Chu Yunning looked at Gong Yin's slump and the fierceness hidden deep in his eyes, and was slightly frightened. Isn't this the hidden enemy?
According to the previous script, he had to endure the humiliation and kill her one day when he became famous. She would never allow this to happen.
"Second Young Master of the Palace..."
"He is young and ignorant. Don't worry about Chu Shang Gong." After all, Mrs. Gong lived for decades.
She was frightened by Chu Yunning's eyes and worried that the other party would be detrimental to Gong Yin.
The corner of Chu Yunning's mouth curled up: "Is Mrs. Gong's illness cured?"
"What are you talking about, Chu Shang Palace? My health has always been good." Mrs. Gong smiled coquettishly and blocked Gong Yin behind her. She had now seen that when a tree falls and the hozens scatter, she is afraid that these people will play dirty tricks.
Let the Prime Minister's Mansion walk around without food.
Gong Yin wanted to argue with Chu Yunning several times, but Mrs. Gong stopped her. Chu Yunning shrugged upon seeing this: "You two should pack up as soon as possible and salute. In two days, I will personally send you two to move to a new home and change to a new environment."
, it’s also good for the palace lady to recuperate.”
"Thank you very much, Chu Shang Palace."
As soon as Chu Yunning left, Mrs. Gong immediately pulled Gong Yin: "Yin'er, you shouldn't have come back. This bitch is not a good person. Your father and eldest sister are mortal enemies with her. You should leave the capital quickly.
If you keep the green hills, you won’t have to worry about running out of firewood.”
Gong Yin gritted his teeth; "If my father hadn't been so kind and careless, how could this bitch be so arrogant?"
Growing up, Gong Yin has never suffered such grievances!
He was not polite to anyone who met him. His father was the prime minister of the dynasty, and his eldest sister was the mother of a country. But all of this had changed since Chu Yunning entered the palace.
First, the eldest sister inexplicably lost the right to manage the harem, then she was deprived of her position as queen, and now she can't even keep her name.
"This bitch, sooner or later I will make her pay with blood!"
This hatred was engraved in his bones. Gong Yin took a deep breath: "Mother, I will leave the city when it gets dark. I won't be with you, so you have to take good care of yourself."
"Don't worry, I am a helpless woman, and she dares to kill me without fear of being stabbed in the spine. At most, she will suffer a little injustice," said Mrs. Gong.
In desperation, Mrs. Gong shouted on the street. She wanted to see if the imperial court could afford to lose face like this!
…
After Chu Yunning returned to the palace, she became more and more angry as she thought about it. She wanted to go directly to Emperor Mingwen to ask for an explanation, but she met General Chu on the way.
For some reason, Chu Yunning felt angry when she saw General Chu, and subconsciously turned around and left.
"Sister Ning!" General Chu called to her.
Chu Yunning turned around and grinned at the other party: "What a coincidence, my father also came to see the emperor."
"Sister Ning, my father is rarely in the capital, and I owe you a lot over the years. Your changes over the years are really impressive to my father." General Chu's words made Chu Yunning confused and even a little confused.
He didn't have any idea, so he could only laugh and listen, not daring to refute a word, and from time to time he would echo: "Father, what you said makes sense, okay, my daughter will remember it."
General Chu added: "Swords and swords have no eyes on the battlefield. You must be careful when you go and don't show off."
"Father, my daughter knows."
"Your mother regards you as your life. If you have any shortcomings, how can your father explain it to your mother?" General Chu was also worried. He really couldn't figure out why the emperor wanted to take Chu Yunning with him.
"My daughter will be cautious, stay at the rear, and never show off. After all, she only has one life, so she has to be careful."
General Chu smiled fondly when he heard this, and suddenly asked: "I saw you were so angry just now, why did you come to see the emperor?"
She didn't dare to tell the truth to General Chu, so she found another reason to excuse him. Fortunately, General Chu didn't ask any more questions.
After watching the people leave, Chu Yunning's anger was mostly gone. He hesitated whether to go in. Eunuch Mo happened to come out and saw her: "What a coincidence, the emperor was still thinking about Chu Shang Palace just now. Please go in quickly."
.”
"Um."
Chu Yunning stepped into the inner hall and caught a glimpse of Emperor Mingwen wearing a crescent-white robe. After changing out of the dragon robe, his whole person had a gentler and more elegant temperament. When he saw her, he raised his eyes and said, "You're back so soon?
"
"Your Majesty, Madam Gong has confessed, but I did not pursue the case. Instead, I planned to let Madam Gong and her family move out of the current Prime Minister's Mansion. I also thought about Madam Gong. After all, I miss people when I see things." Chu Yunning said.
