Chapter 49 Hearts are secretly jealous

In a few days, good news came from all battalions. After secret selection, thousands of loyal and extraordinary soldiers were selected from the guard. Among them, the second screening will be conducted through the civil and military competition to ensure that the most elites are selected. Those who pass the second screening will receive a secret order to go to the Lingshan Palace. He rushed directly to Lingshan Palace, and at the same time, the autumn recruitment of each battalion was also carried out in a tense and orderly manner.

Zhuo Ruitong originally wanted to personally order troops to conduct a civil and martial arts test. Unexpectedly, he had been trapped in a series of troubles caused by the expropriation of merchants. Of course, these are all small troubles. For example, some merchants are dissatisfied with the joint complaint of the new policy, and some merchants plan to withdraw from the Weijun market, etc. Zhuo Ruitong has to touch them in person. Comforted, and promised to make some compensation in the coming year, reluctantly, it did not cause great chaos, and the merchants finally slowly accepted the new tax policy.

Zhuo Ruitong accompanied his smiling face for many days and was full of fire. Although he was worried, he thought that he could increase the military pay, and he felt it was worth it. This day finally stopped a little, so he went to Huanxuan to see how the preparations were going. Unexpectedly, he went to the Liu Goblet Palace, but only Xiaoci was there. When he asked, it turned out that Huanxuan had quietly left the palace. I went to find Lu Zisong in Aojun City.

In the process of gathering the generals and soldiers selected by each battalion to gather the Lingshan Palace, there are still many tedious details to be arranged. The speed of each battalion's comparison is different, and the roster submitted is also in order. Therefore, after verification, the secret orders will be sent one by one until the final selection is on the road, and there is also a difference between far and near, so One after another, if you can't act in a unified way, there must be a certain number of receptionists on the road, especially those big camps that are three or four days away from the Lingshan Palace. If the soldiers from there are not familiar with the road, and then take a fork in the road or miss the direction, it will delay everyone longer. In addition, Lu Zisong will be with Huanying. Let's go, and we have to send another person to the Lingshan Palace to settle down the people.

The so-called everything is simple as expected, and there will be a lot of trivialities when it is really implemented. After listening to Xiaoci's explanation, Zhuo Ruitong sighed that it was not easy to plan. In desperation, he remembered for so many days and had never given Ning Tanger an explanation, so he got up and went to the leisure pavilion. Before leaving, he told Xiaoci that she had been working very hard recently. She must Take good care of your wife.

Xiaoci nodded happily, but couldn't help comforting, "Lord, you should also be careful. It seems that you have lost a lot more weight than when Xiaoci and his wife just came back!"

Zhuo Ruitong looked at Xiaoci and said, "It's hard for you to think about me for so many years. Don't worry, when the time is right, I will definitely find someone who can entrust you for a lifetime."

Xiaoci was stunned, "Why did the Lord suddenly say this?"

Zhuo Ruitong smiled and said, "After staying in the palace for so many years, I'm not young. My palace is not as impersonal as the palace. Ha ha, of course, this also needs Huanying's consent, but I think you can be happy, and Huanying will be happy to agree."

Xiaoci didn't say anything more and silently sent Zhuo Ruitong out of the Goblet Palace. What does King of Wei mean? Do you want to get her out? She didn't dare to think that she would not hesitate to marry for the rest of her life. As long as she could stay with Wei Wang, would God not want to fulfill such a wish?

Ning Tanger's face even changed with fear, "What, thistle, is Dr. Thistle elaborate? Concubine, why don't you know?"

"Don't say you don't know that all of my palace have been deceived by him?" Zhuo Ruitong said lightly, "Tang'er, I was going to tell you earlier, but this guy Ji Yuguang refused to admit that he had poisoned Mrs. Ying, so it took a long time to find out the truth from his mouth. It's hard for you to be wronged!"

"Me?" Ning Tanger was a little at a loss. "King Wei is too polite. As long as the truth can be found out, the concubine will be wronged, and it doesn't matter. But the concubine really doesn't understand how Dr. Thistle can do it carefully. Why did he poison Mrs. Ying?"

"Well, he claims to work for the Central Plains court, but I suspect that there is someone behind him secretly, because it is absolutely impossible for the court to treat me like this, isn't it? Ji Yuguang's mouth is so hard that his real purpose of poisoning Mrs. Ying must not be credible, but I don't care. If he doesn't reveal the truth for a day, I won't let him be free for a day and let him live in the dark prison for a lifetime. Let's see what other conspiracies he can do!"

