Lingquan after kitchen

Chapter 108 Revenge (1)
Ouyang Jinhua was sitting and drinking tea in the hall of Ouyang Jinlei's pomegranate yard. He had already received congratulations from all the servants and maidservants, third brother and younger brother, his cheeks were blushing.

"Brother Dongfang was anxious like a monkey. He sent a follower to go with the official matchmaker, but he didn't feel at ease. He even went to watch in person." Ouyang Jinyu rarely saw the elder sister shy, but couldn't bear to tease her, and laughed again: " He was really good at making Uncle Dongfang reconcile with the princess."

Ouyang Jinhua asked with a chuckle, "How did he do it?"

After Ouyang Jinyu talked about it, Ouyang Jinhua smiled even more, he didn't feel that Dongfang Xuanyi's plan for Dongfang was wrong at all, and applauded Dongfang Xuanyi in his heart.

That night, Dongfang Xuanyi and Ouyang Jinhua made a marriage agreement, and filed a record with the Yamen of Chang'an Mansion, becoming an official unmarried couple.

Before the morning court the next day, Zhang Shangshu and Qu Shangshu learned about this from Ouyang Yue, and regretting it, they hurriedly sent their followers to report to the wife in the mansion not to go to Ouyang Mansion to propose marriage and make a joke.

Mrs. Zhang of Qu Mansion has failed many times to find a marriage for her son Qu Che, and she can bear this failure in her heart.

Mrs. Yu of the Zhang family spent a lot of time planning this matter. She used her mother-in-law Mrs. Lu and Concubine Zhang Shu, and even made a guarantee in front of her son Zhang Shaofeng.

Zhang Shaofeng used to be the woman who refused the arrangement of the elders in the mansion, but this time she was rejected by the woman, feeling extremely disappointed.Although he didn't complain to Mrs. Yu face to face, he left a letter and traveled far away from the house.

Mrs. Lu fell ill when she heard that her little grandson had left again, and Mrs. Yu became ill as a daughter-in-law, so she became more angry.

"You little slut who doesn't know what to do, shame on your face. The little slut is most proud of that face. If you don't have that face, you can still marry into the duke's mansion!" Madam Yu's eyes were extremely sinister, and she called Come to the trusted butler to arrange it.

At the end of autumn, the much-anticipated Chang'an National Examination is about to be held. At this juncture, another major event happened in the court.

The two Wanmin Letters, in which more than [-] people from Henan Province and Hubei Province pressed their bloody fingerprints to sue the princeling officials for embezzling the imperial court for disaster relief money, were read out by two officials of the Three Princeling Party to Murong Yangxiao in the morning. .

All disaster relief work in the Dahua Dynasty was managed by the household department and supervised by the prince. There were cases of officials embezzling disaster relief money in the past, and they were severely sentenced. The officials lost their heads and the prince was deposed.

After Murong Yangxiao ascended the throne, according to the court regulations, he handed over the disaster relief to the household department and assigned Murong Ming full authority to supervise it.

Who knew that Murong Ming was so greedy that he swallowed up [-]% of the relief money and killed tens of thousands of people.

Murong Yangxiao once again issued an order to confine the East Palace, and handed over the case to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple for trial.

Within a day, all the officials involved in the case from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the East Palace were sent to prison.

People from all over the country who were waiting for the scientific examination in Chang'an were all angry when they heard about this, and under the instigation of the third prince and his party, they jointly wrote a letter of thousands of people, asking Murong Yangxiao to abolish Murong Ming's crown prince.

Murong Ming fell into desperation for the second time. Just as he and Queen Wu were planning to get through the crisis, the Ministry of Criminal Justice found out that the princelings had embezzled the disaster relief money and embezzled 500 million taels of money to repair the embankment. The evidence is dozens of old ledgers of the East Palace.

The Eastern Palace was shrouded in thick dark clouds.All the antiques in the study were smashed by Murong Ming, and the calligraphy and paintings were also torn to pieces by him.

Zhao Tong, the deputy head of the East Palace who had lost his concubine Wu, looked terrified, and knelt down to report: "Prince, there are four people handling those books, Ouyang Jinye is one of them, and the other three are friends with him! "

"Waiting for Gu to pass this level, catch them and tear them into pieces!" Murong Ming never fell into the betrayal of Ouyang Jinye, who was once loyal to him, at this critical moment, his eyes were full of anger and viciousness.

At night, Zhao Tong sneaked out of the palace and went to the second prince's mansion with Murong Ming's handwritten letter.

The Second Prince's Mansion, which had been confined for several months, was no longer as lively as before. Two rows of semi-old lanterns hanging in the long corridor swayed in the autumn wind, deserted and desolate.

At this time, the voice of a woman singing an opera floated out of the hall in the remote corner of the courtyard. The content of the opera was about the wife and her beloved husband parting with each other.

The person who performed this opera was Murong Feng who already knew that his biological mother, Concubine Wu, died at the hands of Empress Wu.

His long hair is loose, his eyes are like silk, he is wearing a bright red dress, his lips are painted with rouge, and he holds a wine glass in his hand.

He likes to watch opera the most. He once loved the opera singer Feixuelang and studied singing with Feixuelang for two years. Later, Feixuelang eloped with Qin Huang and betrayed him, and was killed by him. After that, he stopped singing.

Tonight he not only sang opera, but also put on the red dress for the opera, and sang to his current lover Yan Shishi.

Yan Shishi was wearing a black shirt, holding a beautiful and quiet two-year-old girl in both hands, and a sleeping baby on her back. Standing in the dim light, two lines of clear eyes fell from her often empty and dull eyes. tears.

Murong Feng's eyes were affectionate, and Yan Shixi looked at him intently, wanting to engrave his face in his heart.

Murong Feng finished singing to Yan Shishi, with tears in his eyes, he said in a hoarse voice, "You and I will continue our fate in the next life."

Yan Shishi was led away by two guards in black casual clothes, and turned around every three steps while walking until Murong Feng was nowhere to be seen.

When Zhao Tong sneaked into the second prince's mansion, Murong Feng had already changed back into men's clothes, with a calm expression.

"Second prince, this servant has brought you a letter from the prince."

After reading Murong Ming's letter, Murong Feng thought to himself: I was thinking about how to enter the palace to take revenge, and the opportunity came.

Without the slightest expression on his face, he proposed to enter the East Palace immediately to meet Murong Ming and Empress Wu.

Zhao Tong hurriedly returned to the East Palace to return to his command.

An hour later, Murong Feng entered the East Palace as he wished, and saw Murong Ming and Empress Wu who had been separated for several months in the secret backyard. Seeing the two people with sad faces and tired expressions, he thought to himself: You also have today!
"Brother, only you can save me and the queen mother this time." Murong Ming hugged Murong Feng with both hands and wept.

Empress Wu was full of kindness, wiped her tears and cried: "Feng'er, what happened this time has nothing to do with your brother, it was all done by his subordinates, but your father believed Murong Qing's instigation and put all the charges on him. For your brother, I have no choice but to let you take the blame first, and then pardon you after your father's anger subsides."
