[Twelve] Pitiful

Jiang Lian looked a little anxious. However, although Jiang Nu was still calm on her face, a strong sense of anxiety emerged from her heart. After a while, the dark clouds that were about to rush the city drizzled, and the thin drizzle fell down slowly.

Instead of waiting for the summons of Emperor Wei, they waited for the King Huai who came from outside the palace.

Before the two sides had any negotiations, Cui Qian walked out of the inner hall at the right time, walked to them, and said with a smile: "Let the Regent and the Lady wait for a long time... Your Majesty has been waiting in the hall for a long time. Please follow the old slave into the hall!"

At this moment, Jiang Chengjia suddenly realized something was wrong. Cui Qian came out just right, and the time was calculated so accurately, it must be his instructions.

But why did Emperor Wei leave them alone? He just waited until Ning Zheng arrived and asked Cui Qian to invite them into the hall? If he didn't want Ning Nankun to take over the Su Ren case, he should immediately entrust her to enter, ask about everything that happened in Yunsuque, and forcibly convicted Ning Nankun.

Could it be that Emperor Wei didn’t want to deal with Ning Nankun so quickly?

Jiang Chengjia was suddenly frightened and felt that she was very likely to have guessed the wrong thoughts of Emperor Wei. She thought secretly: I am afraid that entering the palace today will not be as smooth as I imagined.

King Huai had a gloomy face, and took them one step ahead, and walked into the hall after Cui Qian. He was very fast and aggressive, and looked very angry.

Jiang's calf stiffened and his expression became worse and worse. She held Jiang Chengjia beside her, and her palms were particularly wet and cold. Jiang Chengjia knew that she had noticed the strangeness, so she sank hard, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, and whispered in Jiang's ear: "Madam Cheng, you will enter the hall later. You stand aside and don't say much, it's up to me to say everything. This double act is probably unstoppable."

Jiang frowned and asked in a low voice: "You alone, can you?"

Jiang Chengjia responded depressedly, but he was very nervous.

The three of them came to the hall. In the book pavilion surrounded by agarwood, there were wisps of cigarettes rising in the copper-golded Boshan furnace with the green dragon and vermilion bird picture. On both sides of the pavilion, purple wood was carved and broken jade was decorated. In the center was the emperor's table for handling official affairs, soft dragon pattern black gold mats were placed aside, and the books and memorials were neatly arranged into two piles, and the tables were cleaned very clean.

Everyone looked inside and saw a young man leaning against the short couch beside the desk table, with a slender figure and a faint gauze tent, unable to see his appearance.

Cui Qian walked in front of everyone, bowed to the gauze tent, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the two ladies and the Regent have been brought here."

Hearing this, the figure in the gauze tent moved his body. A slender and slender finger stretched out from the gauze tent, slowly lifting the gauze, and finally revealing its true appearance.

Jiang Chengjia hasn't seen this person for a long time. When they met again, they secretly looked at him with his light, only to feel that the young emperor's figure is a bit thinner than two years ago.

The emperor covered his lips and coughed a few times, as if he was trying to support his spirits, and said in a weak tone: "I have become more and more uncomfortable recently. I have been waiting for the emperor and all the ladies for a long time."

Jiang Chengjia stood behind without saying a word, carefully watching the situation in front of him.

Ning Zheng was already anxious and stepped forward: "Your Majesty. I don't know if there has been any place I offended you recently... I am so frightened."

The old fox first made a humble attitude and polite to Emperor Wei. At the same time, he secretly mocked the young man on the bed in his words, holding his bottomless black eyes, and slowly oozing out his anger.

Emperor Wei coughed several times, his breathing was extremely heavy, and there seemed to be a foreign object stuck in his chest, accompanied by a snoring sound. After gasping for a long time, he barely swallowed his Adam's apple and said in a hoarse voice: "What are you talking about by Uncle Emperor? I'm a little overwhelmed?"

Ning Zheng snorted coldly, calmed his voice and said lightly: "Your Majesty has the heart to deal with government affairs just now, so he doesn't know the seriousness of this matter. Jiang Lian, the wife of Chengge Cliff, is so brave. For a trivial matter, he dared to force my son to escort him to the Tingwei Mansion in broad daylight. Does your Majesty feel that a woman who is so obscene and despised the royal family should be punished immediately?"

He came up and rushed straight to Mrs. Cheng, instead ignoring Jiang Chengjia, the initiator. This made her frown and think secretly in her heart.

Emperor Wei raised his eyebrows and looked pale. He looked at the group of people below. Uncle thoughts flashed in his eyes: "Uncle, don't be anxious. What happened in Yunsuque? The emperor has ordered someone to come to the palace to report to me. I call you here at this moment to find out the truth."

Immediately, he threw a cold look at Mrs. Jiang, and said in a faint tone: "Mother-in-law, Yunsuque, was originally the queen's case, but it was a royal secret matter and should not be managed by me. But you insisted on escorting the Marquis of Changshan to the Tingwei Mansion, and ordered the guards of the Chengfu to report to Dou Tingwei that this matter affected the major case of the state and magnified the situation. Do you know... If you don't find out the truth, you will randomly contempt the descendants of the royal family, which is a serious crime?"

