169 Incident【+17】

Huo Jingrui couldn't have imagined that he had endured it for so many years, arranged it for so many years, and was careful and cautious everywhere, but now he finally got rid of the biggest stumbling blocks in the court, and when the future was good, he was completely ruined by a few rumors.

Huo Jingrui couldn't help shaking his body in anger, and the little eunuch hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

"Lord, this is not the time to be angry, you better hurry up and figure out how to save Your Majesty's heart, otherwise if it goes on like this, it will be a matter of time before His Royal Highness King Kang becomes the crown prince......"

"The king knows." Huo Jingrui pushed the little eunuch away, stretched out his hand and gasped for breath on the rockery, and then said sharply: "You just need to watch the actions of your father and the seventh emperor for this king, if there is anything, you can immediately inform this king, and this king has his own plans for other things." ”

The little eunuch nodded hurriedly, Huo Jingrui reached out and handed him a few silver tickets, and then turned around and left in embarrassment.

Soon after waiting for him to leave, the little eunuch's attitude of respectful Xiao Yi disappeared without a trace, he looked up at the direction Huo Jingrui left, rubbed his fingers a few times on the silver ticket in his hand, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then stuffed one of them in his arms and left directly quickly, but the direction he went was not the Qinzheng Palace, but directly bypassed the imperial garden and headed towards the imperial dining room.

Along the way, he met a lot of palace people, the little eunuch because he was serving in the Qinzheng Palace, and he was valued by Chen Yuan on weekdays to enter the palace to serve the saint, so everyone greeted him when they met him, and he was not arrogant, his attitude was very friendly, and he talked and laughed with many people along the way, and went directly to the palace on the north side of the imperial garden and went to the imperial dining room.

"Father-in-law Yin is here?" The head chef of the imperial dining room grinned.

Xiao Yinzi nodded and said to him, "I have the remaining ginseng soup today, I'll send some to Gonggong Chen." ”

The chef of the imperial dining room already knew about the things in the palace, and knew that Xiao Yinzi wanted to please Chen Yuan, after all, Chen Yuan was powerful in this palace, except for His Majesty, even if it was an ordinary concubine and concubine, he would have to give a good face to Chen Gonggong, and Xiao Yinzi was working under Chen Yuan, so it was naturally more pleasing to him, and it was not the first time he came to the imperial dining room to get soup, so the chef directly took out two cups of ginseng soup from the cage drawer on the side, put them in a food box and handed them to Xiao Yinzi.

"The little one knew that Father-in-law Yin was coming, and it was prepared early in the morning, this cup is for Father-in-law Chen, and the other cup is for Father-in-law Yin, and I hope that Father-in-law Yin has the opportunity to say a few more words for Father-in-law Chen."

Xiao Yinzi took it with a smile, took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms and threw a small silver ticket to the chef, Lang smiled: "Don't worry, Gonggong Chen loves me, and you will definitely be indispensable if you have benefits." ”

The chef suddenly smiled, and Xiao Yinzi went directly to the Qinzheng Hall with the food box containing the ginseng soup.

At this time, the Seven Princes had left, Emperor Zhengde was also resting in the inner hall, there was no need for Chen Yuan to serve, he leaned on the low table in the side hall to rest, Xiao Yinzi carried the food box into the time and saw Chen Yuan's face showing a little tired, he hurriedly sent the ginseng soup up and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, you see that you are tired these days, Your Majesty is always in a bad mood and tired, and the slave just passed by the imperial dining room, and happened to get you some ginseng soup, you can drink some supplements." ”

Chen Yuan opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Yinzi, and saw that his eyebrows and eyes were very respectful, and his eyes were full of smart color, so he couldn't help knocking him with the dust in his hand and said: "Even if you are a little rabbit cub with a conscience, you know that you feel sorry for your father-in-law, and it is not in vain that the miscellaneous family reminds you everywhere." ”

"My father-in-law remembers Xiao Yinzi's kindness, if it weren't for my father-in-law, Xiao Yinzi wouldn't have known how many times he was reincarnated, and Xiao Yinzi would not dare to forget the grace of saving his life until he died." Xiao Yinzi touched the back of his head and smiled, then quickly took out a few silver tickets from his arms and put them in front of Chen Yuan's table, and said in a low voice: "Father-in-law, the slave has seen King Yu, and he has also asked the slave about His Majesty's movements in the past few days, and these silver tickets are all given to the slave by him." ”

"Oh? How did you tell him? ”

Xiao Yinzi said in a low voice, "The servants all followed the instructions of the father-in-law before, and told King Yu word for word, his face was ugly when he left, and he smashed his hand in anger. ”

