Chapter 097: Coveting Beauty?
The Neutralization Festival of the twenty-fifth year of Hongtai was later considered an ominous day.
The fire in the prison burned all night that night, and was extinguished at dawn the next day, and the entire prison was burned to the ground. In the scorched black ruins, dozens of charred corpses were dug up, plus smoked to death, burned to the point of dying and hanging for life, a total of more than 200 casualties according to statistics.
A few hours ago, they were still alive celebrating the Festival of Neutrality.
A fire engulfed countless lives.
And most of them are innocent people who have been affected.
The source of the fire began in the third row of the C cell, which is the row of cells where Xia Chuqi was held.
When Zhao Zhu hurried to the prison with people, the fire was already uncontrollable, and all the traces that had happened were also destroyed in the fire, and there was no way to find out whether there were traces of outsiders breaking into the prison.
It's just that afterwards, on a corpse that was burned beyond recognition, a string of southern red beads was found. It was Chinese New Year's Eve, and the queen mother specially ordered people to build it, and the princes and princesses each had a string.
Many people know that the string of southern red beads carved with "Zhong Kui" was given to Chu Qi by Zhao Zhu.
When the news reached the Qianqing Palace, the old emperor who lost the crown prince in one day and was forced to the palace by King Ning was very angry, including those Janissaries and palace people who participated in the change of King Ning's palace, all together = one = this = read = novel xstxt killed hundreds of officials involved.
In addition, Emperor Hongtai also severely punished Zhao Kai, the king of Su who was in charge of the forbidden army in the imperial city, and ordered him to lead the filial piety mausoleum after the prince's funeral and go to the southern foot of the Purple Mountain to guard the mausoleum.
Compared to Zhao Xi, who was imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion, he was able to get out of his shell easily.
In fact, everyone in the court knows that King Su and King Ning are the closest, and it is impossible for the palace mutiny to be without the sixth child. But the old emperor's mind can be understood by everyone. After all, it's his own son, is it true that he will be beheaded? Dismissal and transfer are also punishments, at least he has no chance to save the position from now on.
It was the most unquiet night in the history of Dayan.
One day later, the matter of the fire in the prison was counted, and the old emperor once again granted amnesty to the world, in order to show the emperor's grace and reverence for the common people. In order to mourn the crown prince, the soldiers and civilians in Beijing were all dressed in plain clothes for seven days, and the common people were not allowed to marry, regardless of whether the soldiers and civilians were not allowed to have fun for 13 days. Theater troupes, green houses, and tea houses are all closed.
The big things are also the things of the heavenly family.
In addition to having to abide by it, the common people are nothing more than a breeder and spreader of rumors.
Some people say, why did the prince die, there will be a natural disaster and a fire? That's because the prince of Jin has won so many battles and made so many achievements, but the saint wants him to be exiled to the Beiping Mansion where birds don't, so he was condemned and punished by God.
Some people also say that there must be something strange about the death of the prince, maybe it is the poison of King Ning, that King Ning is not a master of dissipation, and forced the palace and usurped the throne, and now he has been secretly beheaded by the old emperor, and many people say that they heard the screams in the middle of the night.
Some people also said that the soldiers and horses of the three major battalions in the suburbs of Beijing were secretly mobilized that night, and something big must have happened in the palace. Maybe the person who died was not the crown prince at all, but the old emperor today, but he was just mourning in secret......
Overnight, there was a lot of disagreement.
But no matter how the rumors spread, no matter how the common people talk about it, there is a big matter related to the country's capital on the court -- the prince is dead, and the country has no prince.
For that supreme position, I don't know how much bloody rain will be set off.
Starting from the second day of the Zhonghe Festival, the whole world mourns the prince.
Outside the Fengtian Gate, the princes and princesses, civil and military officials, and the internal and external wives wore filial piety clothes to cry for the prince, and the scene was extremely grand and grand.
After the funeral, Emperor Hongtai issued an edict of mourning to the whole country, and at the same time ordered the envoy to honor the temple number for the crown prince Zhao Zhe, and only told the suburban temple community. Since then, the prince who has been the prince all his life and did not wait for his father to die and become the emperor has become a symbol in the historical records - known as "Prince Yide" in history.
