Emperor concubine and phoenix

Chapter 369 Master-Slave Contract
"Night Seven."

what?
Nan Si was stunned: "Why didn't I know that the Dark Pavilion had such a name?"

Rong Chuxiu looked sleepy: "There are so many things you don't know, do I need to tell you the truth?"

"Rong Chuxiu." Nan Si smiled lazily and harmlessly, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, the emperor is currently reviewing the memorial in the study of the truth, and may come over at any time, even if the truth does not complain , but if he hears it, do you think your life will be easier?"

No.

Rong Chuxiu sighed deeply.

His patriarch favored Nansi to the point of madness, don't let him talk about this prime minister, even if his own younger brother Li Wang, he still had to be arrested and knelt in the Qinzheng Hall all night?
He didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble to himself.

"It's my fault." He put down the teacup, raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, a man who knows the current affairs is Junjie, "The secret guards who left the cabinet two years ago were all from the Ye family, and she was ranked seventh, so she is called Night seven."

Nan Si nodded, "Change your name."

"Change name?" Rong Chuxiu raised his eyes and looked at her puzzled, "Why?"

This name should not offend anyone, right?

"No reason." Nan Si said, "You just do it."

Rong Chuxiu was silent.

If the person in front of him is not Nan Si, or the woman whom the emperor puts on top of his heart, he must let her know how many eyes Prince Ma has.

It is said that the left is respected, followed by the right.

As the left minister, his power is clearly greater than that of the right minister, and he is also in charge of more affairs than the right minister. Why should he lie low in front of the right minister?
Frowning slightly, Rong Chuxiu was silent for a long time, thinking that the name Ye Qi was not an official name at all, it was chosen entirely according to the level and ranking of the hidden guards.

A very random name, if you change it, you will change it.

"Change to what?"

Nan Si thought for a while: "...Fei?"

Rong Chuxiu frowned: "What?"

Nan Si didn't speak. She seemed to have forgotten to ask the eldest princess what was her daughter's last name, and who was the eldest princess's husband?
In the morning, when she went to the eldest princess's mansion, except for the man playing the piano, she didn't see any other man with the identity of Mian Shou. There were guards and butlers in the mansion, but she didn't see the extravagant and romantic as rumored.

Nan Si pondered for a moment, put aside these thoughts temporarily, and said lightly: "Rong Chuxiu, do you know the identity of this woman?"

Rong Chuxiu shook his head slowly.

"Didn't you check?" Nan Si frowned, "Most of the people trained in the dark pavilion are men, and very few girls are sent there since childhood. You are not at all curious about her identity and origin?"

curious?

Rong Chuxiu sneered, why aren't you curious?
If he wasn't afraid of her identity being hidden, why would he have been investigating her secretly for two years?
But even if he secretly investigates, he can't mobilize the crowd too much. Even if he is the humerus minister who is highly respected and trusted in front of the emperor, he can't do many things as he wants.

"Send this girl to me." Nan Si said lightly, "I'll check."

Rong Chuxiu was taken aback for a moment, then refused without thinking: "No."

Nan Si's brows and eyes moved slightly, and finally she looked at Rong Chuxiu with more inquiring eyes: "No?"

Rong Chuxiu took a look at her, then closed his eyes, slightly tightened the corners of his lips, and silently held the teacup.

"Why not?" Cang Hanyu walked through the corridor with a steady and calm pace, the strong light outside the corridor hit his bright yellow robe, reflecting a noble color.

Rong Chuxiu raised his head, stood up and left his seat, bowed respectfully and bowed: "I refer to the Lord."

Cang Hanyu stepped into the flower hall, glanced over Rong Chuxiu's head, sat down on the bench beside Nan Si, and asked in a calm voice, "What's so special about that hidden guard to you?"

Rong Chuxiu lowered his eyes and remained silent as if he had something hard to say.

Seeing this, Nan Si couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

Mr. Zuo Xiang, who has always been calm and unhurried, can maintain a personable appearance no matter what, advances and retreats with restraint, and is as gentle as jade. It is rare to see him feel sad for anything.

It was the first time I saw this rare reaction at this time.

Cang Hanyu also felt strange, and frowned slightly: "Can't you say?"

can not say?
This is really a joke.

The emperor asked questions, and there was "can't say"?
Rong Chuxiu's expression was condensed, and he was silent for a moment, then slowly clenched his palms: "I... committed the crime of deceiving the emperor."

As soon as these words came out, both Cang Han Yu and Nan Si were a little surprised.

The crime of bullying the king?

Leaning against the pillar, Cang Hanyu's expression was calm: "Say."

"Ye Qi... is the secret guard that I brought out of the secret pavilion, and I and her..." Rong Chuxiu lowered his head, unable to see the expression on his face, "A master-slave contract has been made."

After the words fell, the hall suddenly fell into silence.

Cang Hanyu looked at him silently, didn't speak for a long time, and couldn't see what was in his mind.

Nan Si, on the other hand, had a slightly subtle expression at this time.

Master-slave contract.

This was the first time she heard such a statement, but she knew very well what these four words meant.

The secret cabinet organization belongs to the imperial court and is only loyal to the emperor.

Because the two ministers on the left and right are the most trusted people in front of the emperor, the emperor also selected master dark guards from the dark pavilion to distribute to the two governments in order to give them more manpower at his disposal so that they could act in the court. 16 people each.

The hidden guards assigned to the prime minister's mansion only obeyed the orders of the masters in their respective mansions. His Majesty the Emperor would not send out the hidden guards who had already been assigned, but there was one point, the real master of these dark guards was only the emperor.

The emperor gave you the sword, and you have the right to use it temporarily, but the emperor also has the right to withdraw the sword at any time.

If there is an emergency, or when something unavoidable happens, these hidden guards will only take His Majesty's will as the first priority - this is due to the rules of the dark cabinet that have been engraved in the bones for a long time.

If the secret guard makes a mistake, the left and right ministers have the right to deal with it, but they need to report it truthfully.

But the only thing is that you can't take the hidden guard as your own without authorization.

Even the high-ranking Left Prime Minister did not have the right to let the hidden guard recognize the master without authorization. To put it more seriously, this is blatantly deceiving the emperor, and it is not an exaggeration to accuse him of attempting to treason.

But Nan Si didn't say anything, she just turned her head and looked outside the flower hall. The sky in the distance was blue and boundless, the sky was vast, and the bright sunlight refracted down, reflecting a piece of golden light dancing on the lake.

"Master-slave contract?" Cang Hanyu's voice was indifferent, "Explain."

Rong Chuxiu didn't know how to explain it.

He knew better than anyone else that such behavior was wrong, and he was just taking a chance, thinking that no one would know about this matter, let alone the emperor.

After all, it's just a hidden guard.

Although the secret pavilion is the secret pavilion of the emperor, the lord trusts him and is not a suspicious person, so he should not doubt what he did in private.

But did not expect ...
