don't want to be emperor

Chapter 39

No matter what rumors are going on outside, Xia Mingqiu only knows that his goal has been achieved, so he started his next actions in an orderly manner. The only bad thing is that the big emperor seems to be still angry with him... ···Recently, I see that I always have a bad face, which makes me afraid every time I see him.

The interrogation took place overnight in the palace, and people outside the palace were also discussing intensively.

"Grand Master, Zhongshuling and others have arrived at the mansion through a secret passage."

"Bring it directly to the study, and change the handle of the study with a strict mouth. I'll be there later."

"The next official sees the Grand Master."

"My colleagues, all of you are free of courtesy. Zhuang Quan is quick to show you tea, and I will give you a taste of the Liu'an tea that I just received the day before yesterday."

"Here."

"Teacher, my son..."

"Lord Zhongshu Ling, the tea is here, let's taste it first, it won't be beautiful when it's cold."

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty thanked the Grand Master."

"Everyone, have a taste and see how the tea I received this time is like?"

Seeing Zhong Shuling who took the lead, several officials present took a sip obediently, and picked up the tea cups one after another.The study room was very quiet for a while, only the sound of porcelain colliding lightly.

"It really is good tea!"

"It's so fragrant!"

"The grand master's collection is indeed a fine product!"

Listening to his subordinates flattering one after another, Grand Master Li twirled his beard and smiled without saying a word.After a while, the compliments gradually stopped, and Taishi Li coughed inadvertently, and the surrounding became even quieter.

"Hong Guang, doing this is like tasting tea. Don't be in a hurry. Not only will you not be able to taste the tea in a hurry, but you may burn your mouth."

Hearing Taishi Li's meaningless words, Zhong Shuling couldn't help but froze, and put down the cup. "Also ask the grand master to enlighten me."

"Hongguang, I understand your feelings very well. After all, my son is also in the hands of the little emperor. It is said by outsiders that the little emperor invited you and my two sons into the palace because he wanted to enjoy the blessings of everyone. Follow that' E Huang Nv Ying', but you and I know that the little emperor must have plans. We are now colluding in big things, and if we make a mistake, we will lose everything."

"What the grand master said is that the lower officials are not thinking carefully. But, my son is the only seedling of my royal family. Alas, since he entered the palace, I have no days to live in peace. Sigh~"

"Don't worry, I received a report this morning that the little emperor has not been in a good spirit recently. I guess I didn't find anything useful from you and my two sons, so he often loses his temper in the room. I guess it won't be long before he will Under the pressure of the imperial court, let your son and mine be released from the palace. Besides, the little emperor doesn't have a heart, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to achieve a major event. Now, the ones who need to pay more attention should be King Anping and his party, lest they should cooperate with each other and play tricks of stealth. So I called everyone here today, and I hope that everyone can subdue their hearts and not act impulsively, so as not to spoil the plan." After speaking, Grand Master Li picked up the teacup, held the lid of the cup in his left hand and gently skimmed off the tea powder, bowed his head slightly Taking a sip, the eyes are slightly raised to observe the colors of everyone.

As soon as everyone heard it, they understood that Li Taishi was obviously trying to comfort Zhong Shuling not to act hastily, but he was secretly beating them.So one person nodded and said yes.Grand Master Li nodded slightly in satisfaction, and then brought the topic to the big plan.

In fact, Taishi Li's third son and Zhongshuling's son didn't participate in or know much about it, and they couldn't find anything of value through interrogation, so they weren't worried about leaking secrets.It's just that he doesn't know what kind of medicine is sold in the little emperor's current gourd, so although he is not afraid, he has to guard against being held in his hands.

"Your Majesty, I have a book to play." Under the instruction of Li Taishi and others, Si Nong took a step forward holding his wat.

"allow."

"Recently there have been rumors that it is not good for His Majesty and Sheji. I also ask Your Majesty to let the two young masters leave the palace as soon as possible."

