"Don't thank me yet, if you don't control the situation by then, I won't tolerate it."

The emperor said leisurely.

Shangguan Li said with a smile.

"That's nature."

After the most important things were resolved, the two of them sat down and said something about what they didn't have, and most of them were asked by the emperor and asked Shangguan Li to pick them up.

Shangguan Li said a few words, neither in-depth, but too surprising to be gorgeous. I won't be able to answer a word, and I can't talk at all.

This conversation turned out to be noon.

Father-in-law Gao came over and whispered to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, it's time for lunch, why don't you let someone pass the meal first."

Before the emperor spoke, Shangguan Li took a step forward and said.

"Your Majesty, Shao Yang will go to the Criminal Department later, so I won't accompany Your Majesty to dinner."

"What are you going to do now?"

Shangguan Li lowered his eyes.

"Does Your Majesty think that Shao Yang is protecting the Prime Minister now?"

"Isn't it?"

She looked up, a faint bitterness on her face.

"Even if the Prime Minister didn't take the initiative to harm the things back then, as a father, if he doesn't do it so far, even if Shao Yang is open-minded, he will not have no resentment in his heart."

The emperor nodded in his heart, this is also where he wondered, obviously he and Shangguan Xun are almost incompatible, why did she spend so much effort to keep his position.

"Speaking of which, Your Majesty may think Shao Yang is childish."

Shangguan Li smiled.

"In fact, the reason why Shaoyang did this is for his mother."

The emperor's expression paused slightly.

"Your mother?"

"Well, when I was a child, when my mother was still there, I once said to Shao Yang that people should know how to repay their kindness, no matter what situation they are in, don't let themselves owe anyone to others."

"Even if the Prime Minister is not good to Shao Yang, but after all, there are still more than ten years of nurturing grace, and after this time, Shao Yang will repay this nurturing grace. After a long time, the grievances were cleared, and Shaoyang did not live up to his mother's entrustment. ”

The emperor's expression was a little stunned, and after a while, he sighed leisurely.

"Yes, your mother is such a person with clear grievances."

Looking at the emperor's expression, Shangguan Li breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

She was right.

In fact, even if she can do this whole thing seamlessly in logic and cause and effect, there is one thing she can't get around no matter what.

That is: why did she help Shangguan Xun.

No matter who thinks of it, Shangguan Xun's attitude towards her, she has no reason to help him at this time.

If she guessed correctly, this question must also be in the emperor's mind.

Although he didn't talk about it now, if this thorn was rooted for a long time, it was inevitable that something would happen. Instead of leaving this time bomb behind, let her explode first.

And it seems that the original mother is indeed extraordinary, whether it is the emperor or Shangguan Xun, it seems that she has a lot of respect for her.

"What are you going to do now?"

After all, the emperor is the emperor, and he quickly came back to his senses.

"Shao Yang doesn't want the Prime Minister to misunderstand, thinking that I did these things because I have some feelings for him."

Shangguan Li lowered his voice.

"Your Majesty may think that Shao Yang is a little naïve to do this, but ......"

"It's human nature."

The emperor interrupted her lightly.

"Go ahead, the will will be issued later, and I hope you will not disappoint me."

"I will live up to Your Majesty's trust."

After speaking, Shangguan Li quickly left the imperial garden and went out of the palace to the criminal department.

After she left, the emperor's expression, which was still a little hesitant, gradually hardened again.

"That's what she said?"

Father-in-law Gao replied with low eyebrows.

"Lord Qian did say so, from the conversation between the county lord and the prince, it can basically be confirmed that the county lord did not know the news that the prince was still alive before. There is no special communication between the two, and the matter of the county lord Bao Shangguan should have nothing to do with the prince. ”

After hearing this, the emperor's expression eased, but his eyebrows were still not fully stretched.

Gao asked in a low voice.

"There is no collusion between the county lord and the prince, and there is no shadow of the prince behind the case of the prime minister's mansion, isn't Your Majesty happy?"

The emperor didn't speak for a long time, until Gao felt that the emperor would not speak again, and he said leisurely.

"No one helps, a woman, but she controls the case of the Prime Minister's Mansion to such a point, even the two princes who are red-faced and red-faced are estimated to be less far-sighted than her in this matter, so scheming, you say, is it a good thing or a bad thing?"

Gao was silent for a moment, and suddenly changed his previous attitude of only caring with the mud, and spoke.

"The old slave thinks that this is a good thing."

"Huh?"

The emperor gave him a strange look.

"When did you hear a word from the mouth of your old fox?"

Gao laughed again.

"Your Majesty, don't make fun of the old slave, the old slave thinks that because the county lord is a woman, even if he is amazing, without the help of others, it will be difficult to achieve any climate. On the contrary, His Majesty can do many things with the status and talents of the county lord. ”

"Oh?"

The emperor took a sip of herbal tea.

"Go on."

Hearing this, Gao Youyan hurriedly waved his hand in fear.

"Alas, the old slave is already frightened when he dares to say these words, and more, the old slave really doesn't know."

The emperor snorted coldly.

He didn't show any surprise.

Gao has been by his side for so many years, and he is naturally the clearest about his thoughts. What he said was what he thought.

"Shaoyang is already nineteen years old, and when she was young, she only seemed to take care of her less than she did......"

After Shangguan Li left the palace, he went straight to the criminal department.

It's really time for her to meet Shangguan Xun, of course, it can't be the kind of hypocritical reason she said to the emperor.

After many days of sleepless overtime, Gao Yong finally had some free rest after reporting to the emperor in the morning.

Zhou An came out and welcomed Shangguan Li in.

"Wait a minute, the county lord, I'll call the lord."

"No, you don't."

Shangguan Li stretched out his hand to stop him and said calmly.

"Lord Gao has been working hard lately, so let him rest more. I came this time with the emperor's approval, just to say a few words. ”

"Okay, I'll move the nearby guards out of the way."

Shangguan Li smiled slightly.

"Thank you."

A moment later, Shangguan Li saw Shangguan Xun again in the somewhat dimly lit cell.

Compared to the last time they met, he seemed to be a lot more decent, at least he was not unkempt anymore, but his cheeks were sunken, his lips were white, and he had lost a lot of weight at a glance.

When I saw her, my eyes lit up for a moment, and I immediately stood up.

"How's the Prime Minister's House?"

Shangguan Li opened the cell door and walked in, sneering when he heard the words.

"It's surprising that the Prime Minister's first concern was not his own situation."
