005: Birthday gift, Yuan family crisis
After being dizzy by Lou Yueqing, for a few days, the Empress Dowager Yuan was not lightly ill, not to mention staying, even when she was awake, she couldn't say much, all the imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital, except for a few imperial doctors who were fixed in the Xuanwen Hall every day to watch Rong Yan, the others were guarding the Zhangde Hall day and night, the emperor's situation is unknown now, and the Empress Dowager Yuan is so sick that everyone in the palace and outside the palace is in danger.
Everyone knows that the Empress Dowager Yuan's illness this time is inseparable from the princess regent, but no one dares to associate her name with the illness of the Empress Dowager Yuan, and everyone consciously keeps silent as if they don't know anything.
After coming out of the palace that day, Lou Yueqing never went out of the door of the palace again, staying in the palace every day, Rong Zhi was tired of watching and playing chess together when he was free, and when Rong Zhi was not there, he drew and practiced calligraphy, and taught Ling'er, anyway, Li Kui was in charge of the affairs of the house, and he didn't need to ask her, and the life was also comfortable.
And on this comfortable day, Duanmu Hanxi said goodbye without saying goodbye.
I only asked Huirao to send a letter with a sentence on it: Take care of yourself, don't worry about it, wait for me to come back!
There are no superfluous and redundant words, short and clear, which is Duanmu Hanxi's consistent handwriting.
Hui Rao said: "The Holy Venerable asked his subordinates to tell the master that in addition to doing some personal things when she left this time, she was to find a way to relieve His Royal Highness the Regent's heart poison, and she would come back in about two or three months, so you don't have to worry, wait for her to come back!"
Lou Yueqing naturally knew that the last time she went, Duanmu Hanxi told her, but she was just ......
Twisting her eyebrows and pondering for a moment, she hurriedly looked at Hui Rao and said: "You send a message to Chi Shao, let her be careful when she follows the master, if the master intends to go to Qianxi Island, you must immediately send the news back and tell me, don't let the master go alone!"
Hui Rao was stunned: "The master plans to go to Qianxi Island?"
Lou Yueqing nodded, and said in a deep voice: "I must go to it, I don't know how the matter of Rong Zhi sending someone to find the mother Gu is going, and I don't know if I can find it, I can't sit still, I have to go to Linghu, and the master's martial arts are not as good as before, the Hua family of Qianxi Island is difficult to figure out, the master was injured by the Hua family twice, I can't let her go on an adventure alone!"
Since the resumption of martial arts last month, she also planned to pass this year, so she tried to hide from Rong Zhi to go to Qianxi Island, anyway, nothing will happen to her martial arts, no matter what, she has to ask the Hua family for Linghu, although he is full of confidence that he will definitely find the mother Gu and will definitely detoxify, but she can't rest assured, naturally she has to make all preparations, since Duanmu Huxi is going, let's go together to avoid Duanmu Huxi from having an accident, she also wants to know what grievances there are between Duanmu Huxi and the Hua family, what has been hiding from her......
When Huirao heard this, she immediately received the order: "Master rest assured, his subordinates will definitely inform Chi Shao!"
Lou Yueqing hummed thoughtfully, relieved a lot, but she didn't know why, she always had an ominous premonition, Duanmu ......
It was as if something was going to happen......
A few days passed like this in a blink of an eye, and December 16 was her birthday.
Early in the morning, when Lou Yueqing woke up, Rong Zhi, who was no longer by her side in the past, was lying next to her unusually, holding her tightly with his hands.
Seeing her wake up, he smiled: "The princess is awake?"
Lou Yueqing was stunned for a moment, looked at him in confusion, and asked sleepily, "Why are you still here?"
In the past, when she woke up, it was already cold next to the bed, and he got up early because he wanted to go to court, but she got up late, so when she woke up every morning, he was probably already in the palace.
Rong Zhi thought about it with his head on his head, and said, "Well, it's probably time!"
Xu is used to it, he used to go to court every day, so he would open his eyes on time every day, no matter how tired he was, he couldn't change this habit, so he woke up at dawn.
But she slept very deeply, and he didn't want to get up or wake her up, so he kept holding her like this.
Almost two hours passed.
Lou Yueqing was even more strange: "Then why don't you go to court today?"
