Chang'an is good

"Mother beware."

Ming Luo, who was wearing an official uniform, withdrew his hand and reminded him.

"Luo'er..." Chang came back to his senses: "You also came back today."

Hearing the sound of beating and dissuasion coming from the wedding hall behind him, Chang frowned and said: "The fact of Feng's family business is really..."

"I heard about it on the way." Ming Luo interrupted his aunt's words lightly, and said, "I heard about it when I came out of Dali Temple, so I went home to have a look."

Chang made up his mind and said, "Your father is in a fit of anger right now, if you want to see him, you might as well wait a little while until he calms down."

Ming Luo was noncommittal: "Thank you mother for reminding me."

Her aunt, she really "cared for her everywhere" now, and it could be seen that she sincerely wanted to curry favor with her.

Thinking of her aunt's remediation of the Ming family's back house in the past, her methods were extremely decisive and ruthless, and she never acted sloppily...

However, he was dragged down by that too ignorant and useless son, and now he even has to put down his body to curry favor with all who can curry favor... From the perspective of a woman, it is somewhat sympathetic.

Apart from sympathy, Ming Luo was more emotional.

Feeling that God occasionally opens his eyes, and there are times when it is fair.

Today's sky is gloomy and windy, just like Chang's mood, and the chaotic and noisy Ming family at the moment.

"It's windy and cold outside..." Thinking of the phrase 'coming out of Dali Temple' that Ming Luo just mentioned, Chang proposed: "Why don't you go and sit in the Nuan Pavilion?"

"Bitch...how dare you play tricks on me! I will find her and tear her to pieces!"

When Ming Jin was pulled out from Xitang by several followers, he was still cursing angrily.

Chang's complexion darkened, and he berated and urged his servants: "Hurry up and bring the son back!"

Ming Luo looked at Ming Jin who had an angry and ferocious expression, and his face was already dark because of his emaciation, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

This younger brother of hers seems to be quite crazy.

That's right, how can such a lustful and arrogant person, who claims to be more noble than the Li family's children, accept the fact that he is inhumane and his life is doomed to plummet?
Ming Luo withdrew his gaze, and nodded slightly with Chang: "That's fine."

Then the two went to the warm pavilion together.

"...Luoer just said that you went to Dali Temple?" Chang asked and then covered up: "Although official duties are important, don't work too hard. You still have to take care of yourself."

"Thank you mother, but I was ordered by the sage to follow up on the murder case of the eldest grandson Seventh Lady, so naturally I must not be sloppy."

The Chang family sighed softly: "It's a pity to talk about the eldest grandson Seventh Lady... I wonder how this case is progressing now?"

"That day, my wife openly claimed that the murderer was someone else outside the Dali Temple, which caused a lot of discussion, and the saint also suspected that there was something strange about the case... It is making people investigate secretly." Ming Luo said: "Therefore, it will not happen for a while Close the case easily."

Chang's already restless heart raised his voice for a moment: "But... isn't there already physical evidence?"

Ming Luo said in a low voice: "There is physical evidence, but the witness Mr. Chang's son said has not yet come forward. However, he heard that Mr. Rong has shown signs of improvement, so he must be able to come forward to confirm Mr. Chang's words in these two days." It's true and false."

Chang tried to look normal and nodded.

Ming Luo said again: "Besides, now that General Chang is leading the army outside, if he kills his son unjustly, it will be of no benefit to the war."

Chang's silently clenched the teacup in his hand: "...What about the Changsun family, the Changsun family will not allow this case to be delayed."

"The eldest grandson's family did put pressure on it." Ming Luo said: "But after the first trial that day, Mr. Chang's husband did not plead guilty, and he claimed that the son of Prince Rong could testify. In addition, Mrs. Chang's wife defended her elder brother with certainty. There are people in the court one after another as guarantors for Mr. Chang's family—"

She counted in a slow voice: "First, Xuan Ce's governor Shi and Sima, then Chu Shangshu, and Qiao Jijiu wrote many times. These are on the surface. In private, Yu Changshi and Wei Shilang are around the saint. , and often have words of defense for Mr. Chang's family."

Chang's heart sank when he heard it.

Xuan Ce's governor, Shi and Sima... are both bureaucrats under Cui Jing's subordinates.

Yu Zeng and the others let it go, but what are the old Chu Shangshu and the impartial Wei Shilang doing with this business!

"With these people around, we can't just rely on the words of the Changsun family." Ming Luo said: "Besides, whether Mr. Chang's husband will be killed or not, and whether he will be convicted or not, all need to be told by the truth."

