The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 227 Punishment (two more)

There was a reason for the emperor and the Marquis of Xuanping to leave the palace in Weifu, and it was not surprising that they would meet the old marquis.

Just bumped into it earlier.

The three emperors went to a nearby... theater.

That's right, it's the theater.

The world knows that the Marquis of Xuanping is unruly and romantic, and that beauties love to listen to operas.

The three entered the wing, and the servant outside closed the door.

With a wound on his head, the emperor was so uncomfortable that he was half dead. After he sat down, he said impatiently: "Long story short! How is it?"

The old marquis did not dare to be neglected, and bowed his hands in a salute, saying: "If you return to Your Majesty, since the news of the minister's return to Beijing has spread, the whereabouts of the minister have been followed."

"The Zhuang family?" the emperor asked.

Xuanpinghou grabbed the melon seeds.

The emperor glared at him.

"Alas." The melon seeds were also not allowed to be eaten. His Majesty was so angry that the Marquis of Xuan Ping reluctantly put the melon seeds back.

The old man nodded: "Yes, the old minister went to the temple today, and Prince An quietly followed."

The emperor frowned: "He actually followed you by himself?"

The old marquis didn't find it strange: "His guards and old officials all know him, so he can only take the risk by himself."

It's not easy to find Anjun Wang. On the way there, the old marquis hardly noticed it. When he came back, Anjun got on the carriage a little earlier, and was discovered by the old marquis.

As for why he was in disarray, the old marquis did not know.

When it came to business, the emperor's face became a little serious: "What about the whereabouts of the queen mother? Do you have any eyebrows?"

The old marquis speculated: "I think... the queen mother may have already entered the capital."

The emperor frowned even more: "Why did you say this?"

The old man said thoughtfully: "Although the Zhuang family is still pretending to look for the queen mother, they are looking for a lot slower. Besides, when the Prince of Anjun left the capital, he appeared to be with his sister on a tour of the mountains and waters, but in fact he was inquiring along the way. The news of the Queen Mother. After that, the King of Anjun returned to Beijing in the name of the township examination...Forgive the old minister to say bluntly, the King of Anjun is still young, and he should not give up looking for the Queen Mother for an imperial examination. "

The emperor pondered for a moment, and felt that what the old marquis said was reasonable: "So you think that he returned to Beijing because he found the queen mother? But since he has found it, why not let the queen mother return to the palace?"

When the Empress Dowager returned to Beijing, what she was more afraid of was the emperor.

What kind of trick is this?

The old man pondered: "This... this minister is also puzzled. Maybe... the Queen Mother's leprosy has not been cured, and they are secretly treating the Queen Mother?"

A leprosy queen mother will be despised and rejected by others. When the queen mother Zhuang contracted leprosy, they all thought that the chance to bring down the queen mother came, but who would have expected the queen mother to escape by herself.

If they dared to say that Empress Dowager Zhuang left the palace privately, Master Zhuang dared to question in public whether they murdered Empress Dowager Zhuang.

They didn't dare to block the winners and losers, so they had to use a roundabout strategy, claiming that the queen mother had a sudden illness and went to the palace to recuperate.

Then, intentionally or unintentionally, they let the dealer find out that the Empress Dowager Zhuang had leprosy and escaped.

The Zhuang family also tabooed that the disease would ruin the reputation of the queen mother, so they held it down and searched for the queen mother in private.

The two sides achieved a delicate balance in a short time.

But this balance will one day be upset.

If Mrs. Zhuang really finds and cures Empress Dowager Zhuang, then the day when the two sides will break the balance will not be far away.

The journey from the medical center to the nunnery was not too close, and the journey was delayed for a while. By the time Gu Jiao returned to Bishui Hu, it was already twilight.

A splendid ray of sunshine on the horizon fell on a red wall and green tiles, smearing a warm orange light.

When Gu Jiao walked into the alley, she really felt like she was coming home.

She had never experienced this feeling in her previous life.

In her previous life, the days she lived with her parents were pitiful, blank and indifferent, without the slightest warmth of home.

A home is just a place to live.

Now it seems to have a new meaning.

She would long to come back here after a busy day, long to see the people in the house.

