Zhang Liang arrived in the backyard of the palace, and when he saw Bai Song's big house, his old face couldn't help but blush, and he originally wanted to say something private to his daughter in the room, but he could only wait for his daughter to come out outside the courtyard and say a few words simply.

Yuhan's child was the first, seeing that his body had changed slightly, Zhang Liang was also very happy when he looked at his daughter, lest his daughter blow the wind and beckoned her to stand under the leeward eaves to talk.

"Yuhan, are you still used to living in the palace? Have you ever been bullied? If you are bullied, Dad can also put some pressure on that kid in the court, and you can ensure the stability of your mother and son. ”

"Dad, what do you say? My daughter is fine in the palace, and my sisters are very good to me. ”

"That's good, this is the palace after all, and it's not easy for our father and daughter to see each other once. Seeing you happy, I feel at ease as a father. ”

"Hmm."

"Girl, you go into the house first, and when Dad sees you, he will leave first."

"In such a hurry? Don't stay to eat? ”

"It's not proper, there are so many people in the palace, what kind of system does my father have to stay for dinner? Hurry back to the house and don't get cold. ”

Zhang Yuhan was a little reluctant, but he was helpless, nodded and was helped back to the room by the maid.

At this time, Bai Song didn't know where to go, and Zhang Liang didn't want to say hello anymore, so he turned around and left.

But just after walking a short distance, he suddenly heard an unfamiliar voice behind him: "Master Zhang." ”

Zhang Liang looked back and found a middle-aged man in a wheelchair looking at him with a light smile.

"You are?"

"Master Zhang, come with me, someone wants to meet you."

"Who?"

"Don't worry, this is the Beiding Palace, and no one will pose any threat to Bai Song's father-in-law."

Zhang Liang looked left and right, there was no one in the corridor he was in, and this lame man was a little weird, giving people a cold feeling.

However, Zhang Liang thought about it, and he couldn't think of any danger in this place, so he followed the lame man slowly towards the palace garden.

At this time, it was getting late, and Zhang Liang didn't know where he had gone, but he saw a tower still lit up.

Inside the tower, the cripple stopped, sat in a wheelchair and pointed inside the tower.

Zhang Liang hesitated, but walked in.

Inside the tower, a sickly young woman lies on her side on a chaise longue, wrapped in a futon, tight and impermeable.

"Master Zhang."

"You are?"

"I am the Lord of the Pearl."

"Pearl...... Princess? ”

Zhang Liang was taken aback, he knew this county lord, hesitated for a moment and then arched his hand: "The lower official sees the county lord, I don't know what the county lord summoned late at night, what is the so-called matter?" ”

"Originally, I was supposed to visit Lord Zhang in person, but my lord also saw that the little woman was unfortunately injured and couldn't leave the house for a while, so I asked Lord Zhang to move here."

Zhang Liang smiled: "If the county lord has something, just ask for it." Even if it doesn't look at Lord Bai's face, even if it is for the sake of the sisterhood between the county lord and the little girl Yuhan, the lower officials will try their best to cooperate. ”

"Master Zhang, as far as your current relationship with my husband is concerned, is the two families already sharing weal and woe, advancing and retreating in unison?"

The topic shifted a little suddenly, Zhang Liang paused, and then smiled: "That's natural." ”

"What does Lord Zhang think of the future of the Beiding Palace?"

Zhang Liang is very strange, what is the purpose of a county lord asking this?

Zhang Liang was just about to say a few words, but he didn't want the county lord to interrupt directly: "Lord Zhang should know that my husband has accepted the compilation of Tang History, right?" ”

Nod your head.

"Then does Lord Zhang know how my husband will deal with this matter?"

"This ...... Xia Guan didn't quite understand, and I believe that Lord Bai would make the right choice. ”

"This question has already been confessed to everyone in the palace, and he will follow the steps of the Qin family and continue to defend the truth of the story. Can Master Zhang think of it? ”

“……”

This time, Zhang Liang was silent.

Zhang Liang didn't believe the whole answer, and with his understanding of Bai Song, he thought that Bai Song would not be such a choice.

The county lord of Mingzhu was very calm, and pointed to the stool in the tower: "If Lord Zhang is not in a hurry, you can sit down and listen to my story, as long as you know why the little woman was injured, the adult should know whether it is true or not." ”

Zhang Liang rubbed his hands, looked back at the night outside, and suddenly felt a hint of coldness.

After a pause, Zhang Liang finally stepped forward and sat down, patiently listening to the county lord tell the story of her injury.

After a quarter of an hour, the story of the lord of Mingzhu County had been told, and the lame man outside went to the attic in a wheelchair, and with a wave of his hand, the true qi drove the tower doors to all close, blocking the cold wind outside.

Zhang Liang didn't feel warm, and felt goosebumps on his body.

He didn't know why the county lord wanted to tell him about these private things, but if this matter was true, then Bai Song had obviously committed a great sin.

And Bai Song's choice has nothing to question.

"Master Zhang, if you still have any doubts, you can go to Zhang Yuhan for verification."

"County Lord, what are you telling your subordinates for?"

"I want adults to understand their situation, and I hope they can make some changes in the future."

"Change? What has changed? ”

"The period of the year is approaching in a flash, and perhaps in less than a year, a conflict will inevitably break out between the Beiding palace and the imperial palace. When the conflict comes, the current power of the palace is like a rootless duckweed, which will be scattered if it is gently blown by the wind, and Lord Zhang will also be implicated. My husband is a benevolent and righteous person, he is very capable, but he does not show his edge, and in such a state, it is difficult to save everyone in the future crisis.

Behind him, it takes some people to do something that the husband is unwilling to do, in order to cope with the changes after a year. Mr. Zhang is the main examiner this year, and he can get in touch with the newcomers of the court for the first time, and this new power of the court will play a vital role in the future. What you should know. ”

Zhang Liang wrinkled his eyebrows and nodded: "Don't worry, the county lord has his own measure in this matter, and he has selected a few reliable people among the many candidates, and he will definitely be able to help Lord Bai in the future." ”

"It's not enough."

"How is it not enough? Is there not enough people? ”

"No, it's not faithful enough." The county lord of Mingzhu said slowly, "If you encounter an ordinary situation, I believe that everyone is loyal to the palace, but what if there is a conflict between the palace and the imperial court?" Are those people loyal to the court or to the palace? What the Beiding Royal Mansion needs is not loyalty, but dead soldiers, who will pull out a bayonet from anyone in the world, even the one who is high. ”

Zhang Liang's legs were weak, and he was almost about to fall.

At such a young age, can you say such a rebellious thing smoothly?

Seeing Zhang Liang's expression, Lord Mingzhu smiled: "Look, even Lord Zhang will become hesitant, let alone others?" Lord Zhang, will you be absolutely loyal to the palace? ”

"I ...... Of course! ”

"My lord, I don't think you have that determination at all, so today I want to help you make that decision."

Zhang Liang felt that something was wrong and instinctively pushed two steps back.

Suddenly, a hand behind him gently took off him, and the lame man pushed the wheelchair to Zhang Liang, holding a pill in his hand, and whispered: "Lord Zhang, take it, and the county lord will believe in your loyalty." ”
