A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 22
Pretty cautious?Shen Zaiye raised his eyebrows: "Then what do you think is the proper proof?"

After inquiring about this early in the morning, Taohua said directly: "I heard that the master has a very precious jade pendant, can you put it here for the time being? Once the concubine dies because of the master's actions, then the jade pendant will die, how about it? "

Shen Zaiye's face sank immediately, the arc of his chin was tense, and the light in the room dimmed a lot in an instant.

"no!"

Taohua was startled, she didn't expect him to have such a big reaction, she subconsciously shrank her shoulders: "Why?"

The person in front of the bed lowered his eyes, his expression was rather displeased: "I will never leave that jade pendant, you can change it to something else."

"...Oh, then, don't get excited." Looking at him, Taohua said cautiously: "If the jade pendant is not good, just change it for money. You bet 1 taels of gold with Nanwang. Once the concubine dies due to your actions Now, the gold will belong to the concubine, okay?"

The hostility subsided a little, and Shen Zaiye looked at her strangely: "You are dead, who do you want to give the money to?"

"There will always be someone asking for it for me, so don't worry about me." Taohua smiled: "1 taels of gold is not a small amount. As far as I know, Xiangye's annual salary is only 50 taels of gold. Of course, The other income must be a lot of money, and the concubine is not worried that the master will not be able to spend it."

He could take it out, but he was still upset at being calculated by a woman like this: "Your life is worth so much money?"

"The concubine will prove to the master that the business only makes money and does not lose. After half a year, if the concubine is still alive, the gold will be returned to you in its original amount, which is fair and just."

Shen Zaiye didn't have any objection to putting it in Nanwang's place. Anyway, even if there was no such agreement, he would still let it go.This condition was not painful or itchy to him, but he did not agree to it outright, but glanced up and down Jiang Taohua, as if evaluating the price.

Taohua straightened her back, her complexion was pale but she did not lose her momentum, her eyes told him firmly: This old lady is worth the price!

"Since we want to cooperate, we need mutual trust between the two parties." Shen Zaye stretched out his hand and gently put his arms around her neck: "I can agree to your request, and you should also be of good use to me. Don't try to think about it any more."

"Don't worry, Lord." Tao Hua said, "I'm very reliable."

"Since it's reliable, why do you still try to use coquetry on me?" His eyes sank, and the hand on her neck tightened slightly, and Shen Zaiye said with a half-smile: "I don't see too beautiful things, I want to pinch them with my own hands." Broken, do you want to try it?"

With a jump in her heart, Tao Hua quickly retracted her posture, and shook her head in horror: "No need, no need, please calm down! I promise to get rid of this habit in front of you when I am born!"

Habit?She simply tried to control him every time she saw him, looking for his weakness.If it's a habit, it's too scary.

With a soft snort, Shen Zaiye let go of her, saw her shrugging her shoulders obediently, and said angrily: "I'll get someone to write a contract for you later, and then send the gold to the Nanwang Mansion, so you can take a good rest. "

"Father!"

Seeing that he wanted to get up and leave, Taohua hurriedly called to him: "Master, do you think it's enough for me to be an ordinary woman in this backyard?"

Glancing at her sideways, Shen Zaiye crossed his arms and said, "What else do you want?"

"My concubine feels that the master gave me the gold readily, and I feel a little sorry for you if I lie down like this." Tao Hua said with a smile: "The matter of King Jing, the master has not settled it yet, right?"

With a tense expression, Shen Zaiye looked at her deeply: "What do you know?"

"You don't have to be nervous. Not many people know what you want to do." Jiang Taohua pursed her lips and said calmly: "Even if I know it, I won't say a word. Now it's yours, and it's more It will only help you, not harm you."

Shen Zaiye looked at her suspiciously, and slowly clenched the hands under his arms.

Taohua acted as if she didn't feel the murderous intent, and said calmly, "King Jing is now the most beloved prince of the Holy Majesty. If I want to get involved in the dispute for the heir, I must start with him. Earlier, I wanted to exchange my concubine's death for King Jing." Get suspicious of the emperor, and then win King Jing's heart. From this step, I can understand what the Lord's attitude is towards King Jing."

First pull them together, then act as a stepping stone, and finally kick them away.

Shen Zaiye's disguise is excellent. With the current situation, people outside may think that he is beginning to lean towards King Jing, and the court should gradually start to call for King Lijing to be the prince.King Jing wanted to win him over with all his heart, so he had no guard against him, so Shen Zaiye's move had a great chance of winning.

"My concubine ruined your business, the master must still be a little annoyed. Why don't I let my concubine make up for it?"

What a big tone!Shen Zaiye sneered: "What do you think can be done so easily? There is only one chance, and if it's gone, it's gone. What can you make up for?"

Feeling a little dizzy, Taohua stretched out her hand to rub it, and her breath became weaker: "Forgive me for speaking bluntly, the master's plan last time was probably a little hasty, and there were many mistakes. Even if King Jing really killed my concubine because of hatred, at the emperor's place At most, you will be scolded, and the rift will not be too deep. And it is inevitable that you will be suspicious."