"You old man is so boring, I haven't had enough fun yet." Xia Mingqiu leaned back on the dragon chair with an unhappy expression.

"This...this..." Si Nong was caught off guard by Xia Mingqiu's sudden change in temperament, and he didn't know how to proceed.And Taishi Li and Zhongshuling's complexions also became ugly because of this sentence.Looking at the gloomy face of King Anping, he was even able to drip water.

"Your Majesty..." Huangmen servant took a step forward holding Chaohu, but Xia Mingqiu didn't give him a chance to finish his sentence.

"Okay, okay, all of you are bored to death, how about this, the widow heard that the second son of Zhongshushe's family is also a famous young talent in Shengjing, or else I will invite the second son to come to the palace tomorrow Let's be a guest, and the widow will learn from him. As for the two sons who have been guests in the palace for a long time, it is better to let them go back to accompany their families."

Upon hearing this, the Zhongshu Sheren hurriedly took a step forward and knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the dog has no shape, and is afraid of offending His Majesty, and rushes against the imperial court. Please take it back."

"The widow wants him!"

"Your Majesty! Please don't act recklessly." King Anping finally couldn't hold back his words, and Zhongshu Sheren gave him a grateful look.

"Prince Anping, I've had enough of you, you're just a prince, I'm the emperor! Hmph! Ebb tide!"

No matter how winking people are now, they can see that King Anping's face is extremely ugly.After Xia Mingqiu went out, the quiet drop of a needle could be clearly heard in the whole hall, and the ministers all dared to walk out along the wall, fearing that they would be affected.

It wasn't until they reached the open place outside the hall that Zhongshushe hurriedly approached Grand Master Li, "Teacher Grand Master, you..."

"Zaoqing, for the sake of the big plan, let's bear with it for now." Grand Master Li stopped and patted Zhongshusheren on the shoulder and left, leaving Zhongshusheren holding his fists to watch him go further and further away.

The four words "destroyed" are really appropriate to describe the Zhongshu Sheren at this time.This feeling reached its peak when he saw his son.The always restrained Zhongshusheren held his son's hand tightly and cried out, "Father, I'm sorry!"

"Father, the palace is not a den of wolves. Father, there is no need to be like this. Please be careful. If someone with a heart spreads it to the emperor's ears, I'm afraid you will be killed."

Zhongshusheren looked at his beloved son who was a head taller than him, and felt in a daze that the child had grown up. This kind of fearless demeanor in the face of danger suddenly made people feel at ease about him.

Mrs. Zhongshusheren in the backyard couldn't sit still when she heard the news, thinking about the emperor who killed a thousand swords in her heart, while rushing to Zhongshusheren's study.

After comforting his father and mother well, the second son, Wang Wei Nian, walked to the garden under the moon alone, sat on a cool stone bench, looked at the round moon in the sky, and sighed. "I hope it lasts a long time? Heh." A few years ago, I persuaded my father not to associate with Li Taishi and his ilk. This person is treacherous and cunning, and his heart is unpredictable. My father is not his opponent at all. It is better to be a petty official. , How nice it would be for a family to enjoy themselves happily.It's a pity that my father insisted on going his own way and got involved in the disputes of the court. Every day he was trembling like walking on thin ice like facing an abyss...

"Your Majesty, Wang Wei Nian has arrived."

"Who is that?"

"Your Majesty, he is the second son of the Zhongshushe family."

"Oh, let's send him to be with those two young masters." Xia Mingqiu supported his head with one hand, flipping through the book casually with the other.

"Here."

Xifu went out for a while and then came back with a troubled expression on his face: "Your Majesty, this person begs Your Majesty to see him."

"See the widow?"

"Yes, what does Your Majesty want?"

Xia Mingqiu leaned on the back of the chair, threw the book aside casually, and straightened his clothes, "See you, I want to see what kind of medicine this prince who is full of Shengjing sells. Just call him to the study, my widow." Just wait here for him."

"Here."
