Grandma personally went to report to the chief assistant, saying that Chu Mingyang had been dealt with.
The first assistant was silent for a long time, then he raised his head and said, "I ordered someone to go to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to report that the person is gone."
"yes!"
Grandma stepped back.
The first assistant slowly sat on the recliner. Before this plan was implemented, he had already thought that she would have problems here. Today, it was actually expected.
The servants led Mr. Xiaoyao in. He raised his eyes and took a look, then closed them again and sighed softly.
Xiaoyao Gong sent his servants away, closed the door, sat beside him, and handed him a bottle of wine, "The plan was successful. The ghost guards detected suspicious Xianbei people coming to the capital. Judging from their appearance,
, it’s Hong Lie. Nowadays, people entering and exiting Beijing are strictly controlled. Lin Xiao’s line has been completely cut off by the prince. It doesn’t matter if you wake up, the news can’t be leaked.”
The first assistant opened his eyes, took the drink, and looked at him without drinking, "Sister Shiba, are you living a happy life?"
He was called a nickname for no reason, and Xiaoyao Gong didn't care. He sat on the ground, crossed his legs, and turned his head to meditate, "I have been happy since I resigned from the position of chief minister. I have not paid much attention to the affairs of the court in these years. Every day
Planting flowers, raising animals, and not being with others, how can you not be happy?"
"I should have taken it off early, but now I feel it's not the right time."
Chu Shoufu took a sip of wine, and the spicy wine slid down his throat, "Ever since I was a child, I have been living in the shadows every day. Back then, the Chu family wanted to sacrifice my life for their so-called ambitions. It was Zhaixinglou who saved me.
But at that time, how difficult was it for a group of us to settle down and make a living?
From struggling to survive to going to the battlefield to seek merit, every step was startling, and I almost lost my life several times. I couldn't tolerate any joy or relaxation. It was not easy for the dust to settle. You and I have toiled in this court for another half of our lives.
Now that I am old, I am sitting here thinking about it..." He raised his heavy eyes and looked at Xiaoyao Gong, "Sister Shiba, I have never lived a day for myself in my life."
Xiaoyao Gong knew that he was working hard and patted the back of his hand gently, "Old man, thanks to you, the Northern Tang Dynasty has been stable for these years. The royal family will never forget you, and neither will the people of the world."
"My whole life has been mixed with praise and praise!"
The chief minister summed up his life, "I acted ruthlessly and lacked control over the people in the clan. Sometimes the people dared not speak out against the Chu family. Sometimes I was really afraid. I left the Chu family again."
path of."
"You will never be Chu Huan."
Xiaoyao Gong immediately retorted, "Don't be ridiculous. There is an essential difference between the two. Chu Huan wanted to seize this country, and you risked your life to protect this country. How can you argue with him?"
Now there are no more arrogant and arrogant people in your Chu family, which shows that you have taken care of things well."
"But in my Chu family, there is no one who is promising!"
Chu Shoufu was heartbroken because of this.
Xiaoyao Gongdao: "So what?
The Chu family has been in your place for decades, and it’s time to rest. Do you still remember the family motto of Duke Su Chang?
Since his death, three generations of the Su family have not been allowed to be officials. If they enter politics again after three generations, they must start from scratch and cannot take advantage of their ancestors' merits. You see, the Su family is still living well and rich. Why don't you imitate Duke Su?
"
The chief assistant looked at him, "In other words, you also think it's time for me to step back?"
"Before this incident, you were already slowly retiring. Now that the Holy Emperor is in his prime and the Crown Prince has grown up, you should retire and enjoy your happiness. Be with Xiao Xi and marry her."
That was what Chu Shoufu dreamed of, but he shook his head slightly, "No, this is good."
"Why?"
Xiaoyao Gong was puzzled, "Is it because of your wife?
But you made the deal because you saved her family back then."
The first assistant shook his head. For a moment, he wanted to say something but didn't know where to start. After a while, he said softly: "This is the only way I have thought about her in my life. If I really marry her, I will not be far away from losing her.
Blessings are something you just have to touch, don't really hold them in your hands."
Xiaoyao Gong was really puzzled, "This is not like you. In the past few decades, whenever you want to do something, you have always taken the initiative. Why are you worrying about gains and losses now and acting like a girl?"
He also said these vague words and did not understand.
"People always have weaknesses!"
The first assistant said, slowly standing up, "Let's go into the palace. Brother Ji'er has been waiting in the palace for a long time. We should have a good drink."
Duke Xiaoyao also laughed, "Yes, it's time to go in and have a drink and talk about the past. By the way, is the prince still in your house?"
Is he feeling better?"
The chief assistant said: "He is still in the mansion. He said he is feeling better. Why don't we ask him to go into the palace with us?"
"That's fine!"
Free and fair.
The Chu Mansion went to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to report that the eldest prince's concubine had died suddenly.
Yu Wenhao was not around, so Asi informed Yuan Qingling about the matter. After hearing this, Yuan Qingling asked Asi to send someone back. The chief minister wanted to explain Chu Mingyang's matter so that it could be settled with the outside world.
.
After sending the people away, Ah Si sat with her and looked at each other, feeling a little unbelievable, "Chu Mingyang is really dead?"
"Yeah, the Chu family will never protect her."
Yuan Qingling didn't feel happy at all.
Man'er came in from outside. She also heard this and looked a little startled.
"Man'er, are you okay?"
Seeing that she was absent-minded, Ah Si asked.
Man'er sat down, shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I just don't think the second lady will come to this point."
"Sooner or later, she will die if she doesn't give in."
Ah Si felt that what relieved her hatred was not that Chu Mingyang was so evil, but that she was so selfish that gods and ghosts hated her. She was just selfish and bullied others arrogantly.
After all, Man'er had served her once and received a meal, so his heart couldn't be as happy as Ah Si, and he even felt a little sad for her.
Ah Si said: "You can't feel sorry for her. Although she was once your master, she treated you badly. She often beat and scolded you, and even kicked you out and almost starved to death. You can't remember good things or bad things. We're not like that.
Overflowing with good intentions.”
Man'er glanced at Ah Si, then at Yuan Qing Ling, and said softly: "I'm not sorry for her, I just think it's a bit sudden."
"Do you want to tell Mrs. Yao about this?"
Ah Si asked Yuan Qing Ling.
Yuan Qing Ling said: "There is no need to deliberately tell Mrs. Yao that she has nothing to do with her. Her life and death have nothing to do with Mrs. Yao."
"That too!"
Ah Si nodded, and then smiled and said: "I'd better go and say it, what a happy thing, Mrs. Yao will definitely be happy when she knows about it. Chu Mingyang also harmed Mrs. Yao that day, do you still remember the doll?
I helped Yu Wenjun, that devil, to harm Madam Yao, but thanks to Madam Yao’s wisdom, I didn’t get harmed by her.”
After Ah Si finished speaking, he went out happily.
For Ah Si, when a bad guy dies, it should be a matter of universal celebration.
Yuan Qing Ling smiled, but didn't stop her. She looked at Man'er and knew that she was a little sad in her heart, so she said: "Man'er, Ah Si is right. You don't have to feel sorry for her. She is so good to you.
It's no match for the evil she's done to you, so we have to have a standard in mind when doing things."
Man'er nodded. She knew that the Crown Princess said this because she was afraid that she would be soft-hearted when she returned to southern Xinjiang in the future.
