A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 18
"Yes." Zhan Lu agreed, and walked out with his master.

The backyard has always been calm, because Shen Zaiye didn't have the extra energy to deal with women before, so he made a set of rules, and everything followed the rules, no matter how much thought he had, he couldn't make any waves.

But the situation is different now, most of the officials in the court are loyal to his mansion, and all the things that should be mastered are already in his hands, so it is time to disturb the water in this pool, so as to take the opportunity to get better things.

Originally, Jiang Taohua should have died with King Jing, so that he could gradually stir up the conflict between the emperor and King Jing, trying to make King Jing rely on him, trust him, and finally be used by him.

But it's a pity, he lost his sight, this woman Jiang Taohua was beyond his expectation, not only did she not die, she even used Nan Wang to save her life!If his plan was disrupted by her, she would have to pay the corresponding price.

Living should also be useful.

With deep eyes, Shen Zaiye saw the gate of Zhengchun Pavilion opened wide in front of him, and stepped in.

The yard was peaceful, Tao Hua was sleeping in the main room, and the maid next to her looked normal, as if nothing had happened.

Shen Zaiye felt a little strange, since Gu Shi came here to act wildly, according to common sense, Jiang Taohua's servant girl should come forward to complain when she saw him, right?What does this stand still mean?
"Why don't you sleep on the bed?" Glancing at the person on the soft couch, he lifted his robe and sat down beside the bed, stretched out his hand and squeezed Tao Hua's wrist: "Such a serious injury, why are you still trying to move your position?"

Qingmos lowered her head and said, "Master feels uncomfortable sleeping on the bed."

"Uncomfortable?" Shen Zaye raised his head, looking at Qingmos with dark eyes: "Do you think this reason is reasonable?"

The moss is silent, and the eyes are lowered to act as pillars.

The atmosphere in the room was a little weird for a moment.

Zhanlu stood aside wondering.Mrs. Jiang was surprised, and so were the maids around her. She didn't seize the opportunity to sue Mrs. Gu in front of the Prime Minister at this time. What are you waiting for?Now that she doesn't speak, what excuse should my master find to convict Gu Shi?
Right now is the time when Mrs. Jiang is in the limelight, and any good minister will take good care of her and give her supreme favor.If it were any other woman, she would definitely be very happy, and then she would be a little bit arrogant and step on other people's feet with small things.But now that Mrs. Gu has come to make trouble, but Mrs. Jiang has not made a move. Could it be that she is a dignified princess, or a soft bun?
"I'm afraid someone came here just now." Shen Zaye suddenly opened his mouth and said something lightly.

Qingmo looked up at him, raised her eyebrows slightly: "How did Master know?"

"Her clothes have been changed." He stretched out his hand, pinched the end of Taohua's hair and twisted it: "The hair is still a little wet, it must be someone who doesn't have eyes that splashed water on the master, the bed is probably not dry, so Let her move somewhere."

Slightly startled, Qingmos glanced at her master with a little confidence.

This man is a bit powerful, she thought she would be fine if she didn't speak, but she didn't expect him to be able to guess it.Now that the master is in a coma, no one tells her what to do next.

"You are so courageous as a maid?" Zhan Lu frowned: "If you pour water on the master, according to the rules, you will have to hit ten boards!"

Qing Moss was taken aback, then shook her head subconsciously: "It wasn't a servant who threw it."

"It's not you, who is that?" Shen Zaiye said: "If you point it out, you will punish the person who poured water. But if you can't point it out, then you can go to the backyard and get ten boards."

"This……"

Qingmoss was a little flustered, she was pure-minded, she would only do things according to her master's orders, how could she play against Shen Zaiye, a wily and calculating man?Anyway, the master only said not to say superfluous words, but he didn't say that he couldn't even tell the truth... Then, why don't you say something?

In the choice between keeping her own butt or someone else's butt, Qingmos decided to choose her own butt.

"Ms. Gu came here just now." She took a deep breath and said honestly: "Ms. Gu wanted to help take care of the master, but she didn't expect to lose strength in her hands, so she poured water on the master. I didn't care about it, so the slaves never reported to Xiangye."

The maid hiding in the closet in the inner room listened to this and nodded slightly, thinking that Mrs. Jiang's master and servant are quite kind, and she really didn't sue Mrs. Gu, and helped to make the big issue smaller.

But who knows, as soon as Qing Moss finished speaking, Shen Zaiye slapped the couch with a sudden slap, causing Tao Hua to frown in her dream.

"Ridiculous! Jiang Shi is seriously injured, and she still comes to make trouble?"

Moss was shocked, and if she had her master's words as a foreshadowing, she was still taken aback by Shen Zaiye's exaggerated reaction.

I have always thought that Xiangye is a gentle and refined man, tall and tall, with a personable demeanor, but I didn't expect to be so scary when angry.The sword eyebrows are cold, and the eyes seem to be covered with frost. The coldest snow wind in winter blows across the whole face in an instant, and anyone who looks at it will shudder.

However, looking at it this way, this face is really pretty, the outline is like an ice sculpture, and the knives and knives are superbly crafted...

