Chapter 497

Shi Xiaorui saw a little exaggerated white fog, just remember, today seems to be a little bit colder than yesterday.

After a simple lunch, Lu Shao accompanies Shi Xiaorui to go around in the yard.

Before the ewe gnawed rose tenacious survived, and grow into a strange shape, do not know is gnawed out of the words, looking at a little bit inexplicably good-looking.

Standing beside the rose with crooked neck, Shi Xiaorui glanced at Lu Shao.

Although Lu Shao doesn't like to talk much at ordinary times, his silence is not the same today.

Shi Xiaorui reaches out his hand to shake in front of him, and is caught by Lu Shao subconsciously.

His hand is very strong, Shi Xiaorui caught off guard and called in a low voice.

Lu Shao woke up like a dream and let go.

Shi Xiaorui said, "what's the matter with you?"

She always had a simple mind and trusted Lu Shao's ability. She felt that since he had reached an agreement with Lu Xun, as long as he abided by the agreement, there would be no change. Like other people in the family who didn't know much about it, they all thought it was over. At most, they were just about to finish. They were waiting to remove the thread from Lu Xun's wound, so that everyone could walk the road to the sky, Maybe we won't deal with each other any more.

Shi Xiaorui still doesn't have a clear sense of identity. She doesn't regard Chen Wang and his family who are against the imperial court as enemies. After reaching an agreement, she never thought about going to report Lu Xun and others.

Of course, Lu Shao didn't intend to sue the officials. He was just worried about how to improve his powerless situation.

Although the old general had always been kind to them, Lu Shao did not dare to put his hope on him.

Lu Shao didn't want to guess what kind of decision the veteran general would make once his position was contrary to his righteousness.

Fortunately, the old general didn't come to the door these days. Otherwise, if he found that Shi Xiaorui was not at home, he would easily cause trouble.

Lu Shao didn't care about the court and reached an agreement with King Chen's adopted son, but the old general took a different stand. Although he was dissatisfied with the emperor, he was definitely against King Chen's rebellion. It's hard to say what the result would be.

Lu Shao doesn't want to let Shi Xiaorui worry about such complicated things. He hopes that she will keep her simple appearance and don't have to consider so many complicated things. It's enough for him to worry about these things.

So Lu Shao gave a fork in the road and said, "I'm thinking about when the storm in the capital will subside."

It's been several days since those people were arrested in the imperial edict prison. It's said that the prison guards in the imperial edict prison are all experienced hands. The torture in the prison can't be tolerated by these officials who are usually respected and treated well. Even if some of them are hard, most of them can't stand it. I'm afraid that they will admit what they have committed and just ask for relief. However, there is no news from the imperial edict prison.

Lu Shao didn't think it was those people who left their hands. He was afraid that there was the emperor's instruction.

Is he soft hearted?

Lu Shao shook his head. It's impossible. No one is soft hearted. I'm afraid he won't be soft hearted.

Or did the emperor have a new plan?

Lu Shao guessed, but he didn't have any other information channels. He couldn't analyze anything just by the information he had.

Shi Xiaorui's heart is very big: "I know about this, but fortunately we can't get involved in it, that is, the emperor is really cruel, but I'm really surprised that he can cover up the assassins in the palace so tightly."

Isn't it that even a stone in the palace can speak? How did it come here? On the contrary, the truth of this matter was so easily covered up?

The news in the palace spread quickly, but it had to be said. On that day, most of the people who knew the truth had been arrested by the emperor on the pretext of unfavourable guard. Now they are all dead and no one is left. Of course, there will be no inappropriate words.

The atmosphere in the palace is also very strange these days.

The concubines of the seven princes are all high-ranking concubines, and they have grown-up princes. No one is willing to offend them easily in the palace. Although the young concubines are more favored, they don't dare to face them.

As soon as the incident happened this time, everyone knows that these people are afraid to be abandoned. Except that the empress is Zhonggong, she is still a little dignified. Other days are not easy.

Apart from other things, in the past, the daily rules would not be deducted. The smart palace people in the palace were even willing to deduct the rules of other unpopular concubines to subsidize them. The materials and clothes of the whole year were their first choice.

Although they have not yet been embezzled, these people are not as attentive as they used to be.

Compared with these concubines' hard life, the young concubines of the empress went more diligently.

In particular, several young concubines, who have been in favor recently, haven't come with the little prince, but they have been here for a long time, and they often tentatively mention their son.

Among them, the smarter ones only mentioned it a little while chatting, and soon passed two or three sentences on the topic of children, so that the queen could remember it from time to time and achieve her goal. Some stupid people, talking about their children, can't close the chatterbox. The queen sat on her head with a stiff face, and she wanted to sew the mouths of these stupid people with needles and thread.

The most annoying thing is that there are a lot of such idiots.

When the emperor first ascended the throne, he married the daughters of many high-ranking officials in order to secure his position. After these concubines gave birth to sons, because of the emperor's deliberate indulgence, they soon became ambitious and connected with each other in the court. In the end, they caused a lot of trouble to the emperor.

Later, the emperor simply did not choose the official's daughter, but chose some good-looking common people's daughter. Even if he was later favored, he could not make any big waves in the previous dynasty.

And the development of things is just like what he thought. Even if some favored concubines ask him for gold and silver official positions for their families, and even the whole family moves to the capital, it doesn't help much.

They have no inside information in their families, and even some of them don't even know the words. The officials who came up from the scientific examination also look down on the people who came to power relying on nepotism. They were mediocre in the former dynasty. At most, other officials didn't provoke them in the face of the concubines behind them. It was basically a delusion to want to do well in the former dynasty.

But these families don't even send boys to school, let alone girls. When they don't know a big word and no one teaches them, the average standard of these girls can be imagined. They are basically relying on their natural good looks and some superficial caution.
