357 To each his own mind
Old Madam Liu listened to Xiao Yuanzhu's words, and couldn't help but be stunned, and saw Xiao Yuanzhu break free of her hand, and then put the white and somewhat transparent palm on top of the carbon basin, and her fingers reflected the fire in the carbon basin, faintly red.
Old Madam Liu pursed her lips lightly, and said quietly: "Your Highness is blaming us for the matter with King Xiang?"
Xiao Yuanzhu lowered his eyes and looked at his palm, but did not speak.
Seeing this, Mrs. Liu's eyebrows frowned, and she said: "How can Your Highness be so confused, the Duke of Zheng Guofu has assisted you for so many years, and he has been loyal to you, how can he ever have two hearts for you, you should know the thoughts of me and Grandpa Guo, Your Highness is not only a master but also a relative to us, and we will never betray Your Highness and throw yourself to others." ”
"Then King Xiang didn't know where he learned what we had been secretly doing over the years, and knew the power hidden in our hands, so he tried his best to win over the Zhengguo Mansion, the strings were confused, and he was held by the King of Xiang for the sake of a woman, and the things that King Xiang did were just to tell the world that he was close to our Zheng Guogong Mansion, and our Zheng Guogong Mansion leaned towards him, but what is the truth, isn't His Royal Highness clear?"
"Whether it's me or Grandpa Guo, we and His Highness have long been honored and disgraced, and we will never assist others, Your Highness is so smart, are you also deceived by these things?"
Xiao Yuanzhu listened to Mrs. Liu's words and smiled, of course he would not be deceived by others, let alone be confused by Xiao Minyuan's closeness to the Zheng Guo Mansion, he had already understood from the moment he knew his identity that he and the Wen family and the Zheng Guo Mansion had long been tied together.
Whether it is true or false, the Wen family can only choose him, and they must choose him, even if they have other thoughts, or really want to use him as a stepping stone to fulfill their ambitions, Wen Zhenghong will not be stupid enough to get close to other princes at this time, so what is happening now is just Xiao Minyuan's wishful thinking.
But even so, what can be?
Is that fairy grass fake?
Or are they poisoning him and trying to turn him into a puppet?
It is true that he never hoped that there would be someone in this world who would treat him sincerely, but when the only soft place was also infected with worldly calculations and unbearable gloom, why couldn't he ...... Ruined it?
Xiao Yuanzhu bent his fingers, as if he wanted to grasp the warmth of the charcoal fire: "The old lady is too worried, I and the Wen family have long been one, if it weren't for you and Grandpa Guo, I would have died a long time ago, where did I come from today?"
"I remember the kindness of you and Grandpa Guo to me, and I can't repay you too much, how can I be suspicious of you?"
Old Madam Liu listened to Xiao Yuanzhu's words, and looked at the expression on his face as before, but she didn't relax at all, just frowned and looked at Xiao Yuanzhu.
Xiao Yuanzhu said softly: "In fact, I already knew about King Xiang's affairs, whether it was he paying off the debt of 40,000 taels for Brother Wen, or later he took Brother Wen to another courtyard, and even embarrassed the Duchess of the country, just to force the grandfather of the country to comply, the grandfather of the country is not a stupid person, if he really wants to take refuge in King Xiang and do something for King Xiang, how can he expose his relationship with King Xiang at this time?"
"Others don't know about the Wen family's previous affairs, don't I know yet, how jealous my father is of the Zheng Guo Mansion, no one knows better than me, at this time, he took refuge in King Xiang and mixed into the battle for the heir, which undoubtedly sent the Zheng Guo Mansion and the Wen family to a dead end. ”
"Grandpa Guo won't be so stupid, and you will never agree to let him do this, old lady. ”
When Mrs. Liu heard Xiao Yuanzhu's words, she believed it, he really didn't have any dislike for them because of King Xiang, she couldn't help frowning and said, "Since you know that this matter has nothing to do with us, why did you let the second child of the Yin family replace Wu Xing's errand?"
Xiao Yuanzhu said to her: "Before Wu Xing joined the military department, he led his troops to Qinglan to suppress bandits. ”
"Does the old lady know the relationship between the Arsenal Clearance Division and the Hyogo Division, if you enter the Arsenal Clearance Division, you are equivalent to half of the people of the Hyogo Division, who doesn't stare at this position? Although Wu Xingmou is only a five-rank Lang Zhongzhong, if he wants to join the army, the whole military department, and even the Zhenyuan Marquis Shizi, who controls the Hyogo Division, will definitely check all of Wu Xing's past. Wu Xing's things in Qinglan back then were not secretive, if someone sincerely reckoned with them, it would be a matter of time before they were exposed, once they were found out, let alone the military department, I am afraid that they would not even be able to save their lives. ”
"I know that Wu Xing has an in-law with Grandpa Guo, and the matter of his joining the military department was promoted by Grandpa Guo, but if something happens to him, the old lady thinks that the Wu family is unlucky, and Grandpa Guo can still stay out of the matter?"
Old Madam Liu only knew that Wu Xing was a relative of the Wu family, but she never knew that he had done such a bastard thing, at this time, listening to Xiao Yuanzhu's words, her face couldn't help but be a little ugly, and she was even more dissatisfied with Wen Zhenghong's vision of choosing people.
Xiao Yuanzhu continued: "Wu Xing is not suitable for the position of Langzhong in the military department at all, rather than letting him stay and become a hidden danger, it is better to let the Yin family replace him, it is better than after Wu Xing's matter is revealed, that position is cheaper for others." ”
After finishing speaking, Xiao Yuanzhu looked at Old Madam Liu and said: "I originally wanted to discuss this matter with Grandpa Guo, but in the past few days, the matter on King Xiang's side has been in an uproar, and my father is already suspicious, and he is already dissatisfied with this matter. ”
"Among the people around me, there are only Yin Zheng of the Yin family who have the qualifications and ability to replace Wu Xing, and after the opening of the dynasty, this matter will be decided, so I will directly let people replace them, the old lady should not blame me for making my own decisions, right?"
Old Madam Liu hurriedly shook her head when she heard this: "Naturally not." ”
"That's good. ”
Xiao Yuanzhu smiled, and accompanied Mrs. Liu to talk for a while, the two seemed to return to the previous intimacy, and when there was a knock on the door outside, Xiao Yuanzhu knew that it was Lu Feng telling him that it was time to go back.
Xiao Yuanzhu got up and said, "It's not early, I should go back." ”
Old Madam Liu hurriedly stood up and said with concern: "Be careful when you go back, and pay more attention to your body." ”
As she spoke, she took out two delicate porcelain bottles from her sleeves, handed them to Xiao Yuanzhu and said: "This is a newly made pill, the medicinal effect is stronger than the previous ones, if you feel unwell, take two pills, and when you run out, send someone to tell me, and I will have someone send it to you." ”
Xiao Yuanzhu's eyes darkened slightly, and after a while, he reached out and took the porcelain vase, and said with a smile: "Okay." ”
