Zhao Changhe usually prides himself on being quite smart, and can even pretend to be very smart when solving cases, but it seems like his brain is really at a standstill right now.
How come Tang Wanzhuang and the imperial concubine quarreled in public, and others seemed to be used to it. No matter what, the Huangfu family is full of loyal and brave people, shouldn't they be on the same side as you? What's the matter with this quarrel...
Yes, the Huangfu family is full of loyal and brave people, so how come the eldest daughter is a traitor named Yi Huoshe
Then how could you, a concubine, be out of the palace for so long? Are all the people in the palace blind? Won't the emperor go looking for you
No, if you were the imperial concubine, then when I flirted with you before, wasn't that my stepmother? Uh, no, that was Chi Chi's stepmother... You bumped into me with your ball, hugged my waist, and almost had a pig-to-pig collision.
What the fuck am I doing
Uh, no, why are you a virgin
Then, since they have a concubine, why did the Four Elephants Sect want to form an alliance with the Queen's party, the Wang family? Isn't this a conflict? It seems that you killed the Crown Prince, the biological son of Queen Wang? So this alliance is just to deliberately clear the suspicion of killing the Crown Prince
And then... I have peeked at Winged Fire Snake's face, but she has no idea that she is acting like a royal concubine and pretending to be powerful. What attitude should I have towards her that would be reasonable
The CPU was not enough to sort out so many lines in an instant. Zhao Changhe was down for a short time. Tang Wanzhuang's expression became ugly over there: "You really don't want to move sitting here, right?"
The imperial concubine smiled and said, "Oh... Lord Tang, if I remember correctly, this person asked Tang Wanzhuang to wash up and wait for him. What, Lord Tang has washed up?"
Tang Wanzhuang had a blank expression on her face: "Didn't you know who he was? Now you know?"
"I didn't react at first, but then I remembered when I looked at his broadsword and the scar on his face. There aren't many such features." The imperial concubine asked curiously, "Prime Minister Tang issued the wanted order himself. Is he going to capture him now?"
Tang Wanzhuang gritted her teeth secretly. There was really no way she could argue with anyone about this matter. Zhao Changhe was the one who made the dirty jokes known to the world. This time someone used it to make a fuss, so theoretically she should beat Zhao Changhe. You didn't beat him, so did that mean you agreed
She glared at Zhao Changhe fiercely. It was you who told the dirty joke, and it was you who pretended to distance yourself from the matter and asked me to come and see him in person. Now you are embarrassed by being blocked by others, and you just sit there without saying a word!
Zhao Changhe was glared at so hard that he jumped up and said to the imperial concubine, "This... Madam, I am here to discuss military affairs. I don't understand military affairs. I'd better talk to the Demon Suppression Division about what role I can play. Bye."
Tang Wanzhuang's expression became dull, and her eyebrows were raised.
I was the one who found He Lei's whereabouts!
Not only do you use it to please Tang Wanzhuang, but you also use it as a bargaining chip to reject me
Zhao Changhe felt his scalp tingling when he saw her eyes, and thought to himself, it's all over.
How did this turn out...
But no matter how unhappy Zhuque was, she couldn't really openly ask Zhao Changhe to stay overnight. What would that mean? She could only hold her slender hands and watch Zhao Changhe leave with Tang Wanzhuang, her lungs bursting with anger.
Huangfu Shaozong didn't know what happened until Zhao Changhe left. He smiled and asked his sister, "How are you these days, sister?"
Zhuque had come out of the palace specifically to wander around, especially to see her brother, so as to avoid her family's doubts and worries. She actually didn't know that Zhao Changhe had come to her house, and she was surprised to see him unexpectedly. As a result, Tang Wanzhuang also came, and she had a quarrel with this little bitch out of habit. Thinking back, she felt stupid.
Seeing her brother asking, she quickly calmed down and said calmly: "I am mostly in seclusion, so you should not visit me no matter what. Although His Majesty doesn't care much, there is no rule that foreign ministers can run into the palace at any time."
Huangfu Shaozong waved his hand to let the servants leave, and lowered his voice: "You and I both know the nature of this imperial concubine. My sister volunteered to be this hostage, how can we not be worried? Our family is full of loyal and brave people, and he..."
"Be careful with your words!" Zhuque said lazily, "You'd better get this concept out of your mind completely, so as not to let it slip again in the future."
Huangfu Shaozong sighed and said nothing more.
Zhuque said: "The palace has all the resources, and it also makes it easier for me to practice, so it's not without benefits. This is just a nominal transaction, and I have nothing to do with him. What's wrong with each taking what they need? Don't always think that I'm at a disadvantage."
Huangfu Shaozong stammered, "Actually... if it's true, there's nothing wrong with it... if I can have a baby..."
