A Precious Pearl in the Imperial City - Chapter 103
“Ming Xiaozhu, you see that my eyes are not right, do you think I am drunk?”
“His Majesty is now handsome, clear and wise, how could he be drunk?” Jiuzhu denied it, and gently scratched his palm with his finger.
“Okay.” Wang Chen looked down at the hands held by the two of them, followed Jiuzhu obediently, only muttering occasionally, worrying about not being able to bask in the moon.
“Sister Vernal Equinox.” Jiuzhu whispered a few words in the ear of the Equinox: “I’ve troubled my sister.”
The equinox smiled: “Please don’t worry, the princess, I will do it well.” After saying that, the king of Chaochen and Jiuzhu blessed their bodies and walked away quickly.
“Your Highness, shall we sit back and forth?”
“Don’t sit and walk.” Chen Wang slowly shook his head, his reddish cheeks carried a bit of stubbornness unique to a young man.
“Okay, let’s not sit.” Jiuzhu didn’t let go of Wang Chen’s hand, and the palace lady **** carrying the lantern walked silently beside the two of them, bowing her head not to make a sound.
“Ming Xiaozhu.” His fingers clasped her fingers together, infinitely lingering, “I am very happy.”
“Ok?”
Wang Chen laughed, slightly…satisfied and stupid: “I am very happy to marry you.”
“That day, you looked very nice wearing a tangled hairpin.” There was a little more complacency in his smile: “When you told Zheng Wangnan that you were tacky, you were also very cute.”
“It turns out that His Royal Highness was in the store at that time.” Jiuzhu recalled the first time he went to Beijing Street with his sixth brother, picking up jewellery.
“I remember that His Royal Highness that day was wearing a purple robe.” Jiuzhu smiled: “The appearance of His Royal Highness made everything dimmed.”
He rode a white horse and became the most beautiful scenery on the street.
It’s just that she didn’t know that this handsome young man was the benefactor she had been looking for for a long time.
“So in your eyes, I am the best looking?”
Jiuzhu nodded: “His Royal Highness is the most beautiful and the best.”
A big, happy smile appeared on Wang Chen’s face.
“Come up.” Chen Wang suddenly bent down: “I will carry you.”
“His Royal Highness…” Jiuzhu didn’t move.
“Are you still suspecting that I am drunk?”
Dear Highness, you are really drunk.
Jiuzhu leaned on Wang Chen’s back: “I’m just worried that I’m tired of you.”
“You are only a few times heavy, how can you be tired of me.” Chen Wang drunk up, but his hand was tightly holding Jiuzhu.
Jiuzhu even felt that even if His Royal Highness fell, he would use his body to protect her.
“I regret it.” The wind blew Wang Chen’s robes, and his voice became ethereal.
“See you at the beginning of the year, I shouldn’t let you leave alone.” The night and the wine make it easy for people to say what is hidden in the heart.
“I should carry you back to the capital like I am now. I will wear the most beautiful clothes and the best jewelry for you.” Full of heartache almost overflowed: “As long as there is a place for me, no one dares to give you half a point. Wronged.”
Jiuzhu put his head on his shoulders and listened quietly to his description of all beautiful ideas.
“Dongcheng’s cold cake is the best, Xicheng’s noodles are the best…”
She smiled with her mouth raised, closed her eyes and listened to his voice and the sound of the wind.
A moon was hung at the entrance of the Kylin Palace.
Wang Chen stood at the door with Jiuzhu on his back, looking up at the full moon on the eaves: “What is that?”
“That is the moon I gave to His Royal Highness.” Jiuzhu got down from his back and took him to sit on the steps under the eaves: “Your Royal Highness wants to bask in the moon, I will accompany you.”
The full moon shook gently, and their shadows intertwined and became a round ball.
“No, don’t want the moon.” The drunk King Chen leaned his head on Jiuzhu’s shoulder.
“What does your Royal Highness want?” Jiuzhu tilted his shoulders slightly to make him lean more comfortably.
