"Qi is really a slander. I've said nothing. You're still whitewashing Xing like this. Can't I count on my words?" Zhu Youlang said to himself.

"If you don't forget the former master, your heart is commendable. However, the etiquette should not be abolished, and you should not do this in front of others in the future." Zhu Youlang knocked.

All these words come out, don’t forget the former master? Which former master is referring to? Is it Gao Jie or the Qing court?

Qi was so scared that he shivered: "Oh my mother, don't cause trouble for the master. This emperor is really hard to mess with, and he doesn't want anyone to object to a single word."

"I dare not, no, no, I obey the order!" Qi quickly put down his reserve, knelt on the ground, and said incoherently.

"Tsk! I'm scared to pee? I really can't get on the table." Xing and Qi had a good relationship, but they also couldn't stand her timid and fearful personality.

"Everyone is flat, I have no other intentions. Marshal Li is fighting bloody outside. I just don't want his family to be faceless." Zhu Youlang raised his hand and ordered the two to get up.

"Your Majesty, I have a military and national affairs that I want to make secret statements, but I don't know whether to talk about it or not."

Qi stood up and stood aside, but Xing did not get up immediately, but still knelt on the ground and said something shocking.

"What? Military and National Affairs? Is it a secret matter? What military and national affairs can you report?" Zhu Youlang was startled first, and then thought: "What does this woman want to do? She went to the palace to talk to the empress dowager, but she was not worthy of her identity. She even brought Li Chengdong's wife. And she had to wait until I came to pay my respects. She must have planned it. What did she want to do?"

"Since there are military and national affairs, let's talk about it." Zhu Youlang said coldly.

When Xing heard the emperor's tone was cold and not at all hot, his heart skipped a beat: "Do I underestimate the emperor too much? He doesn't seem to be interested, or he is disgusted with my way of reporting? No matter how much, can you find a good background for Jue'er? This is a blow."

"Emperor, I have to report the important military and national affairs in secret. If the emperor does not believe it, wait for the noble concubine to say it. If there are any false statements, please ask the emperor to punish him." Xing said firmly.

Seeing that her tone was firm, Zhu Youlang seemed to be a false act. When he thought about her identity, he might have a secret matter. It is indeed not appropriate to report here. Both the Empress Dowager and the Queen are ignored. Qi and the eunuchs and palace women are too talkative. It is understandable that Xing is careful.

Thinking of this, he said to Chunlan: "So, Chunlan, you will bring Xing to the side hall for the time being."

...

"Someone is going to rebel?"

Zhu Youlang was shocked by the news brought by Xing.

The Imperial Guard is responsible for the defense of the four gates of Guangzhou City and the palace, or someone has a strange intention, so the disaster is quite a big deal.

"Yes, there is a hundred households in the imperial guards named Yue Bao. Now Wang Sheng of Qianhu is working under the Qianhu. Both of them were the men of the husbands. Yue Bao was also the personal soldiers of the husbands. After the concubine came to Guangzhou, Yue Bao came to the mansion several times. He mentioned several times that the training of the imperial guards is very hard, boring, with too many rules and regulations, not free at all, and not comfortable in the past. Once, he tried the concubine and said that the wife can be literary and martial, and had a high prestige among the men of the husbands. If he could contact his old subordinates and raise his arms, he would be able to pull up a team, and then echo Marshal Li's internal and external affairs. It must be... Then what is the reason for making achievements is not better than suffering under a person's roof?" Xing lowered his head and carefully described Yue Bao's words.

"How did you answer?"

"The concubine is very familiar with Yue Bao. She is brave in war and loves gambling as her life, but she is not very smart. Many people in the army have cheated him in a matter of doing things. It is conceivable that people like him cannot stand the rules of our army, but if he has the brain to plan rebellion, the concubine will never believe it. He designated it as the head of someone else's gun. So the concubine said, 'Now I only have one thing to worry about, that is, I can raise my Jue'er and never do anything about fighting and killing. I, a woman, will not participate in such a big thing."

After hearing Xing's words, Zhu Youlang couldn't help but look at her with admiration: "I'm really scheming! No wonder Gao Jie once said that I married Xing not because she is beautiful, but because she has strategy and vision."

"She could tell Li Yuanyin about this and let Li Yuanyin deal with it, but she didn't want to go into the palace just to hold her own thighs, which was in line with the principle of maximizing interests. It included narrating the dialogue with Yue Bao, without a single refusal, leaving room for Yue. If she agreed, she could use the room she left to find out the person behind the scenes, and also reveal her greatest wish without expressing her voice."

It's really not simple.

Zhu Youlang pondered. He did not take Yue Bao's affairs to heart, but the woman in front of him aroused his great interest.

"Raise your head." Zhu Youlang said.

When Xing heard this, he immediately raised his head, looked at Zhu Youlang, and then quickly lowered his head.

Melon-shaped face, willow-leaf eyebrows, apricot kernel eyes, red lips and white teeth, and chin cheeks. Her skin is as white as a girl. She is good at length and good maintenance.

"How old?"

“Twenty-eight.”

"What is the real name?"

"Xing Xiaozao, nickname is Hongzao."

The two of them were puzzled by the conversation: "The emperor has fallen in love with this woman? If not, how could he ask the woman's age and name? This is Xing's, who asked you to say your nickname?"

Chunlan expressed suspicion, while Xing basically believed that the emperor had fallen in love with him, he was good-looking and a widow, so it was normal for the emperor to fall in love with him.

In fact, they didn't know that Zhu Youlang just wanted to satisfy his curiosity.

"Then, you..." Zhu Youlang couldn't control his urge to be curious and asked his most curious questions. Halfway through his words, he really couldn't ask. I can't say, what happened to you and Li Zicheng back then?

"Your Majesty, are you trying to ask about the incident with the riots?"

"Well, yes, I have questions in my heart. If I don't answer, just pretend that I didn't ask." Zhu Youlang's face turned red when asked by Xing.

After all, it involves someone’s privacy, so it’s really inappropriate to ask.

"I was only sixteen years old at the time, and I just learned about that... He often didn't reply to that... and the husband was handsome, so... "Xing replied vaguely.

But the meaning is already very clear, that is, Li Zicheng is not lustful and he is newly married at the age of thirsty. In addition, Gao Jie is pretty, so he followed him.

That is to say, it is purely a physical need.

Even though he was once a "female thief" and had been in the team of men all day long, he was more open than the jaspers in the small family, but when it comes to this kind of thing, his face turned red like a big red cloth.

Well, I finally understand.
