Power to the government and the public: Qian engaged in business in ancient times

Chapter 146 One minister does not serve two masters

There are ten dishes on the table, with meat and vegetables evenly matched.

Wen Qian was very satisfied, picked up the jade chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork and started eating.

Bite down, Wen Qianliu frowned slightly: "Eunuch Chang, what is this?"

Chang Sheng responded with a smile: "Empress Dowager, this is the wild pork from the peak of the day after tomorrow. The men's army just caught it not long ago!"

Wen Qian nodded, it wasn't that she couldn't eat any meat, but mainly because there was a trace of aura in the meat, which made her both satisfied and surprised.

She has not eaten such meat for a long time...

I still remember the meat of all kinds of monsters that Xiang Yu hunted for her, whether it was grilled, fried, or steamed, the meat was tender and refreshing, and the aura inside was stronger than this More than ten times.

The cultivation bases of those monsters have almost reached the peak of the Xiantian mirror, how can the beasts at the peak of the Houtian mirror be comparable!

Wen Qian's eyes were slightly sad, and he continued to hold other pieces of meat.

Another round of new introductions by Chang Sheng: "The roe meat of the Houtian realm, the rabbit meat of the Houtian middle stage, and the venison meat of the Houtian early stage.

While eating, Wen Qian didn't stop the movement of her hands, and continued to eat the cooked food.

Although the pickling speed is very fast, in the eyes of Chang Sheng and others, it is so elegant and elegant, except for the familiar heroic pretty face, everything is so strange.

When Chang Sheng finished introducing the five meat and five vegetarian dishes, Wen Qian was [-]% full after eating.

After she scooped up a bowl of mushroom soup to relieve the greasy taste in her mouth, she put down the jade chopsticks in her hand.

Seeing this, Chang Sheng immediately handed over a brocade handkerchief.

After being slightly stunned, Wen Qian took the brocade handkerchief he handed over and wiped the corners of her mouth: "These are the rewards for you, remember to ask the kitchen to leave a copy for the godfather."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager!"

Chang Sheng didn't expect to be able to eat the best food. These are the best small parts of each animal's meat. After thanking him with a smile on his face, he hurriedly explained: "Your Highness, the meal for the son, Mr. Mo I have ordered the kitchen to reserve it."

Miss Mo?
What the hell is it called!

"That's it, I see." Wen Qian nodded, generally pleased with Mo Xuan's knowledge, and asked, "Where is Mo Xuan?"

Chang Sheng was overjoyed when he heard this, could it be that the Empress Dowager has grown up, "Young Master Mo is practicing martial arts in the open space outside the mansion, and he probably hasn't had lunch at this hour, will His Highness bring him something to eat? "

"Uh...!" Wen Qian choked, and choked out a sentence: "Yes, you can deliver it yourself later!"

Chang Sheng said cheerfully: "The servant obeys."

Little Master Mo, finally, all hardships have come to an end!

"..."

Wen Qian heard a hint of excitement in Chang Sheng's sharp male voice, and didn't understand what he was happy about, so she glanced at him in surprise, turned and left the mansion.

"Your Highness, haven't you taken away the bigu pill and the small flag?" Chang Sheng saw Wen Qian leaving just like that, and shouted at her back.

Wen Qian didn't turn her head back: "You will keep it!"

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your trust." Chang Sheng smiled knowingly, sincerely admiring Wen Qian's sophistication.

The empress dowager asked Wenzhu to slap and punish Li Mochou, the young master of the Li family, but she wanted to kill herself.

Instead of ordering Mo Xuan, who has been protecting her, to kill someone.

Then he assigned Wenzhu to escort Li Mochou's body back to the imperial capital.

Chang Sheng, who has learned to observe words and expressions since he was a child, instantly tastes the thoughts of the empress dowager.

She didn't trust Asparagus and was tempting, otherwise it would be enough to send a hundred commanders to escort a corpse back to the imperial capital, so there is no need for an army general.

Besides, the Prince Regent has always disliked the Empress Dowager and regarded her as a blemish on the royal family. Wen Zhu's departure is not a good thing.

The Empress Dowager trusts herself and joins the team, and because of her trust, she lets herself kill Li Mochou herself, fearing that Asparagus will cheat.

After all, Li Mochou was a cultivator at the peak of the innate realm, and she had a technique of feigning death. Even if she pierced the cultivator's heart, as long as she didn't chew the whole heart vigorously, the person who was killed would most likely be revived by the alchemist.

But apart from Li Mochou's status as a baron, she is also the young head of the Li family, and she is also the most beloved daughter of the head of the Li family, and the next head of the family.

