[Ming Dynasty] I seem to know too much

The subtle changes between Jiao Shizhi and Zhu Houzhao were quickly known.

At this time, Jiao Shizhi had replaced Liu Jin as the communication bridge between the inner and outer courts, and the relationship between him and Zhu Houzhao would naturally be valued by the officials.And the people in the palace have long regarded Jiao Shizhi as a close minister of the emperor. If something happened to him, firstly, they need to know what caused the result, and secondly, they also secretly hoped to replace Jiao Shizhi. s position.

Jiao Shizhi soon sensed this kind of undercurrent, but the problem between him and Zhu Houzhao was really difficult to solve, and it wasn't that he deliberately kept the distance apart, but that the relationship between the two could not go back to the distance no matter what. .

Jiao Shizhi tried his best to keep it as it was, but the emperor was holding back!

Waking up early in the morning, Jiao Shizhi came back from dancing his sword. Xiao Dezi had prepared hot water for him to scrub. As soon as he went out, he bumped into Zhu Houzhao who was looking for someone.

Jiao Shizhi looked at Zhu Houzhao in surprise, "Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?" On weekdays, even if they wanted to have breakfast together, at most they would send someone to invite them. How could there be any reason for the emperor to come over by himself?

"Come to ask you to eat." Zhu Houzhao said lightly, and walked forward pulling Jiao Shizhi's sleeve.On weekdays, the emperor occasionally made such a move, Jiao Shizhi hesitated for a long time but did not pull back, and slowly followed behind Zhu Houzhao.

But as soon as he entered the hall and sat down in his seat, Zhu Houzhao added four or five snacks for him.Jiao Shizhi quickly declined, "Your Majesty, it's not advisable to eat too much in the morning."

Zhu Houzhao said gently: "It's okay, if you can't finish eating, you can leave it to me."

These words made Jiao Shizhi finish the two bowls of food abruptly even if he was full, before he dared to leave.

How dare he let the emperor eat what he left.

With all kinds of inconsistencies, the people serving around have already seen something is wrong, and they have their own thoughts in private.Because of this, Gong Nai soon settled down.

No matter how you look at it, the emperor doesn't look like he doesn't like Mr. Jiao, okay?Obviously, I like it even more!

Jiao Shizhi felt the repressed and frantic emotions in the emperor, but he couldn't promise anything.

He is not heartless, but after seeing the years-long entanglement between Jiao Jun and the Gong family, and Jiao Jun's cold and indifferent behavior afterwards, he once thought that maybe he would never like anyone in this life.

I didn't expect to fall on someone who I didn't expect at all.

Compared to the future, the two of them are still too immature now.When he was young and frivolous, he always thought that he could scold Fang Qiu, and it was not until his head was broken in the world that Fang Qiu could grind away the edges and corners and bloom a dark and elegant light.However, before the results are achieved, the dark days are the most difficult.

As far as Jiao Shizhi is concerned, the emperor's statement is like a half-grown tiger cub acting like a spoiled child to a stag that is thinner than him, expecting the stag to play with him, staying together day and night.

But yin and yang have their own laws, cubs and stags should not be matched together, how can one step be wrong, every step is wrong!

Zhu Houzhao didn't seem to see Jiao Shizhi's worry, as always.After three days like this, Jiao Shizhi finally had no choice. After returning to the palace one day, he took the initiative to look for Zhu Houzhao.

"Your Majesty, what do you want to do?" When Jiao Shizhi asked this sentence, his whole body was in a state of emptiness. The eyes of the people in the palace were much longer than those outside, and even the slightest move of the emperor could be caught by them. The guess is almost inseparable, not to mention that Zhu Houzhao's performance is so obvious now, it is a spoiler!

Zhu Houzhao was standing on the bank of the table practicing calligraphy, and put down the brush in his hand with a chuckle, "Don't worry about it, it's fine."

Jiao Shizhi raised his forehead, "Your Majesty, every move of yours will cause people to speculate, not to mention that it is you who take the initiative to attract attention, which is not good for you." He persuaded earnestly, only thinking that the biggest thing in this life All the patience was spent on the emperor.

