Chapter 20: June Snow's Fury

"I've finished listening to the story, and I've done the errand for you, what are you doing here?"

"Auntie's words are strange, obviously the two of us are mutually beneficial, how can it be said that it is a one-sided help?"

“……”

Xi Yue stared at the kraft candy-like Zhiwei with a cold face, feeling a headache for the first time in decades.

She began to regret that she didn't sleep in the middle of the night last night and wandered outside, she knew that she would not be able to sleep and would open her eyes on the hardwood board until dawn, and she would not be caught by such a kraft candy.

However, this kraft candy seems to be a little weird, and she can actually guess her true thoughts when she stays in this cold palace-like ghost place......

"If you are really so powerful, you can guess my mind with a few fingers, why do you still want to ask me about that little girl?"

Zhi Wei glanced at the pot of bluegrass on Aunt Xi Yue's windowsill with wandering eyes, and cleared her throat.

"I've just heard a little bit about this. Since my aunt has already put life and death aside, why should she keep her mouth shut about the dead? Isn't it good to be a good person, maybe there will be a place for use in the future? ”

Aunt Xi Yue's face sank, but she really opened the conversation.

"Xin'er's girl was poisoned, and that day, a palace man came to talk to her......"

After Zhao Jiufu listened to Wang Dexi's report, his fat face, which was kind in the past, also wrinkled.

"Is the news accurate?"

Wang Dexi said: "It couldn't be more accurate, but the apprentice tried his best to knock on the old palace man's mouth." She has an innocent background, there is no family outside the palace, there is no old master in the palace, and there is no godson and daughter, this kind of person can't be used by ordinary people, the master can rest assured~"

Thinking of the name of the palace person just reported by Wang Dexi, Zhao Jiufu felt very big.

Entering the hall, looking at Huo Yanzhi, who was struggling to write, he couldn't open his mouth, and only thought about it silently.

It wasn't until an hour later that Huo Yanzhi got up with a sad face and stretched his waist, that he gritted his teeth and was ruthless, and came up to give an honest reply.

Huo Yanzhi's already bad face was even worse.

"The personal palace maid was poisoned in the Huanyi Bureau? Which palace is the palace man? ”

Zhao Jiufu wiped his sweat weakly: "Back to the master, yes, it's Lan Ying, the second-class palace person of Kunxu Palace...... In addition, the two little masters who lived in the Phixiang Hall with Sun Cainu were Tang Baolin and Fang Yunu, and they didn't seem to have a deep friendship with Sun Cainu. After Concubine Niangniang gave birth, Fang Yunu was beaten into the cold palace, and she should have nothing to do with Sun Cainu's death...... As for Tang Baolin, His Majesty sealed the harem a few years ago and was promoted to a first-class talent. Last year, the snow was heavy on a winter night, and the beams of the Phixiang Palace collapsed, and it happened that the lady concubine was happy again, and wanted to be clean, so the queen made the decision to let Tang Cairen move to the side hall of Jingren Palace......"

Huo Yanzhi's face was so dark that he could drip water, and he was a little dazed when he heard it.

"Queen? What does it have to do with her? Why would she do it? ”

There seemed to be a voice in his heart prompting him: Can't you guess?

The queen has been married to him for three years, and her stomach has not moved. In the first year of the election, today's Concubine Xian and Li Jieyu are pregnant successively, and when Concubine Xian gave birth to the eldest princess, Concubine Shu also had happy events. At this time, if a little girl is also pregnant, it is normal for the queen to be unable to sit still......

Could it be that it was really like what Concubine Shu had hinted at him in the past, that it was the queen who made a move on Concubine Shu's child, as well as Sun Cainu......

No, no, if it was the queen's hand, then how could it be buried in the peony garden of Shangyang Palace?

Who the hell did all that dirty stuff?

Huo Yanzhi's mind was in a mess, half of it was the state affairs of the floods in the south and the displacement of refugees, and half of it was filled with the faces of the queen, the concubine, and Sun Cainu, and countless pictures flashed through his mind, and he couldn't concentrate at all.

"Shhhh

Zhao Jiufu said in a panic: "Your Majesty, but your head hurts again?" The slave maid went to call the imperial doctor......"

