Rebirth of the Noble Concubine

Chapter 197 197. Maintenance

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Bai Siruo hurriedly pulled at the wound on his back, and his inner clothes also slipped off. The large bruises and red and swollen whip wounds on his back were all exposed to Xiao Muqian's eyes.

Bai Siruo was shy and wanted to call Haitang in, but Xiao Muqian stepped forward and covered her underwear.

He squatted in front of her, looking at Bai Siruo so close for the first time, as if he wanted to carve her appearance into his heart.

"I'm not talking nonsense. Since I dared to swear, I will not break it. You can recover well at home. There is no need to worry about the crazy talk outside. I will not let go of those who harm you!"

When he said this, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and Bai Siruo was frightened.

Her impression of Xiao Muqian had always been that of a refined man with few words, but she had forgotten that he had been in the Liangzhou Army since he was a child, and he was different from the showy people in Dongdu City.

Bai Siruo was moved to tears by being defended in this way.

So he explained solemnly, "I have nothing to do with Lu Yuanfeng. It's just that he saved me a few years ago, so I thought about helping him find an imperial doctor. I didn't expect that he would..."

"I believe you."

There were no fancy words, just three simple words, which completely broke Bai Siruo's seemingly strong heart.

Since her accident, she has been burdened with too much trouble, regret, self-blame, and sadness, but she has endured it all. Even when her mother cried sadly in front of her bed, she still pretended to be strong.

Only at this moment, in front of Xiao Muqian, could she really put down everything, lowered her head and buried herself in the quilt. After a while, she heard a low sobbing cry. Xiao Muqian held her exposed hand and said nothing, but he won.

More than a thousand words.

The turmoil on the Bai family's side has not yet ended, but the impeachment in the court has become increasingly serious.

Yesterday, there was a lot of news about the Bai family, but in any case, it was a matter of the house. At most, it was related to the Bai family's personal ethics and lax discipline of their children. However, the Lin family was different. They used the Gyeonggi Division to search for the missing items for the Bai family.

My daughter, this is a serious crime!

So, in the court, the adults who impeached Lin Wang spoke eloquently one by one, eager to accuse the entire Lin family of treason. Emperor Qi felt impatient at the beginning, and his face became increasingly ugly later on.

"That's enough. You two want to impeach Lin Aiqing. You just want me to convict him. But last night I already slapped him, fined him his salary, and asked him to shut up at home and think about his mistakes. What else do you want?"

"Your Majesty, General Lin's action is to ignore the laws of the imperial court. If it is just such a punishment, I am afraid that others will think that your Majesty is benevolent and will imitate him in the future. Then wouldn't all the guards in the capital be under the command of the general?

Listen to the king’s orders? How can you do that!”

The speaker is a member of the Weiguo Gong party, and he is the one who is most ruthless in this impeachment.

If they could remove Lin Wang from the post of commander of the Gyeonggi Division and arrange for their people to take over, wouldn't the entire Eastern Capital City be under their control?

The more he thought about it, the more ferocious he became in his impeachment, and he pretended to be an outspoken remonstrator, which made Emperor Qi sick for a while.

"Am I not benevolent? If I were not benevolent, I would die ten or a hundred times just because of the dirty things you do."

When Emperor Qi said this, he looked at Duke Wei, and his warning was self-evident.

The official, who was originally filled with righteous indignation and vowed to remonstrate to the death, suddenly froze, and then was lightly swept away by Emperor Qi. His face was as pale as snow, and he lay prone on the ground, not daring to say any more words.

The result of Meng Da's overnight investigation was indeed what the Bai family said. Duke Wei instigated the man to kidnap the Bai family's daughter. Now rumors are spreading outside, ruining the Bai family's daughter's reputation. If Bai Siruo is really forced to death, then

The Bai family and the Wei family are in a fight to the death.

After serving as king for many years, he has become proficient in weighing the pros and cons in the court and the way of an emperor.

It was necessary to both attack the mountain and frighten the tiger, but also to check and balance the situation. Therefore, it was necessary to favor the Bai family in this matter and not let the Wei family succeed alone, so he spoke without any doubt.

"Lin Wang has a reason for this matter and has already expressed repentance. I have punished him and beaten him. If there are still people who want to hold on to him, then I will give him the position of commander of the Gyeonggi Division.

Whenever there is a thief and troublemaker in the capital, I will punish him from all nine tribes!"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers who loudly remonstrated lowered their heads.

If the water is clear, there will be no fish, let alone where there are people. How can there be no bad people at all?

It was clearly Emperor Qi's statement to protect the Lin family.

As a minister, if you have to go against your superior, you will either be a lonely minister who refuses to remonstrate, or you will be a traitor who plots rebellion. They are neither of them. The reason why they are like this is just to gain promotion and promotion.

When Duke Wei heard this, he also knew that the matter had probably been exposed. The most important thing at the moment was the Ninth Prince's expedition. If this was delayed, it would be difficult to realize what they planned.

Since Emperor Qi wanted to protect the Bai family, he simply took a step back and said to Emperor Qi, "Your Majesty, there seems to be a different interpretation of the arrest of Mr. Bai's granddaughter. In order to protect the reputation of the Bai family, please your Majesty to eliminate these things.

The only way to clear up the rumors is to clear the Bai family's daughter."

They are both old foxes. They didn't say anything clearly, but they already knew each other's meaning.

Since the Wei family had given in, they naturally wanted to give some favors to the Bai family. After thinking for a moment, Emperor Qi directly ordered, "According to my decree, Bai Siruo, the daughter of the Bai family, will immediately be promoted to the princess. She will be given the title of Anping and a fiefdom."

For Qizhou. When Mu Qian returns from the expedition with the army, he can prepare to marry as a royal princess. As for the gangster who kidnapped people, they are probably the remnants of the traitors. Bai Xiang has worked hard for the Jin Dynasty for half his life, but he has become a thorn in their side and they cannot deal with him.

Just attack the Bai family's daughter, she is hateful and can be killed!"

When he said this, he narrowed his eyes and said to Duke Wei, "Leave this matter to Duke Wei, and be sure to investigate all the remaining gangsters behind him!"

Wipe your own butt by yourself. Everyone understood what Qi Emperor did, so he once again shouted long live!

When the imperial edict was delivered to the Bai family, gongs and drums were beaten.

The people who were watching the excitement did not see the adulterous man and the Bai family's treatment of their eloped daughter. Unexpectedly, they heard the news about the Bai family's daughter Jin Feng.

The previous county head only had a good reputation, but now the position of the county head includes a fiefdom, which is three points more powerful than his mother, Princess Wen Yi.

This can be regarded as a great success and a chance of survival from a desperate situation.

After the Bai family received this grace, the rumors changed direction again.

Why, in the early years when Prime Minister Bai was on his way to another place, he raided the home of a powerful man who was a slave to the common people, and was hated for it.

Why did that child come here to take revenge on the Bai family, so he was kidnapped?
