"Master Pei is a typical scholar and an honest person. Although he was not used to Emperor Dachang, who killed his brother and seized the throne, he was still loyal to Dachang. Do you want to take advantage of the personal grudge between Xu Jian and Song Cong to divide Lord Pei's trust in Emperor Dachang? ”

Yun Yi nodded lightly. He saw that Ping Yao had finished eating a chestnut, so he sent the bag in his hand to Ping Yao's hand.

Ping Yao took out another one.

The tone was as light as a sigh: "Yun Yi, don't you know that Lord Zhao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is the queen's person?" ”

"Yes."

Ping Yao finally turned her gaze from the chestnut to Yun Yi.

"So, you're earning ground with the queen?"

Yun Yi stopped and looked at Ping Yao.

Under the bright lights, Ping Yao's face was not soft.

The vigilance and hostility were obvious.

"You're the Queen's man?"

Ping Yao was stunned, she didn't expect Yun Yi to suddenly ask like this.

"It is true that you are a palace maid with an extraordinary background in Dachang Palace. But if it were just like that, the queen wouldn't have met for the first time and would have asked you to come to her. The Queen Mother's birthday banquet, I design the queen, and you won't come over to question me. And now, you won't care about the condition of the queen either. ”

"Are you the power that the queen cultivated in the people?"

With a "click", the chestnuts in Ping Yao's hands were crushed by her unconsciously.

Ping Yao looked at the broken chestnuts in his palm and smiled: "That's right." I was a child of the Empress who was placed in the private sector, specially for her to cultivate talents and accumulate money. ”

"Nonsense." Yun Yi smiled lightly and exposed Ping Yao's lies, "If that's the case, why did the queen push you into the water in the first place?" ”

Ping Yao was unusually calm, looking directly at Yun Yi, and even her voice was extremely calm.

"I grew up outside the palace, and the queen doesn't remember what I looked like for a long time. She pushed me into the water to confirm the marks she had made on me. ”

"Mark?"

"I have a tattoo on my shoulder, which was tattooed by the queen when she left the palace."

Yun Yi looked at Ping Yao for a long time.

Finally, his gaze regained his composure, and he raised his feet and continued walking.

"Since you are the queen's person, then if I cooperate with you, is it to cooperate with the queen?"

The cold voice weaves through the glitzy streets, somewhat distorted.

Ping Yao groaned for a moment.

"Sort of. I have my own selfishness. ”

Yun Yi turned his head.

"The queen is bent on putting King Tang Xian on the throne. But I don't want to. The eldest prince and the second prince, either of them can ascend to the throne, but King Tang Xian cannot. ”

King Tang Xian was the only surviving son of the first emperor. Timid and afraid, embarrassed by heavy responsibilities.

However, it is the prince of Dachang who can rightfully inherit the throne.

This prince, who is quite supported by the remnants of the old emperor, is Ping Yao's half-brother.

Helping your half-brother earn the family fortune? Ping Yao would rather cheapen her aunt's son, the second prince Jiang Henghuan.

Yun Yi smiled: "No matter who inherits the throne of Dachang, I don't care." Your dispute with the Empress has nothing to do with me. ”

"I just want you to help me go back to Da Zhou and ascend to the throne."

Under the light, the young man in white was dyed with brilliance.

However, those eyes are still bright and clear.

But Ping Yao felt a chill in the clear.

From then on, she could only believe half of his words.

Yun Yi's talent can be shown in Dachang. The throne of the Great Zhou is simply a treasure for him.

What he really wants is not just the territory of Da Zhou. Rather, it is the fifty-six prefectures of Dachang, and the nineteen prefectures of Dachang, which is nearly 20 million square kilometers of mountains and rivers.

He was lying to her.

Ping Yao smiled sweetly: "Okay, I'll help you." ”

As if she didn't know that Yun Yi was lying to her.

Since then, she has only said half of it to him.

Ping Yao stopped in front of a courtyard next to the Prince's Mansion.

"You go back to the house first, I'll go to my yard and have a look."

Yun Yi glanced at the high-walled courtyard and nodded: "Come back early, so you can have dinner." ”

Ping Yao didn't answer and went straight up the steps.

The red wooden door was ajar, and the pink clothes flashed lightly in. The wooden door closed again, and it fell silent in the last rays of the setting sun. I dye the coldness of the night.

Yun Yi didn't know if his instincts were wrong.

Ping Yao's attitude towards him seemed to be cold all of a sudden?

Yun Yi returned to the Green Brocade Hall, and in the courtyard, there were still two bunches of begonia fruits. Red, against the backdrop of the big lanterns, like small lanterns.

"Your Highness," Rui'er was in the courtyard, and when she saw Yun Yi, she hurriedly greeted her, "Dinner is ready, do you want to set the meal?" ”

"I'll wait for Ping Yao to come back." Yun Yi responded and walked into the room.

The light illuminates Rui'er's eyes. It was dark inside.

Ping Yao entered the courtyard.

The garden is in the southeast of the yard. Ping Yao avoided the garden where craftsmen frequented and followed the path to the courtyard where she lived.

There are two small lanterns lit in the courtyard. The moonlight was bright tonight, and the courtyard was white.

A girl in Tsing Yi sat on a stone table in the courtyard, arranging flowers and playing.

Hearing the footsteps, she turned her head to look at Ping Yao and hurriedly saluted: "Master." ”

"Where's Xuezhu?"

"She went to the garden to see how the construction went."

Ping Yao sat down on the stone table. The girl in Tsing Yi cleverly poured her a cup of tea.

"How's it going?"

"Other places are fine, but the rockery is not easy to repair. There is also the planting of flowers and trees, which is a work that takes time. I guess it will take half a month. ”

Half a month?

can pit a few more people.

"Let's not mention the rockery. Among our people, there are no people who are good at planting flowers and trees? ”

"Yes, there is, but those who have expertise have been planted by you, master."

People don't know much when they use it.

Never mind.

Ping Yao said: "You clean the yard again tomorrow, and I will move in tomorrow." ”

The girl in Tsing Yi didn't ask why, nodded and replied, "Okay." I cleaned up overnight, then posted notices, and then arranged the people in the house. ”

Ping Yao nodded, got up and went into the study.

The girl in Tsing Yi lit the candlestick and placed it on her desk.

Ping Yao took out the pen and paper by herself, dipped the residual ink in the inkstone, and began to write a letter.

Ping Yao had the foresight to insert hidden stakes in many officials' mansions.

Song Cong welcomed Shen Bishui into the Song Mansion and had conflicts with Xu Jian, she probably knew about it.

The reason why I didn't say it was because I felt that there was nothing to say about these deep house gossip.

She can listen to 100 pieces of gossip every day, and she has long been tired of hearing them.

She is the king of gossip in every word.

But the king of gossip didn't know that the talented Xu Jian would appear in Tianxianglou specifically for Shen Bishui.

And Yun Yi, who seems to be light and breezy, knows it.

Yun Yi not only let people follow Song Cong and Shen Wei, but also made people follow Xu Jian, a penniless and innocent candidate.

This is not at all in line with Yunyi's efficiency-oriented style.

On the snow-white paper, the ink is drawn on the tip of the pen. The ink fragrance is faint.

The beautiful Xiaokai only had a few short sentences: "Send someone to confirm Xu Jian's background." Don't care about the people who are in the clouds. and if his men hinder him, kill him. (To be continued.) )
