Chapter Ninety-Five: Qi Yu changed his mind, and the three princes returned
Xi Cui called Aunt Shu on her lips, but her eyes never left He Rongyao for a moment, and then she hated to see He Rongyao's face change brightly and darkly, and the handkerchief in her hand became tighter and tighter. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
To be honest, Princess Li was very happy when she heard Xi Cui's words, but He Rongyao was still sitting beside her. This Xi Cui is talking about aunts, but which sentence can avoid He Rongyao? For He Rongyao, she really likes it, she is very satisfied with her status, temperament and temperament, but she can only give her the position of a flat wife. Just now she said that He Rongyao promised herself, what if she was beaten down by Xi Cui like this, the girl's face couldn't be pulled down, and she regretted it?
Xi Cui didn't have time to take care of the princess's inner entanglement at the moment, and said in her heart that she didn't like this He Rongyao very much, even if there was no entanglement with Yu Feng, she didn't like this woman. It's just that without Yu Feng's relationship, she might avoid such a woman, but at this time, she had to face her directly.
She didn't think about objecting to Yufeng's concubine or flat wife, after all, the difference between the identities of the two people was too great, and Princess Li's thoughts were not incomprehensible. But it must not be a woman like He Rongyao, such a woman is simply a dormant poisonous snake, and it is too dangerous to stay by her side.
Seeing Xi Cui count herself like this, Princess Li's face was not only happy but a little worried, Aunt Shu's eyes couldn't help but fall on He Rongyao's body, for this Miss Hou Mansion who has been in and out of King Li's Mansion recently, Aunt Shu still heard of it. Soon she understood the embarrassment in Princess Li's heart, so she blushed and laughed, "Hehe, Xi Cui, Xi Cui, I look at you now like you're watching a joke, you know?" You are here to help your future mother-in-law speak, but the hearts of people are thinking about the person next to you. Maybe in the hearts of others, your wife is not as good as the flat wife chosen by others! ”
"Presumptuous!" Xi Cui raised her voice and shouted, "Aunt Shu, even if you don't think about yourself, you should accumulate virtue for the child in your womb!" Do you know who is sitting next to the princess? That's Miss Yan of the Hou Mansion of Anyang! What a noble status! How can you let your words ruin the reputation of a young lady of the Hou Mansion! Although Miss He's parents are far away in Anyang, her identity is there, and you must not be slandered by one of your subordinates at will! Can you just say that kind of thing casually? It is that the average girl from a serious family has to go through the official media, the so-called parents' order matchmaker's words, how can the dignified Miss Anyang Hou be as private as you said, once your words reach the ears of Anyang Hou, what will be the consequences? In case the Marquis of Anyang is dissatisfied with the Liwang Mansion because of this, not to mention the reputation of Miss He, and even worsens the relationship between the two families, how can you afford such a consequence? ”
Where did Aunt Shu think of getting so much, all these years in the palace, Princess Li has been letting her, as long as she does not involve the princess's bottom line Nangong Yufeng, Princess Li mostly ignores her vexatiousness. Coupled with the favor of the prince of Li, Aunt Shu tossed almost at will in the back house of the Liwang Mansion, and no one dared to provoke her, which also caused her to use her brains not much in everything, thinking that she could achieve her goal by just making noise. Now that she was accused by Xi Cui with such righteous words three times and twice, she was a little timid, and for some reason she was even more weak when she looked at Xi Cui now than when she looked at Princess Li. Especially Xi Cui's fierce reprimand, she really didn't know how to end it......
As everyone knows, the two people sitting on it heard Xi Cui's words clearly, and even Princess Li was shocked. Xi Cui is right, He Rongyao is Miss Hou Fu in the end, although she has no mother since she was a child, but Anyang Hou is renewed, she wants He Rongyao to be Yufeng's wife No matter what, she must go through Anyang Hou and his wife, but can people agree? If you don't succeed in the end, it won't be good if you become an enemy!
He Rongyao was extremely resentful, she thought that this morning's pear blossom and rain coquettish incident had settled this matter steadily, who knew that when Xi Cui said this, the princess would definitely send someone to Anyang to see her parents, in case she inquired in Anyang, how could she cover up her affairs?