Stretching out her hand to pinch herself, Qingmo shuddered, quickly came back to her senses, knelt down and said: "Master Xiang calmed down, the master said he didn't care about it, Madam Gu is also kind."

"What is Gu's temperament, can you know better than me?" Shen Zaiye sneered: "I don't know when she will be sensible. If it is someone else, it will be fine. The same is true for Taohua. It seems that it is time to set a rule for her. .”

Qingmo pursed her lips, knelt down and said nothing, thinking that her master's calculations were really accurate, Gu's will inevitably be treated as a chicken to scare monkeys this time, and killed by the people in the yard.

Stretching out his hand to tuck the corner of the peach blossom quilt, Shen Zaiye got up, and said to Qingmo in a deep voice: "You take care of your master, if anyone comes to disturb her rest, you just say it's my order, and you will give the gift outside." Go, don't enter the main house."

"Yes."

"Zhanlu, let's go."

Bowing and nodding, Zhan Lu followed his master and stepped out of the Zhengchun Pavilion, without asking any questions, he went directly to Wenqing Pavilion.

Gu Huairou was sitting on the soft couch in a daze, thinking over and over again what Jiang Taohua said.

She went to Zhengchun Pavilion not only because of the old account of the Martial Academy last time, but also because of the Liu family.

Liu said: "Jiang is good at charm, similar to you, but even better than you. With pearls, who would care about fish eyes? Sister should also plan for herself earlier, don't wait until the favor is snatched away. , I just remembered struggling."

Reminiscing about the fact that Master Xiang didn't favor her that night, Gu's heart inevitably felt a little nervous, and then seeing that Master sent someone into the palace to invite an imperial doctor for Jiang's evening, he became a little angry at the moment, and went to the house as soon as his head got hot I went to pick trouble in the yard.

Calm down and think about it, what Jiang Taohua said is not unreasonable, there are many people who hide their secrets in this yard, and there are quite a few people who are jealous, why is she the only one who rushed out?

Although she didn't believe that Master Xiang would punish her severely for such a trivial matter, but...was she really being used?

It's impossible to think about it, Liu Shi is her handkerchief, so many years of relationship, how could she hurt herself?

Just as I was struggling, there was a sudden loud noise at the gate of the yard, as if someone had kicked the door open.

Startled, Gu stood up and frowned, "Yuetao, what are you doing?"

Yue Tao ran in in small steps, and before she could wink, Shen Zaiye strode past her and stood directly in front of her.

"...Master?" Startled by his expression, Gu fell back on the soft couch without standing still, and stared at him blankly: "What's wrong with you? You're so angry."

"What's wrong with me, don't you know?" Shen Zaiye looked at her with lowered eyes: "What good thing have you done?"

With a "thud" in her heart, she subconsciously opened her mouth and said, "Ms. Jiang really complained?"

Shen Zaiye didn't answer, his expression of anger was undisguised, he threw the teacup with his hand, and the broken pieces of tea splashed all over the place, shocking all the servant girls to their knees, and Gu Huairou almost lost his seat.

"Ms. Jiang is married from Zhao Guoyuan. You really don't know how to behave like this!" After scolding in a low voice, Shen Zaiye said coldly: "If her injury is aggravated by you, then you are to blame! If everyone learns how vicious you are, there will be no peace! If you are not punished today, there will be no rules in this mansion!"

"Master!" Gu Huairou was angry and wronged: "I haven't done anything excessive!"

"Isn't it too much to pour cold water all over Jiang's body?" Shen Zaye sneered: "Is it too much to kill someone? She was seriously injured and almost died, and she finally recovered. What if this basin of water makes her infected again?" What should I do if the wind-cold condition worsens?"

"Concubine..."

"In the past, you made a lot of small moves in this yard. I thought you were not bad, so I didn't take it to heart. Now it seems that you are really selfish and capricious, and you have a vicious heart!" Interrupting her words with a wave of his hand, Shen Zaiye said : "You don't need to say any more, there are no rules in this mansion, although you and Jiang are both ladies, but you bully the weak and violate the virtue of tolerance and dignity, you will be fined for three months, and the dormitory card will be withdrawn." Half a year."

Taking a deep breath, Gu Huairou's eyes widened, full of disbelief, thinking that she had heard wrong.

She entered the prime minister's mansion very early, she is still a lady, and has always been favored by the prime minister. How could it be... How could it be possible that she could not sleep for half a year because of such a trivial matter?
"Is it a bit heavy?" Zhan Lu asked softly.

Shen Zaiye shook his head, his eyes darkened and said: "If Taohua hadn't said that he didn't want to care about it, there would be things heavier than this."

Her throat tightened, and it took Gu Huairou a long while to recover her voice, and tears flooded down her face: "Master, I have been serving you by your side for so long, in your heart, is it really that inferior to Jiang's?"

Shen Zaye raised his chin, his eyes were dim, and he looked at her for a while, but walked out without answering.

His appearance made Gu's more uncomfortable than answering it. It was not only worse, but he didn't even bother to explain.

Sitting down from the soft couch, Gu Huairou watched Shen Zaye's back disappear outside the door, and finally couldn't help crying.
