Chapter 418: Past Love
Concubine Cao thought that Wei Ping was still under her control.
Back then, in order to leave an impression in front of the emperor and appear in time when the emperor needed it most, she gave Wei Ping a lot of benefits, it can be said that Wei Ping can stay by the emperor's side and wander in the court and harem as the first celebrity, which is inseparable from her support.
She and Wei Ping have a mutually beneficial relationship.
Therefore, she attaches some importance to Wei Ping's words.
Since Wei Ping dared to guarantee it like this, it means that the emperor revealed this meaning.
At that moment, Cao Guifei also breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
"In this way, then the palace will not disturb the emperor."
Watching Cao Guifei leave, Wei Ping hurriedly returned to the imperial study.
The old emperor sat at the table, and the folds on his side were neatly stacked together, all of which he had reviewed.
And in front of him, there is a case file just sent by Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
"Back to the emperor, the mother is gone."
The old emperor slowly raised his eyelids and looked at Wei Ping with a complicated expression.
Wei Ping buried his head.
has served the old emperor for many years, and it can be said that he is the person who knows the emperor best.
In order to survive, he trained early in the ability to observe words and emotions and speculate on people's hearts.
Not to mention that he knows the emperor's mind clearly, at least he knows when to say something, so that he can be safe and sound.
Therefore, with a glance from the old emperor, Wei Ping was alert to the old emperor's movements and tensed his body.
"Did she say anything?"
"Back to the emperor, Niangniang was worried about your body, so she deliberately boiled ginseng soup with her own hands, so that you could take care of your body more, and because of the matter of His Royal Highness, I wanted to ask the emperor for guilt."
The old emperor sneered, "She is sensible, she doesn't ask about the result, and directly asks for guilt." ”
"Niangniang is also worried about the Third Highness." Wei Ping was relieved.
The old emperor's eyes swept over the case file on the table, "Wei Ping, you have been with me for more than thirty years, right?" ”
"Back to the emperor, it is thirty-two years, and the slave has been with the emperor since he was five years old."
"Thirty-two years," the old emperor said meaningfully......
Wei Ping's eyes and nose and nose and heart did not change.
"You say, isn't it a long time since the people around you have changed?"
"Your Majesty, other people's slaves don't know, slaves only know that slaves are born as emperors' people, and dead are emperor's ghosts. The emperor is the heaven of the slave, and now, everything the slave has is given to the slave by the emperor, and only the loyalty to the emperor is the duty of the slave, and it is also the root of the slave's dog and human power. ”
"You can talk, but after following me for a long time, you've become flamboyant." The old emperor suddenly smiled, and seemed to be in a good mood.
Wei Ping said without blinking his eyes: "What the slave said is the truth, the slave is flamboyant, and he also sees that the emperor is in a bad mood all day, so he thinks about Fang Zi teasing the emperor, and the emperor has a fiery eye and sees it." ”
He smiled flatteringly, his face full of flattery.
The old emperor pointed his finger in Wei Ping's direction and tapped it a few times, "You...... The people around me are faithful. ”
"Your Majesty, this is the duty of a slave, and it is not worthy of the emperor's praise. The slave accompanied the emperor step by step, all kinds of sadness, all kinds of dangers have been experienced, and the slave is worth it in this life. Wei Ping said this from the heart.
If it is a human being, it is divided into three, six, nine and so on.
Even if it is a prince, there are princes, those who are favored, those who are not favored, those who must be removed, those who can be trampled on, and those who are left to fend for themselves.
So, not to mention the eunuchs who followed the prince.
Whether the master can succeed or not is related to their life and death.
With a shrewd, capable, background, and means prince, the future is naturally limitless.
But if you are left to fend for yourself, there may not be a chance to turn the tables.
Wei Ping was very happy.
His master is a ruthless person who doesn't recognize his six relatives.
Fortunately, he persevered all the way.
"After a long time of stability, I have a mind that I shouldn't have......"
The old emperor's words suddenly changed, and Wei Ping's heart tightened, knowing that the old emperor was going to talk about the key points.
The old emperor got up and walked out from behind his desk with his hands behind his back.
"I consider myself to be in the prime of life, and when I am not yet forty years old, the princes below cannot sit still, and they want to replace me, an old immortal. Did I give them hope over the years, or did they think they could be more capable than me? ”
"Your Majesty......" Wei Pingcheng was terrified, but he didn't know what to say.
He didn't really need to say anything, just to properly express his timidity.
When the emperor was still a prince, he was the most unpopular prince, and even the opportunity to go to the emperor to study was won by the queen mother when the emperor was almost ten years old.
The emperor's talent is not very high, but the emperor is willing to endure hardships, and he has a ruthless spirit, and he starts later than several other princes, so he spends more time.
is riding and shooting, and the emperor also practices until midnight.
With no background and no helpers, the emperor walked slowly step by step alone, and finally reached the age of the branch, and the emperor was also placed outside the palace under the efforts of the queen mother.
