yellow door

Chang Xiu fell into a coma for two days, Wen Mu stayed by his side for two days, even if concubine Xiao Guifei sent someone to pass him over, he only said that he was copying a book and sent the person back.It wasn't until the morning of the third day, before Chang Xiu woke up, that the imperial concubine sent Liu Shangyi, the most capable person around her, and he reluctantly followed to Feixia Hall.

When she saw Concubine Xiao, she saw her face full of coldness. When she saw Wen Mu enter the inner hall, she didn't wait for the surrounding palace people to retreat, she just cursed: "You useless thing, for such a thing, just follow your mother!" When you lose your temper, you are not afraid that others will read the joke. When you grow up, your wings will become stiff, right? I said that day that I would send that thing back to the Supervisor of Ceremonies for disposal. Not only did you not listen, you even let him go. You stayed in the dormitory for two days, and you only thought your mother's words were deaf to your ears, didn't you?"

Liu Shangyi saw Concubine Xiao was so angry that she didn't even care about her claim, she just winked and made the people around her retreat.When only Concubine Xiao and her son were left in the palace, she walked up to Concubine Xiao and persuaded her: "Your Majesty, take a break first, Master Mu is only 14 years old, he is just a child, and when he is fond of playing, he understands better." What, if you have something to say, just tell him well, why should you be so angry."

Liu Shangyi is a servant who has been with Concubine Xiao since she was a child, her words are naturally different from others. Standing there with a livid face.

Concubine Xiao Gui couldn't help but swallowed the words she was about to say, then sighed deeply, and said: "Do you think I want to scold him? Are you willing to scold him? He has grown so big, I have punished him several times ? It’s just that he really hurt my heart this time, to disobey me because of such a thing.”

Seeing that Mu was still standing there stiffly, she said again: "That day, when Bengong wanted to bring him back, he just hurried back to Zhaoyang Hall, and later he was sent to come, but he also made excuses not to, and now it is Seeing this palace, I still have this expression. Is this how he repays his mother for being cautious and calculating carefully all day long in this palace?"

As she said that, Concubine Xiao took the handkerchief and slowly wiped the corners of her eyes.

Wen Mu's temperament is extremely arrogant, he was scolded by Concubine Xiao just now, his face was naturally ugly, but now seeing Concubine Xiao's expression like this, he can't keep his face.He just stepped forward, walked to the side of the noble concubine, leaned on her and sat down, and said: "The empress loves the child, the child naturally knows, but the empress didn't ask the reason, so she just scolded the child without giving the child an excuse. Don't you just hurt the boy's heart? Does the empress distrust the boy so much?"

"Since you said that, why didn't you listen to what the concubine mother said, and just went against the concubine mother to do it, that Chang Xiu..."

"Your Majesty, please listen to what your minister has to say, okay?" Hearing Concubine Xiao Gui mentioned Chang Xiu again, Wen Mu hurriedly interrupted.

"I have indeed copied the homework my father sent me these two days, and I definitely didn't miss my empress's visit here. If I don't send the things arranged by my father before the third brother and the others, how can I Didn’t you lose the conversation with them? Even now, my son hasn’t finished copying, and there are still paper and ink on the table!”

Seeing that Concubine Xiao Gui was about to open her mouth to speak, he hurriedly said: "As for that slave, is it really so ignorant of the importance of the empress to be a servant? Just because of a servant, the servant will fight with the emperor and the others? Doesn't the empress know that Erchen usually uses his mouth, brain and hands instead of his hands?"

Concubine Xiao Gui just kept a straight face, and snorted softly: "I heard you said it lightly, you obviously fought with Wen Lian and them because of that thing, and you excused him at your father's place, and now, unexpectedly You want to fool people with those nonsense words, don't you?"

Wen Mu saw that Concubine Xiao Gui was even uttering rough words at this moment, knowing that she was still angry, he just smiled and took her hand, and said: "Beating a dog depends on the owner, the three of them know that Chang Xiu is the son of a minister. Those who are proud don't care about bullying, they just pretend to be backed by the empress and virtuous concubine, they don't pay attention to us at all, if my son-in-law keeps quiet, they will look down upon us, besides..."

Seeing that Concubine Xiao Gui was listening attentively, he paused for a moment, and then said: "My ministers also purposely wanted to make this matter bigger, anyway, if it is really going to be passed on to Emperor Father, they are the only ones who have lost their position. The empress watched the son-in-law make their Wen Min look like that, the books the father punished the son-in-law to copy were not as many as the three of them, even the empress saw the three of them, wouldn't she also feel happy?"

"You have always been prudent, and you are doing this just to vent your anger?" Concubine Xiao did not believe it, she only wanted to excuse Chang Xiu in front of him.

"Of course it's more than that. The empress knows why the father is unhappy recently?"

Concubine Xiao Gui hesitated for a moment before answering: "Of course it's about the flood in Yizhou, so what has it to do with it?"

"Madam, do you know what caused the flood in Yizhou?"

"Didn't the officials dereliction of duty and embezzle the money for building the embankment? Didn't your father send someone to investigate the case?" Concubine Xiao Gui was even more surprised. What does water have to do with this matter in front of me?

