"Yes and no. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Xiao Qingcang shook his head, he looked at Xiao Xinlu's young and high-spirited face and said lightly: "You are still too young after all." ”
"Grandfather?" Xiao Xinlu was puzzled.
Xiao Qingcang's thin fingers stroked the book in his hand, and his eyes were like ink and said to him: "We and King Xuan have long been like fire and water, King Xuan and King Qing are even more immortal, after he was imprisoned before, what is wrong with us joining forces with King Qing to fall into the well, if it is King Qing or King Fu who is in trouble, King Xuan will also not show mercy, this time King Xuan is imprisoned is the best opportunity, so that we can get rid of King Xuan and the forces in his hands in one fell swoop, but the fault is wrong, you and King Qing are too angry, but they fell into the trap of others, He personally released King Xuan. ”
Xiao Xinlu was struck by lightning and looked at Xiao Qingcang in disbelief.
Xiao Qingcang said lightly: "How do you think King Xuan got out of prison?" If it weren't for your eagerness to incite the courtiers to want to put him to death, how could Your Majesty easily spare King Xuan, if there was no Cai Anyi's excerpt, Your Majesty would not have made up your mind to let King Xuan come out at all, if you could calm down and not make a move, not to provoke Your Majesty's suspicions, no matter how King Xuan made a fuss, the old man was sure that he would never have a chance to rise again, but it was a pity that ......"
Xiao Qingcang shook his head, he should have been busy with King Xuan's affairs in those days, but who knew that there was chaos within the Xiao family.
Pan Kaiyuan, a major general along the southern border, was found to have embezzled military salaries, and pretended to be a military exploit by killing coastal civilians, provoking civil unrest in the south.
There were several impeachments in the court, Xie Chen and others even encouraged the Chu Emperor to send people to arrest Pan Kaiyuan and convict him, but no one knew that Pan Kaiyuan was the Xiao family's secret chess, which had been arranged for more than ten years, and if it was destroyed, most of their power in the south would be lost for so many years, so he didn't care about King Xuan at all, but he hurriedly explained a few words to Xiao Xinlu and was busy trying to find a way to exonerate Pan Kaiyuan, who knew that at this time, Xiao Xinlu and King Qing, who had always been calm, had a mess.
He said calmly: "Your Majesty is a suspicious person, and he never allows people to disobey him, and King Xuan saw this, so he took the initiative to abandon a courtier in his hand to impeach himself, which seemed to be put to death, but in fact, he used this to arouse His Majesty's suspicions, so that he was suspicious of the assassin, and then deliberately led you to rush to get rid of him, and induced you to make a move, and once you made a move, it confirmed Your Majesty's guess in your heart." Your Majesty's most disgusting thing in his life is that the prince and the courtiers have too close contacts, sitting on a large position, and coveting the throne, your actions not only helped King Xuan, but also made Your Majesty jealous of King Qing, otherwise how could Your Majesty let King Xuan enter the palace every day for several days to accompany him, so that everyone knows how much he values King Xuan? ”
Speaking of this, he paused, and said with a heavy face: "And have you ever thought that if it weren't for the Queen Mother's timely order for you to stop, King Qing instigated most of the courtiers to impeach King Xuan, what would Your Majesty think when he saw it?" ”
Xiao Qingcang really didn't expect that King Xuan had fallen to such a point, everyone thought that he had completely lost hope, and even when the secret person came to report to Xie Chen, who had been assisting King Xuan, also turned him away, he could still find a way to turn over, not only made Emperor Chu's suspicions disappear, but also made King Qing almost lose the emperor's heart.
Xiao Xinlu listened to Xiao Qingcang's words and only felt shaken, he has always boasted that he is smart, and he feels that no one in the world is inferior to him, but at this time, listening to Xiao Qingcang's words, he felt a chill spread on his back, although Xiao Qingcang did not say it too clearly, but he understood very well, if it was really the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces followed King Qing and the Xiao family to impeach King Xuan, Emperor Chu would only think that they were persecuting him, and if there was a villain in the ear of Emperor Chu a few words, so that Emperor Chu felt that King Qing had threatened his throne, with Emperor Chu's heart, He will never let King Qing go.
Thinking of the end of such a situation, Xiao Xinlu couldn't help but clench his palm tightly and said: "That Wu Cheng is dead, how can King Xuan have such a scheming?" How dare he?! ”
Dare to be so ruthless, dare to be so poisonous, and do not hesitate to get involved in himself and put himself to death, just to pull the Xiao family and King Qing into the trap.
You must know that if he had guessed the wrong mind of Emperor Chu at that time, or if he was not in the right place, King Xuan would have been in a different place at this time, so how could he talk about the future? !
