It was so hot that it was irritable, and the government office was even more like a steamer, Gonggong Cao was lying prone on the kang, looking sideways at the treetops outside the window that did not move at all, and asked the little waiter next to him: "It's almost noon, right?" ”

The little waiter said, "There is still a while, Master, are you feeling better this time?" ”

Father-in-law Cao spat: "Let your mother's stinky fart, you will be slashed and tried, hey, it will hurt even more." ”

The little waiter subconsciously wiped the saliva on his face: "How can this be good, the imperial doctor is helpless, the ancestral grandmother is about to be beheaded." ”

Gonggong Cao cried with a sad face: "The emperor doesn't want me anymore, long live the old slave." At last I actually cried.

At this time, Qiu Yu walked in, greeted Gonggong Cao first, saw him sighing, and couldn't help but sigh for a long time, the time was tight and couldn't be delayed, so he opened the small waiter, and only he and Gonggong Cao were left in the room, he said: "Father-in-law wants to live?" ”

Gonggong Cao said with a crying voice: "Oh my Lord Qiu, ants are still greedy for life, who wants to die, but no one can cure my injury except for the grandmother of the ancestral family, those straight thieves are really ruthless enough, they cut it, but they also quenched poison on the knife, and it killed our family." ”

He is greedy for life and afraid of death, this is easy to do, Qiu Yu said directly: "My father-in-law is only in his early forties, it is a pity to die young, I heard that my father-in-law still has a wife at home, if my father-in-law dies, how can the family be good, so this official wants to save my father-in-law." ”

The wife here is the meaning of wife and son, Gonggong Cao, as the chief eunuch, is red and purple in front of the emperor, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and even the harem, which is not a three points of courtesy to him, with the emperor's approval, he married a wife and adopted a son, has his own mansion, in addition to being unable to do personnel, the others are like normal men, and they are also one of the best families in the capital, of course he doesn't want to die, hearing that Qiu Yu wants to save him, he is suddenly full of joy: "Lord Qiu understands medical skills?" ”

Qiu Yu shook his head: "It's not the official, but the grandmother of the ancestral family." ”

Father-in-law Cao was disappointed: "My Lord Qiu, the grandmother of the ancestral family is about to be beheaded, you are the supervisor and beheader, but this time you are confused." ”

Qiu Yu turned around and glanced at the hourglass: "There is still a period of time before the beheading, and it is still too late." ”

Gonggong Cao blinked his small eyes and pondered: "That's the reason." Gritting his teeth and sitting up, Yan said: "Lord Qiu, you can be a witness, if the grandmother of the ancestral family is willing to save our family, our family promises to give her a whole corpse." ”

There are many kinds of human deaths, and it is very miserable to be able to leave a whole corpse, which is a matter of ignorance for many dying prisoners, so Cao Gonggong felt that he gave Shanbao a big reward.

According to Shanbao's teaching, Qiu Yu said: "The conditions for the ancestral grandmother to open are not this. ”

Gonggong Cao thought for a moment and said, "Does she want a golden silk coat or a Nanmu coffin?" ”

The golden silk clothes, according to the regulations of this dynasty, all princes and princes can wear golden silk clothes after death. And the Nanmu coffin is also a common man and even a rich man who has no right to enjoy it, unless it is a person with a title and his family.

Qiu Yu shook his head slowly and said solemnly: "She, she wants to live." ”

Father-in-law Cao was stunned, understood in an instant, and sighed: "I'm sorry, our family can't save her now, once upon a time, our family thought that there was no second person comparable in front of the Long Live Lord, after this incident, our family found that in the heart of the Long Live Lord, our family ......"

His expression was gloomy, like a lovelorn person, and now he suddenly found that he was far less important than his grandfather in the emperor's heart, and in the end, his grandfather was the emperor's flesh and blood, and he was just the emperor's slave.

