The emperor waved his hand and motioned for his father-in-law to take him to the teahouse behind the side hall next door.

Cheng Ziyu, who had been kneeling for more than an hour, couldn't straighten her knees at all, and was almost pushed out by the palace maid.

The emperor and the courtiers looked at her back, each thoughtful......

"Does the emperor have any scruples because of General Li?"

"General Li is well aware of the righteousness, and has been loyal to the emperor for many years, if he knows that the person next to him has done treason against the enemy without him, he will only cut off the evil relationship with his own hands, and he will definitely not have a grudge against the emperor."

"That's not important, the main thing is that General Li is on the front line at the moment, if he knows that something is happening in the backyard, he is only afraid that it will mess up the morale and decision-making of the army."

"Didn't General Li enter the mountain? Anyway, we can't get in touch for the time being, as long as we hide the news from the guards, there will be no problem. ”

"How long can you hide it? With all due respect, if you really want to do something to the county lord and the Cheng family, you still have to cut through the mess quickly. Otherwise, it will not only damage the situation in the southwest, but also make all kinds of problems in the south of the Yangtze River unresolved, and on the contrary, the people over there will also be resentment and displeasure everywhere......"

The emperor hid the sneer on his lips, and actually took the awakening dew and sniffed it under his nose, showing his fatigue.

"Everyone, let's have a sip of tea first."

……

In the tea room, all the palace people retreated, leaving only Cheng Ziyu and the others.

When his father-in-law withdrew, he said that someone was guarding outside, and if there was a situation, he just called out.

Cheng Ziyu chuckled, and she didn't know if she was saying this to her or to Zhishu.

At this moment, she had too many questions, and she didn't know what to ask first.

Zhishu knelt down and kowtowed to her three times first.

Cheng Ziyu sideways to dodge.

"If you betray your faith, the three heads will be considered to have repaid the favor?"

Cheng Ziyu thinks that she treats her well. The four big girls not only rewarded the housekeepers every month, but she even took care of their families for many years. She didn't think she was sorry for them. She has never shirked anyone's family, as long as they speak, she has never slackened. Even so, people's hearts are still unpredictable.

"If you don't accept it, I'll kowtow these three too." Zhishu had tears in his eyes. "It's true that I can't live with you."

"'Me'? changed his name so quickly, and sure enough, he found a backer. Even the word "slave" is saved. Cheng Ziyu sneered. "Let me ask you first, is there anything I can't do with you?"

"Nope."

"Is there a feud between us that I don't know about?" Like Jin Yu.

"Nope."

"So, someone has to tempt you? Is that person Zhu Chang'an, or Zhu Changjue? ”

Zhishu got up and checked around the house, confirming that the small tea room was independent, there was no one in the house, and there was no possibility that anyone was staring outside, so he was relieved.

"Guess."

Her tears receded, and Cheng Ziyu smiled faintly. "That man was as good as he was, and knew that you would find an opportunity to ask me a question. In fact, according to the meaning of that person, I should say a few words, let you guess, let you hold back, and make you uncomfortable and tormented.

But I do feel guilty about you. I don't know if there will be a chance to repay the favor in the future, so I ask you for a favor, and I am willing to know everything about you at this time. Even if it's a return for the favor. Also, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will do my best to save your life. I will not forget the kindness of the Cheng family to me, and I will also help you keep your skills on well. ”

"Your face is so big. No one will pass on the skills of my Cheng family, and no one will pass on the white-eyed wolf. I advise you to wake up sooner, if you turn back now......"

"Purple Jade." Zhishu called him by his name. "I know why you're going to see me alone. In addition to trying to get something out of my mouth, you want to convince me, don't you? Let's be honest, I can tell you what you want to know, but don't even think about anything else. ”

There was no more respect in Zhishu's words, all the attitudes were equal, and there was no hesitation between words, Cheng Ziyu saw her resoluteness, so she retracted half of what she said. Well, there's no need for it.

