Chapter 45 Dark Guard: Be careful, the consort is haunting you
Concubine Luo couldn't figure out what Qin Shou was thinking, just like now——

Wearing a long gown with seven treasure maple leaves rolled in silver, Wang Rong sat in front of her elegantly and noblely, concentrating on the finest Mingqian Longjing.

In the end, he said leisurely, "It's still Mimi's cost is fine. In comparison, this king thinks that the tributes from previous years were fooled by the people below, otherwise why even the tea is not as good as that in Mimi's courtyard." delicious."

Concubine Luo made goosebumps all over her body due to the sound of Mimi, she said with a cold face, "It's just an ordinary Longjing, if you still agree with the son-in-law, I will ask Gong'e to wrap some for the son-in-law later."

Qin Shou nodded, never mentioning Zhu Changshi and Qing Guard's command. His casual appearance made Concubine Luo's teeth itch, and she really wanted to punch that handsome face.

After finishing a cup of tea, Qin Shou straightened his sleeves, and said indifferently just now, "I'm here today to invite Mimi to go to the meeting hall of Canglan Garden in the front courtyard together tomorrow. At the moment, there are two divisions, Changshi and Guard Command, I think , until there is no suitable candidate to take office, the matters of these two departments should be decided by Mimi."

Concubine Luo's heart was ringing alarm bells. Qin Shou, who spoke so softly and without anger, was already weird and tight. Now he offered to let her participate in politics, but there must be demons in everything that goes wrong, so she had to be cautious.

However, Qin Shou is like a patient hunter who knows his prey very well. He clearly understands Concubine Luo's weakness, and if he throws out the bait properly, even if Concubine Luo knows that there is a trap ahead, she can't refuse.

Therefore, she thought about it for a while, and said perfunctorily, "My son-in-law is really joking. After all, I am a woman, so how dare I discuss political affairs rashly. If this spreads, it won't make people laugh at me as a rooster sitting in the morning."

Speaking of this, she deliberately added, "Zhu Changshi, that's not the way he scolded me."

Qin Shou looked at her, his smoky pupils were as dark as ink, and he couldn't distinguish his emotions. After a while, he said, "I thought, Mimi is used to wantonness, so why would she care about these things."

Hearing this, Concubine Luo choked and had nothing to say.

Qin Shou said again, "Tomorrow's hour, Mimi, don't miss the hour."

After saying those words, he stood up, his long and narrow phoenix eyes were slightly closed, his handsome white jade face was expressionless, he walked to the door, suddenly remembered something, turned around and asked, "Why don't you see Mimi's hidden guard?"

Concubine Luo had a smile on her lips, but her eyes were distant, she said softly, "Bai Ye."

She didn't notice that Qin Shou's pupils shrank suddenly, but she quickly recovered her composure, and leisurely played with the black jade pendant in the shape of "Shou" hanging from her waist.

Bai Ye appeared, dressed as usual, with his hand on the hilt of the rapier, looking at Qin Shou tensely from a foot away.

Qin Shou turned the hand of the jade pendant for a moment, squinted at Bai Ye, and after a long while said inscrutablely, "The sword technique is pretty good."

Following the words, he had already turned around and walked out, but the hand half hidden in his sleeve grasped the jade pendant tightly.

Concubine Luo laughed softly, the laughter was as crisp as a lily of the valley, very cheerful, "Bai Ye's swordsmanship is naturally good..."

She didn't care whether Qin Shou could still hear the words after stepping out of the hall, so she beckoned Bai Ye to come forward.

No one noticed that the knuckles of Qin Shou's fingers were slightly white. When he got out of Anfoyuan, he loosened his five fingers, and the ink-colored jade pendant, which was still good at first, instantly turned into powder, and fell from his fingers, flying like sand.

His expression was dark and deep, and the murderous intent pouring out from the long curly eyelashes in his eyes was terrifying, but there was no wave on his body, and there was a trace of the hem of his robe curled up by the wind, floating and falling, which made him even more perfect. It's as cold as jade.

But in the flower hall, the moment Qin Shou left, the smile on Concubine Luo's face disappeared, she looked at the direction he was leaving coldly, and remained silent for a long time.

