All the temples are mostly built on the mountain, Biyun Temple is no exception, even if the winter is bleak, it does not damage the solemnity of the thousand-year-old temple. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info because of the worry about the two brothers Hongli and Hongday, I only felt depressed in my heart, so I didn't care about the cold outside the house, so I let the personal maid stay to take care of Hongli and Hongday who came back from playing in the snow outside the house, and I only took Xiaoshunzi out of the house with fox fur and mink warm sleeves, and walked aimlessly along the path of the temple.

When I walked to a temple tower, I saw Yi Shi coming towards him. Unlike her previous pomp, it is rare for her to have only one servant by her side.

I've never liked the Yi family, although from the time the Yi family entered the mansion to the present, except for the direct-for-tat confrontation when they first met, most of the time it was a secret contest, even if they usually met at the morning and dusk of the Wulanala clan and the family banquet, most of them were avoided if they could, and when they couldn't avoid it, they also chose to ignore each other's passing by, in line with the principle of maintaining apparent peace, no one wanted to have any head-on conflict with anyone.

Originally, he was in a good mood when he came out, but now when he sees Yi, he thinks of the ruthless opponent around him whose identity is still unknown, and his heart becomes more and more irritable. In such an emotion, he naturally didn't want to confront her again, so he motioned for Xiao Shunzi to turn around and return. has such a reaction, it's not that I'm afraid of what she will do, but I'm afraid that I won't agree with her, and I can't help but embarrass Yinzhen when my temperament makes trouble with her, and it also makes people who have a heart see the joke.

"It's a wonderful view, why is Geng Gege leaving?"

As soon as I turned around, there was a coquettish call with Yi's characteristic behind me, and her unusual behavior made me naturally frown, and my face was unconsciously bored, but it also made me stop my steps.

Secretly suppressed the true emotions, took away the displeasure on the face, slowly turned around with the indifference that had been practiced for more than ten years, maintained the proper etiquette with the usual disguise, and responded with a light smile: "No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it can't withstand the strong wind in the mountains, and after coming out for a long time, you will feel a little headache when it is blown by this wind, and you are worried that the cold will enter the body and hurt your body, so it is better to go back earlier." ”

"Listening to this, it's also reasonable, but it's a pity that such a good scenery can make people feel clear. As he spoke, he chuckled contrivedly.

"I have long known that Iger was born in a high-ranking family, and he is a very elegant and exquisite person, so naturally it is not comparable to a woman from a small family like me, so I don't bother Iger's mind to see the scenery. ”

I didn't want to have more contact with the hypocritical Yishi, so I followed her words and found an excuse to withdraw. But I didn't want her to lose her old eyes this time, so she stepped forward to stop me, lowered her voice slightly, and said a little lazily: "After entering the house for so long, our sisters haven't spoken well, and the scenery is pleasant now, why don't you chat?"

A gust of cold wind swept the snow slag on the tree, blowing on the face only felt pain, looked at the depression around me and really couldn't think of where the scenery at this time was pleasant to say, I didn't feel that I gathered the Qiu Yu on my body, and secretly thought that this Yi's is really abnormal, and it is weird everywhere, which makes people unable to see through it.

"I can't think of anything to talk about, but it's rare that you have a temperament, and if I shouldn't, I'll be stingy. Although she didn't feel that she had anything to talk about with Yishi, she was a little curious about what she wanted to say, so she walked to the shelter from the wind, and moved away from the steep cliff.

Yi Shi was obviously relieved to see that I agreed to stay, and let the maid she was carrying stay where she was, and followed me over, but saw that Xiao Shunzi was still with me, so he showed an expression of wanting to say nothing.

Although he has always had no taboos against Xiao Shunzi, he still signaled Xiao Shunzi to retreat when he saw Yi's secretive appearance, and he also knew that Xiao Shunzi would definitely not leave too far and did not need to worry about anything.

Seeing Xiao Shunzi leaving, Yi Shi seemed to change his face, the arrogant and arrogant color of the past was not there, he paced with heavy eyes, hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Do you think it is strange, you must be thinking that I will say something to you?"

I chuckled and didn't answer, but said to myself: "The hidden piles planted by the various factions in the government have harvested one stubble after another, but they are still unguardable, and they will always be put into another batch after one group falls." You are smart, although you seem to have mixed up with the Li family before, and you usually always make some annoying words and deeds, but you will not be stupid if you can still pick yourself out when the Li family falls. I'm just curious, who is the person behind you? There are only a few people who want to be close to the Li family, the eighth master, the ninth master, the tenth master, could it be that the fourteenth master also intervened?"

