Bypassing the vast and exquisite garden, you can reach the back residence of the palace.A large area of ​​chic houses is divided into courtyards, which is where the concubines of the palace live.

Prince Jing's Mansion was originally the residence of a wealthy gentry in Lin'an. The entire mansion occupies an extremely large area and is extremely luxurious and exquisite.The imperial court fled here, and the noble gentry was afraid that they would not be able to save their lives, so they confiscated a lot of property and gave up their houses.

Since then, this place has become Prince Jing's Mansion.

King Jing was not like that wealthy gentry who lived in the same household for several generations and had a prosperous population, so the huge house was simply not enough to live in.Therefore, although there are many houses in the back house, most of them are empty. There are too many houses and many houses are left unattended for a long time.

In the corner, as night fell, a few remnants of lamps were lit in a courtyard that had been in disrepair for a long time.

With a creak, the door was pushed open.

The maid carried a food box, crossed the threshold and strode in.The main house is not big, and the objects inside may not have been cleaned for a long time. Once you enter, there will be dust everywhere, which is a bit choking.

She frowned in disgust, quickened her pace, walked to the table in the room, and placed the food box heavily on the table.

"The rice is here, Master can take care of himself." Her tone was cold, and the word "Master" had a bit of yin and yang, which was extremely harsh in the quiet night.

The man in the wheelchair in the room did not respond to her.

The maid had already seen that this man was not only a cripple, but also a mute.As long as others don't touch him, no matter how anyone bullies him, he won't react.

Nature is the best punching bag.

This maid has only been in Prince Jing's mansion for a few months, and she finally got a chance to serve her master.

Although several people in the house are masters, there are big differences. For example, Mrs. Xu's place is not a good place to go.

She had long wanted to find the way, and tried every means to ask Mrs. Gu to take care of her in the courtyard, but she did not expect that she would be assigned to this disabled person.

What good can you get by coming here?It's just this crippled self who lives in a broken house with air leakage.

The maid was full of resentment, and when she saw the wheelchair, she felt unlucky.

Seeing that the cripple remained silent as usual, she sneered and said, "I'm afraid you don't know yet. As soon as you start at noon today, Mrs. Gu's maid will go to the prince to complain. As soon as the prince heard it, he immediately said, I'm going to Mrs. Gu's room tonight."

Huo Wujiu remained motionless.

The maid's voice was a bit sharp: "Do you know who Mrs. Gu is? If you hit the prince's heart, you will let you go if you are a prince? Then the prince will punish you, and if you fail to keep it, you will implicate us. I am also unlucky, and I am assigned to such a It’s nothing more than a broken yard, and on the first day, we encountered such a thing.”

After finishing speaking, she snorted coldly, turned around and went out.

"A cripple who has to fight with others is really beyond his control."

The door was slammed shut.

Huo Wujiu slowly closed his eyes.

At this time, his forehead was very hot, and he had already developed a fever because of the unhealed wound on his body.

His mind was gradually covered with a layer of chaos, but he was very clear-headed.

He hid all his emotions back into the depths of his eyes.

In those eyes, there is a beast, which was forced into a narrow cage with reason, and was bloodied by the iron cage.

He has only endured pain since he was a child, and has never been humiliated.

He knows that the loser is a bandit, and it is the most reasonable thing to let others slaughter him.He also knows that he needs to stay in the green hills, and he will try his best. As long as he saves his breath, there will always be a day when he will pay his debts in blood.

He knew that there was no pain that could not be endured, but he never knew that it was not necessary to use a knife to kill a tiger.

Just let him hurt a little, lock him up, and sprinkle him with a handful of lingering, inescapable flies.

It will die naturally, little by little.No matter how powerful it is, it cannot be resisted.

-

Jiang Suizhou stared at them in a daze, and saw Gu Changyun approaching him to ask him to sit down, and asked, "My lord, what will Pang Shao do in the courtroom today?"

Jiang Suizhou was dumbfounded by Gu Changyun's question.

He thought about many possibilities, but he didn't expect that this vixen is not a vixen, and the dewy marriage is not a dewy marriage, these two people are the aides raised by the original owner in the mansion under the name of wives and concubines.

For a time, many things became much clearer.

It turned out that the original owner's so-called "broken sleeve" was a fake.You don't need to think about it, you know that by pretending to be seen by the queen master and Pang Shao, you can deceive people and reduce their concerns about themselves; and the so-called concubines who died because of his cruelty must have been stuffed by others to test his eyesight, Therefore, he died tragically at his hands.

Jiang Suizhou admired the original owner for a while.

Bearing the burden of humiliation and careful thought, if he is the one who sits on the throne, Jing Dynasty will not perish so quickly.

While slowly sitting down on the grand master's chair in the middle, he digested the sudden huge amount of information.

For a moment, he considered his words and said briefly: "He used the emperor's mouth to ask the king for the right to repair the ancestral hall."

After speaking, he picked up the cup of tea that Gu Changyun had just poured for him on the table, and took a sip.

Just now he was so engrossed in flipping through the materials in the study that he forgot to drink water, but now that he was sitting here, he felt his mouth dry.

Jiang Suizhou drank two sips of tea, but the room was quiet, and neither of the two people spoke.

He put down his teacup and looked over at them.