At this moment, the uneasiness in Chang's heart had reached its peak.

She knew that the longer this kind of thing was delayed, the more troublesome it would be!

The current situation is unfavorable, Prince Rong is about to come forward, and Feng Min also ran away. Once Feng Min says something, it will make the situation worse and make it more difficult to deal with the aftermath!
After many days of stress, and repeated failures in her actions, the fatigue in Chang's eyes can't be concealed even by makeup, just like her calmness that is on the verge of breaking.

She is not afraid of the Chang family, or those who help the Chang family, what she fears most is that the sage insists on investigating to the end!
This is the biggest difference between this matter and the previous ones...

Should she regret that she chose to let Chang Sui An take the blame?
But it's too late to say that now...and pointless.

Chang could only probe further and ask, "Then, has the sage found any other suspicious persons?"

Facing her temptation, Ming Luo who was sitting there raised his eyes and looked over——

"That's why I'm sitting here right now, talking to my mother."

Chang's whole body tensed suddenly: "What does Luo Er mean by this..."

Ming Luo just said: "The sage accidentally brought up an old incident yesterday... Back then, my mother once begged the eldest grandson Seventh Lady for Ah Shen. After she was rejected, Ah Shen had conflicts with the sons of the eldest grandson's family many times."

Chang's heart was beating like a drum: "There is such a thing..."

"Ah Shen has always acted impulsively, and he still has a heart for being rejected back then, and he has never put Li's children in his eyes. It is well known that the eldest grandson, Seventh Lady, will be designated as the Crown Princess. I don't think he would be happy to see..."

Ming Luo looked at Chang, "So the sage has reminded my father many times before, and told my father to restrain Ah Shen more, but I don't know if Ah Shen listened to those words of reminding and restraining?"

For a moment, Chang didn't know what expression to make: "Ah Shen..."

"So, the sage asked me to visit Shen." Ming Luo smiled slightly: "But after thinking about it, since it's my own business, it's better to speak up with my mother. My mother is sensible, and Shen's actions will definitely not be hidden from her. , I think you must have a distinction in your heart."

Facing those eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and thinking of the emperor behind those eyes, Chang's fingertips holding the teacup were only cold.

She tried to make her tone sound calm: "Sage, is she now...does she suspect that Ah Shen has something to do with this matter?"

"Mother is a wise person, you should know that there is no need to tempt me with words at this time." Ming Luo said: "Since a saint is a saint, how can he allow himself to be deceived by his family?"

"..." Chang was speechless for a while, his hands were filled with cold sweat, and he almost couldn't hold the teacup.

"A sage is the king of a country. In addition to looking at the truth, he should also look at the pros and cons." Ming Luo looked at Chang's with a gloomy look, "If someone pretends to be smart, others will catch him by surprise, and the sage and the sage will be caught off guard." The Ming family fell into a passive situation..."

"Mother, do you know what kind of catastrophe it will cause? At the end, what will happen to the wise man and the people around him?"

Chang tried his best to support the teacup, but finally slipped from his sweaty hands and hit his feet with a "slap", the broken porcelain and tea splashed together.

What will happen...?
If this matter really goes to that point, it will bring disaster to the Ming family and bring trouble to the saint... Then, there is no need to think about the position of the son, and the identity of the wife of the country, and even her mother's family, the Chang family, will suffer because of this. disaster!

The fate of her, that naughty son, and the Chang family will probably be smashed to pieces just like this teacup...

But this is clearly the fault of the Ming family, that evil surname is Ming and not Chang!

But how could the wrath of the emperor fall on himself?
The "reminder" in Ming Luo's words is already very clear.

Uneasiness, fear, anger, unwillingness, powerlessness and many other emotions tore Chang's.

Ming Luo glanced at the broken teacup, got up slowly, and sighed: "Mother is too tired, why not take a rest."

Nanny Liao's complexion was snow-white, and she stepped forward to clean up the broken porcelain that had fallen on the floor.

"If Ah Shen is innocent, it would be great." Ming Luo finally said: "If he really made a mistake... There may still be a chance to redeem it now, and the importance of it, the mother has to think carefully about it." distinguish."

Seeing the figure in the uniform of a female official walking out of the Nuan Pavilion, Chang's cold fingertips trembled slightly.

Nanny Liao's voice was also full of tremors: "Madam, the saint..."

Chang analyzed the pros and cons of the current situation over and over in her mind, but no matter how many times she thought about it, the odds of winning were lost.

