Chapter 68: A flash in the pan

As soon as Xu Yourong's words were finished, Xie Jing's good-looking lips curved, although it was just a flash in the pan, Xu Yourong still caught it quickly.

Captured Xie Jing's smile at that moment, the smile that seemed to be full of sarcasm.

And if Xu Youshan was here, when she saw Xie Jing's smile, she would definitely shut up quickly, and then take the opportunity to run away, because although Xie Jing didn't say that he was angry or anything, but now he was even more terrifying than he was angry. After all, if Xie Jing really wants to harm someone, then no matter what, that person is probably the kind who has to lose his skin.

And Xie Jing is now trying to calculate Xu Yourong mercilessly.

But Xu Yourong's next sentence made Xie Jing pause.

"But if you can grant me one request, then we can continue talking."

"What requirements?"

"I can promise you a promise that I will fulfill your three wishes, but these three wishes must have a premise, and that is what I can do."

Xu Yourong looked at Xie Jing with a confident face, judging from the hand she hid in her sleeve and put it away, put it and held it, Xu Yourong was actually not so confident. And Xu Yourong should have been unconfident, she is now a situation where I am a fish and a knife, and she should be slaughtered by others, after all, this kind of belly and back with a strong enemy in front of him and a chasing soldier in the back should be anxious.

But now, the more this kind of situation is the enemy, and you can't take a step forward or retreat. Even if Xu Yourong doesn't think about himself, he has to think about Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen, so Xu Yourong is racking his brains now to deal with Xie Jing.

Otherwise, Xu Yourong would not have taken out the matter of Miss Zhang's family.

A year ago. That is, not long after Xu Yourong and Lu's feast, an earth-shattering event broke out in the Shendu - Zhang Shu, the daughter of Zhang Quan, the current secretary of the Ministry of Works, actually ran away from marriage the day before she married Wei Jian, the son of the servant of the Ministry of Officials.

The Ministry of Industry is a second-grade official, and although the Ministry of Officials is lower than the first-grade Shangshu, it is also a third-grade member, so the two families are married. Although it is not said that the whole country is concerned, it is not a trivial matter, but the whole god knows about it. When he was also quite concerned, Zhang Shu actually escaped the marriage, so that the wedding on the next day opened a big skylight, not to mention, the two families also lost a lot of face. And the two families who are already not very good. Now they directly regard each other as enemies.

But the strange place comes, in ancient times, when the two surnames were good, even if the two families did not say that they would become intimate, at least it would not be like the two families of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Officials, after the family affairs of the children of the two families have been decided, the relationship between the two families is not only not better than before, but even worse than before, isn't it strange?

Belch...... It's really not surprising. At least not surprisingly, to the very few who know why. On the contrary, it couldn't be more normal.

Because no matter who it is, if his daughter is calculated by others, and finally has to marry that person who calculates her, the breath held in his chest is really impossible to release.

And Wei Jian and Zhang Shu are such a relationship between calculating and being calculated.

It's just that the specific thing happened was too secretive, and at first everyone except for the two families didn't know. As for Xu Yourong, who is the same person, how can he know the reason, this is also due to Zhang Shu's grandmother, who has a bit of past friendship with Mrs. Qi, so after Zhang Shu escaped from marriage, the Zhang family did not actively cooperate with the Wei family to search for Zhang Shu, the escaped bride, the Wei family made a big fuss, resulting in the end even Emperor Zhou Hui was alarmed, and directly called Zhang Quan of the Ministry of Industry and the servant of the Ministry of Officials to the front of the palace and scolded him, and then strictly ordered the servant of the Ministry of Officials not to make any more noise, and Zhang Quan also had to actively cooperate with the search and arrest of the Wei family.

Now that Emperor Zhou Hui has spoken, Zhang Quan is not good at pretending to be deaf and dumb, so he can only search for Zhang Shu in earnest. But Mrs. Zhang didn't think like this, she didn't approve of Zhang Shu marrying Wei Jian, but Zhang Quan felt that she couldn't stiffen with the Wei family, otherwise when the Wei family revealed everything, the Zhang family's door would be swept away. So when Mrs. Zhang moved out of the last wish of the deceased Mrs. Zhang, she had to ignore Zhang Shu's anger and agreed to marry the Wei family.

But now, since things have developed to such a point, Zhang Shu is even more desperate to escape from the marriage, and grasped the lax mood that everyone felt that things were finally going to settle the night before the wedding, and successfully escaped from Zhang's mansion. That old lady Zhang, who usually favors Zhang Shu's granddaughter the most, how could she be indifferent at this time?

So, after Zhang Quan was scolded by Emperor Zhou Hui and came back, Mrs. Zhang handed over the post to Xu's Mansion the next day.

