Chapter 123:-for-tat

Immediately afterwards, Concubine Bo said: "The women of our Great Qi Kingdom are all chaste and self-loving, how can they be born wild with the barbarians on the grassland?" This kind of statement is categorically unfounded, but if Nagardi is really Princess Dong's biological son, it is also a good thing. Because, if Gardi becomes a khan and has Princess Dong as a link, our Great Qi Kingdom will not rely on the great cause of our country to attack the grassland barbarians. ”

The thin toffee is prickly in the word.

Dong Rong didn't seem to hear it, and looked at the emperor gently, "Your Majesty, what do you think?" ”

The emperor hesitated for a moment and said, "I haven't figured out what this matter is going on, and it will take half a month for the spies to go back and forth." Originally, I also wanted to have a good chat with Princess Dong to find out what was going on. Now that Princess Dong took the initiative to enter the palace and came to my imperial study, I also asked the doubts in my heart by the way. ”

Dong Rong didn't mind, "If the emperor has anything you want to ask, just ask." ”

The emperor nodded slightly, and as a woman, Dong Rong's gentleness and Concubine Bo's bitterness were compared at once. The Emperor asked, "Do you know why Batu did this time?" ”

Dong Rong guessed that the emperor would ask, "I don't know exactly what happened on the grassland, but I won't give up when they attack my workshop." If Batu's target is only the workshop of my Zhongshan Palace, I have a way to deal with this matter. I'm afraid that Batu's intentions are not as simple as a few workshops. ”

What Dong Rong said was exactly what the emperor was most worried about.

When Concubine Bo saw Dong Rong say this, she couldn't hold back, and there was a mockery in her eyes that couldn't be concealed: "Princess Dong can realize that she has caused trouble for Daqi, which is really commendable." I just don't know what Princess Dong means when she says that she will handle it well. The people on the border of Daqi have been harassed for no reason, and some people have even been killed, and we cannot sit idly by, we must give them an explanation. ”

When did Concubine Bo become so merciful and cherish the lives of the common people so much?

Concubine Bo just glanced at Concubine Bo without being salty, and continued to say to the emperor: "We must first find out what Batu is doing this for, and secondly, we can prescribe the right medicine and find a good solution." ”

The emperor nodded, "What Princess Dong said makes sense, the spies have already gone to investigate." ”

Concubine Bo was displeased, especially Dong Rong glanced at her indifferently just now, which made her feel very unhappy, "Princess Dong, the emperor of the mourning family has already sued you just now, and the spy came back to report that it will be half a month later, if you know anything about the truth now, don't forget to tell us, this is good for you and for my country." ”

Concubine Bo's words were too ugly, but the emperor had to admit that Concubine Bo said what he also wanted to know.

Dong Rong saw the emperor's thoughts and said, "If you really want to say it, I'm afraid that the emperor will not believe it." ”

"It's okay, you just say it." The Emperor's tone remained gentle.

Concubine Bo saw that the emperor respected Dong Rong very much, and her heart suddenly became uncomfortable, the emperor was born to her Concubine Bo, and with her biological mother here, this little rabbit cub was so respectful to Dong Rong. If you don't know it, you still think that Concubine Bo is an outsider, and this Dong Rong and the emperor are relatives.

Concubine Bo deliberately squeezed out a smile and said to Dong Rong: "Yes, you say it, no matter what you say, the emperor of the mourning family will deal with this matter rationally." ”

Dong Rong nodded and smiled at Concubine Bo, who was deliberately pretending to be enthusiastic, but her eyes were still cold when she saw Concubine Bo's sour face, and turned to look at the emperor, "I don't know if the emperor has ever heard of a name." ”

"What's the name?" The emperor asked.

"Oriental feud."

Dong Rong had just said the name, and Concubine Bo panicked, and her original fake smile stiffened in the air, making it even more weird and dull.

The Emperor glanced at Concubine Bo, wondering why the name made his mother so nervous. Concubine Bo realized her gaffe, and quickly recovered her expression, and said to Dong Rong reproachfully: "I don't know where Princess Dong heard such a name, Princess Dong is a broad-minded person, and she naturally knows more people." The emperor is in the palace, and he has every opportunity, and he has endless government affairs to deal with every day, how can he know the name that Princess Dong found out from Yeluzi? ”

Dong Rong ignored Concubine Bo and looked at the emperor.

The emperor pondered for a moment and suddenly raised his head, "You mean Maitreya Sect Master Dongfang Qiu?" ”

Dong Rong nodded.

Concubine Bo immediately became angry and blamed Dong Rong, "What are you talking about? Princess Dong, the mourning family has always thought that you are an interesting woman, even if you have caused a catastrophe for our Great Qi country and the people of our Great Qi, I will deal with it patiently. What are you doing now suddenly saying a name you don't want to turn off? You have come to the palace today to deal with the great trouble you have caused? Or do you want to involve innocent people? ”

Concubine Bo reproached for a while, thinking that Dong Rong would be stunned, however, Dong Rong was unmoved, still calm, and what made Concubine Bo even more unacceptable was that Dong Rong didn't look at her at all, but just communicated with the emperor.

