Bai mama had been very sad recently ~ Ever since Su Wan left the Xinzheku, although Steward Wang also gave her a large reward, Bai mama still hadn't received the imperial edict to transfer her out of the Xinzheku.
Am I going to die of old age in this courtyard where even birds don't shit on for the rest of my life?
The capital in winter was cold, and Bai mama's heart was colder than the biting northwest wind. Just when Bai mama had lost confidence, Wang Yi finally arrived late with the latest appointment from His Majesty.
An imperial edict allowed Bai mama to jump from the small steward of the Xinzheku to the Left Secretary of the Imperial Clan Court in one fell swoop.
Although these two places were both places to imprison sinners, the difference was too big, okay?
The Imperial Clan Court was directly responsible for the imperial family. In addition to the palace servants who had committed serious crimes in the imperial city, most of the people in the Imperial Clan Court were imperial children who had committed mistakes and were disobedient. These young masters were used to being aloof and had very high requirements in the Imperial Clan Court. However, the Imperial Clan Court was under the direct jurisdiction of His Majesty. The Imperial Clan Court from the Imperial Clan Court to the various secretaries below were directly under the orders of the Emperor. They were not afraid of these imperial children, so once they entered the Imperial Clan Court, everyone had to be obedient. If you want to eat and drink well and have privileges, that's fine.
It could be said that the Imperial Clan Court was a very profitable place, and the secretaries of the Imperial Clan Court were all fifth-grade officials. Not only did they enjoy the salary of the imperial court, but the people of the Imperial Clan Court were also considered to be completely separated from the imperial city and could apply for their own houses to live outside the palace.
When she received the imperial edict, Bai mama's hands were trembling.
"Steward Wang has worked hard!"
After the joy, Bai mama hurriedly took out a banknote with a large face value from her arms and handed it to Wang Yi, but Wang Yi shook his head and smiled mysteriously at Bai mama: "Mama, it's not as simple as you having good fortune recently! You have to continue to perform well in the Imperial Clan Court! His Majesty is watching! "
Although she didn't understand Wang Yi's words, Bai mama still nodded gratefully and sent Wang Yi out of the Xinzheku with a smile on her face.
Bai mama left the Xinzheku, and her position was taken over by her confidant Yue Mei.
After arriving at the Imperial Clan Court, Bai mama immediately changed into the clothes belonging to the Left Imperial Clan. The dark silk was embroidered with the symbol of the Great Shang Dynasty's royal family.
Bai mama was wearing this new official robe and her heart felt very beautiful ah! On the first day of her appointment, she immediately took a group of female stewards under her to inspect the women's left prison that she was in charge of. Then, Bai mama's entire person was like a fortress — —
"Bai mama, what a coincidence. I can meet you here too."
In the clean and tidy prison, Su Wan was sitting in front of a low table practicing calligraphy. She heard Bai mama's loud voice from afar. When she brought people closer, Su Wan couldn't help but greet her: "Right, look at my memory, you are now a member of Bai Zongshi ah!"
At this time, Bai mama's heart was very complicated. She instantly thought of Steward Wang's meaningful words when passing the decree — —
As the saying goes, it's better to do something familiar than to do it raw!
No wonder His Majesty directly transferred her to the Imperial Clan Court. It was to continue to serve this aunt ah!
Good, good, this at least shows that I served her well last time, right? Bai mama only froze for a moment and immediately directed her subordinates to open the door of Su Wan's cell. Then she waved everyone away and approached Su Wan with a smile on her face: "Miss Su, you can call me Bai Pei. This is this old slave's lowly name. What imperial clan? This old slave doesn't dare to be arrogant in front of Miss."
Bai Pei didn't want to care about why Su Wan always stayed in such a strange place. She only knew that as long as she served this aunt well, she could be promoted all the way!
"En."
After listening to Bai Pei's words, Su Wan just nodded lightly: "I can rest assured with you here. If anyone comes to see me in the next few days, men are not allowed to enter, and women are allowed to enter."
