Chapter 552: Storytelling

"Why do you see me like that?" Shao Nanchu was stared at inexplicably by Bai Qiuluo's gaze, and asked in the next moment.

Bai Qiuluo slipped out of his arms and sat up, and asked with a serious face, "How do you know so much?" The emperor's thoughts and what he wants to do, these are the secrets of the secrets, how do you know? ”

Facing Bai Qiuluo's question, Shao Nanchu was dumbfounded for a moment.

He had always been defenseless against her.

So I didn't think too much about it when I talked to her, I just wanted to make her feel at ease, and not to be so scared.

But she didn't want to, she wasn't panicking, but as soon as she came to her senses, she found his omission.

Shao Nanchu had a headache, but he didn't mean to lie to her.

If he says that he will be honest with each other, then he will not deliberately deceive.

"I am the emperor's confidant, I just met the emperor before I came to see you, and when I came out of the palace, the emperor ordered me to secretly investigate the affairs of the secret forces." Shao Nanchu explained lightly.

In fact, nothing was said much.

At least he didn't tell Bai Qiuluo that the hidden force was related to the last time Shan Zhenxing returned to China in a hurry, and directly told her that there was a traitor at the border, and he didn't tell her that it was Song Zhiqiu, who was injured by that force, and almost killed him, let alone told her that that force was also related to Old Man Bai being framed and living in Jiangnan.

There are limits to the so-called honesty and honesty.

It is enough to tell Bai Qiuluo about something and make her feel at ease.

As for more details, it is complicated to say, he will not say, he believes in Bai Qiuluo's intelligence, and he will not ask more.

In fact, Bai Qiuluo didn't think of a deeper place either.

She was already extremely shocked just by hearing that Shao Nanchu was the emperor's confidant.

"How so? Didn't you just hang up an idle post as the imperial history of the second grade inspectorate, and didn't care about anything? Why did he suddenly become the emperor's confidant? ”

When Shao Nan first saw her stunned appearance with her mouth wide open, a shallow smile couldn't help but appear in her eyes.

Raised his hand and rubbed her head, chuckling: "Do you remember the right of the inspector to the imperial history?" ”

"Ping Su has no real power, but he has the right to supervise hundreds of officials, but he has the right to report directly to the emperor ...... hundreds of officials," Bai Qiuluo suddenly paused when he said this.

I suddenly understood.

This right seems to be empty, there is no actual right, and there are not a few brain-dead people who will report hundreds of officials at will, but how wide is this scope?

Most importantly, doesn't this represent the emperor's trust? It is a great honor to be able to directly communicate with the emperor directly by leapfrogging the level.

If a person with an improper mind has such a right, and the emperor trusts and listens to him, then what will happen to the court at that time?

If the person with such rights is not the emperor's confidant, then who is?

"But ......"

"But others think that I have no real power, and they don't value me very much, but they don't offend me easily?" Shao Nanchu took her words.

Bai Qiuluo nodded silently.

That's right, that's what she wanted to ask.

After all, with that right on the surface, isn't it obvious that Shao Nanchu has been encircled in the emperor's camp? How could any fool think that he had no rights at all?

Shao Nanchu smiled low and said, "Maybe they think I have no real power, and I have never reported others, and the emperor has never listened to me, so they despise me." ”

Bai Qiuluo: "......"

Heheda, she believes that when the matter is finally exposed, those who think that Shao Nanchu is not important will definitely regret it.

But when she thought of this, she remembered another thing.

She hurriedly asked, "What about Zhuang Jingcheng?" You won't be with him because of the emperor's orders, right? You don't show that you're friends with him, secretly trying to harm him, right? ”

Bai Qiuluo was a little nervous.

She and Shao Nanchu are lovers, Zhuang Jingcheng is Su Jinhan is lover, originally Shao Nanchu and Zhuang Jingcheng are friends, she and Su Jinhan are friends, which is quite perfect.

But if Shao Nanchu and Zhuang Jingcheng were friends not out of sincerity, but to spy on him and complete the emperor's task, then what should she and Jinhan do?

She couldn't face Jin Han at all.

Shao Nan glanced at her at the beginning, and most of them understood what was going on in her mind.

Stretched out his hand and poked her head, and said angrily: "Does your man seem to be the kind of person who does not compromise means?" Who said that I can't be friends with Zhuang Jingcheng because I am the emperor's confidant? ”

Bai Qiuluo covered his forehead and muttered, "I thought you were sent by the emperor to spy on him." ”

As he spoke, he was a little worried.

"But since you didn't approach Zhuang Jingcheng because of the emperor's instructions, then you are the emperor's henchman, but you helped Zhuang Jingcheng to win the heir, if the emperor knew about it, wouldn't you be very dangerous?"

As the so-called one minister does not matter to the two masters, although Shao Nanchu and Zhuang Jingcheng are just friends, but Shao Nanchu also helped Zhuang Jingcheng when he had an accident, if the emperor knows, it is understandable to punish him.

