The news of the fire in Tongxiang Hall has spread throughout the palace. Qi Guifei's face changed, and she threw the teacup out angrily, and was immediately caught by Guo Zheng, who was just about to come in.

"Mother." Guo Zheng called softly.

Qi Guifei's face immediately calmed down, and she said coldly: "Do you still have the face to come back?" ”

Guo Zheng was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The slave is guilty, I'm sorry Niangniang, I thought I could burn her, but I didn't know that I was rescued by that palace maid." ”

Qi Guifei said coldly: "You have already said that you are sorry, this palace doesn't want to hear this sentence, you can't even deal with a little girl, this palace is becoming more and more disappointed in you." ”

"Niangniang......" Guo Zheng still wanted to say something. Then he heard the king of Yue come in.

Seeing that Guo Zheng was also there, his face sank, Guo Zheng had always disliked this eunuch, and men and women always revolved around Concubine Qi.

"Mother."

Qi Guifei glanced outside, a look of displeasure appeared on her face, and she said angrily: "Are all the people outside dead?" Why didn't King Yue come in and spread the word? ”

Seeing that Concubine Qi's face changed slightly, King Yue hurriedly said, "Why is the concubine so angry?" It was the son who was in a hurry, so he didn't let them pass it on. After speaking, he glanced at Guo Zheng who was kneeling on the ground, and remembered the fire in the middle of the night, and knew it in his heart.

He stood with his hands in his hands and said proudly: "It turns out that someone is not doing things well that will annoy the mother concubine, Gonggong Guo, your recent performance is really disappointing." ”

Guo Zheng glanced at King Yue, he looked at him condescendingly, and his eyes were full of disdain.

Originally, it was nothing for Qi Guifei to reprimand herself, but even her own son was so sneering at him, for so many years, this son was indifferent and contemptuous to himself, and even had a kind of disgust for him when he saw him, looking back, Guo Zheng's heart couldn't help but be a little angry.

King Yue's face was solemn, "Mother, what can he help you if you keep such a person by your side?" It's better to change someone, isn't it just a girl? Is it really that hard to deal with? ”

When Guo Zheng heard this, he was shocked, and then looked at Qi Guifei.

Qi Guifei rubbed her forehead, and did not respond to his words, but said slowly: "I heard that you sent a big gift to Tongxiang Hall yesterday?" ”

King Yue's original unwavering expression dimmed at this time, and he said, "It's a gift, it's a pity...... Hey, failed. ”

Qi Guifei glared at him, "It's all useless things, and now even the fire can't kill her, this girl's life is really hard?" ”

King Yue sneered and said disdainfully: "Can there be a hard stone in the hard, it's just a fluke, if it weren't for Guo's father-in-law's dedication, how could she escape?" ”

When Guo Zheng heard this, he hurriedly defended himself: "Niangniang, the slave is absolutely loyal to Niangniang. ”

King Yue sneered, "Loyal? What is the use of your faithfulness? Well, that slut has moved to Zixia Palace, which is the closest to his father's Chongyang Palace, and it's not so simple to deal with her. ”

Guo Zheng was just about to speak, but he heard Qi Guifei say impatiently: "Okay, you two go down, this palace wants to be quiet." ”

When Guo Zheng heard this, he didn't say anything more, but got up and quietly retreated.

Out of the main hall, Guo Zheng was stopped by King Yue before he walked a few steps.

"Gonggong Guo stays." Guo Zheng was the person next to Concubine Qi, but King Yue didn't even ask him for a word.

Guo Zheng stopped, turned around and said lightly: "I don't know what His Royal Highness King Yue commands?" ”

King Yue got straight to the point, "Ming people don't do dark things, what is the purpose of staying by your mother's side for so many years?" ”

Guo Zheng was stunned, he thought that King Yue had always had no city, but he didn't expect to be so thoughtful, and suddenly said such a sentence, it seems that he usually underestimates him.