"The concubine has a way to make the emperor suspicious of King Jing's behavior, and it won't involve you in the slightest."

Shen Zaiya paused, and the murderous intent in his eyes lessened slightly: "What method?"

"Wait for the concubine to rest for a while, wake up and then report. After all, I will do what I say. After all, it is a matter of life." With an ugly pale face, Taohua forced a smile at him, lay down flat, and closed it with a frown. Eye.

Shen Zaye: "..."

This was the first time someone could whet his appetite. How could this woman know so many things when she was new here?It seems that he knows everything about himself, the backyard of the prime minister's mansion, and even the affairs of the court.

How to do it?
Stretching out his hand to poke her between the eyebrows, seeing the slap-sized face completely devoid of blood, the balance sinking in Ye Ye's heart still couldn't help but tilt slightly to the side of "leave her".

It's a pity that such a powerful woman died, right?

If she could really settle King Jing's affairs, then...he would have no reason to kill her.

Thinking of her injury, Shen Zaiye reached out to lift the quilt, thinking that there should be some scabs today.As a result, the quilt was lifted, and without taking off her top, she saw blood red spots on the white pajamas.

His face darkened, and Shen Zaiye shouted in a low voice: "Zhan Lu, call the medical girl and the doctor!"

"Yes."

Qingmoss raised her head and took a look, her heart was tense, she didn't care about the rules, she hurriedly stepped forward to gently remove Taohua's clothes, untied the gauze and took a look.

"It must have been torn when I sat up!" Eyes red with anxiety, Moss glanced at Shen Zaiye as if complaining: "Can't the master let the master lie down and talk? This wound is so hard..."

Shen Zaiye pursed his lips: "She tried to sit up by herself, but is it also my fault?"

Don't take the blame!It was clearly Jiang Taohua who was stupid!

Qingmo opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything, so she turned around and prepared all the medicines, waiting for the doctor and the nurse to re-bandage her.

Shen Zaiye leaned aside and watched for a while, and when the nurse and doctor arrived, he took Zhanlu out.

"Is there still room in Zhengchun Pavilion?"

Zhanlu nodded: "The side hall is empty."

"Well, then I'll rest in the side hall tonight, and just tell the outside world that Master Xiang took care of Mrs. Jiang all night."

Zhanlu was a little surprised and looked up at him: "You are not working with Lady Jiang..."

"During the cooperation, she should reflect her value, otherwise why should I agree to her terms?" Shen Zaye chuckled: "Jiang Taohua's life is very hard, you don't have to worry about her."

With a jump in his heart, Zhanlu shook his head like a rattle, and said in horror, "Don't worry, slave!"

"Just teasing you, don't worry." Shen Zaye glanced at him and sighed: "Jiang's appearance is beautiful, and indeed few men can resist it."

He wouldn't find it strange that men other than him were attracted to her.

Zhanlu tensed his skin, and quietly looked at his master's eyes, feeling uncertain for the first time.Ordinarily, the master said this lightly, and it really didn't look like he was going to ask for guilt, but the aura emanating from his body was a little weird.

Shen Zaiye didn't care about him, he washed and rested after entering the side hall, and didn't bother about the situation in the main room anymore.

Taohua's injuries were severe, and once the wound opened, the doctor and the nurse had to work for another two hours before retreating.

After a night's rest, she opened her eyes, and in front of her was Shen Zaiye's fake smiling face again.

"Get up and have porridge."

Smiling feebly, Tao Hua looked at him and said, "Is it true that you are free?"

"Not idle, it's just that you didn't finish what you said yesterday, which made me miss it." Looking at her condescendingly, Shen Zaiye said: "When you make it clear, I should go to court early."

Closing his eyes, Tao Hua said: "Master, just tell me what the emperor is most taboo about. What I want to do is my own business. Is the master still a person who likes to watch the process?"

Taboo of the emperor?
Glancing at her, Shen Zaiye said: "If you don't tell me the specific plan, how do I know that you won't drag down my prime minister's residence?"

"I don't need to do things in the name of the Prime Minister's Mansion." Tao Hua said: "Out of this Prime Minister's Mansion, not many people in Dawei recognize me, so what are you worried about?"

It seems to be the same reason. The only ones who have seen her face now are Nan Wang and him, and King Jing has never seen her face either.

After thinking for a while, Shen Zaye said: "The emperor is most afraid of princes who don't know how to measure and act impulsively. Therefore, King Jing has always been prudent and never violated the rules."

"I understand." Taohua nodded: "After two more days of recuperation, the wound will heal better, and I will go to do things for the master."

two days?Shen Zaiye smiled: "You doctor said that you won't be able to get out of bed for half a month."

"Master, can you wait for half a month?"

"Can't wait."

"Then it's over." Taohua chuckled: "I don't care what the concubine wants to do, I just wait and see the final result."

People like them don't care about how difficult and dangerous the process is, but only look at the outcome of success or failure.
