Chapter 76 The Witty Fourth Young Master
Han Jiangxue nodded in a daze, and the children in the yard ran happily, and a little girl with croissant braids ran over and asked, "Madam, can you be a hen?"

"Don't be rude." Master Zhou reprimanded softly.

Han Jiangxue looked at the tender little girl, thought for a while, nodded and said, "It is possible, but you have to teach me how to do it."

"Okay." The little girl was reprimanded by the master, but when she agreed, she immediately laughed again, stretched out her hand to hold Mrs. Han, and left.

Shen Guiyan watched them play games with a smile. Han Jiangxue was still a little stiff, but after a while, she ran more happily than anyone else.

"I heard that the Fourth Young Master has served under General Yuwen." Master Zhou stroked his beard and said.

Shen Guiyan nodded: "He himself is willing to be relocated."

"This isn't a move, it's clearly a promotion." Master Zhou laughed twice: "I've already said that your husband-in-law is great."

Shen Guiyan was puzzled and looked at Master Zhou for a while.From being a servant of the Ministry of punishment to being a military commander, why is it a relegation rather than a promotion?
Master Zhou stroked his beard and didn't say much. He still had the same virtuous and inscrutable appearance as before, always only half-talking.

Yuwen House.

Today Yuwen Houde went to the funeral, Gu Chaobei naturally reported to General Yuwen directly, and in the afternoon he agreed to go to the school grounds together.

However, Yuwen Changqing said that in order to show his dislike for Chaobei, so that people with discerning eyes could see the sense of opposition, so he purposely ate snacks and listened to a little song in the mansion, and let Gu Chaobei stand outside wearing a leather armor .

The servants in Yuwen's mansion liked this very much, talking about how much General Yuwen hated this Young Master Gu.

"I said, it's about the same anyway, right? My father is still the prime minister." After standing for an hour, Gu Chaobei finally couldn't hold back his mouth.

Yuwen Changqing stuffed a horseshoe cake in his mouth, clapped his hands and stood up and said, "Okay, don't get excited, let's go to the school grounds."

Others felt that Gu Chaobei was disrespectful, and Yuwen Changqing was informal. The two seemed to be in harmony with each other, but it's a pity that they had different positions.

Today was the day when Yuwen Changqing was going to the school field for military inspection. He ordered his horses and carriages early in the morning, got in the car and headed to the south of the city in an orderly manner.When finally there were only these two people in the car, Gu Chaobei said: "Gu Chaodong has also taken office, and the one in the palace has delayed long enough, it's almost time to start."

Yuwen Changqing smiled very calmly: "Do you still need to talk about it? I arranged it early in the morning. Today Fu Xueshi is going to the palace to visit his doctor. There is a new concubine Ji in his house who loves cold smoke. Yesterday The Grand Maester rested there."

Gu Chaobei raised his eyebrows: "Your person?"

With a low laugh, Yuwen Changqing didn't answer him, but said: "The Sixth Prince likes Ambergris, once Xueshi Fu enters, the matter will naturally be understood, and it doesn't matter who it is."

Together, ambergris and cold smoke incense are the least detectable poisons.After smelling it for a long time, you will see the most feared thing in your heart, have hallucinations, and finally be scared to death by yourself.

The sixth prince didn't need to be too frightened by his breath, just inhaling a little bit of cold smoke fragrance was enough to kill him.

This world has been occupied by Luanhuang for too long, and it's time to take it back slowly.

"So, I'm relieved." Gu Chaobei chuckled, leaning against the wall of the car and said, "Poor man is still dreaming of getting promoted and getting rich. Isn't it too cruel for me to treat him like this?"

Yu Wenchang gave him an innocent look: "I'm afraid you'll be waiting for this day. In this world, who can be more cruel than you?"

Gu Chaobei laughed heck, he couldn't help but laugh.

Just after noon, there was the sound of mourning in the palace.The queen was furious, and knelt down to the Qianzheng Hall holding the sixth prince's body.The emperor was shocked and asked the imperial physician to investigate the cause of the sixth prince's death.

"The emperor was seriously injured. Although his life was dying, he was getting better day by day. I didn't expect to die suddenly today! I beg the emperor to make the decision, this matter must be man-made!"

The queen was hoarse, and almost fainted on the stairs several times. The scholar of Fu University and other ministers all came to help, and the queen mother also came after hearing the news.

Once the sixth prince dies, no one can shake the fifth prince's position as the prince, so how can the empress be reconciled?Every word and every sentence is straight towards the prince, with the faint intention of asking him to pay for his life.

After the emperor ordered a thorough investigation, he didn't take much action. He just made the sixth prince a prince and ordered him to be buried with honor.The queen was not reconciled, so she turned her anger on the Ministry of Punishment, fulfilled the promise of the day, dismissed all the people in the Ministry of Punishment, investigated and dealt with them, and replaced newcomers.

Because of the assassination of the Sixth Prince, everyone in the Ministry of Punishment had their black hats pinned on their waistbands. Now that it's done, they can finally be put down.None can be saved.

The officials in the imperial court also took advantage of the trend and changed a wave.

The situation in the capital became tense.Prime Minister Gu went out early and came back late every day, only Gu Chaobei was still gagging, following Yuwen Changqing to the school field to train soldiers, and he was completely out of the dire straits.

