A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 75
Tao Hua was startled, subconsciously covered his mouth with a slap, and looked around like a thief.

"Are you crazy? How can such words fall into other people's ears?"

Mu Wuxia blinked, pulled her hand away and said, "There are no outsiders here, my voice is not loud, what's the matter?"

"My lord isn't even on guard against my concubine?" Pointing at the tip of her nose, Tao Hua stared at him with wide eyes: "I have not known you for a long time, how can you be sure that I will not speak out?"

Tilting his head, Mu Wuxia asked innocently, "Will you speak out?"

"……Won't."

"That's it." With a slight smile, he said, "I'm very accurate in judging people. I know who is a good person and who is a bad person. You don't have to worry."

This is true, Tao Hua nodded slightly.Compared with King Jing who is blind with his eyes open, King Nan is young, but he does know people.Just based on his close and defensive attitude towards Shen Zaiye, he knew that this little prince was definitely not someone in the pool.

But the throne... the road to succession has always been dangerous, and this child is unwilling to follow Shen Zaiyepu's path, so what will be waiting for him ahead?
The carriage was getting closer and closer to the slums, and it was originally planned to take a pass here, and then return to the prime minister's mansion.But in their carriage, one could tell at a glance that the royal family and nobles were sitting in it. When the poor people lying on the street saw it, they naturally stood up one after another, wanting to follow the carriage.

"It's not too good." Scared by the sights from all around, Tao Hua put down the curtain of the car, frowned and said to the driver outside: "Go through quickly!"

"Yes." The coachman agreed, and with a vigorous push on the horse, the carriage started galloping.

Nan Wang was taken aback, and was about to ask what was wrong, but felt that the horse in front seemed to hit something, and there was a muffled "bang".

The coachman reined in his horse, and the guards beside the cart also became nervous. Someone went to look at the front and came back to report: "My lord, I hit someone."

Pupils shrank, Mu Wuxia lifted the curtain and got off the horse immediately, Taohua frowned, and had no choice but to follow.

Someone in front of the horse was knocked far away, spitting blood from his mouth.The coachman turned pale with fright, followed behind Nan Wang and said, "My lord, this man jumped out suddenly, I can't stop the horse..."

Mu Wuxia strode forward to look, the guards next to him barely separated the raging poor people, leaving him an open space.

The person who was hit was a boy about his age, with a dirty face and no expression in his eyes.He vomited blood and waved his hand to grab the hem of his clothes, but was stopped by the guard next to him.The child looked up at Mu Wuxia, and when his eyes touched the golden crown on his head and his beautiful body, the look in his eyes was like raging sea water, full of envy and injustice, and he opened his mouth to say something.

Taohua pursed her lips, lowered her body and moved closer to him: "What do you want to say?"

"He...seems to be a rich man." The little boy was grateful but also filled with hatred: "If you hit me to death, you have to give my mother a tael of silver, otherwise... otherwise I will not let him go of!"

Mu Wuxia groaned, and squatted down to look at him angrily: "You ran out to bump into a horse, just for this tael of money?!"

Is human life so worthless?He is about the same age as him, but he is only worth one tael of silver?
Probably frightened by Mu Wuxia's expression, the little boy softened his tone and said cautiously, "Then half a tael? Or...give...give my sister two steamed buns..."

Tao Hua was shocked, and turned to look at Mu Wuxia. The latter's eyes were red, and he stretched out his hand to pinch the child's wrist and asked, "Where are your mother and sister?"

The boy was taken aback for a moment, as if he breathed a sigh of relief, and spat out blood again, struggling to continue.Mu Wuxia stared at his mouth, only to see that the pale and cracked mouth opened and closed twice, and the wrist like a firewood in his hand suddenly lost strength.

Taking a breath, Tao Hua quickly pinched his pulse.

There has been no movement.

All around were the voices of the poor, but Mu Wuxia's mind was blank. She stared blankly at the person in front of her, and didn't move or speak for a long time.

Tao Hua pursed her lips, and called him worriedly: "My lord?"

Her feet might be numb, Mu Wuxia wanted to get up, but she fell to the ground, looked at her after a while, and asked blankly, "Why is my life so good when he died?"

"Because you are the prince, the son of the emperor, and he is just a commoner, or a pariah." Taohua stretched out her hand to help him up, and there were waves in her eyes, but in the end she just smiled and said: "The prince, the general, is there Naturally noble."

Mu Wuxia trembled slightly, looked at her with complicated eyes for a long time, did not dare to look at the corpse on the ground again, and only ordered to the guard next to him: "Bury him, find his mother and sister, and give each of them two steamed buns!"

After finishing speaking, he took Taohua back to the carriage.

The poor people outside rioted, and someone yelled: "The royal people just don't treat us as human beings. This will kill people, so how many steamed buns are they given?!"

"Things that ignore human life! You will be punished!"

Someone started picking up stones and throwing them on the carriage, causing a chaotic sound on the roof of the carriage.

Tao Hua looked at Nan Wang for a long time, and said softly: "My lord really admires me."

