"His Majesty came to the minister in private, probably not just to tell the minister that Lin Shangshu might have something to do with this matter, right?" Han Jian smiled deeply and asked.

The empress said coldly: "King Dong, if you talk about scheming, there are few people in the world who are more ill-intentioned than you. Do you think I'm here to sow discord? ”

"Otherwise?" Han Jian asked rhetorically.

The empress simply glanced at Han Jian, with a bit of the charm of her daughter's family in her eyes, which was exactly the same as Yang Li'er's appearance when she was ashamed and angry, which made Han Jian extremely excited.

"Let's put it this way, if your majesty sends anything, you will say it bluntly. The ministers should do their best to share their worries for His Majesty. Han Jian calmed down the yearning in his heart and said respectfully.

The empress was not polite, and said directly: "I want you to arrest the assassin within three days, can you do it?" ”

"It doesn't seem to be that hard to do."

"Huh?"

The empress looked at Han Jian, and when she saw Han Jian's determined demeanor, she felt that Han Jian had something hidden in his heart.

Han Jian continued: "I don't know if the minister has done it, what reward can His Majesty have?" ”

"It's your duty to track down the assassins, and you dare to ask me for a reward?" The Empress glared at Han Jian and said, "What reward do you want?" ”

"The minister wants to participate in the Buddha with His Majesty, I wonder if His Majesty can agree?"

Originally, the empress thought that Han Jian would make some undesirable request, but the result was to "visit Buddhism together" with her, which made her feel a little novel. At this time, the empress also felt that Han Jian in her eyes couldn't see through, even if she had more than ten years of life experience, she still felt helpless in front of such a hairy boy.

"Catch the assassin first."

The Empress said and left. Han Jian asked, "But you want to go back?" ”

"Or else?" The empress said in Han Jian's tone just now.

"His Majesty came to visit late at night, if he went back alone like this, it was the minister's failure to protect Luan. If the minister sends someone to protect His Majesty and goes back, and His Majesty comes out, how should he explain it? It's better to stay in the house for a day, wait for dawn, and then go back to the palace, and when the time comes, the minister will personally escort His Majesty back to the palace. ”

"Forget it. Put your mind on how to govern the government well. I'm not there to protect you. ”

The Empress said. The person had already walked towards the door, and Han Jian was standing in the distance, not following it, not following it.

He simply watched the Empress walk out of the doorway. At this time, Han Song's family came back. looked at Han Jian who was standing in place. Said: "Jian'er, why don't you personally send His Majesty back?" ”

"His Majesty came out alone, and he was not allowed to send it away." Han Jian said helplessly.

Han Songshi sighed: "What is Your Majesty looking for you to discuss?" Could it be ...... For the Assassins? ”

Han Jian nodded. He said, "Your Majesty has limited me to arrest the assassin within three days." ”

"Your Majesty is also true, the last time the assassin assassinated you, it has been almost a year, and there is still no progress, Gu Taifu was assassinated, and the assassin will be arrested within three days, how easy is it to talk about? Jian'er, if you think it can't be done, Erniang will go and tell His Majesty Xià to leave this matter to the people in the imperial court. ”

Han Jian smiled and said, "Erniang, you are underestimating me." It is difficult to capture the Lord, but it is not difficult to capture a few Assassins, not to mention that he is not clueless. It's not early, Erniang went back to rest early, and Erniang didn't have to worry about the assassin's affairs, I could do it alone. ”

After speaking, Han Jian helped Han Song to the door of the main hall.

After seeing Han Song's family go to their respective courtyards, he helped Gu Xin'er, who was a little tired physically and mentally, and went back to rest together.

Han Jian thought very simply, since the empress insisted on arresting the assassin, it meant that things were not as simple as he thought. The empress suspected that it was Lin Ke who sent someone to do it, but in fact, the empress did not suspect Lin Ke alone, in the eyes of the empress, Lin Ke represented a group of people who were close to Yang Yu among the officials of the Luoyang faction in Jiangdu.

Although the empress wanted to pass the throne back to her two younger brothers, after being betrayed by Yang Yu, she still couldn't let go of the prejudices in her heart after all. In this case, what is the matter of believing in Buddhism and becoming a monk? Han Jian originally looked at the internal investigation very lightly, but after Gu Weipan's accident, he also had to start to rectify the officialdom in Jiangdu and pick out the "rebel ministers" hidden in it.

Gu Weipan's injury will mean that no one can suppress the officials of the Luoyang faction in Jiangdu anymore, even Lin Ke does not have the ability to do this, if you want to make these people honest and peaceful, it is necessary to have a political review first. As for the assassins, he was not worried, and it was more than enough time to catch a few rebels in three days and come back to make up the numbers.

……

……

Back in the room, Gu Xin'er was still a little sad, Han Jian helped her to the side of the bed and let her sit on the floor, but Wen'er was not seen at this time.

"I don't know where Wen'er wen's gone." Han Jian complained casually, he had just returned to his residence, and there were still many places where Wen'er needed to serve.

In the backyard of the East Palace, Wen'er is both a master and a servant. After Wen'er was admitted to Han Jian's room, Han Song's family also tried to find a personal girl for Han Jian, but Han Jian was not satisfied.

"Young master, I'm back."

As she spoke, Wen'er came back with a copper basin full of hot water, with a towel on her shoulder. The clogs clattered, and the hair was wet, apparently freshly washed.

