Chapter 167 Foreign Affairs
At this time, Huihui was very annoyed by what she thought of, and she didn't care about her son not saying that her father had passed, so she directly said bluntly: "Father is too. Even if you want to train you, you have to take your time. After so many A good hand can hurt a few, which shows how cruel the other party is, if you have a good or bad thing, how can I live?" After talking, tears of fear came down.

When Shi Tao heard that his younger sister was so weird, he felt very headache. His younger sister was not easy to fool, and seeing her tears streaming down, he felt flustered.

Shi Tao panicked, and simply opened his mouth and said: "I haven't finished talking yet, look, I'm in a hurry, don't cry, my father didn't arrange for me to go in such a hurry, he just wanted to let me go It's all about showing your face. If you go slowly on this trip according to your father's arrangement, you won't encounter any danger. The person who meets you is actually the fourth prince's side. I'm going to make my uncle happy. Don't blame me Father." After speaking, he quickly took out a handkerchief from the armhole and handed it to his sister, motioning for her to wipe away her tears.

Huihui was also frightened when she heard about the danger her brother encountered!This is the one who shed tears angrily and anxiously. After being told by my brother, I also knew that I should change my impatient temper, otherwise I would panic when things happen, but I couldn't do it, so I honestly admitted my mistake: "It's my sister who is not good. I shouldn't have asked. If you understand it, you can blame your father, but if you don’t blame your father for this matter, then it’s your brother’s fault, hum! Brother, you’d better be honest and clear, or I’ll let you off lightly.” After finishing speaking, she pouted angrily. .

Shi Tao saw his younger sister honestly admitting her mistake at the beginning, and then turned on him again in a blink of an eye, which gave him a headache, and seeing her pouting her small mouth, he thought it was very funny, so he didn't care about her casually blaming his father.

Shi Tao said helplessly and dotingly: "Okay, it's all my brother's fault, don't be angry, listen to my brother." After finishing speaking, Shi Tao paused, then sighed and continued: "We are going in two parts this time. The way, no one knows our way, it is naturally safe when we go, only when we got to the riverside did we encounter trouble, the enemy was caught by the other way, the fourth prince's people, in fact, sending me there is just optional, This is just for my father to accumulate popularity for my brother, so that my uncle and the fourth prince value him."

Speaking of this, Shi Tao twitched the corners of his mouth bitterly. His father had tried his best for him, but he couldn't show much face for him.

When Huihui heard this, she was taken aback. She really didn't expect her father, who was far away in the border town, to plan so much. Of course, Huihui knew a long time ago that her brother would not get in touch with her uncle and the fourth prince. How could my brother make it happen without my father's arrangement for this operation?

Seeing her elder brother smiling wryly, Huihui hurriedly took her elder brother's hand, and comforted her: "What's the matter, he is our father, so it's out of love to do so, and if we don't accept it, father will be sad. Okay, in the future I won't blame my father casually, I feel weird seeing you like this."

Shi Tao knew that she had misunderstood what he meant, but she didn't know how to explain it. All along, she wished that her sister could get close to her father. This would be of great benefit to her sister, so she nodded and said: " Got it, my sister is at ease, my brother still has some sense of propriety."

Seeing that his sister was quieter after speaking, Shi Tao patted his sister's hand, and continued: "Fang Yi's injury was suffered on the way back from picking up his uncle. The Fourth Prince didn't expect it when we went there. Unexpectedly, he was so taboo about his uncle's return, so he didn't send too many people. Later, when something happened by the river, the people from the fourth prince's side reported the letter to the fourth prince, so on the way back, the fourth prince sent Commander Li It's up to you to accept it."

Hearing this, Huihui was a little confused. Isn't this commander guarding the emperor? It is equivalent to the forbidden army. How can he leave at will?Unknowingly asked: "The fourth prince sent Commander Li. Is it the emperor's intention or privately? I seem to know that the commander is the commander of the Jingwei. Isn't this under the emperor's control? What about Commander Li?" Able to leave Beijing? Isn’t the Fourth Prince afraid of exposing Commander Li’s matter?”

But Huihui knew that the commander of the Jingwei was equivalent to the imperial guards belonging to the emperor's personal army. If the fourth prince didn't go on the bright side, he would have made a big mistake.

Good sister!He is really smart, and he explained the key point here in one sentence. Shi Tao didn't intend to talk about these things in the court, but seeing his sister is so wise, he felt that without his mother's teaching, he still had to talk about some things with his sister. of.

Thinking of this, Shi Tao moved closer to his sister and said in a low voice: "Since my sister has mentioned this, brother might as well tell you more. I think there are quite a lot of things going on here. The matter of Commander Li is said to be sent by the fourth prince." , I think it was probably ordered by the emperor, otherwise the fourth prince would never let Commander Li do it. He has a lot of people under his command, so there is no need to expose Commander Li's affairs, even though Commander Li is the same The four princes have different affections, but it is not appropriate to openly help each other."

