A tree of peach blossoms pressing the prime minister

Chapter 78 Retribution!
The smile on Taohua's face didn't reach his eyes, she looked at him respectfully and said: "Although what the master says is what he says, I still don't want to take the blame for such a scapegoat. I am in the prime minister's mansion, and I live my life completely on the breath of the master. How hard is it to go against the Lord and spread the news that only the concubine knows? The concubine doesn't want to die so early."

"This is what I didn't want to understand, so I asked someone to check, but there was no news." Shen Zaiye pursed his lips, leaned on the back of the chair and looked at her: "I believed you once, but only this time. , the price paid is not small.”

"I'm just kidding." Taohua squinted her eyes: "We are both on guard against each other, and we both know that the other party is better than a thief. What you said to believe is just your own judgment, and you think there is no reason for me to betray you. You don’t really believe in the concubine itself. If you really believe in the concubine, you won’t blame the concubine if something happens.”

This is right, Shen Zaiye lowered his eyes.

Between them, it is true that no one will trust anyone wholeheartedly. Even in his heart, he regards her as a very powerful opponent, so if anything happens, he will definitely blame her.Sometimes he may not be able to see clearly her thoughts and plans, so the degree of suspicion is even deeper.

But this time, did he really wrong her?
"It doesn't matter if you believe in my concubine or not, the punishment has passed anyway, so you just have to be more careful in the future." With a mocking smile, Taohua bowed her knees and saluted: "Life in Zhengchun Pavilion is worse than in Jingyetang, my lord. Instead of always worrying about what my concubine is doing that will harm you, it is better to just lock this concubine inside and have enough food and clothing."

"Jiang Taohua." Shen Zaiye said displeasedly, "Why are you angry with me?"

"I'm not angry." Tao Hua said innocently: "My life is in your hands, where do you have the guts? It's just an idea for you. Whether you listen or not, I think you are the one plan. The concubine will resign first."

After finishing speaking, without looking at him, he turned around and went out the door.

Shen Zaiye's face was a bit ugly, and he was angry for a long time. Looking at the empty room, he asked Zhanlu: "Isn't it me who should be angry? Is she out of temper from hunger? Didn't eat just now?"

Zhan Lu lowered his head and said, "I heard that after eating two bowls of porridge and two dishes, I should be full."

"Is there any meat?"

"Given it."

Are you so angry after eating meat?Shen Zaiye frowned, very incomprehensible.

"Master Xiang." Someone came in from outside and reported, "Someone has brought Fu Que back."

With a jump in his heart, Shen Zaye quickly got up and went to the front hall.

Fu Que tried her best to run away. She knew that something would happen after she sent the news to Prince Yu's mansion that morning, so she packed her bags and hid in the countryside, thinking that with her master protecting her, she would definitely not be killed if she hid so far away. found it.

In the end, she still underestimated the power of Xiangye's subordinates, and after hiding for a few days, she was still caught and brought back to the Xiangfu.

Kneeling in the front hall, Fu Que trembled all over, seeing Shen Zaye's boots appearing in front of her, she lay down on the ground directly: "Master Xiang, please forgive me!"

His eyes moved slightly, Shen Zaye sat down and looked at her, and asked with a smile: "What terrible thing have you done, that you let me spare your life as soon as you come up?"

"Your servant deserves to die, your servant deserves to die!" Fu Qu kowtowed repeatedly, her voice trembling: "Your servant has no other choice, please forgive me."

"Tell me." Shen Zaiye said: "If this forced me to convince me, then I won't blame you."

real?Fu Que was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "My servant's family is still in Duan's mansion. Once my maidservant knows something, I must tell the people in Duan's mansion, so... that night I bumped into my master leaving the mansion. I don't know if my master has gone. Where, just tell them."

"I met you?" His pupils narrowed slightly, and Shen Zaye's eyes suddenly became sharp: "Where did you meet me?"

"It's just... at the gate of Haitang Pavilion." Fuyu lowered her head and said, "This servant was originally going to deliver medicine to the master according to the master's order, but the people of Haitang Pavilion refused to let in, so this servant has been hiding in the corner. Unexpectedly... "

With cold eyes, Shen Zaiye turned his head and glanced at Zhanlu, and the latter knelt down with a "bang": "Damn it, slave!"

At that time, no one thought that there would be someone hiding in the corner at such a late hour, and he didn't pay much attention to it. He was indeed dereliction of duty.

Shen Zaiye pursed his lips, took a deep breath, stared at Fu Que and said, "Since you met by chance, why did Duan say that someone told you?"

"It's the slave's fault... The slave was afraid of getting into trouble, so she told the master that someone else said it. The master didn't know anything, and asked the slave to keep the secret... But the slave really couldn't help himself."

Zhan Lu's brows jumped when he heard this, and he couldn't help but look up at his master.

It's over, I really wronged Mrs. Jiang.

Shen Zaiye's expression was quite calm, but his eyes were a little terrified. He stared at Fu Que for a while, and said to Zhan Lu, "Take her down."

"Yes." Zhan Lu agreed, got up and grabbed Fu Que.