Bai Ye paused, then hesitated and said, "Princess, a son-in-law makes a humble job feel very dangerous."

What he didn't say was that the danger was like the illusion of being stared at by a fierce beast. His scalp was numb and his back was cold, and he would unconsciously provoke his body's instinctive attack posture.

Concubine Luo didn't feel relieved, and said casually, "This son-in-law has never been easy to flirt with..."

Sometimes she felt that apart from understanding her family, she dismissed the chief secretary and the commander of the guards. He was so indifferent to such a big move, and he didn't even speak harshly. It really made her a little terrified.

Moreover, today she saw that the son-in-law was more and more similar to the calm and cruel Qin Shou who was a few years later in the last life.

They all carry the same unfathomable abyss, like an abyss, once they get close and fall, they will no longer see the hope of the sun and the moon.

However, she still has to accept Qin Shou's suggestion and intervene in the affairs of the two divisions, so that she can restrain him in the future.

In the early morning of the second day, Concubine Luo arrived at the conference hall of Canglan Garden at [-]:[-], and as soon as she entered the door, she saw all the officials in the hall staring at her with wide eyes in surprise.

After regaining consciousness, they sang in unison, "Goodbye."

Concubine Luo saw that Qin Shou was sitting on the head safely, and when she saw her coming, she didn't say anything and got up, she just took a cup of tea and tasted it, while there was an empty armchair on his right.

Concubine Luo raised her hand falsely to let everyone stand up, Shi Shiran stepped forward and unceremoniously occupied the armchair.

Only then did Qin Shou put down the teacup, and said to all the officials in the fief below in a lukewarm manner, "From today onwards, the affairs of the two divisions, Chang Shi and the guards, will be decided by the princess."

After saying this, he paused, "The vassal king is not allowed to prejudge the fortunes of the people, his official position will never be cut off, and farmers and businessmen can't get along, so if there is any uncertainty, you can also report it to the princess and solve it together."

As soon as the words fell, the officials below looked at each other in blank dismay, but they didn't dare to discuss in a low voice, so they had to act according to their words.

The first one to stand up was Commander Zhang Zhen. He cupped his hands and bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty has a request to play, and I ask the princess to make a decision."

Although Concubine Luo has never really been in power, she has seen how the Empress Dowager is in power, so she poses well, even though her face is tender, she can still bluff people for a while.

She smiled at the corner of her mouth, majesty and kindness coexisted, "Commander Zhang Zhen, you are welcome, just speak directly."

Commander Zhang Zhen said, "A few days ago, the princess ordered Zhu Changshi and the Qing guard to command them, and she wanted to escort them back to the capital to await trial. I really don't know how to write the letter of indictment submitted to the capital commander. , and ask the princess to show me."

The implication is that there is not enough evidence to convict.

Concubine Luo raised her eyebrows, "I don't know what there is in this palace, so Commander Zhang Zhen can write it? The seal of the letter is not enough? Could it be that these two people are plotting against each other day and day, so Commander Zhang Zhen can convict him?"

Commander Zhang Zhen bowed his head and remained silent.

Concubine Luo suddenly remembered the events of her previous life, her temples were covered with frost, "Could it be that Commander Zhang Zhen is still waiting for that time, so that we can rise up together, huh?"

The elongated ending sound carried a chilling power.

Zhang Zhen was sweating profusely. Without hesitation, he knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty has no such intentions. The princess is very aware."

Concubine Luo waved her hand to signal him to get up, and said, "Of course I know Commander Zhang is a good one."

In a flash and understatement, Qin Shou, who was beside her, took a look at her.

After Commander Zhang Zhen retreated tactfully, another person stepped forward and said, "Soon it will be the Rongzhou Flower God Sacrifice Ceremony, I wonder if the princess has any instructions?"

Flower god sacrifice?

Concubine Luo, who was still at ease just now, was stunned. She used to be in the capital, so she didn't know that Rongzhou had any other things for the sacrificial ceremony, so she couldn't help turning her head to look at Qin Shou.

Unexpectedly, Qin Shou's eyelashes drooped down, his jade-like face was clear and indifferent, and he didn't say a word, as if he didn't hear and didn't say much.
