Chapter 217: Surprise! General Chu and Grand Tutor Pang go to court together
Shen Zhao stayed overnight in the camp in the capital.
Late last night, Lieutenant General Yao was saved by the treatment of Doctor Zhang and Pang Yunjin.
Old Madam Yao kowtowed repeatedly to Doctor Zhang and Pang Yunjin and refused to get up for a long time, thanking them for saving her life.
He even personally stayed by Deputy General Yao's side and refused to leave.
Chen Zhao felt a surge of pain in her heart as she watched this. She thought of Madam Shen in the mansion, who was also a mother. She had never seen her act like this for herself.
It rained all night yesterday and just stopped at the hour of Yin.
Shen Zhao dressed neatly and prepared to go to court. Also going with her were Master Pang and Xie Yuheng, who were staying in the camp in the capital.
Before getting on the carriage, Madam Pang didn't forget to tell her, "Pang Qingyun, I asked you to write a memorial last night to impeach the son of the Marquis of Loyalty for assault and injury. You must behave well at the court this morning. If I find out you're pretending to obey me but actually disobeying me, I'll skin you alive when we get home."
Pang Qingyun's face flushed the color of liver. "Madam, please give me some face."
Xie Yuheng on the side chuckled softly, "Don't worry, Madam Pang, if Grand Tutor Pang dares to pretend to obey but secretly disobey, I will be the first to run to the Pang Mansion to inform you.
Madam Pang, please don’t rush to send me away. I still want to see what the skinless Master Pang looks like…”
Chen Zhao lifted the carriage curtain and said to Xie Yuheng, "It's getting late. Get up quickly and don't delay the court session."
If he continues talking, Pang Qingyun will lose face.
They still have a common hatred for the enemy at the court this morning.
The three of them got into a carriage together, and the atmosphere was indescribably weird.
When the three of them arrived at the palace gate, many ministers were already waiting outside.
Xie Yuheng was the first to jump off the carriage. Everyone just took a look and didn't think anything of it.
Next came Shen Zhao. Everyone sighed in their hearts that General Chu was really capable. In a few days, he would be able to attend the morning court with the Xie family.
When Master Pang also got off the carriage, everyone's eyes widened.
Did they see it wrong?
General Chu and Grand Tutor Pang actually rode in the same carriage to attend the morning court!
Oh my God, are they still asleep?
The two of them are sworn enemies!
Shen Zhao and Xie Yuheng were fine, but Pang Qingyun felt a little uncomfortable being stared at, especially with the inquiring looks from his colleagues.
It made him feel extremely uncomfortable.
Amid the suspicious looks and suspicions of the crowd, the palace gate finally opened. Pang Qingyun stepped in first, rushing forward quickly, directly widening the distance between himself and the court officials.
The prince's party crossed their legs quickly and followed Pang Qingyun's footsteps. Someone asked, "Master Taifu, what happened? Has the wind direction changed?"
Master Pang is the Crown Prince's uncle and the leader of those supporting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
What Master Pang did represented the Crown Prince.
Now the Grand Tutor and General Chu go in and out together. Does this mean that General Chu is now the prince's man?
Or was it that Master Pang was going to betray the Crown Prince? Everyone was shocked by this idea.
How is this possible? The Queen is a member of the Pang family.
The Pang family is the prince's maternal grandfather's family. Even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. They have a relationship in which they share the same fate. They must not betray the prince.
Pang Qingyun didn't stop and glared at the man angrily, "You are the only one who has a big mouth. You ask what you should ask and don't ask what you shouldn't ask. You know walls have ears. Now it's empty everywhere and everyone is listening. If any news leaks out, can you afford it?
When you go to court later, follow my lead. You know what's happening with the Wu family. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
The man's eyes lit up when he heard this. This was truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Seeing that he was fooled, Pang Qingyun cursed in his heart. He knew that he would be misunderstood if he came to the morning court with the man named Chu.
Madam Naihe insisted that he come with the man surnamed Chu. Not only that, she also told him many times to have a good relationship with General Chu.