"Sister Wen Wen and Third Uncle, it's your hands, right?"

"Hmm."

"How?" After receiving this affirmative reply, Cheng Ziyu still felt a throbbing pain in her heart.

I had long guessed that these things might be done by the inner ghost, but I never thought that it was Zhishu. Even if you go back to catch ghosts in the painting, you can't think that it is the handwriting of Zhishu, a powerful sister who gets along day and night, right?

"Sister Wenrou, it was my hands and feet that made her cough. That kind of disease is very stubborn, and if it is not cured in the first place, it will be very troublesome. At that time, Mrs. They were still in the capital and had not returned, Zi Yixuan was busy again, and Sister Wen Wen didn't care, it was the doctor I was looking for, so she mistakenly thought that it was just the most ordinary wind and cold, so the medicine was not right and delayed.

So by the time it was cured, the cough was already very serious.

Later, you invited a lot of famous doctors to no avail, do you know why? Because I've been doing tricks and feet in medicine. This is the reason why her illness has been good and bad. Sometimes there is something taboo in a certain recipe, and I will put something in her meal or tonic tea. Sometimes I would replace the medicine she drank with one or two herbs with diametrically opposite properties, and I would never know it.

I can't bear to keep calling her sister in the end. That's why I only make a move every time I see that she's getting better. That's why it's hard for you to get my hands on it. ”

"Sister Gentle...... Can it still be cured? ”

Zhishu hung his head.

"No more. That disease is domineering. It dragged on for too long, and it became a tuberculosis. And her body is too empty, she herself knows that she can't do it, in order not to worry you, she refused to enter Beijing for treatment a while ago. The medicine you gave was good, but it could only be delayed. Sooner or later. ”

"You're damned!"

"I really can't live with Sister Wenwen, I've been guilty for a long time. But if people don't kill the heavens and the earth for themselves, I can't control so much. I'm much more comfortable to be able to tell you at this moment.

In the future, when she is gone, I will take care of her family, set up a tablet in the temple for her to receive incense, give her excessive deeds, and beg her to have a good birth in the next life, and live a life of eating and drinking spicy food instead of such a hard life. ”

At this moment, the knowledge book was hopelessly in Cheng Ziyu's eyes, so she didn't even bother to curse.

"Where's my third uncle?"

"Cheng Ming, it's pretty much the same. He is a dead-hearted person, although he looks like a storm, but he is a first-class maintenance of the Cheng family. obviously doesn't know anything, but he can grit his teeth and learn seven or eight percent. Like Gentleness, if you want to drag the Cheng family into the mud, this person must move away.

But Wen Wen was drugged there, and it was not good to let Cheng Ming also fall ill, it would be too attention-grabbing. What if I bring you back? So...... I had to think of something else.

Originally, we didn't know how to start, but you just wanted everyone to be happy, and got the outer room and the children into the house. After seeing Cheng Ming so happy, with a smile on his face that we had never seen before, we also knew that he really cared.

Therefore, it can only be said that the outer room and the two children were unlucky and suffered from unjustified disasters. I led that son out to do it myself, so your people didn't find anything. The outer room can't hold up because of me, and Cheng Ming is sad and confused, where can he take care of the Cheng family......"

Zhishu looked at it with fluttering eyes, and there was no remorse at all.

"That's why you have to take responsibility for those three lives, who told you to get them to the Cheng family properly? If you hadn't been smart, I wouldn't have taken my life! ”

Cheng Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief, not wanting to answer her at all.

"Before entering the painting and returning to Jiangnan, there was no leader in the entire Cheng family, so you and my father were doing things, right? You're in charge of foreign affairs, and my dad is stealing in production? ”

"It's simple, I can tell you. Actually, after falling down from gentleness, the old man slowly stretched out his hand. It's just that the old man has been separated for a long time, and it is really unnoticeable. Occasionally, when you go out for tea, you also find an opportunity to avoid your eyeliner.