And after Mrs. Qi told everything one by one in tears in the eyes of Mrs. Zhang, she also felt sorry for a fierce girl like Zhang Shu.

Moreover, Wei Jian's subordinate methods really angered Old Madam Qi. After all, the next means that Wei Jian used to deal with Zhang Shu were exactly the same as those used by the third prince Xie Wen on Xu Mingxi, if there was no Qi Xuan at that time, what would have happened to Xu Mingchen? And at that time, could Mrs. Zheng be the same as Mrs. Zhang, who could she ask to save her granddaughter? Old Madam Qi really can't even think about it.

Therefore, after the old lady of the Zhang family begged and begged, even if the old lady Qi didn't look at anything else, it was because of the little affection between the old lady Zhang and herself, she couldn't help but agree.

Therefore, later, Mrs. Qi secretly sent the secret guard of the Xu family, found Zhang Shu before the Zhang family and the Wei family, and quietly brought her back to the Xu family.

And then it was very easy, Mrs. Qi personally went into the palace to meet the Queen Mother, and framed Zhang Shu for how Wei Jian was at the banquet held at her house, so that she was bumped into by him in an embarrassed and disheveled situation, and immediately invited the wives of the two families to come to the scene. made this an irreparable thing, and later Zhang Shu escaped from marriage, and the old friend Mrs. Zhang finally begged her in desperation, and told the Queen Mother one by one. I hope that the Queen Mother can uphold justice.

But when things developed here, there was a small episode, that is, the Queen Mother felt that since things were like this, Zhang Shu's chastity was ruined by Wei Jian no matter what, so it was better not to do anything again, and marry Wei Jian if she was wronged. It's not the worst outcome, after all, things are so big, Zhang Shu doesn't marry Wei Jian. It is estimated that he will have to accompany the Green Lantern Ancient Buddha for the rest of his life.

And the Queen Mother would say this, Mrs. Qi was not unexpected, and for this consequence, Mrs. Qi also asked Zhang Shu about her wishes. And Zhang Shu only has one sentence: If I succumb to Wei Jian's conspiracy like this. Then I would rather be with the ancient Buddha of the green lantern for the rest of my life. He can do whatever it takes to achieve his end now, but what about later? A shameless person like him, after marrying him, may be the most tragic ending.

Zhang Shu was able to be so transparent and intelligent at a young age, which made Mrs. Qi sigh and regret even more. But now that she has received such a firm answer, Old Madam Qi has nothing to hesitate about, after weighing the whole thing. Old Madam Qi planned to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother.

But before entering the palace, Mrs. Qi quietly went to the Beiding Palace. After staying in the west bank of Shiji for a short time, he went to the palace from the back door of the Beiding Palace. And after the Queen Mother said "It's better to marry Wei Jian", Mrs. Qi didn't talk nonsense, and directly said Zhang Shu's own wishes, and then, of course, moved the old princess of Beiding out, saying that after her old man also felt that she still obeyed the girl's own wishes, the Queen Mother didn't say anything more.

And such a thing that is not small, big and big, after the Queen Mother and the old princess of Beiding both expressed their positions, then even Emperor Zhou Hui didn't say anything anymore, and the Wei family didn't dare to say anything anymore.

So the marriage between Zhang Shu and Wei Jian finally came to an end, and Zhang Shu was quietly sent to Fugu Temple by a black-covered ebony carriage after everything settled.

And because of this incident, the truth of the matter was clearly known by Xu Yourong and Xu Mingxi. It just so happened that at this time of the confrontation with Xie Jing, this matter has also become a sword for Xu Yourong, although the edge is not sharp, but how can this be a weapon, isn't it?

After all, Xie Jing's three wishes are not too embarrassing at first glance, because of this kind of verbal promise, as soon as everyone turns their backs, they will bite and deny it. But Xu Yourong looked at the person in front of her, this used to be in her eyes, even if he was not as polite as he was on the surface, but she thought that he was at most just like the second prince Xie Yan and the third prince Xie Wen.

Although his identity has always been a little special, he is the only concubine of Emperor Zhou Hui, and he is also the eldest son of the emperor - Xie Jing!

But it seems that from tonight onwards, Xu Yourong's opinion of Xie Jing will change drastically, at least like Xie Jing, quietly under the conspiracy of the two concubines De and Xian and the two most powerful princes now, they will quietly pull her out of the net of that day?

If such a person is just an ordinary weak prince, just as rumored, occupying the shadow of Empress Zhen and her outer family who has completely withdrawn from the divine capital, and Xie Yan and Xie Wen are supporting the weak prince who is struggling to the death, then it is estimated that there will be no more princes in this palace who are not weak, I am afraid that Xie Yan and Xie Wen will have to become one of the weak princes on the other hand.

