Zhao Kuo shook the folding fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "Leave a line in your work, and see you in the future." Everyone is doing business in Beijing, so why make a fuss too ugly, this matter is not done properly by me, I wanted to take the Hou Mansion to make a fortune, but I didn't expect the matter to make a big fuss, and my Zhao family is also Mingzhe to protect himself. ”

Qi Chengxu said to Ji Shu: "Brother Zhao has said so, so don't worry about it." ”

He lowered his voice: "Zhao Kuo promised that I would grant me an official position in the court, or I could go to the Household Department to do something!" ”

"Let's sit down and talk, I'll ask someone to make tea."

Ji Shu led the people out of the hugging building, called someone to bring tea inside, and went back to the backyard.

Xi Tao: "The Zhao family is here to offer their courtesy, isn't it for General Zhenguo?" ”

Qi Ye won the battle, this battle was still won with less, and he entered the Wara Jing Division, winning beautifully, the Zhao family is the leader among the civil officials, but there is no high-ranking helper among the military attachés, and it is not impossible to take the opportunity to win over the Marquis of Wuding.

Ji Shu shook his head, "It won't be so simple. ”

Palace

The heavy eaves roof of glazed tiles and the red lacquered vermilion wall build up a majestic palace.

Behind the hollow Xuan window, there is a delicately dressed lady sitting on the kang of the warm pavilion, she closes her eyes and rests, her appearance is beautiful, but the corners of her eyes and eyebrows reveal a pampered trick, which is very difficult to provoke.

The warm curtain was lifted, and a palace maid walked in, knelt down and said, "Niangniang, Lord Zhao is here to greet Niangniang." ”

Zhao Guifei opened her eyes, "Brother has nothing to do...... Let him in. ”

A moment later, Zhao Guifei's brother walked into the warm pavilion, followed by a man in a cloak, covered very tightly from top to bottom, mysterious and mysterious.

"Say hello to the mother."

"Brother doesn't have to be polite. Who is this? ”

The elder brother of the Zhao family swept over the other people in the warm pavilion, and Zhao Guifei raised his hand and sent them down.

When there was no one, the man in the cloak took off his hood, revealing a face full of frostbite and rotten flesh, and cried: "Mother! ”

"Good, good? Is that you! ”

Zhao Guifei was so frightened that she lifted the brocade quilt on her lap, climbed to the side of the warm kang, Xie Shangshan knelt on the pedal, and grabbed Zhao Guifei's hand.

"Mother! It's me! I'll almost never see you again! ”

"My son! How did you, how did you become like this! What about the people who follow you?! ”

"Mother, they are all dead, and I am the only one left...... Woooooo ”

The mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried, and the elder brother of the Zhao family sighed: "The princess was chased and killed all the way, and she mixed in the beggars before she entered the Beijing division and came to the Zhao family for help." ”

Zhao Guifei: "Shan'er, tell me what happened!" Who harmed you?! ”

"It's Qi Ye! It's definitely him! ”

Zhao Guifei pulled Xie Shangshan onto the warm kang, wrapped her in a brocade quilt, and handed over the tea.

Xie Shangshan held the tea bowl, recalling the past few months, afraid and hateful, she told the story:

"I was afraid that the eldest prince of Wara would be arrested and confess Zhao Li, and I would be implicated if I stayed, so I hurriedly took someone away. Who knew that not far from Yan'an Mansion, the pursuers came! They chased me all the way to the outside of the Beijing Division, and even released wolves to bite me, but fortunately I pushed the maid out, otherwise I would have died in the wolf's mouth! ”

Brother of the Zhao family: "The princess is full of wounds, and she was bitten by a wolf on her leg and was not treated in time...... It also left sequelae. ”

Xie Shangshan hugged the concubine and cried bitterly, "Mother! You have to find someone to treat me, I don't want to be lame, I don't want to be lame! ”

Zhao Guifei slapped a few small tables with one palm, trembling with anger.

"Damn Qi Ye! Shan'er rest assured, the mother concubine will ask your brother to avenge you! ”

robbed the military exploits of the three princes, copied the distant relatives of the Zhao family, and chased and killed Xie Shangshan, this case, Qi Ye don't think about it!

"And that Lin Sui! I'm going to kill her first! If it weren't for her, Qi Ye wouldn't have done this to me! ”

Brother Zhao: "Don't worry, Niangniang, I have already gone to check the identity of this person." ”

Zhao Guifei patted Xie Shangshan's back to comfort her, and first called her aunt to come in and take Xie Shangshan down.

"Brother sent Shan'er back, why do you want to do this?"

"The princess has been to Yan'an Mansion, and it is not appropriate for the emperor to know."

"Why is that?"

"Qi Ye returned to Beijing safely, and he will definitely investigate the reinforcements, and in order to calm his grievances, none of the officials on the grain transportation line can escape. The Zhao family has to withdraw from this first, otherwise coupled with Zhao Li's affairs, it will anger the emperor. ”

Zhao Guifei: "This Qi Ye is really in the way. ”

Oil and salt didn't enter, the Zhao family wanted to win him over, but he didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't know anything at all.

"It's also a good opportunity for him to return to Beijing, he used to be in Yan'an, and the emperor was far away, and now he may be able to take the opportunity to get rid of him."

Brother Zhao said: "Zhao Kuo of the second uncle's family has already gone to contact the second master Qi of the Wuding Hou Mansion, this Qi Chengxu is a fool, so foolish, I just heard that he married a shrewd lady, and all the condolences sent to the Hou Mansion in the past few days have been returned." ”

"I've heard about this palace, it's the girl of the Ji family, right?"

"Not bad."

"Her father's old Confucian is often against her father."

"In the court, there are no eternal enemies, no eternal friends, only eternal interests."

Brother Zhao said calmly: "It's okay if you don't understand, just be in the palace and take care of your body and the emperor." ”