Zhu Houzhao thought for a moment, then simply raised his voice, "Lehua, close the door."

This is a private matter.

Lehua took them out, leaving only Jiao Shizhi and Zhu Houzhao in the hall. Zhu Houzhao motioned Jiao Shizhi to sit down beside him, while he paced around the hall for a while, then said: "I asked Liu Jin to investigate Zhang Qiaoniang. Although we haven't really found out who is behind her, it can already be confirmed that it is one of the feudal lords."

This beginning has nothing to do with what Jiao Shizhi came to talk to Zhu Houzhao just now, but the emperor never shoots aimlessly, Jiao Shizhi was concentrating on thinking, and suddenly thought of something, "Your Majesty, is it possible that the Zhang family is among them?"

"It doesn't matter whether the Zhang family is bait or a vertical line. With the queen mother here, I can't move him for the time being. But you are in Jinyiwei, and you must collect all the criminal evidence about the Zhang family. If necessary, you must hit it!" Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly, full of disgust for the Zhang family.

At the end of the 18th year of Hongzhi, Zhu Houzhao was still lukewarm towards the Zhang family, but he was not as disgusted as he is today.However, since he took the throne for more than a year, the two Marquis of the Zhang family may have felt a little more relaxed, and they have made a lot of things one after another, but they were suppressed by the Queen Mother Zhang.The Zhang family used Empress Dowager Zhang to try to put pressure on Zhu Houzhao about the matter of Yanyin.

Thinking of this matter, Zhu Houzhao silently warned himself that besides him, no one else should know that it was Shizhi's suggestion, otherwise those who have been cut off from the way out will probably come after him to trouble him, and even more so. Not to mention that there is a heavyweight in the palace waiting for him.

Because of this, Zhu Houzhao was a little disappointed with Queen Mother Zhang. In her eyes, his son might still be like a child who could be controlled when he was young, or maybe he was not as important as the Zhang family she was eagerly looking forward to.In short, although it is not obvious on the surface, the relationship between the two is not as close as before.

Looking at Zhu Houzhao's ruthless expression, Jiao Shizhi knew that the Zhang family had finally aroused the emperor's suspicion and disgust, and he was a little relieved.If the emperor is still as indifferent as the first emperor, it is unknown how many people will suffer in the end. The information he has collected during this period alone is eye-popping, but there is nothing he can do.

"Your Majesty, how did Zhang Qiaoniang get in touch with the feudal lord? She is just a weak woman, how can she bypass all the defenses of Jin Yiwei with such supernatural powers?" Jiao Shizhi asked puzzled.

Zhu Houzhao casually pointed to the elegant and clean but all high-quality furnishings inside the house, and then pointed to the magnificent buildings outside, raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you still remember the A Furong incident?"

Jiao Shizhi watched Zhu Houzhao's actions just now, and remembered that incident again. He was startled, and blurted out, "Could it be that that incident is also related to the vassal king?"

"Well." Zhu Houzhao nodded, told him the royal secret, and finally said: "My father has always felt ashamed of Qihui Wang Zhu Youzhen, but because of his concession, it made Qihui Wang Zhu Youzhen even more dissatisfied. In the end, because of the A Furong incident, the father was furious and ordered people to assassinate King Qihui Zhu Youzhen, and died in the 14th year of Hongzhi."

"If Zhang Qiaoniang is related to this case, then King Qihui Zhu Youfu must be just a pawn! The real planner must have kept it more secret!" Jiao Shizhi pointed out the inadequacy.

Zhu Houzhao nodded approvingly, "That's right, my father has cleaned the harem twice, but there is still a fish that slipped through the net. This person must be hiding very deep, and he can freely enter and leave the harem without suspicion. I guess he is at least the twelfth prisoner now." people."

Jiao Shizhi suddenly looked up at Zhu Houzhao, full of worry, "Your Majesty, the Twelve Prisoners have always been close to the Emperor, you should be more careful."

Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips indifferently, "I'll accept Shizhi's worries, but don't worry. If Liu Jin and the others can't muddy the water for me, then there's no need to come back."

