Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Virtuous Encounter with the Virtuous, Far Away from the Mud

The first thing he did when he returned to the capital from the summer resort was that Lord Shui summoned Mu Qing.

In the two months of absence, I can only rely on Mu Qing, the words of the flying pigeon to pass on the book, to understand every move in the capital.

Now that I have returned to the capital, I naturally want to get to know each other well.

Worry about missing some details and burying future troubles.

Lord Shui met Mu Qing in his own mansion. Mu Qing told Prime Minister Shui everything that happened in the capital during these times.

Mu Qing looked worried, "My lord, how do you want to deal with these officials who are attached to us?" ”

"It's okay, their old man didn't plan to reuse it. It's just that when the momentum rises, they need to be a promoter. It's just that I didn't expect these fools to swallow so much silver behind the old man's back. It seems that the merchants in the capital, the old man should also take action. Otherwise, these idiots will definitely spoil the old man's big business. ”

"Yes, sir."

"In the past few days, if you find some people to make trouble at the merchants in the capital, you will say that you are collecting protection money. It can be regarded as a reminder and a warning to them. ”

"Yes, my lord."

"This time it's just a loss of money. Fortunately, the perpetrator of the crime is a bull head and has no clues. If so, give the money. I'm afraid that the old man will be affected. I don't know how to stop the money when I lose it, and I have to go to the merchant to collect it even harder. Fortunately, this time, Prime Minister Cai Cheng and Xia Taiwei have appointed a few inconsequential officials, and it seems that they should be quiet for a while. If they stop there, the old man will not be held accountable. If they still don't repent, the old man will be severely punished. ”

"Your Excellency is wise."

"The officials in the capital are greedy and the old man naturally knows that if they are filial to the old man, they may not be so blatant. It's not bad to be greedy, and the old man just turns a blind eye. This group of people who are sad for thousands of miles really don't know what to do. This time, just let them go and warn them. Don't be spared next time. Lord Shui was a little angry, and his tone was heavier.

"Yes, sir. The adults went to the summer resort this time, but it went well. "After talking about the capital, it's time to talk about the summer resort.

"Alas. If it weren't for the queen who saved the old man's life in the summer resort, how would the old man have the opportunity to talk to you here now. Prime Minister Shui is still a little scared when he says now.

Mu Qing naturally didn't understand very well, so Lord Shui told Mu Qing the whole thing truthfully.

Listening to Prime Minister Shui's description, Prime Minister Shui did not doubt Cai Yu's meaning at all.

The words really revealed that he was grateful to Cai Xiaoxiao for sacrificing his life to save himself.

"If it weren't for the queen's sacrifice to save her, the old man would have died this time. The queen's life-saving grace to the old man, the old man naturally remembered it in his heart. It's just that the old man still has a doubt in his heart. "Although the matter of saving the water prime minister is true, this old fox is still very suspicious. I have always been very skeptical about the authenticity of Cai Yue's identity.

"Your Excellency is worried about the identity of the queen?" Mother really understands the water master.

"Yes. Her identity began with Prince He. ”

"My lord, let's quietly tell Prince He the news of the queen's assassination, and see Prince He's reaction."

"Good. Let's see how the prince, the queen and the emperor react. ”

"Yes, sir."

That's why there was a note in the prince's house later.

In this way, every move in the prince's palace was closely monitored.

The queen went to the prince's mansion, and the emperor went to the prince's mansion, and Lord Shui naturally only knew everything about it.

In this way, it is certain.

and Cai Xiaoxiao's nagging along the way after he was drunk, which can be regarded as spitting the truth after drinking.

Fortunately, what Cai Xiaoxiao talked about along the way was his own past.

In this way, the identity of this Cai Xiaoxiao is a fake queen, and it is a certainty, and there is no objection.

The relationship with the prince is also solid, and the emperor is also very sad about this fake queen.

It seems that this fake queen really has some powerful means.

For the water lord, the queen is now not only a life-saving benefactor, but also a partner and a life-saving benefactor.

After returning to the capital, Lord Shui could not go to the harem to visit the queen in person.

However, it is still okay to ask the emperor about it.

After all, the queen is the life-saving benefactor of Lord Shui, and ask about the queen's physical condition. It is a courtesy, and it is also the common feeling of people.

The emperor naturally wants to convey the meaning of Lord Shui to the queen.

As soon as Cai heard it, he knew what was going on, wasn't this a hint of an appointment?

Of course, the emperor also knows it.

Now the tacit understanding between the emperor and the queen is really good.

After nightfall, Cai Yu slipped out of the palace and arrived at Lord Shui's house.

In the hall, Lord Shui asked Cai to sit in a north-facing position, and Lord Shui sat in a south-facing position.

