Hello Chang’an

"It's all because Gu'an failed to detect the evil deeds committed by Ashen in time. Under the blind protection of his mother, the son of General Chang was implicated. If the news reaches the ears of General Chang in Yangzhou, it may also affect Yangzhou. The battle situation—"

Mingluo said uneasily and guiltily: "Gu'an is the eldest daughter of Ming Dynasty, and it is her duty to discipline and restrain her younger brother. This time Ah Shen caused this disaster, and Gu'an is really to blame. Please punish me!"

The Holy Book Emperor looked at her.

The place where Mingluo was kneeling was exactly where Chang was kneeling during the day.

Mrs. Chang begged for a long time, repented for a long time, cried for a long time, and argued for a long time. In the end, she even said such nonsense as "My true intention is for the sake of the saint and the Ming family." Even her idiot son couldn't deceive her.

The Holy Emperor's face is still slightly calm.

"The Chang family and their son, one is becoming more and more absurd and bold in their actions, and the other is self-righteous. For their own selfish interests, they dare to use the methods of the back house to the court. They are stupid and don't know it... It seems that I was too tolerant of them in the past!"

Sensing the emperor's anger, Mingluo lowered his body even lower.

Soon, the emperor suppressed his exposed anger, and only the still tense solemn tone remained in his voice: "Even if it is a matter of lack of discipline and restraint, your father should be punished. No one can blame you." Come on, get up."

Mingluo only dared to answer "yes", stood up slowly, and stood aside.

She knew very well that her aunt should never act stupidly to express her anger. The apology she just made seemed to be to share the blame with the Chang family and her son, but in fact it was to draw a clear line between them.

"The matter has come to this, the Changsun family is pressing harder and harder, and there is no room for maneuver... so we can only wrong the husband of the Chang family." The Emperor of the Holy Book said slowly: "I heard that the husband of the Chang family has been admitted to Xuance. Military forward camp... This guy is a good guy, but Ashen is far worse than him."

There was a hint of regret in the emperor's voice: "But I have no choice. I really can't protect him."

Mingluo: "The saint is concerned about the stability of the court. This is not the fault of the saint."

"Whether it's right or wrong, I can only be a foolish king who betrays his loyal ministers this time."

There was introspection and regret in the emperor's words, but there was no hesitation or intolerance at all.

Mingluo has long been accustomed to this.

How her aunt would choose was already guessed when she heard the complete truth from her aunt's mouth. In other words, there is no need to guess at all.

The man of the Chang family who had a bright future was destined to be wronged to the end.

This is certainly very pitiful, but such pitiful people have been everywhere since ancient times.

The only strange thing is that in comparison, this poor man's weight is too low. In order to protect greater interests, those in power should be sacrificed.

As a victim of the imperial court, the Chang family man was not the first, nor would he be the last.

There was also a hint of helpless pity in Mingluo's eyes.

"As for General Chang..." Emperor Shengzhi said: "Although General Chang is loyal, the person he is loyal to is 'Axiao', not me. This has been true since the battle of Beidi twelve years ago when he disobeyed the holy order. I can see it clearly.”

She sighed softly and said, "Therefore, in order to ensure the stability of the war in Yangzhou, I have to keep this matter secret for the time being."

After saying this, Emperor Shengce sent his confidants in and ordered him to intercept all secret messages related to Chang Sui'an's case going to the south, and never let the matter in the capital reach Chang Kuo's ears.

"After General Chang returns to the capital in victory, I will personally explain to him that this battle is of great importance. I believe that since General Chang is a good general who cares about the people, he will understand my concealment at this time."

"I have also experienced the pain of losing a son..." The voice of the Holy Emperor was lowered, and he said to himself: "The people of the country come first. Many times I have no choice, let alone other people."

Mingluo didn't dare to answer, just stood there quietly.

Yes, how could my aunt, who had chosen to sacrifice her own flesh and blood, be so soft-hearted towards other people's children?

But aunt...it's not all for the people of the country, right?

After all, my aunt finally sat on this supreme throne.

As the beneficiary, how can the aunt ask General Chang, who is now so passive, to feel the same way as she who once took the initiative to promote everything?

This is somewhat unreasonable.

But a king does not need to be reasonable, but a minister can only choose to be considerate.

If you cannot understand, you are digging your own grave.

But regardless of whether he was considerate or not, after this estrangement, it was impossible for General Chang to gain the slightest trust from the saint.

The Cavalry General's Mansion in Xingningfang is destined to disappear in the near future.

As for the adopted daughter who lives in the general's mansion, it is supposed that there will be no good end, but...

Mingluo thought again of the divination that Master Tianjing had made before, which was really annoying, and the thoughts in the emperor's heart that he had never given up.

