North of the city, Prime Minister's Mansion.

Bypassing the shadow wall carved from the whole rock, you will arrive at the main hall of the mansion.

On the realistic crane lotus platform on both sides of the hall, the candles placed in a staggered manner have already been lit, just like day!

A delicately embroidered double-sided gold silk with a hundred blessings hangs on the wall in the middle.

Beneath the momofuku silk is a long table of red sandalwood. On the table are precious Tokai red coral trees inlaid with various gemstones. In front of the tree, eight rosewood chairs were placed in pairs opposite each other in the open space. On the small table next to each chair is a set of gold-edged lotus tea cups with a clear texture.

At this time, Li Chenghai, who was sitting on the main seat, turned the gold-rimmed lotus tea cup in his hand, his expression was gloomy, and he bowed his head and was silent.

The news of Hui Guogong just now made him very bored.

Hui Guogong of Xinzhou is a force he has cultivated for many years, and he has been watching the Xinzhou army and the river transportation of the Xihe River for him.

In the early days of the dynasty today, the imperial history platform played that he disregarded the king's law in Xinzhou, bullied men and women, and disregarded people's lives, causing the people of Xinzhou to complain and make a living. The saint was furious and ordered Yuan Zhen of Yong'an Division to investigate the affairs of Xinzhou from now on!

Yuan Zhen is the head of the Yong'an Division and the most trusted person in the Holy Heavens

What if he finds out? There is no hope for Hui Guogong.

Therefore, he found his cronies overnight to discuss the matter.

For a while, there was a lot of gossip, and there were different opinions.

This Xinzhou will either give up or find someone to replace Huiguogong! But where did he go to find the right person for a while.

In the end, it was the left waiter of the ministry who thought of a person, maybe he could be wooed.

This person is a young deputy general in the Xinzhou army, surnamed Lei, who grew up in the Xinzhou military camp since he was a child. The kung fu is good, the mind is also transparent, he is familiar with things in the army, and he also has some prestige!

So he thought of sending someone to tempt the temptation!

"Xiangye, the old slave has just sent the three Li Hua brothers to Xinzhou," Steward Kang came in and replied softly.

"Well," Li Chenghai was still shaking the teacup, not even looking at Steward Kang, "Is there any movement in the Rong Mansion?" ”

"Yes, there is a message from Sister-in-law Wu. This morning, the eldest princess summoned Rong Nanxing, and the old lady of the Rong family took her to the eldest princess's mansion! ”

"It seems that the move of marriage still has some effect! It's best to let the eldest princess and the Rong family have a dislike between them, and use the eldest princess's hand to get rid of Rong Nanxing,"

Li Chenghai put down the teacup, leaned back in the chair, and raised his eyes to look at Steward Kang. "What is Ning Wangfu's move?"

"King Ning hurried over, I'm afraid it's because of this matter to upset the eldest princess."

"Ye Ziyuan has lived until now, and he is so soft-hearted, and he still doesn't know how to lift it. Sending someone to the city defense governor's mansion, this Lord Cui should also share his worries for this phase. ”

"Yes, Xiangye!"

Steward Kang lowered his eyebrows and took the order.

Then he took out a letter from his arms and handed it over respectfully, "Xiangye, this is news from Lord Erhei." ”

Li Chenghai looked at him, "How is the dark domain?" The person who went in for Erhei, but dealt with it? ”

"Not yet, Lord Sun of Nanzhen Renji, waiting for the Holy Lord's edict!"

"Wait for the hand? Go and tell him, 'He who knows the times is a good man'!" Finally, don't wait for your own time to die."

"Yes, the old slave will go and tell him," Steward Kang smiled slightly.

"Dali Si inspected the corpses, and gave few clues, saying that it was disease and poisoning, and it was vague for a while. An Shaoqing frowned. Yuan Gang stayed in the Dali Division for three days to conduct secret investigations. Li Chenghai read the content of the letter with a smile, and then the letter fell to the ground as soon as he raised his hand.

"It seems that Ann-sama needs a helper."

He stood up, looked at the Hundred Fortune Map, and waved his hand to Steward Kang.

Steward Kang saluted slightly, turned around and retreated.

As soon as I walked out of the door, I remembered that when the prime minister and the ministers were discussing matters, a maid in Ning Xue Courtyard was standing outside the hall with a tray and eavesdropping.

He paused slightly, stood at the door and looked at Li Chenghai inside, didn't dare to speak, bowed his head and left.

