Xue Guifei was even more shocked than Luo Fu when she heard the news that Shang Gong was dead: "Dead? How did he die? ”

Sun Ting's envoy was ashamed and said, "Fang Cai...... General Xue went to the court ......"

Xue Rang? Then it is not difficult to understand, Xue Rang must have gone to the court for Xue Guifei, as soon as he went to the court, he died, it could not be a coincidence.

Luo Fu hurriedly asked, "How did people die?" ”

"No need to ask, I killed the man!" Xue Rang's voice came in from outside the hall, and the little eunuch who was about to pass it on couldn't stop him, so he had to come in with him, knelt on the ground, and confessed his mistake.

Xue Rang came in and only saluted the emperor, and didn't take Luo Fu in his eyes at all, and when he talked about Shanggong's death, he was filled with righteous indignation: "As soon as the minister entered the palace today, he heard that the court had caught an assassin accomplice, so he thought about going over to take a look, who knew that when he entered the court and saw someone, she actually struggled to pounce on me. ”

Yan also glanced at Sun Ting's envoy: "Yes, Lord Sun?" ”

Sun Tingrang bowed his head and remained silent. Luo Fu said suspiciously: "I heard? I wonder where the general heard about it? I'm just speculating based on clues, and I came to show my doubts in front of my father, and the general heard about it as soon as he entered the palace, I want to know who is so well-informed and so fast? ”

She looked at Xue Guifei, Xue Guifei rolled her eyes at her, snorted and stood behind the emperor, anyway, there is no proof of death now, no matter what she says, she can't make any waves.

Xue Rangpo had the intention of being pampered and arrogant, and in the face of Luo Fu's question, he shook his head and said that he didn't know: "There are many people up and down in the palace, and the minister has forgotten who he heard it from, Your Majesty, the minister came to ask for guilt, killed the assassin's party, and broke a clue, the minister is guilty!" ”

Xue Rangcai came back from the rebellion and was named a general, took off Hao Yong's head, and gave the emperor a long face in front of outsiders, and gave Wei Guo prestige, because how many people were frightened by a Xue Rang, even if Xue Rang did it on purpose, the emperor could not do anything to him.

Luo Fu secretly hated himself for being careless and underestimating the enemy, looking at Xue Rang's provocative gaze, but he could only endure helplessly, if the emperor punished Xue Rang at this time would be tantamount to lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot, maybe he would be bitten by Xue Guifei, she was not so stupid.

The emperor also said: "Aiqing's original intention was to catch the assassin as soon as possible, I know in my heart that Aiqing doesn't have to blame herself, people die if they die, and they should have been executed." ”

Xue Guifei relied on her brother's support, as if she didn't remember what she had just been reprimanded by the emperor, and it was just a matter of Xue Rang's words from loss to pride.

Luo Fu understands that there will definitely not be a good ending at this time, and it is not something that can be done overnight if he wants to bring down Xue Rang, the wicked have their own wicked grinding, and there is a Li Bu, the play has just come on, and he is not in a hurry.

She changed to another expression in an instant, and smiled at Xue Rang with a smile: "The general did the right thing, who would dare to say half a word about yours for the general's father's worries?" ”

Luo Fu took the initiative to talk to Xue Rang, but instead he took Qiao up, pretending not to hear, not replying, and not leaving her any affection.

It doesn't matter, what is this little grievance, sooner or later it will have to be liquidated little by little.

Not to mention anything else, the medicine Li Bu gave her was very effective, and Luo Shi had only been able to move her injured shoulder in a small range in just a few days.

Su Wan was very happy, and as soon as she was happy, she couldn't help but praise him in front of Luo Fu: "This Li Bu doesn't say anything else, but you are really good to Your Highness, but...... The slave didn't understand, why did he do this? Could it be...... Like you? ”

Luo Shi lazily opened his eyes with his back facing up.

Like? If you really like it, you won't hesitate to ruin everything for her? He has risen from a nobody all the way to the point of being a supreme minister, all on his own, but when his power reaches the peak, what means can he use to prove his status?

That is the imperial power that is always above him.

And she is the rock that has only one left to hold the imperial power and press directly on his head, and all he has to do is hold her firmly in his hands, so that for him there is a kind of satisfaction of playing with the imperial power and overriding all the world.

This can better reflect his ability than directly seeking power and usurping the throne and becoming the emperor himself.

Luo Shi didn't think he liked himself, he just enjoyed the process, he knew his purpose very well, but he was just arranging his troops from now on, and she was just a chess piece in his hand.

What is a like......

It should be like Jiang Shan, simple and pure, and consistent.

Speaking of Jiang Shan......