Therefore, when Xu Yourong brought the people she and Wan'er quietly rescued in a dead end to Xie Jing, she listened to every word Xie Jing said; And every word she said to Xie Jing, before she spoke, she also thought about it many times before she said it.

But even so, when Xie Jing directly said that he had intentions for her, but this attempt didn't embarrass her at all in his opinion, but just wanted her to fulfill his three wishes, Xu Yourong was still afraid.

Xu Yourong was afraid, afraid that she was not the scheming in front of her, but this year she was just the opponent of a teenager of the same age as her.

At the same time, Xu Yourong also missed, she missed Xu Mingxi, Xu Mingwen, and Xu Youshan, she missed when they were by her side. Even if the sky falls, she can hold on to the kind of hands they have won and never give up.

But the people Xu Yourong still misses, there is also Nie Suhyun at this time.

Nie Suhyun to Xu Yourong. The most famous and well-known is his eternal unpretentious and eternal coldness to her. And Xu Yourong's most famous and well-known thing about Nie Suhyun is that no matter how unpretentious and iceberg he is to her, she will always look at him with a smile, even if one day he doesn't care and doesn't mind finally angering her. But the next time they met, she would immediately forget the previous unpleasantness and look at him with a smile beside him again.

But Nie Suhyun is like this to Xu Yourong. People can actually understand it, although they think that it is unreasonable that he can't like a proud girl like Xu Yourong, but people's likes and dislikes have always been inexplicable. But isn't that the best reason?

No matter how unreasonable it may be. As long as the words like it or dislike are put on the title, it seems that people can have a hint of understanding.

is like Xu Yourong is good to Nie Suhyun, isn't it because of this?

But what people don't know is that although Xu Yourong is so good to Nie Suhyun, no matter how he doesn't pretend to himself, and he has almost no good face, Xu Yourong is still so good to him and likes him, in fact, it is not without any external factors.

At least as long as it's by Nie Suhyun's side. Xu Yourong will feel an indescribable sense of security, no matter how dangerous things are. As long as she can be by his side, she doesn't seem to worry, and he will help her sort everything out. And where people can't see it, where Xu Yourong can't let go of Nie Suhyun, is that no matter how indifferent he is to her, as long as she screams pain and tiredness, he will unconsciously start to take care of her, and he has always been.

And Nie Suhyun's tenderness to Xu Yourong may be a tenderness that even Nie Suhyun himself didn't find, but they are cherished by Xu Yourong in the bottom of his heart, and he has been reluctant to let go of them. As for whether this is just Nie Suhyun's demeanor, not only for her, but also for other people, he will generally take care of and help them like this, Xu Yourong doesn't know, and she doesn't want to know.

It's okay to say that she is deceiving herself, but Xu Yourong just wants to give herself a reason and a motivation to continue to work hard to stick to Nie Suhyun, what's wrong with this?

Besides, there is such a thing as a sense of security, which is really too scarce, since Xu Yourong has encountered it, and people are now in the situation of unmarried men and unmarried women, it is not wrong for her to be smart and bully and don't want to miss it.

At the very least, now in the small pavilion at the junction of the middle hall and the apse of the Ronghua Palace, facing Xie Jing, a person who will only bring her endless oppression, Nie Suhyun is really so rare and nostalgic for Xu Yourong.

"Miss Xu doesn't seem to know her situation yet?"

And at this time, when Xu Yourong missed Nie Suhyun infinitely, Xie Jing had already raised his eyebrows and looked at her, feeling that her proposal was a little unbelievable and funny.

"No, Your Royal Highness, I know very well what my current situation is, but Your Royal Highness, you should also know best, I have the ability to break the net." Xie Jing thought Xu Yourong was funny, but Xu Yourong couldn't also think that he was funny, so after Xie Jing finished speaking, Xu Yourong calmly asked Xie Jing.

Xie Jing looked at Xu Yourong's expression unchanged, but the teacup that had been put down was picked up again. And Xie Jing did know that Xu Yourong really had the ability to break the net, at least when she was facing him.

At the beginning, Xie Yan and Xie Wen would want to make this risky move, didn't they just take advantage of Emperor Zhou Hui's favor for them, and occupy the power of the two concubines of De and Xian in the harem? Then when their conspiracy succeeds in the end, and there is a reason for Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen to marry them, as long as Concubine De and Concubine Xian go to Emperor Zhou Hui to cry and complain, and then let Emperor Zhou Hui give marriage, then this matter is not a certainty? What else can the Xu family do then, can they ask Emperor Zhou Hui for this great injustice? In the case that Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen's chastity may have been broken by Xie Yan and Xie Wen?

