Rebirth of marriage

The emperor did not explain clearly, but the queen knew the meaning of his words.

If this is moved back to the palace, the third prince will be established as the prince. Only the prince can return to the palace. After the ordinary prince is separated, he is not allowed to stay in the palace at will, let alone move back to the palace.

She came to the Imperial Study Room for this reason. Unexpectedly, the emperor took the initiative to speak up and gave such a hint. The queen considered it, "Your Majesty has grown up now. It's time to learn to share the burden for His Majesty."

With the help of the Cao family, it is not difficult for the emperor to make meritorious deeds.

"I will find an opportunity to arrange errands for him in this matter. He has just been married and is not in good health. Let him rest for a while first." The emperor held the queen in his arms and said warmly, "My child is not going to be healthy." There are so many, how could you not care about them?

It's rare for you to come over today. Would you like to have lunch with me here before going back?It seems that I haven't spent much time with the Queen in recent days. If the Queen has nothing to do, I can accompany her to the Royal Garden for a walk in the afternoon. "

As he spoke, he put his hand on the queen's back.

Since the night of the fight, the queen had been resistant to the emperor's closeness. In addition, Aqing was still waiting for her in Fengyi Palace, so she withdrew from the emperor's arms and said softly, "Your Majesty has many things to do every day. It is enough for me to be remembered by your Majesty." I am grateful and dare not miss His Majesty's time to deal with official business.

I have to go back to the palace to deal with the matter at the Ministry of Rites. Tomorrow, I will order the imperial kitchen to make some fresh dishes. Then I will come back to dine with His Majesty. How about that? "

The emperor's eyes full of tenderness turned to regret, "That can only be like this, thank you Queen for your hard work."

Seeing this, the queen hurriedly excused herself, turning around with a hint of guilt in her eyes.

The emperor personally walked to the door of the imperial study. He saw the Minister of Rites waiting outside the door and followed the queen to the direction of Fengyi Palace. There was a strange look on the emperor's face, half-smiling but not smiling.

After the group of people disappeared completely, he turned around and went to the imperial study room, saying to Zhao Debao, "Change clothes."

Zhao Debao hurriedly stepped forward to change the bright yellow dragon robe for him, and fetched water to clean his hands.

After the emperor wiped his hands, he added, "Take thirty thousand from my private treasury and send it to Prince Xiao's Mansion, so that Xiao'er can repair it. No one can spend thirty thousand on a banquet, but my son only spends thirty thousand on it." I can live in a house with broken teeth.”

"Yes." Zhao Debao responded hurriedly. He knew that His Majesty was feeling unbalanced.

But wasn't that house given by His Majesty in the first place? He was already disrespectful by saying such words, so he didn't dare to show it.

After a moment of hesitation, he continued, "I heard that after Prince Gong and his son moved to His Highness's residence, Prince Gong made a lot of changes in Prince Xiao's residence and brought many good things there."

"Then give me 5 taels. My son doesn't need to be pitied by Uncle Gong." Since the last time he said it, he thought their father-son relationship would improve, but Gu Xiao only came to see him once, and it was just for convenience. Go to the Ministry of Punishment to investigate the cause of death of the former Minister of Dali Temple.

However, his son has a stubborn temper, but he is also soft-hearted. As long as he treats him better now, he will always have his father in his eyes.

With this in mind, he warned, "Find a reliable and inconspicuous place, and don't let the people on the other end see it, otherwise they will stare at Xiao'er again.

The person from Fengyi Palace also told her to be cautious and not to rush to deliver news that was not important. It took so many years to gain her trust and not to fail in her efforts. "

Zhao Debao hurriedly responded and gave instructions before returning to serve the emperor.

Gu Xiao received the 5 taels of silver. After a moment of silence, he handed it to Mo Qi. "There is a drought in the north this year. I am afraid that the people will not have a good harvest. I will debit another 1 taels from the account and exchange the money for food." , 3 taels to buy coarse grains, 3 taels to go to Xie’s workshop to order flour cakes, and deliver them to the people as Mr. Feng Erye.”

Mo Qi nodded and went down with the banknote.

Second Master Feng was a pseudonym used by the prince to help the people and do good deeds. He didn't know where Feng came from, but he was ranked Second Master. Mo Li had guessed it with him in private.

The prince must be thinking about the child who had a miscarriage in the past and wanted to do some meritorious deeds in his name. He felt that maybe Li Qiye's guess was right this time. After all, the prince watched the child turn into a pool of blood with his own eyes. It’s hard not to leave traces in your heart.

The prince looked cold, but his heart was kind, and he was even more attentive to the people.

Rice is delicious, but for people who are too poor to have enough to eat, whole grains can make them fuller and last longer.

