Chapter 437: Chips (First Update 4K5, Ask for Recommendation Votes)
Xia Dianxiang nodded silently, her eyes staring at the backs of the few people who went out.
Xie Dongli was tall and walked beside his sister like a god......
No, he's still holding her hand!
Xia Dianxiang's eyes widened.
She had never seen Xie Dongli touch her sister in front of anyone before......
This is the first time, right?
I saw them holding hands in front of people......
Xia Dixiang didn't know what it was like, an envious smile appeared on her face, and she sighed: "Brother-in-law is so good to my sister......"
Yun Zheng looked at her eyes, and in his heart, he didn't think so, but he had to follow the perfunctory face: "Yes, yes, it's really a couple." But......" Her gaze turned around Xia Dianxiang's face again, "County Lord, you seem to be particularly concerned about Vice Minister Xie......
Xia Dixiang looked at Xie Dongli's eyes, and Yun Zheng was a little incomprehensible.
She originally thought that Xia Dianxiang should have thoughts about Xie Dongli, but seeing that she put her sleeves first everywhere, she was very happy about her sister and brother-in-law's husband and wife, and she didn't seem to have ideas.
Of course, although this county lord is young, she has more eyes than an old woman in her seventies and eighties, and she can't just look at the surface, maybe her mind is too deep.
Knowing people, knowing faces, not knowing hearts!
Xia Dianxiang looked back at Yun Zheng and smiled softly: "I'm all a person who wants to die, and it's nothing to be honest with you." ”
"Oh?" Yun Zheng pricked up his ears, is it that people are dying and their words are good, and birds are dying and their songs are also mourning?
“…… The person I love the most is my sister. As long as she can live well. I was at ease. Whoever is good to my sister, of course I am good to someone in my heart. Xia Dianxiang said with a smile, in fact, he didn't look like a dying person at all.
Yun Zheng laughed twice. Secretly said that this was really a, but her face was still full of appreciation: "The county lord is really sisterly, but it's a pity that Mrs. Xie doesn't understand the county lord's hard work." ”
"It doesn't matter if my sister understands it or not, I don't care......" Xia Yanxiang smiled, as long as that person understands, she silently added in her heart.
Yun Zheng was silent for a moment, and she turned her gaze in the direction of the prison door. asked in a low voice, "County Lord, will they really burn Yunxiu?" ”
Yunxiu isn't actually dead yet......
Xia Dianxiang closed her eyes, "I don't know." She walked back to where she had been and sat down on her knees. I'm tired and need to sleep for a while. ”
……
Xie Dongli left the White Tower Prison with Ying Sleeve and Shen Yule.
He asked them to wait in the cart at the door, and he went to watch the jailers of the White Tower Prison burn Yunxiu's body.
The jailer's face was a little strange, and he whispered to Xie Dongxuan, "...... This handmaiden. It doesn't seem to be dead yet......"
Xie Dongli said lightly: "Are you sure?" ”
The jailer scratched his head. He added: "However, before putting it in the crematorium, I will stab it in the chest, just in case." ”
So it doesn't really matter if you died before or not.
Xie Dongli nodded, "Remember that anyone who suddenly died violently in the White Tower Prison must be reported and dealt with after being verified by the Prime Minister's Pavilion." ”
The jailer let out an "ahhh But it's already burned just now, it's going to be swollen and broken!
Xie Dongli glanced at him, "There is me today." "Paused." To report to the Prime Minister's Pavilion is to report to me. ”
So today is not unusual.
In short, he has the final say.
The jailer let go of his heart and hurriedly bowed him out.
Xie Dongli got on the horse, saw Ying sleeve and asked him, "...... What did you do? ”
Xie Dongli didn't hide it from her: "Go and see the burning of Yunxiu." ”
Ying Sleeve was suffocated, and after thinking about it, doing this is much better than being executed by Ling Chi, at least it is not painful to die.
She sighed: "Poor people, too." He was made a scapegoat. ”
She didn't believe that this matter was Yun Xiu's head and hand.
Xie Dongli didn't believe it either, because he was there at all that day, and he clearly heard that Xia Yanxiang and Yun Zheng were planning this matter, and it had nothing to do with Yun Xiu.
