The entire yard here is planted with plants, and even there are several wooden shelves in the living room with colorful potted plants on them. Guo Shao sat down and smelled the colorful and mixed fragrance of flowers and plants, the smell of tranquility. But he is really not in a leisurely mood this time, and his physical discomfort will affect his mood. At this moment, a young lady came up holding a glass cup. Guo Shao almost didn't recognize that this girl was Xiao Chuo. Xiao Chuo's shaved hair had grown to her shoulders and was too short to comb, so she braided some pigtails to make her look more lively and pretty. She was wearing a silk Hanfu with a flat collar, and her breasts gradually swelled. "Your Majesty, please have a cup of tea." Xiao Chuo said cautiously, with a flattering look. Guo Shao said nothing, took off his hat and put it on the table, revealing a bald head, sitting there awkwardly, looking at Xiao Chuo with a complicated expression. Xiao Chuo glanced at his head quietly, his face flushed, as if he wanted to laugh but didn't dare. The culprit is this bitch¡¯s father! Guo Shao felt violent when he thought of Xiao Siwen. He used to respect this enemy for his knowledge, but this guy's methods were too mean Under the storm, so much blood was shed, but the mastermind behind the scenes was still prosperous and wealthy. . Guo Shao said casually: "Xiao Siwen seems to have completely forgotten that his daughter is still in my hands." After hearing this, Xiao Chuo looked fearful and buried his head. Lu Lan also came over and bowed slightly to salute Guo Shao. Guo Shao pointed to the wicker chair opposite, "Mrs. Lu, please sit down." Lu Lan glanced at Guo Shao's bald head and said softly: "At that time, His Majesty's hair was going to be shaved, and the doctors were against it. Your Majesty will not blame you. "Concubine?" The ancients valued hair, but Guo Shao had no such idea, so he said casually, "My life is important, but my hair can still grow." "I know that your majesty is not a secular person." " Guo Shao reached out and played with the crystal glass cup. Although the person who brought it was a Khitan girl, he still trusted Lu Lan. Looking at the thin green leaves and white flowers floating in the water, the leaves were like lips and had a strange shape, so she asked, "What kind of flower is this?" Lu Lan replied softly: "Rosemary." "Oh." Guo Shao nodded. , did not continue talking, obviously he was not interested. He moved his body and said seriously, "Ms. Lu, you saved me. I'm here today to express my gratitude. Whatever you want, I will do my best as long as I can do it." Lu Lan felt a little disappointed when she heard this, and she took a sip. He made a subtle movement with his lips, and the rouge seemed to contain fine pearl powder, glowing with a delicate luster in the sunlight leaking out between the flowers and plants; inadvertently, Guo Shao felt that the lip-shaped grass leaves in the crystal glass cup , seem to have some similarities. She smiled again, turned to look at Xiao Chuo and said, "My mother asked Yanyan to serve tea, and she wants to beg your majesty to forgive her, as long as her life is not hurt, your majesty" Although Guo Shao resented what Xiao Siwen did Because, but he has not yet thought of venting his anger on Xiao Chuo. It would seem a bit incompetent to take revenge on a little girl! The point is, it doesn't work either. "I promise you." Guo Shao said without hesitation. He also thought that sometimes women are more generous than men. Xiao Siwen robbed Bai, causing her family to be destroyed. Bai still wanted to protect Xiao Siwen's daughter; perhaps Bai had some feelings for this child while in Liao. After hearing this, Lu Lan said sheepishly: "Your Majesty treats me as expected." Guo Shao pretended to be calm and said: "It's just a trivial matter." The eunuch Wang Zhong was bored and waiting for Guo Shao outside the door, not far away. Li Yueji still stood there and did not leave. Wang Zhong looked at it several times, and finally walked over and answered Li Yueji: "The Concubine Xian has not gone back, what are you doing here?" Li Yueji used to look down on such eunuchs who were neither men nor women, but she stayed in the Daxu Palace. After such a long time, he seemed to have lost his original arrogance, and immediately answered: "I want to talk to the officials." Wang Zhong frowned and said, "What is there to talk about? If the officials want to see you, you don't need to bother here." Li Yueji's face turned red with humiliation when she heard that, "I don't want to tangle with the officials, but I am a wise concubine of the royal family." Wang Zhong sneered and looked at Li Yueji up and down, as if he remembered that this ungrateful woman used to treat him as such. The servant didn't even look at her. She looked around and whispered: "I don't know how long you will be known as a good concubine!" After hearing this, Li Yueji frowned and said nothing. Wang Zhong whispered again: "Ms. Lu has helped your majesty with so many things, and she has recently made a great contribution to rescuing him. If it were a man, he would be granted the title of marquis, prime minister, and be ranked among the three princes. It's a pity that Mrs. Lu is a daughter. Only the title of imperial concubine can be rewarded. Now that there are queens and four ladies in the Daxu Palace, where can there be a place unless one is replaced" After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Yueji thoughtfully with some teasing eyes. Li Yueji¡¯s face turned pale when she heard this, and her body became hairy when Wang Zhong looked at her. In fact, she didn't care much about her status in the harem. After all, she was born rich and a member of the Party. But if