It was at this time that the Holy Emperor ordered his servant to pass on the Imperial Master of Tianjing.

When Tianjing Imperial Master arrived, Emperor Shengzhen told Mingluo: "Gu'an, please go to the side hall and take a look."

Chang family is still in the side hall.

Mingluo agreed and retreated.

Soon, there were also the confidants around the Emperor Shengzhu who exited together.

There are some words that a confidant can listen to, but there are some words that cannot be heard.

The Tianjing Imperial Master, whose beard and hair were all white, bowed and asked, "Is your Majesty's dragon body in good condition these days?"

"Thanks to the elixir refined by the imperial master, my illness has been cured."

"Then I wonder why the saint summoned the poor Taoist to come here at this time?"

"It's still that hexagram..." The Holy Book Emperor looked at the old Taoist's eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate all mysteries, "Is the bond between me and that child bad or good?"

Master Tianjing slowly shook his head: "I'm sorry for my incompetence, but I haven't been able to predict it yet."

The Holy Emperor looked at him: "Is it because he couldn't predict it, or is it because the master is unwilling to reveal the secret?"

Faced with the emperor's question, Tianjing Imperial Master was not at all panicked. He only said: "When I first saw the saint's birth, I could see that the saint had the appearance of an emperor. Since the saint is the destined king, he can just calm down and obey the will of heaven." yes."

"The king of destiny... also has a destiny. I often wonder what will happen at the end of the destiny."

As the Holy Emperor whispered, he looked at the three-legged Golden Crow Incense Burner with the bottle of soothing incense pills burning, and said in a trance: "Master, I know that my child may have returned."

Master Tianjing’s eyes trembled slightly.

"Your Majesty means that the female tower that day..."

"Yes." The Emperor of the Holy Book said: "It is precisely because I was reminded by the hexagram of the National Master that I made this guess. I have used the formation in the tower to test her, but I didn't see anything strange."

Master Tianjing's eyes were filled with confusion: "Then why does the saint still have such speculation?"

The Holy Book Emperor: "The formation may go wrong, and it's not impossible to do it manually."

Master Tianjing: "If they are really close relatives... there might be some connection between mother and daughter."

"What if she deliberately hides all the traces that can be sensed and doesn't want to recognize me?" There was a complex look of disappointment in the eyes of the Holy Book Emperor, "Maybe... I am really thinking too much."

Master Tianjing was thoughtful.

After a moment, the emperor's voice sounded again: "Therefore, I would like to ask the Imperial Master to pay more attention to that hexagram. In addition to the bond of good and bad luck between me and that girl, there are other things that I care about..."

"Yes." Imperial Master Tianjing responded: "I understand."

After Tianjing Imperial Master left, Emperor Shengzhen's eyes fell on the incense burner again.

All the palace servants who serve in the Manlu Palace know that the bottle of incense burner is special and needs to be treated with special care, without allowing any mistakes - it is an old thing from the East Palace of His Royal Highness.

Every time the saint looks at the incense burner, he must be thinking of His Royal Highness. That's exactly what happened at this moment.

The faint mist of incense lingering and floating above the incense burner was just like the unsettled guess in the heart of the Holy Emperor.

If it is really A Shang, if it is really unwilling to recognize her... No one else knows the reason, but she does.

And her Ah Shang has always valued feelings, especially her subordinates and comrades...

If it were Ashang, he would not be able to just watch the husband of the Chang family die unjustly.

But even if Ashang's soul is trapped in this body with nothing now, it has no power to shake the sky, and one must always consider the consequences of his actions.

So, if you are in a desperate situation, will you come to recognize her as your mother-in-law in order to save others?

Obviously, this will also be an opportunity to test, and it will be more usable than that formation.

Because her Ah Shang could suffer and die himself, but he hated to see the people around him suffer and die.

You are not afraid of yourself, but you are afraid of the people around you who care about you.

This had been clear to her since the child was very young.

She used this to do many things, from letting the child wear boy's clothes to everything after that...

Is she a mean mother?

Now, she is waiting for the only person qualified to answer this sentence to come back to her.

She needs Ashang, and so does Dasheng.

…

At the same moment, in the side hall, Mrs. Chang slowly opened her eyes and looked at the surrounding furnishings, feeling briefly sluggish and confused.

She regained consciousness quickly, and she remembered everything before she fell into coma.

She went to the palace today to confess everything to the saint. She was terrified, terrified and desperate. In addition, she had not had a good rest for many days, and finally she couldn't hold on and fainted.

Mrs. Chang's face was ashen, she sat up from the couch, looked at the back of the side, and said tentatively: "...Luo'er?"

"Mom is awake." Mingluo's voice was very calm and he did not look back at Chang.

