It’s Better to be the Empress Dowager

Chapter 48 Mistress

Master Tang’s eyebrows twitched slightly. She thought that yesterday’s matter had passed. Unexpectedly, King Jing would have to investigate thoroughly. I wanted to come to Yi Nianyuan to toss for a whole morning today, and it was also the order of King Jing.

King Jing suppressed everything that happened last night. Except for a few people involved, everyone else did not know about Zhao Zi’s inquiry about Chinese medicine. This is not a good thing after all, it will damage Zhao Zixun’s reputation when it is spread out. As early as last night, when he discovered the clues, he was suppressed by Zhao Chengjun with thunder.

Now, the only ones who know the truth of the matter are these few people in the hall and the real behind-the-scenes ambassadors.

Before holding the tea water, Master Tang gently removed Zhao Chengjun’s water and replaced it with new tea. At this moment, the needle dropping quietly in the room can be heard, and only the sound of her pouring water can be heard. Lu Yufei couldn’t help but raise his eyes quietly. They were serving in the hall, trembling not to speak, but Master Tang was able to pour tea at will.

Zhao Zixun frowned and looked at Master Tang several times, his expression very restrained. Zhao Chengjun hadn’t planned to drink water, but after Master Tang changed the tea, he didn’t know why, so he picked up the tea cup in his hand and slowly rubbed it in his hand.

Zhao Chengjun didn’t rush and asked, “Why, can’t you tell me?”

“Erchen dare not.” Zhao Zixun quickly withdrew his gaze. He had originally scrupulous about the presence of Master Tang, and felt that these royal mansions secretly told her not to listen. However, Zhao Chengjun was already displeased. Zhao Zixun did not dare to delay any more, so he could only say respectfully: “Father has orders, but the sons dare not neglect. After returning last night, the sons tortured all those who handled them, and finally found out that they were. The maid who gave the wine yesterday was greedy and delusional to climb up, so she secretly added aphrodisiac medicine to Erchen’s wine. Erchen oversight for a while, was hit by her intrigue.”

Master Tang placed the teapot, handed the replaced Chen Cha to the maid, and stood beside Zhao Chengjun with his hands tied. She kept moving in her hands, but her ears didn’t stop. Zhao Zixun’s words don’t say Zhao Chengjun, even Tang Shishi didn’t believe it.

How could a little maid dare to drug the eldest son? Even if she was really brave enough to want to climb the bed, where did she find the aphrodisiac, and why didn’t she show up after she succeeded?

This statement sounds reasonable at first, but when you think about it, it doesn’t hold water at all.

This is what Zhao Zixun found out. Zhao Chengjun held the tea cup in his hand and said nothing. He just looked at Lu Yufei: “There is a difference between inside and outside. Men should not interfere too much in the internal house. Concubine, you are. As the mistress of the house, how did you check?”

Lu Yufei suddenly became nervous, she didn’t dare to lift her head, Nono said: “It’s what the son said. When the son interrogated the servant, the concubine was also there to listen. It was indeed the maid who was brave and wanted to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix. .”

Master Tang raised his eyebrows secretly, and the husband and wife were one. Even if Lu Yufei had a conflict with Zhao Zixun, he would still be the person next to the pillow. Of course Lu Yufei would help Zhao Zixun to cover up what happened, how could it be towards Zhao Chengjun?

Zhao Chengjun’s face was light, and his disappointment could not be concealed. He put down the tea cup and said, “Since your husband and wife understand it, let’s do it like this. What are you going to do with it?”

Zhao Zixun lowered his eyes and said calmly: “If you commit the following crime, you will die as a rod if you don’t obey the virtues of women.”

Stick to death… Lu Yufei’s complexion is not very good, she arranged the manpower, and there is a problem with the maid delivering the wine, and Lu Yufei can’t shirk the blame. Zhao Zixun’s handling is so unrelenting, isn’t he telling everyone in the palace that Lu Yufei is not doing things well?

Master Tang heard the words “stick to death” again. When Ren Yujun’s dress offended King Jing at the beginning, Zhao Zixun did not hesitate to say that the stick was killed. This person is romantic, and when he is unfeeling, he is also truly unfeeling.

