First Lady of the Crown Prince Chapter 227

  Chapter 227 Punishment (two more)

The emperor and Xuan Pinghou went out of the palace for a reason, and it is not surprising that they would run into Lord Hou. Originally, the three of them had booked a place to do something secretly together.

   just met in advance.

  The three of the emperor went to a nearby...theatre.

  Yes, it's the theater.

  Everyone knows that Xuanping Hou is unruly and unruly, he loves to listen to drama, he often goes in and out here, but no one knows that this was originally an industry under his name.

  The three people entered the wing, and the boy outside closed the door.

  The emperor was half-dead with wounds on his head. After he sat down, he said impatiently: "To make a long story short! How is the matter?"

  Old Master Hou did not dare to neglect, he bowed his hand and said: "In response to your majesty, since the news of the beating of the minister and returning to Beijing, the whereabouts of the minister has been watched."

  "The Zhuang family?" the emperor asked.

  Xuan Pinghou grabbed a handful of melon seeds.

  The emperor glared at him.

   "Oh." The seeds were not allowed to be eaten. Your Majesty was so angry, Xuan Pinghou reluctantly put the seeds back.

  Old Houye nodded: "Yes, today, the old minister went to the temple, and the King Anjun quietly followed."

  The emperor frowned: "He actually followed you by himself?"

  Lord Hou didn't realize it was strange: "His guards and veterans know him, so he can only take risks by himself."

  It's not easy to find King An. Old Houye barely noticed on the way there. When King An got on the carriage a little earlier, he was discovered by the old Houye.

  As for why he was in trouble, Lord Hou did not know.

  When talking about business, the emperor's face became serious: "Where is the Queen Mother? Is there any eyebrow?"

  Master Hou speculated: "The minister thinks...the Queen Mother may have already entered Beijing."

  The emperor furrowed his brows tighter: "Why did you say this?"

Old Hou Ye thoughtfully said: "Although the dealer is still pretending to look for the queen mother, their search speed is much slower. Moreover, when King An left the capital, he appeared to accompany his sister on a tour of the mountains and rivers, but he was actually inquiring along the way. The news about the Queen Mother. After that, the Queen of An County returned to Beijing under the name of the township examination... Fortunately, the old minister said that the King of An County was still young, so he couldn't give up looking for the Queen Mother for an imperial examination."

  The emperor pondered for a moment, feeling that Lord Hou's words were not unreasonable: “So you think he returned to Beijing because he found the queen mother? But now that he has found it, why not let the queen mother go back to the palace?”

  The queen mother returned to Beijing. It was the emperor who was more afraid of it. The Chuang family held a heaven card in their hands but did not play. What kind of routine is this?

  Old Houye pondered: "This...the minister is also puzzled. Maybe...the queen mother's leprosy has not been cured. They are secretly treating the queen mother?"

  A leprosy queen mother will be despised and despised by others. When Empress Dowager Zhuang contracted leprosy, they all thought it was a chance to bring down the queen mother, but who expected the queen mother to escape by herself.

   If they dare to say that the Queen Mother Zhuang left the palace privately, Mrs. Zhuang dared to question in public whether they murdered the Queen Mother.

  They did not dare to block the win or lose, so they had to use a roundabout strategy, claiming that the queen mother had a sudden illness and went to the palace to recover.

   Then they intentionally or unintentionally let the dealer find out the news that the Queen Mother had fled with leprosy.

  The Zhuang family also taboo that this disease will ruin the Queen Mother's reputation, so hold it down without sending it, and look for the Queen Mother in private.

  The two sides achieved a delicate balance in a short time.

  But this balance will be broken someday.

  If Mrs. Zhuang really finds the Queen Mother, and heals the Queen Mother, then the two parties will not be far from the day of breaking the balance.

  The journey from the medical hall to the temple was not close, and the road was delayed for a while. When Gu Jiao returned to Bishuihu, it was already the twilight quarter.

  A bright glow from the sky, falling on a piece of red wall and green tiles, smudged with warm orange light.

  Gu Jiao walked into the alley and really felt that she was going home.

  She had never experienced this kind of feeling in her previous life.

  In her previous life, she lived with her parents for a few days, blank and indifferent, without the slightest warmth of home.

  The so-called home is just a residence.

  Now it seems to have a new meaning.

  After a busy day, she will be eager to come back here, eager to see the people in the house.