"That's right!" Ning Tanger reluctantly echoed, "Didn't Ji Yuguang explain anything else?"

"What does Aiji mean?" Zhuo Ruitong knew what Ning Tanger was most eager to know, but she deliberately didn't mention it.

"For example... I think that since he is meticulous, there must be people who communicate with him whether there is any interconnection or not. What does Wei Wang think?"

"Of course, there must be. No one helps Ji Yuguang, a palace doctor. How can he get close to Mrs. Ying's food smoothly and how can he poison it? It's just that since he is stubborn, I'm not afraid to investigate slowly. There will always be a day when he will be investigated!"

Ning Tanger listened and only felt that her chest was tight, and she couldn't help rubbing her heart with her hand.

"What's wrong with you, Aiji? Are you feeling uncomfortable again? It doesn't matter. Although Ji Yuguang is in prison, I don't lack a medical officer like him. When I send someone to the city to invite doctors, I will invite all the doctors in the city. If you don't believe it, I can't see Aiji's illness!" Zhuo Ruitong said that he was about to get up.

"Don't, don't bother King Wei!" Ning Tanger stretched out her hand to stop her and said, "My concubine is fine. I'm a little afraid when I just think about it. My concubine usually has a headache and brain fever. It's all the diseases that Dr. This has diagnosed my concubine, and the medicine is all caught by him. I still miss him, but I really didn't expect him to be such a person, as well as the king of Wei and the empress dowager. You are ordinary. It's also to call Dr. Thistle for medical treatment. You said that if he poisoned the medicine, how unimaginable it would be!"

"So you know the face and don't know the heart! I think the Empress Dowager has always been very kind to him. She has invested in helping him buy a house in the city and brought his family to settle him down. Who knows that he is a villain who hides evil intentions? Zhuo Ruitong's pain at this time was not pretended. He asked Ning Tanger, "Is it wrong for me to be kind to my subordinates?"

Ning Tanger was very embarrassed and just said, "Wei Wang, you're right. Your fault is to treat the people around you so well. It's easy to suffer big losses!"

Zhuo Ruitong smiled bitterly, "People's hearts are all fleshy. Although I know that I am too kind to people and easy to be deceived, I would rather be deceived than see people cheated between people. Is it interesting to live like that?"

Ning Tanger nodded and asked, "Is the prince going to keep Dr. Ji locked up like this? What if his accomplices take the opportunity to make trouble again and we don't investigate, what should we do?"

"It doesn't matter. In addition to the king and Nie Kong, there are also Mrs. Ying. Few people know that his family has sent someone to settle down, and there are people around the house to monitor them day and night, including his family members. He only claims that Dr. Ji went out to Yunyou to collect medicine. If his accomplices are bound to inquire. It will fall into the net that we have arranged for a long time. Even if that person does not appear in Ji's Mansion, the disappearance of Ji Yuguang will inevitably cause his vigilance. In a short period of time, I am afraid that he will not dare to make any changes. When I am free, I will slowly judge Ji Yuguang. Maybe he will be willing to hand over the truth again? After all, his family is still in my hands. Although I disdain to do such despicable things, as long as I give a slight threat to Ji Yuguang, do you guess he will be fooled? Zhuo Ruitong said with a meaningful ridicule on the corners of his mouth, "Usually speaking, the harmer will suspect that others will also harm him, right?"

Ning Tanger's body trembled again, but she praised calmly, "The king of Wei is really smart. With such a wise master as the prince, he must not succeed in such a small means!"

"Ha ha, it's rare for Ai Ji to praise me. Isn't it insincere?" Zhuo Ruitong looked at Ning Tanger with a smile.

"My concubine is from the bottom of my heart. King Wei, you make fun of my concubine again!" Ning Tanger covered up her panic with a delicate trench.

"Okay, I won't joke with you. To be serious, I'm afraid that you can't let go of the house arrest of the Buddha Hall, so I came to apologize to you, but in the case of Ji Yuguang, please love Ji..."

"Don't worry, my concubine will keep her mouth shut and won't reveal a word to anyone!" Ning Tang'er vowed.

"Thank you, Aiji, for your understanding. Alas, the world is unpredictable and people's hearts are unpredictable. I also have a lot of hardships. Aiji won't blame me too much, will she?"