It is indeed the emperor who took over the Sannomiya Sixth Institute in the future. If he is favored, he is a treasure, and once he falls out of favor, he is the earth.

Lu Yufei lowered his head and said nothing, Zhao Chengjun looked at the performance of the two men in front of him, and his heart became colder and colder.

Master Tang looked at Zhao Zixun silently. As an outsider, she knew that the person who prescribed the medicine would not be a wine delivery maid. Would Zhao Zixun not know? But he still didn’t blink his eyes and wanted to execute a completely innocent maid.

When Zhao Chengjun was about to say something, Master Tang suddenly spoke and interrupted Zhao Chengjun’s words: “The prince, a person is not a sage, who can do nothing, that maid should die if she made a mistake, but she doesn’t understand anything. God has a good life. De, hope the prince will give her another chance to correct her mistakes.”

Zhao Zixun looked at Master Tang in surprise, and said with a calm face: “Bold, father speaks, is there any reason for you to interrupt?”

Zhao Chengjun raised his hand, but Zhao Zi’s enquiry was blocked. He looked at Zhao Chengjun incredulously, but Zhao Chengjun looked calm, but his attitude was firm. Zhao Zixun dared not say any more, and could only swallow his stomach full of words.

Zhao Chengjun remained silent, and asked, “Well, according to you?”

Master Tang dare to offend Zhou Shunhua in front of Zhao Zixun. She lowered her eyes and said, “The little woman is humble and dare not put her beak. .”

Zhao Chengjun smiled, but she knew how to figure it out, so she didn’t want to take responsibility for herself, so she didn’t want to put a high hat on him. Zhao Chengjun smiled and said, “This king is not an arbitrary person. You can say what you think, and this king will not pursue it.”

Master Tang is going to forget it, isn’t Zhao Chengjun still acting arbitrarily? Zhao Chengjun really deserves to be a man who grew up in the court and played well. Master Tang opened his eyes wide. When he couldn’t hear, Zhao Zixun didn’t understand Zhao Chengjun’s mind, and he didn’t dare to speak without permission. In the end, it was Lu Yufei who was ignorant and fearless. Although guilty, the crime does not lead to death. According to my daughter-in-law, I might as well leave the maid alive and expel her from the palace, which is considered to be an accumulation of virtue for the palace.”

Master Tang said quietly, “It’s better to beat her to death. Who dares to use the maid who was sent out by the Jing Palace? She will only live better than die.”

Zhao Chengjun couldn’t see the happiness and anger, and he glanced at Master Tang slightly: “Don’t you dare to speak? My lord, you have a lot of ideas now.”

Master Tang immediately laughed and said: “Why, the little girl just wants to share the worries for the prince. The little girl is dull, I would like to hear the prince’s opinion.”

This flatterer. Zhao Chengjun snorted lightly and said, “For the first offense, I will spare her life temporarily. She will be fined for half a year and distributed to the clothing room.”

The coat room does the heaviest and dirtiest job, and it is by no means a good thing to be assigned to the coat room. However, compared with the previous death and expulsion, this punishment is simply outrageous. When Master Tang heard this, he immediately shouted: “The prince is wise! What are you doing in a daze, haven’t you heard what the prince said? Why don’t you go and spread the word?”

Zhao Zixun stood in the hall without time to speak, and Master Tang was shocked to finalize the matter. Zhao Zixun was a little displeased. This was his private matter. His father had handed it over to him for investigation. In the end, he did not respect his thoughts at all. In that case, why did he ask in the first place?

However, these feelings passed in a flash, as if there were none. Zhao Zixun bowed his head, as he had done many times before, submissively replied: “What my father said is.”

Lu Yufei watched this scene, his mouth opened slightly, but in the end he did not dare to speak. It may be a little bit presumptuous to think this way, but Lu Yufei really feels that Master Tang and Zhao Chengjun sang a harmony, just like a husband and wife singing a double song.

Obviously, they had already discussed it, so I asked them to come over for a cutscene.

What happened last night is now settled. This is not a glorious thing. After finishing talking, neither Zhao Zixun nor Zhao Chengjun wanted to talk about it anymore. Zhao Zixun retired immediately, and Lu Yufei followed Zhao Zixun and left respectfully.

