The Sickly Scion’s Petite Wife Is Sweet And Cool

   Chapter 465 Retreat as advance

   As Song Jingchen guessed, the emperor thought of Song Li in the cold palace after having nightmares for several days.

  Fortunately, Eunuch Li offered his "slanderous words" on the side, which made him give up the idea of ​​taking Song Li out of the cold palace.

  The emperor asked people to set up a Buddhist hall in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and secretly invited the master of Lingyin Temple to enter the palace to recite the scriptures for a day. However, the situation not only did not improve, but it became more and more serious with the passage of time.

  From the initial unconscious murder, to now it has become a daily reliance on blood to quell the anger in my heart.

   Every day, **** corpses are carried out from the Hall of Mental Cultivation. In the past, the inner servant who wanted to show his face in front of his master when he broke his head, now changes his face whenever he mentions the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

  Finally, after almost killing several ministers in the early court, the emperor also discovered that something was wrong with him, but most of the time he couldn't control the anger in his heart at all.

   If it continues, there will be a reputation for brutality. The emperor directly quit the court, and only people send memorials every day.

   Don't worry about piercing the emperor's eyes anywhere, all the civil and military officials breathed a sigh of relief.

   However, everyone soon discovered that it is not that there is nothing to do without having to go to the early morning. If the memorial is not well written, it will also lead to death.

  The ministers could not, but also to save their lives, tacitly began to report the good news but not the sadness, and only wrote the words of sluggish beards and horses in the memorial.

   However, some major or controversial matters always need to be judged by one person. Finally, after a few old ministers discussed in private, they decided to elect a representative to report the matters that need the emperor's decision.

   But even Taishi Zhou was killed by ten boards, and it was a question of who would go.

  Someone murmured that His Majesty would never kill his own son. This remark awakened some thoughtful people present.

   When this representative is risky, is it not an opportunity?

   first blocked the danger of facing the emperor for everyone, just to win people's hearts.

  Be bold, and you can even take advantage of the emperor.

   With such a good opportunity, the officials of King Rui’s faction headed by Xuan Pingbo couldn’t sit still and pushed Shangguan Heng out one after another.

   As long as it is not me, no one has any objection, but where is King Rui?

  Uncle Xuan Ping was shocked to realize that he had entered the Assassin from Prince Rui's mansion and went to Shangguan Heng to go to the emperor to report his injury. It had been more than half a month. For such a long time, Shangguan Heng had never appeared in front of anyone.

   also blamed him for being so frightened by the emperor these days that he ignored it.

   As soon as he left the official office, Uncle Xuan Ping went straight to Prince Rui’s residence.

   "Uncle, the lord is still recovering from his wounds, and there is no visitor." Fugui carefully led the person into the main hall, and then ordered him to serve tea.

   Uncle Xuan Ping frowned and said displeasedly, "You said the same thing half a month ago, old man."

  Fugui said with a smirk: "My lord was hurt a little this time, and it hasn't healed..."

   When he said this, he felt a little guilty himself, not to mention that what the lord suffered was just a skin injury, even if he was stabbed by someone, with good medicine, it was impossible for him to not be able to see anyone for such a long time.

  Uncle Xuan Ping was not stupid, he didn't want to talk nonsense with him, so he got up from his chair and went to Shangguan Heng's yard.

  Fugui hurriedly chased after him to stop him: "Uncle, uncle, the lord said that he would not see guests..."

   "Go away, this old man sees his grandson, don't you want your son-in-law to agree?" Xuan Ping shouted sharply.

   "How dare a slave, it is really what the lord ordered..."

   "Then let him tell the old man himself." The more he blocked, the more unpleasant Xuan Pingbo felt, pushed him away and strode into the main courtyard.

   "Uncle..." Fugui was about to cry, so he couldn't really let Uncle Xuan Ping go out, but the elders of the prince were in front of him.

   There were several servants guarding the door of the main room. Uncle Xuan Ping glanced at him and pushed open the door regardless of everyone's obstruction. He happened to meet the ingot who was in a hurry inside.

   Looking at the clothes Yuan Bao was wearing, Uncle Xuan Ping felt his head buzzing, gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Where has your prince gone?"

   Yuanbao and Fugui fell to their knees with a thud, unable to speak.

   They also want to know, they clearly said that they would go out for a walk and come back, but it has been more than half a month...

   Just when Uncle Xuan Ping was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, a light flashed in Fugui's mind: "By the way, the lord left a letter to the uncle."

   I have to say that Shangguan Heng knew his grandfather too well, why did he only leave a letter to him? Didn't he expect that he would be the first to come to the door and find that he was not there?

