Chapter 1310 Appeasement

But today, he was inexplicably afraid of Bai Qingyan.

He dare not say that he is deep in the city, but at least he is older than Bai Qingyan, even older than Bai Qishan, and he can always hide his thoughts, but now he is held high by that... He thinks it is the little girl's Bai Qing said, seeing it so thoroughly.

It is impossible to say that Sima Yan was not surprised, he even panicked for a moment.

"So..." Bai Qingyan put the teacup in his hand heavily on the table, and the porcelain cup knocked loudly, "Master Sima, please don't think that I'm not old and you can fool me casually, let's be honest! "

Sima Yan's mind was buzzing, and he immediately kowtowed to Bai Qingyan, his forehead was knocked so hard that his eyes were filled with stars: "My minister is terrified, I will never dare to fool Your Majesty!"

In fact, Sima Yan also understood that since Bai Qingyan valued Sima Ruodan, he would definitely send someone to investigate the cause and effect of the matter when he came back. At the beginning, he had already done something because of his mother, and he had definitely killed Sima Ruodan. Thinking that people die like a lamp goes out, no one will know everything, it's just a fluke... and I don't want to take care of it anymore, so I didn't send anyone to finish it.

Mother has not asked about the affairs of the family for many years, and there are not many capable people in her hands, which will definitely leave all kinds of loopholes, and Bai Qingyan now is the time when there are many capable people in her hands.

In just a short moment, Sima Yan's heart turned a thousand times, and cold sweat broke out on his back. He quickly kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, no matter who did it, it all happened in our Sima Mansion. As the head of the Sima family, Sima Yan should naturally Take everything on your shoulders, please forgive Sima Yan's heart, punish Sima Yan, and spare my family!"

As soon as Sima Yan finished speaking, Wei Zhong hurried in and covered his lips and whispered in Bai Qingyan's ear, "Your Majesty, Sima Zhongcheng's mother, Mrs. Sima is in Dali Temple at the moment, and she said that she thought she had harmed her. Princess Xiangxie asked Dali Temple for punishment, and brought a confession... Dali Temple is still in the right place, so it has not been sent over for the time being."

This was beyond Bai Qingyan's expectation, but it was also reasonable.

Bai Qingyan nodded to show that he knew, then turned to look at Sima Yan who was still kneeling on the ground, knocking on the table with his fingers: "Master Sima, Mrs. Sima has already gone to Dali Temple to admit that she has harmed Xiangxie. Princess, you also brought your own confession."

Sima Yan knew that his mother knew that he had come to the palace to plead guilty to the emperor, and she was afraid that he would be implicated, so she went to Dali Temple to plead guilty first. I don't know why Sima Yan, who was originally determined to take the blame for his mother, was inexplicably relieved , but it is inevitable that the eye sockets will become hot.

"Your Majesty, please read it for the sake of Weichen's mother's old age. Sima Yan will be responsible for all the crimes. Sima Yan is willing to resign... to serve the mother in vain." Sima Yan kowtowed again, sincerely.

"Master Sima owns the laws of the country. It doesn't mean that you can obey the law for your mother if you want to. Besides... your mother's life is your life, so the life of Princess Xiangxie's mother is not life? The life of Princess Xiangxie Is it not fate?" Bai Qingyan's voice paused, and his tone slowed down and said to Sima Yan, "Master Sima, I value Sima Ping very much..."

Hearing this, Sima Yan tightened his hands on the ground, understanding what this sentence meant.

"Sima Ping, like Master Sima, is very cautious, and it is this caution that has saved the lives of many soldiers on the battlefield." Bai Qingyan saw Sima Yan's back was stiff, and said, "The law of the country cannot be messed up, but... If you want Sima Ping to have a smoother future, at least Sima Ping's father can't cause any trouble for Sima Ping, do you understand?"

Sima Yan's back was tense, his throat seemed to be choked and he couldn't make a sound, so he could only kowtow heavily to Bai Qingyan to show that he understood.

She ordered Sima Yan because she wanted to use Sima Ping, and also because...she wanted to use Sima Yan.

Sima Yan is capable, and now Dazhou needs talents, regardless of their age.

She has said what she should say, Sima Yan is a smart person, whether he is willing to be used by her or not, he knows what to do.

In any case, no one can violate the laws of the country.

"Now that you understand, let's go..." Bai Qingyan picked up the teacup again, "You can be filial, but you can't interfere in this matter, just like the Bai family made a mistake, I can't interfere, and I have to deal with it according to the laws of the country. It must not be tolerated!"

Sima Yan kowtowed again with tears in his eyes, and exited the hall respectfully.

Coming out of the main hall, Sima Yan looked at the resplendent palace with double eaves and red walls and gold tiles illuminated by the dazzling golden light, but felt chills in his heart.

For Sima Yan, who used to be an official in the Jin Dynasty, as long as he had the money and power, even if he killed someone, he could save him. If you don't hate, how can you not feel uncomfortable?

If he is an official and achieves the position of Yushi Zhongcheng, but still can't save his mother, what's the fun of being an official.

But Sima Yan was tormented when he thought of his clever young son, and what Bai Qingyan said just now.

According to the law, the mother forced Sima Ruodan's mother to death, and then sent people to chase and kill Sima Ruodan. Although it was unsuccessful...but an exile was inevitable.

How can my mother bear it in her old age!

Sima Yan closed his eyes and slowly clenched his hands behind his back into fists. He thought of a best-of-both-worlds solution, which would not only protect Sima Ping's future, but maybe... also help his three children's future.

Thinking of this, Sima Yan lifted his robe and walked down the high steps.

Chun Zhi brought a plate of snacks to Bai Qingyan, and said softly to Bai Qingyan: "Is the eldest lady still going to see the little prince and princess at the madam's place? Just now I heard that Mrs. Dong is also entering the palace today."

After being delayed by Sima Yan for so long, Bai Qingyan, who originally wanted to continue reviewing the memorial, got up and went to his mother when he heard that his grandmother had arrived.

Compassion Palace.

After Mrs. Dong entered the palace, she took off her official clothes and changed into the ordinary clothes prepared by Mrs. Dong. She said that she was afraid that the child would be uncomfortable when holding the child, but in fact it was to make Mrs. Dong more comfortable.

Mrs. Dong took turns holding the two children and refused to let go. The more she looked at them, the more she liked them: "I come to the palace every now and then to see the two children, but I still can't get enough of them! This child is bigger than Changlan's child when he was born. I'm so thin, I'm worried! Now it's all right... The two children are growing stronger and stronger!"

The two children, Mrs. Dong, love each other like something. They panic when they don't see each other for a day, but after all, Mrs. Dong still cares about the rules in the palace. Their relatives entered the palace all the time, and Dong's family was suspected of being a big one.

So Mrs. Dong sent people to pick up Mrs. Dong every now and then, saying that she missed her mother.
