The emperor did not take Zhou Cairen's words as true, and she did not show anxiety.

Zhou Cairen took out a beautiful collar from the box, compared it around his neck, and said, "Your Majesty, you help the poor concubine put it on." ”

The Emperor took the collar and put it on her, and the two looked into the bronze mirror.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhou Cairen said coquettishly.

The collar is really suitable for the temperament of Zhou Cairen, and the atmosphere is luxurious. This circle was chosen by Wan Ning, Zhou Cairen looked down at it, and after a while, her face became serious.

The emperor hugged her behind him and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong with the talented people?" It's pretty good, don't you like it? ”

Zhou Cairen shook his head: "No, the emperor, the poor concubine likes it very much." This circle is not only beautiful, but also suitable for poor concubines. With that, there was silence again.

"You seem to have something to say?" The Emperor asked.

Zhou Cairen turned his face slightly and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the poor concubine just told you that it is true to see people making trouble in the market. She turned around and looked at the emperor, "The poor concubine didn't tell you a joke, and she didn't dare." At the feet of the Son of Heaven, how could a poor concubine joke about such a thing? Even the emperor thinks it is impossible, and once it happens, the poor concubine will not dare to joke with you. ”

The emperor finally believed a little: "What's the matter? ”

"It is indeed a murder case in the official house that caused the people to make trouble. The poor concubine guessed that if she didn't say it, the emperor would never know anything. They must be afraid that the emperor will come here and will settle the matter. But whether it can solve the problem fundamentally, the poor concubine does not know. According to passers-by, this incident has been troubled more than once or twice. ”

"What the hell is going on?"

"The poor concubine just listened to the discussion of passers-by, saying that it was Lord Zuo's mansion and a young man died a year ago. The Zuo family said that he died of illness, but the young man's family was unwilling and felt that he had died strangely. The Zuo family thinks that their family members are messing around, which is nothing more than fraud, and the 'lion opens his mouth'. The two sides fought fiercely, and the young man's family gathered the crowd again and again to make trouble. ”

"Lord Zuo? Which left-sama? The Emperor finally asked in detail.

Zhou Cairen lowered his head: "The poor concubine doesn't dare to participate in court politics, and she doesn't want to say it to add to the emperor's sorrows." Those of them who are courtiers, this kind of thing should be able to be solved satisfactorily. ”

"I asked you to say, what are you afraid of, do you want to resist the decree?"

As soon as he heard the words "resisting the decree", Zhou Cairen immediately became nervous: "The poor concubine doesn't dare." This is not a matter that poor concubines should take care of, just to relieve the emperor's sorrows. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the people are too bold to make such a disturbance, thinking that it may not be a trivial matter. At that time, the poor concubine followed to see, and the crowd went to Lord Zuo Linghong's mansion. ”

"Lord Zuo? He's been doing well lately. After a moment of contemplation, he asked, "What do talented people think about this?" ”

Zhou Cairen stretched out his hand to cover his lips: "Your Majesty, in the affairs of the court, the poor concubines dare not participate, let alone ask." ”

"I'm just getting opinions from many sides."

Zhou Cairen leaned on his arms, looking like he had nothing to do with himself: "The emperor is a Ming monarch, how can he let a talented person control the government?" ”

"Don't worry, even if you say yours, I have my own decision."

"Something won't happen to anyone's family, let alone a big family, and it's normal for some miscellaneous things to happen in the world. Although it is such a life-threatening matter, the poor concubines still say that as subordinates, they should be able to solve it properly and not let you worry. In this world, the emperor has to ask about everything, so what is the use of their courtiers? ”

"The talented man has a point."

Zhou Cairen didn't say anything more, but seemed to lean on the emperor's arms with peace of mind.

So far, she has not said a word about Zuo Linghong. Although she didn't know the truth of the incident, she was able to avoid it very skillfully, and let the emperor continue to pay attention to the matter.

The emperor didn't seem to take it seriously on the surface, but he didn't rest in Yunyan Pavilion that night. As for what he thought in his heart, Zhou Cairen didn't know.

When the emperor left Yunyan Pavilion, in addition to Zhou Cairen personally sending him off, Wan Ning also followed.

She guessed that Zhou Cairen would definitely tell the emperor what she encountered outside during the day today, otherwise, she would not let herself avoid it. He diligently sent the emperor out of Yunyan Pavilion, just to see how the emperor reacted when he learned of Zuo Linghong's evil deeds.

But she was probably disappointed, and she couldn't see any reaction, and the emperor's expression was the same as when he came. How else can you say that people are emperors? It's so easy to see joy and anger on your face.

The more the emperor was like this, the more uneasy Wan Ning felt in her heart. After sending the emperor away, she couldn't wait to pull Zhou Cairen into the house and asked, "Cairen, how's it going?" The emperor didn't say how to deal with Lord Zuo? ”

Seeing Wanning's anxious appearance, Zhou Cairen realized that it was fortunate to let Wanning avoid it, otherwise, she would definitely offend the emperor.

"Sister Wan, this matter may not be urgent."

"The emperor doesn't believe it?"

"Sister Wan, do you think I will tell the emperor directly that Lord Zuo is a murderer? Let the emperor bring it to justice? Zhou Cairen paused, "Sister, I understand your feelings, but we have to speak with facts." The truth of the matter is indeed yet to be investigated. And he felt that this kind of thing, those courtiers should be able to solve it properly. So, he probably didn't want to ask too much. Let's think about it at a deeper level, even if Lord Zuo is a murderer, no matter what I say, the emperor believes that he probably won't deal with Lord Zuo at this time. If you have to deal with it within a few days of being promoted, doesn't it show that you don't know how to employ people? ”

It didn't meet what she thought, Wan Ning was indeed a little disappointed, she was anxious, and she stood there speechless for a while.

Xiao Feiyan knew Wan Ning the best, and comforted on the side: "Miss Wan, what the talented person said is right. We also need patience. ”

In the face of this matter, it seems that Wan Ning is the most impatient. It is no wonder that a person of temperament, since the day her father was seriously ill, she has had a good day. How many days and nights, who can understand the pain? This is entirely "attributed" to this left-handed-ama.

Now that she finally has the opportunity to rectify Lord Zuo, how can she let it go?

In fact, Wanning is not impatient, she feels even more that if she doesn't let Zuo Linghong make a mistake through this incident, she is unwilling in her heart.

Gao Ziang knows Wanning best, she must want to use this matter to put Zuo Linghong to death, at least to crack down. But the premise is that the matter is really useful. How the young man in Zuo Linghong's mansion died became the key.

So he dared to ask his father, and he learned from Gao Junming that the young man who worked in Zuofu was indeed seriously ill and died without treatment.
