With apprehension, the Tong family went to the palace. The weather in February was still a little cold, and when he got out of the carriage, Tong shivered, and involuntarily gathered the clothes on his body.

Meilan was waiting in the second courtyard, and when she saw Tong's blessing, she smiled and said, "The princess specially asked the slave maid to wait for her wife here." ”

Although Meilan is a maid, the Tong family is also polite to her.

When he saw Yuxi, the Tong family was still a little trembling. She was afraid that her husband had committed some crime, and the princess called her over this time to ask her about the crime.

How could Yuxi not see Tong's uneasiness, and said with a smile: "What is this? I don't know if I still think I'm a man-eating tiger?" In Yuxi's impression, Tong is a very cool woman.

Tong Shi weighed it in his heart, and still asked, saving himself from feeling uncomfortable: "Princess, I don't know what happened to my family?"

Yuxi chuckled, no wonder the Tong family was so trembling, he thought Cui Mo had made a mistake: "General Cui is fine, he didn't make any mistakes." Moreover, even if General Cui really committed a crime, it would be dealt with by the Supervision Department and the Criminal Prison Department. ”

At this time, Tong Fang came over with tea and snacks. Tong Fang put down the tea and said with a smile: "Sister, the princess is just a little bored, and she wants to talk to someone!"

Tong Shi breathed a sigh of relief, it was not that his family had committed something: "The princess forgives her sins, recently because of Yu Cong's incident, people have been panicked, so ......" Speaking of this, Tong Shi was shocked to realize that he had said the wrong thing.

Yuxi didn't care and said, "If you have anything to say, you don't need to be restrained." ”

Tong asked tentatively: "Princess, I don't know what General Yu has done?" There are many rumors outside, mainly saying that Yu Cong did not commit anything at all because Yuxi was retaliating, but her son was Yu Cong who collaborated with the enemy and rebelled yesterday. Which one was true, she couldn't measure for a while.

Yuxi smiled and said, "Collaborating with the enemy, intending to mutiny, harboring and harboring key criminals." After a pause, Yuxi said: "The evidence is conclusive, and he cannot deny it." ”

After hearing this, Tong's hands trembled with fright, and after a long time, he said: "Princess, forgive the courtiers for bluntly saying that Yu Cong is loyal to the prince, it is impossible for him to cooperate with the enemy and rebel, let alone make a mutiny. She couldn't say anything insincere.

Yuxi felt that the Tong family and Cui Mo were really husband and wife, and the rhetoric used to defend Yu Cong was exactly the same: "General Cui also said the same, saying that someone must have framed Yu Cong." Yu Cong shouted that I framed him, and said that he wanted the prince to avenge him. ”

Tong really felt that Yu Cong was a pig's brain, and said that it was okay for someone to frame him, but if the princess framed him, wouldn't he be looking for death! "The problem is that Yu Cong likes to drink very much.

Yuxi thought it was quite interesting, even the Tong family knew Yu Cong's weakness, but he didn't notice it at all. Yuxi said with a smile: "The Liu family took Yu Cong's edict, passed the checkpoint of Yongcheng, and transported 200,000 stone of grain. These 200,000 stone grains were transported to the capital one by one. ”

Tong opened his mouth, and after half a ring, he asked, "What about the intended mutiny?" The so-called intentional mutiny is to show that it was not successful.

Yuxi said lightly: "Yu Cong wanted to unite with Fang Xing to create a mutiny in Jiangnan, but Fang Xing refused. "As for the process, there is no need to talk about it.

Tong quickly reacted: "This is what Fang Xing said?"

Yuxi hummed and said, "I still have the testimony written by Fang Xing here. It is also for this reason that Yu Cong will be placed under house arrest. "If you don't put him under house arrest, who knows what crazy he is.

Tong's face changed again and again: "Princess, is the key criminal Yu Cong harboring from the Liu family?"

Yuxi nodded and said, "It's Liu Yi's brother." "Yu Cong wants to mutiny, and this Second Master Liu is indispensable. It's a pity that Liu Erye's ability to fan the flames is good, and he instigated Yu Cong to want to mutiny, but his other talents are lacking.

When Tong heard this, he couldn't help but say: "It's really retribution! If he lives a good life with Sister-in-law Xiang in a down-to-earth manner, where will there be today's disaster." "Tong's intercession for Yu Cong just now was for Cui Mo. In fact, because of Yu Cong's behavior of abandoning his wife, the Tong family, the Chang family and others were extremely disgusted with him. They all followed their husbands from a hard life, and Yu Cong's behavior was tantamount to stirring their sensitive nerves.