It's not that she has never been tireless, she's just used to being tired, no one will hurt her anyway, so it's useless to be hypocritical.

"Jiaojiao!"

Xiao Jingkong's voice interrupted Gu Jiao's thoughts.

The little guy was sitting on the threshold again waiting for her.

In the morning, he also fell and cried with tears in his eyes, but now he ran towards her and threw himself into her arms.

She took advantage of the situation to pick him up, but he shook his head and said, "No, Jiaojiao is so tired."

He resisted the urge to hug and took Gu Jiao's hand.

"Does your leg still hurt?" Gu Jiao bent over and pulled his trouser legs.

Xiao Jingkong shook his head: "It doesn't hurt!"

In fact, it still hurts a bit, but Xiaojingkong's coquetry is based on the premise of not burdening Gu Jiao.

"Sister!" Gu Xiaoshun heard the movement at the door, and threw down half of the carpentry work he was doing. He rushed out like a monkey and helped Gu Jiao get her little back basket, "Give it to me!"

Gu Xiaoshun insisted on holding the small backpack in his hand, and carefully put her small medicine box into her east room.

Gu Yan was originally shoveling chicken cakes for the small clean room in the yard, and the shoveling made him smoke. He didn't have time for the small clean room, and he didn't care about Gu Xiaoshunkuai. Finally, he saw his sister, her beautiful face was completely black.

Gu Jiao was amused by his appearance.

Gu Yan turned his back awkwardly.

Gu Jiao went to coax him.

It is difficult for others to coax him, but it is not easy for Gu Jiao to coax him? Gu Jiao pulled his hand, and he lost his temper.

Yao shi came out of the stove with a plate of freshly-made steamed cakes. Seeing her daughter, her eyes were full of tenderness: "Jiaojiao is back? I just made some snacks, clear space, go see if my aunt is awake?"

"Okay!" Xiao Jingkong loves to go to her aunt's house for room inspections. She always finds something, and she has a great sense of accomplishment!

Xiao Qingkong hurriedly ran to the old lady's house.

The old lady was holding a jar of candied fruit and eating it loudly.

Lao Jijiu sat silently across from her, watching her eat all afternoon.

Is that edible?

How many years did the emperor starve you for?

"Auntie!" Xiao Jingkong ran over!

The old lady shoved the candied fruit jar into the arms of the old sacrificial wine with lightning speed.

The old sacrifice wine looked at the jar that suddenly appeared in his arms: "..."

You held me here all afternoon just for this moment?

Lao Jijiu didn't want to take the blame, so he immediately returned the jar to the old lady.

The moment Xiaojingkong entered the house, what he saw was the old sacrificial wine holding the candied fruit jar in front of the old lady, and the old lady held her arms in her arms with a face of firmness and rejection!

The old lady snorted and said, "I said I can't eat it, it's useless for you to coerce and lure you!"

Old sacrifice wine: "..."

So is half a jar of candied fruit eaten by ghosts?

Can you still have a bit of the face and self-consciousness of the demon queen?

The old sacrificial wine sighed.

It's no wonder that A-Heng was relieved to bring the Demon Empress by his side, but just like the Demon Empress is now, it really doesn't pose any threat.

It just hurts him.

Every day, either being robbed or being blamed, the old age is miserable!

However, after saying goodbye to Gu Jiao, King Anjun went to the medical clinic and ordered a batch of medicine for golden sore from Miaoshoutang.

I made her angry today, take care of her business and coax her.

After that, Prince An returned to the mansion in a carriage.

Mrs. Zhuang was already waiting in the flower hall.

Because of the matter of the queen mother, Mrs. Zhuang has worried a lot, and everyone has aged a lot.

"Grandfather." Prince An entered the house and gave a salute.

Old Master Zhuang glanced at him, and said calmly, "Why did you come back so late? Have you been following him all day?"

Anjun Wang lowered his eyes: "No, I bought something on the way back to the house."

Master Zhuang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled: "Is there anything unusual about his whereabouts?"

The King of Anjun replied: "He went to see the repaired cable bridge, and he should be looking at the quality of the cable bridge."

The cable bridge was repaired by Master Gu. It is said that Master Gu beat up the old man badly recently. He closed his door to recuperate at home. It is reasonable that the old man would check the rope bridge for him.

