Gu Yongxiu went to the Duan family for a banquet to congratulate Cao Xiwan for entering the palace. Liu Ruhai found out in a blink of an eye.
"General Manager, the Ashthorn Priest has returned home."
Hui Xi returned to Prince Zhou's Mansion and brought back his new disciple Lou Xiliu. He taught her from the beginning and asked her to practice the first part of the Biying Heart Technique in three months.
Since Liu Ruhai was now the chief historian of the palace, Hui Xi informed Liu Ruhai about the matter and wanted to give Lou Xiliu a badge to enter and leave the Zhou palace.
After hearing the news, Liu Ruhai sent the young eunuch to deliver the palace badge. He just smiled and sat under the locust tree in the courtyard, looking back at eunuch He who followed him in the Zhou palace: "Lou Xiliu... the sooner she gets the puppet formation, the better."
The sooner Song Chengming will be on the road to death."
"What the manager means..."
"Mrs. Lou is about to give birth to her baby."
If the child is a legitimate son, it is easy to say whether he has a husband named Nankang Hou.
According to Liu Ruhai, there was only one reason why Song Chengming didn't care that Feng Junqing and Lou Shuluan secretly exchanged letters.
Eunuch He thought about it and was stunned and couldn't believe it: "What does the manager mean?"
Are Lou Shuluan and Feng Junqing of the same blood? First cousins or cousins? But General Zhenxi’s surname is Lou, and the general’s wife is also not from the Nanyu clan of Duke Liang. What is the relationship between them?
"I have no evidence, it's just speculation. Feng Junqing seems to be very affectionate towards his sisters. Once Lou Shuluan secures her position as First Class Marquis, I'm afraid Feng Junqing won't wait any longer."
When he said this, Liu Ruhai was riding his horse slowly down the street. He left the Prince of Zhou's Mansion, and there was a light rain of apricot blossoms on the Qinhuai River, and the clear waves were sparkling. He passed by his own Liu Ji's shop, and deliberately dismounted and went into the shop to look at the accounts.
He comes every few days now.
Is this damn eunuch guarding her? Cao Xiwan wondered. She did plan that if Liu Xiaozi was chased and killed by the Marquis, all his capital would belong to her. Isn't that what a scapegoat is?
Unfortunately, this matter has disappeared.
Cao Xiwan walked out of the closet. She ignored Liu Ruhai and looked at Eunuch He left and right. Eunuch He was covered in cold sweat and wondered if she recognized him as someone who had escaped from the elephant room.
The eunuch in charge?
The elephant room had been cleaned up from the inside out by Nankang Marquis. Cao Xiwan knew it, but Jinyi Yamen didn't catch any useful spies. She had long speculated that the real spies had left early, and might have followed her.
Liu Ruhai entered Prince Zhou's Mansion.
There was no need for her to report this matter to the Marquis.
Prince Zhou's Mansion is full of secrets of Jin Yiwei inside and outside. Naturally, the Marquis has his own news. At least, Liu Xiaozi can no longer live in Nankang Marquis' Mansion.
"What did your Majesty say when he saw you?" She turned around and asked Liu Ruhai. Your Majesty is really a fool.
"Your Majesty didn't say anything." Liu Ruhai didn't hide anything. He looked at the account book while eating tea and responded casually, "At that time, military intelligence came, saying that Duke Li had defeated King Zhao's army by the Yellow River and had marched towards Yanjing City.
Your Majesty asked Prince Zhou and Prince Tang to listen nearby. I just happened to meet you."
"..." She thought, Your Majesty, do you mean to kill the chicken and show it to the monkey?
"Is Your Majesty going to surrender again?" she asked.
"When Li Guogong arrives at Yanjing City and besieges the city, he will surrender first. After all, King Zhao is your Majesty's uncle. Your Majesty governs the world with filial piety and must not act without etiquette."
She rolled her eyes, sat on a chair in the shop, and sunbathed in a daze as usual. After half an hour, the sun slanted across her chair. She felt that she had regained her energy today, no need to use her brain, and she was in great health.
. When she turned around, she saw Liu Ruhai still sitting on the side, facing her from a few distances away. She secretly cursed this guy for how long it would take to check the accounts? Did he think she would swallow the money?
