The emperor was very angry, and returned to the main hall with a cold snort, and his father-in-law stepped forward to comfort, "Lord An has always been loyal, and it is because of Mrs. An that speaks freely today, so why should the emperor bother with him." ”

"Hmph, if it weren't for Cher's sake, I would have done him a long time ago." How many things have happened in An Mingchen's mansion during this time, in vain he kept saying that he would not live up to Xue'er, but Xue'er just died, she hugged left and right, and brought many women back to the house, what does he want to do, even if he thinks so in his heart, is it necessary to make everyone know? Let him, the emperor, be embarrassed to follow him.

If it weren't for Huangfu Xue's sake, the emperor would have really done An Mingchen. It is also a trouble to find yourself today.

"The emperor is magnanimous and generous, and he has been convinced of Lord An all these years, the emperor knows in his heart that Lord An is a person, and he knows that he is at the beginning, if he really cares about Lord An, it will not be embarrassing for himself." When the father-in-law comforted, Concubine He walked in with the palace maid, "Your Majesty, the concubine heard that the emperor is a little unwell today, so she specially asked the imperial dining room to make some soup to replenish her body, and the emperor drank more while it was hot." ”

"There is Concubine Lao."

The emperor put away his displeasure, took the soup bowl in Concubine He's hand, drank two sips and thought it was good, and drank a few more sips. Seeing that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the hall, Concubine He asked tentatively, "There is something wrong with the concubine's look at the emperor, but what happened?" ”

"Hmph, who else in the entire government and the opposition can make me angry like this, and I can't do anything about him." The emperor was already angry, but when he heard Concubine He say this, he suddenly lost his temper. When Concubine He heard that it was An Mingchen's matter, a trace of calculation flashed in her eyes, "Speaking of Lord An, since the death of Mrs. An, there have been a lot of rumors about Lord An recently, and the people of the capital can hear his affairs almost every day as a talking point, if Lord An is just an ordinary courtier, because something happened at home, it would not hurt to spread some rumors, but he was a prime minister, an example of civil and military officials, if this matter was transmitted to several other countries, wouldn't it be a joke for others to see." ”

The emperor didn't pay much attention to this matter, but after listening to Concubine He's words, his face suddenly changed. He has been thinking that those rumors were deliberately done by someone in the past few days, the purpose is to discredit An Mingchen, but he forgot that no matter whether this matter is true or not, An Mingchen represents the court of Northern Chu. He lost face, which is equivalent to Beichu losing face.

The emperor cares about face, how can he be willing to be displeased because a courtier pulls down his hard-earned momentum. Concubine He Guifei saw the emperor's displeasure, pretended not to see it and continued, "The concubine knows that the emperor admires and trusts Lord An, but there is not only one Lord An in Northern Chu, but Northern Chu is the emperor's Northern Chu, and the emperor still has to think about the people of Northern Chu before he sits on anything." ”

"I know. I still have a twist and turn to see, so you can go back first. The emperor was displeased, so he sent Concubine He to sit alone at the table and think about things, and the father-in-law wanted to remind the emperor, but when he thought of something, he shut up again. On the other side, Concubine He left triumphantly, thinking in her heart that after what happened just now, even if the emperor didn't really do anything to An Mingchen, she was determined to win the name of this imperial businessman.

An Mingchen didn't know that he was carrying the concubine on his back, and after leaving the palace, he was in a bad mood, so he got out of the carriage and walked around the street. On the other hand, Huang Fuxue went to find Huang Fuyue early in the morning, and took it to terminate the agreement by the way, Huang Fuyue talked about it casually yesterday, she didn't want to terminate the contract with Huang Fuxue at all, plus with Huang Fuxue's help, the shop came back to life in just a few days, and made so much money, where would she be willing to be such a backer. It's just that Huang Fuxue has a resolute attitude, and she is unmoved no matter what she says.

After a few times, Huang Fuyue finally knew that Huang Fuxue was not just talking, and she really came to terminate the contract today, and immediately panicked, "Miss Chen, I was just a quick speaker yesterday, if you are angry, I can't apologize to you?" You have already agreed to cooperate with me, and you have canceled the agreement in just a few days, but we agreed before, if you can't fulfill the agreement, I can pay you back. ”

"It's just four hundred taels, don't be." Huangfu Xue is not short of money, and it is not her style to compromise for the sake of four hundred taels. "If the eldest lady has no opinion, sign it." Seeing that he was so resolute that no matter what she said, there would be no room for maneuver today, and although he was reluctant, he took back the agreement after hesitating.

"Miss Chen, I thought for the time being that you canceled the agreement because you were dissatisfied with me, and when you think clearly, I can give you a chance." Huang Fuyue reminded kindly. Huang Fuxue didn't bother to take care of him, took the agreement and left, and when he passed by the gambling house, a drunk man walked and staggered, Huang Fuxue didn't notice that he was loaded by him, and almost hit him.

