Chapter 121: Infiltrating Cai's Mansion
At this moment, Liu Yifu completely woke up. When he saw this scene, he knew that something was wrong, and when he saw that the general trend was gone, he didn't struggle with the trapped beast, but just shouted loudly: "Feng Qiyun is the county lord of Huanglong Kingdom, you let her out of the palace." ”
Xu Xianzhi replied coldly: "The lord of Zhuohua County is from the Xia State and the Wei State, and the friend or foe is unknown. As the lord of a small country, he has been in and out of the inner court frequently for several months, not following etiquette, and tempting the king not to think about the government and neglect political affairs. Custody first, then decision. ”
Qiyun listened to him, because he was exiled to the Xia State and traveled to the Wei State, he was suspected of being a spy who had infiltrated the Song State. was forced to enter the palace to serve as a servant, but he was convicted of tempting the king not to think about the government, and he was condemned by him as a disaster. Today's Xu Xian covers the sky with one hand, and he doesn't know where to reason. I knew that the situation in front of me was very dangerous, but I couldn't think of a countermeasure for a while.
Yifu came back to his senses, picked up Jiaowei, who had fallen to the ground and was ignored, hugged it in his arms, and slowly went ashore with Qiyun. Yifu fell to the ground with his feet down, and his body was half on the ground. Qiyun leaned down to help him and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Yifu pretended to struggle to get up, leaned close to Qiyun's ear, and whispered to her: "Wait a while, I hit you with the piano, you pretend to accidentally fall into the water, escape from the water, go to Yilong, he should be able to protect you safely." At this time, he cared about Qiyun's safety and no longer cared about the dislike between his brothers. Qiyun listened and looked at him gratefully.
Yi Fu stood up, hugged Jiao Wei, and walked slowly along the edge of the Heavenly Abyss Pool. Suddenly, Yifu lifted his left hand and knocked the tail of Jiao Weiqin into Qiyun, who pretended to avoid it and fell into the Tianyuan Pool. Seeing this, the guards on the shore immediately jumped into the pool to search.
At this time, before dawn, Qiyun dived quietly ashore under the cover of night. She took a deep breath and hurried towards the Taiwei Mansion. Xu Xianzhi and the others didn't expect Qiyun to be sent back to the Taiwei Mansion, but before the sergeant arrived, Qiyun climbed over the wall and took Yin Xue out of the mansion. didn't have time to say anything to Yin Xue, Qiyun dragged Yin Xue straight, ran out of Taiwei's Mansion, and went straight to the gate of Jiankang City. When he ran to the city gate, he found that the city gate had been under martial law, and the inventory was very strict. Qiyun took Yin Xue with him, knowing that he couldn't get out of the city at all, so the two of them could only wander around the city helplessly.
Qiyun looked around vigilantly all the way, avoiding the pursuit of the guards. Avoiding under the eaves of a mansion, Qiyun looked up and saw two big characters "Cai Mansion" written on the plaque on the door of the mansion. Qiyun saw that it was the mansion of Cai Kuo, the ancestral secretary, and his heart moved and he had an idea. Pulled Yinxue to a remote place, flew up the wall, took out a long silk, and dragged Yinxue. The two of them fell lightly and entered the courtyard of Cai's mansion. Taking advantage of the night, Qiyun sneaked into the kitchen and got a sharp knife, and quietly hid in a secluded corner with Yinxue.
When the sky was dark, the servants and maids in Cai's mansion walked around and began their busy day. When a butler-like figure passed by the corner where they were hiding, Qiyun stepped forward and grabbed him, holding the knife against his waist. Before the man could exclaim, Qiyun whispered: "Don't make a noise, we won't do anything to you, we just want you to take us to see your master." ”
The housekeeper was held hostage by Qiyun, and reluctantly took the two to the flower hall, where Cai Kuo, the ancestral secretary, was pacing in the hall with his head down.
The housekeeper trembled and reported: "Master, these two girls want to see you." The butler's voice interrupted Cai Kuo's thoughts. He looked up and recognized the person who came as Qiyun, the county lord of Zhuohua, and said with some surprise: "Oh, it's the county lord of Zhuohua, what kind of wind blew you here early in the morning?" ”
"It's Qiyun, meet Cai Shangshu." Qiyun let go of the housekeeper and recognized his identity.
