Qin Ruizhi left in stride, and the guards surrounding Mrs. Cui didn't even dare to stop her.

When Qin Ruizhi walked to Mrs. Cui, she felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy. Everyone was staring at her, but no one dared to take action.

Qin Ruizhi paused, looked at Mrs. Cui, and smiled sweetly, "Oh, by the way, Mrs. Cui, I am going to the Qin Mansion now to deliver the receipt for the return of your son to Qin Qingyue, so you can go to the palace to complain later. After that, if you want to send someone to arrest me, please go to the Qin Mansion instead of the Gao Mansion to save you some travel."

After saying that, she strode away, as if this was not the Rongguo Duke's mansion, but the back garden where she took a leisurely stroll.

Mrs. Cui gritted her silver teeth and twisted the veil, and could only watch her leave.

"Come here, prepare the car. I want to go into the palace to see Concubine Cui Shu."

According to past practice, Mrs. Cui must dress up, apply makeup, and draw flowers when entering the palace.

But this time, she didn't dress up at all. She hurriedly got into the carriage. After sitting firmly, she wiped the powder on her face with a handkerchief, tore off the corners of her skirt, and messed up the hairpin and bobs on her head.

After entering the palace, he staggered. When he saw Concubine Cui Shu, he knelt down in front of her and said, "Concubine Shu, please have mercy on me..."

Concubine Cui Shu was confused by this kneeling. She hurriedly raised her hands to help her sister up, but Mrs. Cui was kneeling on the ground and still refused to get up.

Concubine Cui was angry, "If you want me to pity you, you have to tell me why, right?"

Mrs. Cui knelt on the ground, with tears streaming down her cheeks, and embellished the story about Qin Ruizhi making noise in the Rongguo Duke's palace. She said that Qin Ruizhi was arrogant, that Qin Ruizhi was arrogant and domineering, that Qin Ruizhi had no regard for the king's laws, despised the imperial power, and all kinds of misdeeds. Countless.

Although Yang Mengzhang was only thrown with a sword and there was a red mark on his cheek, he was regarded as a half-dead man in her mouth. As for the guards, she had already said that they were wrapped in straw mats and sent to a mass grave.

"Okay, get up. Things have already happened. If you continue to kneel down, it won't help. Your own body will be hurt."

Concubine Cui Shu was wearing a bright red dress and a bun with hairpins stacked on it. She sat on the couch and brought a cup of tea. When Mrs. Cui got up and sat down beside her, she handed the tea cup to her. , "After saying so much, drink a cup of tea to moisten your throat."

Mrs. Cui felt her mouth was a little dry, so she took the tea cup, raised her head and drank it all. Then she held the tea cup and looked at Concubine Cui Shu without daring to move, feeling a little uneasy in her heart.

"How did Meng Zhang come up with the idea of ​​going to the Gao family to collect debts? The Gao family helped pay the Qin family's debt. It was a favor from the Gao family. There is no reason to come after the Gao family to pay it back. The Gao family will be in dire straits no matter how hard it is. , having been deprived of his title, he no longer has his natural glory, but Gao Chengying is still the Minister of Dali Temple, in charge of the law of punishment and prison. If you want to sue Qin Ruizhi, you must first accept the Gao family's sue against Meng Zhang."

Concubine Cui Shu really couldn't figure out why she wanted to provoke Qin Ruizhi.

With Qin Ruizhi's identity, others could forget about it. The Yang family didn't even have time to hide, so they just wanted to get closer.

"My dear, Meng Zhang was also confused for a moment. After drinking some wine and listening to the instigation of his drinking companion, he went without thinking clearly. He regretted it very much afterwards, but he did what he did, and he didn't force the Gao family to pay off the debt. Originally, the matter was over, it was Qin Ruizhi who maliciously attacked the Rongguo Duke's mansion under the guise of paying back the money, she just had evil intentions."

Mrs. Cui considered not telling the truth, but she picked Yang Mengzhang clean.Cui Shufei wiped her forehead, "Is it just a moment of confusion, or is it intentional? I heard that Qin Ruizhi looks very similar to Gao Zhiying, almost like the same mold."

Mrs. Cui's heart trembled and she hesitated, "There are some similarities."

Concubine Cui Shu asked again: "Have you seen Duke Rong Guo?"

Mrs. Cui was stunned, her lips trembling, "No... I haven't seen it yet."

"Since you haven't seen him, then don't let him see him. It will save Tusheng from thinking about it. And don't come to me to complain. You can find a way to deal with it yourself."

Mrs. Cui never expected that Cui Shufei would have such an attitude. She stood up abruptly. She was just about to accuse aggressively, but considering the majesty of the royal family, she did not dare to make a mistake. She said miserably:

"Sister, my good sister, that little beast is holding a light shuttle sword in her hand, which was given by His Majesty himself. I dare not touch her. Otherwise, I can't enter the palace and disturb your Majesty."

"You also know that it is a light shuttle sword, a gift from His Majesty. During the chaos in the palace, Su Yiling was a good general and loyal minister who protected His Majesty. Now Su Yiling is serving as the Prime Minister. Gu Bingyi allowed his concubine to have his first wife caesarean and take out her son. Your Majesty is partial to only She was fined a salary. Gao Zhiying risked her life and broke a pair of swords, but her Majesty's life was safe. His Majesty did not reward or knight him, so he only remade a pair of swords, allowing her to be with the sword and with the sword. .How do you want me to touch her?"

"But back then, we clearly touched her..."

Mrs. Cui wanted to mention what happened back then, but she was stopped by Cui Shufei. She suddenly stood up and knocked the tea cup out of her hand with a slap, causing the pieces of the porcelain cup to scatter on the floor.

"Shut up, don't mention what happened back then. If the old man hadn't been greedy for power and wouldn't let go of his military talisman, which offended His Majesty, we would have been the ones who died. Your Majesty has always been worried about what happened back then, so these Nian Cai has been compensating the Gao family and allowing them to advance step by step. Now the Gao family neither takes credit nor takes power. If you want to repeat the same old tricks, you are seeking your own death."

Concubine Cui Shu often lived in the deep palace and had long understood the emperor's character.

The purpose of dealing with Gao Zhiying back then was not only to find a good marriage for her sister, but more importantly, to deal a heavy setback to the precarious Gao family when the emperor wanted to collect military symbols but could not.

It can even be said that of course Gao Zhiying's frame-up had the emperor's tacit approval.

However, after many years, the emperor grew older and always liked to look back on the past, and he felt more guilty towards Gao Zhiying than before.

At this juncture, the revenge against Gao Zhiying's daughter is tantamount to giving the Gao family an excuse to commit misery and capture the emperor's guilt. When the time comes to re-examine the events of the year, it will be their sisters who are unlucky, and may even implicate the entire Cui family.

Ms. Cui knelt on the ground again, her whole body lying limply, "Are we just going to let that little beast bully Rong Guo Gong's house? My sister really can't swallow this breath. Her move is not only crushing Rong Guo Gong's house. The face of the government, even you, the empress, don’t take it seriously.”

"Sister, you are really a dead wood. You can't move openly, but I didn't say you can't move secretly. I heard that she was escorting Zheng Pin back to the capital. She met several waves of assassins on the way. There are many people in Prince Xiang's gang, so it is inevitable that there will be a few A fish that slipped through the net. They want to take revenge on Qin Ruizhi, what does it have to do with your Duke Rongguo's government?"

Cui Shufei spoke softly and had already made up her mind for Mrs. Cui.
