Chapter 102: Zuo Cheng
It has been a few days since Princess Zhaoyuan got married and left.
In the past few days, Lin Zuiliu has not been a taste of how to stay, and how to find fault with him.
It may be that summer is hot, and no matter what, Lin Zuiliu feels very uncomfortable in his heart.
At this time, she was hiding in the study to practice calligraphy, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were all available, she lifted the pen, and just made two strokes and dropped the pen on the table.
"Ahhh I don't feel any slimming at all except irritability. ”
No one could answer the soul question raised by Lin Zuiliu for her, because Liao Luan was not at home at this time.
Liao Luan has been busy recently, and he occasionally doesn't go home to live for three days, so it turns out that Princess Zhaoyuan is with him.
Now that I'm alone, every minute and every second is torment.
Lin Zuiliu stayed alone in the study, threw down the pen when he couldn't practice calligraphy, leaned on the couch and took out a notebook.
Since the last time Liao Luan was shy, she didn't dare to take out the painting book and read it in front of Liao Luan for a long time, but she stayed in the same study with Liao Luan.
So rounding up, she really hasn't read the script for a while.
Lin Zuiliu didn't think much about it, and directly opened the book in his hand.
As soon as she opened it, the book told the story of the princess and the emperor.
Lin Zuiliu ......
She thought that God should have deliberately opposed her to do this, otherwise why would she be able to see this unpopular subject as soon as she opened it today.
She threw away the book in her hand.
The script couldn't be read, Lin Zuiliu got up and walked out of the study, the sun outside was a little big, waiting for the scorching heat.
She trotted to the marble table under the grape trellises, and sat down on her newly placed rattan chair, which was swaying in the breeze, and her mood gradually calmed down.
Yi Dong saw that she finally went out, and quite attentively served Lin Zuiliu a plate of newly picked grapes on the shelf, and then turned around to busy himself.
Lin Zuiliu pondered, she should have missed it a little.
I miss Princess Zhaoyuan, who got married, I miss Concubine Chen who left, and I even miss the kind old man, the Queen Mother who died suddenly.
The death of the Queen Mother is really fast, so many people will suspect Concubine Chen.
Lin Zuiliu also knew that things like witch dolls had no practical use, so if the Queen Mother's body suddenly became bad, it must be someone behind the scenes.
She had no one to talk about her thoughts now, so she could only digest them secretly in her own heart, she squinted at the plump and bright purple grapes on the grape trellis above, and slowly fell asleep after thinking about it.
Lin Zuiliu looked very quiet and lifeless, and she didn't even hear the footsteps of Liao Luan coming back, and she slept happily.
The face was slightly deformed because of the pressure on the rattan chair and shoulders, and the mouth was slightly open, and the saliva seemed to be flowing, just stuck in the corners of the mouth.
Her stunned appearance made Liao Luan laugh at once.
Liao Luan, who had just come back from outside, looked dirty, and he was sweating a lot in the hot weather.
He hurriedly went into the study to change his clothes, and then came out and sat on the stone bench opposite Lin Zuiliu, holding a book on his mobile phone and eating the grapes on the table while reading.
The breeze was blowing gently, and the comfortable Lin Zuiliu slowly woke up, and at a glance saw Liao Luan, who was sitting opposite and eating grapes.
Liao Luan usually doesn't like to eat any snacks, Lin Zuiliu rarely saw him take the initiative to take something, and he ate so happily, he brought a large plate with Dongfang, and now there are less than ten left.
She was slightly surprised for a while, thinking that she still didn't come out of her dream.
It wasn't until Liao Luan's voice sounded that she pulled back her thoughts, "What's wrong, Ah Liu?" ”
Lin Zuiliu shook his head, watched him put down his hand and stopped pinching the grapes before he spoke: "No wonder you encouraged me to build a grape trellis so much, it turns out that you like to eat grapes." ”
Liao Luan raised his eyebrows undeniably, and then as if he remembered something, he put the book down and looked at Lin Zuiliu intently.
Liao Luan's pupils were filled with the sea of stars, and his eyes were deep, when he stared at others like this, Lin Zuiliu almost drowned in such a sight.
She hurriedly avoided Liao Luan's gaze, and Ne said, "What are you looking at?" ”
Lin Zuiliu heard Liao Luan chuckle and said, "I was busy with Princess Zhaoyuan a while ago, and I haven't had time to ask you, I heard that you and Princess Zhaoyuan scolded Lin Zhiyou on the street?" ”
It had been several months since this matter was said to have been a few months ago, and Lin Zuiliu himself had almost forgotten about it, but he didn't expect Liao Luan to suddenly bring it up.
She nodded, looked at Liao Luan with some confusion and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Such a small matter should never occupy the topic of conversation between the two people, and she didn't understand why Liao Luan would ask.
Fortunately, Liao Luan immediately opened her mouth to explain clearly, and this explanation made her a little crying and laughing.
"I arranged Lin Zhiyou in the capital guard, this job is tired and tired, and it is idle and idle, which was originally considered a fat poor."