In Ning Xue's courtyard, Aunt Xue was sitting at the table tying a knot, and Baozhu came over and whispered a few words in her ear.

"What? Sent someone to Xinzhou,"

"Well, a maid heard it with her own ears. It is said that Hui Guogong bullied men and women, and disregarded people's lives. The people of Xinzhou who complained about him had already entered Zhaocheng and were hidden by people with intentions. ”

"Who is so bold as to dare to go against Xiangye?"

"The slave doesn't know! However, Xiangye's face is not good, and my aunt should be careful at night. ”

"Hey, what should come will always come, and you can't hide if you want to."

Aunt Xue put down the Yingluo knot in her hand and said with a little contemplation, "Naxinzhou, although it is located in a remote area, can be close to the Xihe River, and you can enter Zhaocheng in less than half a month by taking the waterway from the Xihe River!" Moreover, Xinzhou has been an important military town since ancient times. Losing it is equivalent to losing Jiangyun and the Xinzhou Army! Xiangye must be bored、"

"Auntie is really well-informed," Baozhu stepped forward and rubbed her shoulder and smiled.

"Who's that eavesdropping girl? Bring her over and I'll take a look," Aunt Xue thought for a moment and ordered Baozhu.

"It is said that it is called Qingling, and I have been in the house for half a month, and I have been in Shumengyuan. Somehow, he was transferred to our yard. The slave maid saw that she was stout and could do some rough work, so she stayed. Who would have thought, she was too bold to dare to go to the front hall to eavesdrop, what if she was discovered by Xiangye? ”

The orb stopped, "The slave will go to her."

As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw Steward Kang pacing back and forth in the courtyard with his head down.

"Steward Kang, it's so late, do you have something to do with your aunt?"

"Well, there's something. Aunt is available? ”

"Yes, please come with me," Baozhu turned around and led Steward Kang in, "Auntie, Steward Kang is here,"

"But Xiangye has something to say?" Aunt Xue in the room got up and asked.

"No, the old slave has a few words that he wants to say to his aunt alone," Steward Kang looked at the jewel and said no more.

"Baozhu, you go and prepare a soup bath," Aunt Xue motioned for Baozhu to go out to find Qingling.

"The slave and maid are retired,"

After Baozhu left, Steward Kang stepped forward and whispered in a heavy tone.

"The maid in my aunt's yard is really bold. dared to eavesdrop on the prime minister in the front hall discussing national affairs with the ministers. If you are found by Xiangye, you will lose your head! ”

Aunt Xue's heart tightened, and she pretended to be calm and smiled, "Uncle Kang, don't scare me?" Would the people in my yard dare do that? ”

"Scaring you? The cyan belt around his waist can't lie. If it weren't for the old slave passing by, the maid was frightened and walked away. I'm afraid that at this time, Aunt Xue won't be sitting here talking to the old slave."

"Uncle Kang, Xiangye, but, also," Aunt Xue looked at Steward Kang at a loss.

"Xiangye doesn't know yet, but I'm afraid that in the future,"

Steward Kang looked at her, and his tone was full of comfort and warning, "The old slave came to my aunt late at night, but I didn't want anything to happen to my aunt. The aunt should make a decision as soon as possible, don't let an irrelevant maid take her future and life. ”

"Yes, Uncle Kang is right! Ning Xue thanks Uncle Kang for saving his life tonight! Aunt Xue saluted sincerely, and even said her maiden name.

"Okay, no need to be polite. The old slave didn't want his aunt to be in danger. I hope my aunt will deal with this matter as soon as possible."

Steward Kang saluted slightly and turned to leave.

Aunt Xue watched Steward Kang go out.

She didn't expect that Steward Kang didn't tell Xiangye, and would look for her in private.

After a while, Baozhu took Qingling into Ningxue Courtyard.

"Auntie, she's coming," Baozhu closed the door after entering the door.

"Slave Qingling, I've seen my aunt," Qingling bowed her head and saluted.

"Raise your head, let me take a closer look,"

The smile on Aunt Xue's face was very beautiful and gentle, "You look ordinary, but when you start doing things, why can't you be ordinary?" But eat the bear's heart leopard gall? Dare to go to the front hall to eavesdrop, I don't want my life? ”

"The slave didn't dare. Tonight, when the prime minister was discussing with the ministers, the slave maid happened to go to deliver tea. When he heard the excitement inside, he didn't dare to disturb it, let alone leave, so he stood outside and waited. Qingling replied calmly and unhurriedly.