His Royal Highness the Regent thought for a moment and replied, "Hugh Mu!"
The corners of Lou Yueqing's mouth twitched, it's strange to believe him!
As far as she knows, the court officials have a day off every five days, which is called the rest of the day, but since the regency of this house, except for the days when he does not go to the court or the person is not in the capital, he has to go to the court every day, so this day is equivalent to being abolished, as long as it is okay, everyone should not want to be lazy, and he is terrible in government, and it is also because he manages the government day and night without moderation, so that the national strength of Chu State recovers so quickly, so, what is the rest of the day...... To hell with it!
Glancing at him, she asked, "What kind of moth do you want to do?"
Rong Zhi was speechless, what kind of moth is he doing? When did he do something?
Anyway, there is nothing big in the court now, and it is better to sleep with her in the Xuanzheng Hall than to listen to those people in the Xuanzheng Palace, not to mention, today is a big day, and he naturally wants to accompany her.
glanced at her helplessly, and said, "Get up when you wake up, wait a minute, and take you somewhere later!"
"Where?"
He sold Guanzi: "You'll know when you go!"
Lou Yueqing: "......" Okay!
However, when Lou Yueqing went downstairs, she was messy when she looked at the snow outside.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but today is her birthday, but it is snowing heavily, the biggest snow since the beginning of winter, so it is also very cold.
Rubbing her hands, Lou Yueqing wrinkled her eyebrows and looked at Rong Zhi: "Are you sure you want to go out?" Although compared to the north, this is only a light snow, but this is the biggest snow since Chu Jing entered winter, and she has no plans to go out today.
He nodded, "Hmm!"
He doesn't feel cold, if she is cold, he can help her warm up!
So, do you have to go out?
Lou Yueqing is very afraid of the cold, but she doesn't pay attention to the cold outside, when she has a cold poison attack, it is a hundred times colder than this winter, and the whole body that is directly tortured by the cold poison is stiff and unconscious, so she doesn't have much of this chill in the unexpected face.
It's just that Rong Zhi deliberately accompanied her today......
After eating breakfast and putting on a thick dress to keep out the cold, Lou Yueqing followed Rong Zhi out.
Rong Zhi took her out of the West City Gate, and the carriage walked for a long time and stopped in front of a garden gate that looked extremely solemn and tall.
After Lou Yueqing got off the carriage, she looked up at the plaque in front of the garden, on which the dragon flew and the phoenix danced with two big characters - Plum Garden!
Although I didn't see plum blossoms, I could faintly smell the faint fragrance of plum blossoms wafting in the air.
After Lou Yueqing was surprised, she smiled lightly and said, "Plum Garden, I didn't know that Chu Jing had such a place......
She was indeed surprised, she had been in Chujing for so long, and she didn't know that there was such a place outside the West City Gate, and looking at the guards in front of this gate, she knew that this was not an ordinary courtyard, but a royal garden.
Rong Zhi explained: "This is the royal palace built nearly 100 years ago, which is planted with a large number of plum blossoms, and has always been a good place for royal people to enjoy plum blossoms in winter.
When Lou Yueqing heard this, her expression paused slightly, and then she nodded clearly: "I see!"
Holding her hand, Rong Zhi said softly: "Let's go, go in and take a look, you will definitely like it!"
Lou Yueqing nodded, followed him up the stairs in front of the door, and walked inside.
This garden really lives up to the name of the plum garden, at a glance, the plum blossoms are all over the garden, just glance at it, you can see that the plum blossoms in the garden are dazzling, in addition to the usual red plum and white plum, there are plain white and clean jade butterfly plums, flowers such as jasper calyx such as jade green calyx plum, red face and light makeup of the palace pink plum, thick and bright as ink plum, branches coiled, overbearing dragon plum and so on, are rare varieties that are hard to find, a piece of colorful, beautiful.
In addition, although this garden is called the Plum Garden, it is full of exquisite attics and pavilions, and there is a mountain surrounded by plum blossoms, and from a distance, there are several buildings and pavilions standing on the mountainside and on the top of the mountain......
A great place indeed!
