Chapter 1217. How about we tell others that our elder sister is a boy?
In the short past year, the officialdom of the capital city had experienced many things that kept it from becoming chaotic, even when Li Nishang rebelled, even when the Eighth Prince sent people to assassinate her in the street, or when His Majesty Bian cleaned up the court later, and not long ago, when the old Grand Tutor and the Grand Preceptor worked together to clean up the traitors in Mobei.
Every time, many people died and many people were arrested. The big prison alone could not hold so many people, so they had to use the prison cells in the county town near the capital.
But without exception
There is no chaos in the court!
Without exception, those who were upright either just watched coldly or joined in, with the righteous spirit in their hearts not disturbed at all.
An old minister was eating peanuts and drinking wine and said, "The emperor is still alive, why is there chaos in the court? Everyone is convinced by that little girl."
Although he slapped himself immediately after he finished speaking, the old woman next to him was so scared that she quickly covered his mouth.
But he knew clearly that no matter how big the incident was or how many officials died, the present Daxia would not be in chaos.
Many people have witnessed the empress sitting on the dragon throne's tricks, watched her gamble her life time and time again, and they are all convinced in their hearts. Although her power is not as great as that of the previous emperor, she is showing signs of catching up.
But now
She is sick!
Moreover, since this emperor ascended the throne, even during the most difficult two and a half years, he remained diligent and never missed the morning court. That was after he married the empress. He missed one or two times in the past few months, but it was understandable and no one said much. Instead, they wondered why he only had such a short rest.
But now, the emperor is ill, and not only does he ignore state affairs, he even refuses to accept all memorials to the emperor.
People are in panic.
Especially the officials of various departments in the court, they went crazy and started to thoroughly investigate all officials without going home at all.
The court is a bit chaotic.
This is especially true among the people!
As people were talking, things seemed to be completely wrong. It seemed that everyone had suddenly lost interest in the martial arts performance that had been all the rage in the capital not long ago.
He just looked at the patrol camp, Jingzhao government officials, and ghostwriters talking all over the street.
Old Grand Tutor Su Wenqing had been busy all day and had just returned home, but he did not dare to rest. Instead, he looked up at Yang Shanchang who had come to his house without any scruples and said, "I have heard about it."
Su Wenqing looked exhausted.
Su Qin took some simple food and put it aside. Noticing the old master's gaze, Su Qin immediately bowed and left.
Originally these things were done by Su Liushi, and later when Su Liushi got pregnant, she became Su Zhangshi. However, Su Qinshi came today, and this was the first time she met Su Wenqing since she came back.
But I didn't want to say a word.
But Su Qin also knew that the matter was serious, so she didn't think too much about it.
I just thought that it was already dark and I still had to be busy. Should I prepare more food?
After Su Ziyu spoke a few words to Su Qinshi, he asked someone to watch the gate and bowed to Yang Shanchang.
Su Ziyu said, "Dad, the third brother asked someone to investigate, and I also went to find the people in the Shen Ce Palace, but they couldn't find out how the news was leaked. Commander Li said that he would ask Commander Yan and Concubine Sun to check the palace, and it should be the news that leaked from the palace."
Su Wenqing looked at Su Ziyu, who was sweating profusely. Thinking that his son had just returned today and had been busy with this matter, he said, "Sit down and have a rest first. We still have to go to the hall office later."
Su Ziyu nodded, and then said: "However, the memorial sent by my elder brother and sister-in-law to the palace said that His Majesty accepted it, and all the others were rejected."
Su Wenqing said: "Only the eldest daughter-in-law was accepted, and all the others were beaten back."
Su Ziyu nodded, "Yes, Xuancheng and Jiulang said they were sent back, and Lu Diao Si and Miss Xia went to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Central Secretariat to read out the edict of the Empress respectively. Those who wanted to enter the palace to see the Emperor were all stopped by Aunt Sun and Feng Diao Si."
After saying that, after looking at Yang Shanchang, Su Ziyu said, "Although I only heard it from Commander Li, it is said that both Mr. Zhang and Mr. Mo were invited to stay in the palace."
Su Wenqing sighed: "Besides what I heard before, what else did the people say?"