Now the matter of convicting Chang Sui'an involves too much, and she is no longer able to contend with it alone... Especially after Feng Min disappeared last night!
They said they were missing, but the man in black who took Feng Min away must belong to the Chang family... There will never be a second possibility!
Even though she didn't want to admit it, but at this point, the situation was completely out of control, completely different from what she expected at first!

The Chang family, the court, the saint...

Her ability has always been omnipresent in the back house, but at this moment she suddenly became sober... It was her whimsy to think about the things involving the power of the court in the back house.

Chang's lips quivered in a sarcastic smile.

To survive with a broken arm is to break it when it is broken.

She was never a fool who would not cry without seeing the coffin.

After a while, Chang spoke.

"Let the county master stay."

Nanny Liao was startled: "Madam..."

Chang needed to support the chair with one hand in order to stand up steadily.

"Take the life woman's clothes and change for me..."

"I will... enter the palace with the Princess, face the Holy Spirit."

……

"Girl."

In the study outside Chang's house, Chang Ren was reporting to Chang Suining what the spies had obtained from various places, including this news: "... half an hour ago, Mrs. Ying Guogong accompanied that Ming female Shi into the palace."

Chang Suining was silent for a moment, then said: "Sooner or later."

At this time, the Chang family is in a hurry to enter the palace, and it is definitely not because of the mere matter of Chongxi's concubine being lost.

And if he was with Ming Luo, he would probably have to confess with a broken arm.

Recently, from the attitudes of all parties and Wei Shuyi's note, it is not difficult to see that the emperor did not know in advance.

But sooner or later you will know.

It's just that it will come earlier than she thought.

Chang's entering the palace at this time must be because he has clearly seen that he has no strength to contend with everyone in this matter.

The Chang family didn't have it, but the emperor must have it—and if the emperor intervenes, the meaning is not only to fight, but to control.

But Feng Min hasn't woken up yet, she has no ironclad evidence in her hands to bring the real murderer to justice, and she doesn't have the conditions to be the first to disrupt the situation...

But that doesn't mean she has to give up.

On the contrary, as early as the first moment she began to doubt Mingjin, she realized that the real difficulty of this matter is not in the process of finding the truth, but in the fact that she will eventually stand on the opposite side of the absolutely rational emperor, Contend with the high and cold imperial power.

This matter is as difficult as heaven, but her elder brother is not wrong.

Chang Suining stood up and told Xi'er, "Follow me back to change clothes."

The top priority is to take the initiative to find out the situation and the ways of all parties, so as not to fall into a passive position.

First of all, she was going to meet the witness her brother mentioned.

Exactly half an hour ago, someone from Prince Rong's Mansion came to deliver a message, and Prince Daorong had already woken up. He learned that she had sent someone to visit her recently, so he specially asked someone from the mansion to come to Chang's house to thank her.

For Chang Suining, this is not a thank you, but an invitation.

Now she's off to an appointment.

Chang Sui Ning went to the appointment not to change into a new dress, but to wear a round-neck robe that is easy to move around. His hair has never been more refined after being dismantled and recombed, and he is only tied into a ponytail.

When I went to Rongwang's mansion, I never went through the main entrance.

Chang Suining silently jumped into Rong Wang's mansion from the back wall.

She has been to King Rong's Mansion in Jingzhong many times before. After many years, although it can be seen that it has been renovated, the layout has not changed much.

She avoided people's eyes and ears all the way, and arrived at the residence of Prince Rong's son smoothly.

"Your Majesty has just finished taking the medicine, so don't bother reading books..." the female envoy softly advised.

Prince Rong always listened to persuasion, so he put down the book in his hand at this moment, and said in a weak voice: "Alright, I'll take a rest, you all go out."

"Yes, if the son has an order, he will call the servants as usual."

Prince Rong's son likes quietness very much, but because of his asthma, he can't call out when the attack is severe. There are many golden bells in the house, and they are often placed where they can be taken easily. When the servants hear the bell, they will immediately Come in.

Li Lu, who was leaning on the head of the bed, nodded, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

The female envoys retreated lightly, closed the door gently, and went to the porch outside to guard.

The room was quiet, until a moment later, the light movement separating the inside and outside, opened the bead curtain with one hand, and a person walked in.

Li Lu opened his eyes, was slightly startled, and subconsciously sat up straight.

The bead curtain fell, and the girl in the blue robe and the black hair came towards him and asked, "Is the prince surprised to see the guests?"

Li Lu showed an inquiring smile on his weak face: "What surprises Lu is not the arrival of the guest. But when the guest arrives, Lu does not know..."