  She is not always tireless, but she is used to being tired. No one will hurt her anyway, so it's useless to be hypocritical.

   "Jiaojiao!"

The voice of Xiao Jingkong interrupted Gu Jiao's thoughts.

  The little guy sat on the threshold again, waiting for her.

  In the morning, he fell and cried so much that he was crying, but now he ran towards her and threw himself into her arms.

  She wanted to pick him up, but he shook his head and said, "No, Jiaojiao is so tired."

  He resisted the urge to hug, and took Gu Jiao's hand.

  "Does the leg still hurt?" Gu Jiao bent over to pull his pant leg.

   Xiao Jingkong shook his head: "It doesn't hurt!"

  In fact, it's still a bit painful, but Xiaojingkong's acting like a baby is based on the premise that it does not increase the burden on Gu Jiao.

   "Sister!" Gu Xiaoshun heard the movement at the door and threw down half of the carpentry work at hand. He rushed out like a little monkey and helped Gu Jiao get her small back basket, "Give it to me!"

  Gu Xiaoshun insisted on holding the small back basket in her hand, and carefully put her small medicine box into her east room.

   Gu Yan was originally shoveling chicken cakes for the small clearance in the yard. The shoveling made him shovel and smoke. He didn't have any free time and didn't care about Xiao Shun. Finally, he saw his sister. His beautiful face was so black.

  Gu Jiao was amused by his appearance.

  Gu Yan turned back awkwardly.

  Gu Jiao went to coax him.

  It is difficult for others to coax him, but is it not easy for Gu Jiao to coax him? Gu Jiao pulled his hand, and he lost his temper.

  Yao came out of the stove with a plate of newly cooked steamed cakes, and when she saw her daughter, her brows were gentle: "Jiaojiao is back? I just made some snacks. Go and see if my aunt is awake?"

   "Good!" Xiao Jingkong loves to go to her aunt's house for rounds, and she always finds something, and she feels full of accomplishment!

  Small clearance ran to the old lady's house whirring.

  The old lady was holding a jar of candied fruit, eating it babbled.

  Lao Jijiu sat opposite her speechlessly, just watching her eating all afternoon.

  Is it so edible?

  How long has he been hungry for you?

   "Auntie!" Xiaojingkong ran over!

  The old lady stuffed the jar of candied fruit into the arms of the old Jijiu with a thunderous force.

  Old Jijiu looked at the jar that suddenly appeared in his arms: "..."

  You pressed me here all afternoon for this moment?

  Old Jijiu didn't want to take the pot back, so he immediately returned the jar to the old lady.

  As soon as I entered the room, I saw that the old Jijiu stretched out the jar of candied fruit in front of the old lady, and the old lady hugged her arms, her face was firm and rejected!

   The old lady snorted her nose: "I told you that I can't eat it. It's useless for you to bully and lure!"

  Old Sacrificial Wine: "..."

  So half a jar of candied fruit was eaten by a ghost?

Can    still have the face and self-consciousness of the evil demon queen?

  Old Jijiu sighed.

  It's no wonder that A Heng took the Demon Empress with her at ease, and the current appearance of the Demon Empress was really not a threat.

   is suffering him.

  Day by day, either being robbed or being scammed, miserable old age!

  But said that after King Anjun said goodbye to Gu Jiao, he went to the hospital first and found Miaoshoutang to order a batch of gold sore medicine.

   Annoyed her today, take care of her business and coax her.

After   , King An took a carriage back to the mansion.

  Tao Fu Zhuang is already waiting in the flower hall.

  Because of the Queen Mother's affairs, Mrs. Zhuang had a lot of heartache, and people were a lot older.

   "Grandfather." Wang Anjun entered the house and saluted.

  The old **** Zhuang Taifu glanced at him, and said in a calm tone: "Why did you come back so late? Did you follow it all day?"

  Anjun Wang looked down: "No, I bought something on the way back to the house."

   Taifu Zhuang closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled: "Is his whereabouts abnormal?"

  Anjun Wang replied: "He went to the cable bridge that had been repaired to take a look, he should be looking at the quality of the cable bridge."

The    cable bridge was repaired by Master Gu. It is said that Master Gu was beaten by Master Lao Hou recently, and he was behind closed doors at home to recover from his injuries. It makes sense that Master Lao Hou would go to check the cable bridge for him.

