.

It's just that up to now, he can't call himself sick, he just has to go to court every day.

He was afraid that as soon as he said that he was sick, he would have a lot of right and wrong.

At the end of November, it was already unusually cold.

There was a lot of snow this year, and Suo Etu entered the palace and entered the Forbidden City all the way from Donghua Gate.

After all, it's just an official with a foreign surname, and even when it's in its heyday, you can't bring people in. It's just that there is a eunuch in it.

Now that he is unlucky, naturally no eunuch dares to come up and serve without opening his eyes, in case he is seen by the above, he is afraid that if he is pulled out immediately at three moments, it will be the result of being beaten to death with a stick.

Therefore, Suo Etu was alone, staggering, dragging the sick body, from the Donghua Gate into the Forbidden City, all the way through the Wenhua Gate, through the long palace road and through the Chonglou, after the Jingyun Gate, it was outside the Qianqing Gate.

The snow is heavy, Suo Etu is holding an umbrella, and the whole person is already numb at this time.

Cold hands, cold feet, cold hearts.

He was born from a noble background and grew up playing small brocade clothes and jade food. Before he could work hard, he became an official.

After decades, the journey has been smooth, and now the official is in the cabinet, how many people can't ask for glory in a lifetime?

When...... Hold your own umbrella?

But right now, although his hands and feet are cold, his body is weak, and he is sometimes cold and sometimes hot, he can't take care of it.

It's more about face, right?

Right now, the inside is gone, how can he defend himself to calm the emperor's anger?

is to calm anger, as long as the emperor is angry, this matter can be turned into a trivial matter.

What official doesn't have a little thing about him?

The point is that he is in a different position, and this small thing has become a big thing, and it has become a big thing.

Suo Etu sighed, put the umbrella on the ground, tidied up his official uniform, and then raised his feet and entered the Qianqing Gate.

The Imperial Forest Army didn't look at him at all, just stood in rows in the snow, guarding the Qianqing Palace like a sculpture.

Suo Etu lifted the hem of his clothes and walked up step by step.

When he walked to the open space in front of the Qianqing Palace, he lifted the hem of his clothes, knelt there, and said loudly: "The old minister Suo Etu knocked on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Naturally, there would be no immediate response, Suo Etu knelt in the snow, his body trembled, and only then did he see Yan Mingchun come out: "Ouch, Suo Xiang, what did you say?" The emperor is busy making folds, you get up quickly, go in and rest. It's cold and snowy, how can it be good if it's frozen? ”

"Thank you, father-in-law, the old minister knows that he is guilty, he didn't close the door, the old minister just knelt and died here, and the old minister deserved it! Since the emperor is busy, the old minister is waiting, the snow is big, and the father-in-law will go back quickly. Suo Etu's face was already cold, and he smiled reluctantly, and his beard was covered with snowflakes, all of which became lumps.

Yan Mingchun looked at him and sighed: "It's okay, it's okay for Suo Xiang to wait." And when he had spoken, he put on the cloak that he had brought out. ”

Suo Etu thanked him, thinking about the two great eunuchs in the Forbidden City, Li Dequan was the first, and Yan Mingchun was the second.

This Li Dequan is a hard-hearted person, whatever the emperor says is what it is, and the rest, it's useless for you to ask for the rest.

Yan Mingchun is different, he has a good heart.

Thanks to Li Dequan's thoughtfulness, otherwise, he would not have known that he would have died hundreds of times.

Just like now, no one dared to come forward, but he took pity on him for his old age, and sent him a cloak.

Kangxi Ye is criticizing excerpts, but where will he not find time to see Suo Etu?

After all, he was the one who told him to defend himself.

Suo Etu began to kneel at the beginning of the hour, and by the time he arrived, he was already crumbling.

He watched several princes and courtiers enter the Qianqing Palace, and began to regret that he shouldn't have made such a bitter plan.

It's good to go in as long as possible.

Yes, he is an old minister, but in the eyes of the emperor, he is obviously not worth much.

Suo Etu thought a lot, and his most direct feeling was that now the crown prince was in decline.

The emperor gave him no face like this, but he was afraid that he was moved to abolish the prince.

Or...... Suo Etu was taken aback, or, the emperor didn't want to abolish the crown prince, but just wanted to abolish his Hesheri clan? In this way, the prince is still the prince.

But...... Without the support of Suo Xiang, the prince is a false shelf.

If so, it's okay if the prince can be stable, but what if he can't?

Then when the time comes, the prince will be papier-mâché!

The more I thought about it, the more frightened I felt, and the more I thought about it, the more sad I felt.

Suo Etu has feelings for the prince. Although they are not the grandsons of their relatives, they have been close to each other over the years.

Now, for himself and for the crown prince, Suo Etu feels that he has to hold on.

In the confusion, I don't know how many hours passed, and I saw a little eunuch come out and ask: "Suo Xiang, the emperor is invited." ”

In the end, there are people in the Spring and Autumn Period, and this time I can't get up at all.

The little eunuch took his hand and helped him up, and while holding him, he whispered: "The prince has something to say, so take care of yourself." ”

Suo Etu was overjoyed when he heard a prince, but the words of taking care of his body at the back were extremely lost.

So far, the prince can only tell him to take care of himself?

Suo Etu finally stood firm, but his body was swaying, his legs were like he was not his own, and he couldn't walk at all.

The little eunuch helped him and staggered in place for a long time, and then helped him step by step to the palace.

When he arrived at the gate of the temple, Suo Etu only felt dizzy. The little eunuch could no longer hold on, so he withdrew.

Suo Etu staggered into the inner hall, and he couldn't even see how many people were on the top, he just looked at the bright yellow and knelt down: "The old minister knocks to see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”
