Chapter 172: Like Her

Aunt Gu helped Gu Yunyao sit up, leaned against the bed, and set up a small table.

Fragrant rice porridge, a few plates of refreshing side dishes, and a few round pancakes.

Gu Yunyao was really hungry. She was too painful to eat before, but now the pain subsided and her appetite improved.

"Thank you, mama."

"No need to thank me, old slave. This porridge was cooked by our ancestors, and this cake was made by your highness."

Gu Yunyao made a move: "Did the prince do it?"

"After working in the kitchen for a long time, the old slave asked me to help, but he refused. He also said it was called cooking cakes." Aunt Gu couldn't help laughing. "Actually, no matter what it is called, the old slave also lived a hard life in the countryside when he was young. , if the cake is made like this and sold, wouldn’t it be a huge loss?”

Gu Yunyao felt warm in her heart as she slowly bit into pieces, thinking about the way Shen Munan rolled up her sleeves and made cakes, which was both contradictory and warm.

"Where is the prince?"

"I was called away by the Chunni guards, saying that I was going to the Qintian Prison. I also told the old slave to take good care of you and wait for him to come back."

Qin Tian Jian? Isn’t that a place where you can read the stars and tell the days?

The guards at Qin Tian Prison were trembling with fear and did not dare to breathe.

Shen Munan sat and flipped through a few astrology books at random: "No good days? Is this the result you calculated and the answer you gave me?"

"Your Majesty knows it well, and I don't dare to speak nonsense," Jian Zheng said with his head down, "Both the prince and the county master have very good horoscopes, but because of this, they have to find a good life that matches them very well.

These good horoscopes and good days are all arranged by God and cannot be controlled by lower officials."

Shen Munan's face was expressionless, and he could not tell whether he was happy or angry. His voice while turning the pages of the book was very soft, but it was still clear in the comforting hall.

"The other thing is..." Jian Zheng closed his eyes hard and took the risk, "The Crown Princess is pregnant, the Ziwei star is bright, and the other stars have no light.

I am also thinking about the prince, if it is a big wedding, I am afraid it will conflict with the purple star."

"Yeah," Shen Munan hummed slowly through his nose.

The prisoner swallowed his saliva, and cold sweat rolled down his back silently.

It wasn't until Shen Munan left that he exhaled heavily and fell down on the chair.

Even if there was any other way, he wouldn't want to confront this evil star.

Calm your mind and write down the matter about Ziweixing. This matter must be reported to the emperor as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Shen Munan has other ideas, he will be unable to stop it and the East Palace will blame him, but he cannot afford to suffer.

I had just finished writing it and was about to submit it in person when I suddenly felt a throbbing pain in my heart.

Deputy Superintendent Zheng hurriedly came over to help him: "Superintendent Zheng, are you okay?"

Jian Zheng's face was as pale as paper, and his premonition was getting worse. He forced himself to put the folded paper into a paper bag: "Brother, you and I have worked together for many years, and I have always trusted you the most."

The deputy superintendent spoke solemnly: "I will never forget your kindness to me."

"Okay, I have something important to entrust to you."



Shen Munan did not return to the residence of the Empress Dowager, but walked slowly with Chunni, and before she knew it, she arrived at an abandoned palace courtyard.

The front door was locked, and even the dead grass on the wall was silent.

The sky was gloomy, not even a single person could be seen, it seemed like we had reached the end of the world.

Shen Munan stood in front of the main door for a moment, then walked around to the small side door and pushed it open.

Sitting in the hall, Chunni wanted to hold the lamp, but Shen Munan waved his hand and said: "No, you go outside and bring people in when they arrive."

"yes."

Shen Munan sat alone, the darkness making his mind clearer and calmer.

The past is still vivid in my mind, my mother and concubine died here.

He also knew it clearly.

"Concubine, my son will definitely find out and avenge you."

"Don't worry, my son is fine. It was Ayao who saved him. She is a good girl, different from others."

"My son likes her very much."

Unknowingly, his murmurs were tinged with warmth.

Light footsteps outside the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Your Majesty, we've arrived."

The visitor quickly entered the room, and Shen Munan's silhouette was vaguely visible. He didn't dare to raise his head and take a closer look. He took a few steps forward and handed something to him with both hands.

Shen Munan took it and opened it, taking a closer look, his features were full of mockery.

"Jian Zheng really spared no effort to oppose this king."

The deputy superintendent was asking: "Your Majesty, do you want to replace this report or withhold it directly?"

He had already imitated Jian Zheng's handwriting so perfectly that even Jian Zheng himself could not distinguish it.

"Withhold it and pretend he never wrote it."

"yes."

"Go back. If he asks, just say everything is done." Shen Munan threw the report on the table casually, "Go back and prepare to take over the post of supervisor."

"yes."

The deputy supervisor was leaving quietly, and Chunni returned to the palace: "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Shen Munan lit the report, and the firelight reflected his eyes as dark as night: "Do it."

That night, after dinner at the Queen Mother's Palace, Gu Yunyao walked around a few times to prove that she was indeed well, and the Queen Mother allowed her to leave.

Shen Munan took her out of the palace, and the carriage was walking on the palace road. Within a day, Gu Yunyao actually felt like she was in another world.

The people in front of the door had already retreated, and Mrs. Pei also left with the people in the palace. Mrs. An Bohou was invited into the palace in the afternoon.

"The common people went to Jingzhao Mansion to submit the petition. The Pei family received the Dao'en decree. They treated Mr. Pei well and allowed him to choose among the six tribes.

The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is already old, and among the several doctors of the Ministry of Personnel, Dr. Pei is actually in a weak position. This time, he should have the greatest chance of taking over the post of Minister."

Gu Yunyao put down the car curtain and hummed softly: "I think the Pei family's parents would rather not have the post of six ministers or the position of minister. They just want their son to be safe and secure."

"That's true, but what has happened is irreversible," Shen Munan lowered his voice, "Let's wait and see."

Gu Yunyao shook her head lightly. She did not think that Mrs. Pei was a pushover. Although they only met briefly, she could feel that Mrs. Pei was smart and perseverant.

While I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a commotion outside.

The speed of the carriage also slowed down.

Gu Yunyao was puzzled. She picked up the car curtain and looked out the window. She was already on the busy street. The weather was bad today and there were not many people in the night market.

I don't know what kind of store it is in front of. There are several lanterns hanging in front of the door. The style of the lanterns is very unique. Anyway, this is the first time she has seen it.

The lanterns shone brightly in front of the door, and several men in colorful brocade robes stood out in the halo.

They all looked around, and saw someone running out of the store next to them with a crackling sound.

The key is that this man was naked and without any clothes, and the house behind him was smoking and making constant explosions.

"Ah, ah!" Another person ran out.

Also naked.

Pedestrians on the road also stopped and stared in shock and interest.

Gu Yunyao also widened her eyes and wanted to stick her head out to take a closer look.

It's not easy to come across this kind of shocking excitement.

Before she could see clearly, Shen Munan pulled her back.

"Hey, I..."

"What's so good about this?" Shen Munan knocked on the car wall.

Chunni quickly turned around and stopped at the intersection.

"You don't have to watch some of the excitement, you can also listen to it."

Gu Yunyao: "..."

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, it was as noisy as a frying pan.
