A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 55 The Price You Must Pay

Can you buy jewelry in the woods on the outskirts of the city?Shen Zaiye sneered, walked out with a flick of his sleeves, and asked Zhanlu as he walked, "Do you know what's going on?"

"The news hasn't come back yet, but as far as I know, Miss Qingmoss hired someone in your name in the government yamen early in the morning." Zhanlu frowned and said, "Since I hired someone, why bother you to go there in person?" trip?"

Shen Zaiye was silent, his mind was spinning quickly, and suddenly he remembered something - King Jing seemed to have gone out of the city today to investigate on the Xishan side.

His face darkened, and he murmured in a low voice, "Won't we meet?"

He absolutely didn't want these two people to meet, but besides King Jing, he couldn't figure out who else would make her helpless enough to invite him over.As long as the situation has a little room for turning around, with Jiang Taohua's cleverness, she will definitely escape by herself.

Striding out the door, Shen Zaiye didn't look at the carriage at the door, got on the BMW and galloped out of the city.

King Jing couldn't help himself, he immediately picked up Taohua and put him on his horse.

"Your Excellency!" Tao Hua was a little anxious: "You are robbing a woman from a good family, isn't it appropriate?"

King Jing turned over and sat behind her, hugged her into his arms with a smile: "Is it a robbery? You don't want to follow me?"

"Although the nobleman seems to be powerful, he should be a noble status like a prince." Swallowing, Taohua said pitifully, "But the little girl just wants to live an ordinary life."

"This is really rare." King Jing smiled lightly, and whispered in her ear: "If you were any other woman, you would have been very happy, but this king just likes you who don't admire wealth and honor."

"..." My old lady can't change it!Tao Hua was roaring in her heart, trying to struggle, but King Jing was strong and strong, so she was no match at all.

Qingmoss looked very anxious, she hid behind the pile of stones and stomped her feet, she wanted to throw a stone at King Jing's hand, but he held her master in front of her, so she didn't dare to act rashly.

Why isn't Xiangye here yet?
As soon as I cursed a few words in my heart, I heard the sound of galloping horseshoes from far and near behind.Qing Moss turned her head, and saw Shen Zaiye's brocade robe fiercely, galloping his horse like the wind, passing by her quickly, heading towards King Jing.

The commotion was not small, and the people on King Jing's side, including Jiang Taohua, all turned their heads to look at him.

"Prime Minister?" King Jing was a little surprised, seeing this man rein in his horse in front of him, he couldn't help asking, "Why did you leave the city today?"

Glancing at the pair of horses, Shen Zaiye's eyes darkened, and he cupped his hands and said, "Ms. Shen came here only to straighten the way for the prince to climb to the summit."

"What does the Prime Minister mean by that?" King Jing frowned: "Is there something wrong with my king's way to the summit?"

Shen Zaiye squinted his eyes and looked at the woman in his arms: "I didn't have it before, but now I have it."

Taohua blinked her eyes, and didn't dare to show anything, so she pretended not to know Shen Zaye, but her body couldn't help shaking slightly - she was excited to see her savior.

However, when she trembled, King Jing actually put his arms around her stomach, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, this is the current prime minister, not a bad person."

How do you know that the prime minister is not a bad person? !Taohua couldn't help but rolled her eyes, but when she looked up, she saw Shen Zainye's face became darker.

"Your Majesty." He said in a gloomy tone, "If you bring a woman of unknown origin back to the palace, firstly, it will chill the princess's heart, and secondly, if someone tells His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely be angry. The gate of the Wangfu is not open to anyone. went in."

"She is not a woman of unknown origin." King Jing frowned: "I have been looking for her for a long time. The last time I left the casino, I didn't sleep well for half a month. She is not bad, and she has no evil intentions."

Why does this silly kid think that everyone is not a bad person?Shen Zaiye and Jiang Taohua glanced at each other, both of them had the same thought in their hearts - King Jing seemed to be missing a string in knowing people!
"So, this girl is the one who caused you to be severely punished by the emperor last time?" Shen Zaiye was annoyed: "Why are you so obsessed with it? It's not enough to be deceived once, and you haven't suffered enough?"

King Jing was taken aback, and pursed his lips slightly: "It was an accident last time, and this king was too impulsive. It won't happen in the future, and this king will take her back to the palace so that she can be taken care of."

Feeling very irritable, Shen Zaiye really wanted to go forward and tear the silly boy's hand away, but reason told him that it was not possible.

Looking down at Jiang Taohua, he said fiercely with his eyes: Stop using charms!
Taohua wanted to cry and replied to him without tears: the body of a concubine is useless, this person is still so obsessed with it, no wonder he has a body of a concubine!

Useless?It's useless. How could King Jing be like this?Shen Zaiye didn't believe it, so he opened his mouth and asked him, "What do you like about this woman?"

King Jing was taken aback, feeling a little embarrassed, and looked down at the humanity in his arms, and said, "This king has never seen a woman as fresh and charming as her. Her eyes are so clear that people can't help but want to get close... "

"Your Excellency!" Seeing the man's head approaching again, Tao Hua hurriedly covered her ears, her face flushed slightly.

