Chapter 354: Turning a Blind Eye
On the morning of the second day of Qian Baihan's assassination, when Zhou Qingwu got out of the morning court and returned to the Shang study, Xiao Luzi came to Zhou Qingwu's side from outside the palace and whispered: "Your Majesty, General Qian was assassinated last night. ”
Zhou Qingwu raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Luzi, "Is there something wrong with Qian Baihan?" ”
Xiao Luzi shook his head and said, "Fortunately, when I found it in time, only a few guards in the mansion died." ”
Zhou Qingwu sat on the dragon chair and nodded, "I know." ”
Xiao Luzi said with some doubts: "Your Majesty, ...... you"
didn't even say half of the words, Xiao Luzi shut up knowingly, Qian Baihan was assassinated, whether you want to check it or not, whether you want to check it or not, it's not his turn to worry about it as a eunuch.
Zhou Qingwu saw that Xiao Luzi wanted to speak and stopped, and raised a smile and asked, "You want to ask, why didn't I send someone to find out who did it this time?" ”
Xiao Luzi nodded cautiously, and Zhou Qingwu said with a smile: "No need to check, I also know who did it." ”
"Your Majesty is wise, and a slave can never reach it." Xiao Luzi said flatteringly.
Zhou Qingwu turned a deaf ear to Xiao Luzi's flattery, only took a book on the table and began to correct it.
Qian Baihan was assassinated, which was a good thing for him.
The secret guard has already sent news that Xia Chuli has always respected Qian Baihan very much, and has regarded Qian Baihan as a relative, and now that Qian Baihan has an accident, she must know why.
Even if she decrees her to enter the palace to serve now, presumably she will not dare to disrespect the decree for the sake of Qian Baihan.
In this case, let's stay in Yang Yuecheng for a few days this time!
Wait until Xia Chuli enters the palace, and then let Yang Yuecheng know that this position of general is not something he can sit on.
As the sun set, Yang Yuecheng had already learned that the two assassins he sent not only failed to assassinate, but one was even captured alive.
He threw his cup in annoyance, and announced that a guard came to him and asked, "Your Majesty can send someone to Qian Baihan's mansion today?" ”
Qian Baihan used to be Zhou Qingwu's right-hand man, and he made great achievements, but now he was still recuperating from his injuries, and he was assassinated again, even if he has no official position, Zhou Qingwu probably has a certain possibility of sending someone to visit.
The guard arched his hand and replied: "General Hui, Your Majesty has never sent anyone to Qian Baihan's mansion. ”
Hearing the guard say this, Yang Yuecheng frowned a little and said, "Go down!" ”
"Yes!" The guard answered, and a graceful figure came from outside the hall, passing by the guard.
"General, what's the matter? Make such a big fury? Jiang Yunrou came to Yang Yuecheng's side, looked at him and asked in a coquettish voice.
Yang Yuecheng's originally depressed mood was relieved a little after seeing Jiang Yunrou's beautiful face, "Qian Baihan didn't even die, he even captured an assassin alive!" ”
Jiang Yunrou asked, "Is the general afraid that the person sent will confess to the general?" ”
Yang Yuecheng shook his head, "No, he doesn't dare, his family is in my hands, even if he dies, it is impossible to confess to the general." ”
Hearing Yang Yuecheng say this, Jiang Yunrou couldn't help but wonder: "What is the general worried about?" ”
Yang Yuecheng clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty seems to have taken a fancy to Qian Baihan's sister, since he gave the glass lantern to Xia Chuli. Xiao Luzi also said that His Majesty intends to take Xia Chuli as a concubine. If I can't kill Qian Baihan before Xia Chuli enters the palace, and when Xia Chuli enters the palace, won't I give Qian Baihan a chance to turn over? ”
Jiang Yunrou saw that Yang Yuecheng was a little excited, she stretched out her slender fingers and stroked Qian Baihan's chest, and said to him: "General, don't worry, even if Xia Chuli can enter the palace, Your Majesty can still ask Qian Baihan to be reinstated for a woman, at most what other position will be given, in short, it is under the general, why should the general bother about this?" ”
Yang Yuecheng knew that what Jiang Yunrou said was reasonable, but he still shook his head and said: "Qian Baihan will not die for a day, and I will not be able to sit still for a day as a general." ”
Jiang Yunrou thought for a while and said: "Since Qian Baihan sent his sister into the palace to please Your Majesty, why should the general also send a woman into the palace, when the time comes, the general doesn't have to worry, and it can be regarded as a containment." ”
Yang Yuecheng turned his head to look at Jiang Yunrou, his eyes were very deep, "I can only keep my rights by relying on women, I ......"
The corners of Jiang Yunrou's mouth hooked up a gentle smile, "The general is a real manly man, but Qian Baihan sent people into the palace to please the emperor, why can't the general?" The big husband can bend and stretch, and no one will laugh at the general. ”
Her voice was extremely gentle, and it seemed to carry a kind of reassuring magic, so that all the irritability and restlessness he had just had just had been eliminated.
He held her Jiang Yunrou's hand, and finally said, "Okay, let's do as you say!" ”
Jiang Yunrou responded, "General, don't frown anymore, seeing the general frowning, the slave family is very distressed." ”
Yang Yuecheng hugged her into his arms and said very satisfied: "It's really my blessing to have you by my side." ”
Jiang Yunrou showed a smile, and the little bird fell on his chest: "It's also a blessing for the slave family." ”
Early the next morning, Yang Yuecheng ordered someone to start looking for a suitable woman, preparing to wait for the selection of a concubine and send it to Zhou Qingwu's side.
When this incident reached Zhou Qingwu's ears, Zhou Qingwu was practicing calligraphy with a brush.
"Let him go!" Zhou Qingwu smiled faintly, "It is not easy for Yang Yuecheng to figure out this matter. ”
Xiao Luzi responded and said to Zhou Qingwu: "The slave remembers that the last time His Majesty asked the slave to reveal it to General Yang, and when His Majesty wanted Naxia Chuli to enter the palace as a concubine, General Yang was very disdainful of General Qian's matter of currying favor with His Majesty and relying on women to save his life. ”
Zhou Qingwu smiled and said: "Although Yang Yuecheng is not very capable, this man's self-esteem is very strong, but it's a pity that he didn't use it in the right place." ”
The words fell, and the last stroke on the paper had been completed, although Xiao Luzi didn't know calligraphy and painting, he still praised it with all his praise.
Zhou Qingwu turned his head to look at him and said, "You have been very good at talking recently, did you leave your brain in Yang Yuecheng's mansion and haven't you taken it back?" ”
Although Zhou Qingwu's tone was flat, he made Xiao Luzi shudder, "The slave doesn't dare, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me." ”
Zhou Qingwu glanced at him lightly, turned the rice paper that had just been written on the table into a ball, and threw it aside.
Xiao Luzi panicked in his heart, but he didn't dare to speak, for fear that he would say the wrong word again, which would make Zhou Qingwu Longyan even more angry.
Zhou Qingwu ignored Xiao Luzi's panic, didn't say much, stood up and walked outside the hall.
