Ming Chongjin was silent: "I dare not compare myself with the Commander-in-Chief because of my humble position."
Although both of them are commanders, with different responsibilities, and there is no distinction between high and low in their positions, Shadow Pavilion is recognized as terrifying. Anyone in the civil and military dynasty who has some control over it, who would not be afraid of it?
If the water is clear, there will be no fish.
Few officials dare to pat their chests and say that they have never made any mistakes. Whether it is greed for money or lust, there are always some misbehaviors. These small mistakes are not noticeable in ordinary times.
, anyone can commit it, and the emperor will turn a blind eye.
Shadow Pavilion naturally knows better.
On weekdays, when nothing happens, they can just turn a blind eye like the emperor. However, once any official offends the emperor without hesitation, the Shadow Pavilion will be able to bring down the eighteen generations of his ancestors within a day.
.
There are now rumors in the court that Sicang has evil thoughts about the Ninth Princess. So, is it possible to think that as long as someone offends the Ninth Princess, the Shadow Pavilion can also target that person?
Ming Chongjin was thinking in his heart when the girl's cold voice sounded in his ears.
"Commander Ming, please go back to the palace for business." Yun Zishu said, "You can say whatever you want. I don't mind getting into trouble."
Ming Chongjin came back to his senses, bowed and saluted with neither humility nor arrogance: "I resign from my humble position."
After he left, Yun Zishu didn't even have time to drink a cup of tea when she saw the housekeeper, Grandma, running over in a hurry. She knelt down as she entered the courtyard and said, "Your Royal Highness."
Yun Zishu frowned: "What's wrong?"
"Your Highness, Princess." The stewardess raised her eyes, with a somewhat indescribable expression on her face, "Over there in the backyard kitchen... ahem, something happened."
Yun Zishu raised her eyebrows: "Leng Yue, go and have a look."
"yes."
Leng Yue walked quickly down the stone steps in front of the court, "Mom, please take me to have a look."
The housekeeper took Leng Yue to the direction of the kitchen. Yun Zishu watched the two people walking away with her eyebrows furrowed: "With Xiao Yunheng and Li Xue in the house, it may not be that easy to calm down. Things happen every day outside the house.
"More, I have hardly been idle recently. I should take a good rest for a few days to recharge my batteries."
Si Cang hummed: "Your Highness, are you tired?"
"It's not that I'm not tired, it's just that I feel upset when I think about those people."
But she still has to deal with people. After all, she has something she wants to do, and she needs to deal with people step by step, plan, calculate, and even win over some available people.
If you gain something, you will lose something. There is nothing you can do about it.
Sicang walked quietly behind Yun Zishu, raised his hand and gently pressed her temples, and said in a low and steady voice: "Your Highness is still young, so there is no need to rush into many things. Rest when you need to rest, and just plan slowly."
After all, there are still many things to do in the future, so we can’t rush.
Yun Zishu didn't say anything. Feeling the strength on Sicang's fingers, she closed her eyes for a moment and said, "Your technique is really good."
Sicang's lips slightly raised: "If Your Highness likes it, I will give His Highness the thumbs-up every day after taking up my humble position."
Hearing this, Yun Zishu was about to speak when Leng Yue walked quickly outside the window, her expression carrying an indescribable complexity and subtlety.
"Your Highness." She walked into the palace and looked at Yun Zishu, hesitating to speak, "something big has happened."
event?
Yun Zishu slowly sat up straight and frowned: "What happened?"
Leng Yue coughed lightly: "The Xiao family's wife and Chef Fu in the kitchen..."
Her implication was so obvious that she almost didn't need to say it clearly.
Yun Zishu frowned and her expression gradually faded: "Is there an improper relationship?"
"yes."
"Where now?"
"At Chef Fu's residence."
Yun Zishu narrowed her eyes: "When did it start?"
"My subordinates carefully asked the cooks, and they said that there were signs the day before yesterday." Leng Yue replied, "Mrs. Xi secretly tested Chef Fu the day before yesterday. Chef Fu has a tigress in his family. Have you ever seen Xi?
