Chapter 192 The Man Behind the Scenes

Empress Dowager Li's roar shocked everyone present.

Li Yingjie coughed twice heavily, and cried: "This child is really pitiful to see the fate of the Queen Mother!" The queen mother can rest assured that the minister will not let her be wronged at all. ”

"That's how it should be!"

Empress Dowager Li knew that she was speechless, and hurriedly covered up: "Emperor, your imperial uncle has traveled thousands of miles to Beijing, and a banquet will be held in the palace tonight to catch the wind and wash the dust for your imperial uncle!" ”

Zhao Jingqi was about to respond, but saw a glimmer in King Jing's eyes, and waved his hand again and again: "The Queen Mother spared me, I have been turning my old bones upside down for more than ten days, and they are about to fall apart." When those two old bones enter Beijing, they will catch the wind and wash the dust together, wouldn't it be lively. ”

Empress Dowager Li smiled: "In this case, according to what the prince said." Someone came, and brought back the tea and two hundred-year-old ginseng that Qi Kingdom paid tribute to the prince a few days ago. ”

Zhao Hui squinted his eyes and sighed softly: "Thank you Queen Mother for your compassion." Speaking of eating, those tea leaves, old ginseng, that's it. This king went to Beijing four years ago, and tasted the wine and food of the drunken immortal residence in the west of Beijing, which was really full of color, flavor and mouthwater. Who knows...... Ay! ”

Drunken Immortal Residence?

Zhao Jingqi thought about the person who had been thinking about it for a long time, her heart was pounding, and she hurriedly said, "Why is Uncle Huang sighing? ”

Zhao Hui didn't expect that it was the emperor who answered his words, and said with a smile: "Back to the emperor, my breath is sighing to the marquis!" ”

After that, he hugged his fist at Li Yingjie, and said with a straight face: "Master Hou, this king hasn't eaten the wine and food of Drunken Immortal Residence for a few years, and I happened to meet it today, so I have to ask Lord Hou for a face!" ”

Li Yingjie didn't know what to do, and hurriedly said respectfully: "Lord Wang, please be defenseless." ”

"I heard that the shopkeeper of the Drunken Immortal Residence somehow offended the eldest lady of your mansion and was imprisoned by the eldest lady, so that the Drunken Immortal Residence closed down. Ben Wang thought. But a woman, where can she be a traitor, so ......"

Li Fengjin, what a bold man! Zhao Jingqi suddenly changed color.

Empress Dowager Li seemed to notice something, and looked at the emperor suspiciously. The emperor hurriedly hid his expression, picked up the teacup at hand, and hid the sharpness in his eyes.

Empress Dowager Li did not doubt him. Subconsciously set his eyes on Xiaoyaohou.

Li Yingjie was secretly shocked. He was on the go for days. After entering Beijing, I went straight to the palace without even changing my clothes. I don't know what is going on in the house. This time King Jing jokingly talked about this, it must have a deep meaning, and he froze for a while, not knowing what to do.

Zhao Hui's words changed. He said to the Empress Dowager Li: "Empress Dowager, look at this king's mouth." I don't like the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the palace, I prefer the dishes of the market, it is really difficult to get into the hall of elegance! ”

Empress Dowager Li's heart was stunned, and she hurriedly smiled and said, "What did the prince say?" The imperial chef in the palace has eaten those tricks for all these years. I've been tired of eating it for a long time! ”

Zhao Hui patted his thigh and said with a smile: "That's it." It can be said that the king's heart is worthy of it. Forget it, for the sake of his little granddaughter, the Hou Ye even bewitched the Queen Mother; For the sake of this gluttonous mouth, this king showed his old face, and he also had the right to seek personal gain. Master Hou, if it doesn't matter if it's not a big deal, just let the people go! ”

King Jing's words are very wonderful and ingenious, and they are no different from pointing at the nose of the Marquis of Xiaoyao, and the others can't help it.