In this way, my master and I have the opportunity to go out, and we can often meet in the workshop, and it is not difficult for us to work together in the Cheng family to do something.

When Cheng Ming collapses again, the entire Cheng family will basically be the world of me and my master. Although you transferred the painting to Jingxi as soon as you received the news, the time spent on the road was enough for us to basically finish what we were going to do.

At that time, the old man wanted to take over the affairs of the Cheng family's workshop, but it was actually deliberate. Because we all know that you won't say yes, and neither will Madame. But although the Cheng family has a lot of affairs, there must always be someone who can call the shots. Madame is not proficient in craftsmanship, in fact, there is no good choice, so she can only choose from Ziyi Xuan.

So when I volunteered to ask Ying to go to the workshop and take charge of external affairs, my wife was very happy. Nodded almost without hesitation.

After all, after falling from Gentle, I was dealing with the top and bottom of Ziyi Xuan, and I did everything very well. And when you are in Jingxi, you also like to take me and into the painting by your side, I and into the painting can be more knowledgeable than the light snow and they have seen a lot. So Madame believed in me.

And ......"

Zhishu laughs. And, ironically, gentleness also recommended me. My care for her was not in vain, and she trusted me! The old man did not object, and Cheng Ming also nodded.

So, until the time I returned to the Cheng family after entering the painting, the whole Cheng family was under my control. And Zi Yixuan, I handed it over to Qingxue and them. Everyone is busy, who can control whom?

Oh, yes, and the people you arranged in the Cheng family, they all know that I am your confidant, they have always respected me very much, and they have also protected me more, every time I need something, they are more energetic than anyone else. And what kind of goods I want to ship, several times, they also helped load boxes of goods and asked me if I wanted to help escort it! What a joke! ”

Cheng Ziyu picked her palms and took a deep breath.

Who is to blame for the cost of misbelief?

After entering Jingxi, she was afraid that her father would not be willing to hand over power and let people stare at him, but her father had no complaints, not because he had changed his ways, but because he had completed his evil deeds and was waiting to see a good show.

Sure enough, the nature of the country is easy to change and difficult to change. After holding it for a long time, even if there are no external factors, no one will lead him to the crooked path, after Wen Rou and Cheng Ming fall, he will definitely not be able to sit still, and he will definitely seize the opportunity to come out and make a big fuss, right?

"What role did my dad play in your plans? What exactly did he do? This is also his means of revenge, right? ”

"Tell you, the mold of the pointing object was turned by the master himself. Pretty good, right? The lord has been dormant for a long time for this blow. He's so happy!

At that time, I took the drawings to the workshop and told them that this was another batch of pointers that the imperial court wanted. It is used by Kang Anbo to fight the Japanese invaders, it is absolutely secret, and it must be kept secret! No one dared to say a word more. Everyone hurried to catch up with the goods, and with the experience of the previous two batches of goods, this batch of goods with Japanese literature was completed in less than seven days! Hurry, right?

You know? Even Qingxue and they only privately guessed that this wolf pointing object was deliberately released by Kang Anbo to confuse the Japanese Kou, and they thought that the above points were all fake, you say, are they stupid? As for the subsequent shipment and transportation, it was also arranged by me. As long as the money is in place, as long as it is the normal procedure, from the steward to your people, who can find out? ”

Cheng Ziyu took a deep breath and once again forcibly suppressed the urge to go up and strangle Zhishu.

"What does my dad get?"

"Cheng family! The Cheng family in the future is his Cheng Rui's. The old man said, even if it is just a shell, even if he doesn't leave anything for him, he can prove himself, he can control you in the future, and he will be very satisfied. ”

The shell of the Cheng family, in the previous life, was left to Jin Yu and the Liao family. This life is really a copy of the previous life. They really took great pains to design it with the determination to make her suffocate to death!