Emperor Mingwen was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise: "Mrs. Gong is not making trouble?"
After so many years of accumulation, the Prime Minister's Mansion is low-key and luxurious inside and out. The mansion is also the largest in the capital. It is strange that he is willing to move.
Chu Yunning narrowed her eyes and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Madam Gong left the Prime Minister's Mansion willingly, and I did not force her. In addition, Madam Gong also took the initiative to hand over five boxes of gold bars, which I have already exchanged for silver notes.
"
"You are so sincere." Emperor Mingwen was a little dumbfounded. He had to report this kind of thing truthfully, but he did not regard himself as an outsider.
Seeing that the other party trusted him so much, Emperor Mingwen didn't know whether he should be happy or not.
Chu Yunning shrugged and smiled. If she noticed that Emperor Mingwen had different intentions, there was no point in hiding it. She might as well say it openly.
"So Chu Shang Palace is here now looking for a new house?" Emperor Mingwen hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether there was a suitable empty house in the capital.
Chu Yunning shook her head: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. I am willing to donate a house to Madam Gong and her family. The location and environment are good, and it is also suitable for Madam Gong to rest."
"Have you made all the arrangements?" Emperor Mingwen twitched his lips slightly and said angrily: "Since everything has been arranged, why do you come to ask me?"
"Everything has to go through a process, right?" Chu Yunning touched the tip of her nose, not feeling guilty at all. She glanced at Emperor Mingwen's face, changed the topic and continued: "The Prime Minister's Mansion has been in disrepair for a long time, and I plan to give it to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Renovate and renovate it, and when the house is vacant, it will be convenient for the emperor to give it to others."
After hearing this, Emperor Mingwen finally suppressed his temper. Looking at the smile on the other person's face, his heart ached for some reason.
The old fox has made a lot of money over the years, and many civil and military officials bribed him, so he must have accumulated a lot of wealth over the years.
Once you find the secret passage to the Prime Minister's Mansion, it will definitely be worth a fortune.
"Your Majesty, if I find the prime minister's small treasury, what about you and me?" Chu Yunning said.
With such a large amount of money, Chu Yunning didn't want to make it too conspicuous, so as not to arouse resentment. As expected, Emperor Mingwen's face improved a lot.
"That's all, it's up to you. The prerequisite is that Madam Palace is not allowed to cause trouble, otherwise I won't be able to help you."
"Okay, your Majesty, don't worry."
After Chu Yunning got a satisfactory answer, she smiled and left the government hall with her arms folded. As soon as she went out, she heard coughing coming from inside. She must have been very angry.
"Your Majesty, do you need to ask an imperial doctor to take a look?" Eunuch Mo advised.
"No need."
The sound gradually faded away. Chu Yunning raised his head and looked at the sky. It was slightly dark. It was a good time to close the net.
midnight
A group of guards made a surprise inspection and found Gong Yin's carriage. Not only did it contain a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry, but also several letters.
"Are you crazy? You don't even look at who I am!" Gong Yin struggled and watched helplessly as the guards took away his package.
Chu Yunning lifted the curtain and walked towards Gong Yin slowly. Under the moonlight, there was a faint smile on her face, but in Gong Yin's eyes, she looked like an evil spirit crawling from hell, fierce.
It's fatal.
"Chu Shanggong?" Gong Yin was very surprised to see Chu Yunning.
"Where are you going, Mr. Gong, in the middle of the night?" Chu Yunning gave a look and asked the guards to search Gong Yin's body. After confirming that there was no murder weapon, he handcuffed the man behind his back.
Gong Yin struggled unconvinced: "What are you doing? I haven't made any mistakes. Why should you restrain me? Chu Shang Gong, do you think that since my father is gone, you can do whatever you want?"
"No." Chu Yunning patted Gong Yin on the shoulder: "Today we just received a secret report that there would be assassins and spies, so we conducted a routine inspection, but unfortunately we found the head of the second son of Gong, and the head of the prime minister's seventh son.
You haven't even passed it, right? The Second Master Gong is so anxious to leave the city with his luggage, I have to make me doubt you."
"You!" Gong Yin's head spun rapidly, trying to find another reason.
Chu Yunning was not in a hurry and waited silently, so Gong Yin began to pretend to be crazy: "I plan to leave the capital and join my father's former subordinates..."
"Which subordinate?"
"Just an idler."
"Since you are a subordinate, you should know what position you were in. If you tell me, I will definitely find out. Mr. Gong, I am not bullying you. The situation is really tense and there is no room for any mistakes. If you say today
If I don't come up with a reason, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave." Chu Yunning patiently flipped her hair on her temples, with a faint smile on her lips, which made Gong Yin feel cold in her heart.
