Chapter 007: Choose to Believe
readx;? The Changming Palace suddenly fell silent. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Shen Ze looked at Lu Yingquan coldly, the killing intent in his eyes flashed, and he seemed to be hesitating whether to make a move on Lu Yingquan.
Gu Qingming also seemed to see Shen Ze's thoughts, so he glanced at Duke Luo, and Luo Song immediately walked out of the main hall and stood guard at the door, not letting anyone approach.
"What the hell is going on?" asked Shen Ze after a long time.
"When I returned to the emperor, the slave thought that she didn't have the ingenuity to come up with such an ingenious way to control the flood, but she couldn't bear to see the emperor frowning day by day, and she was exhausted. Lu Yingquan said lightly, "In the past, the slave maid and Yun Yao were on an errand in the Yeting Palace, but I felt that Yun Yao was very smart, and she could usually think of things that ordinary people couldn't think of, so I would give it a try with this idea." ”
"It's really a coincidence, this time, you really found an effective way to control the flood?" Shen Ze snorted coldly, and then said, "Lu Yingquan, do you treat me as a fool? Even if you want to gain my trust, you have to change your identity and come back." You are the people sent by the Queen Mother herself, do you think I will believe you?"
Yun Yao knew that the emperor would not believe it, so she asked the slave to tell the emperor a story. Lu Yingquan replied calmly, "Yun Yao said that as long as the emperor listens to this story, he will be able to understand what she means." ”
"Story?" Shen Ze listened to Lu Yingquan's words, and was faintly curious, "What story?"
"Once upon a time there was a general who was strategizing and good at war, but in the course of a battle with an enemy country, he was outnumbered and captured by the enemy country. The monarch of the enemy country cherishes his talents, and gives this general a good treatment, gold and silver treasures, fine wine and beautiful women, just want to take this general for his own use. But although the general was in an enemy country, he still thought about his homeland and his wife and children in his homeland. Lu Yingquan spoke slowly, and told Shen Ze the story that Yun Yao told her, word for word, "The longing for the homeland and his wife and children is entrenched in the heart of this general every day, when the monarch of the homeland makes a comeback and the troops are in the city, the general immediately turns into a sharp arrow inserted in the enemy's abdomen, and the soldiers of the homeland should cooperate with the outside world, and finally destroy the enemy country, return to the homeland, and reunite with his wife and children." ”
The moment Lu Yingquan's words fell, Changming Palace was even more silent, especially Gu Qingming, the shock in his heart could not be calmed down for a long time.
"Your Majesty, the story of the slave is over. After telling the story, Lu Yingquan spoke again, saluted Shen Ze, and said, "If the emperor is unwilling to take this method, the slave and maid will have no choice, and the slave and maid will retire." ”
After speaking, Lu Yingquan was about to leave.
"Stop. Shen Ze suddenly spoke, keeping Lu Yingquan and asking, "This story...... Did Yun Yao really tell you about it?"
"Naturally, no matter how bold the slave is, she doesn't dare to deceive the emperor. Lu Yingquan said, "The deep meaning in the story, I think the emperor has already understood, but how to choose, please let the emperor decide." ”
When Lu Yingquan listened to Yun Yao's story yesterday, she didn't understand the meaning of it, but when she told the story herself, she suddenly understood that Yun Yao was comparing herself to the general who was trapped in the enemy country.
Being in an enemy country, I can't help myself, but my heart is towards my homeland, so I am willing to endure humiliation and burden, waiting for the day when I will become a sharp arrow inserted into the enemy country by my homeland and complete my mission.
As for the wife and children in the story, they must refer to Gu Qingming.
Because Gu Qingming and Shen Ze are in the same spirit, and because of the ancestral teachings of the Gu family, Gu Qingming has to take the protection of the Shen family as his responsibility all his life. Because of this, Yun Yao didn't want to be an enemy of Gu Qingming, so she made a choice.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember the conversation you had with Weichen on the night of the Empress's birthday? Facts have proved that she did not disappoint Wechen, nor did she disappoint the emperor. Gu Qingming's eyes were full of smiles, but his face was still serious, and he said so.
Shen Ze looked at Gu Qingming and Lu Yingquan, and then looked at the map of Daning on the desk, and was silent for a while before he slowly spoke:
"Tomorrow morning, I will discuss with my ministers about the relocation of Ji'an County. ”
Hearing Shen Ze's words, Lu Yingquan was happy for a while, and the temperament that had been suppressed for a long time just now was instantly released, and his voice became a lot brighter: "Great, if Yun Yao knew that the emperor used her method, she might be so happy." ”
"It's like I know you. Shen Ze was also a little more relaxed, and said, "The way you spoke seriously just now, I thought it was Yun Yao standing here. ”
Lu Yingquan listened, snorted, laughed, and then said: "Your Majesty, you should really have a good chat with the queen, when she saw the slave and maid yesterday, she also felt that the slave and maid had an unruly temperament. She also said that there are too many people who follow the rules in this palace, and there must be a few more people like slaves and maids to be happy. ”
"Rong Ya?" Shen Ze heard Lu Yingquan mention the queen, and immediately recalled Rong Ya's immature face in his mind.
