The concubines of Linchuan Wangfu are like clouds, now at this time, Xiao Ying is also indulging in lust, looking for fun, the young girl who is more than a year old has a big cheek a few days ago, the high fever does not go away, and she is almost about to enter the ghost gate, Princess Linchuan has no day and night to take care of, and she is also sick, but Xiao Ying sings every night, drunk and dreams to death, and ignores his wife and daughter.

Zhu Lian, the chief bookkeeper of the palace, hurriedly ran in from outside the mansion, and found Xiao Ying's place without even knocking on the door, so he pushed the door and broke in.

As soon as they saw Zhu Jian break in, the two concubines were suddenly frightened, and immediately grabbed the clothes thrown between the two in a panic, but there was only one piece, and no one could compete with anyone, so they simply turned around and turned their backs together, and each dragged one side to cover their bodies.

At that time, Zhu Jian was also so frightened that he was sweating, and he hurriedly turned around and didn't dare to look at it again.

Xiao Ying also sat up straight, tugged at the placket of his clothes, and scolded: "Are you impatient!" ”

"Rude and rude, Your Highness forgives you," Zhu Jian bent down slightly, nodding his head and admitting his mistake.

Xiao Ying turned his head to look at his two concubines, but at this time, he showed a playful smile, he turned to Zhu Lian, and said: "That's it, it's just two broken shoes, it's okay to give them to you, let's say, what's the matter in a panic?" ”

Zhu Jian glanced left and right, originally hinting to Xiao Ying that it was inconvenient here, and he should retreat left and right, but who knew that Xiao Ying saw it, but thought that he was just hindered by the two concubines being here, and he didn't dare to turn around, so he reprimanded: "Turn around!" ”

"This ......" Zhu Lian felt helpless, so he had to turn around, but he also lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly at Xiao Ying, Xiao Ying saw him so submissive, and smiled playfully, and said: "Raise your head, this king allows you to see, since it is a stunner, you should appreciate it with your subjects." ”

After he said that, he pulled the two concubines hiding behind him to his side, hugged him left and right, looked at Zhu Lian's cowardice, and mocked him wantonly.

Zhu Jian felt that Xiao Ying was too ridiculous, and he was angry in his heart, but he didn't dare to be angry, so he simply didn't care about what he shouldn't say in front of people: "Your Highness, Duzhi Shangshu has been checked by the Imperial Historical Observatory. ”

Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Xiao Ying was stunned and said in surprise: "What did you say?" ”

"Duzhishangshu has been checked by the Imperial Historical Observatory," Zhu Jian lowered his head and repeated coldly.

"Stand down," Xiao Ying sweated on his forehead, and was very irritable in his heart, and while speaking, he suddenly swept his sleeves, pushed all the wine, melons and fruits on the table in front of him to the ground, and then shouted like crazy: "Retreat to this king!" Get lost! Get out! ”

The dancer in the house was originally walking outside, and now he hurriedly ran around.

When everyone retreated, there were only two people, Xiao Ying and Zhu Lian, Xiao Ying asked: "How could he be found by Yushitai?" How could he be found by the Imperial Historical Observatory! ”

"It was the servant Shi Huan who entered the palace to report to His Majesty, saying that he had received a petition from the people."

"Serving the Imperial Shi Huanrang?" Xiao Ying's face was full of anger, and there was fierceness in his eyes, he looked at Zhu Jian and asked, "The younger brother of the Marquis of Yongxiu County, is it a ghost made by Xie Zheng?" ”

Zhu Jian shook his head and said, "It's King Wuling's person." ”

"Old five? It's actually the fifth! Xiao Ying said this, as if she remembered something, and said: "No wonder Luo Shuyi asked her father to ask her mother to take them to Daming Temple, it turned out that she was trying to separate her mother concubine so that she could deal with this king!" ”

Zhu Jian was silent, the more Xiao Ying thought about it, the more angry she became, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Yes! It has to be them! It has to be them! With that, he suddenly overturned the desk in front of him and stood up abruptly.

Xiao Ying stared at the door with both eyes, thought about it, and was about to walk outside, Zhu Jian watched him walk out and asked, "Where is Your Highness going?" ”

"This king is going to settle accounts with the fifth child!" Xiao Ying's pace was fast, and when Zhu Jian heard this, he rushed out to stop in front of him and said, "Your Highness! I can't go! ”

"When he dealt with Lu Huilin, he was going against this king, and this king couldn't go to him to settle accounts?" Xiao Ying is really simple-minded, at this time, he actually thought about going to Xiao Ye to settle accounts, what he should be worried about is whether he will be implicated.

Zhu Jian can be regarded as a little clever, he said: "Your Highness also knows that King Wuling's original intention was to deal with Your Highness, if you go to find him this time, isn't that right in the middle?" What's more, now it is Duzhi Shangshu who is being questioned, but His Highness ran over, wouldn't it be so that they could find out that His Royal Highness also has a share in Duzhi Shangshu's corruption of taxes! ”

When Xiao Ying heard this, she was a little quieter and asked, "Then you say ...... What should the king do now? Lu Huilin's matter was ordered by this king. ”

"At present, it is natural to respond to all changes with the same, Your Highness needs to know, King Wuling's side, can wait to catch your handle."

