Chapter Twenty-Three: Concubine Shu and Ming Wu
Chapter 23 Concubine Shu and Ming Wu
"Get up!" Concubine Shu walked to Hongfu's side, looked down at Hongfu who was kneeling on the ground, and frowned.
"Xie Niangniang!" After Hongfu poured his thanks, he wanted to stand up, but unfortunately he knelt for too long, and now he can't think about it. After a few efforts, he simply gave up. "Niangniang's kind slave understands it, but the slave is cheap by nature, so let's kneel and talk back to Niangniang!"
"Then you can kneel!" Walking to the side of the recliner, Concubine Shu leaned comfortably on the recliner, drank the tea prepared in advance by Zhuxiang, and said indifferently.
"Did you get an eye on what you asked about last time?" After a long while, Concubine Shu asked.
"Back to Niangniang, I found out, His Royal Highness King Xian did leave the border without permission, and now the situation is unknown." Kneeling upright, Hongfu said loudly.
"Oh? If he really dares to do it, he is not afraid that the emperor will ask for his head because of this? Concubine Shu said with a cold smile. She never took it to heart like King Xian. If it weren't for hearing that the emperor intended to let him marry Mu Kun this time, she would have forgotten that the emperor still had such a son. Although she often heard about his deeds of guarding the country, she had always heard about it and forgotten it, so she didn't care about the emperor's fourth son at all.
"What is the emperor's attitude towards this?" Putting down the empty teacup in her hand, Concubine Shu asked with her beautiful eyes looking at Kung Fu.
"Back to Niangniang, the emperor is very anxious, and he is secretly sending people around to find His Royal Highness King Xian." Hongfu replied respectfully.
"The emperor is a person who values feelings, and he should have governed him well a long time ago if he was so unfilial." Concubine Shu said with a smile.
Hongfu, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't dare to speak out when he heard Concubine Shu's words, this vain discussion of the royal family is not something that those of them who are slaves can say. He wouldn't even want to listen if he could.
"Alright, you go back first!" Hearing the news she wanted to hear, Concubine Shu said.
"It's the minions who quit." Hongfu wanted to stand up after saluting Concubine Shu, but he couldn't move his body at all. I could only sit on the ground first, and kept tapping my legs with my hands, hoping to return to normal sooner. Of course, he also knew that it was not something that could be done in a short period of time. But he still had two places to reply, and his legs were just right, so he tried to get up and walk out.
Ay! Pity his legs, and walk forward with a slight effort. He also had to go to Concubine Lian's palace to reply. Ay! Pity him, pity his legs!
"Someone." Seeing Hongfu's figure disappear from sight. The book fee suddenly shouted loudly.
"The little ones are in. Minions see mothers! "A eunuch walked in from the courtyard. walked directly to Concubine Shu's Shen before stopping, kneeling down and saluting Concubine Shu.
"Get up!" Concubine Shu still said elegantly.
"Xie Niangniang." Thank you again.
"You send someone to find His Royal Highness King Xian, and remember to act when you find it. No, or remember not to reveal your identity under any circumstances. Looking at the person who came, Concubine Shu thought for a moment before saying. This virtuous king has no power or power, if it weren't for this marriage, it would be insignificant at all, even if this marriage was successful, it would not affect their plans. Therefore, she didn't have to guard against Ming Tao like everyone else. If possible, she also wants to be friends with this virtuous king, so that she can still have a good help. It's just that if there is a chance to get rid of him, it will be a good thing once and for all. She couldn't make up her mind when she chose between the two phases, so she could only leave the decision to her subordinates. In this way, no matter what happens in the future, she can safely drag Shen.
When Hongfu returned to the emperor's bedroom from Concubine Lian, his legs were trembling. A pair of knees were already bruised. When he saw Ming Wu, who was sitting at his desk and continuing to review the recitals, it had become a difficult thing to even kneel.
"Your Majesty, the minion is back." Unable to kneel, Hongfu could only bend his body as much as possible and salute Ming Wu.
"Alright, get up!" Ming Wu looked at his painful appearance and said expressionlessly.
"Emperor Xie!" Hongfu said gratefully and stood aside respectfully.
"The news has been delivered?" Putting down the fold in his hand, Mingwu raised his head, looked at Hongfu and asked.
"Yes!" Hongfu replied.
"What's the reaction?" Ming Wu asked with a mocking smile on his face. Those people thought they were smart and wanted to bribe the people around him to inquire about him, but they didn't know that he also happened to use this opportunity to arrange for people to be around them. He didn't want to fight with his wife and daughter-in-law all the time, but these people all looked at his chair. But who of them knows what it feels like to sit on this chair like a golden chair.
How others he doesn't know. But for so many years, he didn't feel anything but tiredness. Tired, tired not only in the body but also in the heart. He doesn't care no matter how tired his body is, but those people who should be his most caring people not only have false feelings for him everywhere, but also calculate everything about him. It made him feel very sad.
"The Emperor's ......" infected Mingwu's sadness, Hongfu wanted to open his mouth to persuade but didn't know what to say, opened his mouth several times, but only made these two voices.
"How did they react?" Hearing Hongfu's voice, Ming Wu thought that there were still people beside him, so he immediately put away his sad expression and asked seriously.
"Several mothers don't want to do it themselves, and they all want their minions to pass the news on to others. They all want to reap the benefits of fishermen. Hongfu sighed.
"Humph! That's really something they can do. But that's fine, at least they won't go back to the fourth child for the time being. Ming Wu sighed and said: "Ask people to continue to secretly search for the fourth child, as well as Marshal Mu's daughter, after finding them, don't startle the snake, remember to report to me first."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Hongfu replied with a respectful salute again. Those people have been calculating the emperor all along, but they don't know that the emperor is also calculating them. The future of these people is worrying! But he doesn't sympathize with the self-righteous people who keep them from taking him seriously. When you use him, you can say a few good words and don't use him, so you don't treat him as a human being.
"You're tired all day, go down and rest!" Looking at Hongfu's legs, which were almost unstable on his feet, Mingwu said. Ay! Those who have received all his favors are not as intimate as an outsider to him, how can this not make him feel a lot of emotion.
"Slave thanks to the emperor's grace!" Hongfu saluted again gratefully.
"Alright, let's rest!" With a wave of his hand, Ming Wu said directly. This is also the old man who has been with him for many years. If it weren't for that, those people wouldn't have put their minds on his own Shen.
"The minions are gone!" Hongfu respectfully exited Mingwu's room.
It wasn't until Hongfu's figure disappeared into the room that Mingwu let a sad expression appear on his face.
"Queen, Queen! When you leave, I don't even have a person to tell the truth in this huge palace. It's been eighteen years, why don't you come back to take a look? Even if you have a grudge against me, you can't even want to see your son's face! Facing the bright moon outside the window, Mingwu sighed infinitely. If there is no confidant with him, what is the use of him guarding this huge country?