"Go over and accompany you Sister Xin'er." Han Jian said.

"Young master, what are you...... Do you want to go? Wen'er looked at Han Jian with a reluctant expression. Because Han Jian shouldn't have stayed here this night, she didn't want Han Jian to go.

"Don't go." Han Jian said, picked up the towel on Wen'er's shoulder, and wanted to wipe his face, but Wen'er snatched Han Jian's towel back.

Han Jian looked at Wen'er with a smile on her face, and was a little puzzled what she was going to do.

"Young master, wait first, it's just that you are here, Wen'er will go back when she goes."

With that, Wen'er slipped out of the door. Han Jian really couldn't understand what she was doing.

After a while, the sound of clogs came back again, but I saw Wen'er pulling a delicate little girl back, and was dragging the little girl to the door at the door.

Han Jian thought it was strange, and lit the candle to see it clearly, only to realize that the person who came was Xiaohe brought back by Han Jian from Jiangnan.

At this time, Xiaohe, dressed in an ordinary maid outfit, still looks so smart, but she is more delicate than when I saw her before. Han Jian took a closer look, only to realize that her face was smeared with rouge, but it was hastily smeared, and the color was not uniform. The two blushes are like freshly ripe peaches, with a sarcastic greenness.

"Come in, the young master is inside." Wen'er said as she dragged Xiaohe into the door.

At this time, Xiaohe was obviously a little timid, standing at the door with one hand and being dragged by Wen'er, but the other hand was holding on to the door frame and did not dare to go in. There was also a look of fear on his face, as if he was about to be eaten.

"Wen'er, what are you doing?" Seeing this, Han Jian stepped forward.

"Young master." When Wen'er saw Han Jian, she immediately let go of her hand and saluted Han Jian.

At this time, Xiao He stood there, shrinking his little head, and the whole person was a little trembling.

"Xiaohe, why are you here?" Han Jian put the towel back on Wen'er's shoulder.

"I ...... I...... Slave ......"

As soon as Han Jian heard this title, he knew that Xiaohe was in the Dongwang Mansion, and he had also received some etiquette training, and he knew that he was called "slave maid".

Wen'er on the side pulled Han Jian's arm and said with a smile: "It was the princess of the county who asked her to come over, and the princess of the county said that there was no one caring around the young master, so she asked Xiaohe to come over, so that we also have a girl on our side." Hehe, you don't need Wen'er to do the matter of serving tea and water. There is also the matter of pinching the waist and beating the legs of the young master, and I will also leave it to her. ”

Han Jian nodded, he understood that this was Han Song's arrangement. But Han Song hadn't mentioned it to him at all before.

Originally, Xiaohe was very interested in him, thinking that if he followed him, he could live a good life. But since she came to Jiangdu, Xiaohe has lived a good life, but unlike what she thought, the Dongwang Mansion is so big that she can't imagine it, there are no relatives around her, and even the closest Han Jian can't see her, so she has to live with trepidation day by day, and she is afraid of being driven away.

"Xiaohe, if you don't want to, just go back and rest first." Han Jian said.

"No, no." Xiaohe was a little anxious, but under the nervousness, his speech was a little slurred, and he couldn't understand.

"Then come in, Wen'er's cot will sleep for you in the future."

Han Jian said, first go inside, Wen'er took Xiaohe's hand again, and followed Han Jian to the inside.

At this time, Gu Xin'er also got down from the bed and looked at Xiaohe, judging from her reaction to Xiaohe, Han Jian knew that Gu Xin'er was not the first time she had come into contact with Xiaohe. It should be that when he was not in the house during the day, Han Song had already brought Xiaohe over to say hello.

"Xin'er, you won't mind, will you?" Han Jian knew that Xin'er was worried about her father's affairs, and when Xiaohe entered this courtyard, it meant that she would be treated the same as Wen'er, and slowly change from a little maid to a little hostess who took care of the owner of this yard and did everything.

Gu Xin'er shook her head slightly and said, "The princess of the county has come to inform." ”

"Erniang, it doesn't matter what they say, the main thing is Xin'er, what you mean. If you don't think it's suitable, Xiaohe doesn't have to come. ”

Han Jian had never had a further relationship with Xiaohe before, mainly because he already had a family, and he originally wanted to arrange Xiaohe in which courtyard of the East Wangfu at the right time to be a partial concubine. Now that Han Song's arrangement is like this, it is equivalent to saying that letting Xiaohe enter Gu Xin'er's yard is actually of great benefit to Xiaohe's solid pet in the future. Han Jian also saved a lot of trouble.

"Husband, Xiaohe is very well-behaved, let her help in the future, Wen'er won't have to be so tired." Gu Xin'er said very considerately.

Han Jian hugged Gu Xin'er with relief, Gu Xin'er was as weak as water, and she had always been "submissive" to him, and Han Jian also felt that some things were unfair to Gu Xin'er. But Gu Xin'er didn't mind because of this.

"Xiaohe, the small bed over there, I'll sleep for you later. Wen'er, whether I'm here or not in the future, you can go to the big bed. ”

"Uh-huh." Wen'er nodded happily.

Because she was born as a maid, in order to let Gu Xin'er get more care from Han Jian, Han Song's also stipulated that Wen'er could not compete with Gu Xin'er for favor every time. But in reality, she was able to go to bed every time. Only when Han Songshi occasionally came over to "censor" would she flee back to the small bed and pretend. (To be continued......)
