Host refuses treatment

At dinner, Gu Qinglan ate the ugly fish that made Lin Zhao feel embarrassed, as he wished. After the cook peeled off the skin of the fish, it didn't taste so bad, and the taste of the fish was indeed delicious. I want her to see it She is well-informed and has eaten countless delicacies. The taste of this fish is at the forefront of the food she has tasted.

Therefore, she was very "kind" and gave half of it to Lin Zhao.

When Lin Zhao received the condolences from her new national teacher, her face became very strange, so after reviewing the official affairs, Jiuye, who specially put her next to Gu Qinglan, called over.

"Did you... have a chat with the national teacher today?" Lin Zhao asked.

Jiuye replied very honestly: "Master National Teacher's question did not touch on the secrets you mentioned, so I know everything as you ordered."

Lin Zhao: "...What did the national teacher ask?"

"Master Guoshi first asked about the twins, without asking a few words, and then asked the minister about you."

"About Zhen?" Lin Zhao felt a faint headache, "About the story between Zhen and that fish, did you tell the national teacher?"

"Yes, because the national teacher happened to see this fish in the lake in the garden. It was extremely ugly, so he asked me who kept the fish in the lake, and I told the truth about the empress dowager..."

"Then tell the national teacher about my affairs?"

"Yes."

Lin Zhao sighed, why did she find such a fool?Moreover, this stupid man knows himself best, so he would be ashamed in front of the national teacher.

"From now on, you don't need to tell the national teacher about these embarrassing things about me, so as not to make people laugh at me."

"I understand."

Jiuye's usual behavior is like a machine that executes orders, and does not do unnecessary things. It is also because of this that Lin Zhao is most at ease with her, but he never thought that one day he would actually dig a hole for himself!

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing. I just received a secret report that the emperor of Sankati sent envoys here, probably to seek peace."

"Oh, I almost guessed it too. It was exposed by doing such a thing. One of his self-righteous hole cards was discarded by our national teacher, and the other was disabled. What else can he do besides begging for peace?" Lin Zhao Leaning on the chair, I felt very happy. It was the other party's turn to taste the trembling mood I felt that day.

"Those guarding the border are waiting for your order. They asked you if you want to take this opportunity to kill the other party by surprise." Jiuye said.

Lin Zhao lightly tapped the table with his fingers, and was silent for a long time.

"It hasn't been long since I succeeded to the throne. Now the rebellions in various places have not been completely subsided. Some rebel leaders have not been caught. Besides, our country has just experienced many years of civil war. War is a waste of money and may arouse public resentment. We are not as strong as Sankati, so it is not a good time to go to war."

"But we have a national teacher." Jiuye said.

What made those generals guarding the border suddenly have the confidence to propose to the Empress to attack the Sankati Empire, which was slightly stronger than them?Wasn't it because Lin Zhao revealed Gu Qinglan's affairs to them in advance to appease the soldiers.

"The task of the national teacher is to protect the country and protect the safety of the emperor. She can indeed block thousands of troops by herself, but if she lets the lord enter the ordinary battlefield at will, the world will be in chaos long ago. This is an unwritten agreement between countries. At least It cannot be broken by our country first."

"I understand."

"As for the emperor of Sankati, at least he is afraid of the national teacher. Since he came to ask for peace, I have to see his sincerity. Isn't it better to let the other party bleed to fatten our own army? If he is not willing , That’s another story, but let the generals on the border pay attention, you must not relax your vigilance during this period, at least until all the dust settles.” Lin Zhao ordered.

"Yes." Jiuye accepted the order.

"And... the fish soup sent by the national teacher, I will keep a bowl, and then I will send it all to the Queen Mother. She loves this the most. I had some disputes with the Queen Mother before, and the words were serious. It was my fault. Let the empress dowager calm down, and when her anger dissipates, I will personally make amends." Only Jiuye can know about this kind of problem between the emperor and the empress dowager. Therefore, she knows the most about Lin Zhao's secrets.

"I understand."

When Jiuye left, she was carrying a food box, which was kept warm with special ore, so it would not be cold.

"Jiuye~" Suddenly, a person appeared behind Jiuye, even if he was as strong as Jiuye, he couldn't help tightening the food box in his hand.

"Master, what are your orders?" This is the only person in the palace who can appear so close behind him without being noticed by himself.

"Where are you going?" Gu Qinglan, who was eating after dinner, saw Jiuye hurrying past, so she came to say hello.

"Returning to the Master, the servant is delivering fish soup to the Empress Dowager on behalf of His Majesty," Jiuye said.

"Is it the fish soup I gave to His Majesty?"

"Yes, Your Majesty kept a bowl for himself, because...the Empress Dowager liked it, so I asked my slaves to borrow flowers to present Buddha." Jiuye shrewdly covered up the real reason, which should be what His Majesty said that you don't need to tell the master of the country. thing.

"So that's how it is. Your Majesty is really filial." Gu Qinglan didn't suspect anything else, "It happens that I'm digesting food, why don't we go together?"

Gu Qinglan's purpose was to see if she could pry out more interesting stories about Lin Zhao's childhood from Jiu Ye's mouth, but unfortunately she came a step late, Jiu Ye's mouth had already been "sewn" up by Lin Zhao.

Gu Qinglan only knew about some innocuous and trivial matters, and Jiuye Leng didn't reveal a word about the rest.

Before they knew it, the two came to the former Leng Palace, where the Empress Dowager lives now.

"Bang!" The two had just arrived at the door, when they suddenly heard the sound of porcelain falling and breaking on the ground, followed by a high-pitched female voice.

"it was all your fault!"

Jiuye raised the hand that was about to push the door and suddenly put it down, then turned her head and said to Gu Qinglan: "Master Guoshi, why don't we go to another place and walk around?"

"Is it Jiuye outside! You come in, what did that dead girl ask you to bring!"

"...Jiuye, I think you may not be able to leave." Gu Qinglan sympathized.

"Huh? Is there anyone else?" The thick door was suddenly opened, and the owner of that voice revealed his true face.

The woman was dressed quite plainly, she looked extremely young, and her appearance was first-class and exquisite, but there was a fierce look around her eyebrows and eyes, which made people want to retreat three feet away.

"I've never seen you before. You are Lin Zhao's new girl? Tsk tsk, she looks pretty good. After all, Lin Zhao's little girl has a pretty face." The woman didn't feel any ambiguity in what she said, and didn't Noticing the change in the expressions of Gu Qinglan and Jiuye, she dragged them into the limbo very unceremoniously.

"Don't stand outside, come in and talk." The woman closed the door based on the principle that family ugliness should not be publicized.

"Tell me, did that heartless girl Lin Zhao come to apologize?"

Jiuye looked at the angry woman on the opposite side, and then at Gu Qinglan who was dragged in from the side for no reason.

Your Majesty, I'm sorry, but it may be your mother who will cheat you in the future.
