Chapter 221
"Master Qu, why should you be humble?" Because of continuous heavy rain, the sky was as dark as night, so Shang Shufu lit many candles in the room.The candlelight shines in Princess Zhaoren's eyes at this moment, and it is not difficult to find the undercurrent hidden in her eyes, "I think that Mr. Qu not only does his job well, but also has a heart for the people. He is a rare and good minister."
"What I receive is the favor of the emperor, what I am bathed in is the grace of the emperor, and the tools I rely on are given by the sage. Naturally, I have to do my job to serve the court. What I wear is silk woven by a mulberry girl, and what I eat is old farmers. The five grains that are planted are taken from the people for living and use, so naturally we should care about the people and seek to benefit the common people." Qu Quan nodded and smiled, doing good deeds like others.
After finishing speaking, three crisp clapping sounds followed.
"Well said, Mr. Qu is worthy of being the pillar of the Great Xia." Zhao Ren's beautiful eyes sank, "It's a pity, as far as I know, Mr. Qu is not pure and clean."
Qu Quan smiled: "What do you think Your Highness said?"
"The case of Concubine Shu caused a sensation in the government and the public, thanks to Mrs. Qu's good means." Zhaoren stopped talking nonsense with her and began to express his intentions directly, "Concubine Shu of the holy family Zhenglong died with a cup of dove wine, and the old Ministry of punishment fell overnight. It was destroyed and clarified. The emperor has always been worried about this matter, and although he believes in Lord Qu, he has been secretly investigating." Her eyes rolled, seemingly innocent, "I happened to hear some rumors, if I accidentally conveyed If it is given to the royal father, Mr. Qu is afraid that he will not be able to be loyal to the country anymore, so he will plead for the people."
This is to secretly remind Qu Quan that she has found some clues that can bring down Qu Quan, and she is clearly putting pressure on her.
However, Qu Quan was not only unafraid, but even more smiling, "What does Your Highness want me to do?"
Zhao Ren couldn't see Qu Quan's expression at this moment. She was overjoyed when she heard the words, and a smug smile appeared on her face, "It is said that women suffer from three kinds of hardships: losing their father when they are young, losing their husband when they are young, and losing their children when they are old. They are all ordinary women." The hardships I have suffered, the golden branches and jade leaves of this palace, naturally need to ask for a loving husband and wife, and the white prime minister will take care of them."
"My son-in-law is currently in the prison, and I'm afraid I've lost a lot of weight these few days." Qu Quan's tone was very sincere, "Your Highness, the princess might as well go and deliver some food to the son-in-law."
Zhao Ren nodded in satisfaction, knowing that Qu Quan was on the right track, much easier to deal with than Wei Yueyan's stubbornness.But if you think about it carefully, how many of the ministers of the DPRK and China who have visited in the past few days were not threatened and lured, but they were easily won by reasoning with affection?It seems that a group of vassal ministers are all hiding some shady activities, and they all have some extravagant hopes hanging on high branches that cannot be reached.
"Master Qu's suggestion is very good, I will go to deliver some food to the son-in-law soon."
Qu Quan showed her sincere eyes, and suggested: "Your Highness, you might as well wash your hands and make soup yourself, I'm sure the son-in-law will be very happy."
"You don't need to be reminded by Mr. Qu." Zhaoren looked a little impatient.
Qu Quan sighed and nodded, "My minister heard that although Her Royal Highness loves the son-in-law deeply, she has never cooked for the son-in-law. The son-in-law woke up from the bed one night and told His Highness that he had a delicious meal in his dream. Forgetting the recipe, he dragged His Highness with a clouded bun to the kitchen overnight, and really made a fish soup. His Highness was so happy with the meal, that he promised to make a dish for the son-in-law in the future. Right now, the son-in-law is being punished Soon, if His Highness still refuses to cook for the son-in-law, I'm afraid there will be no chance in this life."
"You, how did you know that?!" Zhao Ren was like being killed by lightning, but she didn't realize that Qu Quan's words obviously violated her meaning. At that time, the husband and wife had fun in their boudoir.Even few people in his own mansion knew about this kind of thing, so why did this foreign minister who couldn't beat him know it clearly?
The level of security in the son-in-law's mansion is second only to the imperial palace in the entire Jinling City. There are even ten secret guards specially approved by Emperor Yulong to patrol in the night. How can a small Minister of the Ministry of Punishment come from such a skill to detect such a hidden place? thing? !
She looked at Qu Quan in horror, pointing at Qu Quan's chilling face with trembling fingers covered with dyed Danko, probably because the terror Qu Quan brought to her had a certain period of dormancy, and she could still say it just now When he spoke, he couldn't even say a word at this moment.
Seeing Princess Zhaoren, who had always been high-spirited, become like this, Qu Quan secretly laughed inwardly.In fact, her spy is not a fairy, and she can't enter the palace of Princess Zhaoren's son-in-law, which is second only to the imperial palace in terms of security.The reason why she knew about this was that last year when Jiji helped her to deliver birthday gifts to the princess mansion, she accidentally got heatstroke-of course, no one knows if such a mysterious thing as heatstroke is true or not.The princess of the consort's mansion was domineering and domineering, and even a group of little maids were used to being delicate and considerate, so they took the collection back and took care of it for a noon.Jiji drank the soup to cool off the summer heat, and was about to thank the little maids. He happened to overhear what the two little maids were talking about in the corner of the corridor. All the people in the Consort House?If the maids and hidden guards on duty said they didn't know, they must be trying to save their own lives.
However, Qu Quan would not be so stupid as to tell Zhaoren about this kind of thing. She appreciated the huge contrast between Zhaoren and Zhaoren with satisfaction, and did not dare to go too far, so she had to kindly give the princess a step down. People are envious."