"That's right. The old man asked me to bring you a message: You and the old man look down on him, how do you feel at this time? You and the old man would rather give away all the resources and silver to others than give him a little, have you ever regretted it at this moment? You treat him like that, don't you want to look down on him in the future?

The old man said that he would make you, the old man, all the He family, and all the Cheng family who looked down on him regret it. You have taken everything from him, and he will surely return. He asked you to take a good look at who the Cheng family belongs to in the near future, who is at the helm, and how it will be carried forward......"

"What about those things? How is it shipped out? How did it get into the hands of the Wakos? ”

"Have you forgotten that there is another family in the Jingxi Territory that has suffered but is on fire?"

Wei ...... The Wei family? Cheng Ziyu quickly thought of it.

"That's right. It's the Wei family. Wei Zhixian was implicated because of King Jue, and the Wang family was dragged to fall out with them again, and Wei Zhixian's hatred was like a surging river.

After being mixed in the Jingxi realm for decades, there are more or less connections, so it's not difficult to hide people's eyes and take some goods out, right? After King Jue fell, Wei Zhixian was held accountable and lost his official position, and your people finally withdrew from Wei Zhixian's side. What does he want to do? He's sent the goods out to sea! ”

Cheng Ziyu opened her mouth.

She had never understood what Wei Zhixian could do for Zhu Changjue. At the moment, even if Wei Zhixian fell, he still helped Zhu Changjue. But if ...... If Wei Zhixian was still in office at the moment, their attack power this time would be many times greater, right? So should the Cheng family have been taken down by the government and forcibly spilled sewage a long time ago?

She seemed to get it.

In fact, Zhu Changjue has always been in the Jiangnan layout, right? There should be many people like Wei Zhixian, so from Shantang to the dam, even the Liangjiang Yamen has his people, so it is so difficult to withstand when launching a fierce attack. He had already found a way back.

He knew that the emperor hated him, and that he had no hope of ascending the throne by normal means. Even after he almost knocked down the crown prince with an assassination that day, the emperor still didn't think highly of him, but increased his strength to support Queen Zhe, and probably he had already made up his mind to turn it back.

That's where his defection came in.

"Zhu Changjue also colluded with the Japanese Kou?" No wonder the Japanese are so violent, no wonder the Japanese are so bold, no wonder the Japanese are coming at the time of internal and external troubles.

What is he going to do with the Wokos? Or did you exchange some terms with the Japanese Kou?

Cheng Ziyu doesn't understand, what is Zhu Changjue's next step?

He didn't want to use the power of pirates to help him conquer the world? Isn't that hilarious?

If a person who takes one step and counts ten steps, if he wants to defeat him, the best way to minimize the loss is to recognize him first. Cheng Ziyu felt that her brain was too messy and there were too many clues, and she urgently needed to sort out and think.

Also, Zhu Changjue is a meticulous person. Now, with all these secrets, how can they allow all the knowledge to come in? They were not afraid to convince the emperor themselves? Are they not afraid that they will deal with it after the leak? So, this is another conspiracy? Want to drag yourself into the ditch?

Zhishu is shaking his head. "Maybe. I don't know that. But I'll tell you, Wei Hong, she's so stupid, her father called her back three months ago, and she didn't come back, and she was still waiting for King Jue to return in the capital, stupid or not! If she had come back obediently, she would have followed King Jue a long time ago. ”

"So, are you playing for Zhu Changan or Zhu Changjue?"

Cheng Ziyu was a little confused. thought that Zhu Changan was standing behind Zhishu, but she even knew so much about Zhu Changjue's plan......

"Didn't I let you guess, you try again, and I'll give you a reward if you guess correctly."

Cheng Ziyu sneered, so at this moment, not only does he have to be played by the white-eyed wolf he raised, but he also wants to hope that the wolf he raised will reveal as much value as possible?

"You already knew I was going to talk to you?"

