I, the queen and the father, start with a deer as a horse

Chapter 259 Staying in Xiangguo Mansion is a Great Blessing
With doubts, Wu Mingkong looked at Lin Wan'er at the side, and asked, "Who is the sender? Where is he?"

Lin Wan'er replied: "It's the shadow guard of the first village, who just left, and should be in Xiangguo's mansion now."

"Call him into the palace."

Wu Mingkong said lightly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lin Wan'er responded, turned and left.

After half an hour.

The shadow guard who delivered the letter came in front of the empress.

The whole body is covered in black robes, standing upright, giving people a solemn feeling.

"Did Fang Xiu ask you to deliver letters to several girls?"

The little empress dressed in a dragon robe sat on the dragon chair, looked at the shadow guard in front of her, and asked leisurely.

Hearing this question, the shadow guard's expression didn't change at all, he was still as cold as frost, and replied: "The rules of the first village, the grassroots have no right to answer questions related to the Lord."

When Lin Wan'er heard this, Liu Mei frowned slightly, snorted coldly, and said: "Under the whole world, is it the land of the king, and the shore of the land, is it the minister of the king!

There is only one master in Dagan, and that is Your Majesty!Whatever His Majesty asks you, you answer! "

The little pitiful, who usually looks soft and weak, now bursts out with a powerful aura that is not weaker than the princes.

It's normal.

Lin Wan'er was the dignified head of the inner court, even if the officials of the six ministries saw her, they would have to respectfully call Lin Shangyi, how could there be no means at all.

It is only in front of the little empress and Fang Xiu that she looks like a weak and pitiful little girl.

the other side.

Facing Lin Wan'er's scolding, the shadow guard still looked calm and raised his head slightly, without any reaction.

Seeing this, Lin Wan'er frowned even more tightly, and opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

at this time.

Wu Mingkong waved his hand, stopped her, looked at the shadow guard, and said leisurely: "You are not curious, why do I know that Fang Xiu wrote more than one letter?"

Hearing this question, the shadow guard seemed to realize something, his heart sank, but he remained silent.

see this scene.

A smile appeared on Wu Mingkong's exquisite face, he shook the letter in his hand a few times, and said slowly: "Do you know that you sent the wrong letter?"

The voice fell.

The shadow guard's body trembled slightly, and his expression was a little frozen, but he quickly returned to normal.

"Tell me, which girls Fang Xiu sent letters to, tell the truth, I will cover up this matter for you, anyway, the content of the letter is not very important, it's okay if you send it by mistake.

Of course, if Shangguan Haitang finds out about this matter, I can also intercede for you in front of Fang Xiu, so that you will be less punished. "

After Wu Mingkong finished speaking, a pair of peach blossom eyes stared at the shadow guard.

I was a little curious in my heart, facing this situation, what choice would this little shadow guard make.

"Caomin will report this matter to the Lord, and receive the punishment on his own, without worrying about His Majesty."

Speaking of this, the shadow guard was silent for a few breaths, his eyes showed firmness, and said neither humble nor overbearing:

"Currently, the Caomin boldly asks Your Majesty to return this letter to the Caomin. At most one day, the Caomin will present the correct letter to Your Majesty."

Seeing this, Wu Mingkong was surprised.

It has to be said that this shadow guard can be called dull no matter what he says or does.

For such an unreasonable incident, if he worked in the palace, he would be expelled from the palace in a few days.

but.

It is precisely because of such ignorance and sophistication that Fang Xiu can completely trust the information they provide.

It is this kind of stupidity that created the intelligence network that crushed Dongchang!
If there were more people like this in the court, some things would not be as difficult to do as they are now.

Thinking of this.

Wu Mingkong couldn't help sighing in his heart, and the bad taste of watching the theater disappeared.

She handed the letter in her hand to the maid beside her, and said calmly:

"If there is Li Yaoyue, the wife of Xiangguo Mansion, among the girls you sent the letter to, then this letter probably belongs to her.

Not surprisingly, my letter is also in her hand, I allow you to read the contents of the letter, and within a day, I will return the letter to the palace. "

The shadow guard was slightly taken aback, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

In the next second, he reacted quickly, reached out to take the letter, and bowed to salute.

"Caomin retire!"

Wu Mingkong sat on the dragon chair, watching the back of the shadow guard leaving, his delicate face showed thoughtfulness.

"I used to think that the reason why Fang Xiu was able to give power to the court and the public, established Zhenbaozhai, Zhufengxuan, and the first village, and at the same time controlled the court's revenue, public opinion, and intelligence was because he was rich in strategy and resourceful. Now it seems that not only so"

"If there are no subordinates who are almost dull, don't know how to adapt, and only know how to do things with all their heart, and only rely on those mercenary guys in the Fang Party, no matter how rich he is, it is impossible for him to develop so much power in such a short period of time. grow."

