Chapter 779 The Queen's House

Liu Shi almost fainted, and then he realized that after a long time, Princess Tong'an was talking about the emperor. Although the emperor is indeed his niece, he would not really think that the emperor is a junior. Besides, how romantic the emperor likes, how dare he care? Even if others tell him, he has to cover his ears and leave quickly, and he can hide as far as he can!

Liu Shi shouted: "I am an old aunt, an old ancestor! Don't joke. If my nephew knew that you were talking about the emperor, even if you interrupted my legs, I wouldn't dare to say that! I thought it was the child of our old Liu family, but who knew that you were talking about the old Wang family!"

Princess Tong'an is old, but she likes to look at people in a mess. When she saw Liu Shi being scared, she continued to say seriously: "The unintentional words are the truth, and I know the most about this. Back then, it was the former Sui Dynasty, at that time..."

Recalling the past, the old princess was very heroine. Princess Tong'an opened up and talked endlessly, telling how she "witnessed" against Emperor Yang of Sui. She has said these words for decades no less than a thousand times, and almost all have become her own legend. And every time she says it, she has more content. As long as she starts, she will not give up without two or three hours!

Liu Shi was covered in green and his scalp was numb, thinking, "How many years have you been here, you are still so energetic! Why did she come to me for today? It's just to tell the emperor likes nuns. What does it have to do with me? Even if it has something to do with my sister and brother-in-law, why don't you come to them to talk to them? But I told me that it really cost me my life!"

Finally, I found an opportunity. While Princess Tong'an was consuming too much spit and drinking water to replenish her spit, Liu Shi said: "Auntie, why don't you come to talk to you again during dinner? Now I have business work to do. Master Ma asked me to find Master Wang, and there is an important government inquiries. If my nephew doesn't do the matter quickly, it will be unhappy for Master Ma!"

Princess Tong'an stopped talking and asked, "You are going to find Prince Wang, who is Wang Ping'an, right? Little Miracle Doctor Ping'an?"

Liu Shi hurriedly said, "That's right, it's the little genius doctor of Ping An. But the Prime Minister Wang doesn't like the government affairs very much. Whether in the Secretariat or now in the Secretariat, he rarely goes to the yamen office. So when my nephew went to Dongtai to find him, he didn't see him. He originally planned to go to his Duke's mansion, but he didn't want his aunt to meet the summons, so he gave up his official duties and came to see you first!"

Princess Tong'an said very gossipedly: "According to what you say, Wang Ping'an is a lazy person, but he doesn't work with his salary?"

Liu Shi quickly shouted: "No, no, my nephew didn't say that. When Prince Wang first entered the Secretariat, he was one of his nephew's bosses. Now he is the prime minister. He is very kind and never commands his nephew, so he respects him the most, so he can't say bad things about him!"

Princess Tong'an followed the conversation and asked again: "Are you complaining about this? Are you saying Wang Ping'an good? Are you implying that Ma Zhou is not good? Then you have to be careful. Ma Zhou has a very bad temper and is your immediate boss. Be careful that he will repair you. In his eyes, you are not much older than a grasshopper! Well, Ma Zhou's wife also often comes to me. When she comes next time, I will tell her to tell her and ask her to go back and tell Ma Zhou, so that she will treat you well in the future, so that you will not say bad things about him everywhere!"

Liu Shi almost cried, and he shouted, "Our ancestor is my place, just say less. You want to kill my nephew. If this is heard by Master Ma, it will be easy for him to drive me out of Chang'an!"

Liu Shi knew in his heart that Ma Zhou was a real gentleman and would not repair him just because he was gossiping behind his back. Of course, if Changsun Wuji had to be replaced, he would repair him, but Ma Zhou would not. But no matter what, it would be very unhappy to be said behind his back. It would be difficult for Ma Zhou to do nothing. As long as Ma Zhou mentioned his name less, he would never want to make progress on the way to officialdom in his life. He would be a senior official and crushed people to death!

Princess Tong'an snorted twice and said, "Okay, I won't say that. By the way, I came to you today to tell you that your nun is in love with the nun. Okay, you go and see Master Wang!"

Liu Shi had to get up and say goodbye, and he secretly blamed Princess Tong'an in his heart. Even if you have nothing to do, why don't you look for my sister? One of you is the emperor's aunt and the other is the emperor's mother-in-law. It doesn't matter if you say the emperor's preferences, but I can't say it. At most, I'm a distant relative, and I can't be considered a real relative.

Just as Liu Shi was about to leave the house, Princess Tong'an suddenly added something as if she was imagining, saying, "Your nun likes nuns, it is the bridge built by Prince Wang!" After that, she closed her eyes and rested, pretending to go to bed.

