Every time Gu Zhixing saw Su Mian wake up in a cold sweat, he couldn't wait to immediately find out the mastermind behind the scenes and break him into thousands of pieces!

But unlike Gu Zhixing's anger, the market has been lively these days. From the things that Su Mian encountered in the palace to the secrets in the mansions of the adults in the city, they were all passed on by everyone and talked about them with relish. Storytellers don't worry about no one coming to drink tea these days, and business is especially booming.

Now that the summer is in full swing, Liu Ce leans on the mat, and his own servants take charge of the wind for him. Now listening to what his henchmen said, Liu Ce laughed softly, and when he saw that the prime minister was amused, all the staff members also smirked.

It wasn't until Liu Ce suddenly opened his eyes and his expression became very serious that everyone stopped at a loss.

"Smile and smile, do you know what the real picture is laughing at and smirk? One by one, I can't do a few things all day, what's the use of me raising you? ”

With Liu Ce's reprimand, several staff members didn't dare to speak more. At this time, Qin Xiang was also there. During this time, it is no secret that he was often in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Everyone knows that the two adults are relatively close, and in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Qin Xiang has completely regarded him as Liu Ce's protégé, whether it is to speak to Liu Ce or do other things, he is respectful.

Now seeing that Liu Ce was suddenly angry, the other brains were naturally a little confused, and they hurriedly lowered their heads in a panic, still very depressed, and didn't dare to answer many times, for fear of saying too many mistakes.

And Qin Xiang thought that he was smarter, and although he had not been following Liu Ce for a long time now, he could guess some of his intentions, so he had the courage to step forward and say something of comfort.

"Don't be angry, the things in the palace are getting as fierce as possible. How can Su Mian be able to manipulate the entire harem? How many of our informants have been plucked out by her, and this loss is not small, and she should be given a disadvantage. ”

Now that Qin Xiang had not spoken, Liu Ce was not completely sure that he had anything to do with this matter. Now looking at his calm appearance, the meaning between his words seems to be waiting for his praise.

An old fox like Liu Ce, who is scheming, how could he not see anything wrong, and immediately snorted.

"Even if the little palace maid is a fierce child, how can she dare to make such a mistake when she enters the palace as a slave, is it really a fateful person? I'm afraid someone is behind it, right, Lord Qin? ”

As soon as Fu heard Liu Ce ask like this, Qin Xiang suddenly chuckled in his heart, and raised his head to meet the other party's eyes that seemed to be smiling, but there was a completely unceremonious look on his face.

Qin Xiang secretly screamed in his heart, he seemed to have guessed the wrong prime minister's meaning today, how could he look unhappy like this?

But now, in the face of Liu Ce, it is impossible for Qin Xiang to lie. Although he was so nervous that he was in a cold sweat, he still tried his best to pretend to be calm and calm, and bowed slightly, which was considered to be an acknowledgement, and said something about him left and right.

"The Prime Minister misunderstood, I just heard that Su Mian was too arrogant and wanted to frustrate her spirit. The series of unintended consequences caused by the actions of the palace maid, where can I control this? The prime minister exalted me too much. ”

Hearing Qin Xiang say this, Liu Ce stared at him expressionlessly. Before today, although Qin Xiang and Liu Ce were closer, Liu Ce was at least polite on the surface.

In the eyes of others, they think that Liu Ce still likes Qin Xiang more or less, but only people close to Liu Ce know that it is precisely because of his disbelief or disdain that Liu Ce does not really put Qin Xiang in his eyes, so he is too lazy to beat him.

And today, Qin Xiang's self-inflicted clever behavior has actually angered Liu Ce, Liu Ce just kept silent for the time being, staring at Qin Xiang with his eyes, and didn't speak for a long time.

Several of his henchmen and staff members had already been so nervous that they sweated for Lord Qin, but only Lord Qin himself didn't seem to have noticed that this storm was coming.

The atmosphere suddenly became very quiet, Qin Xiang looked up at Liu Ce with some confusion, and also felt that he was a little hairy by the eyes of Zhi Ce, but he still explained again.

"Originally, I thought that if the palace maid was really a fierce person, there would be no proof of death, and Su Mian's reputation would be damaged. Now in the palace, in addition to the emperor, several concubines are very old, and now there is this flying disaster of blood and light, the concubines are frightened, and it is not impossible to get sick or something. ”

It turned out that Qin Xiang actually planned so much behind his back! Listening to what he said today, do you still want to do something to the concubine? Liu Ce was suddenly furious, picked up the teacup on the table, and smashed it at Qin Xiang's feet angrily, which frightened him for a moment.

After all, Qin Xiang is also a minister, not to mention that before that, he didn't want to stand in line, and he rarely lowered his eyebrows to anyone other than the emperor like this. In the past few days, Liu Ce has been polite to him, and he has been a little arrogant, thinking that Liu Ce is looking down on him, and he must be a little different in Liu Ce's heart.

