General, he's cheating again

Chapter 41

In the early morning of the next day, except for a few Ministers of the Ministry of Industry who reported the recent waterlogging in Huainan, the rest of the ministers had nothing important to do.It wasn't until Song Xun said that he agreed to make peace with Bai Diguo that all the officials in the Daqing Palace began to speak out enthusiastically.

The attitude of summoning Song Xun this time is very tough, but to the surprise of all the officials, this time even Qin Qingrong's words of dissuasion will not work.

After retiring from the imperial court, the ministers couldn't help having different opinions outside the palace, bluntly saying that Huai Ji of Baidi Kingdom is nothing like a flower fairy, she is simply a witch who deceives the monarch and wears a beauty's skin to harm the country.

And because Qin Qingrong heard the conversation between Huai Ji and the envoy who wanted to restore the country yesterday, he secretly thought that since these two people have such ambitions, if they continue to stay in Beijing in the future, it will definitely cause an uproar.

Now that Song Xun was bewildered by Huai Ji again, Qin Qingrong didn't want Song Xun to make such a mistake again, so he went to the Chui Gong Palace after he retired to try to persuade him again.

After retiring from the imperial court, Song Xun continued to return to the Chuigong Hall to review the memorials, and when he heard Li Chengfu outside the door announcing that Qin Qingrong had invited an audience, his face could not help showing a trace of fatigue.

Slowly closing his eyes, Song Xun rubbed his brows with his fingertips and sighed lightly. After a long while, he said coldly to the door: "Li Chengfu, send him in."

Li Chengfu gently pushed open the shiny paper sandalwood carved wooden door. He squinted and looked at Qin Qingrong who was beside him. Although his face with gray eyebrows and temples was slightly vicissitudes, it was full of flattering smiles. In a soft voice, he said: "Lord Qin, the emperor invites you in."

Then Qin Qingrong nodded respectfully and smiled at Li Chengfu, then turned his eyes to look at the hall and stepped into the door with deep eyes.

Guessing that his Long Live Lord was going to get angry again, Li Chengfu waited for Qin Qingrong to step through the door and then consciously closed the door. He stood outside the door and did not intend to go in with Qin Qingrong to wade into this muddy water.

"If you're here to persuade me to take back my promise to be married, then back down first."

Song Xun sat upright behind the imperial case, his sharp eyes fixed on Qin Qingrong who was standing in the center of the hall with a calm face, and there was a hint of impatience in his tone.

"As the saying goes, you know people, you know your face, you don't know your heart. Now that you haven't seen Bai Diguo's real intention of proposing a marriage with the Song Dynasty, I believe that the emperor should be cautious and behave well."

I always feel that today's Song Xun is very different from the image of Zeming who listened to both in the past. Qin Qingrong felt strange, but still lowered his eyebrows and insisted on admonishing: "Your Majesty, please think twice."

"Hmph, so do you also think that I am a fool who will be seduced by a beauty!"

The expression on Song Xun's face gradually became gloomy, he sneered at himself and said, "Could it be that, as the lord of a country, I don't even have the right to like someone!

Why can you do whatever you want, but I have to be bound by many etiquettes?Alright, then tell me, whether this world belongs to me or to you! "

Unexpectedly, there would be so many complaints in Song Xun's heart. It was the first time seeing Song Xun like this. Qin Qingrong couldn't help but looked up at the angry man behind the case, and was speechless for a moment. Word.

In fact, he was not opposed to Song Xun accepting a foreign man into the palace, but because Huai Ji had a disobedient heart towards Da Song.Since Qin Qingrong knew the matter, he must not let Song Xun make the big mistake of leading a wolf into the house hastily.

In another part of the palace, just when Qin Qingrong had an audience with the Chui Gong Hall, Gu Zhen, who was about to leave the palace after retreating from the court, was stopped by a servant, saying that Lin Wenshan wanted to invite him to the Xijiao Gate for a discussion.

Hearing this, without even thinking about it, Gu Zhen knew that Lin Wenshan was a weasel giving a New Year greeting to a chicken, and he had no good intentions.

After the boy finished delivering the message and turned away, Leng Ji appeared behind Gu Zhen and reminded him expressionlessly: "This may be a trap, general, do you still want to go?"

"Go.

And it's still a must. "

A murderous look flashed across Gu Zhenxie's charming phoenix eyes, and he sighed coldly: "After all, even if you can hide from the first day of the junior high school, you can't hide from the fifteenth day. I'm afraid that if I don't go today, that old thing will come back to me in the future. It's better to let the old man come to you." It's better to kick him clean."

After finishing speaking, he walked towards the West Corner Gate with his hands behind his back in a cold expression, but he was bumped head-on by a beautiful court lady halfway before reaching the West Corner Gate.

The maid's soft hands caressed Gu Zhen's chest delicately, and when she realized that she raised her head and raised her eyebrows to look at Gu Zhen, she saw Gu Zhen smiling at her, and the maid suddenly blushed and turned her head to the place not far away. West corner door ran.

While running, she covered her mouth with a handkerchief and turned her head to look at Gu Zhen affectionately. Any normal man with discerning eyes could tell that this court lady must be a promiscuous dissolute, otherwise why would she dare to act blatantly in broad daylight? Seduce a man.

And Gu Zhen has always been a flirtatious dandy, so he will definitely take the court lady's trick.Seeing that Gu Zhen was indeed walking forward with her, the palace lady relieved herself and didn't look back at Gu Zhen and ran into the west corner door first.

She was already wearing thin clothes, but the court lady hid in a deserted pavilion behind the West Corner Gate, she also took off the outermost light blue veil of her clothes, revealing a white and smooth back and two bare pink arms.

