Chen Yuan thought for a while and replied: "The Queen Mother, according to the advice of her subordinates, it is too early to arrest Hua Qingxue at this moment."
"Oh, why?"
"This is Xiao Han's first attack, and it is not going well. I believe that the two arrows Hua Qingxue shot at him are enough to arouse Xiao Han's hatred. It is a foregone conclusion that they will fight each other. Why don't we watch from the other side and wait for them to fight more? After a few rounds, take action and reap the benefits?"
Zheng Shuwen nodded, but she had neglected this point.
"But we can also make some small moves, mobilize some ministers to create a little pressure from public opinion, and contain Fu Tingye's will from the side. This time, let the woman be free for a few days, and then arrest her when Xiao Han strikes again. best opportunity."
There was a smile on Chen Yuan's lips that was determined to win: "In this way, he will lose completely."
He didn't expect to face Fu Tingye and fight against him so soon. Chen Yuan couldn't hold back his excitement.
Zheng Shuwen nodded: "Okay, he is indeed a smart person."
Chen Yuan smiled, bowed his head to show humility, and was already ecstatic in his heart.
Dealing with the Queen Mother is not as difficult as imagined.
"It's nothing, please step back." Zheng Shuwen simply ordered.
Chen Yuan was slightly startled. He didn't expect that he had given her such a good plan and didn't express it. He was really stingy. After all, a woman is a woman.
"Why... are you still busy?" Zheng Shuwen's tone suddenly became a little unhappy, and she looked at him seriously.
"No, it's nothing." Chen Yuan paused: "It's just that the guards at Qianqing Palace are always tired recently, and something seems wrong."
Qianqing Palace!
Zheng Shuwen's expression suddenly became tense: "What's wrong?"
Chen Yuan didn't expect such a big reaction from her, so he quickly replied: "It's just sleeping on duty, or gathering people to gamble..." In fact, it was all trivial matters, but he deliberately made it a bit serious.
Zheng Shuwen rubbed her temples again: "If you catch someone in action, I'll kill him without reporting anything."
"Yes." Chen Yuan nodded in agreement, but looked a little hesitant.
"What?" Zheng Shuwen lowered her eyes and looked at him for a moment.
"It's nothing..." Chen Yuan twitched the corner of his mouth and was about to leave, but was interrupted by Zheng Shuwen: "I don't like others to be secretive in front of me, so just tell me if you have something!"
Chen Yuan stopped, thought for a while, and finally had the courage to ask: "Queen Mother, Qianqing Palace is just a remote palace, and its geographical location is not very important. It really does not need heavy guarding..."
Now that he is the general manager of the Royal Guards, the deployment of troops in the palace is his responsibility, so it is reasonable to raise such doubts.
Zheng Shuwen was startled, and then she laughed faintly.
"Chen Yuan, you are very smart, but smart people should know how to measure things."
Her careless words made Chen Yuan feel on pins and needles for a moment, with some cold sweat breaking out on his back, but on the surface he remained calm and pretended to be fine.
"Back off." Zheng Shuwen said in a disdainful tone.
Chen Yuan clasped his fists: "I'm resigning."
Chen Yuan came out of the palace in fear. The clothes on Chen Yuan's back were soaked through. He really couldn't understand what the Queen Mother was hiding. Could it be that her lover was hidden in that mysterious place
He was a little discouraged, so he walked out of the Queen Mother's Cining Palace and went to the edge of Taihu Lake. He picked up the stones on the ground and threw them to vent his emotions.
I don't know when, Zi Wan came behind him, but she looked at him quietly and calmly.
After Chen Yuan threw the stones in his hand, he bent down to pick them up again. He accidentally saw a pair of embroidered shoes and jumped up in fright: "Oh, let me go, you will scare people to death."
Zi Wan had a bad attitude and gave him a cold look: "Really? It's really strange that a bold person can be scared to death."
Chen Yuan knew that she had pointed out something, so he stopped talking and continued to throw stones dullly.
"I know I shouldn't ask, but I'm just curious."
Zi Wan snorted coldly: "I can see it. Since you want to die, I won't stop you. I just think it's a mistake."
Chen Yuan savored her words carefully and suddenly became excited: "So, are you willing to tell me?"
Zi Wan glanced at him as if he was an idiot, then turned and left.
Chen Yuan hurriedly caught up: "I promise not to tell anyone. Don't worry, even if something happens, I will be responsible for it alone and have nothing to do with you."
Zi Wan stopped and turned back: "I'm afraid the steward has misunderstood. Zi Wan doesn't know anything and has never told you anything."
"..." Chen Yuan looked at her with an expression that clearly didn't mean what you just said.
Zi Wan was burned by his intense gaze, turned around and said in a very small voice: "You have been in the palace for so long, but have you ever seen the emperor?"
Chen Yuan was slightly startled. During this period, Zi Wan had already strode far away.
Chen Yuan was frozen in place like a nail. After a long time, he sighed softly: "Isn't the emperor always recuperating in the imperial study?"
Is there something weird about this
…
Fu Tingye sent Hua Qingxue back to her room to rest, then walked out and went straight to Lu Zhengqing's yard.