When Yi Shi heard this, his eyes were full of surprise, but then he chuckled and said: "After entering the mansion for so many years, I can see that there is never a shortage of people in our mansion, the fourth master is like this, Fujin is like this, and even the year side Fujin is the same, but these people are not as good as you." When I first entered the mansion, I thought that the Li family was also a shrewd, and there were two children by his side, how could he save up and fight with you, but after a long time, I found that she was actually the most stupid in this mansion, trying to rely on the grace of the past ten years and two children to make our fourth master change his mind, it was really naïve and stupid, so she would be planted in your hands, I am not surprised at all. ”

"Sure enough, it was you who gave advice behind the Li family, and I said how she suddenly became smart after being grounded for so many years. But what I don't understand is that you know that Chang Fujin's position cannot be easily shaken by the Li family, and you also know that I was in the limelight at that time, why did I have to let the people in this mansion fight?"

"If Fu Jin's son-in-law does not die, how can the Li family gain power, if the Li family cannot gain power, how can he give people a handle, and if Fu Jin does not lose his son, how can he lose his fighting spirit and die down? If not, with the endless calculations of these two people who you could really deal with in an isolated and helpless situation at that time, you can still mix like a fish in water as they are today? As for the Song family and her children, it is only to blame themselves for not framing you in the first place. "Yi's words were light and light, but they made me shudder to hear them.

Once again, he tightened his eyes tightly, and said with a solemn face: "So, all you do is that someone wants to pave the way for me?

"Hehe" Yi Shi covered his lips and smiled, and said in a mocking tone: "You are smart but you are also a fool, but you are really blessed, in this world, not only the fourth master and the ninth master know that they feel sorry for you, some people do far more than them, just don't say it." ”

"Isn't it the Ninth Master?" ignoring the banter and ridicule in Yi's words, frowning and thinking about who else would behave like this. I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't come up with it, and I was about to ask, when suddenly the person I mentioned just now who didn't think it was too likely flashed in my mind, and blurted out: "Is it the Fourteenth Master? Are you the Fourteenth Master?"

"Hey, even if you have a conscience, you can still remember the fourteenth master. Yi Shi smiled, raised his hand and stroked his hair, and said lightly.

"I don't understand what you say. Isn't the matter of Degege also from you? There is also the matter of Hongli washing the third day of the poison, and the most important thing is that the fourteenth master and the ninth master have always had a deep relationship, plus you said that everything you did was to help me, why did you connive at the Li family to secretly investigate the past between me and the ninth master, and use this matter to frame me again and again?"

"I don't say dark words in front of the Ming people, I have nothing to hide, although the incident of Degege is indeed what I did, but the Fourteenth Master will not let you and the Ninth Master fall into a crisis, there is indeed another force in the middle, and it also caught me off guard at that time, fortunately, you yourself are alert and respond to the crisis, otherwise I would really be to blame." But after that incident, you yourself gradually took control of the situation, and I was ordered to hibernate and watch your every move with a cold eye. Even if he knew that the Li family was going to be unlucky, he didn't make a move, but just removed himself according to the instructions of the fourteenth master. Yi Shi moved his body to me as he spoke, looked at me and said, "When the incident occurred in the east window of the Li family, I learned that the Li family had secretly investigated the past between you and the ninth master, and the booklet had already reached the fourth master. As for the latter things, I didn't do them, and I also investigated them secretly......"

"You found out that there was a shadow of the old man in the matter at this time, so it was only recently that you used the incense thing to make trouble with the old man to remind me of it. Without waiting for Ishi to finish, I finished what she had to say.

Yi Shi nodded and said: "You guessed right, the old family is not a Manchu or a Han, she was married by the emperor, she has no background, she has nothing to do with those things in the court, she is usually low-key and forbearing, and she has always been good friends with you, so I never thought that she would have any problems." It wasn't until after the incident in the Ministry of Internal Affairs that I combed through all the things that had happened over the years, and suddenly found that her shadow could be seen in everything. For example, in the case of Degege, the Chun'er who framed you served as a deacon in her room, and she should also feel the relationship between you and the ninth master from the clues, and it is also possible to check your past and then borrow the hands of others to inform the fourth master of this matter, and there is also the basin of Hongli washing at three o'clock, except for the people close to you, who can move their hands to poison the water. In addition, your yard used to be like a monolith, who can move around from time to time except for the people you are close to and trust?There are other things, as intelligent as you, can't you think of the connection?" Yi's expression was extremely solemn, and he looked serious, not like a lie.