But because it has nothing to do with her, I can put the black pot on her back.
Since Yun Zheng was with Xia Dixiang at that time, if Yun Zheng was used as a scapegoat, then Xia Dixiang would not be able to keep it, and this black pot would not be able to get out.
Yingsleeve wanted to understand this, supported her hand, leaned on the window sill of the car, and said faintly: "If the Spring Festival does this, won't she feel guilty at all?" ”
"Cousin, you still don't understand? In people's hearts, it's not her fault at all! Since you don't think it's your fault, where does the guilt come from?! "Shen Yule has never had a good impression of Xia Yanxiang, so he always speaks mercilessly.
Ying Sleeve is based on the sisterhood of the two lives, although she hates Fan Chunyun, but it has not yet reached the point of hatred.
But she also saw very clearly, maybe she just stood and talked without backache.
After all, Fan Chunyun once stirred up Shen Yule's family affairs, and Shen Yule should have a knot in her heart.
And the affairs of his own family were originally a mess.
Many things can't be blamed on Zhang Lanying's mother and daughter, and her father Yuan Jianren also has to bear a large part of the responsibility.
If it weren't for the fact that he forgot his wife and killed Shen Yongjie, how could Zhang Lanying enter the house and make a black hand to Xiao Lei?
Now that Zhang Lanying is dead, Yuan Jianren is also dead, and all Spring Festival luck will also be subdued, Shen Yongjie and Zhang Shaotian are married, and her younger brother Xiaolei has also grown up, and almost all her wishes since her rebirth have come true.
Ying Sleeve looked at Xie Dongli, who looked back from time to time outside the car and looked at her with a smile, and his heart was even warmer.
People who are in happiness are always particularly tolerant.
Ying Sleeve felt that the only trace of resentment and disgust he had for Fan Chunyun had gradually dissipated.
……
After returning to the Prince's Mansion from Baita Prison, Ying Sleeve and Xie Dongli were busy with the funeral of Yuan Jianren.
Shen Yule saw that they were busy, so he automatically stayed and lived in the guest house, helping Ying Sleeve and Xiao Lei to manage the accounts and entertain the female relatives who came to the door.
Xie Dongli thought that he would go to the Medicine King Valley with Sheng Qinghao in two days, and some things had not been arranged yet. I took the time to go to the palace to meet Emperor Yuan Hong.
Prime Minister Shen Dacheng happened to be in the palace.
Xie Dongli came to Emperor Yuanhong's imperial study, briefly talked about his illness, and finally said: "Because the condition is more serious. Sheng Gongzi said that he wanted me to go to the Medicine King Valley with them, and let them take a look at the ancestors of the Sheng family to see if they could be cured. ”
Emperor Yuan Hong and Prime Minister Shen Dacheng were both very concerned, and the two of them said in unison: "Then hurry up and go for treatment!" ”
After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed.
Xie Dongli saw that these two monarchs and ministers got along, and they should not be easily separated by Queen Qi Xueyun. Then he said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Shen Dacheng, the county lord of Northern Qi has now been detained in Baita Prison, and she can't escape if she wants to." But. Northern Qi will definitely not do nothing and watch us execute their county lords. ”
This is also the reason why they did not sentence Xia Yanxiang to a decisive decision.
Emperor Yuan Hong himself objected to killing Xia Yanxiang immediately.
He nodded and muttered, "Northern Qi will definitely make a move." We held Xia Dianxiang in our hands. It is possible to wait and see. If they don't do anything for this county lord, then they can kill her. If ......"
If Northern Qi does not hesitate to pay any price and let Xia Dixiang go back alive, then it means that Xia Dixiang is a very important bargaining chip, and they can take the opportunity to ask for more benefits from Northern Qi.
Prime Minister Shen Dacheng said with some uneasiness: "But ...... did she kill Prince Yuan?"
Don't you have to fight the death of the prince?
Emperor Yuan Hong drooped his eyelids, looked at the recital on the bookcase in front of him, and said lightly: "If this son of mine can make some contribution to the Eastern Yuan Kingdom." Then he deserved to die. ”
This is not to treat Yuan Jianren as a son at all, but only as a bargaining chip for interest negotiations.
