Chapter 144: Plotting the Game
Early the next morning, the Wulanala clan hugged the child over, saying that it was because Shen Shi was born, and he was blessed by heaven when he turned evil into auspiciousness, so Yinzhen gave him the nickname Tianshen. The name has the word "day" in it, which shows Yinzhen's expectations for this child. But I didn't feel happy, but I felt that although it was just a nickname, it was still too ostentatious, but it was already set and it was not easy to object, so that's it.
Looking at Xiao Tianshen, who was buried in his arms and sucking milk, his whole heart became soft, and he felt that his chest was filled with happiness, and the expression on his face was the same as when he saw Qian's arms and longevity, which may be the maternal brilliance mentioned in the book.
"When I first carried it back, everyone but me would be distressed when they touched it. Now in your arms, I don't toss at all, and sure enough, it's still a mother and son. Ulanala sighed, his tone full of envy and loneliness.
"Sister, don't be sad, now that Qian and my child can be born safely, thanks to my sister's protection, it's just that the road ahead will only be more dangerous. I'm afraid I won't be able to protect these two children. I whispered to the Ulanala clan, lest I disturb the little Tianshen in my arms.
"In fact, there are some things we all know in our hearts, how much it has to do with that court, but we can't get evidence, and the prince can't deal with it. The Ulanala clan sighed helplessly.
I was silent, looking at the soft and glutinous little body in my hand, as well as the quiet and peaceful face, my eyes were slightly sunken, and I said: "It stands to reason that behind that courtyard is only the official position of her father's fourth grade, but he is quite eye-catching in front of the emperor and can speak." If it weren't for that, how could he have escaped from a case as big as Degege. The fourth master's thinking sister knows best that she can't move now not only because she can't make mistakes, but even if she does, I'm afraid she will have to take into account the various involvement of the emperor and her father in the court. So ......"
At this point I paused, watching as the Ulanala clan did not continue. The Ulanala clan nodded knowingly and said, "If you want her to lose her support, you must first get rid of the forces behind her. But now is not the time, the prince did not like to manage contacts before, and his power in the DPRK and China was weak, and now he can't act rashly for the sake of the dispute between the inner house. ”
I smiled lightly and said: "If you don't have connections, then you can manage your connections, your power is thin, and you must consolidate your power, now the prince is not good, and the above things are only a matter of time, we all hope that the fourth master can achieve his wish." However, don't blame me for saying something selfish, the restlessness in the house will only make the fourth master more troubled. Now it's not that we don't want to settle down, it's really that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop, in this case, my sister is in charge of the inner house, how can I wait for the fourth master to take care of it everywhere. ”
"What should we do in your opinion?" asked Ulanara, reflecting on my words.
"As my sister said, the prince knows that these things are related to that courtyard recently, but he doesn't dare to do it, it's nothing more than worrying about the lack of connections and power, and he is afraid that he will affect the whole body, why don't we help the prince, and we can also let the courtyard distract us. ”
The Ulanala clan didn't understand what I meant, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "How did the people of the inner house touch the affairs of the court?"
I smiled slightly and said, "Sister, I forgot that there is a side Fujin with a lot of background in our house." ”
"You mean...... Nian?" Ulanala suddenly realized.
"Yes, I heard that Nian's father, Nian Yaoling, was a prudent official all his life, and the local magistrate was diligent in his administration and loved the people, and he was deeply favored. Although he has now retired from the elderly, his brother Nian Qianyao is being valued by the emperor, so the emperor will point out Nian's family to the fourth master, which shows how much he values the fourth master. Nian Qianyao is quite ambitious, he is a fierce general, and now he is in the sky, and he can be described as an upstart in the court, in this case, if the fourth master can take him under his command, he will naturally be like a tiger with wings. Because of his sister's relationship, he will inevitably hope that the fourth master's wish will be fulfilled in order to seek his own wealth and power. I explained.
"That's true, but what should we do?" asked Ulanara.
I didn't answer immediately, so I first handed Xiao Tianshen, who was full of food and drink in my arms, to Mama Xia to burp, and then thought about how to say some thoughts.
The Ulanala clan was not in a hurry to ask, and took advantage of my thinking to tell Mama Xia to be careful when she held the child.
"Actually, I have a way, but it can't help but be damaged, if it is left in the past, I won't think about it, but now for the sake of the two children of Yuanshou and Tianshen, as well as ourselves, I'm afraid it can only be like this. If I say it, if my sister thinks it's inappropriate, she won't blame it?" I said cautiously, hesitantly.
"People will always become, not to mention the situation is forced, naturally can not be compared with the past, you first say to listen, if it is not feasible, just do not say it, how can you think more and blame. "The Ulanala clan motioned for me to speak bluntly, relatively without scruples.