After Lu Zhengqing's careful care, Tongtong was able to get out of bed and was sitting next to Luo Muyu, looking at the child in Luo Muyu's arms smiling.
The child's smile is so innocent and pure that no one can see any impurities.
It was Luo Muyu who saw Fu Tingye first and quickly stood up and saluted: "General."
Fu Tingye nodded and responded: "Your body still needs to recover, so there is no need to go through these red tapes." Although he was speaking to Luo Muyu, he was clearly looking at Tongtong beside him.
Tongtong also looked at Fu Tingye, his usually calm eyes suddenly evasive.
Fu Tingye reached out to her, and Tongtong looked at him in confusion.
"You don't want me to tell you the truth here, do you?" Fu Tingye had already pointed his finger at Luo Muyu who was standing aside.
Luo Muyu was confused. Seeing the awkward atmosphere, he quickly tried to smooth things over: "Tongtong, the general must have taken you to eat delicious food. Go ahead. It's okay. The general is a very good person."
Tongtong turned his head to look at her, then at Fu Tingye.
Now she had no choice, whether to take off the mask and be scorned by everyone or keep the mask and follow Fu Tingye, she could only choose the latter.
Timidly, he stretched out his hand and took Fu Tingye's big hand. The two left step by step and walked out of Lu Zhengqing's yard.
When Xi'er brought fresh fruit for Hua Qingxue to enjoy from outside, she smiled and shared this strange incident: "Madam, do you think it's strange? Just now I actually saw the general and the child in our villa. Take a walk, the general never gets close to any children."
Indeed.
Hua Qingxue looked at Xi'er and couldn't believe it: "Really? Where have they gone?"
Xi'er thought for a while: "It seems to be the direction to the general's study."
Go to the study room... that's where business gets down to business.
Hua Qingxue was confused and subconsciously went out: "I'll go over and see what happened."
"Madam, I'm with you." Xi'er put down the fruit plate and followed Hua Qingxue forward.
Not long after, the master and the servant arrived outside Fu Tingye's study. The guards stopped Xi'er, allowing only Hua Qingxue to pass without announcing.
Hua Qingxue slowly approached the study, and the sounds inside could be faintly heard.
"You are Xiao Han's, right." It was Fu Tingye's voice.
Hua Qingxue paused for a moment and took a breath of cold air!
There are actually spies in the mansion, and the person the general is investigating... could it be Tongtong? !
How is this possible... Her head turned into a mess for a moment.
In the study, Tongtong stood in front of Fu Tingye, his little head hanging down and he nodded, admitting straightforwardly.
A murderous intent flashed through Fu Tingye's eyes: "It's best to tell the truth about what you have done."
Tongtong opened his mouth, but he could only make a hoarse voice, as if his throat was filled with lead.
Hua Qingxue covered her mouth outside, unable to believe this fact. How could the deaf-mute girl Tongtong, a child who had been abused, get in touch with Xiao Han
But if you think about it carefully... Tongtong is indeed the most useful person in the house.
Because no one would be on guard against her... In the flash of lightning, she suddenly thought that many things that happened in the house were mixed with pain.
"General, why are you forcing yourself so hard?"
A clear female voice suddenly came from the room, shocking Hua Qingxue's consciousness.
If the guess is correct, there must be only two people in the room, Fu Tingye and Tongtong, and this female voice... must be Tongtong.
So she's not mute? !
In the distance, Qin Laowu had already passed by the guards and was walking towards this side. Hua Qingxue thought about it for a moment, then turned around and hurried out.
As for Tongtong, you can ask Fu Tingye privately when he comes out. He definitely doesn't want to be disturbed at this moment.
"Madam, where are you going?" Qin Laowu looked at her in surprise, then looked at the closed study door: "The general is inside, just knock on the door."
No need for you to remind me!
Hua Qingxue looked a little stiff: "The general is dealing with important matters, I'll come back another time."
"Oh, do you need me to tell the general?" Qin Laowu added in hindsight.
Hua Qingxue had already walked a long way, but she still stopped and turned around: "I think it's inconvenient for you to go in and disturb him at this time, right?"
Qin Laowu was confused and stretched out his hand to scratch his head: "Madam's reminder makes sense."
Hua Qingxue smiled faintly and then took Xi'er back.
Qin Laowu was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to hear a woman's voice coming from the general's study. Although he couldn't hear what was said, he could clearly tell that it was a woman, yes!
No wonder Madam’s expression was a little strange just now. Could it be that the General was... hiding a beauty in a golden house, and was caught doing it? !
No no no!
He quickly gave up the idea, but then he thought, that's not right! Last time, the madam and her pretty-faced apprentice couldn't explain each other, and the straight-tempered Wu Zhuo brought them to the attention of the general. The general must have a grudge.
So you are looking for an opportunity to take revenge on Madam and let Madam hide the feeling of being misunderstood
Qin Laowu found that his brain was a little weak. Could the general be such a person? But didn't the widow in his family often tell him that when it comes to relationships, both of them are idiots and will do stupid things.
He thought it made sense... No, we can't let the general go astray. He, Qin Laowu, has to find justice for his wife today.
