A rush of footsteps came, and in the empty West Pavilion Hall, a man's deep voice suddenly sounded, which reached the ears of Lu Zhaoyi, who had been waiting here for a long time.

"Zhaoyi ......"

At this moment, she had already taken off the hat on her head, turned her head suddenly, and with a cold and gentle face, she faced the door, showing a slight smile.

Outside the door, Xia Pei was dressed in a dark color regular clothes, heroic, completely different from the solemn and solemn temperament in the Tai Chi Palace, as if he had been specially redressed.

At this moment, he looked at her with a hint of guilt, "Zhaoyi, I'm sorry...... I ......"

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Zhaoyi interrupted his words and smiled slightly, "Qi Niang knows Your Majesty's difficulty, forbearance and calculation, and always maintain suspicion, which is also the responsibility that Your Majesty should have as an emperor, no matter what the reason, Zhaoyi can understand."

"You, don't blame me? I've been hiding it from you......" Xia Pei asked tentatively.

Lu Zhaoyi smiled, his eyes were as soft as spring water, "Your Majesty is the emperor, no matter what Your Majesty does, it is for the good of the Great Yuan Dynasty...... Qi Niang only hopes that Your Majesty will always care about the people of the world, and everything today is worth it."

"And, Qi Niang has never blamed Your Majesty."

Her voice, soft and tactful, was as mellow as the gurgling water.

But in Xia Pei's ears, it was like a sharp dagger, straight into his chest, making him suffocate in pain.

He slowly stepped forward, stood still in front of her, stretched out his arms, hugged her, and embraced her into his arms.

Lu Zhaoyi looked extremely well-behaved, without the slightest resistance, but let him hold him, with a smile on his face, and willingly threw himself into his arms.

Xia Pei felt the weakness of the woman in his arms, and his heart became even more uncomfortable, and he buried his head in her neck, greedily smelling her fragrance.

For a long time, neither of them spoke again.

Xia Pei hugged her like that, as if he was afraid that she would run away.

I don't know how long it took, Lu Zhaoyi slowly pushed him away, his eyes were gentle like water.

"This time, it was His Majesty who won, and Qi Niang lost convinced. In the past, Qi Niang has always been worried that His Majesty may not be able to suppress the old ministers left by the first king, but now it seems that Qi Niang is too careful. In the future, Qi Niang will continue to assist Your Majesty in order to open up peace for all eternity."

When these words came out, Xia Pei was even more emotional, he had always known the breadth of this woman's heart.

It's just because her open-mindedness is by no means comparable to others, even in the face of difficulties, she can neither be humble nor arrogant, and even, at such a time, she can not forget her mission.

He looked at her, his gaze resolute, "I'll do my best."

She was slightly stunned, then smiled, and immediately diverted the topic.

"Nanling Gong is dead today, so Wu Chong, how does Your Majesty want to deal with it?"

was suddenly forcibly pulled back on track, and Xia Pei was a little stunned at first.

But soon, he also regained his composure, and his mind gradually became active.

Wu Chong is a more female dry slippery, but this time Luo Jing's change, he picked himself clean, leaving no clues.

And the Nanling Gong rebels went south, and it was clear that Wu Chong's calculations were also there, but afterwards they didn't seem to have anything to do with him.

obviously knows that this person is scheming, and it has even been known to the world, but he can't catch this person's handle, and there is no way to take him.

That's the trickiest thing.

"Wu Chong was cultivated by me, and at the beginning, I couldn't see that this person was such an old woman doing such a cunning job. Now we need to dismantle them one by one, so that we can bring them down."

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi raised his eyebrows, "What does Your Majesty want Qi Niang to do?"

Xia Pei pursed his lips and raised his eyes to look at her, with a sense of confidence.

"In a few days, I will send Li De to hand you a list, and after you get the list, you will design and suppress the people on the list one by one, and at the same time try to gather evidence against Wu Chong. In this way, I feel that in less than a year, those people will be no longer a threat

, Wu Chong will naturally lose his position, and then I will convict him again, how do you say?"

Hearing this, Lu Zhaoyi hesitated, pacing back and forth in the hall, as if he didn't quite agree with Xia Pei's words.

Wu Chong is cunning and insidious, if he really wants to suppress those vassals who rely on Wu Chong, it is impossible for him not to see it, this move is easy to startle the snake.

"Isn't that right?" Lu Zhaoyi shook his head and said, "If Wu Chong is a smart person, he will definitely be aware of this plan halfway through, this matter is instructed by His Majesty, and Qi Niang is afraid that he will jump off the wall in a hurry."

"So, do you have a better idea?" Xia Pei frowned.

The woman in front of him was his beloved, and as a man, he shouldn't want to go along with it, nor did he want to admit that he was inferior to her. But he had to admit that her skills were indeed more clever.

Lu Zhaoyi pursed her lips, and after being silent for a long time, she suddenly smiled toothily, "Qi Niang has a way, not only to preserve His Majesty's name as a Ming Jun, but also to let him kill himself. However, Qi Niang wants His Majesty to promise Qi Niang one thing, otherwise Qi Niang will never take risks."

Seeing her mysterious, Xia Pei was even more curious, "What's the matter? Listen to me."

