**014 Hidden but heartburning

His head lowered and gave her a quick peck on the forehead.

Zheng Yuan's eyes turned and met his gaze fixedly, Qu Boyao quickly pecked her eyebrows, let go of his hand in amusement, and turned to leave.

Zheng Yuan chose the opposite direction, remembered the terrain in her mind, and when she encountered a complicated area, she took out the stone dai and drew it on the silk.

When I was concentrating on memorizing and drawing, a voice came from behind me: "What are you drawing?" ”

Zheng Yuan hurriedly hid things in her sleeve, turned her face calmly, and saw that it was Li Bo, who was called by Wei Yun and Menghua that day, and it was as she expected. She stepped forward and greeted him respectfully: "Libo." ”

Li Yiming looked around and said, "Lady Zheng, can you take a step to speak?" ”

Zheng Yuan then followed Li Yiming to a secluded and less inhabited place. She smiled and asked first, "I wonder what Abel said?" ”

Seeing that she was still laughing, Li Yiming looked at her eyes dark, pursed his lips, looked at the apricot blossoms slanted on the side of her bun, and sneered: "The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country." Zheng Niangzi is better than the businesswoman, and her family is ruined, and she can even laugh. ”

Zheng Yuan continued to laugh when she heard this: "That's right, I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, when my mother asked me to be martyred, I refused to live or die, I'm still so young, why should I die, and I know that he will definitely come to save me." Now that I've survived, maybe I can change my identity and mix with the right minister's wife in the future, why can't I laugh? With that, she laughed out loud, like a charm.

Li Yiming really fell for her radical strategy, and he was quite disdainful: "Hmph-the lord of Xing'an is also a woman with backbone, why did he give birth to such a demon as you, you are just like your father, if you have a father, you must have a daughter!" If you want to be with him, don't think about it for the rest of your life! ”

"My father was loyal, upright, and famous. You can insult me as much as you want, but please don't slander my father."

"Then the old man will come to tell Zheng Niangzi a true story, and let Zheng Niangzi see whether Ling Zun is famous or notorious," Li Yiming stared at her and slowly spoke: "In the thirty-second year of Emperor Zhen, Zheng Chongshu was a member of the Ministry of Rites and was framed and imprisoned

Four years later, Zheng Chongshu joined the camp of Han Wangyi, helped Han Wang force the palace, strangled Emperor Tan, first corrected the edict of Yi Chu, and then falsely passed the secret decree to announce the prince's entry into the palace, and the prince entered the Chonghua Gate, but the palace gate was closed, and ten thousand arrows were fired, and the prince was killed by random arrows. The king of Han was in the dynasty and announced to the world: Emperor Tan wanted to pass on to the king of Han, and the prince was unwilling, and wanted to force the palace and be corrected. History contains "the change of Chonghua." "King Han was called the emperor for the first emperor Gongsun Yi, and Zheng Chongshu was named Xiangguo.

Because the first emperor forced the palace humerus, the first emperor connived at Zheng Chongshu in every way, so Zheng Chongshu used his monstrous power to squeeze out loyal ministers, pull factions to form parties, accept bribes, and fill his pockets.

In the eleventh year of the emperor, there was a famine in Dongyuan County, and the emperor ordered Zheng Chongshu to inspect the disaster, but he shared half of the disaster relief silver taels with Jiang Gan of the household department

Emperor twenty-five years, Zheng Chongshu and the military department of Shangshu Yu Zhihuan deducted the imperial court to allocate the military salary of Ulan, as a result of the battle of Ulan, due to the lack of food and grass, the defeat of Da Cao, countless soldiers died in loess, no one collected the body, the main general at that time, Wang Jia, the son of Wang Kui, the general of the country, drew his sword and apologized for his crimes

Your eldest brother Zheng Jue, has he not been home for nearly fifteen years? Do you know why? Because of the battle of Ulan, he was Wang Jia's deputy general, and he was unwilling to go home because he disdained your father's behavior

If you talk about the first greedy minister and traitor in Dacao, Zheng Chongshu deserves it! More than 40 years later, Zheng Chongshu died in the struggle to help the crown prince seize the throne, which was karma. ”

I don't believe that my father wouldn't be like that. Zheng Yuan's mind was blank, why did the impression of her father leave in her heart was similar to what he said. She staggered back two steps, and replied in a choked voice, "How can I believe you based on your words?" What kind of person my father was, I know very well! ”

"If you have the opportunity to see your eldest brother in the future, ask him personally!"

"My eldest brother? He's alive? Where is he? Are you still in Hanyu Pass? Zheng Yuan had no impression of her eldest brother at all, and when he left home, she had just been able to walk and talk. All the news about the eldest brother was heard from the family.