A life has passed, a palace change has ended, and a fire has caused countless lives to pass away together. However, in the history books, there is no record of Zhao Xi, the king of Ning, and Zhao Kai, the king of Su, forcing the palace, nor is there a record of the "Prince Yide" dying of bayberry disease or poisoning.
As for the cause of the prince's death, the historian only summed it up in four words with a few strokes - "the wind and cold are incurable". As for the fire in which more than 100 people died in the prison, the account is even more brief, and it is only pushed to the old God in heaven who is always open-eyed, but has no way to defend himself, which is called a "natural disaster".
However, although the historian's brushstrokes do not remember historical events, he seems to be quite interested in Fengyue, in addition to these, he also remembered a small anecdote of His Royal Highness the King of Jin - "In the twenty-fourth year of Hongtai, on the way back to Beijing of King Jin, he was fortunate to have a woman in Jincheng Mansion, who was pregnant for the first time and died in the fire. β
The matter has been revealed.
The people of later generations will no longer know how much turmoil and waves were set off that day, and no one will ever know the bloody storm that happened in the Qianqing Palace and the Heavenly Prison that night.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Seven days later.
The haze over Jingshi Ying Tianfu has not dissipated.
In the chicken and goose alley in the city.
Zheng Erbao was dressed in civilian clothes, cautiously following behind Zhao Zhu, and he didn't dare to come out.
Since the fire in the prison seven days ago, the master of his family has even fewer words. No, except for telling him to do things, he, the master, has not said a word of nonsense. To say that his mood has not changed much compared to before, except for his cold face and no expression when he was cut for the crown prince, he is no different from other princes and grandchildren.
Three days ago, he resumed the early dynasty, he still got up at the end of the day, and went to wait outside the Fengmen Hall early in the morning, without revealing the slightest abnormality. It's just that Zheng Erbao has served him for many years, how can he not know the discomfort in his heart?
He's a man, even if he has a stiff face and has to straighten his back.
As soon as the master of his family came back today, he took him without saying a word. No, I went to the East Palace halfway to pick up the master who followed behind my butt - Zhao Mianhuan, the king of Yihuai who was not stunned, and the three of them arrived at the door of the small courtyard in this chicken and goose alley together.
On the low wall of the courtyard, a cluster of paper-tied white flowers poked out with a bamboo pole, and at first glance it was the home of a deceased relative. Zheng Erbao didn't know why his master and son came, but after being instructed, he obediently stepped forward and knocked on the door.
"Is anyone home?"
Soon, there was the sound of footsteps inside. The narrow door full of cavities "creaked" and was pulled open with a lingering sound. The woman who opened the door was wrapped in a plain turban, about forty years old, her face was already wrinkled, and her eyes were red like two swollen buns.
She looked at the three brightly dressed men in front of her and was stunned for a moment before asking.
"Officials, who are you looking for?"
Zhao Tuo squinted slightly, glanced at the woman standing at the door, and gave Zheng Erbao a look, but pursed his mouth and said nothing. Zheng Erbao nodded, hurriedly handed over the bag of silver that he had prepared before, and answered with a sharp voice according to the instructions of his master.
"Auntie, this is our family...... No, this is the one hundred taels of silver I owe to you. Didn't something happen to him? I don't think it's appropriate to owe it, so I specially give it back to your family......"
As soon as she heard Ding Er's name, the woman's eyes turned even redder.
"Is there such a thing? My son was ...... I didn't talk about it. β
"Yes, yes." Zheng Erbao smiled and narrowed his eyes, and handed over the silver bag again.
The woman reflexively stretched out her hand, her fingertips just touched the money bag, and it seemed like a hot hand, she retracted in a panic, and her eyes drooped, "I'm afraid the official remembers wrongly, my family has never been very rich, where did my son get a hundred taels to lend to others?" I can't take this money, I. β
Looking at the patches on her clothes, and then looking at the shabby desolation in the yard without superfluous household goods, Zheng Erbao could guess that the family was very poor with his eyes closed. But the poor still have such backbone, but he didn't expect it. When he handed the money up again, his tone was a little more sincere.