Qiu Yu shook the hem of his official robe and sat opposite Gonggong Cao, although his voice was small, but he heard it very urgently: "Forgive this official for daring to say, since the emperor treats you like this, you can't help yourself." ”

Gonggong Cao shushed repeatedly, and his eyes kept glancing at the door: "Lord Qiu, you are crazy." ”

Qiu Yu was quite calm: "The official is not crazy, the official feels that the father-in-law is really pitiful, and the grandmother of the ancestral family is not pitiful, if the father-in-law acts according to the strategy of the grandmother of the ancestral family, not only can he save the life of his father-in-law, but also save the life of the grandmother of the ancestral family, such a plan to kill two birds with one stone, the father-in-law saved himself, and also saved the grandmother of the ancestral family, and asked the father-in-law to think twice, the grandmother of the ancestral family, she is just eighteen years old." ”

Father-in-law Cao stared straight at Qiu Yu, which sounded good, but he was afraid, so he couldn't help but sigh: "Yes, the grandmother of the ancestral family is young and beautiful, and our family does not bear it in our hearts, but what kind of strategy is it, let's listen to it." ”

Qiu Yu said Shanbao's thoughts in a few words, and Gonggong Cao was very frightened: "This ......"

Qiu Yu turned his head to look at the hourglass, and blushed anxiously: "Father-in-law must not hesitate anymore, otherwise when noon comes, the life of the grandmother of the ancestral family will be gone, and your life will be gone. ”

Father-in-law Cao hesitated, but he was also anxious, scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously, and finally Qiu Yu lifted his official robe and knelt heavily in front of him, his eyes were sprayed with anger, but his mouth was extremely sad: "Please father-in-law, save her life." ”

Father-in-law Cao leaned over and wanted to hug Qiu Yu, pulled his back, gritted his teeth and said: "Our family and the Prime Minister have a very close relationship in private, to say something shameless, our family regards Lord Qiu as a nephew, Lord Qiu please get up quickly." ”

Qiu Yu stood up suddenly, full of joy: "Father-in-law, this is agreed?" ”

Father-in-law Cao was ruthless: "Yes." ”

Qiu Yu let out a long sigh of relief......

After he left, Gonggong Cao was still obediently lying prone to recuperate from his injuries, but he was repeatedly practicing Shanbao's strategy in his heart, and he felt that it was almost the same, and passed the little chamberlain in: "Our family is afraid that our life will not be long, help me to say goodbye to the emperor." ”

The little waiter answered, went out and called two waiters to come in, and together they helped Gonggong Cao off the kang and moved out of the room step by step.

At this moment, the emperor is in the hall behind the government office, Yu Qi and the other officials who are with him are silent, and at the door, there is Zu Gongluo, who is holding the marquis's dress in his hand, that is to say, he once resigned from the official position, and now he is relinquishing the title, because King An's clothes have not yet been delivered, he came to return to the emperor with the clothes of Zhenbei Hou.

The emperor was so angry that his beard trembled, and he pointed at his grandfather and said, "I have never seen anyone who has been dismissed from the title, you say, why?" ”

Zu Gong's face did not change slightly: "The emperor killed innocents indiscriminately. ”

Based on this sentence alone, if it weren't for the fact that the emperor felt that he was his own flesh and blood, if he didn't want to use him to save his own collapsing country, he would have committed the crime of bullying the king, but Ling Chi.

Yu Qi hurriedly mediated: "The prince has something to say, my lord is wise and has never killed innocents indiscriminately." ”

Zu Gong smiled coldly: "Then what evidence does the emperor have to show that the good girl is complicit with the assassins?" Is she kind enough to treat Gonggong Cao's injuries, Yi Jian Sancao Min has also read it from books, it is a long-lost poison used in the rivers and lakes, as long as the good girl can save Gonggong Cao's life, why bother where she saw it from. ”

The emperor suddenly got up, and suddenly sat down again, his precious son really didn't know the heart of the parents who pity the world, and he wanted to kill the ancestral grandmother with a conscience for his own sake, and suddenly he was a little disappointed, if he wanted to rule the world, like his grandfather, with the kindness of a woman, it was absolutely necessary, and then doubted that his personality was very different from his own, was it his own son?