Lin Zuiliu nodded, and he continued, "It stands to reason that Dingyuan Hou has done such a perfect thing to ask for the door, he should be satisfied, but two days ago, he suddenly brought a lot of gifts, and he has been thanking you again and again and asking you not to be angry." ”
"I just felt that something was wrong, and when I went back to check, I found out that you actually have a personal vendetta."
With Princess Zhaoyuan here, Liao Luan is naturally not afraid that Lin Zuiliu will suffer, and the secret guards who secretly protect Lin Zuiliu are generally not bullied, and she will not tell Liao Luan everything about her.
Therefore, Liao Luan didn't find out until then that she had met Lin Zhiyou in private.
When she thought of Lin Zhiyou's cowardice, she suddenly felt a little funny in her heart, and laughed out loud, hahaha for a long time.
It wasn't until Xiao's stomach hurt a little that she covered herself, sighed, and looked at Liao Luan to speak
"You said, if Lin Zhiyou had half of his sister's ruthlessness and intelligence, he wouldn't have asked my father to beg his grandfather to sue his grandmother to find him a job."
Lin Zuilu and Lin Zhiyou were originally a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, and when they gave birth, there was a lot of sensation in the capital.
It's just that as the grade grows up, Lin Zuilu is a girl, it's okay to say, she looks good, and as long as she marries a good family in the future, everyone will pull their necks and envy her.
It's just that Lin Zhiyou is completely spoiled as a gentleman, and he knows every day that he follows some fox friends and dog friends, and the noble sons and brothers go out to run horses and drink to tease the gnats.
Dingyuan Hou, those Wen Taowu didn't learn at all, and their intelligence was far inferior to others.
Because of him, Lin Zuiliu's eldest lady didn't know how many times she was ridiculed openly and secretly when she went out to parties and played pai gow with other people's noble ladies on weekdays.
"Everyone has their own fate, Lin Zhiyou himself is not good at learning by nature, and Mrs. Dingyuan Marquis doesn't care about it, and now it is understandable."
Lin Zuiliu agreed with Liao Luan's statement, and was just about to open his mouth to echo it, when the housekeeper suddenly entered the courtyard door and spread the word, saying that the emperor was coming.
It is rare for the emperor to come to Zhennan Wangfu once, and every time there is something in the past, Liao Luan is directly rumored to enter the palace.
Now that he came over suddenly, Liao Luan hurriedly got up and said to the housekeeper, "Welcome the emperor to go up to the study and sit, and soak the newly obtained jar of Taiping Monkey Kui." ”
As he spoke, he tidied up the clothes on his body left and right, and asked Lin Zuiliu to confirm that there was nothing inappropriate, and then he said, "You sit down first, and I'll go to the front yard to face the saint." ”
Lin Zuiliu nodded, urging Liao Luan to turn around and leave the hospital, only then did he fall on the rocking chair and lazily stop moving.
Here, Liao Luan walked quickly to the courtyard where his study was located in the front yard, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw the big eunuch next to the emperor standing at the door.
Liao Luan nodded slightly and gestured to the eunuch, he hurriedly opened the door of the study for Liao Luan, welcomed Liao Luan in, and closed the door intimately.
In the room, the emperor was drinking tea with a teacup, and when he saw Liao Luan coming, he put down the cup and hurriedly said, "I was in time, and it was rude not to notify you in advance." ”
Liao Luan shook his head, looked at Qi Jingheng's forehead dripping and sweating, frowned slightly, and asked, "It's okay, it's just that what's wrong with the emperor?" Why are you in such a hurry? ”
Hearing Liao Luan's question, Qi Jingheng's expression began to become bad again, with a faint anger that shook the ground.
"Prime Minister Zuo, the old horseman, suddenly went to the palace yesterday to ask to see me, and said that he wanted to tell the old man to return to his hometown, I asked him why he was like this, and he couldn't say a reason."
"Later, I sent someone to investigate, he once went to the post station and received a letter, I don't know whose it is, anyway, I think there is something wrong with this old horseman."
Since the last time Zuo Cheng found so many ministers in the court, not to beg the emperor to find the murderer of his daughter, but to force the emperor to punish Concubine Chen, Liao Luan felt that he had a problem.
Now hearing the emperor mention this, Liao Luan feels more and more that this person may not be pure-minded.
Most likely, he has collaborated with the enemy.
Zuo Cheng has a high level of power, and he is involved in many private decisions, including many policy facilities in the Northern Ring Country, including military facilities, he is slightly involved.
Once such a person defects to the enemy, the result is simply unimaginable.
Seeing that Liao Luan's expression was becoming more and more solemn, Qi Jingheng also felt a little bad in his heart, and he said softly, "Yan Gui, how is it, what do you think of?" ”
Liao Luan told Qi Jingheng his thoughts, and finally said, "But the emperor doesn't have to be afraid, after all, Prime Minister Zuo is different from the general who holds military power, and it is easy to control." ”
Hearing his words, Qi Jingheng raised the corners of his mouth a little helplessly, smiled bitterly and said, "It's easy for you to say, he is like a tree root, and he is connected to a bunch of ministers when he pulls it up, where do I dare to touch him easily." ”