"Auntie, you can't be wrong. Hehe, how could I be wrong about owe money? β
looked at the three of them suspiciously, but the woman shrank her hand but was very stubborn, and refused to accept it, "No, no, no, my son must not have any money to lend you, you must be mistaken...... My son has been on an errand for a few months, and the most money he got back was the bereavement from the imperial court......"
"Auntie......" Zheng Erbao raised his voice and was a little anxious.
But the woman shook her head, and reflexively closed the door.
"I can't, I can't ask for ......"
"Auntie-" Zhao Zhu, who had been silent, called out to her when she saw this, took out a blackened southern red bead from her arms, shook it in front of her, and said in a low voice, "This was found in your son." He sold this to me when he was alive, and I paid a hundred taels, and I didn't have any money to give at that time, and I owed him. Now that the man is gone, he cannot pay his debts. β
Hearing him say this, and glancing at the burnt beads again, the woman finally believed it, and took the most silver coin she had ever seen in her life with trembling hands, and two strings of tears rolled straight down.
"You are really good people, my son's life is miserable, his father went half a year ago, he took over his father's jailer's errand, and it was only four months before he encountered such a natural disaster...... It's really eyeless......"
It can be seen that she was hit hard by the loss of her husband and child, and she cried so much that she choked up and was miserable, and she summoned the big yellow dog that was sleeping in the yard all the time, and kept barking at the door.
The yellow dog barked fiercely, but laughed at the fool who was playing with his fingers with the pestle.
"Rhubarb!"
He remembered that when he was in Liunian Village in the past, the rhubarb at home came.
After shouting, he walked over and was about to grab the dog's head, but was stopped by Zhao Zhu.
"Do what?"
The fool is a little aggrieved, "rhubarb ......"
Zheng Erbao was also scared enough, "Your Highness, be careful that he bites you." β
The fool looked at him in confusion, "Rhubarb, it won't bite me." β
After that, he wanted to touch the dog again, but unfortunately, the dog was indeed not his rhubarb, and when he saw him approaching, he immediately pounced, and it was thanks to Zhao Zhu that he stopped it, so that the fool was spared the pain of a meal.
"Whoa..."
The dog continued to bark......
The fool was probably homesick, and when he looked at the yellow dog, he burst into tears.
Seeing that the woman was only crying, Zhao Zhu frowned, didn't say anything more, threw a look at Zheng Erbao, and dragged the fool to turn around and leave. All the way out of the alley, the fool still lowered his head, only glanced at Zhao Zhu from time to time, and didn't dare to say anything.
waited until he got into the carriage parked at the mouth of the alley, thinking that he was going to be sent back to the East Palace, and once he returned to the East Palace, he couldn't see Zhao Zhu for a long time, so he mustered up his courage.
"Uncle Nineteen, where did you hide my daughter-in-law?"
Now the fool temporarily lives in the East Palace, and is still under the care of the Liu family. The Liu clan should have been implicated because of the previous offering of the "fake tiger talisman" to King Ning, but the old emperor remembered that she had taken care of the emperor's eldest grandson for more than ten years, and there was no subjective malice in the matter of the palace change, so he did not pursue it. Under Liu's teaching, the fool already knew some identities, and also knew that Zhao Zhu was his nineteenth uncle, but these things were not important to him, he only cared about where his little daughter-in-law went.
Listening to the fool's annoyed "Xingshi asks for guilt", Zhao Zhu's face darkened, "She's dead." β
"Ahh
"If you lie, she won't die."
Zhao Jun rubbed his temples with one hand, didn't look at him, and only said lightly, "Didn't they tell you?" She died in the fire. β
The fool pursed his mouth and grunted unhappily.
"They said it was your daughter-in-law who died, not mine."
"......" glanced at him, Zhao Zhu obviously didn't want to talk to him anymore.
But the fool finally caught him today, how can he be confused?
These days, he has seen Zhao Zhu several times, although everyone says that His Highness the Nineteenth cannot be provoked, but he is no longer as afraid of Zhao Zhu as before, "Uncle Nineteen, I'll live with you, okay?" β
Zhao Jun raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Why?" β
The fool lowered his head, half of his face was flushed, and he said a little embarrassedly, "There are too many little ladies in the palace, and they all want to sleep with me." I don't like them, it's annoying......"
