Chapter 129: Sitting on the Fisherman's Profits
"What's the matter?"
Xu Zigui was impatient, and Mo Qingyuan didn't care, he only smiled and said: "A few days ago, thanks to the girl's reminder, my father did point out a side concubine to this prince."
"So what?" Xu Zigui pretended not to understand, and looked at Mo Qingyuan with a confused look
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills, Xu Zigui's acting skills are first-class, Mo Qingyuan saw that Xu Zigui really didn't understand, so he stopped trying and said what he meant
"According to the girl's construction, is it better for this prince to be close to Miss Zhao or not?"
"The fourth prince said this is a little strange, the side concubine of the fourth prince, what do the four princes want, and where can I speak from a girl's house" Xu Zigui looked at the four princes as if he was a mentally ill person, even if he was killed, he pretended not to understand the meaning of Mo Qingyuan's words, and Mo Qingyuan gritted his teeth when he saw it
"Miss Xu, Ming people don't say secret words, Miss Xu is a smart person, so don't play dumb riddles with this prince anymore"
Xu Zigui sneered: "You want me to help now, and your tone is still so arrogant, aren't you afraid that I won't help you?"
After listening to Xu Zigui's words, Mo Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that it was the eldest lady of the Weiyuan Houfu who had always played cards out of common sense who was talking to him, not someone else, and he shouldn't take it for granted that she should help him in a commanding tone
So, Mo Qingyuan corrected his mistake and apologized: "I was negligent, and I asked Miss Xu to teach me."
is able to bend and stretch like this, but Xu Zigui is secretly speechless, but his attitude is still the same as usual
"Why should I help you?"
The implication is that I will do you any good by helping you.
Mo Qingyuan said that if an ambitious person is used, he can rest assured, if a person does things for him, he doesn't ask for anything. On the contrary, he was not at ease, Xu Zigui just grasped Mo Qingyuan's point, so he asked like this
Xu Zigui asked this, Mo Qingyuan was also a lot relieved, and he would do something if he asked for something, so he looked at it. said lightly: "In the future, Ruoshun lì will remove the mother and son of the virtuous concubine." I'll do my best to bring whatever the girl wants."
For Mo Qingyuan, it is not certain whether Mo Ziyuan will be dead or alive when he returns from the frontier, and the biggest opponent for him at present is Concubine Xian's mother and son. If he helped him get rid of Concubine Xian's mother and son, it was equivalent to clearing a barrier, and he bothered to clear the obstacle for him so much, only in exchange for a vague promise? Xu Zigui sneered
"There is no basis for words. The fourth prince should tell some facts."
Mo Qingyuan raised his eyebrows: "Then what does Miss Xu want?" β
"If I help you get rid of the virtuous concubine mother and son, you will give me ten thousand taels of gold. Can it be done? β
"What do you want so much money for?" Mo Qingyuan frowned, he thought that Xu Zigui would take this opportunity to let him marry her, after all, if he became a big deal in the future, even if he was not the queen. The position of the fourth concubine is also indispensable, but she doesn't want to, she is indifferent to these. Instead, he wanted gold, which made Mo Qingyuan suspicious
"Nature is useful. Whether to give or not to give is a matter of His Highness's words, isn't it? β
Xu Zigui didn't talk nonsense with him, continued to put on an impatient attitude, and made a look of being ready to leave at any time, such an indifferent attitude made Mo Qingyuan itch with hatred, and gritted his teeth and squeezed out two words from between his teeth
"I give"
Very good, Xu Zigui nodded with satisfaction, although his heart blossomed, but on the surface, it was still the appearance that you took advantage of "There is no basis for dictation, you still need to set up a note for me" said, handed the handkerchief to Mo Qingyuan, and a wicked smile flashed in his eyes: "There is no pen here, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince will take a moment, write a bloody book"
didn't expect there to be such a play, Mo Qingyuan stared at Xu Zigui in disbelief, and almost went berserk, "Ye will still lie to you!" You actually asked the master to write a blood book! β
"Who knows if you will lie to me, if you don't write, if you don't write, I'll leave" said, and made a look like he was leaving, Mo Qingyuan gritted his teeth and said: "I'll write!" β
Immediately, he took the handkerchief handed by Xu Zigui, bit his finger and wrote, and after a while, he handed the handkerchief to Xu Zigui, and said viciously, "Here you go, take it, now you can say it."
Xu Zigui handed the handkerchief to Red Sleeves and asked Red Sleeves to take it aside to dry, and then he reluctantly spoke
"You pretend to pamper Miss Zhao, and let out the rumors, so that the Zhao family can hear that their girl is quite favored in the Four Princes' Mansion, so that in a few days, Mrs. Zhao will come to see the side concubines of the Four Princes."
