A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 23

To do things for this kind of person, you don't need to emphasize how hard you have worked hard, just do things well.

"You are full of confidence." Putting the porridge aside, Shen Jaeye looked at her and said, "Don't blame me for not reminding you, King Jing is cautious and not easy to deal with."

"Thank you for your concern. Two days later, I will leave the mansion in the name of visiting the capital, and I hope you will allow me."

"Okay." Shen Zaye nodded, without asking any further questions, turned around and sat down at the table, had breakfast, and then went into the palace.

The three days passed quickly, but Shen Zaiye had no intention of leaving Zhengchun Pavilion. Every day, he personally fed Jiang's food and medicine, and took good care of him.

On the third day, an order was issued that Wen Qingge's monthly fee would not be deducted, it was just a matter of serving the bed, and it was still to see the mood of the prime minister.

"What's going on here?" Qin Jieyu was surprised: "Not only did Mrs. Gu not make trouble, but Mrs. Jiang pleaded for her instead? Both of them have their brains caught by the door?"

Mei Zhaoxue washed the tea set, and said softly: "Some people think she is stupid, but she is actually smart. Mrs. Gu was fined once, maybe she knew it hurt, so she gave in to Mrs. Jiang."

"Wouldn't that mean there's no show?" Qin was rather displeased: "These three days have passed, and Duan Yunxin and Meng Zhenzhen haven't seen any movement, which makes me happy for nothing."

"What are you in a hurry for?" Mei Zhaoxue washed a white porcelain teacup, and put it gently on the table: "Taste tea slowly, and life should be passed slowly. There is no movement now because it is not the time, when the time comes , the movement will not be small."

Qin frowned, a little unable to hold back, but seeing that his wife was so calm, she suppressed her temper and continued to wait patiently.

It's not that the Meng family and the Duan family who have been robbed of their favours don't complain, it's just that the current master values ​​Jiang family so much, and Jiang family has no chance to make mistakes, so they dare not take any action.

Duan Yunxin is also an old man who has come in since the opening of the mansion, she is very calm.But Meng Zhenzhen has been in the mansion for less than three months, she is young and vigorous, so she will inevitably get angry in the house behind closed doors.

"Why does she ask Master to dote on her like this?" Meng Zhenzhen looked at her maid with choked up tears while pinching the handkerchief, "It's only been a long time since I entered the mansion, am I about to fall out of favor?"

The maid, Cai Ling, patted her on the back lightly, "You are not out of favor, it's just that Jiang's tricks are so good that he disrupted the rules of the house."

"I'm living a good life, why did such an evildoer come out!" Meng Shi was extremely wronged, but her eyes were extremely resentful: "You let people watch that yard closely, and if there is any movement, please come and tell me immediately!"

"Your servant has already ordered you to go down." Cailing said, "There are people guarding at midnight, so you don't have to worry."

Meng Shi nodded, the handkerchief in her hand was almost torn, staring at a certain corner of the room, her eyes were out of focus, but with a bit of ruthlessness.

Another day later, Jiang Taohua's wound finally healed, she managed to get out of bed and took two steps, but was still so dizzy that she wanted to sit down.

"How's King Jing's inquiry going?" she asked.

Qingmosao said: "Today, King Jing has an appointment with King Yu, and he will go to Fuyun Tower in the near future. The prime minister has sent the map of the capital of the Great Wei Kingdom, and the servant has drawn the route from King Jing's Mansion to Fuyun Tower. Please have a look."

After receiving the map, Taohua lay on her stomach on the table, lightly stroking the lines on the map with her fingers, her eyes full of thought.

"Get dressed for me."

Qingmo was stunned: "You can't even stand upright now, do you really plan to go out alone?"

"Take you with me, it's unreasonable. If you don't trust me, you can follow me in the dark." Tao Hua said with a smile: "In case I die on the street, no one will collect the body."

"Master!" Qingmos face darkened: "Since you know the danger, why do you insist on taking this risk?!"

"I'm just kidding, don't be nervous, be good." Taohua hurriedly took her hand and shook it gently: "Death is definitely not going to die. In the past two days, the body has been recovering quickly. It's not a problem. If you don't take risks, you will die sooner or later, and you will have to be buried with me."

"To be buried with you is to be buried with you!" Qing Moss' eyes were red: "It's better than letting you struggle between life and death alone."

Taohua couldn't help but look at her with gentle eyes: "Fool, you can value friendship, but you can't put the cart before the horse. When you and I can both survive, why should we die together?"

Qingmoss was at a loss for words, and stomped her feet in discouragement: "Anyway, the servants can't say no to you, you're right!"

"Since you can't say it, then be obedient." Looking at her with a smile, Tao Hua got up and sat down at the dressing table, and began to make up her pale face: "Bring out that moonlight and clear lotus sarong."

"...Yes." Moss answered in a muffled voice, and Qingmos found a skirt, and waited for her master to change her clothes after finishing her makeup.

"Does this make you look sick?" Taohua opened her hands and looked down at herself.

Qingmoss shook her head: "I can't tell, your makeup is also very appropriate, just like an ordinary folk girl."

"Okay!" Nodding in satisfaction, Taohua turned around and walked out.