The first two times we met. Lord Shui was sitting facing east, but now he was sitting opposite Cai Yu.

It seems that this life-saving grace is really different.

Lord Shui saw the queen and thanked her again.

At this time, Cai Xiaoxiao naturally wants to highlight that he is a water saver, which is human nature, and there is no need to worry about it.

"If it hadn't been for Niangniang's rescue that day, Wechen would have been in ruins."

"Lord Shui doesn't have to be like this, since you and I have already conspired, this is also a matter of duty."

"Niangniang treats Weichen so sincerely, Weichen naturally repays Niangniang with this heart."

"Lord Shui, don't mind."

"Niangniang's life-saving grace, Weichen must remember it."

"Your Excellency, it's serious. It's just that the person who assassinated Lord Shui, Lord Shui still has to find out. After all, I can save Lord Shui once, but this second time I'm afraid I can't do anything. It's better to prepare early. Cai said this well.

First, it shows that it is a pure coincidence that you can save the water lord, and there is naturally no second coincidence.

Second, we can also continue to promote this matter, otherwise why bother to leave some vague and imaginary space at that time!

"That's what the mother said." Since Cai Xiaoxiao saved Lord Shui, the name of Lord Shui to Cai Xiaoxiao has also changed.

"Lord Shui, is there a bit of an eyebrow?"

"It's just speculation, but there's no conclusive evidence."

"Oh! That's fine. This can also be prevented, which is better than not knowing anything. However, the enemy is in the dark water, and the Lord is in the light, so you still have to be careful. Cai Xiaoxiao was not so anxious, wanting to know the guess of this water lord.

Being too anxious to probe into other people's speculations has a sense of aggression and condescension, which makes people uncomfortable.

Now the relationship between Cai and the water lord, if the water lord wants to say, he will naturally say it, so why do Cai have to ask many times!

"It's just that this matter still needs the assistance of the mother."

"Me? My lord, please tell me, I will do my best if I can do it. "Cai Xiaoxiao is in front of Lord Shui, but he never calls himself this palace, he always calls me.

In this way, it is also humble, easy to believe and approach.

"The minister wants Niangniang to help probe the emperor's tone."

"Lord Shui, don't you mean that this matter has something to do with the emperor?" The water adults are so obvious, if you pretend to be stupid again, wouldn't it be inappropriate.

Could it be that Mizu-sama is working with a fool!

Lord Shui looked at Cai Xiao very seriously, "Chen is just guessing. ”

"It's just that I don't know, the reason for this, how can I test the emperor?" Cai Xiaoxiao pretended to be very good, looking ignorant.

"That's what the mother said. Rash temptation will definitely startle the snake. ”

Next, Lord Shui told Cai Yu the original of his guess.

"What my lord means is that because some officials on your side have colluded with officials and businessmen, the emperor has a misunderstanding. That's why the emperor wants to capture the thief and capture the king first? ”

"The minister's guess is probably like this."

"Good. It's not that hard. ”

"In Niangniang's heart, don't you already have a countermeasure?" Mizu-sama was a little surprised.

"Pretty much. The emperor is planning to build a star hanging tower recently. This is not a matter of one or two sentences. Human, material, and financial resources are all needed. Find a suitable opportunity and test it to find out whether the emperor made this decision because of the collusion between officials and businessmen. "I'm afraid even these ministers don't know about the matter of Xingzhulou. But Cai Xiaoxiao knew, which shows the emperor's trust in this queen.

Cai Xiaoxiao was thinking about separating from him, but he didn't expect Lord Shui to take the initiative to send it to the door, so how could Cai Xiaoxiao not accept it.

"Okay, the minister will thank Niangniang first."

"You're welcome, Lord Shui."

"The minister is waiting for the good news from the mother."

"The water master is very polite."

"I've met Niangniang a few times, but I don't know Niangniang's surname."

"Cai Xiaoxiao."

"The queen's name is naturally known. It's just that Niangniang, your original name is unknown. If someone asks a minister, how should he introduce you? ”

Cai Xiaoxiao reacted at this time. She had the same name and surname as the queen, and almost ignored this.

Since then, Cai Xiaoxiao has also completely confirmed that Lord Shui's trust in her is a confirmation of her identity as a fake queen.

At this time, Cai Xiaoxiao remembered a poem by Li Qingzhao Every year in the snow, he often inserts plum blossoms to get drunk. There is no good intention to sweep the plum blossoms, and win the tears of the clothes.

"Forgive me, Lord Forget Water, it's too deep into the play."

"It's a good thing that my mother is so cautious."

