Book 35 - Chapter 9 – Man Will Die For Riches (1/2)
Zhang Jieyu’s inally pronan Bie Gong [the ‘other’ palace on Mount Zhongnan], ould have thought that thisthe two beloved i’an?
Before seeing Zhang Jieyu, Zheng Gonggong again and again warned Kou Zhong, if he did not have any urgent business, it would be best to coain another day to seek audience; he even hinted that were it not for he was looking up at Kou Zhong, he would definitely not want to go through this trouble for hi Gonggongto his very serious talk, Kou Zhong also thought about beating the return dru Jieyu’s one orth ’s ten words’, he had no choice but to brace hi her anger was a s He and the Sha Fa the severity of this case, he simply had to take this risk, no ong came out to the outer hall and said, “Furen indeed treats Xiansheng favorably, knowing that Xiansheng ca to see Xiansheng first”
Kou Zhong was dying to ask Zhang Jieyu what exactly were other things that she put aside, but he knew that asking such question was not appropriate; without any better option he took an indirect approach, “Has Furen cal replied, “She has just hurled a big state-flower vase that Huangshang gave her and smashed it to pieces, and she did not allow anybody to clean up; would you say she has cal nearly turned around and leave; it’s just that his arrival has been reported inside, so it becaet-off situation In this kind of situation, if he told her that he was going to leave Chang’an, he wondered ould her reaction be?
“Co said, “Don’t let Furen wait”
There was only this six-character saying in Kou Zhong’s mind, ‘every one shall die in his own sin’ [zi zuo nie, bu ke huo]; his scalp went numb, he entered the inner courtyard
The study roo his to vent her anger; the floor was clean,respectfully on the left and right with head hung loith their heart alar [idiom: fear and trepidation in the face of disaster], the only thing they dared to look at was the floor
Seething, Zhang Jieyu was sitting in an i, she coldly said, “Xiansheng, please sit down”
Kou Zhong possessed an eloquent torrential talent, but in this case, he did not even dare to breathe loudly; he obediently sat down opposite her
Zhang Jieyu was looking out theSuddenly she sighed, her voice turned soft, although it still carried a stiff, icy-cold ishang to Mount Zhongnan?”
Kou Zhong al is here, how could Xiaoren dare to stay away?’ Fortunately, he re flattery words, how could he say goodbye to her? Without any better option he just shook his head
Zhang Jieyu’s pretty eyebrows deeply knitted, she spoke coldly, “Xiansheng came to visit me, what exactly is the matter?” But then she felt that the tone of her voice was too heavy to be used toward the benefactor who saved her life “Xiansheng, please don’t take offense,” she spoke apologetically, “I’ said, “Seeing Furen’s ood today, Xiaoren indeed has a htened to speak”
Zhang Jieyu was slightly stunned; her eyes , the latter i Jieyu scolded tenderly, “All of you, get out of here, I want to speak with Xiansheng in private”
Being able to leave, Zheng Gonggong and the others siratitude to Kou Zhong; hurriedly they scattered away like birds and beasts
When only the two of the Jieyu left her seat, pressed one hand on the table, and spoke angrily, “Mo Xiansheng, you be the judge foris she? Unexpectedly Huangshang is leaving nan Not distinguishi+ng between senior and junior, who’s first and who’s last, how could there be such an unfair, unreasonable thing under the heavens?”
Hearing that, Kou Zhong was du on However, although Zhang Jieyu was showing her shrewish side, she was still i deer around her
Without needing to ask, he already knew; Li Yuan left his two favorite imperial concubines in the palace, it was out of consideration for their own safety He let Dong Shuni co, most probably because he understood her relationshi+p with Yang Xuyan As for whether the fact was like this, perhaps only Li Yuan knew
TheJieyu was; she hatefully said, “Qin wang brought this vixen [lit fox-spirit] back fro bad intentions; he wanted to confuse Huangshang This is too revolting!”
Kou Zhong was afraid she ht cry, which would be even more difficult to handle, and then hoould he talk about saying goodbye? Thereupon he busily said, “Niangniang, please cal”
Astonished, Zhang Jieyu asked, “What understanding?”
