Leisure

The right words are right, and everything that needs to be prepared is also prepared. On this day, the capital is almost completely enveloped by a festive atmosphere. Of course, this celebration is not complete. Worrying, there is another big drama about to be staged, which is just around the corner under this festive appearance.Standing on the tower, Bai Henggui looked at the bustle not far away and asked the little fat man, "Wanzi, do you think it's the grandeur of my ascension to the throne, or the grandeur of Liu Ran's marriage?"

The little fat man shrank his body: "The emperor was only a little older when he came to the throne, and the servants were not much older than the emperor, so how can I remember what happened at that time." The little emperor rubbed his nose: "This uncle of mine, he has not been arrogant for a long time. gone."

Later, the bright red sedan chair was carried out from Yuan's house and went all the way to Liu's house. Pedestrians were stopped on both sides of the road and whispered about the fate of this Miss Yuan's family.Suddenly a child got out of the crowd and went straight under the sedan chair. The child's mother hurriedly came out to pull him away.Liu Ran came back immediately, and lashed the bearer's hand with a whip: "Trash, this sedan chair only weighs so much, it can't be lifted well!"

The bearer was in pain, shrank his hands, and directly put the sedan chair on the ground. The front of the sedan chair landed on the ground. The bride in the sedan chair screamed and was thrown out. It was difficult to stop the strength of her body at once, and she rolled directly into the crowd. went.The crowd immediately became chaotic, and the subordinates rushed to help the bride. When the crowd was pushed away, there was only a set of fiery red dresses left on the ground, and there was no bride there.Liu Ran got off the horse with wide-eyed eyes, kicked the pile of clothes, and slapped the whip on the ground, "Bastard!!!"

After a while, the guests waiting at the Liu family saw the eldest young master of the Liu family rushing towards the door, and the old servant of the Liu family greeted him with a flattering face: "Master, why are you back, where is the bride?" Ran pushed away the old servant in front of him and stepped into the lobby, grabbed Yuan Shan's collar and lifted Yuan Shan up from his seat.The two looked at each other, and Yuan Shan recovered from his astonishment: "Master, what happened?"

The onlookers hurriedly pulled the two away, and Liu Ran shook off the person who was pulling him away: "Your daughter escaped marriage!" He stretched out his index finger and poked Yuan Shan's nose.After all, Yuan Ming couldn't bear it, and moved forward to move Liu Ran's finger away: "Rui'er won't do such a thing!" Consciously lowered his head, his face turned red and white.Liu Ran originally had a bullying temperament, and because he was young, he always admired the kind of powerful people inexplicably. Seeing Yuan Ming like this, he squeezed out a contemptuous laugh from the bottom of his throat.

The housekeeper of the Yuan family felt sorry for his young master, stepped forward and pulled Yuan Ming, and whispered, "Young master, don't be as knowledgeable as this kind of rough person." Yuan Ming's elbow touched the housekeeper's chest, and was crushed by something. All of a sudden, my heart skipped a beat, and I couldn't hide the redness on my face even more.

Account book, that is account book!

What they were waiting for was this moment. Among the guests, there were people who were mixed with the little emperor, and they were watching Yuan Ming's movements from the beginning to the end. A hint of the past, and a loud "The emperor is coming" attracted the attention of the whole room. Seeing the little fat man and a bunch of followers swaggering in through the door, Yuan Ming's heart suddenly panicked.

Expose the account book, expose the account book, account book!

The next moment, everyone bowed to salute. Out of caution and guilty conscience, Steward Yuan put his hand into the front of his front, as if to ensure the safety of the account book.

It's now!

Yuan Ming's mind couldn't hear anything at that moment, and the butler's movements in his eyes were suddenly extremely slow. Seeing the butler touch the corner of the account book, Yuan Ming shouted: "Greetings to the emperor!" He opened his hands and bowed forward again , the outstretched hand just patted the butler's hand, and the butler couldn't let go, so he just pinched the corner and threw the account book out.

In the quiet lobby, the ledger drew an arc from the butler's arms, approaching the little emperor. The servants around him drew their swords vigilantly, and a person beside the emperor stood up and stood in front of him. With a "snap", the account book slapped on the man's chest and fell to the ground again. Everyone held their breath.