Cai Kuo said to the housekeeper Wen Yan: "Butler, they are the old man's distinguished guests, you go down." When the housekeeper was retreating, Cai Kuo reminded again: "By the way, don't talk about what happened just now." The butler bowed his head and said yes, and bowed back.
Cai Kuo stroked his beard and asked Qiyun: "I don't know what the county lord came early in the morning to find the old man?" ”
Qiyun saluted him and said solemnly, "Cai Shangshu, you may not know the Dao, in the early hours of this morning, in the Tianyuan Pool in the palace, Xu Xianzhi, Tan Daoji and others had a palace change. They have seized the emperor, and they are looking for me by pretending that I have disobeyed etiquette and seduced the king. I can't get out of Jiankang City now, I told Shangshu the truth, I want to ask you to help me. Of course, if Cai Shangshu believed what they said, he could also tie up Qiyun and go to ask for merit. ”
When Cai Kuo heard this, he was shocked, but his face remained silent. Situ Xu Xianzhi, Shangshu Ling Fu Liang, Zhongshu Ling Xie Hui and other powerful ministers were dissatisfied with the emperor and had heard of it for a long time, but they didn't expect the palace change to come so quickly.
After thinking for a while, Cai Kuo said: "What the county lord said is a big deal. The county lord is a person, and the old man is trustworthy. took the county lord to invite merit, how could the old man be that kind of person? ”
"Thank you Cai Shangshu for taking care of everything." Qiyun hurriedly thanked him. Cai Kuo said again: "Now, the emperor's situation is no longer known. Xu Situ, Fu Shangshu, and Xie Zhongshu were entrusted by the first emperor as ministers to take care of their lives, but how they held the emperor hostage, and I don't know how they will behave. ”
As he spoke, a servant hurried in from outside, looking nervous. Seeing that there were two strange girls there, he was stunned for a moment, attached to Cai Kuo's ear, and whispered for a while.
Cai Kuo nodded, ordered someone to bring the official uniform, and said to Qiyun on the other, "County Lord, you two are waiting in the Contemptible Mansion first." The old man went to court to listen to the message, and then came back to make a decision. ”
Qiyun thanked him again, and Cai Kuo ordered the servant to take the two of them down to rest, while he walked away quickly. Qiyun knew in his heart that there had been a shocking change in the imperial court, and he ordered the minister to immediately go to the court to discuss politics.
When there was no one around, Yin Xue asked quietly, "Is this Cai Shangshu reliable?" Will he reveal our whereabouts? ”
Qiyun replied in a deep voice: "No, I originally knew that Cai Shangshu was an upright and benevolent person. That's why, when I see his mansion, I try to venture in and take refuge in him, and he should be able to protect us from safety. What the situation is at the court, we can only wait patiently. ”
Qiyun took advantage of this free time to carefully think about the ins and outs. The more I think about it, the more I feel that in recent months, many things have been a little strange.
She recalled that on the first day she entered the palace to see Liu Yifu, she didn't know why Yizhen appeared in the imperial garden, and no one stopped her along the way. Yoshishin said that he had been summoned and went to the Imperial Garden, but Yoshifu flatly denied it. Yifu believes that there is no emperor in Yizhenmu, and the following is guilty. As a result, Yifu and Yizhen did not get along and broke up unhappily. Fake message to Yizhen, who will deliberately make Yifu and Yizhen feel suspicious?
Later, Yizhen refused to give Pan Sheng and Xing Antai good looks to the Chinese scholars several times because of himself. The contradiction between righteousness and righteousness is getting worse day by day, and there are many reasons for the righteousness and truthfulness of temperament, as well as many coincidences. Someone collected and weaved Yizhen's mistakes, and wrote to Liu Yifu, causing him to be degraded, who would be this person who wrote the book?
Also, who are the people behind the betrayal of Liu Yifu by Pan Sheng and Xing Antai, who are the people behind them?
