20. Chapter XIX
I sighed that it was pointless to go on with such a stalemate, and sat up: "My brother came to call me, but it's time for lunch?" ”
This time, His Majesty knew how to avoid suspicion, and after answering, he bypassed the screen and stood on the opposite side.
Before I got married, my father also had a cook at home, in order to enrich me a little, at most I could buy some delicate snacks, and then I came to Peony Villa and was helpless, often forgotten, so I had to buy some food by myself, and I went back and forth to ask for good craftsmanship. After being reborn, he cooked for His Majesty, although he didn't say it on the surface, he must still like it in his heart, but whenever I cooked, he would hold two more chopsticks.
It can be seen that my eagle dog still has room to play, I dressed myself neatly with my hands and feet, shook a glance in front of the bronze mirror, and then walked out of the screen: "I'm fine, let's go, let's eat." ”
His Majesty glanced me up and down, and followed me out without saying a word.
After I went out, I walked straight to the kitchen, bypassed the two corridors, and found that His Majesty was still following me. Then he turned around and said, "Brother, is there anything else?" Is there anything you would like to eat at noon? ”
He looked away and sighed just when I thought I was thinking too much. "It's about dogs."
When I heard this, I was shocked: "What's wrong?" What's wrong with it? ”
"It's not."
I withdrew my chin and whispered, "That's good, scare me." ”
His Majesty walked in front of me in two steps and glanced at me from the corner of his eye: "When you see Chu Chu today, isn't it bad for the whole person?" Why can't you resist asking me? ”
I was surprised at first, but I didn't expect that in the presence of Si Ningxue, His Majesty would still have the mind to notice that I was in a bad mood. Since the words were spread out, I didn't hide it anymore, and glanced at my lower lip: "How do you ask this?" After all, I want to come here myself, and if you give me a dog that no one else wants, you must not bite me back. ”
His Majesty sneered: "Didn't I rush up to explain to you now, but you bit me back?" ”
I was choked. His Majesty stretched out his hand and grabbed my hair, as if he was helping my hairpin.
"In addition to this lotus hairpin, it is rare for you to wear other jewelry, and when you return to the city, buy more for it." Yubi took out a stack of silver tickets from his sleeve and handed it to me.
I took it inexplicably and slightly excitedly, and then cleared my throat and said, "I am a principled person, brother, it is useless for you to buy me with money." I still have to listen to the explanation. ”
His Majesty didn't mind my excited gibberish, "Didn't I tell you that the dog was forced into me by someone else." ”
I raised my voice to show my appreciation.
"I went out the day before yesterday to ask about the Peony Villa at the Information Circulation Center. The collusion of the forces involved in the palace all the way was originally in secret. The power itself is outside the court, and the relationship has changed two levels, so you can't find out which party did it to you. Naturally, you have to find a wider range of eyes and ears and check by yourself. ”
His Majesty said that he personally went to help me check the Peony Villa, and I immediately felt a little unprincipled soft-hearted, and my attitude was much better: "What can that brother find out?" ”
"Naturally, it is because of a mere pharmacist, just because he is a relative of the prime minister, and the officials who have dealings with them behind their backs are far beyond my expectations." His majesty's tone was obviously a little lower, but after touching my cautious eyes, he retracted, "Later, I met Ji Yunqing, who stuffed the dog to me. ”
I didn't expect it to be such a god turn, "Huh? "How could it be him?" ”
His Majesty also seemed to be smiling: "He came to surrender to me with the dog, saying that it was his sincerity of allegiance to me, and asked me to take it to find Si Ningxue." ”
After going around in such a big circle, I finally understood, and said angrily: "That dog is not for Si Ningxue!" ”
His Majesty glanced at me: "You have eaten ridiculously vinegar, which ear of you heard me say that you are going to give it to Si Ningxue?" I remembered that it was getting late, and you woke up alone and felt uneasy about staying in a strange place; Second, your little first love is going to be dangling in front of your eyes again, can't I take him away for you first, how can I take care of anything else? You don't know how much of a worry it takes to take care of an individual! ”
I blushed, but I was ashamed of what he said, thought about it, rubbed my way over to please him and pulled his sleeve: "Brother, you are talking so loudly, you deliberately let me misunderstand." It's my fault, and I apologize to you. No wonder you met Ji Yunqing in the carriage yesterday and was not in a good mood, and he couldn't drive away with his feelings. ”
His majesty didn't accept my flattery, pulled his sleeve out of my hand, and turned his face away: "Raising a girl is sad." ”
I made a face: "I'm not your daughter." ”
As if he hadn't heard this, he patted me on the head and passed by: "Let's go, I'll go to dinner when I'm angry." ”
“……”
I was in a much better mood, I even ate an extra bowl of rice, thinking that I had a huge amount of money in my pocket, and I imagined that I had put on wings, and I was flying freely to plan all kinds of purchases, after all, I had been poor for a long time and had never seen the world.
After eating, His Majesty interrupted my fantasy and asked me to go to the study. Then he asked me to try to recall the forces I had seen in my previous life that were related to Peony Villa.
Intrigue is not good, my memory is still very good, I wrote dozens of pages freely, and almost memorized the genealogy of the relevant people: "Maybe there are still some gaps." Also...... "I picked out three of the pages," these people will also have interests in each other, and it can be considered a small group. Although they are all forces in the rivers and lakes, if one family cannot pull the relationship between the DPRK and China, or if there are many families, there will be other ways. Although Peony Villa is related to the prime minister, if you want to kill a person, you will definitely not be involved in the prime minister, because of a small loss. ”
His Majesty nodded, looked carefully at the three pages I had picked out, and circled the names of the two people. They belong to the Ye and Chen families: "These two people were promoted a year before you entered the palace, and they each have official positions in the court, which is indeed a doorway that I didn't find in my previous life." ”
I don't know this, after all, I am a married woman who lives in the boudoir, and the information is not updated quickly, but it is just a collection of what I have heard.
陛xià put down the pen: "Can the list be the same next time?" ”
I said, "The location is exactly the same as the layout?" ”
He answered yes, and put the list I had worked so hard to write for a long time in an iron basin and burned it, and I didn't even have a chance to memorize it again.
"As a result, there are still many suspects. Fortunately, we still have more time, so we can check them one by one. You can have a long heart in the future, save anyone's way or offend anyone, people want you to live for yourself but you are still confused. ”