"My real name is Nian Xueli. My adoptive parents' surname was Nian, and they picked me up in the snow that winter. That's why I named it Nian Xueli. Cai Xiaoxiao made up a name casually.

"It's a good name." Lord Shui has some doubts in his heart, adoptive parents?

However, since it can be told that it is the adoptive parents, it seems that there is such a great hatred with the current imperial court, which is true.

This is the water lord is very curious, what kind of hatred is in the middle?

But the water lord also sinks.

At this time, I asked in a hurry, but it seemed a little out of class.

I'll ask slowly when I have a chance later.

There is no urgency in this matter.

"My adoptive parents were businessmen and had little education. It's just a random name. Cai said it very humbly and indifferently.

Master Shui thought to himself, no wonder Xue Li was so cautious and so smart this year. It turned out that I grew up in such an environment.

"The mother is humble. Today, Niangniang is out of the palace. It's good to take the mother to meet someone. "Lord Shui is also really polite to Cai Yu now.

"Good. Since Lord Shui thinks I should see it, then I will see it. It seems that this person must be someone whom Lord Shui trusts very much. ”

"Niangniang is really naturally beautiful."

Lord Shui took Cai out of the house.

The queens are so sincere, and Lord Shu naturally has to show his sincerity.

Master Shui took Cai Yuyue to see Su Wanyue.

Su Wanyue also got a notice from Lord Shui today, so she didn't perform, saying that she was sick and recuperating in her room.

Lord Shui took Cai Yuyue from the back door of the Yanyu Building to Su Wanyue's room.

As soon as the door opened, Cai saw Su Wanyue in front of him.

Cai Xiao couldn't help but shed tears, and Cai Xiao told himself rationally.

Must be calm, Cai Yu took advantage of their inattention to wipe away his tears. calmly followed the water lord and entered the house.

Lord Shui did not tell Su Wanyue that this person was the queen.

Just briefly introduced the name of the year of the snow.

If you have a life-saving grace for the water lord, you will also be involved in this matter.

Master Shui also briefly introduced Su Wanyue, of course, the most critical identity, and the stone were all told to Cai Yuyue.

Cai Xiaoxiao pretended to be calm and barely spoke.

After that, Cai Xiaoxiao and Lord Shui separated and returned to the palace.

Back in the palace, Cai Xiaoxiao did not go back to the Zhaixiu Palace, but went to the emperor's Qinzheng Palace.

The father-in-law who guards the door is the queen, so naturally he will no longer turn the queen away as before.

Cai Xiao entered the hall, and there was only the emperor in the palace.

The emperor looked at Cai Xiao a little different tonight, and hurriedly walked down the steps.

"What's wrong with the Queen?" The emperor asked with great concern and worry.

"Tonight I was in the Yanyu Building, and I saw a woman, this woman looks exactly like Mei." This tone is not like the tone of Cai Yu's top and rush at night on weekdays.

Cai Xiaoxiao had never seen him so excited when he was injured, and a woman from the Yanyu Building tonight made Cai Xiaoxiao so excited.

The emperor pulled Cai Xiaoxiao, asked Cai Xiaoxiao to sit down, and spoke slowly.

Cai Yue slowly told the story of tonight.

This woman is exactly the same as the beautiful woman, named Su Wanyue.

Emperor Su Wanyue naturally knew that after all, she went out of the palace with Concubine Xian that time.

I saw him in the Yanyu Building, and later Concubine Xian also talked about this person's life experience.

Although the emperor had been prepared in his heart, the princess of the previous dynasty still made the emperor a little different.

However, since Concubine Xian can tell the emperor, it seems that this Su Wanyue does not plan to cooperate with Lord Shui.

In addition, the queen also told the emperor about this incident before.

In this way, the emperor will not have the intention of killing.

Cai Xiaoxiao had heard of this person from both the concubine and the emperor before, but now they have met.

If it is really like what Concubine Xian said, it will only be good for the emperor and the queen.

In Su Wanyue's life experience, there must be a story.

No matter what other stories there are, Cai must figure it out.

"It doesn't matter if it's beautiful or not, or if it just looks like beauty. Here, this palace thinks that he is beautiful, and this palace must protect him thoroughly. ”

"I can understand the Queen's feelings." The emperor has heard Cai Xiaoxiao talk about this beautiful girl many times, and she was the one who saved Cai Xiaoxiao. It makes sense for Cai to have such a performance.

"Since Su Wanyue is the princess of the previous dynasty, then the palace must also be her sister."