Huo Yanzhi shouted to him: "No need! Wan Imperial Doctor can't see anything when he comes over, every time it's the same old saying, and it's in vain to see it! Bring the ointment and press it on my head. ”

Zhao Jiufu worriedly pinched his master's head, and when he saw that he was beginning to close his eyes and recuperate, he tucked the quilt for him and retreated.

What he didn't know was that as soon as he walked with his front foot, Huo Yan opened his eyes with his back foot and sighed at the 10,000-year-old green on the side of the collapse.

"Xiaoqing, what the hell do you say is going on?"

Wan Nianqing ignored him, but he still grabbed a leaf and shook it, before he snorted vaguely.

"Nasty! The Dog Emperor lets go of my leaves! ”

Huo Yanzhi woke people up, he didn't feel guilty at all, he saw these little things sleeping from morning to night every day, and his life was much more leisurely than that of a bitter emperor, so it was strange that he was not jealous!

"Don't sleep, if you sleep again, I'll have someone pour hot water on you tomorrow." Come and help me analyze ......"

After listening to the cause and effect, Wan Nianqing yawned and said, "Oh, that's it, isn't it very simple?" You go to Shangyang Palace and ask those peonies, isn't it over? ”

Huo Yanzhi hesitated: "This ...... If I ask, doesn't it mean that I don't believe in Concubine Shu? She has lost a child, and now she is still pregnant with my royal son......"

Wan Nianqing said impatiently: "Didn't you find someone to investigate privately?" How is this calculated? ”

Huo Yanzhi's face turned red, and he continued to stiffen his mouth: "How can this be the same?" I'm afraid that there will be a misunderstanding in the middle, so I can't rush to confront her, otherwise it will hurt her heart, and pregnant women are the most afraid of joy and sorrow, and it is not good for the emperor's heir......"

Wan Nianqing shook the branches and leaves, and somehow, it made him think of a person shaking goosebumps, so he was even more uncomfortable.

"Since you've said so, keep looking, what else is there to ask me? Sleep, don't make noise with me, stupid emperor. ”

Huo Yanzhi was so angry that he grinded his teeth.

How dare you be so perfunctory!

If it weren't for the fact that this little guy was quite pleasing to him when he wasn't getting out of bed, he would definitely have someone find scissors and cut it to a pulp!

Huo Yanzhi was unhappy, and he didn't want others to be happy.

So, he threw the burden of thinking to Zhao Jiufu very simply, and directly made a nonsense reason, saying that there was news that Sun Cainu was pregnant before her death, but there is no relevant record in the history of Tong. After shocking Zhao Jiufu, he directly asked him to continue to investigate secretly.

The next morning, after the next court, Huo Yanzhi killed a horse pistol, wanting to scare the old men in the cabinet, and by the way, see if they were lazy, and if they could find a name to reprimand him, and let out the evil anger in his heart.

Huo Yanzhi took the light car and took Zhao Jiufu alone to the door of the political affairs hall.

It's a pity that the stealth treatment he can enjoy in the inner palace is not popular here, and there are a lot of people coming and going in the cabinet, although he changed into his regular clothes, he was still recognized by a young servant.

After the mountain call was long lived, Huo Yanzhi could only be greeted by everyone stupidly.

The cabinet chief assistant is a little strange, why did the emperor suddenly come over today?

Under his implicit inquiry, Huo Yanzhi did not show timidity, held up the emperor's majesty and shelf, expressed his concern for the victims in the south, and felt very sad for the invasion of the Di people in northern Xinjiang, and wanted to discuss countermeasures with you Aiqing in private.

A few people in the cabinet are even more confused, it stands to reason that if they want to discuss matters with them in private, the emperor can recruit them to the Qinzheng Palace, and they don't have to come to the small side hall of the outer court in person.

Shousuke felt a thrill in his heart, and suddenly thought of a new possibility.

"Could it be that Your Majesty is suspicious of us? Deliberately came to find out the truth? ”

As a result, Shoufu's response became more conservative and cautious, resulting in Huo Yanzhi not being able to say anything.

Huo Yanzhi sneered at the old fox in his heart, and was about to leave with great interest, but his ears suddenly moved, and his eyes fell on the small pot of June snow in front of the first auxiliary book.

