The dark-bellied prime minister's cute wife

Chapter 381 A Bowl of Chicken Soup

On the second day when the Dragon Scrophulariaceae came back to the imperial study, he asked the person in front of him: "Did Ronghe and the others ever leave?"

Guo Huai was naturally aware of what happened that day, knowing that the emperor would inquire, so he asked someone to ask at the gate of the palace in advance, and now seeing the emperor asking this question, he said: "Your Majesty! I left. I should have left the city gate by now."

Hearing this, Long Xuanshen nodded, as if he remembered something, and then continued to ask: "Did anyone come out beside them?"

Guo Huai didn't know why he asked such a question, but he still answered: "Your Majesty! The guard who let go said that the carriage only had Princess Ronghe, Guard Huang and that Xintao, and no one else."

Didn't you go?

Suddenly, the corner of the Dragon Scrophulariae's mouth curved, and then looked at Guo Huai who was beside him and continued: "Do you want to make a bet with me?" There was a hint of teasing in the tone, but it made Guo Huai in front of him a little dumbfounded ,bet?

He looked at him but didn't dare to continue asking. Fortunately, Long Xuanshen was not there, so he continued as an outsider: "I think that Yan Ke will definitely follow."

Hearing this, Guo Huai suddenly remembered the last time when Rong and the princess broke the case of Director Zhou, the emperor concluded that the matter must have Yan Ke's help, otherwise, according to Master Su's temperament The case will not be solved so quickly.

Although it is said that Mr. Su is concentrating on solving the case, there are many things that need to be investigated clearly, so what happened last time was so fast and ruthless. There will be such ability, so only Xiangye can do it.

So this time, the emperor meant...

Long Xuanshen seemed to have seen through his thoughts before continuing: "I guess that Yan Ke will definitely follow this time. After all, he knows that Rong's temperament and will not solve such a difficult case, let alone that Yan Ke will definitely follow him. The matter of the Goddess is too much in his eyes, and he is reluctant to tolerate and take such a risk."

Guo Huai knew that the emperor in front of him was unwilling to have the slightest connection between Rong and the princess and Yan Ke, because they were no longer two people at the moment, not to mention that Yan Ke had participated in the previous rebellion For one thing, how could the emperor accept such a brother-in-law?However, I have heard a lot about the Ronghe princess and the former prime minister before, and they have experienced many difficulties, but it is a pity that they still have nothing to do with each other...

Logically speaking, the emperor should prevent Yan Ke from approaching Princess Ronghe, but why did he let go this time?With confusion in his heart, he glanced at the emperor, but he didn't dare to ask the question in his heart.

Long Xuanshen took a full look at his expression and then suddenly laughed: "Is there anything you can't say between you and me? If you have doubts in your heart, just ask."

Guo Huai has been with Long Scrophulariae for more than ten years, and the friendship in it is naturally incomparable to others, so seeing him say this now, he directly asked the doubts in his heart.

However, this kind of question made Longxuancan suddenly put away the smile on his mouth. After a while, when Guo Huai thought he would not answer, Longxuancan suddenly said: "You should I know, this kind of life is not what I want..." He said and looked out of the window, as if there was something that attracted him, his eyes seemed to drift away, and he looked towards the distance , The life I want in my heart is to ride the horse and raise the whip, to retire to the mountains and forests, to ignore all these political affairs, and to be able to live an ordinary but satisfying life.

But all of this... is just a dream of mine. I have always wanted Rong He to take over my position, so I have repeatedly arranged those difficult cases for her. My eldest brother is making things difficult for him, but my intention is to make Ronghe be respected and respected by the people everywhere in such cases again and again, so that it will be more beneficial for Ronghe to take over his position in the future, isn't it? ?
Guo Huai has followed Longxuanshen for more than ten years, so he naturally knows what is going on in his heart. He seems to have guessed a lot of things these few times. The emperor is going to abdicate. In fact, the last time the emperor took action against the Tang family was not because of the Tang family. What the family has done has really reached the point where the emperor in front of him can't bear it, it's just because he wants to hand over a country without treacherous ministers to Princess Ronghe.

Glancing at him, Guo Huai said: "So what the emperor said last time, that Yan Ke will return to the court in a fair manner one day, will that be the time when Princess Ronghe takes over the throne?"

Long Xuanshen glanced at him and suddenly laughed: "You have been with me for more than ten years, and then you will be free." At that time, I was no longer the emperor.

Guo Huai glanced at him, tears streaming down his face: "The emperor will be the emperor all his life, and this old slave will serve the emperor all his life."