Emperor Wei increased the word "mother-in-law" and the heavy power of the king came over, which made Jiang Lian's face change slightly. He immediately knelt down and bowed, and his heart was shocked: "Your Majesty, I have no intention of disturbing you, but what Changshan Hou did is shameless. Moreover, there are other articles to follow, which are very likely to be related to the major case. Therefore, I dare not let go of clues easily, so I ordered someone to force the Changshan Hou and send it to the Tingwei Mansion and hand it over to Lord Dou for the disposal."

She argued step by step, and her steps in her heart were not chaotic. When Jiang Chengjia heard this, she slightly relieved her current tension.

Emperor Wei narrowed his eyes, looked absent-mindedly at the smoke coming out of the incense burner, and asked casually: "I don't know... what is the big case my mother-in-law said?"

Mrs. Cheng was about to answer when she heard Jiang Chengjia sobbing faintly on the side. The sound was not loud, but it was extremely obvious in this extremely quiet palace.

Everyone was stunned and looked at the girl, with different expressions on her face and were full of wonderful expressions.

Everyone in the bookkeeper heard the crying sound. Emperor Wei could not pretend to be inaudible, so he frowned and looked at Jiang Nu, and said coldly: "Mr. Chengping, have you been a little out of character in front of me?"

Jiang Chengjia, standing at the steps, tried hard to restrain her tears, but she couldn't stop her tears, crying so hard that she could not control herself. The girl was so beautiful that she cried so hard that she was heartbreaking. Her eyes were filled with autumn water, and her crystal tears were filled with tears, which made the people in the hall feel ashamed and felt as if they were crying this girl.

Even Ning Zheng couldn't help but feel shocked, and was very uncomfortable being involved by this girl.

Jiang Chengjia sobbed in a low voice. When she heard the question from Emperor Wei, she knelt down pitifully, her voice trembled, and she said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty... I am guilty of my ritual in front of the palace. I deserve to die. Please punish you."

Her crying voice made people feel heartbroken. Emperor Wei's face was deep and he slowly slowed down and said: "My County Lord Chengping said this so that I felt ashamed? You were wronged today. How could I punish you at will before finding out the truth?"

Jiang Chengjia said nothing, kept kneeling and manners, and lowered her head and cried quietly.

The hall was extremely quiet, so quiet that everyone's breathing could be heard clearly. Jiang Chengjia cried continuously, sad and heartbreaking.

After a while, the Emperor of Wei said helplessly: "County Lord. If you continue to cry, I am afraid that this day will pass."

Jiang Chengjia then took a breath and thrust, "Your Majesty, I just feel that Mrs. Cheng has come forward for me, but has been misunderstood by the Regent, which really makes me feel ashamed."

"Although Mrs. Cheng is standing up for you, she has done a little too much. In broad daylight, she forcibly sent a lord to the Tingwei Mansion. Where did she place Zongzheng Mansion? What kind of face does the royal family have?" Emperor Wei did not listen to her complaints. He said that Mrs. Cheng broke the rules and disrespect the royal family.

Ning Zheng stood aside, his eyes pinning the girl in front of him, and his heart was filled with resentment.

Jiang Chengjia lowered his head and sobbed: "Your Majesty, all this is my fault... Don't blame Mrs. Cheng! I am willing to calm down and no longer pursue what Changshan Hou did."

Emperor Wei immediately showed a surprised expression, and the air suddenly became extremely quiet.

At this time, Ning Zheng sneered: "Mr. Chengping wants to end this matter like this, probably not? If it is true as you wish, then where is the authority of the royal family? In the future, will everyone be able to ignore the court's principles?"

Jiang Chengjia could hardly argue. Qiu Shui's beautiful eyes were tearful and looked at Ning Zheng weakly and pitifully. Qiqi Ai Ai said, "Father... it was the big mistake of his daughter-in-law. His daughter-in-law shouldn't have gone to Yunsuque's banquet today, causing so many troubles."

Ning Zheng saw that she was crying heartbroken, and snorted coldly with a blue face: "The county lord is really self-aware."

Jiang Chengjia knelt on the ground and stopped talking again. Mrs. Cheng stood without saying a word, as if everything was decided by the young emperor in the hall. Emperor Wei stared at the scene in the pavilion, with sharp black eyes, and glanced back and forth on everyone's faces over and over again, and finally fell on the girl kneeling on the steps and crying softly. She couldn't guess what the woman was planning for for a while, so she said coldly: "Since the county lord Chengping takes responsibility for his own crime, then I..."

Just as he was about to punish him, a noise suddenly came from outside the hall, which made him pause his words.

The little eunuch guarding the gate of the hall rolled and crawled into the book pavilion, shouting in anger: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

He crossed the threshold in panic, and suddenly thrust in front of everyone, with a pale face. Cui Qian bowed to serve the emperor, and saw the little eunuch coming in without any rules, he immediately shouted: "What's the matter that makes you so irritable? So unruly? You're so rude? What should you be guilty of losing your manners in front of His Majesty?"