Can this relationship be improved? If they improve, it will only harm them.
Now is not the time to unite against a common enemy, it is just a time to dislike each other.
Zheng Shi followed Chen Zhao in small steps, "Brother Chu, Lord Zhao and I went to the Pang Mansion yesterday, but we didn't get any useful information. However, one thing is certain, when you and Master Pang were poisoned, the Chen family was present.
Lord Zhao and I have initially concluded that the poison in your body, Brother Chu, was likely administered by the Chen family. Lord Zhao is currently collecting evidence and should have results in a few days."
"I knew it was the Chen family. Brother Chu was poisoned for no reason that day because he saved Chen Dingtian's daughter. There is no good person in the Wu family and the Chen family. They all deserve to die." Xie Yuheng said indignantly.
Zheng Shi quickly stepped forward and asked, "Xiao General Xie, what happened to the Wu family?"
Members of the Wu family all held important positions in the court, and in the harem there was a noble concubine, Hui, who was the most favored of all the other concubines.
Most people would avoid the Wu family, for fear that something would go wrong and offend someone they shouldn't offend.
Now listening to what General Xie said, what did the Wu family do?
Although they held high positions, no bad words were ever spread about them in Kyoto.
Xie Yuheng just heard the Minister of Justice and Brother Chu calling each other brothers, and Brother Chu did not refute, obviously recognizing him as his brother.
Although he felt a little uncomfortable, he fully supported Brother Chu's decision and said immediately, "Yesterday, that little bastard Wu Yunhai, the son of the Marquis of Loyalty, went to the land on the outskirts of the city..."
Xie Yuheng recounted yesterday's events to Zheng Shi, raised an eyebrow, and said, "I remember that Lord Zheng had just attended the morning court yesterday. Isn't it time for the Right Vice Minister to attend court today?"
"Lord Zhao asked me to follow up on the case of General Chu's poisoning. I have been attending the morning court for the past seven days." Zhao Tiegong saw him appear in the general's mansion yesterday and mistakenly thought that he and Brother Chu had a private friendship.
Doesn't this mean that the case of Chu Di's poisoning is handed over to him?
Zhao Tiegong was afraid of getting involved with Brother Chu now. After all, the General's Mansion was going to hold a celebratory banquet for Madam Chu in the next few days.
Being related to him means having to spend money and send gifts, which is more painful than killing him.
The three of them were walking side by side when suddenly Xie Yuheng let out a wolf howl.
"It hurts...it hurts. Who is that reckless person who plucked my ears?"
"It's me, your father! Why didn't you come home last night? You didn't even send someone home to inform us, leaving your mother and me worried all night long."
Duke Xie held Xie Yuheng in one hand and said to Chen Zhao, "You go on your way. I want to teach this bastard a lesson. Don't delay the court."
As he spoke, he brought Xie Yuheng to the path on the side.
The court officials were not surprised by this. After all, this was not the first or second time that Duke Xie had scolded Young Master Xie in public.
There was no mercy at all, and the main goal was to make Young Master Xie unable to hold his head up in front of everyone.
Duke Xie held Xie Yuheng's ear and walked into the alley, his face stern. "Tell me, why didn't you come back home yesterday?"
Xie Yuheng covered his ears, which were being twisted by his father, and begged for mercy: "Dad is about to fall, please stop twisting. Yesterday, a deputy general in my camp almost died. I worked hard for most of the night to save his life..."
Xie Yuheng repeated what happened yesterday to his father. Duke Xie's eyes were dark and unclear, and he loosened his grip on Xie Yuheng's hand.
He kicked Xie Yuheng and said, "Go to court."
Xie Yuheng covered his buttocks that were kicked and turned around to ask, "Dad, aren't you going?"
"You've pissed me off so much that my chest hurts. Let's go to the Imperial Hospital and ask the doctor to see us. Hurry up and don't delay the court session. The Emperor won't blame me whether I go or not, but you can't say anything. Get out of here, you're an eyesore."
