Chapter 188 Sharing joys and sorrows
"Sister Mingzhu, wait for me, I'll go with you!"
Xie Yunling gave chase.
Princess An and Princess went out immediately.
Only a few talkers from the Xie family and the Guan family were left.
Mrs. Guan was also very anxious, "I'm going to send a message to my parents' family and ask them to help me put in a good word."
The old lady nodded repeatedly, "A Zheng is the backbone of our Duke's palace. Nothing can happen to him. No matter what method is used, we must take him out of this matter!"
Guan agreed and returned to the courtyard to write a letter.
Looking at Duke Xie who was standing there, the old lady said angrily: "Something happened to your own son, why don't you hurry up and kneel at the palace gate, begging the emperor for mercy!"
Xie Guogong was also anxious, and felt extremely unhappy after being scolded like this.
"That kid never consults with me when doing things. Now that he's in trouble, he wants all of us to wipe his butt. It's really unreasonable!"
The old lady was so angry that her heart ached, "How long has it been since this happened and you still have the thought to scold A Zheng? If something happens to him, our Duke's mansion will become a ruin!"
There is more than one son in the family, Xie Yunzheng, but he is the most promising.
Xie Yunxuan also has potential, but he is the direct son of the second wife.
Xie Guogong did not want the family property to fall into the hands of the second wife.
He didn't complain anymore, "You are too old to be of any help, so go back to the Crane Dance Hall to rest, but don't make yourself seriously ill. A Zheng is not that stupid person. Even if no one helps, he can still solve the problem. What’s more, there are so many people supporting him, so don’t worry, nothing big will happen.”
The old lady couldn't feel at ease until she saw her grandson return home safely.
Just like what Guan said, there are many people outside looking at A Zheng.
This time he had something to do with human life, and that person was the concubine in the East Palace.
There will definitely be many people who will take the opportunity to cause trouble.
Try every means to drag A Zheng down from his high position.
The Xu family alone is difficult to deal with, and now they have offended the Du family...
These people will definitely add insult to injury!
When thinking of the Du family, the old lady thought of another person.
He quickly called to Mr. Xie Guogong, "Go and take Du Peifang back to her yard first, so that she can be taken care of, but don't let the princess rub her down any more!"
In the past few months, Du Peifang has been learning the rules in the main academy.
Princess Anhe's torture methods were endless, and both the old lady and Xie Guogong knew how miserable Du Peifang's life was.
It is indeed a good opportunity to take people away from the main courtyard while the princess is not in the palace.
A Zheng is still busy with matters. Even if the princess knew about it, she would not have the energy to bother with anything else.
Xie Guogong quickly went to the main courtyard.
When I saw Du Peifang, I was frightened by her skinny appearance.
He gritted his teeth and cursed, "Vicious woman, it's over now, let's see how I deal with her!"
Du Peifang looked gloomy and couldn't cry even if she wanted to.
"My lord, why are you here?"
Xie Guogong turned away his eyes and said, "The princess's temper is like this. Don't argue with her. If you find an opportunity in the future, I will help you get justice."
Du Peifang put her hand on her belly and looked sad, "But our child is gone."
Xie Guogong was shocked.
Then I remembered that when Du Peifang entered the house, Anhe gave her a bowl of Juezi soup.
But in the end I didn’t drink.
The veins on his forehead throbbed, but he couldn't say harsh words.
In the end, he just said: "You are still young and you can have children in the future. I will not give her the chance to bully you again."
Du Peifang sneered in her heart.
Although Princess Anhe's father is an idle prince, he is also a true relative of the emperor.
And it was Xie Yunzheng who took the lead in the Duke's Mansion.
No one can protect her.
The only one she can rely on is herself!
Du Peifang leaned against Xie Guogong, "I don't want to stay here, can you take me away?"
She was so weak that a gust of wind could blow her away.
Mr. Xie Guogong was really distressed.
Du Peifang is his equal wife, even if she does something outrageous with him, she will not be humiliated! He picked the person up and left the main courtyard quickly.
……
There is a curfew at night and no one is on the road.
Ji Mingzhu rushed to the palace gate in half the time than usual.
The palace gate has been closed.
She asked someone to go to the Queen's Palace to inform her, but no one responded to her request.
Helpless, Ji Mingzhu could only kneel in front of the palace gate, knowing that the news would reach those people's ears.
She kneeled down willingly.
If nothing else, Xie Yunzheng risked his life to help her investigate her father's affairs.
To her, this is a blessing.
Even if the relationship between them did not improve, she would plead for Xie Yunzheng.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Ji Mingzhu knelt down and Jin Zi immediately followed suit.
The same is true for Xie Yunling.
In Ji Mingzhu's view, she was still a child, how could she bear such a crime?
Calmly ordered, "You go back first."
Xie Yunling shook his head, his eyes full of determination.
"The person who got into trouble is my brother. As long as I can show mercy to you, I will kneel for as long as I want."
After that, he kowtowed heavily.
Xie Yunling shook Ji Mingzhu's hand and said, "Sister-in-law, I can't help with anything else, but I can always stay with you. I will kneel as long as you kneel."
The panic seemed to have an outlet, and Ji Mingzhu's vision instantly became blurry.
The water in the body rushes into the eye sockets, as if it is about to rush out.
She took a deep breath and resisted the urge to cry.
"Yunling, thank you."
She also has someone to rely on in the Duke's Mansion.
Even in the most depressed years, there were people around her supporting her and taking her forward together.
She always said that she was helpless, but at this moment, Ji Mingzhu felt ashamed of it.
She was never alone.
Didn't those words erase the love and support that my aunt and the others had for her?
As expected, what happened at the palace gate reached the ears of Empress Zheng and the Crown Prince.
"If she wants to kneel, let her kneel."
Empress Zheng's attitude was cold, as if she was not the one who made Ji Mingzhu's face.
"Xie Yunzheng is suspected of killing the crown prince's concubine. The investigation has not been clear yet. They are husband and wife, and they must share joys and sorrows."
"If she can't hold on any longer, we'll send her back to the Duke's Mansion. But she wants to plead for Xie Yunzheng, and there's nothing we can do. After all, the state has national laws, and families have family rules!"
The prince stared in the direction of the palace gate without saying a word.
He held a jade pendant in his hand, and his fingertips turned white, which showed how hard he used it.
After giving the soup to the angry emperor, Empress Zheng took the handkerchief and gently wiped his mouth.
He didn't look back at the prince, "On your wedding night, if you don't accompany your princess, what are you doing here?"
The prince squeezed his palms and said, "My father..."
Empress Zheng's eyes became gentler, "This is a stubborn disease. Your father was able to get through it last time, and he can do the same this time."
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor suddenly suffered from a headache and was in a coma for several days.
I haven't been feeling well since then, and it's common to fall asleep all day long.
All affairs in the DPRK are now handled by the prince.
"If you don't go back, the Crown Princess will have to think too much."
The prince's eyes were dark and he hummed lowly.
As soon as his hand was loosened, the jade pendant fell back to his side along with the lace.
He bowed his hands and said, "Mother, my sons and ministers are waiting for news from you."
