There was a pessimistic sentiment in Zheng's words, and Ah Yu immediately argued after hearing it: "Even if she has become a queen now, that kind of thing is not something she says she wants, we can give it, she is obviously embarrassed to show off, even if you give her what she wants, you don't have to offend her, and it is not necessarily better than offending her."

"How could I not know this?" Zheng shook his head a little weakly, and said slowly: "But now, only this road still has some hope. If the master is finished, our Zheng family will also follow the decline of the court, who makes me just a woman. ”

Ah Yu fell silent when he heard this. After a while, she asked again: "Xiu, in fact, Ah Yu has always wanted to ask you, why do you think that the master will definitely be imprisoned this time?" Before the results came out, you rushed to the palace to beg the woman, did you underestimate the master, but let the woman take advantage. ”

Zheng suddenly stopped, she looked around for a moment, and then said to Ah Yu in a slight voice: "Because now, I can almost be sure that this time the master was set by someone else, and it was the emperor and his third brother who weaved the net, maybe the master should not have been promoted to the secretary of the ministry at all, this is the bait on the hook." It can be seen from this that the lord often praises the servant Gao Yu what a shrewd person he is, he is the top three jinshi in the previous dynasty, but he has been willing to be the lord's deputy, what benefits, merits are draped on the lord's body, but in fact, it is to make the hook that hangs the lord tighter and tighter......"

Having said this, Zheng's face became ugly, and the depression in her heart became heavier. When she found that her father-in-law was tied by two groups of people inside and outside the rope and couldn't move, even if she could distinguish the veins of the rope, she was powerless to untie the rope.

I had to temporarily stop the chaotic thoughts in my heart, and I had to concentrate all my mental energy on the only way out. Zheng pursed his lips tightly. swallowed the next half of the words back into his stomach, and then turned to Ah Yu and said: "If I don't enter the palace in advance, and wait for the results from the master's side to come out, my actions will not be able to avoid suspicion like now." It was the worst-case scenario, but I had to plan for it early. If the master is really fine, then it is better, even if I make an extra trip, I will not lose anything. ”

Ah Yu nodded in understanding. But when one of the problems was smoothed out, another one that she had been worried about came up again.

"But what about the line? If you send it away, you can't scoop it back, and I don't think that woman will be kind. When Ah Yu spoke, the worried look in his eyes was revealed.

"That line, naturally, is fake." Speaking of this, Zheng snorted coldly, "I've been planning since the first time she asked me for that thing. A copy was forged in case it was needed. The color and texture of the gold thread given to her just now are almost the same as the real thread, but after only three months, the truth and falsehood can be seen naturally. Even if there is really trouble in the future, it will be wrapped along that thread and will not be used as evidence for conviction. It doesn't get in the way. ”

"Show smart." Ah Yu breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and at the same time praised sincerely.

There was still no joy on Zheng's face, after all, this little trick didn't have much effect on the overall situation. If she returns at this moment and gets the news that the master has been convicted, then it seems that there is no point in her doing more preparations for the future.

"It's better if the lord is fine." Sighing heavily, Zheng said gloomily: "If the matter is really expected by me, I only hope that Concubine De can leave some virtue in the fact that I often come to the palace to chat with her." Help slow down the master's crimes. Maybe there will be a turnaround. ”

Ah Yu said with some disbelief: "That woman, does she have that much ability?"

"Among the concubines in the palace, she is the only one who can blow the wind on the emperor's pillow." Zheng suddenly smiled. However, there was a hint of contempt in her smile, "I didn't put my hopes on her, as long as I can delay the official sentence, maybe my previous preparations can take effect." ”

……

Watching Wan Shangshu's wife walk away with her personal maid ring, Qing Xia, who was lying on the roof, slid down to the ground against a wall and walked towards Concubine De, who was still sitting on a wicker chair.

Concubine De glanced at her sideways and said casually, "What did you hear?"

"Neither of them said anything good, and the maid felt that the sincerity of their trip was weak, and I am afraid that there was a problem with the things they sent." Qing Xia paused and then said, "Niangniang, why didn't you agree with me just now to listen to what they said?"

Concubine De said indifferently: "You just listened to a few words from a distance, and you know that the two of them are restless, why listen to those words again to pollute my ears and mess with my mood."

"It's the slave's fault." Qing Xia hurriedly bent down, got up and asked, "But isn't Niang Niang worried that they may have bad intentions?"