Gong Yin choked suddenly. Although he had never fought against Chu Yunning, his father and eldest sister both fell into the hands of this woman, so he did not dare to underestimate him.
"Chu Shanggong, I just went out to relax, how could I be involved in collusion with foreign countries? What's more, I am just one person, how can I accomplish anything big? Are you worrying too much?" Gong Yin's attitude quickly changed.
"This is not okay, I also act according to the rules..."
Seeing that she had been so aggressive and refused to let him go, Gong Yin couldn't help but ask: "Chu Shang Palace is in charge of the harem, when did it start caring about guarding the city gate?"
Chu Yunning explained: "This matter involves the harem. I came over to investigate, but I happened to meet the second son of the harem."
Gong Yin had no way of verifying this reason. He could only tell what the other party said. Gong Yin gritted his teeth and said, "Then Chu Shang Palace can't keep me in check..."
"Young Master Gong Er, be careful. I have given you a chance to explain. You can't explain it yourself. You must know that the traitor Prince Huai has not been caught yet. Prince Huai and the Prime Minister are close friends. How can I be sure about Gong Er?"
Didn’t the young master go to Prince Huai?”
Chu Yunning's voice was loud and everyone present could hear it clearly. This was enough reason to detain Gong Yin.
"You don't leave during the day, but you leave in the middle of the night, and you leave in such a hurry. Second Young Master Gong, are you looking for Prince Huai?"
Gong Yin's face turned blue with anger: "Chu Shanggong, don't talk nonsense. How could I be related to the rebel party? That's all. I just won't leave the city gate. Please let me go!"
Chu Yunning raised her hand and asked the guards to let Gong Yin go: "I can let you go, but if you dare to leave the city quietly, the court will have no choice but to accuse the entire Gong family."
"You!" Gong Yin's forehead pulsed with veins, but he still swallowed the words when he reached his lips, and then asked: "Those are my private properties, does Chu Shang Palace intend to embezzle them?"
There was a hundred thousand taels of silver in the package. Chu Yunning did not covet it and asked the guard to return it to Gong Yin. Gong Yin took it and checked it carefully. After making sure that there was nothing missing, his expression softened.
Mrs. Gong, who came after getting the news after a while, got off the carriage and looked Gong Yin up and down: "Are you okay?"
"Don't worry, mother, I'm fine."
Mrs. Gong's hanging heart slowly fell to the ground, and she turned to look at Chu Yunning. She held it in her heart and endured it again and again.
"Mrs. Palace, please be careful what you say. There are so many talkative people here. If the Second Young Master Gong gets a reputation as being unfilial, how will he be able to pursue an official career in the future?" Chu Yunning smiled faintly, turned around and got into the carriage, lifting the curtain:
"Mrs. Palace, the new house is ready and can be moved in at dawn."
Madam Gong originally planned to wait until Gong Yin left the capital, so that she would make Chu Yunning look bad and let everyone know how the court forced the widow to death.
But now, Mrs. Gong has been pinched by the neck again. She has a weakness, and she can only let Chu Yunning control her.
Everyone is as clear as a mirror, what does it mean to move away, those properties will be found by Chu Yunning sooner or later.
She was really unwilling to give it to her enemy!
As if he had read through Madam Gong's thoughts, Chu Yunning said: "Madam Gong, it's dry and dry at night. If you accidentally catch a fire, it won't be surprising that one or two people will be burned to death. You should be more careful."
"You!" Madam Gong's face was hot. She stared at Chu Yunning as she got into the carriage and left. Xu was so angry that her head felt dizzy. Upon seeing this, Gong Yin immediately supported Madam Gong and shouted nervously: "Mother
, how are you?"
"What a sin. How did you provoke this evil star? The Gong family has been suffering from bad luck for eight lifetimes." Mrs. Gong cried and said, "She is trying to force us to death."
Gong Yin shook his head: "I don't think so. As long as we don't threaten her, she won't necessarily target us again. In a few days, the emperor will go on a personal expedition, and the civil and military officials will help us to some extent for the sake of our father. Anyway,
We can’t always let her have the final say!”
"It's useless. This woman's heart is made of iron. She will never give up until she is tortured to death. Your eldest sister is no longer the queen, so isn't she also dead?" Madam Gong said.
Gong Yin suddenly thought of the second sister: "Then let's write a letter to the second sister. I heard that the second sister entered the palace and has a good relationship with Chushan Palace."
"She?" Mrs. Gong was half-convinced and had no expectations anymore. She could only try to write a letter to Gong Yuan to plead with her, so that Chu Yun Ning could give the Gong family a way to survive.