After Xiao Yi told Xi Cui about He Rongyao's thoughts, Xi Cui suddenly became enlightened. She finally knew why a noble Miss Houfu like He Rongyao depreciated her identity and tried her best to be Yufeng's wife. What kind of unsightly thing did you dare to do in Anyang! Then it's much easier!
The sudden relaxed expression on Xi Cui's face made He Rongyao's heart tighten, she always felt that Xi Cui's eyes were very strange when she looked at her at the moment, and she was a little panicked, as if she could see through herself at a glance. But how could she possibly know those things? Xi Cui must be bluffing, just trying to scare herself! He Rongyao was so relieved in her heart, but her eyes dodged again and again, and she didn't dare to meet Xi Cui's gaze.
"Okay, Aunt Shu, isn't it shameful enough? Get out of here! The princess finally spoke.
Only then did Aunt Shu react and quickly disappeared.
After Aunt Shu left, Xi Cui knew that she didn't like the princess, and she could only be embarrassed to stay, so she said a few polite words and left.
The three of them went out of the gate with their front feet, and someone on the back foot told the butler everything that had just happened. After hearing this, the housekeeper shook his head with a smile, turned around and entered the prince's study. Soon there was a hearty laugh in the study, and the prince's deep and powerful voice came out, "It's a little interesting!" No wonder Yu Feng's temper can be cleaned up by her, this girl is really not simple! ”
Xi Cui returned to the twilight moon and received the news of the Hanyan girl, saying that someone wanted to participate in Qi Yu's corruption, the evidence seems to be an account, as long as the fold is handed over, the emperor sent someone to the treasury handled by Qi Yu to check, and if the money account is not matched with Qi Yu, a prison sentence is indispensable.
Duan San was not there, Xi Cui could only call Lixiang, who was the best in the three fragrances, and asked her to hand the news to Qi Yu, and told Qi Yu that as long as he opened his mouth, Xi Cui would definitely help.
After Lixiang came back, she said that Qi Yu sent her back without saying anything, and did not ask for help.
After hearing this, Xi Cui thought about it, found Rui Niang, and discussed it, and took out some cash from the account of Jinyi Pavilion for backup.
Sure enough, at dusk on the second day, Qi Yu came.
After receiving Xi Cui's notice, he checked the accounts overnight, only to find that the silver on the account was four hundred and thirty taels more than the actual amount, and there was no record of where the money went. This morning, he asked a few stewards one by one, only to find that there was one person missing, and that person had taken two books with him. If you want to get people back, I'm afraid it's too late. He could only find a way to make up the money on the books first, and then slowly investigate the matter later.
Qi Yu was not much shocked when Xi Cui ordered someone to take out the silver that had been prepared for a long time, as if he already knew that Xi Cui must be rich.
Qi Yu's hand was placed on the silver sent by Xi Cui, and he said softly, "I borrowed this money from you, and I will return it within a month." In fact, I still have two houses in my hand that can make up for the deficit if they are sold, but I don't want to startle the snake at this juncture. Presumably, there will be movement on the Emperor's side in less than three days, and the Emperor's attitude towards me this time is enough to determine my final choice. After a pause, he asked again, "Why didn't you see Duan San?" It seems that if the third prince can really survive this catastrophe this time, you will also be indispensable? Xi Cui, have you really made up your mind to wade into this muddy water? ”
Xi Cui lowered her head and drank tea quietly, but did not answer him.
Qi Yu then asked, "I know that you have hated the intrigue in the Gaomen Compound since you were a child, but what is wrong with you now?" Is it because of your family's death? If it's really just for revenge, can I help you? I can't do it, and Nangong Yufeng! This is obviously a man's business, why do you have to be a woman to get into it? ”
"yes, why do I have to be a woman?" Xi Cui shook his head with a smile and sighed lightly, "Once I tried to rely on you, I wanted to stand behind you, and you prepared me for the life I wanted. But the result? Hehe...... Later, I thought that you couldn't do it, maybe Xi Yunjian could, so I pinned my whole hope on him. But he couldn't even save his own life. Then I saw through it and thought about it, the responsibility on my body is unavoidable, and no one can help me! I have to make myself stronger, because Yun Ting still has to point to me to protect, and my family still needs me to take care of it. For their sake, I have repeatedly avoided it, just seeking a corner of safety, but what is the result? Mama Wu died, Yun Ting almost died, and my family was all killed! ”
"But what you're doing now......"