Because it was snowing, although the snow was not heavy, it was very inappropriate to fall on Lou Yueqing's body and dissolve into her hair and dress, so Rong Zhi held an oil-paper umbrella and walked beside Lou Yueqing to block the snow that fell on her.
Lou Yueqing looked at the plum blossoms on both sides of the path, and lost her mind for a while.
She likes plum blossoms the most, among the countless flowers in the world, only plum blossoms are her favorite, in the palace of Beili, the most growing plum blossoms, her mother loved plum blossoms the most during her lifetime, so, whether it is the palace of Runan or the palace, Xiao Zhenglin ordered people to plant a large number of plum blossoms, especially the palace of eternal life where she lived when she was the queen, but also planted a large area of plum blossoms in sight, every winter plum blossom season, are beautiful.
She likes plum blossoms, it used to be because Jing Fei liked it, so she liked everything related to Jing Fei, but now, she likes its noble loyalty, strong and elegant, the so-called plum blossom fragrance comes from the bitter cold, how can she not love it?
After a long time, after coming back to her senses, she pressed Rong Zhi and asked, "Why did you bring me here?"
Rong Zhi smiled lightly: "Where did you come from so much, I just think you will like it here, so I will take you to take a look!"
He actually never came to this place, when he came back from Beili, his father felt ashamed of him, so not only built a palace for him, but also gave him this royal palace in the western suburbs of the city, but he has not been here for so many years, and he has not been careful, Li Kui let people be stationed and cleaned, he almost forgot that there is such a place, but a few days ago he pondered how to be good on her birthday, and accidentally learned that she likes plum blossoms, he asked Li Kui to remember that there is such a place.
Now it seems that she really likes it.
When Lou Yueqing heard this, she was puzzled: "I never told you that I like plum blossoms, how do you know that I will like plum blossoms here?"
She remembered very well that she had never mentioned to him that she liked plum blossoms, and she had never worn clothes and jewelry related to plum blossoms before or after, how could he know......
He pondered for a moment and said, "Lone saw that you had painted a lot of plum blossoms, and asked Mo Li, what she said!"
Lou Yueqing knew it, but she forgot that although she didn't show that she liked plum blossoms in terms of dressing preferences, she liked to paint plum blossoms very much.
This is a habit, when she began to learn to paint when she was young, she either copied the portrait of her mother painted by her father, or painted the plum blossoms in the garden, and this habit has continued to this day, and every time she paints, she subconsciously paints these two paintings.
These days, I am painting and practicing calligraphy in the house, and I really want to paint a few plum blossoms.
Stretched out his hand and pulled a plum blossom and put it on the tip of his nose to sniff lightly, Lou Yueqing's eyebrows and eyes were bent, and there was a smile in her eyes, and she said: "I like plum blossoms very much, when I was a child, it was because there was a person who liked it very much, maybe it was because of the love of the house and the black bar, but now, I like it because of the strength and nobility of plum blossoms, proudly blooming in the ice and snow, not afraid of the cold, not everyone can do it!"
When she sees plum blossoms, she thinks of herself and everything she has endured.
Hearing this, Rong Zhi was stunned, looked at her side face, and couldn't help but think of everything she had endured, thinking about it carefully, in fact, it is not strange that she likes plum blossoms, because she is a proud bloom that is not afraid of all the cold plums, no matter how many hardships she has gone through, she has never been timid, and she has never accepted her fate.
After looking at her for a moment, he suddenly said slowly: "If you like it, can I give it to you here?"
When Lou Yueqing heard this, she was stunned for a moment, let go of the plum blossom branch in her hand, turned her head to look at him, and did not speak quietly, her expression was difficult to distinguish.
Looking at her complicated and indistinguishable look, Rong Zhi raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong?
He thought about it for a long time, and didn't know what to give her, because she was different from the woman next to her, and she had never paid attention to those jewelry and treasures, and he didn't know much about women's thoughts.
Lou Yueqing shook her head, she liked it very much, but she ......
Twisting her eyebrows and thinking about it, she looked at him and asked softly, "Rong Zhi, do you already know that today is my birthday?"
Rong Zhi was silent for a moment, and nodded calmly: "I know!"
Lou Yueqing was stunned and looked at him sneeringly: "So, you also know those things?"
He nodded: "Yes!"
Lou Yueqing was silent.