As soon as Zhao Jingqi heard King Jing's words, he thought that such a lovely person had actually entered the prison, and his face sank gloomily at the moment, and he said sharply: "Xiaoyao Hou, the courage of the eldest lady of your mansion is not small!" ”

Li Yingjie fell to his knees and said busily: "The emperor is angry, I just returned to Beijing, and I don't know anything about things in the house, and I ask the emperor to let the officials find out the truth of the matter." ”

"Your Majesty!"

Empress Dowager Li looked at the six roads, listened to all directions, and pushed the boat down the river and said: "Fengjin is not the unreasonable person, it must be that there is something wrong with the shopkeeper." But since the prince has opened his mouth, Hou Ye, let the people go! ”

Li Yingjie saw the Queen Mother helping her speak, and breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the Queen Mother, I will let that little beast let people go." ”

"Come on, it's not a big deal, just get up!"

Empress Dowager Li had a good hand and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, this time, the Hou Ye got a few paintings for the emperor from outside, and after a while, the mourning family sent them to the emperor's dragon case." ”

Zhao Jingqi sneered in her heart, she wanted to give the Queen Mother a little thin face on her face, and said half-truthfully: "Uncle, you sycophant, you are extremely timely." ”

As soon as the word uncle was called, Li Yingjie smiled all over his face.

Empress Dowager Li was greatly satisfied, and her gaze softened by three points when she looked at the emperor.

Zhao Hui was very dissatisfied with the old lady's blatant protection of her mother's family. Fortunately, he didn't want Xiaoyao Hou to do anything, he just wanted to help Xiaobei get out of the turbidity in his heart. Now that the matter is in order, he is happy to accept it when he sees it, and he said a few words haha.

Empress Dowager Li turned her face at the right time and yawned.

Everyone's eyes were bright, and they took the opportunity to retire.

……

The evening drizzle, as scheduled, slipped in with the wind.

Gao Zizhan pushed away the umbrella handed by the maid, drenched in the drizzle, and entered the Chaochun Courtyard. When passing by Cui's Xiyun Courtyard, Gao Zizhan looked at it with a slight wave.

In the Chaochun courtyard, there were more than a dozen maids kneeling in the rain, mother-in-law, and two of them were rough maids in his yard. Gao Zizhan's eyes darkened, and he took a detour.

The red candles in the main hall shine high, as bright as day.

Gao Zecheng and his wife sat upright.

Gao Zecheng saw him coming, pointed to a shadow on the ground, and said solemnly: "I have found out the matter with your mother." It's all the intrigues of this. She has to wait for you to come before she can confess. I read that she waited for you for a while, and did not move the family law. Listen to what she has to say! ”

"Father!" Gao Zizhan raised his head suspiciously, as if there was disbelief in his eyes.

Gao Zecheng sneered: "Those kneeling outside are all witnesses. I don't have to wronged a! Do you know who Lynsey is? ”

"Who?" Gao Zizhan's eyebrows tightened:

"Just now there was news in the palace that she is the daughter of the illegitimate daughter of the Marquis of Xiaoyao outside, and the Marquis of Xiaoyao actually said that the Queen Mother used the Praetorian Guards for her, and now she has been fined a thousand gold and grounded for three months. If this cheap maid burns people to death with a fire, the beams of the Gao and Li families will be considered to be knotted. ”

Gao Zecheng snorted coldly and turned his head.

Xia was afraid that the father and son would make too much trouble, so he hurriedly said: "At the banquet that day, the scandal of the eldest lady of the Li family was also done by her in secret. ”

Gao Zizhan's handsome eyes coldly swept over the woman's lowered face, and said in a deep voice: "You, why do you want to do this!" ”

The woman raised her head slowly, her delicate face with a smile on her delicate face: "The eldest young master, how can a person of Miss Li's character be worthy of the eldest young master." ”

"Worthy, unworthy, which is your turn to speak!" Gao Zecheng was furious.

