Dayu Execution Officer, begins to torture the demon girl's fiancee

Chapter 60 The Empress Dowager's Special Reward (Two in One)

"Are these dishes enough? Do you want my sister to ask the kitchen to make some for you? You've been hungry and thin these days."

The dining hall of Zheng Guogong's mansion was brightly lit in the evening, Mr. Zhao Xiaogong sat at the head of the dining table and ate dinner slowly, while looking at his elder sister with distressed eyes.

"These eight dishes are definitely enough for me to eat."

Zhao Cuo said with a little shame, during this period of time, he was in the Execution Department and let the restaurant deliver food every day. If he didn't grow meat, it would be good. How could he lose weight?

"Eat more meat."

Zhao Shangxin nodded and put a big chicken leg in his bowl.

"Wrong, you haven't closed your eyes these days, have you? Go to rest after you're full. The case entrusted to you by the empress dowager has already been solved, right?"

"It's not surprising that it is like this."

Zhao Cuo nodded lightly. Under his command, the Execution Division arrested all the personnel of the Huting Chamber of Commerce in Beijing. They, who had been abandoned by King Youjun, naturally couldn't make any more waves.

The next thing to do is to compile all the criminal facts that have been found out into a book, and transfer the prisoner to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial. This is some finishing work.

That's why he can now enjoy the love of his elder sister at home.

"That's good."

Miss Zhao let out a long breath, and then the corners of Fenrun's mouth turned up again, and she looked at her younger brother with even more gentle eyes.

"It's a terrible mistake. You have solved such a big case, and my sister will know that you will not lose to anyone."

"Isn't it too late for you to find out now?"

Zhao Cuo said seriously.

"You should be more modest."

Zhao Shangxin stretched out Bai Shengsheng's slender jade fingers amusedly and poked his forehead, then naturally took out a handkerchief and wiped his oil-stained lips, like a maid serving her master's meal.

"Speaking of which, tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival."

she said suddenly.

"Is there any arrangement in the house?"

Zhao Cuo, who was not interested in celebrating the festival, said casually.

"Father and mother are far away in the south of the Yangtze River. We can't have a reunion dinner. I heard that there is a lantern festival at Wanyueba Lake. How about you go shopping with your sister? Then I will introduce some girls from good families to you. .”

"I have a sister, what other girl do I need?"

Zhao Cuo said bluntly, what he said sounded like he was praising Zhao Shangxin, but in fact it was an expression of rejection with high EQ.

"Nonsense."

Zhao Shangxin blushed and gave him a white look, unconsciously rippling in his heart, and then hummed softly with a bit of jealousy:
"You just say this now to make my sister happy. When I see Huan Feiyanshou, I don't know where to throw me."

"How could it be...Sister Xiangxin ranks first in my heart."

Zhao Cuo's eyes glanced at her sister's half-heaviness on the table without any trace, and suddenly found that she was rubbing her fragrant shoulders with her small hands, and her thin willow eyebrows were slightly frowned.

"Is your shoulder uncomfortable?"

"fine."

Seeing him asking about this, Xin Xin immediately lowered her hand, pretending nothing happened.

"Shall I give you a massage?"

Of course Zhao Cuo knew why her sister's shoulders were sore. It was obvious at a glance. Most things in the world have two sides.

"Eat your meal." Zhao Shangxin glared at him feigning anger and then changed the subject, "Do you agree to accompany my sister to enjoy the lanterns tomorrow night?"

"If nothing happens."

He still doesn't mind spending some time with his sister.

"That's fine then."

Zhao Shangxin nodded in satisfaction.

"Master and Miss."

The housekeeper suddenly walked in with his head down.

"Aunt Feiwu from the palace is here."

"The Empress Dowager will not call you into the palace by mistake at this time, will she?"

Zhao Shangxin pursed her lower lip.

' On the night of my wedding, she let me stand outside the bedroom all night. '

Zhao Cuo said something in his heart, he had already expected that the woman would send someone over, he stood up, smiled as usual and said:

"Sister Xiangxin, you can continue to eat. I'll go see Aunt Feiwu. I'll come over and tell you what's the matter."

"No."

Zhao Shangxin also stood up.

"My lady's people came here to spread the word, it's not proper for me to eat here, just go there together."

The two siblings came to the reception hall of the mansion.

"Master Zhao."

Feiwu saluted Zhao Cuo respectfully, but only nodded when facing Zhao Shangxin, which was a very obvious difference.

"Don't dare."

Zhao Cuo bowed his hand and returned the salute inexplicably.

"This time, the concubine is sending a message to the young master on behalf of the empress."

Feiwu lowered his head and faced Zhao Cuo with the posture of a subordinate.