Chen Yuan nodded with a smile, he couldn't see what his attitude was on a slightly old face, he glanced at the stack of silver tickets on the table, and flicked it with his hand: "This King Yu is generous, but it's a pity that he used it in the wrong place, it's just that, you can take these silver tickets and keep them yourself, next time he looks for you again, you still tell him as he said before." ”

Xiao Yinzi laughed when he heard this, stretched out his hand to stuff the silver ticket into his arms, and happily took out the ginseng soup and handed it to Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan squinted when he saw his courteous appearance, "You're welcome, the miscellaneous family asked you to take it, and you took it?" ”

"The slave knew that the father-in-law felt sorry for the slave, and when the slave turned back, he would gamble two more handfuls to win more silver and come back, and buy some good ingredients for the father-in-law to make up for his body." Xiao Yinzi grinned and laughed.

Chen Yuan suddenly laughed when he heard this, this little seal was saved by him in the palace three years ago, when he made a mistake and offended the concubine Yue at that time, he should have been killed with a cane, but later because he was spared death because of his casual words, only to be punished by the cane, Chen Yuan had already forgotten about this matter, who knew that this little guy regarded him as a life-saving benefactor, and took care of him everywhere.

At first, Chen Yuan was naturally extremely wary of Xiao Yinzi, and never even let him get close, nor did he use the food and clothing he sent, but after two years of observation, and after several temptations, he found that although this little eunuch was a little cautious, and he was not a good person, but he was really good to him, and he thought of him for the first time when he had delicious food and use, as long as he had a cold and cough, this kid always ignored the care of him day and night.

Chen Yuan has shaved the roots of his children and grandchildren since he was a child, and he is destined to be a widow and have no heirs in his life, and Xiao Yinzi, who is only ten years old, often serves and plays tricks beside him, and gradually wins him a little love, and Chen Yuan also likes Xiao Yinzi very much in front of him not pretentious and does not hide it, and sometimes it also makes him feel that this kid in front of him is his own descendant.

He took the spoon and knocked on the small seal and said: "The miscellaneous family sees that you can't quit gambling in your life, be careful that sooner or later you will be planted on this." ”

"The slave is not afraid, there is a father-in-law who loves the slave and protects the slave."

"You little monkey, the miscellaneous family can't persuade you, but you can listen well, gamble and gamble, don't make trouble, otherwise the miscellaneous family won't be able to protect you at that time."

Xiao Yinzi covered his forehead and smiled, said that he knew, and couldn't wait to run out, didn't go far and ran back quickly, took out a small box from his arms and put it in front of Chen Yuan and said: "This is the slave asked people to find it a few days ago, the father-in-law will see if he likes it or not, if he doesn't like the slave, let Gu Da find it." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Chen Yuan's reaction, he ran away again, seeing that the direction of running away was the place of the fourth division.

Chen Yuan saw him like that, he knew that he had got the money and ran to gamble with others, and suddenly shook his head helplessly, he reached out and took the box and opened it, and saw a good snuff bottle lying inside, the refreshing jade color and the good carving dyeing, at first glance, it was the best color, I was afraid that there were no dozens of taels of silver and could not take it down, he couldn't help laughing, no wonder the person who went to monitor this kid a few days ago said that he had a close relationship with Gu Da who was procured in the palace, and it turned out that he was asked to tinker with this thing for him.

He just mentioned it unintentionally before, but he didn't expect him to take it to heart, Chen Yuan thought about this, and his always wise and cold eyes couldn't help but bring a little gentle smile, and he played with the snuffbox in his hand and chuckled: "This little rabbit cub ...... Chen Guang. ”

"Father-in-law."

"Was there anything unusual about the small seal just now?"

"Back to the father-in-law, he did bring the words to King Yu according to the instructions of the father-in-law, and he also believed the appearance of King Yu, after King Yu left, Father-in-law Yin went directly to the imperial dining room to get the ginseng soup back, and he didn't go anywhere else along the way."

Chen Yuan nodded, his expression was a little more satisfied, and he played with the snuffbox and smiled gently, "You don't have to monitor him everywhere in the future, if you need it, the miscellaneous family will order you again." ”

"Yes, father-in-law."

After Chen Yuan drank the ginseng soup, perhaps because he was in a good mood, his complexion was also much better, and after he tidied up his clothes, he turned around and entered the main hall, preparing to tell Emperor Zhengde about the matter.

In the imperial dining room, not long after Xiao Yinzi left, Gu Da sent fresh vegetables in, he and the chef chatted happily for a few words, Gu Da went out of the palace and returned to his house, not far from the Gu family's house, a lean man left at night and went straight to Baohua Building.

