The corners of Gu Yun's mouth hooked up a hint of nonchalant smile.

"So when the sage found out that Bai Ko was the killer of officialdom, he didn't get too angry, but just made fun of my father."

"Deal with useless officials for any legitimate reason, as the king of a country, he is happy to see, there are so many officials waiting to fill the vacancy, what does it matter if you replace a few, although he has doted on Concubine Zhao Xian for decades, but the prince is the queen's concubine, diligent and loves the people, the government and the opposition have a good reputation, and the prince is on guard against King Yu in political affairs, and the saint is silent, it can be seen that he has no intention of changing the prince."

"I'm afraid the problem is here, Concubine Zhao Xian has been favored for many years, has a son and a daughter, plus the indignation of the prince and concubine who became the prince's side concubine, it is normal for her to have ambitions, if the queen has been childless, it may really let Concubine Zhao Xian succeed, fortunately, the queen kept the third son after losing her two sons, and there is no mistake in making people make a fuss, so what can be done, I have to start from the periphery first, and hold some of the most important but unnoticeable places, just the former servant Shao Yiping became the chief eunuch of the food supervisor, The imperial chef Bai family is also a loyal minister of the Son of Heaven, taking advantage of the opportunity of foreign missions to enter Beijing, designing to frame Bai Yehong's father and son, so that the imperial kitchen finally falls into their own hands, in my opinion, Concubine Zhao Xian and they must have been proud of this clever plan to kill two birds with one stone. ”

"But this pride disappeared after finding the Bai family's recipes, lost the key Shao Yiping, and the imperial kitchen returned to the hands of the sage, I heard that most of the imperial chefs were replaced because of this matter, and the current cooks are all transferred from various official offices to replace them, and the queen recommended a temporary imperial chef."

"It's good that after so many years of being led by the nose by them, it's finally our turn to fight back."

"Have you noticed that with the examples of Empress Ye and Concubine Zhao Xian in front of you, the reason why the saint favored Bai Ko has a perfect explanation?" After all, Gong Changji is two years older than Gu Yun, and he is a child of the clan, so he thinks more than Gu Yun.

"Huh?"

"I think that since Bai Ko first followed to participate in the winter hunt, the saint knew who she was, and must have begun to pay attention to her, just when she happened to save the emperor's grandson Gong Zhenghui by chance, the credit is in front, and the saint will no longer hide his guilt for her, or compensation, in short, as long as there are conditions, she will definitely give grace, and then she helped the pregnant princess through the crisis, Jingyun and Zhenghui are also on the table to like her, Bai Ko alone has won the favor of three generations of the ancestors and grandchildren of the heavenly family."

"Yes, she has received the supreme favor by virtue of her wisdom and ability, and as long as she does not make mistakes, this favor will be maintained forever, and the saint is even worried that Bai Ko will be wronged after I marry the young lady, and wants to ask her back."

"Since she has the support of the heavenly family, and she doesn't look at the face of the monk and the face of the Buddha, why should she worry about not being able to get along with your future young lady and desperately manage her retreat? Her current intentions are almost on the table, after you get married, she is neither willing to wait for the young lady, nor willing to go back to the palace, she only has the big factory of Joy Luck in her eyes, is there no deeper reason? ”

"Maybe it's because I'm having a split with her? She worked hard for money? She herself said that she is an official maid, what can she love if she doesn't love money. Gu Yun pretended to smile lightly, and even lifted his chopsticks to take a bite of the dish.

Palace Chief Ji sat still and looked at Gu Yun, "You really think so?" ”

Gu Yun restrained the faint smile on his face, put down his chopsticks, swallowed the tasteless dish in his mouth, and thought of a possibility that he didn't want to think about at all, and a trace of bitterness welled up in his throat.

“…… The saint may grant her forgiveness. ”

Gong Changji nodded slowly in agreement.

"If the saint already knows about the Bai family's unjust case, but considering the face of the heavenly family and has no intention of overturning the case, after all, it involves the dispute over the country, and it is inevitable that the saint will hesitate, but Bai Ko is such a dazzling capable child, whether it is guilt or compensation, she is allowed a condition, and if she is satisfied, she will be free, which is very likely."

"Bai Ko participated in three winter hunts, the first time was in front of the saint, that time does not count, the last two times she went to the tent every day to serve tea, the two talked secretly, who knows which time reached a secret agreement."

"The second time, it must be the second time, that is, that time Bai Ko promised that if the factory was built and the business was monopolized, he would be able to pay ten thousand taels of taxes, and how shrewd the saint was, seize the handle and make a secret agreement on this, and when Bai Ko fulfilled her promise, he would return her freedom." The palace chief swore and guessed, "After the factory is built, you should think about it, from then on, does Bai Ko care more about the factory than about you?" ”

“…… Be. ”

"This is her real retreat, a retreat once and for all, no one will be hurt in her calculations, she will watch you marry the young lady step by step, and then she will have a thousand legitimate reasons for you to have to let her go to the workshop, and then it will be her world, maybe in which year she will be free, without restraints, she has made enough money in your hands, and in the future she will be high in the sky and let the birds fly, and the sea will be wide and leap with the fish."

After the palace chief shook his head and finished speaking, he was deeply impressed by Bai Ko's hundred turns, but no matter how calm he was, seeing Gu Yun's bloodless face at the moment, he suddenly became a little flustered.

"Are you alright?! The face is so ugly! ”

"It's fine." Gu Yun tried to stabilize his emotions and not jump his feet, and reached out to take the wine glass, but his hand trembled so much that he spilled half of the glass.

Palace Changji hurriedly snatched the wine glass from Gu Yun's hand, and when he touched his hand, he found that his whole body was trembling violently.

"It really doesn't matter to you? There is a doctor sent by the Tai Hospital in my house, do you want to call and take a look? ”

"Don't! I'm fine! I'll just have a drink, just a cup. Gu Yun reluctantly raised his head and smiled at the palace chief.

Palace Changji was silent and patted Gu Yun's shoulder, "Okay, I'll pour you wine, I just ask you not to laugh, it's worse than crying." ”

Gu Yun took the wine handed by the palace chief, drank it all in one gulp, and the hand holding the empty cup still trembled slightly, so he stretched out to the palace chief again, and Prince Cheng had to lift the wine jug and sift a full cup for him.

Glass after cup, Gu Yun didn't eat a mouthful of food, drank the whole pot of wine, and a faint layer of pink wine appeared on his face, but it looked better than the snow-white face just now.

"Calm down?" The palace chief took the wine glass from Gu Yun's hand, put it on the opposite side of the table along with the empty wine jug, and gave Gu Yun a few chopsticks and dishes, "Eat something, drink it so quickly, it hurts your liver." ”

Gu Yun didn't say a word, he lay on the table and ate with his head down, the palace chief took a vegetable for him, secretly put two pieces of pure fat big fat R in his bowl, and watched Gu Yun swallow it in his mouth in a daze.

This seems normal, but it is actually over-excited.