Only then did Jiao Shizhi know that Zhu Houzhao actually had such thoughts in letting him out.

"Your Majesty, Liu Jin and others are loyal to you. If you use them properly, it will be of great benefit to you. But if they act recklessly and lawlessly, they will easily endanger the country." Jiao Shizhi's own duties can come into contact with too many secrets Well, the actions of Liu Jin and others naturally have corresponding intelligence collection, and their actions have become more and more reckless recently.

"Everything they have belongs to me. Ordinary ministers dismissed from office can still return to their hometowns, and they will be named idle clouds and wild cranes. What will happen to them if they are hated, they must know better than others, so don't worry." Zhu Houzhao said .

Jiao Shizhi still felt a little uneasy in his heart.

The two talked for a long time, pieced together and almost sorted out the complete facts.

There were indeed several forces lurking in the palace back then, and Emperor Hongzhi's first cleanup only removed people on the bright side.Zhu Houzhao's previous incident of the white snake falling into the water should indeed be done by Qihui Wang Zhu Youfu, and what he wanted was Zhu Houzhao's life.

The method used in the second incident was more gentle, more to control Zhu Houzhao, and then destroy his body, but such a method would be long-term, and it would not cause Zhu Houzhao to die suddenly.Although King Qihui's manpower was borrowed for the Afurong matter, it was not necessarily his order, it might also be his cooperation with others.

It's just that there must have been some mistakes later, so that the people behind it completely abandoned this method, and threw King Qihui out as a scapegoat, completely eradicating all traces.

And Zhang Qiaoniang may be in a crucial but insignificant position in it.Someone must attract Emperor Hongzhi's attention, but it doesn't matter who this person is, it can be Zhang Qiaoniang or someone else.Zhang Qiaoniang was not eliminated afterwards, presumably because she didn't know much, and because she wanted to get more information through her.However, because of Zhu Houzhao's dislike for her, she had no chance to get close to her in recent years, and instead became a waste.

Zhu Houzhao said regretfully: "If I had known this, I would have mistaken it for a snake." But just after he finished speaking, he shook his head again, with a respectful and insensitive expression on his face, "Let's forget it, and seeing her pretentious appearance again, I'll have to Vomited."

Jiao Shizhi helplessly supported his forehead, and Zhang Qiaoniang was not as exaggerated as Zhu Houzhao said.But Zhu Houzhao has such a temperament, no matter what he likes, it is the best in his opinion, if it is not pleasing to the eye, it will not attract his attention no matter what.

Wait, Jiao Shizhi thought of something, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, you must send someone to guard Zhang Qiaoniang's side. The news of her private contact with you may have spread. If there are still people watching the movement here , when they mistakenly think that Zhang Qiaoniang is looking for you to surrender, they may make some moves." If someone really made a move, they might be able to capture some traces.

After all, although the emperor guessed that it was the vassal king, but there are so many vassal kings and their sons, how do you know which one it is?

Zhu Houzhao clapped his palms and smiled, very happy, "There is Shizhi by my side, helping me a lot."

There are only so many clues that can be known now, after finishing speaking, Jiao Shizhi suddenly found that the emperor still hadn't explained clearly the meaning of his intimate actions in the past few days.Zhu Houzhao noticed the slight doubt on his face, and said with a light smile: "Based on Zhang Qiaoniang's behavior, at first she may have been the princess for the position, but later I rejected the marriage offer from the emperor. The reason why you came here is probably to leave a way out for yourself."

Zhang Qiaoniang is not stupid, in fact she is very smart.In the beginning, she had really hoped for the position of the crown princess. After the crown prince refused, she specially picked Jiao Shizhi's absence and planned to implement other methods.Unexpectedly, Emperor Hongzhi would pass away soon, Empress Dowager Zhang was sick, and the inner and outer courts were in a mess. Who would pay attention to her?