Guo Zheng raised his eyebrows and said, "Where is King Yue?" What purpose can a slave have if he is a eunuch? ”

King Yue sneered: "Hmph, if you weren't a eunuch, this king would have let your head fall to the ground a long time ago, so why do you need to keep you until now!" ”

When Guo Zheng heard this, he was shocked, he had always known that King Yue hated him, but he didn't expect that he would have murderous intentions towards him, and he couldn't help but feel like an ice cellar.

"Why does His Royal Highness King Yue hate me so much, I have been dedicated and loyal to Niangniang for so many years."

King Yue sneered, his eyes full of disdain, "Do your best? Don't think that this king doesn't know that you have selfish intentions for your mother. ”

King Yue is not a fool, every time he sees Guo Zheng looking at the kind of eyes of the concubine, King Yue can't help but feel disgusted from the bottom of his heart.

Guo Zheng's expression was faint, and his words seemed to be disdainful: "His Royal Highness King Yue has misunderstood, and the slaves don't dare." ”

King Yue knew that his tone was perfunctory, and anger grew in his heart, he took a step forward, his eyes became fierce, "You'd better know your identity, you're just a lowly minion, the mother concubine is the emperor's person, a noble concubine, not something that you, a toad, can covet." ”

Guo Zheng was angry in his heart, gritted his teeth with hatred, and his eyes flashed a trace of fierceness, this evil seed actually said this about himself, he is low? And what about him?

Guo Zheng's voice was faintly angry, "Your Highness's words are remembered by the slave, if there is nothing wrong, the slave will retire." ”

Guo Zheng walked out of the door of Qifang Palace and glanced back. He couldn't help but grit his teeth.

He went out of the palace to the tavern to get drunk, and within half an hour the table was filled with empty bottles, when a man appeared opposite him, and sat down.

"Isn't this Gonggong Guo? So coincidentally came out to drink? Jiang Yuan waved his fan and said with a leisurely expression.

Guo Zheng raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said contemptuously: "It turned out to be Jiang Gongzi, you can meet here, it's really a coincidence." ”

Jiang Yuan looked at Guo Zheng's expression and couldn't help teasing, "Grandpa Guo doesn't seem to be in a good mood?" Could it be that he was angry with his mother? So running for a drink? ”

Guo Zheng's face immediately became gloomy, "Jiang Gongzi is really smart. ”

Jiang Yuan smiled and said: "I'm not pretending to be smart, everyone knows that Concubine Qi is naturally arrogant, and she is favored by the emperor, and it is inevitable that she will be irritable, of course, it is normal for the people around her to be angry." ”

However, in this world, only the emperor favors the temper of Concubine Qi, and if it were someone else, I am afraid that I would not be able to stand it for a long time.

So it was really wise for Concubine Qi to choose to marry the emperor back then, otherwise she wouldn't be so happy now, not to mention her children, and she has the emperor's love, and her status is noble, a woman's life is just like this, right? Guo Gonggong. ”

Jiang Yuan's words pierced Guo Zheng's heart like a steel needle.

He sneered, "Although I am a eunuch and don't understand those feelings and loves, I also know that not all women like glory and wealth. ”

Jiang Yuan couldn't help laughing, "Hey, what you said reminds me of a family member in my house, he recently got along with a woman, this is a very common thing, but the other party is a young lady from an official family, so I persuaded my family to let him give up this relationship, so who is the other party, what rich son has never seen?" How could she like a subordinate, she is clearly fresh? But my family Ding is too stubborn and doesn't listen to me, saying that the young lady doesn't eat the fire of the world, doesn't like glory and wealth, and only likes him as a person. After speaking, he looked at Guo Zhengdao and said, "Father-in-law Guo, do you say it's ridiculous?" ”

As soon as the wine glass in Guo Zheng's hand touched his mouth, he put it down, and smiled: "What if that woman is telling the truth?" It's not impossible! With that, he drank his glass.