Inventing crazy nonsense, Kou Zhong said, “Just nohen Xiaoren entered the Palace, I ca; at that tioing into the Palace to see Furen, Huangshang revealed a very concerned look about Furen, he iain to serve Furen well Taizi Dianxia will be able to confireration, he was certain that Li Jiancheng would not expose hi Jieyu was , half-doubting, she said, “If Huangshang really cares about me, then why is it that when he left, he did not even co was now certain that Zhang Jieyu was not Yin Gui Pai’s rievance, none did not come from the bottom of her heart, absolutely not fake; thereupon he confir is afraid that if he saw Furen first, he would be reluctant to leave, or perhaps he would not be able to help taking Furen along to Zhongnan As for the reason, it is not Xiaoren’s place to know”
And then lowering his voice, he said, “Xiaoren is ’ part of the ‘seeing and hearing, asking everything’ is precisely referring to this Because Huangshang has a load on his , his cheekbones are turning red; this trip to Zhongnan is not as si soh for Furen to know it in your heart, you must never, ever reveal it to anybody else, not even Yin De Niangniang or Taizi Dianxia Otherwise, it’s hard to say, but Huangshang rave expression; absentmindedly she returned to her seat, nodded her head, and said, “Now that Xiansheng ’s dee, as if he has a very heavy load on his hui to seal off the two side doors, left and right, leading to the , and the others for awas that he handed over the Xuanwu Gate Imperial Guards Headquarters to Pei Ji to take full responsibility, leaving Jiancheng Taizi to take charge of the city defense; all these arrange with reason”
Inwardly Kou Zhong scolded Li Yuan for beating the grass to scare the snake However, fro’s standpoint, it was really not hisher silky chest, Zhang Jieyu exhaled slowly, and then said, “Nownot only kno to cure illness, you also kno to pacify others’ heart Xiansheng’s co as it is within ’s sake
Kou Zhong heaved a sigh of relief inwardly; after giving everything he had, finally he seized a good opportunity to talk

Xu Ziling ht I would not see you again”
Xu Ziling knew that relying of his exceptional qinggong, Yun Shuai really had the ability to spy on the Tang Army’s movements in secret “What did Guoshi+ [teacher of the state] see?” he asked
Under the distinct silhouette of his high and straight nose, Yun Shuai’s eyes appeared to be even deeper Revealing a hint of enigaze on Xu Ziling as he responded, “I heard intense noise of a gate being broken co over, I saw Li Yuanji and Dugu Faht backyard, and then Li Yuan and a large nuuards rushed over What exactly happened?”
Just by hearing hoas able to casuallyknew that Yun Shuai had spent so door that aroused his attention must be from Zhu Yuyan; she would rather have the Demonic Emperor Relics temporarily fall into the Li Fa Xuyan obtained it
Xu Ziling suddenly had a little regret for cooperating with Yun Shuai Fro in his eyes just now, he intuitively felt that all his actions were based on self-interest, and if necessary, he could turn his back ruthlessly As a Persian living a the Teacher of the State position, his situation was very similar to Zhao Deyan, who, as a Han, was the Eastern Tujue’s Teacher of the State
Merely this kind of si wary If he also had wild schereat headache for them
In that instant he aes in their situation Their originally fool-proof plan has beco nodded and said, “What happened last night was the heaviest accident; e entered the treasure house, ere detected by Li Yuanji’s round situation; fortunately we round river This time I came here to tell Yun Shuai that the plan is canceled”
Shaken, Yun Shuai asked, “What about the De was even more convinced that Yun Shuai was not without any desire to obtain the Relics himself; but since at least up to this ree Thereupon he smiled and said, “The Relics is in our hands”
Stunned, Yun Shuai said, “Since that’s the case, why cancel the plan?”
Xu Ziling shook his head as he laughed in spite of hiuarantee that the Relics is in our hands, no one is willing to believe In this kind of situation, if we proceed according to plan, it will be akin to throwing ourselves into the net that Zhao Deyan is laying out”
Yun Shuai said, “If the Li Family’s men cannot find the Relics in the treasure house, how could they not believe?”
Xu Ziling said, “Currently the storehouse is full of as, the Li Family’s men could only make quick inspection; the vile environh search”
He did not tell Yun Shuai half a word of lie; he just did not reveal the existence of the real treasure house
Afterto himself irresolutely for a moment, Yun Shuai asked, “What exactly is the Demonic E responded truthfully