"Why haven't you seen the Son of the World come over these two days? Didn't my father say that he would stay with King Zhennan for a few more days? They should still be in the capital. ”

Su Wan covered her mouth and snickered: "Your Highness, so soon, you haven't seen the prince for a day?" ”

Luo Fu sat up with one shoulder, looked out of the hall in a daze, fanned with one hand, and shook his collar impatiently: "It's really getting hotter and hotter this day, have you gone to Ruichun Palace to see?" Did the ice from the Ministry of Internal Affairs be delivered on time? ”

Su Wan said: "Don't worry, no one dares to treat Niangniang harshly now, but Your Highness, you have sent your share of ice to Ruichun Palace, what should you do yourself?" ”

It's really hot on this day and can't keep up the spirits, but the night is fine, especially at noon, when she lies down and is sweating, she almost puts aside the princess image and rolls up her sleeves and bare shoulders.

"The mother concubine is afraid of the heat, let's use it tightly for the mother concubine first, I can still bear it."

"By the way, Your Highness...... Su Wan hurriedly said: "Recently, a foreign country has paid tribute to the pearl peach, which is big and red, didn't the emperor reward you with a pearl peach tree the day before yesterday?" Slave and maid to pick a few for you to cool off? ”

Luo Fu suddenly had a spirit: "Then you go quickly, hey...... Don't be busy, help me ask where the prince is, and if you have time, invite the prince to eat together. ”

Su Wan answered, Luo Fu lay back on the couch, his heart was calm and naturally cool, and he slept again.

In the summer, ice is definitely a rare thing, in addition to the emperor, the concubines and the imperial palace maids in the palace have a share, and they are not allowed to use it if they exceed the share, but Xue Guifei doesn't have to worry about this, because Xue Rang will send people into the palace from time to time to send her ice, so her life is very moist.

On this day, Xue Rang went into the palace to visit Xue Guifei, and asked someone to pull a cart full of ice into Jingde Palace, in order to prevent the ice from melting on the road, four or five quilts were specially added to it, and the ice cubes were sent to Jingde Palace, but they did not melt at all.

Xue Guifei asked people to chill the honeydew melon for Xue Rang, and asked someone to shaved ice to make ice porridge and serve it to eat, Xue Rang walked back and forth in the hall with his nephew in his arms, and suddenly remembered something and asked: "I remember that before I left, the fifth princess was not like this, cowardly like a little chicken, soft persimmons are generally at the mercy of others, when did it become like this?" is aggressive, and even dares to go against you, as if he has changed from before. ”

Xue Guifei mentioned Luo Fu is scolding: "I don't know very well, it seems that she suddenly changed her temperament, obstructing my eyes everywhere, I also feel that she seems to have changed as a person, or the thief in Ruichun Palace is immortal, knowing that he can't compete for favor, so he handed over all the means to her daughter, let her daughter compete for favor!" ”

This matter is clear to the bystanders, and Xue Rang affirmed that it will not be Concubine An: "She has never competed with you for favor, and she knows that she can't compete with you, she hasn't had that mind for so many years, how can she suddenly want to fight?" Besides, even if she wants to regain her favor, she should use her son instead of a daughter who is no longer new to His Majesty. ”

Xue Guifei thought about it for a long time, her head hurt, and she couldn't think of a suitable reason to explain Luo Fu's sudden change of sex, and finally said simply: "Anyway, it can't be a ghost, right?" ”

Xue Rang looked at Xue Guifei helplessly and dotingly, ghostly? Don't say it's a ghost, even if it's a fairy, don't think about turning over in the palm of his hand.

"There is one more thing I don't understand, why did my brother recommend Li Bu in front of His Majesty?" This question has been bothering Xue Guifei for many days: "Li Bu is Luo Xu's person, these two people have hooked up before Li Bu entered the palace as the commander of the guards, and my brother is not afraid that Li Bu will turn back to help Luo Xu at a critical moment?" ”

Xue Rang said confidently: "My spy in Beijing said that Luo Zhen tried his best to put Li Bu in a high position, but after working hard for so long, there was no result, Li Bu is a very smart person, he should know very well who is the one who can really help him, and I have also tried his bottom, his skills are good, if he can go to the army, with his ability, it is only a matter of opportunity to make contributions." ”

Xue Guifei was surprised: "Brother really plans to reuse him?" ”

Xue Rang said: "Do you know what is the most important thing about being an official in the court, especially as a military general?" It is the master of heavy military merit, Your Majesty is now obedient to me, it seems to be favored, but it is bound to not go far, once there is no one in the court who can restrain me, then Your Majesty should try to get rid of me. ”

Xue Guifei shook her head: "No, Your Majesty trusts you so much, how can it be?" ”

In this regard, Xue Guifei is not as clear as Xue Rang, and there are many lessons from the past, which is also a problem that he must consider in the future.

"I recommend Li Bu to Your Majesty is also to leave a way back for myself, and keep Li Bu firmly in my own hands, so that even if Your Majesty is jealous of me in the future and wants to attack, at least the forces in my hands will not be scattered, the counterinsurgency has already damaged a few of my generals, there are very few people around me who can use it now, and there are even fewer like Li Bu, if I can really make Li Bu use it for me, of course it would be better."

But Xue Guifei was still a little worried: "But how can you guarantee that Li Bu is loyal to you?" What if he betrays you when he becomes powerful? ”
