Rescue Little White Flower - Chapter 66
The news that the Queen Mother was imprisoned in her palace has not been banned for too long. After all, whether it is Shen Xiang, Dong’s Mansion, or even the big and small forces in the capital, all have the means to get the news they want from the palace.
Everyone in the palace shouldn’t be underestimated, even if the other party is just a court lady from the coat bureau or an **** from Yexiang.
At the same time, the court is changing.
Every day, officials are put to jail for various names, and new people are selected to fill the vacant positions every day.
“Shen Xiang—”
The officials following Shen Yihuan were full of anxiety on their faces.
They gathered in a hidden place to discuss the turmoil in the hall during this period.
The little emperor, who had been hiding for more than ten years, suddenly showed his might. It can be said that the power of thunder was set off in the court.
The person who was contemptuous by them and didn’t put it in their eyes has only let them know how much preparation he has made and how many nails he has buried by their side.
One after another officials who they thought were their own jumped out and accused them of their crimes. One after another, the crimes fell from the sky like bricks, and no one knew when they were hit on their heads.
Shen Yihuan was also deeply shocked.
For so many years, he dared to hold the emperor in order to make the princes. It was because at least two-thirds of the officials standing in the hall were his own disciples. The emperor issued the order as long as he disagrees. come out.
Even if the emperor wants to replace these people, he must be prepared that no one can fill the position after the replacement.
He never expected that the emperor would have buried the flag in the dark before he knew it, ready to fill those vacancies after the people who harvested him.
Over the years, in order to unite everyone with him, Shen Yihuan has done ugly things. After all, in order to form an alliance with one person, whether it is temptation or coercion, it is not as reliable as sharing a common secret with each other. .
At this time, these secrets have become untimely bombs, and no one knows which one will blow him to pieces.
Was it framed the veterans of the Three Dynasties, or cheated in the imperial examination, or something else?
He told himself, don’t panic, don’t panic, looking at the group of panic-stricken people in front of him, he said solemnly, “Quiet!”
He looked at them, once written on his complacent face, but now only the horror with the sword in his head is left.
The emperor’s actions during this time really frightened them.
“What are you afraid of,” he said, “all the things that should be handled are handled cleanly. After all, the little emperor is still young.”
If you are not young, you will not do things so blatantly and make a lot of noise.
Now the whole world knows that the little emperor wants to rectify the court line and clear the court.
But what’s the use of that.
Even though the little emperor had placed many meticulous works beside them, they had hidden everything that would really endanger their heads.
Even if the emperor’s people can find out something, no one is perfect, isn’t it? Who doesn’t have one or two shortcomings? Whether it is **** for flowers or vain, he believes that the little emperor will not mind that his courtiers are so imperfect.
Seeing that Shen Xiang’s faction was steady and completely ignored the actions of the little emperor in recent days, everyone gradually heaved a sigh of relief.
That’s right, the little emperor is still young, and they, who are a round older than him, can’t be beaten by a hairy boy?
At this time, everyone finally found the backbone of the main body, and then re-speaking of the flattery in the usual gatherings, and laughed unscrupulously.
It’s just that the horror that once appeared in the eyebrows, but it can’t be concealed.
…
The champion man who was investigating private salt was seriously injured and unconscious, his life or death is unknown.
When this news came out, some were happy and some were sad.
Worry, it is naturally the person who is on the side of the emperor.
When the young official heard the news, he gritted his teeth with hatred: “That old thief Shen Yihuan—”
A group of people with Shen Yihuan as the center are celebrating.
“Jiang is still old and spicy, the little emperor is a little tender after all, and only the trash of the Dong family will be easily cleaned up by him.”
“Haha, the little emperor must be so angry in his bed now that he is called Aniang!”
In the palace.
Others imagined that the little emperor, who was frustrated because of the failure of the person who sent out, was sitting in the study, and in front of him was a chess board full of black and white chess pieces.
After he dropped a piece, he turned the chessboard, grabbed a piece of the opposite color from the last dropped piece from the chess box, and landed it on the board again.
Bart — Bart—
In the study, all the palace members were driven out. Zhao Xingyue, who was sitting by the window, turned a book with his eyes slightly squinted. The winter sun seemed to make her feel just right, as if she was about to fall asleep.
There was only the sound of chess pieces hitting the ground from time to time.
A black figure floated in quietly and fell in front of the two of them.
“Return to the Lord, Lord Shen has returned to Beijing.”
Shen is not a small surname, but there is only one Lord Shen who will return to Beijing at this time.
Shen Qingwei.
The road back to Beijing was not smooth.
It was not because someone blocked it. On the contrary, the reason for the failure was that no one blocked it.
Thinking of the evidence she was carrying with her, Shen Qingwei, who was standing outside the gate of the capital, felt heavy in her heart, as if she was carrying a stone.
She is not stupid, she knows what these things she found out mean once they are sent to the emperor.
She didn’t know what her father was doing before, but after staying with Zhao Xingyue for more than a year, she knew very well how much pain Shen Yihuan was pierced in the flesh.
Once they get the chance to be removed, they will definitely start without hesitation.
But this is her father.
Even though Shen is not good to her, this is the father who gave birth to her.
They lived under the same roof for more than ten years. Even though she went from admiration to disappointment with her father, from yearning to learning to treat each other as a stranger, in any case, she could not change the fact that the other party was her own father.
Shen Qingwei thought about the tasks she would do many times, but she never thought that she would find out her own father.
At the beginning of the investigation of smuggling salt, she only wanted to be loyal to the country, eradicate the corrupt officials in the court, and clean up the government, but when she found Shen Yihuan’s head, she realized that things were not that simple.
