Chapter 698 Bai Kou's Purpose

Gu Yun's mouth curled into a faint smile.

"So when the saint found out that Bai Kou was the official killer, he wasn't too angry. He just made fun of my father."

"Using any legitimate reason to deal with useless officials, as the king of a country, he is happy to see it. There are so many officials waiting to fill the vacancies, so it doesn't matter if you replace a few. Although he has loved Concubine Zhao Xian for decades, the prince is The empress is a direct descendant, she is diligent in government and loves the people, she is well-known in the government and the public, and the crown prince guards against the king of Yu in every possible way in political affairs, and the sage did not say a word, so it can be seen that he has no intention of changing the crown prince."

"I'm afraid that's where the problem lies. Concubine Zhao Xian has been favored for many years, she has sons and daughters, plus the indignation that the prince's concubine became the prince's side concubine back then. It is normal for her to be ambitious. If the queen has been childless, it may really make Concubine Zhao Xian It succeeded, but fortunately the queen saved the third son after losing two sons, and there was no reason for her to make a fuss about her mistakes. In some places, the former servant Shao Yiping happened to be the eunuch in charge of the Sifang Supervisor, and the Yuchu Bai family was also a loyal minister of the emperor. In my opinion, Concubine Zhao Xian and the others must have been complacent about this clever plan that kills two birds with one stone."

"But this pride disappeared after finding the recipes of the Bai family. After losing the key Shao Yiping, the imperial kitchen returned to the hands of the sage. I heard that most of the imperial chefs were replaced because of this matter. Now The cooks are all transferred from various government offices to replace them, and the queen recommended a temporary head chef."

"It's great. After being led by them for so many years, it's finally our turn to fight back."

"Have you found out that with the examples of Empress Ye and Concubine Zhao Xian, the reason why the sage favors Bai Kou is perfectly explained?" After all, Gong Changji was two years older than Gu Yun, and he was also a child of the clan. Yun more.

"Ok?"

"I think, since Bai Kou followed Bai Kou to participate in the winter hunting for the first time, the saint knew who she was, and must have started to pay attention to her. It happened that during the Chinese New Year, she saved the emperor's grandson Gong Zhenghui by chance. It doesn’t matter if you no longer hide your guilt towards her or make up for it, in short, as long as there are conditions, you will definitely give her favor, and then she helped the pregnant princess through the crisis. Jingyun and Zhenghui also liked her on the stage, Bai Kou alone has won the favor of three generations of the Tian family."

"Yes, she has received the supreme favor because of her intelligence and ability. As long as she does not make mistakes, this favor will last forever. The saint even worried that Bai Kou would be wronged after I married the young lady, and wanted to ask her to go back. .”

"Since she has the support of the Tian family and does not look at the face of the monk but the face of the Buddha, why should she worry about not being able to get along with your future young wife and try her best to manage her retreat? Her current intentions are almost clearly on the table. After you get married, she is neither willing to serve the young lady nor go back to the palace, she only has eyes on the big workshop of Xilefang, isn't there a deeper reason?"

"Maybe it's because I have a good relationship with her? She works hard for money? She also said that she is a servant girl, what else can she love if she doesn't love money?" Gu Yun pretended to smile relaxedly, and even Lifted the chopsticks and took a bite of the dish.

The palace chief Ji sat still, looked at Gu Yun, "You really think so?"

Gu Yun suppressed the faint smile on his face, put down his chopsticks, swallowed the tasteless dishes in his mouth, thought of a possibility that he didn't even want to think about deeply, a bitter taste rose in his throat.

"...the saint may grant her a pardon."

The palace chief nodded slowly to show his approval.

"If the sage is well aware of the injustice of the Bai family, but he has no intention of overturning the case because of the face of the Tian family, after all, it involves a dispute between the country and the country, and it is inevitable for the sage to hesitate, but Bai Kou is so dazzling For a capable child, no matter if she feels guilty or compensated, it is very possible to promise her a condition, and if she is satisfied, she will be free."

"Bai Kou participated in the winter hunting three times. The first time she appeared in front of the sage, that time was not counted. In the last two times, she went to serve tea in the tent every day. The two talked in secret. Who knows which time a secret agreement was reached. .”

"The second time, it must be the second time. It was the time when Bai Kou promised that if the factory was built and the business was monopolized, he would be able to pay tens of thousands of taels of tax. The saint is so shrewd. He seized the word and reached a secret agreement. As long as Bai Kou fulfills her promise, she will be set free." Gong Zhangji guessed firmly, "After the factory starts construction, think about it, since then, has Bai Kou cared more about the factory than you? "

"……Yes."

"This is her real retreat, once and for all, no one will be hurt by her calculations, she will watch you marry the young lady step by step, and then she will have thousands of legitimate reasons for you to let go She goes to the factory, and after that it will be her world, maybe one year she will be free, freed from restraint, and she has made enough money in your hands, in the future, she will be as high as the sky and let the birds fly, and the sea will be as wide as the fish jumped."

Gong Changji shook his head and finished speaking, deeply admiring Bai Kou's persevering thoughts, but he regained his composure, seeing Gu Yun's pale face at this moment, he suddenly became a little flustered.

"Are you okay?! His face is so ugly!"

"It's okay." Gu Yun tried his best not to jump, and reached for the wine glass, but his hand trembled so much that he spilled half of the glass.

Gong Changji hastily snatched the wine glass from Gu Yun's hand, and when he touched his hand, he realized that his whole body was shaking violently.

"Are you really okay? There is a government doctor sent by the Imperial Hospital in my mansion, do you want to call to see it?"

"No! I'm fine! I'll just have a drink, just one." Gu Yun reluctantly raised his head and smiled at Gong Changji.

Gong Zhangji was speechless, and patted Gu Yun's shoulder, "Okay, I'll pour you some wine, just please stop laughing, it's uglier than crying."

Gu Yun took the wine from the palace chief Ji and drank it down in one gulp, the hand holding the empty glass still trembled slightly, so he reached out to the palace chief Ji again, so Prince Cheng had no choice but to lift the jug and sieve another glass for him.

One cup after another, Gu Yun didn't eat any food, and drank the whole jug of wine, a faint pink blush appeared on his face, which looked better than his snow-white face just now.

"Calm down?" Gong Changji took the wine glass from Gu Yun's hand, put it on the opposite side of the table together with the empty jug, and picked up a few chopsticks for Gu Yun, "Eat something, drinking so fast will hurt your liver." .”

Gu Yun didn't say a word, he leaned on the table and buried his head in eating. Gong Zhangji picked up some food for him, and secretly put two pieces of pure fat fat meat in his bowl, and watched Gu Yun put it into his mouth in a daze. swallow.

This may seem normal, but it is actually over-excited.