That's right......
Zhao Zhu's face darkened suddenly, but Zheng Erbao couldn't help laughing, and laughed out loud. But thinking about such a day, it is really not suitable for him to laugh, and he pursed his mouth again.
"What are you laughing at?" The fool lifted the curtain and said, "If you like it, I'll give them all to you, okay?" Let them sleep with you. β
This fool, who has been the emperor and grandson for a few days, already knows that he can be some masters. But he gave those little ladies in the courtyard to a eunuch, which is too cruel, right?
The poor Erbao father-in-law turned pale, and quickly closed his mouth, as if he had never appeared.
The fool who hurt people but didn't know anything about it, moved around in the carriage, moved and moved, it can be seen that Zhao Zhu is still sitting there seriously, ignoring him at all, and he can't help but sigh before he says leisurely, "Why don't I tell you the truth?" β
Zhao Jun frowned, "What?" β
pursed his lips, and the fool said sourly, "I want to live with you, I want to guard you, I'm afraid that you will find my little daughter-in-law, and hide it for me and won't give it to me." β
Slanted a glance at the fool, and seeing his serious face, Zhao Tuo couldn't help but rub his forehead with a headache, and told him seriously, "Mianhuan, your daughter-in-law is dead, and you don't have a daughter-in-law anymore." In a few days, your imperial grandfather will point you to a family business. β
"I don't want it!"
The fool was very angry, and looked at him with wide eyes, "Those little ladies are all at your disposal, I just want my little daughter-in-law, you give it back to me, it's you who lost it for me, I'll look for you." β
"I said your daughter-in-law died."
"Your daughter-in-law is dead! Mine is not dead. β
ββ¦β¦β
I was stunned that a person like Zhao Zun was so wise and wise, and when he met a fool who couldn't clean up, he was also upset. Rubbing his forehead again with a headache, he pursed his lips and ignored the fool.
"Uncle Nineteen ......"
When the fool saw that he seemed to be really angry, his attitude softened again.
"Are you angry that I said the wrong thing?"
"Nope."
"Then let's go and get my daughter-in-law back, okay?"
He felt that he had lowered his requirements, and looked at Zhao Zhu very proudly, his eyes lit up and brightened. But Zhao Zhu didn't know whether to cry or laugh, his original gloomy mood was so troubled by him that he couldn't get out of his anger, "Daughter-in-law can't be separated, understand?" β
Pursing the corners of his mouth and thinking about it, he coaxed the fool again, "Why don't you buy a big yellow dog for Uncle Nineteen?" β
exchanging a big yellow dog for someone's daughter-in-law is ruthless enough to think about.
Sure enough, the fool gave him a very regretful expression, "Nineteenth Master, you are a fool, right?" Don't say I won't agree, even if it's a fool can't agree? A daughter-in-law can change a lot of things, and she can also have a son, can a big yellow dog give birth to a son? β
ββ¦β¦β
Zhao Zhu was once again defeated by the fool's nonsensical words, but he had a trick to cure him. Although the fool was awkward and reluctant along the way, Zhao Zhu still sent him to the gate of the East Palace, and waited for the management eunuch of the East Palace to come and pick him up, and then returned to the Jin Palace.
As soon as he closed the door of the study, Chen Jing asked with some hesitation.
"Your Highness, is the emperor's eldest grandson safe in the East Palace? His identity, after all, sensitive? β
"It's safe in the East Palace." Zhao Zhu responded to him casually, his tone was lazy and he didn't have much strength, "It is precisely because of his sensitive identity that Mianze will take better care of him." Think about it, if something happens to him in the East Palace, how can he stop other people's mouths? Besides, he's just a fool, could it be that His Majesty will really put the country in his hands? Mianze is not stupid and will not move him. β
After listening to his analysis, Chen Jing probably understood.
"Your Highness is right."
After hesitating for a moment, seeing that he was "stimulated" by a fool, but there were more words than before, Chen Jing held back his curiosity for seven days, and finally couldn't suppress it and asked.
