Chapter 173: Clever Tricks
Beijing.
Forbidden city.
Cining Palace.
The time of the application.
The Empress Dowager sat on the kang and rubbed the Buddhist beads in her hand, occasionally looked back at the glass window facing south, and sighed: "The sky is getting longer and longer, this is the hour, and the day is still high." ”
Aunt Su Mala was sewing something on the side, looked up at the palace maid next to her, the palace maid immediately went out and brought a cup of tea in, Aunt Su Mala put the needle in her hand in the basket, and wiped the sweat on her hands with a hand towel, Fang took the teacup and presented it to the Queen Mother, and said: "Isn't it, the dawn is early, and one day is two days." ”
The Empress Dowager sighed softly: "I'm old, you're old, you're old, you don't think about eating, drinking, or dressing, and you're idle all day long, it's really not interesting." ”
Aunt Su Mala hurriedly said: "Lafayette is not idle, Lafayette is a mountain behind Long Live Lord." ”
The Empress Dowager smiled, a little bitter: "The emperor is old and capable, I don't want to be his backer, I'm just worried about his body, and I'm afraid that people will say I'm worrying blind." ”
She said and took a sip of tea, Su Malagu took it and put it on the kang table, and said: "Holy bow, Lafayette relaxes, and besides, Long live the Lord to urinate and be close to Lafayette, there will never be those nonsense thoughts." ”
The Empress Dowager bowed: "I know, it's someone else." ”
The bead curtain sounded slightly, and a palace maid came in and bowed to the Empress Dowager: "Empress Dowager Qiqi, the blue wolf is back." ”
The Empress Dowager and Su Malagu looked at each other, and the Empress Dowager raised her chin slightly, signaling the palace maid to call the blue wolf in.
The palace maid walked out, and after a while, the blue wolf walked in, and saw the queen mother, who had followed the left and right for more than ten years, and did not have to bow three times and bow nine times, and said a thousand times: "I have seen Lafayette." ”
The Empress Dowager raised her hand: "It's been hard all the way, give me a seat." ”
The blue wolf hung his head: "It is a great blessing for a slave to do things for the Empress Dowager, not hard." ”
The two maidens brought a chair, but the wolf was still standing.
Aunt Su Mala asked people to bring a cup of tea, then looked left and right and gave the palace maids a look, and after they retreated, she brought a cup of tea to the blue wolf: "The envoy has a cup of tea, look at this face, I probably ran away and rode a horse all night." ”
The blue wolf took the teacup, said thank you, and then said, "There is something important to do, so I am in a hurry to come back." ”
Hearing that it was an important matter, the Empress Dowager frowned: "Could it be that something went wrong with Mengjiang?" ”
The blue wolf lowered his head: "That's the case, the jade cultivator is greedy for river silver, and the jade girl is investigating, and the slave is afraid that Zhu Caisheng is not strict, so he will kill him without authorization." ”
Hearing that someone was killed, the Empress Dowager's face froze, and she still said: "That kind of person, if you kill it, you will kill it, this is not a big matter, the so-called general will not be subject to the order of the foreign monarch, you are doing errands outside, and you can call the shots at a critical moment." ”
The blue wolf thanked him and continued: "It's just that a riverworker saw the slave killing, so the slave killed him by the way. ”
Killing people is like hemp, this is the characteristic of a killer, although the empress dowager does not want to hear it, she is still tolerant: "Of course, we must never suffer in the future." ”
The blue wolf thanked him again, and said, "It's just unfortunate that when the slave killed, he let the jade girl see it." ”
The Empress Dowager was shocked: "You shouldn't ......"
The blue wolf hurriedly said: "The slave will never dare to attack the jade girl. ”
The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you understand this truth, if something really happens to that Miss Yu, I'm only worried about the emperor...... But she'll see it, I know you've always been very good at hiding your identity. ”
The blue wolf's eyes rolled, and his face was sneering: "Lafayette praises falsely, this time the slave did not hide his identity, but deliberately revealed that the slave was the head of the palace." ”
Although the Empress Dowager had a lot of complaints about the blue wolf, she felt that he would not make such a childish mistake, and waited for him to continue.
The blue wolf said: "The slave revealed that he was a person from the emperor's side. ”
No more follow-up.
What kind of person is the Empress Dowager, she has already guessed: "Do you want to separate the emperor and that Miss Jade?" ”
The blue wolf bowed his head: "The slave is brave." ”
A smug smile appeared at the corner of the Empress Dowager's mouth: "Blue wolf, you have done an excellent job this time, I am very satisfied, you have run such a long way on horseback, you are also tired, go down to receive the reward and rest." ”
The blue wolf hurriedly knelt and kowtowed, but did not get up, as if he had made up his mind for a long time, Fang said: "The slave asks Lafayette for permission, and let the slave return to his hometown." ”
Returning to the hometown? The Empress Dowager was surprised, glanced at Aunt Su Mala, and saw that Aunt Su Mala was also at a loss, turned her head to look at the wolf and said: "I have reproached you for your poor work several times, but your credit is still in your eyes, and this time you were able to separate that Miss Yu and the emperor, I am very satisfied, why do you suddenly have the idea of returning to your hometown?" ”
The blue wolf almost lay his upper body on the ground, dressed in black, and the whole person was like a beast prostrate at the feet of the Queen Mother, and his usual hoarse voice was excessive in cigarettes and alcohol: "Lafayette Rong, the slave wants to tell the old man, because the slave is really old, and recently he always feels that he has more than enough heart and insufficient strength, and the slave is only afraid that which errand will not be done properly, and he will not be able to live up to the grace of the Queen Mother." ”
The Empress Dowager will be suspicious, but she is obviously a little unhappy with the old man of the blue wolf, and regrets that she has not been able to cultivate a new person who can replace the blue wolf.
Aunt Su Mala smiled faintly and said meaningfully: "The envoy wants to tell the old man, do you feel that this errand is a bit sorry for the long live master, so you blame yourself?" ”
One sentence woke up the person in the dream, the empress dowager finally understood the twists and turns of the wolf telling the old man, and was furious, slapped a palm on the kang table on her side, shook the teacup on it and jingled, and said angrily: "How can you have this thought, you think like this is that I want to break up the emperor and Miss Yu is nosy." ”
The blue wolf kowtowed: "The slave doesn't dare." ”
The Empress Dowager snorted coldly: "That's what you think, but you have to understand, Miss Yu is a Han Chinese, Manchu and Han do not intermarry, not to mention that Miss Yu is still the daughter of a criminal minister, although this time Yu Gengru was greedy for the river workers and the silver two things are calculated by me, but he had a private relationship with the anti-thief Lu Zhaoshui before, but it is ironclad evidence, the emperor liked his daughter, so he opened the net and pardoned his sins, it stands to reason that he should abandon the city, how can I let the daughter of a thief enter the palace, Mo said that the harem was complaining about this, Even those ministers of the previous dynasty would be noisy, and you also know that Miss Yu, she actually killed someone, such a woman entered the palace, do you want the emperor to transgress the ancestral etiquette. ”
What he said this was reasonable, and the blue wolf just tasted: "The slave doesn't dare." ”
Aunt Su Mala spoke appropriately: "Lafayette Rong, the slave has seen that the special adult has understood, so let the envoy go down and rest." ”
The Empress Dowager hummed: "Okay, you go down first and rest, you can't sleep and think about what I said." ”
The blue wolf had no choice but to get up and leave.
He walked on his front foot, and the Empress Dowager immediately said to Su Malagu: "Call Qi Ge over." ”