she was no longer a royal concubine, how could she still help her father who was arrested in the rebellion? Li Yueji looked down on Wang Zhong in her heart, but she had to think that what the eunuch said made sense. If Madam Lu is to be replaced, she, the daughter of a criminal who has fallen from power, is the most suitable candidate. She glanced at the door of the courtyard, feeling very upset. ¡The one who is upset and angry at this moment is Zhou Xian. Zhou Xian looked at the box of jewelry in front of him and said coldly: "Mrs. Zhou, I can't help you!" The woman standing was Zhou Duan's wife Wang. Zhou Duan is a member of the Zhou family. Because of Zhou Xian's relationship, he defected to Guo Shao very early and made a long history in Xuzhou. Wang's pear blossoms said with rain: "My husband really did not participate in the affair with the Zhao family. But those officials have always been filial, and if they don't accept it, they will offend others! My husband has nothing to do. He has to repay Zuo Fuzheng for his kindness during the holidays ¡My husband didn¡¯t know that the officials in Xuzhou were so bold to commit such a big case, otherwise they wouldn¡¯t have dared to take it any further!¡± Zhou Xian said coldly, ¡°Then why don¡¯t you go to Zuo You? How can I, a woman, handle this? Official matters?" Wang choked and said, "Zuo Fuzheng is in trouble now, and he also wants his wife to have a chance to help intercede. It is not Zuo Fuzheng (Huang Binglian) who is in charge of the case, but the people from the Privy Council." Zhou After hearing this, Xian became even more angry. He immediately took off the things on his head and wrists and put them in the box. He pushed forward and said, "Take them all back!" "Madam, please!" Wang fell to her knees on the ground. "My husband is your mother's family after all. If he is disgraced, it will not be good for my wife's reputation and status" Zhou Xian said: "You take the things away first. Now the entrance and exit of the palace are strictly checked. What did you bring in? The servant knew exactly what he had taken. How could I dare to accept it?" There seemed to be some room for this, so Wang stopped crying and expressed her gratitude and begged for mercy. Mrs. Wang promised to take back the jewelry she brought in today, but she would not accept the jewelry she had given before. Angry, Zhou Xian blurted out that the origin of those items was unknown and he felt dirty wearing them, which suddenly made Wang feel ashamed. After finally sending Wang away, Zhou Xian was still restless. Zhou Xian looked down on his cousin Chen Jiali in his heart. He felt that Chen Jiali was pretentious and pretended to be noble, but in fact she was just a bitch who built an archway! Could it be that he has become the kind of person that she looks down upon? She had a lot of random thoughts, thinking that sooner or later Guo Shao would know about this matter, and she was also afraid of being looked down upon by Guo Shao. ¡When Guo Shao returned to Long Live Hall from Lu Lan¡¯s residence, he saw the eunuch Yang Shiliang standing bowed at the door. He turned around and waved to Yang Shiliang, who followed him in and whispered a few words in Guo Shao's ear. After hearing this, Guo Shao sat on the chair and thought for a long time, and then said: "Emperor E has a noble temperament and is not a person who covets external things. But her cousin Chen Jiali is extremely wealthy and wears very rare clothes every time she comes to the palace. Jewelry is never the same." "Your Majesty is wise," Yang Shiliang said. "Send a message to the inner treasury to pick out some good jewelry and give them to Emperor E on my behalf." Guo Shao handled the matter simply. "According to the decree." Yang Shiliang bowed, and after a moment he said calmly, "This matter has little to do with Mrs. Zhou, but Governor Xu Zhouduan" Guo Shaodao: "Isn't it Wang Pu and Huang Binglian?" "Yes, yes." Yang Shiliang responded. ??? Guo Shaomo rubbed his head wearing a futou, feeling that this matter was a bit complicated If Zhou Duan was killed, Zuo You would probably be involved. Because Zhou Duan and Zuo You had a close relationship a long time ago, Guo Shao could figure it out with his toes. If Zhou Duan accepted a bribe, he would definitely share it with Zuo You, who was at the center of power This is very common in officialdom. , usually nothing happens. But once something big happens, you will be pulled out. Guo Shao couldn't confirm what was going on, but based on his many years of understanding Zuo You, he felt that Zuo You was unlucky this time Luo Yanhuan came to him, leaving him with a fishy smell, but it was very likely that Zuo You didn't want to He took the initiative to get involved with Luo Yanhuan; he usually collected money from Zhou Duan, and Zuo You, who had been in Tokyo, probably couldn't figure out where the money came from. There was also a jade Han Dynasty Emperor pen on the desk. Guo Shao took it off the pen holder, dipped it back and forth on the inkstone, and scribbled on the paper. Some names, some connections. Guo Shao did not want to interfere in the case, but now it seems that Zhou Duan may have been fooled, and Zuo You will not be beaten to the end After all, in order to move the cabinet to assist the government, Guo Shao must nod. These twists and turns inside, it seems that they will never be clear and unclear, and they will never be finished anyway. Guo Shao looked at the large pictures on the wall and looked wider, at the blank spaces at the edges of the pictures, and beyond. He didn't feel that he should be completely restrained by the thorns under his feet. ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off. What Guo Shao is most concerned about is Xiao Siwen
