While Gu Wanyin was sorting out her things, Zhou Ruijing came back from the study. Looking at the things in the room, I couldn't help but smile: "Why are there so many things?" The old lady gave it? As he spoke, he looked at it carefully, and then laughed more and more: "It seems that the old lady has taken out all the things at the bottom of the box." He was so willing to give it. I've never seen an old lady so generous. ”

"It seems that the old lady is very careful." Gu Wanyin glanced at him with disgust, smiled and asked Su Qin and the others to pack up their things, and then looked at Zhou Ruijing and said, "If the old lady hears this, she may be so sad." She cares so much about it, isn't it for the sake of the prince? ”

The corners of Zhou Ruijing's lips were slightly raised, and he said with a smile: "Writing a year like this, I really haven't seen an old lady like this." Even the third aunt and the second aunt are pregnant, and I have never seen such a time. ”

Gu Wanyin responded with a smile, but did not continue. As people get older, they naturally pay more and more attention to the reproduction of their offspring and spread their branches. Moreover, she is now pregnant with the eldest son and grandson of the Zhou family. It is Zhou Ruijing's first child. Whether she really likes it or not, the old lady will do the same. It's just that seeing Zhou Ruijing care so much, she can't say much.

Gu Wanyin thought about what happened last night, couldn't help sighing, and said softly to Zhou Ruijing: "The prince has to be free, so persuade Ruiming." My third sister Xingzi is a little arrogant, if there is really anything unpleasant, please take care of him a little more. ”

Zhou Ruijing shook his head, "When two people get along, only let them explore by themselves." If you blindly tolerate it, you will complain more in the future. By the way, I got the news today that the King of Qin and the King of Jin have returned to Beijing. At the same time, he brought back proof of embezzlement of embankment repair funds in Zhizhou, Hebei. Earlier this morning, the Holy Dragon Yan was furious and became very angry. Several implicated officials were arrested. These few officials. They all spoke in opposition to the establishment of the King of Qin as the crown prince. ”

Gu Wanyin's heart moved, the movements in her hands paused, and she raised her head and looked at Zhou Ruijing in disbelief: "Is this King Qin purging dissidents?" What about the Holy One? Can't you see it? ”

"It's about the actions of King Qin;. It's just that these people are indeed implicated. It's not that King Qin wronged them, it's just that King Qin grabbed the handle. In fact, before I returned to Beijing, I had read the account book, and they were indeed implicated in it. Several other officials have also been implicated. It's just that those few have something to do with King Qin. So ......" Zhou Ruijing's voice was a little heavy. The fall made people nervous when they heard it.

Gu Wanyin only felt a layer of sticky sweat in her palms, and her voice sank involuntarily: "King Qin is indeed taking the opportunity to eradicate dissidents, isn't he?" Otherwise, how could they have only denounced those who objected? It's just that King Jin didn't go with him? Didn't King Jin notice anything unusual? ”

Or rather. King Qin's power has reached the point of covering the sky with one hand?

"Don't worry, King Qin can't touch our Zhennan Palace. One day my father was in charge of the army, and he did not dare to act rashly for a day. Zhou Ruijing smiled slightly, and his eyes were somewhat arrogant: "The things on our bodies that make the superiors jealous, aren't they our protective talismans?" Otherwise. If it was really for the Zhou family not to be suspicious. The Zhou family should not continue to choose the road of guarding the border pass. Many people think that a very good minister is an official in Beijing. To be the favored person around the superior is the real scenery, infinite scenery, wealth and compelling. But they don't know it. has mastered the power of the army, and has something that makes the superior fearful, as long as he acts rightly and does not make mistakes. That's really long-term stability. There are many favored ministers like carp crossing the river, and it is common for yiyè to be rich or to be decayed. But the generals are different. ”

"The prince is right." Gu Wanyin thought about it carefully, it was indeed such a truth. The officials in Beijing often change, but the generals at the border gates cannot be changed and dare not change. First, people's hearts are difficult to fathom, and not every general in the position dares to trust them wholeheartedly. Second, the soldiers below will not hand over their lives and deaths to unfamiliar and unadmired generals at will. What are you afraid of with your troops? I am most afraid that the army will be unstable. I am afraid that I will not obey the public.

It's just that King Qin is now in full swing, if he is determined to embarrass the Zhou family, the Zhou family will also be in trouble.

"In fact, the results of my original investigation are very different from the results presented by King Qin." Zhou Ruijing paused, glanced at Gu Wanyin's reaction before he said, "If I guessed correctly, King Qin should have also taken the benefits." Half of the silver from the embankment was transported back to the capital. ”

Gu Wanyin was almost speechless, only feeling full of shock: "King Qin, how dare he - if this is found out-"

"Didn't I find out? If I insisted on checking at that time, I was afraid that King Qin would jump over the wall in a hurry. That's why I chose to go back to Beijing. Zhou Ruijing raised his lips slightly, and his expression was a little sarcastic. I just don't know if it's him or someone else.