"How dare my concubine!" Ning Tanger sighed deeply and said with a wry smile, "The king of Wei is willing to personally condescend to surrender to explain to my concubine. I am so frightened that I can't stop thinking about it. The prince is good to my concubine. In fact, all of them will be remembered in my heart, so if I am sorry to the prince, please open up. Don't hate my concubine!"

Ning Tanger said that her eyes were moist, not only because of anxiety, but also because of her unfortunate situation.

"Aiji is not sorry for me. Why don't I know?" Zhuo Ruitong half-jokingly gave Ning Tanger a reassurance pill, "Look at you, how you say it and lose your temper again, woman!"

"No, I really didn't lose my temper, but I had a lot of feelings and lost my temper. Don't laugh!" Ning Tanger quickly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a veil and squeezed out a smile on her face and said, "Would you like to take a rest in the leisure pavilion today?" If you want, I will call someone to prepare wine and vegetables. The prince hasn't listened to my concubine for a long time. Why don't you listen to the music while drinking and chatting?

"Okay, that's what I mean!" Zhuo Ruitong nodded with a smile and agreed. First, he estimated that Huanxuan would come back very late, and it was boring to stay in the bedroom alone. Second, he said that he was here to apologize to Ning Tanger. He always showed some sincerity. What's more, he could hold Ning Tanger's attention and asked her not to stare at the goblet palace all the time.

Unexpectedly, Huanying was also afraid of leaving the palace for too long to attract attention, so as soon as the sky was dark, she sneaked back to the palace. Hearing Xiaoci say that King Wei had come to find her, Huanying was worried that King Wei had other business to discuss with her, and there were enough difficult things that Zhuo Ruitong encountered these days. Huan Ying was also worried that Zhuo Ruitong would have a negative mentality. The idea was made by her. It was supposed that she should have shared it, but the recruitment was equally important, forcing her to watch Zhuo Ruitong deal with it alone.

At the beginning of the implementation of the new policy, there will be resistance, which is also expected. The key is that Zhuo Ruitong has to support it. Otherwise, the government will give up halfway before it is promoted, which will bring more unimaginable resistance to the future. Huanling hurriedly drank two sips of water and changed his clothes and wanted to go out to find Zhuo Ruitong to cheer him up. Who knows that Xiaoci He grabbed her and said, "The prince went to the leisure pavilion. I'm afraid it's inconvenient for his wife to look for the prince so recklessly!"

Huanying said, "The prince went to the leisure pavilion in the afternoon. Hasn't he left yet? I know the prince's character. He is most afraid of facing Ning Tanger. How can he stay in the leisure pavilion?

"Not necessarily!" Xiaoci said disapprovingly, "Madam, it's better to wait for the prince to come through the goblet palace again. In case the prince is still idle, won't the lady be able to advance or retreat?"

"Oh, Xiaoci, your master is the prince. We servants can't sit at home and eat tea. Why don't we wait for your master to come and go? Don't worry, I'll take a look outside the leisure pavilion. If the prince is still in the pavilion, I will do it even if I come back, huh?" He walked out of the goblet palace with a smile and went straight to the leisure pavilion.

Across the courtyard wall, I heard Ning Tanger's amazing pipa song. I was stunned and didn't dare to step into the hospital. I listened carefully for a while. There was faint laughter of Ning Tanger and Zhuo Ruitong. Zhuo Ruitong had not left the leisure pavilion. In an instant, an indescribable awkwardness surged to my heart.

Why do you want to be so unhappy? Huanying slowly turned around and left, and it was normal for Zhuo Ruitong to stay in the leisure pavilion. After all, Ning Tanger was his nominal concubine. Zhuo Ruitong and she had no real feelings. There was no need to care. However, the faint joke in the sound of the pipa seemed to be amplified, and it repeatedly sounded in his ear.

What's wrong with me? Huanxuan covered his ears and sat on the stone bench by the forest path. Am I jealous? How ridiculous. Is Ning Tanger worth being jealous? What's more, Zhuo Ruitong's jealousy, can he eat it by himself? However, no matter how Huanying persuaded himself, his heart was still blocked and annoyed.

She went back to the goblet palace with a stuffy head. When Xiaoci saw that Huanying came back so quickly, she guessed seven or eight points in her heart, so she complained, "Don't let your wife go to go. The prince is really still drinking in the pavilion, right? Madam, don't blame the prince. Although Ning Ji is annoying, the prince's face is not too ruthless. Forget it. Madam, take a break and eat quickly!"