Now that her eyebrows are burning, Xiao Ying naturally can't calm down, and when she thinks of being designed by Luo Shuyi and Xiao Ye's mother and son, she is angry, standing under the corridor, clenching her fists, slamming on the door next to her, gasping and asking, "How is Lu Huilin now?" ”

"It has been taken to Tingwei Prison, and His Majesty also instructed Zheng Tingwei to interrogate him well."

"Zheng Hui has always liked to torture to extract confessions, but he is from Lao Wu's side, Lu Huilin fell into his hands, how could he let it go easily?" Xiao Ying said this, he was terrified again, he looked at Zhu Jian sideways, and said very uneasily: "What if he confesses this king?" This matter must not be known to the father, otherwise, this king will not be able to stay in Jiankang! ”

Zhu Jian was stunned, yes, if this matter is known to His Majesty, the King of Linchuan will be demoted to a fief! Kedu Zhishangshu was imprisoned, Zheng Tingwei is the person of the opposite family, it is difficult to guarantee that the king of Linchuan can still get out of this time, if the king of Linchuan is demoted to a fief, then what about him, the head of the palace? Where should he go, should he also leave Jiankang? He is bent on entering Shangshu Province!

The elder brother had reminded him that the king of Linchuan was a dou who could not be supported, even though Xie Guifei had worked hard for many years and attracted the support of the Yingchuan Yu clan and the Wujun Lu clan, the king of Linchuan still could not become a climate. He didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that he regretted not being at the beginning, just imagine the great Sima Xie Yu back then, but Xie Guifei's niece, why did she support the prince and not her cousin, is it really just because the prince is the eldest son? Thinking about it, she also expected that her cousin was a waste at all!

Thinking of this, Zhu Jian couldn't help but move the idea of handing over the resignation submission, and couldn't help but take a step back, Xiao Ying didn't notice it, but instead pulled his sleeve and said in horror: "Yuxian, Yuxian, you quickly send someone to Tingwei Prison to kill Lu Huilin for this king, only the dead can keep their mouths shut!" ”

"Your Highness," Zhu Lian withdrew his hand quietly, and only said: "Your Highness, what kind of place is Tingwei Prison, it's not Jingzhaoyin Prison, not even a fly can fly in, let alone a person, not to mention that Zheng Tingwei is staring, let's do it rashly, wouldn't we throw ourselves into the net?" ”

It's not that he has no way to kill Lu Huilin, he just doesn't want to follow Xiao Ying anymore, and he wants Xiao Ying to promise him that as long as there is a gap in Shangshu Province, he will get him in, but in fact? Last month, Shangshu Province's left servant Gu Xun was demoted to Pengcheng County as a taishou, isn't there a gap in Shangshu Province? Although there are the following right servants and left and right servants who are promoted one by one, but in the end, there is still a Shangshu right Cheng, and he has also mentioned this matter to Xiao Ying many times, but he did not see Xiao Ying arrange it for him, but let the prince's people take advantage of the loophole.

"It would be nice if the mother concubine was here, but I hate that they actually took the mother concubine away!" Xiao Ying calmed down a little, suddenly walked down the corridor again, strode towards the courtyard gate, and only said: "This king goes to find Yu Taifu, you go to Jingzhao Yin Luji." ”

"Yes."

Zhu Jian watched Xiao Ying leave, but he had other plans in his heart.

When it was about the time of the unitary, it was already evening, Xie Zheng had dinner, but did not go back to Yazhuyuan, but sat in the front yard guest hall, did not speak, only drank tea quietly, as if waiting for someone.

Yuzhi also knelt behind her, and after waiting for about a stick of incense, Yuzhi finally couldn't help but ask: "Lady...... Don't you go back to Yazhuyuan? ”

"No hurry, I'm waiting for someone."

"Waiting for whom?"

Xie Zheng looked sideways at the door of the mansion, and just saw Xiao Zhen and Yin Luo walking up the steps at the entrance of the mansion one after the other, and the two gatekeepers at the door were saluting him, Xie Zheng smiled and said, "He's here." ”

When Yuzhi heard this, he also looked sideways at the door of the mansion, and saw Xiao Zhen approaching quickly with Yin Luo, and said in his heart: "No wonder the lady told us that we don't have to go out to find out the news of Lu Huilin, it turns out that the prince has come to inform." ”

Xiao Zhen and the others had already walked into the guest hall and called out with great interest: "Thank you." ”

Xie Zheng didn't stand up and salute, but only nodded at Xiao Zhen, and then said, "Deyin has been waiting for His Highness here for a long time. ”

Xiao Zhen was slightly stunned, and said in surprise: "It seems that you have heard about Lu Huilin?" As he spoke, he walked over to the guest seat across from Xie Zheng and sat down cross-legged.

"Not to mention, in fact, everything is under Deyin's control, but... Outsiders don't know," Xie Zheng picked up the teacup in front of him and took a sip.