Zhuque glanced at him sideways: "Why, now you think your sister can make a good tool?"
"No, no, I just said that. My sister will get married eventually, but because of this incident, she has lost her family. I feel sorry for her." Huangfu Shaozong's voice was so low that even he couldn't hear it: "He is still in seclusion for a long time? It's already this time, and he can still stay in seclusion. Is he going to die..."
"Shut up." Zhuque said unhappily, "Ask your foolishly loyal father first!"
Huangfu Shaozong pursed his lips and said after a while: "He is only loyal to the common people."
Zhuque stopped talking, and after a long while he sighed: "You can have more contact with Zhao Changhe. He doesn't fit in the Tang family, so you can invite him to live here." "His identity..."
"Which bastard told me that the knife was not real?" Zhuque suddenly became furious and grabbed his brother by the collar: "It's fine if you are blindly loyal, but you also deliberately misled me and prevented me from killing his remaining offspring, right?"
Huangfu Shaozong turned his head away awkwardly: "Really don't kill..."
"I won't kill him!" Zhuque said coldly, "I changed my mind. Now I want to use him! Are you happy?"
Huangfu Shaozong twitched his lips. Whether it was killing or using weapons, he didn't want to get involved.
But since Zhao Changhe himself said he wanted to live here, and his sister also said so, Huangfu Shaozong thought about it and sighed: "Okay, I'll make friends with him and invite him to Yihong in the evening..."
Before he could finish his words, his sister kicked him for no apparent reason. Huangfu Shaozong was caught off guard and fell on his butt, completely confused.
"You are already an adult, you should learn something good instead of just knowing about Yihonglou all the time!"
"I, I don't go there often. You didn't say anything when I went there before..."
Zhuque gritted his teeth, knowing that he shouldn't act too strange, so he snorted coldly and turned away: "I'm going back to the palace first. The weather is nice and cool these few days, I will go out of the palace often, we'll talk then."
Huangfu Shaozong saw his sister off. When passing by the patio, he looked up at the sky, which was covered with thick dark clouds.
… …
Demon Suppression Division.
Zhao Changhe sat in the first room with his hands in his pockets, while Tang Wanzhuang sat in front of him, making tea with her bare hands.
The fragrance of tea wafts in the air, the beauty is as gentle as water, and the chaos just now quickly disappears, as if the world has changed.
Every time I am with Tang Wanzhuang, I can feel my whole soul calm down. No matter where I am, it feels like I am boating on a water town.
Especially since he had just left the impetuous Miss Winged Fire Snake, the contrast was particularly strong.
How could Winged Fire Snake be a concubine? It doesn't make sense from any perspective.
Zhao Changhe is still in the dream.
"I received your letter. Wei Zicai also submitted his apology and resignation. I did not punish him. I just transferred him to another place and did not let him continue to mix with Sha Qi." Tang Wanzhuang said slowly: "Regarding the matter of He Lei, I just organized elite soldiers to go to Beimang. If necessary, I will go there in person."
Zhao Changhe said that he came to the capital to discuss things with Tang Wanzhuang in person, but in fact he asked the Demon Suppression Division in Jianhu City to deliver the letter, otherwise the journey was too long and he was afraid that it would delay important matters. He was worried that it might not be delivered, but now it seems that the Demon Suppression Division has not completely deteriorated, and it has been delivered.
"As for the rumor you mentioned in your letter, the Demon Suppression Division is now investigating it as a top priority. This is nonsense and can be easily resolved. There is no need to worry too much. At most, the rumor will spread more widely in the Maitreya sect, but that's not a big deal. Once Jiangnan is pacified, this kind of thing will naturally be resolved."
Zhao Changhe finally said "hmm". He had thought the rumors were serious before, but in fact, as long as the court wanted to intervene, it was not a big deal. And Tang Wanzhuang would take this matter more seriously than he did.
The Wang family didn't have time to make up a more reasonable rumor. The rumors they made up were too ridiculous and relatively easy to deal with. How could they use a broadsword as an excuse? Anyone who is a little older knows that the emperor himself used this kind of sword.
So... the letter has been delivered, and what I wanted to communicate with Tang Wanzhuang has actually been completed long ago. Then what on earth am I doing in the capital
Tang Wanzhuang sipped her tea in a very ladylike manner, but her words were not ladylike at all: "No matter how beautiful Huangfu Qing is, she is still a concubine. Stop looking at her face with your eyes! What a character!"
"Puff..." Zhao Changhe spat out the tea.
Huangfu Qing... This name is pretty good.
By the way, it seems that Tang Wanzhuang and she have a deep grudge... Did she come to the capital to find out some gossip