I thought about it for a while and said, "The fourth master is careless about female pigments, and it's really hard to say what Nian's thoughts are. However, no matter whether the fourth master likes Nian's or not, at least he has the heart to be close to Nian's, and he thinks about it the same as we are now. It's just that because of people's words, it is inconvenient to get too close, so as not to make the emperor jealous. In this case, I am afraid that the trick of letting Nian's favor win over Nian Qianyao may not work. But think about it from another angle, if Nian is wronged, will Nian Qianyao sit idly by?"
"What do you mean...... Can we make a false move to kill people with a sword?"
The False Dao is the twenty-fourth of the thirty-six schemes, and its original intention is to say that if the enemy coerces the small country to submit to him, we will take the opportunity to come to the rescue, creating a favorable military situation.
I nodded with my eyes in my eyes and said, " Before, we didn't want Nian's to be co-opted by the Li family to deliberately stiffen the relationship between the two, but now I see that the two are already opposite, and Nian's is cautious and tactful, and he also respects his sister, and it seems that he also wants to make friends with me in this courtyard, so why don't we try to make the relationship between Li and Nian's completely deteriorate, so that Li will take action against Nian's, fight with Nian's, and have no time to sell to us again, we will take this opportunity to help Nian's again, so that Nian's side will fall to our side, and at the same time, Nian Qianyao will be dissatisfied with Li and target the political forces behind Li's family, so that with Nian Qianyao's target, the gang behind Li will probably be too busy to take care of themselves, and they will not dare to act rashly, in this way, Li will also throw a rat bogey, and dare not make a big move. This can also help the fourth master delay time and establish his own faction in the middle of the court, and when the fourth master is full-fledged, as long as he overthrows the Li family and gets rid of the reliance behind the Li family, why should the Li family be afraid?"
After listening to me, the Ulanala clan asked, "And then, after the Li clan loses power, what are you going to do to the Nian clan?"
"The fourth master must be dedicated to the Nian family, so that Nian Qianyao's peace of mind can be used by the fourth master. I said.
"You are willing to let go of the past favor, you must know that the prince's whole heart is now on you, even if you are willing, the prince is afraid that he will be reluctant to wronged you. When Ulanala said this, his tone was sour and envious.
"The fourth master is a person with great love, he naturally understands how to weigh the pros and cons, and how can he stick to the personal feelings of his children. What's more, I already have Tianshen, as well as Sister Qian and Xiao Yuanshou, for myself and them, I just want to live a comfortable life quietly, and why fight for those unrealistic **** things. I said.
"Hey, it's easy to say, do you know the coldness and boredom of sleeplessness?" said Ulanala with his eyes down.
I smiled and said: "I said to the fourth master before, even if there is no man, I can live well, now this sentence is still valid, everyone should not pin their lives and destiny on others, not to mention that I still have Xiao Tianshen, and if the Nian family can really win the heart of the fourth master, then I will fall out of favor sooner or later, it is better to be a favor, so as not to make people laugh." ”
"That's the reason, it's just that, although I have no heirs by my side, I believe that your commitment will naturally help the Qian family and Yuanshou. I just hope that when you are free in the future, you can often take Tianshen to walk around in my yard, this child is destined for me, I like it tightly, I don't ask you to give up the child to me, as long as you can often see it and be a companion, how about it?"
"What's so difficult about this, my sister likes Tianshen is his blessing, if Shen is still young today, it is inconvenient to go out, if my sister is free, she can also come and walk around often. "After I have no worries about the Ulanala clan, I have also shown kindness and open-mindedness to her.
"That's good, in short, you take care of yourself now, there are some things you can't remember, wait until the confinement is out. I know that you don't worry about those people in the house, so you specially asked your mother to choose a reliable nurse for Tianshen, and to be a nurse who is also fed by this nurse, Tianshen does not reject her, you accept it, if you want to use people around you in the future, just tell me, I will naturally arrange it properly. Ulanala smiled and agreed.
Although the attitude towards the Wulanala clan has changed, but when I heard her say that she sent the nurse over, I still felt a little embarrassed, but I also understood her thoughts, whether she arranged it because she really loved Tianshen, or wanted to plant a secret stake next to me, I couldn't refuse, fortunately, now many things need her help to complete, and there is nothing to avoid her, so I simply accept it calmly, at least I can ask for peace of mind in Tianshen's care.
Wulanala left with his front foot, and Qian entered the house with Yuanshou on his back foot.
I asked Qian: "When I gave birth, apart from those two things, is there anything wrong with you?"
Qian thought for a while, hesitated and said, "Because of the chaos of the scene that day, there is something I really haven't talked about with anyone. ”
"What's the matter?" I asked, confused.