What he never expected was that Gu Chaodong finally snatched the position from Gu Chaobei, but the empress got angry and the ribbon he just got disappeared in a blink of an eye.

This was more exciting than riding a roller coaster. Gu Chaodong ran back and forth, and finally got some wind from Xueshi Fu: "When the limelight passes and the results of the scientific examination come out, you can still become an official."

Gu Chaodong was about to cry, what evil did he do, he was cuckolded and lost his wife, and after losing his wife, he lost the official position he just got. Is God going to make things difficult for him?

When Shen Guiyan heard the news, she finally understood what Master Zhou meant.

Dare to feel that Gu Chaobei felt that the sixth prince would not live long, so he deliberately gave up the position of servant?

But how did he know?
This is good, Gu Chaodong is about to flex his muscles, and immediately becomes a peasant again, while Gu Chaobei is still eating and drinking under the command of General Yuwen.

"Does the lady think that it is best to marry as a husband?" Gu Chaobei narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Shen Guiyan yawned, rubbed her forehead and said, "Yes, Mr. Xiang is the best."

The blue color in front of her eyes is very heavy, and Shen Guiyan hasn't slept well in the past few days.It was exhausting to follow the account books in the mansion during the day, and at night I could hear ghosts crying and wolves howling.The strange thing is that it didn't exist when Gu Chaobei was around, and when he wasn't around, white cloth floated in the yard.

She went out to see it many times. People in the north courtyard said it was a ghost, but she always thought it was just a bed sheet in the backyard.

It didn't scare her, but it did startle Baoshan, and she couldn't sleep peacefully.

"Miss tired?" Gu Chaobei raised his eyebrows slightly, stood up and let her wrap his arms around his waist: "Let me rest for a while."

Shen Guiyan nodded, sat on the stool and hugged Gu Chaobei's waist, closed her eyes and meditated.

Just as Jiang was about to step in with tea, she saw Gu Chaobei waving his hand to signal her not to.Slightly taken aback, she lowered her head and saw the woman leaning on his waist, sleeping soundly.

Pursing her lips, Jiang Shi pointed to the tea in her hand, which she specially collected dew to brew, waiting for him to come back to drink.

Master hasn't been in other people's houses for a long time, and he is so gentle to his wife, how can she think about it?It was clear that I only comforted her last time, but now I don't care about her...

Thinking of this, Jiang's eyes filled with tears.

Gu Chaobei sighed softly, pointed to the sleeping Shen Guiyan, and made a helpless gesture to Jiang Shi.Jiang Shi gritted her teeth, turned around with her tea and left.

"What's wrong, Auntie?" Just as she walked to the door of her room, Jiang Biyue heard Qing Huan's voice.

Turning around to look, isn't that girl, she has a very fresh face, but she has never been rewarded by the master.It was named Tongfang girl, but she had been lying on the couch with her a few years ago.

Jiang Shi sighed and said, "It's nothing, it's just the same as before."

Qing Huan looked at the tea in her hand, pursed her lips and said, "How can it be the same as before? In the past, if the master didn't use us, he would coax us to deal with it anyway. Now the master is all focused on the wife, we want to see you It's hard on one side."

"Stop talking." Jiang Biyue felt a pain in her heart, and went into the room to put down her tea.Qing Huan came in after her, but she still said, "Auntie is kind, when Sister Shuangjiang was here, she was able to help you fight for favor. Now Shuangjiang has been cleared away by her, and none of us sisters are left." A few more. If Auntie continues like this, we should end up with Shuang Jiang in the end."

Jiang Shi was taken aback, looked up at her, got up and closed the door: "My sister seems to have a lot to say today, why don't I say it all at once."

Qing Huan smiled: "My aunt is transparent, Qing Huan can't live on like this, I want to ask my aunt if she has the same thoughts as Qing Huan. If so, Qing Huan is willing to pretend to be my aunt on this boat."

"What's on your mind?" Jiang Shi lowered her eyes with a guilty conscience: "I just want to serve the Lord wholeheartedly..."

"Really?" Qing Huan reached out to take the tea on her table, lifted the lid and sniffed lightly: "The love of spring is deep in my bones, is this what my aunt said I just want to serve wholeheartedly?"

Jiang's face flushed, her lips turned pale, and she quickly snatched the teacup over, not afraid of burning her hands, and looked at her with frowns.

"Qing Huan has no malicious intentions, let alone harm you." The little girl smiled gently and said, "Don't be afraid, Auntie. How about Qing Huan treating you to a good show tonight?"

Jiang Biyue backed away with some fear: "What play?"

In the past, I only thought that Qing Huan was clever and sensible, but I didn't expect that she was also a scheming person.She looked a little scary like this, and she couldn't believe it.

"What are you afraid of?" Qing Huan sighed and said: "We are on the same boat, if you are afraid, you should be afraid of others."

She has waited long enough, Shen Guiyan has been married for more than half a month, and she has almost figured out her temper that should be figured out, and she can't just stay silent for a lifetime.

Seeing that the fourth young master's official career is prosperous, he will definitely skyrocket.If you don't fight now, you won't have a chance in the future.
