Chapter 572: The Way of the Emperor

When the peach and plum in the suburbs of the city finally bloomed this year's flowering period, the peony in the tent hall was carefully cared for by the florist and a few are self-beautiful, the breath of spring seems to be not far away, but the sunshine of the last day is more and more scorching, after a few days of recuperation, the skin injury has healed Gao Yuxiang just turned the east corridor, almost fell on the smooth ground like a mirror that piece of golden light dazzled, he squinted the corner of his eyes and looked at this familiar scenery again, and suddenly there was a feeling of resurrection.

He was just released from the dark prison that day, and he still didn't have such a relieved mood, just because although the Queen Mother no longer held him accountable, she ordered him to be on good duty in the Northern Eunuch, and did not immediately hear his grievances, nor did he signal whether to allow him to be reinstated, Gao Yuxiang knew very well that if he only saved one life, but lost the grace of the Queen Mother, then he would be able to survive in the future, not to mention revenge, but he was afraid that sooner or later he would be trampled to death by Dou Fuan.

Even if there are many "sons" who were protected by him in the past, they have tried their best to serve the side of the couch in the past few days, and many appeasements, the Queen Mother has already judged the case of leaking forbidden secrets in Qingming, and explained that everyone can't slack off him, but Gao Yuxiang is still uneasy, until today, the Queen Mother finally saw it, and the swaying heart fell steadily, and finally had the steadiness of the rest of his life.

Although there was a sharp pain in his right ankle every time he took a step, Gao Yuxiang tried to steady his pace, and he did not allow himself to show the slightest embarrassment in the eyes of those who were ridiculed.

All the way to the palace, I saw a lot of familiar faces, all with a very earnest smile, as respectful as before, there are also watchers, those are Dou Fu'an's henchmen, they are cold and full of unwilling eyes, so that Gao Yuxiang is more straight, he is under the gaze of these people, and the palace people are cold and noisy, as if they have never experienced the catastrophe of life and death, and was tortured by Dou Fu'an's old man.

At this time, Gao Yuxiang, of course, already understood whose plot he had fallen, otherwise he would have spent the past ten years in the Forbidden Garden in vain.

Dou Fu'an, let's ride a donkey and read the record book, you wait for me!

Approaching the council room, Gao Yuxiang heard the girl's beautiful voice like a yellow warbler-

"Congratulations to the senior waiter for proving his innocence, you can take care of your body?"

Xie Ying greeted her with a smile, she tilted her head slightly, and a beaded flower on her bun shone in the golden sun, her eyes full of concern.

Gao Yuxiang bowed his waist slightly, chatted with Xie Yinghan, and quickly glanced at Liu Shiniang, who was pruning the flowers and leaves not far away, pointing at the palace people to prune the flowers and leaves, as if he heard Xie Ying's words, and also looked this way, but he only smiled at him, and did not come forward to talk.

Even the Queen Mother valued these two nobles the most and treated him as usual, which finally made Gao Yuxiang completely relieved, lowered his eyebrows more and more, and complimented Xie Ying with a smile.

Moving forward again, I saw several "sons" on both sides of the separate office, all of them were resting and concentrating, Gao Yuxiang understood that the Queen Mother was dealing with state affairs with several ministers, he was not in a hurry to enter, but also stood outside the door, until several important ministers rushed out, even He Zhan, He Xiuneng The two living quarters also withdrew, the palace maid Ah Lu bypassed the screen of the hundred birds and the phoenix, and bowed to this side, Gao Yuxiang tidied up his clothes, took a deep breath, stiffened his ankles and entered gently, he never raised his eyelids in this process, But when his eyes were lowered, when he could see the queen mother's gorgeous skirt, he knelt down a few steps away, and said in a trembling voice: "Sin slave, bow to the queen mother." ”

After this big gift, the sweaty forehead reached the hard ground, and it lasted for half a moment, before Gao Yuxiang heard the faint words of the Venerable One: "This time it is clear that I have wronged you, what is Yuxiang's crime?" ”

The person who confessed the crime did not dare to straighten his waist, and still prostrated his head: "The queen mother has already instructed the slave and maid to act cautiously, and she doesn't want to show her flaws...... Slaves and maids deserve death. ”

The Queen Mother laughed lightly: "Okay, get up, I know that this time you have suffered a lot of grievances, but as you said just now, it is indeed your father and son who acted carelessly, which made Fu'an aware of it, fortunately, this person is Fu'an, not my hostile, otherwise ......"