After waiting for someone to leave, Zhao Chengjun got up and walked towards the inner room, and Master Tang naturally followed. After Zhao Chengjun lifted his robe and sat down on the book case, Tang Shishi reluctantly said, and went up to study ink with great eyesight: “Thank you, the prince. The prince is kind-hearted and willing to make good judgments. It is Yao Shun who is alive.”

Zhao Chengjun was running the pen, and when he heard that he knocked Master Tang with the penholder backhand: “What are you talking about? Don’t kill me?”

Master Tang painfully covered his forehead, and said, “I just made a mistake by accident, why did I use so much strength?”

“Is this something to tell you?” Zhao Chengjun glanced at her and said, “Fortunately, you are in Xiping Mansion. If you were in Jinling, you should now apologize for yourself.”

Master Tang held the smashed place with both hands, feeling wronged and dared not excuse. In fact, she is also to blame for her negligence. Tang Shishi replaced the plot of later generations and naturally used Yao and Shun to shoot Zhao Chengjun’s flattery. She did not know that Zhao Chengjun was only a minister now, and the emperor was the king. To say this is to decapitate.

When Zhao Chengjun saw Master Tang’s arrogance, he knew that she was really wrong. Zhao Chengjun moistened his face with a cold face, and saw Master Tang still rubbing his forehead with the reflection of inkstone in the ink.

Zhao Chengjun’s face was cold, and asked: “Does it still hurt?”

He clearly remembered that he didn’t use much effort.

“Yeah.” Tang Shishi was thinking about the delicate skin on his face, whether it would leave scars if he hit it like this, he didn’t hear Zhao Chengjun’s question at all. She replied casually and continued to focus on her face. Zhao Chengjun wrote a line, then put down the pen calmly and said: “Go and get the ointment.”

“what?”

Zhao Chengjun wanted to use her clumsy strength to make her worse than himself. Zhao Chengjun stood up, took Qiongyu ointment from Duobao Pavilion, and said to Master Tang, “Look up.”

Teacher Tang was stunned. Before he could react to what had happened, Zhao Chengjun was already standing in front of her, holding her chin, forcing her to raise her face.

Master Tang was surprised, and instinctively hid backwards: “Master!”

“Don’t move.” Zhao Chengjun pressed her fingers slightly, firmly clasped her chin, and said, “Qiongyu ointment is the most suitable ointment for women to invigorate blood and remove blood stasis and relieve pain. All right.”

Master Tang’s neck was stiff, his eyes widened, and he dared not move at all. Teacher Tang was forced to raise his head, and his eyes naturally fell on Zhao Chengjun’s face. He leaned over slightly, looking at Master Tang’s forehead seriously, and slowly making a circle with **** of his right hand on it.

Master Tang stared at Zhao Chengjun’s eyes, unable to move his sight at all. Zhao Chengjun has sword eyebrows and star eyes, and the bridge of his nose is tall, because he grew up in the court, and his skin is peculiar to pampering whiteness. After years of training in the Northwest, his silhouette quickly became tough, but his eyes still carried that careless energy. Seeing people seems to be separated by ice and water, which will never let people get close.

Usually he is expensive and far away. These eyes don’t know how many people have been frightened. However, now, he is looking down at Master Tang, his eyes are really reflecting the reflection of Master Tang, as if this person has really come alive.

Master Tang didn’t know how long he looked at it, but it wasn’t until Zhao Chengjun’s eyebrows moved that Master Tang finally reacted. She realized that she was staring directly at Zhao Chengjun, and quickly looked away. However, Zhao Chengjun’s hand was still pinching Master Tang’s chin, and she couldn’t avoid it too far, so she could only stare at Zhao Chengjun’s neck awkwardly.

Zhao Chengjun today wore a dark red crepe gown with a cyan collar lining. The noble status of kings and suns is noble, and the use of color has always been publicized. Zhao Chengjun was originally a person who was not easy to approach, so wearing such a heavy color on him made him more indifferent and noble.

A person’s origin cannot be concealed. Even if Zhao Chengjun has a cocoon on his hands, his neck is long and white, and there is no wrinkle, which shows that his childhood life is extremely superior. Master Tang stared at him unconsciously, and she suddenly found that Zhao Chengjun’s Adam’s apple seemed to move.

