"The queen mother's trap has already been set, I know, if I don't do what the queen mother says, I will not be able to live, but how can I take revenge on the mother, it is better to take advantage of the queen mother's bureau to get rid of him, and the big revenge will be avenged and I can be blinded by death, but I never thought that the truth would be like this, he is innocent." Qiao Yanyi's tears rained down.

Fu Qizheng clasped his fingers tightly on the table, already furious, if it weren't for Qiao Yanyi's transfer of flowers and trees, now he is in prison and is afraid that the Fu family is full of doors, and he can't help but be afraid for a while, the Queen Mother's plan is really vicious.

Qiao Yanyi suddenly knelt in front of Fu Qizheng and burst into tears: "Niangniang, please save him, I am willing to tell the truth, everything is my fault, I am not sorry to die." ”

Fu Qizheng shook his head lightly, and said helplessly: "The palace can't help the queen mother, it's not difficult to imagine that if you take the lead, it is equivalent to admitting that the talisman is what you take, and she will put all the sins on you, and then you can't argue, you are the person around the palace, and the palace may not be able to escape the involvement, the queen mother's plan can overturn the Fu family, and retreat can implicate the palace, I think it has been planning for a long time." ”

"Mother." Nian Jin'an knocked on the door.

"Come in."

"Niangniang, the slave maid inquired, when the talisman was sent to the Qianning Palace, it was found that a piece was missing, the emperor ordered a search, and the forbidden army Zhang Deputy Tong stopped Captain Fu in front of the palace gate to search to no avail, and then Ling Shizi and his wife wanted to leave the palace, and the forbidden army searched for the talisman from Ling Shizi, and arrested Ling Shizi."

"What about Xia Luanyi?" Fu Qizheng asked.

Nian Jinan said: "I heard that when Ling Shizi was arrested, the Xia family cried and begged to release him, but the forbidden army only arrested Ling Shizi alone, and the Xia family has left the palace. ”

"I hurt him, please save him." Qiao Yanyi kowtowed again.

Fu Qizheng leaned over to help Qiao Yanyi up, and said resolutely: "The Queen Mother is coming to our Fu family, even if you don't ask for the palace, the palace will never let the Queen Mother retreat, not to mention that Ling Shizi is making a mistake for his brother this time, and the palace will not sit idly by." ”

"What are you going to do?" Nian Jinan asked,

Fu Qizheng sat down slowly and sighed lightly: "Rong Bengong is so good to think about." He raised his eyes and looked at Qiao Yanyi again, "The Queen Mother will not let you go, and this palace will think of sending you out of the palace as soon as possible to avoid the limelight." ”

Qiao Yanyi worried: "But I'm the only one who knows, and no one can testify to the Queen Mother when I'm gone." ”

"This matter can only be avoided by the palace and then planned, otherwise it will fall into the queen mother's next policy, the reason why the queen mother chose you is precisely because you are a close confidant brought back to the palace by the palace, and you and the palace will be both prosperous and loss. But if you think that the Queen Mother will not dare to directly arrest you for questioning, she will pretend not to know, and wait and see what happens so as not to be involved. ”

"If the Queen Mother wants to retreat with her whole body, she will inevitably kill me, because I know too much, not only the military talisman." Qiao Yanyi smiled bitterly.

Fu Qizheng looked at Qiao Yanyi in confusion.

"I have seen Du Xirui put the tail in Concubine Zhen's tea, and I also know that it was the Queen Mother who really manipulated Du Xirui to marry the mother, and I also knew that the accident of the mother falling down was also done by the Queen Mother......"

Although the time has passed, the words are still like a fire in my heart, and it is difficult to let go of it for a long time.

Fu Qizheng stayed awake all night, put on a thin coat in the middle of the night, walked to the bookcase with a lamp, took three pieces of paper by the faint candlelight, took three pieces of paper, picked up the pen and wrote down the words "Fei, Wang, Xia" respectively, sat in front of the case, recalled all kinds of daylight, and meditated for a long time.