Yang Shanchang picked up the tea and said, "When I came here, I heard a lot of rumors. For example, His Majesty got seriously ill in Yandi, and some said he was sick from overwork, and some said he was assassinated. Of course, some said His Majesty got angry and his heart was burning with anger. These are all normal fabrications and guesses, and no one has come forward yet."
Su Wenqing looked at Yang Shanchang: "What did you notice?"
Yang Shanchang looked at Su Wenqing: "Didn't you notice?"
Su Wenqing glanced at Su Ziyu.
Su Ziyu immediately clasped his fists and turned to leave.
Watching Su Ziyu leave, Su Wenqing said, "You shouldn't have come. His Majesty specifically asked Ziyu to come here today. This is a call for me. I have to cooperate with this matter. It has nothing to do with you! And you know, Ziyu is back. Whether His Majesty agrees or not, I plan to retire completely. This is the last thing I want to do!"
Yang Shanchang said: "How many people do you think will see your majesty's intentions?"
Su Wenqing shook his head: "Not much, but it doesn't matter if you can see it. It depends on how many people pretend to be deaf and dumb and cooperate."
Yang Shanchang said, "So I came. If I didn't come, it would be abnormal. Those who can see are all in high positions. The people below are actually no different from the common people. How can they know what the court is? Do they understand the court by listening to some gossip about the officialdom? In their eyes, the court is us high officials. So since Your Majesty has this plan, we must follow it."
Su Wenqing was silent for a while before looking at Yang Shanchang: "If you plan to go to Prince An's Mansion later, just go back to your own mansion or stay with me! It's not your turn to be the bait! How long have you been quiet? Why do you have to stop making trouble?"
Yang Shanchang looked at Su Wenqing and asked, "Is there anyone more suitable than me?"
Su Wenqing stood up and pointed at Yang Shanchang: "Yang Shanchang! Although I don't know why you did that! You didn't tell me what the late emperor said to you! But I can tell you, I can probably guess something. Your Majesty is smarter than you and me, and so can she! So, just be a good 'lady' and wait to go back to your hometown to retire. It's not your turn to get involved in this matter! You must stay alive!"
Yang Shanchang raised his eyes and looked at Su Wenqing: "You and I quarreled like this, spread it to the outside world. Let them see clearly that we had a quarrel."
After that, Yang Shanchang stood up and said, "I came here for this purpose. Later, I will not only go to Prince An's Mansion, but also to this matter."
At this point, Yang Shanchang drank the tea in the cup, and then his face became serious: "There is a question. If your majesty is really ill, what should we do if this incident can be used to lure out those hidden Shu traitors? Zhang Wenjing doesn't seem to be lying."
…
It’s still the Su Mansion, but unlike the two old masters, the Yimei Courtyard has three cobblers.
Wu Daming looked at Su Qingning and said, "I saw Master's wife yesterday. She was in very good health. Really! Master teased me at that time, and she beat Master. I saw that Master looked very painful."
Su Qingning frowned: "I'm a doctor, I have the final say on illnesses, it's not a question of whether she got better the moment before."
Wu Daming frowned, "Then, then, then I don't know either. I was suddenly sent back today, and Master also didn't let me see Master's Wife in the afternoon."
Su Qingning frowned: "That's why it proves that something happened to my sister-in-law. Otherwise, why wouldn't she let you see her? My aunt was so anxious, but she didn't even see her."
Su Liheng was frustrated with the ring on his finger that Youli gave him, saying it was soaked in medicine. He looked at Wu Daming with a serious face: "Haven't I been going to various markets and farms outside frequently recently? I heard some unpleasant things."
Su Qingning looked at Su Liheng: "What do you mean?"
Wu Daming looked at Su Liheng in confusion
Su Liheng looked at Wu Daming: "Big sister and sister-in-law, have you heard the gossip about them outside, and then talked about this in Lingqi Pavilion?"
Wu Daming and Su Qingning immediately knew what the gossip was about.
After all, the whole capital was talking about it, and they couldn't help but hear it.
Wu Dameng immediately shook his head: "Okay"
But just as he opened his mouth, he remembered something.
At that time, an official came to see my master's wife and told her about the gossip outside, but she didn't care much.
