Yu Mansion. In the main courtyard, Yu Dali was lying on the bed. His face was pale, and his lips were chapped with dried bloodstains. The doctor applied medicine on him for several hours before he finally finished bandaging all the whip wounds on his body. However, the blood seeped out and gradually dyed the bandages red. It was a ghastly sight.
。
"Doctor, how is my father?" Yu Wei asked worriedly.
The doctor wiped his sweat with his sleeve and drank a mouthful of water. "Young Master Yu, rest assured. Lord Yu's wounds have been treated. Although there are many wounds, they are not deep. As long as he rests and recuperates, he will be fine. This old man will prescribe a few medicines. You must take them on time …"
"Thank you, Doctor."
Then, the doctor explained some things to take note of and left.
When Yu Dali woke up, it was already dusk.
When he opened his eyes, he found himself back at home.
What?
Wasn't he still in the Ministry of Justice's prison?
Yu Wei had been standing by his side. When he saw his father wake up, he asked a few questions and hurriedly brought a bowl of water for him to drink.
Lord Yu leaned against the edge of the bed. His head was still dizzy. When he regained his consciousness, he asked weakly, "This matter … how was it handled?"
Yu Wei recounted the entire process of Ji Yunshu's trial.
Lord Yu was shocked.
He didn't expect the truth to be like this.
It was completely unexpected.
But …
Yu Wei stuttered after he finished speaking. His complexion didn't look good.
Seeing this, Lord Yu asked, "Are you hiding something from me?"
"Father …"
"Speak!"
"Because of this matter, His Majesty has ordered you to be stripped of your official position. You should rest at home."
Damn!
"What did you say?" Lord Yu was shocked. "Stripped of my official position?"
Yu Wei nodded shakily. He had guessed that his father would have such a reaction.
Although Official Yu had risen through the ranks very quickly due to his sly and cunning ways, ever since he became the Chancellor of the Supreme Court, he had started to handle cases in an orderly manner. He didn't have the slightest bit of carelessness. Who would have thought that he would stumble and end up in this situation?
It took him a while to reluctantly accept this fact. He asked curiously, "Who is your official position now?"
He wanted to see who had smashed such a big ingot on his head.
Yu Wei's expression turned even uglier. He said, "Father, rest well first. Don't worry about anything else."
"Did the emperor promote you?"
"No … no."
"Who is that?"
Yu Wei couldn't bear his father's interrogation and could only spit out two words, "Wang Ye."
"What?"
"Wang Ye, the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Works, Wang Ye." Yu Wei gathered up his courage and said it clearly.
What?
Lord Yu's eyes widened in shock. His eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness. "Why did you choose him? That Wang Ye is someone who eats people up without spitting out the bones! "
It would have been fine if she had chosen someone else. Why did it have to be Wang Ye?
Yu Wei hurriedly persuaded, "Father, calm down. This official position is gone, but we can fight for it in the future. It's fine as long as you're fine. One day, I'll go to the temple and pick a few leaves to sweep your body and get rid of the bad luck." "Sweep? The official position is gone." Lord Yu waved his hand worriedly. "That Wang Ye doesn't have the ability to be the Chancellor of the Supreme Court. Why did the walls of our residence fall this time? It's all because the Ministry of Works skimped on their work! The person who was responsible for the repair was Wang Zhe, a doctor of the Ministry of Works. He was Wang Ye's nephew. Uncle and nephew pocketed money secretly in the Ministry of Works and collected black-hearted money. No one knew what the Censorate ate. They could not find any evidence for what was so clear in their eyes. If Wang Ye was appointed as the Officer of the Supreme Court, there would be countless wronged souls.
。”
The Supreme Court was like his child. He couldn't allow others to pour sand into it.
Sigh …
He grumbled for a long time. Yu Wei listened quietly from the side.
In fact, Yu Wei had a good relationship with Wang Ye's nephew, Wang Zhe. The two often went out for small gatherings. The reason for their good relationship started three years ago. At that time, the Ministry of Works wanted to repair the Yu Residence. At that time, they sent Wang Zhe, who was still a Vice Minister, to be the main contractor. Because of this, Wang Zhe and Yu Wei had a lot of contact. In addition, their temperaments were similar and they had a lot of common topics to talk about.
Later on, Wang Zhe was promoted and was now a Doctor of the Ministry of Works.
Therefore, when Lord Yu kept criticizing Wang Ye and Wang Zhe for embezzling money, Yu Wei didn't say a word.
After his father's anger subsided, he advised, "Father, your health is more important. In fact, it's better now. You can rest well at home and enjoy the happiness of having children and grandchildren."
Lord Yu gradually calmed down.
'Forget it!
Staying away from the bureaucracy isn't necessarily a bad thing! '
…
After Jing Rong returned from the imperial palace, he had been cooped up in his room. Ji Yunshu wanted to find him several times, but she was already at the door. She didn't dare to go in. She didn't dare to ask Jing Rong. She knew that the answer would disappoint her. But since she already knew the result, she still held on to a glimmer of hope. She hoped that everything was fake.
Yes.
But even if she could deceive others, she couldn't deceive her own heart.
The sky gradually darkened. She sat in the courtyard and looked up at the fluffy moon in a daze.
Her eyes were filled with worry and sorrow.
Bamboo Basket took out a cloak from the room and draped it over her shoulders. "Miss Ji, what are you thinking about?"
She shook her head. "I don't know."
"I haven't seen Miss looking for His Highness these past two days. His Highness also didn't look for Miss. Could it be …" Did they quarrel?
Bamboo Basket blinked her eyes and asked cautiously.
Ji Yunshu gently tapped her head with her finger. "What nonsense are you talking about? His Highness has been busy with official business these past two days. I was also busy with the Yu Family's case. Naturally, we didn't see each other much."
"This servant thought …" She chuckled. "But His Highness and Miss are a perfect match. Moreover, His Highness likes you so much. How could he bear to quarrel with Miss?"
"You little girl."
Bamboo Basket smiled and asked again. "But Miss, you and His Highness returned to the capital this time to send off Lord Qin's funeral and redress Official Yu's grievances. Now that you've finished your business, then … are you going to leave the capital again? Please don't. It's only been a few days. Bamboo Basket can't bear to part with you. "
Sometimes she laughed, sometimes she cried.
She was extremely adorable.
Ji Yunshu caressed her head and said, "You little girl, can't you bear to part with me?"
"Of course. Miss, you should stay for a while longer. Bamboo Basket really can't bear to part with you. I don't know how long you'll be gone this time. If you don't come back, this servant …"
After saying that, she began to cry again.
Ji Yunshu sighed.
In fact, she didn't know either.
