Mei Fei was startled, then pouted, and her eyes turned red with grievance. Mei Fei's move was a sharp weapon to conquer Guo Chong. Back then, Mei Fei used this "lovely" gesture to conquer Guo Chong. Over the years.
Later, as long as Concubine Mei made such a gesture, Guo Chong immediately softened his heart. But today, Guo Chong turned his face away and did not look at her.
Mei Fei was so angry that she really covered her face and started crying. Guo Xu wanted to comfort her, but seeing Guo Chong's attitude, he didn't dare to speak. He could only stand aside and rub his hands uneasily, with an expression on his face that changed.
Concubine Rong said softly: "Sister Mei Fei, the emperor is not scolding you. This important military matter and the appointment of imperial officials are not something that we in the harem can interfere with. You should not protect the emperor's training. The emperor is doing it for the sake of the country.
For the sake of Sheji, and for the sake of King Huai. The emperor was originally in a good mood, but if you cry like this, aren't you just ruining the scenery?"
These words sounded like advice, but in fact they were provoking trouble. Didn't Concubine Mei know it? She snorted, wiped her tears and said to Guo Chong: "Your Majesty, please calm down. It's my concubine's fault, it's your Majesty's fault."
Guo Chong then snorted coldly and looked at Lin Jue and said: "Lin Jue, I have made up my mind on this matter. As the saying goes, those who are capable work hard and those who are capable take on more responsibilities. The imperial court needs you to take on greater responsibilities, so you don't have to refuse.
.”
Concubine Rong smiled and said, "Master Lin, why don't you thank me?"
Lin Jue hurriedly saluted and thanked him. Guo Chong stroked his beard and said with a smile: "This is the right thing. Serve the imperial court well. I believe my vision is correct. Do you have anything else to do? If there is nothing else, you can resign.
, I know you are very busy. With the heavy snow falling, the relief and comfort work will be more difficult, and you still need to work hard and don't give up halfway."
Lin Jue said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will definitely handle the relief and comfort matters. I have one more thing to ask for your permission."
Guo Chong said: "What else can I do?"
"That's right, the emperor should know that the pills used to treat the emperor's illness were prepared by an expert. This expert does not want the pills to be lost, or to be copied at random, or the formula of the medicine to be leaked. Can the emperor give the remaining pills to the emperor?
Return the pills you ordered to me, so I can return them to him. If I calculated correctly, the emperor should have twelve pills left in his hand. This master has a bad temper, but he is very capable. I thought
, it’s better not to offend him for such a thing, maybe there will be a place to beg him in the future. Anyway, the emperor keeps the pills useless." Lin Jue bowed.
Guo Chong chuckled and said: "I heard what you said, this person has a bit of a temper. Masters always have a bit of a temper, I understand. I didn't pay attention to how many pills are left. Let me calculate, you gave it to me last time
Thirty-three pills. I take three pills a day. From the fourth day to the tenth day of the lunar month, that is...for seven days, I took 21 pills. Aren't there still 12 pills left? You are right, you don't want this kind of person.
If you offend them, you might ask them again in the future. Qian Delu, you keep the pills, just give them to Lin Jue and ask him to return them."
Qian Delu said hurriedly: "I obey the order. I will go and get it now."
Qian Delu quickly left the pavilion and went to the bedroom to get the medicine. Lin Jue frowned and thought: If this Qian Delu is the eyes and ears placed by Lu Zhongtian and others around the emperor, and the emperor gave the pills to him for safekeeping, then what if Qian Delu was secretly taken out?
One pill is as easy as the palm of your hand. You can't defend yourself against the sky, the earth, ghosts and gods, nor against the people around you. If Guo Chong doesn't realize this, he will inevitably
Being seen through someone's thoughts and being led around by the nose. Today, I want to make Guo Chong realize this.
Lin Jue looked at Guo Xu who was standing there. Guo Xu was rubbing his hands and looking extremely nervous. Lin Jue sneered in his heart. Guo Xu was obviously aware of his intentions, because one of the real pills was in Guo Xu's hand. He was determined to
He realized this. If one pill is missing in a while, the emperor will definitely ask clearly. What he wants is for Guo Chong to understand that the pills he takes can be taken away or dropped. I want to see
How does this matter develop?
Soon after, Qian Delu came over with a small iron box in his arms. The iron box was locked. Obviously, he was very careful about the storage of the pills. But Lin Jue thought in his heart: Even if it is placed in the safe, it will not be safe.
What? All this is in vain when you are guarding and stealing.
Qian Delu put the iron box on the case, took out the key and called it. He took out a small wooden box and handed it to Lin Jue: "Mr. Lin, the pills are all inside, just take it."
Lin Jue didn't take it, but said with a smile: "Please count the number of pills, father-in-law, to see if they are eleven."
Qian Delu smacked his lips and said, "Master Lin is really meticulous."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "It's not me who is fine, but others who are fine. If one is missing, the master will be angry. The emperor also said that we may ask him for help in the future, so it is better not to offend such a person."
Guo Chong nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, just count them."
Qian Delu had no choice but to open the wooden box and count them. After a while, Qian Delu suddenly scratched his head and said, "It's strange, why are there only eleven? I'll count again."
