"What are you talking about so lively?"

When I walked over, neither Won Hyuk nor Lord Meng noticed the three of us, they were talking while playing chess, and it seemed that Lord Meng's momentum was tougher, and I walked forward as I spoke.

Yuan Hyuk turned his head when he heard the voice, and Lord Meng also raised his head.

"Why are you here?" Won Hyuk's reaction seemed to be that he didn't welcome me over at this time, although his expression didn't change much, but his tone was a little stiffer, and it was not difficult to hear the unhappiness in his words.

It was the first time he had spoken to me like that.

"Your Majesty was just talking to the old minister about the affairs of the court, and he was just upset for a while, and it was not the girl's business." The other people present also sensed Yuan He's attitude, but Master Meng got up and explained to me on Yuan He's behalf.

"It's okay, Master Meng doesn't need to panic, I don't mind anything, seeing that you are so anxious to explain for him, even I have to misunderstand that I am stingy." I said, sat down, and then looked at Won Hyuk, "I asked Lord Cheng to help me find someone, but I didn't expect him to find it today and bring someone to meet me." I heard that he wants to discuss something with you, and I want to ask, do you know the new situation of Qu Jie's case. ”

Won Hyuk didn't speak.

When I saw this, I got up, "In that case, I won't ask anything, so as not to disturb your conversation, I'll go back first." ”

"Wait a minute," Yuan He said to keep me, "You sit down first, just now I was discussing the affairs of the court with Lord Meng, and I was just distracted for a while, what did you just say?" ”

"Since you are so tired, why don't you rest and rest, although I don't understand what you men are talking about in the court, but since you have a right-hand man like Lord Meng Cheng by your side, why do you have to ask about everything in person, in this way, doesn't it seem that they are too incompetent." I walked up behind Won Hyuk, squeezed his shoulder, and whispered in my ear, but my voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear clearly.

Cheng Jing lowered his head when he heard this, and after Master Meng was stunned, he smiled and said, "Miss Niyin's words really made the old man ashamed. If it weren't for the incompetence of the old man and others, there would be no need for His Majesty to do everything himself. ”

"Lord Meng is humble." I accentuated my tone slightly, put my hand on Wonhyuk's shoulder and asked, "Did we disturb your conversation by coming over like this?" If it's inconvenient for me to be there, I'll go back first. ”

"It's not a big deal." Yuan He stretched out his hand and covered my hand, "Speaking of which, it is also related to the Qu family, after Lord Qu's faction was investigated, the DPRK and China were implicated a lot. Many important positions were vacated at once, and those who could be promoted and those who could be appointed were barely filled with some vacancies, but only the position of Lord Qu was unavailable, and Lord Meng was proposing to me to use the new people in the DPRK and China, and recommended his students to me. ”

In a few simple words, Yuan Hyuk had already explained the ins and outs of this contradiction very plainly, and I understood why they were in such an atmosphere just now.

"Why is there no one available?" I pretended not to understand and asked, "Since other important positions can be promoted, wouldn't it be better to be promoted as well, is it worth your nerve-wracking?" ”

Wonhyuk and Master Meng stopped talking.

"Back to the girl's words," Cheng Jing replied at this time, "Lord Qu is the Lord of the Northern Council, and he plays a pivotal role in the court. It is equal to the official position of Lord Meng, the director of the South Council, and His Majesty is high and powerful, and it is not something that others can take lightly. ”

So that's the case, no wonder Lord Meng couldn't wait to track down Lord Qu's crimes before, but now that there is no one available in the Yuanhe Dynasty, Lord Meng can't wait to recommend his students, and it is inevitable that he will install his own people in important positions in the court after eliminating dissidents. And it is not surprising that Won Hyuk would have such a reaction.

"Is it worth it for such a small thing to be so difficult for you?" As I spoke, I gently took Wonhyuk's hand and attached it to him and said, "Are you worried that the newcomer's lack of experience will inevitably be taken advantage of, since Lord Cheng said that the status of that adult is so serious, then it would be better not to use the newcomer?" ”

"What is this, if there is someone who can rest assured, I don't have such a headache." Won Hyuk understood what I meant and followed me.

"I think it's good to be an adult." I turned my head sideways to look at Cheng Jing and said to Yuan He and Master Meng, "Lord Cheng's family has served in the palace for several generations, and Lord Cheng Jing has taken over the position of his father Lord Cheng Si as the supervisor for many years, and I think he is serious and responsible, so it's very good." ”

Yuan He listened to me and turned his head to look at Cheng Jing, who bowed thickly, but did not say anything first.

