Chapter 172
Within two days, Ye Zhiqing met Guo Siqing in the Chengqian Palace. γFengyun Reading Network. She was sent by the queen along with another girl called Yang Shuyi, but she was worried about the saint's body, and selected two show girls to come and wait for the saint.
When Guo Siqing and Yang Shuyi knelt in the dormitory and kowtowed to the saint, Ye Zhiqing was by the side, waiting for the saint to drink the decoction.
This situation is somewhat similar to the day she went to the middle palace to meet the queen for the first time, but the two sides are reversed. The two girls kneeling at the bottom are dressed like flowers and willows, which is also pleasing to the eye.
The saint held a book in his hand, leaned on the couch, and could not hear the joy or anger: "The queen sent you to serve me?" β
The two of them didn't dare to come out, and their heads were eager to stick to the floor tiles: "Yes!" β
The sage said: "In this case, I will be named a picker, and I will serve in the palace." I don't know if he was intentional or unintentional, but he said: "Doctor Ye, I don't know what else I have to pay attention to?" β
Ye Zhiqing saw him asking, so she stubbornly said: "Your Majesty, there is nothing left and right for the two pickers, but Your Majesty's dragon body has not healed, and there are still taboos on women's heads." β
When Guo Siqing heard this familiar voice, a thought suddenly popped up in her heart: she must have done it on purpose! Deliberately!
They were sent by the queen to serve the saints in bed, otherwise would it be difficult for them to serve tea and water?
Originally, she was excited that she was selected by the queen to be sent to the Chengqian Palace, and she was also top-notch among the show girls who entered the palace at the same time, and she could sleep so quickly, but she didn't expect a sentence surnamed Ye, and she wanted to cut off her Qingyun Road, which was really the nemesis of her life, extremely vicious!
But there was no place for her to speak in the Chengqian Palace, so she could only hear the saint laugh and say, "I have written it down!" Then he instructed Hu Yan to arrange a place for the two to live: "Since it is recommended by the queen, it is very appropriate to come, so stay and wait for tea." β
The newly crowned Guo Cainu and Yang Cainu, who knelt down, kowtowed to thank him, and followed Hu Yan lightly and retreated. When he was about to leave the palace gate, Guo Siqing quietly glanced back, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
The old man sitting on the couch was dressed in apricot huÑng sè clothes, and his beard and hair were dyed with frost.
All her expectations for the future were originally tied to such a half-hundred-year-old man, even if he was the lord of the world and looked at all directions, he was still soaked in the wind and frost of the years, and he was already in his last years.
Guo Siqing couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.
In the Chengqian Palace, after the two pickers went out, Emperor Wei said: "Ye, even the queen knows that you have done a good job in conditioning my body, and if you give you clothes and jewelry, then I will be even more rewarded." Don't know what you want? β
The sage had already known from Tong Wenyi that she was Zhou Hong's confidante, otherwise a wise woman like her, who was good at medicine and had no roots, could stay by her side and wait.
Ye Zhiqing has been in the palace for a long time, just waiting for today's question. Hearing the words of the sage, he immediately put the decoction on the small table on the couch, and knelt down a few steps back: "As a citizen of the Great Wei, the people's daughter should also take care of His Majesty, and she should not expect the sage to reward her." Just ......"
The saint was still wondering how he would respond if she asked for amnesty for Zhou Qianke. was thinking about it, but she didn't expect her to say: "The people's daughter only asks the sage to allow the salt gang witnesses brought by the people's daughter to clear Zhou's grievances when the three divisions are interrogated!" β
"Witnesses?"
"Your Majesty! At the beginning, Lord Zhou caught the salt lord Gong Jiang and the rest of the leaders of the salt gang in Lianghuai, and examined the main envoy of smuggling salt and the route of salt trafficking, which was the most deeply involved in Qiao Liping, the salt envoy of Lianghuai. But later, when the testimony and the prisoners went north, they were ambushed in the river, and all the prisoners of the Salt Gang died, and only Qiao Liping survived. It was claimed that it was attacked, but as far as the people know, this is not true! β
"The truth?"
Unconsciously, the atmosphere in the hall was stagnant, and Emperor Wei sat up with a solemn expression.
Ye Zhiqing raised her head and looked directly into the eyes of the sage, and spoke loudly: "The fact is that the officers and soldiers who went to escort the suspect at that time were acquaintances with Qiao Liping, and they executed the suspect of the Salt Gang privately. Seeing that the situation was not good, Gong Jiang, the leader of the Salt Gang, jumped into Jiangxin to flee for his life, pretended to be a beggar and returned to Yangzhou, and hid in the people's hospital. After Lord Zhou was locked up, the folk girl went north to save people, and brought Gong Jiang and the newly found Yan Gang witness to Beijing as domestic servants! β
Emperor Wei's eyes turned fierce: "Ye family, do you know how much storm your words will set off in the court?" He looked directly at Ye Zhiqing, obviously angry: "You mean that the people I sent out committed suicide by committing suicide, and they are involved in the sale of illicit salt?" β
Ye Zhiqing only felt cold sweat on her back under his forced gaze, as if she was careless, and her head might be unsafe in the next sentence. But at this moment, she has no way out. can enter the palace to regulate the saint's body, and the only thought he holds is to save Zhou Hong.
"Your Majesty, what the people said is true!"
Emperor Wei snorted coldly: "If you take back Fang Cai, just if you don't say anything, I will reward you with gold and silver to ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life!" Otherwise...... Beware of your life! β
