Chapter 279: Sudden Accident
It had to be said that Ning Jade’s brain was much better than Auntie Ning’s. This statement was not a drop in the bucket. He not only avoided Zhao Su’s words, but also took the opportunity to show his loyalty and block her mouth! This really made Zhao Su impressed with him. But he did not try to settle things yesterday, today on her attitude changed again, this also became really fast.
Do not dwell on it. She said: “We would not dare to take the benefactor as his own, but cousin heart can remember these years under one roof living under the affection, is also can let the father pleased. Yesterday’s matter I do not want to count, these things you also take back, just cousin have to persuade aunt, in the future to stop, everyone is happy. Otherwise aunt so three not two, the next day is bound to affect cousin’s future.”
Based on Aunt Ning’s behavior yesterday, what should be said Zhao Su still have to say. No one had to think that she could be bullied for nothing!
Ning Jade leaned down, “Cousin’s reminder is very true.”
Zhao Su looked at his body that bowed down deeply from the goodness, pursed her lips, and folded back into the courtyard.
This Ning jade was hit in the face by her, actually face does not change color heart does not jump, is a not simple it.
Aunt Ning is sitting in Xing’s side, now she is a guest, before and after and not honest, Xing’s to her can not be as thoughtful as before, accompanied by tea, and did not call sisters-in-law over, have a sentence without a sentence to talk. Auntie Ning had been reluctant to come, so down even more uncomfortable. Seeing the Ning jade over, immediately got up to say goodbye.
Out of the marquis, Aunt Ning asked Ning jade: “What did Sister Su say? Something back, that is, she still does not give face to it?”
“People aren’t not giving face, they just don’t see it.” Ning Jade carried the things to the carriage.
Auntie Ning said, “I told you, that dead girl is a white-eyed wolf, and doesn’t care about us!”
Ning Jade cast a glance over.
Aunt Ning actually saw a trace of dislike from his eyes …….
“Go back.” Ning Jade signaled for her to get in the car.
He himself also sat down in the car, looking through the window at the Marquis Qingyun’s mansion sliding past, he mused, “One thing mother is right, Sister Su is indeed a different person compared to before. She now has a sense of propriety, and a lot of sharpness.”
Aunt Ning looked up.
……
Zhao Su’s attitude towards the Ning family’s mother and son was one of disregard.
After returning to the courtyard, she had nothing to do, so she nagged with a group of maids in the courtyard, asking them what they thought was the most profitable thing to do and what they thought was the best profession to do. Some of them said it was the best for a landlord, some said it was the best for a store, and some said that in a family like the Marquis, a good job would be very stable and good. None of them said they wanted to study more and learn skills.
When Zhao Su was contemplating, Xiao Ju arrived: “Miss, Eunuch Gao of Ci Ning Palace is here.”
She immediately flinched: “What is it?”
“Eunuch Gao said that the Empress Dowager doesn’t have much of an appetite these days, so he’s anxious to see if the girl is free to go into the palace to give the Empress Dowager a change in her diet.”
“I’m free, you tell him to wait, I’ll be right there!”
Based on what she saw of Empress Dowager Lu’s recent condition, it would be strange if she could have an appetite. Just went to go to meet the emperor, to Mrs. Luo that matter with him gossip gossip. That night in the submerged cloud temple, he was an urgent report suddenly turned back to the palace, do not know what, these two days in the dynasty there is no sound out, look at Mrs. peace, hope that has been dealt with.
Zhao Su into the palace, Qing Yun Hou was also the emperor passed to the Qianqing Palace.
“Two days ago, the imperial mausoleum over there to the urgent report, the big governor verified?”
“Just got the return. Emergency report described in the matter is correct, the mountain collapsed, so that the construction of the mausoleum collapsed a corner, buried more than ten people not to mention, the stone beams of the underground palace is also broken. Things out of the sudden, now site people are terrified, and even have rumors out, said …… in short, said some bad words.”
“Specifically said what? Straight talk no harm.”
Marquis Qing Yun sank his breath: “said, the collapse is the founding emperor’s mausoleum, must be the first emperor to establish the country against the fate of heaven, this is the heavens in the punishment, but also said, Da Liang established the country to do a lot of bad things, the kingdom must be how to how–”
“Enough.” The emperor’s brow tightly locked, raised his hand and rubbed, and said: “buried artisans are rescued?”
“Too late to escape a total of twenty-eight, was rescued only three.”
“In accordance with the statute of compassion, to three times the silver to pacify the family, and all must be carried out of the underground palace, returned to the family track buried in the ground.”
“Yes.”
The emperor’s frown is still not unfolded: “this matter out?”
“I have been responsible for the mausoleum construction of the generals to strictly block the news. However ……”
“How?”
“After all, paper can’t wrap fire. There are individual generals are also anxious, listening to rumors, began to disobey the military order to eliminate when the duty.”
The emperor looked at him, after a moment of silence, stood up, paced around the temple a few times with his hands, and then said: “You go to arrange arrangements, I set off in the morning to take a look. Take good measures, and keep my departure from the capital quiet.”
“Yes.”
Marquis Qing Yun decisively retreated.
The Emperor’s Palace stood, took a sip of tea, and also left the door.
Zhao Su to the Ci Ning Palace, first on the dining room to prepare ingredients, ingredients soak hair still need a while of work, she folded back to the Ci Ning Palace, accompanied by the side to see the Empress Dowager Lu copying the scriptures. So two days of work, a thick scripture has been all copied, Zhao Su to help organize the book, and then after the Queen Mother Lu audit, handed over to Luo Yun: “Sent to the Xiangguo Temple, so that the abbot to deal with it.”
This “processing” meaning do not know whether it is burned, or do it with, Zhao Su did not dare to ask more.
Just about to serve tea, outside the eunuch said the emperor came. The emperor entered the door, just with Luo Yun met face to face. The emperor swept her hand, straight into the palace. As if he was surprised that Zhao Su was here, he paused under the threshold, then reached out and scraped her forehead, walking to the couch to greet her.
“Empress Mother.”
Empress Lu sat on the brocade couch, signaling him to sit. “Sister Su went to make some of His Majesty’s favorite drink.”
“No need, I have to leave after reporting a matter.” The emperor sat down at her lower head.
“Go where?” Zhao Su curiously came over.
The emperor glanced at her, then turned to Empress Dowager Lu: “Something happened at the Imperial Tomb, my son has to go and take a look.”
Empress Dowager Lu’s gaze immediately paused.
The Emperor’s next voice became unusually low: “A corner of Father’s underground palace collapsed, the stone beams broke, the generals and craftsmen at the construction site all see this as a sign of great evil, and rumors are spreading. Father’s coffin is still parked next to the underground palace, my son’s heart is also very worried, not only do I not want his soul to be uneasy, but also worried that I am unfilial to cause this consequence. So I have to go there and take care of it before I can come back.”
This speech caused Zhao Su and Empress Dowager Lu to both stand up straight.
“When was this?” Empress Dowager Lu stepped off the foot couch.