In fact, he doesn't hate Rong Ya himself, what he hates is Rong Ya's identity, the daughter of Princess Qin Zhen'er of Ningyuan, and the nail planted by the Queen of Heaven Qin in order to control the harem.
But he forgot that Rong Ya was just a ten-year-old girl, what could she understand? Now that the Queen Mother has sent Yun Yao to Rong Ya's side, and Yun Yao has expressed her heart to him, so Rong Ya ...... Can it also be his shield?
"Lu Yingquan, from now on, I will allow you to exercise the authority of the Imperial Commander Shangyi, follow me to the early dynasty, and after the next dynasty, you will be on an errand in the Changming Palace. Shen Ze then said, "Don't let me down. ”
"Please rest assured, the slave knows what to say and what not to say. Lu Yingquan nodded.
She was happy to be able to help Shen Ze, no matter what her identity was, what kind of purpose she had, she always remembered that that time she was almost chased by tassels and fled to the cold palace, if Shen Ze hadn't found her first, maybe she would really be left to fend for herself in the cold palace by herself.
That night, the person in front of him disregarded his identity as the Ninety-Five Emperor, wore a night suit, sat side by side with her on the dirty ground, chatted all night, Yun Yao came up with a plan to save her, Gu Qingming got a hound to cooperate, without the three of them, she Lu Yingquan would have been a nameless female corpse in the cold palace at this moment.
Therefore, no matter what, she has to repay this kindness.
Compared with the Empress Dowager's persecution again and again, Shen Ze at least treated her sincerely, whether she regarded her as a friend, a palace maid, or a plaything, she was also grateful for the grace of companionship that night.
"Your Majesty, since the law is already there, Weichen will take his leave first, go back and study it carefully, if the people mutinier because of the relocation of Ji'an County, how to mobilize the army, in order to ensure the least manpower consumption and damage. Gu Qingming knew that Shen Ze had already chosen to believe in Yun Yao and Lu Yingquan, and he had already relieved himself in his heart, so he spoke.
"Go ahead, remember to choose someone for me, you are right, although there is a way, but you still need a reliable person to go over to ensure that things go smoothly. Shen Ze commanded.
"Please rest assured. Gu Qingming clenched his fists in response, said, and then turned to leave.
Lu Yingquan stayed in Changming Palace, picked up the fold that was thrown on the ground when Shen Ze was angry just now, and slowly put it on the desk.
After Gu Qingming left Changming Palace, he didn't leave the palace directly, but instead took a detour to the Imperial Doctor's Office, and found Xiaoyinzi as before.
"General, I don't know why you are looking for a slave this time?" Xiao Yinzi suddenly saw Gu Qingming, and he also felt a little surprised.
After all, Gu Qingming hadn't looked for him for a long time, and since Yun Yao went to the inner palace, he and Gu Qingming had never been in private again, because the inner palace was not something he could enter whenever he wanted to.
"Can you find a way to go to the Hehuan Palace?" Gu Qingming asked, "I know this may be a little difficult, but it is most convenient for you to be in the Imperial Medical Department, if you can't even do it, I guess no one can help me bring the letter to her." ”
"General, if there is no one summoned in the Hehuan Palace, the slaves cannot enter casually, otherwise it will arouse suspicion, and the gains outweigh the losses. "However, the minion is willing to give it a try." Please give the slave three days, and if the slave can think of a way to enter the Hehuan Hall within three days, he will send the letter to Miss Yun Yao, if not, he will ......"
"If you can't, it's inconvenient to force it, and your safety is at stake. Gu Qingming directly said the rest of the words.
And it was precisely because of this sentence that Xiao Yinzi was grateful, and he knew in his heart that Gu Qingming was different from other masters in the palace, because Gu Qingming cared about his life and death.
"The minion thanked the general. Xiao Yinzi immediately shook it.
Gu Qingming put the letter that had been prepared in his hand into Xiao Yinzi's hand, and repeatedly advised: "If someone sees it, it will be destroyed." ”
"The minions understand. Xiao Yinzi held the letter in the palm of his hand, and then hid it in front of Gu Qingming.
After the two said some more words, they separated, Gu Qingming left the palace, and Xiao Yinzi returned to the Imperial Doctor's Office.
The weather in July is like the hearts of people in this palace, which cannot be fathomed. One moment, the sun was still shining, making people complain that it was too hot to stay, and the next moment, it was already pouring rain.
In the afternoon, the torrential rain poured out in an instant, crackling on the bricks of the palace roof, on the bluestone slabs on the ground, and on the leaves of the trees, making a disturbing sound.
Yun Yao stood in front of the window, looking at the rain like this, and couldn't help but feel a trace of worry in her heart.
If it rains like this, it doesn't know how many places in the south will be affected by flooding, especially Ji'an County and several nearby counties, which will definitely be affected.
It is hoped that the emperor can come up with effective decisions as soon as possible to solve the flood problem in Ji'an County as soon as possible, so that the people of Daning can survive this catastrophe.
"Miss Yun Yao, the queen mother woke up from a nap and is looking for you. Dawn came over to report.
"Got it, I'll go. Yun Yao said, then straightened her skirt, walked out of the door, and walked towards Rong Ya's bedroom.
But what Yun Yao didn't know was that when she left the room, a figure quickly slipped into her room, and then closed the door with her backhand, no one knew what she was doing inside.
