Chapter 21: Lay down the bait
That night, Dongtianji stayed in Lu Wanjuan's Green Cloud Pavilion.
It was late at night, the attendants untied the master's clothes and retreated, and Lu Wanjuan turned off the lights in the room and returned to the bedside.
"Miaoren's father is in Baiyu County?" asked Dong Tianji lying on the bed.
"Exactly. β
"Baiyu County is under the jurisdiction of Qinzhou...... What is the name of this Qinzhou Jie Du Envoy?"
"Meng Jie. β
"Yes, yes, this Meng Jie should be Xue Shijing's person......" Dongtianji muttered to himself.
"Miaoren, does your father have the ambition to be the envoy of this Qinzhou Festival?" Dongtianji was blind and didn't dare to use the person he fancied, for fear that the position would suddenly become vacant and be snatched by Sima Kun.
Lu Wanjuan paused for a moment, and hurriedly knelt down: "The concubine's father is just a small county, how can he ......?"
"Alas, what can Sima Kun's people do, I don't have any other plans, let's do it first, Miao Ren, do you want to take a leave of absence and go home, Chenghuan will arrange it for you," Dong Tianji turned over, closed his eyes and prepared to rest.
"The concubine is the father of the family, thank the emperor for Longen!"
"Miaoren, do you know why I want to help your father?" Lu Wanjuan saw that Dongtianji had not spoken for a long time, thinking that Dongtianji had fallen asleep and was about to go to bed, Dongtianji suddenly asked again.
"Because of Mo Yuxiu," Lu Wanjuan called Mo Chenghuan like this, and there was no sense of alienation, just heartfelt respect.
"You know. Lu Wanjuan is right, but it is not very accurate, he did notice Lu Wanjuan because of Mo Chenghuan, but what he really noticed was because of Lu Wanjuan's cleverness, Mo Chenghuan was right, this Lu Wanjuan is really smart, and it was precisely because of Lu Wanjuan's cleverness that he decided to promote Lu Wanjuan's father.
"But do you know that Cheng Huan left you today, is that he using the entire Mo family's net worth and life to vouch for you?" Dong Tianji admires Lu Wanjuan's intelligence, but also hopes that Lu Wanjuan can know that no matter what glory she gets from herself in the future, it is because of Mo Chenghuan, and he wants Lu Wanjuan to be grateful to Mo Chenghuan.
Lu Wanjuan was frightened by Dongtianji's words and froze in place.
"Don't thank me, thank Cheng Huan!" Dongtian can not do much for Mo Chenghuan, but there is one point.
"The concubine understands. Lu Wanjuan went to bed lightly with a vibrating heart.
A month later, at the end of the month, the year was coming to an end, and the heavy snow fell one after another, and finally the plum blossoms were opened.
He Chong, who went to the three southern provinces to "suppress", also successfully resolved the riot and was on his way back to the dynasty to restore his life.
Sima Kun saw that He Chong had made a great contribution, so he was naturally reluctant, and moved several ministers to join He Chong's book in the court, and the crime was to release grain without permission or other crimes, but Dongtianji didn't care about this, and it was not the country's money that came out, as long as the matter was dealt with, plus Xue Shizhang's fold said, the people were happy, and they called the emperor Shengming and the like, Dongtianji was happy, and the matter was hastily brought over.
In recent days, Xue Shicai has also been diagnosed as pregnant, and it can only be said that she has lived up to Lou Yuyu's efforts during this time.
Mei Xin Yuan
As soon as Xue Shijing heard the news of Xue Shicai's pregnancy, he immediately entered the palace.
"Father, what should I do next," Xue Shicai knew that Xue Shijing had other arrangements, and she also wanted to understand it, so that she could cooperate.
"No, you just need to raise the baby with peace of mind, and the rest will be arranged by the father. "Xue Shizhang has already planned everything.
Ruihua Palace
Hearing the news of Xue Shicai's pregnancy, Sima Yi was furious again.
"Okay, you Xue Shicai, you are pregnant with the dragon seed silently, this palace wants to see, you have the ability, do you have the ability to be born!" Sima Yi clenched his fists angrily, and his knuckles were pinched straight and white.
"Niangniang, Chu Luoluo asks to see you," Fang Ping stepped forward with a characteristic calmness and reported.
"Let her in!" Sima Yi was worried and had nowhere to vent, this Chu Luoluo came over now and happened to bump into it.
"The concubine sees the mother, please say goodbye to the mother," Chu Luoluo saw Sima Yi and kowtowed, so that Sima Yi could not find a reason to reprimand.
"Get up! What's the matter!" Sure enough, Sima Yi received Chu Luoluo's big gift, and he was embarrassed to scold again.
"I'm afraid that Xue Shicai's slut will make Niangniang's heart unhappy, so I specially came over to give Niangniang a good luck," Chu Luoluo tactfully explained his intentions around the bend.