At this point, her eyes were in a trance, and she muttered to herself: "I really don't know where Fang Xiu found these people, all of them are devoted to him."

aside.

When Lin Wan'er heard this, she hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Return to Your Majesty, this servant thinks that such dead soldiers should be cultivated from childhood."

Wu Mingkong curled his lips, and said angrily: "How old is Fang Xiu himself? Shangguan Haitang, Hai Rui, Bai Qi, Qi Jiguang, and the shadow guards of the first villa, which one can he cultivate from childhood?"

"."

When Lin Wan'er heard this, she didn't know what to say for a while.

at this time.

A bolt of lightning pierced the sky and suddenly illuminated the entire Chang'an City.

Immediately afterwards, there was a rumbling thunder.

The wind picked up again, and this time it rained even harder.

Wu Mingkong looked out of the window subconsciously, and the bean-sized raindrops slapped on the glass, making people inexplicably upset.

"A torrential rain has been falling for four days in a row. Instead of stopping, it's getting bigger and bigger. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing for the court."

Wu Mingkong frowned and said slowly.

aside.

Lin Wan'er hesitated for a while, and chose to remain silent.

I watched the scenery outside the window for a while.

Wu Mingkong withdrew his gaze, and his delicate face returned to the calmness of the past, but there was a touch of trance in his eyes, and he muttered to himself:
"It's raining so hard, even if Qi Jiguang leaves immediately to replace Fang Xiu, he probably won't be able to come back in a few days."

"Forget it, let him stay in Yongzhou for a few more days, and call him back to the palace when the situation stabilizes."

aside.

Lin Wan'er curled her lips when she heard this, thinking in her heart, is the relationship between a man and a woman really such a huge charm?
It has been less than two months since Fang Xiang left Chang'an, and His Majesty has talked about Fang Xiang many times.

I chanted it when it was sunny, chanted it when it was cloudy, and chanted it when it rained heavily.
One day in the future, she will share the same bed with Fang, so she won't be as hopeless as His Majesty!
Thinking of this.

Lin Wan'er's little face couldn't help but a blush appeared, and her imagination once again flashed.

Prime Minister.

Under the squally rain.

Standing by the window in a long black dress, her pair of phoenix eyes looked at the swaying crabapple tree with a sentimental expression.

aside.

The little maid Tao'er seemed to see the woman's thoughts, and said softly: "Madam is homesick?"

He heard the crisp voice of the little maid.

Li Yaoyue looked away, sighed, and said in a deep voice, "I'm worried about Fang Xiu."

There was a hint of surprise in Tao'er's eyes, then she curled her lips and whispered: "I don't believe it."

Li Yaoyue looked at her, and said solemnly: "This kind of heavy rain, thunder and lightning, maybe a thunderbolt will fall and kill him, who will let me go when the time comes."

"."

Tao'er obviously didn't expect that Madam was thinking about these messy things just now.

Mouth slightly opened, a little surprised.

It took a while to come back to his senses, curled his lips and said: "How can Madam say that about Master."

Li Yaoyue sighed in her heart, her delicate melon-seeded face revealed a trace of resentment, and said, "If you were locked in the courtyard all day long, you would think the same way."

Tao'er said: "If the servant can be like Madam, who can study when she wants to, eat when she wants, doesn't have to do anything, doesn't have to think about anything, and is served as soon as she opens her eyes, then the servant is willing to be locked in the yard for the rest of her life. "

Hearing this, Li Yaoyue squinted at her.

Seeing this, Tao'er shrank her neck, and hurriedly said: "Of course, a servant girl is a maidservant's life from birth, and cannot be compared with Madam's daughter."

The ordinary words made Li Yaoyue startled slightly.

She turned her head to look at Tao'er, and suddenly realized that she had been with Tao'er day and night for more than half a year, but she knew nothing about her.

There was a few breaths of silence.

Li Yaoyue sat by the bed, looked at Tao'er, with curiosity in her eyes, and asked, "When did you enter the Xiangguo Mansion?"

Hearing this question, Tao'er was also taken aback, thought for a while, and replied: "I don't know either."

"do not know?"

Li Yaoyue's delicate face showed a puzzled expression.

Tao'er said: "This servant has been in the Xiangguo Mansion for as long as I can remember, at that time, this was not the Xiangguo Mansion, but the Minister's Mansion.

Later, the master's father passed away, and the plaque of the Minister's Mansion was changed to Fang's Mansion, and within a year it was changed to the Minister's Mansion, and not long after, it became Xiangguo's Mansion. "

Li Yaoyue fell silent when she heard this, and continued to ask after a while: "Then have you ever met your parents?"