How could such a delicate beauty like Madam offer herself up? She couldn't hold it back for a moment, and the two of them rolled into each other last night."
Yun Zishu breathed a sigh of relief. She was really surprised. Li Xue loved Xiao Yunheng so much that she had only been in the house for a few days and she started to have restless thoughts?
"As a reward for enjoying the beauty's kindness, the food at Qingchenju has been much better in the past two days." Leng Yue couldn't help coughing again, with a faint hint of weirdness on her face, "Chef Fu gave it to them last night
A whole roasted chicken is great for lunch today, four dishes and two soups, all top-quality dishes, honey-glazed squab, steamed fish, secret crispy shrimp, and a five-spice beef dish... Oh, by the way, this morning
Mrs. Side also ate a bowl of bird's nest."
Yun Zishu raised her hand to rest her forehead: "You said that for this little food, if I mobilized troops to arrest them all and question them, wouldn't it be ridiculous?"
Leng Yue nodded: "It's true that I can't do anything about it."
"But I just watch the people in the house mess around?"
"Of course not." Leng Yue shook her head, the smile on her lips was a bit cunning, "So, what your Highness means is..."
"Let Xiao Yunheng go first and let him see with his own eyes how Li Xue loves him." Yun Zishu smiled casually, "This matter is not worthy of my intervention. Let them keep it to themselves."
Didn't Xiao Yunheng love Li Xue to death before? Their love was deeper than Jin Jian, and their love was deeper than Jin Jian. Now she wanted to see what Xiao Yunheng would do to fall in love with his good cousin after being cuckolded on the spot.
Leng Yue responded respectfully: "My subordinate will go immediately."
So Leng Yue turned around and left again.
Yun Zishu stared out the window for a long time: "Sicang."
"exist."
"Hard times can really make people give up their principles and become unscrupulous, even ignoring their reputation and bottom line?"
"It can only be said that she is too greedy and cannot stand the test." Sicang said, "Ordinary people live a much harder life than they do. No one will sacrifice their body for a bite of food."
Although during this period, due to Xiao Yunheng's injury, the food in Qingchenju was indeed not rich, it was not much worse than ordinary people. What's more, Li Xue occasionally used private money to exchange some meat dishes to improve the food.
I had a hard time.
All women in the world regard reputation as more important than life.
Unless those women in brothels make a living from this, this is the most basic bottom line issue for a woman. If she encounters a husband with a bad temper and cruel methods, Li Xue can definitely be caught and filled with wells or beaten to death if she does such a thing.
However, Li Xue is Xiao Yunheng's cousin and Mrs. Xiao's niece. No one else has the right to comment on how to deal with this situation. It's better to leave it to Xiao Yunheng to handle it himself.
Thinking of this, Yun Zishu couldn't help but rub her eyebrows again: "It seems that I still overestimated Li Xue."
I thought that a few days of shabby life would only affect the relationship between them and deepen their complaints and dissatisfaction. I didn't expect that Li Xue could do such an outrageous thing. She really didn't know what to say.
However, Yun Zishu immediately thought that something like this happened to Li Xue in her house, and it would obviously not be appropriate to continue to keep Xiao Yunheng in her house.
After a moment of silence, Yun Zishu said: "When this matter is over, let Xiao Yunheng leave the princess mansion."
Si Cang was silent for a moment, feeling inexplicably happy.
"Take the divorce letter and his wife and leave together." Yun Zishu raised her hand to support her chin, "But we can't just let him go for nothing. We can ask the Xiao family for money to redeem him, and we can still make a profit.
A pen of silver."
Si Cang raised his lips slightly and said, "Your Highness, this is a good idea."
"I still owe Yubao Pavilion 10,000 taels of gold. I have to find a way to pay it back." Yun Zishu frowned lightly, "It would be best to let Xiao Yuanting come up with 10,000 taels of gold to redeem me."
Sicang lowered his eyes slightly, Jin Gui's stern eyebrows were calm, making it impossible to see the color in his eyes.
