Crowned with Pearls

   Chapter 374 One hundred and seventy-three

Rumors like    were just rumors at first, but later, they gradually became a fact that everyone recognized. Like Song Xiangyu, Yong Dingbo was the first batch of cronies of Emperor Yuanfeng. Once he was plotted, he lost his life, not even the Su family.

   The more this is the case, the more in full swing the case at the Department of Punishment is.

   When the time gradually entered August, seeing the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus wafting across the city, everyone in the punishment department could finally breathe a sigh of relief - Gao Ping finally finished the case and organized all the documents into a book and handed it to the imperial court.

One boot fell to the ground, and everyone was waiting for the other boot to fall, but Emperor Yuanfeng suddenly seemed to have forgotten about it. See him summon old lady Su.

   It seems that he does not react so violently to the grievances of the Su family, and he has mentioned the first prince less frequently recently.

   Everyone can't help but speculate in their hearts, could it be that Emperor Yuanfeng regretted it again?

   Also, although he had recalled the prince two years after the paddock case and allowed the prince to defend himself, it was also his decision to demote the prince. If he wanted to overturn the case for the prince, wouldn’t he overturn his previous decision and prove that he was wrong?

   But the calmer it was, the more nervous everyone was, and even the most troublesome speaker didn't keep an eye on it.

   At this juncture, Eunuch Xia, the great **** in front of Emperor Yuanfeng, came to Su's house in person and summoned Mrs. Su to the palace.

   When the news reached Concubine Pang Gui's ears, she raised the corners of her mouth and narrowed her eyes slightly: "After so many months of work, this day is finally here."

   Aunt Jing silently brought up a glass of grapes, and when she saw it, she said softly: "The Holy Master has been quiet for too long, I don't know if things have changed."

   "Then it depends on how old Mrs. Su responded in front of the imperial court." Concubine Pang Gui can understand the change in Emperor Yuanfeng's mentality during this period of time, and guilt is naturally guilt, but he is an emperor after all. There are a lot of people in this world who want to die for face, even some useless men, who still want to die for their poor self-esteem, and refuse to admit their mistakes, let alone the emperor?

   She thought about it for a while, put her eyes on the bunch of grapes, and instructed Aunt Jing: "If you have any news, come in and report to me in time."

Aunt Jing agreed and called the maid to come up and put incense sticks into the incense burner, and then she rolled up the curtain before turning her head and said, "But madam, don't worry too much, Mrs. Su has been holding her breath for more than ten years. It's been done so far, and it doesn't make sense that this last step will fail."

Two dogs fight, play off.

  Pang's family was on the wall, of course, he was very happy to see King Zhuang and the Song family of Su's torn apart.

   Of course, between the two, the Pang family prefers the Su family and the Song family to win.

  After all, the dead are only a little bit of grief after death, so what if the prince overturns the case? Everyone is dead, and the dead are much easier to deal with than the living.

   But King Zhuang is different.

Not to mention King Zhuang's ambitions, let's just say that King Zhuang has emerged since he was successful in rescuing and driving. There are many supporters, and Concubine Li is an old man with a position. The Qin family is originally King Zhuang's Yue family, and Princess Zhuang Now she is pregnant with the first eldest grandson of Emperor Yuanfeng, and even the grand-nephew of the Queen Mother is about to marry King Zhuang as a concubine.

In all of these, King Zhuang can be said to have taken all the advantages. If he is allowed to develop like this, even if she is favored in the palace again, once the name of the East Palace is decided, then King Zhuang will still occupy the orthodox advantage. With the Pang family and her, I'm afraid it's just powerless.

   cannot be captured without hesitation, so this time, Luo Yong, the former member of the Pingguo government's mansion, did not hesitate to stand up and confirm the Su family's accusation against Master Wei and Xu Rui.

  If the last thing is picked up high and gently put down, then Emperor Yuanfeng's intentions for King Zhuang can be seen.

   Concubine Pang certainly didn't want this to happen.

  The old lady Su, who was remembered by many people tremblingly entered the Kunning Palace of the former queen.

  The palace is as usual, with the portrait of the first empress enshrined in it. Emperor Yuanfeng turned his back to him and the front of the portrait of Empress Xiaoci, so he could not see the expression.

   She knelt down and respectfully greeted Emperor Yuanfeng.

   Emperor Yuanfeng turned his head, the expression on his face could not help but shake, and after a while, he said, "Get up."

   He turned from Empress Xiaoci's spiritual seat, causing old lady Su to follow, sighing expressionlessly: "I haven't seen you for many years, and I can't even recognize you."

   Mrs. Su silently followed behind him, pursed her lips and said, "It's been a long time since I went out, which made the sage laugh."

  Emperor Yuanfeng had already asked someone to give her a seat, and when the **** brought tea, he said again: "The case of the Ministry of Punishment has already come to a conclusion, I'm sorry Old Seven."

  Yong Dingbo was the seventh in the clan, and everyone outside called him the old seventh.

   Hearing her son's name again, Mrs. Su's eyes were flushed, and she was overwhelmed with tears.

   After so many years, she was almost desperate, and she never thought that this day would really come.

  The old lady Su had already gray hair, and Emperor Yuanfeng hardly dared to look at the wrinkles on her face.

   After a long while, the old lady Su choked up and said, "Thank you, Your Highness. In this way, Lao Qi can finally rest his eyes under the ground."

Before seeing Mrs. Su, Emperor Yuanfeng thought about Mrs. Su's reaction, but he was always crying and complaining about his grievances, but he also knew that this was human nature. After all, it is impossible for anyone to encounter such a thing. If nothing happened.

But now Mrs. Su was not as hysterical or crying as she had imagined. Emperor Yuanfeng was relieved but also had some doubts. He stared at Mrs. Su for a while, then lowered his eyes and said lightly, "You don't hate it. I?"

How can    not hate it?

   There was silence in the room for a while, and Mrs. Su kept her head down without saying a word, and the atmosphere suddenly cooled down.

It is one thing to feel guilty for doing something wrong, but it is another thing that the emperor's dignity cannot be challenged. Emperor Yuanfeng knew that he had done something wrong, and he was also considering returning justice to the Su family, but if Mrs. Su's attitude has not been the same. Well, Emperor Yuanfeng inevitably felt that Mrs. Su was too arrogant.

  The human mind is inherently very complex and changeable.

The old lady Su was silent for a while, then she looked up at Emperor Yuanfeng and said softly: "Your Majesty, thunder, thunder and rain are all your kindness. You were also deceived at the beginning. Besides, although I lost my son, so are you. The courtiers and wives are bold, and although they do not dare to compare themselves with the sages, the thoughts of parents all over the world have something in common.”
