Chapter 204 After the fact

Today, there is no dynasty, and when he arrives, Zuo Xiang was summoned to the imperial study by the emperor.

"Your Majesty!" Zuo Xiang hugged his fists and saluted, but looking at the emperor, he always felt that he was a little different today, as if his ass had become a little bigger than before.

"Aiqing is here!" The emperor stood by the window and said, "What happened last night?" ”

Sure enough, the time to come is still coming.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has lived up to your expectations!" With a plop, Zuo Xiang fell simply, knelt directly to the ground, kowtowed and admitted his mistake.

"Don't tell me, you let people run away!" The emperor turned his head and stared at Zuo Xiang, his face was like frost.

Zuo Xiang was embarrassed, took off the official hat on his head, and put it on the ground, "The old minister should die late for his crimes, and the old minister asks His Majesty to let the minister tell the old man to return to his hometown!" ”

"Good! Very good! The emperor laughed angrily, "I have already sensed Yun Di's purpose and asked your subordinates to set up a net in advance, but now you tell me that you let the assassin escape!" ”

"It's all such a big thing, why don't you report it?" The emperor said angrily.

"Your Majesty, you are personally to the minister, let the minister make his own decisions no matter what happens, and wait for the results to be announced tomorrow."

The emperor was stunned, as if he had really said this, "Cough! The emperor coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, "Less useless, you let the assassin go, you, how should I cure your crimes?" ”

"The old minister is terrified, the old minister knows that he will not escape death, and he has sent someone to prepare a coffin, please give the old minister a death."

"You old thing!" The emperor was so angry that he kicked Zuo Xiang to the ground, "I know that there is no one around me to use, and I still expect you to do things for me, so I will advance and retreat!" Do you really dare not kill you? ”

"The old minister doesn't dare, but before Your Majesty kills the old minister first, there is an item, please take a look at it!" Zuo Xiang took out the fake drawings from his arms and presented them to the emperor.

"What does that mean?" The emperor took the drawings for unknown reasons.

"The last time there was the bombing of Miaochun Pavilion, Lao Chen began to lay out and changed the firearm drawings in advance, this time Wu'er accidentally recaptured the fake drawings from the two assassins, and at the same time exposed the wolf ambitions of the second prince." Zuo Xiang said respectfully.

The emperor pondered for a while, "Get up!" ”

"Where is Qi Delong now?"

"Your Majesty, Qi Delong has been transferred to the prison cell of the Criminal Department by the old minister, and the old minister has ordered him to go down and take strict care, and the guards are all the henchmen of the old minister."

"That's good!" The emperor put down the drawings, "You can only watch out for one or two of these, and you can't take down Yundi without evidence." What can you do about this? ”

"Your Majesty, the second prince has been secretly in contact with the imperial merchant Tao family in Jinling City recently." Zuo Xiang began to give advice to the emperor, "Now the Tao family can be in Jinling City, most of the merchants in Jinling City have been the Tao family's head, Your Majesty can do some articles on the Tao family." ”

"Jinling City!" When the emperor heard Jinling City, he thought of the old man, and said quietly, "I heard yesterday that the Xue family was unwilling to join the Tao family, and the family business was only supported by two weak women, and now Xue Ruyue is in the palace again, and yesterday she also appealed to me to let me rescue the Xue family." I could have done something about it. ”

"Shhh The emperor walked to the dragon chair and sat down, but as soon as his swollen ass touched the dragon chair, a cone pain struck, and he jumped up from the dragon chair with his buttocks in disregard.

"Your Majesty! What are you? "Zuo Xiang is puzzled, how can it be good, and it is ejected?

"It's okay! It's just that I was a little tired last night! The emperor pretended to be calm and concealed his embarrassment. He almost didn't sleep all night last night, and for the first time he knew that Nurao was terrifying, and now he still had palpitations when he thought about it, especially the evil leather whip in the hands of the imperial concubine, every time he raised it, he was painful and happy.

"Xuebin! How do you think this matter is handed over to King Qi? The emperor hurriedly changed the topic, "You see that Yun Tao and Xue Ruyue are in love with men and women in Hanfeng Temple, and they share hardships, so it should be a good choice to hand it over to him." ”

"Forehead ......" suddenly mentioned Bi Yuntao, Zuo Xiang was like swallowing a fly, and this diaphragm in his heart should respond.

The cabbage that his family had worked so hard to grow was arched by the pig like this, who can feel good? Especially now that he is still ambiguous with Xue Ruyue, which makes him even more uncomfortable as a father. He got all the good things, and the more he thought about it, the more angry his teeth itched.

"The old minister thinks it's inappropriate!" Zuo Xiang didn't think about it and directly rejected the emperor's proposal, "What you do is a big move!" Since that kind of incident happened between King Qi and Ruoxi, he has been on the cusp, and now letting him come forward to deal with the affairs of the Xue family may only arouse the vigilance of the second prince and take precautions in advance. ”

"Yes! Yours has some point, too. The emperor took a sip of tea, nodded and said, "Then I am thinking about it carefully, Xue Ruyue has not received a reply from me, and she has to stay in the capital for a while, but she is not in a hurry." ”

"Qi Delong remembers to take good care of it, he still has some use for me! If there's nothing to do, let's go down first! I want to be quiet! The emperor said, "As for your punishment, for the sake of your conscientious service, there is no merit and hard work, so forget it." ”

"Next time you mess up this kind of thing, don't blame me for not missing the old relationship between you and me!"