At that time, even if the Xu family dared to offend Emperor Zhou Hui's dragon face, but Emperor Zhou Hui would never be able to let go of this matter for the sake of the royal face, so Xie Yan and Xie Wen dared to act like this, although if this thing failed, then there was really no way back, but what if it succeeded?

Anyway, now because of the Dongji Mission that is about to enter Beijing, it has come to the point where they have to make a desperate bet, and after Concubine De, Concubine Xian, Xie Yan and Xie Wen calculated and calculated, they also felt that everything was almost foolproof, and victory was definitely in sight. In this case, they automatically ignore the miserable situation after failure, and only think about the joy of success.

After all, Xie Yan and Xie Wen felt that even if this matter was successful, the Xu family would hate them for a while, but as long as Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen married them, then they would be grasshoppers on a rope, and they were afraid that the Xu family would stay out of the matter?

As for the situation in which the big house and the second room of the Xu family will split at that time, it is not for them to consider.

But Xie Yan and Xie Wen can be so fearless, relying on the favor of Emperor Zhou Hui, and the right of the two concubines of virtue and virtue to almost dominate the harem, but what about Xie Jing, what does he have? In this matter, he neither has the favor of Emperor Zhou Hui, nor does he have the mother concubine of the harem like Concubine De and Concubine Xian, and these two samples are Xie Jing's biggest weaknesses, so even if he holds Xu Yourong in his hand now, it is impossible for him to act like Xie Yan and Xie Wen.

Otherwise, the Xu family will not be in trouble by then, and only Emperor Zhou Hui's reproach may destroy him.

And Xie Jing himself knows these best, otherwise he would not have been able to use a gentle policy on Xu Yourong like this when he grabbed Xu Yourong in the palm of his hand. But what he didn't expect was that Xu Yourong immediately thought of these core issues.

But of course, of course, it is Xu Yourong who is at a disadvantage now, because no matter what, she has been dragged by others, and it is not a matter of people's words to let her be slaughtered and cut. And Xu Yourong is really worried about what happened to Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen now, she still wants to use Xie Jing's hidden power, so in the silence, Xu Yourong took the initiative to speak first and said to Xie Jing: "His Royal Highness, I think we should give in at this time, how about it?" ”

"Okay."

And just when Xu Yourong looked at Xie Jing, who seemed to be indifferent at all, for a while, and she herself was becoming more and more unable to hold her breath, Xie Jing actually nodded.

But before Xu Yourong had time to be happy, Xie Jing suddenly stretched out his hand to Wen Ge behind him, and Wen Ge immediately presented a stack of paper-like things.

"There is no evidence for what you say, Miss Xu, please leave a certificate here." Xie Jing's red lips raised and smiled leisurely.

"......" And at this time, looking at the ink gold paper spread out on the table, Xu Yourong didn't know what to do and what kind of mood to have, Xie Jing was really prepared, if she hadn't bitten her mouth just now, it was estimated that her intestines would have been repentant now

……

……

"Are things going well?"

"If you go back to the Holy Lord, everything will go well."

"Okay, remember to let me know when the time comes, got it?"

"Yes."

Meng Hai, the chief of the inner guard, looked at Emperor Zhou Hui's first minion, and the commander-in-chief of the Praetorian Guard respectfully retreated under Emperor Zhou Hui's order, and his doubts were reborn, what Emperor Zhou Hui was ordering him to do, and he was so secretive that he didn't even know about it. You must know that Meng Hai can be said to be the closest person to Emperor Zhou Hui, and now even he doesn't know what Emperor Zhou Hui is doing when he is ordering the commander-in-chief of the Praetorian Guard, which is probably a big deal.

"Meng Hai."

But although Meng Hai was alarmed in his heart, he still had a deferential smile on his face, so that no one could see that he was different, until Emperor Zhou Hui, who was standing with his hands, suddenly called him, which made Meng Hai's heart tremble unconsciously, and then hurriedly responded: "The old slave is here." ”

"Are you curious?" Emperor Zhou Hui asked without a smile.

"If you return to the saint, the old slave doesn't dare to deceive you, the old slave is curious." Meng Hai lowered his eyebrows and said.

"Do you want to know?" Emperor Zhou Hui asked again.

"If you go back to the saint, the old slave doesn't want to." Meng Hai replied.

"Hmph." Emperor Zhou Hui snorted, but he didn't continue to ask, and Meng Hai's cold sweat stopped at this time. Now almost everyone says that Emperor Zhou Hui is old and mediocre and absurd, but only Meng Hai knows best that Emperor Zhou Hui is old, and maybe he is becoming more and more absurd, but if he is mediocre?

Alas...... (To be continued......)
