Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 267 The Demon (2)

The fourth prince went out of the city for two consecutive nights, and the fifth prince and Guo Tuiguan followed for two nights, but found nothing.

The fifth prince had dark circles under his eyes, and was losing his temper: "They're all idiots! Can't handle it with just such a trick? Don't explain it to me! They're idiots!"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Guan Tong had a wry smile on his face, so he could only nod his head repeatedly to admit his mistake, and waited until the fifth prince got tired of being furious, and then carefully explained: "Fifth Lord, the method of dividing into two and dividing into four is stupid. Isn’t this stupid way to bully us? After a few trips, our manpower will be gone. People know that we have no one. Oh, don’t worry, but a few days later, we will be like this inch by inch Sweep, can you still sweep it out?"

"Are you comforting me? Or are you also confused? Do you think he is a fool? Where can you put him so that you can sweep over him inch by inch?" The fifth prince jumped up again, Guan Tong spread his hands in embarrassment, the fifth prince Sitting down again, a group of people said sullenly: "That's the only way to do it, you should check quietly."

"That's that, that's that." Guan Tong raised his hand and wiped his sweat with a bitter expression on his face: "It would be great if I could find dozens or hundreds of reliable and usable people somewhere. In the past, Wu Ye was willing to pay attention to saving some manpower. Why this?"

"Who will allow me to accumulate manpower? The reason I can live well until now is because I have nothing to worry about and nothing to rely on." After a long while, the fifth prince said slowly and desolately. Knowing that what he said just now hurt the fifth prince, he wanted to comfort him but couldn't, so he rubbed his hands in embarrassment.

Mrs. Sun and her mother, Mrs. Qian, got out of the car in the middle of the confinement. Mrs. Sun's seemingly elaborate makeup could not hide her haggardness. She helped her mother lower her eyebrows and walked towards Concubine Ye Gui's courtyard, feeling faintly timid and helpless. There seems to be nothing flowing between the eyebrows, eyes and actions.

Concubine Ye Gui raised her hand to stop the bowing of the two, looked carefully at Mrs. Sun, frowned slightly and said, "Why do you seem to be thinner? Your complexion doesn't look very good."

"How can it be better? If I hadn't tried my best to persuade me, I would have fallen ill a long time ago!" Before Madam Sun could speak, Madam Qian said angrily. Concubine Ye Gui frowned, Madam Sun turned her head and pressed the corners of her eyes tightly with a handkerchief , Mrs. Qian said with a disregarded look: "I really can't hold it anymore. I grew up with my mother since I was a child. My temper is best known by my mother. I have a straight temper and my mouth is almost half-distracted. I don't have a heart, so I just say it." , Concubine, please forgive me!"

"Just talk." Concubine Ye Gui was a little impatient at what Madam Qian's long hat said, and interrupted her. Madam Qian sighed several times, and just about to speak, Madam Sun's eyes were reddish and she turned her head. She timidly glanced at Concubine Ye, then turned to look at her mother and said, "How can I say this? I told you, Sister Ye is not that kind of person!"

"Okay, okay, I won't talk about her, let's not talk about her head office, right? I'll just talk about things, and I'll tell my majesty about it, and my majesty will understand as soon as she hears it, so why don't I say it?" Madam Qian was angry and pitiful. She patted her daughter's shoulder bitterly and said bitterly. Concubine Ye Gui's expression suddenly became solemn, and subconsciously straightened her upper body and urged, "What's the matter? Tell me."

"Your Majesty, you will understand as soon as you hear it. This matter is simply a lice on the bald man's head. It's obvious!" Mrs. Qian said this to her daughter, Mrs. Sun. After explaining this sentence, she turned to look at Concubine Ye Gui and said: "Our Duke Dingguo's mansion has been sued to the Yamen of the capital. Has your majesty heard about this?" Concubine Ye Gui widened her eyes in surprise and shook her head hurriedly. He was sent to the government office as a fugitive slave, but why the government office did not return it to the Dingguo mansion according to the routine, but tried it in public, and the trial has been going on all the way to the present, Qiutang Dipan, who was interrogated, insisted that all the female family members in the back house of the Dingguo mansion had an affair with him What should be added to the oil, what should be added to the vinegar, and the tears that should be added, the tears were streaming down, one after another, the tears were wiped, but the mouth continued clearly and unambiguously: "I He's a fool, but a fool like me can also see that there is something wrong with this matter, Qiu Tangdi is a lowly actor, if he has no one to back him up, he wouldn't dare to slander and ruin our Dingguo mansion so much if he had the guts to do so. Who is supporting him?"

Concubine Ye Gui straightened her back and her face was full of anger. In this capital city, at this moment, someone dares to bully Duke Ding's mansion like this!

"No matter how stupid I am, I can see the way. I said it was the fifth master. This is very true. Now the fifth master is helping the uncle, and we have nothing to do with our fourth master. But if the fifth master wants to deal with it, there is no need to find Duke Ding Isn’t it a soft persimmon like the mansion? Besides, what’s the use of pinching the soft persimmon of Duke Dingguo’s mansion? It’s not like the empress doesn’t know that in our mansion, the old ones are useless, and the small ones are even more useless. It’s a product that can’t be glued to the wall. My mother told me, even if the fifth master tramples Dingguo’s mansion, what good will he get? Who will do such a useless thing? Even I understand the truth!” Qian Madam's words are clear and logical: "There is a saying my ancestors used to say: If you want to find the hand behind the back, you don't need anything else, just look at who benefits the most afterwards. I remember this most firmly. I counted with my fingers, Madam, think about it, this Qiutangdi single-handedly pollutes the daughters of Dingguo's mansion are innocent, and the women of Dingguo's mansion are not innocent, who can benefit from this?"

