Tortoise of the Great Desolation

Chapter 532 Old Fox

In the end, Zishou rejected Shang Qingjun's proposal for a physical examination.

Ask the palace people to take Shang Qingjun to rest. As for how to arrange her, Zishou still wants to wait until Shang Rong enters the palace for an audience tomorrow and see Shang Rong's attitude.

After Shang Qingjun left, Zishou was the only one left in the side hall.

Looking at the empty hall in front of him, Zi Shou suddenly said, "Yun Xiao, are you still there?"

"?"

In the corner of the main hall, Yun Xiao appeared, looking at Zi Shou suspiciously.

Although she didn't speak, the puzzled look in her eyes already showed her meaning - why?
"It's okay, as long as you're still here." Facing Yunxiao's gaze, Zishou smiled and said with a little embarrassment.

"Shameless." Looking at the smile on Zishou's face, Yunxiao spat lightly, and disappeared into the hall again.

However, although Yunxiao's voice was not loud, how could Zishou not hear it?
Just, shameless?

Looking at the place where Yun Xiao disappeared, Zi Shou was not puzzled.

When did Yun Xiao learn to swear?
The next day, although Shang Qingjun ran away from home, Shang Rong still had to enter the palace to meet Zishou - after all, he had asked Fei Zhong and You Hun to take the words back yesterday, if he didn't go today, then It is the crime of deceiving the king.

However, although he still has to enter the palace, because Shang Qingjun ran away from home, Shang Rong's mood is now better than before.

After all, once Shang Qingjun ran away from home, he would have a more appropriate reason to refuse Zishou's imperial edict—my daughter is gone, how can I enter the palace under the imperial edict?

Asking himself, Shang Rong felt that he was still a good father, so he decided that as long as Shang Qingjun never showed up again, then Shang Qingjun didn't have to die.

Anyway, as long as Shang Qingjun no longer appears, the effect that death can achieve can also be achieved. Even, Zishou's edict forced Shang Qingjun to run away from home. The statement that forced him to strangle Shang Qingjun to death is more convincing to the world, and he can jump out of it perfectly.

In a word - as long as Shang Qingjun doesn't enter the palace, Shang Rong doesn't really care if she lives or dies.

With this mentality, Shang Rong was in a good mood and drove from the manor outside the city to Chaoge City early in the morning, and then entered the palace to ask to see Zishou.

Feiyun Pavilion.

When Emperor Yi was still in power, Feiyun Pavilion was the place where Emperor Yi summoned his ministers.

Although the son has succeeded to the throne now, this point has not changed.

Therefore, Zishou still summoned Shang Rong in Feiyun Pavilion.

When Shang Rong came to Feiyun Pavilion, Zishou was having breakfast inside.

"Veteran Shang Rong, I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Looking at Zishou who was eating, Shang Rong who entered Feiyun Pavilion greeted respectfully, with such a respectful attitude, it was hard to believe that he would say yesterday that he would rather kill Shang Qingjun than let her enter The words of the palace.

However, facing Shang Rong who was saluting, Zi Shou didn't seem to see him.

Slowly finished the cake in his hand, took another sip of porridge, and then looked at Shang Rong who was kneeling on the ground: "The old prime minister is here, please forgive me, the old prime minister is a veteran of the three dynasties, how can such a great gift be made?" ? Come, give the old prime minister a seat."

Although the quilt was deliberately left out, Shang Rong didn't show any expression on his face.

Seeing his son being given the seat at this time, he slowly got up and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving the seat."

However, after giving Shang Rong a seat, Zishou lowered his head and ate, and didn't intend to talk to Shang Rong any more.

Faced with this situation, Shang Rong also showed excellent patience. He just sat there with such a calm face, showing no sign of impatience at all—you can eat as much as you want, but the old man doesn't believe that you can eat for a day.

The fact is the same, Zishou is full after eating a few pieces of meat pies and two bowls of porridge leisurely.

Seeing Shang Rong sitting there with an old god on his face, Zi Shou couldn't help but secretly cursed at the old fox.

Originally, he just wanted to use this method to wear down Shang Rong's patience and let Shang Rong take the initiative to speak first, but now it seems that if he does not speak, Shang Rong will not take the initiative to speak.

After finishing the last mouthful of porridge in the bowl, Zi Shou finally opened the topic on his own initiative.

"The queen's cooking skills are really good. I don't know if the old prime minister ate it before he came, but do you want to eat some with Gu?"——He can speak first, so let's talk about something unnutritious first.

Shang Rong heard what Zishou said, smiled lightly, cupped his hands and said: "The old minister has already eaten at home, and the queen is a virtuous and virtuous order, and the old minister has always heard of it, but the king is blessed."

He waved his hand to signal the envoys around him to clean up the cases, Zi Shou rinsed his mouth, and in the end he was too lazy to go around the old fox in front of him, and said directly: "The old prime minister came to the palace today to see Gu, but for Gu's will yesterday have opinions?"

"Old minister dare not!"

Shang Rong cupped his hands, and said in a submissive tone: "Since the king has issued an order, the old minister, as a subject, naturally can only obey. However, the little girl ran away from home yesterday for unknown reasons, and she is still missing. If you want to send her into the palace, there is no one to send her, and I hope your majesty will learn from her."

"Run away from home?"

Smiling softly, Zi Shou looked at Shang Rong in front of him, and said in a playful tone, "But, Gu, why did I hear Fei Zhong and You Hun say that the old prime minister said yesterday that even if he strangled his daughter at home, he would not send her away?" What about her entering the palace? And Gu just issued an edict yesterday, and then the old prime minister told Gu that the person he wanted ran away from home, does the old prime minister think that Gu would believe such a coincidence?"

However, even if Zishou said so, Shang Rong still didn't change his face.

He said lightly: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the old minister did say that yesterday, but it was just a momentary remark. Afterwards, the old minister figured it out. If the little girl can enter the palace to serve the King, it will be her blessing. How can the old minister not let you go?" The reason? It’s just that the little girl has run away from home for some reason, and her life and death are still unknown. If the king doesn’t believe it, he can send someone to investigate.”

"The old prime minister was joking, how could Gu not believe in the old prime minister?" He responded lightly, Zishou changed the subject, and then said: "However, the old prime minister said that if Qing Jun returns home, the old prime minister is willing to let Qing Jun go home." Has she entered the palace?"

"Naturally." Shang Rong replied lightly.

The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other, but neither of them could see anything from each other's eyes.

With a slight smile, Zishou stood up directly.

"Since this is the case, the old prime minister should go back first, I will send someone to look for Qingjun, and I hope the old prime minister will not regret it when the time comes."

After taking a deep look at Zishou, Shang Rong stood up: "In that case, the old minister will leave first."
