Chapter 8: Catch it all in one place (eight)

She slept until the sun was sunset, and she slept for two and a half hours. When she was holding the lights, Li Yao woke up quietly. She had not felt drunk for many years. She opened her hazy eyes after she woke up, and a face that went from blurred to clear and familiar to her eyes were imprinted into her eyes.

"Sister Yao, are you awake?" Magu said with a smile.

"Empress Yifei, why haven't you returned to the palace yet?" Li Yao found that her head was still drowsy.

"Why, my sister finally came to you here, sister, you just want to drive your sister away so quickly!" Magu chuckled, with a bit of a scent of her sister acting coquettishly to her sister.

Li Yao supported herself to sit up, and Ma Gu hurriedly reached out to put on a hand, then helped Li Yao and sat up.

"Thank you, Empress." Li Yao said in a somewhat stiff tone.

"Why are sister so disagreeable with her?" Magu smiled and said with a stiff face.

"If my sister comes to see her, she will naturally welcome her, but today she seems to have a different purpose?" Li Yao was still a little drowsy at this moment, but her mind had already recovered. Recalling the scenes that happened today, Li Yao had already understood that her good sister had set a trap and introduced herself step by step.

Magu has experienced Li Yao's intelligence. Although she doesn't show it much and rarely shows it in front of others, she knows that Li Yao has wisdom that does not belong to her, especially in military affairs.

"Sister Yao, what happened today is that my sister is wrong." Magu apologized.

When Li Yao saw Magu apologizing to her, she didn't blame her much in her heart. Her face suddenly improved a lot.

The two sisters just sat there, their eyes intersecting from time to time. They all saw from each other's eyes that they all had their own thoughts.

"Sister, don't blame my sister. My sister's sudden resignation really surprised me, so I made such a bad decision after I had no choice but to do so." Magu cleared his throat and said.

Li Yao sighed and said, "My sister has recognized her kindness, but she has lost her intentions. She doesn't want to continue doing this official."

"My sister has something that shouldn't be said, I hope my sister will forgive me." Magu said.

Li Yao knew that Magu would not give up so much, and said, "What do you mean by my sister? You might as well say it."

"My sister is now in her prime. As far as my sister knows, the emperor values ​​her sister extremely. You must know how difficult it is for us women to enter the court. The emperor even offended many senior officials for her sake. She resisted the public opinion and thus achieved her current status. When her sister goes, she will naturally follow the hearts of those ministers, and she undoubtedly slandered the emperor's heart." Magu said.

"This..." Li Yao is a smart woman. How could she not understand the meaning of Li Yao's words? The relationship here is quite complicated. Li Yao is a touchstone. After success, the woman successfully opened a gap when she entered the court. If Li Yao had not made great contributions to the court and the emperor's intentional protection, how could Li Yao, a woman, resist the male officials in the court?

"It's all my fault that my sister wanted to join the palace and stay with her day and night. Now I finally understand the emperor's efforts. I will never mention the matter of my sister entering the palace again." Magu said while observing Li Yao's expression.

Magu's move to retreat and advance really worked. A faint gloom flashed in Li Yao's eyes, but he quickly returned to calm and said: "Thank you for your understanding, but my sister is just about resigning from office..."

"Sister must know what kind of personality the emperor is. If you insist on resigning from office, the emperor will not force you. But think about it, the impact of my sister's resignation and our tribe members will be our own tribe. It would be hard to hear the support of my sister alone in the palace!" Magu persuaded patiently.

Li Yao seemed to be moved by Ma Gu, but she was hesitant and said in her heart: "What my sister said is reasonable, but as a woman, how much can she help her sister?"

Magu said: "Does sister know what status is for a concubine like her sister in the harem?"

Li Yao shook her head and looked at the joke. This kind of topic is very secretive and can't be said casually.

"Actually, on the surface, I am the most favored in the harem, and this is also highly criticized in the court. In fact, this is not the case. The emperor is different from the previous emperors. Although he is sometimes slightly biased, he is at least similar to each of us, so the harem is so harmonious. We are not the kind of wooden beauty who only knows how to eat and drink all day long, and then dresses up beautifully and waits for the emperor's visit." Magu said with a hint of happy smile.

"What is that?" Li Yao said curiously. In her eyes, she saw this.

"Does sister know that there is an inner-domestic organization in the harem?" Magu Zhanyan said with a smile.

"Know." The inner palace has been around since the Ming Dynasty, but its name has changed a little. It is engaged in an institution that operates the royal industry. The founder is Zhu Yuanzhang's original wife Empress Ma. Later, it was gradually controlled by eunuchs. After Zhu Yinglong ascended the throne, all operations in the inner palace were assigned to the Ministry of Revenue. He, the emperor, had nothing left except the imperial village. He established a new inner palace in the industry he originally operated in Kaifeng. This is an economic group led by the empress of the palace. Putting aside traditional operations, specializing in the research and development of new technologies and new things, is equivalent to the current one.