"I live in the palace, and I have never been involved with the courtiers, how did she 'evil' me?" Concubine De smiled without any warmth, "I didn't touch her, she was going to chant the Buddha in her heart." Qingxia, you must not be confused about the difference between the positions of identity and interests. ”

"Yes, the servant remembers." Qing Xia responded respectfully.

Concubine De didn't say anything more, she thought of the worried words that Qing Xia said just now, her eyes fell on the thing wrapped in Jinpa on the table, and she scooped it over. When she was about to untie her handkerchief, the maid Cuichun, who had been retreating in the Xiaohuai Palace and waiting for the summons of her master, suddenly walked out.

Cui Chun walked to a position three steps away from Concubine De and stood still, deeply blessed, and then said, "Niangniang, the old man is here."

Concubine De's hand playing with the Jinpa bag froze for a moment, and asked softly, "When did it arrive?"

"Just arrived."

"Oh." Concubine De hesitated for a moment, then stood up, without being accompanied, she ordered: "You two are here to guard."

For that old man, Cuichun and Qingxia, who are the close maids of Concubine De, are very familiar. So whenever Concubine De wants to meet with her, she doesn't need to say anything, the two of them know what to do and what to pay attention to.

went up the steps, walked through the main hall of Xiaohuai Palace, and came to the left hand room, and Concubine De saw a long figure. Even if the person had his back to her, she could instantly outline his face with the back of his head.

From outside the palace to inside the palace, if you are about to leave your peers for more than ten years, you are really familiar with it

Therefore, for this person, even on such an occasion, holding each other's identities, Concubine De will feel a little more relaxed, and she directly ignores a lot of reserve when she speaks.

"When we met, you turned your back to me more and more times, can't you change your appearance?"

As soon as Concubine De's words fell, the long back figure turned around, and at the same time he opened his mouth, his voice revealing a little roughness in the depression, which was a sign that the body was beginning to age.

"I don't know when I started to feel a little confused when facing you."

"Are you still afraid that I won't succeed?" Concubine De slowly took a step closer to the middle-aged man who looked to be nearly fifty years old, but she only took a step closer and did not continue to take a step.

The middle-aged man seems to usually attach great importance to health, and he looks like he is in his fifties, and his eyebrows are still as black as ink, revealing his relatively strong physique. However, no one could resist the blade of time, and if you looked closely, the skin of his face was already showing fine web-like wrinkles. Despite this, from the contours of his face, it can also be seen that he was supposed to be a handsome man when he was young.

The middle-aged man saw Concubine De take a step closer to him, but he stood still, and he also raised his foot to take a step closer to Concubine De. In this way, the distance between the two is only one step, and the two people who are so close to each other are looking at each other without any gap, although their age difference is nearly half, but the atmosphere between the two is still a little subtle.

For a moment, the air seemed to freeze, but this atmosphere soon became shattered by the middle-aged man's sudden lifting of his hand, like transparent ice crystals being hit hard by a hammer.

The middle-aged man's broad hand grasped Concubine De's slender and still soft right hand, but the middle-aged man did not want to be intimate with her, but raised the hand he held to his eyes, and then he said calmly: "You can't wait so much?"

"I didn't expect you to find out so soon."

Concubine De shook her right arm vigorously and withdrew her hand from the iron slap. It's just that although her hand was out of the clamp, the small Jinpa bag in her hand was left in the middle-aged man's hand.

The middle-aged man's hand stopped in mid-air, and he subconsciously shook the lump in his palm, and said at the same time: "I'm not as fast as you."

Concubine De glanced at her empty right hand, and began to say a little impatiently: "Don't be dumb, let's just open up, you suddenly came here, what's the matter with me?"

"I don't want to talk to you too much." The middle-aged man said in a cold tone, "Remove your people from that house."

"I knew that as soon as Wanjia's case came out, after you knew that he had returned, the first one would come to me." When Concubine De said this, Dai Mei didn't pick it out very kindly, "However, I didn't expect that today, you would turn to him"

"Even if I don't want to help you, I don't want to help him." In the face of Concubine De's fluctuation, the middle-aged man's face was still calm, "Your judgment has been affected by your affection, don't do stupid things." ”

Concubine De opened her lips when she heard this, but she quickly closed them. She stopped talking, hesitated for a moment before putting on a disapproving look, and said lightly: "Why do you think I'm just doing something stupid?"

"You ......" The middle-aged man seemed to have a lot to say, but in the end he was blocked by the word 'you'. He was silent for a moment, and when he spoke again, he only repeated what he had said before: "You can't wait?". (To be continued.)
