Chapter 126

Yes, Tianmu is afraid of fire

And it's the one you're afraid of.

When you see a candle, you should stay away from it.

But in the last life, before she died, she clearly heard the silly bird crying anxiously and trying to rush into the fire again and again

Such an ugly bird has always cherished its feathers. I wonder if it was burned by fire at that time?

And then she reacted.

The cold wind swept into the corridor. Xu Mingyi held the heavy bird in his arms. He just felt that his heart was suddenly warm and astringent.

Looking down at the counsellor who hid her head in her arms and dared not move, she smiled with some emotion and whispered, "it's not worth my kindness to raise you. I'm a conscientious..."

Then he took his other hand and ran it along the bird's head and said, "it's just such a stupid thing. You can't do it again in the future. It's not easy for Wu Tsui to bring you up."

The big bird didn't know whether he understood it or not, and buried his head deeper.

Xu Mingyi changed his old simplicity and rudeness and patiently carried the big bird back to the room.

Let ah Kui take beef jerky again.

Hearing the words "beef jerky", Tianmu dared to jump down from Xu Mingyi's arms and squat in front of her waiting to be fed.

……

In the restlessness brought by the fire, the sky gradually brightened.

In the early Dynasty, the ministers had different attitudes and opinions about the thunder splitting of Fengtian hall last night.

It was seriously proposed that subsequent repairs should be made.

Some people think this is ominous and should not be repaired in a hurry for the time being.

Several more senior civil servants were very excited about this and shouted that it was a sign of great evil. There was no lack of meaning in their words to let emperor Qingming imitate his own imperial edict.

Although the younger ministers did not want to agree with this statement, they did not dare to speak out rashly.

Many of the rules and statements handed down by their ancestors can not be refuted in a few words.

At the end, all the ministers waited for the first assistant Xia Tingzhen to speak.

"Wei Chen thinks that the top priority now is to stabilize the people's hearts so as not to cause greater unrest under public opinion." Xia Tingzhen said.

The ministers looked at each other.

What does Xia Shoufu mean by his ambiguous words?

Stabilizing the people is naturally the most important thing, but how can we stabilize it?

Is it to let the emperor write an edict to inform the world of his sin, or is there any other way?

When a minister wanted to ask, he only heard emperor Qingming say, "Xia Aiqing is right. I think so."

The people on the Dragon chair always looked calm, and their tone of voice did not fluctuate at this time.

The ministers had their own guesses.

Why do you think your majesty doesn't seem to care much about it?

Or - your majesty and Xia Shoufu have discussed a feasible way to deal with it?

But these guesses did not get a definite answer until he retired from the DPRK, so emperor Qingming had to say, "discuss it tomorrow morning".

"It's a big event to strike Fengtian hall. It's normal that your majesty can't make a decision at the moment... Since ancient times, it's not so easy to write the criminal edict..."

"But the longer it takes, the more trouble it will be."

Out of the noon gate, worried officials whispered a few words.

Some people also took a few quick steps to catch up with Xia Tingzhen and deliberately inquired about one or two.

After all, Xia Shoufu is the one who knows the emperor's thoughts best. Maybe he has made a decision with the emperor secretly.

Xia Tingzhen sneered at the bottom of her heart as her colleagues tried to find out.

This time, he was seriously unsure of the emperor's intention.

In the main courtyard of Xia mansion, Mrs. Xia Xue paced back and forth in the hall anxiously. Even though she knew that she had sent a servant girl to guard in the front yard, she still couldn't help looking out of the hall frequently.

"Madam, the master is back."

The voice of the servant girl made Xue look positive and hurriedly welcomed him out.

Xia Tingzhen, who had just entered the hospital, frowned when she saw that her old wife, who had always been calm, had personally welcomed down the stone steps.

Is this an accident?

"Master, you are back!"

At this time, Xia Tingzhen saw that her face was haggard.

Even if an elderly person can't rest for a night, the difference in appearance will immediately show up.

Xia Tingzhen said, "what happened at home?" before she could ask, Xue asked anxiously, "sir... I heard that Fengtian hall was struck by thunder last night. Is this true?"

Xia Tingzhen's eyebrows wrinkled and tightened.

"Are you so worried about this?"

When did my wife become a gossip who refused to sleep in order to watch the excitement?

"The master doesn't know. It's not that simple!"

Xue's face, who indirectly got the positive answer, became more tense for a time, and there was a trace of panic in his eyes: "yesterday afternoon, a Taoist found the door..."

She told her husband what happened yesterday and what the Taoist said.

Xia Tingzhen changed her face.

Unexpectedly, a Taoist calculated that there would be an accident in Fengtian hall last night?!

And frankly, is it caused by the so-called evil Qi in han'er hospital?

"Why didn't you send someone into the palace to send a letter to me earlier for such an important matter?" Xia Tingzhen asked coldly with anger in her eyes.

Xue's face coagulated.

"... how did I know at first that the master would not return all night, and how could I expect such an effect?"

And it works so well that people can't ignore it!

What's more, there was an accident at this time, and the master knew that it was important - but if nothing happened in Fengtian hall last night, she rashly sent people into the palace to spread a message. The master was afraid that if he turned back, he would blame her for not knowing the importance. He had to ask someone to go into the palace to tell him about this. At present, he was not afraid to attract people's attention.

She had already seen through the two different faces of men.

Xia Tingzhen also knew that the timing was meaningless. She just said it casually. At this time, she immediately asked, "han'er, do you know this?"

Today should be the day for the second son to rest——

"I didn't tell han'er yesterday..."

Xueshi hurriedly said, "and someone suddenly came to the Beijing yamen just now and wanted to review Xu Ying's case one day in advance. It was said that Xu Ying claimed to have some new clues -"

Early review?

Xia Tingzhen's eyes changed: "han'er agreed?"

The five-day review period is only the latest period, and the early review is not without precedent. Only on the premise of insufficient evidence, the court can be opened in advance with the consent of the defendant.

"Don't you know han'er's temperament? He's the most magnanimous and fearless. He's gone with those officials!"

Xue Shi said, "I wouldn't worry about anything before, but the Fengtian temple -"

At this point, I looked eagerly at my husband.

It's so weird that people think and feel scared.

No matter who is behind the scenes, she won't panic like this, but the key is that at present... The other party may not be a "person"!

Who can attract thunder?!

Who can stand such an opponent!
