Chapter 119 Unwilling to give up

Chen Hui wiped away the tears that were gushing out with the back of her hand and looked at the three people who were crying in a mess.

She sniffed and said calmly: "Don't cry. We have to find a way to rescue our father-in-law."

All three of them were stunned, and Xiao Liu said in surprise: "Miss Chen, do you have a way?"

Chen Hui shook her head: "I don't have it. I don't even know what happened to him. What can I do?"

Seeing Xiaoliu's surprise dissipate, Chen Hui continued: "The most urgent thing is to find out what's wrong with him and then prescribe the right medicine!"

Chen Hui looked at the direction of the palace - probably the direction of the palace - her heart was hit by the deep affection implicitly contained by Li Youde's arrangement, but she also felt unconcealed anger.

Li Youde, you are so sure, will I run away if something happens to you? You are so sure, will I find a way to save you? Go to your death day!

After Chen Hui calmed down, she had a vague plan to figure out what Li Youde had done, and then see if she could bribe someone to help him. The money and goods that Li Youde gave her would come in handy at this time.

"Xiao Liu, go back to Li's mansion to see the situation first, be careful not to get too close." Chen Hui said as the three of them stared at each other.

Xiao Liu had no idea at this moment. Seeing that Chen Hui was so calm, he seemed to have a backbone, so he quickly responded and ran out in a flash.

He sent Xiaoliu out first, but Chen Hui did not stop thinking.

If something happened to Li Youde, it would definitely not be a trivial matter, and it is very likely that Wang Youcai was able to do so. But Wang Youcai and Li Youde have the same status, and Wang Youcai can only use the power of the emperor to defeat Li Youde. In other words, whether Li Youde can be saved in the end depends on what the emperor thought... Perhaps, Wang Youcai will join hands with the civil officials to submit a memorial to impeach Li Youde?

Chen Hui's mind was full of history and historical dramas she had watched, but her helplessness still enveloped her. In this society where imperial power is supreme, even if she had the core socialist values ​​and the eight honors and eight shames, she would have no use. She could only find people as much as possible, find ways to get in touch with the center of the empire, and earn a glimmer of life for Li Youde.

While Chen Hui was thinking about it, Xiao Liu came back.

"Li's mansion is surrounded!" Xiao Liu said in a tight voice, "No one inside is allowed to come out. It seems that he has been searching for a round, but the house has not been searched."

Chen Hui let out a sigh of relief. The house was not raided, which means that the situation was not at its worst. Li Youde should be in the stage of having problems to be reviewed. If he really found out, the verdict would be not that gentle.

"Miss Chen, the villain also heard the chatting in the besieged mansion, saying that the fire in Jingren Palace was almost collapsed, and his father-in-law was involved." Xiao Liu said again.

"Tell me the fire my father-in-law set?" Chen Hui said in surprise.

"I don't know much about this." Xiao Liu sighed.

Chen Hui thought for a while and said, "Do you know where Huang Renhou lives?"

Xiao Liu was stunned and nodded quickly.

"Be careful when you go and see if something happened to him. If he is fine, please ask him to help inquire. He has enjoyed all the benefits given by his father-in-law. If his father-in-law is in trouble, he can't pat his butt and leave." Chen Hui said. Although Huang Renhou had teased her, she later found that this person was actually quite useful. If he was not implicated this time, it might come in handy. After all, she and him are also a community of interests. If Li Youde can come out, it will be of great benefit to him. On the contrary, if Li Youde is in a slump from now on, Huang Renhou might be implicated.

Xiao Liu responded and went out non-stop.

"Xiao Wu, go and send me a letter to Miss Zheng and Princess Shuning's house. I want them to come out and see you." Chen Hui also ordered Xiao Wu. Her information channels are too closed now, so she can only try her best.

After Chen Hui wrote the letter, Xiao Wu also hurried out with the letter.

Chen Hui asked Xiao Hu to lock the yard door, return to the main room, and choose clothes to go out for a while. The size of these clothes just fits her figure, and I think Li Youde has also put some effort into it.

"Xiao Hu, are you afraid?" Chen Hui looked at Xiao Hu who helped her choose clothes.

Xiao Hu was stunned and hurriedly said, "Xiao Hu is not afraid."

"If we forget the past and live our own little life, we have so much money and wealth, which is enough for us to live a prosperous life for the rest of our lives. But if we run around for Eunuch Li and get involved, maybe if we are not careful, we will be implicated or even sent to jail. You are not afraid?" Chen Hui said.

Xiao Xi widened her eyes and thought for a while before saying, "Miss Chen is not afraid, Xiao Xi is not afraid!"

"I'm afraid." Chen Hui gave Xiao Xu an unexpected answer.