“I need to……”
“You who accompany me to bask in the moon.”
The moon creaked and shook, Wang Chen leaned on Jiuzhu to fall asleep slowly, Jiuzhu looked at his quiet sleeping face and chuckled.
“Okay.”
The night was dark, and when Xiangjian came to the Kylin Palace, King Chen was already asleep.
“Aunt Xiangjuan.” Jiuzhu walked out of the room with her thick black hair scattered on her head: “It’s so late, Aunt Hardworking.”
“The queen mother heard that some of the princes had drunk, so she asked the servants to come and have a look.”
Her Royal Highness seldom gets drunk. In the past, she always sent people around her to watch after drinking alcohol. Today, when she came to the Kylin Palace, she suddenly remembered that if Your Royal Highness drank again in the future, the Empress would not have to worry.
Your Highness is already the princess’s person, and the princess will take care of him.
“His Royal Highness has fallen asleep.” Jiuzhu smiled and said in a low voice: “His Royal Highness looks good after being drunk.”
obedient?
What kind of misunderstanding does the princess have about her highness?
Even if she is a close-knit lady of the empress, she can’t do it without conscience and praise the Royal Highness Chen for being good, but Princess Chen did it.
“With the princess taking care of your majesty, the servants are relieved.” Seeing that Jiuzhu had taken off her makeup, Xiang Jie stood up and said goodbye: “Don’t disturb your Royal Highness and the princess to rest, the servants leave.”
“It’s late at night, be careful, Auntie.” Jiuzhu picked up the lantern and delivered the silk to the gate of the palace, and called two eunuchs to accompany her.
XiangJian was very pressing in her heart. She is a court lady, where is the princess to deliver it to the door in person.
She has been in the palace for many years, and she can tell whether she is sincere or acting.
The princess was really worried that she would be unsafe on the way to Mingyue Palace.
“Wang Hao, the lamp at the door is really like the moon.” She raised her head and noticed the full moon lamp under the eaves of the door: “I was confined in the hidden mansion back then. His Royal Highness was only six or seven years old. The room was dull and boring in the summer night. In order to coax her to enjoy the coolness in the yard, the lady said that as long as she suns the moon more, Granny Moon will bless him.”
“Look at me, and talk about these things over the past ten years.” Xiangjuan smiled apologetically: “The princess, go back to rest, and the servants leave.”
“Auntie, go slowly.” Jiuzhu handed the lantern in her hand to Xiangjian: “It’s not easy to walk on the dark road, aunt, take the lantern.”
Xiangju did not refuse, carrying the lamp, and carrying two Jiuzhu to arrange to send her **** away.
“Come here.” Jiuzhu looked up at the full moon lantern: “Take the lantern down and hang it outside the bedroom of my Highness and I.”
Let Mother Moon always bless Your Highness.
Outside Jingzhao’s Mansion, Du Qingke slowly walked out of the gate.
He was still wearing the clothes from the day he was taken into Jingzhao Mansion, the brocade robe was wrinkled around him, and there was an unpleasant smell.
Fortunately, it is night, no one can see him in embarrassment.
“Master.” The Du’s servant waiting outside saw him come out and quickly picked him up in the car.
Sitting in the carriage, Du Qingke, who endured for a long time, looked gloomy.
All the things that a few aristocratic families have done in a hurry have now been found out.
Knowing that these people are so stupid, he shouldn’t have gotten so close to them for the things in the stupid family.
Fortunately, these sloppy contacts are in his hands, and they are no longer useful.
Thinking of the crimes he suffered in prison these days, he took off his dirty robe: “King An, King Chen!”
Especially Wang Chen, his dog legs seem to have clairvoyance, ruining the instigation schemes of several families.
Had it not been for him that he never trusted those idiots and did not participate in what they did, I am afraid that he would not be able to get out of the gate of Jingzhao Mansion.
Although he succeeded, he still had to pay a hundred and two fines. Jing Zhaofu Yin didn’t show any affection for the family head.