The emperor hid his edge, and coldly watched the other brothers fight to the death, not only know how to avoid its edge, but also learn to protect themselves, in addition, but also quietly develop their own power, so the emperor married very late, and when he was not confused, several princes were only weak at the age of the crown.
The older he gets, the more he values the rights in his hands, especially when the emperor was young, he came all the way through the bloody storms, not to mention his former brothers, even if a few princes touched his bottom line, he would also cut the grass and eradicate the roots.
I couldn't help but worry about a few princes who died.
Who the emperor wants to appoint as the crown prince is a matter for the emperor to consider, and several princes want to fight in the nest, so hide it and fight it themselves, the matter is big, causing public anger, and the emperor wants to come forward to calm down the people's anger and deal with the aftermath, and finally affect their own weight in the emperor's heart, why is this difficult?
"Wei Ping, you said, the so-called tonic soup is really that effective."
Sure enough, it came!
Wei Ping's heart sank.
The reciprocity between him and Cao Guifei, he is sure that only the two of them know, he never overdoes anything beyond the rules, he always remembers who his master is, and what was revealed to Cao Guifei is also beneficial to the emperor, Cao Guifei helps out, or a few words of comfort, showing the appearance of an interpretation flower, which can not only elevate Cao Guifei's status in the emperor's heart, but also soothe the emperor's emotions, so he dared to reveal it to Cao Guifei.
He never took chances, and never thought how smart he was or how clever his methods were.
It is precisely because he correctly estimated his position that he has come to this point without danger.
Hearing the emperor's question, Wei Ping quickly adjusted his emotions, "Your Majesty, this, the slave really doesn't know, if there is a detailed recipe, maybe the people in the hospital will see the clue." The slave believes that since folk things exist, it means that they are useful, after all, the medicine of this recipe is really ...... It's hard to accept. But Cao Guifei has persevered for decades, which shows that it is effective for her. ”
"It really works," I don't know what came to mind, the old emperor's face was gloomy, "Once upon a time, I was also sincere to Cao Guifei, not to mention anything else, just to say that when I was diving, her unwavering affection, I would treat her well, why did she bother to come out with these moths." ”
Wei Ping's eyes rolled and said, "Your Majesty, Niangniang also loves the emperor very much, so she wants to keep the emperor with her beauty." ”
Seeing the disdain on the old emperor's face, Wei Ping said again: "Your Majesty, Niangniang naturally knows this, but every year, there are show girls who enter the palace, younger than Niangniang, and Niangniang is also worried that her weight in your heart is getting lighter and lighter, so she wants to use other methods to retain her beauty." “
"The third child's position in my heart has never changed."
So, what is she worried about?
Wei Ping sorted out his language and said: "Your Majesty, it is precisely because Niangniang knows the high hopes of your message to His Highness, so she is more worried about the impact of these things on His Highness, and it is reasonable to come here today." ”
"You're defending her at every turn."
"Your Majesty," Wei Ping's attitude was even more humble, knowing that the old emperor didn't mean anything else when he said this, just a simple joke, so when he spoke again, he didn't panic in his heart, "You also said that Niangniang's relationship with you is not ordinary." The slave also followed you and Niangniang all the way, and in those years, Niangniang did her best for the emperor. Lord Cao's ability is limited, and the mother is a woman, and she is stunned to resist the pressure from all parties to help the emperor guard the back house, so that you can concentrate on planning. It's inconvenient for you to come forward, Niangniang will help you complete it alone, Niangniang's efforts over the years, the slave has always remembered. Therefore, as long as it does not hurt the emperor, hurt the society, and hurt several other princes, the servants will help the mother say a few good words. ”
Wei Ping said this with great skill.
does not deny his unusual maintenance of Cao Guifei, but he puts his position extremely high.
The old emperor sighed, "I also remember what you said, otherwise, I would not have handed over the phoenix seal to her and let her lead the harem." ”
"Your Majesty, Niangniang is just thinking about it for a while, because Lord Cao's qualifications are limited, and he can't help Niangniang and His Royal Highness, so Niangniang is too careful and cautious. In the front, there are those old people who are eyeing each other, and their family backgrounds are better than Niangniang, and in the back, the new show girls are in hot pursuit, relying on their youth, and they want to compete for favor in front of the emperor, and Niangniang is also exhausted. ”
In Wei Ping's enlightenment, the old emperor's heart gradually dissolved, "She is a person who has been with me for almost twenty years, and she still doesn't understand my temper?" ”
Seeing that the old emperor's tone was loose, Wei Ping also breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's it, it's on the feelings of the past, this time, I'll forget it, this is the last time."
"The emperor can rest assured, the slave will definitely tell the mother."
"However, during this time, don't put her brand."
Thinking of a person sleeping next to him who eats human internal organs and drinks human blood, the old emperor is still very worried in his heart.