However, she didn't feel surprised, Rong Zhi knew that it was something she expected, the last time the Beili envoy arrived, there were so many coincidences, and she and her second brother met several times during this time without deliberately letting people hide from him, if he didn't realize it at all, it would be unexpected.
Although he never mentioned anything, how could a person as smart as him not suspect anything, he just didn't tell her.
Now it seems that he knows everything.
She smiled and asked, "When did you start to get suspicious?"
Rong Zhi pondered for a moment and replied: "The first time I saw you in the Ningguo Mansion, Lone felt very familiar, and inexplicably remembered what happened in Beili twelve years ago, and felt that I thought too much at that time, when the Beili envoy came, although I don't know why someone is so like you, but I was already suspicious, so I let Mingshu go to Beili, before we got married, Mingshu came back, and I knew everything!"
He felt inexplicable at the time, why he couldn't help but think of the past in Beili twelve years ago when he saw her, and felt that he must have been cranky, but more than that, several times he remembered the previous things in the process of getting along with her, which had never been seen for so many years, but at that time, he couldn't have imagined that it would be such a coincidence, he didn't expect God to treat him so well this time, and when he was sure that she was the little girl, he was really happy.
Lou Yueqing was puzzled and asked: "Then why didn't you ask me at that time?" In fact, he could ask directly, thinking that she would not hide it from him at that time, although she didn't want to mention it, but she wouldn't deliberately hide it, otherwise she wouldn't have met with the second brother frequently during this time, there were people sent by him by her side, and he knew what she did.
He sighed and said, "Lone has asked you about your past a few times before, but you have never been willing to mention it, so I know that you are very concerned about these things, and this is not a happy thing, since Lone already knows about it, wouldn't asking you again reveal your scars and increase your pain?"
Her past, mixed with too much pain, so many years, she has endured too much torture, he doesn't want her to remember, and he doesn't want her to feel uncomfortable for this, when he didn't know before, he asked many times, although she never wanted to tell him, but when she remembered the look on her face at that time, she knew that although she didn't say anything at that time, but his inquiry reminded her of those things, and she felt very uncomfortable.
Now that he knows everything, there is naturally no need to do more.
Hearing this, Lou Yueqing looked stunned, then the corners of her mouth curved, stepped forward, stretched out her hand to wrap her arms around his waist, her face was against his chest, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and she closed her eyes slightly and whispered: "Rong Zhi, thank you......"
Thank you for showing up in her life so that she will never be alone for the rest of her life, thank you for understanding her mind so much, caring for her, thank you for the gift he gave her, it's just that this is the best birthday gift she has received in years......
For so many years, she has never been happy every year today, but today, she is very happy.
His eyebrows softened, he raised his left hand to caress her cheek, and sighed, "Fool ......"
At the same time, the palace in the Zhangde Palace.
The Empress Dowager Yuan has been very sick these days, and she can hardly get out of bed, several imperial doctors take turns guarding the Zhangde Hall for the Empress Dowager Yuan's diagnosis and treatment, Lou Qiqi and Xue Xianfei also take turns to take care of them, and after a few days, they are finally better.
Yuan Shaoyan and Yuan Jing'er brothers and sisters also entered the palace every day to visit, the first few days the Empress Dowager was unconscious, today Yuan Shaoyan entered the palace, I don't know what medicine to bring to the Empress Dowager Yuan, the Empress Dowager Yuan is a lot better.
However, he was still sick, and he could only sit on the bed and lean on the soft pillow.
This time, she was very angry.
was still sick in the first place, Lou Yueqing added fuel to the fire so much that half of her life was gone, and now thinking back to what Lou Yueqing did that day, she was angry and her teeth trembled.
After drinking the medicine and retreating left and right, the Empress Dowager Yuan looked at Yuan Shaoyan on the side of the bed, and said: "Kill Lou Yueqing!"
Gritting his teeth, he was weak, but the seeds of hatred burst out in his eyes.
No one has ever humiliated her like this, and even embarrassed her again and again!
Yuan Shaoyan frowned, and said lightly: "Queen Mother, don't think about this first, you are weak now, it is important to take care of your body, and the rest will wait until you get better!"