Just like these plans that he made his own ideas during this time, he didn't discuss them with Liu Ce at all.

Now Liu Ce knows that he is naturally angry, after all, if Gu Zhixing investigates thoroughly, he doesn't believe that Qin Xiang can really do it without leaving any clues, and then Gu Zhixing will definitely count this matter on his head!

"Idiot, idiot! Qin Xiang, you are a few years older than me, and you have eaten oil, salt and rice for a few more years, why are you so confused? Those concubines are old, you also know, even if you don't have to do anything from them, they are very likely to not live tomorrow, do you dare to calculate? ”

Qin Xiang obviously didn't understand why Liu Ce was suddenly so angry, as he said, when it came to the several concubines who were supported in the palace, Qin Xiang couldn't think of any other adjectives except for their age.

Anyway, because of his advanced age, he may drive west at any time, and it is not a big deal to be used by himself. Even if something really happened, Qin Xiang wouldn't even feel his conscience uneasy.

Seeing his angry scolding, but Qin Xiang still looked like he dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, Liu Ce became even more angry. Originally, Qin Xiang was on his side before, Liu Ce thought it was very good, and felt that he had an extra helper, but now that he looks at it one by one, he is just an old fool.

"If you think about it carefully, there are no elders in the emperor now, not to mention concubines in the harem, not even the queen mother. Even if the concubines are not very close to the emperor, they are also the emperor's last thoughts now, if they really have three long and two short, the emperor will definitely investigate thoroughly! When the time comes, will you be able to bear the consequences, and will you be able to pray for hundreds of people? ”

Hearing Liu Ce's angry reprimand, Qin Xiang suddenly realized that he was indeed a little negligent. If you want to blame Su Mian, a yellow-haired girl who doesn't know the height of the sky, she really spoke too arrogantly in the palace that day, which stimulated herself.

Qin Xiang couldn't wait to take Su Mian's life directly, but because of his limited ability now, coupled with Gu Zhixing's maintenance, he could only think of some of these tricks to respond to Su Mian.

Now that I heard that Su Mian had also been hurt a lot, and she had stayed in the palace for the past few days, Qin Xiang felt that this was a phased victory, and he wanted to come to invite credit today, but he didn't expect it to be such an end now.

Thinking that after all, he would have to rely on Liu Ce in the future to compete with the regent, although Qin Xiang was quite dissatisfied in his heart, he could only endure the humiliation and quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.

"The Prime Minister has been thoughtful, and the lesson is that it is indeed me who has not been thoughtful, and please don't blame me. After what I said just now is all foolishness, it is natural that I will not act rashly anymore, and even if I have any plans, I will first ask the prime minister for advice. ”

It could be seen that the expression on Qin Xiang's face was unconvinced, but now that he was willing to say this, Liu Ce was also more satisfied, and seeing that he was really planning to rely on himself, he was even a little proud in his heart.

Looking at Qin Xiang, which is recognized as the most difficult old bone to gnaw, has now been taken under his command, although Liu Ce is still a little angry because of what happened just now, but more of it has been replaced by pride and happiness.

"Okay, okay, after all, Lord Qin is a few years older than me, and what I just said is indeed a bit unruly, not in line with the cleanup, and please don't be angry. I just want to remind you that Su Mian is definitely not as easy to deal with as it seems, otherwise, I can still keep her life until now? ”

Liu Ce sang black face for a while, and sang white face for a while, Qin Xiang could only respond with a smile now, and he was still a little angry in his heart, so he didn't show too much kindness.

But Liu Ce didn't care much about it at all, he knew that Qin Xiang would definitely be dissatisfied in his heart now, and after he went back to his house to think about it, he knew that what he said today was right.

"Lord Qin. The regent is now a madman, and he will bite whoever provokes him, even the emperor. Do you think the emperor is willing to get close to him? The emperor is now grown up and wise, and he knows that the regent can't move for the time being, so he deliberately does this. ”

Liu Ce said this earnestly, as if he was the roundworm in Gu Zhao's stomach, and he swore so much, not realizing that in fact, the emperor's new appointment to him was really gradually gone, which was not pretentious on the surface.

Hearing what the prime minister said, everyone was a little skeptical, but they were a little happy in their hearts. Originally, I thought that the emperor was obsessed and was going to go against the prime minister, but now that the prime minister is saying this, I am afraid that he has already been sure in his heart and is confident, and he is really better than Cheng!

After thinking about this, Qin Xiang's heart was really not as awkward as before, and he was finally willing to convince himself and say something to raise Liu Ce.

"What the Prime Minister said is that if the emperor insists on going against the regent now, it is really not grown up. It's the old minister's lack of consideration, and then about the matter of the regent and Su Mian, I must first consult with the prime minister. ”
