When the King of Liao and the step-concubine of the King of Liao returned to the capital with their two sons, it was the hottest summer season.

When they first came to the hot and dry capital from Liaodong, which was much cooler, not to mention how uncomfortable it was. The step-concubine of the King of Liao also suffered from heat stroke, and she was lying in the car and entered the city gate. She was dizzy, her brain was swollen, her chest was tight and her breath was short, her appetite was lost, and she wanted to throw up. I didn't sleep well at night, my face was pale, and I had dark circles under my eyes, and I was embarrassed. I was about to arrive at the Liaowang Mansion in the capital, so I had a good rest for a few days, but after entering the mansion, I found that the henchmen and old servants who were originally placed here were gone.

At least more than half of the stewards in the Liao Wangfu have changed, and the rest are not the cronies of the Liao Wang's step-concubine. What's more, a female steward she left in the main courtyard of the palace was missing, that was her former dowry girl, only because she was assigned to the long-term follower of the King of Liao, her husband was appointed as the head of the palace in the capital, sent to the capital to garrison, and brought his wife and children with him, so she was arranged to come here to take up an idle position. She may not be able to come to the capital once in a few years, but the housekeeper and his wife will go to the Liaodong palace every year to ask for peace during the Chinese New Year and her husband's birthday. Obviously, everything is fine in the first month, but it has only been half a year, how can someone disappear with her husband?! And the disappearance of this female steward is not counted, even the girl who was transferred from the Liaodong Palace two years later has also disappeared!

The face of the step-concubine of the King of Liao became more and more ugly. She was suspicious of Zhao Mo. In Layue, Zhao Mo was summoned by the emperor to Beijing to listen to it, and he has been living in the palace of the king of Liao. And after she heard the news, she also had the intention of calculating. specially sent two Peugeot and clever girls back to Beijing with the steward and his wife, just thinking about taking advantage of a loophole, but he didn't expect to find an opportunity for a long time. The step-concubine of the King of Liao was still thinking about it, when her husband and wife entered Beijing, they took the advantage of being an elder, and rewarded their grandson with two stunning rooms, no one could say that she was not, and Zhao Mo couldn't avoid it no matter how much he wanted to avoid it. Who would have thought that these two people would disappear without a trace? said that this matter had nothing to do with Zhao Mo, so she didn't believe it!

The step-concubine of the king of Liao glanced at a few girls standing in front of the bed, although there were some familiar ones, but none of them were the ones she was used to, she couldn't trust them, so she let the maids who came from Liaodong accept the affairs of the house, drove out all the people in the palace of the capital, and ordered someone to pass on a few stewards whose names they remembered.

In the end, there were only two people, a man and a woman, but they were not husband and wife. The man is in charge of receiving guests in the concierge, and the woman is in charge of the kitchen. Both of them were in their current positions a few years ago, and they can be regarded as competent, and occasionally have better performances, so the step-concubine of the Liao King has a good impression of both of them.

She asked them, "Where are the other stewards?"

The porter replied that the chief steward was sick with tuberculosis and could not get up, and that his wife and children had taken leave to take care of him. Because they were worried that they would be sick, they didn't dare to call their family to ask the princess and princess to say goodbye.

As for the other stewards, some broke their legs, some were sent to the countryside because of a sudden illness, some were broken because they were jealous of fighting with others in a brothel, and they were still holding up their corpses at home, some were drunk and drowned, and some were even suspected of committing crimes and were arrested and put in prison by the Shuntian Mansion. In short, the sick, the wounded, the closed, the dead, none of them will be able to return to the Liao Wangfu on an errand within a year and a half.

Especially the one who was arrested and put in prison for committing a big crime, it is better for the Liao Wangfu not to recognize people, and not to shield him. His evidence is conclusive, and if he really wants to save it reluctantly, it will only affect the reputation of the palace.

The step-concubine of the king of Liao was not interested in losing the reputation of the palace and went to the prison to get a little steward. She didn't come to Beijing this time to enjoy the mountains and rivers, she still had important things to do! How could she affect her precious son's future for the sake of an insignificant subordinate?

She just thought, how could things be so coincidental? When she decided to enter Beijing in March, she sent a letter to the palace here, and everything was fine in the palace at that time! Even Zhao Mo, who was temporarily living here, was honest, and as long as the people in the palace did not provoke him, he would not be embarrassed by others. Although the courtyard where he lives is too tightly guarded, so that the two girls can't find a crack if they want to exploit the loophole, he is still doing something out of the ordinary in this palace. How is it that less than three months have passed, and almost all of her cronies have been lost?!

She didn't believe it! In such a short period of time, those stewards all fell ill, were injured, died, and were arrested as if they had made an appointment, this must be someone else's trick! Is it Zhao Mo? Or Zhao Shuo?!

She looked at the two stewards in front of her with suspicion. They are still in their original position and have not been affected, what is the reason? Although these two people are not their own cronies, but more like the people of the King of Liao, if Zhao Shuo and Zhao Mo's father and son have the heart to cleanse the stewards of the Liao Wang's mansion, how could they leave the two of them for no reason? Could it be that these two people are not their cronies, but more like the people of the King of Liao...... They turned their backs on Zhao Shuo?!

The concierge steward and the inner kitchen steward both showed a dignified and simple expression as if they were not aware of the suspicion of the concubine of the Liao king. This is also the reason why the King of Liao trusted them and promoted them to be stewards. They invariably claimed that although several stewards fell ill, were injured, caught, and died suddenly, it was really just a coincidence, and they were related to each other!