Shen Zaiye had already allowed her to leave the house, so the carriage was waiting at the side door.As soon as Jiang Taohua went up, there was a house slave at the door to report to Shen Zaiye.

He said he was going to go to court, but this master stayed in the mansion without moving. He put on his cloak and went outside after seeing someone coming to report: "Come and see, just in case."

Zhanlu said inexplicably: "Why do you follow in person? The servant can just send someone."

"She's going to deal with King Jing." Shen Zaiye glanced at him: "What's the use of you going to watch? Something went wrong, can you make it right?"

It seems to be the same reason, Zhanlu nodded, and followed his master out obediently.

King Jing's carriage departed from the palace a quarter before the end of the hour. Taohua calculated the route. He would always pass Echo Alley, so he waited at the entrance of the alley.

Echo Lane is on the south side of the capital, and there are mostly singing clubs and gambling halls in it. The largest underground money houses and gambling houses in the capital are all here, so the people coming and going are unavoidably messy.

The Qinglili girl stopped at the entrance of the alley, and many people looked over in an instant.The bold ones stepped forward to tease:

"Little girl, are you short of money? Why don't you go drink with your brothers?"

Taohua raised her head, and her timid eyes were particularly endearing.His shoulders shrank, like an innocent little white rabbit, and he stepped back while holding the corner of his skirt.

The hearts of all the onlookers skipped a beat. This pretty woman is probably not inferior to He Feng Wu's top card. How could she stand here alone?
"You...you don't come here." A pair of almond eyes opened wide, instantly filled with tears.Tao Hua stood against the wall, her face full of fear.

Looking at this scene, anyone would feel unbearable and want to pull this girl into his arms and cherish her.The people who passed by were planning to take a look at the excitement, but as long as they glanced at her, they couldn't move anymore.Such stunning beauty, yet so pitiful, like a picture of a fairy, makes one unable to take one's eyes away.

"It's a really good job."

Seeing more and more people gathering at the entrance of the alley, which had already started to block the street, Shen Zaiye, who was sitting in the teahouse opposite, sneered, held his teacup but didn't drink.

Zhanlu tensed up all over, feeling that strange feeling from his master reappeared.I looked at the expression, but I couldn't tell whether he was happy or unhappy.

"What is Lady Jiang planning to do?" He asked cautiously.

There were only the two of them in the empty teahouse, and Shen Zaiye had no scruples, and said indifferently: "She wants to block King Jing's way."

The bold and confident approach of using beauty to block people's way really made him at a loss for what to say.

King Jing's carriage was sealed on all sides, if he was not allowed to get out of the carriage, he would definitely not be able to see her.It was understandable for Jiang Taohua to do so, but what he was even more curious about was, what did this man plan to do when he saw King Jing?
In the future, the entrance of Echo Alley and the streets beside it were crowded with men of all kinds, and the scene was extremely spectacular.A yamen servant received the news and wanted to chase away people, but Shen Zaiye directly asked Zhan Lu to stop him.

So Jiang Taohua blocked King Jing very smoothly.

"What happened in front?" Mu Wuyin raised the curtain of the car and asked with a frown.

The guards around hurriedly stepped forward to inquire, came back and cupped their hands and said: "These people seem to be watching a woman."

"What kind of woman deserves so many people to block the way?" Mu Wuqian said impatiently, "Let someone clear the way, I'm in a hurry."

"Yes." The guard responded, and just turned around to give an order, but saw the crowd step aside one after another, and a figure stumbled out.

"Who is it!" The guards in front hurriedly stopped her.

With this scolding, Prince Jing, who was about to put down the curtain of the car, looked over.

Taohua shrank back, glanced at the guard's knife in a panic, and quickly retreated into the crowd.As soon as she retreated, the people behind wanted to come up and pull her.

"Please let me go!" She struggled with sobs and said, "The little girl is just looking for something, she has no enmity with you..."

The voice was as crisp as a warbler in the valley, and the lotus skirt was very beautiful. King Jing was stunned, opened the curtain of the car and walked down.

"Who are you?"

The guard quickly stepped aside, and the people around also retreated one after another.Taohua fell down on the road, and raised her eyes to look at him when she heard the sound: "Little... little girl is a newcomer to Guidi, she didn't make any mistakes, she didn't do anything..."

"take it easy."

Her appearance is very similar to the deer he chased on the hunting ground last year. Her eyes are clear and full of panic, which makes people feel distressed.Mu Wuyin's expression suddenly became very gentle, he lowered his body to look at her and asked, "Where's your family?"

Taohua flattened her mouth and said in a crying voice: "I got separated."

"Then where are you going?"

Carefully looking at him, Taohua pursed her lips: "I'm waiting for Daddy here, he took my hairpin into this alley, and told me to wait here."

in the alley?Mu Wuyin raised his head, feeling a little angry for a moment, but he didn't say anything, he just gently pulled her up: "Then... I'll take you to find him, how about it?"

"..." Half a cup of tea was spilled on the opposite teahouse.

Zhanlu looked at Shen Zaye on the opposite side in surprise, glanced at his expression, and finally understood a little this time.

My master seemed to be angry, his face was so dark that he didn't know if it was because of his miscalculation, or something else.
