As soon as the poisonous thought came out, Jiang Baoyu's outstretched hand subconsciously froze in mid-air.

Soon, she politely pushed Lizhi back.

"I accept your lord's wishes, but these lychees are precious food, you should keep them for yourself, my lord. In the future, if you have any cheap food, it won't be too late to think about me."

This is true, no matter whether there is poison in this lychee, Jiang Baoyu doesn't want to eat this lychee.

Although the manager of Ouchi said it sounded good, it was actually very hard work.

He saw a lot of delicacies around the emperor all day long, but he was only there to watch, and it was not even his turn to test the poison.

If it wasn't for the master's pity, you could only smell the taste but not eat it, which is very tormenting.

It's rare that he got a lychee, and he didn't want to eat it first, but wanted to keep it for her. Just because of this friendship, she couldn't eat it either.

Fearing that Tian would break up with her again and make the atmosphere more awkward, Jiang Baoyu quickly raised his top hat and said, "I have to go, my lord, you should have heard just now that the emperor gave me a problem again, and he also set three The deadline. If I don’t go back and make it quickly, I will be in bad luck again.”

As she spoke, she ran away without waiting for Tian to reply.

It was actually faster than when he escaped just now.

Tianyi watched her receding back, the bright smile on his face gradually faded, he looked down at the rejected lychee, stared at it for a long time, finally peeled off the shell and ate it himself.

Mmm, sweet.

Jiang Baoyu returned to Siyi Department and reported the emperor's instructions. Zheng Siyi sighed and immediately asked Jiang Baoyu if he had said something nonsense in front of the emperor, which made him unhappy and caused such a disaster.

Jiang Baoyu couldn't tell what happened between her and Shui Hanzhou, and recalling the scene when she was in the imperial study just now, she really didn't do anything beyond the rules.

After all, the emperor had already started targeting her as soon as she entered the door without doing anything.

Zheng Siyi couldn't really ask Jiang Baoyu to finish the emperor's top hat by herself, but she couldn't disobey the emperor's will, so she had to go to the Shang Palace Bureau in person with a back injury to ask Mu Gui for instructions.

"Let Baoyu do it."

"grown ups!"

"Don't you want to resist the order?"

Mu Gui is currently in charge of the chores of the two bureaus, and she herself has other tasks on her body. She has not seen her for a few days, and she has become quite haggard. It is very similar to the situation before Jiang Rongxi passed away. Even Zheng Siyi was scared when she saw it. jumped.

But she knew in her heart that the emperor was just teasing Jiang Baoyu and would not really do anything to her.

So she comforted Zheng Siyi and said: "When the emperor asked Baoyu to make the top hat, did he say that if it is not done well, it will implicate you, Siyi?"

Zheng Siyi recalled it, frowned and said, "Not really."

"Isn't it over?"

Mu Gui looked a little more relaxed, and instructed: "You just let her do it, but you still have to take good care of the previous top hat. If it doesn't work out, the emperor will have to use it when the time comes."

When Zheng Siyi heard this, he understood the essence of the matter, but he was quite moved by Mu Gui's indifference.

Seeing that her apprentice was about to suffer, she still had time to see the pros and cons, so she got rid of her monk service first.

And it doesn't care about Jiang Baoyu's life or death at all.

But she herself had received Mu Gui's kindness, and she was still unwilling to admit that she was such a person, so she asked cautiously: "My lord, does Baoyu need more help from the lower officials?"

Mu Gui's forehead furrowed, and he sighed, "Leave her alone, the palace is busy with two important matters right now, as the head of a department, don't do such useless work."

As she spoke, she also took out a medicine bag from the drawer, put it on the table, and said, "Take this medicine in the bath, it will be good for your back injury recovery, and save it, it's expensive."

After saying this, Mu Gui lowered his head again and continued to deal with the affairs at hand.

Zheng Siyi was so moved that she didn't want to. She didn't expect that Mu Gui was not in the Shangfu Bureau, and she was still paying attention to the news there. When she came in just now, she deliberately endured the pain and pretended to be a normal person, but Mu Gui still spotted it. up.

Okay, no matter how she doesn't understand, she knows who Mu Gui gave the medicine bag for.

Mu Gui is currently in the Shang Palace Bureau, so she has no way to go back to help Jiang Baoyu. As a secretary, why don't she have more snacks?

So as soon as she returned, she took a bunch of ancient books to Mu Gui's small courtyard.

However, it may be because of her back injury and inconvenient legs and feet, as soon as she stepped into the small courtyard, she heard Mu Gui's voice coming from Jiang Baoyu's room, and the master and apprentice were discussing together.

Zheng Siyi's body froze in the courtyard, it turned out that she was the one who had just taken care of a gentleman's belly with a small heart.

Mu Gui told her not to care about Jiang Baoyu's affairs, because she really didn't want her to bother, and the medicine pack she gave her was really for her wounds, and she didn't mean to ask her to take care of Jiang Baoyu.

Thinking of this, Zheng Siyi's eyes were unnaturally moist. She entered the palace for a short time and experienced three imperial court clothes. "Every move of the boss has a purpose, and every benefit you give you needs to be rewarded." This is the most reasonable saying It was ingrained in her heart.

That's why even though Mu Gui told her not to care about Jiang Baoyu's life and death just now, but gave her the medicine package, she took it for granted that it was Mu Gui's bad intentions to show favoritism and asked her to take care of him secretly.

But it turned out that she was thinking too much about everything.

At this moment, she really respected Mu Gui extremely, more than ever before.

She didn't have the confidence to fight the ax in front of Mu Gui, so she didn't go in to disturb the master and apprentice in the end, but placed the ancient books she brought at the door of Jiang Baoyu's room and left.

In the room, the master and apprentice had a heated argument.

"It's fine to make a few changes on the Tongtian Crown. If there is no accident, no matter what you hand in, the emperor will not be satisfied. You should be very clear about this."

"Isn't this fooling the emperor? Master, are you sure I can do this?"

"Otherwise, what should we do? Based on what I know about him, he will still choose to face the hat in the end.

Didn't he deliberately make things difficult for you just to vent his anger on Shui Hanzhou?The brother-in-law who co-authored him is a treasure, but isn't my apprentice?
listen to me!Don't do this useless effort, if you have this effort, it is better to research new fabrics and save some money for the common people.That's what you're supposed to do as a lady officer. "

"Yo Yo Yo, my lord is really capable. Do you dare to say those words in front of the emperor?"

After Jiang Baoyu said this, he felt a little regretful. After all, Mu Gui dared to say it seriously. Over the years, Mu Gui was fined for contradicting the emperor face to face, so that he had to rely on her to support him.

Thinking of her provoking Mu Gui so much, and Mu Gui going to provoke the emperor again, she might not be able to keep her purse again, such a vicious circle.

Jiang Baoyu immediately pulled Mu Gui back, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, if you think so, the emperor is quite pitiful. He is reluctant to throw away a hat that has been worn for more than ten years. He wants it for his daughter's wedding banquet." Is it too much to ask for a new hat that no one else has seen before to show off?"