"He's alive, and the old man doesn't know where." Li Yiming didn't want to sue her, so he avoided the topic, and after a moment of silence, he deceived her and said, "Do you know who he is?" He is the son of a general who died in the Chonghua Rebellion, his father was killed by your father, the revenge of killing his father, how can you say he can be with you? ”

Zheng Yuan's thoughts were still immersed in the father figure mentioned by Li Yiming, she seemed to hear it, and was stunned, he, is Qu Boyao? His eyes were calm, and he smiled, and said solemnly: "I just made a joke with Uncle and deliberately said that, wanting to see how Uncle reacted." Now it seems that I have a doubt, who is Abel? How could you care so much about him? Abel doesn't look like an ordinary person, but he wants to be an unobtrusive sweeper in this huge right minister's mansion in sackcloth, what does it mean? ”

The words fell, and Li Yiming's vigilant gaze was answered. Zheng Yuan said again: "Abel looks at me with this kind of eyes, I guess Abel is killing me again now!" ”

"You're a little smarter than I thought you would."

Zheng Yuan said calmly: "Your Majesty suspected that I was still alive and was hiding in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, so he sent Xu Lingjian to search for him, coincidentally, Xu Lingjian, like Abo, was loyal to Qu Boyao. Ah Bo knew that it was Xu Lingjian, so he tried his best to get in touch with him, first hid me in the stable, and then asked Xu Lingjian to stab me with a sword when he came to search for me. Then I said to my majesty, but I didn't find anything. ”

Li Yiming's face changed.

"Qu Boyao didn't want me to die, but Abel wanted me to die, but Abel was worried: If you kill me, it will cause a rift between the two of you, so Abel deliberately left a little clue for Xu Lingjian so that he could find me by himself, and then asked Xu Lingjian to pretend to be unintentional and kill me by mistake when he was searching. But Abel didn't expect that Xu Lingjian was a step too late and was stopped by him, but Xu Lingjian was determined to kill me, and he couldn't stop him, and the reason why Xu Lingjian let me go was because Xu Lingjian and Abel had the same concerns"

"So what?" Li Yiming threatened her: "If you dare to instigate in front of him and say half an alarmist word, I will not let you go!" ”

"Don't worry, I don't want to know what the identity of Qu Boyao, the owner of Aber's allegiance, is, and I have no interest in knowing what he is planning." Zheng Yuan said, "But since I can see it, how can Qu Boyao not see it?" Uncle wants to kill me, but he is afraid that I will cause Qu Boyao to be involved, Uncle rest assured, I will not stay in Xiangguo Mansion for a long time, if Uncle is willing to tell me where my sister Yuanyuan is now, I will leave immediately. ”

Li Yiming pondered: If you tell her, what is her ability to be a weak girl, and if she impulsively goes to find her sister and provokes any basket, Hao will definitely come forward to clean it up. The best way is not to tell her anything, let her continue to live in the house, and find another opportunity to let her die in an "accident" in the future, that is the best policy. Then he said: "Where Sister Ling is, the old man really doesn't know, but the old man advises Zheng Niangzi: If you know each other, stay away from him, otherwise, I don't know how Zheng Niangzi will die in the future." ”

"Mrs. Zheng is back," Chunxi brought a plate of apricot blossom cake, and smiled at her: "The newly made apricot blossom cake in the kitchen, Mrs. Zheng will try it." With that, he stretched out his hand and handed a piece to Zheng Yuan.

Zheng Yuan took it and looked at it in front of her, but she didn't eat it, and suddenly broke it to pieces.

"Mrs. Zheng?" Chunxi was surprised, "What are you doing?" ”

Zheng Yuan slowly raised her eyes: "If one day, you are forced to be in a hurry, and there is no way to retreat, will you poison me by any means?" Or in a piece of pastry, or when there is no one in the pool, or when I am asleep, sneak in and stick a knife in my heart."

"What nonsense is the lady talking about?" Chunxi was taken aback, "Is it because you are afraid that the slave will be poisoned?" Slave, slave, how is it possible? She didn't have time to put down the jade plate, so she hurriedly knelt down and said, "Was Mrs. Zheng frightened that day?" The slave maid has long said that the slave and maid will not betray Xiangye and Zheng Niangzi even if they die. ”

"You won't betray Qu Boyao, but you want to find an opportunity to kill me, even if you don't want to!"

Chunxi's eyes widened: "Why did the lady say this?" A few days ago, the slave maid has been serving the lady with all her heart, if you intend to murder the lady, when the lady's life is dying, you can do it in the decoction you handle. ”

"Of course you don't dare to do anything in the decoction," Zheng Yuan smiled, "If I drink the decoction and die, won't the person who handles it be to blame?" ”

"Is it hard to blame? It seems that the lady is very confident," Chunxi suddenly smiled and knocked over the jade plate in his hand: "The tone is so firm, it seems that Zheng Niangzi understands Xiangye's intentions very well in her heart!" ”

Zheng Yuan, don't look over her head and don't answer.

Chunxi quietly picked up a piece of jade porcelain and held it in his hand, and asked Zheng Yuan: "When did you suspect me?" Why are you suspicious of me? I think I've been careful enough, and I never seem to have doubted that I would be bad for you. ”
