Chapter 43: Appeasement
Chu Tianze returned to the Qianqing Palace and immediately entered the secret room of the inner hall. A group of guards were waiting inside.
"Lord!" The dark guards were well-trained and lined up in a row and bowed to Chu Tianze.
Chu Tianze didn't speak, he was a little colder than usual at this moment.
"Lord, Xiao Jiu and Eleven have joined Commander Lin." Xiao Yi reported to Chu Tianze.
"Did Lin Yan say when he would return to Beijing?"
"Commander Lin wants his subordinates to take the words, and within a month, he will not disgrace his mission!"
Chu Tianze nodded when he heard this.
Seeing that Xiao Yi finished his report, Xiao Er followed: "Lord, the batch of people brought back by King Ning has arrived in Changting County, and it is no surprise that he will be able to go to Beijing at noon tomorrow."
"What's wrong along the way?" Chu Tianze asked.
"The subordinates and Xiaoliu followed all the way, and they didn't find any changes." Xiao Er paused for a moment, and then said: "According to his subordinates, even if he is discovered by those people, it doesn't matter, His Royal Highness King Ning's friends in the rivers and lakes are not ordinary people, and they will not be easily succeeded by those people."
Chu Tianze frowned when he heard this: "It won't be so easy, those people are just afraid that they have already been targeted."
Xiao Er was a little surprised, but he naturally didn't doubt Chu Tianze's judgment.
"Although King Ning's friends in the rivers and lakes are strong in martial arts, they are all chivalrous people, and they are no worse than those people in terms of martial arts, but if they talk about the kung fu of the side door, they are only afraid that they are not opponents." Chu Tianze said coldly, "Let Xiao Liu and the others be vigilant, keep an eye on them in the dark, and if necessary, they can help those few knights of the rivers and lakes, and be sure to bring all the people back to Beijing safely!" ”
"Yes!" Xiao Er bowed down to receive the order.
After reporting the task, seeing that Chu Tianze had no other orders, the secret guards bowed down and wanted to retreat.
"Wait." Chu Tianze suddenly thought of something, and called out to the secret guard who wanted to leave.
"What does the Lord command?" The Dark Guard immediately returned to its original position.
"Which team is in charge of keeping an eye on the officials of the Three Law Divisions?"
"It's three." Xiao San stepped forward and replied.
"What changes can Zhiyuan, the young secretary of Dali Temple, make in the near future?"
Xiao San only thought for a moment and replied: "Back to the Lord, all the secret guards of the three teams who carry out this task, all the officials who find any abnormal movements will report to their subordinates, and their subordinates will also record them, and their subordinates have the impression that there are no officials on the list."
Chu Tianze nodded and waved his hand to signal that they could go.
The guards bowed down again and prepared to leave.
"Wait." Chu Tianze suddenly said again.
The dark guard is really a little curious this time, what's wrong with the Lord today? But his face remained silent.
"Inspector Zhiyuan may have a grudge against anyone in the DPRK and China recently."
"Yes."
"Go ahead!"
Out of the secret room, Chu Tianze returned to the inner hall and stood for a while, suppressing the faint urge to go to Qiwuyuan in his heart, and went to deal with the government. However, after working for most of the day, I finally couldn't bear the inner drive and went to Qiwuyuan alone. Chu Tianze was confused for the first time in more than 20 years, and he didn't like the feeling that his thoughts were not under his control.
Chu Tianze's arrival once again surprised everyone. Only Liu Liu and Yin Qiu were busy in the inner room, and they were all startled when they saw Chu Tianze.
"The slave has seen the emperor." Yin Qiu came back to his senses first and hurriedly saluted, and Liu Liu also reacted and saluted.
Chu Tianze glanced around casually, but didn't see the person he wanted to see: "What about your master?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the master is inside." Yinqiu pointed to the inner room.
"Sleeping?" Chu Tianze doubted.
"The master hasn't gone to bed yet." Yin Qiu said busily, for fear that Chu Tianze would blame the official for being careless.
"Then why don't you serve inside?" Chu Tianze remembered that there were only a few people around Guanguan.
"Back to the emperor, the master was a little depressed after he came back today, saying that he wanted to stay alone for a while, the master was sympathetic to the slaves and maids, and asked us to go down to rest first, and the slaves and maids couldn't persuade them."
Chu Tianze frowned, he knew why Guan Guan was worried, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritable in his heart, he told her like that, this woman didn't trust him so much!
He waved his hand at Yinqiu and motioned for them to stand down. I walked towards the inner room by myself.
The door was not closed, and Chu Tianze pushed it open. Seeing Guan Guan carefully threading the needle under the lamp, his head slightly bowed, and his movements were graceful and soft, Chu Tianze subconsciously didn't want to disturb her, so he only walked to her lightly.
Chu Tianze looked at Guan Guan's focused appearance, and his heart was peaceful. Guan Guan Xu was too focused on embroidery, and he didn't realize that there was already one more person around him.
"What are you embroidering?"
Guan Guan was really surprised, such a close voice...... didn't dare to react more, turned around and said, "The concubine has seen the emperor." ”
"Let's be flat." Chu Tianze said flatly.
Guan Guan had been worried about his father's affairs all day long, and he wanted to be calmer in front of Chu Tianze, but it didn't seem to escape his eyes.
Chu Tianze saw Guan Guan's slightly frowning eyebrows, endured his anger, and said helplessly: "Didn't I say it?" Your dad is fine, you don't need to think too much. ”
Xu is Chu Tianze's concern made Guan Guan feel dependable, and he was also anxious in his heart, Guan Guan actually forgot what identity rules, but in fact, he couldn't take care of it. Guan Guan couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, can the concubines know what happened?" ”
Chu Tianze looked at Guan Guan's aggrieved look, and his heart softened, and it didn't hurt to talk to her. Chu Tianze looked at Guan Guan and said, "It's a matter of the great drought in the north." ”
Chu Tianze roughly told Guan Guan about the case, Guan Guan was shocked after hearing this, and he also knew that he didn't know the seriousness of asking about it, so he hurriedly asked for the guilt: "The concubine is guilty, such a big matter, the concubine shouldn't ask about it." ”
"I've asked everything, I've said everything, isn't it too late to say this?" Chu Tianze said expressionlessly, "Get up!" ”
Guan Guan said in a low voice: "The concubine will be as if she has never heard of anything, and she is tight-lipped." ”
Chu Tianze smiled: "Actually, it's fine, the day after tomorrow I will clear up this matter in the court." Chu Tianze didn't want to continue the topic with Guanguan, his eyes fell back on the embroidery, and he was curious: "What are you embroidering?" ”
Chu Tianze changed the topic, and Guan Guan was happy. Guan Guan followed Chu Tianze's gaze and also glanced at it, and replied: "Back to the emperor, the concubine is preparing for tomorrow's banquet to send embroidery to His Royal Highness King Ning." ”
"Still preparing?"
"It's almost finished, but today the concubine saw His Royal Highness King Ning, and suddenly wanted to add something to it would be better, so she ......"
Chu Tianze was a little unhappy after hearing this, he hadn't received anything from her yet: "What are you going to do so seriously about what you gave to King Ning?" ”
Guan Guan didn't understand the deep meaning of Chu Tianze's words for a while, and was puzzled: "Huh? ”
Chu Tianze didn't care if she heard it or not, and said to himself: "I'll embroider one another day." Without waiting for Guan Guan to react, Chu Tianze had already walked to the door: "Rest early, that embroidery did not disappoint me." ”
When Guan Guan reacted, Chu Tianze had already arrived outside. Guan Guan couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth slightly, and replied softly: "The concubine obeys the order." ”
