There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 624 (Second update)
So when Grand Master Mu arrived at the Qin Mansion, he didn't see Qin Hui himself.

When the servant delivered the message, Qin Hui fell ill again, and now fell asleep.

They are all sick and passed out, how can they ask for help?

Bachelor Mu left tactfully.

He licked his face again and went to find Duke Hengyang, who scolded him directly.

He scolded people like Mu Xuan for not fighting the Jinren, so he naively thought that the Jinren would benefit him.

Master Mu's face was almost completely lost.

Under various circumstances, he had no choice but to come to see Emperor Gaozong by himself.

I gave a fee to pass the phone, but the person went in, but never came out.

Master Mu stood under the sun for an entire hour. When he was so tired that he was dizzy, Ji Chang, Gaozong's servant, came and said, "The officials are on their lunch break. If you have any questions, Master Mu will go to court tomorrow morning." Say more."

The implication is that I don't want to see Master Mu.

Bachelor Mu had no choice but to leave the palace in despair.

In my heart, I scolded Mu Xuan again and again.

……

Gaozong didn't take a lunch break, but was having a deep affection with Li Peiyu.

Li Peiyu was shocked when she learned that Mu Xuan was put in prison.

Thinking of Mu Xuan's goodness, and thinking of entering the palace to enjoy the wealth and glory, it was due to Mu Xuan, so she came to find Gaozong immediately.

She is also smart. After meeting Gaozong, she didn't directly talk about Mu Xuan, but served Gaozong with all her strength.

She learned a lot of skills from Mu Xuan, and served Gaozong with a sense of well-being.

Gaozong was so happy that he rewarded a lot of money and things.

Only then did Li Peiyu tentatively mention Mu Xuan.

However, it didn't directly mention Mu Xuan's matter, but also said it around the corner.

When she was having fun with Gaozong, she lowered her head and frowned.

Gaozong noticed it, and immediately asked, "The beauty has something on her mind?"

Li Peiyu sighed intentionally, "Ah, no."

Gao Zong said with a smile, "I sighed, and said I have nothing to worry about. Tell me, I will help you."

Li Peiyu said anxiously, "I'm afraid the officials won't be able to help you."

Gaozong laughed, "I am the son of heaven, the son of heaven, is there anything in this world that I can't handle?"

Li Peiyu looked at him, still sighing.

When Gaozong was not in court, he always called himself "I", sometimes "I". He was serious to his courtiers, but not to Li Peiyu.

Li Peiyu became more courageous and said, "Before the concubine entered the palace, something happened at home, my brother owed money and was chased and beaten by debtors."

Gaozong raised his eyebrows, "Is there no money at home? Tell me earlier, I will ask Jichang to send some money back."

Li Peiyu waved his hand, "The money rewarded by the officials just now is enough for the family, the concubine said. When the family was in trouble, someone came to the rescue. Before the concubine's family had time to thank you, he came out. It's over. Thinking of this, I can only sigh in my heart."

This time it was Gaozong's turn to raise his eyebrows, "What happened? What happened?"

"He offended someone and was put in prison." Li Peiyu sighed, "The laws of our Great Song Dynasty are made by the officials, how can the officials break the laws because of the private affairs of the concubines? Benefactor It’s just a little punishment, it’s not a big deal.”

Gaozong said with a sullen face, "Let's talk about it, who did your benefactor offend? After all, he was imprisoned for committing a crime."

"This..." Li Peiyu bit her lip, but stopped talking.

Gaozong said with a sullen face, "Why, do you think my ability can't save your benefactor?"

Li Peiyu waved his hands in fright, "No, no, the official family is the most powerful man in Song Dynasty, of course we can save it, but the concubine doesn't want to embarrass the official family."

Gaozong became impatient, "difficult? I am a majestic emperor, is there anything embarrassing?" He laughed angrily, "just say it!"

Li Peiyu struggled for a while, and could only say, "Yes...the concubine's benefactor is Mu Xuan, the third grandson of Grand Master Mu of Guanwen Palace. The concubine heard that he offended Luo Guanren, the son of Duke Hengyang and Princess Chengyang. He was just imprisoned, and the courtiers and concubines don't know much, and they don't know whether his crimes are serious, so they dare not ask the officials."

Gao Zong sneered, "So it was him?"

Li Peiyu wasn't sure whether Gaozong's sneer was in agreement, whether he thought it was a trivial matter, or whether he didn't want to help because he hated Mu Xuan's sneer.

She was very upset.

"It's a small matter. I'll ask Jichang to go to Dali Temple right away, and tell the minister of Dali Temple not to hurt his life." Gaozong pinched Li Peiyu's chin and said.

Li Peiyu was overjoyed.

She immediately kowtowed to thank her, "Thank you, the official."