"I won't easily suspect anyone because of one or two of your sentences, I will think carefully about it. What I want to know right now, why did you suddenly say this to me today?" I don't doubt the authenticity of Yi's words, these have actually been thought of before, but I can't figure out why this secret son buried deep in the mansion suddenly revealed his identity to me and said this, does she think that the threat of the old family has reached the point where she must reveal her identity to remind her, but from her attitude, it is obviously not the case, it is just a way to ask for directions to gain trust, presumably the next words are the focus of this time.

Sure enough, after I asked the question, Yi Shi pondered for a long time, and organized the language for a long time before continuing to speak:

"Now the situation is turbulent, the battle for the prince is in full swing, although the eighth master has lost power, but he intends to support the fourteenth master, the people who originally supported the eighth master in the court are now also switching to the fourteenth master, plus the ninth master mediated from it, and there is the support of the concubine, even the emperor himself has a preference for the fourteenth master, which can be described as the general trend. In comparison, the situation of the fourth master in the court inevitably seems a little weak. Now that the emperor is seventy years old, as the saying goes, people are rare in their seventies, and the emperor himself should have a plan in his heart, and these things should soon be conclusive, I am afraid that it is only a matter of time before the fourteenth master gains power, have you ever thought about what the situation of the fourth master will be if the competition for the crown prince fails? When the new monarch ascends the throne, how will you deal with yourself?"

"What do you mean - the emperor already has the intention to make the Fourteenth Master the crown prince, and then once the Fourteenth Master ascends the throne, he will kill his fourth brother, so you take the initiative to stand up now just to help the Fourteenth Master persuade me to stand up again at this time, and plan for myself as soon as possible?" I snorted mockingly, and asked coldly.

"You can't talk nonsense, but those who know the times are Junjie, since the Fourteenth Master has a heart and affection, you should also think about it, right?" Yi Shi just smiled meaningfully, and didn't mind that I deliberately explained the meaning of her words directly.

"Has the Fourteenth Master ever thought that although I am just a lowly concubine, I can be regarded as his sister-in-law, even if I stand up again now, this identity still cannot be changed, does he still plan to take me by his side for a day? Or is it that he is planning for the Ninth Master?" After being shocked and angry, I calmed down and further probed the intentions of Yi's - or Yinyu behind Yi's back.

"I don't know about this, but the Manchurians have always had the custom of marrying brothers, wives and concubines before entering the customs, and there is no paradox, as for the ninth master or the fourteenth master, this only depends on your own willingness, and the fourteenth master will not compete with the ninth master for anything. Yi Shi said lightly, as if she had forgotten the birth of her own Han woman.

When I heard this say, I suddenly didn't know what kind of reaction I should have. She is right, "step-marriage" is also known as "husband-brother marriage" and "wife-brother marriage". That is, when a woman dies her husband, she must pass it on to her deceased husband's brother. And the deceased husband's brother also has the right and duty to marry her. This marriage custom appeared in the late matrilineal clan period of primitive society, and was widely popular among many ethnic groups in ancient and modern times. The wife of the deceased can be successively adopted between the brothers of the same generation, between the father and the son and nephew, and the early Dangxiang, Mongolians, Jurchens, Liangshan Yi and so on also have this custom.

I took a deep breath and inhaled the cold wind into my gut to dispel the confusion of my thoughts. Yin's words made me panic for a while, not because of Yinyu's rude request, but about the movement of the court. With the support of Concubine De, coupled with the secret support of all forces, the news that Yinyu gave is naturally eight or nine points credible and certain, otherwise he would not have let Yi Shi come out and tell me this at this time.

There are some things that still need to be carefully considered, and I don't want to startle the snake, so I didn't immediately dismiss Yi's words, but just sighed and said: "It's been a long time since I came out, let me think about this matter clearly." ”

Seeing that I had the intention of terminating the conversation, and thinking that I did not immediately refuse, Yi Shi nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Naturally, I just hope that you know these words, but now that your side is already unstable, don't make more trouble for yourself." ”

Hearing the warning in Yi's words, he didn't bother to pay attention to it, and didn't want to stay alone with her for half a minute, so he turned around and left quickly.