Dong Rong said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this Dongfang Qiu went to the grassland some time ago, and he went to meet someone. ”

"Batu? What will he do with Batu? The Emperor frowned.

Dong Rong was also a little puzzled, "Dongfang Qiu is a person from my Qi country, and it stands to reason that he doesn't need Batu's help with anything." ”

Need help from Batu......

These words aroused the alarmity of the emperor.

Dong Rong said again: "If Dongfang Qiu just wants to ruin my business, I am not afraid at all, what makes me uneasy is that if Dongfang Qiu and Batu join forces for something else, I am afraid the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

What Dong Rong said is not unreasonable, but it is too difficult for the emperor to immediately choose between Dong Rong's words and the minister's words to believe, so he can only let Dong Rong go back first and wait for new developments.

But Dong Rong was not as obedient as the emperor imagined, "Your Majesty, the concubines entered the palace today to prove my innocence and let the emperor allow my workshop to reopen." ”

"This ...... Let me think about it. The Emperor leaned back in his chair and fell into deep thought.

Dong Rong was not in a hurry, and waited quietly.

Concubine Bo couldn't be quiet, her cruel eyes swept straight towards Dong Rong, "Princess Dong really thinks that she just caused a catastrophe for us Daqi, and now she wants to reopen her door to do business?" Could it be that this Daqi's business is so good? Can't afford to delay a day? ”

Dong Rong smiled, "It's a matter of innocence, and you can't get it back with any amount of silver." ”

"Innocence?" Concubine Bo sneered, "If Princess Dong really feels that she is innocent, she should return to your mansion and wait for the arrangement of the imperial court according to what the mourning family said before." As for those workshops, if things are really as Princess Dong said, they will naturally return them to you and let you reopen your doors for business. ”

Dong Rong was puzzled, "Whether it's me or my workshop, I haven't done anything hurtful, why do you want to close it?" Just because the ministers said that Batu was provoked by me? The concubine believes that the emperor is wise, and can see what is going on, why did Maitreya Sect Leader Dongfang Qiu Yi go to the grassland and come back, my workshop on the grassland was destroyed, and Daqi's workshop was also sealed? ”

Concubine Bo snorted coldly, "Then only Princess Dong herself knows, just now the emperor and the mourning family asked Princess Dong to tell Princess Dong about the festival with Batu, which is good for you and me, but Princess Dong seems to have something unspeakable, and she is unwilling to speak, so, what else can we do?" I had to close those workshops for the time being, and then make plans when things came to light. ”

"Okay, my workshop can be closed for business. There are only two questions for the concubines, that is, where did the Maitreya sect leader Dongfang Qiu hide after returning from the grassland? Another question is who is the person behind Dongfang Qiu. ”

Dong Rong's tone was firm, and there was the end of Dayou and Concubine Bo to the end. Seeing that Dong Rong, who had always been gentle and easy to bully, had changed, Concubine Bo was slightly nervous.

However, this does not mean that Concubine Bo will admit defeat, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, "I didn't expect Princess Dong to care so much about that Maitreya Sect Master, since you care about him so much, how can you not know who the person behind him is?" ”

"Don't talk about it yet." Although the emperor's tone was not too cold, both Concubine Bo and Dong Rong could hear the displeasure, and both Concubine Bo and Dong Rong kept their mouths shut.

When Concubine Bo saw that the emperor had opened his eyes, she looked directly at the emperor and said in a resolute tone, "Emperor, this matter must be handled well, otherwise our Daqi country will be in danger." Although we are not afraid of the power of Batu at all, and we are not afraid of the power of the wild species of Gardi, after all, there is a saying that killing 10,000 enemies will cost 3,000 yourself. ”

Dong Rong looked at Concubine Bo, "Concubine Niangniang, the emperor will handle this matter wisely, you and I should not affect the emperor's judgment for the time being." In addition, Gardi was the child of the second prince and his beloved wife. The concubine is a concubine, so saying that he is a wild seed behind his back may lose the identity of the concubine. As for whether Batu invaded the border of our Daqi to provoke a war, we will have to wait for the spies to report back to find out, otherwise, all our worries will be of little use. ”

The emperor nodded, "What Princess Dong said is reasonable, Batu knows that the border of Daqi is sacrosanct, but he still has to do it, with ill intentions. It seems that this is good, and I have sent an envoy to speak with Batu and find out what he means. If this matter was not provoked by Princess Dong, I will return your innocence. ”

Dong Rong nodded slightly, she understood, no matter what, the young emperor would not immediately lift the seal on her workshop. Also, if anyone is in the position of the emperor, he will not underestimate this matter.

The country and the society do not tolerate the slightest joke and carelessness.

"What the emperor said, I listen. However, I have another thing to ask for, and I hope that the emperor can meet my request. Dong Rong said.

Concubine Bo glanced at Dong Rong contemptuously, and it was really shameless to make a request even if she was in trouble. R638
