Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Jackal
The person who came was dressed as a navy blue splendid goshawk martial artist, with thick eyebrows and narrow eagle eyes, and he couldn't hide his crazy aura when he stood still, it was the prince of Xuanbo Hou and the current cavalry general Li Qi.
Trespassing into someone else's territory without permission, this person didn't seem to be at ease at all, and when he saw Di Lian, he also looked calm, and even paced forward and hugged his fists, and said clearly, "Miss Jiang, Ziqi is disturbed." ”
Di Lian glanced up and down with her lips lightly, and before she could speak, the hidden door was pushed open again, but this time it was Liu Junchen and Uncle Wen.
Suddenly seeing this uninvited guest in the house, the two of them were surprised and vigilant, Liu Junchen stepped forward and said lightly, "General Li, the third floor of the diner Huan is not hospitality, and the general is invited to return to the table." ”
Li Qi ignored him, but still said to Di Lian, "I just saw a figure that seems to be Miss Jiang in the backyard, Ziqi remembered that what he was going to say at the palace banquet was interrupted, so today is so abrupt, I hope Miss Jiang doesn't mind, please listen to Ziqi's words." ”
Liu Junchen frowned when he heard this, and looked at Li Qi who was about to speak, but was stopped by Di Lian waving his hand.
The smile on her beautiful face was indifferent, and she said in a low voice, "Serve tea to General Li." With that, he walked to the soft couch under the south window.
Seeing this, Liu Junchen glanced at Uncle Wen, so he had to bow his head one after another, and retreated one after another.
The room was quiet, Li Qi stood in place and was stunned, looking at the snowshirt woman sitting on the edge of the soft couch leisurely and peacefully, hesitated for a while, and walked closer to sit on the other side of the soft couch.
Neither of them spoke until Liu Junchen personally brought tea in.
Seeing that he was silent and retreated to the side but did not leave, Di Lian did not speak, but the moon eyes squinted at Li Qi slightly, and leisurely held the green jade tea cup and smiled, "At the palace banquet that day, Di Lian thought that the expression was very clear, and I never thought that since General Li insisted that we have something to say." In that case, Tillian will listen to it again, General Lee, please speak. ”
Seeing that she did not avoid Liu Junchen, Li Qi was not reluctant, he sat upright with his hands on his knees, and quietly watched Tilian speak slowly.
"Miss Jiang seems to have a misunderstanding with Ziqi."
"General Li is too worried." , Di Lian smiled, her eyes fell on the green jade tea cup in her hand, looked at the floating and heavy tea leaves, and said leisurely, "Di Lian and General Li have only met a few times, and they are not familiar enough to talk about the word 'misunderstanding'." ”
As if he didn't care about the specious mockery in her words, Li Qi lightly hooked his lips and looked peaceful, "The emperor wants to promote the Li family, but every one is at my father's will, Ziqi doesn't want to be an enemy of anyone for his own glory." ”
General Li laughed, why did he use the word 'for the enemy'. Whether it is the Xuanbohou Mansion or the Rongguo Mansion, they are all the emperor's courtiers, and they must be loyal to the emperor, how can they be enemies. ”
"Miss Jiang." , Li Qi sighed, looking a little helpless, "Ziqi is sitting here today to talk to Miss Jiang, with full sincerity, even if Miss Jiang doesn't care, please listen to Ziqi's words." ”
The smile on Di Lian's face retracted, glanced at him lightly, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said indifferently, "Since General Li knows what you say, I won't listen to it, so don't waste your words, to tell the truth, Di Lian is a little woman, knowing is knowing and not knowing is not knowing, she has always liked to speak out, I don't want to guess or want to know what you have in mind, but the Xie family and the Xiangfu, even if they will not be enemies of your Xuanbohou Mansion, at least they will be clear." Again, General Li should not get too close to us in the future, otherwise it will arouse the suspicion of Emperor An and affect our two governments, which is really worth the loss. ”
In recent years, Tillian has rarely spoken to people in such a-for-tat tone.
Liu Junchen was listening, and couldn't help but lift his eyelids and glance at Li Qi.
Li Qi's face was slightly darkened, and Di Lian smiled lightly when she saw this, "Like the last time in the palace, it must have been known by Emperor An, even if General Li really disdains the current glory and wealth, as a son of man, he should think about it for Xuan Bohou." You know, once you get involved in the whirlpool of the temple, many things are true or false, and you can't help yourself, even if you don't intend to provoke anyone, you have no choice but to provoke it. This is the imperial court, and it is no longer the realm where you used to occupy the mountains and kings. ”
With his hands clenched into fists, Li Qi closed his eyes and gasped, and when he looked at Di Lian again, the comfort in his eyes had sunk, and a little depression and sharpness appeared.
"I didn't expect that for a daughter like Miss Jiang, a gentle method would be useless. Since this is the case, Ziqi also bluntly confessed, I already know very well how Emperor An ascended to the throne, and I also know very well your influence on him, Li Qi does not want to be an enemy of Miss Jiang. ”
Wouldn't it be more comfortable to talk like that? Tillian's face showed a bit of comfort and leisure, leaning on the soft couch railing, and her eyebrows raised lightly and said an unknown 'oh'.
Seeing this, Li Qi smiled faintly, "Emperor An is indeed eloquent, but unfortunately he is a lover, if a woman who becomes a weakness appears in a man's great cause, he will fall short after all, not to mention, this woman is still bent on calculating that he will die one day, how to deal with the future so as not to cause trouble for herself." ”
Hearing him mention that she was a red face and a curse, and she was scheming, Tillian didn't care, looked down at the slender plain fingers, and murmured, "General Li is wise." I don't know why I came here today. ”
Li Qi did not hesitate, and said bluntly, "Regardless of my father's place, Li Qi's heart is not optimistic about Emperor An's regime, Miss Jiang, can Ziqi cooperate with the Prime Minister and the Xie family?" ”
Cooperate? Emperor An raised jackals to fight back, whether he wanted to join forces with him was unnecessary in Dilian's opinion.
