Chapter 62: Portrait

This sentence made Chu Huai's blood rush to the top of his head, he swallowed his saliva, and his whole body was hot: "I also want the lady to give me some advice." ”

Xiao Wanyan took off Chu Huairan's coat suddenly, without the slightest pity, and then got off him, and Chu Huairan, who got up/got out of bed to watch, was stunned, he paused: "What are you doing?" ”

Xiao Wanyan hung the clothes on the screen, and then took out a piece of clothing from the wardrobe and threw it into Chu Huairan's hand: "Can't you see it?" Are you getting wet and don't change into them? ”

This is a matter of course, Chu Huairan couldn't figure out the mistake in it, he gritted his teeth and smiled, and the words forced out from between his teeth: "Just said so much just to change my clothes?" ”

Xiao Wanyan opened her innocent eyes and nodded thoughtlessly: "Yes, you should be sick when you wear wet clothes, so naturally you have to change them, otherwise what do you think?" ”

Chu Huairan didn't touch the dress, but walked to Xiao Wanyan's side, grabbed her hand, and pushed her against the corner: "I want to run away after picking up the fire, have you asked me what I mean?" ”

Xiao Wanyan felt the anger on her face, and she smiled and haha: "It's still bright today." ”

Chu Huairan continued to get closer, and said softly: "It's going to be dark soon." ”

The ambiguous posture made Xiao Wanyan's old face red, she kept shirking, and couldn't resist Chu Huairan's attack becoming more and more fierce, just after Chu Huairan drenched on her lips, Han Yi's voice suddenly came from outside the door, saving her.

"Xiangye, Grandpa Xu is here."

Xiao Wanyan immediately pushed Chu Huairan away, put on a look of being drenched in cold water, and pretended to be dissatisfied: "My husband is busy with affairs, don't let people wait in a hurry." ”

Chu Huairan was naturally dissatisfied with Han Yi, he looked at Xiao Wanyan's angry appearance, and his heart was also upset, he pushed open the door and glanced at Han Yi: "Where are the people?" ”

Han Yi sensed Chu Huairan's displeasure, judging from his usual experience, he had to serve carefully, he lowered his voice, lowered his head, and said respectfully: "Wait in the main hall." ”

Chu Huai had a black face and walked towards the main hall, if there was nothing important, he must let Gonggong Xu feel his hospitality.

In the main hall, Xu Gong took a sip of the teacup, frowned, looked at the tea residues floating in the tea, put it down in disgust, didn't say anything, and glanced at the door lightly, and said in a thin voice: "Why did the prime minister come?" If the emperor is in a hurry, our family will not be able to deal with each other. ”

The little guy on the side still had a plain face, and he didn't take Father-in-law Xu as the same thing at all: "It's unfortunate that my father-in-law came, Xiangye is in the backyard, and he is busy with affairs, so he should arrive in a while." ”

Gonggong Xu is also a celebrity in front of the emperor in the palace, how many years he has followed the emperor, and he can be regarded as a respected old man in the palace, no one in the harem dares to show him a face, even if the harem concubines have to be polite to him, this time he received such treatment in the Prime Minister's Mansion, Gonggong Xu held back the fire in his heart, and snorted his nose: "The Prime Minister still loves Mrs., and he refuses to leave half a step in the daytime, which really makes our parents look at it." ”

Before the words fell, Chu Huairan walked in from outside the door, his face was not good, coupled with what he heard just now, he couldn't help but embarrass Gonggong Xu: "Who should I be talking so strangely, I thought that a woman wanted to make trouble again, it turned out to be Gonggong Xu, scared me." ”

Chu Huairan's face was gloomy when he said this, but because of the emperor's thoughts, he couldn't refute it, and because the prime minister was indeed cruel, he didn't care, although he couldn't swallow the breath in his heart, he also muttered: "Look at what the prime minister said, those who don't know still think that you are afraid of guilt, and this kind of words can damage your majesty." ”

When the court is afraid of the inside, this kind of thing is a big insult to anyone, not to mention that Chu Huairan is notoriously ruthless, which really makes outsiders see the joke, but Chu Huairan doesn't care, he raised his eyelids, and chuckled: "Father-in-law Xu's words are not right, my wife is docile like a little cat, if I say that I am afraid of the inside, it will insult her reputation, this can not be said nonsense, otherwise my wife will be angry, if she is angry, I will be unhappy, if I am unhappy, I will find some living creature to chop my wife happy." ”

Gonggong Xu noticed a hint of threat, coupled with a hint of viciousness in Chu Huairan's gaze looking at him, he paused on his face, and then showed a stiff smile to ease the atmosphere: "I didn't expect Xiangye to be so infatuated with Mrs. Side, if Mrs. Side knew, she would naturally be pleased, but after all, there are two ladies in Xiangye's mansion, if you can't level the bowl of water, I'm afraid the emperor will be unhappy." ”

The Prime Minister's Mansion was troubled by Qi Xiaoran, and Qi Jiuchen came to ask for justice, and it didn't take long for the matter to spread to the palace, if the Prime Minister's Mansion has no eyeliner, unless Chu Huairan is a fool.

He smiled, didn't answer, sat down in front of the seat, sat down, drank two sips of tea, frowned, and couldn't help scolding: "Who prepared this tea, you don't even drink it, how can it be used to entertain Grandpa Xu, you don't want it?" ”

Gonggong Xu also paused with the hand that held the teacup, and slowly put it down, his face was unhappy, but it was not all revealed, just waiting for Chu Huairan's words.

