410 The dilemma (2nd shift)

The news reached Shi's house.

Shi Huan was pruning a begonia in the courtyard, and when he heard this, he collected the scissors and put them in the tray held by the maid behind him, took the handkerchief and wiped his hands, smiled, and let the maids who followed retreat, before changing the topic and asking Pian Yu, "Senior brother's body is better." ”

"Hmm. It's fine, but you still need to recuperate. Kata Yu nodded and asked hesitantly, "Master, everyone outside is saying that Niang Niang pretends to be generous like this, and sooner or later she will lift a stone and hit her own foot...... After all, the eldest prince is already full-fledged. ”

Shi Huan turned to look at her, "Do you feel the same way?" ”

Katayu shook his head, "I—I don't know much about this...... It's just a little worried. ”

These things that compete for power, Katayu doesn't understand. What the studio taught her was to make her a sword, a sword, not a strategist. She wouldn't have asked these questions, and being a subordinate person is the most taboo. But she can see that the queen is really good to her master, and she always hopes that the other party will go well.

Hang as high as Haman?

I really thought that my aunt had been in the harem all these years, and she was really just in charge of the six palaces, maneuvering between the concubines in the palaces, and thinking about how to compete for favor all day long?

The Hanlin Scholar was notoriously upright and stubborn, but he was also loyal, even to the point of foolishness, but whenever the emperor pointed to the deer as a horse, he was the one who enthusiastically cheered. If such a person wants to be drawn into his camp, he knows that it is unlikely.

And the other, the head of the Imperial Hospital, is sleek, all parties are not offended, and they talk about people when they see people, and they talk nonsense when they see ghosts...... Although he does not have much real power, the identity of the imperial doctor, the interpersonal network involved in it is the most complicated, and the face is also the best to use, after all, no one wants to offend the imperial doctor who can control life and death at a critical time.

The queen put these two completely different fathers-in-law in front of Gu Yanqing, which seemed to be generous, but in fact pushed Gu Yanqing into a dilemma.

Choosing the former is certainly a way to express loyalty to the emperor, but so far, the benefits of this marriage have brought him...... Before the emperor abdicated, he couldn't enjoy a penny, and it can even be said that he directly planted an eyeliner for the emperor by his side.

Choose the latter...... Although his contacts have been expanded, the emperor's suspicions cannot be dispelled.

Let alone...... My aunt would never throw such a big piece of fat to Gu Yanqing no matter what.

The head of the Imperial Hospital is a member of the Shi family.

Shi Huan stood under the porch, looking at the begonias in the courtyard, his eyes were gloomy, and he didn't explain it to Pian Yu, but he was just relieved that this girl who didn't understand the thoughts of the hundreds of turns, "It's okay, my aunt has lived in the deep palace for a long time, how can she be hit by a stone." ”

Today's queen is indeed generous, and she has never seen who she is jealous of. But the emperor chose a time that was not so good. No matter how generous a woman is, she is also calculating and obsessed with her own son's affairs. At that time, she was vetoed by the emperor for Gu Yansheng's family affairs, how could she have any intention of holding a spring banquet for someone else's son?

Just when he was about to choose a perfunctory one casually, Shi Huan asked someone to send these two names into the palace.

Gu Yanqing...... You always think you are smart, and others are just taking the shadow of your grandparents...... But you don't understand, in a place like the imperial capital, the things accumulated by generations of ancestors are themselves part of the strength, if not, why do generations of painstaking planning just for the sake of the ancestral industry?

Gu Yanqing, the chess game has been opened, everyone is a chess piece, you and I ...... So it is.

……

Night.

Somewhere in the depths of a black market exchange.

There was only one night pearl in the light source in the whole room, and in the dim light, Gu Yanqing sat behind the lenient desk, looked at his subordinates standing in front of him with his head bowed with a gloomy face, and asked viciously with a gritted back tooth, "You mean...... Just because of a merman's tears, you believe a woman who is full of lies? ”

"Hidden clans? Do you believe it too? You still have a three-day appointment with her? ”

"Seth, are you waiting for this king to praise you for a job well done? I don't know when you were so naïve and naïve? Is it that the water in the imperial capital is too nourishing, so that you have lost the basic vigilance and wolf nature of the grassland people outside the Saiwai?! ”

The ambergris fragrance lingered, the other party looked cold and hard, his jaw was tight, like a wolf ready to go, his voice was stiff, but the speed of speech was not fast, "Gu!" As I said, I'm not your subordinate! You—you don't have the right to accuse me! ”

Gu Yanqing, who was disturbed by a jerky accent and became more and more irritable, was so angry that smoke rose above her head, and grinded her teeth little by little in a suppressed voice, "Seth! Even if it's a mutually beneficial partnership, I have the right to point out your mistakes! You are too imprudent, this is the imperial capital, everyone is wearing an unknown number of masks, what you see may not be the truth, why should the black market make people memorize the portraits of major families and merchants, just so that one day the boat will not capsize in the gutter! ”

Because of the excitement, Gu Yanqing spoke much faster than usual, and Seth listened to the words flying around in his head, and he didn't catch any of them...... I only heard one meaning, that is, this girl is very dangerous......

Seth remembered the girl who opened the screen proudly with her neck raised like a peacock...... I always feel that such a little girl with a little bit of ignorance is so terrible...... The woman in this place is really ...... It's scary!

At that time, the coldness and hardness on his body died down instantly, and he looked at Gu Yanqing's expression hesitantly, "That's ...... That...... So what do we do now? Although I don't like the way this person is arrogant to himself, he is right about one thing, since it is a cooperative relationship, then everyone wants to make money, and it is appropriate to discuss problems together.

This is the imperial capital, and he has been hiding in this dark place all day long, and he definitely doesn't know as much as Gu Yanqing, listen to him once or twice...... It's fine. Seth comforted himself like this.

Gu Yanqing's face was really ugly.

The princess chosen by the queen for him has already given him a headache, and now he has jumped out of such a hidden clan, more and more one head and two big, where can he sit quietly and think about countermeasures, and scolded the other party coldly, "What else can I do?" Are you really going to find some mermaid tears for her? Have you negotiated the price? Is the deposit paid? ”

The other party shook his head, and Gu Yanqing's face turned blue with more and more anger, "You are also a person who has seen the world, at least a person who has seen women...... Now, the price has not been negotiated, the deposit has not been paid, and the formalities have not been completed, Seth! How beautiful is that person, and how much did you lose your brain? ”

Seth was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that this seemed to be the case......