"No, it won't. First of all, my relationship with Zhuang Jingcheng is just a friend, not a lord and servant, I don't interfere in his affairs on weekdays, and only when he has an accident or he asks me for help, I will take action as appropriate. Besides, it doesn't matter if the emperor knows that Zhuang Jingcheng and I are close friends. Shao Nanchu thought of the emperor's reaction when he mentioned Zhuang Jingcheng, and squinted his eyes slightly.

"Why doesn't it matter? Doesn't the emperor dislike King Jing very much? Do you stumble on him everywhere? Isn't Zhuang Jingcheng the most unfavored prince? If the emperor knows that his henchmen are involved with him," Bai Qiuluo asked repeatedly.

"Silly girl, there are two sides to everything, and what is superficial is a lie." Shao Nanchu said lightly.

In fact, Shao Nanchu was also a member of the deceived past.

If it weren't for his carefulness, and the development of things made the emperor unable to hide his concern and concern for Zhuang Jingcheng, I am afraid he would still be kept in the dark.

"Nan Chu, tell me quickly, what's going on, I want to know." Bai Qiuluo pulled his hand and shook it, looking at him with blank eyes.

She understood what he said, it was nothing more than saying that the emperor's bad treatment of Zhuang Jingcheng was fake, in fact, this bad was to protect him, and the emperor cared about him.

This made Bai Qiuluo, who had subverted her cognition, very curious, and she wanted to know the answer as soon as she was curious, so naturally she would ...... Stalking!

Shao Nan first saw her look like a curious baby, thought about it, and finally decided to satisfy her curiosity.

"Do you know Jing Cheng's mother, Concubine Li?" Shao Nanchu asked.

"I don't know." Bai Qiuluo shook his head decisively.

She is a traverser, although she has saved Zhuang Jingcheng's life, and she is also curious about Zhuang Jingcheng because of Su Jinhan, but how long has she been in the capital, how can she know about Zhuang Jingcheng's mother? That must have been at least a decade or twenty years ago.

Shao Nanchu naturally knew that Bai Qiuluo would not know about Zhuang Jingcheng's mother, so he asked casually.

So after Bai Qiuluo answered, Shao Nanchu took the initiative to talk about cause and effect.

"Zhuang Jingcheng's mother, Concubine Li, was a famous beauty in the capital back then, she had both ability and political integrity, and was unparalleled in beauty, and she was the dream object of countless talented people in the capital."

"She and the emperor met at a poetry meeting, when the two each wrote a poem, the artistic conception and prose were not distinguished, tied for the first place, which aroused each other's curiosity, and later the two fell in love at first sight."

At that time, the emperor had ascended the throne, and there were queens and concubines in the harem, and after hearing that the two were in love, the emperor informed Concubine Li's identity, but Concubine Li reluctantly wanted to separate from the emperor. Later, the emperor took the opportunity of the draft to summon Concubine Li into the palace. ”

"At that time, Concubine Li was the concubine of the prime minister, and all the concubines of officials above the seventh rank were going to participate in the draft, so Concubine Li couldn't escape, so she could only enter the palace. After that, Concubine Li was favored, and the emperor almost abandoned the entire harem for Concubine Li. He no longer went to the palace of the queen and other concubines to spend the night, nor did he call other concubines to sleep, and stayed in Concubine Li's palace all night. ”

Bai Qiuluo suddenly gasped when he heard this.

"I'm afraid this emperor is not a fool, right? Even if you like Concubine Li, you have to consider her safety, there are concubines in this harem, and she doesn't do any superficial work, is this a favorite concubine or a harm to Concubine Li? ”

Shao Nan was helpless when he heard this.

This girl, with her unbridled nonsense, can the emperor arrange it at will?

Although he also thinks the emperor is stupid......

So later the emperor paid the price. I heard that Concubine Li had a miscarriage more than once when she was pregnant, and she almost went when she gave birth to Ah Cheng, and it was the emperor who spent a lot of effort to save her. Later, Concubine Li has been frail, but with the emperor's favor, the life of the mother and son is also good. ”

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, when Ah Cheng was eight years old, his mother was dirty red apricot out of the wall, and the emperor saw her hugging the guards with her own eyes. The emperor was immediately furious, and sent Concubine Li into the cold palace. At the same time, Concubine Li's father, the prime minister at the time, was also reported to be disobedient, and evidence was attached, and the hundred officials asked the emperor to dispose of him. ”

"The emperor can only order the prime minister's house to be raided, and all relevant personnel will be imprisoned. Later, the cold palace went away, Concubine Li died, and the Xiangfu was also assigned to the frontier and never returned. It wasn't until he had his own opportunities and became strong that his life was better. ”

"But he can endure it, pretending to be a wanderer, and has escaped many persecutions from the queen and the prince, and of course, the emperor does not value him."

After Bai Qiuluo listened, he looked at him incredulously and said, "Just like that, do you still think that the emperor likes Zhuang Jingcheng?" Snubbing him to protect him? Nanchu, you ......, "Your brain is not sick!" A few words, she couldn't hold back.

Where could Shao Nanchu not understand her, and glanced at her lightly: "Don't think I don't know that you orchestrate me in your heart." ”

Bai Qiuluo: "......"

This world is so dangerous, lovers have mind reading skills, how to break it if there is no secret?