Immediately, through the candle flame, Lu Zhaoyi stood on tiptoe, climbed Xia Pei's shoulder, and whispered to him, as if he had been whispering for a long time.

Until a long time later, Xia Pei seemed to be still pondering.

"What does Your Majesty think?"

Seeing that he had been thinking for so long, and it was almost the middle of the night.

If you don't leave the palace again, I'm afraid that I will have to stay in the palace tonight, and I am afraid that the ceremonial officials will use this as an excuse, and the court will definitely be disturbed.

However, what Fang just said in his ear was also a method she thought of, but this method was too risky, and she was afraid that His Majesty would not agree, so she reminded her so solemnly.

Sure enough, after pondering, Xia Pei gradually came back to his senses and looked at her, his face stiffened.

"No." He rejected her categorically, his voice cold. Chinese Net

As soon as Lu Zhaoyi heard this, he knew that he hadn't moved him yet.

But......

"Then, Qi Niang can only think of another way." She lowered her eyes, hid the gloom that flashed in the depths of her eyes, and said lightly.

Xia Pei stared at her side face tightly, "Don't you believe me?"

Lu Zhaoyi shook her head, but she didn't speak, but her expression had already told Xia Pei the answer.

Seeing this, Xia Pei's eyes darkened.

"Yes, I promise you!" He gritted his teeth and spat out word by word.

This sentence seemed to cut a knife in his heart.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." She said lightly, a little joy in her voice.

Xia Pei looked at her, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and then he forcibly buried it in his heart.

"Nothing. Next time, I'll tell you again......" He rolled his eyes and looked out the door, "Li De, send Lu Niangzi out of the palace...... They must be sent back to Yongping Lifang to the house, and they must not be neglected."

Li De nodded, his face was full of wrinkles, and he smiled, "Your Majesty, the slave will definitely send Lu Niangzi to the mansion before rushing back...... Hehehe......"

Just now, everything that happened in the West Pavilion Palace, Li De, the old eunuch, could see it clearly.

He was alarmed at first.

The emperor and his new wife, who had not yet completed their marriage, not only met secretly in private, but also embraced each other so intimately, which has never been seen in the past.

Li De is a eunuch, but he is also a clear-eyed person, he can see that they are really like-minded, his expression has changed, looking at this pair of talented women, he is relieved from the bottom of his heart.

After leaving the West Pavilion Palace, Lu Zhaoyi, who was wearing a hat, followed behind Li De and headed towards the palace gate.

On the way, Li De reminded him from time to time to be careful of the steps and roads under his feet.

"Lu Niangzi, please ...... here."

And she listened, Li De kept calling her "Lu Niangzi", and she was a little puzzled, so she asked casually.

"Father-in-law, Qi Niang is currently an official position, but in these days, there are few people who call Qi Niang a long history, but most of them call her a lady. Why?"

Since she was promoted to the head of the Taiqu Pavilion, she has rarely heard the title of "Lu Changshi", and according to the practice of the DPRK and China, if there is an official position, it is called an official position, even if she is under several positions, she must be called by the high position.

She is the only one Lu Zhaoyi, who has been an official in the court for so long, and until now, she is still called a lady, which makes her doubt deepen.

Is it all because she is a woman?

Li De smiled and replied, "If you judge by your status, is it the queen who is the greatest, or the position of the long history?"

Hearing this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, isn't this clear?

However, Li De continued: "Lu Niangzi, your marriage date with Your Majesty is about to be set, and you can be regarded as a woman of half the clan, so don't underestimate the title of 'Niangzi'. Once you receive the edict from Your Majesty and become a famous spy in the clan, you will be the queen's honor. And before you were canonized, this title is really a sign of respect for you."

Lu Zhaoyi nodded, "I see, thank you for your teachings, Qi Niang remember."

Li De smiled and said, "The slave maid is just acting on orders, and Mrs. Lu doesn't need to be polite. In the future, Lu Niangzi will enter the middle palace, and the slave maid will please take care of it!"

The night is long, like ink.

The moonlight poured down and sprinkled on the ground, gilding the floor with a layer of silver.

After returning to Yongpingli, she entered the house, returned to the bedroom and lay on the bed, her mind still full of thoughts.

Perhaps the night was as cold as water, and the wind was gusting, and after the middle of the night, the chill was even worse.

The light flickered, dim and hazy, and a figure quietly entered her bedroom, and when she saw the figure lying on the bed, she sighed softly and put the person who had fallen asleep on the bed in a good place, covered it with a quilt, and quietly withdrew.

The night fell silent.

Nearly half of September, Yongping Rinei, as if returning to the past.

The business of Fengmanlou has become more lively.

The Qinyu Pavilion station has changed places in Luojing again, and is carrying out the tasks issued by the Drifting Snow Building step by step.

Today's spy network is completely under the emperor's sight, but Lu Zhaoyi, who is the owner of the Drifting Snow Building, no longer cares.

The thirty-six halls of the Tianxia Alliance perform their duties, and the direct halls and states are divided into helms, and they are only under the orders of the alliance leader Lu Zhaoyi.

Everything seems to be fully restored, but it doesn't seem to be.

On the ninth day after Nanling Gong was beheaded, Li De finally sent a list of officials related to Wu Chong, written by Xia Pei himself.