Yuxi said lightly: "He didn't think it was retribution, he just thought that I was retaliating against him." She admits that she does have the intention of getting rid of Yu Cong, but flies don't bite seamless eggs, and if Yu Cong stands upright, she won't have a chance to do it.

Tong said: "The princess doesn't care about him, he is fascinated by the fox spirit." After a pause, Tong said cautiously: "Princess, my family must not know the truth, so I will unite others to intercede with Yu Cong." I beg the princess to bypass him for the sake of his ignorance!"

Yuxi smiled and said, "Those who don't know are not guilty, I won't blame General Cui." "If you really want to blame, you won't summon the Tong family over. Of course, Yuxi specially invited the Tong family over for a purpose, and she hoped to use the Tong family's mouth to ask Cui Mo not to interfere in this matter again. Cui Mo is an emotional person, and she is really not sure if Cui Mo will do anything beyond the bounds in order to save Yu Cong. I don't want to embarrass Yunqing, so I have to nip this matter in the bud.

When the Tong family heard this, they made up their minds not to allow their husband to touch the matter, but not to implicate their family.

Seeing that the two of them finished talking about business, Tong Fang interjected with a smile on the side: "Sister, didn't you say last time that the spiced beans I gave you were delicious? Tong Fang knew that Yuxi left her to adjust the atmosphere, otherwise she wouldn't dare to interject.

Yuxi smiled and said, "I didn't expect us to have the same taste, and I also like to eat these spiced beans." Yun Qing saw that Yuxi and the children liked to eat this fine pastry, so he specially sent someone to find a master who was good at making pastries in Jiangnan into the house.

Tong's heart also revealed his true nature, and said with a smile: "This five-spice bean is really more and more fragrant the more I eat it, I can't stop my mouth as soon as I eat it." I wanted to ask the princess for this recipe for a long time, but I didn't find the opportunity. ”

Yuxi smiled: "It's just a snack recipe, I want Aunt Tong to say it directly." But you have to be mentally prepared, and you may not be able to make this flavor with a recipe. ”

Tong naturally understands the meaning of Yuxi's words, which is the same as cooking. The same ingredients taste different when they are made in the hands of different people: "If it is not delicious, then I will come to nag the princess." ”

Yuxi likes to make friends with people with this kind of cool temperament, but it's a pity that she is too busy and has little contact time with Tong and others on weekdays.

After chatting for a while, Tong's speech was no longer restrained, he looked at Yuxi and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, what I envy the most is the princess's maintenance method, which looks like a twenty-eight-year-old girl." "Yuxi's complexion is ruddy, her skin is crystal clear, and she looks naturally younger.

Yuxi immediately talked to Tong about how to maintain women, and this talk was about noon. Yuxi left the Tong family to eat in the mansion, but was rejected by the Tong family.

Tong said with a smile: "My leather monkey, if I am not at home, I will not eat well, I have to go back and watch him." ”

When the Tong family returned home, he immediately wrote a letter to Cui Mo, telling Yu Cong about today's events, and at the end of the letter, Cui Mo asked Cui Mo to think more about her and her children, don't fold yourself into it for the sake of caring for brotherhood, leaving them orphans and widows with no one to rely on.

After the letter was sent, Tong went to Feng Dajun's house after eating something casually and chatted with Chang for an afternoon.

Yuxi is very well-informed, so he naturally knows the movements of the Tong family. In this regard, Yuxi expressed his satisfaction.

On the sixth day of the first month of March, the palace issued an official letter, announcing that from this day on, Yunqing officially changed his title to King Ming, and Yuxi naturally became the princess of Ming.

Except for the change of the title, nothing else has changed, so this thing is like a drop of water falling into the lake, and it has not caused a little wave.

Yuxi smiled and said, "Now it's as you wish." "Yuxi was originally going to hold a canonization ceremony, so that it could be regarded as a real announcement to the world. As a result, Yun Qing was reluctant to live or die, and said that there was about to be a war, and this matter could be handled in a low-key manner.

Yunqing said: "That's good. "This canonization ceremony is also a formality, and it is completely unnecessary.

Yuxi smiled and said, "It's up to you this time, but not next time." "In the future, if you become the emperor, you can't be so quiet, you must do it lively.

In the afternoon of the same day, Yunqing received a secret letter from Feng Dajun. After reading this letter, Yunqing hesitated for a long time, and finally told Yuxi about it.

Yuxi was shocked after hearing Yun Qing's words, and said, "Feng Dajun wants to find a stand-in for Yu Cong and let him die?"