"I understand the Queen, it's just a little difficult, isn't it? According to Su Wanyue and Lord Shui, the queen should have a stone. ”

"yes. There are no stones in the main palace either. Does the emperor know this stone? ”

"Back then, my father, in order to let our children and grandchildren always remember the lessons of the previous dynasty, picked up two stones from the steps of the palace where the emperor of the previous dynasty dealt with government affairs. One is placed in the case of the Qinzheng Palace, let us always remember. The other was placed behind the plaque of the Lian Ming Hall of the Morning Dynasty of the Daily Ministers. ”

Cai looked at the emperor and hugged the emperor.

This hug caught the emperor a little off guard, and he didn't know how to put his hand, which was particularly strange.

After that, the emperor took out the stone in the case of the Qinzheng Palace and gave it to Cai Xiao.

With the stone in place, Cai Xiaoyue naturally wanted to go to Su Wanyue next.

Su Wanyue is such a smart person, Cai Xiaoxiao's almost tearful action when she entered the door was naturally seen by him.

After Lord Shui and Cai Yu left.

Su Wanyue was still wondering why the girl was crying this year.

However, this Su Wanyue felt that this year's girl was quite familiar.

But I can't remember where I've seen it.

It was late at night, and the smoke and rain building was quiet.

Cai Xiaoxiao quietly slipped through the window into Su Wanyue's room.

lit a candle and gently woke up Su Wanyue.

Su Wanyue was a little different, why did she come to her so late at night.

"I don't know what the young girl is going to my boudoir late at night, but what's the matter?" Su Wanyue sat up and leaned against the edge of the bed.

Cai Xiaoxiao didn't speak, took out a bag from his chest, and handed it to Su Wanyue.

Su Wanyue opened the bag and poured a stone out of the bag.

This stone Su Wanyue is too familiar with, and she has always carried it with her. It's just that there are some differences between this one and my own.

Su Wanyue hurriedly took out her stone and put it in her hand.

The joint stones are all the same except for the subtle patterns.

It can be seen that the two stones come from the same source.

Su Wanyue sat on the bed and looked at Cai Yue with some curiosity, "Girl, what's going on?" ”

Nian Xue told his own story in detail.

Nian Xueli was adopted by a businessman, and when she grew up, she also followed her adoptive parents into business.

Later, the adoptive parents died of old age, so they told Nian Xueli's life experience.

This stone was also given to Nian Xueli when his adoptive parents died.

Later, Nian Xueli went into business in various countries around the world in order to find her lost relatives.

He went to the country of Sina and inadvertently saved the life of Lord Shui.

He also stayed in the country of Sina for a short time.

When he opened the door and looked at Su Wanyue, Jin inexplicably felt a familiar feeling, and he burst into tears.

When Xueli looked at the stone in Su Wanyue's hand, she was sure that there were still relatives in this world.

That familiar feeling, it turned out to be a relative, it turned out to be similar.

This Cai Yu's blind weaving skills are also becoming more and more superb.

Su Wanyue also immediately agreed.

Ye Mei and Cai Xiaoxiao are indeed similar to several people.

At that time, because the water lord was there, it was not easy to recognize each other in the snow. Only in the dead of night did Su Wanyue find each other alone.

Su Wanyue listened to Nian Xueli tell her story and left tears in her eyes.

Nian Xueli is older than Su Wanyue, so she is naturally her sister.

Su Wanyue is very fortunate that she still has relatives.

After Su Wanyue asked her sister in detail about Lord Shui, she told Nian Xueli the truth about her meaning.

Nian Xueli naturally wants to agree with his sister's thoughts.

Unexpectedly, Su Wanyue was so aware of righteousness, which made Cai Yuyue a little surprised.

Cai Xiaoxiao told Su Wanyue that no matter who it was, don't tell Nian Xue that it was her sister.

Nian Xueli felt that Lord Shui had bad intentions and wanted to test it. So you must not tell anyone, not even the people you trust the most.

Su Wanyue has been in Yanyu Building for so many years, and she knows how powerful it is.

One bite of the promise of Nian Xueli.

Cai Yu, who returned to the Imperial Palace, returned directly to Zhaixiu Palace this time.

The emperor is also already waiting for Cai in the Zhaixiu Palace.

Cai Xiaoxiao was very grateful to the emperor, and told the emperor all about meeting Su Wanyue tonight and Su Wanyue's thoughts.

The emperor also sighed that he was so righteous and awe-inspiring.

Since the queen is Su Wanyue's sister, the emperor is naturally Su Wanyue's brother-in-law.

Then it will definitely be like Cai Yuyue protecting Su Wanyue, protecting Su Wanyue.

This night, Cai Xiaoxiao and the emperor talked a lot about beauty.

The emperor is also a good listener.

This night, Su Wanyue slept very soundly and happily.

It must have been the first time in years that she had been so happy.