"Speaking of Xue Shicai, the palace is annoyed, you say you, you were favored earlier than Xue Shicai, why haven't you moved at all until now! If you are more angry, the palace will not be so angry!" Sima Yi beat the handle and reprimanded Chu Luoluo.
"Niangniang reprimanded it very much, but Mo Chenghuan and Xue Shicai were very charming, and the emperor's soul was gone, how could there be any thoughts on us!" Although Chu Luoluo was unhappy in his heart, he couldn't show it, and said something perfunctory to Sima Yi's thoughts.
"You also learn from others!" Sima Yi saw that Chu Luoluo was so obedient, and it was not good to blame him too much.
"Concubines should keep in mind," Chu Luoluo nodded yes.
"This Xue Shicai can't stay, you have to find a way to get rid of her!" When the Xue family got rid of Lu Jiakang, the Sima family formed a deep hatred with the Xue family, and the Sima family was even more unhappy when Xue Shicai became pregnant.
"Niangniang, don't worry, I'm waiting," Chu Luoluo's purpose in coming here was to organize Sima Yi to make the mistake of fighting with Xue Shijing again.
"Wait?!What are you waiting for!Wait for her to give birth to the child?!You always let them, how many opportunities have we lost! Are you from the Sima family or from the Xue family? Don't forget that your parents are still in the hands of this palace!" Sima Yi was dissuaded by Chu Luoluo again and again, and he had long run out of patience.
When Chu Luoluo heard Sima Yi mention his parents, his whole body trembled, and his chest seemed to be stabbed by thousands of steel needles, and he broke out in a cold sweat in pain.
But he still pretended to be casual and laughed: "Niangniang, the concubine does this for a reason, please listen carefully to the concubine." β
"This palace wants to see what you can say, so come!" Sima Yi put on an expression of "If you don't say a convincing reason today, this palace will not let you go easily".
"Niangniang, now Xue Shicai has Lou Yuyu to help, it does look better than us, but Niangniang also has to think about it, how can this Lou Yuyu really help her, even if she is pregnant, she can't make any big waves, but if we get rid of this Xue Shicai now, then the situation will be very different, this Lou Yuyu entered the palace originally for Mo Chenghuan, Xue Shicai's existence is the biggest burden to Lou Yuyu, it is a burden, it is Xue Shicai's existence has been dragging Lou Yuyu, so that he can't help Mo Chenghuan openly, once Xue Shicai falls, Lou Yuyu can help Mo Chenghuan justifiably, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with at that timeοΌβ
Chu Luoluo thought that she could fight with Mo Chenghuan to a draw, but if there was more Lou Yuyu, it would be tricky, she still had insufficient strength for a Lou Yuyu, and she was worried about adding a Mo Chenghuan, the two of them together were terrible, far beyond anyone's imagination.
"Then get rid of Lou Yuyu together with it, and save this extra trouble!" Sima Yi also began to be afraid of this Lou Yuyu, the current Dongtianji can be said to have good trust in Lou Yuyu, if it continues to develop like this, Lou Yuyu will one day speak for Mo Chenghuan or Xue Shizhang, and when the time comes, it will be difficult for them to move these two parties.
"But will the forces behind Lou Yuyu easily let us go?" Chu Luoluo after He Chong's incident, more and more convinced that this Lou Yuyu had influence in Fenglan, although in the eyes of outsiders, the disaster relief was all caused by He Chong, but the Prince of Zhuzhou Yao borrowed food not just because he had money, there was no unusual friendship, and the people who went to visit were afraid that the request had been beaten out by the stick before it was spoken, and it was not believed that there was no Lou Yuyu to dredge her death.
"You mean Feng Lan?" Hearing Chu Luoluo say this, Sima Yi suddenly realized that this Lou Yuyu was not only a third-grade medical officer of Canglei, but also had another identity - the only son of Feng Lan's former prime minister.
"That's right. Chu Luoluo bowed.
"But in this matter, some people say it's true and some people say it's false, whether there is Feng Lan behind this Lou Yuyu or not, no one can say, how can you conclude that there is," Sima Yi was also skeptical of this statement.
"Where does He Chong's food come from?" Chu Luoluo didn't say that it was convincing enough, how could he dare to provoke the angry Sima Yi at this time.
"Fenglan Zhuzhou. Sima Yi didn't care too much about it, but after Chu Luoluo said this, Sima Yi understood the meaning: "You mean, there is Lou Yuyu in this connection?"
"Otherwise, where did He Chong get the ability to ask Prince Nayao for food? This Xintong has the ability, but Xintong can't provoke Prince Yao for a small deal,"
Everyone in the world knows that this Prince Yao is a difficult bone to gnaw, sitting on a rich fief, not short of money, not to mention power, completely an isolated and carefree king, if you want to ask for benefits from a person who has no desires, you can only rely on human favors, if He Chong has this great ability to make friends with this Prince Yao, he did not need to use military risks to launch the "national protection movement" at all, and he would not have been imprisoned at home by his father for so many years.