"It's dangerous, isn't it? Then I ask you, if I do nothing and continue to avoid it, will they let us go? Xi Cui stared at Qi Yu, his eyes didn't blink, "Hehe, I'm fed up with the days when people are swords and I am fish and meat!" Even if I die, I'm going to fight! ”
"......" Qi Yu silently picked up the silver and left gloomily.
After he left, Xi Cui's hand grasped the teacup and began to tremble......
Qi Yu guessed correctly, and on the second day, the emperor ordered someone to check Qi Yu's account, but fortunately, Qi Yu had already prepared, and there was finally no danger. Afterwards, the emperor promoted Qi Yu by two levels, which was regarded as compensation, and this time he listened to slander and caused harm to Qi Yu. But no matter what he continued to say, he could no longer make Qi Yu trust him without any guilt as before.
The next most important thing is the engagement between Lao Keqin and Princess Chaoyang.
When the day came, the emperor waited for the news of the assassination of the third prince on the side of the Lao family after dealing with the matter at hand, but the Lao family did not enter the palace for a long time. Seeing that the appointed time was approaching, the emperor was about to leave the palace, but he didn't want to meet Qi Yu handing over the sign to enter the palace.
As soon as Qi Yu came, he told the emperor that the three princes had arrived at the princess's mansion, and it was said that they were injured, and the father and son of the Lao family were urging the imperial doctor to treat the three princes.
"Hurt? Where does it hurt? Is there a danger to life? "The emperor seems to care about the body of the three princes, but Qi Yuqing clearly knows that he really cares about when the three princes will die!
"It's not serious, it's said that it's just a sword wound in the arm, and it's not a big deal, but the third prince is probably very frightened, and his mind is a little unclear...... Uncle Lao Guo found the head of the palace hospital and was looking at it, so there shouldn't be any major incidents. Qi Yu deliberately said this to make the emperor suspect that Uncle Lao was really concerned about the injuries of the third prince. He wanted to see what kind of attitude the emperor should have when the Lao family was close to the three princes.
"That's good, that's good...... Quick, send the order out of the palace, I want to go and see the third brother in person! "The emperor silently read the head of the Tai Hospital several times in his heart, what a good Uncle Lao, you didn't succeed if you wanted to kill the third prince, and now you are still so active in protecting his life, what are you going to do?
"Your Majesty, don't panic! The third prince will definitely be fine, and Uncle Lao Guo will definitely find someone to take care of him. If you think about it, he just doesn't miss the brotherhood between the emperor and the three princes, but also the relationship between Lao Keqin and Princess Chaoyang! If there is any accident with these three princes, how can their Lao family smoothly marry Princess Chaoyang into the door? Qi Yu seemed to comfort the emperor, but he told the emperor that the Lao family now needs the three princes, because they want to marry the Chaoyang princess, but without the existence of the three princes, a Chaoyang princess is just a false name, and it will not help their Lao family much.
That being the case, what does Uncle Lao Guo's attitude towards the third prince mean now?
Qi Yu's words were like a slap in the face, which made the emperor's heart stir up earth-shaking waves, and shocked him into a cold sweat! Why didn't he think that the Lao family could help him to take the position, and naturally he could also help others up, he was quite suspicious of the Lao family during this time, and even supported Qi Yu, the Wang family, and Nangong Yufeng to fight against the Lao family, presumably the Lao family had already seen the clues, right? Letting Princess Chaoyang marry Lao Keqin is just the first step in their connection with the Three Princes! What are they going to do next?
Along the way, the emperor was thinking about what to do. It seems that the Lao family can't continue to connive, but how easy is it to bring down the Lao family? Who else can he use?
Before he could figure it out, it became clear that the princess's mansion had arrived.
The emperor got off the Luan car, and the subordinates at the door of Uncle Lao Guo saw the emperor's car from a distance and ran in to reply, and when the emperor came down, Uncle Lao Guo was just standing at the door, still panting.
At this time, Uncle Lao Guo was also weak-hearted, and the emperor ordered him to send someone to rob and kill the three princes, the original plan was seamless, and even the people around the three princes were bought by him. However, his people killed all the drivers of the three princes, and when they checked it, they found that there were no three princes in it.