  But Old Houye is by no means a simple military commander. He is a brave and strategizing old man. He takes one step and counts ten steps away.

   Taifu Zhuang suspected that the old Hou Ye's beating his son was deliberate, so that he could look around in an open manner on the pretext of acting for his son.

  After all, there are too many things in the Ministry of Engineering, all over all corners of the capital. No one will suspect that Lao Houye appears anywhere.

  Of course it was someone else, not Mrs. Zhuang.

Mr. Zhuang frowned suspiciously: "I just looked at the cable bridge? Didn't do anything else? For example, who did you see? What happened?"

  I met Princess Jing...and Gu Jiao by chance.

  Anjun Wang's hand buried under his wide sleeves scratched the hem of the grabbing shirt without a trace: "He walked around the temple, and he didn't meet anyone."

Mr. Zhuang touched his beard, and meditated: "This is weird. Is it possible that he really went to check the cable bridge?"

  Anjun Wang looked down.

   Quietly without answering.

  For the first time in his life, he lied to his grandfather.

   County King An has always been obedient, and sent him to Chen Guo as a hostage at the age of eight. He did not complain. These years, it was for the family's hard work. Mr. Zhuang never suspected that he was lying.

   Taifu Zhuang waved his hand: "Go down, Gu Laohou is very alert. If you follow him once today, I am afraid that he has already discovered him. You don't want to go next time. I will change someone."

"Yes."

  Anjun Wang bowed and walked out of the flower hall.

   "Brother!"

  When passing by the Chuhua Gate, Zhuang Yuexi suddenly walked out from behind the big tree.

  Jun Wang looked at her, then looked back at the Flower Hall, and asked, "Why are you here?"

  Zhuang Yuexi's beautiful eyes are full of him: "I'll wait for my brother."

   "I'm tired, I'm going back to the yard first." Junwang An said exhausted physically and mentally. After that, he passed Zhuang Yuexi.

  Zhuang Yuexi's gaze chased him, and stepped forward: "Why didn't brother tell the truth?"

  Anjun Wang took a step, then looked back at her warily.

  Zhuang Yuexi was aggrieved and puzzled: "My brother clearly saw Laohouye and..."

   "Shut up!" Jun Wang screamed more than Zhuang Yuexi.

  Zhuang Yuexi was taken aback.

  An Junwang is a beautiful boy who is gentle and jade, he has an innate gentleness and education in his bones.

  He rarely speaks so harshly.

   "Are you following me?" His brows were cold.

  This kind of King An Jun is undoubtedly unfamiliar, but in fact, this is the real him, he who survived the countless conspiracies and tricks of Chen Guo.

   "I don't have one." Zhuang Yuexi was frightened by the King An, and hurriedly shook her head, "I have no class in female school today. Mengdie asked me to go to Xiang, if you don't believe me, ask her."

   "She saw it too?"

   "She didn't."

  Zhuang Mengdie's straw bag, only worshiping Buddha and eating vegetarian dishes.

   "If you want to tell grandfather, just go." Jun Wang finished tiredly, and left without looking back.

  Zhuang Yuexi's heart is aching.

  She wouldn't tell her grandfather.

  How could she be willing to let her grandfather punish her brother?

  She just didn't understand why her brother wanted to hide it? Are you afraid of causing trouble to that woman?

  It's her, it's her who made the brother change.

  My elder brother started to lie to his grandfather, began to swear at her, and began to become unlike his former elder brother.

  It was the woman who killed it!

  Zhuang Yuexi's fingers tightened little by little.鈥斺�

  Lao Houye was finally punished by the emperor.

  The emperor's punishment was quite heavy. Although Lord Hou was hitting himself unintentionally, he almost hit the little genius doctor deliberately.

  Because the emperor felt the pain of this whip, he could vividly imagine what it would be like if he hit the little genius doctor.

  Xuan Pinghou was also punished.

  Lao Hou Ye and Xuan Ping Hou were both military commanders, whipping them was the same as tickling them, so the emperor punished them to copy military records.

  Punishing a military commander to copy books is the same as penalizing a Wenchen to hit a board, both of which are painful.

  Lao Houye knelt in the side hall of the Jinluan Temple, looking at a table of military books and writing brushes, his head was big!

  Xuan Pinghou threw the writing brush on the table indifferently.

  Copy the dog eggs!

  Go to my son!