"How did you walk, you almost knocked Lao Tzu to death, do you know?" The wicked people of the Han Dynasty sued first, and they did not forgive. Huangfu Xue stabilized her figure and turned her head to look, "It was obviously you who hit me just now, but you sued the wicked first, why, seeing that I am a woman, you think I am a bully, right?" ”

"You little girl, you look gentle and gentle, why do you talk so wildly." Dahan stretched out his hand, and Huangfu Xue took two steps back in disgust, "Don't touch me." ”

"Tasteful. I like it. Dahan wanted to do it again, but at this time, a few people came out of the gambling house and tied Dahan directly, "I want to run away like this because I owe us the money to the ninth master, have you asked what our ninth master means?" ”

Dahan was anxious to get rid of those people, but he couldn't struggle, and pointed to Huangfu Xue in a hurry and said, "This is my lady, if you have anything to do with him, I don't have any money." "What does it mean that the pot comes from the sky, Huangfu Xue has seen it today, she just passed by here, first she was almost knocked down by a drunk, and then she was falsely accused, is she good looking and bullied?

"I don't know him." Huang Fuxue turned her head to leave, and those people stopped Huang Fuxue, "You can't go." Who knows if you know each other or not, in short, if you don't see the money today, neither of you can leave. ”

"Why?" Huangfu Xue was directly angry and laughed by them, "What do you mean, don't you wait for who I pointed, who will stay and take the debt for him?" The person in the gambling house paused for a moment, and then resumed his unrelenting attitude again, "Anyway, I said, if you can't pay back today, none of you are allowed to leave." The people in the gambling house just said a few words back and forth, but Huang Fuxue could see it, no matter how she explained, as long as he didn't get the money, they wouldn't let him go. She had something to do later, and she couldn't stay here for long.

"Since you owe it at the table, you can win it back at the table." Huang Fuxue stepped forward, "What does he owe you money for?" ”

"Roll the dice." That is, the size ratio. This thing counts the money the fastest, and it will be possible to enter hundreds of taels in a while. He drank so much that he didn't even know how much he had lost. Huang Fuxue glanced at the man with disgust, and continued to say with dissatisfaction, "It's too troublesome to come one game at a time, how about the outcome of one game." If I win, let me go, his business has nothing to do with me, if I lose, I will help her pay back. ”

"Little girl, do you know how much she owes our Ninth Master?" This girl has a small yearbook, but her tone is not small. The man in the lead glanced at Huang Fuxue up and down, and some of the onlookers recognized her and shouted loudly, "Isn't this the owner of the sauce shop?" How could she be here, did she really know this drunk? ”

"Who knows. I heard that it is so. The person next to her echoed, "This girl is also a bold girl, she doesn't even ask how much money she owes to make a bet with the gambling house, she really has courage, if she loses, she doesn't know if she will regret it." Everyone said a word, there was a lot of discussion, Huangfu Xue was unmoved, staring straight at the people in the gambling house, waiting for them to make a final decision.

"What, you're afraid I'll pay the bill?" Turning his head and pointing at the people around him, "You heard what they just said." The best sauce shop in the capital is mine now, with this as collateral, are you willing to believe that I can repay his debts now? ”

"Okay, you said it yourself, don't regret it." The man suddenly smiled, turned his head and whispered a few words to the person next to him, the little guy turned around, and Huangfu Xue suddenly spoke, "Wait a minute, I don't believe in the dice in the gambling house." Be fair if you want to gamble. Huangfu Xue turned her head to look at everyone, "Which of you would like to help buy a pair of dice." I'll give you the money. Huangfu Xue took out a silver ingot, and when she saw that no one moved, she continued, "The rest will be used as errand fees." ”

A pair of dice is only how much, and this ingot of silver is at least five taels. There was not much work back and forth, everyone wanted to take over this errand, Huang Fuxue did not point to a random person, but chose an honest person to give him the silver and then found a place to sit down. An Mingchen saw this scene when he came over.

"What's going on here?" An Mingchen stepped forward to inquire, and after the person next to her told her, An Mingchen looked at Huangfuxue disapprovingly, she looks very smart on weekdays, why is she confused today, if this is a scam, in the end, the gambling house will not suffer a loss, but she will bear half of the risk, it doesn't hurt if she wins, in case she loses...... How about the lion opening their mouth at the end?

After thinking about it, An Mingchen hurriedly squeezed in, came to Huangfu Xue and reminded in a whisper, "Girl, why don't you ask how much money that drunk man owes, aren't you worried that they will wait for the lion to open his mouth?" ”、

"Don't worry." Huangfu Xue looked to the side calmly. An Mingchen saw that she didn't know the seriousness of the matter at all, and explained anxiously, "Such a deception has already appeared, and it is really reckless for you to bet with them without asking clearly, listen to it, take advantage of the gambling game to start, ask the person for the arrears, in case there are many ......"

"I'll just turn my face and deny it?" Huangfu Xue shook her head, "Have you ever thought that I can't hear the truth when I go to ask now." Seeing An Mingchen's face slightly gloomy, I knew that she was worried about herself, and I didn't know why she was suddenly a lot happier. Why can't you think about the good things, maybe I can win? ”
