Chapter 349: Seize the Moment
Although the case was concluded quickly, it was not Qi ||Mo still deliberately took leave from Emperor Qinglong, and stayed in Lang Zhai for one more day, waiting for Gong Xiru and Bai Lang to meet him, because once he returned to the palace, if the three of them wanted to meet again, it would not be so easy.
It wasn't until after noon that Gong Xiru and Bai Lang came to Lang Zhai one after another.
The three of them exchanged greetings and sat down, and Gong Xiru did not beat around the bush, and said directly, "This time His Royal Highness has suffered a secret loss, he will definitely think of other ways to secretly stumble in the palace, all the actions of His Royal Highness in the palace, please be careful." β
"To deal with Qi Run's own Qi Hua, I just need to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight." Qi |Mo smiled, with a confident look on his face, and it looked like he had a plan.
Bai Lang added: "Now that the successive ministers in the court have made it clear that they are on our side, on the one hand, this is a good development, but on the other hand, Su Hou will definitely start to suppress them one by one."
The ministers who support the Four Highnesses, led by General Yuan, Father and Uncle Ling, the Four Highnesses must remind each of them to be cautious, if there is a slight mistake now, they will definitely be made a big fuss by the people of the Great Highness and the Third Highness. β
Qi |Mo nodded: "I will be careful in the palace, and the two of you are outside the palace, so be cautious." β
The three of them haven't been together for a long time, Qi||Mo asked people to prepare good wine and food, and after lunch, Gong Xiru and Bai Lang left, and Qi||Mo also turned back to the palace.
Back in the palace, Qi ||Mo used to go to Emperor Qinglong to ask for peace, and there were no outsiders. The two of them are like a pair of ordinary father and son, because of Concubine Yue, Emperor Qinglong is aligned||Mo is more favored than other princes.
"You're doing a great job this time. did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, the two were still unable to move for the time being, and half of the ministers in the court were from the Queen Mother's side. Even if you find conclusive evidence that this matter is related to His Royal Highness, the Queen Mother will not watch the situation unfold and not control it. Emperor Qinglong was afraid that he would be depressed in his heart, so he specially comforted him.
Qi |Mo smiled and didn't care much: "The ministers still understand this truth, and the father can rest assured." Erchen won't let those people walk away with their noses. β
Emperor Qinglong was very pleased, but he remembered another thing and became a little serious: "I heard that you have a good relationship with the Ling family?" The Ling family is ambitious. If you are friendly with him, you will definitely suffer in the future, and my family's country will also be in jeopardy. β
This is no longer Qi||For the first time, Mo heard Emperor Qinglong talk about the Ling family. He doesn't have real power yet. All that can be done is the same perfunctory as usual: "The Ling family is a friend that Erchen made outside the palace.
It's not a good relationship, but the father also knows the influence of the Ling family in Northern Qin.
The hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, although the Ling family has no power now, but among the officials in the DPRK and China, a small half are related to the Ling family.
Now that Erchen has been in the palace for less than a year, the support of these people is the most needed, and the father should not worry too much, Erchen knows what he wants. β
Qi |A slight smile hung on the corner of Mo's mouth. If he wants it, he will find a way to get it. Whether it's this throne, or people.
Emperor Qinglong saw the sincerity he said, his heart was satisfied, and he was also relieved, "It's good if you know, just step down if you don't have anything to do." β
Qi |Mo bowed his hand and saluted: "The retainers retired." β
As soon as I walked outside the main hall, I saw Qi Hua coming onMo smiled and stepped forward and saluted, "Hello Third Emperor Brother." β
Qi Hua looked him up and down, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the fourth brother, from entering the palace to the present, he has finally been affirmed by everyone."
Now the most popular in the palace is the fourth brother, and the fourth brother will go to a high place in the future, but don't forget the third brother and me. β
Qi |Mo waved his hand and laughed: "The Third Emperor Brother is really good at telling jokes, I know how many catties and taels I have, compared with the Great Emperor Brother and the Third Emperor Brother, it is far behind."
The third emperor brother is going to see his father? Hurry inside, I won't bother. He made a please.
After Qi Hua left, Qi ||The smile on Mo's face gradually faded, and he was about to return to the Feather Birch Palace, but he saw Qi Run coming in this direction in the distance.