  The letter was quickly brought up, Xuan Pingbo took a deep breath and opened it, and he even wrote two pages.

  He looked over patiently, and in the letter Shangguan Heng said that he had gone to the mountains and waters, and would not return to Beijing for ten or eight years.

  If you are worried that the new emperor will be unfavorable to their Luo family, you should resign the official as soon as possible and take the family back to the hometown for the elderly. You don’t have to worry about the lack of money for the elderly. He has already prepared them for them, and they are all stored in the bank...

   The whole article is just one meaning, he doesn't want to be an emperor!

   Bo Xuan Ping was so angry that he fainted and scolded, "Send someone to look for it soon."

  The rich and the rich should be called for someone.

   "Wait a minute." Xuan Pingbo stopped the people and said solemnly: "Let them search in secret, and this matter must not be made public."

  If the officials who support Shangguan Heng know that he is so unreliable, it will be useless to put more benefits into it.

  The rich eyes flashed: "Yes."

   In fact, there is a reason for Shangguan Heng to leave. King Jing has fallen, which means that he and Shangguan Yu are the only two princes left in the capital.

   One has support from outsiders and the other has nothing, so wouldn't he be pushed up? How could he be willing?

   In the past, he was obedient because he was worried that King Jing would kill all those who thought they supported him, including his mother-in-law, but he didn't have this worry if it was replaced by Shangguan Yu.

   Naturally, I patted my **** boldly and left.

   Uncle Xuan Ping beat the servants of Prince Rui's Mansion, calmed down his anger a little, and made sure that no one else could see the difference before leaving.

   Originally wanted to go back to the house directly, but thinking of the bank mentioned in the letter, he made the driver turn around again.

At first, he didn't care about Shangguan Heng's so-called pension money. After all, the lord's salary was not much. Of course, when the shopkeeper told him that he had 500,000 taels of silver in his hands, Xuan Pingbo also sucked it back. Take a breath.

   While wondering where Shangguan Heng got so much money, he also deeply realized that it would not be easy to find someone back this time.

  Without him, Shangguan Heng handed over all his old money, indicating that he had planned it, so how could they find it easily?

   It is estimated that even if he really pushes him to the throne, that stinky boy will leave behind an imperial edict to slip away.

   Xuan Pingbo has been specializing in that goal all his life, and he doesn't want to give up on it, but it takes time to find someone, and court affairs cannot be delayed, so he can only agree to let Shangguan Yu come forward.

Immediately, everyone discovered that the prince, who used to be unremarkable, could not only come out of the imperial study unscathed again and again, but all problems could be solved perfectly and quickly after passing through his hands, which was even better than that of the emperor. The effect is even better.

   This is simply a surprise. Many ministers have gradually changed their views from the beginning only to save their lives, and feel that even if the emperor is now on the throne to the wise king, it is not impossible.

   Listening to his colleagues' praise for Shangguan Yu, Xuan Pingbo was anxious and helpless. Having seen Shangguan Yu's ability, even he had to admit that his grandson, who couldn't support the wall, couldn't compare with others.

  …

  Song Jingchen spends the rest of his days in his study at home, apart from going to Dali Temple every day to deal with cases.

   On the surface, he seems to have left the center of power, but in fact, every day someone sends the news of the DPRK in the form of letters.

   knock knock knock ~

   The knock on the door sounded, Song Jingchen glanced at the person who was looking at the book and looked drowsy, and asked softly, "Can you go back to your room to rest?"

   "No, I'm not sleepy." Saying that, Shen Yijia quietly wiped the halazia that was accidentally spilled on the desk with her sleeve.

  Song Jingchen had no choice but to let Nanfeng in first.

   "Master, King Rui has news, do you want to disclose it to the Luo family?"

   "Where are the people?" Song Jingchen asked.

   "Just outside the city..." Nan Feng paused and continued: "He dressed up as an old woman looking for relatives and was taken in by Miss Yuan."

  The Luo family thought that in more than half a month, Shangguan Heng must have run away, but they didn't know why it was dark under the lights.

   Hearing that it was related to Yuan Yuwan, Shen Yijia was shocked: "That sister Yuwan was not deceived by him, we have to tell her quickly..."

   Nanfeng twitched the corner of his mouth: "It's the news that Miss Yuan sent someone to provide us."

   So it wasn't Yuan Yuwan who was deceived, but Shangguan Heng, who thought he was cheating. I'm afraid he didn't know that he was recognized long ago, and he was still playing role-playing for himself.

  Shen Yijia:  …

  Song Jingchen shook his head: "No, just make sure he left by himself."

   He means that there is no need to disclose it to the Luo family.

   Since he left voluntarily, it does not rule out the possibility that he was advancing by retreating.