"How can I thank me? Huh?" Gao Zong stretched out his hand to pinch her waist.

"Concubine..." Li Peiyu blushed and worked harder to serve Gaozong.

Gao Zong was amused and laughed.

Ji Chang, who was guarding outside the screen, shook his head, thinking what method did Li Peiyu use to coax Gaozong into submission?

Refusing to get out of bed in broad daylight?

After Gaozong had his fill, he called Jichang on the bed, "Jichang come in!"

"Yes, the official!" Ji Chang trotted, walked to the bed, and asked through the curtain, "Where is the official, the official."

"Go to Dali Temple quickly. Tell Liu Hui that the case of Mu Jiasanlang should be handled with discretion as much as possible. The young people are just confused. If you know your mistakes and correct them, you will not be guilty of death."

Ji Chang was taken aback, Gaozong's words, did this mean he wanted to protect Mu Xuan from death?
"Yes, official!" Jichang replied.

He is just an internal servant, and he has no right to ask how the emperor handles things.

Don't even dare to ask.

Trying to figure out the holy will without authorization is a matter of losing one's head.

Jichang hurried to Dali Temple in a carriage.

He repeated Gaozong's original words to Dali Temple Secretary exactly.

The minister of Dali Temple frowned when he heard this. Does this mean to let Mu Xuan go?
Not worthy of death?

How should the case be judged?

Dali Siqing was glad that he didn't kill Mu Xuan immediately. If he did, what would he do to answer Gaozong?
"Master Ji, according to your opinion, how do the officials want me to judge the case?" Dali Temple Secretary hurriedly asked.

Jichang raised his eyebrows, "Do things literally." After speaking, he went back.

Take things literally?
Dali Siqing thought for a long time, but he didn't know how to judge the case.

Finally, he asked the guest ministers and masters in his house.

Several people discussed and came up with a result.

Mu Xuan was sentenced to exile in Liuzhou, and he was not allowed to return to Lin'an unless he was recalled.

He wrote the verdict and handed it to Gaozong for decision.

Gaozong wrote a pen for approval: dismissal, exile for five years, and a fine of [-] guan.

Li Peiyu was relieved when he heard the news.

A fine of [-] guan is not considered a punishment at all, and dismissal is nothing, a small sixth rank, it doesn't matter if it is inappropriate.

As for the five years of exile, maybe one day Gaozong will be happy, and maybe he will recall Mu Xuan in advance.

The Mu family breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the news.

As long as you don't lose your life, fines and dismissal are trivial matters.

Of course, the Mu family's Dalang and Erlang couldn't do without a round of ridicule, "There is not much money in the account at home, and he has to be fined [-] yuan? How can there be money to fine him? Tell him to figure out what to do."

Mu Xuan was very happy to know the result of his punishment.

It seems that it is wise for him to send Li Peiyu to the palace.

Not being able to enter Lin'an City for five years is not a big deal, and he doesn't plan to live in Lin'an forever.

He is not afraid of being dismissed, as the sixth rank petty official cannot satisfy his desire.

As for the [-] yuan, he can also afford it.

If you lose [-] yuan today, you will definitely earn back ten times and a hundred times in the future!
Mu Xuan paid the money honestly, took some money, and left Lin'an with two yamen servants for Liuzhou.

When the news reached Liuyue Garden, Luo Cheng sneered, "It's cheaper for him."

Li Jiaoniang frowned, "He was not executed!"

Luo Cheng sneered and said, "I heard that the old man of the Mu family is begging for him everywhere. He even asked the Duke of Hengyang, but the Duke of Hengyang has not seen Grand Master Mu."

Li Jiaoniang sneered, "Master Mu is not capable of rescuing Mu Xuan, it was another person who rescued him."

Luo Cheng asked, "Who?"

"Li Peiyu!"

Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows, "Her? Her ability is not small."

Li Jiaoniang sneered, "No matter how powerful you are, can you surpass the queen?"

Luo Cheng asked, "The queen doesn't like her?"

Li Jiaoniang laughed, "Which queen likes a foxy concubine? Let's see, she won't live long."

……

The prince's competition was over, and Mu Xuan's matter was also settled. There was no new incident in Lin'an City for half a month, and the time quietly entered May.

The whole Lin'an City gradually became lively again, and everyone began to prepare for the Dragon Boat Festival.

Li Jiaoniang was particularly happy, and arranged for people to choose japonica rice and zong leaves early on.

At this time last year, she came here through time travel and was picked up by Luo Cheng and brought home.

Luo Cheng is so poor that he can't afford to eat, where can he find rice to make zongzi?
At that time, she was very envious when she saw other people eating zongzi, but she was too shy to mention eating zongzi.

If someone rescued her, she would be fine if she wasn't hungry, so how could she ask for anything else?
