778 Preparedness
As I saw just now, and Feng Qiao's closeness when he mentioned Liao Chuxiu, I am afraid that Liao Chuxiu has already softened Feng Qizhou, and it is a matter of time before the two families reconcile.
Xiao Minyuan couldn't help but think in his heart, if it was him, would he be able to do this for a woman, being rumored to be afraid of guilt, being said to be fascinated by lust, being laughed at and falling under a woman's pomegranate skirt, such an arrogant person bowing his head to his past enemies for her, and even ignoring his reputation for the future?
He hesitated for a moment, and suddenly a thought came to him.
If that woman was Feng Qiao, he might be willing to do it too......
After Xiao Minyuan's thoughts were revealed, the whole person stiffened violently, and his eyes widened in disbelief.
He shook his mind and took half a step back, looking down at his hands.
When did he start to think that Feng Qiao was so important?
It actually exceeded his desire for a future and was willing to give in for her?!
Liu Xi didn't know what Xiao Minyuan was thinking, but he felt that after he came out of this Liao Mansion, the whole person was a little weird.
Seeing that his face was ugly and silent for a long time, and he didn't know what he thought of, he suddenly looked frightened, Liu Xi hurriedly spoke: "Lord Wang, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Minyuan waved his hand and refused Liu Xi's support, his face was a little gloomy: "It's nothing." ”
Seeing his expression, Liu Xi said in a low voice, "Did Mrs. Liao say something to the prince?"
As soon as his words fell, there was a fierce chill on his body.
Xiao Minyuan looked at him coldly for a while, and only when his scalp was numb did he retract his gaze, and said coldly: "Go back." ”
Liu Xi didn't know where he said the wrong thing, so he aroused Xiao Minyuan's anger, and watched him walk forward directly, Liu Xi hurriedly followed, and said cautiously: "But Lord Wang, what about the Nine Emperors?"
Xiao Minyuan said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about him for the time being, if you can make friends, try to make friends, and don't make a move on him if you can't." ”
Liu Xi couldn't help but speak: "But Your Majesty's attention to the Nine Emperor Princes is getting stronger and stronger, after this court-China sacrifice, the Nine Emperor Princes are afraid that they will be even more in the limelight, if you don't choke him by the throat at this time and press him down, waiting for him to be full-fledged in the future, wouldn't the prince have another strong rival?"
Xiao Minyuan listened to Liu Xi's words, and the words that Feng Qiao had told him before appeared in his ears.
Although he felt that what she said made some sense, but as Feng Qiao said before, he didn't trust her completely, and he could even say that he had always been defensive of her.
Even if Xiao Jinyu's matter is as she said, there is Emperor Yongzhen's calculations, and she wants to use him to balance the balance of the court after Xiao Xianhong's fall, but it is difficult to guarantee whether Xiao Jinyu will have any thoughts after he becomes stronger.
Ambition is something that no one can say.
Who can guarantee that Xiao Jinyu will always be so useless?
Xiao Minyuan rubbed his fingers on the wrench in his hand and said: "They should already know about the fourth child of the big sacrifice, Li Fengqian has always wanted to take this errand for the fourth child before, but now he was cut off by Xiao Jiu, I don't believe they can bear it and not do anything about the big sacrifice." ”
"You let people keep an eye on the Four Princes' Mansion and the Li family's side, and if they make any moves, help them at a critical time. ”
Although he would not personally deal with Xiao Jinyu, lest he seriously attract Feng Qiao's disgust, but it was no problem to help others when they were doing it.
Hearing this, Liu Xi instantly understood what Xiao Minyuan meant, and hurriedly said, "The slave understands." ”
……
……
After Xiao Minyuan left, Lingyue returned to the front yard and saw that Feng Qiao's face had lost its previous leisurely expression.
Seeing her come back, Feng Qiao spoke: "Gone?"
"Let's go, the slave maid took him to the northwest corner, he should have seen the connection between our mansion and Rong Anbo's mansion. ”
Feng Qiao's face was calm, and his fingers tapped on the table one by one.
Lingyue asked in a low voice: "Madam, during this period of time, Emperor Yongzhen has repeatedly summoned the Nine Emperor Princes into the palace, which has already made people pay attention to the Nine Emperor Princes, and I am afraid that after the matter of the Great Sacrifice, he will be completely pushed to the front of the people." ”
"King Xiang's words just now are obviously suspicious of the Nine Emperors, can Madame's words dispel his doubts?"
Feng Qiao spoke: "How can it be so easy. ”
Xiao Minyuan didn't believe her at all, and whether it was compared to the Liu family or the Chen family, Xiao Minyuan's mind was undoubtedly deeper and more suspicious.
Although her words just now can temporarily stop his thoughts about Xiao Jinyu's actions, but they are only temporary, and she wants Xiao Minyuan to completely relieve Xiao Jinyu's doubts, unless Xiao Jinyu is wiped out in front of people from now on, and he will not show his head in the court from now on, otherwise once he gains power, sooner or later he will have to become the target in Xiao Minyuan's eyes.
But if you want to get that position, how can you keep holding back and not showing your head?
If you don't have power, you have no power.
Without power, how could those shrewd people in the DPRK support him.
Although Feng Qizhou and Liao Chuxiu can assist Xiao Jinyu, and the Guo family can also favor him at the right time, if they want to sit on the throne, it is still difficult and unpopular to rely on them alone, and even if they sit in that position, they are not stable.
Lingyue said worriedly: "Then what should we do now, should we send someone to protect the Nine Emperor Princes?"
"Not really. ”
Feng Qiao shook his head: "Xiao Jiu already has someone around him to protect him, even if Xiao Minyuan doesn't fully believe me, he won't attack Xiao Jiu before the eldest prince falls." Now in the court, the eldest prince is the person Xiao Minyuan wants to get rid of the most, and before the eldest prince falls, he will not do anything else. ”
"But we still have to guard against them doing other things, and in addition to Xiao Minyuan, there are also the four princes and Li Fengqi, and those two people are afraid that they can't allow Xiao Jiu to rise in the court. ”
Feng Qiao thought for a while and said to Lingyue: "You find someone to bring a letter to Xiao Jiu, so that he can pay more attention recently, especially the things in hand, and don't let others do it." In the evening, I went to see my father and asked him to talk to Uncle Guo and them, and pay more attention to the preparations for the big festival, so as not to be taken advantage of. ”
"The slave understands. ”
Lingyue was ordered to go down to do things, and Feng Qiao stayed in the courtyard thinking about how to balance Xiao Jinyu's current affairs, so that he could get more help before attracting the attention of Xiao Minyuan and Xiao Yanxu.
After a long time, Feng Qiao leaned back on the chair and flipped through the books in her hands, and suddenly there was a slight sound of footsteps behind her, and then someone covered her eyes with a silk scarf.
"Guess who I am?"
The strange and hoarse voice came to mind in his ears, and Feng Qiao raised his lips and laughed.
"Aren't you busy taking care of your drunken spring breeze, you haven't even been back to the house for several days, why did you suddenly come here to me, the amount of silver is enough?"