   On the contrary, it is another matter.

   It seems that the muddy water in the capital is almost unable to hide people.

  Song Jingchen raised his head from the letter and suddenly asked, "Yitong and they are coming back soon, right?"

  It has been almost a month since a few people went to check on the princess of the previous dynasty of Wu Kingdom, and Yangshu Village in Qingyang City was only five or six days away from the capital. If everything went well, it would be time to come back.

   Xu is really not talking about it. The family was having dinner that day, and the five people entered the Song family in a hurry.

   Come back with them and still have iron eggs.

   I haven't seen him for a few months, and Tie Dan has grown a lot taller, and he looks a lot more mature and stable.

Also, he is now able to manage so many shops on his own. He is no longer the one in Xiagou Village who only takes his children up the mountain to dig bird nests and fish for fish in the river, and is chased by Widow Wang with a broom and runs all over the village. Bad boy.

   I still remember the first time we met, this stinky boy secretly followed her up the mountain and said he wanted to worship her as the boss...

   Looking at the person in front of him, Shen Yijia has a feeling that my family is just growing up.

  Tie Dan first said hello to Mrs. Li, then thumped and knelt down in front of Song Jingchen and Shen Yijia, and kowtowed three times, turning his forehead red.

   really startled the people present.

  Tie Dan carelessly touched his forehead and grinned, "I know it all, the murderer who killed my mother has already subdued, and these three heads are the ones I should kowtow."

  Shen Yijia sent him a letter and also explained what Liu Piaopiao did in it. Now he doesn't mention Liu Piaopiao at all, and it seems that he doesn't intend to pursue it any further.

Li Shi had always felt guilty about the death of Widow Wang, but at this time she couldn't hold back her red eyes. She pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, pulled the person up, and said angrily, "You child, what is your family saying? ? Haven't eaten yet, sit down and eat first."

  Mo Yuan has added a pair of tableware

   "Hey." Iron Egg sat down obediently.

  Thinking of something, Mrs Li said again: "Wait first, I'll add some of your favorite dishes."

Seeing that they had just used chopsticks, Tie Dan hurriedly stopped people: "Auntie, no, I will stay at home for a few days before leaving, you can cook it for me tomorrow, I want to eat more, then Auntie Don't think I'm greedy."

   He politely said that there is no need to trouble you, he really regarded himself as a family, which made Li feel a lot better.

   "Hey, okay, tell my aunt what you want to eat, and my aunt will cook it for you tomorrow." Li Shi said, and used the chopsticks to pick up a lot of dishes for him.

  The iron egg came without refusal, and he ate it with his head full, and he still boasted: "The dishes made by my aunt are delicious."

   Li smiled and said, "Eat more if you like it."

   A tube of people embarrassed and didn't leave, Song Jingchen said, "You guys go to dinner first, and I'll talk about it later."

"Yes."

   After dinner, Mrs. Li called Tie Dan to try on the clothes. While making clothes for her family these days, she did not forget to make them for Tie Dan. Now that she tried it on, she could change it if it didn’t fit.

   Brother Hao and the others had a lot to say to Tie Dan, so they went too.

  Including Fan Mingyuan, the rest followed Song Jingchen to the study.

   Looking at the faces of a few people, Song Jingchen guessed that they had gained a lot from this trip, and knocked on the table: "Tell me, what did you find?"

A few people, look at me, I'll look at you, and finally Yitong stood up and said: "A few of my subordinates in Yangshu Village heard that there was indeed a girl from a foreign country who fled to their village 21 years ago, and was killed by a grandson. The surname was taken in by someone else, but that family moved out of Yangshu Village that year, and no one knows where they moved..."

   After a pause, he continued: "My subordinates also learned that that year coincided with the enthronement of the present day, and the civil servants were elected by universal suffrage, and the Sun family just had such a quota."

  Whenever the throne changes, the palace will release some old ladies from the palace and select a new batch.

   Generally, how many places each place will give will be arranged by the local county magistrate.

The best years for a woman are only a few years. If you go to the palace, you will not be able to save your life or not. Even if you come out alive, you will be old. Many people will not want to, but this is mandatory, not You don't have to run if you don't want to...

  Song Jingchen frowned.

"Although everyone in the village guessed that it was because the girl of the Sun family had entered the palace, and the Sun family could not bear the blow, they moved with the woman who had fled, but the subordinates kept an eye on it..." Yitong took out a stack from his arms. Portrait: "This is a portrait drawn by a local famous painter based on the description of the person in the village who has seen the face of the fleeing woman."

  Because it's too long ago, and everyone's memory is a bit biased, so I draw a little too much.

   He took out another piece: "This is the portrait of the girl from the Sun family."