After finally finding an opportunity, I plan to have a secret plank with the emperor. Even if I can't cooperate with the emperor, it will increase her status in the emperor's heart, so that he can be a little bit concerned about her safety, even if she is used. It doesn't matter.Unexpectedly, Zhu Houzhao took such an unconventional path. After seeing Zhang Qiaoniang take advantage of Queen Mother Zhang's kindness to do this, she didn't even have a chance to speak.

"Girls are easily dazzled by emotions. She suffers setbacks over and over again. She is naturally extremely jealous of you, the person who has easily won my love. I don't shy away from Nanfeng. She can easily think of this As a matter of fact. If you act rashly, you may find more clues." Zhu Houzhao seemed quite reasonable.

Jiao Shizhi pondered for a moment, then suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I thought about it for a while. This method is only [-]% possible at most, but the loss has reached [-]%. You should have known it long ago." The damage to reputation cannot be made up for by the so-called clues.Even his feelings for Zhang Qiaoniang just now were all speculations.

Zhu Houzhao pursed his lips and smiled, "Oh, I was discovered by Shizhi."

"I just want to get closer to you."

Jiao Shizhi suddenly realized that those words were so soft that it was unreasonable.

……

Zhang Qiaoniang hesitated anxiously in her heart, but had to change her clothes according to the news she received, waited for the usual time to come, and slipped out quietly.

When Zhang Qiaoniang first entered the palace, she was really just sent into the palace by the two masters of the Zhang family to be doted on, but as soon as she entered the palace, she felt that the prince didn't care about her.

If this continues, Zhang Qiaoniang will not end well.Although Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling wouldn't do anything to her, after she was sent home, the parents who sold their daughters for glory might swallow her alive!At that time, although Zhang Qiaoniang was immersed in the dream of the palace, she was worried every day until she set her sights on Jiao Shizhi.

Jiao Shizhi has a very unique position around the prince. If he acts through him, will the prince have an impression of her?It was this thought that prompted her to act, but it also made her fall into the eyes of the people over there.

Zhang Qiaoniang never knew who the person over there was. She was ignorant at the time and didn't know the consequences. She was completely thrown into it by the blind glory and false promises of the future.And it wasn't until later that she knew that they coveted the throne. If it wasn't for this, why did they need to attack the prince?

It happened at this time that there seemed to be some internal conflicts there. Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Qiaoniang used the information she had snooped before to quietly leave her suggestion in the tree hole, and obtained it when they met for the second time. With permission, she achieved her goal easily.

She really stayed in the palace!

This is a great comfort to Zhang Qiaoniang, she can continue to survive in the false warmth instead of falling into the cold home outside the palace.Joy mixed with anxiety made her a little confused, but she never regretted such a decision.It's just that Zhang Qiaoniang has been faintly doubting whether she was a oriole or a praying mantis in her so-called scheme at the beginning?

Most of the information can be obtained by Zhang Qiaoniang's maid, but some important news can only be obtained by Zhang Qiaoniang in person.Both places are naturally very hidden and cannot be found easily.

But gradually, I don't know whether it's because I'm used to living in the palace, or because although they threatened her many times, but never really attacked her, Zhang Qiaoniang no longer has the "over there" that made her inexplicably afraid at the beginning. Feelings of panic.She even began to speculate on which side they were in, except for the first few times she met one of the people who connected, and in the following years, they relied on the previously agreed signals to connect back and forth.

Slowly, Zhang Qiaoniang can do less and less things for that side. She can feel that she is starting to lose its effect, but for some reason, if she is not killed, maybe she is just an ant in their eyes.Gradually, she had different thoughts in her heart, Zhang Qiaoniang wanted to get out of the control over there, and even started to want to leave the palace.She is now favored by Empress Dowager Zhang, and she has the ability to preserve herself even if she leaves the palace, which is better than continuing to waste in the palace.

She doesn't want to stay in the palace anymore, she hopes that she can go out of the palace, but now Queen Mother Zhang's love for her has become her obstacle, she can neither explain the situation to Queen Mother Zhang, nor does she want to really become Zhu Houzhao's concubine. one.Of course, she really admired Zhu Houzhao, but under Zhu Houzhao's neglect for several years, even if she had such a heart, Zhang Qiaoniang would not post it by herself.

