Chapter 20: The Emperor is Suspicious
Although it was fleeting, it was still captured by the careful Gu Feiyan, recalling his words just now, Gu Feiyan was shocked, and hurriedly got up and asked for sin: "Your Majesty forgive me, the concubine didn't mean this, just because this kind of painting technique was taught by a friend of my father, but he doesn't like to show it by nature, so the concubine has never shown this method." ”
At the same time, she scolded the sensitive and suspicious Ming Xuanze in her heart, she was kind enough to help you, but you are still suspicious......
When it was decided to let her be a knife in her hand, Ming Xuanze had already sent someone to secretly investigate her, and her performance today was too good, which aroused Ming Xuanze's suspicions.
Listening to her explanation now, Ming Xuanze was a little reluctant, and secretly said that he was indeed thinking too much, so he hurriedly helped the person up, and said, "I just said it casually, why should Concubine Ai be so alarmed." ”
His expression was reproachful and doting, as if what was just a hallucination of Gu Feiyan just now.
This is the king, one second he was smiling and smiling, maybe the next second he can turn his face ruthlessly, Gu Feiyan can only deeply understand the truth of accompanying the king like a tiger at this moment.
It seems that he has to be more careful in the future, otherwise don't help him pacify the Ye family, but he will become his next target.
Gu Feiyan had relatives in his heart, and his expression was much more respectful than just now, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”
Ming Xuanze is so smart, with just one glance, he guessed her thoughts.
But to explain it rashly now will only make her misunderstand herself even more, so he didn't say much.
just hugged the person into his arms and said, "Concubine Ai, I will accompany you to Ningning tomorrow, let's rest early." ”
As he spoke, he picked up Gu Feiyan and walked towards the bed......
The consequence of a night's tiring work was that when he went to the morning court on the second day, Ming Xuanze yawned a few times.
This scene was seen by King Yi, and after the next dynasty, after the two brothers walked together, Ming Xuanze received ridicule from his younger brother.
"Brother Huang, although the imperial sister-in-law is true, you also have to value your dragon body."
Thinking of last night's profligacy, Ming Xuanze's face suddenly became a little unbearable, and he immediately said majestically: "Nonsense, more and more nonsense." ”
The two of them grew up together since childhood, and their love is extraordinary, so King Yi is not afraid of him.
Hearing this, he glanced at Ming Xuanze meaningfully: "Brother Huang, the younger brother just said later, what are you doing in such a hurry?" Did you really let the younger brother say it? ”
Ming Xuanze also knew his temperament, and the more you paid attention to him, the more energetic he became, so he simply turned to him coldly and asked about something else: "How about the things I asked you to do?" ”
Speaking of business, Ming Xuanyi immediately put away his playful thoughts.
He glanced around and made sure that there was no Empress Dowager Ye's eyeliner around, so he said with a straight face: "Brother Ye is worthy of your trust, then Ye Wanli's hand is too fast, and he has already destroyed all the evidence before he finds out anything." ”
Back then, the Ye family controlled the government, the Empress Dowager Ye dominated the harem, and there were princes' concubines in the palace, most of whom did not escape her poisonous hands.
Later, after it was decided to adopt Ming Xuanze, she even reached the point where she was so mad that she didn't even let go of the prince.
The first emperor originally had nine princes, but in the end, only two of them were left.
Of course, the reason why he was able to escape the poisonous hands of Empress Dowager Ye was all due to Ming Xuanze's secret protection.
Therefore, in order to repay the great kindness of the imperial brother, and also to avenge his mother's concubine, Ming Xuanyi has pretended to be amorous over the years, but in fact, he is secretly seeking information for Ming Xuanze and contacting loyal people to help him get rid of Yejia's control.
A few days ago, the Chen family was uprooted, and a lot of clues about the Ye family's corruption and perversion of the law were also brought out, so Ming Xuanze asked Ming Xuanyi to investigate secretly, but unfortunately the result was unsatisfactory.
Hearing this, Ming Xuanze was obviously a little silent, but he still said: "It's okay, if Ye Wanli can let you catch the handle so easily, then the Ye family can't be rampant for so many years." ”
"Thank you for your understanding, but this matter is not good for me, and my brother is ashamed."
"You and my brothers, there is no need to be like this, just be careful next time."
Ming Xuanyi's heart calmed down a little, and he remembered something again and said: "By the way, brother Huang, do you really want to accompany your sister-in-law to Ning today?" ”
Ming Xuanze trusted him very much, so he had already told Ming Xuanyi about his plan to win over Gu Xianglin.
"Well, but today I plan to probe Gu Xianglin's tone first to determine whether he is reliable."
"Brother Huang, this is very reassuring, although the younger brother has not had much contact with this person, but I heard that he does have some talents, even Ye Wanli wanted to take him for his own use, but unfortunately he refused."
Ming Xuanyi sighed as he spoke, "That's why he has been succumbing to the Ministry of Industry all these years, and his life is very poor." ”
Hearing his younger brother say this, Ming Xuanze was a little relieved again.
Listen to him again: "It's just that he can't say anything at all in the Ministry of Industry, even if you really win him over, it won't be of much help to our affairs." ”
Otherwise, when he recruited loyal ministers for Ming Xuanze, he would have chosen this person first.
"You don't have to worry about that, I have my own way." Ming Xuanze smiled mysteriously.
"Okay, the imperial brother also sold the guanzi with the younger brother!" Ming Xuanyi complained a little.
"Alright, if you're fine, go back first." Ming Xuanze was afraid that he would stay too long and arouse the suspicion of Empress Dowager Ye, so he said.
Who knew that Ming Xuanyi hesitated for a while with a embarrassed face, and only after a while did he swallow and say: "Brother Huang, I really don't hide it, my brother really wants to trouble you with something......
"What's the matter, you say."
"That's it, it was the imperial sister-in-law's hand that made the courtier's brother curious yesterday, I don't know if you can lend it to the courtier's brother to observe for a few days."
After Gu Feiyan's painting was circulated yesterday, it was framed by Ming Xuanze and placed on his imperial desk.
Seeing his younger brother's somewhat longing look, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Okay, take it if you want!" “
"Yes, thank you—"
Ming Xuanyi was overjoyed and was about to thank him, but he heard him say again: "But after reading it, remember to return to Zhao ......."
Ming Xuanyi's smile froze on his face, and he couldn't help but say, "Brother Huang, you're too stingy, aren't you?" ”
Obviously, Concubine Chen is his person, how many such paintings does he want, but he wants to return them so much! Ming Xuanyi complained in his heart.
"If you're still dissatisfied, I won't borrow ......"
"Hey, don't don't, don't be, the younger brother is still it, the younger brother must be returned!" Ming Xuanyi hurriedly said.
Then he was afraid that Ming Xuanze would regret it, and he was afraid of holding the painting and slipping away.
Ming Xuanze laughed for a while, and then went to Haoyue Xuan.