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Yuan's face became more and more ugly, her hand tightly tugged at the corner of the quilt, glared at Yuan Shaoyan fiercely, gritted her teeth and said: "The mourning family can't wait, Lou Yueqing must die, even if it costs anything, she must be killed!"
In the past, she was very patient, and she hated a person, as long as it was not time to get rid of that person, she was patient and waiting, not afraid to spend time waiting for the right time, just like Rong Zhi, she dreamed of getting rid of him, but back then she knew that if she killed Rong Zhi rashly, the emperor would never let her go, so she just took a Gu, with a period of twenty years, just to achieve the goal, this time, Lou Yueqing's actions have made her unbearable, even at the cost of all her hard work, she will definitely break Lou Yueqing's body into pieces!
Yuan Shaoyan looked at the appearance of the Empress Dowager Yuan, as long as he whispered: "My nephew understands, I will find a way to get rid of her, the Empress Dowager can rest assured!"
Hearing this, the Empress Dowager Yuan was in a trance for a while, her pale face was a little hesitant, and she asked, "Really, aren't you lying to the mourners?"
Yuan Shaoyan nodded and said, "Don't worry, the queen mother, my nephew won't lie to you!"
The Empress Dowager Yuan was slightly relieved at this time, leaning on the soft pillow and panting constantly.
She was so sick now, and the few words she just said had already consumed the only bit of strength in her body.
Yuan Shaoyan looked at the weak appearance of the Empress Dowager Yuan, frowned, and said lightly: "The Empress Dowager don't talk first, rest well, get better as soon as possible, my father is now ordered by the regent to think about it behind closed doors and not to come to see you, let the nephew convey his words, the Yuan family can't live without you!"
I don't know what happened to Rong Zhi, although he was extremely resentful of the Yuan family in the past, he had been unable to deal with the Yuan family, and even sometimes turned a blind eye, so the Yuan family has been standing in the court all these years, but recently, Rong Zhi began to target the Yuan family, not only suppressing the Yuan family's henchmen, but now his father has been ordered to think about it behind closed doors, and now everyone is speculating that the Yuan family is going to fall......
Now that the time has not come, the Yuan family can't make an accident at this juncture, and they can't lose power, otherwise, it will be useless to their plan.
Now the emperor is controlled by Rong Zhi in the Xuanwen Palace, the Empress Dowager Yuan fell ill, his father was repeatedly suppressed, and now he can't even get out of the house.
Hearing this, Empress Dowager Yuan was stunned and nodded, she knew.
Yuan Ji can be modest, and he can't support the Yuan family at all, for so many years, if she hadn't made suggestions, the Yuan family would have declined long ago even if it didn't die, and the sons of the Yuan family couldn't do it, but fortunately, Yuan Shaoyan had good talents, she focused on training, and the Yuan family had hope, but even if Yuan Shaoyan came back now, she couldn't have an accident.
Yuan Shaoyan waved his hands and said respectfully: "My nephew will retire first, and the queen mother will rest!"
Empress Dowager Yuan just woke up, and she was tired after talking for so long, and she didn't have much energy, so she could only nod her head, she didn't have much strength, so she nodded and let him out.
After walking out of the Empress Dowager Yuan's dormitory, Yuan Shaoyan looked at Yuan Jing'er who was standing under the porch of the palace gate and walked over.
The tone was a lot softer: "What are you doing here?"
Yuan Jing'er was in a trance, but when she heard the sound, she turned her head and saw Yuan Shaoyan, and hurriedly shouted: "Brother!"
Yuan Shaoyan looked at her and asked, "What are you thinking?"
Yuan Jing'er hurriedly shook her head, and said with a stiff face: "No...... Nothing!"
Looking at her line of sight just now, it was the direction of the Xuanzheng Palace......
He frowned and said lightly: "The regent is not in the palace today, you don't have to think about it!"
When Yuan Jing'er heard this, she was a little confused: "Why?"
Yuan Shaoyan said lightly: "The regent took the regent out of the city early in the morning, and he didn't go to the court!"
Yuan Jing'er's face suddenly became ugly.
Yuan Shaoyan frowned and looked at Yuan Jing'er and said lightly: "Jing'er, my brother told you, don't think about him anymore, it's impossible for you to be with him, no matter what infatuation you have in your heart, it's best to forget about it!"