"Your Majesty, have you ever wondered who was rewarded for this Yizhou embankment?"

Concubine Xiao Gui's eyes flashed, but she said: "Although I heard about it that year, but he was only a supervisor and co-organizer, this matter did not really go through his hands, this is clear in the court According to the words from Mr. Xiao Xiangye, Yao Jinqi made great efforts at the beginning, but Wen Zhi took more than half of the credit, and when he spoke in private, he slipped his tongue and seemed to complain."

"Your Majesty, do you think the officials below are so courageous that they dare to corrupt the law under the noses of the prince and court ministers?" Wen Mu looked at Concubine Xiao with a smile, and the meaning of his words was self-evident.

"You mean..." Xiao Guifei hesitated slightly.

"I don't mean anything, I just feel that the emperor's arrangement this time is unreasonable. The criminal department is not used to investigate the case, but people are sent from the household department. The three divisions are not required to interrogate major cases, but the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Daliyuan are sent. People, it’s trivial to investigate corruption below, but it’s against the rules to investigate major cases.”

Concubine Xiao Gui's expression turned cold, she hesitated and said: "You mean Wenzhi..."

"What about elder brother, I don't know. However, if the father is already unhappy with some people, it is very easy to make him annoyed."

After listening to Concubine Xiao Gui, she was thoughtful at first, then turned serious, and said: "If you say it according to what you said, your father wants to take the matter of Yizhou lightly, and you can't handle this matter properly. Wen Zhi is Wen Zhi, Wen Min is Wen Min, not to mention that Wen Zhi will leave the palace this year to open a mansion, even if your father is a little annoyed by the north side, wouldn't your actions make yourself feel guilty? Talking point? People are afraid of bumping into the jade bottle next to them when they hit a mouse, but you are fine, you just hit the mouse with the jade bottle."

Seeing that Mu was speechless for a while, she continued: "Besides, the eunuch is lying on the bed and can't serve you, but you still put him in the room and disobeyed the concubine because of him." , what's the point of this?"

Wen Mu then said: "Don't tell me, I'm going to move him out, but he was seriously injured in the past two days, I'm afraid to move him out, if it's not done well, it will be a big deal !"

"It was his good fortune to save his life. Why are you so concerned about him? Just send it to Chang Gui." Concubine Xiao Gui always felt that her son had the intention of protecting that evil. The handling is not relaxed at all.

"Since the empress let him be by my son's side at the beginning, she deliberately let him be a target for my son. Now, even the emperor knows that there is such a person by my son's side. Back then, although I didn't know that the queen Concubine Xian had something in mind, but both of them pleaded for him." Wen Mu looked at Concubine Xiao's expression, and only became more cautious when speaking.

"Father didn't say at the time that he was going to kick him out. If the person next to my minister suddenly disappeared in the future, maybe the queen or the concubine Xian would say something in front of the father. Now the beating is done, and the punishment is fine. I was punished, but the empress still said such and such..."

Don't say what Wen Mu said later, but Concubine Xiao Gui understood what he meant - in this case, after the empress and concubine Xian knew about it, they would have to tell the truth in front of the emperor, saying that she was narrow-minded and sinister, and that even the emperor I don't care about the meaning.

Come to think of it, as an emperor, few would like concubines who are too thoughtful and vicious, let alone feel that it is a happy thing for the harem not to take their own ideas seriously.

When Wen Mu said this, Concubine Xiao was worried that other people in the harem would give her eye drops in front of the emperor, so she couldn't help thinking carefully.It's just that she was tired of Chang Xiu, even after hearing her son's words made sense, she was still very unhappy.

"Since you are also thinking about my concubine, my concubine will not say anything about you. Now that you are older, next year, you will move out of Zhaoyang Palace and go to Jiyuan Palace. Since you have your own My idea, some things are more considerate than my concubine's, so this time I will obey you, just don't drive out that eunuch."

Concubine Xiao's tone finally softened, but in the end she was still worried, and she emphasized: "However, this time you will have a long memory, and you can spend less time on that thing in the future, I'm afraid it will be a disaster after all. , will miss your big event."

Wen Mu listened to Concubine Xiao's words, but replied with a calm smile: "The child has his own way, the empress can just rest assured!"

Concubine Xiao Gui's face turned pale, and she vented her anger, then she thought of other things, and said: "Mother Concubine was angry at you for not listening, and the words she said at the beginning were really serious, only you can understand The concubine's painstaking efforts towards you are good. Since you said that you haven't finished copying the books that the emperor punished you for, then go back first."

Then he asked: "By the way, Liu Shangyi called Liu Sui'er from your palace to come over earlier, is she here?"

Concubine Xiao was furious when she saw Wen Mu just now, and then Liu Shangyi asked everyone in the hall to retreat, but she didn't pay attention to who was following Wen Mu today.

Seeing that Mu nodded yes, she said again: "This Liu Sui'er is a good person. If she hadn't called someone to stop you in time this time, maybe you would cause something to happen. If so, the mother concubine's place is really good." You must reward her well, since you are in a hurry to go back and copy the books, as long as she stays here for a while."

After hearing this, Wen Mu only lowered his head, and answered "Yes" in a deep voice.