She has been traveling through time for a year, and most of the time has been protected by Li Youde. His personality was in a turbulent and sunny early, which made her suffer a little, but he has never really hurt her, and those who are completely incomparable to the coming danger. Li Youde must have made many enemies, and there are people in the court who want Li Youde to die. If anyone knows that she is actually running for Li Youde, with her current status as a mayfly, it would be easier to make her disappear.

So, she was really afraid of death. But no matter how scared she was, she still had to do what she should do. Li Youde had already left her way out, and she had to arrange her affairs even if she was imprisoned. How could she let down his affection? Even if the final result was not optimistic, she could not give up from the beginning.

"But no matter how scared I am, I can't give up on him." Chen Hui smiled.

Xiao Zu nodded vigorously, and she would naturally be confused and helpless, but she always listened to Miss Chen. She would do whatever Miss Chen said, and she didn't have to think too much about other things.

Chen Hui chose her clothes and sat in the room for a while. Xiao Wu came back first.

"Miss Chen, the people from Zheng's Mansion and Prince Qing's Mansion refused to help deliver the letter..." Xiao Wu said sadly and guiltily.

Even though he had already made the worst plan, Chen Hui still felt a slump when this happened. It was not necessarily the intention of Zheng Rongrong and Princess Shuning. But if their family members thought so, how much influence could the important decisions made by the two girls have on the family?

"This is not your fault, let it go in advance." Chen Hui could only comfort Xiao Wu and put this matter aside for the time being.

After Xiao Liu came back, he brought pretty good news.

"Young Master Huang has no impact yet, and he doesn't know that something happened to Eunuch Li." Xiao Liudao, "He said he would help investigate and he would probably get some news tomorrow."

Xiaoliu said and said in a low voice: "Girl, I think Huang Renhou seems to be afraid that this will involve him, and he may not necessarily escape."

"It's normal, so there's no need to blame too much." Chen Hui sighed, "If my father-in-law hadn't been so kind to me and I like him again, I would have run away."

The three of them looked at Chen Hui in surprise, then lowered their heads with embarrassment. After all, Daliang people are still subtle. There are very few women who express their love without any concealment like Chen Hui.

Chen Hui didn't care what they were thinking. At this moment, she regretted that she hadn't been able to go out for more trips. If she met more people, she wouldn't have no way out when she was at the end of her life.

"Xiao Liu, who are the people who can speak the most around the emperor now?" Chen Hui asked again.

Xiao Liu thought for a while and said, "The villain on the minister's side is not very clear, but in the palace, Eunuch Wang, Eunuch Li, and Eunuch Cao can all speak. Especially Eunuch Cao, who has been with the emperor for twenty years, is not comparable to the emperor's friendship."

"What is this Eunuch Cao's temperament? Do you have any preferences? What is the relationship with Eunuch Li?" Chen Hui asked.

"This... Eunuch Cao is the eunuch in charge of the seal of the company's rituals and is most trusted by the emperor. The villain seems to have heard Eunuch Li say that Eunuch Cao smiles at everyone, and never asks about the grudges between Eunuch Li and Eunuch Wang, and does not participate in it." Xiao Liu said while recalling.

Chen Hui nodded.

Xiaoliu continued: "Eunuch Cao has also built a mansion outside. I heard that he likes jade very much."

"Xiao Liu, then let's meet his preferences and find a precious jade to send to Eunuch Cao. At least knock on his door and meet him." Chen Hui said that even if Eunuch Cao refused to help, he knew the situation at least more than all outsiders in the deep palace. Only with the information he gave could she have a better understanding of the situation and make the most correct decision.

"Miss Chen, there are a few good things that Eunuch Li has prepared for the girl, which is hard to exchange for." Xiao Liu suddenly said excitedly.

"That's great." Chen Hui was happy and hurriedly took Xiaoliu to the house to pick things up. Time is money, and she can't afford to waste a minute now.

In the palace. Two hours ago.

Li Youde was taken back to Jingren Palace. The fire had not been completely extinguished. The emperor was surrounded by a group of people, away from the range that the fire might be injured. His young and majestic face was now covered with haze.

After Li Youde was brought back, a guard held him down and made him kneel in front of the emperor.

The emperor looked at Li Youde, and was angry with a little incredible: "Li Youde, was it the fire you set?"

Li Youde had already taken his sight back from outside the palace. Although he felt that his future was unpredictable, he also wanted to leave the palace safely. After hearing the emperor's question, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I am wronged! Why did I set fire? This is all the frame-up of a traitor!"

"But many people saw you running out of Jingren Palace in a panic. How do you explain?" the emperor asked again.

Li Youde hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I chased after you because I saw a suspicious person, afraid that he would threaten the emperor's holy body. Unexpectedly, that man was so brave that he dared to resist when he was caught by me. He didn't say that he was knocked out of the villain, but he dared to set fire to kill people to silence him! I am also very determined, otherwise I would not be able to approach Tianyan anymore in the future and serve the emperor!" He said as he pretended to wipe away tears.