"Neon Girl. Although Lord Cheng has served in the palace for many years and has some experience, he has indeed won the hearts of the people, and the official position of Lord Bei is important, and the position of Lord Cheng is also indispensable. Master Meng spoke up, deliberately blocking it.

"Then, is it important that the vacancy of the North Director is important or the vacancy of the superintendent?" I asked deliberately, and Master Meng was speechless.

"Naturally, there is a serious vacancy in the North Council." Yuan Hyuk said, "It's just that Lord Cheng arranges the big and small matters in the palace in an orderly manner, but it's not unimportant at all." ”

"Then find someone to replace Cheng Daren." I said, "Since Master Cheng is capable of taking on the position of Lord Governor of the North, it is natural that he should come first." There are other eunuchs in the palace, and, by the way, ......"

I pretended to just remember, walked between Cheng Jing and Ah Cheng, and pushed Ah Cheng to walk in front of Yuan Hyuk, "I just came over to tell you about Ah Cheng." Ah Cheng's family used to run a hotel, he could take care of everything up and down by himself, and he was very filial to his blind old mother and took care of him meticulously. When I was down, Meng Acheng and his mother Zhao Damiang helped me and gave me a temporary place to live, but then Xiangcheng was besieged, we were separated, and I was arrested by those people. So I want to ask you, can you leave Ah Cheng in the palace, find him a small position, let him have a place to stay, so that I can repay their mother and son for taking me in. ”

Won Hyuk listened, stood up, he listened to me talk about the relationship with Ah Cheng, and when he looked at Ah Cheng again, his eyes softened a lot. "Since he is the benefactor who once took you in, he is naturally also my benefactor, and it is not difficult to keep him in the palace, but it is ......"

Yuan Hyuk looked at Cheng Jing at this time, and he understood what I meant.

"If Master Cheng is transferred, the position of the supervisor vacated by him cannot be vacant, it is better to let Ah Cheng try, he also has some experience in taking care of the hotel." I couldn't say it too clearly, so I took half of it tactfully and said, "It's just that Ah Cheng is not as experienced as Lord Cheng after all, and he doesn't understand the rules of the palace, so it's better to let him worship Lord Cheng as a teacher, and please teach Lord Cheng in his spare time." ”

After listening to this, Yuan Hyuk thought carefully for a while. He asked Cheng Jing, "What do you think?" ”

"Cheng Jing should obey His Majesty's orders, and he doesn't dare to have the slightest objection." Cheng Jing's meaning is already very clear.

Yuan Hyuk nodded, and asked Ah Cheng again, "What's your name?" How old is it? ”

I saw that Cheng Jing moved forward half a step forward slightly, and quietly pushed Ah Cheng, Ah Cheng's reaction was also very fast, and he knelt in front of Yuan He, lowered his head and replied, "Little Zhao Xiaocheng, seventeen this year, the only remaining mother in the family also died of illness half a month ago." ”

"Zhao Xiaocheng?" After hearing his name, Yuan He frowned, and had some thoughts about his name, "I heard Ni Yin call you Ah Cheng, but I just made a mistake with Lord Cheng's surname, why don't you give you a name and change it to Zhao Sheng?" ”

"Little Thank You, Your Majesty for the name." Ah Cheng trembled and replied.

Yuan He looked at Cheng Jing with satisfaction, and then turned around and explained to Master Meng, "Since that's the case, then let's do it." Tomorrow, the Lone General will issue an order, and let Chengjing become the North Director, and assist Yu Gu together with Lord Meng. ”

"Minister, Cheng Jing, thank Your Majesty for your grace, and you will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations." Cheng Jing immediately thanked him, making Master Meng unable to refute for a while.

"Zhao Sheng, from tomorrow onwards, you will succeed Lord Cheng as the eunuch in this palace, you will worship Cheng Jing as a teacher, learn from him, not only learn how he behaves in the palace, but also learn more from his skills. In the future, if you have the ability, you should be promoted alone to thank you for your kindness in helping Niyin in the past. Won Hyuk arranged everything and looked at me sideways.

"Your Majesty Zhao Shengxie." He turned to Cheng Jing and kowtowed, "Zhao Sheng has seen the master, from today on, Zhao Sheng will follow the master and study carefully." ”

I'm still very satisfied with this ending.

