wealthy queen

"This man is really funny. He is a man, and he is a ghost. Don't you feel tired and panic?"

As soon as the emperor left, Xiao Muchen appeared shaking his folding fan. Together with him was Chu Li, who was obviously fishing in troubled waters and not doing his job properly: "Third brother, from his appearance, he seems to be trying to separate you and Liang Liang by means of shady means."

"What are you doing?"

The fan in Xiao Muchen's hand suddenly hit him on the head, and Chu Li protested dissatisfiedly. Xiao Muchen said angrily, "It doesn't seem like it will, but it definitely will. Since he didn't tear his face, he will definitely act as we expected. He appeared to be happy for the third brother, but he suffered such a big loss, how could he let it go? I'm afraid there will be endless tricks behind the scenes."

They were hiding in the dark before, and they could clearly see the viciousness hidden in his eyes. Not to mention that he is small-minded and not expected to be an emperor. Having been an emperor for more than ten years, he has long been used to being superior and domineering, how could he endure such a failure?To him, this is undoubtedly a naked insult.

"A bastard raised by a lowly court lady will not be able to stand on the stage after all."

Lao Lin interrupted suddenly, and everyone looked over at the same time. Seeing his uncomfortable face, they all held back his words. Compared with them, he resented the emperor and the queen mother even more. It will not end up being buried in the sea of ​​flames, and it will not still bear the stigma of conspiracy and rebellion.

"If he likes to play tricks, let him play. Let the soldiers come and cover up the water."

Pei Yuanlie, who was sitting on the head of the bed, narrowed his eyes slightly: "Tianshu, the people assigned to Yaoguang must pick the best ones, and make sure Liangliang is safe."

"Master, don't worry, the subordinates have already made arrangements."

If they can't even tell that the master really loves the princess and cherishes her like his life, then they have been with him for so many years in vain. There is no need for him to order this kind of thing, it's just...

"However, master, the Second Advent Courtyard is guarded by a dense network of ghost guards. Our people can't squeeze in at all, and they don't seem to allow us to set foot in their territory. Do you think you should discuss it with the princess?"

It's a bit embarrassing to say this, the Iron Armored Guard Anbu's people are already very good at hiding, but no matter where they hide, the Nether Dark Guard can accurately find and expel them, as if they really came from the Netherworld Like ghosts, everywhere!

"Forget it inside the Hou's mansion. With the dark guards around, there shouldn't be any accidents. You just stay outside the Hou's mansion and wait for orders. Once Liangliang leaves the Hou's mansion, follow up immediately. If the dark guards block you again, it will be a waste of time. Wang personally went to talk to Liangliang."

He didn't doubt the ability of the Netherworld Guard, but if he didn't have his own people following him, he couldn't rest assured anyway.

"Yes."

He said so, Tianshu could only obey.

"How's the situation in Moon City?"

The matter here can almost come to an end. Pei Yuanlie asked about Moon City again. He was injured that day, and the armored guards seemed to have withdrawn. In fact, most of the troops still stayed in Moon City and its downstream cities. Under the leadership of Tianji, they have spent too much effort on this matter, how could they just give up?

"The embankment of Wangyue City is stable now. General Ling and Lord Jinghou are not people who steal and play tricks. If the rain is really like what the third sister-in-law said, it will last for a month, and it will only last for a few days. It should not be too late to hold on." However, disasters are still serious all over the country. Floods caused by heavy rainfall are just one of them. There are also landslides, mudslides and other disasters. It just so happened that some time ago, after Lord Jinghou and his son claimed to be sick and refused to raise food and grass, the Ministry of War had no choice but to mobilize The grain reserves in the cities in various places have just been sent to the northwest, and there is no surplus food to relieve the victims. In addition, the rain has flooded all the food and vegetables planted, and the prices in various places have skyrocketed. Now let alone the people affected by the disaster, even ordinary people can hardly get rid of it gone."

Xiao Muchen's face was full of helplessness. In such a critical moment, the old emperor didn't think about helping the people, but he was thinking about his third brother and his wife. It was undoubtedly even more chilling. If the people knew about it, they would all rise up and fight against each other. Overthrow the Great Qin Dynasty.

"The disaster is unavoidable. From this we can also see how important it is for us to stabilize the dam of Wangyue City. If the dam collapses again, the people will really have no way out."

Pei Yuanlie asked himself that he was not a kind-hearted person, but he was not happy to see the corpses of the people lying all over the field. Even the current Daqin was not his property.

"Who said no?"

Xiao Muchen and Chu Li looked at each other, and both sighed.

"How about the boss? Is there any news?"

"Yes, it doesn't rain at all over there. It is said that the weather is good. Maybe this year will be another bumper harvest year. Third brother, tell me why it is only in the territory of Qin that it rains continuously. Is it true that, as the outside world said, the Great Qin's vitality is exhausted? , God specially sent rain warning?"

This statement was not made up by Chu Li himself. Rumors of heavy rainfall for more than 20 days have spread among the people. Some people say that God is dissatisfied with the current emperor, which makes the Dragon God keep raining. Of course, among them It was also mixed with various rumors about the queen that Shen Liang deliberately let out. In short, the people are panicking now. If the rain doesn't stop, I'm afraid something big will happen.

"I said, what are you thinking about all day long? You're so confused, your books have been read into the dog's stomach?"

Xiao Muchen was completely speechless to him, and he dared to say such nonsense in front of the third brother.

