Chapter 38: A dilemma

Today is the birthday of Lu Zhiyu, the second assistant of the dynasty, although he is the second assistant of the cabinet, but all the year round only Bai Qing is the head of the horse, low and small, and all the time he participates in politics depends on Bai Qing's face, which is an ornament of the cabinet.

But when Song Ze was in Guozijian, he also listened to his classes, and he personally pointed out the article, which can be regarded as a teacher of teaching.

Therefore, on the teacher's birthday today, he naturally wants to congratulate him.

Because he knew the emperor's intentions in advance, he responded properly that day, and the emperor was very satisfied. Tonight, he carried out the art of helping the chaos, and the matter of harmony was decided, and the emperor appointed the Ministry of Rites to be fully responsible for the affairs of harmony, and Song Ze was in the limelight for a while.

At the banquet, between the cups and the lamps, the sound of congratulations and compliments came and went, and he also drank a lot.

The slit came out to breathe, and I met Lu Zhiyu. The two of them, one old and one young, stood by the railing.

"Lord Song."

Song Ze bowed and saluted: "Don't dare, teacher." ”

Lu Zhiyu supported the railing with both hands: "Time flies so fast, and the teacher is old." When you were in Guozijian in the first year, you were still a stunned young man, but now you are a popular Sanpin Song adult. ”

Song Ze hurriedly said: "The students are panicking, teacher, you are in the prime of spring and autumn." ”

Lu Zhiyu turned to look at him, his expression was meaningful, and he patted him on the shoulder: "The emperor is also old." With that, he walked back to the private room.

Song Ze is independent in the wind, and it is difficult to calm his heart:

This is what I have to do to establish the prince in the book.

If you advance, you will be furious, and if you retreat, you will be forced by other officials to plot.

Lu Zhiyu's remarks are both hints and reminders.

He is now popular, if he plays hard, he may be able to save his life if he touches the emperor's scales. If this has to be done, this is indeed the best time to do it.

However, his past efforts were in vain.

Since stepping into the court, he has been mentally prepared, but now he is inevitably embarrassed.

Slowly pacing up the corridor, there was a little depression in his chest. Suddenly, there was another person in front of him, and when he looked up, he saw Jiang Li dressed as a maiko.

Jiang Li stumbled and threw himself at Song Ze: "Lord Song save me." ”

Song Ze hurriedly stretched out his hand to support her, and also separated the distance from her.

Jiang Li's face was terrified, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes: "Lord Song, someone wants to kill me." ”

"What!"

"On the way back to Daye Temple, someone targeted my carriage and wanted to kill me! I pretended to be a Maiko and got out. ”

Jiang Li wept as she spoke, clutching Song Ze's shirt tightly, like a frightened bird.

Song Ze looked down at the frightened woman in front of him, and asked slowly, "Do you know who it is?" ”

Jiang Li shook his head: "Lord Song, you must save me." The little woman is now helpless, and her sister is still seriously injured and lying in Daye Temple. As he spoke, he sobbed out of breath.

Jian Mei locked deeply: "Your sister is still injured?" ”

"It's not the first time they've come to kill us, ten days ago, he killed my brother-in-law's great-grandmother's family of seventeen, all thanks to my sister's presence, desperately saving me."

Song Ze was shocked: "Such a tragic case, the Criminal Department and Jinyiwei have no explanation?" ”

Jiang Li couldn't cry: "It is said that it is a thief, but Lord Song, you believe me, I am not a thief, I am really not a thief." As he spoke, he was so grief-stricken that he fainted.

Song Ze hurriedly grabbed her back, and Jiang Li leaned in.

"Wait, I'll send you back to Daye Temple." As he spoke, he helped her to the railing and leaned against her, and quickly called a little maid to come and see her, and turned around and walked towards the private room.

After a while, Song Ze came back: "Come with me." ”

Jiang Li wiped her tears and nodded, and when she stepped to keep up, her feet were weak and she almost fell.

Lord Song's eyes were quick, and he hurriedly held on: "But you're injured?" ”

Jiang Li gently pulled up the hem of her skirt, and her white ankle was red and swollen: "I accidentally sprained it when I was escaping." ”

Ni Xiaoye is a ruthless person, he really twisted his foot just now, and wiped the rouge while Song Ze was away.

Song Ze sighed: "Then you should be careful." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to hold her arm steady, but Jiang Li unsteadily held his arm and limped out.

After getting into the carriage, the two sat facing each other.

Song Ze pondered for a moment: "It's late at night now, and the outside of the city is deserted, so it's dangerous to go to Daye Temple." ”

Jiang Li nodded: "There are a lot of people in black, and they are strong in martial arts with swords. ”

"Miss Jiang, can you go to Song's house for one night, and I will arrange someone to send you back early tomorrow morning."

Jiang Li lowered his head and his eyes lit up: "Then thank you Lord Song." ”
