'Are you going to help me collect the body?'

Zhao Cuo suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He had seen how possessive the Queen Mother was towards him. Last time in the palace, he only made her angry for a long time just by saying that he wanted to get a wife.

If his candid embrace with the young master was exposed...

You don’t need to think about it to know that the female devil will not let her and the others go!

"It's okay if the empress comes..." Zhao Cuo did not express any resistance on his face, "But don't you have to rest at Hai hour every day?"

He knew that the Queen Mother's favorite thing was to sleep, and no one could disturb her except for urgent state affairs.

"I can make an exception for you."

The Queen Mother calmly said words that made him despair.

"Then I'll trouble you to do it for you..."

He said pretending to be calm.

"uh-huh?"

Empress Dowager Zhao looked at the young man with calm eyes. Seeing that his eyes did not dodge, she chuckled and said lazily:

"Seeing that Chu Biezhi really saved you, I reluctantly lent her my heart and soul for a few days, but you must keep your integrity for me."

'So you're not coming tonight?'

Zhao Cuo did not dare to ask any more questions and could only nodded quietly. At this time, Luan Jia had already arrived at the Royal Garden in Guangping Prefecture.

"You have done a good job in flood prevention and disaster relief. Now you are investigating corruption, right? Mr. Zhao, what do you plan to do?"

"Strict."

While Zhao Cuo answered, he took the lead to step off the chariot and helped Empress Dowager Zhao to the ground. Of course, the great fire-lifter did not need his support, but this was etiquette, and this bad woman still needed his support when walking.

"oh?"

The Queen Mother laughed.

"Why did Wu Jiu, who had always been soft-hearted, change his ways?"

"This is different."

He supported the Queen Mother and walked into the palace, greeted by dozens of maids.

"In the past, those corrupt officials in Beijing only took money and did not cause any harm to human life. The officials of Guangping Prefecture concealed the flood together, so that the court has only begun to provide disaster relief. During this period, the surviving victims did not know how many people died of starvation.

.”

Zhao Cuo said with a normal expression.

"This time we must severely punish those corrupt officials who deceive their superiors and conceal their actions to serve as a warning to others."

"well said."

The Queen Mother Zhao snorted coldly.

"I want to confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans."

Young Master Zhao stopped talking. He knew that this kind of thing would never disappear in Dayu, and he could not always plead for those evil officials to save their relatives.

"I think the main thing now is to respond to the South China Sea, right? A dragon king broke into our territory and caused chaos. What do you think we should do?"

"Do you think this little dragon clan has the guts to offend me, Dayu?"

Empress Dowager Zhao asked lightly.

"this……"

Zhao Cuo was suddenly startled. Only the four kings of the Dragon Clan were apparently saints, which also cost one on the Bajiang River. It is no exaggeration to say that the fire bearers under the Queen Mother can now surround the South China Sea. They and

The human race's opposition is purely an egg against a stone.

"What the empress means is..."

He understood clearly in his heart.

"Even if I send a mission to the South China Sea to question you now, those wet-born egg-turners will still claim that the flood disaster in Guangping Mansion was caused by the black dragon without permission and has nothing to do with the Dragon Clan."

She spoke slowly.

"I see."

Zhao Cuo suddenly realized when he thought about his move to adjust grain from the Liangjiang area.

“The people in Hanoi County, which was most severely affected by the flood, were barely alive, but there were hundreds of thousands of victims in several counties. Quang Binh Prefecture will definitely not be able to rescue so many people.

There is very little money and food left in the government, and the only one who can provide support is the wealthy Jiangnan."

He found that this explanation could explain why the Dragon Clan dared to provoke Dayu. They were probably colluding with the Seven Kings and wanted to use this trick to weaken the money bags of the two imperial courts in Jiangnan and Jiangbei.

"If the grain reserves in the two rivers are used for disaster relief in Guangping Prefecture, there will be a shortage of grain and grass once war breaks out. The King of Qi really wants to rebel."

The Queen Mother sneered. At this moment, Zhao Cuo had to admire her clairvoyance, and she could easily see the essence through the appearance.

'You have to learn this.'

He admitted that his overall view was far inferior to that of Queen Mother Dayu.

"But if we don't transfer grain from the south of the Yangtze River, how will the hundreds of thousands of victims be resettled? A mistake may trigger a civil uprising."

What the rulers fear most is that the people will not be able to fill their bellies. Most monarchs do not love the people like their own children, but because as long as there is no food, someone will rise up.

"Zhao Cuo, there is nothing wrong with your arrangement, but you can only use the granary of Jiangbei Prefecture, and there is no problem with the money and food of Jiangnan Prefecture. I will squeeze out grain from all the prefectures in the world to supply Guangping. This should be enough."

"I will write a new letter and send it to the Governor of Liangjiang."

Young Master Zhao seized this opportunity and prepared to run away.

"You don't need to handle this matter." Of course Empress Dowager Zhao would not let him go like this, "I will personally issue the order."

"I still want to lead officials to investigate corruption..."

He looked troubled.

"Don't you like to be the hands-off shopkeeper the most? You even brought Ji Ming on the Southern Tour because you wanted to call him at any time, right? Shouldn't you be the one to take care of me now?"

Queen Mother Dayu looked at him dissatisfied.

"Before I picked him up, I had ordered people to boil hot water in the palace..."

Zhao Cuo was interrupted before he finished speaking.

"It turns out that you have long been thinking of waiting for me to bathe and change clothes? That's right, let's go to Tangmu Pavilion."

…

"What on earth am I here to do?"

Zhao Cuo held the bath supplies in his hands and turned his back to the hot mist. The real sound of water kept reaching his ears. He was already ready to challenge his weakness, but he didn't expect that the Queen Mother, who always teased him, would

Let him do odd jobs, she is really a bad woman whose words and deeds are inconsistent!

"Zhao Cuo, come here."

The high and lazy female voice finally reached his ears.

"yes."

Young Master Zhao turned around without changing his expression and walked into the mist. He could vaguely see a wooden barrel as high as a person, and the beautiful figure of the girl was vaguely visible.

"You come and wash my hair."

She continued to speak in a coquettish tone.

"I'm afraid this song is inappropriate, isn't it?"

He was reserved for a moment.

"Then you and I can take a bath together."

Empress Dowager Zhao said with a chuckle.

"..."

Zhao Cuo walked forward with soap soap for shampooing.

At this time, Queen Mother Dayu in the bathtub had her back to him.

Her beautiful back, which looked the color of snow in the mist, was set off by her red hair.

"Hurry up."

She urged lazily.

"I see."

Young Master Zhao fiddled with her satin-like black hair under the guidance of the maid on the side. Because he himself had long hair, this little thing was easy for him.