Chang didn't care and didn't dare to investigate her attitude. He only asked uneasily: "Sage, she..."

Mingluo interrupted her indifferently: "The saint will arrange everything properly. Now that mother is awake, I will send her out of the palace."

There has never been a rule for foreigners to stay overnight in the palace, and at this juncture, there are many people watching. If there is a precedent for staying overnight, it will cause unnecessary speculation and trouble.

Chang could only stand up in a hurry and followed Mingluo out of the side hall.

With the palace lantern hanging high, Mrs. Chang looked towards the direction of the bedroom and asked hesitantly: "Should I go to say goodbye to the saint first... before leaving the palace?"

"No need, the saint has already given instructions. All we have to do is wait for my mother to wake up and then leave the palace and return home."

"That's fine..."

After leaving the Manlu Palace, Chang Shi looked back for the last time at the imperial palace, feeling infinite sadness and unwillingness in her heart.

This was probably her last chance to come here.

Due to the reputation of the Ming family, although no charges will be brought against her, after this incident, what awaits her...

Today, the saint promised that she would not anger the Chang family, but only if she took on and settled all the blame.

There are many choices for self-commitment. Should I take poison, Bai Ling, or commit suicide?

A sad smile appeared at the corner of Chang's mouth.

Now it was her turn to choose how to die for the concubines who once disappeared into Duke Ying's mansion, or the women who were not even concubines yet...

Chang looked at Mingluo who was walking in front.

She still remembered that the county lord's aunt was poisoned to death.

Who allowed her daughter to be lucky enough to be elected to the palace, fall in the eyes of a saint, and become the head of the county?

Luck is always limited. If a daughter is lucky, the aunt will be unlucky.

The county lord's aunt couldn't bear to see the blood directly, otherwise it would still be a bit troublesome, so she had someone give her a poison that would make people die slowly.

The incident went unnoticed.

But she sometimes wonders, did Mingluo suspect anything?

Chang's mind was a little distracted because he had lost everything, and he looked at Mingluo subconsciously.

Mingluo noticed her gaze, paused slightly, and said, "Although this matter has been arranged by the saint, mother cannot take it lightly. She must also pay attention to guard against accidents."

Mrs. Chang was startled for a moment, glanced at the maid who was following five steps behind, and then lowered her voice and asked: "The accident Luo'er mentioned refers to..."

Mingluo said as he walked: "My mother also said today that the disappearance of Feng Min must be the fault of the Chang family girl-"

"But since the saint is here, Feng Min will not be able to stir up any trouble..."

At Mingluo's signal, the maid's footsteps slowed down.

Mingluo then said slowly: "I'm afraid mother didn't understand what I said. The focus of this incident is not Feng Min, but the Chang family girl."

Chang's eyes changed slightly: "Chang Sui Ning?"

Mingluo: "If the saint comes forward, it is said that there will be no more accidents. But some people are born to be very ignorant, and they dare to die even if they have no chance of winning..."

Chang's expression changed.

That's right, that **** of the Chang family is indeed impossible to settle down, and she will definitely not give up...

Although her fate has been doomed, she still has to leave a way for the Chang family to survive, so she cannot completely abandon this case and lie down on the spot waiting to die.

Besides being unwilling, she also had hatred in her heart.

In the final analysis, if she goes back to this point, it is all because of Chang Sui Ning!

From the moment she injured Ashen, everything happened after that!

The more desperate a person is, knowing that the fate cannot be changed, the less likely a person will regret and reflect on himself, but will only hate others and blame others for all misfortunes -

Chang's resentment almost naturally turned into a murderous intention to drag the other person to die together.

But she still has some sense, and the saint gave a clear warning today, telling her not to act on her own initiative anymore...

Until next, Min Luo heard a sentence mentioned accidentally -

"Some people seem to be born with bad luck." Mingluo looked at the night ahead and said in a low voice: "It seems that the hexagram made by Master Tianjing is indeed correct."

Chang asked: "What hexagram?"

Mingluo paused for a moment before asking: "Mother, do you still remember that Master Tianjing once praised Chang Sui Ning for his extremely noble appearance?"

I know that everyone is anxious about this plot, and I have also received some comments that it is too delayed. However, this plot is not just a small case of brother being framed, but many main and branch plots are included in it. The forces that should be made clear must be made clear, and the forces that should be made clear must be made clear. The person who handled it needs to be dealt with, and more importantly, the map will be changed later, so the plot of the capital needs to be completed.

So I still have to write at my own pace.

Of course, if you only care about Sui'an's case and are not interested in other books, you can save it first and then judge it from the title (I will make an obvious title when the case is completed). You can skip directly to see the results.

Thank you for your hard work, everyone, good night~