Does Zhao Xingyue know Shen Yihuan’s involvement with these things?
She must know.
Shen Qingwei thought without hesitation, she didn’t even find a reason for Zhao Xingyue.
But the other party did not hesitate to hand this matter to herself, Shen Qingwei even remembered what Zhao Xingyue said to her the night before leaving–
“Qing Wei, you won’t let me down, will you?”
Of course she will not let her down.
She has never let her down.
In front of Zhao Xingyue, she never dared to do anything to disappoint her before she realized what kind of thoughts she had for her.
Yes, she dare not.
Zhao Xingyue was the first and only person who would bet on her with two words of expectation.
She dared not disappoint her.
She was afraid that Zhao Xingyue was disappointed in herself, and Zhao Xingyue’s expectations of her disappeared.
The disappearance of expectations means that attention will go away.
She didn’t want to go back to her previous life in the Shen family. No one paid attention or cared about. Her father’s eyes would only be on her concubine and concubine, and she, Shen Qingwei, was like an extra person from the Shen family.
But when she found out that Shen Yihuan was related to the smuggling of official salt, she still felt an unprecedented cold.
It’s ironic that her biological daughter has found evidence of his father’s wrongdoing.
She knew very well that what Shen Yihuan had done over the years was definitely more than just smuggling official salt.
Once the evidence in her hands is handed in, it is conceivable what fate Shen Yihuan and even the Shen family might suffer.
What about her?
In the process of investigating evidence, Shen Qingwei has always forced herself not to think about the treatment that the Shen family might suffer, and only devoted herself wholeheartedly to the collection of evidence.
She was divided into two people.
One person told her that she should not let down Zhao Xingyue’s training and hope for her, and that such an important thing must be done beautifully in her hands.
Another person asked her, are you crazy? You dealt with it yourself, but your own family, without the Shen family behind, what do you think you are, Shen Qingwei? When the time comes to squeeze round and squeeze flat, isn’t Zhao Xingyue alone in the final say?
For a period of dozens of days, Shen Qingwei was in the princess’s mansion, and all the meat she had finally raised in the princess’s mansion was dampened.
The heavy mind, little sleep and sluggish appetite made her haggard quickly.
At first glance, it seems hard to believe that this girl dressed in men’s clothing is only sixteen years old.
But she finally entered the palace.
When she knelt down and presented the materials in her hands to the palace servants sent by the emperor, she felt that there was an empty place in her heart.
…
When the imperial guards of the capital surrounded Shen Xiang’s mansion, a banquet was being held inside.
After the accident in the Dong family, Dong Jirou hurriedly married a small family whose family background was completely inferior to the Dong family in order not to be involved.
This made Shen Qingrong, who was called the Shuangshu of the Capital together with Dong Jirou, feels very good.
She held banquets, participated in banquets, in various banquets, showing her demeanor wantonly, the jealousy of countless noble ladies made her happy, and the love of countless young talents made her proud.
Shen Qingrong, who tried to attract the emperor at the banquet that day failed, but was found by the eldest princess to find an excuse to teach her a lesson, she returned and gave up the idea of becoming the mother of a country.
Sitting in the position of the most noble woman in the world certainly has an incomparable attraction to her, but if that means being involved in endless wars, Shen Qingrong feels that she might as well find someone who can control her and marry a woman. The cowardly and incompetent little emperor pleases the man she likes more. After all, behind her is Shen Xiang, isn’t it?
She is the daughter of the current prime minister, and her father is the most powerful person in this country. Even if she did not marry the emperor, she would be the most noble woman in the world.
Maybe it won’t be long before the queen sees her, she has to salute?
She dreamed about it happily, until the Guards who broke into the Shen’s Garden suddenly pointed the sharp blade in her hand at her.
“No one is allowed to move, the Imperial Guard carries out its mission.”
Young masters and ladies on the court, when have you seen this kind of posture?
The courageous ones have already burst into tears, and the courageous ones have turned white.
Someone tried to talk to him and asked what was going on, but was yelled back by the guards with a cold face.
As the host, Shen Qingrong plucked up his courage and coldly asked, “Who are you and why are you here?”
The Captain of the Janissary Guard, who knew what was about to happen, gave her a scornful look.
Just this look, like a needle, vented Shen Qingrong’s courage.
Her complexion turned pale in an instant–
She is not an ignorant idiot. In fact, Shen Qingrong has a much broader knowledge than most ladies who only know dresses and jewellery.
This is one of the reasons why she is so popular in the capital.
After all, compared with a beautiful face, the sons are looking for a good helper, a woman who can resonate with them in the pursuit of life and the ideal of struggle.
She realized something.
In contrast to the portrait, the Guards pulled all the people in the Shen Mansion who had been counted in the palace, one by one, to the outside of the hall not far from the entrance of the Shen Mansion–kneeling.
The guests who came to the banquet today were taken away one by one under the **** and guarantee of their families.
When they left, there was still an expression of horror on their faces.
The appearance of the Imperial Guard was undoubtedly sending a message that the Shen family was finished.
Shen Qingrong knelt among the female relatives of the Shen family, among the mighty group of women, as the eldest lady, she knelt at the forefront.
Although she didn’t know what happened, she saw her father who was forced to press on the ground in front of her, and she knew that everything was over.
“The emperor can’t do this to me, I—”
A pair of black boots appeared in Shen Qingrong’s vision.
The owner of this pair of boots undoubtedly has a pair of small feet, which are not the size that a man should have.
The sudden stop of her father’s voice made Shen Qingrong look up curiously, and then she screamed: “Shen Qingwei——”