"Of course I did."

Hearing this question, Tao'er looked a little strange, and said, "See you yesterday."

"."

Li Yaoyue was slightly taken aback.

It took a while to realize that Tao'er's parents were also servants of the Xiangguo Mansion.

"Madam, do you think that slaves were sold to Xiangguo's mansion when they were young?"

Tao'er looked at Li Yaoyue, with a smile on her face, and asked.

Li Yaoyue did not deny it, but nodded slightly.

Seeing this, Tao'er smiled and said: "Slaves are not that miserable. In fact, there are many maids who are like slaves in the house. They were servants of the house in the previous generation. When they are older and more sensible, they will be sent to the house. Take care of the young master or miss"

"So, you have never left the Prime Minister's Mansion for so many years?"

Li Yaoyue opened her red lips lightly and asked.

"Yes."

Tao'er nodded and replied.

Noticed Li Yaoyue's slightly sympathetic expression.

With a smile on her face, Tao'er said in a crisp voice:
"Actually, for slaves, being able to stay in the Xiangguo Mansion is already a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes. After all, there are still many people in the world who are extremely difficult to live.

Moreover, even being a servant, a servant of the Xiangguo Mansion, is better than being a servant of other mansions. The master is generous, and unless he makes a big mistake, he will not be punished easily.

During the holidays, the master will give a lot of money to the servants and servants, and he treats the servants and servants with a pleasant face on weekdays. You can't find such a master in Chang'an with a lantern. "

Li Yaoyue fell silent when she heard this.

She could feel that what Tao'er said came from the bottom of her heart, and Tao'er sincerely believed that being able to stay in Xiangguo's mansion for the rest of her life and serve others was a happy thing.

Such a thought, as proud as Li Yaoyue, cannot understand.

She could understand that Tao'er came from a humble background, so she could only choose to cling to the Xiangguo Mansion and live under the fence.

But she couldn't understand that being a servant who served others, she also got a lot of fun from it, and even felt happy and intoxicated.

at this time.

Tao'er spoke again:
"Madam is a princess, born with a body of ten thousand gold, surrounded by stars and moons, naturally can't understand the thoughts of slaves, just like slaves sometimes can't understand Madam, obviously as long as you bow your head to the master, you can get a lot, but why do you want to be with the master?" tit for tat"

Speaking of this, she stopped abruptly, lowered her head, and said in a low voice: "This servant is talking too much again."

Li Yaoyue looked up at her, sighed in her heart, and did not speak.

In fact.

As early as two months ago, she had made up her mind to let go of her pride and strive to leave Xiangguo's mansion as soon as possible.

During this time, she also did a lot, but to no avail.

Being dependent on others, everything depends on Fang Xiu's face.

Some things don't make sense.

That being the case, it is better to stay here with peace of mind and read more books, there is nothing wrong with it.

Li Yaoyue thought so, looked at Tao'er, and with the idea of ​​chatting, asked:
"If one day you could leave Xiangguo Mansion, where would you like to go?"

"The servant does not want to leave the Xiangguo Mansion."

Tao'er replied with a straight face.

Li Yaoyue thought for a while, and changed the way of asking:

"If Fang Xiu allows you to go out and play, where do you want to go?"

Hear the question.

Tao'er was lost in thought, and after a while, she replied with some longing: "I want to go to Gusu to have a look. I heard that there are many men who are good at dancing on the painting boats there, and all of them are extremely handsome."

"."

Hearing this, Li Yaoyue fell into silence, not knowing what to say for a while.

this moment.

She deeply felt that Tao'er and her seemed to be in a different world.

Boom boom boom!
at this time.

There was a knock on the door outside.

Followed by the crisp voice of the servant girl.

"Ma'am, someone sent a letter saying that it was from the master!"

Fang Xiu's reply?
Li Yaoyue was slightly startled, looked outside the door, and said, "Send it in."

"Yes, ma'am."

The maid opened the door and walked in, handing the letter to Li Yaoyue.

Li Yaoyue reached out to take it, opened it, and browsed from top to bottom.

Looking at it, her delicate face showed a strange color.

aside.

Tao'er observed the words and expressions, and instantly realized that the contents of the letter were extraordinary.

Wait for Li Yaoyue to read the letter.

After all, she couldn't hold back the curiosity in her heart, and asked impatiently: "Madam, what did the master say?"

Li Yaoyue was silent for a while, looked at Tao'er with a slightly complicated expression, and slowly uttered a sentence.

"Why did you never tell me that Fang Xiu's girlfriend is the Empress Qian?"