"The empress dowager said that the son will enter the palace by himself tomorrow morning, and she will reward you well."

'No need! '

The corner of Zhao Cuo's mouth twitched.

"Thank you, Miss Feiwu, for a trip. I will enter the palace as soon as possible tomorrow, thank you for your kindness."

He said with a calm smile on the surface.

"That concubine resigned."

Feiwu gave him a blessing.

"it's wired……"

After watching her leave, Zhao Shangxin turned his head to look at Zhao Cuo, and said doubtfully:
"Why does Aunt Feiwu seem to be respectful to you right or wrong? She even saluted you just now, and she didn't treat our parents like that."

"Maybe it's because I just made a great contribution."

Zhao Cuo knew in his heart that this was definitely not the reason. He felt that the reason was that the woman teased him in an ambiguous way again and again, and Fei Wu, who saw these things in his eyes, changed his attitude towards him, a concubine's favorite.

"Your Majesty won't let you rest during the festival..."

Zhao Shangxin wrinkled her pretty little nose after accepting his statement.

"calm down."

Zhao Cuo said with a smile.

"She asked me to go there in the morning, and I should be able to come back to accompany you before evening, don't worry."

"You have to get up early tomorrow, go to bed early tonight, and go take a bath."

Die laughing, don't sleep at all.

"I broke the Yinbi Painting Boat case, why are you still losing your temper?"

After Zhao Cuo took a bath and changed his clothes, he returned to the bedroom. Looking inside the Ming Palace, he found that the golden dragon vein worm was still rolling, its red eyes seemed to contain helpless tears, and its tail covered with dragon scales was like a whip. Beating on the ground, the Pure Love Gu in the corner was frightened to death.

"I failed to bring King Youjun to justice, so you are unhappy?"

He said reassuringly.

"Next time I will definitely ruin his reputation and let the world know that Dayu is completely hopeless. Are you satisfied with this?"

The dragon vein worm suddenly seemed to cry louder. Zhao Cuo stopped talking to it, and began to meditate cross-legged and began to reflect on himself in his heart.

'How did I handle the drinking and painting boat case this time?Let's still qualify, right?But if I cooperate with King Youjun to make his plan succeed this time, let Mrs. Yan take the unwarranted guilt and create an unjust case, it will put the Queen Mother in a disadvantageous position and greatly damage the national fortune. '

Zhao mistakenly admitted that he had thought about doing this.

"But if you do such a thing, what right do you have to avenge the shame on that woman?"

It was another night of meditation practice, and when it was dawn the next day, Zhao Cuo drove the carriage to the imperial city after eating breakfast.

"Your Majesty hasn't woken up yet."

Zhao Cuo took the token and walked into the East Palace unimpeded all the way, and arrived outside the bedroom of the Empress Dowager Zhao with ease, and Feiwu, who was guarding the door, saluted him and said at the same time.

"Young master, please wait patiently."

"Ah."

Mr. Zhao Xiaogong nodded. This situation was expected. Doesn't he know the character of Zhao Qinglan's woman?
"Come with my concubine."

Feiwu suddenly turned around and gently pushed the bedroom door open.

"Didn't the aunt say that the empress is still sleeping?"

Zhao Cuo froze for a moment.

"Your Majesty said that you will be taken directly to the inner hall when you come."

"I'll just wait outside."

Zhao Cuo said decisively.

"This……"

Feiwu looked back at him with some embarrassment.

"I'll just go in."

Zhao Cuo had no choice but to surrender. He didn't like to embarrass innocent people, and Feiwu just accepted the woman's order.

"Thank you sir."

Feiwu said with a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty means to ask Young Master to wait by the bed."

After entering the hall, Feiwu spoke cautiously again.

"I see."

Zhao Cuo walked to the back of the screen with light steps, and what poured into his nostrils was the cool and sweet mint-like fragrance of the Queen Mother. This woman was lying on the soft couch in the same bad sleeping position as her own personality.

One of her fully exposed lotus arms stretched over her head, half of the thin gold quilt covering her youthful body slipped to the ground, and a white, tender and slender leg protruded from the quilt to rest on the side of the bed.

The dark red soft long hair like fireworks is scattered, and the small face, which is more picturesque than the Jiangnan landscape on the screen, reveals a rare tranquility, and the pink and thin lips are slightly raised, as if they are still domineering in a dream.

'Bad girls look good when they don't talk. '

This idea came to Zhao Cuo's mind.

Then he felt sick.

How could this female devil be associated with the word "cute"?

"Is it a new fetish to have people watch you sleep?"

Zhao Cuo was a little impatient. Looking at the bed sheet that had fallen to the ground, he thought for a while, then stepped forward and bent down to gently pull it up.

