The group favors the little queen, my dad is the big villain!

No one expected it.

Originally it was just spread quietly, thinking that the "cut sleeves" incident, which was meant to be a joke, would intensify in a few days.

On this day, after Chu Zhaozhao left school, he saw Xu Zhengbai standing not far away.

Seeing her coming out, Xu Zhengbai hurriedly greeted her calmly.

Chu Zhaozhao whispered to Sister Chen Fei, and then followed him to a hidden alley aside.

She knew that if there wasn't something important, Xu Zhengbai, who was busy all day long, would not come in person.

"Have you found out?" Chu Zhaozhao looked at Xu Zhengbai, who was frowning, and had a bad feeling in his heart.

Xu Zhengbai never regarded her as a child. Regardless of her status or wisdom, he only regarded the little girl in front of him as his superior.

Xu Zhengbai lowered his voice, "We found a few gangsters, but their families said they haven't been home for several days."

It spread out from the little gangster...

Chu Zhaozhao also frowned. Does that mean there are other people behind him?

She thought that the rumors about her eldest brother's broken sleeves were caused by someone gossiping, but it seemed that she was thinking simply.

Since my father started handing over power, although things seemed fine in court, the turmoil in private became even greater.

"It seems that this matter has something to do with the people in the court." Chu Zhaozhao looked at him, "You have worked hard these days, so let's end it here."

Xu Zhengbai nodded.

After all, he is just a businessman, and he can still avoid the court affairs whenever he encounters them.

Now Shuizhuolou has opened three stores in the capital, and each place is full of business. New news is recorded every day by waiters who come and go. This is his source of information.

"My boss needs to hurry up. Now it's not just the young masters who are talking about it, but also many people in the capital who have spoken privately... If this continues, I'm afraid it will harm the reputation of the eldest young master." Xu Zhengbai said again.

There is not necessarily any benefit to having such a thing as reputation.

But if your reputation is ruined, it is a kind of trouble in itself...especially for those aristocratic families who attach great importance to their reputation.

The common people don't know what happened in the court, but this kind of story about a certain young master's sleeve being cut off is something everyone likes to hear!

Not only do I like listening to it, but I also like to continue spreading it.

What's more, he is the son of the regent's family...

"I understand." Chu Zhaozhao nodded, "Wait while I wait, and I'll tell Sister Chen Fei and the others that you can take me to Miaoshou Yuan in the west of the city."

Miaoshouyuan in the west of the city is where she usually treats "incurable diseases" for the people of the capital.

Xu Zhengbai nodded and turned sideways to let her pass.

Chu Zhaozhao arrived next to Concubine Chen. As soon as he said a few words, he noticed Youdao's hot gaze falling on him.

She subconsciously turned around and caught the eye of the woman in green not far away.

This woman had fair skin and an obvious black mole in the middle of her eyebrows. She smiled slightly at Chu Zhaozhao who looked over, and then slowly looked away.

"Zhou Ziyao." Chu Zhaozhao spit out her name.

Although Ziyao and I know each other this week, they don't interact with each other on weekdays.

"She lives in the same hall as Concubine Jade." Concubine Chen also noticed Zhou Ziyao not far away, "Why did she become curious about you today?"

Normally, girls in the Imperial College can finish their studies until they are fifteen years old.

Like Concubine Chen, she felt that it was boring to return to the palace after finishing her studies, so she reported to the Queen Mother that she wanted to be the concubine here temporarily.

"I heard a little bit of news. Her sister lives in the same household as me. It seems that the Zhou family plans to send her to the palace to serve the emperor." Concubine Yun said slowly, "This Zhou Ziyao is Zhou Zhong, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice.

His eldest granddaughter."

Entering the palace to serve the emperor again...

Chu Zhaozhao suddenly remembered that his little brother came over a few days ago and talked about Prince Ying's granddaughter.

"Now everyone in the court is urging the emperor to select girls." Concubine Chen spoke.

Not only that, when she went home a few days ago, her father specially waited for her in the study and asked her to give birth to the prince as soon as possible in the palace.

Thinking of this, Concubine Chen sighed quietly in her heart.

Several people were talking here, but the concubine next to her remained silent as usual, her eyes slightly lowered but there was a glimmer of light that no one noticed.

"Now the little emperor is like a piece of meat. Everyone who sees it wants to come up and take a bite." Concubine Yun clicked her tongue.

As soon as she finished speaking, Concubine Jade raised her head and said, "Isn't it bad for Concubine Yun to say this to the Emperor?"

Concubine Yun rolled her eyes without scruple, "If you have the ability, go and file a complaint."

"Your Majesty is the most powerful person in the world..." Concubine Jade's face turned red.

"Okay, okay, let's go back to the palace first." Concubine Chen quickly interrupted her, for fear that they would quarrel here.

But Concubine Chen finally pulled Concubine Yun and winked.

It doesn't matter what they say in private, but they still have to be careful outside so as not to fall into trouble.

Concubine Yun took a deep breath and calmed down, "The Emperor is the most powerful person, I shouldn't say that to him."

Absolutely amazing!

She just said it casually, it was just a joke!

Not to mention that everyone wanted to take a bite of the little emperor, she now felt that this concubine wanted to catch her at every turn.

"Go back first." Chu Zhaozhao said in a deep voice, "If you have anything to do, wait until I get back to talk about it."

"Be careful." Concubine Chen grabbed her hand.

Chu Zhaozhao took Dongzhu and followed Xu Zhengbai's carriage all the way to the west of the city, and went straight into the Shuizhuo Building in the west of the city.

This Shuizhuo Restaurant is the second one in Beijing, and its business is also full.

But Chu Zhaozhao never worries about business matters...

She didn't understand and didn't ask.

In fact, for Xu Zhengbai, this itself is a kind of trust.

Chu Zhaozhao very skillfully took a human skin mask as thin as a Zen wing on his face, then picked up a small brush and gently swept it on both sides of his face, and then changed into a mask that covered his face from head to toe.

clothes.

She hasn't grown taller yet, so when she dresses up, she looks like a skinny old woman in her seventies.

Xu Zhengbai personally took out an inconspicuous book from the bookshelf next to him, put his hand in and flicked it, and saw the entire bookcase opened smoothly and silently.

Inside is a tunnel that allows two people to pass through, surrounded by luminous pearls.

Chu Zhaozhao has walked this road countless times.

Walking out along the tunnel, you can reach the house in Miaoshouyuan. This is a hidden passage designed by Xu Zhengbai for her.

Not only that, there are secret guards arranged by the emperor's little brother to guard the surrounding area of ​​Miaoshou Yuan... It is really safe, safe, and safe.

"Just follow me Dongzhu, you go and do your work first." Chu Zhaozhao waved his hand.

Xu Zhengbai nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something.

"My boss, I'm going to Zhao County in a few days."