Xiao Qingcang said with a calm face: "This plan is too risky, I'm afraid it's not what King Xuan meant, and if King Xuan had known that Cai Anyi was King Qing's person, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to do it today, after all, there are too many things that can be done as Cai Anyi's identity, and this time King Xuan suddenly asked to marry Xiao Mei, the old man always felt that someone behind this was calculating my Xiao family, and that person was afraid that even King Xuan had calculated it." ”
"Grandfather, are you saying that someone is deliberately provoking a fight between us and King Xuan, and wants to make a profit?"
Xiao Qingcang nodded: "We have been fighting secretly with King Xuan and the Xie family for several years, but we have always maintained a peaceful appearance, but after these few incidents, King Xuan and we almost tore our faces, if no one provokes it, the old man will never believe it!" ”
Xiao Xinlu frowned and wondered, "Could it be King Fu?" ”
Xiao Qingcang paused, squinted slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes: "The old man's intuition is not him, he doesn't have such great ability, but no matter who it is, the old man has to see what kind of person has such a long hand and dares to pull out my Xiao family's tiger whiskers in my Xiao family's tiger mouth!" ”
After a pause, he said in a deep voice: "Lu'er, recently sent someone to keep an eye on your third uncle's family to see if they have any secret dealings with anyone, as for the marriage between Mei'er and King Xuan, since Your Majesty has already instructed her, then let your mother prepare a dowry for her to marry, so as not to tell the truth, and ...... Send someone to check on the recent movements of King Ling and King Yu. ”
Xiao Xinlu was stunned: "How could grandfather suddenly think of checking on them?" ”
Xiao Qingcang tapped on the table: "The old man always feels that there is something strange about the recent events, as if someone is secretly disturbing the troubled waters, King Ling has gained too much power recently, and King Yu is a little too quiet, and the old man is not worried about them." ”
Xiao Xinlu was silent for a moment when he heard this, and nodded fiercely with his eyes, no matter who it was, if he knew who was secretly ambushing the Xiao family, he would definitely not let that person go!
Xiao Mei, the daughter of the third room of the Xiao family, married King Xuan as a side concubine, this matter shocked many people's attention, everyone knows the relationship between the Xiao family and King Qing and King Xuan, and they all thought that the Xiao family would make a hindrance from it, but who knew that when the wedding date was approaching, the Xiao family was very generous and festive to send Xiao Mei out of the house as a daughter, and the Xuanwang Mansion did not slack off, although it was only to marry the side concubine, but its specifications were much lower than the concubine, and the red makeup outside the Xuanwang Mansion was ten miles, and the house was a big flowing water banquet, and the banquet was full of civil and military affairs, and even several princes and princes also congratulated the post, with a congratulatory gift to congratulate.
Xue Rou and Rong Jing went to King Xuan's Mansion to congratulate together, and after arriving at King Xuan's Mansion, Rong Jing was dragged by several princes and princes and couldn't pull away, and after a while, he didn't know where he went, and Xue Rou was invited by Princess Xuan to the backyard women's guest room, and many people had already known Xue Rou when they went, and knew that although she was a cloth cloth, she had a lot to do with King Ling, so most of them nodded and said hello after seeing her, and some of them didn't want to pay attention to her by themselves.
"Girl, this King Xuan's wedding, why did the good guy give you a post alone?"
Qin Xi looked around and looked at those noble ladies who were showing off their branches and only felt that the fragrance was puffy, she and Xue Rou didn't like to use spices, so they were the most impatient with these smells, she couldn't help but shrug her nose and frowned: "Your current identity is just the head of King Ling's Mansion, how can it not be your turn to say hello to King Xuan, and King Xuan has become more and more eccentric these days, and someone reported yesterday, saying that Xie Yiliu and King Xuan met in private again, and the slave always felt that something was wrong with him." ”
"How many times?"
"It's the third time this month, although Xie Yiliu disguised himself well every time, but he was discovered by our people, and King Xuan and the girl deliberately concealed the matter, and the slave and maid were afraid that they had any plans."
Xue Rou's face moved slightly when she heard this, she also faintly felt that King Xuan was a little strange these days, but she couldn't say what was weird, but he was definitely secretly planning to hide Xie Yiliu's matter, she was about to speak, but out of the corner of her eye, she saw a maid in a light green dress walking towards them, Xue Rou couldn't help but glance at Qin Xi, Qin Xi suddenly realized and quickly straightened up and stood beside Xue Rou.
"But Xue Rou, the head of the Ling Palace, Miss Xue?" The maid saluted Xue Rou and said with a smile and respectfully.
Xue Rou nodded lightly: "You are?" ”
"The slave's name is Taorui, Miss Xue, my young lady wants to invite you to talk about it."
"I wonder who your young lady is?"