It is really the Queen Mother Zhang who succeeds, and the Queen Mother Zhang who loses.

However, there is another biggest obstacle to leaving the palace-"there".

Zhang Qiaoniang walked around in the palace at will. In recent years, she looked glamorous, but she was always worried about danger.Cui Liu and Hong Tao have always thought that the young lady has a city in her chest, but only she herself knows that she has been a little anxious.After the people over there were cleaned up in the palace, they had gradually lost the tough power they had when they threatened her, but there were still people staring at her all the time.

At the beginning of Hongzhi's 18th year, someone from the side he hadn't seen for a long time sent someone to tell her that he hoped that she would try her best to stay with the prince, even if she was a concubine.Zhang Qiaoniang has a delicate face and a tall figure. She walks, sits, and sleeps all showing a sense of beauty.She has been spoiled in the palace all these years, she doesn't want to be the prince's concubine!

She could feel that the people over there were becoming active, contacting and urging her frequently, which bored Zhang Qiaoniang, but there was nothing she could do for the time being.Even if their strength weakened, they were still not something she could directly contend with.But this is the palace, if she really doesn't want to do anything and stays in the Palace of Compassionate Ning day and night, is it possible that someone would dare to break into the Palace of Compassionate Ning to hurt her and kill her?

This situation has undergone a huge change after the death of Emperor Hongzhi a year ago. With the rise of the crown prince and the cleansing of the power in the palace, Zhang Qiaoniang almost never received any news from that side, which made her worried and worried again. Very excited.This is exceptionally good news.

Zhang Qiaoniang was both lucky and unwilling, she didn't want to live such a life.But after a year of undisturbed time, she began to feel dissatisfied.She was quiet before because she had to, and the news of the sudden silence made her suspicious and dare not move rashly.If there is really no one to supervise her now, why can't she do what she wants to do?

Failure to contact the emperor is not a very embarrassing thing. Zhang Qiaoniang didn't try to impress Zhu Houzhao at once, but she didn't expect that Zhu Houzhao didn't even give her a chance, so what she wanted to say became false.

And now, the people over there actually came to contact her - just when she thought the people over there had completely disappeared!

Zhang Qiaoniang couldn't help feeling anxious, but she kept using the previous words to comfort herself, they are short of manpower in the palace now, so they definitely won't do anything to her.If she dies, not to mention Zhu Houzhao, the Queen Mother Zhang will definitely not let her go lightly, and will only scare the snake away!

After reassuring herself in this way again and again, Zhang Qiaoniang calmed down, and sneaked out to meet people at the appointed time, while in her room, Heart was resting in her house pretending to be her.And she was wearing plain clothes, and hurried along the path to a place she hadn't been to for a long time.

Before she met the people there, she would quietly go to Jiangxuexuan in the middle of the night. Since the prince fell into the water, there had been less and less people there. She put the messages to be exchanged in a hidden tree hole, and then went to fetch them regularly.

While walking, countless thoughts flashed in Zhang Qiaoniang's mind.On both sides of the path was the familiar darkness, she hurried past without seeing it, and walked straight to Jiangxuexuan.It was approaching midnight at this time, and the little servants Jiang Xuexuan was sweeping had dispersed, and the dark palace was so dense that it was frightening.

In the end, Zhang Qiaoniang still had a guilty conscience. If she hadn't contacted the prince, perhaps the people there would have forgotten that she was a pawn.Zhang Qiaoniang regretted it very much while thinking about such a guess in her heart.The act of finding the emperor did not benefit her, but on the contrary, she revealed her thoughts.

Zhang Qiaoniang walked nimbly under the tree they agreed upon, carefully searched for the hidden tree hole, patiently pushed aside the layers of weeds that covered it, and could vaguely see something inside.Just as she was about to take out the contents, there was a whistling sound of breaking wind behind her!

Zhang Qiaoniang was startled and got up quickly, but felt a sharp pain in her head and passed out.