It's just that she waited in the pavilion for a while but didn't wait for Gu Zhen to come in. She became more and more anxious and didn't care to put on the coat she had just taken off, so she walked lightly to the corner door and poked her head out to look outside.

Suddenly, she saw a eunuch with drooping head and trembling kneeling outside the west corner door. The more she looked at it, the more she felt that this eunuch looked familiar, and she couldn't help being horrified when she remembered it.

The palace maid widened her eyes in horror, thinking that the eunuch kneeling in front of her at this moment is not the companion who was sent to frame Gu Zhen with her this time?

And just as she was thinking this way, someone suddenly covered her mouth with her hands from behind, and the maid was forced to raise her head and struggle desperately, and when she glanced sideways, she saw Gu Zhen had already appeared beside her.

After knocking the maid unconscious with one palm, Leng Ji stood beside Gu Zhen and nodded with lowered eyes and asked, "General, how should we deal with these two?"

Pushing out a sharp dagger from his sleeve, Gu Zhen turned around and lowered his eyebrows to look at the eunuch kneeling on the ground trembling.

He walked slowly to the eunuch and squatted down, pinching the eunuch's chin with his slender knuckles, forcing the eunuch to look up at him.

Carefully looking at the terrified look on the eunuch's face, Gu Zhen smiled horribly, and then raised the knife with the other hand. In the blink of an eye, a glaring bloodstain appeared on the eunuch's Adam's apple, and he leaned over with his eyes closed. fell to the ground.

"How to deal with it?

Kill it like this, then throw it away and feed it to the dogs. "

He took out a square handkerchief to wipe the blood off the silver blade, and put the silver blade back into his sleeve, Gu Zhen suppressed his murderous aura and said calmly.

After obeying the order, two guards in black appeared behind Leng Ji and picked up the eunuch and maid, and then flew up to the wall with Leng Ji and left the palace.

At this time, Lin Wenshan and Huai Ji, who were still lingering around the palace gate, waited for a long time without hearing any movement. After a while, they saw Gu Zhen walking out of the palace gate with a calm expression, and the two couldn't help but looked at each other.

Then they entered the palace and went to the Xijiao Gate to investigate. Lin Wenshan and Huai Ji searched around but couldn't find anyone. Finally, they found a bloodstain outside the Xijiao Gate.

It could be guessed that the eunuch and maid had already been killed by Gu Zhen. Lin Wenshan did not expect that Gu Zhen would be so bold that he dared to kill people recklessly in the palace.Clenching his fists tightly, he showed disgust.

"That's right, it's beyond His Majesty's expectations to strike so fiercely and decisively."

Lin Wenshan beside him gritted his teeth and was extremely angry, but Huai Ji smiled approvingly in his eyes and said, "Gu Zhen is really capable of taking on the important task."

"What kind of cruelty and decisiveness? The old man sees that this guy simply disrespects imperial power and is unscrupulous."

With a long sigh, Lin Wenshan turned his face to look at Huai Ji's long and narrow eyes with a hint of gloom, he sneered and said, "He thought that he could save himself from danger by killing the eunuchs and maids, but I want to make him suffer a little bit, old man.

Huai Ji, the old man wants you to find an opportunity to tell the emperor about Gu Zhen's murder of the eunuch and court lady as soon as possible, so as to break the trust of the emperor in him.

In addition, the old man will come up with new strategies to frame Gu Zhen in the past few days, and your cooperation may be needed at that time, so don't make any trouble for the old man. "

"Don't worry, if His Royal Highness goes out in person, the final result will definitely not disappoint you." While talking, Huai Ji paused thinking of something and reminded Lin Wenshan: "But don't go too far. , His Highness said that Gu Zhen must live well before the matter is completed."

In the evening, Song Xun, who was exhausted from a busy day in government affairs, drove to Guanghua Palace for dinner.

Seeing that Song Xun's expression relaxed a little, Huai Ji pretended to be unintentional. Under his thick eyelashes, a pair of blue eyes that looked very innocent and innocent sighed slightly sadly: "Your Majesty, Guanghua Palace is here today. Two servants were lost in the middle. Presumably they came all the way from Baidi country with Huai Ji, now they disappeared, Huai Ji feels uneasy."

"lost?"

Hearing this, Song Xun said disapprovingly: "The palace is so big and they can't get out. I will ask Li Chengfu to look for you in the palace later. Maybe it's because I lost my way and returned too late."

"No, Your Majesty, Huai Ji thinks they lost it for a reason."

Acting as if hesitant to speak, Huai Ji cleared her throat and then sighed softly, "Oh, forget it, Your Majesty. Right now, Huai Ji doesn't have any definite evidence, so she doesn't dare to speak nonsense."

There was a hint of impatience in Song Xun's eyes. He put down his chopsticks and looked at Huai Ji without any appetite and urged in a cold voice: "Whether there is evidence or not, you just say it. I don't blame you."

"If so, Huai Ji said it.

Don't dare to lie to His Majesty, the two slaves of Huai Ji got lost after His Majesty retreated today, and one of them looks good.

Huai Ji heard from other servants in the palace that it seemed that someone in the palace saw Master Gu Zhen going to the Xijiao Gate to rape a court lady after retreating from the court today, but was bumped into by an eunuch in the end.

The story was rumored to be true or false, Huai Ji felt that the court lady and eunuch might be a lost slave from Huai Ji Palace, so she went to the Xijiao gate for a tour.

How could Huai Ji not find those two servants, but saw a bloodstain on the ground outside the Xijiao gate.From this, Huai Ji estimated that the two missing servants in Guanghua Palace had already been killed. "
