After being a widow, the empress dowager was favored by the powerful ministers

Chapter 159
Jian Jia's words made Lou's wife and Lou Shang turn red and white with scolding.

Mrs. Lou's family lowered her eyes and smiled apologetically, "Young lady must have misunderstood, I didn't mean that just now."

How would she want to bring her only son into this palace, but the father-in-law is now in the prison of Dali Temple, this incident involves many people, and the mother-in-law dragged down many relationships to inquire, only to find out that what the father-in-law committed was felony.

The presiding judge was King Jing, and Pei Ci assisted him.

If Sheng Baoling hadn't spoken up about this case, how could the father-in-law still be alive?

To her, the Lou family was a great favor. Her husband died early, and since her mother-in-law opened her mouth, how could she have a second choice.

Without Lou's family, where can she go.

Lou Shang stood aside, feeling that he couldn't hold back his face, he knew why he entered the palace today, he didn't want to do such obscene things, but there was always a voice in his heart, go and have a look, go find someone Answer.

The person who was my classmate for nearly a year was Sheng Lang or Sheng Baoling.

With such a thought that even he couldn't be sure of, Lou Shang, who put his face more important than anything else, followed his mother into the palace.

He knew that if the news of entering the palace today got out, he would no longer have the face to gain a foothold in Bianjing.

Jian Jia sneered, "It doesn't matter whether my mother likes to eat or not, her mouth is always tricky, she doesn't have to taste everything, but this goose meat can be distinguished from toad meat."

Mrs. Lou's family didn't say anything, she could hear the irony in Jian Jia's words.

This is satirizing the Lou family's listening to the wind and rain, and hearing some rumors, they rushed to send their own son into the palace to flatter them.

He is also implying that even if the rumors are true, then Pei Ci is still a swan, but Lou Shang is nothing but a toad.

Even if Sheng Baoling wanted to eat meat, he would eat swan meat instead of looking for toads on the ground.

If he heard this on a daily basis, the wife of the Lou family and Lou Shang would definitely have a hard time with this court lady and discuss it.

But the situation is different now, the Lou family is in danger, and the only one who can save the Lou family is Sheng Baoling. It is said that this maid is the personal maid who has been with Sheng Baoling since she was a child, and now she is the eldest maid of the Hall of Compassion. Feelings are extraordinary.

How can you offend easily.

Right now, I can bear it.

After all, before entering the palace, Lou Shang bathed and changed his clothes, and just burned incense for half an hour, because the information he heard said that the Empress Dowager was obsessed with the way of incense, so she did it to win Sheng Baoling's favor.

This time, I had such filthy thoughts in my mind.

The embarrassment at the moment is also self-inflicted.

When Qiu Yi came out, she heard these words, but she could only guess a little bit, she said in a deep voice, "Mrs. Lou, please follow the slaves into the palace."

When Mrs. Lou followed Qiuyi inside, she turned her head and glanced at her son, feeling in her heart that even she couldn't tell the difference.

Lou Shang looked up at this completely unfamiliar palace, and his heart was surprisingly quiet.

Jian Jia snorted a few times, and ordered people to watch it carefully, it was impossible to put the bugs in it.

Then Mr. Pei said that he had a unique good looks in Bianjing, and he was appointed as the prime minister before he was thirty, so his future prospects are uncertain.

Just looking at these, it is difficult to find a second one in Bianjing City that can be compared with Mr. Pei.

Her family's mother is really greedy for beauty, so she should eat a banished fairy like Mr. Pei, why would she take a second look at the vulgar thing next to her?
...

Mrs. Lou's family entered the hall and saw Sheng Baoling who hadn't seen her for many years.

The little girl, who was only about ten years old back then, has not yet grown up, but now she has grown into a graceful figure.

Just sitting there, without speaking or laughing, one could feel the coercion on that person, no less than the Queen Mother Fan back then.

"My wife, I pay my respects to the Empress Dowager."

Only then did Sheng Baoling lazily raise her eyes, and her eyes fell on the kneeling person, "Get up."

Others felt that they should resent the Lou family.

Sometimes, even she wondered if she should really blame the Lou family.

But when she thought about it, she was only in her teens back then, and she didn't have much contact with Lou, so naturally she didn't have any feelings for her. She didn't really care whether the marriage contract was counted or not.

If what she had dreamed at the beginning was true, and she really intended to resign when she was in the Sheng Mansion, then this marriage, even if there is no Queen Mother Fan to intervene, the Lou family will not regret it. it will work.

In the past few years in the palace, the first emperor treated him very well, and he never treated him badly when eating or drinking.

Except for some unavoidable calculations.

That being the case, how can she talk about resentment.

Only then did Mrs. Lou's wife get up, and looked at Sheng Baoling, "Empress Dowager, I have something to ask..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Sheng Baoling.

"If you want to intercede for Lou Qing, Mrs. Lou doesn't need to do anything. This case will be presided over by King Jing, and the Ai family will not intervene." Sheng Baoling's voice was cold, without even a trace of emotion.

Mrs. Lou's family was embarrassed immediately, not knowing how to react.

In the meantime, Sheng Baoling put down the pen in his hand, put it aside quietly, got up, walked down, and said slowly, "Mrs. Lou, you know that the reason why you are standing here today is because you rescued me when you were in Loufu. kindness."

"If you enter the palace today, I'm afraid that everyone in Bianjing will know about it. If you can't enter the Compassionate Hall of Aijia, it will be difficult for you to gain a foothold in Bianjing in the future."

"Those people who eat food based on their faces will not make Mr. Lou easy to leave in the future."

Mrs. Lou's family was obviously taken aback. What Sheng Baoling said was that about seven years ago, Sheng Baoling's sisters from the Sheng family were having a banquet in Lou's mansion. During that time, she had an argument with a little girl who was a concubine, and she couldn't remember the details. I only remember that the girl was very fierce and aggressive, holding a sharp stone in her hand, trying to plot against someone behind her back.

At that time, if Mrs. Lou hadn't spoken out and scolded Sheng Baoling, I'm afraid Sheng Baoling would have been disfigured.

But at that time, she was clearly just because she was the one who organized the banquet that day, and if something happened during the period, it would be difficult and troublesome to explain.

But he didn't expect that Sheng Baoling would remember it for so long.

But, since I remember this kindness, why can't I help you, all I need is a few words...

Even if Sheng Baoling didn't hear what Mrs. Lou was thinking, she saw it and guessed it.

After a long while, she said, "Mrs. Lou is also a clear-sighted person. She should understand that the crime committed by Grand Master Lou, even if one life is spared, is the result of the whole family retiring and returning home, not to mention the great honor of the Lou family in the future." .”

Mrs. Lou was taken aback, she naturally understood what Sheng Baoling said.

Sheng Baoling said again, "Running like this for a dying person, but even if Taishi Lou survives, Mr. Lou's future official career will be completely cut off."

"Mrs. Lou has figured it out. An old man who is about to die with a murder case on his body, or a son with a bright future. Which one should I choose?"

Sheng Baoling's words completely woke up Mrs. Lou.

Saving the father-in-law, regardless of whether he can be saved or not, is equivalent to cutting off his son's future career...
