Traitor

Chapter 253 The Emperor's Mind

The appearance of Zhao Wuyou made Shen Yan's face tense, and he didn't know what to do.Fortunately, he was born with a face of ice cubes, so he wouldn't change his face when he saw Zhao Wuyou.

Unhurriedly, Shen Yan leaned over to salute, and bowed towards Zhao Wuyou, "The lowly position is an unintentional mistake, it's not intentional to hurt Mrs. Shangshu, I hope Master Zhao will see clearly."

"Wen Gu." Zhao Wuyou glanced at Wen Gu, and Wen Gu entered the room knowingly.

"Let's all go out and wait!" Wen Gu kept Huo Huo behind him, "Help me see where the Princess is hurt."

Everyone retreated outside the room, Zhao Wuyou stood outside, looking at Shen Yan coldly, "Master Qianhu thinks that you can fool me with just a few words? There are people coming and going on the street, you should be a Is everyone blind?"

"No matter how bad the princess is, she is also the wife of my Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites. Master Qianhu intends to leave this matter behind after a word of insight? When did my Shangshufu become so easy to bully?"

Shen Yan took a deep breath, "It's not intentional to be humble." He was not good at words, and he always said the same sentence, as if there was no second sentence to say.So in the end, Shen Yan just stood aside, silent like a wooden stake.

Zhao Wuyou has seen people who make excuses and sophistry, and people who are red-faced because of disputes, but they have never seen such a silent person.Shen Yan is Mu Baili's brother, and Zhao Wuyou doesn't want to deliberately make things difficult.But on the bright side, Shangshufu and Dongchang are irreconcilable, and they cannot be easily let go.

Fortunately, Lu Guoan arrived in a hurry, "Master Zhao!"

After saluting, Lu Guoan glanced at Shen Yan beside him, and sighed helplessly, "Master Zhao, this matter is the responsibility of Dongchang. Lord Qiantose has explained it. I will definitely not evade what I should bear, so I invite Zhao Don't worry, my lord."

"The princess is still lying in there, do you want me to rest assured?" Zhao Wuyou gave Lu Guoan a chilly look, "Your Qiantui Lord is so arrogant, you dare to hide from others after hurting the princess, don't you?" If I have to file a complaint with the emperor, can I give up?"

Lu Guoan's complexion was a little sick. Before coming, Lord Qiantui had explained that Zhao Wuyou would deliberately make things difficult, and he would not let this matter go easily.That's why Lu Guoan was prepared in his heart, but he didn't expect Zhao Wuyou to want to sue the emperor. This matter is not that simple.

"Master Zhao has a large number of people, and Lord Qiantui has important responsibilities, so he can't come and deal with it personally, but Lord Qiantui has explained that as long as Master Zhao can calm down his anger, East Factory will be able to bear all the demands." Lu Guoan was terrified. Anyway, this The two are a family, no matter what big words they say, it doesn't matter.

At that time, if Zhao Wuyou wanted to settle accounts, he could only turn to Mu Baili.

Lu Guoan thought, Lord Qiantui is so smart and so clever, he must be able to coax him, and he will definitely be able to calm things down.But there was still a little cold sweat on his forehead, Zhao Wuyou was not used to playing cards according to common sense, so - he was not sure what Zhao Wuyou wanted to do this time.

After all, I didn't get through this matter earlier, who knows what Mr. Zhao thinks.

"Suxi." Zhao Wuyou said, "Go to the palace."

Su Xi was taken aback, "My lord?"

"The princess is injured, the emperor must inform you." Zhao Wuyou's eyes darkened, "Otherwise people who don't know will think that my Shangshufu has treated the princess badly, causing the princess to be injured all over. , the scapegoat Shangshufu cannot bear it."

Su Xi nodded, "I understand!"

At this time, if you want to hide it, you can't hide it. It's better to report it to the emperor first, otherwise you will be with Mu Baili if you delay the report... Lu Guoan also knows the reason, but in front of everyone, he still has to be respectful.

People in Dongchang still have to have the awe they should have when dealing with imperial officials.Otherwise, if it reaches the emperor's ears, it will be arrogance.

After Suxi left, Lu Guoan's expression darkened.

Not long after, Wen Gu walked out of the room and saluted Zhao Wuyou, "Most of the princess's wounds were skin trauma, and the most serious injury was his arm. I have to rest in peace for the past two days, so I'm afraid it will be inconvenient."

"Arm?" Zhao Wuyou stared at Lu Guoan, "Do you still think it's a trivial matter? The princess injured her arm, and it will be difficult for her to move in the past few days, so don't blame me for being unforgiving."

"Master Zhao, although this matter is caused by Dongchang, the Princess is not in danger of life. If Lord Zhao—Dongchang is willing to send someone to serve the Princess personally until the Princess is safe." Lu Guoan saluted.

Zhao Wuyou chuckled twice, and said with a sneer, "Where do you think my Shangshu Mansion is? My own wife was injured, and I lost even a servant? Do you want Dongchang to worry about it?"

After saying that, Zhao Wuyou's expression darkened, "Go back to Dongchang, let Mu Baili wait for the emperor! Let's go to the emperor and discuss this in detail. Wengu, take the princess back to the mansion."