His neck is slender and his Adam’s apple is prominent, which is especially obvious when sliding up and down. When Teacher Tang was in a daze, his jaw suddenly loosened, Zhao Chengjun stepped back and said, “Okay.”

His voice seemed to be a little muffled, but he often spoke in such an unhurried, unhurried tone, and Master Tang didn’t take it seriously. Master Tang reached out and touched his forehead tentatively, and found that the ointment was smeared on it.

Master Tang knew that this was mostly the secret medicine of the palace, and she was quite surprised, and cleverly gave a lucky gift: “Thank you, Lord.”

Zhao Chengjun didn’t talk to Master Tang much, and quickly sat back behind the table. Teacher Tang stood up slowly, and when he was not sure whether he should leave or not, he heard Zhao Chengjun ask, “Why beg for mercy?”

Master Tang paused for a moment and said softly: “Because the little girl is kind, gentle, and compassionate…”

Zhao Chengjun raised his eyes and glanced at her coldly, and Master Tang immediately felt obediently: “Because I don’t think it is a maid at all. It would be a great loss for someone who didn’t know who it was to die in vain.”

This is indeed the reason why Master Tang pleaded for the maid, but it was only one of them. There is also a very important point, Master Tang wants to keep this person to calculate Zhou Shunhua.

Yesterday, I didn’t know what Zhou Shunhua and Zhao Zixun said. Anyway, today Zhao Zixun is determined to plant the medicine on the maid’s head. When the maid dies, there is no evidence of his death. However, how could Tang Shishi sit back and watch Zhou Shunhua get his wish. The benefits are hers, and the culprits are others. There is no such good thing in the world.

Zhao Chengjun wrote on the paper and asked at random: “Then who do you think it is?”

The opposite side of the table was quiet, and stagnated for a long time. Zhao Chengjun found it funny. He was running the pen at the inkstone and asked with a smile: “It’s been so long, haven’t you figured it out yet?”

Master Tang was embarrassed and said, “Master, don’t you let me offend people? I have no power, no power, no name and no share, so how can I dare to interfere with the family affairs of the elder son.”

“Just say it, no matter what it is, this king will not be blamed if you leave this door.”

Master Tang sighed and couldn’t help but said, “Master, what you said is nothing. You remember the little things that were a little bit bigger in the autumn hunting season, can you really not punish me?”

Zhao Chengjun slapped the pen on the table with a bang, and said coldly, “Bold.”

Master Tang hurriedly stepped forward, took over Zhao Chengjun’s pen, and personally studied and washed the pen for him: “The little girl is just talking about it, the prince, don’t be angry. Take a good word, it can’t be destroyed.”

Teacher Tang was also attentively serving and sweet words, Zhao Chengjun couldn’t attack, and she could only let her take the matter over.

After Master Tang’s interruption, the topic just now was also over. In fact, how could Zhao Chengjun not know who the drug was in the wine, her methods were too inferior, and too anxious.

But who made Zhao Zixun like her. Even if Zhao Chengjun was the lord of the palace, he couldn’t cross Zhao Zixun and reach out to deal with the adopted woman. Zhao Chengjun sighed, and it is rare to say a few words of truth: “There is a difference between closeness and estrangement. Once children get married, others will become outsiders, and many things will not go well.”

Zhao Chengjun strongly escorted Zhao Zixun to marry his wife. On the one hand, he wanted to let Zhao Zixun get his heart. However, the mistress found it, but Lu Yufei and Zhao Zixun are the ones who are united. Most of the time, she will not manage the inner house in the direction that Zhao Chengjun expects.

In this regard, Lu Yufei is not even as comfortable as Tongxiu. Tong Xiu just has her own selfish intentions, and Lu Yufei’s whole person’s position is crooked.

But Zhao Chengjun has already said about decentralization, and he can’t go back and take back the stewardship. Master Tang listened for a moment, and suddenly said, “Master, I’m just waiting for a little maid, but you are the lord of the Jing Palace, the uncrowned king in the northwest. In your own palace, why do you have to endure if you have any problems?”

Zhao Chengjun was startled and suddenly sober. Yeah, why did he endure it? If the servant doesn’t work well, he can change to another servant; if the housekeeper doesn’t work well, he can change to another housekeeper.

A real manager who maintains his position and conveys his mind.