Qian pursed his lips and said: "At that time, after my sister's decoction was found to have been poisoned, the green bamboo around Fujin came to me, saying that this courtyard was too chaotic, and she received the will of the masters to let her take Yuanshou to Fujin and take care of it temporarily. Later, I thought about what my sister had explained, and no one could give it to Yuanshou, so I didn't give it to her, but said that I would send it to Fujin in person after feeding. But Luzhu didn't follow, so he had to take the child away immediately, but fortunately, when he was in trouble, Father-in-law Su also sent someone over to say that the master asked me to go through their house with the child, so as not to go wrong. At that time, I felt that something was wrong with Luzhu, but I didn't say much, so I followed Su Gonggong's people and passed over with Yuanshou. Later, because he was worried about the people around Fujin who was involved in this matter, he didn't dare to speak, so he thought about waiting for his sister to wake up and discuss before acting. ”
"Green Bamboo came to you to have a baby, how can you be sure that Fu Jin didn't let her come?" I asked in a gloomy whisper.
"Because when I carried the child to the fourth master's house, the fourth master and Fu Jin were talking, and when I saw me coming, Fu Jin only glanced at Yuanshou, and said to the master, 'Qian Gege raised this child really well, it seems that the child from his own milk is strong', and then said to me, 'This child is smart, you are a blessed one, take good care of yourself, you must take good care of it, don't have any mistakes'." With these two sentences, I feel that Fujin has no intention of holding Yuanshou to his side at all, so it is strange that Luzhu came to have a child. Sister, I think there is a problem with this servant of Luzhu, do you say that we should inform Fujin. Qian carefully thought back to the events of that day and analyzed.
"This must be told to Fu Jin, it seems that Fu Jin's side is not peaceful, we are all in the same boat now, and it is always right to mention each other. I said, and then called Xiao Shunzi in and asked him to rush to the Fujin Courtyard to inform him of the matter.
Xiao Shunzi went out, and Qian said with palpitations: "Fortunately, my sister has foresight, otherwise this child is afraid that he will be more than lucky." ”
"Don't say this, Yuanshou is a blessed child, from the day of the third day he will warn of poisonous water, you can know that this child is blessed, you just need to take good care of her, don't think about anything else, I will help you arrange everything, don't worry." I was relieved.
"Sister, when did you say that such a worrying day would be the end. Qian sighed in confusion, since she had Xiao Yuanshou, she who was innocent and carefree in the past began to become easily sentimental, and often sighed and worried.
I repeated to her my plan with the Ulanala clan, saying, "There will be a day when the clouds will see the light of day, but we all need to be patient and not mess with ourselves, you know?"
That's what I said, but what I didn't expect was that people are not as good as heaven, and there is always a mistake in Baimi.
After Xiao Shunzi came back from the Ulanala clan, he said that the green bamboo had disappeared since I gave birth, and the Ulanala clan was also sending people to look for it, but no one was found.
Tianshen's washing was held together with Yuanshou's 100-day banquet, because with the experience of Yuanshou washing, the whole process was taken care of by the Wulanala clan and there was not much trouble, but something happened on this day that everyone did not expect, and it also plunged the Qian family into an unprecedented crisis.
On this day, Luzhu's body was found in an abandoned dry well in the house, and she said that the body had died two days earlier, that is, on the day I gave birth, with scissors stuck in her chest, and a tool discarded beside her.
Immediately afterwards, the scissors were identified by the treasury as Qian's, and not long after, the chamberlain beside Qian was arrested. The chamberlain pointed out that the utensils belonged to the Qian family, because the Qian family could not bear the loneliness, so they often comforted themselves or did obscene things with him. On the day I gave birth, Qian was waiting in the house, and somehow he was interested, so he took out his own tools to comfort him, not wanting to be bumped into by the green bamboo who came to spread the word. Seeing that Qian wanted to denounce her so much, the two argued, Qian picked up scissors and killed Lu Zhu, and then asked the chamberlain to throw Lu Zhu's body and tools into the dry well.
The chamberlain followed her from the Qian family's entry into the mansion, and originally thought that she was a credible and reliable person, but she didn't expect to have such a testimony. In this kind of situation, where there are both human and material evidence, even if the Wulanala clan and I already knew the strangeness of this, we could only detain the Qian clan first, which can be regarded as a kind of protection.
It's just that the Qian family was detained, and Yuanshou couldn't suffer with her. I insisted on keeping Yuanshou and Tianshen by my side at the same time, but I was opposed by the Ulanala clan.
Ulanala said, "You have a day that needs to be fed, and how can you feed Yuanshou again." If you don't leave it to me to take care of it first. ”
I said: "It's not that I don't believe that my sister can take care of Yuanshou, but because Qian's grievances can only rely on my sister to help clarify and wash away, and when the time comes, I am afraid that my sister will not be able to take care of it left and right and let the villain take advantage of the loophole." I have plenty of milk, and my two children are still young and can't eat much, so I should be able to take care of them. In short, I will not leave these two children to anyone to take care of them, and I must feed them every day, and I can't fake them, just because I have twins. ”
Wulanala had no choice but to have a nurse to assist in feeding, so I had to concentrate on investigating Qian's case thoroughly according to my wishes, hoping to get her out as soon as possible. (To be continued.) )
