Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 137

"Yes." Zhao Xiwei was no stranger to the undercurrent between them, "I will definitely be careful, and try to reassure my father and His Highness."

"Cough, cough—" Zhao Ziyi almost vomited blood.

Compare your father with the prince so quickly? ! !
"Father, what's wrong with you?" Zhao Xiwei was puzzled.

"It's okay, it's okay." Zhao Ziyi swallowed half a mouthful of tea, suppressed the depression in her heart, and then suppressed the stiff expression on her face, "Daddy is just happy, Wei'er has grown up."

Li Xuanye looked at Zhao Ziyi's livid face, and suddenly felt in a good mood.

He brushed off his sleeves and sat down, took the cup of tea on his own, and said without hesitation: "If the prime minister can't solve it, you can ask Gu for help, and Gu will naturally help you and keep you safe."

There was a half-smile expression on his face, but his voice had a solemn promise in it.

Zhao Xiwei was very grateful, and bowed his knees and saluted: "Thank you, Your Highness, for taking care of me."

With Li Xuanye's words, if the Empress Dowager still took the Zhao family under her knife, she would not be so panic-stricken.

Zhao Ziyi's wounded heart was mended again, and her eyes were full of silent anger: Li Xuanye, don't get complacent too early!
But it was inconvenient to reveal it in front of his daughter, so he had to raise his sleeves and pretend to drink tea, so as not to let himself see the face of the little wolf cub on the opposite side again.

It was past noon when a exhausting discussion was over.

The heavy rain stopped, the sun reflected through the thick clouds, and a hazy rainbow appeared between the ink-colored green hills in the distance.

Inside the carriage, Yuan Ce scratched the back of his head and asked the question that had puzzled him all day: "Your Highness, why didn't you just tell Prime Minister Zhao the truth? Seeing how aggressively he is chasing you to take responsibility, my subordinates really ...It's too much!"

Father-in-law looks at son-in-law, no matter how displeased he is!
The master is His Royal Highness the crown prince, if he is held accountable by a courtier like this, would he still lose face?
Li Xuanye was watching the urgent report from Jizhou, without even raising his head, he just said casually, "Tell him what?"

"Of course I told him that you never did anything to offend Ms. Zhao!"

"Oh?" He glanced up at the restless guard, "Why did you tell him?"

"In order not to let him misunderstand you all the time!" Yuan Ce was very depressed, "He treats you like that today, and the subordinates can't stand it anymore."

"If you misunderstand, just misunderstand, there is nothing wrong with it." Li Xuanye closed the official document in his hand, picked up a map, and stopped his eyes on the map: "Isn't it just to be responsible alone, a big man alone, There will be no less meat."

Yuan Ce's eyes widened in confusion.

After a while, he finally recovered from his stupefaction, and looked at his master with a sudden realization: "This subordinate knows!"

"Your Highness, are you—" He looked concerned, and was sincerely happy that the master had finally opened his mind: "You, you, you, you have taken a fancy to Miss Zhao!"

"Huh?" Li Xuanye frowned, and called out, "Yuan Ce."

"Ah, the subordinate is here!"

"Your salary for the next month—"

The words without any emotion caused Yuan Ce to feel pain in his heart immediately, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, please forgive me, this subordinate has only this salary in total, if you deduct it, it will be gone! There are old and young among the subordinates..."

"There are old and young on the top?" Li Xuanye raised his eyebrows.

"Ah, no, no, my subordinates are wrong. Is there a superior or a subordinate..." He touched his ears and smiled mischievously, "My father still expects me to save enough money to marry a wife..."

"I just feel—" Li Xuanye turned his eyes to the outside of the car window, looking at the rainbow that is gradually dissipating in the distance, "Instead of arranging Zhao Xiwei's marriage with the palace to achieve the purpose of wooing Zhao Ziyi, it's better to be straightforward." Let Zhao Ziyi beg Gu to be responsible all day long, as for misunderstanding Gu, what is this?"

Yuan Ce raised his head in shock: "Your Highness, what do you mean... using Miss Zhao as a hook to catch the Prime Minister?"

"Nonsense." Li Xuanye put away the map in his hand, and snorted coldly: "Gu kindly saved his daughter once, and he, Zhao Ziyi, is not only ungrateful, but even dared to use this as an excuse to blackmail Gu, hmph, isn't it just that?" Do you have to be responsible alone?"

"As long as Zhao Ziyi really dares to send her daughter to the East Palace..." The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he smiled lightly: "Gu doesn't mind, just be responsible to the end."

Yuan Ce was dumbfounded.

The master is just using Miss Zhao?

Did he misjudge again?
Hey, but on second thought, let’s use it!Anyway, sooner or later, the East Palace will have a woman come in. Instead of letting others come in, it's better to let Miss Zhao in. At least, Miss Zhao is quite a nice person.

The most important thing is that His Highness doesn't seem to hate Miss Zhao so much... right?
I just feel sorry for Miss Zhao, who was kept in the dark, and Prime Minister Zhao, who lost her plan...

Shaking his head, Yuan Ce was a little distracted, and couldn't help muttering, "...It turns out that master is trying to trick a man!"

"?" Li Xuanye narrowed his phoenix eyes, and slapped the closed map on the desk, "Yuan Ce, I think it's better not to have your salary for next month."

"Ah I……"

With a "pop", Yuan Ce heard his heart shatter into eight petals again...

His mouth opened, and his tears were about to fall: "Your Highness, this subordinate hasn't married a wife yet. If you have punished me with all my salary, who would dare to marry me! This subordinate knows his mistake! Today, my subordinate I will write a [-]-word self-criticism when I go back..."

"No need." And Li Xuanye didn't bother to care about his sadness at all, and just threw out a sentence without emotion, completely cutting off his thoughts, "Compared with watching you write a self-criticism, Gu still prefers to watch you be single. "

"..."

In just three days, two months' salary was suddenly reduced, and Yuan Ce shut up depressed.

Jishitang is the most famous medical center in Chang'an. It is a two-story wooden building built in a quiet place in the bustling city. The doors and windows are decorated with pure white gauze, which looks simple and elegant.

There are slender green bamboos planted all around, and the wind blows the bamboos, rustling, accompanied by the sound of "dong dong dong" pounding medicine, as if coming to a paradise.

Gu Hansu was dressed in white, and his hair was fixed with a white jade hairpin. He was studying the medical book in one hand and a hawthorn in the other.

I saw him sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling, completely immersed in his own world.

Until the announcement from the medicine boy outside the door woke him up: "Master, Master, the Crown Prince is here!"

Gu Hansu and the crown prince have a good relationship. This is a secret that everyone in the medical center knows. No, the whole medical center has been busy with one thing these two days: Princess Lingxi has a poor appetite recently and wants to eat the hawthorn prepared by Doctor Gu himself. pill.

It's just that the relationship is good, the prince is the prince of a country, and he is busy with affairs in China, how can he have the time to visit the medical clinic in person?