"Who said I blamed your master?" Huan Yingqiang argued to himself, "I didn't say anything. You are the only one who is nagging. It's okay. I know. Next time your owner has an inconvenient situation, I won't be silly to get in it anymore. Is that okay? I'm tired and don't want to eat. Let me lie down first!" After saying that, without waiting for Xiaoci to open her mouth again, she got into the bedroom and fell on **.

"Does Madam also know about loss?" Xiaoci was ironic, "I went out excitedly and came back with a gray face. The Lord wants to see you like this, and I'm going to wake up with a smile!"

Near evening on the second day, Zhuo Ruitong still came to find Huanxuan, and Huanxuan was not there. Xiaoci let Zhuo Ruitong into the hall and made a cup of hot tea for Zhuo Ruitong. Zhuo Ruitong couldn't sit still and asked Xiaoci uneasily, "Why hasn't you come back yet? Haven't you finished arranging it yesterday?"

"Yesterday? The Lord also said that yesterday, my wife came back early yesterday and went to see the Lord. Where is the Lord? Xiaoci wanted to set up the two, so she held a bellyful of laughter and deliberately teased Zhuo Ruitong.

"Really?" Zhuo Ruitong's eyes widened, "Didn't I tell you to go to the leisure pavilion? Why didn't you tell your wife?"

"Of course I told you, didn't you see Madam?"

"No, Ning Tanger left me for dinner and drank a few glasses of wine. She played a few more songs and talked for a while, and then I left, but I haven't seen the shadow of Huanling!"

"Oh! It turned out that... It turned out that the Lord was drinking, listening to music, and chatting in the leisure pavilion. No wonder when the lady came back again, she fell asleep in bed without saying anything. She didn't even eat dinner, and slept until dawn!" Xiaoci glanced at Zhuo Ruitong.

"What? What do you mean?" Zhuo Ruitong was confused, "It's just eating and talking. It's not good, and I went back to the bedroom after dinner. Why..."

"Puff!" Xiaoci saw that Zhuo Ruitong's monk couldn't touch his head, and finally couldn't help laughing, "Lord, are you pretending to be stupid or really stupid? Although you and Ning Ji have nothing, my wife is unhappy when she hears you talking and laughing, which means that she has a position of the Lord unconsciously!"

"Really?" Zhuo Ruitong looked at Xiaoci in surprise and didn't close his mouth for a long time. "Xiaoci, you, you are not joking with me!"

"Lord, when did Xiaoci make a joke on the Lord? Besides, is this kind of thing a joke? Xiaoci means that my wife is leaving soon. I heard that the environment of Mingsha Valley is extremely bad. I'm afraid that my wife will suffer a lot of hardships this time. It's better for the Lord to spend more time when my wife is still here in these days and get along with her for a few days. So after the separation, don't both of them have a thought. When the Lord and his wife see you again, maybe Madam, you can make it clear. How about accepting the Lord? As the saying goes, a small farewell is better than a new marriage. Although the Lord and his wife are not newly married, they will definitely benefit emotionally if they meet again!"

"Little porcelain!" Zhuo Ruitong said shyly, "When did you little girl become so unobtrusive? It seems that you know more about me and my wife than ourselves. I look at you, which man dares to marry you!"

"Oh, Lord, don't change the topic," Xiaoci curled her lips and said, "Xiaoci is sincerely anxious for the Lord, and I also want my wife to have a happy destination again. If the Lord doesn't appreciate it, just forget it. When Xiaoci doesn't say anything!" After saying that, Xiaoci turned around and wanted to leave.

"Oh! You little girl, okay, okay, I appreciate it. Don't you go!" Zhuo Ruitong hurriedly called Xiaoci, "As you say, I'm listening. Anyway, I owe you more than this. I bowed deeply here. Thank you, little porcelain girl, okay?" Zhuo Ruitong said, really standing up and bowed to Xiaoci.

"Don't, Lord, don't give such a big gift. Small porcelain will break your life!" Xiaoci quickly avoided getting out of the way and said with a smile, "If he gets what he wants, he will agree to Xiaoci on a condition!"

"Say it!"

"If it is not Xiaoci himself, he will not be forced to marry Xiaoci. Is it okay? Even if Xiaoci wants to marry, Xiaoci has to choose his own marriage!" Xiaoci said and smiled.

"You little girl!" Zhuo Ruitong was stunned, "What else should I do!"