But Lao Houye is by no means a simple military general, he is a brave and resourceful old man, he takes one step and counts things that are ten steps away.

Taifu Zhuang suspected that the old man beat up his son on purpose, so that he could look around in an open and honest manner on the pretext of doing things on behalf of his son.

After all, there are too many things in the Ministry of Industry, all over the capital, and the old Houye will not be suspected anywhere.

Of course that was someone else, not Mrs. Zhuang.

Mrs. Zhuang frowned suspiciously: "Just looked at the rope bridge? Didn't do anything else? For example, who did you see? What happened?"

I met Concubine Jing...and Gu Jiao by chance.

Prince An's hand buried under his wide sleeves grabbed the hem of his clothes without a trace: "He walked around the temple and didn't meet anyone."

Mrs. Zhuang stroked his beard and said thoughtfully, "This is strange. Could it be that he really went to check the rope bridge?"

The King of Anjun lowered his eyes.

Quietly did not answer.

For the first time in his life, he lied to his grandfather.

King An has always been obedient. He sent him to Chen State as a hostage when he was eight years old. He never complained, and he worked hard for the family all these years. Mrs. Zhuang did not suspect that he was lying for a while.

Mrs. Zhuang waved his hand: "Go down, Old Marquis Gu is very alert. If you follow him once today, I'm afraid he will already find out. Next time you don't go, I will change someone."

"Yes."

King Anjun bowed and walked out of the flower hall.

"elder brother!"

When passing the hanging flower gate, Zhuang Yuexi suddenly came out from behind the big tree.

King An looked at her, then looked back at the flower hall, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Zhuang Yuexi's beautiful eyes are all his: "I'm waiting for my brother."

"I'm tired, so I'll go back to the yard first." Prince An said exhausted both physically and mentally, and then passed Zhuang Yuexi.

Zhuang Yuexi's eyes followed him, and he stepped forward and said, "Why doesn't my brother tell the truth?"

King Anjun paused for a while and looked back at her vigilantly.

Zhuang Yuexi was aggrieved and puzzled and said, "Brother clearly saw the old marquis and..."

"Shut up!" King Anjun's stern voice was more than Zhuang Yuexi.

Zhuang Yuexi was taken aback.

Prince An is a beautiful young man who is as gentle as jade, and he has an innate tenderness and education in his bones.

He seldom speaks so bluntly.

"You're following me?" He looked cold.

Such a Prince An is undoubtedly unfamiliar, but in fact, this is the real him, the one who survived the countless conspiracies and tricks of the Chen country.

"I don't have it." Zhuang Yuexi was frightened by such An Junwang, and shook his head hurriedly, "There is no class in the girls' school today, Meng Die asked me to go to incense, and if I don't believe my brother, go ask her."

"She saw it too?"

"She didn't."

Zhuang Mengdie, that straw bag, only cares about worshipping Buddha and eating vegetarian food.

"If you want to tell grandfather, just go." Prince An said tiredly, and left without looking back.

Zhuang Yuexi's heart aches.

She wouldn't tell her grandfather.

How could she be willing to let her grandfather punish her brother?

She just didn't understand why her brother wanted to hide it? Afraid of causing trouble for that woman?

It was her, it was she who changed my brother.

The older brother started lying to his grandfather, started to murder her, and started not like the older brother.

It's all because of that woman!

Zhuang Yuexi's fingers tightened little by little. “€?br /\u003e

The old man was finally punished by the emperor.

The emperor's punishment was quite heavy. Although the old marquis hit him unintentionally, he almost hit the little genius doctor on purpose.

It was precisely because the emperor felt the pain of the whip that he could vividly imagine what would happen if he hit the little genius doctor.

Xuanping Hou was also punished.

The old Marquis and the Marquis of Xuanping were both military generals, and whipping them was the same as tickling them, so the emperor punished them for copying military books.

Punishing a military general for copying a book is the same as punishing a civil servant for playing a board.

The old marquis knelt in the side hall of the Golden Palace, looking at a table of military books and writing brushes, his head was big!

Xuanping Hou threw the brush on the table without any hesitation.

Copy the dog eggs!

Go find your son!