What he loves the most is this sister, these things of the Yuan family, he has never thought of letting Yuan Jing'er know, and he doesn't want her to get involved, but he can't let her be willful, and the grievances between Rong Zhi and the Yuan family can never be resolved.
Rong Zhi will not let go of the Yuan family, it is sooner or later to get rid of the Yuan family, and the Yuan family will not let go of Rong Zhi, Rong Zhi's existence is a stumbling block to the Yuan family's great achievements, so no matter how much Rong Zhi likes Rong Zhi, even if Rong Zhi agrees to marry her, he will not agree to let Yuan Jing'er marry him.
He only has one sister, for the sake of the family, he is willing to do anything, and he doesn't care if he goes to Beili to lie dormant and suffer humiliation, but he can't let Yuan Jing'er have an accident.
Hearing this, Yuan Jing'er's face turned pale, and she bit her lip and whispered: "Brother, don't say it, I know everything!"
Even if Yuan Shaoyan agrees, she has no chance, Rong Zhi cares about Lou Yueqing so much, her obsession has become an extravagant hope.
Yuan Shaoyan said with confidence: "It's good that you know, I'm going to leave Chujing in a few days to do something, now my aunt is sick like this, and my father is also suppressed by this, you try not to go out, so as not to have an accident!"
Hearing this, Yuan Jing'er was a little surprised: "Brother is leaving, where are you going?"
Why is it so sudden......
Yuan Shaoyan only said: "Go and do an important thing!"
As for what to do, the stakes are very high, and it is naturally impossible for him to let him know.
Yuan Jing'er frowned.
Yuan Shaoyan didn't want to say more, and said warmly: "Okay, it's not early, let's get out of the palace!"
"Hmm!"
Lou Yueqing found that many of the twists and turns on Rong Zhi's desk recently were the impeachment of the Yuan family and the impeachment of Prime Minister Yuan......
Looking at Rong Zhi, who was reviewing the folds, Lou Yueqing asked, "Do you really plan to get rid of the Yuan family?"
Since getting married, she has been helping him sort out the folds, and when she sorts them out, she will take a general look, and she also knows the movements of the court, and she has recently impeached Prime Minister Yuan, what conniving at relatives and relatives to oppress the people and accept bribes, covering up subordinates to fill their own pockets, etc......
In fact, these things have always existed, the Yuan family has been in the Chu State for nearly a hundred years, there are a lot of relatives and relatives, and there are many problems, but the monarchs of the Chu State in the past dynasties have favored the Yuan family, and the Yuan family has always been extremely loyal, plus the Yuan family is a civil servant, and it will not threaten the royal family at all, so these things are harmless, and Rong Zhi has not paid attention to it in recent years, so the cronies of the Yuan family have become more and more bold, and there have been a lot of problems.
Rong Zhi nodded: "The Yuan family can't stay any longer!"
In the past, they were allowed to jump because of the existence of Rong Yan, and also remembered that his mother was born in the Yuan family, but now, there is no need to keep them.
When Lou Yueqing heard this, she nodded, but she remembered something, and said with a frown: "But the Yuan family has been in the court for nearly a hundred years, and there have been several prime ministers, and there are many party henchmen, not only many cronies in the court, but also many officials from all over the country who were raised by the Yuan family, once the Yuan family is moved, I am afraid that it will cause some turmoil!"
She heard that when the first emperor was in power, the Yuan family was powerful, most of the officials in the court were cronies of the Yuan family, and many officials from all over the country were related to the Yuan family, the Yuan family has become what it is now.
But even if the Yuan family is far less than it was back then, if it is rashly removed, it may cause turmoil.
Rong Zhi disagreed, closed the fold in his hand and put it aside, then looked at her and said: "Sooner or later, it will be eliminated, if it weren't for the emperor, the people of the Yuan family are now a pile of bones, there is a lesson from the past, those people can't make any big trouble, if they dare to make trouble, they don't mind the blood flowing into a river!"
He has eliminated countless court officials over the years, and he ordered the bloody cleansing of several major princes overnight, and those people still remember it clearly, he has always only known that if he wants peace, bloodshed is inevitable.
Lou Yueqing nodded: "Since you have decided, then go for it, but ......"
