Palace.

In the imperial garden, Zhao Man supported the queen mother and slowly walked in the imperial garden.

Since the Queen Mother paid attention to her diet and often walked and exercised, her condition has gradually improved, although it has not been cured, but it has also stabilized to a state where she will not suffer often.

The two walked for a while, and the Queen Mother looked at Zhao Man outside the fugue and said, "Okay, you don't have to listen to your father, stay in the palace all day long with the mourning family, go out of the palace and do your own thing." ”

"I don't have anything to do...... Zhao Man shook his head and said, "I want to accompany the imperial grandmother more in the palace." ”

The Queen Mother paused, turned her head to look at her, and asked, "Are you leaving?" ”

Zhao Man's expression was a little flustered, and he asked, "What, what are you leaving?" ”

"Okay, it's just the two of us here, you grew up on the lap of the mourning family, what can't we say." The Queen Mother touched her head and said, "The little man'er of the mourning family was still crawling on the ground back then, and she was so big in a blink of an eye, and she was about to leave the mourning family and Your Majesty......"

Zhao Man lowered his head and said, "I, I'm not leaving, I'm not going anywhere......"

"It's good to go, it's good to go." The Queen Mother looked at her and said: "The palace is not suitable for you, if you want to go, go farther, the farther you go, the farther you go, the farther away from you......"

Zhao Man looked at her and said in surprise: "Queen Mother......"

"Don't say it, don't say it." The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "When people are old, they always love to complain......"

The two walked in the imperial garden for another quarter of an hour, and suddenly a palace maid walked in quickly and said, "Queen Mother, Zhao Guogong asks to see ......."

The Queen Mother looked at her and said, "Let's go, the mourning family hasn't seen him for a long time." ”

Zhao Man stayed where he was, and the Queen Mother walked to a pavilion in front of her, where an old man stood respectfully.

The Queen Mother walked over and asked, "Why do you have time to come to the palace today?" ”

Zhou Wu looked at the Queen Mother, with a look of grief and indignation on his face, and said, "You have to be the master of Qing'er!" ”

Zhou Qing is a single lineage of the Zhou family, although the queen mother has been in the palace for many years, she often pays attention to the affairs of the Zhou family, frowned when she heard the words, and asked, "What's wrong with Qing'er?" ”

Zhou Wu squeezed out a few tears and said: "He was interrupted, and the doctor said that he might have to lie in bed for the rest of his life and be a waste......

The Queen Mother straightened her face and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"Qing'er was seriously injured by a wicked man, who was originally imprisoned in the Criminal Department, waiting for her to be released, but the Criminal Department actually shielded the wicked man and actually released her, which clearly means not taking the Zhou family in his eyes and not putting the Queen Mother in his eyes......"

The Queen Mother looked at him and asked, "Qing'er is seriously injured?" ”

Zhou Wudao: "Qing'er was almost beaten to death by them on the street, he didn't provoke that person at all, that person did this to him, my poor Qing'er......"

"Alright, alright." The Queen Mother glanced at him and said, "I will let Your Majesty check this matter......"

Moments later, the Imperial Study.

Emperor Chen looked at Zhou Wu and asked, "Is there such a thing?" ”

"Absolutely." Zhou Wu raised his palm and said, "If the minister has half a lie, it will be called a good death......

"Uncle doesn't have to be like this." Emperor Chen waved his hand, looked at Wei Jian, and said, "Summoning the Shangshu of the Criminal Department into the palace." ”

Wei Jian pursed his lips and said, "Your Majesty, in this matter, I am afraid that it is not enough to only summon the Shangshu of the Criminal Department into the palace." ”

Chen Huang asked, "Why?" ”

Wei Jian said: "Because this matter was ordered by Lord Tang. ”

Emperor Chen frowned and said, "Tang Ning? ”

Wei Jian looked at Emperor Chen and said, "Your Majesty was unwell a few days ago, and the old slave didn't tell you about it. ”

Emperor Chen looked at Zhao Guogong, but he could no longer take back his fate, thought about it, and said, "Call him into the palace." ”

……

Tang House.