A guard next to him strode forward, neither humble nor arrogant: "Back to Xiangye, the silver in the house is taken care of by Mrs., but for some reason, the silver two can't get in and out recently, so the use of the house has been reduced, and even the tea has bought middle and low-grade tea residues." ”

Chu Huairan didn't intend to get angry, he nodded clearly, and looked at Gonggong Xu again: "Let Gonggong Xu smile, forget that the princess is used to being pampered, she probably can't do these troublesome things, after all, she is the emperor's favored royal sister, and I do have to have a bowl of water." ”

Then he instructed Han Yi and said: "Go, hand over the account books, keys and contracts in the mansion to Mrs. Fang, and nothing in the mansion can be done in the future, the eldest lady can't be tired, understand?" ”

Han Yi immediately understood: "The subordinates understand, and the subordinates will do it." ”

Looking at the back of Han Yi leaving, Gonggong Xu trembled angrily, and he gritted his teeth and looked at Chu Huairan: "Prime Minister, as the saying goes, concubines don't oppress their wives, and old slaves say something that shouldn't be said, aren't you afraid that someone with a heart will say it and slander you?" ”

This eunuch is very unpleasant, since he has said this, he doesn't need to save face for Gonggong Xu, and said directly: "Gonggong Xu, the emperor said that the two ladies were equal, why is it that they have become concubines now, could it be that the princess married and hung the identity of a concubine?" ”

Gonggong Xu couldn't hold it on his face, and said in an unkind tone: "Prime Minister, don't talk nonsense, how can the princess marry a concubine." ”

All the statements were biased towards Qi Xiaoran, how could Chu Huairan agree, he immediately said: "Since this is the case, then my Prime Minister's Mansion has no wives and concubines, and Father-in-law Xu thinks that someone dares to spread the rumor of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" Could it be that he has been idle for too long? ”

Gonggong Xu couldn't say anything about her, so he simply conveyed all the emperor's words, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Chu Huairan: "Gonggong Xu, you won't come this time to investigate the affairs in the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion, right?" I didn't know that Grandpa Xu was so interested in my wife. ”

Gonggong Xu's face was dark and uncertain, he had never seen Chu Huairan so difficult before, but he didn't expect that after marrying that woman, he didn't know what to do, he pondered for a while, his face was no different, and even showed a smile: "Look at what the prime minister said, the old slave is also for your sake, in fact, the old slave came this time to convey the emperor's will." ”

After hearing this, Chu Huairan said indifferently: "Father-in-law, please speak." ”

Gonggong Xu took out a secret edict in his hand and put it on Chu Huairan's hand: "Prime Minister, the palace has not been peaceful recently, and the emperor suspects that there have been gangsters who have infiltrated the palace, so please bring troops into the palace in five days to encircle and suppress." ”

Chu Huairan glanced at the secret edict, sure enough, it was Qi Jiulu's handwriting, sure enough, his coma this time was a bureau set up for the rebels, Chu Huairan put away the secret edict, and said lightly: "The minister obeys the order." ”

Qi Jiulu was far-sighted, I was afraid that every move of the rebel was all carried out under his nose, thinking of the poison found in the post house, and the person who made the biggest move in the court, he could roughly guess who this person was.

It seems that this time, the fisherman caught a big fish floating on the surface and began to plan to close the net.

Five days later, the emperor calculated so accurately, Chu Huairan also felt shocked, he still had no way to penetrate his eyeliner everywhere, Qi Jiulu had already gotten the news.

He needs to discuss the next step with Wei Chiyan.

Naturally, Xiao Wanyan can't be idle, although Qi Xiaoran is a woman who doesn't have any brains, but no matter how much she tosses, it is inevitable that Qi Jiuchen will not notice anything, and he is still stunned, he definitely doesn't really give advice for Qi Xiaoran.

On the second day, in the morning, while Chu Huairan went out, Xiao Wanyan and Qu Xiaoran avoided those protective guards and secretly came to Baihuafang.

Sitting in the house, Yu Jin came late, he looked panicked, and as soon as he came in, he quickly closed the doors and windows, and bowed to Xiao Wanyan: "Meet the empress." ”

Xiao Wanyan helped her up, noticed her abnormality, and couldn't help asking, "Yu Jin, what's wrong?" ”

The trained Liang guards can maintain a calm and calm attitude at any time, although Yu Jin has been in Da Zhou for many years, but if there is no major event, she will not show this expression.

Sure enough, Lu Jin took out a portrait from his arms, on which was painted a handsome man, but he was too young, and Xiao Wanyan could know at a glance that he might not know how many women he would harm when he grew up.

She looked at it carefully, and then looked at the brocade suspiciously: "This portrait is the reason for your panic?" ”

Lian Jin nodded, and said, "Empress, do you think this person is familiar?" ”

Saying this, Xiao Wanyan really felt that this kid seemed to have seen it somewhere, but she didn't expect it no matter how she thought about it: "It's really familiar, but I don't seem to know him, he's from Daliang?" ”

Jin Jin pointed to the slightly exposed red/red on the man's neck and asked, "Empress, can you find this on Chu Huairan's neck?" ”

Xiao Wanyan glanced at the red birthmark, thought carefully, and then opened her eyes in shock after being puzzled: "You said this child is Chu Huairan?" ”