"But what?"
She wrinkled her eyebrows and said, "The Yuan family is not simple, do you know?"
When Rong Zhi heard this, he was silent, and then nodded and said, "I know!"
The Yuan family was originally a descendant of the Yuan Dynasty of the previous dynasty, and was attached to the Chu State for nearly a hundred years, and it was originally for the so-called great cause of recovering the country, so for so many years, he has been enveloping the courtiers to cultivate his own power, secretly recruiting troops and horses, and the mysterious Qiang people, who are the backing of the Yuan family, as far as he knows, there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under the Yuan family, and if they don't get rid of the Yuan family, they will be unfavorable to the Chu State sooner or later.
He knew all this, if it weren't for Rong Yan's reasons, if it wasn't for his mother's concubine from the Yuan family, the Yuan family secretly planned such a thing, he would have ordered the Nine Clans to be punished a long time ago!
Lou Yueqing smiled: "Since you know, presumably you are also prepared for all the consequences, if you do it to the Yuan family, the Yuan family will definitely not let you slaughter, and it is certain to cause turmoil at that time, but it is good to get rid of it, and it will save you trouble in the future!"
Rong Zhi nodded, was silent for a moment, he pulled her to sit next to him, looked at her and said, "Actually, there is one more thing that Gu hasn't told you yet!"
Lou Yueqing raised her eyebrows, waiting for him to speak.
"Do you remember the case in Lizhou Qingyuan a few months ago?"
Lou Yueqing thought about it for a while, pulled out this matter from her mind, and nodded: "Naturally, you sent someone to investigate that case, but then it was over, why do you have clues?"
She almost forgot about this matter, a few months ago in the case of Qingyuan in Lizhou, dozens of women disappeared one after another, and later the bodies were found in the barracks, causing riots among the people, the matter was not small, Rong Zhi had to deal with it personally, and then Dongyou envoys arrived in Beijing, Rong Zhi came back, and the matter was not solved by sending someone to investigate, only claiming that it was the so-called Liukou, just to provoke the people to rebel against the court, but this matter is not so simple at all, but Rong Zhi suddenly did not investigate, and Lou Yueqing ignored it.
Now he brings up what to do......
Rong Zhi said in a deep voice: "Actually, this matter has long been investigated, at that time, I sent someone to investigate, peeled off the cocoon, checked layer by layer, and took over the investigation to the Beili royal family!"
"What?" How could this matter have anything to do with the Beili royal family?
Rong Zhi explained: "When the lonely people were tracking down at that time, they accidentally found a brand, and the totem on it was the unique pattern of the Beili royal secret guard, and the token belonged to the Princess Changle Mansion!"
Lou Yueqing heard a rough idea, the one who killed those women at that time was Princess Changle's secret guard, just because the two countries were involved, and he didn't know who she was at the time, because of those things when he was young, he was still a little sympathetic to Princess Changle, so he suppressed the matter.
And this matter, in fact, was planned behind the scenes...... Yuan Shaoyan!
Yuan Shaoyan is Princess Changle's sweetheart, and those things between the two are not secrets, so it is normal to send people to protect Yuan Shaoyan, she also remembered that not long after the matter of Lizhou, she encountered an assassination outside the city, and at this moment it was also the secret guard of the Beili royal family, the secret guard of Princess Changle's mansion, so at that time, Yuan Shaoyan planned the matter of Lizhou, lured Rong Zhi out, and sent someone to assassinate her, and the people who used Princess Changle were killed, if they killed her, it would be okay, even if they couldn't kill her, the matter would not involve him if it was big, but Beili……
Nodding clearly, she muttered: "You always thought that person was me, so when you found out here, you ended this matter, I was afraid that it would involve me and the relationship between the two countries, and I was even more afraid that it would make it difficult for the emperor to be involved in the Yuan family, so let people don't check it anymore, but now you don't have to worry about the emperor, let alone me, Beili's side doesn't matter, so this matter must also be sent to investigate, once it is found out, it will be a big crime of the Yuan family......"
