Chapter 291 Dugu Mingyue
...
"Hmm..." Dugu Yihe snorted lightly.
"Master..." The butler Ah Fu bowed beside him and hesitated to speak. After thinking about it for several times, he still asked a question:
"Nowadays, the situation in the harem is complicated. For the sake of a...little eunuch...we have exposed part of our power and eliminated a chief eunuch...
And behind this big manager...eh, is it worth it?"
"Not worth it."
Dugu Yihe put his legs on the chair. Now he and the old housekeeper are the only ones left in the hall. He can sit as he pleases and sit as he wants:
"But he will definitely be worth it in the future.
He played a major role in Mingyue's favor. Even Liu Mei'er, the granddaughter of the old fox Liu Zhe's family, was also favored. It is said that the emperor listened to some of his suggestions!
Have you ever seen an emperor take the advice of a young eunuch?
Even the emperor may not accept the suggestions sometimes given by the three ministers and nine ministers. What does this mean?"
"Does it mean that the emperor values him very much?" The old housekeeper's old eyes widened.
"Yes, this is one of them, because the situation in the harem is complicated and the power of a group of people is sometimes not as clean and effective as the power of one person."
Dugu Yihe smiled, slightly wildly, whether because of his appreciation for Zhao Wujiang or because he was proud of his own judgment.
"Over the years, there have been countless eunuchs in the harem, but only Zhao Wujiang has been so close to the emperor..."
Dugu Yihe slapped his mouth:
"Full."
The old butler Ah Fu respectfully poured a full glass of wine for Dugu Yihe.
Dugu Yihe drank it all in one gulp:
"Fill it up again.
The second is his behavior. He doesn't show his joy and anger when he encounters villains' harsh words. This is called measure and measure!
Not showing timidity in the face of danger is called courage, so courageous!
Gaining profits and chasing more profits is called greed.
Being greedy is a bad thing, being greedy is a good thing!
Because he understands, understands his current weakness, understands his current shallow foundation, in order to accumulate foundation, he has to be greedy, he must be greedy!
He can assess the situation, he can observe words and deeds, he is measured, courageous, and understands greed. Such a person will definitely reach a high position in the future!"
The old butler Ah Fu had froze on the spot, his heart trembling. He had been serving the master for a long time, and he had never heard the master speak so highly of a young man.
"Master...Master, is he worthy of belief?"
Ah Fu asked again.
"Zhao Shou's great-nephew... has a clean financial background and is trustworthy... but as to how trustworthy he is... we need to further examine him."
Dugu Yihe pushed the wine master on the table down, and his tone was domineering:
"The emperor is willing to favor Mingyue and expresses his acceptance of the Dugu family, but the incident in the north has made the emperor suspicious of our Dugu family.
The truth about this matter in the North, let him be exposed to the light of day...
I just don’t know if some evil people can hide..."
Is the master finally ready to take action... The old housekeeper Ah Fu trembled in his heart and bowed back:
"Master, Afu will go and prepare now."
...
On the carriage.
"Eunuch Zhao, there are envoys from other countries passing by in front, and people from Honglu Temple are escorting us. I'm afraid we have to wait for a break before we can pass." The apologetic voice of the driver and the noisy discussion of the people came from outside the carriage.
"It doesn't matter."
Zhao Wujiang slowly folded the envelope and calmed down his mind. He opened the car curtain on the side and looked out.
The official road was surrounded by people on both sides, and he could only see a group of people walking slowly on the official road through the peripheral vision of the gap.
Two snow-white camels carried a float, and the driver was a man from the Western Regions wearing a fur hat and Hu costume.
Escorting the carriage were four sturdy men, with bare breasts and long and narrow scimitars hanging from their waists.
The team from Honglu Temple led the way, while these five people and two white camels walked slowly behind.
When Zhao Wujiang opened the curtain and took a closer look, the camel bells jingled, and the curtain of the float was opened. A delicate hand was stretched out, and then a head was poked out, with a face that could be broken by a blow.
An unparalleled appearance.
"Wow, look, look, is this their princess?"
"Hu Ji is stunning, don't deceive me!"
"No wonder the late emperor wanted to conquer the west..."
"..."
The people who were lucky enough to see his appearance burst into exclamations of exclamation.
