Chapter 451 Waiting for the cold appearance
An official in a green robe pointed at the carriage that had just stopped and whispered to another official of the same rank beside him.
"Look... that seems to be the carriage of Marquis Qinxing's mansion!
what happened?
Could it be that... Marquis Qinxing is here to attend the morning court today?
Is everything alright with Marquis Qinxing's Mansion?
I haven't heard that the stolen property from Marquis Qinxing's mansion has been recovered?"
The official was a little puzzled.
"How could it be found?" The official beside him waved his hand, "There is no trace of the lost property in the mansion!
You don’t know yet, right?
I heard that yesterday, the Emperor specially sent Eunuch Yu to the Marquis of Qinxing's mansion to pass on an oral order that the Marquis of Qinxing must attend the morning court today!"
"Oh?
Your Majesty, why is this happening?
I heard that the Marquis Qinxing’s Mansion was really robbed!
Marquis Qinxing was so ill that he was bedridden...
but……
But there is another saying -
The reason why Marquis Qinxing is bedridden..."
The official who was speaking lowered his voice and said, "The reason why Marquis Qinxing is bedridden is because Marquis Qinxing and his second wife are in the room...
That...that...uh...was too intense, which caused damage to my body and made me bedridden!
Anyway, Marquis Qinxing is seriously ill, so why did His Majesty ask him to attend the morning court today?"
“That’s true!
I think that Marquis Qinxing has no real position or power in the court now;
There was nothing in the court that required his presence to discuss.
Whether Marquis Qinxing will come to court or not... Actually... Hehe..." The official chuckled twice with a hint of meaning.
"Then, my Lord, why did the Emperor insist on having Lord Leng attend the morning court today?"
Another official came over from the side and asked in a low voice, following the conversation of these people.
"My two lords, please be careful with your words!
We, as ministers, should not try to guess the emperor's intentions casually!" an official whispered to stop him.
"Oh, yes! Thank you for your reminder!
It was our subordinates who spoke nonsense!" The two officials bowed their hands repeatedly.
"It's nothing, you two adults don't need to worry about it!"
At this time, another official came over and said, "I heard that the Qinxing Marquis's family is having a hard time making ends meet now. It's not like... it's not like the days before when they had the dowry of the eldest lady from the Anguo Duke's family to support them and they lived a comfortable life!"
"Who said it wasn't true?" Another person came over and said, "Marquis Qinxing's family has always relied on the late wife's dowry to show off!
This matter is known to everyone in the capital.
However, if this matter is not exposed, no one will be willing to interfere in other people's family affairs;
However, the fact that Marquis Qinxing, together with my mother, concubines, and illegitimate children, coveted the dowry of the former mistress and treated the legitimate daughter harshly has now been exposed...
Not to mention his mother, concubines, and illegitimate children, the Marquis Qinxing has no dignity left at all!"
After hearing this, several officials around shook their heads in disdain.
"But..." an official said with interest, "I really don't know where these thieves came from. They were able to rob the Marquis of Qinxing's mansion overnight!
Marquis Qinxing can no longer seize or enjoy the late wife's dowry!
As for how much was previously occupied, it depends on how Lord Zheng, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, investigates and recovers it!"
"..."
Several people gathered here, talking in low voices, some looking directly at each other, some glancing at each other, all their attention focused on the carriage of Marquis Qinxing.
The longer the Marquis of Qinxing waited to show up and get off the carriage, the more curiously the court officials stared at him and waited...
Usually they would enter Donghua Gate in twos and threes and rush to the court.
Today, however, everyone called him "brother", "young brother", and "sir". They gathered in groups of three or five, waiting to see Leng Xian get off the carriage.
I just want to see how unlucky this extremely unlucky marquis is now!
Leng Xian in the carriage clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, as if he was gathering his strength and courage.
Outside Donghuamen, no one got off the bus, and a group of people just waited and stared.
Zhongshun looked at the gazes coming over there, and felt a chill on his back, a tingling sensation on his scalp, and a fear in his heart...
It is conceivable that if the Marquis gets off the carriage...
With that image now... that... how embarrassing it must be! How awkward!
There is no time to delay the morning court session.
They say fainting doesn’t mean death, you can’t escape it!
We've already reached the palace gate, My Lord Marquis can't just stay in the car and not come out!
Zhongshun bowed to the officials who were looking at him, then turned around and offered Leng Xian a step in the carriage: "My Lord, are you feeling unwell again?
It’s getting late, my Lord…”
Zhongshun wanted to say: My Lord, please get out of the car!
If you sit in the carriage and don't get out...that's not a big deal!
However, the Marquis is his master.
Although I have good intentions in giving you a few more reminders...
But what if I angered the Marquis, and he took his anger out on me, and gave me a beating...
Zhongshun shuddered, that was not worth it!
So Zhongshun stopped urging him and just exchanged glances with Xiao Luozi, who was also standing beside the carriage with a whip in his hand.
The four guards who followed the carriage had already dismounted and were now standing behind the carriage, leading the horses, without making a sound.
Leng Xian in the carriage also knew that he had to get off, had to go into the palace, and had to attend the morning court.
But I still think about it and I am still afraid...
At this moment, a very distinctive duck voice came over, "Hey, Zhongshun, has your Marquis arrived yet?"
When Zhongshun saw that it was Eunuch Yu, he was startled and hurriedly bowed and greeted him: "Hello, Eunuch Yu!
In reply to Eunuch Yu, my Lord Marquis has arrived and is now in the carriage.
It’s just… you know that my master has been ill for many days and is feeling a little uncomfortable now. I want to take a break before going to the palace!”
"I see!
I told you so, the carriage has arrived at the palace gate, why hasn't the Marquis gotten off the carriage yet?
But then again, the emperor really guessed it...
The Emperor guessed that your Lordship would linger at the palace gate, so he ordered us to come and meet him!"
Who is Yu Feng?
He is one of the two most trusted confidants of the Emperor!
Yu Feng had already arrived outside Donghua Gate in person, so Leng Xian had to get off the car even if he didn't want to.
"Your Excellency, what you said... is too embarrassing for me!" A cold and weak voice came from the carriage, sounding like someone who really was a sick person.
"Zhongshun, help me... get off the car!" Leng Xian ordered.
"Yes!" Zhongshun and Xiao Luozi hurried forward, opened the two doors on the left and right, lifted the curtains to the roof, and revealed Leng Xian who was in the carriage.
At this point, Leng Xian had no choice but to bite the bullet and get out of the carriage.
"I just felt a little dizzy, so I sat in the car to relax.
I know it's getting late, how dare I delay the court session?"
Leng Xian said this as he bent over and slowly got out of the carriage.
All the people standing outside Donghua Gate were looking at Leng Xian!
As soon as Leng Xian appeared, everyone's eyes widened instantly...
After a short moment of stunned silence, "Puchi..."
"Puch..."
"Puch..."