When Xiao Zhen heard this, he was stunned for a moment at first, but then thought about it for a while, and then reacted and said in surprise: "It turned out to be you?" ”

Xie Zheng smiled and said: "Since everyone outside thinks it is King Wuling, His Royal Highness naturally doesn't need to ask, after all, the person who serves Yushi in Yushitai is King Wuling, and Luo Shuyi is also the mother of King Wuling, it is reasonable for Concubine Xie to calculate this account on King Wuling in the future." ”

"And Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince," Xie Zheng said this, bending the corners of his lips again, his face full of spirit, and said, "Just laugh and watch the two tigers fight." ”

"They are two tigers, what about Lone, what is Lone?" Xiao Zhen heard what Xie Zheng said, and he was also refreshed.

Xie Zhengwan'er: "Since His Royal Highness is the prince, he is naturally a real dragon." ”

After Xiao Zhen laughed, he asked, "Lone has a question, how did you ask Luo Shuyi to get Concubine Xie to go to Southern Yanzhou?" ”

"This matter is a long story, Your Highness just needs to look at the results, as for these processes, you have your own virtue to go, Your Highness doesn't need to ask."

Xiao Zhen was originally smiling happily, but suddenly he was silent for a while, and then said inexplicably: "Xie Niangzi gives me advice, and I like to arrange everything properly in advance, so that I have no worries, and let me ...... I have to rely on you, so sometimes I wonder if I can rely on you for the rest of my life......"

When Xie Zheng heard this, he didn't seem to think much about it, but just smiled and said: "Good birds choose trees to perch, good ministers choose the lord and do things, His Royal Highness is known to be virtuous, and he has the talent of an emperor, since Deyin has followed His Highness, it is naturally a lifelong thing, unless His Highness is no longer virtuous in the future, but is absurd, Deyin, he does not dare to help the abuse." ”

It seems that Xie Niangzi didn't hear the meaning of his words, Xiao Zhen squeezed out a smile stiffly, suddenly raised his glass, and said: "Okay, Lone remembers your words, Lone replaces wine with tea, and toasts you." ”

Xie Zheng also raised his glass and said: "That Deyin, also take tea as a promise, as long as His Royal Highness is virtuous, Deyin will definitely assist the first generation, make this oath today, it is not against death!" ”

"Alone is the first to do it."

The two drank the tea in the cup one after another, and after a while, the sky darkened, and Xiao Zheng also took Yin Luo to say goodbye to Xie Zheng, and Xie Zheng got up to see each other, stood under the corridor outside the guest hall, and watched Xiao Zhen and the two leave.

Yuzhi stood on the side behind Xie Zheng and said, "The 'lifetime' in the prince's mouth doesn't seem to be quite the same as the lady's mouth. ”

"I know...... I grew up with him when I was young, and I had him in my heart, he was still Xuanyuan, but I am no longer Yanghou. ”

Xie Zheng's words were very calm, but she seemed a little indifferent, she turned sideways to the east, passed through the side hall, passed through the east ear room, walked through the weeping flower gate, and walked towards Yazhuyuan without saying a word, and Yuzhi also followed.

It was late, Huan let the next day for half a day, except for staying in the Shiqian Palace for an hour, the rest was still spent in the Imperial History Tower, and the time was dismissed, and after leaving the imperial city, he was not in a hurry to go back to the house for dinner, but went straight to the Wuling Palace.

And Xiao Ye heard that Zhihuan had come to the holy car to report Lu Huilin, and he also expected that he would definitely come to the palace to find him after he dismissed his post, so he also sat in the study and waited.

Not long after, the porter brought Huan Rang, and as soon as the person walked into the study and was bowing down, he asked with a cold face: "You received the documents from the people against Lu Huilin, why didn't you inform the king in the first place." ”

Xiao Ye's tone of speech was not an inquiry, but a question, and although his tone was cold, there was also a chill.

And Huan Rang, originally to invite Xiao Daocheng for credit, naturally did not dare to say it clearly, but said: "The situation is urgent, I haven't thought much about it, please forgive Your Highness." ”

"Just because you are impulsive, this king has lost this good opportunity to deal with Xie Zheng!"

Huan Rang was puzzled, so he raised his head to look at Xiao Ye and asked, "What does Your Highness say about this?" ”

"Lu Huilin may really dare to be greedy for taxes, but even if he is given ten dares, he will not dare to be so blatant, so he must have the third brother behind him, since we have to deal with the third brother, it is naturally difficult for us to come forward, if we can push this matter to Xie Zheng, in the future, Xie Guifei will be investigated, they will fight each other, we are not fishermen and profit?"

Huan Rang still didn't think that Concubine Xie would retaliate against him in the future, he lowered his head, and said humbly with full apology: "Your Highness forgives your sins, it was the official's mistake." ”

Xiao Ye sighed: "That's it, dealing with this case can be regarded as a great achievement for you, as long as nothing goes wrong, this king will find a way to get you to be the middle of the imperial history." ”

Huan Rang was pleasantly surprised, and without saying a word, he knelt down and kowtowed to Xiao Ye, and said, "Your Highness Xie!" ”