His eyes rolled, and he said to the eunuch at the door: "After the Great Highness comes down later, I will ask him to wait for a while, and the Third Highness will discuss important matters with his father inside, and you can only go in and report when the Third Highness comes out, understand?" β
The eunuch hesitated for a moment, and his face was puzzled: "Fourth Highness, the slave is a gatekeeper, where is the courage to let His Highness wait." Aren't you embarrassed minions? β
Qi |Mo rubbed his chin, thought for a while, and said: "Then what I say later, you can just go along with it, and you are not allowed to say anything else, otherwise this palace will let your father send you to Xinzhiku to work as a coolie." β
The little eunuch should be panicked. As soon as the two finished speaking, Qi Run walked up the last step, and he saw Qi at a glanceMo smiled before he got closer: "This is really a coincidence, the fourth brother also came to see his father?" β
"It's not, but the third emperor brother is discussing something important with his father inside, saying that no one can disturb me, so I can only wait."
Qi |Mo looked Qi Run up and down, and said, "It seems that the eldest brother is also here to see his father, so let's wait together." β
Qi Run's face was displeased: "I'm not like the fourth brother, I'm looking for my father to have serious business, how can I wait." β
He looked at the eunuch and said, "Hurry up and report it, and say that I have 100,000 urgent matters to ask to see my father." β
The little eunuch was submissive, feeling two beams of eyes with different meanings locking him, he was embarrassed and didn't know what to do, hesitated for a moment, and still echoed Qi in fearInk.
"The emperor ordered that before the Third Highness came out, he should not be disturbed."
Qi |Mo's face smiled even more, "I said yes, Brother Huang, let's wait together, talk about how good it is to talk, or simply go to the side hall to sit and wait, eat something and drink some tea or something." β
Qi Run shook his sleeves angrily, but he didn't insist anymore, but turned his back to Qi ||Ink waits.
"Yo-the eldest brother and the fourth brother are here, what are you talking about when you get together?" Qi Hua came out of the house and joked.
Qi |Mo hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed his shoulder, "What's the whisper." I was waiting for the third brother, and I happened to have something to ask the third brother, let's take a walk. Go and sit in my Feather Birch Temple. β
Qi Hua didn't know why, "Why are you asking so mysterious?" β
"Let the third brother give me an idea, you are smarter than me, and you have always thought of better ways than me." When passing through Qi Run, Qi ||Mo still arched his hand to say goodbye to him, and then continued to climb Qi Hua to leave without saying anything.
After the two of them walked a few steps away, Qi ||Mo whispered in Qi Hua's ear and asked, "Last time, I accidentally saw a girl in the courtyard of the Third Emperor Brother. Don't hide it from the royal brother, I fell in love with that girl at first sight-"
When Qi Hua heard this, he immediately laughed and said, "Good boy, you." Sure enough, it's meβ"
"ShhhhMo immediately made a silent gesture and whispered: "Brother Huang, don't shout, it's good for people to hear, you say." How can you give it to me, girl? β
Qi Hua instantly thought about several thoughts in his heart. In the end, I still think it's best to give it to him for free, so openly and honestly insert an eyeliner in Qi||Mo's Feather Birch Palace, why wouldn't he do it.
"If the fourth brother wants it, just take it directly, just a palace maid, comparable to our brotherhood?" Qi Hua said with a smile.
"Haha--I knew that you wouldn't let me down, brother-" Qi ||Mo Yangtian laughed.
Qi Run, who had never been in, saw the two of them every move clearly, especially Qi ||Mo's words are even more understandable.
When. So the relationship between the two is so good? Or are the two already in collusion and want to join forces against themselves?
The little eunuch walked out and said, "Your Highness." Your Majesty, please come in. β
Qi Run came back to his senses, and then looked at the two people who were hooking shoulders in the distance, and became more and more sure of his thoughtsJudging by Mo's words, perhaps the murder of the Gong family was caused by Qi Hua.
"Qi Hua, if you want to go against me, don't blame me for taking you first." He gritted his teeth and muttered.
"Your Highness?" The little eunuch called.
Qi Run snorted angrily and coldly: "Got it, what are you yelling about." As he spoke, he walked into the temple.
After seeing Emperor Qinglong, Qi Run couldn't let go of the scene he had just seen in his heart, so he immediately went back to his bedroom and asked people to monitor Qi Hua and QiThe two of them tried to find out if the two had really teamed up.
"Your Royal Highness, Princess Haining personally sent a letter, saying that it is very important, and I want Her Highness to reply to her after reading it." The eunuch Fude, who was waiting for Qi Run, held a letter and handed it to Qi Run.
Qi Run said angrily: "She still has the face to come to me, if it weren't for her and Gong Chengyan's unfavorable work this time, how could there be such a result, both the father and daughter of the Ling family were promoted, and the father and emperor were obviously giving Qi ||." Ink long face. β
Fu agreed, he read the contents of the letter in advance, and then persuaded: "Your Highness, maybe this time, Princess Haining really has any good proposals, you might as well take a look, if not, we don't have to contact them again in the future." β
As soon as he said this, Qi Run's anger became a little smaller, and he took the letter and took a cursory look, but when he saw the middle part, the expression on his face gradually became serious.