A group company integrating production, research, and sales is also a group company. Now the expense allocated by the Ministry of Revenue to the emperor is now invested in the inner government every year. The annual profit is more than several times the money allocated by the Ministry of Revenue. Therefore, the inner government will also provide a little support to the Ministry of Revenue every year, which is definitely more than the Ministry of Revenue to the Ministry of Revenue. It is said that successful men must have a woman, and Zhu Yinglong is indeed a group of women. With such a strong financial support, he has done many things that seem to be impossible. Although Li Yao is already a senior official of the court, he has not yet learned such a secret power.

"Does sister know about the 'Star Fund'?" Magu asked with a smile.

"I know, this fund specifically provides some research funds for some weird people, and then buys their research results from these weird people." Li Yao only heard of the "Sky Fire Fund" a little, but she didn't know the actual situation.

"In fact, the 'Spark Fund' is one of the industries of the inner government, as well as the construction of money houses and Sihai Cement..." Magu said more than a dozen names in a row.

Li Yao is not a secluded person in the mountains who are separated from real life. The names Magu mentioned are the most profitable industries at present. She never thought that these profitable industries were actually controlled by the inner government. As long as anyone owns one of them, he can have a wealth of wealth in an instant.

"Sister, why do you want to tell your sister such a big secret?" Li Yao's voice trembled. You have to know how troublesome it would be to know this secret. According to the rapid development speed of the inner palace, the Ming Dynasty will definitely be economically controlled. In this way, no one can shake the emperor's status.

"In fact, these industries belong to the emperor, and the inner government is just a manager. Of course, the inner government also belongs to the owner, because the inner government is actually composed of the concubines in the harem headed by the queen. Each of them has their own duties and performs their own duties. I also hold a position in it. As for what it is, my sister cannot say, and you will know when my sister joins in the future." Magu smiled. The reason why she told Li Yao this was to dispel some of her concerns. In fact, she also told Li Yao obscurely that the woman who entered the palace and became an emperor was not just a vase. She could find the career she liked and do what she liked. The happiness and happiness she got was not much compared to losing a little freedom! What's more, the emperor is a considerate and intimate man. As long as you care about him and understand him, you can go to his heart.

Therefore, while being a good man, Magu also gave Zhu Yinglong a special definition of a man in his heart.

"I'll join too?" Li Yao said in surprise.

"Of course, my sister has long understood the emperor's intentions. Isn't it a matter of time before my sister joins the inner palace like this?" Magu said.

"What do you think? Sister, don't talk nonsense!" Li Yao's expression tightened, as if someone had been talking about it.

"Why should sister deceive herself? If she didn't have love, why would she give the emperor the copybook she loved? If she didn't have love, why would she arrange for the emperor to sleep in her boudoir?" Magu asked with a smile.

"That's what my sister likes when the emperor sees it. It just so happened that the birthday of the Birthday is coming. My sister has no ability to collect rare treasures, so she gave it to me with that pair of words. As for arranging the emperor to rest in my sister's room, it was because the guest rooms in the mansion were too simple and there was no time to redesign and prepare. This is the best way to do it under power." Li Yao defended.

"My sister, I remember my sister once said that if my sister unfortunately died in front of me, her only wish was to let the painting "Manjianghong" written by me be buried underground. According to the words "My sister cherishes her life and will definitely not give them to others. Now my sister actually gave this character to the emperor. In this way, my sister's affection for the emperor is truly true, so why should I hide it with my sister?" said Ma Gu.

After hearing this, Li Yao couldn't help but shake her head and smile bitterly. Magu knew that the power of human hearts was too powerful. With such a powerful insight, Li Yao had almost nowhere to hide her mind, so she simply let go and said, "My sister is really amazing. My sister can't hide this in her heart at all. It's really strange. In fact, my sister really didn't treat the emperor before. In my sister's eyes, he was a good emperor with courage and ability. That's all, I can't say that she had any special feelings. But last night, he stood in front of the "Manjianghong" written by her sister..."

Perhaps Li Yao only thought that it was just a strong joy to meet a soulmate, but later she found that there was an inexplicable feeling mixed with that joy. This feeling seemed to be a palpitation, and it seemed to be a kind of likeness. Especially when Zhu Yinglong choked the mouthful of hot tea, she was nervous and felt a sense of heartache, so she didn't care about whether men and women were separated and rushed up, stretched out her hand that had never been touched by any man and stroked the emperor's back, slowly smoothing out the emperor who was choked by the tea. The intimate posture was like a pair of intimate lovers, regardless of each other.

This shock caused the silence that followed. In this way, a man's heroic posture quietly entered Li Yao's lonely heart.