"Your Highness, why is the tiger talisman in the hand of King Rining in the palace fake? The tiger talisman was stolen by Chu Qi, and later fell into the hands of the Liu family, but when did you replace it, why didn't your subordinates know? β
Zhao Zun's face was expressionless, he thought about it for a while, and sat down in front of the chessboard.
"The real tiger talisman has never been lost."
Ren is a person like Chen Jing, who has always been calm, and he was a little stunned for a while.
"Haven't you lost it?"
"Yes. At the beginning, what Chu Qi took was fake. β
"My subordinates understood." I have to say that even if Chen Jing has been with him for all these years, he really can't figure out this master's mind at all. Do ordinary people prepare a fake tiger talisman to carry with them? It's really a precaution against burning.
After sighing, Chen Jing saw that he began to fiddle with the chess pieces again, and couldn't help but cough lightly worriedly, "Your Highness, you haven't closed your eyes for three days, go and rest for a while." β
"It's okay, you go down."
"Your Royal Highness......" Seeing him like this, Chen Jing's guilt came up again, knelt on one knee on the ground, and said with a stalk around his neck, "It's all the fault of my subordinates, the prison broke out on fire that day, if it wasn't for the fact that his subordinates were shot illusory by Jinyiwei, it wouldn't have been too late to ......."
"It's none of your business!" Zhao Jun waved his hand, "You go down and let this king be quiet for a while." β
Chen Jing swallowed the words that he wanted to say again. In fact, after following him for so many years, Chen Jing has never seen him like this. Although it is no different on the surface, but a person who can't sleep well all day long, where can his body be better?
"Your Highness, I'll take someone out to find her, and I'll definitely find her back."
"No need to look for it!" Zhao Zhu slashed lightly, and his tone was low and deep.
"Your Highness......" His answer was completely unexpected by Chen Jing. Slightly stunned, he continued to persuade unwillingly, "The meal you sent Meizi that day, according to the shrewdness of Medical Officer Chu, you will definitely be able to discover the mystery in it." Since she has eaten it, she must also know your highness's hard work, and she will not be angry with you. Why didn't His Highness get her back and make it clear with her, wouldn't it be fine? β
Zhao Zhu listened quietly and did not say anything.
It's just that the chess piece in his hand has never fallen.
It took a long time before I heard him speak lightly.
"Wait outside."
"Yes......"
Chen Jing looked at his lonely figure sitting on the chair and sighed lightly.
"My subordinates are at the door, and I ...... if something calls me"
Chen Jing went out, and Zhao Zun sat in front of the chessboard, the statue generally motionless.
The study was extremely quiet, and even Zheng Erbao stopped when he wanted to come over to add water, and retreated quietly. After being silent for a while, Zhao Zhu finally dropped the chess pieces, and as usual, he played the game between the black and the white. It's just that in today's chess, he didn't move as calmly as usual, and every move seemed to have been thought about for a long time...... It was as if he had suddenly lost his enthusiasm for the game of chess, which he was most passionate about, and in addition to exhaustion, his whole person seemed to fall into endless desolation......
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Shhh
Xia Chuqi snorted uncomfortably and opened his eyes slowly.
Where is this?
In front of him was a lightly hung bed, soft and gorgeous, and a scent like magnolia floated from the nose, which wafted from the incense burner in the corner of the house. It seemed to be dark outside, and there was a faint candle in the room, and the light inside was not very bright.
And she was lying on a large and delicate carved bed.
Her last memory is a fire......
In the life-devouring firelight, some people were running around, some were shouting for help in the cell, and some were screaming heartbreakingly. She didn't move, leaning against the wall and thinking it was an oven. She was a lazy person, and at the time of the fire, it was strange that she was really too lazy to escape.
Now that I think about it, she was also very strange.
Why are you lazy even for life?
Afterward...... What's going on?
Yes, the smoke was so thick that she fainted.
Could it be that now she is unlucky and has crossed again?
Which girl's body will she be reborn in this time, and what kind of handsome prince will she meet?
Laughing mockingly, she was about to go down to the ground to check on her research, when she heard a very rhythmic footsteps outside the door, and soon the carved wooden door was pushed open, and just as her heart hung in her throat, the man appeared, but it was an acquaintance.
