A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 138 The Last Rival
Taohua curled her lips: "I don't think so, but seeing that it's getting so late, you should rest together, right?"

After staring at her for a while, Shen Zaiya said: "Do you want me to have a good rest, or do you need something to hug and sleep with?"

"If you can have the best of both worlds, why not do it?"

It sounded reasonable, Shen Zaye nodded, slowly took off his coat, and lay on the bed with her.

Taohua rolled over and hugged him as usual, as if nothing had happened between the two of them, warm and intimate.

Shen Zaye didn't close his eyes, looked at the top of the tent and thought for a while, then said in a low voice, "What did they tell you?"

"It's nothing." Taohua closed her eyes and buried her head on his shoulder: "It's just that I didn't know your plan to save my life, so I wronged you."

She still hated him, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding, so it was easy to deal with, and the two of them could continue to cooperate well.

"You didn't wrong me." Shen Zaiye lowered his eyes and said lightly, "I wanted to kill you."

The antidote was also hesitant for a long time before deciding to give her. He didn't take her seriously, but in the end, for some unknown reason, he made such a decision by accident.

Tao Hua was stunned, and curled her lips in displeasure: "Master, forgive me for speaking bluntly, things have become like this, can't you stop being so honest and coax me casually?"

"I coax you, will you believe it?" Shen Zaiye asked with squinting eyes.

After thinking about it seriously, Taohua shook her head.

"That's it." Closing his eyes, Shen Zaiye said indifferently: "You and I don't need to lie, we can guess each other's thoughts, so why bother to pretend so much."

That's it.

Taohua sighed: "I was a little moved by the concubine at first, thinking that you still miss the concubine at least in your heart, even if you wanted to kill the concubine, in the end your heart softened. I didn't expect that the master was just impulsive."

With a soft snort, Shen Zaiye turned his back to her and slept, but Taohua was like a brown candy, still hugging him from behind, smiling sweetly.

Although Shen Zaiye's words are not pleasant, but one sentence is true, they can guess each other's thoughts.

For example, she can see now that Shen Zaiye is being stubborn. In this game of swords, lights and swords, she is not the only one who enters the play.

Seeing that he is also feeling so uncomfortable, then she is happy, after all, it is not too ugly to lose.

Grinning, Taohua really likes to see him like a dead duck with a stiff mouth, which fully shows that her tactics of cultivating feelings are not without effect.

The mood is instantly comfortable!

"Qin Jieyu will be sentenced to death the day after tomorrow." Shen Zaiye said in a muffled voice with his eyes closed: "If Guanshi Xu can't let go, you can take her to watch the execution."

Slightly taken aback, Tao Hua raised her head to look at him: "You and Qin Tingwei want to break up?"

"not at all."

"Then..." Then why did he want to kill Qin Jieyu so happily?

"Murder pays for life. I overturned the case month by month on a whim a few days ago." Shen Zaiye said: "After so long, there should be a result."

Blinking and looking at the back of his head, Tao Hua turned over and rode on Shen Zaiye's body, pressed him to lie flat, and kissed him on the cheek: "Thank you, Lord!"

"Be honest and lie down." Shen Zaye opened his eyes, frowned and looked at her face: "Your body is worse than Lu Zhilan, so you should have a good life."

After a slight pause, Taohua smirked and went back to lie down next to him, thinking that if she had known that her death would allow him to do so many things, she should "die" earlier, maybe he could help her fulfill her last wish.

Because Duan Yunxin and Qin Jieyu were both members of the Prime Minister's family, they would not be executed at Caishikou.Jiang Taohua took Guanshi Xu to Sizong's mansion by car early in the morning, and watched the two men prostrate with their own eyes.

Liu's family was also there, and when the enemy died, Liu's mother sat on the ground and wept loudly.

"It's all revenge, why is she still crying so badly?" Qingmos whispered.

Taohua watched and sighed: "Because no matter how many times Duan dies, it won't help. Rather than watching the murderer punish him, what she wants more is for her daughter to come back to life."

The same was true for Mrs. Xu, who stood beside her with red eyes, watching people carry Qin Jieyu's body down, sobbing uncontrollably.

But she is sensible after all. After a while, she knelt down in front of Taohua and said sincerely: "Without a lady, I can't avenge the month-to-month revenge. From now on, I am willing to be sent by my lady. You must do your best.”

"Okay." Taohua nodded: "I have a favor for you right now."

Manager Xu raised his head, looked at her seriously and said, "Young lady, please tell me."

It's been a long time since I went back to the prime minister's mansion, but the changes in the backyard are not small.Gu Qingying and Nangong Qin were promoted as wives. They are also the daughters of the Jiuqing family, but they are both concubines. Judging by Shen Zaiye's intention of wooing, the two adults behind must have not yet chosen a master.

King Yu has passed away, and there are only three princes left in the court. King Heng has the heart to seize the throne, but he will do something important, so he is stared to death by the prince.On the other hand, Nanwang started to show his talents in front of the emperor smoothly and win favor.

