《Long piece》E34
Episode 34
Yan Xing and Shen Du returned home, and the kitchen was filled with warmth. The two joined hands in making dumplings, and the laughter and laughter intertwined into a warm scene.At the same time, the Empress Dowager sat alone, staring at the portrait of the late Emperor, with mixed feelings in her heart.Years passed by, and the late emperor passed away. She reflected on her words and deeds, but she still couldn't hide the loneliness deep in her heart.
Xu Wan and others also finished their journey and returned one after another. They talked about the prosperity of the outside world, but they all lamented that the warmth of home is irreplaceable.The Empress Dowager understood his thoughts and ordered additional delicacies to be prepared so that the whole family could spend the winter solstice together like ordinary people and enjoy family happiness.
On the other side, Lu Chuichui and Jiang Langxing were immersed in the winter snow scene, strolling and playing.Jiang Langxing would give him delicious food from time to time, which made Lu Chuichui smile like a flower. His cheeks swelled slightly due to the food, making him look even more charming and cute.The two still had their childlike innocence, building a snowman together, and their laughter echoed in the cold wind.
However, this joy did not touch Lai Luozhi's heart.He stood aside, with a gloomy face and complicated eyes.After Lu Chuichui and Jiang Langxing left, he silently and carefully moved Lu Chuichui's snowman back, but kicked Jiang Langxing's snowman to pieces.When he returned to his residence, he saw Lu Chuichui's snowman gradually melting in the warmth, and silently thought in his heart: What belongs to him, he vows not to let others touch it.This scene is not only emotional persistence, but also a resolute defense of the self-world.
Late at night, Lai Luo Zhi looked worried and asked to see the Empress Dowager. He brought shocking news: Yan Xing was actually a spy arranged by Prime Minister Zhang in the Shen family to monitor Shen Du.As soon as these words came out, Jin Zang couldn't hold himself back and defended his nephew Yan Xing, insisting that Yan Xing was of good conduct.The Empress Dowager was unhappy after hearing this and accused Jin Zang of overstepping his duties and speaking nonsense.
During the conversation, Lai Luozhi also mentioned the nursery rhymes circulating in the capital, alluding to the Queen Mother's rule, and the ballads were suspected to have been written by Jin Zang.Jinzang hurriedly clarified that he only performed the song at the King's banquet and did not write lyrics.After hearing the news, the Empress Dowager immediately summoned the wise king. The wise king was frightened and cried out that he was wronged and said that he knew nothing about it.
In order to calm down the incident, the Empress Dowager ordered the wise king to be grounded and ordered Lai Zhi to thoroughly investigate the nursery rhyme matter. At the same time, Jin Zang was temporarily detained by the Imperial Inspector to await trial.Unexpectedly, people from the Royal Chaosi Bureau broke into Yan's house and arrested Yan Xing's mother.Yan Xing was anxious after hearing the news, but when he returned home, he saw that his family members were afraid and were afraid to go forward. He became angry and vowed to rescue his mother personally, even if he was Lai Luo Zhi's enemy.
Lu Chuichui and Jiang Langxing learned of Yan Xing's predicament and acted separately.Lu Chuichui quickly found Yan Xing and told Shen Du that he had interceded for his mother.Yan Xing visited Prime Minister Zhang, who asked him why he didn't ask the Empress Dowager directly for help. Yan Xing humbly said that his official position was small and he did not dare to make mistakes.Zhang Xiang did not ask further questions, only revealed his understanding of Jin Zang's plea, and emphasized that Jin Zang had no evil intentions.
Zhang Xiang admitted frankly that in the past, he used Yan Xing and others more and cared less, but he has tried his best in this matter.He was well aware of the Empress Dowager's doubts about the Xian Wang, and he also knew that if he wrote a letter to plead for mercy, it would only make the Xian Wang's situation more difficult.Just when Lu Chuichui was about to leave, Lai Luo Zhi suddenly appeared and took him away, and the situation changed suddenly.
