Chapter 21 Emperor Jingping
Qiu Heng ate the soft and sweet sugar cake and thought: It's time for Uncle Yongqing to come back.
Uncle Yongqing came back in the afternoon. He was worried about offending Han Wu, the commander in chief, and excited about meeting the eunuch Xue Quan. His mood had never been so contradictory.
"Did you punish Heng'er to kneel in the ancestral hall?" Uncle Yongqing's expression changed when he learned about the old lady's treatment of Qiu Heng.
Seeing that Uncle Yongqing's face was not good-looking, the old lady asked, "Uncle, do you think the punishment is too light?"
After all, it’s a girl’s family, so she doesn’t need to be whipped, right?
"What's too light and too heavy? Why are you punishing me?"
The old lady was stunned: "Sixth girl shouldn't be punished?"
She went behind her back to sue the son of the commander of Han Du, making enemies of the uncle's house!
"She seeks justice for her adoptive father. She is a good child."
Old lady:?
My uncle may be possessed by evil spirits.
"Let someone go to the ancestral hall to bring Heng'er out. Forget it, I'll let Jiangxiang go." Ignoring the old lady's disbelieving look, Uncle Yongqing emphasized, "In the future, Madam will ask me about anything related to Heng'er. .”
"I have something to ask now." The old lady took a deep breath, "Why does uncle value Heng'er so highly?"
In the past, my uncle had never had a hand in how to discipline the five granddaughters in the family. He would only make decisions when it came to important matters, such as sending the eldest daughter into the palace.
Why is it different when you reach Sixth Girl?
"I told you, Heng'er fell in love with me." Uncle Yongqing was not ready to tell the old lady about the tacit exchange of interests with Qiu Heng for the time being.
"As long as Madam understands, what I do must be for the good of the uncle's house. Things outside are complicated, and you, a woman, don't understand."
"Got it."
Outside the ancestral hall, two servant girls were chatting boredly when they saw Jiang Xiang coming over.
"Why are Sister Jiangxiang here?" The two maids did not dare to neglect the maid next to Uncle Yongqing, and immediately put smiles on their faces.
"My uncle asked me to take Miss Six back to Lengxiangju."
The two servant girls opened the door of the ancestral hall with shocked expressions on their faces.
The kneeling girl turned her head.
"Miss Six, my servant will take you back to your room." Jiang Xiang helped Qiu Heng up politely.
"Thank you, Sister Jiangxiang."
When passing by the two maids, Qiu Heng smiled slightly: "I'm sorry for bothering you two mothers today."
After the two of them left for a long time, the two servant women still couldn't come back to their senses.
"Sixth girl went out within half a day of entering the ancestral hall?"
"It's Jiangxiang who is next to the old man to pick him up. Doesn't that mean——"
The two maids looked at each other and began to frantically recall whether they had offended Miss Six in their words.
Fortunately, fortunately, the sixth girl ignored them at all after entering the ancestral hall.
The news that Jiangxiang, the eldest maid next to Uncle Yongqing, went to the ancestral hall to fetch the sixth girl personally spread throughout the uncle's house.
When the fourth girl Qiu Fu heard about it, she was so angry that she punched her pillow.
There was no need for her to send the bag of white sugar cakes.
Don’t worry!
Qiu Heng returned to his residence, but Han Ziheng failed to go home and stayed in the Jingtian Mansion cell.
It was said to be a prison cell, but it was kept clean and the mattresses and bedding were all new.
His charges are yet to be determined, but it is a fact that he killed someone while riding a horse, and he cannot avoid being imprisoned temporarily.
At this time, several young people were visiting the prison.
"Ziheng, why are you suddenly in jail?"
Han Ziheng's face turned livid: "It's all because I went to the south and made me look sexy!"
A few days ago, Han Ziheng went with his mother to Suiyun County to pay birthdays to his grandmother, and several of his playmates knew about it.
"That little girl from the Yongqing Uncle's Mansion really doesn't know how high the sky is. Ziheng, don't worry, I'll find a chance to give her some color." "No need." Han Ziheng refused immediately, gritting his teeth and said, "At least not until the case is settled. . After waiting for a while, I want her to die!"
After the visiting prisoner left, one of the young men couldn't help but wonder: "What does Miss Qiuliu look like? Could it be that she has three eyes and eight courages?"
If the noble sons in the capital were divided into three, six or nine grades, Han Ziheng would be in the first grade.
Another young man said with a smile: "That day when she came out of the Yamen, I took a look at her. Tsk, she is a rare beauty."
"Beauty... When Zi Heng makes her life worse than death, let's join in the fun."
Several dandies went to their usual restaurant with laughter.
As for whether Han Ziheng can be released from prison, no one is worried.
How could something happen? Ziheng's father was Han Dianshuai.
Han Wu, the commander-in-chief of Han Palace whom several people thought was the best, went to the palace to plead guilty.
"I have no way to teach my children, and I am ashamed of Your Majesty."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Emperor Jingping was in his forties and was on the thin side. He had been addicted to exotic flowers and stones, calligraphy, painting and incense for many years. At first glance, he looked more like an elegant scholar.
His tone was also gentle: "Where did Han Qing start with these words?"
"The dog went out with his mother to celebrate her birthday a few days ago, and went hunting in the mountains for fun. On the way back, he felt unwell. In order to seek medical treatment, his horse went too fast and hit someone..."
Emperor Jingping listened and glanced at Xue Quan, the eunuch beside him.
He had heard Xue Quan say this before, and the key points were different.
Did he hit someone while riding a horse for fun, or did he hit someone for a reason——
Emperor Jingping preferred the former.
"I came from a humble background, and I am today entirely thanks to His Majesty's grace. The imperial censor will definitely impeach me for the dog incident. I have embarrassed Your Majesty and asked to be dismissed from the post of commander in front of the palace..."
As Han Wu spoke, he began to kowtow, knocking his head firmly on the cold gold bricks.
Although Xue Quan was at odds with Han Wu, he would not talk much at times like this.
When they reach their status, they will not easily break up with each other directly.
Emperor Jingping looked at his ministers who were kowtowing vigorously, and his dissatisfaction with him for failing to discipline his son quietly disappeared.
Then Han Ziheng is Han Wu's only son. How can a father not love his son?
Over the past twenty years, Han Wu's actions still satisfied him, and he could not let the old minister feel cold.
"Okay." Emperor Jingping stopped, his tone was calm, but what he said made Han Wu happy, "Then get the doctor's testimony as soon as possible and give this little girl an explanation."
Xue Quan had no reaction on his face after hearing this, but sighed in his heart.
I still underestimated the importance of Han Wu in His Majesty's heart. But it doesn't matter, he didn't intend to pull Han Wu down based on this matter. It was enough to leave a mark in His Majesty's heart.
Turning around, Xue Quan called Xue Han.
"We don't have to intervene in Han Ziheng's case."
Xue Han was silent for a moment and asked: "Is this what I mean?"
"You know why you still ask?" Xue Quan glanced at his adopted son, "Why do I think you are too attentive to this case?"
He understands the child he raised. This kid was born as a beggar and has tasted both hot and cold. He has always been lukewarm and carefree in everything.
Something is a little abnormal now.
Xue Quan was doubtful and his expression remained calm.
Xue Han looked calm: "My child just feels it is a pity."
Xue Quan sneered: "What's a pity? Han Wu and I have been at loggerheads for many years, and we are no longer together at this moment. Okay, you go do your own thing. Remember to curb your free will and don't cause trouble for me."
From beginning to end, not a word was mentioned about the girl who lost her adoptive father.
It was just a knife used to deal with Han Wu. Of course, it didn't matter how the knife was.
