Chapter 214 Thank you, the Emperor, for taking pity on my daughter
Yan Xiu got down from the dragon chair, walked quickly, and came to Zhang Guzhi with a slightly moved expression, and bent over to support him.

"What is Aiqing talking about? I know that Aiqing misses her very much, and I only say these remarks because I care about chaos."

"Zhang Shunyuan is my concubine, how can I ignore her?"

"Words have been sent from the Shuijing Hall. Zhang Shunyuan wakes up much better than yesterday. The imperial physician has gone to the Shuijing Hall to ask for pulse. If Aiqing is worried, you can wait for the imperial physician to examine Zhang Shunyuan's pulse and ask in person. That's it."

Zhang Guzhi showed gratitude on his face: "My humble minister, I thank the emperor for taking pity on my little girl."

"It's just that I have a doubt. I don't know if the emperor can answer it for me."

"Aiqing, please tell me." Yan Xiu naturally wanted to ask.

Zhang Guzhi's tone was puzzled: "The little girl has been in the palace for a few months, and although she may feel unwell, she is not in such a dangerous situation as yesterday."

"Weichen knows that the emperor specially placed the little girl in the Shuijing Palace, and did not let anyone else live with her, and the weather has not changed much recently. I heard from my little girl that she is in good health recently when I communicated with her two days ago. How did you become so sick all of a sudden?"

There was no other expression on Yan Xiu's face, but he secretly said in his heart: old fox.

People who say that Zhang Guzhi is too rigid, stubborn and ignorant of flexibility are blind people.

He was the only one who discovered Zhang Guzhi's cunning and black belly early on, and referred Zhang Guzhi to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

"Deep Spring." Yan Xiu walked aside with his hands behind his back.

Shenquan ordered the little eunuch to move a chair for Zhang Guzhi to sit down, and he told the story between Zhao Mei and Zhang Jiaojiao.

They are all passed on, and the specifics are not important.

The important thing is that Zhang Shunyuan's illness came like a mountain, Zhang Guzhi didn't want to make a big deal happen, and the emperor also wanted to follow Zhang Guzhi's wishes and beat Zhao Shen.

"Your Majesty, I can't swallow this breath in my heart, and I'm bothering the emperor to announce Mr. Zhao to come into the palace. This minister wants to have a fight with Mr. Zhao." Zhang Guzhi stared: "How did Mr. Zhao teach his daughter? Concubine Wu? What's wrong? The canonization ceremony hasn't been held yet!"

Yan Xiu raised his finger and hooked the tip of his nose.

"What Aiqing said is, Shenquan, it is said that Mr. Zhao will enter the palace."

"My humble minister, thank the emperor for his care." Zhang Guzhi knelt down again.

The corners of Yan Xiu's lips twitched uncontrollably, and could only be aroused again.

At this moment, Shen Quan, who had gone out to communicate, hurried in, with a slightly strange expression on his face: "Your Majesty, Empress Wu is here."

Ok?
Yan Xiu suspected that he had heard wrong.

Shenquan smiled wryly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Wu brought some snacks to see you, she said that the emperor continued to deal with court affairs after leaving the court, so she specially brought some snacks."

He didn't bring in the snacks, and he felt that the emperor wouldn't eat them if they were brought in, which would be a waste of time.

Yan Xiu: ...

It's about time.

He looked at Zhang Guzhi who was sitting at the bottom, and Zhang Guzhi was also looking up at him.

Looking at each other, Yan Xiu's lips twitched again, and said in a deep voice, "Let her in."

Zhang Guzhi got up from the chair, and cupped his hands pretendingly: "Your Majesty, I'm a foreign minister, it's not convenient to see the empress in the harem, why don't I avoid it for a while?"

Look how nice it is to say?

It's not leaving, it's avoiding, come back later.

"It's okay, Aiqing is worried about Zhang Shunyuan's situation, it just so happens that Concubine Wu is the most qualified to express her opinion on yesterday's situation, I will ask a few questions for Aiqing."

Zhang Guzhi said gratefully: "My humble minister thanks the emperor."

After kowtowing, he got up and sat down again, and a charming woman in a gorgeous long dress came lightly.

"Chen and concubine greet the emperor, the emperor is auspicious."

Zhao Mei saluted slightly, showing her slender neck, and showing Yan Xiu her best side.

It's a pity that Yan Xiu didn't realize Zhao Mei's intention, he was looking for a memorial, so he said casually: "Excuse me."

Zhao Mei straightened up, raised her head and looked at Yan Xiu with affectionate eyes.

When she noticed that Yan Xiu didn't look at her from the beginning to the end, she felt bad all over.

Zhao Mei pursed her delicate lips, took the snack box from Jiru's hand, and walked towards the dragon case: "Your Majesty, these concubines specially prepared these for you, if the food is not served in time, it will definitely hurt your health. I also hope that the emperor will never make fun of his body."

As she said, she took off the lid of the food box and was about to bring out the snacks.

"Zhang Shangshu hasn't eaten yet, Concubine Wu will bring these snacks to Zhang Shangshu to eat, it can be regarded as an apology."

Yan Xiu refused cleanly.

Zhang Shangshu?
Zhao Mei twisted her body to look, and then she noticed that near the screen, Zhang Shangshu was sitting at the table drinking tea.

Xu heard the emperor mentioned him, so Zhang Guzhi looked this way, just in time to meet Zhao Mei's gaze.

Zhang Guzhi stood up with a light smile, cupped his hands and said: "The emperor was joking, Concubine Wu is the empress of Jingui, how can she apologize like a humble minister? What about Concubine Wu and the little girl, they are all the emperor's housework, and this humble minister is worthy of being with Zhao Let's talk a little bit more."

These few words made Zhao Mei very ashamed, and she naturally heard the meaning of Zhang Guzhi's words.

Zhao Mei was very angry.

The matter between her and Zhang Jiaojiao, how could Zhang Guzhi come forward to find the emperor?

She obviously didn't do anything, it was Zhang Jiaojiao who fainted and fell ill by herself, so how could it be her fault?

"Your majesty, my concubine..." Zhao Mei was about to defend herself, but she subconsciously swallowed her words when she met Shang Yanxiu's dark and deep eyes with coldness.

She looked at the food box in her hand, and walked slowly towards Zhang Guzhi.

"Master Zhang, the matter between Bengong and Zhang Shunyuan is a misunderstanding, you should have some snacks first, and listen to Bengong tell you slowly."

Zhao Mei said softly, took out the snacks from the food box, and placed them on the table.

There are two plates of dim sum in total, they are very delicate, and they are prepared with care.

Zhang Guzhi is not stupid, not to mention that he got up early in the morning and had to vent his anger on his daughter, so naturally he didn't have time to eat, when he saw these two plates of dim sum, he was not polite: "I thank the emperor for the reward."

He purposely did not mention Concubine Wu who was standing beside him, and only thanked the emperor, the meaning was self-evident.

I won't listen to you slowly, what can you do to me?
Zhao Mei was so angry that her face turned pale, but she couldn't say anything. After all, this is Zhang Shangshu, an important minister in the court, and even her father had to salute and show enough respect when he saw it.

Thinking of Zhang Guzhi's reason for losing her face, Zhao Mei regretted going to the Shuijing Palace yesterday.

Yan Xiu was sitting on the dragon chair reviewing the memorial, Zhang Guzhi was very comfortable sitting on the chair, eating snacks and drinking tea, while Zhao Mei, who was standing aside, looked awkward and at a loss.

Just as Zhao Mei was holding on, she heard Dong Lai's report.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Zhao has arrived."

"Why did father come here at this time?" Zhao Mei was very puzzled.
