Bai Chen crouched down and stared at her quietly. The stench of alcohol was so pungent that it almost made him dizzy!
Bai Chen pinched his nose in disgust. If it were someone else, he would have kicked them away long ago.
But looking at Wan Ruo in front of him, even the smell of alcohol on her seemed to be full of the scent of hormones!
On the other side, Mrs. Su supported Wei Qingshan and arrived at the residence of the General Who Assists the State.
Before they could enter the gate, they were stopped by the guards outside.
"What do you mean? Don't you even recognize me?" Mrs. Su angrily questioned when she saw this.
"Sorry, miss. We were just following the general's order, so we can't let you in!" the guard said apologetically.
Hearing this, Mrs. Su was a bit shocked. How was it possible? Could she not even return to her natal family now?
"I don't believe it. I'm going in!" Mrs. Su tried to barge in when she saw this.
"Miss, please don't make things difficult for us!"
"Yes. The general has given the order. We don't dare to let you in!"
At this moment, looking at her unconscious daughter beside her, Mrs. Su couldn't help but feel grief-stricken!
She had never thought that her parents would be so heartless to her. She stared at the two guards with a resentful look in her eyes.
Even if I have to die, I will go in and find out!
Just as the two sides were arguing, the big gate suddenly opened wide, and an old lady came out.
"Stop!" At the order, the two guards let go of their blocking hands.
They respectfully shouted, "Madam!"
This person was Mrs. Fu, Zhang's mother. She was already 80 years old, but she looked very elegant.
"Mother, look. Qingshan is still unconscious. Can you let us in first? Daughter is begging you!" The always arrogant Zhang suddenly felt a bit broken!
These troublesome things came too fast.
"Lan'er, it's not that I don't want to help you. But when your father pleaded with the emperor, the emperor subtly warned us not to interfere. We are also helpless... Your father is old. You should understand your father!"
"This is some travel money I prepared for you. Take it first. This is all I can do for you!" The old lady stuffed the money bag in her hand into Mrs. Su's hand and turned to go in.
Mrs. Su watched helplessly as the big gate in front of her closed tightly. What was closed was not just a gate...
At this moment, it suddenly started to rain heavily. It was really like a leaky house in a continuous rain!
Mrs. Su looked up at the sky, letting the rain hit her face.
She didn't know whether it was rain or tears flowing down her cheeks.
There wasn't much time left for grief. She still had her daughter to take care of. She dragged her exhausted body and mind and walked in the heavy rain.
She found an inn and stayed there first.
Qingshan, who was already unconscious, caught a fever after getting caught in the rain.
Mrs. Su had to go out to find a doctor in the rainy weather.
She knocked on the doors of several medical clinics, but no one was willing to open the door for her. Finally, after her continuous efforts, she finally invited a doctor.
Mrs. Su brought the doctor to the inn. After the doctor examined Qingshan, he instructed a few words, "She was overly frightened and caught a chill. Take a few doses of medicine first and see how it goes!"
"Take these medicine packages and boil them. After you finish the medicine, I'll write you a prescription. Then you can go to the pharmacy to get the medicine!"
"Okay. Thank you, doctor!" Mrs. Su replied gratefully.
Then Mrs. Su sent the doctor out. She asked the servant of the inn to take the medicine packages to decoct.
She sat by the bed. She didn't even have time to change her soaking-wet clothes.
She gently stroked Qingshan's sweaty forehead. She still had a fever.
Thinking about what had happened in the past few days, she couldn't accept it for a moment. Looking at her daughter, she whispered, "Qingshan, you must live well! My good daughter!"
On the other side, Si Hongxi entered the palace.
Sun Wu, who was beside the emperor at this time, had already complained about him before.
"I heard you also went to the prime minister's residence?" the emperor asked coldly.
Si Hongxi glanced at Sun Wu. Looking at his proud look, he knew that this guy must have said something bad about him in front of the emperor!
"Your Majesty, yes!"
"Go down first!" the emperor ordered Father Sun to go out first.
Father Sun looked at Si Hongxi proudly, as if to say, "You're going to be scolded!"
Sure enough, after Sun Wu went out, the emperor flew into a rage, "You still have time to go to the prime minister's residence!"
Sun Wu was eavesdropping outside. Hearing the emperor's angry voice, he couldn't help but smile secretly, and then happily left!
But he didn't know that after he left, the emperor continued, "Don't you know how to take good care of your own body?"
Wh...at? "I heard you were sick. Do you know how worried I was? You!"
"Your Majesty... You already know?" Si Hongxi said softly.
The emperor said in a low voice, "Yes! The people below reported early this morning that that guy Wei Zhong died in prison. He was killed! Do you have any clues?"
"Your Majesty, I think, just as I told you before, Wei Zhong colluded with people in the palace and intended to rebel. He told me this himself. But at this moment, the evidence in my hand is not enough to find out who the person who intended to rebel is. But I believe there will be an answer soon!" Si Hongxi explained.
"I know. This person must be one of my three sons, or maybe more than one! You can handle it boldly. Even if it's my own son, if he intends to rebel, I will never tolerate it!"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Then the emperor asked again, "What exactly happened in that prime minister's residence?"
Hearing the emperor's question, Si Hongxi was sure that Sun Wu must have said something. He said seriously, "I went to the prime minister's residence just to ask Su Qinglan how much she knew about Wei Zhong before she left. But she may not know much. But when I got to the prime minister's residence, Father Sun..."
Seeing that Si Hongxi seemed hesitant to speak, the emperor asked, "What did he do?"
"He actually searched the bodies of Mrs. Su and her daughter! Your Majesty, although he is a eunuch, for Qingshan, a young unmarried girl, to be touched by him like that is really unbearable! He used your Majesty's name to seek his own self-interest. It's really despicable!" Si Hongxi said seriously.
Hearing what Si Hongxi said, the emperor also frowned tightly. This eunuch actually did such a disgusting thing!
The emperor replied coldly, "Yes, I know. I will definitely punish him!"
Although the emperor said so, Si Hongxi knew that Father Sun had served the emperor for many years. How could the emperor be willing to punish him severely?
Si Hongxi knew the emperor too well. He continued, "Your Majesty, I know that Sun Wu has served you for many years. But you're not unaware of his small actions around you. It's just that because he has served you for many years and is deeply in your favor, you turn a blind eye and don't care about him, which has made him more and more presumptuous! Your Majesty, you can't be so indulgent anymore!"
Although Si Hongxi was right, it was not easy for the emperor to have someone who understood his mind. And now Si Hongxi wanted to get rid of him. How could the emperor bear it?
Then Si Hongxi came out. Father Sun looked at Si Hongxi proudly, "My lord, I have a friend who played with eagles all his life, but finally got his eyes pecked out by an eagle. Don't you think it's funny?"
Hearing this, Si Hongxi snorted and replied, "It's still too early to say whether it's funny or not, isn't it?"
Just then, two guards suddenly appeared and arrested Sun Wu.