"I heard it too, okay? Didn't I make it up myself?"

He is in charge of intelligence collection, so what happened to him casually?

"Whether it's a warning from the heavens or not, it's a good thing that the weather is going well with the boss. The next battle in the northwest will become more and more intense. The court may not be able to continue to provide sufficient food and grass. If it is not possible, let the second brother find the boss's points and resolve the battle as soon as possible. .”

"Well, I'll message my second brother later, third brother, do you want to talk about your marriage with Liangliang?"

Nodding, Chu Li cautiously asked for instructions. If the second child knew that the third brother was engaged to Shen Liang, he would probably be so angry that he would yell at him.In this way, it will be even more difficult for him to combine with Shen Da, as well as Shen Da's younger brother... Thinking about it gives me a headache.

"Say, why don't you tell? Don't tell me they still have to drag on the Northwest battlefield for several months. When can I marry Liangliang?"

Hearing this, Pei Yuanlie replied without even thinking about it. He didn't mind others knowing how eager he was to marry Shen Liang back. Xiao Muchen and Chu Li also covered their mouths and snickered politely. Tianshu and the others should restrain themselves. , all of them bowed their heads, but their shoulders were trembling faintly, it was not difficult to see how hard they were holding back.

"That's right, the prince is not Lao Lin. I want to say you. The Qi family is the first to rule the country and the world. The family doesn't manage the country and the world? Bring the princess back as soon as possible, and work hard to have more radishes." The head is the business."

This topic obviously suits Lao Lin's appetite. Seeing how serious he is, Pei Yuanlie and others couldn't help but hold their foreheads. Although they also wanted the princess to come in quickly, for some reason, these words came from Lao Lin's mouth , they always feel awkward.

Pei Yuanzheng was sure that his life would no longer be in danger, and the news that he would be able to recover after a while quickly spread to every corner of the imperial city. Some people gritted their teeth like the emperor and secretly hated him, while others sweated secretly for him. Worried, there are still people who are envious and jealous of the quasi-princess Shen Liang, and most of them are rejoicing. Fortunately, he escaped unharmed by making the first contribution in the Wangyue City incident. Most of these people are ordinary people.

Everyone's attention was on Pei Yuanlie's matter, and few people noticed the review progress of the scientific examination fraud case. After Wen Yuan was arraigned, Duan's son-in-law personally led the punishment department to search the study of the Shangshu Mansion. And found an account book from a secret compartment covered by a statue of Guanyin, which recorded many things, all of which were replaced by special symbols. Duan's son-in-law and Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment interrogated Wen Yuan again overnight, trying to decipher those special symbols. symbol.

In the morning of the vertical day, the rain was a little lighter. After having breakfast, Shen Liang was playing with his six-month-old nephew in the house. After receiving the post, I saw that it was Xiang Zhuo and the others. I wanted them to come directly to the Second Coming Courtyard, but after thinking about it carefully, I took Lei Zhen and Yaoguang to the front yard.

"Fifth Young Master is here."

In the hall of the main courtyard, Shen Ruiting was not there, and Sun Jing, who was temporarily in charge of the Hou's house, was leading people to greet them. Seeing Shen Liang coming, Sun Jing immediately went up to greet them, and Xiang Zhuo and others looked over together, and they couldn't hide their joy , but because they were guests at someone else's house, they were very reserved and did not perform any dignified behavior.

"Aunt Sun, go down first."

Shen Liang nodded with a smile. Sun Jing is not a person without eyesight. She hurriedly bowed to answer, and turned around to greet Xiang Zhuo and others before taking her away. However, there are still servants and maids who are meticulously serving in the hall. , Xiang Zhuo and others still can't act willfully. People with identities like them, when they go out of their own doors, what they do is no longer representing themselves, but the whole family. The family has endowed them with noble status and privilege life, they also have the responsibility and obligation to maintain the face of the family.

"Cool cool..."

"Okay, you all go down."

As soon as Xiang Zhuo, who was holding the air of the son of the Hou family, opened his mouth, Shen Liang almost didn't hold back. He cut him off before he finished speaking, and waved all the servants and maids who were serving in the hall to go down. Shen Liang smiled and said, "Okay, stop pretending. Seeing your serious appearance, why do I feel so awkward."

No way, the place where they have the most contact is Tianmen Academy, and in Tianmen Academy, all of them seem to have let themselves go, cool, handsome, domineering and unscrupulous, but now when it comes to formal occasions, he is Not used to it.

"You still say, I pretend to be very hard, okay?"

Xiang Zhuo exhaled exaggeratedly, and his upright sitting posture also crooked. Compared with Shen Liang, he was basically spoiled by his parents and elder brother. He has been more casual since he was a child, and what he fears most is all kinds of serious occasions up.

"You look like this, you really should let Hou Ye and Shizi also come and see."

Xie Yan, the grandson of Xie Ge, covered his mouth and chuckled unceremoniously, and Yang Tianyu, the second son of the Ministry of Punishment, said solemnly: "Let the Lord Hou and the son see that he should not be punished to kneel through the floor of the ancestral hall?"

"Ha ha……"

The rest of the people didn't join the ranks of complaining and disgusting, but they burst out laughing at the same time, even Shen Liang as the host was no exception, only Xiang Zhuo blushed, and his round eyes stared at this again. Staring at that one, the last one didn't hold back, and actually laughed with them.
