The Heart of Jinlou (6)
"I still heard that this woman is the deceased wife of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?" The smile in the emperor's words faded: "The deceased wife of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue became the regent overnight. No matter how you listen, it is not a glorious thing."
Pei Xiyan's eyebrows jumped slightly, and his smile was also restrained, and his voice was solemn: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never harm my court's face. I will handle the matters of my princess well."
"I don't know what the Regent wants to deal with it," the emperor sneered and threw a stack of memorials in front of Pei Xiyan: "The son of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue sent twenty memorials yesterday. You used your power to suppress others. What should you do?"
Situ Quan knew that the emperor had been taboo about Pei Xiyan for a long time. Su Rao's affairs were just to give the emperor a chance to take advantage of the situation.
Everything that happened today is targeted.
Since he could see it, Pei Xiyan could not see it, but Situ Quan didn't know what he planned to deal with it.
Unlike Pei Xiyan and Situ Quan's calmness, the civil and military officials behind them have all knelt down.
"Have your majesty calm down!"
"Your Majesty forgive me!"
The emperor's eyes were even more chilling.
Pei Xiyan just bent down calmly and picked up the stack of memorials.
He looked at the words "Su, the murderer who was given the death penalty" that was repeatedly mentioned above, and his expression was as usual: "Prince Tao killed his ministers in front and insulted his ministers in the future. He would sacrifice the sword of the late emperor's Shangfang and kill him with his own hands."
Public opinion was in an uproar.
The emperor's face was hard to see and unrestrained: "Is this the regent's reply to me?"
Pei Xiyan bowed his head, his tone was respectful, but the essence of the words was not allowed at all: "Your Majesty forgive me, I am not well, so I will leave first."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked out without waiting for the emperor to respond.
All the ministers were worried.
They remembered that when the emperor had just ascended the throne, the seventeen-year-old regent was now so imposing.
However, over the years, Pei Xiyan has become more and more restrained, so that they and even the emperor themselves have forgotten what kind of thunderous means did the Regent back then?
But Su Rao just woke up and heard the system say: [Black value: 1%]
Although it was only 1%, Su Rao was still very curious. So she went out for a morning court and why did the blackening value increase?
But soon, her questions were answered.
At the door, a maid rushed in with a embarrassed look on her face and said to Su Rao: "Madam, Miss Wang must see you. She said she couldn't see you today, so she hit a pillar at the door of the Regent's Mansion and died."
Su Rao didn't care about Wang Manxue's threat, but she really wanted to know what happened today. Wang Manxue came here at the moment, and the system's prompt sound just now was definitely a boost from the Wang family.
Su Rao just thought for a moment and said, "Since that's the case, I'll just meet her."
Wang Manxue waited in the front hall for a while before Su Rao arrived late.
Su Rao wore a gauze dress with gold and vermilion today. The red color made her skin look like cream, like a fairy in a story book.
A hint of disgust flashed through Wang Manxue's eyes.
The Regent openly challenged the emperor in the court for her sake, but this woman had no idea how to write the word "constraint". She was dressed so silly that everyone wished that the Regent had a bright eye for her.
But clearly, this woman is just a slut who cheers her father for.
When Wang Manxue looked at Su Rao, Su Rao was also looking at her.
I have to say that Wang Manxue is worthy of the title of No. 1 Beauty in Beijing, and she is indeed outstanding in appearance.
However, the servants of the Regent's Mansion were all unconscionable and did not know how to be polite. At this time, her hair was slightly messy and her face was still sweating. She fainted slightly and her exquisite makeup was very embarrassed.
Su Rao took the lead and did not comment, but said, "I wonder what is the important thing about Miss Wang coming to see this princess today?"
Su Rao's tone was not polite, with a bit of laziness and a coldness of watching the fire from the other side of the river.
"I'm here to find you today, I want you..."
Wang Manxue finally suppressed her embarrassment and spoke, but halfway through her words, she was interrupted by Su Rao.
Su Rao smiled sweetly, but her words were not very pleasant: "Miss Wang, I am the concubine whom the Regent Ming Matchmaker at least. Don't you need to salute you in front of me?"
Wang Manxue's face turned pale, but she had to ask others for help but couldn't delay it. She swallowed her anger and saluted Su Rao: "See the Regent Princess."
Su Rao nodded with satisfaction, picked up a piece of osmanthus cake and put it in her mouth, and said, "No gift, where did you just say it, let's continue."
Wang Manxue gritted his teeth and said, "Please ask the Regent Princess to plead with the Regent for me and let my brother go."
Su Rao frowned: "I wonder what your brother is doing?"
Wang Manxue's eyebrows and eyes moved slightly, bit her teeth, and said in a difficult manner when she spoke: "My brother got up like His Majesty because of his father's affairs. Perhaps because of the inconspicuous words, he angered the Regent."
Su Rao smiled knowingly: "You want me to plead for your brother? But when you asked me to bury me for my life, did you ever think of letting me go?"
Perhaps it was because of his viciousness that was exposed in public, Wang Manxue's face flashed with embarrassment, and he argued with difficulty: "I did not do this wrong. Since you bought it from our Wang family for money, no matter what you want, it will be our freedom."
Su Rao nodded repeatedly when she heard this: "You are right. If the throne of the regent is of high authority, what is he going to do is his freedom."
Wang Manxue's face turned pale. Thinking of her brother's danger, she still apologized: "The burial of death is indeed because our Wang family is sorry for you... I'm sorry!"
Su Rao then put down the pastry in her hand: "Since you apologize so, I can promise you. But I want 500 acres of fertile land in the suburbs of Wang's family."
The Wang family has thousands of acres of fertile land in the suburbs of Beijing, and the family is in a fair and healthy way.
Wang Manxue didn't expect that his father, the timid concubine, would become a perfect concubine overnight, with her face turned pale and pale, and she still said hoarsely: "I promise you."
Su Rao stood up and went to the residence of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
When she and Wang Manxue arrived, Pei Xiyan sat in the main seat, looking at Wang Zitao kneeling in front of him with cold eyes.
In his hand was the famous Shangfang sword. At this moment, the sword had been unsheathed and placed on the table, emitting a cold and cold light.
Su Rao heard the voice of Prince Tao begging for mercy: "Regent, this memorial was written by Manxue forcing me to write. You believe in the grass-roots!"
Su Rao looked at Wang Manxue, who had been petrified for a moment, and stepped into the house in the latter's guilty eyes.