"Yes, because the man knows you. Because the man wants me to see your pain clearly, and then I can go back and tell him how bad you are. So, I'm here to answer your questions! You have a lot of questions, you have to hurry. ”

This answer, this rhetoric, made Cheng Ziyu think of Steward Zhang that day, and it was the same thing, the same expression of looking at his own show. So......

"It's Zhu Changan, right?"

The corners of Zhishu's lips hooked, and he didn't deny it.

Sure enough, it was him.

Cheng Ziyu was uncomfortable because the cooperation between Zhu Changan and Zhu Changjue had reached this point, but she was only sure of it today.

"Do you remember the four clam light bottles that you made for Mrs. Lin at the beginning last June and were later broken? Later, similar imitations appeared on the market, and you were still thinking at the time, you obviously smashed them to pieces, how can anyone imitate them so well? Remember? ”

Cheng Ziyu was stunned again.

I remembered it, the day ...... In order to arrange the westward journey, she smashed the birthday gift bottle that Mrs. Lin had customized and had been fired. In order not to let the debris flow out, she specially instructed that day that it must all be smashed into powder, and she arranged for Zhishu to do it.

"I didn't smash them all, but took some pieces to the master, and that's my vote."

"What else?" Cheng Ziyu once again suppressed the urge to strangle Zhishu to death.

"Let me ask you, do you remember the letter he sent you on the day of your wedding, mentioning his wedding to you? You probably never guessed what that gift was, right? ”

"What is it?" This one has indeed always been on her mind.

"In fact, that day was the day of tenderness and sickness. That is the day when the master's revenge on you begins. I can't get close to you, so I choose to start with the people around you.

He knows that you value gentleness, so he wants you to always remember that the day you got married, the happiest day, was the day when gentleness fell because you slowly fell. He wants you to remember that the most important day of your life is the day when all the people you care about begin to fall because of you. He wants you, and what he regrets most in the future is your marriage to Li Chun. He wants you not to even think about your wedding.

Ye said, even if he loses, you and Li Chun will not be happy in the future. You can't laugh until the third day of the third month of March, and you will live in pain for the rest of your life.

By the way, I heard that He Sijing was also guided to make friends with Bao Gongzi on the day of your wedding, but you are still clever, but you helped Hongyu basically avoid a blow. Otherwise, your sister and He Sijing will be separated first, and He Sijing and you will get into a lawsuit again, it will be your mother, and your grandmother will have to fall one by one.

In fact, the original master also prepared some other means, but your luck is good, due to the change in Beijing, King Jue fell too quickly, so there are still many plans tailored for you that have not yet had time to be implemented.

So you don't have to blame me, in fact, without me there would be others. Who called you a thorn in the side of so many people?

It's just that I don't understand, Ye is so powerful, why do you always look down on him, don't look down on him, where is he worse than Li Chun? If you had accepted him earlier, wouldn't you have had these things? So if you want to blame, you can only blame yourself. ”

"You ...... When was this? ”

A soft smile finally appeared on Zhishu's face.

"Early, very early, earlier than you and Ye met. I met him by chance on the mountain, and I fell in love at first sight. The words in the book 'Childe is unparalleled in the world', and it is written about him. It's like the clouds are clearing, and I immediately understand what I want.

No matter how many books I read or how beautiful I wrote, I couldn't compare to his smile. Do you understand?

I like him, even if it's just watching him watch him from afar.

So, I was very happy when my father was interested in you, and I thought you would definitely follow him. I'm all set. If you follow him, I will be relieved. As long as I can see him all the time, I'm satisfied. But I don't understand why you are so hostile to him, you refuse to give him even the slightest chance, and always arrange for him to frame him and plot against him......"

Cheng Ziyu remembered.

Zhishu did mention that King An was good several times, and she also questioned her own actions against Zhu Changan, and later after she and Li Chun settled down, she seemed to have persuaded herself. She has always disliked Li Chun, and she has a faint malice, so the reason is here.

……