After watching it twice in a row, he finally laughed: "Haha-this princess Haining, I have to admit that she still has some brains--bring pen and ink." β
Fu immediately took the pen, ink and paper, and after Qi Run finished writing, he immediately sent it to the person who delivered the letter outside the palace.
"Your Highness, the letter has been sent, when do you think we will make a move?"
The more Qi Run thought about it, the more excited he became, and he got up and said, "Without further ado, go now, you quickly go and prepare some ginseng supplements and pick out a few valuable gifts." β
Fu hurriedly went to pick out the gifts himself, packed everything, and went out of the palace with Qi Run.
Qi Run's coming from nowhere else, it was Zhang Tianhao's Zhang family.
For the visit of His Royal Highness, Zhang Tianhao was flattered, and took the family out to greet him, but he was inevitably uneasy, what did His Highness do at this time?
Qi Run saw that his face was not very good, and the old lady's expression was also sad, and he couldn't help but blame himself: "It seems that this palace is not the right time to come today, is there something going on in Lord Zhang's mansion?"
If there is anything difficult, tell this palace, and if this palace can help, it will definitely help Master Zhang. β
Zhang Tianhao hurriedly shook his head and said: "Thank you Your Highness for your concern, it's all trivial matters at home, I said that I am afraid of polluting Your Highness's ears, Your Highness, please invite inside, and the lower officials will prepare a banquet, and I hope Your Highness will not dislike it." β
Qi Run deliberately showed a sad look: "Lord Zhang doesn't want to say it, that is, he doesn't want to have a heart-to-heart relationship with this palace, this palace sincerely wants to help Lord Zhang, your ruthless refusal really makes this palace very sad." β
Zhang Tianhao's face became more and more pale from being frightened by his words, this was not a simple few words. First, Qi Run must have a purpose for coming this time; Second, he was hinting at trying to woo himself. As for the current situation between the DPRK and China, Zhang Tianhao is very clear.
"Your Highness is so sincere, it's not easy for the lower officials not to say it, it's not a secret, yesterday's fourth aunt of the lower officials was also a sin, and she died in childbirth, and the adults and children were not saved."
Qi Run was surprised: "Lord Zhang has always been honest and upright, but he would encounter this kind of thing?" β
Zhang Tianhao, who heard this, couldn't help but slander himself in his heart, of course he knew that he was not a good person, but he did not blame himself for the death of the fourth aunt and the child.
But he doesn't think like this, it doesn't mean that others don't think so, for example, the old lady of the Zhang family, Shen, has always felt that it was someone in the courtyard who committed a bad star to bring bad luck to the house, and has always asked for a mage to exorcise evil spirits.
Zhang Tianhao couldn't resist him, and only went to Bailan Temple in the morning to invite the presiding officer to pass away, and the people had just sent him away not long ago.
He sighed, "Forget it, people can't be resurrected after death, and I can't hold on to the dead people, so that Your Highness will laugh, Your Highness will be invited inside." β
Qi Run followed towards the hall, but retorted: "This is not necessarily, this palace heard that if you really hit the evil and do not let the evil thing be punished, the dead will not be reincarnated with peace of mind."
Maybe Lord Zhang's fourth aunt and son are now wandering in this mansion, resenting Lord Zhang for not avenging them. β
Zhang Tianhao felt an inexplicable chill in his back, and said with a sneer: "Your Highness is serious-"
"What's serious, I think my grandson must still be in this mansion, if you don't let that evil thing get the punishment it deserves, my grandson will probably become a lonely ghost and come to us to ask for his life." Shen said angrily.
Zhang Tianhao's face was impatient, in front of His Royal Highness, the old mother's words were really not good, so he ordered the next humane: "The old lady is too sad, help her down to rest, remember to worry, and give the old lady more jokes." β
Shen also knew what she had just said, she was just excited, and she forgot that there was still His Royal Highness, her face was a little uncomfortable, and she was helped by her subordinates to give Qi Run Fuli: "The old woman is unbearable, and she is afraid of staining Her Highness's eyes, so she will retreat first." β
Qi Run immediately replied: "Old lady, go slowly, don't worry, this palace knows this mage who is the best at exorcism and evil in Northern Qin, and will definitely help the Zhang family through this hurdle." β
The Shen family became happy at this time, Fuli retreated, and Zhang Zuolun also walked out at this time and said: "Since the father has something to discuss with His Royal Highness, the son also retreats first." β
Qi Run persuaded with a smile: "The eldest prince doesn't need to leave in a hurry, this palace heard that you are extremely good at academics, and I want to take the opportunity to understand a thing or two." (To be continued.) )