"Then this Lou Yuyu can't move?" Sima Yi frowned with displeasure.
"We want to get rid of it, but we can't do it," Chu Luoluo had made a plan before she came, and she was confident that she would be able to impress Sima Yi.
"Who?"
"Xue Shizhang. Chu Luoluo knew that they were not the only ones who couldn't hold back and wanted to make a move on Lou Yuyu.
Sima Yi sneered: "This Lou Yuyu helped them get He Chong, and let this Xue Shicai be favored by the emperor and like the dragon seed, how could he do anything to him." β
"But don't forget, Niangniang, a few days ago, he also offered a plan to Mo Chenghuan, so that Niangniang and Xue Shizhang lost a lot of eyeliner, just by virtue of this, the Xue family brothers will not let him go easily, even if Xue Shizhang is willing to be hypocritical, Xue Shijing may not be willing to let go of this Yuyu, they all say that Mu Xiu and Lin will destroy it, and people who are too good are not suitable for the Xue family brothers. β
"For example, if Lou Yuyu is owned by us, when one day we achieve our goal, will we keep Lou Yuyu? Although Chu Luoluo had never come into contact with Xue Shijing, according to Xue Shijing's style of acting, this Xue Shijing would never be a person who was willing to suffer such a secret loss.
"For the sake of these little pawns, the Xue family brothers would actually take the risk of getting rid of Lou Yuyu?" In Sima Yi's eyes, those eyeliners were just dispensable chess pieces, and she didn't know how much energy it would take to arrange a few eyeliners that concealed their opponents in this deep palace where the dragon and the crouching tiger were hidden.
Chu Luoluo sighed secretly, they always say how mediocre and incompetent the saints are today, in her opinion, the mediocre and incompetent emperor is afraid that he is a little smarter than ordinary people, at least he must be smarter than their self-righteous concubine Niangniang, this emperor can subconsciously trust this extremely smart Lou Yuyu without any understanding, which proves that this emperor has something extraordinary.
"But don't forget, this Lou Yuyu's affection for Mo Chenghuan is indeed nothing to the Xue brothers, but as long as Lou Yuyu's friendship with Mo Chenghuan is still there, even if it is one more day for them, they will be afraid, today you Lou Yuyu can get rid of a few of my pawns for Mo Chenghuan, and tomorrow, you Lou Yuyu will be able to fight against the two brothers for Mo Chenghuan. β
Speaking of this, Chu Luoluo secretly observed Sima Yi's face, and at the same time, Sima Yi no longer had any previous doubts about her, but began to reveal it, and on the contrary, began to reveal a trace of joy.
"This Lou Yuyu's feelings for Mo Chenghuan are like fish bones in the throats of the Xue brothers, if they don't remove them for a day, they will not be able to eat and can't sleep at night," Lou Yuyu at this moment is like a box of gunpowder that has ignited the line of fire to the Xue brothers, if she is Xue Shizhang, she must be dealt with as soon as possible at all costs.
"As you say, Lou Yuyu has been eliminated, but there is still Xue Shicai, a slut!" At this time, Sima Yi's hatred for Xue Shicai far exceeded that of Lou Yuyu.
"So the concubine asked the mother to wait for the opportunity, as long as the Xue brothers made a move, we could take advantage of their slack to give Xue Shicai a blow to the heart, and when the Xue brothers came back to their senses, they had already lost Xue Shicai, but the things in their hands were already like arrows off the string, and they had to send it. Chu Luoluo showed a sly smile.
Sima Yi suddenly realized and immediately smiled.
"At that time, once Feng Lan is blamed, we can push the Xue brothers out, wouldn't it kill three birds with one stone?" Chu Luoluo already had a well-thought-out plan in his heart, and now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.
"That's going to have to wait until when. Sima Yi also felt that Chu Luoluo's plan was a brilliant plan, but he seemed to have lost patience.
"Rest assured, the concubine has a hunch that within three days, the Xue family will definitely take action against Lou Yuyu in less than three days, and the concubine will guarantee the life of her family," Chu Luoluo stretched out three fingers and solemnly swore to Sima Yi.
"Okay, this palace will wait for you for three days, if you make a mistake in your estimation after three days, no matter what, I will kill Xue Shicai, this little slut!" Sima Yi hated every beauty who was pregnant with a dragon seed, concubine, she had not moved at all since she entered the palace for many years, why could others get pregnant one after another.
"Three days later, if the concubine's estimation is wrong, although the mother can rest assured and boldly make a move on Xue Shicai, all the consequences will be borne by the concubine!" Chu Luoluo had absolute confidence in his own inference.