Shen Zaiye's jaw tightened slightly, and he sneered: "I didn't expect that the prince is also a person who is greedy for beauty, but Shen is mistaken."

King Jing was startled, frowned and looked up at him: "Master Xiang, what does this mean?"

"Before the current emperor ascended the throne, he was not close to women at all. That is to say, he only accepted the harem after the throne was firmly established. This is an act of a wise king." Shen Zaiye's eyes fell on his hands and said: "And the prince Obviously, without the power of self-control, one cannot become a Mingjun. In this case, Shen will bid farewell to the prince and go their separate ways from now on."

"Prime Minister!"

Shocked by these words, King Jing hurriedly rode his horse forward to stop him from leaving, and said anxiously: "Since you have already helped endlessly, how can you leave here?"

"My lord doesn't listen to the advice, and favors this seductive and seductive person. I feel that there is no need to continue helping you." Shen Zaiye looked at him with a stern look, and his eyes were full of disappointment: "While you are holding this woman... , have you ever wondered what the people behind you will think of you?"

His heart sank slightly, King Jing frowned and thought for a while, his expression extremely tangled.He was reluctant to part with this beauty, but he was even more reluctant to part with this country.

"Isn't it possible to have both mountains and beauties?" He asked unwillingly.

Shen Zaiye sneered: "You can have both, but you must first win the country before you are eligible to win the beauties. Before the country is stable, you will be fascinated by beauty. Such a monarch, let alone Shen, who has all the officials in the court, Chinese and military, may not be able to win." Not many people are willing to pledge allegiance."

A layer of cold sweat broke out on his back, King Jing let go of Tao Hua's hand, and lowered his head in thought.

"If the lord returns from the wrong way, Shen still has the confidence to continue to protect you on the road." Glancing at him, Shen Zaiye's expression finally looked better, and he stretched out his hand to grab Jiang Taohua in front of him to his horse.

Finally breathed a sigh of relief, Taohua subconsciously wanted to reach out to hug him, but King Jing was still beside her, so she could only hold back forcefully and looked up at him pitifully.

He rolled his eyes at her angrily, and Shen Zaye looked at her and said to King Jing: "This woman has a mean face, and she looks like a disaster for the country and the people. The prince must not stay by my side."

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, Taohua touched her face.Where there is disaster for the country!Where is the disaster again!She looks very prosperous, okay?
King Jing listened, still a little reluctant, and his eyes fell on her lingeringly.

Shen Zaiye was like shopping for vegetables, holding peach blossoms and looking left and right: "Too thin nose is bad luck. Too full forehead will deprive your husband of luck. Lips are a little thin, so she must be eloquent. Such a woman , how could the prince like it?"

Jiang Taohua: "..."

Even though she knew it was just an expedient measure to get out, she still wanted to slap him in the face!Her facial features are recognized by Da Wei as extremely exquisite and the most blessed, why is there no good place in his mouth?
"Then what does the prime minister plan to do with her?" King Jing asked with a sigh.

Shen Zaiye squinted his eyes: "Leaving this scourge in the world, the prince will always worry about it, why not kill him here, so that you can continue to do what you should do without any worries."

Taking a deep breath, Tao Hua's eyes widened: "Concubine... Minnies are innocent! You officials can't just ignore human life like this!"

King Jing was also taken aback: "Master Xiang, she did nothing wrong, it is inappropriate to kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"Since she seduced you out of your mind, she is no longer innocent." Shen Zaye snorted coldly, and waved his hand to let Zhan Lu behind him hand over a small bottle.

I don't know that bottle of Taohua, but King Jing is very familiar with it. The royal family and officials often use "Xiaoyao San". Regardless of the nice name, one bottle can kill someone.

"Prime Minister..." He frowned and looked at Tao Hua: "Don't you think it's a pity that such a woman died?"

"It would be a pity if you can't sit in the East Palace." Pinch open Taohua's mouth, Shen Zaiye picked up the bottle and poured it into her mouth.

Tao Hua was trying to struggle, afraid that the poisonous snake would really take advantage of the situation and kill herself.But looking into his eyes, there was a reassuring look inside.

He said: Don't worry, leave the rest to me.

With a heartbeat, Taohua slowed down her struggle, resisted for a while, and then swallowed the bottle.Soon a burst of dizziness struck, and she took one last look at King Jing, full of innocence and reluctance.

King Jing gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, seeing the woman slowly fall into Prime Minister Shen's arms, he didn't know how to react for a moment.

Is this the price that must be paid in the process of ascending to the throne?

Shen Zaiye caught the peach blossom expressionlessly, and handed it to Zhan Lu behind him: "Send it to bury, don't let people find out."

"The slave obeys."

The pink skirt raised a beautiful arc in the air. King Jing watched the shadow being carried away by someone, and then glanced at the empty "Xiaoyaosan" bottle thrown on the ground. Tears of heartache.

However, after a while, he returned to normal, cupped his hands and said to Shen Zaiye: "Thank you, Prime Minister!"