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue. Princess Tong'an put the most important sentence at the end and said it. She suddenly slashed Liu Shi and almost fell down. When she wanted to ask again, she saw the old lady pretending to go to bed!

There was no choice but to leave the princess's mansion and go to find Wang Ping'an with a belly full of questions.

As soon as Liu Shi left, Princess Tong'an opened her eyes and said to the maids around her: "Wait. From tomorrow, Xiao Wang's wife will come to accompany me every day. I will no longer have to be lonely. There are people chatting with me every day!" The old lady said proudly.

Based on years of experience of gossiping, Princess Tong'an knew very well that if she asked the old Wang family first, it would be too direct. If something happened in the future and someone asked him to ask him, the old Wang family would say that he would listen to her. And if she hinted that Liu Shi asked Liu Shi to pass the message, if someone asked him to ask him, she could pretend to be confused and not admit that she had said these words, which were made up by Liu Shi herself.

This is the experience of spreading gossip. Before spreading, you should find a scapegoat first to avoid being angry and angry by gossipers and settle the score with her!

Liu Shi left the princess's mansion and thought to himself: "The emperor fell in love with a nun. It's no big deal. Even if the emperor fell in love with the eunuch, he would do nothing about me again! But if it were the bridge built by Wang Ping'an, then the matter would be big. Could it be that Wang Ping'an wanted to interfere in the inner palace? Or if Wang Ping'an had been granted by someone, he would not have taken advantage of Concubine Xiao Shu?"

The Concubine Xiao Shu was the former Xiao Liangdi. After Li Zhi ascended the throne, all the palace people were upgraded, and Xiao Liangdi became Concubine Xiao Shu. Concubine Xiao gave birth to a son some time ago, which was even more favored by the emperor. And I heard that Concubine Xiao was moving around and wanted to use the excuse that Queen Wang could not give birth to children, to depose Queen Wang and make her the queen herself.

Queen Wang is Liu Shi's niece. If she loses favor, it will be of great importance. This is the most important matter for the Wang family!

The more Liu Shi thought about it, the more scared he became. He was really afraid that Wang Ping'an would stand on the side of Concubine Xiao Shu. Palace fighting was the women's business, but if the court officials intervened, the matter would be a big deal. It is very likely that his niece would really be deposed, because her niece did have "negligence" and could not give birth. It would be a big mistake in the royal family!

When he arrived at the Duke's Mansion, Liu Shi was already sweating all over. After someone informed him, he entered the lobby and waited for a long time, but he did not see Wang Ping'an coming out to see the guests. He was so anxious that he urged the servant and asked Wang Ping'an what he was doing.

The servant thought he was here to send gifts to the runners, so he said that the prime minister went out of the city last night and was not sleeping well. If the minister couldn't wait, he could go back first. Just write the matter on paper and wait for the prime minister to wake up and show it to him.

Liu Shi was annoyed. Wang Ping'an's arrogance was too big. He was a minister after all and a former colleague of Dongtai. How could he just sleep and ignore him? He was patient and had to wait. He would reply to Ma Zhou today. It was impossible for him to leave only the note and leave directly.

After a while, there was a noisy outside the door. Wang Ping'an came back. Liu Shi Daqi said he was sleeping in the back, but why did he come back from outside? Did the servant fool him just now?

As soon as Wang Ping'an came in, he said, "It turns out it's Lord Liu. Are you in my house? Is there anything wrong?"

Liu Shi quickly bowed and said, "It's true that something is wrong. Your housekeeper said that Wang Xiang is resting in the back house. I wonder why Wang Xiang came back from the main entrance?"

After Wang Ping'an came back with the emperor, he did not go home directly, but accompanied Li Zhi into the palace to discuss how to take Wu Meiniang into the palace.

The servant at home did not know, so he said that Wang Ping'an was sleeping and asked Liu Shi to leave a note. This was a trick used by the official who sent a gift to him.

The servant thought that Liu Shi was here to give gifts, and it was a tactful statement. In this way, if someone investigated and accepted bribes in the future, Wang Ping'an would have a refusal, but he didn't expect that Liu Shi was here to do things.

Wang Ping'an yelled and said, "After waking up, I went out for a walk. Lord Liu has something to do, please tell me."

Liu Shi said what Ma Zhou wanted to ask, and Wang Ping'an said: "Who is the head coach? This will be decided by Lord Changsun and Master Ma. But as the attendant of the Dongtai, I have a suggestion for the deputy general. Why don't you send General Xue Rengui? You can just go back and say this to Master Ma."

