I really don't want to take shortcuts anymore

Chapter 384 The narrow road is really narrow

When the case of Dinghou comes to light, the young emperor should make some compensation to the young master.

The late emperor liked luxury, wealth and merit, so he implemented a salt and iron monopoly and set up a system of breaking silver.

Although there are few people today, they are better than the late emperor in this respect. Therefore, when the young master decided to donate money, Jiaozuo supported it with both hands, because as long as he had this merit, the young master would almost be safe in his life.

Since he wants to plot people's hearts, Yu Jin is naturally not the only one. The late prince's family was unjustly slaughtered, and blood flowed in Xijing. Even the bystanders who were not implicated, both inside and outside the Yu Dynasty court, often sympathized with the late prince.

When the young master came back and handed over the jade certificate again, leaving the edict to make him a marquis, most people did not dare to come to congratulate him or get too close to him due to the young emperor's joy and anger. But what they were thinking in their hearts could be guessed by others. well.

But the young master was injured like that last night, and Jiaozuo saw some clues from it.

First of all, Cui Xiaoben, who was in charge of Jinwu, immediately protected the young master. When he faced the king and made his speech, a rare look of intolerance appeared in his eyes.

Jin Xin is the second one. He was known for being loyal and prudent, but after seeing the prince's injury, he would rather bear the responsibility of condoning it than issue an order to fire arrows - if it weren't for the fact that he had compassion and couldn't bear to have the prince's bloodline cut off, Who believes it?

They all do this, and Huo Xuan's performance is even more obvious. When the Dinghou case first broke out, he and Luan He insisted not to believe that the young master was responsible. Yesterday, when he first heard that the young master was seriously injured, the sudden concern in his eyes was definitely not fake.

On the contrary, the young master's old enemy Shangguan Jin unknowingly became a villain who deceived Sheng Cong and wasted his life. This was deeply marked in Yu Jin's heart, and it was thought that Zhang Shichang would be affected as well. Including the censor Zhongcheng who jumped out later, it is impossible to get a good harvest.

In such a short period of time, he planned an almost perfect action plan and calculated everyone's reactions and thoughts into his bones. What kind of talent is this?

Mrs. Luo's martial arts and miraculous medical skills were comparable to those of the Sword Sect, and she also developed a strong execution ability. She broke through the almost inevitable endgame and found a new way to survive.

Only such people are worthy of standing side by side with the Young Master.

"Madam, you are too modest. Although you are approachable, my subordinates must not dare to be overbearing and rude." Jiao Zuo bowed even lower and said in a humble voice: "Last night, Madam must have been hungry. I will make arrangements for you now." How about you take a shower, change clothes, and eat before I send you to see the young master?"

Luo Qianhuai would naturally have no objection. It would be perfect to meet Mr. Mo in the palace, and he happens to be in a high and powerful position.

"It's hard to wrong Madam Luo just to cover up others' eyes in the palace."

What Jiao Zuo said was wrong was that he put yellow powder on her face to disfigure her and put her in the clothes of a young eunuch.

As for the young eunuch who had been locked in the closet all night, he has also been released. He was originally from Jiaozuo, and had helped him do a lot of private things. He had long guessed that the grandpa he had just recognized had another identity. Now that he really heard it, he was so frightened that his face turned pale. Honestly On the ground, he begged for his life.

Luo Qianhuai never thought of silencing him. Jiaozuo was very good at observing faces, so he quickly went up and kicked the young eunuch: "Baby monkey, you are lucky. Just keep it in your stomach today, otherwise it will be just talking in your sleep."

"My grandson wiped his neck by himself!" the young eunuch said anxiously. Someone came to the front hall to send a message, saying that His Majesty was awake and asked Jiao Lingjian to come and wait on him. The task of taking Luo Qianhuai to Yutang House fell on the young eunuch.

"The younger one's original name was Ergouzi. After he followed grandpa, he took his surname and got a nickname called Jiaomu." The young eunuch said as he walked: "If the eldest lady doesn't dislike it, call me the younger one." That’s it Amu.”

Luo Qianhuai nodded and reminded him: "There are many talkative people in the palace, so don't call me eldest lady again. Well, my surname is Hei and Tu, so just call me A Tu."

She was very satisfied with the name Jiao Mu and Kuitu.

Of course Jiao Mu knew that this was a false name, but he would never expose it. Instead, he climbed up and said, "Yes, I understand. Master A Tu, Yutang House is one of the eight houses in the harem, right next to Zhaoyang House. . You know Zhaoyang House, the late Emperor's former favorite Simei, who is now Princess Si, once lived there. However, after the late Emperor ascended the throne, she moved to Changle Palace."

Luo Qianhuai nodded and asked casually: "Changle Palace was built during the reign of Emperor Gaozu, right? It's been a few years now. I wonder if the internal buildings are still usable?"

"That's natural." Jiao Mu expressed anxiously: "When Changle Palace was first built, the purlins and pillars were all made of golden nanmu, which would not decay even after thousands of years. Concubine Si is a Otherwise, according to His Majesty’s temperament, he might let her go down to serve the late Emperor along with his other concubines!”

When he said this, he couldn't help but turn pale again when he thought of the tragedy of the scene. Luo Qianhuai didn't like hearing this either. Just when he was about to say something else, a group of people suddenly came across from him.

The leader is a eunuch wearing a gray-blue robe. The level of sophistication in his robe is much less than that of Jiao Lingjian, but compared with other eunuchs, it is much better.

Jiao Mu quickly pulled Luo Qianhuai aside and stood with his hands crossed. Luo Qianhuai didn't even need him to remind him. He lowered his head immediately, lowering his neck as low as he could, wishing he could tuck his whole face into his chest.

Young Inspector Zheng strutted forward and saw the burnt wood at a glance. He couldn't help but sneered and walked over.

"Hey, who do I think you are? Isn't this the new grandson of Jiao Lingjian?" He said with a smile: "I begged grandpa to sue grandma to let me give you a chance. How come you changed the master once?" Pretend you don’t know me?”

Jiao Mu didn't expect that Young Supervisor Zheng would expose all his previous dark ideas in front of Luo Qianhuai, and he was so frightened that his face turned pale at that moment.

"Young Supervisor Zheng. I'm here to do something on the orders of Supervisor Jiao Ling. Supervisor Jiao Ling is following His Majesty's instructions - if you have nothing to do, I will leave first." He said in a trembling voice.

"Haha, you idiot, are you trying to scare me with Your Majesty? Who doesn't know that assassins entered the palace last night, and the troops were in a panic. Your Majesty must have just gotten up at this moment. Is there anything you can do to send you? manage?"

As he spoke, he looked at Jiao Zuo. His eyes swept across Luo Qianhuai, and he was suddenly stunned for a moment.

"You, raise your head," he said.

Luo Qianhuai didn't dare to raise his head for fear of being recognized by him. She deliberately thickened her voice: "The slave described it as ugly, I'm afraid it will frighten Young Supervisor Zheng."

"Haha." Young Supervisor Zheng laughed angrily.