The noise did not drown out Zhao Wujiang, his eyes were fixed on the face of the person in front.
It was a face covered with gauze, only revealing her beautiful eyes and half of the bridge of her nose, and you could get a glimpse of her stunning appearance.
His watery eyes, clean and clear, innocent and mixed with curiosity, looked at Zhao Wujiang.
The two people looked at each other, and the person on the float flashed his eyes and greeted Zhao Wujiang: "Hello."
The Daxia dialect mixed with the accent of the Western Regions is lively and sweet.
Is what the Minister of Honglu Temple wants to tell Dugu Yihe about the Western Regions mission coming to Xia?
Zhao Wujiang lowered the car curtain and blocked his gaze.
The people on the other side's float seemed to snort unhappily, and then they lowered the curtains and walked towards Honglu Temple amidst the noise of the people.
...
In the imperial city, Zhao Wujiang, who had returned, folded his hands in his sleeves and walked leisurely on the palace road.
Turning east and west, deep into the harem.
When he was about to enter the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, a figure in green attire waved to him on the side of the road: "Xiao Zhaozi!"
Zhao Wujiang smiled warmly, went up to meet the beauty, and took advantage of the situation to wrap his arms around the beauty who was trotting over:
"Sister Qing'er..."
"Humph." Qing'er swatted away Zhao Wujiang's restless hand and said angrily: "I have been waiting for you for a long time, and the queen is looking for you."
"Then I kept you waiting for a long time..." Zhao Wujiang smiled. The Qing'er in front of him had a special kind of beauty when she was angry. The light blue palace skirt restrained her plump figure that was inconsistent with her age, and her outline was particularly exquisite.
.
The two of them laughed and joked all the way, and Qing'er was taken advantage of by Zhao Wujiang from time to time, and Qing'er let out a sweet cry.
Soon they arrived at Queen Dugu Mingyue's Qifeng Palace. The two announced, opened the door and entered.
"Xiao Zhaozi, please see your empress." Zhao Wujiang bowed slightly.
In the small courtyard of Qifeng Palace, Dugu Mingyue sat at the stone table with her cheeks in her hands. When she saw the visitor, she smiled:
"We are not outsiders, sit down."
Zhao Wujiang took advantage of the situation and sat on the stone bench nearby. There were many pastries and fruits on the table, but his eyes were immediately attracted by the plumpness of Dugu Mingyue's chest.
Because she was holding her fragrant cheeks, Dugu Mingyue placed the pair of human weapons on the table, which was pleasing to the eye.
"Zhao Wujiang, the person you want is in the side room."
Dugu Mingyue was a little absent-minded. Her mind was full of what she should do to attract the emperor more. What should she wear?
Still not wearing it?
Or is it empty inside?
"Ms. Xie, has he revealed how he plotted to kill my third uncle?"
Zhao Wujiang lowered his head slightly, his tone solemn.
Dugu Mingyue's beautiful face revealed a hint of thought, pursed her red lips and shook her head:
"When the family took him down, they were a bit heavy-handed. He passed out and passed away. I guess he hasn't woken up yet..."
Zhao Wujiang nodded, stood up and walked towards the side room.
Pushing the door open, there was no light in the room, and a fat silhouette lay on the ground.
Zhao Wujiang closed the door with his backhand and inserted the wooden bolt. All the daylight disappeared and the room returned to darkness. He blew out the fire stick in his hand and walked step by step towards the black figure lying on the ground with the faint light.
Zhao Wujiang squatted down and found that the hands and feet of the eunuch chief Chen Zhenghua were restrained. Perhaps the people who captured Chen Zhenghua were afraid that he would escape, so they thoughtfully broke the joints of his legs and feet.
A cold light flashed, and a dagger was pulled out by Zhao Wujiang. His eyes were cold and he thrust it down hard. The dagger instantly penetrated the thigh of the chief eunuch. The flesh and blood turned up and blood surged. He held the dagger and turned it expressionlessly.
.
"ah!!!"
Severe colic woke up the sleepy Chen Zhenghua. He suddenly opened his eyes. In the faint firelight, he saw a pair of eyes that were indifferent to all living things, and heard a cold voice like Yama:
Chapter completed!