"Dare to quibble? If it weren't for Steward Kang not exposing you, would you still have your life? ”

Aunt Xue glared at her, her face gloomy, "If Xiangye knows, I will have to be implicated with you." Say! Who the hell are you? Why did you come to the Prime Minister's House? But Aunt Shu sent you over to frame me? ”

"The slave maid was bought from the market, and Aunt Shu said that the slave maid was strong and could do some rough work for Ning Xue Yuan, so she sent the slave and maid over! Tonight, the slave maid just went to deliver tea, and did not eavesdrop. It's they who say it too loudly, the slave and the maid have no choice, and the slave and maid can't be blamed for this," Qingling lowered her head, still not admitting it, and there was no trace of panic.

"Yan Shu, this little hoof, actually used such despicable means to frame me!"

Aunt Xue stood up and shouted fiercely. "Still not telling the truth? I think it's 'no tears if you don't see the coffin'! Come on, let's hit 30 boards first, and then send them to the firewood room to starve for three days. ”

"Yes, auntie!" As soon as the jewel beckoned, several mothers-in-law stepped forward and pressed Qingling.

Qingling didn't struggle, and let them push and shove out of Ning Xue Courtyard.

As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw Li Chenghai coming over.

Baozhu was startled, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, and several mothers-in-law were also frightened to kneel, but they were still dragging Qingling in their hands.

"What's going on?" Li Chenghai asked with a smile, "Did someone make Ning Xue angry?" ”

"Back to Xiangye, this girl hit her aunt on the head. My aunt fined her thirty boards, and we were about to execute it! ”

"Well, if the subordinate is disobedient, he should be punished! You can't make a mistake in our house, let's go," Li Chenghai glanced at Qingling and waved his hand.

"Yes!" Several mothers-in-law got up and pulled Qingling away.

When Qingling passed by Li Chenghai's side, her lips were tightly closed, her eyes were cold, and the cold light was shining!

If the eyes can kill, then Li Chenghai at this time has already been killed on the spot!

"Get up, is Ning Xue asleep?"

"No, no," Baozhu was nervous in his heart, bowed his head and replied, "Auntie has been waiting for Xiangye,"

"She's always been like that. If she doesn't get it, she'll keep waiting."

Li Chenghai looked at the slender and feminine figure in the room in front of him, and smiled faintly, "No need to tell me, you can also step down, and go in by yourself." ”

"Yes!" Baozhu was stunned for a moment and replied.

Seeing Li Chenghai enter the house with a smile, she stood in place, her eyes flashing slightly, and her hands kept wringing handkerchiefs.

At this time, Aunt Xue was sitting at the table, looking at the half-beaten Yingluo knot in a daze.

I don't know who this Qingling is? What does it have to do with Aunt Shu? What have you learned in the past few days?

Since entering the Prime Minister's Mansion, she knows that the backyard in the mansion will not be her own, and she also knows that the favor of the Prime Minister will not always be her talisman! Therefore, she tolerates everywhere, calms people everywhere, and protects her subordinates everywhere.

But Yan Shu's arrival broke her originally peaceful life.

Yan Shu is petite and cute, dancing charmingly, and Xiangye's soul has been taken away by her.

The dancing shadows in the Shumeng Courtyard flickered, and the night sang and sang. And she was lonely and cold here, and she felt a crisis she had never felt before!

When Li Chenghai entered the house, Aunt Xue lowered her head and wiped her tears, and asked out loud without looking at it.

"Thirty boards, so soon?"

"Come to think of it," Li Chenghai smiled lightly, "Ning Xue, but do you want to be supervised by the prime minister himself?" ”

"Xiang, Xiangye?" Aunt Xue was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly got up to greet her, "I don't know if the concubine is the master?" It's rude—"

"It's okay, what are you doing?"

"Yes, in the knot," Aunt Xue looked at him with a frightened look in her eyes and replied with a stammer.

"But for the real picture?"

"Exactly, it's not done yet." Aunt Xue reached out and picked up the Yingluo knot on the table, "The concubine is not playing well, please atone for your sins!" ”

"Very good," Li Chenghai glanced at it, and pulled her to sit on the edge of the bed with a smile, "The original appearance is lacking, wait for the original appearance to rest,"

"Yes," Aunt Xue trembled and put down the curtain and lay down.
