Chapter 139 The emperor is angry
"Third Master..."
Before she could utter a word, his face pressed down and kissed her lips with an irresistible trend, blocking all her words.
His hands were not idle either. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he stretched out his long arm and pushed the vase of red plum blossoms on the windowsill closest to them out of the window.
There was a "bang" sound.
Liu Yu realized what he had done and wanted to turn around to look, but he held his head firmly in place and his kiss became deeper and more passionate.
After a moment, he lost control and hugged her sideways. When he walked towards the bed, there was an inopportune knock on the door.
"Master, the palace has summoned you."
Mr. Chen San hugged her hands tightly, his face showing some displeasure at being disturbed.
Liu Yu buried herself in his arms, laughing, and struggled to get out.
"Don't move." Mr. Chen San's voice was hoarse and restrained.
He still carried her to the bed, put her down gently, and kissed her temples:
"You should go to bed early." He covered her with the quilt, then got up and left the room.
It was so late and they summoned Mr. Chen San, I'm afraid it must be a big deal. Liu Yu was worried about him, so he lifted the quilt and chased to the door barefoot.
From a distance, she saw the angel delivering imperial decrees standing at the crescent-shaped gate of Qinyuanju, and Liu Yu heard the angel's voice intermittently.
"Master Chen, the royal family is very angry, please be careful with your words later..."
Until their figures disappeared, Liu Yu returned to the room, called Guyu, and helped her tidy up her clothes.
After a while, the old lady came to Qinyuanju with a gloomy look on her face. It was obvious that she had heard that Mr. Chen San had summoned her to the palace.
Liu Yu comforted her, but he deliberately concealed what he heard.
It’s too late, and there are still many things to do tomorrow. After listening to Liu Yu’s words, although he was still worried, he still left Qinyuanju.
After the old lady left, Liu Yu lay down with his clothes on, fearing that something might happen.
……
On the way to the palace, the angel explained the reason for the anger in heaven.
Mr. Chen San understood. He was not surprised. He lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and looked in the direction of Zhang's residence. The smile in his eyes disappeared in an instant.
When he arrived outside the imperial study, he heard the sound of something being thrown inside.
The last time the Tian family got so angry was three years ago. Even the dam collapse in Xunjiang River in Lingnan was not this serious.
When Mr. Chen San walked into the imperial study, what caught his eye was the mess on the floor. There were broken porcelain pieces, ink from the inkstone splattered all over the floor, and memorials from the imperial desk scattered everywhere.
The old man with white hair had an abnormally pale face, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to be deeper. He looked more than ten years older than he had in the morning.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Mr. Chen San knelt down and performed the great ceremony between the emperor and his subject.
Tianjia didn't let him get up immediately: "You've heard the rumors on the street."
"I heard about it." Mr. Chen San reported truthfully.
"What do you think?"
"The words of ignorant people cannot be trusted. Prime Minister Zhang has assisted the emperor for three dynasties. His loyalty is evident to the sun and the moon."
"Ha!" The emperor laughed in anger, "It's been a long time since the sun and the moon have shown, but the people only know Zhang Lianci, not me or the royal family. What do you think?"
He knew the intention of the Heavenly Family, which was nothing more than to deal with Zhang Lianci.
He also has to thank the rumor spreader for adding fuel to the fire.
Master Chen San knew that the fire was almost ready, so he expressed his loyalty immediately.
"Okay, then you go and find out for me whether Zhang Lianci has done what the rumor says, and the source of the rumor, so that people won't think that I have wronged Zhang Lianci."
Mr. Chen San took the order and left the imperial study.
The royal family secretly summoned Master Chen San, and with unstoppable momentum, he arrived at Zhang's house overnight.
Zhang Lianci gathered all his staff members in the study room overnight to discuss matters. The light in the study was not turned off all night and was not turned off until dawn.
Looking in the direction of the imperial palace, Zhang Lianci's eyes flashed with viciousness. You were the one who was unkind first, so don't blame him for being unjust.
He picked up the pen, quickly wrote a word on a piece of paper, put it into a bamboo tube, and soon a carrier pigeon flew towards the direction of the palace.
After finishing his work, Zhang Lianci took a carriage and went to Prince Qi's Mansion.
……
The time goes back to before midnight.
Deep in the backyard of Chen's house, an old woman in coarse linen clothes sneaked up to the locked small Buddhist temple.
She avoided the patrolling guards and came to a secluded corner, where reeds half a person's height grew.
After looking around and making sure that the guards had gone far away and there was no one around, the old woman squatted down and gently pushed aside the reeds, revealing a passage just wide enough for one person to pass through.
The old woman quickly got in.
The person lying on the stone bed heard the noise outside, and immediately got up, walked out of the meditation room, quickly knelt down on the cushion in front of the Buddha statue, picked up a brush, and pretended to copy scriptures.
Seeing that it was Chang's maid who came, he threw the brush aside.
"Aunt Jiang, the opportunity has come." The old woman walked in with a smile on her face.
The old woman was Jiang Xueqing's confidant who was bought off before she came in, with the intention of causing some trouble to the Chang family. Now that she can be used unexpectedly, it is a big surprise for her.
"How confident are you?" Jiang Xueqing asked.
The old woman said confidently, "I am 100% sure, and this time I won't suspect Auntie."
The old woman told Jiang Xueqing clearly what had happened in the house that day.
"good."
Jiang Xueqing's eyes flashed with excitement. After staying here for a few months, she could finally go out.
During the days she stayed in the temple, Jiang Xueqin thought deeply about it. She felt that she was locked up because she was a concubine and her life was in their hands.
If she were a legal wife, who would dare to treat her like this? Even the old lady would have to be considerate. For a big family like the Chen family, face is the most important thing.
As long as she is the legal wife, Liu Yu is just a concubine and she can't do whatever she wants.
Her previous vision was too narrow. When she thought about the fact that she would be the mistress of the Chen family in the future, Xueqing became extremely excited.
Seeing Qiu Ruo take out the black package, Jiang Xueqing signaled Qiu Ruo to give the old woman a large bag of silver.
The old woman looked at the heavy silver in her hand and knelt down excitedly: "Madam Jiang, don't worry, I will definitely do everything you asked me to do."
Jiang Xueqing waved her hand impatiently and urged, "Go quickly, don't waste time. However, you still have to be careful not to let anyone see any clues and find out that it was my work. Otherwise, you know the consequences."
"Yes, I would never involve your aunt even if I die." After expressing her loyalty, Mrs. Wang put the package in her arms and quickly left the small Buddhist hall.
Looking at the disappearing figure, Jiang Xueqing couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth: "Liu Yu, do you think that you can lock me up for life just by sending me here? I will settle this account with you sooner or later."
Qiu Ruo, who was standing by, had good eyesight and knelt down to congratulate Jiang Xueqin:
"Congratulations, my lady. When you become the second wife, Liu Yu will be so embarrassed when he sees you that he will kneel on the ground and beg for mercy."
