Because of Bai Qianfan's words, Morong Gan wrote for half a night in the study.
She said, The Prince is someone I care about. Her mouth was wide open, but her words were soft, causing people's heart to feel warm. He was glad to hear it, he admitted. Since that was the case, he also cared about her. In the future, he would treat her better and not lie to her.
He raised his brush and did not continue writing for a long time. Thinking about it, it was really inconceivable, he actually started to care about Bai Rulin's daughter. But it was nothing much, he was a daughter that Bai Rulin didn't want. Because he didn't like his, she threw it to him, thinking that marrying into his would most likely cost his his his life. He didn't like people that Bai Rulin didn't like. On the contrary, he wanted to let her live a better life so that she could go back and slap their faces.
Since Bai Qianfan had already married him, then she would be a member of his Prince Chu Palace.
Just as he had expected, when the case was submitted, it involved the Prince Chu Palace and Prime Minister Bai's Mansion. The ordinary yamen authorities did not dare to accept it, and directly pushed it to the Marble Temple.
Three lives, one was driven mad, and the one who harmed the Prince Chu's concubine had caused such a ruckus, he should be severely punished and killed without mercy. However, the mother of the Imperial Consort Bai was involved, which made things difficult. It was not a rare thing for a direct mother to kill a Shu girl. It was just that the Shu girl now had a backer. Both sides had connections, and neither side could afford to offend her.
The case could not be handled, so he could only drag it out. Morong Gan was not afraid of being dragged, even when it came to the emperor himself.
In the main hall, the Prince Chu and the Prime Minister Bai argued with each other, causing the Emperor to be in a dilemma. On one side was the Prince Chu who held military authority, and on the other was the Prime Minister who held great authority. Although it had caused such a ruckus, it was still a family matter. No matter what, it was done by the servants, so it might be possible for them to misunderstand the matriarch's intentions.
When Mama Qi and Senior Servant Liu arrived at the Marble Temple, they changed their confessions, saying that it had nothing to do with Madame Bai.
Morong Gan was unwilling to let it go, he had clearly made a promise, and made the prisoners take the blame, he wanted to bring the prisoners up to the hall, if Bai Rulin could offer the benefits, he had no gains, he could only intimidate, he did not want his life, did not even want the lives of his family members, did he plan to take them?
The emperor had hinted several times that he wouldn't listen. The emperor knew about the illness between him and Prime Minister Bai, so he had no choice but to agree.
The result was that after waiting for half a day, he received news that the two criminals had committed suicide out of guilt, and this time they were unable to prove anything. Prince Chu was so angry that he wanted to kick Prime Minister Bai's heart, but was held up by someone.
The Emperor was furious and scolded him, a dignified prince, for trying to behave atrociously in public. Was he trying to rebel and not putting him, the Emperor, in his eyes?!
Only then did Prince Chu restrain his emotions and plead for a crime with a red face and thick neck. Since he could plead a crime, the emperor could not really punish him either.
However, he was afraid that Yue Yang would follow him to the underworld and try to take advantage of him, asking him to go along with him and persuade him otherwise.
The Prince Chu rode a horse and the Prince Jin Lord sat in a palanquin. How could he catch up with him? After he entered the Huailin Pavilion, Morong Gan went to take a bath.
If he wanted to vent his anger, he would have to soak in cold water to vent it.
Morong Gan was really angry. He sat in the bath barrel with his eyes closed, looking like a monk meditating. He had always been cautious in this case, guarding against the other party's attacks, determined to fight to the end. He had inserted his own people into the Marble Temple, and let the moves shine, it was impossible for Bai Rulin to go in and kill people, but it was impossible for him to prevent others from seeking death. He lost so badly in this round, and felt apologetic to Bai Qianfan.
Angry claps, water column everywhere, the room is soaked. Lv He, who was waiting outside to serve, felt her heart jump.
Qi Hong sighed, "Who exactly angered this grandpa? When I returned, I didn't look good, so don't blame me for getting into a fight with the Prime Minister Bai again."
Lv He said, "I heard that the case has not been resolved yet. I wonder if there was a problem?"
Qi Hong sighed again, "Who would have thought that it would be my mother who killed my daughter, the wangfei is so pitiful, she couldn't even live a good life, much worse than us."
"The princess consort has followed our master and has felt great pain," Lv He rolled her eyes, "Hurry up and ask the Head Steward to send someone to invite her over. With the arrival of the wangfei, this lord's anger will naturally dissipate. "
Qi Hong pursed her lips and laughed, "That's true, I will go right away."
When Morong Gan came out from his shower and saw Morong Ze leisurely sitting in the parlour drinking tea, he said unhappily, "What are you doing here, being a lobbyist for the emperor?"
Morong Ze exclaimed as he laughed, "My Third Brother, why should I be the emperor's lobbyist? Amongst so many brothers, I'm already close to you, if I knew that you were angry, wouldn't I have come to take a look?"
Morong Gan did not say anything, he lifted his robes and sat down. Qi Hong served the tea, then retreated far away to let the two brothers talk.
Morong Ze tilted his head and looked at him for a long time before laughing, "Third Brother, what are you angry about? Didn't he want to kill Bai Rulin? What's the use of killing his wife? "
"She's the main culprit. Shouldn't we kill her?"
"Even if she was the mastermind, you should still burn the flames on Prime Minister Bai's body and drag him into the water. If not, you should at least skin him alive and teach him a lesson."
Morong Gan rolled his eyes at him, "Even though I hate Bai Rubing, one yard goes to the other. When Bai Qianfan said that, it was all done by the Madame Bai, and it had nothing to do with Bai Rulin."
Morong Ze laughed meaningfully, "Third Brother, so you want to uphold justice for your consort."
"Of course, she is This King's direct wife, shouldn't she?"
"Yes, of course." Morong Ze blinked his eyes, and his smile became even more ambiguous: "Wangfei is Third Brother's daughter-in-law, she can't even feel pain, if she is bullied, Third Brother can't just stand by and watch. It's just that this anger of Third Brother's is a bit too much, and even the Emperor is angry today, Wangfei is Third Brother's precious child!"
It's not like you don't know what kind of deep blood feud there is between Bai Rulin and I, that old dog, Bai Qianfan. It's not like that, Bai Qianfan is his daughter, but it's also something he ditched, and it's already mine after she left it in my residence. The little girl is pitiful, after a few days of living a comfortable life, she'll be on guard against this and that, afraid of getting hurt by people if she's not careful enough, I really can't stand it, that old dog Bai Rulin, no matter how hard you try to get others to bully him, he's still fit to be my father!
Morong Ze looked at him inquiringly, "Is there really no other way?"
Morong Gan replied him, "I missed you so much! The Royal Concubine was someone who suffered greatly. As for me, I can't be considered a good person, I'm better off than Bai Rulin. I don't dare say it's a problem to protect her forever. Even if she's not big, she's not small either, and next month is around when she's young. But look at her stature, she doesn't look like a fourteen year old girl.
After saying that, he raised his head. Bai Qianfan stood beside the pillar and looked at him with her black eyes.