"Finally woke up?" The voice was soft and emotional, it sounded like it would hook the soul, full of demonic energy, but it made Xia Chuqi's belly hold back before finally find a place to vent.
Sitting back on the edge of the bed, she glared angrily.
"Are you sick? Disturb the good thing of Lao Tzu's reincarnation, you will not die well. β
Dongfang Qingxuan was coldly scolded by her, and was stunned for some reason, but he was not annoyed, with a bright smile, he pulled a chair to sit in front of her, and asked with a smile.
"I didn't expect Miss Seven to wake up after seven days of sleep, and she is still so energetic?"
Seven days?
This amount frightened the seventh day of the beginning of summer.
Looking at the enchanting Oriental demon in front of her, the thoughts in her mind turned and turned, and she forgot to close her mouth when she opened her mouth, "Can't you?" I slept for seven days? Seven-day ...... My mother, thank you, I have to go back. With that, she jumped out of bed to look for her shoes.
But if a person has been lying in bed for too long, where is the strength to get out of bed just now?
Her body was weak, and as soon as her foot touched the ground, the whole person fell to the ground.
A red shadow swept over very quickly, and with a flick of her wrist, she fell into an embrace full of fragrance, and above her head was the soft and intoxicating voice of Dongfang Qingxuan.
"Miss Seven, I still like to give hugs so much."
"I'm going to vote for you big-headed ghost?" Xia Chuqi raised his head, looked at the delicate handsome face in front of him, and suddenly bent his lips again, smiling so slyly, "Dadu Dudu, I haven't told you something, right?" Every time I look at your flower-like face, I want to ......"
Her voice became smaller and quieter the more she spoke, and the more ambiguous she spoke, but when she said this, she stopped......
Dongfang Qingxuan smiled lightly, "How do you want to?" β
His right hand clenched into a fist, and Xia Chuqi took advantage of his inattention to slam it over.
"I really want to fight so that you can't be handsome anymore. Dislike! β
According to her assumption, Dongfang Qingxuan should have avoided her weak punch very easily, but he never thought that he would not dodge or dodge, and took an old punch from her with his beautiful and handsome face.
"Hey, that's ruthlessβ"
Xia Chuqi's fists hurt, and he was stunned for a moment, only to see him "puff" a mouthful of lip blood, and looked over with a smile, "Miss Seven, flirting is not like this." You won't be light? β
Scolded in a low voice, "You have blisters in your brain"? She snorted in displeasure, straightened up, and looked around the room again.
"What about Zhao Bottle? Aren't you two in cahoots? There he is? β
Dongfang Qingxuan helped her sit on the edge of the bed, and only then did she pull out a plain white scarf, gently wiped the corners of his bewitching lips, and smiled loudly, "You really have no conscience, you just beat this seat, don't ask how this seat hurts, but you think about other men, it's really sad." β
glanced at him, Xia Chuqi clasped his arms with both hands.
"Tell me, what the hell do you want to do?"
Throwing away the blood-stained scarf, Dongfang Qingxuan sat down slowly, "This seat was kind enough to save you from the fire, why don't you have to say thank you first, and then continue to talk about the rest?" β
"Thank you?"
Xia Chuqi chuckled, squinted the corners of his eyes, and looked at him from head to toe with his disdainful gaze, before he said slowly, "Your heart has long been gnawed by the big black dog, and the fire in the prison that day may have been put by you." How can I thank you? I want to kill you. β
Dongfang Qingxuan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Why don't you say that the fire was put by His Royal Highness the King of Jin?" β
Pursed his mouth, Xia Chuqi sneered at him with disdain, and said with a teasing smile, "Governor, next time you have to provoke trouble, trouble and change tricks." Go, Zhao Bottle, he will set fire? Cheng, then let's make a bet, if the fire is set by him, I am you. Otherwise, how about you being my son? β
Such a bet?