"It's not the slave's turn to speak, but the slave and maid really can't bear to be ruined by the happiness of the eldest young master's life, ruined in the hands of such a woman, if the eldest young master marries her, the family will have no peace."

"So you instructed Qing'er, and the two in red deliberately provoked her in front of her, making her make a big fight." Xia said coldly.

Tears crossed Ruyu's face, and she choked up: "I didn't mean to provoke, then Miss Li is indeed ......"

"Presumptuous!"

Gao Zecheng slapped the table, his eyes breathed fire, and said: "Are you afraid that such a woman will be the housewife, and your life will be difficult in the future!" ”

Ruyu saw that her mind was not hiding in front of the master, and her face was so frightened that her face was pale.

Gao Zizhan frowned, and said quietly: "Lin Xi's business, you also did it?" ”

Ruyu wiped a handful of tears, and asked instead of answering: "Young master...... You don't like her! ”

Gao Zizhan's voice suddenly rose: "Whoever I like, who are you going to harm?" Who taught you to be so ruthless? ”

Ruyu listened to Gao Zizhan's stern voice, and her soul was saddened to the ground, and she muttered: "Young master, Ruyu is wrong, ask the eldest young master for mercy." ”

"If you tell the truth, for the sake of the master and servant, I will spare your life, if half of the sentence is false......" Gao Zizhan's eyes shrank.

Ruyu entered the Tairan Courtyard at the age of ten, knowing that the eldest young master was a human being, and he also knew that he would not be able to escape today, so he simply said goodbye.

……

Things are actually very simple, Ruyu has followed the eldest young master for six or seven years, and she knows everything her master's words and deeds like a straight palm. She saw that the eldest young master was quite different from Lin Xi, for fear that the eldest young master would take people into the room and take away her favor, so she wanted to find an opportunity to drive Lin Xi out of the prime minister's mansion.

It just so happened that she learned that the Shanxiu in front of the second lady secretly admired the eldest young master and had a holiday with Lin Xi, so she made a little trick and said that Shanxiu was moving. The two hit it off, set a trap, and waited for Lin Xi to jump down.

Originally, he only planned to drive people out of Gaofu, but he found two thousand taels of silver from Lin Xi's baggage, and Gao Xiang was furious and wanted to send people to the official.

The night passed, and there was no movement in the house, but Mrs. sent Zhengyang to investigate the theft, and the two of them were a little weak and panicked for a day.

It was night, and the tall and young people visited the firewood room at night, and Ruyu quietly followed. Lin Xi's jade face appeared in the firewood room, and a shocking glance made Ruyu move to kill.

At this time, Shanxiu also came to the firewood house, so she lured her into the position of the room and forced Shanxiu to set fire to people.

Shanxiu saw Lin Xi's true face, and there was a big fat piece of Tongfang hooked in front, how could it not be reasonable.

How do you know that people are not as good as the sky, the lotus fell from the sky and rescued Lin Xi, and the charred corpse in the firewood room was the Shanxiu who failed to harm people and lost his life.

……

Gao Zizhan looked at Ruyu's delicate face, and his heart was in turmoil.

If I remember correctly, she was originally a person close to her mother, and because of her outstanding appearance, gentleness and virtue, she was favored by her mother and sent to him. Over the years, the master and servant have lived under one roof, and their affection is extraordinary.

He originally thought that when he became a relative, he would find an opportunity to carry her to his aunt, and it would not be in vain for all these years, she would do her best to wait. Who knows, for him to look at Lin Xi a few more times, she wanted the maid's life.

This woman is as beautiful as a flower, but her scheming is so vicious that Gao Zizhan only feels that the cold starts from the soles of her feet.

Gao Zizhan didn't know why, and the yellowish face appeared in front of him, which was a little ugly and eye-catching. Sure enough, people's hearts are hidden under that skin.

Got up, raised his legs, and walked to him, Gao Zizhan looked condescendingly at the woman with a pale face under his eyes, and his voice without a trace of temperature sounded slowly. (To be continued)