Responsibility and reason made her unable to let go of the Li clan, and she also had similar ideas at the beginning. She didn't want to be imprisoned in the palace for the rest of her life, like a magpies locked in a cage, and she was tired of the intrigue and deceitful battle formations in the officialdom, not to mention a palace that was even more sinister than the officialdom. Of course, this deep-rooted idea could not be changed one day. Magu also had this idea at the beginning. It was only when she integrated into it that she slowly discovered that this gorgeous woman's grave was not what she imagined, just because her owner was a man with completely different ideas. This was like a leopard. If you didn't try to throw away the copper tube in your hand, you wouldn't be able to see the complete leopard.

That's true for Li Yao.

Although this feeling was not very strong, it caused a ripple in Li Yao's heart, who had been silent for a long time. Ten years ago, she might have bravely pursued her happiness. But now, she dared not and was afraid. Maybe she is still beautiful and charming now, but a few years later, the emperor is in his youth and she is already old and old. Which man would like to be with an old woman?

Li Yao's concerns and this little worry have continuously strengthened her determination to resign and return to her hometown, just to think that she had a magical dream in her life.

Xu Yingyuan was anxious when he saw Magu staying in the general's mansion and never returned to the palace. He was anxious, but he didn't dare to break in directly. Unless he had an order, he could not stay outside the palace overnight. If something happened, he, a small eunuch, could not afford it.

Seeing that the palace gate was about to come, he couldn't bear to ask Li Lian'er to beg Li Lian'er. He was so anxious that he kept turning around. Inside, Ma Gu asked Li Lian'er to send him a message, asking him to go back to the palace directly and stay in the general's mansion tonight.

Of course, Xu Yingyuan didn't dare to run in and ask why, so he had to return with Magu's message.

Lan Rong had woken up, and Zhu Yinglong explained patiently before she smiled. Li Qing had also come to take Lan Rong's pulse. Except for the temporary weakness and a little fetal aura, there was nothing serious about it. This made Li Qing roll his eyes.

Today is destined to be Zhu Yinglong's most unlucky day. Everything goes well, so he can only sleep alone in the Yangxin Palace at night.

The emperor's romantic affairs of staying at the General's Mansion overnight had no news, but the news of Empress Yi visiting Li Yao's General's Mansion twice a day, and the news that she was staying at the General's Mansion that night slowly spread in the officialdom in the capital.

Anything that happens in the officialdom will be troubling up and down. This has almost become a routine. Officials inquire about Magu's purpose of visiting the General's Mansion and stay overnight in the General's Mansion. If Li Yao was not a woman, rumors would have been flying all over the sky.

Of course, if you struggle with such things, you will gradually fade away when you see that there is no follow-up and satisfy people's curiosity.

Although the preliminary preparations for the current plan to lead the snake out of the hole have been completed, how to catch all the Wuwei Sect's people in one go has become a practical problem. Wuwei Sect carefully planned the rescue plan for more than a year and died in the womb. Although the court stopped and destroyed the Wuwei Sect's rescue plan, it did not hurt the Wuwei Sect. Lan Lin had too many secrets, and even Zhu Yinglong couldn't bear to die with these secrets. The Wuwei Sect's disciples would naturally be reluctant to let go. If Lan Lin had no value, Wuwei Sect would be reluctant to lurk for a year and carefully plan to rescue him.

There are obviously people in Wuwei Sect who are very intelligent and good at designing and planning. If the reason why the court was eager to kill Lan Lin seemed far-fetched because their rescue plan failed, and it was beheaded in public. Wouldn't this give people a chance to rob the law?

Since you want to kill, why not execute secretly? Wouldn't this be very safe?

This is a bait from the court. The emperor wanted to kill all our Wuwei Sect! Xu Rongrong was shocked and sweated. Fortunately, the first thing she thought of was not the robbery of the law, but the woman who touched the emperor, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!

Zhu Youjian, your bait is too childish. It’s almost the same to deceive a three-year-old child! Xu Rongrong kept sneering in her heart.

But Xu Rongrong faces a huge problem. If the women in Zhu Yinglong's harem do not step out of the imperial city within these ten days, what will happen to her? Without a goal, she will not have the chance to start. To save Lan Lin, she can only get into that childish and ridiculous trap.

But now she found that the initiative was completely captured by her opponent, unless she gave up, regardless of whether she already knew that it was bait, she still had to go!

This feeling of powerlessness made Xu Rongrong feel cold all over, and the coldness surged from the depths of her heart. Whether she wanted to rob the law field or move Lan Rong, she needed to mobilize all the hidden powers in the capital of Wuwei Cult. The power of Wuwei Cult is all the core power in the sect. Of course, this is what Xu Rongrong currently has and knows. As for what hidden powers Lan Lin has, she didn't know. Before Lan Lin was arrested, she didn't have time to tell Xu Rongrong all the secrets in her heart. It was precisely because of these secrets that Lan Lin did not intend to die. Instead, she threatened Zhu Yinglong with the secrets of Lan Rong's life experience, so she could live to this day intact.

Once this part of the power is destroyed by the court, the Wuwei Sect will fall apart in an instant and become the most ridiculous part of history.
