860 Temptation
Lingyue strode up to her, used her internal strength to ease her breath, and said urgently: "Madam, I'll go and ask Imperial Doctor Ji to come over." ”
“… No... I, I'm fine. ”
Feng Qiao coughed low and gasped.
When facing Dong Nian just now, he had to force each other with words and momentum.
Although Dong Nianzhi is a military general, he is far less intelligent than Li Fengqian and Xiao Minyuan, but he is not a stupid person.
It is not easy to deceive him and make him waver towards Xiao Minyuan, every word and every action between them cannot be missed, so even if it is uncomfortable, she must hold on and not show cowardice.
Dong Nian left, and as soon as this anger was released, his body suddenly became noisy.
Feng Qiao was helped by Lingyue to lean on the pillow, and it took a long time to ease up.
Lingyue took the hot-water soaked handkerchief over, wiped off the fat powder between Feng Qiao's eyebrows and eyes, and said in a low voice: "Madam, you deliberately imitated the Eighth Prince, so that Dong Nianzhi was suspicious of the relationship between you, and even implied that Emperor Yongzhen's trapping of you was related to the matter of the first emperor, will he believe it?"
Feng Qiao's appearance is actually not very similar to Xiao Yuanzhu, they are only similar to their eyebrows.
The two have different temperaments, and when they are listed separately, unless they are extremely familiar people, or people who have seen Xiao Yunsu's appearance, it is difficult to associate the two together.
Otherwise, after so many years, Xiao Minyuan and them met her, and it would be impossible not to detect the abnormality.
Feng Qiao deliberately put on makeup, rendering the sick and weak color more heavily, and even deliberately imitated the dress and description, which made Dong Nianzhi almost recognize her as Xiao Yuanzhu when he saw her side face.
After Feng Qiao's face was scrubbed, the sickly look on her face became much less, and she dipped her hand in the hot water and said, "Why don't you believe it? Which sentence I said to him is not true?"
The matter of the Liu family was originally caused by Xiao Minyuan, and Liu Huiru's child was his hand and foot, and Liu Chi was also imprisoned and died violently because he provoked Liu Zheng.
The Liu family fell into today's predicament because of him, and he used the matter of the Liu family to calculate Dong Nianzhi, so that he was dead set on the eldest prince, and then recruited him as a virtuous monarch.
Which one of these piles was not done by Xiao Minyuan?
There are indeed them among them, and Xiao Minyuan also attacked the Liu family because of their cooperation, but outsiders don't know this, at least in Dong Nianzhi's place, Xiao Minyuan will never let him know about the transaction he has made with them.
Dong Nianzhi will only know that after the fall of the eldest prince, it is Xiao Minyuan who has benefited the most, and Liu Zheng, who once helped the eldest prince, is now locked up in prison, and he does not know whether he is alive or dead.
When life is at stake, you can be suspicious.
What Feng Qiao wanted was Dong Nianzhi's suspicions.
As long as there is suspicion, she has the means to expand this suspicion infinitely, until he can no longer trust Xiao Minyuan, and is even more unwilling to risk sending her back to Xiao Minyuan, so that Emperor Yongzhen will be angry and let him be Xiao Minyuan's stepping stone.
"Then what else does the slave need to do over there...... Lingyue asked.
"No, Dong Nianzhi will find the answer he wants by himself. ”
……
At night, Dong Nianzhi lay on the bed tossing and turning, and when he closed his eyes, his ears were full of Feng Qiao's voice.
He knew that he shouldn't be so easily shaken, and he shouldn't be suspicious of Xiao Minyuan because of a woman's words, but he couldn't suppress the tumbling thoughts in his heart.
The previous seemingly coincidental things appeared in front of me one by one, from the initial courtship of King Xiang to him, to the later acquaintance with him, and then to the marriage between the eldest prince and the Liu family...... He had never thought about it before, but when he thought about everything before, he found that almost everything could be artificial.
Whether it is the defeat of the Liu family, Liu Zheng forcing Liu Chi to death, the Dong family and the eldest prince centrifuge, or he ......
In the middle of everything, it seems that a pair of hands are secretly stirring, pushing him to break with the eldest prince, pushing him to have to get closer to King Xiang to seek a way back for himself and the Dong family.
The more Dong Nianzhi thought about it, the more panicked he became, he slammed the bed board and sat up, and was stunned for a while before walking out in his coat.
The heavy rain in the mountains had stopped, and it was dark all around, except for the light of the torches in the hands of the guards.
Dong Nianzhi looked around, and saw that almost all the inside and outside of the imperial village were guards, and along the way, he also faintly noticed that there were still many people hiding in the shadows, almost guarding the main courtyard where Feng Qiao was located.
He was even more uneasy in his heart, and involuntarily went to the main courtyard, who would have thought that he had seen Chen An outside.
Chen An stood outside the arch with a lantern in his hand, and was startled when he saw Dong Nianzhi, and said in a low voice: "General Dong?"
Dong Nianzhi frowned: "Gonggong Chen, it's so late, you haven't rested?"
"The miscellaneous family can't sleep. Chen An sighed, and then looked at Dong Nianzhi again, "General Dong, you came all the way from Beijing, why didn't you rest?"
Dong Nianzhi shook his head: "I can't sleep either." ”
The two looked at each other speechlessly.
After a while, the two walked out of the main courtyard together, and Dong Nianzhi suddenly spoke: "Father-in-law Chen, I don't know anything and want to ask my father-in-law for advice." ”
Chen An was puzzled: "What's the matter?"
"Why does Gonggong Chen take such good care of Feng Qiao?"
Chen An paused at his feet: "Why else, naturally His Majesty values Zhenyuan Hou and Lord Feng, and Mrs. Liao is the wife and daughter of the two of them, so the miscellaneous family naturally has to take care of it more, otherwise if something happens to her, how can the Zhenyuan Marquis and them give up, and the miscellaneous family will naturally not be able to afford it." ”
Dong Nianzhi stopped when he heard this, and looked at him: "Just because of this?"
Chen An smiled: "Of course it is, otherwise what else can it be for." ”
Dong Nianzhi spoke: "I thought my father-in-law knew her relationship with the first emperor, so he would be like this..."
"What did you say?"
Chen An's face changed slightly, the smile on his face couldn't hold back, he looked up at Dong Nianzhi and said: "General Dong, don't talk nonsense, what is the first emperor is not the first emperor, Mrs. Liao is the daughter of Lord Feng, how can it be related to the first emperor?"
Dong Nianzhi looked at Chen An's expression, his heart was beating rapidly, but he pretended to be natural and said: "Yes, then why did Your Majesty send her to Anyu, isn't it because of the edict of the first emperor......"
"General Dong!"
After Chen An interrupted Dong Nianzhi's words in a sharp voice, he was afraid of alarming the guards outside, so he forcibly suppressed his voice and said: "You don't want to die?!
Seeing Chen An's fierce reaction, Dong Nianzhi became more and more sure of his previous speculation, and said, "So Feng Qiao is really related to the edict of the first emperor?"
Chen An's face changed instantly: "What are you talking about?"
His face was blue, as if he was so angry, he directly flicked his sleeves and said angrily: "It's late at night, General Dong should go back and rest early, there are still things to do in the miscellaneous family, so let's go first!"