Wanxi watched everything that happened in the house from outside the door, his eyes passed through many figures and fell on Yuan Ming's body, Yuan Ming's forehead was on the ground, and his whole body was trembling slightly.Words that had been matched up earlier began in the ear, and the household officials who followed the little emperor looked through the account books, connected the doubts in the account books to the information they found before, and questioned them loudly, neither saying with absolute certainty, but It's enough to make many people's livers tremble.Wanxi stared at Yuan Ming silently, and every time the official questioned something, his hand would become tighter.I don't know how long it took before the little emperor shouted loudly: "That's enough! Put Yuan Shan in my custody temporarily, and the rest of them will go back to their homes and wait for my summons at any time." He took the people away.Wanxi was still watching from outside the door, and Yuan Ming was still kneeling on the ground. At that moment, Wanxi felt very sore.A girl behind him asked, "Does your heart hurt?" It was the genius doctor sent by the little emperor, named Jiang Tianqing, who seemed to be the little emperor's confidant.This kid has so many eyes, he wants to use himself, but he refuses to believe in himself.

The rest of the guests looked at each other in blank dismay, and the scene in Liu's residence became more and more awkward. For a long time, I didn't know who said, "I have something to do at home, so I'll leave first." Everyone echoed, and everyone left in a hurry.Liu Ran tore off the big red flower on his chest, cursed in a low voice, and went out the door. As soon as the door opened, two guards with knives stopped at the door: "Master Liu, please go back." The tone was respectful, but No doubt.

Liu Ao watched from behind, the beard on his mouth twitched: "The little brat finally made a move on my uncle, let him be more tender."

In the palace, the Empress Dowager had just dressed up and was about to go out when someone rushed to report and told the scene of the wedding like this.After hearing this, the queen mother hurried to the little emperor's study with Shu Xin.When I went there, there were many people around in the study, and Shu Xin gave the Queen Mother a hand when she was about to step up the steps: "Queen Mother, it is not appropriate to go there at this time. In front of the ministers, you want people to say that you wantonly meddle in politics Or do you want the emperor to have a chance to show his power to you?"

The Empress Dowager frowned: "The Ai family lends them courage!"

Seeing the back of the queen mother rushing in, Shu Xin suddenly smiled, and the corners of her mouth curled up to reveal the contempt in her heart in an instant.

Not long after, the Empress Dowager's voice came from the study: "Prince, what are you doing? Your uncle's family didn't marry their daughter-in-law today, so why did the Yuan family even put your own uncle under house arrest?"

The courtiers standing in the hall looked around and looked at everyone's eyes, and finally one stood up and said: "Queen Mother, the emperor broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Prime Minister Liu is only under house arrest and has not yet been convicted. We are discussing with the emperor. Please ask the Queen Mother Don't meddle in politics at will!"

Empress Dowager Liu turned her head abruptly, the hairpins on her head rattled and rattled: "Intervention in politics? You mean Ai's family intervening in politics? The late emperor left early, and the emperor was young. , what are you, dare to accuse the Ai family of meddling in politics!"

Bai Henggui knocked on the table and said with a smile: "The child is not filial, and made the mother work hard for so many years."

The empress dowager's complacent expression didn't have time to unfold, Bai Henggui said again: "Come here, go to the empress dowager's palace and collect the phoenix talisman and seal. Don't let the empress dowager worry about going back to the harem. Years, it's not easy for the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Liu turned her face back, her eyes were wide open, full of disbelief.

The sent people passed by Shu Xin who was standing outside the hall, and Shu Xin smiled slightly: "Do you need to lead the way? The queen mother's things are well hidden, so it's not easy for you to search them out." The guard who led the team glanced at Shu Xin, and said coldly : "Master Laoshu is here."

Later, when the Empress Dowager was sent back to the palace, Shu Xin stretched out her hand outside the palace to help her, and smoothed the broken hair on the forehead for the Empress Dowager.The queen mother murmured: "Xiao Shu'er, the Ai family has fallen into the hands of a child. The Ai family has lost to her own son." After walking a few steps and seeing the guards standing quietly outside the palace, she hurriedly shook off Shu Xin and rushed forward. Go up: "Guard Qin, you are still here, you have not been sent away by the emperor, you can still do things for Ai's family, listen carefully..."