Lin Jue sneered in his heart. He was pretending to be quite similar. He knew clearly that one was missing, but he still had to pretend. By the time he counted to tomorrow, there would only be eleven.
"Strange, there are still eleven pills. What a strange thing. Your Majesty's calculation was right. Thirty-three pills were delivered when they were delivered. Three pills per day for seven days. A total of twenty-one pills were taken. There should be eleven pills left.
Yes. Why is one missing? It's strange." Qian Delu said confused.
Guo Chong frowned and said: "How could it be? Didn't you keep these pills? The iron box is locked, don't you only have the key? You are the only one who handles the medicine I take. I don't remember taking one more pill."
Qian Delu said: "Yes, I am very careful. I only take one pill when I take it, and then lock it. The key is only the one I have. Why is there one missing? Could it be that one was missing when I delivered it?
pieces?”
Lin Jue frowned and said: "My father-in-law, why did you blame me? You counted the number when I brought the medicine, but now you say that I gave you one less pill. What are you talking about? Why should I withhold a pill? My father-in-law himself
If you don’t think about why the pill disappeared, why are you blaming me?”
Qian Delu said hurriedly: "I didn't mean that, I meant...hey, what's going on? I'll count again."
Qian Delu held up the wooden box and wanted to count it again. Suddenly Guo Xu stepped forward quickly, snatched the wooden box away and said, "Let me take a look."
Lin Jue was about to stop him, but it was too late. He saw Guo Xu's long sleeves brushing against the wooden box. Although he didn't see any movement, Lin Jue knew that he must have done something.
"One pair...two pairs...three pairs..." Guo Xu started counting seriously, and then laughed and said: "Eunuch Qian, you are really good at counting.
Isn’t that enough? Isn’t this a total of six pairs of twelve pills? Hey, my father-in-law is so serious, why can’t he even count? Father-in-law Qian is old.”
Qian Delu took it suspiciously and counted it again. Wasn't it twelve? He felt confused. Could it be that his old eyes were really dim?
Guo Chong laughed and said: "Qian Delu, are you tired these days? Why can't you count six pairs? You can take a day off tomorrow. It's really hard to serve me every day. Don't get sick from exhaustion.
.”
Qian Delu looked confused. After thanking him, he wondered why he missed one. But since the number was correct, it was always a good thing, so he didn't think much about it. So he handed the wooden box to Lin Jue and said: "Master Lin, count one."
Count and return the original number."
Lin Jue didn't even look at it. He put the wooden box into his arms and said, "There's no need to count. The number that His Highness Prince Huai has counted is of course accurate. Your Majesty, the Queen, the two noble concubines, and the two princes."
.Wei Chen will not disturb you enjoying the snow, Wei Chen will leave."
Guo Chong smiled and said: "Go ahead, go ahead."
Lin Jue bowed and exited the pavilion, turned around and left quickly.
Lin Jue was a little angry. Japan had won a great victory today. It not only shattered the conspiracy of Lu Zhongtian and others, but also had the unexpected joy of getting the official position of the third envoy promised by the emperor. It was even possible to repeat the old trick, and the number of pills was missing.
The star came to arouse the emperor's questioning and suspicion about the matter. However, the perfect start was ruined by the last little oversight.
It has to be said that Guo Xu is still a bit quick-witted. In that situation, anyone else would have panicked. But he still made the most correct move. When Qian Delu counted the numbers, I am afraid that
He had already taken out the pill and resolved the crisis. This also reminded Lin Jue that these people are not idiots, but actually extremely smart people. If he wants to fight them, he still needs to
Be more thoughtful and considerate more carefully.
But no matter what, today's meeting is still very effective. The shocking conspiracy of Huajie Lu Zhongtian and others is of vital importance. If they succeed in their conspiracy, I will be unable to defend myself, and I don't know what their subsequent conspiracy will achieve. This matter
It was a fluke. If he hadn't taken the risk to assassinate Wu Chunlai last night, how could he have known such a vicious plan. This can really be said to be God's blessing. Lin Jue silently warned himself that he must keep an eye on the situation.
Listen to all directions. Although this vicious conspiracy has been resolved at this time, Lu Zhongtian and the others will definitely not give up, and there will definitely be another conspiracy. When thinking that he will face a long-term direct battle with Lu Zhongtian, Yang Jun and others, Lin
I feel quite troubled. It's not fear, it's just that this is not the life I want.
Today's gain lies in another aspect. Lin Jue clearly felt the change in Guo Chong's attitude towards him. After presenting the prescription, Lin Jue immediately felt this. Lin Jue knew that his judgment was correct. Guo Chong did indeed
I have already become wary and suspicious of myself. In fact, I should have offered this prescription long ago. It was so naive to think that I refused to offer it just because it was precious. When dealing with Guo Chong, if you don't do anything wrong,
If he arrives, he will be suspicious of him. This person may appear sunny, but he is actually very thoughtful and suspicious. What Guo Bing, the king of Liang, once told him was the truth, and he, the father-in-law of Taishan, has long seen clearly the true nature of Guo Chong.