First, because someone was seriously injured in a brothel, and when the other stewards rushed to save people, one of them fell from his horse and broke his leg. Because it was late at night, it was raining that day, and after the chief manager rescued the man, he got a cold. But because the prince and princess were about to go to Beijing, in order to prepare, he was busy day and night, did not have a good rest, and did not have time to see a doctor, so that his condition worsened and turned into typhoid fever, so he could only go to the countryside to recuperate. Other stewards approached him unknowingly, and they were also infected, and they were sent to the countryside together. The chief steward is gone, and the power of the palace is to be taken over by someone else, and in order to compete for power, the two stewards fight fiercely, one of them exposes the crimes committed by the other in the past, so that the latter is arrested and imprisoned by the Shuntian Mansion. He was about to rejoice in his victory, but he was so happy and sad that he got drunk in the restaurant, and on the way home, he accidentally fell into the river and died.

The step-concubine of the king of Liao listened calmly. If this is the case, then some of these people are really unlucky, and some deserve it. She was angry that they had an accident at an inopportune time, but her physical discomfort became more and more serious, and she no longer had the energy to ask any more, so she could only hurriedly send the two stewards away and sleep first.

The porter and the kitchen manager withdrew from the upper room, exchanged glances with each other quietly, and then left.

Now they have indeed betrayed their original master, and they have been coerced and lured by the prince Zhao Shuo, and have changed their position. However, they did not go to Zhao Shuo, the prince with a bad reputation and a bleak future, but took a fancy to Zhao Mo, the eldest son of the prince, and now Zhao Mo, the king of Suning County, who is now receiving holy favor. Although Zhao Shuo is not very smart, he has a good saying. With his son's face in the royal family now, as long as he, Zhao Shuo, did not commit the crime of rebellion, the emperor would never change the prince of Liao.

What's more, he has a bad reputation, and his two half-brothers don't necessarily have a good reputation. Zhao has been in the prison of the Zongren Mansion, and no one in the clan will support him to become the prince, even the position of the prince and concubine that ordinary princes and concubines can get, he doesn't want to think about it; Zhao Yan framed his brother at a young age, and he was even more misbehaving, which was disgusting. With just the two of them, how could they take away his position as the son of the world? Unless the Liao king's step-concubine, Lao Bengshengzhu, gave birth to another son-in-law, there was still hope to fight. But at this age, can she still give birth? Even if she is really born, as a young son, she wants to grow up to an age where she can compete with her eldest brother for power and profit, and she doesn't know how many years later.

The two stewards have been sitting firmly in their current position for more than ten years, so they are naturally not stupid people. Zhao Shuo's analysis is reasonable, the King of Liao and his step-concubine, as well as the two sons they gave birth to, are really bleak. Although Zhao Shuo's future is not necessarily bright, he has a good son! After being slaves in the palace for many years, they know that if they want to live a good life, they must follow a reliable master. If someone is willing to recruit them, why should they cling to a wrecked ship that is about to sink?

Anyway, Zhao Mo, the king of Suning County, had already contacted them privately. He didn't need them to do anything dangerous, he just needed to help deliver some news. Of course, when necessary, there may be a place where they can be used, but for the sake of secrecy, they will not be allowed to reveal their identities.

The two stewards trusted Zhao Mo even more than Zhao Shuo. Now that they saw that they had easily passed the level of the step-concubine of the Liao Wang, their hearts were much more settled, so they each returned to their posts and fulfilled their tasks with all their hearts, as if they were really the most loyal servants of the Liao King and the Liao Princess.

The step-concubine of the king of Liao lay on the bed with a headache and groaned, and the king of Liao took his two sons into the house, and she didn't care.

Seeing this, the King of Liao coughed low and asked her, "Is it better?" I asked the kitchen to bring you some light rice porridge and side dishes, how much can you eat? I have already sent someone to grab the medicine according to the prescription prescribed by the house doctor, and when the medicine is boiled, you can drink a bowl and you will be fine." ”

The concubine of the king of Liao sneered: "According to me, the doctor we brought from Liaodong has prescribed us a prescription." I don't know how many medicines I took from him along the way, but it didn't work. Since he is so incompetent, what else should he do? He has already entered the capital, so it is better to invite a doctor seriously! The medical skills of the doctor are better than those of the government doctor. ”

The King of Liao did not trust the medical skills of the imperial doctors: "No matter how high their medical skills are, what is the use? When they prescribe prescriptions to nobles, they never dare to show their true skills, and they will only prescribe some Taiping prescriptions, for fear of getting into trouble." Those Taifang, eating it can't cure your disease, and it's not as reliable as our own house doctor. ”

The step-concubine of the king of Liao pouted: "The prince will only say that the imperial doctor is not good, but I have taken the medicine of the imperial doctor in the past, and I think it is good, where is it like what the prince said?"

She is not so cautious about her husband now, and sometimes she can't help but lose her temper a little. The King of Liao indulged her tightly, but did not care, but repeatedly coaxed her in a low voice until her anger was smoothed out. Now that she is talking back, the King of Liao is not angry, but only turns his head and orders the girls to get some pills to relieve the heat and give them to his wife.

The second son, Zhao, came to his mother's bedside: "Mother, we have all arrived in the capital, aren't we...... It's time to deliver a letter to Chen's house?"

Facing her son, the step-concubine of the king of Liao immediately changed her face and smiled very lovingly: "It's time to hand over a post to his family, but the mother concubine is not feeling well, and I'm afraid I will have to wait a few more days before I can see them." I'll be patient, and I'll wait a little longer. This time, the mother concubine will take care of you to marry a peugeot and virtuous daughter-in-law!"

Zhao smiled with satisfaction: "His family's other family, I didn't think much of it." But Chen Liangdi is only under the crown princess in the East Palace, so she should give the prince a face. By the way, it has to be a concubine! No, I won't want it. ”

Zhao Yan watched his brother coquettish to his mother with a sneer on his face. 2k reading web