He stood up and took off the lampshade, and burned the letterhead with the word "Xia" written on it on the candle flame.

After getting up in the morning to dress up and change clothes, Nian Jin'an saw that Fu Qizheng did not have yesterday's worries between his eyebrows, so he asked: "Niangniang, does she have a way?" ”

Fu Qizheng stood in front of the window, looking at the autumn scenery outside the window, and smiled lightly: "Try it, if it happens, the palace will give the Queen Mother a big gift, in order to repay the Queen Mother's great kindness in cutting my Qin Fu's forces through the turmoil in the Ministry of Officials." Turning around and looking at Nian Jin'an, "But the key to this matter is still what the emperor thinks." ”

Outside the Qianning Palace, Emperor Zhiyuan was discussing with several ministers, and Fu Qizheng was waiting outside the palace.

"Niangniang is also here for Ling Shizi." Li Changhai said.

Fu Qizheng nodded, and then asked, "How is Ling Shizi now?" ”

"Ling Shizi is imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department, the emperor sent a servant to visit Ling Shizi yesterday, Ling Shizi refused to say anything, never mentioned the origin of the military talisman, and did not defend himself, I am afraid that it will be ...... if it continues like this" Li Changhai shook his head and sighed.

Ling Binwei would rather take on everything by herself than confess Qiao Yanyi, Fu Qizheng couldn't help but feel a little touched, but she could also breathe a sigh of relief at the moment, as long as Ling Binwei didn't confess Qiao Yanyi, the Queen Mother would never take the initiative to give it up, then no one would be able to find out about Qiao Yanyi's head.

After waiting for half an hour, several ministers came out of the hall and saluted Fu Qizheng, Fu Qizheng only recognized Xia Mingxu among them, and his expression was faintly nervous. Li Changhai entered the inside, and after a while, Fu Qizheng entered.

"See the Emperor." Fu Qizheng is blessed.

"Get up." Emperor Yuan was looking at the music without raising his head and said, "You are here to intercede for Ling Binwei?" ”

Fu Qizheng got up, lowered his eyes, and said gently: "When did the concubine ask the emperor for mercy?" ”

"And who are you?"

Fu Qizheng said: "The concubine can't come to see the emperor if she is fine?" ”

"Yesterday, I didn't enter outside the Qianning Palace, but now I will come here." Emperor Yuan said lightly.

Fu Qizheng was shocked, remembering that he met his brother outside the palace yesterday, so he sent his brother out of the palace, but he really didn't bother to come in and ask for peace, and he was so happy to ignore this for a long time that he smiled and lowered his head: "It's rare for a concubine to see my brother, so I ......."

"That's why you forgot about me."

"The emperor is reasonable, and the emperor didn't come to see the concubines, so he forgot about the concubines." Fu Qizheng complained, "The concubine knows that the emperor has been busy with government affairs recently, and the important matter has come to a juncture, the concubine does not dare to disturb, now that this incident has happened, the emperor must be troubled, and the concubine naturally can't sit still, Ling Shizi's identity is special, the emperor is not only worried about the truth of the matter, but also the Ling Guo Mansion, the concubine came today to share the emperor's worries and go to the Ling Guo Mansion to appease the eldest princess." ”

Emperor Yuan was pleased, put down the folds, got up and walked, and said: "I have this plan, I originally wanted Jiayi to appease, since you have spoken, it is more reassuring for you to go." ”

Fu Qizheng smiled slightly and looked at Emperor Yuan: "The emperor doesn't blame the concubines?" ”

Emperor Yuan looked at Fu Qizheng, pretending to be cold and arrogant, raising his hand and bending his fingers to scratch the tip of his nose: "If you do this, you will be guilty." ”

got the answer, Fu Qizheng didn't dare to delay for a moment, and set off out of the palace, and the palace maid who accompanied him brought Qiao Yanyi with him.