Although this matter is not as serious as treason, but once it is confirmed that it was done by the Yuan family, it can already be exiled by the Menju clan who copied the Yuan family, Rong Zhi now wants to get rid of the Yuan family, but the strength accumulated by the Yuan family for several generations is rash to cause turmoil, Rong Zhi wants to simplify the matter, only by destroying the Yuan family in an open and honest way, can the turmoil be avoided as much as possible, so it has been made people collect evidence of the Yuan family's crimes, the matter of the descendants of the former dynasty cannot be made public, and the matter of seizing the throne with Rong Yan cannot be made public, so he can only find other crimes, but although the Yuan family was in power in the past, it was enough to destroy the clan and did not commit a few major crimes, and this matterIt's a great sin!
At that time, not only dozens of women died, but also many innocent people and soldiers died in the riots, adding up to hundreds of lives, all of which were the debts of the Yuan family!
It's just that......
Lou Yueqing suddenly wrinkled her eyebrows and looked at Rong Zhi: "The purpose of you telling me about this matter is to tell me that this matter will be investigated and Beili will be involved?"
Rong Zhi nodded, if it weren't for this, he wouldn't have said these things to bother her.
No matter what she said, she is also Beili's person, this matter has nothing to do with her, it really doesn't matter, but it has a lot to do with it, if you check it out, it involves Beili, and I don't know what will happen at that time, he thought about it, and still has to tell her.
She was silent, then pulled the corners of her mouth and said with a light smile: "Don't worry about me, these things have nothing to do with me!"
Rong Zhi frowned, "worry-free ......"
Although he said so, he couldn't help but scruple, she cared so much about the things before, and she also had feelings for Beili that she couldn't give up, once the riot was related to Beili, the relationship between the two countries was even worse, and she was in the middle, and she was also embarrassed.
Lou Yueqing interrupted him and said softly: "Moreover, if you are worried about me, there is a way, this matter is done by Yuan Shaoyan anyway, just put it on his head directly, you don't have to get involved with Beili, it will also be very troublesome!"
There will indeed be trouble.
Thirteen years ago, there was a big war between Beili and Chu, which was the war that finally led to Rong Zhi being sent to be a proton, and the reason why the two countries fought was very simple, just a human life!
At that time, the daughter of Cao Tai, the guard of the Beili border, met Luo Cheng, the guard general of the Chu State stationed on the northern border, by chance, on the border between the two countries, Luo Cheng was a womanizer, fell in love with this girl, thought she was the daughter of ordinary people, took her captive, and raped her regardless of her will, the Miss Cao committed suicide in shame, and General Cao was extremely angry when he learned about this, so he directly killed Luo Cheng, which directly caused the two countries to fight.
Before Princess Changle came to Chu, the two countries already had a disagreement, if they broke out again at this time, a total of hundreds of lives of grievances, the result can be imagined.
It is very likely to cause war.
Rong Zhi was afraid that she would be embarrassed, so he told her and asked her what she meant.
After all, she was born in the country of Li, grew up in the state of Chu, has feelings for the country of Li, and is also extremely concerned about the state of Chu, and the two countries are the last thing she wants to see.
Hearing this, Rong Zhi was stunned for a moment, then squinted his eyes, and said with a light smile: "It's not impossible for you to do this!"
He didn't think of this for a while, he was just worried about the impact of this matter on her, and he didn't think about directly removing the relationship with her.
Lou Yueqing: "Then let's do it, otherwise something will really happen, don't say that I will really be embarrassed, I don't like war!"
No matter what the reason, she doesn't want a war, it's not that she favors the people and soldiers of any country, she has been a family for so many years, for her, there is actually no difference between the people of the four countries, and she is involved with several countries, if it really causes war, it is difficult for her to stay out of it.
Rong Zhi nodded: "Well, let Xue Zhen deal with it tomorrow!"
nodded, looking at the sky outside It was not early, Lou Yueqing was going to the Plum Garden today, and now she was tired, so she stood up and said, "Then you are busy first, I'll go rest!"
Hearing this, he had already stood up and grabbed her, put his arms around her waist, and whispered in her ear: "Sleep together!"
He's sleepy too!
Lou Yueqing's face darkened......
However......
After a cup of tea......
Rong Zhi looked at the woman who was tightly clutching her lower abdomen under her, her face was pale and curled up in a ball, and then looked at the blood stains under her......
My heart sank......