"It's vulgar!" Glancing at her critically, Dongfang Qingxuan smiled mockingly, "Miss Seven, haven't you seen the things on the Neutralization Festival clearly?" You just believe in him like that? β
"That's nature." Xia Chuqi suddenly narrowed his eyes, sometimes calm in his eyes, sometimes adding a hint of wind and waves. After hesitating for a long time, she suppressed the emotions in her heart, teased Dongfang Qingxuan half-lightly, and continued, "The person who set the fire must want me to die...... He? Never wanted me to die. β
"That's not for sure." The pale amber light in Dongfang Qingxuanfeng's eyes was still crystal clear in the firelight, "If you are going to die, he can fly with that Jingyi County Lord......"
"If I don't die, he can also live and fly ......" Xia Chuqi interrupted his words, handed him a sarcastic expression of "you are brain-dead", a pair of black and oily eyes rolled around the bones, and suddenly bent his lips and smiled, descripting the man in front of him who did not look like a mortal thing, and asked with a grin, "Dadu, I really can't guess who you are." If it was you who set the fire, you saved me again. If you hadn't set the fire, who would it be? Hehe, can you tell me, what are your plans, you kidnapped me, you won't just covet my beauty, right? β
"Beauty?" Dongfang Qingxuan seemed to be taken aback, and curled his lips, "Miss Seven, if you want to see the beauty, you only need to look in the mirror." In the whole world, I have never seen a more beautiful woman than me. β
Xia Chuqi shrugged his shoulders, pretended to be cold, and made a "vomit" gesture before raising his head again, looking at him with a smile and asking, "That's not true, what about your beautiful sister, Miss Amur, isn't she as beautiful as you?" β
Hearing her ask about Amur, Dongfang Qingxuan's eyes had an undercurrent.
After hesitating for a moment, he smiled easily again, "Beauty is beautiful, but it can't compare to me?" β
"Hey, so confident!? That's okay, you're beautiful, you're beautiful, your whole family is beautiful. That Miss Ben asked the Oriental beauty for the third time, what did you bring me out for? I'm reincarnated well, what are you not looking for a beating? β
Her words that she never said in the right tone caused Dongfang Qingxuan to smile slightly, and the sparkle in the phoenix eyes was even more sparkling, "Miss Seven, this seat has long said that we will have a day of cooperation, and now, when the time comes, are you willing to cooperate with me?" β
Cooperate?
Occasion?
Xia Chuqi sneered impatiently, "Work with a big pervert, unless I'm crazy." β
"Miss Seven, you have no choice." Dongfang Qingxuan chuckled and continued, "If you want to be fair for the Wei State, the crown prince can't help you, and the prince of Jin doesn't want to help you anymore, and you have lost even the only identity that can get close to the palace." From now on, the airtight palace door will be lost to you. How are you going to get revenge? Is it possible, just by making a few firearms, you can blast open the gate of the palace, or can you pull a rebel army and defeat Dayan's country? Miss Seven, stop dreaming. β
"......" Xia Chuqi rolled his eyes again, "Who told you that Lao Tzu has to take revenge?" β
"If you don't take revenge, why are you approaching the prince? If you don't take revenge, why do you want that parrot? If you don't take revenge, why don't you go to Beiping Mansion with the prince of Jin? If you don't take revenge, why are you trying to find Cui Liangbi? β
Every time he asked a rhetorical question, Xia Chuqi's heart twitched more.
It seems that Jinyi Wei ...... Sure enough, it lives up to its name.
In this way, Dongfang Qingxuan knows everything about her every move these days?
The feeling of being completely watched was very bad, she swallowed her saliva, her big eyes turned smartly, and her gaze stabbed at Dongfang Qingxuan like a hook, "You have a little reason." However, listening to the tone of the Grand Governor, if you want to cooperate with me, the enemy is a friend based on the enemy? Isn't that why you also have a grudge against Dayan? β
Dongfang Qingxuan smiled lightly, not showing the slightest edge, "You don't have to know this." β
Lazily sighed, the corners of Xia Chuqi's lips were full of smiles, "Let's hear it, what kind of blood feud do you have, I can also be happy?" Besides......" After a pause, her bright eyes looked at him curiously and raised her eyebrows, "If you don't tell me, how can you cooperate with me?" β
"How to cooperate...... Dongfang Qingxuan dragged out his soft voice and smiled brightly, "You'll know." I promise you that as long as you are willing to cooperate with me, I will not only help you rehabilitate the Xia family, but also let you enjoy endless glory and wealth......"
