The Prime Minister's Wife

Chapter 231 Reciprocity (2)
In the Hall of Qinzheng with a bright and upright plaque hanging, before the early court was about to end, Eunuch Tan, the emperor's chief eunuch, sang as a matter of routine: "If you have something to play, you will leave the court if there is nothing to do."

I saw that the censor made Chen Ping go out of the row and said, "I will report to the emperor, and I have something important to announce."

The emperor said lightly: "Chen Yushi, what do you want to play?"

Chen Ping knelt on the ground and said in a loud voice: "Qi Zou the emperor, the minister received a report that Mrs. Zhong Shuling wantonly accepted bribes from the old ministers of the Feng Dynasty on the occasion of Laba Festival, please allow the emperor to strictly investigate some matters, so as to rectify the law. "After finishing speaking, he raised the memorial in his hand high with both hands, as if the matter had been proved.

All the ministers in the court immediately talked about it, and the only person who was involved walked out of the queue as if nothing had happened, knelt down, raised a smile and said: "Return to the emperor, my wife did indeed receive a lot of gifts on the Laba Festival, and returned the same gift." Give it to them. This kind of courtesy should not be regarded as bribery."

Chen Ping said disapprovingly: "I'm afraid that the gifts you get back are not worth one ten-millionth of what others give you."

Mu Zhaoming said lightly: "Your Majesty, Chen Yushi is so sure that his wife accepts bribes, it must be after a detailed investigation, why don't you ask Chen Yushi to directly announce to the public, who exactly did your wife accept bribes, and what kind of bribes did you accept? Things." There was no intention of covering up.

Chen Ping said solemnly: "Going back to the emperor, before I announce it, I'm afraid that there will be changes. Can you put Mrs. Zhongshuling in prison first..."

The emperor interrupted Chen Ping with a wave of his hand, and said with a kind smile: "I know what Mrs. Chen is worried about. She was sent to the prison without trial, which is not in line with the court regulations. I will let her go directly to the palace for trial in the hall. Right and wrong can be judged at a glance." Do you have any opinions." Just to see how capable this girl is.

"I have no objection." All the courtiers responded in unison, just in time to see whether the rumored confidante was as good as the rumored one.

The emperor took good care of his fingers, tapped the armrest of the dragon chair lightly and said: "Eunuch Qin, go and deliver the decree, and Xuan Zhongshu orders your wife to enter the palace for an audience."

Looking at Chen Ping again, he said, "Chen Yushi, after Mrs. Zhong Shuling leaves the mansion, you will bring people into Mu's mansion to search. Remember, don't damage the items in the mansion." It's a tiger.

Chen Ping immediately ran down and said, "Minister, obey the order."

Before leaving, he glanced at Mu Zhaoming. Mu Zhaoming raised the corners of his lips, smiled disapprovingly, and retreated to the team.

Boqing is sitting in front of the jade chessboard in Mufu, listening to Manzhu and Lingju's report. The recent progress in ASEAN has been smoother than she expected.Just as they were about to say a few words, they suddenly heard a rush of footsteps, and the three of them had to stop and looked up.

Nanny Li was walking towards Tianhua Pavilion in a hurry after the boy who watched the door. When she came to Tian Boqing, she didn't even have time to salute, so she gasped and said, "Young Madam, the Emperor has a decree. Entering the palace to see you, the father-in-law who delivered the decree is still waiting outside."

His eyes swept over Bo Qing quickly, then he turned to Jin'er and Bo'er and said, "The father-in-law is in a hurry, I'm afraid he doesn't have time to dress up the young lady, so hurry up and get the young lady's cloak."

Looking at her body tenderly, apart from the absence of a bun, there is nothing wrong with her long carmine dress. She said calmly, "Don't worry, mother, I have something to tell you."

Li Momo said worriedly: "Young Madam, please tell me, the slaves will definitely do it."

Boqing said indifferently: "After I leave, if anyone comes to the house, you just need to do what they say, and don't conflict with them."

Nanny Li didn't know why Baoqing explained it like this, but she was always justified, and hurriedly said: "Yes, young lady, the slaves will definitely handle things in the house, young lady can rest assured that she will never cause trouble for young lady .”

"Ok!"

Boqing replied softly, put on a white cloak inlaid with snow fox fur, Bo'er put on the hood for her, took the hand warmer from Jin'er, and hurried out of Tianhua Pavilion.

Outside the door, a luxurious carriage was parked at the bottom of the steps, and a middle-aged eunuch stood next to him, with no expression on his face. When he saw the tenderness, he bent down and saluted, "I have seen Mrs. Zhongshuling, please!"

After looking at the other party ruthlessly, he thought to himself, what is the matter that the chief eunuch next to the emperor came to pick her up into the palace, and hurriedly stepped forward and lowered his eyes and said: "Eunuch Lao Tan, you have had a hard time, let's go."

Eunuch Tan glanced at Boqing in surprise, and didn't say much. He let Boqing get into the carriage first, and then he jumped on the horse next to him, and returned to the palace first.

Boqing got off the carriage, and when he saw the three big characters Xuanwumen on the city gate, he couldn't help being secretly surprised.Only the emperor and courtiers enter and exit through this gate, and concubines and concubines usually enter and exit through the Suzaku in the west. Although they are confused, they don't ask too many questions, and they follow the little eunuch who leads the way.

Qinzheng Hall, the three words suddenly appeared in front of my eyes, and my eyes dimmed. This is the place where the emperor and courtiers went to court early. What does it mean for the little eunuch to lead the house here.

She didn't allow her to think too much, the voice of Xuan Zhao had already come from the hall: "Xuan, Mrs. Zhong Shuling, see you!"

Boqing took a deep breath, took off the cloak and handed it to the little eunuch, and walked slowly up the stone steps paved with white jade, step by step, walking in the center of the imperial power.

In the resplendent but dignified hall, everyone turned their heads involuntarily, looking at the white figure slowly approaching, with a hint of disappointment in their eyes.

That petite body is completely wrapped in a carmine red dress, and the long hair that has grown to her ankles is casually draped behind her. On her palm-sized face, she has a pair of clear and dark big eyes. The lips are a ripe cherry red, but it doesn't make people feel particularly amazing.

Bo Qingying knelt down to salute, with a slightly hoarse voice, said calmly and indifferently: "Concubine, see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live, long live."

The emperor said kindly: "Mrs. Zhongshuling, do you know why it was passed on to you to go to the hall?" When I went to the hall, all the civil and military officials were present, and there was no panic at all, so I couldn't look up.

Boqing replied truthfully: "Going back to the emperor, I was in a hurry on the way, and my concubine didn't have time to ask carefully."

"Then let me tell you, there is a censor envoy, Mr. Chen, who is now exposing you, taking the opportunity to accept bribes from the old officials of the Feng Dynasty on the grounds of giving Laba porridge to each other during the Laba Festival. Is there such a thing?"

"Going back to the emperor, there is absolutely no such thing. The concubine was wronged."

The indifferent to quiet voice seemed to be thrown into the hearts of everyone like a small stone.

It set off waves of waves and changed everyone's first impression of Boqing in an instant. They were all surprised by her amazing calmness.

Even though they have been officials for many years, if they were questioned by the emperor in court, they would be too nervous to speak coherently, but this woman looked indifferent, as if she was really wronged.