After listening to these words, Huihui knew that there was no need to inquire about the following matters. Even if she asked, her brother probably didn't know. Fortunately, she understood the emperor's attitude through this incident, so she nodded and said, "That's good. From this point of view, the emperor seems to have let the matter of the Li family go, after all he is still a loving father."

Hearing his sister talking about a loving father, Shi Tao couldn't help but smile ironically. It's not a wise idea to talk about a loving father with the royal family, but the emperor did consider his aunt about the uncle, but how much is open to discussion, but if so Wanting to reassure his sister, Shi Tao didn't want to explain more, so he nodded and said: "Well, yes, maybe the emperor also felt that the people below were too arrogant, so he sent Commander Li to do this. It’s not something we can understand, sister, don’t think about it.”

Now that Shi Tao recalled the danger of being besieged when he passed through the dense forest on his way back, he still felt trembling, so he didn't want his sister to ask any more questions. He really thought those people were crazy and dared to oppose the emperor, but Shi Tao was also surprised Uncle has been away from Beijing for more than ten years, and this meeting still makes these people nervous. Could it be that something happened to the Li family back then?Or what power does grandpa have in his hands?
What Shi Tao could think of, Huihui naturally could also think of it. She frowned unconsciously and said, "Who did uncle offend, and people put so much effort to kill him, or is it because he is afraid that he will return to Beijing? Could it be that What kind of power is uncle holding in his hand, or is he holding onto some people?" He frowned deeply as he spoke.

After thinking for a while, Huihui sighed again: "Forget it, we can't know these things, by the way, brother Fang Yi was injured just to protect you when you returned, if so, these things People are going to kill! I don't know if they know that the emperor already knows about this?"

Shi Tao saw his younger sister getting more and more expert in speaking, and felt a headache. He was afraid that she would say something surprising, so he hurriedly stopped him and said, "Don't say it, don't say these things in the future, okay? Brother, as long as you stay at home with peace of mind, do your best." Embroidery is good for studying. My brother and father are involved in the outside affairs. Now that my uncle is back, you don’t have to worry about the affairs outside or in the house. You! Just stay at ease and care about others’ well-being do what."

When Huihui saw her brother like this, she knew that there were some things she couldn't probe too much, so she nodded and said, "Well, listen to my brother, I won't say much, as long as you are all right, I can feel at ease, others are good or bad. It has nothing to do with me, by the way, do the people in the house know when you go out and come back? Do you want to go to the old lady's place?" Huihui is most afraid that the old lady will make her brother disrespectful.

Shi Tao knew what his younger sister was worried about, so he sneered unconsciously, shook his head and said: "No, since I spent a while with her last time, now she doesn't want to see me at all, besides, she doesn't care about me at this time. Not with me, let alone the old lady, even the step-wife and the second wife have no energy to take care of us."

When Shi Tao said this, he was determined, and then he continued: "They also have eyes and ears. Outside, because the crown prince has been ill for a long time, people are already panicking. At this time, the emperor asked his uncle to come back. What is the plan inside?" , but no one can figure it out, that's why those individuals spared no effort to stop uncle's footsteps, knowing that our Uncle Hou Ye belongs to the Prince's faction, so how can they feel at ease?"

Huihui already knew about this matter through Nanny Li, and felt that her brother was right, so she nodded and said, "That's fine, if you don't go, don't go, maybe they won't care even if they know you're not at home, after all you often Instead of going back to the yard, we had no choice but to send us to the door and say, by the way, brother, how did you get the old lady to let me go out? I haven't figured it out after thinking about it for many days." After speaking, Huihui blinked brightly Her eyes looked at her brother with interest.

Shi Tao laughed and said cheerfully: "Don't lie to me, you can't figure it out, you are just making a fuss about my aunt, you! What a careless person, brother It's settled for you, you just have a good rest, why bother thinking about it, okay, let's not talk, I'm leaving now, there is no need for people to talk, don't follow, I'll go and see Fang Yi, as for How did you come here at night? I'll think about it then, don't worry, just rest, and I'll let Nanny Li know." After saying that, Shi Tao nodded his sister's head amusedly.

As soon as Huihui heard that her brother was leaving, she didn't bother him to ask the specific method to make the old lady bow her head, she hurriedly got up and said, "Okay, brother, wait a moment, I'll get the bank note, and then I went to the study .”

Seeing his younger sister walking towards the study, Shi Tao felt strange, it was strange enough that the younger sister had money, why didn't she put the money in the box in the bedroom, instead put it in the study?As if knowing her brother's doubts, Huihui, who had just walked to the door of the study, suddenly turned her head to meet her brother's gaze, smiled and said, "Brother, come here, I need help." Embarrassed by peeking, he went around the screen and entered the study.

Shi Tao wasn't peeking just now, but he was just curious. He didn't expect to be caught by his younger sister, and he couldn't help being very embarrassed. His audible younger sister asked him to help, so he didn't worry about this bad girl's narrowness any more. Standing up, he followed in politely.
