Chapter 388 I Want to Leave the Palace

The Queen Mother picked up the list of ministers, but she couldn't really tell what they were.

She had been devoted to worshipping Buddha for years, and the emperor was a man of his own accord. She had never thought of interfering in state affairs, nor could she do so. She barely knew most of the people on the list.

"Several of them are censors."

Listening to the explanation of her subordinates, the Queen Mother couldn't figure it out: "You said he didn't want to help his sister regain favor, so why did he still think about impeaching others?

Naturally, her subordinates couldn't come up with an answer.

The Queen Mother continued: "Forget it, I don't care about the affairs of the court anymore. He can impeach whoever he wants. "

The Queen Mother thought that this matter had nothing to do with Shoukang Palace, so she let it go.

But within two days, news came from the previous court that many imperial censors jointly impeached Gu Mingda.

The reason for the impeachment was that Gu Mingda's earlier articles were not careful in their language and had the intention of satirizing the government.

Originally it was just a small matter. These articles were not works in the past two years, but were written decades or twenty years ago. Even when Gu Mingda himself was impeached, he was stunned for a few moments. He even thought it was hard for these people to find articles from many years ago from the corners in order to target him.

The emperor did not take this matter to heart.

But This was just the beginning. Soon after, someone impeached Gu Mingda for his close relationship with the merchant Luo family, suspecting collusion between officials and businessmen.

But this matter is easy to explain. After all, the two families are still in-laws on the surface. In the previous contract signed with Luo, only Liu Xiaoru's name was on it.

Niuniu and Zhang Yunniang's shares in the stewed food workshop were signed by Liu Xiaoru and them privately, so they were not affected.

Gu Mingda thought that the matter ended here, but soon someone impeached Gu Mingda for cheating in the Tongsheng exam. The reason was that Gu Mingda's brother-in-law Zhang Guangzong betrayed exile because of cheating in the imperial examination, and Gu Mingda Most likely involved.

Gu Mingda complained that he and Zhang Guangzong had long since broken off relations.

But the people behind the scenes obviously expected Gu Mingda to do this, because the impeachment that followed turned into an impeachment of Gu Mingda for not educating his wife strictly and his wife being unfilial to her mother.

Gu Mingda even met Mrs. Cai.

Gu Mingda never thought that he would have a chance to meet this "mother-in-law" who had oppressed his wife for many years and the "grandmother" who had bullied Niuniu for a long time.

Since Zhang Guangzong was exiled, Zhang Jinbao and Mrs. Cai have all disappeared, and Gu Mingda thought there was no chance of seeing her again.

Mrs. Cai She cried bitterly in Jingzhao Prefecture, accusing Zhang Yunniang of being unfilial to her and suing her for disobedience.

In terms of reason and law, although Mrs. Cai is a stepmother, she is indeed Zhang Yunniang's mother, but the world is such that a stepmother cannot enjoy the same treatment as a mother.

Mrs. Cai's complaint is really far-fetched.

Although these are all trivial matters, they made Gu Mingda very embarrassed for a while, and he was also pointed at by his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy.

"Brother Gu, these people are jealous of Brother Gu being valued by His Majesty. You must not take it to heart. If you are unhappy about it, it will make these villains proud! "Sun Jiaxing comforted Gu Mingda.

Gu Mingda shook his head. This little thing really didn't make him anxious. He just didn't understand which god he had offended, so he was in such trouble.

He didn't feel embarrassed if he was the only one in trouble. His family had encountered problems recently.

Zhang Yunniang was once invited to a small official's house to provide postpartum care for the woman in their family. The woman did not accept Zhang Yunniang's guidance for less than half a month and died of postpartum hemorrhage.

The family of the woman immediately pestered them and sent people to the door of the Gu family every day, shouting that it was Zhang Yunniang who was trying to steal money and kill.

Even Mrs. Gu has had a very bad time recently. The old lady was watching the excitement at the city gate. Two groups of people were fighting, and no one knew whose stick slipped out of his hand and hit the old lady's forehead. Now the old lady is lying at home, and her life or death is unknown.

During this period, the Luo family was not only involved in the lawsuit of the Gu family, but also suffered a great blow to their own business. The braised food shop encountered a hit porcelain. , carrying a dead body and blocking the door of the shop, insisting that the Luo family killed someone.

With all these troubles, even if the Queen Mother kept it a secret, Niuniu in the palace still knew the news.

Gu Mingda didn't come to class for a few days, and the reason he gave was that something happened in the previous dynasty. Niuniu didn't think much about it at first. After she didn't have to go to class, she often went to visit Li Xuan.

Li Xuan and Li Shuo lived next door. Li Xuan was not a talkative person, but Li Shuo was different.

Li Shuo was fine, but he felt that if it weren't for Niuniu bumped into Li Xuan, and Li Xuan was unable to go to the horse farm to practice archery that day, so he became the unlucky person.

Li Shuo never reflected on why he secretly rode someone else's horse. Instead, he pushed all the responsibilities onto these two people, thinking that they were the ones who made him suffer!

Li Shuo was not in a good mood when facing Niuniu. As soon as he received the news, he gloated to Niuniu: "Your father is going to be in big trouble, your grandmother is dying, your mother is going to jail, and you will be driven out of the palace soon!"

When the little girl heard this, her face was blank. After reacting, she loudly refuted: "Impossible, my family is fine, they will definitely be fine! My grandmother has always been healthy!"

Li Shuo said: "What a fool, your family is in big trouble, you can find out if you ask around!"

The little girl's eyes were filled with tears, and she shook her head vigorously: "Impossible! My family will be fine! You must be lying to me!"

The little girl looked at Li Xuan with a pleading look.

Li Xuan's eyes were evasive. In the past two days, Li Xuan's mother came to visit and told him about the Gu family.

When Niuniu saw Li Xuan's expression, she felt like she was struck by lightning.

And Li Shuo on the side continued: "It's all because you did bad things that they suffered such retribution! You are a troublemaker!"

The little girl's face was pale.

Li Xuan hurriedly comforted: "Niuniu, don't think so. If everyone in this world thinks that they are suffering because of bad things, then look at him, his hands and feet are broken, is it because he has done too many bad things?"

Li Shuo now hates others mentioning his broken hands and feet. Hearing this, he picked up something beside him with his other intact hand and smashed it at the two people.

But he forgot that he was weak and had no strength. When he threw the things, they didn't hit the other two people, but fell on his feet, causing him to scream in pain.

"You hurt me! You hurt me!" Li Shuo said loudly.

The maids and eunuchs in charge of serving rushed in.

Li Xuan looked at the noisy scene and hurriedly pulled Niu Niu out.

After leaving the prince's residence, Niu Niu suddenly woke up and cried, "I want to find the Queen Mother! I want to leave the palace! I want to go home! I want to stay with my family!"
