Once Xiahoujing died, the rebellion was pacified, and Yunshang felt that she had nothing to do.
The opposite of Yun Shang is Luo Qingyan.
In the evening, the palace servants from the Taiji Hall came to report that the palace change had just been finalized, and there were many follow-up matters that needed to be dealt with urgently. His Majesty had already had dinner in the meeting hall, and told Yun Shang not to wait for him.
Yun Chang nodded, but as she had guessed before, although Xia Houjing died, it would take a lot of effort to deal with this mess.
Yun Shang is willing to help, but I am afraid that there are many courtiers in the conference hall now, and the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics. Although it is with Luo Qingyan and Yun Shang, it is just a sentence that does not have much binding force. But this is a tradition handed down by our ancestors for thousands of years. On the surface, it should be followed after all.
Fortunately, Yunshang didn't really stay idle for a long time. As soon as the dinner was brought to the table, she heard a report from the palace outside: "My lady, Manager Zhou of the library is asking to see you."
Yun Chang raised her eyebrows and hooked her mouth: "It's not too late to come."
"Let him wait outside." Yun Shang said, taking the bowl and chopsticks handed over by Hua'er.
Soon, Yunshang heard the voice of the palace people coming from outside: "Boss Zhou, Your Majesty is eating, please wait for a while, Guanshi Zhou."
"Okay, don't worry, Niang Niang eat slowly, eat slowly."
Yun Shang really did as Zhou Gao said, eating slowly.
Waiting for Yunshang to finish her meal, it was already half an hour later.
Yun Shang asked someone to remove the things, then stood up and came to the main hall: "Please come in, Manager Zhou."
Zhou Gao bowed his head and walked in from the door. Yun Chang took a closer look, but there was no difference in the expression on his face, only a little paler, and he didn't know that he was frozen outside for such a long time. still…
Yun Chang pursed her lips and smiled, picked up the teacup, lowered her head and used the lid to skim off the foam on her face.
"The servant pays homage to the Empress Empress, Empress Empress Jin An."
"Get up."
Zhou Gao smiled reluctantly: "The slave made a mistake, so he can't get up, so let's just kneel down."
Yun Shang almost laughed, but she rarely saw someone who made a mistake and admitted it so happily in front of her.
Most of them pleaded not guilty, and only cried and begged for her life when a large number of witnesses and physical evidence were produced.
The corner of Yunshang's mouth twitched: "Did you make a mistake? I don't know, what mistake did Manager Zhou make?"
Zhou Gao lowered his eyes: "The slave is obsessed with ghosts, and he recognizes the traitor as the master."
"A traitor?" Yun Shang raised her eyelids: "Is it Xia Houjing who Manager Zhou said?"
"Yes." Zhou Gao nodded: "Four years ago, Xiahou Jing came to find the slave, promised the slave a bright future, and asked the slave to work with him."
"At that time, Xia Houjing was still the prince of the Xia Kingdom. The slave was confused by lard at that time, so he agreed. Although he recognized the master, he has never ordered the slave to do anything, and the slave I was staying in a place like the library, which is very deserted and has no real power, so I didn't take it too seriously."
"I really didn't know about Wang Guanshi's matter before. I thought about it carefully later. Maybe it was because although I promised Xia Houjing to do things for him, I was alone, and there was nothing I could handle. on. So he chose Steward Wang..."
"It was only after Wang Guanshi had an accident, and the Xiahou Jing Palace changed, that I finally remembered the slave. But I didn't tell the slave what the purpose was. I only asked the slave to ask the empress. The empress borrowed it from the library before. When will I return those two books?"
"The slave came to ask, and also told someone to pass the message to Xia Houjing according to the truth. After the palace change happened last night, the slave suddenly realized that Xia Houjing asked the slave to do this, maybe it was to test whether the empress is really in the palace. .”
Yun Chang took a sip of tea, with a smile in his eyes: "Oh, that's what Manager Zhou said."
Yun Chang's face was careless: "Boss Zhou mentioned this matter, speaking of it, I should still thank Guan Shi Zhou, but Zhou Guanshi helped me a lot invisibly."
Zhou Gao raised his head, with some doubts in his eyes.
"Yesterday, when you came to Weiyang Palace, the person you saw was not Bengong. It was the person who put this palace in the palace and pretended to be me."
Seeing Zhou Gao's whole body startled, showing a bit of disbelief, the smile on Yunshang's face grew stronger: "It is precisely because Zhou Guanshi delivered such...wrong news to Xia Houjing that Xia Houjing decided to go to the hospital without hesitation. The uprising last night was the reason why the army was defeated so easily, and even died because of it."
"Although Guanshi Zhou admitted the wrong master, he has... made a great contribution."
Zhou Gao lowered his eyes, hiding the panic in his eyes, and his face was a little unnatural: "Maybe this is God's will, and it is fortunate that it is so, otherwise, if something happens to your majesty and empress because of the slave, the slave will be in danger." Death is the one to blame."
Yun Shang hooked the corners of her mouth: "Millions of deaths are to blame?"
Zhou Gao hurriedly said: "This servant knows that this servant has done something wrong and almost made a big mistake, and I don't ask my mother not to pursue it at all, I just hope that my mother can see that this servant has unintentionally accomplished my mother's plan, so spare this dog's life .”
Yunshang stared at Zhou Gao for a while, then laughed Youran: "I have always felt that Guanshi Zhou is a smart man."
"Slave... I dare not be a slave."
"Now after such an incident, I let Ben Gong know that Guanshi Zhou is indeed a very smart person."
"Guan Zhou took refuge in Xia Houjing a few years ago. I don't know what he did for Xia Houjing before, and Guan Shi can shirk all the blame. But I know the time when Guan Shi entered the palace. It wasn't long, but to be able to sit in this position, it must not be all due to my own efforts. It is also inseparable from... your master's support."
"I don't know how you did what happened to Wang Wenxiang before, and I don't want to pursue Wang Wenxiang as a target."
"Only what happened yesterday, for you, is a business that will not lose money no matter what you do. If Xiahou Jing succeeds, then you will naturally get a lot of benefits from him, and you can reach the sky in one step, with a bright future."
"Even if Xia Houjing was defeated, you come to this palace to admit your mistake and say that you have not done anything for Xia Houjing before. What happened yesterday was just that you didn't know Xia Houjing's purpose, and you unintentionally helped him. A person who doesn't know is innocent. Even if you can't avoid your own punishment, you can still save your own life."
"Speaking of which, this is really a good deal."