Liu Shi said oh, thinking: "Xue Rengui wanted to let go, but he actually followed Wang Ping'an's path. I didn't expect it. However, what did Wang Ping'an go to last night? Could it be that he went to Ganye Temple?"

While making a farewell, he said to himself: "I don't know if the azure beans outside the city is blooming. I've been too busy these days and haven't gone out to see the flowers. In previous years, the azure beans in Ganye Temple were the most prosperous."

Wang Ping'an casually said, "Not yet, there is no red mountain blooming around Ganye Temple!"

Liu Shi shivered. It seemed that Wang Ping'an had indeed gone to Ganye Temple. Otherwise, how would he know? He hurriedly said, "Wang Xiang has been to Ganye Temple recently?"

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "I went with the emperor yesterday and Lord Changsun. Why? Lord Liu likes Yingshanhong? It's so elegant!"

Liu Shi didn't dare to say more, but said, "Yes, the officials like the red mountains the most. The flowers are about to bloom. By then, the red clouds in the fields are spreading on the ground, and it is the most gorgeous!" After that, he said goodbye and left the Duke's Mansion.

As soon as Liu Shi left, Wang Ping'an asked his servant: "Is there a mountain red in Ganye Temple? Isn't the mountain red in the azalea? It should have bloomed, why didn't I see it around Ganye Temple?"

The servants shook their heads one after another, not understanding why Liu Shi suddenly appeared.

Liu Shi left the Duke's Mansion and immediately entered the palace. He told Ma Zhou about the candidate Wang Ping'an's recommendation. Ma Zhou didn't say anything and did not assign Liu Shi to do other work. Liu Shi paid in advance and rushed to the Duke's Mansion of Wei, which is the home of his brother-in-law Wang Renyou. Wang Renyou is the father of Queen Wang, the wife of Wei, Liu Shi, and Liu Shi's biological sister.

When he arrived at Wang Renyou's mansion, Liu was very surprised and said, "Brother, why are you here today? Your brother-in-law hasn't come back yet and is still on duty in the yamen. Why are you coming back first? You should be even busier than him?"

Liu Shi told his sister what he heard from Princess Tong'an, and said that Wang Ping'an and Changsun Wuji accompanied the emperor and went to Ganye Temple, and they also said that they had also said that Wang Ping'an and Changsun Wuji had accompanied the emperor.

After hearing this, Liu was frightened and took Liu Shi's hand and said, "Brother, this matter is probably not good! I heard from the queen that the emperor has not been to her place for a long time. Although Xiao Fox has not been to her place many times, in comparison, there is only Xiao Fox left in the entire palace who can get close to the emperor. Could it be that Xiao Fox has an indecent idea and wants to replace the queen?"

Although he was the daughter he gave birth to, Liu could only be called the queen. When he saw his daughter, he would even kowtow and bow down to him. This is called the difference between the monarch and the subject.

Liu Shi also sweated on his forehead and said, "If it's a struggle between the palace people, that's fine. The emperor cannot just focus on Xiao Hulu, but also on the queen. After all, deposing the queen is of great importance. But if the ministers in the court intervene, it will be troublesome, especially the confidant ministers like Wang Ping'an, who cannot go against the queen. If Changsun Wuji is added, it will be a big deal!"

Liu said anxiously: "No, I heard from the queen that she won Wang Ping'an very well and even recognized him as her cousin. They are already relatives. Why did Wang Ping'an help Xiao Fox? Isn't that the relatives hurt? Are the enemies quick?

Liu Shi said angrily: "Can you trust this kind of relationship between relatives? You don't think about it. How could Wang Ping'an take this relationship seriously? The queen can recognize him as her cousin. If Xiao Fox wants to get to power, she may recognize him as her uncle. Can't you do this kind of thing as Xiao Fox?"

Liu was panicked and asked, "What should I do? Should I wait for your brother-in-law to come back? Let's discuss it?"

Liu Shi said, "Of course we have to discuss it, can we sit and wait for death!" After thinking about it, he said, "It's better to go to Princess Tong'an tomorrow, inquire, then go to the palace, explain this matter to the queen, see if there is any solution, and then let's do the countermeasures."

Liu could not agree, so he could only agree, and there was no other way.

At this time, not only was the Duke of Wei in the Mansion, but also the Duke of Liao in the Mansion was in chaos. Ouyang Li went to Ganye Temple and met Wu Meiniang. After returning, he told Wang Ping'an that a nun ran away in the temple. It was the one who opposed Wu Meiniang, and Li Jue already knew about the private meeting!

Wang Ping'an was shocked and his hair was standing up!