Mo Qingyuan raised his eyebrows, and then Xu Zigui's words continued
"Actually, Mrs. Zhao is here to deliver poison to Zhao Dong'er, so what's next? What should I do? β
"The plan will be calculated" Xu Zigui squinted his eyes and continued, "After you are poisoned by the concubines of the four princes, the palace will definitely get the news, and early the next morning, Zhao Jieyu will poison the emperor"
Mo Qingyuan was shocked, he really couldn't imagine that his third brother was so bold
"You mean the third child is going to force the palace?"
Xu Zigui shook his head: "If you don't launch a soldier and a pawn, how can you call forcing the palace" and then smiled again: "When the time comes, you will arrive before the emperor eats poisonous things while everyone is not paying attention, and you saved the emperor's life, are you afraid that the emperor will not reward you?"
Mo Qingyuan carefully recalled the meaning of Xu Zigui's words, and looked at Xu Zigui approvingly, his eyes were full of appreciation: "Miss Xu is so scheming, she will be able to win the Zhao family at that time, and let her father value me, it is really killing two birds with one stone" said, a trace of pity crossed his eyes, but it is a pity that this kind of courage is born in her daughter
"I don't deserve His Royal Highness's praise," Xu Zigui said with an intriguing smile, "Zhao Jieyu and the third prince are cousins, and the two have a very good relationship on weekdays."
In a word, Mo Qingyuan understood the deep meaning of Xu Zigui's words, and hugged his fists and said gratefully: "Thank you Miss Xu for reminding me."
"No, you don't have to forget the ten thousand taels of gold you owe me."
Thinking of the blood letter that he was forced to write, Mo Qingyuan felt that his teeth were a little itchy, glared at Xu Zigui fiercely, dropped a sentence "Ye naturally can't forget", and turned to leave
Xu Zigui looked at the direction in which Mo Qingyuan disappeared and smiled meaningfully
"The fish is hooked, let's see these two fish fight to the death, let's just sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman...... Who?! β
"The county lord of Yunjin is really a heroine among women, and the praying mantis can come up with a plan to catch cicadas and yellow sparrows, and it also made my fourth brother believe you, you are really good."
"Each other" Xu Zigui breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the person who came, and he couldn't help but slander in his heart. It's really a father, and they all love to visit women's boudoirs at night so much, "Didn't His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince also eavesdrop on the side and not be discovered?"
"Ahem......" Mo Chenyuan coughed awkwardly and explained, "Isn't this prince afraid that you won't be able to deal with it alone, so he deliberately came to help?"
"Then I want to thank you for your kindness," Xu Zigui gave him a roll of his eyes angrily, "How are you preparing over there?" Have you gathered all the evidence that needs to be collected? β
Mo Chenyuan nodded confidently: "Everything is ready" After speaking, he looked at Xu Zigui again, with worry in his eyes, "Does the queen mother have to use such a dangerous method?" β
Xu Zigui shrugged, "Niangniang naturally has her reasons for doing this, let's do what she tells us." There's no going wrong with that."
said. Xu Zigui looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "It's not too early, I should go back." Your Highness should have rested earlier."
After speaking, he ignored Mo Chenyuan, bypassed Mo Chenyuan, and walked straight to his own dormitory
Seeing Xu Zigui walking away. Mo Chenyuan touched his nose and disappeared into the nightβhe had to quickly write these things down in a letter to send news to Mo Ziyuan
Of course. After reporting the matter, Mo Chenyuan wrote about how Xu Zigui and Mo Qingyuan reached a consensus happily, and five days later, Xu Zigui inexplicably received a cordial greeting from someone from the frontier -
Xu Zigui had just gotten up that day. Before he could wash up, he saw Yuerong hurriedly coming in from outside the door curtain, and Xu Zi was so frightened that he thought something was wrong. As a result, Yuerong handed a letter to Xu Zigui's arms and said, "This is a letter from the frontier. Said it was for the girl."
"For me?" Xu Zigui frowned, looked at the notes on the envelope and knew which one it came from, Xu Zigui muttered, "What do you have to explain?" While opening the envelope, the first line of big letters is
"Xu Zigui is good for you"
Seeing this line of words, Xu Zigui was so frightened that he almost threw the letter to the ground, thinking about how he could provoke this uncle, he looked up at Yuerong embarrassedly, and said with a wry smile: "You go down first, I'll call you again if there is something in a while."