But as soon as the official left, the master became very angry and said something like, "There's something wrong with these people's eyes. How can they be so sure whether someone is a man or a woman!"
The master's wife ignored the master and just talked to herself.
And the master kept muttering about how angry he was.
Wu Daming thought about this, blinked, and said, "Master's wife doesn't seem to care much, but Master cares a lot."
Su Liheng was stunned: "Does your master care about you?"
Wu Daming nodded immediately.
Su Qingning slapped Su Liheng's thigh, causing Su Liheng to grimace in pain.
And Su Qingning said: "That's right! Big sister cares, so sister-in-law cares even more, right?"
Su Liheng didn't come to his senses, but after thinking carefully, he nodded immediately and said, "I was just thinking, maybe this made our sister-in-law angry, otherwise what else could make her angry?"
Su Qingning looked at Su Liheng: "It's not necessarily because he was angry, but this matter is definitely related."
Su Liheng frowned, sat a little further away from Su Qingning, and then said: "Anyway, I think we have to find out who spread these rumors."
Su Qingning asked back, "How can we find him? We didn't see your father. My uncle sent people to look for him but couldn't find him. The capital is so big and it's full of people from the underworld. How can we find him? Unless we can wash away these rumors."
Su Liheng asked: "How? To put it bluntly, it's because my elder sister is a woman that those people took advantage of her and said that she and my sister-in-law couldn't have offspring, so this happened. Can we turn my elder sister into a man?"
Su Qingning squinted at Su Liheng, stood up, walked to Su Liheng, and slapped Su Liheng's fleshy back: "That's the way!"
Su Liheng moved his body in pain.
Su Qingning suddenly realized: "Let's spread the news and say that the elder sister is a boy! Everyone has been deceived, anyway, anyway..."
Su Liheng asked Wu Daming to rub his back, but he was too fat and his arms were too short to reach it.
On the other hand, he watched Su Qingning stutter.
Su Qingning looked at Su Liheng: "If we spread this out, will we get beheaded?"
Su Liheng immediately said, "What do you think? Is this something you can tell others? Let's not talk about the fact that the elder sister is not a man. Just saying that she is a man, can anyone believe it? You don't know what our elder sister looks like. If you wear a mask, someone might think you are a man. Then if the elder sister wears a mask, no one would think she is a woman."
Su Qingning felt that the little fat man was scolding her, but she didn't know how to refute her, so she could only sit on the stool helplessly: "What should I do? I can't see my sister-in-law and elder sister again. I'm so anxious. People outside are saying that it's desolate and dark. Besides, my teacher and Grandpa Mo have moved to the palace. How big a deal is this?"
Su Liheng pursed his lips: "How about, Da Mengzi, go and say that your master is a man? You will definitely not be beheaded."
Su Qingning glared at him: "You are such a bad guy! This matter. Eh?"
Just as Su Qingning was about to pull Wu Daming over, her expression suddenly froze.
Because just behind Su Liheng, a person dressed in black and wearing a mask appeared in a flash.
Su Qingning blinked and immediately turned her eyes away: "You two! Look at me!"
The voice was trembling a little.
Dirty thing!
It's definitely dirty!
Yi Meiyuan has been saying there are dirty things since the big sister moved in!
Is it true! ?
Su Liheng looked at Su Qingning in confusion.
Wu Daming blinked, his expression froze, and he turned his head to look over.
Su Qingning nervously hugged Wu Daming and even covered Wu Daming's eyes with her hands: "You didn't see anything. The three of us didn't see anything. Let's go! Go outside, outside!!"
But as soon as I said this, I immediately felt a hand on my shoulder, a very cold hand!
Su Qingning immediately stood there, trembling, "I'm a good person, I didn't do anything, I just like to steal Su Liheng's money and tease Xingyue, I haven't done anything else bad, go find Su Liheng, he's a profiteer!"
Su Liheng sat on the stool, looking at the figure in black and wearing a mask that suddenly appeared in front of him. He took a deep breath and pointed at the black figure that suddenly appeared in front of him, "I... you are dirty."
But the next moment, the black shadow looked at Su Qingning: "I think your idea of telling others that I am a man is a good one!"