Xie Dongli and Prime Minister Shen Dacheng actually didn't have a good impression of Yuan Jianren. It is indeed better for this person to be dead than to be alive, but it is not so glorious to die and to lose the face of Emperor Yuan Hong, so they unanimously decided to take Xia Dianxiang's life.
Of course, no one can discredit the face of the emperor.
Of course, if Emperor Yuan Hong himself doesn't care anymore, everything is in the interests of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, and of course there is nothing for them to disobey as courtiers.
Xie Dongli and Prime Minister Shen Dacheng bowed together and said, "Your Majesty is wise! ”
Emperor Yuan Hong smiled self-deprecatingly, rubbed a piece of jade pendant left by Empress Chen Yi with his hand, raised his eyes and said to Xie Dongli: "You are leaving the Eastern Yuan Kingdom in two days?" ”
Xie Dongli is here to talk about this, "Where is the Medicine King Valley, I don't know." Sheng Gongzi took me over this time, and he definitely won't let me know the specific direction. ”
The Sheng family has lived in seclusion for so many years, and must have their own set of strict precautions.
It is impossible to make an exception for him alone.
Emperor Yuan Hong and Prime Minister Shen Dacheng both expressed their understanding.
Emperor Yuan Hong also said: "Then I will go to the prince's palace to see him off for the last time the day after tomorrow." ”
In the end, he is his own son, and he still has to go to the prince's mansion to see him for the last time.
Xie Dongli responded, and said: "The minister wants to go to the Medicine King Valley, and I also ask Your Majesty and Prime Minister Shen Dacheng to keep it secret, and don't tell anyone." ”
The public statement will only say that his illness has worsened and he has returned to the villa to recuperate.
Only Ying Sleeve, Emperor Yuan Hong, and Prime Minister Shen Dacheng knew what he was doing.
This is also to guard against Northern Qi and Southern Zheng, lest they think that Xie Dongli, the rising star of the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, is gone, and they will be able to do whatever they want against the Eastern Yuan Kingdom.
Because of the recent disputes between the Eastern Yuan Kingdom, the Southern Zheng Kingdom, and the Northern Qi Kingdom, it was a time of tension.
Emperor Yuan Hong nodded and looked at Prime Minister Shen Dacheng: "What happened to Nan Zhengguo?" After Zheng Hao went back, did any news come? ”
Prime Minister Shen Dacheng shook his head, bowed down and said: "Since he returned to Nanzheng Kingdom, there has been no news, and the minister doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, and he has a relationship with the little girl, alas...... I knew that I would either hurry up and get married, or I didn't agree with them to get married, and now it's hard to ride a tiger. ”
The key is that Shen Yule has already retired once, and if there are twists and turns in the relationship with Zheng Hao, Shen Yule will probably not be able to marry as well as Huanghua's daughter.
Xie Dongli still has a lot of confidence in Zheng Hao, and he comforted Prime Minister Shen Dacheng and said: "Zheng Hao's ability is not small, and there are things left by his father and emperor, which may not be able to fight his eldest brother." ”
Now the emperor of Nan Zheng is the former crown prince Zheng Cheng, and the empress is the former crown princess Wu Qingqing.
These two people were able to become emperors and empresses smoothly, completely relying on the power of the Wu family.
The former Emperor of the Southern Zheng State, Emperor Changxing, according to public accounts, was already dead. The successor emperor also gave him a beautiful funeral.
Therefore, even if he is not dead, it is estimated that his son will be recognized as a liar, once he comes out. and they will be put to death.
Xie Dongli is not worried about Southern Zhengguo, only about Xia Fan, the Jinyi Guardian of Northern Qi State, after all, Xia Yanxiang is Xia Fan's "niece", who knows what the real relationship is? But if something happens to Xia Dianxiang, Xia Fan will definitely not sit idly by.
In particular, Xia Fan had already stood by and watched Zhang Lanying once, so Xie Dongli concluded that Xia Fan would not continue to stand by and watch Xia Yanxiang this time.