Hearing such words, Long Scrophulariaceae felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, and the atmosphere was suddenly a little depressed. At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door.

The two looked at each other, and Guo Huai quickly wiped away his tears before walking out.

But he saw that Tang Yanran's close maid, Wan Zhu, brought chicken soup.

He brought the chicken soup in and put it on the table, then he looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty! It's the chicken soup sent by the empress's maid. According to her, it was made by the empress herself."

Long Scrophularia glanced at the chicken soup, but stopped talking. Thinking about the last time I discussed Tang Yanran's future with the person in front of me, I actually had an ominous premonition in my heart, looking at the chicken soup There was a hint of vigilance in the eyes: "You just said that the chicken soup was made by the empress herself?"

Seeing him nodding his head so quickly, Guo Huai looked at the chicken soup as if he suddenly realized something, then took out a silver needle and stirred it in the chicken soup, and put the silver needle When I took it out, I found that the needle hadn't turned black.

In fact, there was no toxin in the chicken soup, all the poison was put in the three meals a day of Scrophularia lanceolata, this so-called chicken soup was just a cover.

Seeing that the silver needle was nothing, Long Scrophulariae sighed: "When did I become like this?" Looking at Guo Huai who was on the side, he smiled.

After gulping down the chicken soup, he said, "Then Tang Yanran wouldn't have such courage. Besides, if she wanted to poison me, she would have done it long ago. Why wait until now? Maybe she is just a hard-working person, This is just to hope that after she gives birth to a child, I will still be able to pamper her as before."

Seeing what he said, Guo Huai nodded quickly. In fact, after thinking about it carefully, although the queen was very arrogant and domineering on weekdays, and punished many servants and servants in private, she was always sincere to the emperor, at least in the Under my own surveillance, I haven't found that she has any bad thoughts about the emperor.

But as long as she thinks about the child in her womb and the Tang family who has always been ambitious, Guo Huai is still very ruthless. Tang Yanran must not stay. At that time, it is necessary to keep the child and leave the mother. Although this is a bit cruel Yes, but who said that Tang Yanran didn't vote for a good family and wanted to become Tang Guogong's daughter?
After that Wanzhu returned to Feng Palace, Tang Yanran who was at the side hurriedly asked, "Did the Emperor drink the chicken soup?"

In fact, Wanzhu was afraid that the appearance of delivering chicken soup to the emperor would be seen by interested people, so she continued to make irresponsible remarks in front of Tang Yanran and felt that she wanted to seduce the emperor, so she directly gave the chicken soup to Eunuch Guo and left Now, seeing Tang Yanran asking herself like this, she nodded her head: "Your Majesty, don't worry! After the servant gave the chicken soup to Eunuch Guo, he watched it outside for a long time, and the emperor drank the chicken soup. .”

Tang Yanran breathed a sigh of relief when she heard her say this.

In fact, today I asked Wan Zhu to send chicken soup to test the emperor.The last time my father was assassinated by this dragon crocus reminded me that I don’t know when I will be targeted by that dragon crocus. At that time, I am afraid that I will die, so the chicken soup is I tried to test Long Scrophulariaceae's attitude towards me.

If he really wanted to kill himself, then he would definitely feel that he would harm him, and he would definitely not drink that chicken soup.But fortunately, he still drank it. Does this prove that the only person he fears in his heart is his father, not himself?

Thinking of Tang Yanran in this way, a smile appeared on the corner of Tang Yanran's mouth, Long Scrophulariae!Do you really think that this palace will not harm you?It's just that the daily chicken soup is just a cover, you have already started to eat the real poisonous dishes, and you still have three meals a day without interruption.

Wanzhu on the side saw her master laughing like this, but she didn't think much about it, she just thought that the emperor was very happy after drinking the chicken soup, so she also started flattering: "Your Majesty! This servant believes that your mother does this every day. A bowl of chicken soup will definitely make the emperor docile to your empress, and at that time, if your empress gives birth to a little prince, the servants will want to see how Concubine Jiang will go against you.”

Hearing her words, Tang Yanran felt a sense of sarcasm. This girl really can't get on the stage. The one I want to deal with is not Concubine Jiang alone, and it's not what I want to be forced to accept the favor of others. Yes, what I want is the world, the most noble woman in the whole world, all of this at the moment is far from enough.

Glancing at her, Tang Yanran put away the smile at the corner of her mouth and continued: "Since this is the case, you have to worry about my palace sending a bowl of chicken soup to the emperor every day, can we stop of."

That Wanzhu nodded, also very happy, what he wanted most was for his empress to be favored, now that the emperor is so obsessed with her tenderness, what else can Concubine Jiang do?
