MTL - To Hold One’s Joy-Chapter 486 National Division

  Chapter 486 National Teacher

  Miss Luo hates peacocks the most?

  Luo Sheng's heart moved slightly, but his face remained calm: "Come in."

  Afterwards, I took a shower and changed clothes, and after tidying up, I finally lay down on the soft bed.

   It happened that it was Hongdou's turn to be on duty at night, Luo Sheng called her in from the outside room and asked about the peacock lantern: "Did I hate peacocks before?"

   "Yes, when you were young, you went to the mansion of Princess Shoushan with Princess Changle. When you were teasing the peacock raised by Princess Shoushan, you were pecked by the peacock. Since then, you have hated peacocks."

  Luo Sheng heard the reason, and calmly asked: "Why didn't I hear you mention it before?"

Hongdou blinked: "The girl told the servant girl not to mention this matter at that time. Didn't you break the peacock's neck in a fit of anger? Because it was strange to see Ko'er bring back the peacock lamp today, servant girl I couldn't help but ask."

  Luo Sheng was silent.

  Hong Dou took the opportunity to hit Kouer: "Girl, you should bring your maid with you when you go out in the future. You used to do a lot of prestige things that were done by your maid, what Koer knows..."

  Listening to Hongdou's endless contempt for Kouer, Luo Sheng's thoughts drifted away.

  Princess Changle witnessed Miss Luo being pecked by a peacock when she was young, but Princess Changle used this peacock lantern to test her at the lantern festival tonight, saying that she likes peacocks the most.

  Princess Changle saw the difference between her and Miss Luo, and became suspicious.

  Luo Sheng leaned against the pillow, his eyes slightly closed.

   Now, does Princess Changle think that Miss Luo has changed, or has she lost her memory?

  Resurrecting the soul with a dead body is too unimaginable. Princess Changle must have lost her memory.

  Thinking of Princess Changle sealing Wei Wen in the portrait of the Shouxian Empress, Luo Sheng pursed his lips.

  If it was a normal person, it would be shocking and sympathetic to know that your friend lost his memory. As for Princess Changle, it is hard to say.

   However, the soldiers came to cover up the water and the earth. If Princess Changle just planned to alienate her and wished for it, if she was going to deal with her like Wei Wen, she would not sit still.

  The girl in the snow-white tunic slowly opened her eyes, and gently turned the gold-encrusted seven-treasure bracelet on her wrist.

   Calculating the time, if everything goes well, Zhu Wu should be back with his things within half a month. They brought back some Suzaku guards as well.

  With money and people, she will not be helpless in the face of the unscrupulous Princess Changle.

  On the 18th day of the first lunar month, a restaurant opened like the shops of all sizes on Qingxing Street. It's just that Zhao Shangshu's ministers who had been holding back for a whole year and didn't have a good meal were nowhere to be seen, and the only ones who came to drink were the nobles who didn't care about state affairs in twos and threes.

  Luo Sheng is not surprised by this.

  The news of the deaths of princes and sons in the capital has already spread. Although she can't keep track of the movements of the four directions in time with her identity, she thinks she will not be safe.

  There are kings who are ready to move, and Concubine Xiao Gui gave birth prematurely and gave birth to a little princess who may die at any time. If civil and military officials continue to eat, drink and play, they may become the emperor's unlucky bastard.

  As for those idle nobles, it is their duty to live and dream, so there is no need to worry too much.

  As Luo Sheng expected, several urgent reports were piled up on the dragon case, making Emperor Yong'an feel cold.

  After King Dingdong, two more kings rebelled, and the rest are restless and may join the rebel army at any time.

  Even after the assassination of the kings and sons, Emperor Yong'an had expected it. On the one hand, he sent an order to all the guards to closely monitor the movements of the kings, and on the other hand, he selected suitable generals to prepare for the further deterioration of the situation.

   What made Emperor Yong'an even more angry was that the Commander of the Hexi Capital colluded with King Pingxi and rebelled together.

   As a result, the west was in chaos.

  Emperor Yong'an stood up, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back.

  A small servant winked at Zhou Shan at the door.

  Zhou Shan went out and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

   "The national teacher has left the customs."

  Zhou Shanyou was startled: "When?"

   "A letter just arrived."

  Zhou Shan nodded, walked in and bowed: "Your Majesty, there is news from Taiqing Temple that the national teacher has left the customs."

  Emperor Yong'an paused, and his face shrouded in ice changed: "The national teacher is out of customs? Send it quickly!"

  Following Zhou Shan leading the decree away, Emperor Yong'an sat down slowly while supporting the dragon case, his mind was completely occupied by the news that the national teacher had left the customs.

  The National Teacher said at the beginning that he would be closed for three years, why did he suddenly leave the closed door at this time?

  Emperor Yong'an took a sip of the teacup, then put it down with a sullen face, and finally waited anxiously for the arrival of the national teacher.

  The man who walked in with Zhou Shan had silver hair, but looked only in his early twenties.

  With a young and handsome face and long snow-white hair, this man has a strange aura.

   This is Da Zhou's national teacher, Taiguang Zhenren.

   "Meet the emperor."

  Emperor Yong'an's tone was unprecedentedly gentle in front of his courtiers: "The national teacher does not need to be polite."

   Signaled Zhou Shan to move a chair and invite Taiguang Master to sit down. Emperor Yong'an asked, "Why did the national teacher leave the customs early?"

  Realist Taiguang looked serious: "The poor Taoist watched the sky at night and found a change, so he had to go out and report to the emperor..."

  Emperor Yong'an listened to Taiguang's narration, and his face became more and more ugly.

   No wonder there is chaos and evil things happen frequently, but there are demon stars in this chaotic world!

  Emperor Yong'an had a cold face, his eyes as dark as a dark night.

  As the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year fades away, Qingxing Street returns to normal. Luo Sheng didn't wait for Princess Changle to make a move, but instead waited for a small sedan chair from Yuhua Palace.

  What is different from usual is that this time it is not Aunt Dou who comes here, but Tao Hong, Concubine Xiao's confidant.

  Standing in front of Luo Sheng, Tao Hong explained politely: "Unfortunately, Madam Dou is feeling unwell, so the maidservant came here for her."

   "Then wait a moment, Xiugu is cooking beggar chicken."

  Tao Hong smiled: "Our mother is in confinement, and her taste is a bit picky. I want to explain to Xiu Gu in person."

  Luo Sheng nodded: "Kuer, take Tao Hong to meet Xiugu."

   "Sister Taohong, come with me." Kerr took Taohong to the backyard.

  Arrived at the door of the kitchen, Tao Hong stopped: "Don't bother my sister, I'll go in and have a few words with Xiu Gu before I come out."

  Xiuyue was preparing the ingredients, when she saw Taohong coming in, she held a kitchen knife and looked at her calmly.

  Tao Hong glanced at the sharp kitchen knife, her momentum froze, and her words got stuck.

  Xiuyue was still quietly holding the kitchen knife.

Tao Hong took a deep breath, and her tone was a little less forceful: "I was going to invite Xiu Gu to the palace, but it would be inconvenient to catch up with my mother and confinement. Our mother likes Xiu Gu's craftsmanship the most, and has always been thinking about Xiu Gu. How is Aunt Xiu recently?"

  Xiuyue looked at Taohong in a daze, and then seemed to think of something, and said in a voiceless voice: "Two days ago, I suddenly suffered from abdominal pain, could it be—"

  Excited, he raised the gleaming kitchen knife in his hand.

  Tao Hong was so shocked that she pushed back again and again, and reminded with a pale face: "Xiu Gu, don't get excited!"