Hearing only the words "Take her down", but not any other punishment, Fu Que felt ecstatic in her heart, thinking that the Prime Minister was really going to let her go, and bowed her head while walking, "Thank you, Prime Minister!"

Shen Zaiye sneered, watching her disappear at the door, Zhanlu came back after a while, bowed his head and said, "It's been dealt with."

"En." Shen Zaye sat without moving, pinching the jade pendant on his waist and rubbing it, as if he was thinking about something.

Glancing at him, Zhanlu said cautiously, "Master, since we have wronged Mrs. Jiang, shouldn't you go and have a look?"

"I don't think I wronged her." Shen Zaiye said in a muffled voice: "She did do a lot of things wrong. Isn't it wrong to go to the garden to meet King Nan? Isn't it wrong to come back so late? Is it wrong to put it in another house? I’m already very kind to those who soaked the pig cage, right?”

Glancing at him, Zhan Lu whispered: "The servant has already asked. It is true that there was a maid who went to Zhengchun Pavilion to spread the word before, so Mrs. Jiang went to the garden. As for the late return... I really don't want to ask why. ?"

With half of his face darkened, Shen Zaiye looked up at him: "Why do you care so much about nothing?"

"Damn it, slave." Zhan Lu hesitated, feeling that his master's aura was not right, so he quickly shut up and stood aside.

The front hall became quiet, Shen Zaiye lowered his eyes and thought for a long time, then reached out and touched his forehead.

A moment later, Zhengchun Pavilion.

"What? Are you sick?" Tao Hua raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhan Lu who came to deliver the message: "Are you seriously ill?"

Zhan Lu said anxiously: "It's terrible. My master has been feeling unwell since the day before yesterday, and the doctor didn't give him a good diagnosis and treatment. Now he has a high fever again."

"Great!" Tao Hua applauded excitedly!

What is retribution, what is heaven and reincarnation!Her curse is still useful, he deserves to die of illness!
Everyone in the room looked at her in astonishment, their faces full of shock.Gu Huairou next to him stretched out his hand and tugged at Tao Hua's sleeve, and said to Zhan Lu with a smile, "Ms. Jiang is glad to have the opportunity to take care of my grandfather. Look, I forgot to feel sorry for my grandfather's illness."

Zhanlu laughed dryly, thinking that he was not blind, Mrs. Jiang was so happy from the bottom of her heart, her eyes lit up!
Coughing twice, Taohua corrected her posture, looked at him with a smile and said: "My grandfather is so sick, he will definitely get sicker when he sees me. For the sake of my grandfather's life, I'd better invite Mrs. Gu to come over."

Gu Huairou was stunned for a moment, dragged her back two steps, and stared, "Are you stupid? Everyone in the yard will be laughing at you when the master punishes you. This is a great opportunity to turn around, so you don't hurry up." ?”

Blinking innocently, Tao Hua said: "I'm afraid I can't control my expression. If I'm too happy, Master will be angry. Then I will be punished again, and it won't be worth it!"

Gu Huairou laughed angrily: "I'm sorry for you, but you can't do this either. After all, you want to live in the backyard."

That's the reason, but she was so angry that she didn't want to see him for the time being.A dog that wags its tail when it sees its owner is a smart dog, but if it wags its tail anytime and anywhere, without expressing emotions at all, life is quite tiring.What's more, she is still a person.

"Ms. Jiang, you should hurry over there." Zhanlu said helplessly, "I told you to take care of me, and no one else can do it for me."

Curling her lips, Taohua asked: "Is there any consequence if you don't go?"

"Yes." Zhan Lu lowered his head and said, "Taste the medicine if you don't want to go. All the bitter medicines are the same as two servings. You drink it in this yard first, and make sure there is no problem. Then let the master drink it. And what does the master eat? , you can eat whatever you want."

... count him as ruthless!The patient can only eat porridge and side dishes, and she finally has meat to eat, so why should she suffer with him?
Squinting her eyes, Taohua smiled and said: "Okay, let's go and take care of the master, so as not to become terminally ill and make the people in this yard widowed."

Is this worry or a curse?Zhanlu's scalp was numb, but he didn't dare to say anything, and led the master back to Linwu Academy.

Shen Zaiye was lying on the bed, his face was not very good-looking.When Taohua entered, she was still a little upset, but when she saw his chapped lips, she immediately felt psychologically balanced.

"Grandpa~" With a soft cry, Tao Hua sat on the edge of the bed, her mouth almost reaching her ears: "Are you alright?"

Glancing at her sideways, Shen Zaiye said weakly, "You think I'm fine?"

"The concubine can rest assured!"

"What did you say?"

"No, I mean, in this way, I will definitely take good care of you." With a slight smile, Taohua stretched out her hand to twist the quilt for him, and glanced at the bowl that was just brought out: "Let's feed you medicine first." ?”

Reluctantly getting up and leaning against the head of the bed, Shen Zaye glanced at her: "You should at least restrain your expression, showing even a trace of worry, don't laugh so exaggeratedly."

"My concubine has always been very worried about me." With her mouth flattened, Tao Hua pointed to her watery eyes: "Look, I'm almost crying because of worry."

Are these tears of laughter?