"Empress Dowager, the subordinates obey the emperor!"

The short answer cut off the Queen Mother's words. The Queen Mother took two steps back, slowly stood up straight, and then showed the Queen Mother's majesty: "When did it happen?"

Qin Shiwei did not answer directly, but replied: "My mother has never studied, but she firmly believes that those who are loyal to the emperor are good people. My mother was taken over from the countryside. I don't want to see my mother disappointed."

The queen mother's pearl hairpin shook again and again, "Okay, good boy. Aijia thought that he lost today, but it turns out that this child has planned so far, what a cocoon, what an autumn wind sweeps the fallen leaves, good boy. Good boy. This matter was handled so neatly, he is a good son of the Ai family!"

Yuan Rui moved her fingers slowly in the darkness, and a nice female voice shouted to the door: "Come in, wake up."

After a while, Yuan Rui slowly opened her eyes, the oil lamp in the room was very dim, Yuan Rui saw a woman in this dimness, saw Wanxi, and her cousin Yuan Ming.The chaotic mind gradually woke up, so Yuan Rui asked, "Brother, where am I?"

Yuan Ming held Yuan Rui's hand: "Rui'er, brother, let's take you away, let's go to a place where neither your father nor my father can find it, when the time comes, brother will arrange a good family for you, let's not marry Liu Ran That kind of person."

Yuan Rui opened her eyes wide: "Brother, did you rob me?"

Yuan Ming nodded, and then Yuan Rui threw off the quilt and got out of bed, the flame of the oil lamp was slapped, shook violently, and almost went out.

"Brother, where do you put my reputation like this?"

The woman next to her burst out laughing.Yuan Rui looked back at her, the woman was wearing a goose yellow dress with a white silk sash around her waist, she was a very refreshing woman.Seeing Yuanrui looking at her, she nodded slightly: "Jiang Tianqing. I mean Miss Yuanrui, for such a so-called reputation, you married yourself to a bastard like Liu Ran. How do you think your reputation will improve?"

Yuan Rui turned a deaf ear, and still walked out the door until Yuan Ming said loudly: "You can't go back! The Yuan family was confiscated by the emperor, and everyone was locked up. The Liu family was also under house arrest. Are you going now?" People will let you in, and you won't see anyone!"

The room suddenly became quiet, only the chirping of insects could be heard outside.Yuan Rui turned around slowly: "Brother, what's going on?"

Yuan Ming lowered his head and did not speak, Wanxi had no choice but to say for Yuan Ming: "It's a long story, your father, your uncle and the Liu family have colluded with each other for many years to do bad things, and now they have been exposed and put under house arrest by the emperor. Your father asked you to marry For Liu Ran, it was actually just a fight between the Liu and Yuan families, and your father had no choice but to show his loyalty to the Liu family."

Yuan Rui's tears rolled in her eyes: "Why should I believe you? My father would not do such a thing. Someone must have framed my father. I have to go back."

Yuan Ming covered his eyes, feeling wet between his fingers: "Rui'er, it was my uncle and my father who told me."

Taking the heart as the origin, it seems that something is expanding outwards round and round, shaking Yuan Rui's head, and Yuan Rui takes a step closer to Yuan Ming: "Brother, the Yuan family has been locked up, why are you here? You report Who is that woman?"

Yuan Ming looked at Yuan Rui: "Yes, I reported it. I want to stop father and uncle from making mistakes again and again. I have to save their lives. She is someone close to the emperor. The genius doctor Jiang Tianqing is the one who brought you out of the sedan chair." snatched it out."

Yuan Rui retreated step by step, and finally retreated to the door, turned around, pulled the door and ran out.Jiang Tianqing hurriedly went to chase someone, but was stopped by Yuan Ming, Yuan Ming lowered his head, looked out of the door after a while: "Forget it Miss Jiang, Mr. Wanxi is right, I can't replace Rui If she wants to escape, I will take her away, but she doesn't want to, what can I do?"
