Chapter 1006 The Second Grand Secretary's Sudden Death Shocks Both Civil and Military Officials
After watching Leng Rongyue drive for a while, the three women, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, were drawn to the scenery passing by outside the car.
The seats are comfortable, the windows are bright and clear, and watching the scenery pass by while driving is an incredibly pleasant and wonderful feeling!
Leng Rongyue turned her head to look at her grandmother sitting in the passenger seat...
The excitement in Madam Xue's eyes was almost overflowing!
Noticing that Leng Rongyue was looking at her, Old Madam Xue's face instantly broke into a kind smile.
In the gaze between the grandfather and grandson, love and affection intertwined!
Leng Rongyue glanced at her two aunts sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror...
At this moment, the two aunts' faces and eyes were filled with undisguised excitement!
So, Leng Rongyue asked with a smile, "Grandma and your two aunts, would you like to have an even more enjoyable time?"
"More enjoyable?"
Oh, Moon! Sitting in such a stable and fast car, looking at the beautiful scenery all around, is already more than enough!
How could it get any more enjoyable?
Second Madam Zheng Suyao stared out the window, but her words were a response to Leng Rongyue.
Leng Rongyue chuckled, "Then Second Aunt, just wait and see!"
As he spoke, he reached out and pressed a button.
Suddenly, all three women in the car—the mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law—looked up at the ceiling...
"Moon, why is the roof of this car... moving backward?"
The second wife asked in surprise and doubt.
The roof of the car was gone, and they could actually see the blue sky while sitting inside!
The car they were riding in, which was moving at high speed... had now turned into a convertible!
Looking around, there was no obstruction to the view...
Above my head was a clear blue sky;
All around are lush green meadows, with wildflowers blooming among the grass.
The distant mountains receded rapidly as the car drove by...
A gentle breeze stirred her hair, making it flutter...
Sitting in the car, I felt like I was flying!
Before long, the second wife was captivated by the wildflowers blooming all over the open field...
“Wow!
These wildflowers are blooming so beautifully!
I really want to pick a few!
The car stopped abruptly as soon as Second Madam Zheng Suyao finished speaking!
The three women, including the second wife, all looked at Leng Rongyue, their eyes asking, "Why did you suddenly stop the car?"
Leng Rongyue smiled and said, "Didn't Second Aunt want to get off the carriage to pick flowers?"
"Then go pick them!"
As he spoke, he unbuckled his own seatbelt and then unbuckled the seatbelt on Madam Xue's side as well.
Leng Rongyue opened the car door, got out, and stood outside the car. Pointing to the switch on the door, she said, "Grandma, Aunt, Aunt, look... this is the door switch... just a gentle flick and the door opens!"
Following Leng Rongyue's technique, Madam Xue, the First Madam, and the Second Madam gently pulled on the door, and sure enough, with a soft "click," the car door opened...
The three women, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, got out of the car and stood on a vast expanse of green grass.
Not far away, there is a lush and towering forest, from which the occasional chirping of birds can be heard, making the place seem even more serene!
"Mother, sister-in-law, Yue'er, let's go pick wildflowers!"
Second Madam Zheng Suyao called out loudly and then ran off on her own!
Looking at her lively and energetic second daughter-in-law, who was as cheerful as a young girl, Madam Xue smiled helplessly and shook her head. Then she looked at her eldest daughter-in-law and her little granddaughter and said with a smile, "Look, they've already run far ahead. Shall we follow them?"
"Okay, Mother!"
"Yes, Grandma!"
Madam Huo Chanyu and Leng Rongyue both smiled and agreed, accompanying Old Madam Xue as they stepped forward. The four of them formed a flower-picking army and began their grand flower-picking business!
The mother and her children were picking wildflowers in high spirits. Under the blue sky, bursts of happy laughter echoed from the flower bushes!
However, the atmosphere in the Golden Palace of the Imperial Palace was unusually heavy and oppressive.
After all the civil and military officials finished paying their respects, Yu Fengcai said, "If you have something to say, speak now; if not, leave the court." At that moment, Dong Wen, the commander of the Imperial Guards, stepped forward from the ranks of the military officers, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, I, Dong Wen, the commander of the Imperial Guards, have something to say!"
Emperor Hongde, seated on the dragon throne, looked down at Dong Wen opposite him...
Emperor Hongde knew perfectly well what Dong Wen was about to report!
But, when it comes to acting, you always have to put on a show.
So, as usual, Emperor Hongde simply raised his hand and said, "Minister Dong, if you have something to report, please present it in court!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Next, Dong Wen reported to Emperor Hongde: "Your Majesty, after midnight last night, the former Vice Minister Zhang Jinyan, who was imprisoned in the Imperial Prison,... died suddenly in the prison!"
"what?
Minister Dong is saying... that former Vice Minister Zhang Jinyan... died suddenly in prison last night?
Is this true?
The news of Zhang Jinyan's sudden death caused quite a stir among the civil and military officials in the hall!
Of course, some people's surprise was genuine, while others' surprise... well... it was all an act.
For example... Emperor Hongde.
Emperor Hongde was quite surprised to hear this news and hurriedly asked Dong Wen to confirm it again.