Tao Rui smiled respectfully: "My young lady and the girl are acquaintances, and Miss Xue will naturally know when she goes." ”
Xue Rou glanced at the maid twice, at this time the banquet had not yet begun, King Xuan was still accompanying the guests in the front yard, there must be nothing to do, so she nodded after thinking about it and said, "Lead the way." ”
Tao Rui took Xue Rou and Qin Xi away from the place where the crowd gathered, and walked towards the path, a few people passed by the lake in King Xuan's mansion, and walked in the opposite direction to the banquet, the surroundings became quieter and quieter, only occasionally the rustle of the wind blowing the trees, Qin Xi's eyes had a vigilant look, and he followed Xue Rou closely, but Xue Rou had been unmoved with a faint expression, and after a while, the maid took the two to stop behind a rockery.
There was already a figure standing there, with a beautiful skirt and red makeup, a slender back, a hairpin on top of the green silk swaying lightly, and the footsteps of several people when they arrived alarmed the woman, and I saw her turn around slowly, that gentle and light smile with an unusually soft face Isn't Xie Yiliu who is it?
"Miss Xue is really difficult to invite, I have sent a post to Miss Xue several times before, and Miss Xue was reluctant to go to the appointment, but fortunately, I finally met here today."
Xue Rou said lightly when she heard this: "King Ling's Mansion is busy, and I, as the head of King Ling's Mansion, can't leave my post without permission, so I didn't go to the appointment, and I ask Miss Xie to forgive me." ”
Xie Yiliu said with a smile when he heard this: "That's right, His Royal Highness King Ling has a lot of trust in you, not only will you hand over the entire Ling Wang's Mansion to you to manage, but even the affairs of the dynasty will be decided by you for him, if he doesn't trust you, he won't borrow your hand to provoke the dispute between King Xuan and King Qing, and because of you, otherwise we probably wouldn't know until now, His Royal Highness King Ling turned out to be the one who hid the deepest." ”
Xue Rou was surprised when she heard this, and her eyes were full of puzzlement: "What does Miss Xie mean by this, what is the one that is hidden the deepest?" ”
Xie Yiliu said with a mocking face: "Do you still want to pretend at this moment?" Since I have asked you to come here today, I must have been completely sure, I already know what you and King Ling have done, King Ling has been pretending to be crazy and stupid for so many years, but I don't want what he originally wanted to be the biggest! ”
Xue Rou's expression changed slightly when she heard this, Xie Yiliu is not a straw bag, since she dares to say this, it means that she is already fully sure of the role she and Rong Jing played in the previous matter, and the matter of her secretly provoking King Xuan and King Qing must have been known to her, but she was sure that there was no flaw left, how did Xie Yiliu know?
She said quietly and lightly: "What does Miss Xie want to say?" ”
"Don't you know what I'm talking about? If you weren't able to help King Ling succeed, why would King Ling be so caring and take you wherever you go, could it be that he really fell in love with you? ”
Xue Rou said lightly when she heard this: "Miss Xie's words are bad, if you want to say that no one can compare to Lord Xie to Miss Xie Si, today is King Xuan's great joy, I just came with His Royal Highness King Ling to congratulate him, rubbing King Xuan's joy, but Miss Xie Si, I heard that you were frightened on the official ship on the day of the Hundred Flowers Festival, and lingered on the sickbed for a long time, but I didn't expect to see it today but in good spirits, I can't see the slightest sickness, congratulations." ”
Xie Yiliu's face changed suddenly, and Xue Rou's words were clearly revealing her bottom, saying that she was hiding at home and didn't dare to see anyone because she used her sister to block the knife.
Xie Yiliu suddenly sank his face and said coldly: "Miss Xue's eloquence is really good, no wonder His Royal Highness King Ling, who can coax you, takes you into the palace regardless of the rules." ”
Xue Rou smiled faintly and said: "Thank you for the compliment, but Xue Rou admires Miss Xie Si even more, I heard that it has been less than a month since the official ship, and Lord Xie and the old lady are willing to let Miss Xie Si out of the house, and I don't know what Miss Xie San, who is still lying on the sickbed and unable to get out of bed, thinks in her heart?" ”
"You!"
Xie Yiliu saw that Xue Rou grabbed Xie Jiaxuan's matter, and repeatedly stepped on her sore spots, her eyes were full of anger, she squinted slightly at Xue Rou's cold face, and after a while, she didn't get angry, but looked at Xue Rou gloomily, and suddenly smiled after a while: "Since Miss Xue cares so much about my third sister, she has never seen Miss Xue visit the house for so long after being injured by thieves, my third sister is very disappointed for this, today I was entrusted by the third sister to come to see Miss Xue, the third sister said that if I can meet by luck, let me tell Miss Xue, She misses you very much, let me tell Miss Xue that if she has time, go to Xie Mansion to see her. ”
Xue Rou listened to Xie Yiliu's words, but she became cautious in her heart, she thought that she could provoke Xie Yiliu, but she didn't want her to be so angry, her eyes changed, her palms were slowly clenched, and she was secretly on guard. (To be continued.) )
