Chapter 49

Xu Mingyi knew that the mistake was naturally on her.

"Anyway, sir, it's bothering."

In the last life, it was Mr. Yao's divination that saved her.

In this life, she has to avoid "robbery" for the whole town and state government by herself.

The girl saluted again and then walked to the study.

Yao Jing looked at the slender but tenacious back, and his fundus doubts became more and more serious.

Ah Zhu came forward and knocked on the door of the study.

"Come in."

The voice of the Duke of the town came from the study.

Ah Zhu pushes the door open and Xu Mingyi goes in.

"Grandpa."

"It's Zhaozhao."

The Duke of the town after the book case smiled and waved to his granddaughter, "come and sit and talk."

He was alone in his study at this time, not dealing with any important military affairs, but taking a pig sideburns brush and carefully brushing and grinding two new round walnuts.

When he first came to Beijing with the emperor, the emperor worried that he was too impetuous and should find some elegant hobbies to cultivate himself. Otherwise, it would not be a matter to fight with people in three or two days... The old man racked his brains to choose a large circle and finally chose a plate of walnuts.

It can only be so elegant. No more is really not enough.

And in the first few years when I tried to press, it took a lot of money.

"Grandpa just came back from the palace?"

Ah Zhu moved a chair from one side. Xu Mingyi sat down and asked.

The Duke of the town nodded, clutched the clean painted walnuts in his palm, and said gently, "it's almost finished. You can have a rest at home for a while."

He intends to take advantage of this period of time to smooth out many ideas.

Xu Mingyi nodded and then asked in a low voice, "Grandpa knows that the prince fell into the water. Did you find any eyebrows in the palace?"

The Duke of the town looked upright, shook his head slightly and said, "I heard some words when I entered the palace today... I can't find anything new about it. The little eunuch may have confessed."

Last night, the emperor called them to the imperial study. A group of literary ministers talked a lot about it. He just listened and didn't interrupt.

The most suspected is the pregnant Rong Guifei.

However, Princess Rong is pregnant, and the emperor attaches great importance to this unborn child

Or there is another secret, or waiting for the liquidation afterwards, but in a word, the emperor seems to have no intention to further investigate and expand the matter for the time being.

Xu Mingyi was not surprised.

She had thought that the palace would suppress the truth for some reason.

But what is the truth?

"It may not be Rong Guifei." she frowned slightly and said, "even if there is a desire for the position of Prince, there is no reason to be so anxious. Moreover, this matter is not only directed at the prince's hall, but also to the prince's son -"

When it comes to competing for the throne of Prince, the premise must be to give birth to a dragon. But if Princess Rong can really give birth to a dragon, she doesn't have to worry that the emperor will inherit the ancestral chamber. What's the reason to start with King Shizi?

The town looked at its granddaughter.

He did not mention Rong Guifei just now, but Zhaozhao seemed to see through the current situation at a glance, not to mention that he could analyze the matter so carefully and rationally——

"If Zhaozhao were a man, he would be more useful than Mr. Yao to be a military teacher." the Duke of the town came back and said with satisfaction.

"If you're not a man, you can't do it?"

The Duke of the town couldn't help laughing and said, "naturally you can do it! But where is your grandfather willing to make you suffer?"

"Where is hardship? For me, as long as the family is reunited and safe, the day is the sweetest." the girl's tone is smiling, but her eyes are very serious: "if Grandpa really has a place where he can use me, I'm not happy yet. Our town government is big and has a heavy burden, so Grandpa shouldn't carry it all alone."

In her childhood, her grandfather was like a mountain that could cover all the wind and rain. It was always reassuring. As long as her grandfather was there, she didn't have to worry about anything.

Now she doesn't want to be a child protected by the mountain. She also has to shoulder her responsibilities.

The Duke of the town was stunned for a moment, but his eyes were a little sour.

"Well, Zhaozhao can really share his worries for his grandfather..." he nodded and didn't say anything again, "you don't have to worry about everything with your grandfather.".

He wanted his only granddaughter to be carefree forever.

But his idea is his idea. She still has to choose how the child lives.

Zhaozhao wanted to live in a warm room without wind and rain all her life, so he protected the warm room for her. If she wanted to go out and do something, she would not be stopped by her grandfather.

"About the prince, the palace intends to hold it down for the time being, but I don't know if there will be other waves in the future. Grandpa should pay more attention."

The Duke agreed and nodded.

"Yes, it should be."

Seeing that her grandfather was really interested in her words, Xu Mingyi didn't say more about it, and then talked about another thing.

"Grandpa, granddaughter has another question for you."

The Duke of the town nodded to her to just ask.

"Is there any family heirloom in our house?" the girl whispered.

It seems that every child will be curious.

The Duke of Zhenguo held a walnut in his hand, nodded and said, "heirloom, of course."

"What is that --"

"This still needs to ask?" the old man took it for granted: "of course it's us Zhaozhao!"

This is the most precious treasure in his family!

Xu Mingyi couldn't help laughing.

"What about me?" she had the cheek to seriously recognize the name of heirloom, and only asked, "is there anything else unknown and important that needs to be properly preserved?"

The Duke of town thought for a moment and shook his head.

"There are some rare treasures, but they can't be called how important..."

After all, their town government doesn't lack those at all.

Xu Mingyi doesn't doubt that the old man's words are false.

But would it not have occurred to you for a while? Or did her statement make her grandfather forget the existence of that thing?

"Why did Zhaozhao ask this?"

"This is not what my granddaughter wants to ask, but what Mr. Zhan wants to ask secretly through Liu Yi -" Xu Mingyi said directly and simply: "my granddaughter suspects that Mr. Zhan and his son have plans."

She didn't intend to hide her family's attitude towards Zhan family, but at that time, Liu Yigang was sent to the government. For the time being, she didn't want Zhan Yunzhu to notice too many differences, so she didn't tell her grandfather until more than ten days later.

If you want to say it clearly, Xu Mingyi will say something about Zhan Yunzhu's use of Liu Yi over the years.

The Duke of town frowned.