When Jiao Shizhi learned about Zhang Qiaoniang's attack, it was already after he returned to the palace.When Zhu Houzhao told him about this matter with a serious face, Jiao Shizhi's first reaction was to feel worried, "Your Majesty, is it possible that Zhang Qiaoniang is really dead?"

Zhu Houzhao shook his head, looking dissatisfied, and frowning, "She took her life, it seems that the murderer didn't want her to really die, but the injury on the back of her head is too serious, even if she wakes up, there will be some serious injuries." It's a big problem. The imperial doctor said after the diagnosis, when she wakes up, she should have forgotten all the previous things."

Zhu Houzhao attached great importance to this matter, and specially pulled out several capable imperial physicians from the imperial hospital for a walk, and finally got such a result uniformly.In other words, the murderer's attack was so ruthless in order to make Zhang Qiaoniang completely forget what happened before.

"But if that's the case, wouldn't it be easier to kill Zhang Qiaoniang. It's easy to be found out if you do something like this, so why do you do it?" Jiao Shizhi wondered.Zhu Houzhao nodded, and told Jiao Shizhi another thing, "The murderer was found beside Zhang Qiaoniang, and committed suicide by taking poison."

Jiao Shizhi's expression was condensed, "The emperor has sent someone to guard Zhang Qiaoniang, and there are people watching her when she goes out. Under such circumstances, she can still be captured, or the person who did it is extremely powerful, or it is the guard." There are people like them in Jinyiwei."

It is extremely difficult to hide such a person in the palace, and it is almost unimaginable that such a man was lost in order to shut up Zhang Qiaoniang.

Either Zhang Qiaoniang has a more important position than they imagined, or Zhang Qiaoniang accidentally knew something she shouldn't know, but why didn't she kill her?Jiao Shizhi never understood this point.

"Or it's actually both." Zhu Houzhao said with a half-smile, as if he had thought of something.

Jiao Shizhi hummed lightly in doubt, and Zhu Houzhao waved his hands and said, "The man's body has been inspected. Although the tiger's mouth and palms are smooth, the strength of the body cannot be fooled. It is not a good choice in any aspect if you have acquired extremely powerful foreign skills, or a specially trained assassin."

It's just that if Zhang Qiaoniang really can't remember anything, then the clue will be completely broken.It is really disturbing that such a master is hidden in this palace.If there are such people around the emperor, wouldn't it be a catastrophe!Jiao Shizhi pursed his lips and said: "Perhaps the emperor can also clean the harem again, so as not to miss something?"

Zhu Houzhao shook his head, and explained to Jiao Shizhi, "It's not that he didn't want to, but it was unnecessary. At the beginning, Mou Bin's review was indeed extremely strict. There may be one or two leakages in the palace, but it is impossible to leave behind such a martial artist. Otherwise, Mou Bin's head would have been taken off by the emperor long ago. This person should have come out of Jinyiwei."

Zhu Houzhao paced slowly in the room, his handsome face full of contemplation, "He has handed in the paperwork for the plan you discussed with Mou Bin earlier, and it will be wholesaled tomorrow. It does not need to be reviewed by the cabinet. You have to be caught off guard, otherwise the effect will be ineffective. The presets are so good."

Jiao Shizhi disagreed, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the emperor, dissuading him with worries that he didn't even know: "Your Majesty, if you come directly like this, the disturbance caused will shake the court, you'd better go first Let's get some fresh air with a few elders."

Zhu Houzhao didn't take it seriously, walked a few steps behind his back in the room, turned around and looked at Jiao Shizhi who was standing behind him, "Although they have good intentions, they must have their own selfishness in life. , no matter how regretful it is, it will not help."

Jiao Shizhi said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wrong. There is still a copy of the commander's letter that has not been handed over. That copy is more radical than the previous one. After careful consideration, Your Excellency does not intend to submit it. You can do it in a few days." Leaking this matter in front of the elders, if it really leaks, then next time there will be no mercy."

Give people face and take a step back.If you don't know how to restrain yourself, you can't blame others.Jiao Shizhi worked hard for Zhu Houzhao's relationship with the ministers.The emperor seldom considered the minds of the ministers when he did things, but Jiao Shizhi couldn't be so straightforward and not turn the corner.