Killing her by himself is equivalent to handing in a nomination certificate, and he can only be loyal to the crown princess. Without the protection of the crown princess, he will have to be retaliated by the Li family.

Besides, the empress dowager's attitude towards Mo Xuan is very special, apart from respect, there is also a little preference.

While thinking about it, Chang Sheng put away the Bigu Dan and Xiaofanqi on the table, and then ordered the two little eunuchs to follow Wen Qian from a distance, and pay attention to her safety at all times.

Wen Qian lifted her foot and stepped out of the mansion. As soon as she approached the bamboo forest, she noticed two young eunuchs who were not far or near behind her. She knew that Chang Sheng was worried about her safety.

Shaking his head, he continued to move forward.

Passing through the bamboo forest, you can see an open space the size of a basketball court. The ground is a martial arts training ground paved with top-grade white marble.

In the center of the arena is Mo Xuan.

A 19-year-old boy, his sword skills are very good, his figure is tall and straight, and his face is handsome. Although he is a bit timid and soft, he has the natural masculinity of a modern man.

She had seen what kind of demeanor a peerless handsome man with both toughness and softness was.

Beautiful in beauty, handsome in beauty, soft in strength, perfect.

"Your name is Mo Xuan?" Wen Qian walked over and looked at Mo Xuan who had withdrawn his moves.

"My servant, Mo Xuan!" Mo Xuan bowed his knees and saluted.

"Your servant? Aren't you one of my side husbands?" Wen Qian looked at the serious Mo Xuan, and instantly felt the dignified and steady style of a young lady cultivated by a wealthy family.

This... is it true that men and women have switched identities?

I don't know how a man gave birth to a child?
Hearing Wen Qian's blunt words, Mo Xuan instantly became uneasy, blushed, and stammered, "Yes...it's a minister, and also His Highness's side-husband, and Wen Zhu is also His Highness's side-husband. "

"..." This person is really a novice in feelings, he has no scheming at all, he is really a fool.

But... this full of innocence and cuteness is very attractive!

Wen Qian raised her eyebrows, put away her redundant emotions, and asked lightly: "Mo Xuan, tell me about the specific circumstances of my mother's departure from Zhou State nine years ago?"

Mo Xuan was stunned for a moment, and said: "Returning to the Empress Dowager, the Empress suddenly brought His Royal Highness out of the palace nine years ago, and came to Longhuang Mountain. She also said that she learned about a certain immortal sect from a cultivator." In a secret realm, there is a high possibility of a ninth-grade soul-inducing grass growing out of it.

This medicine can wake up a person's soul and bring his sanity back to its original state.

So the empress entrusted you to me and Wen Zhu to protect your safety, and Eunuch Chang Sheng took care of your daily life.

At that time, the Empress Dowager was only eight years old, and the Empress was worried that we would be in danger staying in the Imperial City, so she came to Longhuang Mountain, which is full of aura.

In order to allow other people to trespass into Longhuang Mountain without permission, the empress also specially decreed to list this place as a forbidden area of ​​the Zhou Kingdom, and divided the five thousand men's army into three.

I am in charge of 2000 people, and asparagus is in charge of 2000 people.

There are still 1000 people in the hands of Eunuch Chang, but these 1000 people are secret guards. Except for Eunuch Chang, Wenzhu and I don't know where they are hiding.

When the empress left, she told us that she would go for a year at the earliest, or seven years at the slowest, and she would definitely return to court.

Unexpectedly, the Empress is gone and will never return, so we lived here for nine years! "

After Mo Xuan finished speaking in one breath, traces of melancholy and nostalgia appeared on his face as white as jade.

"Nine years?"

Wen Qian's expression was slightly cold, and she said gloomyly: "Then when did the news of my mother's disappearance come out? When was Wen Xinyu promoted to the position of regent by the courtiers?"

"This...!" Mo Xuan was asked by Wen Qian, and instantly understood that she had begun to suspect that someone had plotted against the Empress.

After thinking for a while, he said solemnly: "Two years later, I went to the foot of the mountain to buy oil, salt, rice noodles, and heard the news that the empress died and disappeared from the market.

And Lord Jade was pushed to the throne of regent by the courtiers a year after the empress left. At that time, my mother sent a pigeon to send me a message, asking me to go back to the imperial capital alone, but I refused. "

Hearing this, Wen Qian's face was full of coldness, but he looked at Mo Xuan with a more inquiring look: "Why didn't you go back to the imperial capital?"

Mo Xuan said seriously: "One minister does not serve two masters!"