The emperor seemed to be moved. Seeing that Li Youde was in a mess, his face calmed down slightly, but with a loud bang the next second, Jingren Palace collapsed under the destruction of fire!

The group hurriedly protected the emperor and took a few steps back. The emperor looked at Jingren Palace in a daze and said slowly: "Li Youde, did you supervise this Jingren Palace?"

Li Youde was stunned.

The emperor reached out to the side, and the nearby servant immediately handed over a few questions. The emperor threw them in front of Li Youde without looking at them, and scolded him, "What they said is the truth?"

Li Youde hurriedly picked up the few questions and glanced over them at a glance. The contents of these questions were almost the same as usual. He said that he was domineering and savage people, he said that he took bribes and solicited bribes and levies and treacherous people, he said that he was a merciless person, he said that he was a merciless person who was accused of loyalty and good people, and he said that he was a traitor and a treacherous person who was accused of being a treacherous person... These are not a big problem. He saw a lot, and most of them could not even be in the hands of the emperor. Even if he could cry and explain a few words, the emperor would not pursue anything. But now there is a more fatal one, saying that when he was building and repairing royal buildings such as palaces and altars, he used the next advantage to make money, and the house he created was probably a hidden danger. This is closely related to the emperor's life, so he naturally could not fool him by casually, not to mention that the scene in front of him seemed to be evidence of this crime.

A palace as big as Jingren Palace should not collapse so easily and quickly when it catches fire. It is obvious that there was a problem with the quality of the palace when it was first built.

When the emperor began to doubt, the original crimes of disbelief seemed to have reasons for doubt.

Before Li Youde even finished reading, he hurriedly defended himself: "Emperor, I am loyal to the emperor and devoted myself to the emperor's worries. I worked day and night, but I didn't have a complaint. It is my honor to be able to serve the emperor in close proximity. How could I do those things that harm the country of Daliang? It's all nonsense, I'm wronged!"

The emperor looked at Li Youde and remembered that he was blocking his sword for himself outside the palace. Besides, Li Youde has done a good job in recent years, so he is willing to believe him. Even if he is really greedy, it doesn’t matter. If someone wants to do things, he can’t give nothing. Don’t go too far. He is so happy to turn a blind eye. But if this palace is built, if he falls asleep at night one day, the roof collapses...

The fire in Jingren Palace has been controlled, but anyone can see that it can't even keep a frame.

The emperor's expression gradually became gloomy. If Li Youde was so negligent in building the palace, he was afraid that his loyal appearance would be fake.

At this time, an eunuch hurried over and said, "Emperor, several Grand Secretary of the Cabinet are requesting to meet the emperor outside the Huiji Gate."

The emperor frowned: "Let them come in."

Li Youde suddenly looked up, but saw Wang Youcai on the side smile at him with a slight pride, then took a step back, as if everything had nothing to do with him.

Li Youde's pupils shrank slightly. Those cabinet ministers came to see the emperor, so there would be no good things! I'm afraid I'm going to take the blame!

When the emperor changed the place to see the cabinet minister, Li Youde was left in place. Wang Youcai then slowly approached and said with a smile: "Eunuch Li, your situation is probably not good, but do you want me to do some effort?"

Li Youde spat. If he said that Wang Youcai didn't make a thrust into it, he would never believe it. Wang Youcai said he wanted to do his best? It must be the force to kick him out of the abyss!

"Tsk, it's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin." Wang Youcai didn't care much. He took two steps back and looked at Li Youde, and said with a sigh, "Our grudge for more than ten years is about to be settled."

Li Youde didn't pay attention to Wang Youcai anymore. He was thinking about how to escape from the crime. Some of the questions he wrote in the question book, some of which he had done, some had not done, of course most of them, but what's the point? He, Wang Youcai, Cao Chun, who had never done those things? As long as the emperor didn't care, it was definitely not a problem. However... now the emperor seems to no longer believe in him. If Wang Youcai and the cabinet will fuel the fire, he is afraid that his life will be lost!

In a panic, Li Youde remembered Chen Huiniang who didn't know what happened. When he was at the gate of the palace, he was sure that the people he had placed earlier had seen his signal and had spread the news. He didn't know if it was too late. And what about Huiniang? With so much money and no longer had his restraint, she wanted to go wherever she wanted, what kind of man she would find in the future...

Li Youde clenched his fists and forced himself not to think about it anymore. No need to wait until that day, he would die. What should he do if he wanted to do so much? If she could still remember him in a few years, it would be considered that he would not spoil her in vain.

Seeing that Li Youde didn't plan to pay attention to him, Wang Youcai snorted and walked away.

Li Youde thought about it secretly for a while, then turned his head and saw the emperor coming back. He swallowed nervously, his mind was in a mess, but he had a very clear idea.

He wanted to survive. He had to survive. He didn't want to die like this without seeing Hui Niang!