"Now that the position of Lord Bei has been decided, Your Majesty does not need to worry anymore. The minister then retired and drafted a decree for His Majesty. Master Meng was left out in the cold, but all this was beyond his expectations, I turned to look at him, and Lord Meng's eyes were so cold that it was chilling.

Yuan Hyuk nodded, and Master Meng turned to leave without saying hello to anyone.

Yuan He naturally sensed Lord Meng's hostility towards me, he was very cautious, looked down, and took my hand. said to Cheng Jing and Ah Cheng, who has now changed his name to Zhao Sheng, "Get up." ”

Zhao Sheng was very discerning, he bowed down to help Cheng Jing get up, and waited behind Cheng Jing.

"By the way," I suddenly thought, "how do you arrange where Zhao Sheng lives?" ”

The men in this palace, except for Yuan He, only have palace people, and guards like Hou Yue and other guards all live in the barracks next to the martial arts training ground in the palace, and other ministers will not stay in the palace, presumably unless there are special circumstances. Since Zhao Sheng is in the palace, he can't live in the palace every day, so where he lives has become a question.

"Since Zhao Sheng worshipped the minister as a teacher, it is better to let him live in the minister's mansion first, so that it is convenient for the minister to teach him the work of the position of supervisor." Cheng Jing said.

"It's fine." Won Hyuk agreed. "You go back first, and I'll tell you about Miss Qu later."

When Won Hyuk said this, he looked at Cheng Jing. Cheng Jing lowered his head and was silent, waiting for the dispatch.

I glanced back and forth among them and understood. Yuan Hyuk doesn't usually do this, there must be some special situation, "Okay, then I'll go back first." ”

I turned around and left, and said to Zhao Sheng, "You follow Master Cheng, and your eyelids are alive." ”

Zhao Sheng bowed his head in response, I turned around and looked, and left directly.

I don't know what will be like behind me when I turn around at that moment, but I just want to sit on the sidelines and watch all of this.

Walking and walking, he suddenly stopped.

Not for anything else, but because he is in my way.

I don't know if he did it on purpose, but when I looked up at him, he was standing there, motionless. The way he looked at me, his eyes deepened and he felt pity.

I looked up at him. "How can you just be yourself?"

Yuan Jue changed his clothes, he was still dressed in white, his hair was neatly combed, as if nothing had changed, and it seemed that nothing was the same. It's not like when I was in the prison, but I can see the faint wounds through the collar and cuffs.

His voice was still so hoarse, "Concubine Yun is sick, he took this opportunity to release me and deal with Qu Jie's funeral by the way." After that, I will be placed in the camp of defending the city. ”

It turned out that Yuan He let him out at this time so that Yuan Jue could handle the aftermath for Qu Jie.

I nodded, ready to go.

When I passed by him, I suddenly heard Yuan Jue ask me, "Did you kill Qu Jie?" ”

I stopped again, he turned to face me, and I turned around and slapped him in the face.

"In your eyes, am I that kind of person?"

"Isn't it?" Yuan Jue didn't answer my questions, he was obsessed with my answers, he was too calm, too calm, when he looked at me......

I never thought that he would suspect me because of Qu Jie's death. "So what?"

"Is it really you?" Yuan Jue wanted my answer, as if this answer was what he wanted to know, but not what he wanted to believe. But there is no doubt that he has already believed in his heart that I am the murderer of Qu Jie.

I sneered. "Why do you think I killed her? For you? ”

Yuan Jue was silent, and from the way he looked at me, I thought he had begun to believe what I said.

I didn't expect him to doubt me.

Even if I had enough reasons to kill her because of my relationship with Qu Jie, I didn't expect that Yuan Jue would be the first to doubt me.

"Forget it." I said, looking at him, I couldn't say anything else, and turned back to the path I was going to take.

No matter what happened, we will finally become strangers one day.

The head was a little groggy, perhaps from the wind. When I got back to the dormitory, I didn't eat dinner, so I lay down and rested.

Tricy retreated outside, no longer bothering me.

I slept in a daze, I heard something faintly outside, called Cui Xi twice and got no response, the hall was dark, I put on my coat, groped out.

Queen Meng was standing outside the main hall of the dormitory, followed by many people, and Cui Xi was kneeling on the ground. I don't know if something happened while I was asleep, and before I could open my mouth, Queen Meng walked up to me and slapped me with a backhand. (To be continued.) )