This time, Gu Wanyin couldn't say anything anymore. The shock brought to her by Zhou Ruijing's words was too strong, and she only felt like she was in a dream for a while.

"I think that King Qin took this silver, not only for the silver, but also for a quiet layout." Zhou Ruijing said straight to himself: "I guess he will test the situation of our Zhou family again next." If I'm not mistaken, he's making an example. From now on, we have to be careful. Fortunately, I'm at home during this time, so you don't have to worry too much. I'm the one who is out there. You just have to take care of the baby. ”

After a pause, he glanced at Gu Wanyin's shocked face, couldn't help but smile and shook his head, shook her hand and said softly: "I said this to make you feel prepared, but not to make you anxious." ”

Gu Wanyin came back to her senses, raised her head to Zhou Ruijing with a hint of worry, smiled slightly but took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, gently leaned her head on his chest, listened to the powerful vibration in her chest, and said softly: "I naturally believe in the prince of the world." It's just when the prince is walking outside. Be careful, too. "King Qin has already begun to move, presumably it will not be long before the capital will be completely turbulent;

Not long after lunch, someone came to find Zhou Ruijing, and Zhou Ruijing went to the study. Gu Wanyin took a break. It didn't take long to sleep, Gu Wanyin heard someone outside deliberately lower her voice to speak, waited quietly for a while, and saw that the person outside didn't mean to come in, so she asked out loud: "What's the matter?" "She has always been in the house when she sleeps, and if there is nothing important to do, she will never come and disturb her.

After a while, Bimei came in lightly and replied in a low voice: "It was Aunt Tao who came over, saying that she wanted to congratulate the princess Daosheng in person." We said that the princess was asleep, but she refused to leave, and just waited outside. Look, princess, it's—"

"Serve me, I'll wake up anyway." Gu Wanyin didn't answer immediately, but muttered for a moment before answering softly. Tao is the second master's favorite concubine, if she really doesn't see her, the second master will definitely feel that she is frivolous in his heart. Besides, Dow said that she was congratulating her, and she couldn't refute this face. The most important thing is that she is really a little curious about this Dow.

can make the second wife so out of shape and make the second master so fascinated and almost obsessed, Tao is also a character. In the past, it was okay that Tao didn't enter the gate of the Zhou family, but once she entered the gate of the Zhou family, she should also be on guard. Although it is a matter of the second room, there is a saying: the city gate is on fire, and the pond fish suffers.

Dressed neatly, Gu Wanyin walked out, and sure enough, she saw Aunt Tao sitting on a chair in a crescent white embroidered skirt, waiting for her to appear, with only a hibiscus flower on her head and a few hairpins inlaid with eastern pearls. The earrings are red coral, which falls on the side of the neck and cheeks, lining the skin white and greasy, like frost and snow. Although it is a very simple and simple dress, Aunt Tao is not dressed in the slightest shabby, but looks warm and gentle, and she can't see that she is just an aunt.

Seeing Gu Wanyin, Tao put down the teacup in his hand, stood up with a smile and saluted Gu Wanyin: "Princess." ”

"Aunt Tao doesn't have to be polite." Gu Wanyin smiled slightly, politely on her lips, but she accepted her gift silently. Although Tao is the pillow person of the second master, she is also a serious princess. If you really want to talk about it, the second wife should also salute when she sees her. It's just that the second wife is her serious elder, so no one cares about this. As for Dow, he is not a serious master, so naturally he doesn't have to care.

Tao naturally understood this, and he didn't see the slightest reluctance on her face.

"Aunt Tao, sit down." After Gu Wanyin sat down, she saw that Tao was still standing, so she smiled and said loudly. In his heart, he nodded secretly, no wonder the second wife was suffocated under Tao's hands. This Dow is indeed a calm one. Not to mention the side, this tolerance is beyond the reach of the second wife.

When Tao got this, he sat down again, but he said apologetically: "Speaking of which, I was also abrupt." I didn't expect that this would be the time for a nap, which disturbed your sleep. ”

Gu Wanyin's smile did not decrease, and she gently took a sip of red date tea: "If it is cold today, there is actually no need to take a nap." It's just that I'm always tired somehow, so I want to sleep. I was tired, and Aunt Tao waited outside for a long time. It's really not mine. "If it really bothered, Dow wouldn't be waiting here. Since I waited, this sentence is a polite remark. However, Dow's sincere tone made people angry.

Dow smiled on his face and said very briskly: "It's like i when you're pregnant." When I was pregnant with Brother Qing'er, I had to sleep for seven or eight hours a day for twelve hours. I always feel tired and tired. ”

Gu Wanyin smiled slightly, but did not answer. Bimei on the side frowned - what is the identity of Brother Qing'er? How to think about the child in Gu Wanyin's arms? This Dow, who looks decent, says something annoying.;