"Stop, stop, stop......" Xia Chuqi's head was crooked, and his hands made a "stop" gesture, "Dadudu, do you think I look like a person who is greedy for wealth and nobility?" β
"It's too similar!" Dongfang Qingxuan nodded affirmatively.
"Well, you're right." Xia Chuqi smiled, sighed helplessly, and looked at him slyly, "Then you have to tell me the content of the cooperation, what do you want me to do?" β
Dongfang Qingxuan pulled down the corners of his lips that were as pink as flowers, and paused word by word, "Restore your identity." β
He said it very lightly, but when it fell on Xia Chuqi's ears, it was tantamount to a muffled thunder cover.
Startled, she turned her heart several times before she asked uncertainly, "You mean?" β
With a flick of the gorgeous sleeve robe, Dongfang Qingxuan stood up slowly, took two steps forward, and the smile on his face was even more beautiful, "This seat wants you to be the seventh lady who returns to the Wei State Mansion." β
Xia Chuqi raised his head and looked at him without blinking, "Dadudu, do you still want to say, next, let me marry Zhao Mianze, and when he becomes the emperor, I can still be the queen of the world?" Then before that, it's best to conceive a child of yours and help you kill the king and seize the throne, or directly let your child be the emperor and rewrite the history of Dayan...... I'm going to go there, that's too bloody, isn't it? β
Hearing her crackle and talk a lot, Dongfang Qingxuan couldn't help but chuckle.
"Miss Seven's suggestion is good, I like it very much."
"You think it's beautiful!"
Xia Chuqi finished yelling, and glanced at him again, just in time to meet his soul-hooking smiling eyes. The skin of that goods is so good, the texture is as smooth as white jade, and there is no flaw in it, coupled with a tall nose, tender pink lips, and a pair of narrow phoenix eyes, every move is a demagogic style.
Damn, it's really wicked.
If it weren't for the fact that her heart had already cultivated very hard, I was afraid that she would have been fascinated by this glance.
Coughing heavily, she leaned back slightly, keeping the most "healthy" distance, glaring at him unpleasantly.
"Hey, pay attention to your appearance, let's talk about something, don't use beauty tricks at every turn? Girl, I never eat this set! β
With a light "heh", Dongfang Qingxuanfeng's eyes narrowed, and the corners of his thin lips pursed out a shallow arc, and the smile was as refreshing as a spring breeze, "Miss Seven, think about it carefully, how is the proposal of this seat?" You are Miss Seven, and you are honest and righteous in avenge your father's grievances. And this seat ...... Will definitely help you. β
Xia Chuqi looked at Dongfang Qingxuan with a bewitching smile, "There will be no pie in the sky, say, your conditions." β
"The conditions will be asked for from you, don't worry."
"...... on me? There was nothing of value except myself. β
Slightly retracting the smile on his face, Dongfang Qingxuan's eyes darkened, "Miss Seven, this seat said that your value is not something you can measure......
Value?
Again, he spoke of her worth.
What is the value of her? Looking at Dongfang Qingxuan, who looked indistinguishable in front of him, Xia Chuqi was a little confused, and then laughed again, "Dadu Dudu, I just woke up, my brain is not very active, and I don't want to promise you any conditions." Wait until I eat, drink, play and rest, and then decide whether I want to cooperate with you, okay? You know that a person's worth depends on her attitude, and since you need me so much, wouldn't it seem like I'm cheap if I don't take Joe in front of you? β
"Miss Seven is reasonable, and I like it very much."
Dongfang Qingxuan smiled slightly, and his eyes fell on her thin body, "This seat gives you time to think about it." After a pause, he took out a waist card from his arms and handed it to her, a pair of demonic eyes narrowed slightly, "This is for you." β
Looking at the black waist card, Xia Chuqi took it and checked it in the palm of his hand, feeling heavy and weighty, while turning over to look at the words on the waist card, she turned over and looked at Dongfang Qingxuan's profound eyes.
"What is this?"
"With this waist card, you are the secret spy of Jinyiwei."
Xia Chuqi gasped and flipped over the front of the waist card, "Secret spy? β