"Girl, what is Emperor Zhengde doing all this for?" After Fang Meng heard what Gu Da said, he frowned and looked at Xue Rou on the side.

Xue Rou also frowned, with some confusion on her face.

Those rumors about Huo Jingrui were indeed let out by her, and Di Huan and Rong Jing added fuel to the fire, but she didn't expect that Emperor Zhengde would actually take advantage of this, not only showing that he was moved by the rumors and treating King Yu coldly, but also praised King Kang during this time, and handed over almost half of the power in the court to Huo Jingli, so don't say that it is Huo Jingrui, even she has the illusion that Emperor Zhengde is ready to make King Likang the prince.

But Xue Rou faintly felt that something was wrong, if Emperor Zhengde really intended to establish King Kang as the prince, with his character, he would never be so fond of him at this time, and pull him up to become the target of everyone, if such King Kang made a little mistake, he would die without a place to be buried, no matter how he looked at it, it didn't look like he was helping King Kang, but more like he was cooperating with someone in the dark, trying to force Huo Jingrui's dog to jump off the wall in a hurry?

But...... Why is he like this?

Xue Rou's eyes flickered, and she suddenly had an extremely bold guess in her heart, but she denied it in an instant, because if it was really as she thought, there were too many places that didn't make sense, and she couldn't help but knock on the table one by one, making a crisp knocking sound.

Fang Meng and Gu Da saw Xue Rou pondering, and they didn't dare to disturb loudly, and after a while, Xue Rou raised his head and asked, "Is Yin Rou okay in the palace?" ”

Gu Da hurriedly said: "He's not bad, the people who monitored him before have all withdrawn, it seems that after this incident, Chen Yuan should have believed him, I listened to him, Chen Yuan seemed to treat him as a nephew, and he felt pity in his heart, and took great care of him." ”

"You tell him to be careful, don't be careless because of this, then Chen Yuan has followed Emperor Zhengde for decades, his mind is deep and sophisticated, and he is by no means so easy to deceive, once Chen Yuan finds out that he is abnormal, he will definitely not let him go because of that little affection in the past few years." Xue Rou admonished.

Gu Da nodded, "I will tell him that Yin Yao is the smartest of those children, and he must know how to hide from the world, but girl, Yin Yao asked me to ask the girl, but do you want to add fuel to the fire as I said before?" ”

"No need." Xue Rou's eyes flashed slightly, "Since Emperor Zhengde and Chen Yuan have already done what we want to do, then let's wait to watch the show now, I want to see what Emperor Zhengde wants to do." "Actually provoked the relationship between King Yu and King Kang so unscrupulously, such Emperor Zhengde made her a little difficult to guess.

Gu Da stayed for a while, and after Xue Rou instructed him some things, he took advantage of the night to leave from the dark passage, and after waiting for him to leave, Fang Meng looked at Xue Rou and said: "Girl, the people who were rescued before have been handed over to Lord Lang, and after Lord Lang took the trial, he left a paper and a painting, and sent them to the Shuntian Mansion, sure enough, it was similar to what you guessed before, after Chen Sheng heard that they were accusing the son of Zuo Xiang Wei Jian for murder and robbery of other people's wives, he took the opportunity to suppress the matter, and secretly informed Wei Jian, Wei Jian sent people to try to solve those people secretly, and they were saved by our people, but many people were injured. ”

Xue Rou nodded when she heard this and asked, "Is the place where they are still safe?" ”

"Rest assured, girl, it is a merchant's house, that person has stayed in Beijing for most of his life, and has always adhered to his duty and has a good reputation, a few years ago his business failed, it was Qin Xi who came forward to help him save his family, that person is a very grateful person, and I didn't tell him the identity of those people, so he will never spread it." Fang Meng replied in a low voice.

Xue Rou had a light smile on her face when she heard this, but the smile didn't reach the bottom of her eyes, originally she didn't want to do it so quickly, but since Emperor Zhengde secretly helped them, she had to thank him well, and she was sorry for him for being so carefully arranged if she didn't do anything.

The next morning, the dazzling sunlight shone all over the land, and the capital was as lively as ever, with all kinds of cries gathering on the streets.

Before the Shuntian Mansion, the official guarding the door was tired because he got up too early.

He covered his mouth and yawned big, tears rolled out of the corners of his eyes, he smashed his mouth and was about to stretch, but he didn't want to stretch his hand and froze in mid-air, he stared at something not far away, rubbed his eyes after a while, and let out a frightened scream.