"Yes!" Zuo replied, bowed and exited the imperial study, leaving the emperor alone.

The emperor closed his eyes for a long time before he spoke, "Guizi, how did I ask you to send someone to investigate and protect the Xue family?" ”

"Back to the emperor!" Gonggong Gui quietly walked out from behind the screen, "The slave has already sent someone forward, this is the letter from the past few days, and the emperor is invited to take a look." ”

The emperor took the letter and looked at it one by one, frowning deeper and deeper with each flip of the paper.

"It seems that the Xue family has not been satisfactory all these years!" After reading the last letter, the emperor sighed faintly, "You have been so poor all these years, why don't you come to ask for me?" Could it be that the relationship between you and me has thinned to this extent? ”

Thinking of the resolute and strong woman who made him fall in love, struggling to support the Xue family alone, the emperor's heart was throbbing.

If you miss a moment, you will miss a lifetime.

At that time, it was just that I was greedy for fun, traveled out of Beijing, and when I returned, I learned that she was married.

Now that their respective children have grown up, I don't know if they have always arranged for them to meet each other and have feelings for each other.

Since this is the case, I will find a way to match them, and it will not be in vain to waste the old people's efforts.

Gonggong Gui watched the emperor close his eyes and ponder, quietly retreated, and drank away the surrounding guards, leaving the emperor alone with a sad look.

"Ahh Ahh The sudden sneeze caught Bi Yuntao off guard, rubbing his itchy nose and muttering, "Thinking about it, scolding and talking, who is scolding Lao Tzu!" ”

"Poof!" Meng Ruolang touched the smear on his face and looked at Bi Yuntao sluggishly, "Big brother!" Can you carry someone next time you sneeze? He was about to rise, when he was sprayed all over his face by Bi Yuntao's sudden sneezing, and he didn't pull down his saliva at all, and he accepted it all.

"Ahh Excuse me! Bi Yuntao apologized with a smile, but the expression on his face showed no trace of apology at all, "I don't know who is scolding me, it's too strong for a while, and I can't control myself at all." ”

"Okay!" Meng Ruolang said angrily, "By the way, I've been here for so long, why haven't I seen that girl Lan?" ”

"She!" Hearing Meng Ruolang ask about Lan, the smile on Bi Yuntao's face immediately retracted, and he squinted his eyes and looked at Meng Ruolang with an unkind look, "She didn't rest well last night, I asked her to go back to her room to sleep!" What, you're looking for her? ”

"It's my sister who is looking for her." Meng Ruolang said, "She wants me to ask Lan about what happened to you and Xue Ruyue when you were trapped in the deep mountains. ”

"What are you looking for her to do? I didn't tell her what happened, you go back and tell Ruoxi, if she wants to know, let her come to me herself. ”

Since coming out of the mountains, Meng Ruoxi has not come to visit her once, of course, last night's Shura Field is not counted, where was the visit to the patient last night! The tragedy is comparable to a war without gunpowder!

Hearing Meng Ruolang mention Meng Ruoxi, Bi Yuntao was very unhappy in his heart, I was anxious when you were sick, and I shouted at you and asked for warmth. But you're good, now it's my turn to be injured and hospitalized, not only did I not come to visit, I didn't even say a greeting, it was just too deceitful, there was no me in my heart at all, wait for my injury to heal, see how I clean you up.

"Hey, hey!" Meng Ruolang smiled awkwardly and asked her to go back and tell her sister the truth, he was really an old birthday star who drank poison, and he thought that he had lived too long.

"Since Lan has already fallen asleep, I'll come back another day!" Meng Ruolang sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and quickly stood up and said goodbye.

Meng Ruolang left the Qi Palace, and walked on the way back to the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion. In fact, the purpose of his trip to the Qi Palace's Mansion today was to remind the eldest brother, but when he saw that Lan was eaten to death by the eldest brother, he gave up directly.

Presumably, even if the eldest brother knew that Lan approached him for another purpose, I am afraid that he would not care, and maybe he would know Lan's purpose, and he might even help Lan.

It's good that the eldest brother doesn't know now, there is a good saying, those who don't know are not guilty! If Lan's purpose is exposed and he is caught by the emperor, the eldest brother will not pursue him too much without knowing it.

Now that I think about it, the reason why Lan chose to do it last night is that it is very likely that the imperial concubine is secretly helping. He wouldn't forget that the imperial concubine was from the same country as Lan, and since Lan had other purposes, he would naturally go to the imperial concubine for help. I should have thought of this a long time ago!

No, what are you doing here? As long as you don't delay your sister's affairs, Lan and them can toss as much as they like! Now it happened to be a mistake that made further progress in my sister's affairs. The success of making the emperor pay attention to the second prince is also good news.

Meng Ruolang returned to Zuo Xiang's Mansion with his thoughts, found Meng Ruoxi, and explained to her what happened last night.