"It turns out that this Mou Bin is still hiding something." Zhu Houzhao said meaningfully, he didn't know what he thought of, and he snorted softly, but he didn't reject Jiao Shizhi's opinion after all.

Seeing this, Jiao Shizhi breathed a sigh of relief, changed the topic to the previous matter, and asked softly, "If Zhang Qiaoniang really forgets the past after waking up, what does the emperor want?"

Zhu Houzhao said casually: "If there is nothing wrong after verification, send it home directly. If there are still problems, it is natural to send someone to check it out."

"Where is the Empress Dowager?" Jiao Shizhi hesitated.

Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something good, and said with a smile: "The queen mother has not been in the mood to care about Zhang Qiaoniang recently. In the past two days, for some reason, two uncles collided with the stall when they were running horses on the street, and the horse was frightened, causing them to fall. On the ground, both of them were injured, these days, it's not enough for the Queen Mother to greet them both, so there is no time to take care of Zhang Qiaoniang."

This is also the wrong time for Zhang Qiaoniang's accident. If it goes forward a few days and faces Zhang Qiaoniang who is injured and unconscious, Queen Mother Zhang will naturally be furious.But now it is good to send Aunt Mo to visit a few times.

Jiao Shizhi looked at Zhu Houzhao seriously, trying to find any news related to him in his eyes.He remembered that this man was extremely dissatisfied with these two marquises, and it would not be surprising if he did something.

However, regarding Zhang Qiaoniang's affairs, I can only lament the impermanence of the world. Zhang Qiaoniang's affairs may seem a bit tragic, but if he hadn't been malicious from the beginning, how could he have ended up where he is now?Maybe she wanted to take refuge in the emperor later, but this kind of defection had an unknown motive, and it was purely for her own benefit, so it can only be said that it is her own fault.

It's just that Jiao Shizhi didn't seem quite right from just now, he didn't show it on the surface, but actually moved his fingers slightly, as if he wanted to say something, and finally he endured it.Zhu Houzhao noticed Jiao Shizhi's unintentional frown, walked up to him, stretched out his hand to caress his brow, and sighed: "I know what you want to say, but you didn't say it, but I'm very happy."

Zhu Houzhao's body temperature was transmitted from that gentle touch to Jiao Shizhi's body, making the small patch of skin on his forehead go numb, as if all the attention of the whole body stayed there, making him extremely sensitive.Before Jiao Shizhi could make a move, the emperor restrained himself naturally, stepped back and smiled lightly: "I originally planned to hand over the guards in the palace to Shizhi, this time I will take care of it by the way." .”

"Appropriately, my future safety is all in your hands."

Zhu Houzhao frowned and said kindly.

Jiao Shizhi pursed his lips, and accepted the matter with his hands clasped, suddenly feeling urgent for Jinyiwei's reform in his heart.

When he discussed with Mou Bin, although he was not satisfied with the status quo, he never thought that if too many mixed people were mixed in, it would lead to such a bad result!To be able to let the thief hurt people through the inner court. If this person is valued again, he may be able to gain the power to walk freely in the inner court in a few years. Expose everything unguardedly? !

And how many such people are there?

For a moment, he became a little restless, and even ignored Zhu Houzhao's soft and slow movements that were hard to detect.

Standing behind him, Zhu Houzhao rubbed Jiao Shizhi's small earlobe back and forth with two fingertips with a smile, slowly, slowly watching that place become rosy.

It's really very funny.

"Your Majesty, please stay away from me—"

A moment later, such a voice suddenly broke out from the originally peaceful Qianqing Palace, and I saw the always gentle Master Jiao striding out of the palace with a little anger, followed by the words of the emperor Qiqi Ai, "Oh, Shizhi, I was wrong, you Don't go so fast."

Now Jiao Shizhi is kicking Zhu Houzhao's villain very disrespectfully in his heart, wishing he could disappear in the palace immediately.If it weren't for the inappropriate occasion, he would almost have reached out to cover the warm earlobe.

Once perceived, that hot touch can no longer be ignored.