Xu Du, who was sitting on one side, asked unhurriedly: "Although the repair of the ancestral temple is not of great importance, it is something that several adults in the Ministry of Rites tried their best to win... Now, it has been taken away by Pang Shao. gone?"

He has a peaceful face and an indifferent expression. Just a few simple words make people feel like they are in the spring breeze.

Jiang Suizhou couldn't help but relax a bit: "Your Majesty asked for it, there is no other way."

Next to him, Gu Changyun said: "Since he borrowed His Majesty's words, the prince really couldn't refuse. It's just a pity that the money will fall into Pang Shao's hands again."

Xu Du said: "There is still a chance in the future, just wait. But the lords of the Ministry of Rites, can the prince comfort you?"

Gu Changyun nodded: "Indeed. Those adults fought for the prince this time, and they did a lot of things. If they are annoyed, the prince's dealings with them these days will become the prince's handle in their hands."

After finishing speaking, the two of them looked sideways at Jiang Suizhou.

They spoke frankly and clearly, and they could tell at a glance that the news obtained by the original owner would be shared with these two people. To him, these two people were extremely trustworthy.

But the premise is...they didn't realize that Prince Jing had been dropped by another person.

Therefore, Jiang Suizhou was quite cautious. After carefully recording what they said, together with the names of the ministers, he nodded and said concisely: "This king knows, and I have also informed Lord Qi today."

The two nodded.

Then, Jiang Suizhou briefly told them the rest of the memorials in the court.Fortunately, the queen master is a big fool, and he didn't talk about anything useful in the early court last time, so Jiang Suizhou didn't bother too much.

The two naturally discussed with him.

What they were thinking about was what Pang Shao would do under this court situation, and what chance would they have to get in the way and profit by the way.Jiang Suizhou gradually understood that these two people must be the brains of the original owner. After analyzing and inferring for him, he will make a decision.

However, the original owner was single and weak, so when he opposed Pang Shao, his methods were not very glorious—for example, in the case of repairing the ancestral temple, the original owner’s plan was to embezzle from it. The difference with Pang Shao is that the money falls on the in whose hands.

Jiang Suizhou understood him.After all, the court has reached such a point, it is useless to keep upright and clean.

Jiang Suizhou listened carefully to the two of them talking, and wrote down the useful information for later use in troubled waters.

Time passed by little by little, and when they finished their discussion, the lamp oil had already burned a little bit.

Several people stopped, Jiang Suizhou was a little thirsty, picked up the teacup again, and took two sips of tea.

At this moment, Gu Changyun spoke again.

"My lord...how do you feel about Huo Wujiu?" He asked.

Jiang Suizhou was taken aback.

... How do you feel, do you still want to compete with him for favor?

He looked at Gu Changyun, hesitated to speak, and remained silent for a while.

Seeing Gu Changyun rubbing his wrist, he laughed out loud.

"Your Majesty, don't think about it too much. This subordinate discussed with Xu Du today, and I only feel that Huo Wujiu... still has some things that need to be done by the Lord."

Jiang Suizhou was puzzled, and tilted his head, motioning for him to continue.

Xu Du and Gu Changyun exchanged glances.

Gu Changyun continued: "In the past two years, it's not that Pang Shao and the emperor didn't stuff people for you. However, those people were all dealt with by the master, but none of them remained. Now, there are only two of us in the mansion, and we are both masters." I found it myself... Therefore, this time Pang Shao proposed to the emperor that he wanted to give Huo Wujiu to the lord as a concubine, it must have been tempting."

Jiang Suizhou frowned: "You mean..."

Gu Changyun nodded.

"Leaving aside the emperor, Pang Shao still has doubts about the identity of Duanxiu, the lord. The people he sent in before were all eyeliners, but this time Huo Wujiu is different...he is neither the emperor nor Pang Shao. He is born with an outstanding appearance, so Pang Shao will definitely send someone to investigate secretly to see if the prince...will still favor Huo Wujiu."

Jiang Suizhou: "...."

Ah, let me pamper Huo Wujiu to prove that I am a broken sleeve?Why didn't you just chop off my head and hand it over to Huo Wujiu?

He immediately refused: "This king does not favor Huo Wujiu, so can it prove that this king is a fake Duanxiu? This is not appropriate."

But Xu Du, who had been silent all this time, spoke.

He said: "But if you dote on him a few times, it will prove that the prince must have lost his sleeve - if not, Pang Shao's party will send people in soon. If the prince still comes to kill one... I want to come It won’t be long before it’s revealed.”

Gu Changyun nodded: "The two of us discussed it, and we think this is the most appropriate way. You don't have to worry about it, you just need to spend more nights with Huo Wujiu during this time."

The implication is that it doesn't matter whether you did anything to him or not.

It is enough to let Pang Shao know that even if Jiang Suizhou hates a man, as long as he looks good, he will barely sleep.

Xu Du continued: "Today is not bad. Changyun just had a conflict with Huo Wujiu, so it is reasonable for the Lord to visit him today."

For a while, two pairs of extremely serious eyes looked at Jiang Suizhou.

Jiang Suizhou looked at them and fell silent.

He made a lot of preparations, just to avoid sleeping with the original owner's concubine.

But he didn't expect that the concubines of the original owner would look at him eagerly and ask him to sleep with Huo Wujiu.
