Rebirth: The First Daughter and the Ruthless Concubine

Long Mang said that what is related to the majesty and meaning of the emperor is the most cherished thing of the royal family. Now that something has gone wrong, how can he give up so easily!

The third lady cried even more sadly after hearing this. Prime Minister Meng could only comfort her, but there was nothing he could do. At this moment, a girl outside reported: "Master, His Highness the Fifth Prince wants to see you!"

The couple were both startled, and then they hurriedly wiped away their tears, calmed down their emotions, and went out.

Due to the heavy snowfall in Sichuan and Sichuan, many people died of freezing and starvation. Therefore, the emperor specially sent Huangfu Yu to inspect the area on his behalf and open a warehouse to stock grain. Therefore, he was not in the capital these days.

Just after entering Beijing, I heard about what happened in the palace last night. When I heard that Meng Wan was taken into custody, I was naturally worried. However, because I didn’t understand the specific situation, I couldn’t act rashly. So when I passed by the Prime Minister’s Mansion,

So I came in first and asked.

When Prime Minister Meng was leaving, Huangfu Yuzheng jumped off his horse and walked over quickly, looking like he was dusty. When he saw Prime Minister Meng, he grabbed him by the shoulder without waiting for him to salute, "

Prime Minister Meng, what on earth is going on?"

Although the Queen had previously intended to set up a match, Prime Minister Meng did not know when his daughter became so familiar with His Highness the Fifth Prince, causing His Highness to be so worried. However, this is not the time to pay attention to this. The top priority is to find a way to find out quickly.

Only by clearing up the whole story.

So he told the story of last night exactly, and at the end, he said: "Your Highness, I am not an impetuous person, and I never make mistakes when doing things. This time, someone must have deliberately framed me."

Although the two have not known each other for a long time, Huangfu Yu naturally believed in Meng Wan. After all, that woman was not so careless that a dragon and a python could not distinguish each other, but...

"Besides the Prime Minister's Mansion, where did those sachets stay?"

"The Ministry of Rites, besides my Prime Minister's Mansion, is the Ministry of Rites."

Prime Minister Meng said firmly.

"Although Mr. Li from the Ministry of Rites said it was impossible, Wei Chen still firmly believes that the incident with the sachet happened there."

"In that case, I will go to the Ministry of Rites with you to have a look."

It would be great to be able to do this. After all, it is Meng Wan who is in trouble now. Prime Minister Meng has to avoid suspicion more or less. And if the fifth prince goes to inquire, then Mr. Li may be able to avoid some taboos, so it is not certain what he will say.

.

The two of them immediately went out together and hurried to the Ministry of Rites.

Li Yuanshou, the Minister of Rites, obviously did not expect King Yi to come back and hurriedly led a group of officials to salute and greet him. However, Huangfu Yu just waved his hands impatiently and said: "No need to be polite, just get up. I came today just to ask

Ask about the situation of the sachet in the Ceremony Department."

The fifth prince came together with Prime Minister Meng. Anyone with a discerning eye could see the clues. Li Yuanshou was not stupid, so he understood clearly. He immediately took a step forward and said, "If you want to return to Your Highness, what should be said, all the ministers have already spoken to the young master of Dali Temple."

Your Majesty said, this matter really has nothing to do with our Ministry of Rites."

The first sentence was a shirk of responsibility. Huangfu Yu couldn't help but darken his face: "I'm not here to accuse the army. I just want to understand the situation. Just tell me what you know."

Li Yuanshou was stunned, and secretly glanced at Huangfu Yu's face. Seeing that his expression was solemn, he swept away his previous indifferent attitude of not having anything to do with him. Naturally, he knew the seriousness of the matter. He dared not say anything, so he hurriedly sent someone to go.

The responsible official was called.

They just talked about the matter of storing the sachets for the past two days, and took Huangfu Yu and Prime Minister Meng to look at the place. They couldn't see any problems, so in the end the two had no choice but to leave.

When he arrived outside the ceremony department, looking at the sad look on Prime Minister Meng's face, Huangfu said: "Prime Minister Meng, don't worry too much. I believe that Miss Meng has her own destiny and will be fine. Since nothing can be found out now,

You go back to your residence and wait for the news. I will also go to the palace to have a look. If possible, I will definitely intercede for Miss Meng."

How could Prime Minister Meng not shed tears of gratitude when he could say this? After all, he was now considered guilty and could not go to the palace to plead for mercy. It would be great if the fifth prince could help.

He thanked him hurriedly, watched the fifth prince leave, then turned around and returned to the general's mansion with a sigh.

--

At the same time, Huangfu Yu returned to the palace, and the first thing he did was to go to Zhengyang Palace to ask for an audience with the emperor. Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked outside, he saw Meng Junheng kneeling there, and beside him was the internal prisoner who had been chattering and persuading.

"Mr. Meng, if I don't see you, I can't help you. Please stop kneeling here, ah--"

Not moving, still not moving. When Eunuch Fang saw this, he could only sigh and turn around, but he didn't want to face Huangfu Yu's approaching figure. He was obviously stunned, and then he called Qianer hurriedly: "Your Highness, come back.

Already."

Meng Junheng finally reacted and turned to look at Huangfu Yu. Huangfu Yu also looked over, nodded slightly, and then said: "Is Father in there?"

Eunuch Fang nodded, glanced at Meng Junheng again, and then took a step ahead to lead the way for Huangfu Yu.

--

The queen was also inside, talking to the emperor. When she saw Huangfu Yu coming back, she was overjoyed: "You are finally back. I was just talking to your father about whether your trip went well...

"

But before he finished speaking, Huangfu Yu had already knelt down, kowtowed in a dignified manner, and then knelt straight with a solemn expression: "Father, the young lady of the Meng family is innocent, please let her go!

"

One sentence made the queen change her expression slightly.

"You kid, you just came back. What nonsense are you talking about? You don't have to worry about Miss Meng's affairs."

"But..."

"It's nothing to worry about. You just came back now. You must be tired. Go back home and rest first. I will report to your father another day about the inspection."

As he spoke, he winked at Huangfu Yu.

How could Huangfu Yu not understand?

This matter was of great importance, as Prime Minister Meng was implicated, and Meng Junheng was also excluded. The queen mother must have been afraid that if he spoke too much, his father would be offended, but...

"Father--"

"Dali Temple will investigate this matter. You don't need to think too much about it. Just step back!"

The emperor said softly, with a hint of impatience in his tone. But Huangfu Yu was still hesitant. When the queen saw this, she hurriedly snorted.

At this moment, Huangfu Yucai stood up, glanced at the queen, then at the emperor, pondered for a long time, and finally nodded: "Then... I will retire first."

The emperor nodded, and the queen watched him leave. When his figure disappeared from sight, she turned to the emperor: "Yu'er is a child with a good heart and a soft heart. Don't blame him, Your Majesty."

The emperor glanced at her and said nothing. He just raised his voice toward the outside and said, "Here comes the young minister from Dali Temple to see me."
