Murong Yujian said with great tact that he would go back to his own palace to get Yun Qianyu the night-shining pearl.
Murong Cang nodded in agreement, and Gong Sangmo followed Murong Cang to the imperial study!
Wondering what they talked about? Anyway, they talked for a long time, and even the eunuch chief Li Jinhai was sent out.
But when Gong Sangmo came out, he had a long brocade box in his hand. No one except the emperor and Gong Sangmo knew what was inside.
But Li Jinhai, who had been in the palace for most of his life, guessed what was inside the brocade box at a glance!
He looked at Gong Sangmo’s departing figure thoughtfully, and suddenly realized that his back was less calm and relaxed than usual. He seemed to be much more relaxed!
The straight spine, the brisk steps, the flying black hair, and the fluttering wide sleeves reminded Li Jinhai that the idle prince was in a good mood at this time!
Li Jinhai shook his head. Years of experience had taught him that some things were better known than unknown. He didn’t think about it anymore and hurried into the imperial study to wait.
After leaving the imperial study, Gong Sangmo did not go to Yun Qianyu’s palace, but went directly out of the palace and returned to Xian Wang’s mansion.
That night, the apparent tranquility under the night sky of the capital city concealed a great disturbance.
In every household, on the window frames with flickering candlelight, there were figures whispering, whispering about the big things that happened in the evening of the capital city. It was not until the next morning that everyone learned the exact news!
Something big happened in the Tiger Guard Camp outside the city, and Rui Wang went there in person but couldn’t solve it. Some people who entered the city late said that they didn’t know what happened in the Tiger Guard Camp? But they saw flames rising to the sky in the direction of the Tiger Guard Camp, and the sound of fighting could be heard faintly. It was said that the fire had been burning for half a night! Rui Wang returned to the city at dawn, and he looked very embarrassed.
And the mother of Lord Bai, the Minister of Works, suddenly became seriously ill last night, and the imperial doctors could not do anything. This morning, the Bai Mansion had already hung up the spirit flag, and the crying was deafening! The Bai Mansion was busy with the funeral, and it was already a mess.
The most ridiculous one was Prime Minister Tian. He just sprained his foot and it would be fine after two days of rest. However, two concubines fought for favor at night and broke Prime Minister Tian’s foot. This time he was bedridden.
General Liu, who went out of the city to find his son, became the laughing stock of the capital overnight. He was “anxious” to find his son outside the city, but his son was living a life of luxury and had a fight with a foreign merchant on the street for the top spot, which made him famous in the capital! General Liu was so angry with his son that he vomited blood and was bedridden.
The people who didn’t understand were really sighing. How could all these things happen together? Only the people from Rui Wang’s faction didn’t take it seriously, because they knew that these things were just pretending! The purpose was to give the Princess Protector a warning! It was only when they attended the morning court that they found out that all this was true. Because the Minister of Works Bai Yongzhi, Prime Minister Tian, and General Liu did not attend the court.
Murong Cang, wearing a black dragon robe embroidered with gold, sat upright on the dragon throne. Looking at Rui Wang, who was pale, with sunken eyes and obviously not well rested, he sighed in his heart at the cruel and domineering methods of Qianyu. To be able to force his treacherous and domineering nephew into this state, she was really fearless!
But the gift from the girl had already arrived, and there was no reason for him not to accept it, right?
He angrily scolded all the court officials, and no one dared to refute. The facts were in front of them, and there were so many things when something happened, how to refute it?
Especially those from Rui Wang’s faction, all of them looked at Rui Wang.
Rui Wang was depressed and wanted to cry, but he couldn’t explain it at the moment. He also knew about the three things that happened before the morning court today, and he didn’t have time to prepare any countermeasures. But he knew in his heart that except for the fact that Bai Yongzhi’s mother was indeed seriously ill and didn’t have much time left, the others were obviously acting, so how did they all go wrong in the end? He didn’t believe that no one was involved.