Impossible, she is a very particular person. Only if he is convicted of being a traitor, and in order to prevent the shop from being confiscated, will she directly swallow his penis. Otherwise, will the shop be turned into a public property of the imperial court? Except for her
, as well as the share capital of many colleagues in the yamen.
She held her chin and looked at the sun shining on him. He occasionally raised his eyes to glance at her, and she asked: "By the way, where is Xiao Chu?"
"In Prince Zhou's Mansion. Do you want to see her?" Liu Ruhai glanced at her.
"No, no, no." She refused decisively, "You can instruct her to help you bully people. She likes to bully people the most. Let her fight a few times and go to Xie Huo'er, and I will bring her back."
Listening to this, Liu Ruhai always felt that she regarded him as Feng Xiaochu's nanny.
"Puppet, he has no sense, especially when he is just cured, doesn't he act like a child? I don't like taking care of children."
"..." Are you really smart? Do you want me to praise you? Liu Ruhai glared at her angrily. She smiled sinisterly, and glanced at Liu Ruhai's accounts and dividends. It was a pity that this kid would not die for the time being, his dividends were very
Rich. She immediately said cautiously: "I am about to enter the palace, do you want to congratulate me?"
"...I don't have any money." He slowly and carefully rolled up the bonus notes, stuffed them into his sleeve pocket gracefully, stood up, and smiled apologetically at her, "My hands are tight."
"..." You are now very good at telling lies with your eyes open.
Eunuch He winked at Manager Liu, and the female ghost Qingluo reached out for money. Isn't this a good thing?
But Liu Ruhai pretended not to see it. She just wanted the red envelope, not to join the prince. He would not give her even a single copper.
If he still thinks that he can buy her with money, then he deserves to die.
Eunuch He could only follow Liu Ruhai and left Liu Ji's shop. Eunuch He wiped the cold sweat on the horse. He always felt that Cao Xiwan was looking at her coldly and had some evil intentions. Moreover, he had doubts in his heart and couldn't help asking.
: "Manager, what's the matter with the puppet?"
"The person who really takes the lead in training the puppets is actually another person among the Seven Demons of Tianshan. He is still in retreat."
Eunuch He suddenly realized that no wonder Marquis Nankang did not stop Manager Liu from curing the puppet and seemed to be optimistic about the success.
"General Manager, maybe the Marquis of Nankang is on guard against the high-ranking officials in the palace and the princes' palaces?"
"Yes, there is Empress Song in the palace, and the princes... He can get rid of Prince Qin and his son first." Liu Ruhai smiled. Otherwise, why would he marry General Zhenxi?
——It’s still unclear who will win.
"There is a female ghost named Qingluo here..." Eunuch He thought for a while and looked back at Liuji's shop. He always felt that her sinister eyes behind him were creepy.
"She has officially left her country. She is no longer a slave of the Hou Mansion." Liu Ruhai smiled and looked at his uneasy confidants, "What are you afraid of? The world's surname is Li, not Cao. How can she still act beyond His Majesty? If His Majesty is
How about shaking hands with the prince and making peace with him? Besides, the Song family is your majesty's in-laws. She is not. Do you think she believes in the Confucian concept of a direct eldest monarch?"
"...You shouldn't believe it." Eunuch He felt from the bottom of his heart that Cao Xiwan believed that the capital was her territory and that she had the final say.
"Your Majesty didn't say he wanted to kill King Zhou, so you don't have to worry. I was tolerant and polite to her in every way. She has no personal grudge against me."
Eunuch He thought to himself, then she just asked for a congratulatory gift from the manager, but the manager refused. How could she be patient and polite?
Liu Ruhai thought carefully on her horse. She would seize the opportunity. Seeing that the situation in the capital was unstable, she still left her parents in the Marquis' mansion. She should know that the Marquis of Nankang was eager to do this.
He rode past a paper shop, stopped suddenly, and pointed: "Buy a greeting note and a box."
Eunuch He quickly dismounted, went into the store and picked out the congratulatory sticker pointed out by the manager. The sticker was elegant and elegant.
——Is this a note ready to be written to congratulate her on entering the East Palace?
