Concubine's poisonous plot

Shu Yunzhao glanced at him and understood in his heart that over the years, he had experienced physical and mental pain and hardship that others might not have experienced in several lifetimes, and it happened every day, for so many years.

It's a miracle that he didn't become a pervert or have a mental defect due to illness.

"Well, that's true. Some self-righteous old people will destroy the cornerstone of harmony in the family. Once relatives turn against each other, they will become more enemies than enemies."

Xiao Jinyao asked: "Is it like your relationship with the Su family?"

"Originally, after I severed ties with them, it was just fine for us to stop communicating with each other. However, they kept trying to provoke me. They must treat me as an enemy, not a stranger. This kind of thing is not like being a friend. It requires the consensus of both parties. They just If someone hates me and wants me dead, this hatred has already been established. It just so happens that I am not the kind of person who just sits back and waits for death."

Shu Yunzhao's answer was exactly what Xiao Jinyao thought.

On the afternoon of the day Cui Shi entered the palace, the appointment of Wang Xi also came down. He did not touch the Ministry of War at all, but became the Minister of Rites. After all, he was the only son of the emperor at that time, so he should be qualified in this regard.

Although he was also the Minister, Wang? was not very happy. Compared with the three departments of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of War, which had real power, he felt that the Ministry of Rites had wronged him a little.

But it's better than Tian Dekun, who is still in the position of Minister of War. From today on, he will be Cui Shi's subordinate.

Their younger sisters are also working as concubines in Prince An's Mansion. Over the years, the interactions between the Tian family and the Cui family have not been close. It can even be said that there has always been competition.

In this round, the Cui family obviously won.

The Tian family's reputation had already been affected by the incident at the calligraphy and painting shop. Now they have lost the position of minister, and they still lost to the Cui family. This kind of blow made Tian Dekun feel that his official career was difficult.

I heard that Cui Shi and his wife went to Prince An's Mansion that afternoon to visit his sister.

King An not only accompanied him personally, but also specially arranged a sumptuous dinner.

This news reached the Tian family, making Tian Dekun even more uncomfortable.

"Master, what's going on?" Mrs. Tian asked.

Tian Dekun was sighing just now. He was about to go to bed at night, but he still couldn't calm down his mood.

"It's uncomfortable... I lost to Cui Shi this time. I'm afraid Cui Concubine will step on my sister's head in the future..."

When Mrs. Tian heard this, she didn't take it very seriously: "Master, although we are indeed at a disadvantage in this matter, this may be the emperor's balance. There are only a few days until the Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet, and the Queen Mother is not As I said, do you want to help your sister straighten herself? We can't let our family take all the good things... At that time, King An will be our legitimate brother-in-law. Don't just look at the immediate interests. In life, we need to take a long-term view. Made a plan."

Mrs. Tian is much more open-minded, which can be seen from her figure.

Tian Dekun was convinced at that time: "It's Madam's opinion, but I didn't figure this out..."

Mrs. Tian helped him undress and said softly: "I have always been smart, but this time it is about official career and I am not objective enough for the moment. I have only followed the master for a long time before I thought of this."

After this kind of enlightenment, he could also praise the operation in turn, which really made Tian Dekun iron the clothes from the inside out. At that time, he was no longer depressed, and went to bed directly with Mrs. Tian in his arms.

The situation in Kyoto has changed, and for the people, it doesn't matter how they fight from above, as long as it doesn't affect their ability to eat enough every day and live a stable life.

After more than half a month of renovations, a lot of equipment has been delivered to the Sunset Red Nursing Home.

The selection of personnel is convenient, and Shu Yunzhao also strictly verifies the opponent's situation, and will never let anyone fish in troubled waters occupy any quota.

When the emperor ordered King An to personally welcome the Northern Jin envoys, the day of the Dragon Boat Festival Palace Banquet was coming soon.

This is also the most arduous task that the newly appointed King of Rites, the Minister of Rites, has received temporarily, and it also tests everything he has accumulated before. The person coming from the other side does not have such a high official position. In fact, he only needs to be greeted by the Minister of Rites in person.

The dispatch of King An was a sign of respect considering that the late princess was from the Northern Jin Dynasty.

King An himself was not very happy. The fascination he had for the dead princess had long been buried due to suspicion, leaving only disgust.

Xiao Jinyao didn't dare to ask for an errand. If his condition was not under control and he fell directly in front of his uncle, that would be worrying.

"The day is approaching for them to enter the city. The Su family has been very honest these days."

In the evening, after giving Xiao Jinyao acupuncture, Shu Yunzhao said.

Xiao Jinyao said: "They should be considered smart people, otherwise they would not be able to get to where they are today. They were just caught off guard by your rebelliousness. They were always in a mess before. Now that I know you, they will definitely not go back, let alone follow them." Lower your head, I have already accepted and adapted to this fact. Now that I have regained some sense, the only thing left is to seriously become your enemy..."

Shu Yunzhao highly recognized his analysis, especially the last sentence.

"Indeed, their broadmindedness only goes so far."

"There is new news from Luoxia..." Xiao Jinyao reminded.

"It was you who found it again, not what she sent back on her own initiative, right?" Shu Yunzhao asked.

Xiao Jinyao's expression showed that he was relaxed after acupuncture: "She has something in the hands of the Su family, so of course she will report it to them. The Luoyan she mentioned may actually still be near the location where she disappeared..."

Shu Yunzhao became interested: "Seriously? Didn't the people from the Su family search carefully before and found no traces?"

"Well, they have focused on a young man named Du. It is said that the man is only sixteen years old, but he is already a well-known figure. Because he is uneducated and has no skills, he is always fighting with others or on the way to fight... The government He is already a regular visitor there.”

Shu Yunzhao was stunned. From Xiao Jinyao's description, a sixteen-year-old young man seemed to be a delinquent.

"So, this young man is Luo Yan's son?"

Shu Yunzhao only thought of this possibility and nothing else.

Xiao Jinyao did not directly admit it: "There is no way to be sure yet. Anyway, the young man's life is not very good. His mother has always been a fool and cannot take care of herself. His father died early. He has to take care of his mother and find a way to eat at the same time." He had enough to eat, he was too young, and he had never read a book, so he could only find a way to do odd jobs. If someone laughed at him, he would fight with them..."

After hearing this, Shu Yunzhao decided at that time: "Even if his mother is not Luoyan, I will still help him. I like this character."

Xiao Jinyao also said: "I knew you would be like this. The Su family has sent people to check, and my people have also been dispatched... The purpose of the Su family is very simple. As long as Luoxia confirms that the person is indeed Luoyan, no matter what she does, Whether you have become stupid or not, just silence them."
