Chapter 16: Secrecy

That's the idea. Tao Yao couldn't help laughing, because of the military power of the General's Mansion, Brother Huai Jin actually became a fragrant glutton, I don't know how many forces the gods will want to marry him in the future.

"And who is the other thing about?" Considering that this first thing involves a wide range of things, Tao Yao is also interested, and she is more and more curious about the second thing.

Hongfu pulled the corners of her mouth proudly, but she didn't deliberately sell Guanzi: "It's Shangguan Zhaorong, the slave maid found that her relationship with King Liang is very unusual." ”

Shangguan Wan'er and Wu Sansi? Tao Yao thought about it, and always felt that this matter was a little incredible: "What's so unusual?" ”

Wu Sansi is Wu Cao's nephew, and he used to go in and out of Zhenguan Hall often, and Shangguan Wan'er, as Wu Cao's most favored female official, it is not surprising that the two are familiar with each other. But even during that time, I didn't hear anything from these two people, why is Shangguan Wan'er now Li Xian's Zhaorong, but she doesn't avoid suspicion?

"The little lord knows that the nose of the slave is very smart. The incense used by King Liang is dipterocarp mixed with a little tonka incense, which has the effect of refreshing and refreshing the brain, and it is easy to distinguish after smelling it once. "Hongfu's sense of smell is sensitive, and she is famous in the Yongwang Mansion, so she became Liu's personal maid at a young age. Even now, the spices used by Tao Yao are all from her hands, and since she will say so, it must be certain.

"And Shangguan Zhaorong has always used lily incense, and the two are very different, and it stands to reason that this habit will not change in a short period of time. But the first few times the slave maid touched her, the fragrance on her body was vaguely the same as that of King Liang......"

"So you think the two of them have a personal relationship?" Tao Yao took over, but her eyes were fixed on the page in the brazier that had burned to ashes.

The incense of the dignitaries and the harem ladies is very exquisite, and they generally have their own unique spice recipes, and they will not be passed on, that is, it is difficult for you to make them exactly the same, not to mention the extent that you have only smelled them once or twice? And if it does...... Judging from the situation that Hongfu can easily sniff out as soon as she touches it, I'm afraid that it won't be a good relationship at all.

"It's almost conclusive." Hongfu obviously judged from this point of view: "It's a pity that there is no conclusive evidence, otherwise it would be ......"

"How else?" Tao Yao looked up at her funny: "Can we still take the evidence and run to His Majesty to sue her?" We have no grievances in the past and no hatred in the near future, so we can't be such a wicked person. Moreover, even Li Xian herself would definitely not be happy to hear this kind of news coming from the mouth of a junior, and she would not be able to get any benefit from it at all.

"That'...... Then we can let her go? Hongfu hesitated for a long time, but she also understood that what Tao Yao said was true, but she always felt unwilling to leave such a big secret in vain: "Or, can we use this news to get Shangguan Zhaorong and let her be used by us?" ”

Shaking her head with a smile, Tao Yao picked up a cup of tea on the table, and poured it into the brazier with a change of hand, until the ashes were all pasted into a ball, and she couldn't see the original appearance.

"Although Shangguan Wan'er is currently in charge of internal affairs, she has been in charge of the edict for so many years, and she is notorious, and she is quite well-connected in the court and Shilin." The girl's voice was not hurried or slow, and there was a strange power to soothe people's hearts while speaking slowly, which made Hongfu's originally somewhat anxious mood instantly settle: "We are not politicians, and we don't want to seek anything in the court, it is really unwise to make enemies with her." Besides, she is still quite respectful and polite to us now, and there is no sign of bias towards Merriam-Webster, and we should not break this situation. "As for the news......

"Sister Hongfu, help me sharpen the ink." Standing up lightly, Tao Yao smiled, fading the calm expression of the time, her face was vivid and beautiful as if a flower was blooming, fresh and bright, youthful and invincible, so beautiful and dazzling that people couldn't take their eyes off it: "It just so happens that Princess Taiping just told me something, and we should also give something back." ”

"The county lord is ......" Hongfu's eyes lit up, and then she quickly packed up the brazier and went to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. Yes, why is she stupid, it's useless for them to take this news, it doesn't mean that others don't either, even if it's a personal favor for nothing. As for what news came from Princess Taiping, it was not for her to care.

And Tao Yao, who was standing by the window, looked at the extraordinarily blue sky outside, but her eyes deepened for no reason, as if there was an invisible storm slowly brewing in it, which would only sweep everything in the near future, and no one was spared: "Wei's, Wu Sansi, Shangguan Wan'er...... Hehe, the gods are really getting more and more lively. ”

At the same moment, in the barracks on the outskirts of Shendu, Gao Xianzhi looked at the secret letter in his hand, and his sword eyebrows couldn't help frowning.

Tao Yao went to the Princess Zhenguo Mansion some time ago, he knew, he thought it was just a routine visit, but he didn't expect that since then, her contact with Princess Taiping has become extremely close, and it seems to be far more than when she was by Princess Taiping's side. That's a bit weird.

"What are you going to do?" Muttering to himself, the man's handsome silhouette looked a little blurry in the backlit tent, as if his mood at the moment, after losing his previous certainty, rarely had a little panic.

To be honest, although it was a decision he made with Tao Yao to return to his senses at the beginning, in fact, after the meeting that night, they didn't have more contact. It is not easy to occupy a place in a place like Shendu, which is full of powerful people and hidden dragons and crouching tigers, although he has little military merit now, but in the end he is still just a small guerrilla general, and he still has too far to go if he wants to marry His Majesty's adopted daughter home. Therefore, these days, he has hardly left this camp, and Tao Yao is confined to the deep palace, and there is even very little correspondence between them, and he really can't fathom the girl's current thoughts. And all of this made him extremely uneasy, so that even if the news about her was in his hands, one of his hearts still hung in the air, and he couldn't touch the ground anyway.

Quite irritably, he crumpled the small paper roll into a shapeless ball, and Gao Xianzhi's hands used force to break it into powder, and it fell to the ground. Before he could clean up his mood, the curtain of the tent was lifted coldly, but it was a tall rooster in military uniform who walked in.

"What's the matter, but is there something going on in the Imperial City?" Keenly aware of his son's strange appearance, and also saw the white powder on the ground with sharp eyes, Gao Sheji put down the long sword in his hand and tried his best to look quiet: "Or, you can't rest assured that the little county lord wants to go back and see?" ”

He knows this son of his very well, not to mention the ups and downs of the Shendu, even if the battle comes to him, he probably won't frown. The only one who could mess with his mind and shatter the overly calm mask on his face was Tao Yao. Only that little girl can make him so distracted that he forgets even the most basic cover-up.

"Father, I'm ......" stopped talking for a while, and Gao Xianzhi didn't know how to answer his father's question for the first time.

"Alright." Stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, Gao Sheji just smiled in understanding: "Go back if you want, young man, you should always go crazy with your own heart." ”

"Father......" Gao Xianzhi's eyes flashed rapidly, and after a while, he didn't say anything, and walked out striding out as soon as the curtain was lifted.

Yes, he has to follow his heart, no matter what, he can't let go of Tao Yao's hand.

And Gao She Chicken, almost stunned, watched his son leave like the wind, and after a long time, he shook his head with a wry smile: "It's really our Gao family's infatuated species......"