According to this development, Shen Zaiye will soon use the cover of helping the prince to win over the three princes and nine ministers, and then find an opportunity to seize the position of the prince.

However, there is still the biggest trouble in this backyard - Mei Zhaoxue.

Mei Fengchang is the head of the nine ministers and the one who supported Mu Wuyin from the very beginning. With her in charge of the backyard of the prime minister's mansion, communicating with other people, the people in the backyard may not be able to help Shen Zaiye wholeheartedly.

She has to pry off the wife's seat, but she can't imitate Duan's tricks, after all, she has played too many tricks, and she will always get herself in in the end.

The first criterion for being a wife is status. Although her false name as a princess is useless, it is still a status, which can barely be called.The second is to deal with people, the main room must be magnanimous to win the hearts of the people, she can naturally do this.The third is to look at Shen Zaiye. As long as she achieves the first two points, Shen Zaiye will naturally cooperate with her, so don't worry.

The first thing Guanshi Xu wanted to do for her was to walk around the courtyards, say good things about her, and finally invite these maidservants one by one to come to Zhengchun Pavilion for a chat.

Only Manager Xu can do this, because the people who enter the mansion have learned the rules from her, so they are naturally familiar with them.Acquaintances are easy to talk to, plus she is a very favored lady, with the bridge of Manager Xu, no one will not go to Zhengchun Pavilion.

It's just that the people who come here inevitably have their own ghosts.

"I've seen Mrs. Jiang." The new Gu clan and Nangong clan went forward to salute, one was as bright as the morning glow, the other was as clear as the evening breeze, and Tao Hua couldn't help but sigh: "Our master is really lucky."

"Isn't the best blessing of the Lord is to have Mrs. Jiang?" Gu Qingying smiled, and sat beside her and said, "Before, we were not able to take a good look at the beauty of the lady because of the different identities. Now that I see it, I finally understand Why is the lady the most favored by the master?"

They are all talking, and the atmosphere in the room is very harmonious.Gu Huairou smiled and said, "Isn't it? As soon as Mrs. Jiang came back, my master finally seemed to be in a good mood, and he was willing to walk in the backyard."

"Sigh." Taohua sighed: "I am not blessed, and I am pitied by the Lord, but my health is not good. This time I went to the mountain to recuperate, but it didn't work, and I couldn't bear much favor."

"Why?" Nangong Qin asked curiously: "What kind of disease is my lady suffering from?"

Glancing at them, Tao Hua pursed her lips, with a sad expression on her face: "I treat you as sisters, that's why I told you this, you must not spread it."

"Okay." Everyone nodded: "Elder sister, just say it, and the younger sisters promise to rot everything you say in their stomachs."

After hesitating for a while, Tao Hua beckoned them all to enter the inner room, sat on the edge of the bed and formed a circle, then whispered: "I'm not in good health, I'm afraid it will be difficult to conceive an heir."

Taking a breath, the three women stared at her with wide eyes: "How could this happen?!"

Once a woman can't bear children, what's the use of it?
With a wry smile, Tao Hua half covered her face and said, "My Lord also knew about it, so he sent me to the mountain to seek a doctor, but...the doctor said that there is really no way, I can only resign myself to fate."

The words Gu Huairou said earlier caused the other two people to react a little bit, after all, no one wanted Xiangye's heart to fall on others.But as soon as they heard this, they instantly ignored everything in their hearts, and their eyes were full of sympathy.

Gu Qingying also comforted: "Master knows that you are barren and treats you so well. Sister should be happy."

"Yes." Nangong Qin said: "Even if you can't have children, it's good to have grace."

"How long can a man's favor last without the guarantee of a child?" Taohua wiped her eyes sadly: "I'm still young and beautiful, and I still have two cents of capital. But in the future...maybe it will How miserable."

Gu Huairou frowned tightly: "Is there nothing the doctor can do?"

"No more." Sighing, Taohua raised her eyes to look at them: "Madam Mei has a good saying, it is not easy to live in this yard relying on men, only women help each other. I mind giving you a hand. But are you willing to give me a hand when I am down in the future?"

What a deal, who wouldn't want it?Gu Qingying and Nangongqin agreed immediately.Gu Huairou stared at her for a long time, and said with regret in his eyes, "Why is your life so rough?"

"Is there any way?" Taohua lowered her head and stroked her cuffs: "It's all arranged by the heavens, and struggling is useless."

"Okay." Gu Huairou nodded: "Then I will help you in the future. Although I can't help you regain favor, it's okay to let you live comfortably."

Gratefully looking at her, Tao Hua nodded with a smile, then looked at the two ladies next to her: "Since you have agreed, then I will go and tell the Lord that we are all exposed to rain and dew, and no one can do without it."

"Young lady." Gu Qingying said with a smile, "Thank you very much."

Nangong Qin nodded, she didn't say much, but the look in her eyes was more sincere.
