The favorite of the Nongmen group: the female supporting role is a full-level boss

Chapter 316 Begging for mercy

The queen's entire cold heart softened into a piece after soaking in the warm water.

She happily asked the female officer to give her a reward.

He also sent someone to invite Tingyuan, the Chief Assistant, and the Minister of Rites to come over to discuss holding a ceremony for Gu Jingyun to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan, and to be included in the royal jade certificate.

Gu Jingyun watched the queen explain the complicated things one by one. The smile on his face never faded. He was really happy from the bottom of his heart when he said "Mother". Her illness seemed to be cured and she no longer coughed. , the whole person is full of energy.

He pursed his lips and couldn't help but think, it didn't seem too bad, other than missing them.

His eyes glanced at the twig-grained wooden box on the table, which was a gift from the Queen Mother.

"Jing'er, be careful of the Queen Mother. Don't get your hands on her things. If you want something, just ask the servants around you to serve you." The queen gave a look to the maid, indicating that she should put the things away and take them from the hands of the female officer. A key was placed in his hand: "There are many things in the Queen Mother's warehouse. Just take whatever you like."

Gu Jingyun pushed the key back: "I can't have it." After a pause, he gave the queen a toothy smile: "I'll ask you for anything I want in the future."

"Okay." The queen agreed.

——

Cao Mansion.

The whole family gathered in Mrs. Cao's yard.

Cao Guangyi was imprisoned in the sky prison, waiting for exile.

This news shocked them all.

Mrs. Cao's vision went dark and she fainted.

Mrs. Cao's face was pale, and all the strength in her body seemed to have been drained away, and she slumped in the chair.

"Sister, what should I do? Will the entire Cao family be implicated if my master is exiled?"

"Sister, go to your parents' house to find help, clear things up, and see if you can save me."

"Sister-in-law, I heard that the eldest brother and Gu Huaizhi had a very good relationship at the beginning. This incident happened in the Gu family. If you go to the Gu family in person to intercede, let the Gu family say a few words to excuse the eldest brother. We can give you a generous reward."

Several concubines asked Mrs. Cao Guanglin for advice.

Cao Suxue stood in the corner, acting as an invisible person. The appearance of Princess Yongfu and the Lord of Lin'an County had already shocked her. She wished she could keep her tail between her legs, for fear that Su Wan would settle the score with her.

Now that her father has been dragged down by the Gu family, and the future of the Cao family is uncertain, she is even more afraid to take the lead, for fear that if she makes a fool of herself or makes a big mistake, the Cao family will not let her go.

Cao Wanqing stepped forward to support Mrs. Cao, took out the pills and stuffed them into her mouth. She glanced at everyone and said, "My mother is a woman. She can't make the final decision on the affairs of the court. You guys should stand further away. Get closer." If my mother is ill, there will be no one in charge of her."

Most of the people in the room were her elders, and they all looked unhappy after hearing her words.

Cao Guanglin said angrily: "Don't you have a good relationship with Su Wan? You can come to ask for mercy."

Cao Wanqing sneered: "Compared to Su Wan, who is a powerless person, my second uncle has been in the court for so many years and has a lot of connections, right? I am asked to do useless work here, why not find someone to smooth the relationship quickly and see if I can Can I fish out my father?"

Cao Guanglin turned livid with anger, glared at her, and walked away.

"You should leave soon and go to the house to wait for the news. If it affects the Cao family, the news will have come back long ago. Don't disturb people's hearts and cause chaos here." Cao Wanqing said to her aunt, concubine, and concubine.

At this juncture, everyone did not dare to be strong and retreated one after another.

Cao Wanqing came to Mrs. Cao and pinched her lips. Mrs. Cao faintly woke up. Before she could speak, tears started to flow out.

"What a sin! I tried to persuade him not to be radical earlier, but he refused to listen. He refused to listen to my words. Now he is digging his own grave!" Mrs. Cao burst into tears. Under her anxiety, she felt helpless about this situation: "Qing'er, where is your second uncle? Where has he been?"

"Second uncle is looking for some relationship management."

"Shui Qin, call the people back quickly. Don't they know the reason why the imperial court transferred Yi'er back to the capital to report on his duties? What goes up must come down. Your father is greedy for power and restless. The imperial court is determined to deal with him. Who dares? Reach out and give him a hand?" Mrs. Cao watched Shui Qin leave, took Cao Wanqing's hand, and said Yin Yin: "The old man has already told me that if he doesn't want another hundred years of glory, at least the situation is over. All those who still had positions in the government were summoned and asked to resign."

"Yes." Cao Wanqing went out to arrange for someone to find someone.

The door closes behind you.

Cao Wanqing leaned on the stone pillar, looking at the cloudless sky, wandering in the sky, waiting for Mrs. Cao.

Two quarters of an hour later, all the men of the Cao family arrived, and Mrs. Cao came out of the house.

"Mother." Cao Wanqing stepped forward to support her and whispered, "I want to see Wanwan."

"Asking for mercy from her?" Mrs. Cao's eyes were cold.

Cao Wanqing shook her head and said bitterly: "My life was saved by Wanwan. How can I have the face to ask her to repay evil with kindness?"

"Ahem...cough..." Mrs. Cao coughed a few times, her face became paler, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on her lips: "Your father is a cautious person, and he works carefully. All the evidence left behind has been destroyed, how could he fall into this trap?" In the hands of others? If there is any trouble, he will be alerted and no one can get close to him. "

Cao Wanqing was confused.

"Gu Huaizhi taught your seventh brother as a teacher back then, and his talents were appreciated by your father." Mrs. Cao was extraordinarily calm, changing her panic when she heard the news before: "The little prince is in the Gu Mansion, do you think it is Is it an accident? Even the Queen didn't know. The person who saw Gu Jingyun's identity was Princess Yongfu. The Queen Mother was the second person to know. When the news about the little prince spread, Su Wan entered the palace in the name of treating the Queen. Today The elders of Xiaoge brought people into the palace, which means that they already know the identity of the young prince. "

"The person behind it is the regent."

The regent has great ambitions and has regained many powers. How can Cao Guangyi tolerate the regent's strategy of playing tricks on the regent?

I just didn’t expect that…

Cao Wanqing's face turned pale and she was in disbelief.

Did Gu Huaizhi deliberately lurk beside his father?

"Mother, you have known this for a long time? Then..."

Mrs. Cao shook her head slowly, only now did she figure it out.

Everything was revealed, and the fog in front of my eyes was cleared, and I felt a sudden realization.

"Let's go." Mrs. Cao ordered her to go to the warehouse to prepare gifts.

"Where to go?" Cao Wanqing was confused and felt unreal.

"Gu Mansion." Mrs. Cao curled her lips: "You have to go there and try your best to stop them."

Seeing her mother like this, Cao Wanqing felt very uneasy. There was a feeling that she was not worried about the life and death of the Cao family. Was her frightened behavior just a public performance?

She knew that her parents had a weak relationship, but she didn't expect that her mother didn't care at all about the rise and fall of the Cao family.

Mrs. Cao did not explain, but looked back at the room with the door closed, her expression deserted.

She was weak, and Cao Guangyi had long been tired of her. There were many concubines in the backyard, and they rarely came to her house. The relationship between husband and wife had long since worn off, and she only did her duty.

If we talk about the resentment against the Cao family, it started when Cao Suxue attacked Cao Wanqing and the Cao family protected Cao Suxue.

My heart was completely cold.

The mother and daughter took a carriage to the door of Gu's mansion.