After speaking, he sat back on the bed, picked up the letter written by Mo Ziyuan, and re-read it-
"Xu Zigui is so good, I heard that you had a good chat with Mo Qingyuan last night? And Mo Qingyuan bought you with 10,000 taels of gold? β
After reading the beginning, Xu Zigui was quite speechless, and he didn't want to continue to look down, but because of his curiosity, he continued to read, but fortunately, the rest of the paragraph became normal
"Concubine Shu's mother's family is not prominent, now even if you ask for Mo Qingyuan's IOU, he can't get so much, I know what you want to do with silver, don't worry, there is no shortage of silver on my side, Xiao Wu has found out the evidence of the third defection to the enemy and treason, and I also arrived at the frontier yesterday
Although some assassins will inevitably appear along the way, fortunately, your strategy of diverting the tiger from the mountain is very good, and the main force is chasing after the other three parties, and your father and brother and I are unharmed
Then there is the war with Yingli, as soon as the war starts, I can't communicate with you all the time, you take care of yourself, don't worry me
In the last sentence, except for necessary contact, it is not allowed to see Mo Qingyuan in private"
Seeing the end, Xu Zigui couldn't hold back, and laughed out loud, although it was a short text, Xu Zigui looked at it over and over again, only hoping that the past few years would pass faster and Mo Ziyuan would return sooner
After laughing, Xu Zigui got up and walked to the desk, holding a pen, but he didn't know what to reply, and sat at the desk for a long time before he finished a letter, and Xu Zigui hurriedly called Yuerong in
"Send this letter to the frontier"
"So thick?" Yuerong held a thick stack of envelopes, looked at Xu Zigui in surprise, and half-jokingly, "Master, you shouldn't have put a silver ticket in it?"
Xu Zigui was amused by Yuerong, twisted her nose, and said with a smile: "There are letters to the prince and to my father and brother, naturally thicker"
Who knows, but Zi Dai, who had just come in, joked with a smile, "I thought it was our girl who had something to say to the prince, it was originally written to three people, if the prince knew about it, maybe it would be sad or relieved."
"Just your little hooves can talk" Xu Zigui glared at Zidai with disgust, and didn't bother with them, "Hurry up and change my clothes and wash me"
"It's a rare day off, and the girl is going there so early?"
"Stupid girl," Red Sleeves came in with washing water, glanced at Zi Dai with a smile, and explained, "You forgot, news came from the Four Princes' Mansion in the middle of the night last night, saying that the Four Princes were unconscious, and they invited several imperial doctors from the palace."
Zi Dai then remembered, patted her head, and said with a smile: "I actually forgot such a big thing," said, looked at Yuerong, and said with a smile: "You go and deliver the letter, and leave it to us here."
Yuerong responded with a smile, took the letter and walked out, and while the red sleeves gave Xu Zi a clean face, he asked, "The girl will go to Fengqi Palace in a while?" β
"Naturally, I'm going" She usually went to ask for peace, but if she didn't go today, it would give people a signal that the abnormality is a demon
The master and servant were talking, but they saw Liu Lu hurriedly walking in from the door curtain, with a faint joy on his face, "Girl, hurry up, the fourth prince has already broken the fish porridge that the emperor is about to drink in the imperial study, it is said that after the fish porridge was broken on the ground, a wisp of white smoke rose from the ground, which was obviously poisonous, and the emperor was furious and was investigating the matter thoroughly."
"Oh?" Xu Zigui raised her eyebrows, she really didn't misunderstand Mo Qingyuan, "Isn't the fourth prince sick in the mansion?" Why did you suddenly appear in the Imperial Study? β
Liu Lu naturally knew that Xu Zigui wanted to ask the emperor why he didn't say anything when he saw Mo Qingyuan, and cooperated with Mo Qingyuan to send the imperial doctor to the Four Princes' Mansion, so he explained with a smile
"The four princes are looking into the imperial study, as soon as they see the emperor, they first kneel down and admit their mistakes, the emperor was stunned at first, or the four princes persuaded the emperor with a mouth"
"How?"
"What else can I say," Liu Lu smiled, "Naturally, it's telling the truth."
Xu Zigui also thought that Mo Qingyuan would use this trick, which was nothing more than kneeling in front of the emperor and kowtowing a few times, and then hugging the emperor's thighs and crying, Father, the sons know that they are wrong, the sons should not hide you, it's just that your little wives have bad intentions, and they actually poisoned the little daughter-in-law I just married to me, fortunately, I am expected to have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering, otherwise I will really die now, father, the sons and daughters have reflected on themselves, and the little wives are all ill-intentioned, so the father, You have to think about what you eat
The corners of Xu Zigui's mouth hooked and asked, "Has the emperor found out?" β
"Is it bad" Liu Lu smiled and put on a shawl for Xu Zigui, and helped Xu Zigui out of the side hall, "According to the imperial doctor, the poison in the food of the four princes is exactly the same as that of the emperor."
The corners of Xu Zigui's mouth hooked a hint of intriguing smile, "This is strange, there is such a coincidence in the world"
"Who said no, the emperor is now interrogating Concubine Xian Niangniang in Xiansi Palace, it is estimated that the queen will set up Xiansi Palace in a while."
Standing at the gate of the main hall of Anle Palace, the corners of Xu Zigui's mouth hooked slightly, "Then let's hurry up, lest after going to Fengqi Palace for a while, Niangniang will not be there...... Bai Zhi, are you princesses okay? (To be continued)