"What is there to admire?" Mu Wuxia's hands were still trembling: "Admiration for my king's use of four steamed buns to pay for a human life?"

"Yes." Taohua nodded.

Mu Wuxia frowned, looking at her with bloodshot eyes.Taohua smiled slightly, and said softly as if comforting: "If you really pay him a tael of silver, I am afraid that in the future there will be more poor people who want to hit the nobles' horses, and more people will die. The prince's actions are cold-blooded, but his heart is not good. It's so gentle."

As soon as his throat tightened, the little prince's eyes suddenly became fragile, he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he kept his head away.

For the first time, someone understood him and didn't call him a lunatic.He's really not crazy, he just thinks differently from them.Why do people who think differently from them have to be considered wrong?He is not wrong, and he will always prove to Shen Zaiye and his father little by little in the future that he is really not wrong.

The poor were furious, and the carriage couldn't move an inch. The guard outside the carriage hurriedly said: "My lord, should you go to the yamen to find someone to rescue you?"

"Don't." Mu Wuxia frowned: "Just go to the prime minister's mansion and find someone."

Go to the Yamen to find someone, that is, Jing Zhaoyin's governance of the country is not good, and none of these poor people will end well.

The guard paused and took orders.Listening to the sound of the car being smashed, Taohua folded her arms and said with a smile: "My lord is really generous and kind."

"Those who don't know are innocent." Mu Wuxia lowered his eyes: "It's just a burden on you."

Shaking her head, Tao Hua said with a smile: "This kind of experience is quite novel."

Half an hour has passed long ago, but this happened today, even if she went back late, Shen Zaiye shouldn't blame her, right?
The bodyguard who reported the letter passed the message to the porter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but the porter didn't go to the Linwu Academy, but was quickly reported to the Linghan Academy.

"It's really that I didn't read the almanac when I went out." Qin Jieyu stood in the courtyard of Linghanyuan, his eyes rolled around: "You don't need to tell the master, just let the nursing home bring some people to rush there."

"Yes." The servant agreed, bowed and stepped back.

Jiang Taohua came from Shen Shi, and now it is almost You Shi.He didn't return for an hour and violated Xiangye's orders, so he will be subject to family law when he comes back.

Linwu Academy.

Shen Zaye looked at the time and asked Zhanlu, "Haven't you come back yet?"

Zhan Lu bowed his head: "Please calm down, Mrs. Jiang and the prince have always been close, so they may have played for a while longer."

close?Shen Zaiye sneered, pulled a book of house rules beside him and threw it in front of Zhanlu: "You read what is written on it?"

There is no need to look at it, he will recite it.Zhanlu sighed: "Ms. Jiang has never guarded this thing with you, and you have never bothered with her before..."

"That's why she has developed such a lawless look!" Rubbing between her brows, Shen Zaiye said displeasedly: "Go and watch at the door, and when she comes back, immediately lock her up in Jingyetang."

Zhanlu was taken aback: "Closed again?"

Looking up at him, Shen Zaiye thought for a while, nodded and said: "That's right, I didn't see her realize anything when she was locked up last time. This time, not only will she be locked up, but she won't even be given cabbage and tofu. She will be released after two days of starvation! "

"……Yes."

Previously, I was worried that the mansion would skip Mrs. Jiang's meals, but now it's the master who refuses to feed others himself. What is he thinking?Zhan Lu pursed her lips, no matter what, she should follow her master's orders.

It was getting dark, Taohua and Mu Wuxia were stuck in the slum for a long time before they were rescued by the Xiangfu's people.The two said goodbye at the gate of Xiangfu, Taohua looked at Nanwang with a smile and said: "You don't need to think too much when you go back, just continue to do what you want to do."

Holding the car curtain in his hand, Mu Wuxia took a deep look at her and nodded seriously.

After the carriage left, Taohua turned around and prepared to enter the mansion, but as soon as she entered the side door, Zhanlu brought someone over and set her up.

"What's wrong?" Startled, Tao Hua frowned and looked at him: "What is this for?"

"Ms. Jiang, I've offended you." Zhan Lu bit the bullet and said, "Master Xiang is in a bad mood. He said that you violated the house rules and that you have to go to Jing Ye Tang to think about it for two days."

ha?Taohua couldn't understand: "What family rule have I broken again?"

"Disobeying the Prime Minister's order is breaking the family rules." Zhan Lu explained to her in a low voice: "Your behavior today is against the Lord."

... Bowing her head and thinking about it, Tao Hua felt that this was the case. After all, he didn't let her go to the garden, but she did.It seemed that he didn't want her to leave the mansion, so she did.He promised to come back in half an hour, but it turned out to be too late.

But there is a reason for all of these, he can't just blame her for everything, right?

"Can I explain to Grandpa in person?" Taohua asked.

Zhanlu shook her head, and with a wave of her hand, she was locked in the Jingye Hall.The gate was locked, and there was no one inside. There was still Moss last time, but this time Moss was still in Zhengchun Pavilion, so maybe they didn't even know that she was locked in.

Shen Zaiye is really an unreasonable person!