Jiang Yuan shook his head and said: "But I don't believe it, in order to prove that what I said is true, and to prove that I am for the good of my family, so I locked up the family, and sure enough, ten days later, the woman was engaged to someone else, and the other party is still a rich businessman with a talent, my family Ding learned that she was going to marry, so he went to find her, but the woman still maintained a bitter look in front of my family, saying that the order of her parents cannot be disobeyed, so that my family still remembers her to this day." ”

"So, I'd rather believe that there are ghosts in this world than believe in the woman's mouth, think, since it's true love, how can you choose to marry someone else in just ten days? So it's not greedy for a moment of freshness, and when you really talk about marriage, who will marry a lowly person. ”

Guo Zheng's face gradually became ugly, and his eyes became deep, but he still said lightly: "I believe that there are exceptions to everything." ”

Jiang Yuan waved his hand and said: "I don't dare to agree with my father-in-law's words, there is no woman who doesn't like to be prosperous and rich, and no woman likes to marry a lowly person, and no woman likes to live a poor life and like to eat chaff and vegetables, if there is, then that woman must be a fool." ”

Guo Zheng clenched his wine glass and said coldly: "You are not a woman, why do you say that?" ”

Jiang Yuan chuckled: "Although I am not a woman, but I still understand the truth that people go to high places and water flows to low places, just take Qi Guifei as an example, I heard that she was just the daughter of a third-grade official, if she didn't like glory and wealth, how could she sit in this position now, the so-called one person has ascended to heaven, now she has the rights, honor, children and the love of her husband, she has all the dreams of this woman, if she marries a common people, what will happen to this Qi Guifei's life now?" After speaking, Jiang Yuan watched his expression change silently.

Guo Zheng's eyes were like a layer of fog, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he dried up a glass of wine, having said that, he didn't believe that Qi Guifei would be the kind of woman he said in his mouth anyway.

Since his leg was injured, Shen Lanxin has been in bed for five days, and after the Tongxiang Hall was burned by fire, it rained, which was not very big, but it also rained for three days and three nights.

On the sixth day, Shen Lan's heart went to the ground, gently pushed open the door, a fragrance of acacia flowers came to her nose, since she moved to Zixia Palace, she has not walked around, the pattern of Zixia Hall is similar to the previous Tongxiang Palace, compared to the flowers in the courtyard are much less than Tongxiang Palace, but there is a huge koi pond and a swing and a few acacia trees, he remembers that there is an acacia tree in Gao Xu's house, her letter has been sent out for six days, it stands to reason that he should have received it, but does he know the mechanism of the pearl hairpin? Don't throw it away as waste, Shen Lan looked at the few acacia trees and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

At the same time, Nanling Qing Wangfu.

Ashin entered the study with a cup of ginseng tea, and Gao Xu was intently reviewing the folds handed by the officials below.

"Childe, you've been watching it for more than two hours, let's take a break." Ashin reminded him with tea.

Gao Xu didn't raise his head, and said lightly: "This king is not tired, put the ginseng tea there, go out." ”

Ashin stood there, looking like he didn't plan to go out, he frowned, with a worried look, "Childe, it's not that you are small, since Miss Shen disappeared, you have either been busy with business or locked yourself in the study all day every day, even if you are an iron man, you will be tired and sick in the end." ”

Ashin has said this more than once.

Gao Xu said impatiently: "Ashin, why do you talk so much every time?" ”

Ah Xin pouted, "The slave talks a lot, but the slave is for your good, in case you are tired, how can I explain to Miss Shen?" ”

Gao Xu didn't respond to him, as if he hadn't heard him.

Ashin shook his head, reluctantly put down the ginseng tea, and turned around and went out.

Out of the study, Ashin folded his hands and said to himself to the sky, "Miss Shen, where are you, if you don't come out again, Childe's body will really be unbearable." ”

At this moment, the guard outside the door walked in with a letter.
