After being dressed as the original match of cannon fodder, she was spoiled by a powerful minister

Chapter 439 What Are You... Doing?

Zhao Tuo sighed, "Third brother, I want to be filial to my father, what's wrong?"

Hearing this, Zhao Shi glanced at him critically, "Is it really just filial piety?"

"Then what else does the third brother think I have any purpose? If the third brother doesn't perform his filial piety in front of the father, is he not allowed to do my filial piety to the father?" Zhao Tuo said unhurriedly.

Zhao Shi choked.

It stands to reason that if this guy has any ambitions for the throne, he should not push the position of the crown prince out of his hand.

It seems that this kid is really just trying to show his filial piety.

Thinking about it, he patted Zhao Tuo on the shoulder, "It's better to be like this."

Zhao Tuo had no choice but to say, "Third Brother, you don't need to guard against me like this. I've never been Third Brother's opponent, have I?"

Zhao Shi rubbed his chin, "That's right." Right now, Zhao Tuo is no longer a problem. His biggest competitors are King Yin and King Ning.

It is said that after the King of Yin arrived in Yinzhou, he was very diligent and governed Yinzhou very well, and his political achievements were quite outstanding.

Although King Ning was sent to the southern border to quell the chaos, this time he is considered guilty, but if he quells the chaos in the southern border, he will definitely return to the court.

There is another powerful opponent in the battle for the throne.

Moreover, the relationship between Yin Wang and Ning Wang has always been very good, if the two are twisted together, then he will appear too lonely.

He was smacking in his heart, and suddenly set his sights on Zhao Tuo.

If the fourth brother is willing to support him, then he will have an extra force, and in the future, he will have a strong arm against King Yin and King Ning.

Moreover, the fourth brother is about to marry the Fu family, and he will be Fu Jingchen's brother-in-law in the future. If the fourth brother is willing to stand by his side, then won't he be indirectly supported by Fu Jingchen?

"Fourth brother, how does third brother treat you?" He hooked Zhao Tuo's shoulder and smiled very kindly.

In fact, he was much shorter than Zhao Tuo, so the way he stood on tiptoes and hooked his shoulders looked a bit ridiculous.

Zhao Tuo said calmly: "The third brother is naturally good to me."

"Since it's good, shouldn't you stand with the third brother?" Zhao Shi immediately said.

Zhao Tuo became embarrassed, "Yin King and Ning King are also my elder brothers, and they treat me well..."

When Zhao Shi heard this, he secretly regretted it.

Why didn't he know how to win over this kid before?

"Where did they treat you like me?" he said brazenly.

Zhao Tuo rolled his eyes wildly in his heart, but said in his mouth: "You are all my elder brothers. If I help you, I will offend them. If I help them, I will offend you. My brother is really in a difficult situation. Third brother, please forgive me." , Besides, I don't know anything, and I can't help third brother with anything."

Zhao Shi was a little annoyed, thinking that he really refused to eat the toast and was fined.

He begged him so angrily, how dare he refuse.

"Fourth brother should think about the future. Father is always going to be old. At that time, only third brother can protect you. Don't rush to reply me, you should think carefully." Zhao Shi finished speaking and let go of him , went straight away.

Zhao Tuo paused, the third brother used all means to achieve his goals, the fourth brother could ignore the life and death of the people for the sake of money, and the eldest brother had no virtue or talent.

Of the three of them, no matter who ascends to the throne of God, they are not a blessing to the common people.

Zhenzhen is right, how much ability you have, how much you should do.

Since he is already in this position and has more opportunities to do things for the people than most people, why not hold the power in his own hands?
Otherwise, I will be a knife and I will be a fish, and I will regret it later.

After figuring it out, Zhao Tuo walked out of the palace briskly.

……

Yulin Town.

In the summer afternoon, the cicadas chirped more wildly, making people upset.

Xiang'er took a bamboo pole, went under the tree in the yard, and glued the cicadas on the tree.

She is very good at catching cicadas, and she almost catches one accurately.

She didn't stop until the cicadas were not singing so loudly.

Seeing her coming back profusely, a servant girl said in surprise, "How can you stick to cicadas in such a big sun?"

"If you don't glue those noisy things, I'm worried that the girl won't sleep well."

When the maid heard this, she stopped talking.

Since Ms. Gu moved into the general's mansion, the servants in the mansion kept their voices down, for fear of disturbing the lady.

"My lord is so kind to Miss Gu." The maid couldn't help but say something more.

"That is." Xiang'er nodded in agreement.

Located at the border, there is a shortage of supplies, but since Ms. Gu came, the adults asked the kitchen to cook food for Ms. Gu in different ways every day, and was afraid that Ms. Gu would be hot, and spent a lot of manpower and material resources to transport it from other places. Ice came.

The adults were reluctant to use it themselves, so they gave it all to the lady's room.

With ice cubes in the room, Ms. Gu did indeed sleep more peacefully.

The two were talking, when they saw Tao'er approaching from a distance, they quickly stopped talking and dispersed.

Tao'er saw it and was very angry.

Before Gu Mingzhu came, the servants of the general's mansion were respectful to her, and they were more likely to flatter her.

But after Gu Mingzhu came, those servants saw her as a superfluous person.

How could she stand it?
Gu Mingzhu shouldn't have come.

If she didn't come, she would be able to figure it out gradually, and she would always become the son of the world.

But now that she is here, Shi Zi can no longer look at other people.

Thinking about it, she bit her lip, went to the kitchen herself, and brought a bowl of iced mung bean soup.

When others were not paying attention, a pack of medicine was sprinkled into the soup, and then stirred with a spoon.

After finishing this, she took the soup and went to the study.

At noon, after the son came back, he went into the study, and he hasn't come out yet.

When she reached the door of the study, she knocked on the door, "Your Majesty, it's very hot today. The lady is worried about your son's heatstroke, so she ordered my servant to bring you a bowl of mung bean soup."

Sure enough, upon hearing that Gu Mingzhu had ordered it, Gu Xiao, who was dealing with military affairs, immediately said, "Bring it in."

Tao'er obeyed and brought in the mung bean soup and put it in his hand.

"Young Master, let's drink first, so that this servant can take out the empty bowl." She said softly.

Gu Xiao picked up the bowl and drank the mung bean soup.

Seeing this, Tao'er tightened her handkerchief.

……

Gu Mingzhu woke up after a good night's sleep, feeling refreshed.

Her foot injury has healed, and she is alive and kicking again.

Thinking of the place Gu Xiao was going to take her on the day she was injured, she got up and hurried to the study.

"Gu Xiao, where is the place you said you would take me to? Are you free today? I want to go..."

As she spoke, she pushed open the door of the study.

Before she finished speaking, her eyes widened suddenly, staring blankly at the scene in front of her, "What... are you guys doing?"

In the study room at this moment, Gu Xiaojun's face was blushing abnormally, one of his hands was firmly pinching Tao'er's thin neck, his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Tao'er, on the other hand, was disheveled, her face was dark purple because her neck was pinched, and when she saw Gu Mingzhu, a glimmer of hope suddenly rose in her eyes, "Little... sister... save... me..."

Gu Mingzhu was very surprised. Hearing her cries for help at this moment, he came back to his senses in an instant, and finally found that Gu Xiao's mind seemed to be a little off.

She also ignored the embarrassing scene in front of her, and hurried across the messy ground and rushed over.

"Gu Xiao, what are you doing? If you have something to say, let her go first."