"General Lee may have misunderstood." , Di Lian smiled lightly, her long eyelashes raised slightly to look at Li Qi opposite, "My Prime Minister's Mansion and the Xie family have never had the intention of changing the dynasty from beginning to end. It's just that she wants Xiahou to die.
Seeing that Li Qi seemed a little stunned, Di Lian smiled again, "Today, General Li's words, Di Lian has never heard of them, and we have never seen them today." General Li's rebellious thoughts, let's take it away. ”
This is to be evicted.
Li Qi's thick eyebrows frowned slightly, looked at Di Lian fixedly, opened his thin lips lightly for a while, and said in a low voice, "Today, Li Qi is all he says, and I hope Miss Jiang will think about it." After that, he got up and clasped his fists and saluted, "Farewell." ”
Seeing him leave, Uncle Wen outside the door came in and closed the door, paced to Liu Junchen's side and looked at Di Lian silently, and now there is no joy of reunion after a long absence.
Liu Junchen said with a solemn expression, "This Li Qi, what kind of idea does he have, and he dares to say it blatantly with such thoughts, so he is not afraid that the emperor will know?" ”
Hearing this, Di Lian smiled and said, "Whether it's his original intention, or the temptation sent by Emperor An, don't pay attention to it." ”
Don't be suspicious, this is Tillian's habit.
Liu Junchen nodded, smiled slowly and glanced at Uncle Wen, and changed the topic, "When I saw Li Qi, I couldn't help but think of the Xuanbo Marquis Mansion. ”
"How?" Tillian looked at the two with interest.
Uncle Wen, who had not spoken all this time, spoke at this time, he lowered his hand and said gently, "The girl has explained to Junchen and the old slave in the past, and she wants to keep an eye on the mother and son of the Song family, does the girl know where Song Shengyue is now?" ”
The moon's eyes were slightly bent, and Tillian leaned on the soft couch fence and tilted her head, motioning for him to continue.
Uncle Wen smiled, and continued, "Last year ago, Song Shengyue begged to come to the door to borrow five thousand taels of silver, and the old slave thought that these five thousand taels were not a small amount for ordinary people, and he couldn't lend them to him casually, so he shirked and said that this matter had to be discussed with Junchen, and then he could talk to the girl, so he coaxed him to go back and wait for two days." ”
Liu Junchen answered at this time, "My subordinates returned to the diners, and Uncle Wen told me about it, I thought that I had to inquire carefully about what the silver was used for, so I sent someone to ask, but who knew that it was the powder in the kiln that had a big belly, and Song Shengyue wanted to redeem her, but she was squeezed by the old bustard." ”
Lightly hooking her lips, Tillian said lightly, "Lend it to him?" ”
Liu Junchen shook his head, "My subordinates went to the mansion to look for him, and the big-bellied woman was already in the mansion at that time, and two days later, Song Shengyue became the bookkeeper of Xuanbohou's mansion." ”
This is really interesting.
Di Lianyue's eyes narrowed slightly, and she murmured, "I actually leaned on the Xuanbohou Mansion, then the Li family is a bandit and reckless background, so it stands to reason that I shouldn't look down on such a scholar." Most likely, it's Li Qi again, he has found out a lot, and he has put a lot of effort into the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Xie family. ”
"There's more interesting." , Uncle Wen said in a low voice, his expression was a little secretive, "Song Shengyue has only been in Xuanbohou's mansion for half a year, and he has become Xuanbohou's son-in-law. ”
Now it's even more interesting.
Tillian cried and laughed, "What about his red face with a big belly?" ”
"That Miss Li is a hot, rude, jealous and arrogant person, although she loves Song Shengyue's handsome appearance and talent, but looks down on his background, not only the prostitute and the child in the belly, but also Mrs. Song is not allowed to enter the door of Xuanbohou's mansion." , Liu Junchen looked quite pitiful, "That Song Shengyue was tightly controlled by Miss Li, and he was restrained in the Xuanbohou Mansion, and he rarely went back to the house on weekdays, even when he went back, he was careful to dodge, and his subordinates looked at Mrs. Song's orphans and widows quite pitifully, and he had helped them several times in the name of Miss. ”
Mrs. Song is not doing well, this is the first thing that comes to Tillian's mind.
Thinking of the cowardly and kind woman, Di Lian felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and lowered her eyes and said softly, "Mr. is right, since Song Shengyue has taken this road, he can ignore filial piety because of his cowardice and no conscience, but we can't see death without help." Mrs. Song is old, and the woman and her young son are really pitiful, so it is not as good. ”
Seeing her thoughts, Liu Junchen sighed in his heart, his own girl looked indifferent and cold-hearted and unkind, but she was the most soft-hearted person.
"The subordinates understand what the girl means, and will arrange for the three of them, but do you want to tell Song Shengyue about this matter, the girl always does such good deeds, and people like him should remember this great favor."
Shaking her head slightly, Tilian said lightly, "You don't have to sue him, let him be worried all day long, it can be regarded as a punishment for unfilial piety." After a pause, Qinghe said, "It's better to place them in Yunhou Mansion, and they can also be accompanied by Mrs. Concubine." ”
Uncle Wen responded when he heard this, "The girl is right, only the Yunhou Mansion is the most stable, not afraid of being found, and will not attract hidden dangers." ”
Liu Junchen also agreed.
In fact, in their eyes, Shili will always be her safest backing, Tillian sighed, because of this, the gentle man is the one she owes the most. (To be continued.) )