Men are not allowed to enter?
Bai Pei's face changed slightly: "Then His Majesty … I mean, what about that Lord?"
"Him?"
Su Wan smiled: "You don't have to worry about this."
Whether it was the Xinzheku or the Imperial Clan Court, there was no place that could stop Su Wan.
"Oh, this old slave understands, I understand."
Bai Pei nodded. She bent down and glanced around the prison where Su Wan was now. Hmph, sure enough, a lot of daily necessities were available — —
Could it be that His Majesty still comes here every night?
Thinking of the last time she accidentally bumped into His Majesty, Bai Pei shuddered all over. She secretly warned herself in her heart that she must never casually come to Miss Su's place after nightfall … …
The days in the Imperial Clan Court were actually much more comfortable than in the Xinzheku. Although she was locked up in a narrow place this time, Su Wan could really relax and rest comfortably on the big bed here.
Dongfang Li, who was also imprisoned in the Right Minister of the Imperial Clan Court, was not so lucky. Although he failed to kiss her that day, he used his hands to hug Su Wan, so on the first night he entered the Imperial Clan Court, the tendons of Dongfang Li's hands were abruptly cut off by Su Rui. At that time, Dongfang Li, who almost fainted from the pain, kept shouting that he wanted to ask the royal family's Zong Zheng and Zong Ling to uphold justice for him. At that time, Dongfang Li didn't know that before Su Wan came to this cell, he had already dealt with the Zong Ling and the others of the Imperial Clan Court — —
In the face of absolute power and strength, everything was fleeting.
With the arrival of the first heavy snow of winter, the entire imperial city was covered with snow, and everywhere was a vast expanse of whiteness.
Yan Yunuo finally spent money to find someone to get through to the Imperial Clan Court and had the opportunity to see Su Wan. This time, Su Wan didn't need to perform too ostentatiously.
She just told Bai Pei to change her cell to an ordinary one in advance.
The sun couldn't be seen in the cell, only the dim yellow candlelight kept swaying. When Yan Yunuo saw Su Wan, she was sitting in front of the low table in the cell, writing something with a tranquil expression.
"Xiao Wan."
"Sister Yunuo, you're here?"
Seeing Yan Yunuo, Su Wan smiled at her indifferently.
Seeing her smile and the ferocious scar on her arm that was faintly discernible under the white prison uniform, Yan Yunuo couldn't bear to turn her face away: "Xiao Wan, I know about that matter. I know you are innocent, Yuqing, she … …"
Su Wan shook her head at Yan Yunuo, indicating that the walls have ears: "Sister Yunuo, I know what you want to say. One should take responsibility for one's own actions. Beauty Yan has always been kind to me, I can't implicate her. "
As she said this, Su Wan gently wrote eight big words on the rice paper on the low table – know how to repay kindness, kindness will be rewarded.
Seeing that Su Wan was so open-minded, Yan Yunuo subconsciously bit her lip. Although Yan Yunuo asked herself if she could do this for her sister, now that she was standing from the perspective of a bystander, she had been feeling distressed for Su Wan.
She knew that Su Wan was living so comfortably now because the Imperial Clan Court had not yet interrogated her case. Once the interrogation started, there would definitely be torture. At that time, it would definitely be a bloody scene … …
When Yan Yunuo went to the Imperial Clan Court to visit Su Wan, Chen Shengbei, who was staying in the guard camp, stayed alone in the room and drowned his sorrows with alcohol. Xu Bingyue told him about Su Wan, but until now, Chen Shengbei still didn't believe that Su Wan really had anything to do with Rui Wang.
Who was Rui Wang? If he wanted a little palace maid, he only needed to ask His Majesty and His Majesty would definitely give him the person he fancied.
Su Wan must have been framed and wronged. Chen Shengbei firmly believed in this.
He had to find a way to save Su Wan! Yes, he must save her!