Yunqing didn't expect Feng Dajun to have this idea: "I thought he wanted to stay out of the matter, but I didn't expect to be fighting this idea." ”

Xu Wu had already told Feng Dajun about what Yu Cong had committed. Feng Dajun knew very well that Yuxi was unwilling to let Yu Cong go, and many people already knew the mistakes Yu Cong had made, and if he didn't deal with him, he wouldn't be able to convince the public. Therefore, Feng Dajun thought that this was not a solution.

Yuxi, General Feng really dares to think about it! But it is estimated that he knew that Yunqing could not bear it, so he made this suggestion! Yuxi asked Yunqing: "What do you think?"

Without waiting for Yunqing to express his position, he heard Xu Daniu say outside: "Prince, princess, the old lady is here." ”

Yuxi knew why Yunqing came over.

Huo Changqing entered the study and said straight to the point: "The army said that he wanted Yu Cong to die, I think this is a good idea, what do you think?"

Yuxi didn't speak.

Yuxi didn't think about it and refused: "No, Yu Cong must pay for the mistakes he made." "As soon as this opening is opened, there will be endless troubles.

Huo Changqing looked at Yun Qing with a calm face and said, "Yun Qing, Yu Cong has followed you from birth to death for more than 20 years, so you really can't spare his life?"

Yun Qing shook his head and said, "Uncle Huo, even now Yu Cong doesn't know how to repent, and he still clamored that Yuxi framed him? Uncle Huo, Yu Cong is hopeless." ”

Huo Changqing was silent and asked, "Is there really no room at all?"

Yunqing didn't hesitate at all: "No." ”

Huo Changqing knew Yunqing's temperament, and being able to say such things showed that there was really no room for maneuver.

After Yuxi waited for Huo Changqing to leave, he looked at Yunqing and said, "I thought you would agree!" Let Yu Cong escape, not only played the role of killing chickens and monkeys, but also full of years of friendship, I have to say that this method is good.

Yun Qing asked Yuxi rhetorically: "If I agree, Yuxi, will you agree?"

Yuxi was silent and said, "Herui, I don't want you to be burdened with this guilt for the rest of your life. If you insist, I'll back down. ”

Yun Qing said: "If he knows his mistakes and is willing to change his ways, I will agree to the army's proposal." But he still doesn't think that he is at fault, since he doesn't know that he is wrong, leaving him is leaving a disaster. ”

Seeing this, Yuxi's heart softened: "I made it difficult for you." In fact, if it weren't for her design, Yu Cong wouldn't have come this far.

Yunqing smiled and said, "I should say this." If you hadn't taken care of my feelings, you would have solved Yu Cong a long time ago. "Yu Cong's matter is actually as long as it is dealt with according to the law. But Yuxi has been delaying until now because he was afraid of his mood.

"The more you gain, the more you lose," Yuxi said. And Rui, this is just the beginning. "Yu Cong's matter is just the beginning.

Yunqing felt that Yuxi's words were a bit alarmist: "For me, you and the child are the most important. He was very sure that as long as he didn't do anything to be sorry for Yuxi, he would never lose Yuxi and the child.

After a pause, Yun Qing said again: "As for the army Cui Mo and them, as long as you don't do anything overstepping, I believe you won't touch them." ”

Yuxi chuckled and said: "They are meritorious heroes, I can't treat them well, where will I think about dealing with them." "But if they want to be unfavorable to her like Yu Cong in the future, she won't show mercy.

Yunqing smiled: "That's not it. ”

Huo Changqing returned to the courtyard and said to Xu Wu, who was waiting, "Go find a good coffin and choose a good piece of land for him." "This is preparing for Yu Cong's future.

Xu Wu's face changed greatly: "Didn't the princess even agree to let Yu Cong die?"

Huo Changqing shook his head and said, "It's Yunqing who doesn't agree." Yunqing said that Yu Cong was still unrepentant and hopeless. If you want to blame, blame Yu Cong for finding his own death!" "It's all come to this point, and I don't know how to let Yunqing and the Han family let him go."

Xu Wu's eyes turned red all of a sudden: "Lord Wang, he ......"

Huo Changqing immediately interrupted Xu Wu's words: "Yunqing didn't do anything wrong, it was Yu Cong who was wrong. "Yunqing is the most affectionate, and it can be seen that he is cold to Yu Cong if he can say such things.

Xu Wu was so uncomfortable that he couldn't speak.

Huo Changqing said with a gloomy face: "The pregnant concubine, have you settled down?"

Xu Wudao: "After settling down, I have a mother-in-law to take care of me." When the child is born, he will bring it back to Ho City. ”

Huo Changqing said: "I hope it's a son, so it's all in his heart!"