"Otherwise, even if the slave and maid die, they will not escape the responsibility." Although he gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, he was as obedient as Gao Yuxiang, of course he understood that this was not the time to shout grievances, but he recognized this crime, and he was not so convinced, Zhou Ji's existence, even if he could hide it from the Manchu Dynasty Wenchen, for a long time, but he couldn't hide Dou Fu'an, who mastered the palace ban, the reason why the Queen Mother didn't think so, was that Dou Fu'an didn't dare to speak out even if he found out that it was strange, but Dou Fu'an used this incident to assassinate himself, and the Queen Mother found out the truth, but she did not pursue Dou Fu'an's personal vendetta in the communiqué, His father-in-law Tu Dahai died unjustly in vain, and the suffering of his flesh and skin became his own fault.

It's just that if you stay in Qingshan, you are not afraid of no firewood, as long as you can still win the trust of the Queen Mother, are you afraid that you will not have a chance to take revenge in the future?

Dou Fu'an colluded with foreign ministers in order to repay personal grievances, and secretly gave the queen mother's privacy to people's ears, even if the queen mother was temporarily lenient, there would be mustard in her heart, and one day, Dou Fu'an would no longer have any use value, that is, when he took revenge.

"This matter is over, Hugh has to mention it again, you have been wronged this time, I will naturally remember it in my heart."

Gao Yuxiang kowtowed again: "The slave and maid worship the Queen Mother, although the slave and maid are guilty, but the crime is in acting carelessly, not being disloyal to the Queen Mother." ”

"You can't thank me for this." The Queen Mother leaned back on the brocade couch slightly, her eyes flashed, and then she smiled at the corner of her mouth: "Someone interceded for you, saying that you have always acted cautiously and are loyal to me, and you will definitely not act to leak forbidden secrets, maybe the Yuan family blames you, I calmed down and thought about it carefully, only to find that it was really a little strange, Yuxiang, do you know who is your life-saving benefactor?" ”

Gao Yuxiang was stunned: "Although the slave maid has brought a lot of people, she also understands that these people only have the ability to serve wholeheartedly, and they do not have such courage. ”

When that incident broke out, the Queen Mother was furious, and immediately ordered several people to be executed, and he was also sent to death prison.

"It's Eleven Niang's girl."

"Little lady Liu?" Gao Yuxiang was even more surprised: "The slave maid never expected ......"

Since the release of Gao Yuxiang, the Queen Mother has sent people to keep an eye on the Northern Eunuch Value, and did not find that Eleven Niang had any dealings with Gao Yuxiang.

"You should thank Shi Niang well, if she hadn't reminded me bluntly, I wouldn't have noticed the strangeness in addition to being angry, your little life, but it was folded in the hands of Fu'an, you two are really, obviously you perform your duties and the well water does not violate the river water, but you want to make you live and die, which is really not worry-free."

After the Queen Mother said this, she rubbed her forehead with annoyance, and her eyebrows frowned slightly.

Of course, Gao Yuxiang was not in a hurry to fall into the well, he shrugged his nose and sniffed a few times, and immediately noticed that the incense burner was lit with sandalwood, and hurriedly said: "Although the queen mother likes strong incense, but now it is getting hotter, pure sandalwood will cause restlessness, and the slave maid has already prepared the summer incense, but it is too late to replace it, and it is the slave maid's dereliction of duty." ”

"I've always liked sandalwood, in the past summer and summer, but I didn't feel that it had been replaced, it turned out that you specially blended, no wonder I was impetuous, but I always don't know why." The Queen Mother suddenly realized, and her gaze at Gao Yuxiang softened more and more: "It's not that I have suffered a great grievance in spite of you, it's just that I have come this way, and I have been loyal to Fu'an, and he is at fault this time, but when I think of the old merits, I can't punish you too harshly...... Fu An is in charge of the guards, and it is very difficult to take care of the affairs of supervision, and I have asked him to hand it over to you, and in the future, you will cooperate sincerely to relieve my worries and labor. ”

In addition to being in charge of the guards, Dou Fu'an also has a huge intelligence network that the Queen Mother has painstakingly built over the years, Gao Yuxiang has been coveting it for a long time, and this time he finally got his wish, and he couldn't help but be happy for a while.

It seems that after this incident, Dou Fu'an's collusion with Yuan Dezhi still angered the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother's trust in Dou Fu'an has been shaken, so she decided to weaken the power in Dou Fu'an's hands, Gao Yuxiang immediately knelt down and bowed down, and it was a guarantee that he would not disgrace his mission, and he did not mention the new hatred and old hatred of Dou Fu'an.

The Queen Mother, of course she won't believe that Gao Yuxiang is as broad-minded as she seems, but she doesn't care about the open and secret fights between her right and her right hand, the more powerful Gao Yuxiang and Dou Fu'an are, the more they will keep an eye on each other's words and deeds, no matter which one has different intentions, she will know at the first time, this is the way of the Queen Mother, why does she need the party to unite sincerely?
