Chapter 279 The emperor is angry and helps to cover it up
Emperor Jing looked at the expression on Xiao Jingze's face, paused, and continued.
"The emperor's uncle came to the palace today, could it be because of this matter?
In recent years, the emperor's uncle has not even had a concubine to serve him, which really worries me.
If the emperor's uncle was really interested in Su Jinxiu, he would not be able to release her mother.
After all, the emperor's uncle is serving people.
Don't leave any stain behind, let's talk about it.
Su Jinxiu was also the daughter of Marquis Zhenyuan for sixteen years.
If this good thing can be achieved, the relationship between the emperor's uncle and the Hou Mansion will be closer.
Mr. Hou, what do you think?"
Lin Yuan was shocked, knowing that Emperor Jing was testing his intentions.
If the regent's status is rumored to be related to the Marquis Mansion.
The Hou Mansion was afraid that the emperor would be suspicious of him, and Emperor Jing was just as suspicious and seriously ill as Emperor Ru was back then.
"The king is indeed interested in this case and will go to observe it.
As for Su Jinxiu, I won't bother the emperor.
I heard that this morning another official came to express his death remonstrance.
Do you want the emperor to take back the title given to Concubine Xian?"
Concubine Xian is Xu Rourou. In just a few months, she was promoted from beauty to noble concubine.
This kind of honor and favor is unique to the harem.
It would be fine if the harem only favors him. I heard that the emperor intends to recall the Xu family to the court.
Such an action would undoubtedly trample the laws of the Sheng Dynasty to the ground.
The original case of embezzlement of ink and money was picked up heavily and put down gently.
The ministers in the DPRK and the common people all complained.
If the Xu family is really allowed to return to the court, who knows what kind of waves will be caused by then.
Emperor Jing did not expect that what happened this morning would reach Xiao Jingze's ears so quickly.
The smile on his face disappeared without a trace.
"I can't decide the affairs of the front hall, is it possible that the favored people in the harem also need to ask for advice?
Seeing the Emperor's uncle acting like this, I agree with what the Marquis said.
Uncle Emperor, you really don’t have a sweetheart.
Otherwise, you won’t understand me.
Okay, I'm a little tired.
The case was handed over to Mr. Hou and Mr. Mu for trial.
Uncle Huang can go if he wants to, and no one dares to stop him anyway.
I'm tired, uncle Huang and Lord Marquis, please retreat first!"
After the two left, Emperor Jing could no longer hide the anger on his face.
He threw the memorial, pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the table to the floor.
"What a good Xiao Jingze, he doesn't take me seriously at all.
Who doesn't know that those officials are under his orders? Even if he is not here, they are still staring at me.
What I, the emperor, have done is really a coward.
I can’t even take charge of the affairs of the harem..."
Mu Qingyu knelt on the ground and let the memorial's pen and ink hit him all over his body.
After a while, wait for Emperor Jing to finish venting.
He took a breath, as if he had just discovered Mu Qingyu.
"Muda is still here? Get up!"
Just now, I made you laugh.
You said, compared to me.
Is the emperor's uncle more suitable to be the emperor?
Otherwise, will I give up the throne to him?"
Mu Qingyu knelt on the ground and buried her head very low.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Everyone in the world knows that your Majesty is the true Dragon Emperor.
We, of course, will follow the emperor to the death."
Seeing Mu Qingyu's appearance, Emperor Jing nodded with satisfaction.
"Of course I know that Mr. Mu is loyal to me.
Therefore, this case involving royal secrets was handed over to the Muda people for trial.
If this case is solved, the Mu people will be able to stand firm in the DPRK.
Promotion in the future is just around the corner.
Mr. Mu, please don’t disappoint me.”
Mr. Mu nodded: "Thank you for your love, Your Majesty. I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty."
He seemed to have thought of something and changed the subject.
"However, the prince personally went to the palace for this case.
Could it be that you are really interested in Su Jinxiu?"
Emperor Jing looked unconcerned and chuckled.
"You can tell, the emperor definitely doesn't mean it."
Mu Qingyu felt a little calmer after hearing Emperor Jing's words.
He couldn't understand Xiao Jingze's thoughts, knowing that Su Jinxiu was a weak point.
But he didn't cover it up at all, just putting it under Emperor Jing's eyes.
What if Emperor Jing becomes suspicious? What should Su Jinxiu do?
He can help fool him once or twice, but it will definitely not work after a long time...
At this moment, Xiao Jingze and Lin Yuan had already left the palace.
Along the way, neither of them spoke.
Seeing Xiao Jingze about to mount his horse and leave, Lin Yuan couldn't help but step forward.
"My lord, I just heard the emperor mention the matter between you and Jinxiu.
I want to ask more, are you serious about Jinxiu?
If you are serious, you can be sure.
Can you protect the emperor in front of him?
If you are not sure, I advise you to stay away from Jinxiu.
Otherwise, the emperor will definitely vent his anger on you on Jinxiu.
With her current status, she cannot bear this kind of trouble."
Even if he knew that Jinxiu was not his biological daughter, she was still his father for sixteen years.
He couldn't do it either and watched Jinxiu fall into the fire pit.
When he was at the border, he could tell that Xiao Jingze was different from Jin Xiu.
If someone else had such a noble status and could have a good relationship with Jinxiu, he would naturally be happy.
But this person is Xiao Jingze, even though he is nobler than one person and above ten thousand people.
But this dignity is like the moon in the mirror or the flowers in the water, but it is in vain.
I don't know when I will lose my life.
Xiao Jingze looked at Lin Yuan coldly, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips.
"In what capacity does the Marquis give such a warning?
If it is really good for her, she should take good care of the people in the back house.
Let them stop causing trouble..."
After saying that, Xiao Jingze jumped on his horse and drove away.
Lin Yuan stood at the palace gate, his brows furrowed tightly.
What do Xiao Jingze's words mean? Could it be that someone from the Hou family did what happened to Jinxiu's mother?
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan didn't stay much longer.
He got on the carriage and returned to the Marquis Mansion.
As soon as he entered the Hou Mansion, he went straight to Zhou Yixiu's room.
Zhou Yixiu was reading a book, and when he heard the noise, he looked up.
But he didn't get up and smiled sarcastically.
"What kind of wind is blowing today? Did it bring the Marquis here?"
What? Conscience discovered?"
It was like this again, every time he came to see Zhou Yixiu.
Zhou Yixiu is always like this, full of yin and yang.
No matter outside, everyone praises Zhou Yixiu for her gentleness and kindness.
Only he knows, when he is at home.
What does Zhou Yixiu look like? Therefore, he cannot talk to Zhou Yixiu well.
"Let me ask you, Li Zhaodi, was it you who put you in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment?
Why? Just because she is Jinxiu’s biological mother?
You are also a mother, how can you be so vicious?"
When Zhou Yixiu heard this, she couldn't bear it anymore.
He stood up and threw the book hard.
"Yes, I am a vicious person.
Everyone else is better than me. Li Zhaodi is Su Jinxiu’s biological mother.
I was jealous of her and kept my Zhao Zhao by my side for sixteen years.
What about me? I can only look at Su Jinxiu’s face every day and feel miserable.
Lin Yuan, do you have a conscience?
I have been married to you for so many years, and I have always been thinking about you.
What about you? Have you ever missed me half way?
If you hadn't treated me like this, what would I be like now?"