"Yes!" Wen Gu bowed his head.

This farce can be regarded as a big one, and it really should have come to the emperor.

Zhao Wuyou stood aside with a pale complexion, watching Mu Baili slowly walk into the imperial study room, his face was cool, and his eyes were also cool, it seemed that they were two people working independently.

Mu Baili saluted respectfully, "My humble minister bows to the emperor for his peace."

The emperor rubbed his brows, and looked at Zhao Wuyou who was on the side with a little worry, "There is no need to be strict, I am here to uphold justice today. Mr. Zhao came to the palace today to look for me, and said that the people from Dongchang shocked Shangshu The carriage in the mansion fell off the princess. Now that the princess is slightly injured, what does Mu Aiqing think should be done?"

"Returning to the emperor, I also feel that the people in Dongchang mishandled this matter. It's just that Shen Qianhu was performing official duties at the time, and it seemed that he was a little impatient. It happened to be reported at the border, so he couldn't guard against the people on the long street. I think that the next time people from Dongchang go out, they will definitely avoid the people from Shangshu’s mansion, and I hope the emperor will punish them lightly.” Everyone could hear the irony in Mu Baili’s words. .

The emperor was stunned, and immediately smiled at Zhao Wuyou, "Collisions on this street are inevitable, not to mention it is for official business, this..." The emperor is not sure who is responsible, after all, the street is not the Shangshufu of.

Zhao Wuyou smiled but didn't smile, "What the emperor said is very true, but I made a fuss out of a molehill. I just feel that as a man, I can't even protect my wife well. It's really my fault."

"This..." The emperor paused, then looked at Mu Baili again, "After all, this matter is Dongchang's fault, Zhao Aiqing is not at fault. It's just that it happened suddenly and no one was prepared, so this matter can't be done. Dongchang is all to blame. It’s inevitable to talk about bumps and bumps, so everyone calm down and talk about things.”

After finishing speaking, the emperor glanced at Xiao Dezi.

Xiao Dezi hurriedly said, "What the emperor said is very true. In fact, this is an accident. Since it was an accident, it is better for the two adults not to be angry. Instead of arguing over whose responsibility it is, it is better to discuss how to deal with it." For good."

The emperor hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, since the incident happened, let's discuss how to deal with it! Zhao Aiqing, why don't you talk about your request and see if Dongchang has the sincerity."

"Sincerity?" Zhao Wuyou smiled coolly, "The princess is injured now, so Shen Qianhu can't be allowed to serve the princess, right?"

"So what's the matter? As long as Mr. Zhao is happy, Shen Yan can go over to serve the princess at any time. When the princess is satisfied, he will come back." Mu Baili smiled charmingly, and then leaned over to the emperor After saluting, "Your Majesty, I am willing."

"You!" Zhao Wuyou was dumbfounded.

This fellow promised so quickly that before she had time to attack, he blocked the way out.One must know that the emperor is always afraid of trouble, and what Zhao Wuyou said just now, and no matter whether it is a joke or a mockery, what is said is water that is thrown out, and it cannot be taken back. .

"That's fine too!" The emperor nodded, "Mu Aiqing can do it, I still have something to do with Zhao Aiqing, you should go back and deal with it first."

Mu Baili bowed and saluted, "I will leave!"

Before leaving, Mu Baili cast a cool glance at Zhao Wuyou from the corner of his eye.This girl was also staring at him with that kind of evil light, and she really seemed to be at odds with each other.

I sigh in my heart, there will be more and more days like this in the future, after all, I am an opponent.It turns out that sometimes I really hate this kind of intrigue and scramble. A war without gunpowder is the most exhausting lock.

When Mu Baili left, Zhao Wuyou's expression was still not very good. This made people from the East Factory enter the Shangshu Mansion, which is not a good thing.It just happens that this is the only way to make people feel that these two people are not dealing with each other, and they are trying their best to take advantage of each other's loopholes.

At least in the eyes of the emperor, this is indeed the case.

Following the emperor on the Jiuqu Corridor Bridge, Zhao Wuyou coughed lightly twice.Even in summer, the wind is still uncomfortable.Although her body gradually improved, she was still not quite used to the coolness.

After being ill for more than ten years, it still takes time to become a normal person all of a sudden.

"Zhao Aiqing's health still not recovering?" The emperor sat down.

There was a cool breeze blowing in the pavilion, Zhao Wuyou coughed lightly, and his plain complexion was a little sick, "I have been used to this body for many years, thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

"Sit down!" said the emperor, "It's rare for you to enter the palace once, to play chess and have a good conversation with me! You have been away to Huanglan for so long, and I really can't find anyone in this palace to talk to. people."

Zhao Wuyou saluted, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

As for the black and white chess pieces, Zhao Wuyou walked cautiously, just like in reality.There is a limit to advancing and retreating, for fear of making mistakes.

The emperor glanced at Zhao Wuyou's habitual smile, and his eyes fell on Zhao Wuyou's hand holding the chess pieces.A white jade man with icy muscles and bones, his fingers are slender and boneless.