Tang Ning looked at Tang Shui and asked, "Are you going to the Western Regions?" ”

Tang Shui nodded and said, "I want to go to Xiaowan to have a look, maybe my father and mother are still alive." ”

Tang Ning could understand her thoughts, nodded and said, "It's okay to go and take a look, I heard that you bought all the Xiaowan slaves they took captive, is the silver enough?" ”

Tang Shui said: "It's still a little worse. ”

Tang Ning walked back to the study, quickly came out again, handed her a box, and said, "Here is 100,000 taels, you take it and use it first, it's not enough." ”

Tang Shui wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he still took it and said, "I don't need that much." ”

Tang Ning said: "You can take the rest, this trip is far away, and there will always be a time when you need silver." ”

The county lord of Anyang stood aside, looked at the wooden box in Tang Shui's hand, his throat moved, looked at Tang Ning, and said: "Actually, if you think about it, you are also related to our royal family, that is to say, I am also your sister......"

Tang Ning said: "Concubine Tang Hui is Concubine Tang Hui, I am me." ”

The county lord of Anyang said: "What about Xiaoman, she is my sister, you, you are that, shouldn't you also call me sister?" ”

Tang Ning said: "Even if I call you sister, the 10,000 taels will have to be returned." ”

The county lord of Anyang glanced at him and said, "I don't have a younger brother like you. ”

Tang Ning wanted to say something more to Tang Shui, and as soon as he looked up, he saw Wei Jian's face.

Tang Ning looked at him and asked, "Your Majesty summoned you?" ”

Wei Jian nodded.

Tang Ning didn't take out the apple from his sleeve this time, and asked tentatively, "What is the reason for this time?" ”

Wei Jian said: "Zhao Guogong has entered the palace, and because of Zhou Qing's matter, he sued you in front of His Majesty and the Queen Mother." ”

When Tang Shui heard this, his face changed slightly.

Although Tang Ning's expression remained unchanged, he was a little surprised in his heart.

Zhou Qing's matter, Tang Shui is at fault, but the Zhou family is not all right.

He had already written a letter of apology to the Zhou family, and sent a large cart of valuable gifts, although the Zhou family did not reply, but accepted the gift, which can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence to the matter.

If he hadn't planned to let Tang Shui go, he could have refused those gifts, and Tang Ning would have known what he meant.

However, he accepted the gift, and two days later, he went to the palace to complain......

I have to say that Zhao Guogong did a very inauthentic thing.

Wei Jian looked at him and said, "Lord Tang, let's go." ”

Tang Shui was about to speak, but Tang Ning stretched out his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll deal with it, you just wait at home, don't go anywhere." ”

After that, he looked at Wei Jian and said, "Let's go." ”

Watching them leave, Tang Shuixiu frowned slightly and asked, "Why did Zhao Guogong regret it?" ”

"Don't you know, more than half of the slaves in the Western Regions of the Jingshi are from the Zhou family." The county lord of Anyang looked at her and said, "He cut off the Zhou family's wealth, how could the Zhou family let him go?" ”

"And said that you are just his cousin......" The county lord of Anyang looked at her, shook his head and said: "I am also his cousin, why don't you see him being so good to me, offending so many powerful people for me, offending His Majesty and the Queen Mother------ why didn't he give me 100,000 taels of silver?" ”

"Don't complain...... Tang Shui grabbed her hand and said, "Hurry up and enter the palace and help me inquire about the news......"

……

Tang Ning followed Wei Jian into the palace, walked into the imperial study, bowed down and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Emperor Chen looked at him and asked, "Minister Counselor Zhao, you used your power for personal gain and released prisoners privately, can you do this?" ”

Tang Ning opened his mouth, but before he could speak, suddenly a figure ran in from outside.

The county lord of Anyang stood in the hall, looked at Emperor Chen, and said aggrievedly: "Uncle Huang, you want to be the master of Anyang!" ”

Tang Ning looked at her, saw her face full of tears, her body trembled slightly, and she looked like she had been greatly wronged, and couldn't help but freeze in place.
