Liu was thinking about her third brother in prison and hoping that Marquis Wu'an would come back soon.
Lingxiu Bo was also worried. This time, the emperor did not let him accompany him to Lingxiao Mountain to offer sacrifices to heaven. It was obvious that the emperor was really angry with them.
While running around for his third brother, he was also a little worried about his sister.
That is Liu. It was told at the time that as long as she treated the child left by Wu'an Hou's legitimate wife well, and that the child would not pose any threat to her, she would still be the legitimate mother and she should still be filial to her.
But she refused to listen and insisted on fighting for the position of the prince. Then fight for it well, or you can let Chen Nian ruin you.
Or just kill it when it's young, which is much easier than it is now.
As a result, he secretly drugged her and poisoned her to death. It would have been a good thing, but he didn't kill her and even implicated his third brother.
Uncle Lingxiu had a hunch that his third brother was in trouble this time.
As for what his third brother did, it would be fine if no one exposed it, but if it was exposed, the emperor would definitely not forgive him.
Especially during this time when disasters are hitting large areas of the south!
Being exposed at this time would be like adding fuel to the fire.
Even at this point, I don’t know if I can save my life.
It was useless for Lingxiu Bo to worry. The emperor was not in the capital, so he didn't dare to take any other action.
Even when Liu returned to her parents' home during the Chinese New Year, she was scolded by her mother, the old lady of Lingxiu's mansion. This had never happened before.
It can be seen that her mother was also angry with her younger sister because of the incident involving her third brother.
But she is his biological sister, and he can't just ignore her. Uncle Lingxiu sighed in worry.
After a few days, most of the officials who went to Lingxiao Mountain to offer sacrifices to the sky returned.
The prince also returned. Lingxiu Bo was still thinking about how to go to the emperor again to plead for his third brother, but it turned out that the emperor was ill and could not see anyone for the time being.
Let Prime Minister Xu assist His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in handling state affairs first.
Not being able to see the emperor, Lingxiu Bo had no choice but to shamelessly come to Wu'an Hou, "My Lord, brother-in-law, please help me, please, please, the emperor.
After all, my third brother is your uncle, so if you don't want to give face to others, just do it for the sake of Ke'er and the other children, okay?"
Lingxiu Bo didn't dare to play the emotional card with Liu, so he could only bring out Chen Ke, Chen Lan and others.
He knew that Marquis Wu'an had always loved his sister's children since they were young, and he hoped that he could speak a few good words for the sake of these children.
With Shen Nian's merits, as long as Wu'an Hou is willing to plead for mercy, the emperor will definitely give him this face.
When Wu'an Hou heard about this, he immediately said displeasedly, "My Lord, please find someone else. I don't have the ability to speak on this matter."
How could he have the nerve to ask the emperor to spare the murderer who assassinated his son!
He now realized that Shen Nian was increasingly favored by the emperor, and it was impossible for him to favor his other son at this critical moment.
Lingxiu Bo refused to give in. Seeing that Wu'an Hou refused to agree, he simply refused to leave. Wu'an Hou was so angry that he yelled at him, "If you have the guts, go and tell the emperor yourself. I will at most not add fuel to the fire. I've already let him go because we're relatives."
Lingxiu Bo was waiting for these words. He stood up and bowed with a smile, "Thank you very much, brother-in-law."
As long as Marquis Wu'an doesn't interfere, he believes that his third brother will have no problem keeping his life.
Before leaving, he curiously asked, "What disease did the emperor have? Why didn't he attend court as soon as he came back?"
"No comment!" Wu'an Hou replied angrily.
They and the prince came back first, as agreed before they came back. The emperor also returned to Beijing, but he was sick and needed to recuperate for a while.
This is to prevent those with ulterior motives from knowing that the emperor has not returned to the capital, which would put the emperor in danger.
"What about Chen Nian? Why can't I see him?" Uncle Lingxiu felt that something was wrong and asked tentatively.
"I was sent by the emperor to do something." Marquis Wu'an said in a very impatient tone.
Uncle Lingxiu smiled awkwardly, not angry, and walked away without asking any more questions.
As soon as he got back, he went to the officials with whom he had a good relationship to inquire about the news. It didn't take much effort for him to find out what he wanted to know.
After returning, he thought for a while and revealed the news to Liu.
When Liu received the news from her eldest brother, she was stunned for a moment, not knowing what it meant.
It was only when I saw Chen Ke's legs, which had not been in good condition due to injury, that I suddenly understood.
Now that there is a plague and refugees everywhere on the road, it is her opportunity.
Liu thought that success or failure depended on this one move. If they could never return to Beijing, then why should she worry so much?
Once I figured it out, I immediately arranged for someone to make the arrangements.
For the moment, she couldn't even take care of the girls in Jinglan Garden. It wouldn't be too late to deal with them after she succeeded.
Marquis Wu'an didn't know that Liu had started to act up again, and was happily praising Shen Nian to the old lady.
The old lady was also happy, calling her grandson a good one all the time, as if she had never disliked Chen Nian before.
If Xia Tian were here, he would definitely complain about the hypocrisy!
It’s a pity they don’t know.
The two were still inspecting the villages in Xinping Town. The plague had been brought under control, and it had been almost a month since they came out. The emperor couldn't delay any longer, so they discussed returning to Beijing first.
The main reason was that Shen Nian didn't dare to let the emperor return to the capital alone, for fear that something might happen on the way, so he could only hurry to arrange things in Xinping Town first.
"Mayor Qian, the plague is under control here. I've given you the prescription for it. The rest is up to you and County Magistrate Bai. You must do a good job of disinfection."
County Magistrate Bai is the county magistrate of Jintai County.
I went back to the county town these days to deal with other things.
Shen Nian could only tell Mayor Qian first. He felt that Mayor Qian was more reliable than County Magistrate Bai.
"I understand. Please rest assured, Lord Shen. I will take care of the aftermath and report to you in time." Mayor Qian quickly agreed.