"Well……"

A muffled murmur sounded, and Grandpa Zhao, who had succeeded in his scheme, raised his head and met a pair of majestic pale golden phoenix eyes.

"Good morning."

Zhao Cuo greeted the empress dowager who had just opened her eyes and was still a little confused with her usual expression.

"Young lady, your quilt fell to the ground. I'll help you pick it up. If you're sleepy, go to sleep for a while."

He said softly.

"Humph!"

The Empress Dowager Zhao stared at his handsome face for a while, then suddenly narrowed her beautiful eyes with a cold expression, and said in a cold tone:

"I hate people disturbing my slumber the most. The last maid who dared to wake me up is still playing the remaining value in the mine. Do you want to accompany her?"

The faint aura exuded by her exquisite and beautiful body made Zhao feel as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

"But~"

After the empress dowager finished speaking, she raised her jade hand and poked his side with a smile like a flower.

"For the sake of how much I like you, forgive you."

"Thank you ma'am..."

Zhao Cuo's eyes twitched.

"Come sit next to me."

The queen mother patted the bed with a smile.

'Is it appropriate for me, a foreign minister, to climb on the empress dowager's phoenix bed? '

Zhao Cuo knew that he had better not question this woman, not to mention that sitting on the bed would definitely be more comfortable than standing, so he chose to obey.

But as soon as she sat down, the Empress Dowager Zhao, who looked exactly like a beautiful girl, turned sideways in the bed, moved her delicate body and leaned towards him.

Finally, he put his little head on his lap.

"Did you wake me up on purpose just now?"

The Empress Dowager Zhao looked at Young Master Zhao with a stiff face playfully, raised her hand to caress his cheek gently from bottom to top, and then said in an unquestionable tone:

"I'll make a note of it this time. Occasionally, I will suffer from insomnia when I encounter troublesome things. When the time comes, I will call you to coax me to sleep and make amends. If you can't make me fall asleep, I will settle the old and new scores with you." !"

Her last words were uttered in a cold tone.

"The minister is guilty."

Zhao Cuo, who had already considered the consequences when he decided to wake her up, responded calmly. He felt that the problem now was that the woman rested her head on him, but when he thought that she was just using him as a pillow from above, his mood calmed down. .

"The Empress Dowager."

Feiwu suddenly walked in, and when she saw her master resting her head on the lap of a noble son, she lowered her head in cold sweat again.

"What's the matter?"

The queen mother asked lazily.

"Your Majesty greets you."

Feiwu said in a respectful voice.

"Let him in."

The Empress Dowager Dayu's tone was as casual as if she was talking about cats and dogs.

"Yes."

Feiwu retreated slowly.

"that……"

Zhao, who already felt a little bad when he heard this, made a mistake.

"Aren't you going to sit up first?"

"why?"

The queen mother looked at him with strange eyes.

"I'm the one talking too much."

Zhao Cuo wisely shut up, and at this moment there were faint footsteps outside the screen, followed by a warm and gentle male voice.

"The son and minister greet the queen mother."

'This is Emperor Yongzhao who has a strong desire to survive? '

Curiosity arose in Zhao Cuo's heart, and he had the urge to go out and have a look at the nominal supreme ruler of Dayu, but he gave up this idea when he thought about where he was now.

"What's the matter?"

The empress dowager still rested her small head on his lap, and replied lazily, with the meaning of chasing a guest with her mouth.

Zhao Cuo felt a little excitement when he realized that he was worthless.

The king of a country is respectful outside...

'Your mother is lying on my lap. '

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I want to hold a family banquet in the palace, and I want to ask my mother's opinion."

As soon as Emperor Yongzhao said this, Zhao Cuo felt a little sympathetic to him. He is the king of the emperor, so he doesn't even have the right to hold some activities during the festival?

"Oh."

Empress Dowager Zhao raised her hand to play with Zhao Cuo's hair on the temples and said with a lack of interest.

"Go ahead and do it. Ben Gong won't participate. If you have nothing to do, you can leave."

Listening to the sound of "My son is leaving", she suddenly seemed to think of something interesting and cast her eyes on Zhao Cuo.

"Zhao Cuo, you did a good job this time, what do you want me to reward you for? Just say it."

Her thin lips raised a slight arc.

"I don't dare to ask for rewards where my responsibility lies."

Zhao Cuo didn't want this witch's stuff. The last time I gave him a pill, there was a pitfall, this bad woman!

"I said last time that I wanted to give you a special reward, right?"

The queen mother looked at him with a smile and said.

"It just so happens that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I condescend to go out of the palace to accompany you to enjoy the lanterns. You will not refuse this kind of favor, will you?"
