After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 172 Chaos
The little lady in his arms was probably froze, shaking unbearably.

Jiang Huaiyang ordered someone to fetch the white fox cloak hanging on the hanger, unfolded it to cover her body, and took the hand stove in her sleeve, and handed it to Mu Xiang who was standing beside her.

Mu Xiang understood, and walked away to add some hot charcoal.

"It's really early for the snow to fall in Beijing." Ruan Yuyi straddled his legs, resting her forehead on his shoulder and neck, trying to gain some warmth.Her slender fingertips circled his neck one after another, causing a burst of numbness on his body.

He tightened his throat, bit her ear and said, "Is this the first time Lingling has come to this capital? Why haven't you gotten used to it yet." He handed hot tea to her lips.

She stepped back a little, reached out to take it, and thanked politely.She raised her head slightly, and the warm tea flowed into her mouth, and her lips were wet if she couldn't cover it.

His eyes were dark, but he didn't speak, waiting to see when she would explain her intention.

She struggled to get up from his lap, hooked the handle with her white fingertips, picked up the food box, and lifted the lid with the other hand, "Do you want to try it, Your Majesty? It's newly made."

The pastries in the box are pressed into a flower shape by a mould, about two widths, all of them are delicate and lovely. When the lid is opened, there seems to be a bean fragrance lingering in the nose.

Seeing that Jiang Huaiyang was silent, she raised her eyes to meet his eyes, and was startled by the deep eyes, "—Your Majesty?"

He suddenly pulled his lips and smiled, "Lingling borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, it's really wonderful." If he hadn't heard from Concubine Shu yesterday, he might not have known that the pastries she brought every day were entrusted by others.

She tightened her heart, and said with a sneer, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

"Don't understand?" He tightened his hand on her waist, "That's okay." He lowered his head, instead of eating the pastry, he went to eat her mouth fat.

She leaned back and dodged, "The concubine is suffering from the wind and cold, so don't let your majesty do it."

He held her slender waist tightly to prevent her from falling backwards, "It's okay, just take a few doses of medicine." His voice was hoarse, as if he had been overwhelmed by illness.

I don't know if it's because it's not easy to eat, the little lady's slender figure has become thinner, and when she pinches it with one hand, it's full of bones.There was a strange blush on his cheeks, but his hands were cold.

He freed one hand to hold his hands for her.

"Concubine Shu..." Her words were cut off by him, sobbing incompletely.

She didn't pay attention, her hands loosened, the food box fell to the ground, and the exquisite pastries were scattered all over the floor.She has no time to care about it.

Across the door, Mu Xiang heard the commotion inside and stopped in her tracks, she was still holding the sleeve stove in her hand, fearing that the wind would blow it away, she hid it in her sleeve again.

In the hall, Jiang Huaiyang didn't want to hear her mention Concubine Shu frequently in front of him, because she didn't give her a chance to continue.

After she took a bath and changed clothes again, he ordered the sedan chair to be ready, and when she wanted to go back, he sent her back to Luomeixuan, and she was not in a hurry to drive her away.She looked down at Mu Xiang neatly fastening the cloak for her, feeling a little absent-minded.

She also knew that the Rong family was rebellious and their crime was unforgivable, so it was reasonable for him to do so.But Concubine Shu has been staying in the numerous palaces, and has never thought of harming him. What is wrong with her?

What's wrong with those innocent Rong family members?
Maybe because she doesn't stand in the position of the emperor, she can't figure it out, and she doesn't want to understand it.I just feel sorry for those women who are beautiful in the morning and serve as slaves in the evening.

The new emperor has left, and the hall looks empty, although his robes are still hanging on the hangers, there are still various antique ornaments on the antique racks, and the ink on the tables has not yet dried, and there are traces of his life everywhere. .

Although he allowed her to stay here, but the purpose was not achieved, and it was meaningless to stay here any longer.

She said softly, "Let's go back."

The carriage carrying the new emperor drove out of the imperial city without any hindrance, leaving long ruts behind.

The carriage came to a slow stop in front of the Ministry of Punishment, and Wen Zhi pulled up the curtain, "Your Majesty, we're here."

Jiang Huaiyang hummed softly and walked out.Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks and stopped moving forward, because there were many commoner merchants crowded in front of him, and it might not be easy for him to enter.

It's not that the people in the Ministry of Punishment are timid and afraid of getting into trouble, but the people in front of them are all Dawu's people, and there are so many people, how dare they really confront each other with swords.

The gray and rough cloth and the embroidered gold clothes rubbed against each other, and everyone desperately wanted to squeeze forward. They all held bowls in their hands, and their mouths were either sharp or wailing.

"My lord, please do me a favor! My Ji'er pointed at this one, please do me a favor!"

"Isn't it all sold in previous years? I have silver, and I have silver! Let me in!"

"Don't squeeze—"

The petty officials stood against the door with great difficulty, as if they were facing a big enemy.Some people were also ordered to dissuade and explain outside, but who would listen to him, these people are all waiting for a bite of steamed buns to save their lives!

Jiang Huaiyang frowned, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter? Didn't I prohibit the sale of such evil things?"

In the first dynasty, Wu State was prosperous on the surface, but inside, there were many corrupt officials, secretly eroding the country's roots.The first emperor was considered a wise ruler when he was young, but later he indulged in beauty and listened to the slander of his courtiers, so he never asked people's feelings for many years.

There were prison guards who spread and peddled folk remedies,

Therefore, after the new emperor took over, there were still a lot of places waiting to be rebuilt.

Wen Zhi quickly lowered his head and answered, "It is true that the ban has been promulgated. But the people's perception may take time to change... The gate is crowded, why don't your majesty enter by yourself?"

He paused for a moment, then said, "Let some people from the imperial hospital go and have a look." After saying that, he walked towards the side door.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice did not expect that he would come here early, fearing that the chaos outside the door would arouse the anger of the new emperor, he knelt down to plead guilty.

He glanced at the panic-stricken Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and sneered, "Knowing that I have not done enough to control the situation, there are not many people who sent the people away." He left the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment where he was, and walked towards the prison.

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice did not dare to neglect, hurriedly got up and patted the dust, and followed behind.

Compared with Jingzhao Mansion, this place is darker and more humid, and most of the prisoners are political prisoners or felons.The smell of blood lingered in the air, so pungent and strong that it made people almost sick, Jiang Huaiyang's expression did not change.

Walking to the front of the cell, under the dim candlelight, the man in the cell slowly raised his head.

He stood up, and the iron locks on his ankles rattled.He stared straight at Jiang Huaiyang, and murmured, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty—" he seemed to be begging for mercy.

Immediately afterwards, he changed his expression and cursed.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice looked at his former colleague, but he didn't care to sigh with emotion, his heart tightened, and he quickly ordered someone to open the cell door and stop the man's mouth.

All the words in his mouth were blocked, his face was full of redness, his eyes were about to burst, and his eyes were full of unwillingness.

He was clearly about to succeed, and the nanny sent to Concubine Shu's side clearly wrote a letter, saying that the medicine was sent to the new emperor every day, and that although the poison was chronic, it was irreversible.

Now how could the new emperor still stand in front of him?

Jiang Huaiyang watched coldly, and said leisurely, "Ai Qing doesn't want to know what happened to her daughter in the palace?"

He suddenly fell silent, as if his voice had been robbed.In the darkness, a line of muddy tears rolled down from the corner of his eyes.

The Rong family is no longer what it used to be, all because he followed the wrong master.