But buying coarse grains on a large scale can easily arouse people's thoughts. The Xie family is one of their own, so it is much safer to get bread from Xie Ji's workshop, which also takes care of the Xie family's business in disguise.

After leaving Gu Xiao's yard, he turned back to his house, took out 500 taels from the money box, and went to look for Mo Li. Mo Li only asked how much, and then took out 500 taels of silver notes and handed it to him. Don't give up.

This has been a habit of their brothers for many years. Every time the prince does something good, they will also point out something based on the situation at hand. The prince is for the people, for the second prince, and they are for the prince.

I hope that God will take more care of their prince for the sake of the merits they have done. The prince originally rewarded them with the money.

Gu Xiao was aware of the behavior of the two people, but he didn't know that they were praying for him. He just thought that they cared about the people, and would give them some rewards from time to time as subsidies.

When Mo Qi went to buy food, Mo Li returned to Gu Xiao to wait on him.

When Gu Xiao saw him coming back, he put down the book in his hand and took him to go to the Punishment Department first, and then to Zhenbao Pavilion and Jinxiu Pavilion.

Jiu'er went back to Xie's house last night. Whenever she went back, she was always busy. She probably didn't even bother to prepare dresses and jewelry for the banquet at the Third Prince's Mansion. He heard that these two shops would have new models today, so he had to go Get some wine here.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he came out of the Ministry of Punishment, he heard that the wife of the former Minister of Dali Temple was also poisoned and killed at home.

Regarding the death of the former Minister of Dali Temple, he had just begun to get some insights, and his wife died next. Gu Xiao felt something was strange, so he took Mo Li away from the scene.

When he and Mo Li arrived, Wu Chong had already led the people from Dali Temple to capture the murderer.

The murderer was a mother-in-law of the former minister of Dali Temple. She had a daughter who was given to the former minister of Dali Temple. Instead of being taken as a concubine, she was punished by the mistress and eventually drowned.

The murderer believed that the mistress had killed her daughter because she did not want the former minister of Dali Temple to take her daughter as a concubine, so he had a grudge against the mistress.

As the former minister of Dali Temple was imprisoned and committed suicide, and the government was in decline, she took the opportunity to kill the head mistress to avenge her daughter.

When the mistress of the house died of food poisoning, Wu Chong quickly followed the clues and found the mother-in-law. When Dali Temple took someone away, the mother-in-law was holding poison and planning to commit suicide.

A maid in the mansion testified that she saw the murderer going to the kitchen and touching the mistress's food. Another woman testified that the murderer had asked her where to buy poison.

There were both witnesses and physical evidence. The murderer was captured by the Dali Temple yamen. When he saw the Ming Palace knife in the yamen's hand, he was frightened and confessed.

There was no suspense in this case, and Gu Xiao didn't notice anything wrong at first glance, but he always felt that the former Dali Temple Minister's wife died too easily.

Then he reminded Wu Chong.

After buying things for Xie Jiu and sending them to Xie Jiu's house, he also told Xie Jiu about the matter.

Xie Jiu nodded, "There is indeed something wrong. You have people staring at Dali Temple and the Cao family. I have become accustomed to feeling that whenever there is a problem, it is inseparable from the Cao family. I will ask people from Jiuxiao Pavilion to keep an eye on those two witnesses." On."

Gu Xiao was able to survive the assassinations and assassinations of the Cao family and the empress time and time again, which was because of his keenness, and she also felt that a head matron should not die so easily.

Gu Xiao nodded and immediately gave the order.

In a blink of an eye, the day of the flower viewing banquet at the Third Prince's Mansion arrived. Xie Jiu put on the dress Gu Xiao selected for her and got on the carriage of Prince Gong's Mansion.

The third prince knew that Prince Gong was protecting Prince Xiao, so he did not send a message to Su Mengjiao. However, Prince Gong felt that this banquet, which almost entertained all the civil and military officials in the capital, was an opportunity for his son and daughter-in-law to officially reveal their faces in front of everyone, so he persuaded him. Zhulou Qi took Su Mengjiao to attend.

It was obvious that they were targeting the master of his pavilion, and Lou Qi had planned to stir up trouble. The father and son hit it off immediately, dressed up early in the morning, and came to Xie's house to receive Xie's wine.

Xie Jiu saw Prince Gong and Lou Qi wearing the same bright red brocade robes, which looked festive and joyful. Then he saw the excited expressions on the faces of the father and son, and it was written on their faces that we were going to cause trouble.

Xie Jiu paid a brief moment of silence for the third prince and Nihuang. When he raised his eyes again, his face was already smiling. She was also gearing up, looking forward to it.