Just when he was anxious, the third prince suddenly appeared outside the princess's mansion and suffered a sword wound. Princess Chaoyang was in front of him, he couldn't continue to harm the three princes in front of her, so he could only behave positively, and hurriedly went into the palace to find a doctor to treat the three princes. No, Princess Chaoyang had to ask the head of the hospital to come forward, and Uncle Lao's sign had been handed out and couldn't be taken back, so there was a matter of Uncle Lao Guo personally handing over the sign to the head of the hospital to treat the three princes' injuries.
He was just thinking about how to explain to the emperor, and the emperor actually came. And Qi Yu, who had been following the emperor's car, Uncle Lao Guo didn't see it in a panic.
The emperor looked at Uncle Lao Guo with mixed feelings in his heart, but he still had to pretend to be anxious about the third prince's injury on his face, and hurriedly asked, "Where is the third brother?" I heard that he was injured, where is the head of the hospital, why didn't he come out to greet me, I was about to ask about his third brother's injury! ”
The emperor rushed inside as he spoke, but Uncle Lao followed behind him but muttered, sure enough, the emperor still doubted himself! He actually knew so quickly that the head of the Tai Hospital was invited, and he didn't say anything about it, unless the emperor had already arranged for someone to monitor this side!
As a father, he naturally doesn't want his son to misunderstand, and Uncle Lao Guo is naturally no exception. The emperor was suspicious of himself, but he did not complain in his heart, but instead examined whether he had done anything wrong, which made the emperor suspicious.
When they arrived at the room where the third prince was treated, Princess Chaoyang's cry came from inside, but the third prince just said, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I don't want to die!" I don't want to die...... Sister, help me! ”
The eunuch's duck screamed loudly, and after the emperor arrived, the room knelt together.
Only then did the emperor see the appearance of the three princes.
I saw him sitting unkempt and disheveled on the bed, his hands clasped around his knees, his face hidden between his legs, his whole body trembling, as if he was really frightened......
The emperor was just about to approach, but was stopped by Princess Chaoyang kneeling, "It's better not to go over, the third brother is delirious, he drowned in bed just now, and he is a little filthy, but he is making trouble not letting anyone approach...... Don't let the third brother startle the holy ......"
When the emperor heard her say this, he really smelled a foul smell, and then looked at the bedding on the bed, it seemed that there were really a few wet stains, so he stopped and leaned over to help Princess Chaoyang up, "Sister, get up, my brother and sister don't have so many rules." Today is your big day, and your third brother has such a thing happening again, it's me, the elder brother, who doesn't take care of it! My responsibility! "He deliberately behaved very friendly, and even used the word "I" instead of me.
Princess Chaoyang stood up with sobs and looked at the third prince again.
At this time, the three princes also secretly looked up here, and the emperor saw the faces of the three princes clearly, the original fair and handsome face, now it is dark and yellow, and the stubble on the sideburns seems to have not been cleaned up for a long time, long and short on the face, which is even more embarrassing. Now this person, if he didn't appear in front of him like this, even if someone told him that this was the third prince of the year, he wouldn't believe it.
Can such a person really be a threat to himself? The emperor looked at the three princes thoughtfully......
The eyes of the third prince gradually gathered, and finally he saw clearly that the person who came was the emperor, so he rolled down from the bed tremblingly, knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, "Brother Huang save me, someone wants to kill me!" Brother Huang save me, I don't want to go back, it's not a place for people at all! Brother ...... Emperor"
The emperor's thoughts were called back by the three princes, he squinted his eyes and watched the three princes keep kowtowing, and felt a wave of vibration under his feet, one after another as if it was hitting his heart. What can such a third prince do? At the beginning, Uncle Lao Guo said that the three princes were the biggest threat, and instigated him to send the three princes away, but now looking at the person in front of him, how can he threaten himself?
"Alas...... Since you don't want to go there, you don't have to go anymore, I will arrange a palace for you in the capital and you will stay. Today you still have to recuperate. After speaking, the emperor looked at Princess Chaoyang, "Sister, your third brother must not be able to entertain the guests in the front hall on your behalf, look at today's engagement ......"
"This ......" Princess Chaoyang looked at Uncle Lao Guo and his son with some embarrassment. (To be continued.) )
