She raised her eyebrows slightly when she said this: "Master Zuo is cooperating with the First City at this time. If he says that he has no other thoughts, I am afraid no one will believe him."
Zuo Xingzhi said quietly: "Zuo just wants to protect himself."
Ning Guzhou's eyes were extremely dark: "The Zuo family once helped Qi Jianlan. Once Emperor Qi Xuan becomes more powerful, he will definitely take action against the Zuo family."
"Master Zuo Weiyu is planning to cooperate with the First City. Everyone knows what he is thinking."
"Qinzhou will not participate in Qi's internal affairs."
Su Letian also said: "The First City has no ambitions. It is just one city. Living in a corner is the way for the First City to survive."
"Now that smelting is here, Mr. Zuo has mines and people. He forges his own weapons without being controlled by others. Hegemony is just around the corner."
By this time, they all saw what Zuo Xingzhi wanted.
Since Zuo Xingzhi did not enter the palace to rescue Qi Jianlan, Zuo's ambition can be said to be obvious.
Zuo Xingzhi sighed softly after hearing their words: "You have misunderstood me."
"Although the Zuo family has some foundation, it is just a clan. Under the imperial power, everyone is an ant."
"I invite you here in this way today just because I want to turn our hostility into friendship."
Tang Miaoxin didn't believe a word of Zuo Xingzhi's words. Zuo Xingzhi would never be as harmless as he said.
At this time, he lowered his posture so low. What on earth did he want to do?
She asked Zuo Xingzhi: "Turn hostility into friendship? Have you ever offended us before?"
"If you are referring to the incident where you came to our place yesterday and made a big fuss, you don't have to."
"If I were a man, I would be anxious when I woke up and found out that I was in trouble, so I wouldn't be angry with you at all because of this."
Zuo Xingzhi: "..."
Among the three of them, he least wanted to talk to Tang Miaoxin, but she was the one who talked the most.
He coughed slightly, and Tang Miaoxin said again: "Do you want me to keep this matter a secret for you?"
"That's even simpler. As a doctor, when you treat a patient with me, I have the obligation to keep the patient's confidentiality confidential."
"Of course, if you are worried, you can give me some more money as hush money."
Zuo Xingzhi: "..."
He had a new understanding of her greed for money.
He turned to look at Ning Guzhou: "Prince Qin and Princess Qin seem to have completely different temperaments."
Ning Guzhou said quietly: "I think it's good for her to be like this."
Tang Miaoxin said with a smile: "I also think it's very good of you to do this."
Su Letian also smiled and said: "I also think that my sister and brother-in-law are a good match."
After he finished speaking, he said to Zuo Xingzhidao: "They are always like this, making Master Zuo laugh."
Zuo Xingzhi: "..."
He found that as long as Tang Miaoxin was there, everything would develop in an extremely strange direction.
Su Letian and Ning Guzhou seemed to be unconditionally doting on Tang Miaoxin. No matter what she said, they would feel that she was right.
This discovery surprised him again.
He said quietly: "The love between King Qin and Princess Qin is really enviable..."
At this moment, the steward hurriedly walked in: "Sir, the emperor is here."
Zuo Xingzhi's eyes darkened slightly, and he understood in his heart, and immediately said: "Go and invite the emperor to come in."
Zuo Xingzhi and Emperor Xuan of Qi fought several times in the past few days, and each had their own victory or defeat.
Emperor Xuan of Qi was an upright monarch. He had been dormant for many years and secretly cultivated many confidants.
After Qi Jianlan's death, the palace was basically controlled by him.
The Feiyun Cavalry collapsed and most of them were killed. Wu Linhui led one of them to fight out of Zicheng. Emperor Qi Xuan did not have the energy to encircle and suppress them for the time being.
In order to control Qi's court as quickly as possible, Emperor Xuan of Qi used all the chess pieces he had placed previously.
Although the power in Zuo's hands is not small, after all, he cannot directly confront the monarch's power.
After all, as long as they confront each other head-on, they will become rebellious officials and traitors.
Now they can only use Qi Xuan Emperor's unkindness as a raft, and join forces with all the officials in the court to resist Qi Xuan Emperor.
Everything in between is quite complicated, and both sides have their own concessions.
Emperor Xuan of Qi was trapped in the palace for many years by Qi Jianlan and Zuo Xingzhi. If there was anyone whom Emperor Xuan of Qi hated the most, it was Zuo Xingzhi.
The confrontation over the past few days made Zuo Xingzhi realize that Emperor Qi Xuan was no longer the young boy he was back then, and had now grown up.
When he caught Su Letian last night, he originally wanted to exchange Su Letian for smelting skills, but something happened again last night.
The Household Department, which was originally controlled by them, had a very powerful new chief executive, who obtained evidence that the Zuofu had embezzled the treasury, and took control of the Household Department.
Zuo Xingzhi and Zuo's father decided to change their strategy towards Su Letian after some discussion.
They decided that even if they couldn't make good friends with the First City, at least they wouldn't offend them too deeply.
That's why today's arrangements were made.
Inviting them into the house was just to show their sincerity.
Just as Zuo Xingzhi finished speaking, Emperor Xuan of Qi's voice rang out: "I came uninvited, Zuo Qing won't mind, right?"
In the blink of an eye, he lifted the curtain and walked in.
Tang Miaoxin saw Emperor Qi Xuan lightly raise his eyebrows, it was a coincidence that this guy came here at this time.
It is estimated that he has placed someone in Zuofu, and any actions here cannot be hidden from his eyes.
Zuo Xingzhi wanted to salute Emperor Xuan, but he hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "I came here incognito today to see an old friend, Zuo Qing, you don't have to be polite."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Tang Miaoxin with a smile and said, "I wanted to send my sister out of the palace in person that night, but I didn't expect that my sister left first."
"In the past few days since my sister left the palace, I have been thinking a lot about her."
He called himself "I" in front of Zuo Xingzhi, but he called himself "I" in front of Tangdang Miaoxin. One title conveyed the feeling of intimacy.
This was his usual method, but Tang Miaoxin didn't buy his fault.
She said directly: "Please, stop calling me sister! I don't have a brother like you!"
These people in Qi are extremely hypocritical from top to bottom.
She didn't want to have anything to do with them at all.
Emperor Qi Xuan said seriously: "Is my sister still angry with me? I actually just wanted to be on the safe side and had no intention of ignoring my sister."
"In my heart, you are the sister I respect most."
He and Tang Miaoxin fought many times, and each time they cheated each other, and he was basically at a disadvantage.
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at Ning Guzhou: "I guess this is my brother-in-law, right?"
Ning Guzhou gave Emperor Qi Xuan a cold look. He was a young emperor with a very handsome appearance and a cute smile.
But it was such a person who planned this palace coup and placed chess pieces in various ministries in the court. His thoughtfulness was no less than that of Qi Jianlan.
And although he looks gentle and cute, there is a certain coldness in his face. Such a person is the most terrifying.
Ning Guzhou turned his head and asked Su Letian expressionlessly: "Is he a side branch of the First City? Why didn't I see him last time I went to the First City?"