“Who is sitting in the carriage, King Wuwei Night Watch, please cooperate with us to check.”
Kingo Guard?
Du Qingke opened the carriage curtain: “It’s me.”
He recognized at a glance that the other party was Jin Wuwei who took them to Jingzhao Mansion that day.
Who is that?
Yu Jian listened to the other party’s tone with confidence, as if sure they could know him, Jinwuwei.
but……
Who is this middle-aged man with unkempt, wrinkled clothes and dusty uppers?
“Are you?” Yu Jian stared at the messy beard on the other’s chin for a moment, and said, “Please hand over your identity token.”
“Under Du Qingke.” Du Qingke handed over the identity token.
“Oh.” Yu Jian prolonged her voice and nodded again and again: “I’ll just say, how can I look familiar.”
A few days ago, Patriarch Du, who was still personable and elegant, was kept in jail for a few days. That’s it?
From this it can be seen that no demeanor can be separated from the people around him.
“Patriarch Du, please.” Yu Jian returned the identity token to Du Qingke, riding a horse and stepping aside.
“Thank you.” Du Qingke took a deep look at Yu Jian and put the curtain down.
Yu Jian raised her eyebrows. What did Du Qingke’s eyes mean?
Hold a grudge?
“Du Qingke was released. Where are the other family leaders?” Yu Jian asked the people behind him.
“The two who took the Liang family woman and killed the man were sentenced to be executed. The other sentenced to exile, this Du Qingke did not participate, and Jingzhao Mansion did not find evidence related to him, so he was let go. .”
“However, Lord Fu Yin sentenced him to a hundred and two silver fines because he knew nothing about it.”
That is one hundred taels of silver, not one hundred copper coins.
Those things really have nothing to do with Du Qingke?
Yu Jian didn’t believe it.
But the yamen is where the evidence is spoken. Even if everyone knows that Du Qingke is suspicious, without the evidence, the yamen has nothing to do with him.
“I heard that Du Qingke is still the uncle of the three princes and concubines, the boss, we sent him into the yamen a few days ago, will he retaliate against us?”
“What are you afraid of? It was not us who sent him to the yamen, it was Wang Chen and Wang An.” When it came to Wang Chen, Yu Jian had a subtle sense of trust: “He dare to avenge the two princes?”
“He doesn’t dare to move the two princes, but he dares to move us.”
Yu Jian: “…”
If you can be the dog leg of the Chen Palace, you don’t have to worry about Du Qingke’s revenge.
The judgments of several family heads involved executions, so they had to be submitted to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and Dali Temple, who would make the final decision.
The Ministry of Criminal Affairs did not even have room for discussion, and directly affixed the official seal of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and agreed to Jingzhao’s verdict.
On the Dali Temple side, there were a few discussions, but they were all cursing these family heads.
“At any rate, the ancestors have been prominent, how can you do such a ridiculous thing?”
“You are still raising young girls in captivity, this kind of beast is only for distribution?”
“I also think that this Patriarch should be sentenced to execution.”
After some discussion, there was an additional name on the list of beheadings.
“Brother Jiyuan.” An official opened the transcript of the victim’s confession and brought it to Ming Jiyuan: “The person who saved this woman’s life turned out to be Princess Chen.”
“What?” Ming Jiyuan took the file and flipped it through.
[The woman wants to extinct herself on the cliff, Princess Chen couldn’t bear it, she stretched her arms to save her. 】
“Princess Chen has justice and saved the life of this poor woman.” The official said with emotion: “In order to prevent this woman from being severely punished, Wang Chen also arranged for the doctor to save the life of the assassinated Patriarch. It was really well-intentioned.”
If the Patriarch died before the verdict came out, according to the Dacheng law, the murderer would pay for his life.
His Royal Highness Chen Wang is more humane than everyone thought.
“She’s petite and weak, and she never thought that she could still have such supernatural power in a hurry.”
Ming’s family are frail and gentle!