Looking at the past from Shoufu's point of view, Huo Yanzhi looked like a thick stack of folds next to June Snow, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Ahem, in the case of Jiangnan disaster relief, the old minister and your colleagues will draw up a suitable candidate today...... As for the northern frontier, the Qin general should be old and strong, the Qin prince is still young, the Beidi people are not settled, this plunder is just a custom, not to be afraid, the old minister thinks, there is no need to rush to increase troops for the time being...... Does Your Majesty have any other commands? ”

Shoufu felt that his words were not leaky, and his expression was calm and impeccable, and the emperor should not be able to find any fault.

However, what surprised him a little was that Huo Yanzhi turned his head to look at him and suddenly looked a little more strange, and he was a little weak-hearted.

The monarchs and ministers looked at each other, and in the end, it was Huo Yanzhi who chuckled, breaking this strange tranquility.

"Okay, with Guo Shoufu here, I don't have to worry a lot about it. Aiqing are busy, I'm back. ”

After Huo Yanzhi walked away, everyone looked at each other.

Although the second assistant is eyeing the position of the first assistant and the relationship has always been discordant, at this moment, he also smiled and started a language lawsuit with the first assistant, wanting to talk from the mouth of the first assistant and guess the meaning behind the emperor's exceptional visit today.

Guo Shoufu smiled, and returned to the back of the bookcase with a mysterious and unpredictable expression of "Buddha said it can't be said".

When everyone was in their places, and their eyes were no longer focused on him, he steadily pulled out a book from the pile of folds and scanned it again at a glance.

In the mezzanine of the drawer below, an open red lacquered letter was lying quietly in the dark.

“…… Thanks to the mercy of the teacher, this Jiangnan disaster ......"

All the way back to Qiande Palace, waving off Zhao Jiufu and other idle people, Huo Yanzhi was so angry that he slapped the table hard.

"Guo Yi! How dare he - bastard thing! It's bold! Get away with murder! Simply, this throne is ready for him to sit on! ”

Thinking of the secret he had just "eavesdropped" in the political hall, Huo Yanzhi was so angry that he wanted to cut people.

He paced back and forth in the hall twice with his hands behind his back, his face finally eased a little, and he immediately called Zhao Jiufu in.

"Go, summon King Xin into the palace, quietly, don't alarm people!"

Zhao Jiufu was about to leave, but Huo Yanzhi changed his mind again: "Wait, let's not call it first, you send a message to the palace, just say that the queen mother has been unhappy recently, and let him visit the palace tomorrow." ”

Zhao Jiufu was a little confused, but he still did what he said.

"I always feel that Your Majesty has been a little strange lately, although he is busy with political affairs, he won't be absent for so long, right? But every time I asked if I wanted to turn over the cards, His Majesty's face was a little ...... Afraid? I should have read it wrong, it must be so, how could Your Majesty be afraid. A few days ago, I invited Jia Baolin to accompany His Majesty to dinner, and the atmosphere was obviously quite harmonious, but I don't know what His Majesty thought, so he sent people back like this. Alas, it will be like this in a few days, and it is estimated that the imperial dining room will have to be filled with more tonic medicinal food......"

He was muttering in his heart, and he saw Wang Dexi coming over with a calm face from a distance.

"Master, things are a little brow-raising. That Lan Ying seems to have a fellow countryman, named Mei'er, who is serving beside Tang Cairen. Do you think it would be—"

Zhao Jiufu glanced at him: "What should be said and what should not be said, didn't I teach you before?" In public, beware of misfortune coming out of your mouth! ”

Wang Dexi belched, scratched his head again, and said, "By the way, there is another thing I forgot to tell you yesterday." Well, that's what the girl Zhiwei said, Xin'er seems to have mentioned it to Aunt Xi Yue, saying that her master died because of her timidity, and the others didn't say anything. I thought, this is not a big deal, there are more people who have died silently in this deep palace, except for the unlucky ghosts, are they cowards? So that's it...... Eh, master, where are you going? ”

Zhao Jiufu hated and scolded the little rabbit cub in his heart, and he walked quickly, for fear that he would provoke His Majesty's anger if he reported later.
