Zhichun inquired about the news and said that the ladies in the harem are currently copying Buddhist scriptures and have no time to go anywhere.
Lihua felt that she had better prepare early. It would be too passive to rely solely on the information obtained by Zhichun. She had to take the initiative and first understand the general situation of the harem, especially the empresses.
Time is running out, the election will be over soon, and the show girls will have to face the storm coming from the harem.
Apart from Eunuch Zeng, there is actually a better person to inquire about, and that is Grandma Sun who taught her before, but unfortunately she has been recuperating.
After Lihua inquired about the news, she asked Aunt Tian to go and ask her, but she could only wait until the future to make plans.
So after Lihua finished class, she had lunch, went back to clean up, and got ready to go out.
Before leaving, Xiao Zuozi took the question and stood at the door of the small house and asked: "Little Master, what are you going to do at noon today?"
Lihua answered casually: "I have to go out, what's the matter?"
Xiao Zhuozi said: "Oh, then I also want to go out."
Lihua stopped packing her things and asked in surprise: "If I don't go out, won't you go out?"
Little Zuozi nodded: "Of course, the little master is here, what are you doing out here?"
Lihua felt very strange, but when she turned around and thought about it, it seemed that it was true. Ever since she asked Xiao Zuozi to be her assistant, this little eunuch has been extremely responsible and does everything well.
He would follow her wherever she went, always listen to her instructions, and even urge her to do the exercises.
No, now the little eunuch has followed her to the hut without any scruples, and is very satisfied with the exercises he got from her hut.
Lihua originally wanted him to supervise Xiu Nu, but thinking about it, this little eunuch is quite pitiful. Since becoming her assistant, he has no time to himself every day.
The little eunuch came early in the morning and spent the whole day in Qunfang Hall, eating, drinking and having sex. She left early at night. The little eunuch had to stay to do exercises and was responsible for chasing the show girls away at the appointed time.
If she doesn't go out, the little eunuch doesn't have time to go out either. He's really very responsible.
Lihua thought for a while and felt that she couldn't be so fussy, so she patted Xiao Zhengzi on the shoulder and told him to relax and not be too tired, and then went out.
She didn't think much about it, but she didn't know that the bastard Xiao Zuozi agreed and went to Cangchen Palace to report the news.
When Lihua was on her way back, she heard someone laughing in the distance.
Lihua looked up and saw the monster waiting on the road ahead, with a smile between his brows that was intoxicating in the spring breeze. He bowed from a distance: "Sir, we meet again. How are you?"
As soon as Lihua saw that evil smile, she knew that he was laughing at her for persuading Sun Xiuyun. It was too obvious.
She wanted to spit on him and scold you for laughing. What's so funny? What are you doing when you have nothing to do but ask around? Isn't it very free?
Then I thought about it, it was neither a new year nor a festival, so there was no need for sacrifices, so the imperial master was indeed very busy.
Then you can’t watch her laugh!
Ever since her last lie was discovered, Lihua felt uncomfortable every time she thought of this evildoer. She had never been so embarrassed before, and she blushed just thinking about it.
What could be more embarrassing than having someone catch you on the spot when you are lying?
So Lihua didn't want to see him. When she saw it was Yuchi Gong, with a bright smile on his face, she immediately thought she was blind, quickly blanked her eyes, drifted past him without focus, and then took another route.
Keep your head down and pretend not to see it.
It didn't matter if she was seen through, since she couldn't hide it from this evildoer anyway, so Lihua didn't intend to be too polite, she just hoped that this evildoer would have some self-awareness and not follow her.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. The monster seemed to be specifically against her. He ignored her with a cold face and couldn't force her to retreat, so she was followed anyway.
Lihua had no choice but to slow down her pace to avoid taking people back to Qunfang Hall and making people think there was some collusion between them.
Yuchi Gong was amused for a while. Seeing the little thief like this, he couldn't help but tease her, but what should he do?
He walked over leisurely and followed naturally: "Where are you coming from, sir?"
The little thief won't do any bad things again, right?
Lihua secretly cursed how shameless she was, and then pretended to have just discovered the person: "Hey, it's Mr. Yu, where are you going?"
Then stop, ignore his question, ask him back, wait for his answer, change from passive to active, and then act according to the opportunity to get rid of him.
There was nothing she could do. If she could ignore it, she really didn't want to.
But for the people in the palace, no matter how upset they are, they still have to look good.
Yuchi Gong knew what she wanted to do at a glance, and naturally he would not let Lihua succeed.
He said: "Since the last time we said goodbye, I have been obsessed with Mr., and now that we have met by chance, I will go for a walk with Mr." He directly blocked Lihua's road and made it clear that he wanted to follow Lihua.
Lihua wanted to roll her eyes at first, and then frowned: "Has she been haunted by dreams?"
Are all eunuchs nowadays so arrogant and openly flirtatious? Are they crazy?
And this monster, as if the world is his home, is here again. He can leave as soon as he wants. Who agrees to go with him?
Yu Chigong smiled and said: "We felt like old friends at first sight, but it's not wrong to say that we are still in love with you. After all, I heard about it, and I was really impressed by your talent."
The smile on his face was thick and teasing, as if he meant something.
Lihua mentioned it in one breath, "What talent?" This monster was clearly laughing at her talent for persuading people!
She endured it, but couldn't hold it back: "It's not as impressive as Mr. Yu's iron wall."
Yuchi Gong didn't care that Lihua said he was thick-skinned. The more annoyed Lihua was, the more interesting he became, and she took it as a compliment: "Thank you, sir."
In the past few days, Yu Chigong has been dealing with government affairs as before, and what he is most concerned about is the corruption in the Ministry of War. For this matter, Wu Dingbang almost slept in the Yamen under the stars and wore the moon, and went to report to him secretly every day.
The Ministry of War's account books were sorted out surprisingly smoothly. Wu Dingbang knew that he had encountered a master who made false accounts. Although the accounts looked messy, after careful calculation and echoing back and forth, every item was correct.
Occasionally he encountered a clue that didn't match. When Wu Dingbang thought he had found a clue, he spent a lot of time checking it, but found that his efforts were all in vain.
At that time, Yuchi Gong listened to the report and took one of the books to read it for himself. He couldn't help but sneered: "If you can use this kind of accounting skills to govern the country, why not worry about making the country strong and the people rich?"
People who make false accounts are very smart and deliberate, and chaos is just a cover-up. In fact, the accounts are very beautiful, and everything has a source. Occasionally, a random account is probably used to deal with the situation of being investigated and delay time.
Although the accounts have not yet been checked, Yuchi Gong can already predict that it will be difficult to make a breakthrough if the accounts are checked now. He wants to spend the minimum cost to find out, but he is afraid that he will not be able to do so.
He made a prompt decision and secretly sent people to investigate in the army. At the same time, he quietly dispersed the suspicious people in the court and assigned tasks to each of them. He also specially sent the left minister of the Ministry of War to the capital to divert their attention.
Sorry, sorry, because I was busy coding and wanted to publish the two chapters at the same time, which resulted in a delay of more than ten minutes. Dear friends, I'm sorry~
