Chapter 343 Accept
The Minister of Rites, who had drawn up a blueprint for his life, followed Xiao Yu in a daze with a heart that was about to drown, and walked towards the bedroom of Princess Da Qi.
Concubine Qi was lawless and murderous. The emperor announced her crimes publicly in the Golden Palace and posted them on the imperial edict for the whole world to see.
No matter how noble her background was, her position as Concubine Qi was taken away from her.
At the moment, she is simply the princess of Da Qi. Due to this political identity, the emperor has done his utmost to send her back to Da Qi. He is so courteous and considerate that no one can find any fault with her.
The Minister of Rites looked at the door that had been closed for several days and slowly opened. The expression in his eyes changed from emptiness to panic. For a moment, he didn't know how he should look at the princess of Da Qi.
Fortunately, Xiao Yu did not give him the opportunity to embarrass himself.
As soon as the door opened, Xiao Yu raised his hand and waved, and a team of imperial guards rushed in. In no time, they tied the person up and brought her out. When she came out, they put a black hood on her head.
Xiao Yu stood beside the Minister of Rites, smiling, "Master Xu, don't be awkward. She can't see you."
The Minister of Rites' back stiffened when he heard this and he gritted his teeth in hatred.
Xiao Yu didn't even look at the Minister of Rites again. He watched the imperial guards escort out all the people from Da Qi in the palace. He immediately turned around and left with a gloomy expression.
The Minister of Rites didn't even have the chance to go home as he was forced into the team and set off directly.
When the news reached the home of the Minister of Rites, his wife was so anxious that she rushed to Duke Xue's mansion, but was stopped at the gate.
The wife of the Minister of Rites looked at the gatekeeper in astonishment, "What do you mean? Why are you stopping me? Who do you think you are? What qualifications do you have to stop me? I want to see the Duke!"
The servant boy leaned against the door with a forced smile.
"As you said, I am really nothing and I have no qualifications, so why do you think I dare to stop you?"
The wife of the Minister of Rites was extremely anxious and shocked. "Did the Duke ask you to stop me? I don't believe it! I don't believe it! Let me in."
The servant rolled his eyes, took out a big broom from behind the gate, and swept it towards the wife of the Minister of Rites, "Move aside, move aside."
The wife of the honorable Minister of Rites had never suffered such humiliation before. The big broom swept across her embroidered shoes and her dress. Her face turned ashen and full of shame. She bit her lip to hold back the tears in her eyes, looked hatefully at the door plaque of Duke Xue's mansion, and turned away.
Duke Xue watched the woman die without helping, but she couldn't just watch her master go to Da Qi to send someone away.
On the way there, who knows what we will go through, and whether we can come back alive... In all likelihood, it is impossible to come back alive.
After leaving Duke Xue's Mansion, she turned around and went to several other aristocratic family mansions. However, wherever she went, she was rejected. The few families she had a good relationship with all refused to see her.
The wife of the Minister of Rites truly felt the fickleness of the world.
Can……
Just let it go like that?
Just watch his family members die?
She was unwilling to accept it.
Unable to find help in Kyoto, she simply sent someone to chase after Princess Da Qi's team.
Xiao Yu followed Su Qingqing's instructions and rode his horse at the end of the team.
Looking at Mr. Jin from the Weiyuan Escort Agency who was leading the way, Xiao Yu narrowed his eyes slightly. He always felt that he seemed to have seen this Mr. Jin somewhere before.
When he was still the bastard who was looked down upon in the Rong'an Marquis's Mansion, he must have met this Mr. Jin.
Where can I see...
Where can I see it?
Xiao Yu frowned slightly, trying hard to recall his past memories. As he was walking forward, he suddenly heard the rumbling sound of a carriage from behind. Xiao Yu's thoughts were collected, and he looked back, and saw an ordinary carriage catching up with him. The driver...
From the family of the Minister of Rites.
Xiao Yu curled up a smile on his face and turned his horse to meet him.
Seeing Xiao Yu coming, the wife of the Minister of Rites stopped her carriage. She was eager to get off the carriage and talk to Xiao Yu, but Xiao Yu raised his hand to stop her, "We have to hurry on our way. If you have anything to say to the Minister, I will tell him."
The wife of the Minister of Rites opened her eyes wide, with fear in her eyes, "Can't I see him? The one who made the mistake was the princess of Da Qi, not him, he..."
Xiao Yu smiled and interrupted her, "Madam, do you really think so? Then why did His Majesty send him to deliver the person? This mission should not be his responsibility no matter what."
After a skillful pause, Xiao Yu continued, "Last night, Imperial Physician Liu was arrested."
The wife of the Minister of Rites felt as if her head was exploding.
Imperial Physician Liu was arrested, and he gave away their family's parents.
But why did His Majesty only target their family members and not Duke Xue?
Xiao Yu looked at the expression on her face and spoke in a calm voice, as if with a hint of temptation, "Duke Xue submitted a letter to Your Majesty last night, expressing his willingness to go to Guangdong and Guangxi to relieve the disaster. "
The wife of the Minister of Rites felt a pang in her heart.
Last night, it was still uncertain whether Imperial Physician Liu’s case would be successful, but Duke Xue submitted a memorial?
She looked at Xiao Yu, her heart was in turmoil. For a moment she didn't know whether to believe Xiao Yu or what to do. But it was true that Duke Xue had stayed behind closed doors and would not see anyone today.
"Master Xiao, please be flexible and let me see our master."
As she spoke, she stuffed a bag of gold ingots that she had prepared in advance into Xiao Yu's hands.
Xiao Yu did not refuse and accepted it directly, but he did not change his words, "For the sake of money, I can only say that I will bring the person back alive for you, but you definitely cannot meet him, there are people from the Su family army here."
The wife of the Minister of Rites was stunned, and seemed to not understand what Xiao Yu said.
Xiao Yu added, "I am only loyal to Your Majesty."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The wife of the Minister of Rites fell back into her seat in despair. Xiao Yu said that if she was not allowed to see the Minister of Rites, then she would definitely not be able to see him.
Giving up the idea, she began to ponder the meaning of Xiao Yu's words.
Xiao Yu said that he was only loyal to His Majesty, but there were also people from the Su family army in the team, so he could not let her meet the Minister of Rites.
That means, Your Majesty is not the one who wants the Minister of Rites's appointment, but Su Qingqing is?
So, it means that Your Majesty and Su Qingqing are not united in their views on the matter of Princess Da Qi?
She seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and immediately said to the driver: "Hurry, hurry, go back home."
The driver whipped the carriage and it sped away.
When she got home, she quickly changed her clothes and handed the sign directly to the palace.
She wants to see His Majesty.
When the wife of the Minister of Rites arrived at the Imperial Study, Rong Que had just finished reading the memorials sent from Guangdong and Guangxi.