"This palace and my aunt enter the Ling Mansion, you stay in the carriage, change this clothes, and when you return, someone will pick you up and go to the Fu Mansion to take refuge for a while, and when this matter is understood, the palace will try to justify letting you out of the palace and returning you to freedom." Fu Qizheng said in the carriage.

"Thank you, mother." Qiao Yan Yi said.

Ling's Mansion, the forbidden army guarded it layer by layer, the gate was tightly covered, Nian Jin'an took out a token and showed it, the door of the mansion opened, and Fu Qizheng walked into Ling's Mansion. Looking around, the magnificent Ling Mansion was a little cold at the moment.

"Say, how could a good soldier rungie run to Wei'er."

"Mother, I really don't know."

"Don't call me mother, our Ling Mansion can't afford to pay for Shangshu's daughter, it's your father's thing, don't you know? No wonder Wei'er doesn't like you, he has long expected that your Xia family will hurt him sooner or later, the old man is angry, if Wei'er has three long and two short, your Xia family should not think about it. ”

As early as in the courtyard, I heard the movement in the front hall, and Xiao Pingzi said: "Concubine Aya has arrived." ”

The hall was quiet, and a woman in fancy dress came out with a few slaves, and then Xia Luanyi also appeared in front of the door, wiping her tears, looking a little embarrassed.

Fu Qizheng estimated that the woman should be the eldest princess Zhao Minluo, so he owed a debt and called: "The eldest princess." ”

Zhao glanced at Fu Qizheng, looked at it carefully, and asked lightly, "Who are you?" ”

Seeing this, the mother-in-law next to her leaned into Zhao's ear and said: "Princess, this is the emperor's favorite concubine Niangniang, the daughter of Fu University." ”

"It turned out to be Concubine Aya's mother, it was my rudeness, please be inside." Zhao changed his previous domineering attitude, and wept as he spoke, raising his hand to wipe his tears with his sleeve.

Fu Qizheng stepped forward to help the Zhao family into the house together, and comforted as he walked: "Don't worry, princess, everything is fine with Ling Shizi." ”

Zhao sobbed: "It's all locked up in prison, how good can it be." ”

Fu Qizheng helped Zhao to sit down, and he also sat aside. Zhao sighed: "I am the adopted daughter of Taizu, and I am not the emperor's aunt after all, no matter how much I hurt Qi Che back then, now he is still ruthless in dealing with Wei'er, and he also sealed the door of my Ling Mansion." ”

"The princess is too careful, the emperor cares about the eldest princess, and this time he specially asked the concubines to come to visit."

Zhao looked at Fu Qizheng and said: "Niangniang is the daughter of a scholar, so the daughter of the Prime Minister Qin is your mother, I still have some friendship with your mother, and I also hugged you when you were a child." ”

Fu Qizheng smiled: "The princess has a good memory. ”

"Only girls like Niangniang can be called famous ladies, and those girls from small families are also worthy of entering the door of my Ling Mansion." Zhao glanced at Xia Luanyi absently.

Fu Qizheng also looked at Xia Luanyi, who was burying her head and sobbing slightly.

"Alas, Niangniang must help my family Wei'er, I am such a son, if I am harmed by those people with individual ulterior motives, how can I live." Zhao said and wiped back his tears.

"Don't worry, princess, there is something strange about this matter, and the emperor will definitely return Ling Shizi's innocence."

Zhao was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Fu Qizheng and said, "Niangniang also knows that Wei'er was wronged?" ”

Fu Qizheng didn't say it explicitly, glanced at Xia Luanyi, and said to the Zhao family: "Can the princess allow the concubine and the young lady to borrow a step to talk." ”

Xia Luanyi heard what Fu Qizheng said, raised his head and looked at Fu Qizheng in astonishment.

Zhao looked at Xia Luanyi, seemed to be more suspicious, and nodded: "Okay, Niangniang and her will go to the study to talk." ”

Fu Qizheng bowed slightly, got up and smiled at Xia Luanyi, raised his hand and said, "Young lady, please." ”