But how far can Xia Fan go. Xie Dongli is also unpredictable.
In addition, Xia Fan had something that Xie Dongli was afraid of, so Xie Dongli decided to avoid Xia Fan's edge this time.
Anyway, he was going to the Medicine King Valley to heal.
Once cured. He should be able to not be afraid of what Xia Fan has in his hands.
Xie Dongli discussed with Emperor Yuan Hong and Prime Minister Shen Dacheng again, and was sure that nothing was wrong, so he took his leave and left.
……
When he returned to the Prince's Palace, it was already the time to hold the lamp.
However, the prince's palace is holding a funeral. White lanterns hung everywhere. The white candles are lit as if they were daytime.
There are endless streams of slaves and maids, as well as monks who chant scriptures, Taoist priests who draw talismans, and drummers who keep vigil at night, decorating the whole palace with lively and lively scenery.
Xie Dongli returned to the courtyard where he and Ying Sleeve lived and found that Ying Sleeve had not returned.
Cai Yun was left by Cai Sang to watch the door, and she saw Xie Dongli coming back. Hurriedly greeted him and saluted and asked, "Fifth Master, do you want to have dinner?" ”
Xie Dongli discussed in the palace for an afternoon. I didn't eat anything, and I was hungry at this time, but when I remembered Yingsleeve, I turned my head and asked, "What about Madame?" Has she ever eaten it? ”
Cai Yun presented Xie Dongli with a tea cup, frowned and said, "The slave maid heard Sister Cai Sang say that Madame was so busy that her feet didn't touch the ground, and she didn't have time to eat dinner." -- Look at the food box over there, it's been heated three times, and it's all back full of it. ”
Xie Dongli paused, put down the teacup, and said, "It's been hot so many times, how can you eat it?" Go and let the kitchenette make a few more fresh bowls, make mine too, and send the food box over. ”
Cai Yun hurriedly went to pass the word.
Xie Dongli asked someone again where Ying Sleeve was staying now.
When the meal was ready and delivered, Xie Dongli personally carried the food box and ordered someone to light the lantern of the glass hydrangea lamp in front of him to find his sleeves.
Ying Sleeve was reconciling accounts in the account room in the outer courtyard at this time.
The people in the Prince's Mansion were all personally selected by Yuan Jianren himself.
When he separated from Shen Yongjie at the beginning, he didn't like to flatter him, and he also looked down on his capable subordinates, all followed Shen Yongjie, and most of the stewards and subordinates left in his prince's mansion were first-class people who welcomed and filled their private pockets.
The accounts made by these people, in Yingshou's opinion, are simply full of loopholes, and Zhang Zhang can be slapped in the face.
She only looked at the account room for a while, and then she was so angry that her brain hurt.
Now that there are many things, if there is another mess in the account room, their prince's mansion will become an empty shelf.
Therefore, Yingsleeve didn't check the accounts one by one, she directly checked the family background of these stewards.
Look at how much net worth these people have, and then compare it with their fortunes, you can know how many corners of the palace these people have dug up.
There are four chief stewards in the Prince's Mansion, eight middle stewards, and forty minor stewards, and it is not difficult to check them one by one.
first checked from the chief steward and the middle steward, and immediately found a lot of moths.
Yingsleeve was irritable, so he was lazy to eat dinner.
At this time, I was very hungry, my liver was also hot, and my lower left abdomen was hot and painful.
She held her stomach in one hand, made calculations in the other, and confronted the four chief stewards kneeling in front of her, her face was like frost.
After Xie Dongli came in with the food box, he only glanced at the kneeling steward on the ground with his eyes, and said, "You guys go down first." ”
As if they had been pardoned, the four chief stewards hurriedly kowtowed to Yingsleeve, got up and went out backwards.
Xie Dongli put the food box in front of her and said with a smile: "No matter how busy you are, you always have to eat, right?" ”
Ying Sleeve looked up at him, and said with a tired face: "I'm not hungry, you can take it back first." ”
Xie Dongli lifted his robe, sat down opposite her, and said lightly: "If you don't eat it, then I won't eat it either." ”
