Shao Gonggong was not an ordinary person. He used to be a popular man around Qin Fei's wife, and now he is dedicated to serving King Li.
He who dares to offend the king is better than offended.
Because the emperor still has reason and heart, and people plead for mercy. Even if he can't be exonerated from the crime, considering the influence of various aspects, the emperor can reduce the guilt a little bit.
But king Li is not. Don't expect him to reduce his responsibility for anyone. As long as he doesn't kill innocent people, everyone will be Amitabha.
Some people will ask, why does the emperor connive at Li Wang, who killed innocent people so indiscriminately?
The reason is simple.
King Li is like a knife in the emperor's hand. A good knife can cut ghosts, break gods and kill people like hemp, but it must be simmered with human blood. If human blood is not enough, the best knife will not be sharp enough.
In addition, the emperor wants to convince others by virtue, but a spoiled lawless prince can do anything he wants with a strong hand. However, the emperor has won the reputation of doting on the prince.
If you ask the emperor which prince he likes best, some people will say that he is a prince who is close to the government and loves the people, and some people will say that he is knowledgeable. In fact, the emperor's favorite is exactly this king Li.
Because of all the princes, only Li Wang's mother's family has no background, only the arrogant and cruel king without his ministers to follow, is his most assured prince.
Who is not afraid of such a confidant?
Don't mention Gu Shangshu's family shaking three times. It's just that old doctor Ma has subconsciously got up his spirits for fear of not being well received.
After a while, Shao Gonggong came forward to greet Zheng with cordial enthusiasm, and exchanged greetings with Gu Shangshu and doctor Matthew. Then he turned his face, just with a sense of arrogance, but in front of Gu Qianxue, he was pitiful, "my little sister-in-law, why don't you go there? Our Lord is going to be angry!"
"Mr. Shao, please calm down. It's not that I don't want to go today, but I was blocked by people in the early morning and couldn't get out of the courtyard. Some trivial things happened at home." Said, then coldly to Liu aunt and Pei aunt place a glance.
Shao Gonggong also with Gu Qianxue's eyes to see, suddenly understand a general.
Aunt Liu was so scared that she almost peed her pants and lowered her head. She would like to find a seam to jump in and never come out.
Shao Gonggong snorted and said in his sinister voice, "you, shangshufu is really a good place. An aunt actually bullies Miss Di's courtyard. This kind of joke is the favorite of my elder brother Kang. When we meet old brother Kang, we must tell him."
Elder brother Kang is not talking about anyone else, but is Kang Quan, the eunuch who serves the emperor.
This is more terrible than telling King Li that the most important family and filial piety in this dynasty. If any minister spoils my wife and destroys his wife, he will be punished! And this kind of concubine room bullies to the legitimate female head, is not guilty, also has to have no small punishment.
Zheng's scared, "Shao Gonggong, don't, everything is a misunderstanding." Then he looked at Gu Qianxue with pleading eyes, "Qian Xue, you can talk about it. This is related to your father's future."
Gu Qianxue took a look at Gu Shangshu, and saw that Gu Shangshu's face was green and white. He gritted his teeth and knew that the warning had worked. He said with a smile, "Mr. Shao is really mistaken. They blocked my gate to tell me that my mother Zhao is pregnant. This is not true. Even Dr. Matthew has been invited." With that, he stretched out his hand to doctor Ma Tai.
Doctor Matthew immediately said, "Duke Shao, that's what happened."
Shao Gonggong and other old slickers naturally know that this is Gu Qianxue's small trick. They do not tear them apart and pretend to be a surprise, "what, is your wife happy? Oh, that's a good thing. Congratulations to the old prince and to Gu Shangshu. "
"Thank you, Mr. Shao." Zheng's heart finally returned to the stomach, and then beckoned to the old lady, who in a moment sent two exquisite cloth bags.
Zheng gave both hands of the bag to Shao Gonggong and doctor Matthew, "please come here today. I don't want to pay homage to you. Just invite you to have a cup of tea."
Two people a dark one, yo, very heavy, and then gently open a seam, golden, actually gold.
Both of them were very happy and said a lot of auspicious words.
Doctor Matthew was sent away first. Duke Shao asked Gu Qianxue, "Miss Gu, although it's a big thing that the lady is happy, she hasn't been born yet. It's a long time. But if you don't go to the palace of Li, you'll be blamed by the Lord."
Gu Qianxue said with a smile, "naturally, the palace is going to go. The body of Princess Qin's mother is more important than my mother's body, but I have to settle my mother first. I also have to trouble Mr. Shao to go back and tell King Li that I will go in a moment."
“……” They are speechless, and their hearts are sweating for Gu Qianxue.
Is Li Wang the kind of person who can say anything at will?
However, Shao Gonggong didn't like it. He bowed his hands and said goodbye to everyone. Then he left happily holding gold. Eunuchs love money, both in ancient China and in Nanyue.
After Shao Gonggong left, the peony hall was quiet.
Zheng cast a cold glance at the aunts, "today's business you also see, the mistress is happy, you should be happy, on weekdays, good service, if Zhao has a three faults, you can not fall a good, remember?"All Auntie hurriedly respectfully replied, "I remember."
In the ancient backyard, protected by the old lady and the owner of the house, no one dared to lay down a stumbling block.
The method in the backyard is spicy and hidden, which can be compared with the pickling in the court? It's not that men don't want to investigate, but they are too lazy to do so. If things that can't be seen in the backyard really get to the yamen, there's no case that can't be solved, and there's no conspiracy that can't be uncovered.
"Liu Shi, you come out for me!" Gu Shangshu beat the table hard. Today, the person he hates most is Liu.
If it wasn't Liu family, how could it have offended Shao Gonggong? If it wasn't Liu family, how could it have almost hurt Zhao The baby in the stomach.
Liu's family is dead ash, kneeling, kneeling to the center of the hall, feeling sluggish enough to cry.
"Father, can my daughter ask Aunt Liu a few words first?" Gu Qianxue asked.
"Well, you ask." Gu Shangshu, who dares not to agree, is really offended by her daughter.
Gu Qianxue stepped forward and stood in front of Liu's family. Then he squatted down and said in a soft voice, "Aunt Liu, do you honestly answer me and curse this thing? Did you think of it yourself or was it told you by others?"
Aunt Liu shuddered and said, "yes It is... "
"I don't want to do wrong to any innocent person, and I won't let go of any one who deserves it. Aunt Liu, whether you are the innocent or the one who deserves it, you should weigh it by yourself." Gu Qianxue's voice suddenly cooled down. It was still the gentle and crisp voice of a girl, but suddenly it was as cold as bone chilling ice and suppressed like a thousand jin boulder.