"Mother, don't say it!" Madam Sun cried out sadly, Madam Qian raised her handkerchief to hold the corners of her eyes, and choked up several times. Concubine Ye Gui's eyes flashed brightly, her eyes narrowed slightly, and her brows frowned. She hurriedly let go, Madam Qian seemed to be ignorant of the end: "The female family members of Dingguo's mansion are all innocent, so she is still good? Even if Fourth Master doesn't doubt her, this gossip and spittle will drown Her!" Mrs. Qian pointed at her daughter, and the tears shed this time were tears of distress: "Isn't it that the imperial concubine is partial to her, and the fourth master went to her courtyard a few more times to bring such a catastrophe to her? This scheming is too vicious. They all say that they wish their family members will see blood first when they are born, and everyone will kill without blinking an eye. Not only did it kill her, but the rumors spread all over the city, how can our housewives have the face to live on! Your Majesty!" Madam Qian covered her face with her hands, crying and twitching one after another.

Mrs. Sun barely stopped her grief, looked at Concubine Ye Gui with tears in her eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me, Auntie came to talk to you a few days ago, and I tried my best to persuade you. I can't do such a thing, I don't believe it's her, I don't want to come today to let the empress worry about it, but if I don't come, I'm afraid that the mother will not stop her in front of the imperial concubine, the temper of the mother... I hope Madam will forgive me." Mrs. Sun stood up and said to the end, and accompanied her mother. Concubine Ye quickly raised her hand and signaled: "Get up! Your mother has a cautious and straightforward temper, how can she be so particular in front of her family? You are a My good boy, I have wronged you." Madam Sun heard this, her high heart suddenly fell back into her stomach, her eyes turned red, she obediently got up and sat down again.

"It's your fault!" Concubine Ye Gui turned to look at Madam Qian and reprimanded her first. Madam Qian's face tightened, and Concubine Ye continued: "You should come to find me when this matter comes together, how can you wait until now?" Did you come at this level? Duke Dingguo’s mansion will lose all face!" Madam Qian felt relieved after hearing the reprimand, and hurriedly explained: "Your Majesty doesn't know, it was the first time that Qiutangdi went to court and said that he was talking to my concubine If there is an affair, I just want to come to my mother to talk about this matter, and ask my mother to make an idea, it is this girl who will not let me come, saying that the official family is seriously ill, and the fourth master is in charge of the country, and the mother does not know how busy she is. , you can't come here to bother your empress because of these little housework."

"This is where she is courteous and considerate, and that's what I love her for. But you are young and innocent, and you have a pure heart. You don't know how sinister the sinister part of your heart is." Concubine Ye Gui turned to Madam Sun in the middle of her speech and said: " At the beginning, I also liked Zhu's scheming methods, alas, everything is like this, there are advantages and disadvantages, who knew that she would use such scheming methods on her own people!"

"Your Majesty looks like one of my own, but she looks like an enemy!" Madam Qian interjected, Concubine Ye Gui was slightly startled, and slowly sighed: "Your words are very true, I was negligent." Concubine Ye Gui's voice was very slow, and her expression was a little dazed. First, the old lady also said the same thing as herself. Back then, I laughed at the stupidity of the old lady more than once in my heart. Later, the old lady died... Ye Guifei shook slightly , suddenly turned to look at Mrs. Sun and asked abruptly: "How long has it been since fourth brother rested in your room?"

"It's been a month." Mrs. Sun was about to say exactly how many days, but the words changed into a rough idea.

"This past month, the fourth brother rests at Zhu's place every day?" Concubine Ye Gui asked anxiously, Madam Sun nodded timidly: "Well, I remember the war in the north, I don't understand this, I wish my sister was born in the general family, Xu Neng can talk to Master." Concubine Ye Gui slapped the Kang table hard before she finished listening, this Zhu family, this Zhu family actually managed to fool the fourth brother, do you really think she is a bodhisattva made of clay?

The servant received Ye Guifei's orders, and rushed to the Marquis of Chang'an to summon Mrs. Zhou into the palace. Mrs. Zhou hurriedly changed her clothes and left the mansion with the servant, and sat in the car. No matter what, she couldn't think of anything to do. so urgent.

After half a meal, Mrs. Zhou's face was blue and gray with anger, she got out of the prison and got into the car, and went down to Jian'an County Prince's Mansion.

Seeing Mrs. Zhou's sudden arrival, Zhu Mingyan's expression was not very right, she hurriedly turned away all the girls and women, please leave Ao Shuang to serve, Mrs. Zhou drank a cup of tea calmly, her face eased a lot, she put down the cup, her eyes fell on Zhu Mingyan said with gentle concern on her swollen stomach: "Is your body okay for a while?"

"Very good!" Zhu Mingyan stroked her chest lightly, her face was full of maternal love: "Even if you've been moving a lot lately, it seems that you can't stay idle. Give Weng Weng a hard time." Mrs. Zhou lowered her eyelids, was silent for a moment, looked up at Ao Shuang and said: "Go to the door and watch, I have something to say to your princess."
