Chapter Seventy-Two: Attracting Tigers to Fight
As soon as the two entered the courtyard, there were few people inside. Yao Duran led her to her room, and after closing the door, Yao Duran turned to look at her and asked, "Mrs. Du, what do you mean just now that the princess poisoned that teapot and wanted to harm me?" ”
Xie Yuanzhi glanced out the window uneasily, and then nodded: "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes, and also, it is difficult to be a good person, I can help you, I hope you don't hurt me, no matter what, don't recruit me." ”
After hearing this, Yao Duran suddenly sneered: "Xie Yuanzhi, are you helping me, or are you harming me?" ”
"What do you mean by that?" Xie Yuanzhi said.
Yao Duran snorted coldly: "You are stupid yourself, and you want to treat me as a fool?" That pot of tea is no problem at all! Why did the princess poison that pot of tea? How can the princess be sure that the pot of tea will be drunk by me? Isn't the princess afraid of poisoning her brother and sister-in-law? Xie Yuanzhi, you want to play tricks with me, please learn to be smarter and come again! ”
"You ......," Xie Yuanzhi concluded.
"Speechless?" Yao Duran approached lightly, and forced her to retreat step by step with her momentum: "Xie Yuanzhi, I believe that you have heard about the princess's heart and Qiao Fengzhi after returning to Beijing, but this matter is not over after all, and the princess and I are fine." So, you want to provoke me and the princess with a pot of tea, so that I will be in a mess, and then I will be the enemy of the princess! And I'm just an official wife, how can I fight the princess? Xie Yuanzhi, it is indeed a good trick to lead a tiger to fight and kill people with a knife, but you don't make it at all! When you broke that pot of tea, you were already a clown in my eyes! Do you think you can fool me with that little bit of cleverness? You broke the teapot and acted as a good person in front of me, but also ruined the evidence. You're afraid I'll take that pot of tea to a drug test, and when I find out it's not toxic, your lies will be gone, right? ”
After hearing this, Xie Yuanzhi was stunned for a moment. At this moment, she suddenly realized how powerful the person in front of her was. It was she who took the tiger for a cat.
Seeing that she was silent, Yao Duran sneered: "Why don't you speak?" Xie Yuanzhi, as we all know, although Du Yan is in a high position, he has never taken a concubine, only you are a wife, you have never participated in the struggle between women at all, you are like a flower in a greenhouse, you don't know the wind and rain and don't understand people's hearts, thinking that others are as stupid and brainless as you. You are really ridiculous, empty of the heart of harm, but not the brain of harm, you are digging your own grave. ”
"What nonsense are you talking about, I don't understand!" After speaking, Xie Yuanzhi bypassed her and left, at this moment, I don't know whether she was ashamed of her stupidity, or she was shocked by her awesomeness, she hated to put on her wings and fly out quickly.
However, Yao Duran still grabbed her wrist fiercely and said coldly, "Don't go!" Xie Yuanzhi, I really want to know, why do you hate me? Why do you keep holding on to me? We're not all the way, and we don't have anything to do with each other, so I can't get in your way anyway, right? Also, don't talk about Du Yan's death, I don't think that just for a dead Du Yan, you will hate me so much, in the end, she is just Du Yan's sister, and there is still a layer of separation from you, I really don't believe that you and Du Yan will be so affectionate. ”
"Not bad! I'm not here for Du Yu! I used to hate you because of her, but I just insulted you a few words. And now, I have my own reasons to hate you and hurt you! If you want to know, I'll not tell you! Xie Yuanzhi did not hide her malice.
Yao Duran didn't let her go and asked, "What is the reason?" Could it be that you have always hated Qiao Fengzhi for coercing Du Yan to surrender, so you cut off Du Yan's imperial road and your mother's road to the world? But you can't do anything with Qiao Fengzhi, so you have to take revenge on me? ”
Xie Yuanzhi said: "Yao Duran, I'll tell you the truth, this reason is not nothing, but it is by no means a hurdle that cannot be overcome!" Thinking about me now, the wife of the fourth-grade official in the DPRK and China, although it is still worse than before, it is not bad to be able to do this under the destruction of the country. ”
Yao Duran saw that she was willing to say a few sincere words, so she struck while the iron was hot: "Then what is the hurdle in your heart that I can't get over?" ”
Xie Yuanzhi sneered: "I said, I won't tell you!" I'm going to watch you live in the fog! ”
Yao Duran listened, and suddenly approached her, testing the answer: "Is it possible, you also have a crush on Qiao Fengzhi?" ”
When Xie Yuanzhi heard this, his eyes showed disdain: "Even if all the men in the world are dead, I won't have a crush on that dog thief!" ”
As soon as the words fell, I only heard a crisp sound of "pop"! Yao Duran had already raised her hand and slapped her hard.
Xie Yuanzhi was shocked, she covered her face and stared at Yao Duran fiercely with her eyes open, gritting her teeth and saying, "Yao Duran!" You and I are both four-grade official wives, why did you slap me unscrupulously? ”
"Why?" Yao Duran grabbed her wrist again, her beautiful eyes were like knives: "Just because you steal chickens and rice, you can't lose the handle, but you drop the handle in my hands!" This slap is what you deserve, and you can bear it! If you dare to speak out, or dare to sue, I will truthfully report to the princess what you provoked today, and then see who the princess will be the first to deal with! Also, I warn you, if you still try to push me to my death, I will definitely let you die before me! Don't forget, I'm the one who came out of the hands of a generation of poisoners! It's just that now I just want a stable and peaceful life with my husband, and I don't fight, but if anyone wants my life, I am definitely not a person who allows others to pinch and knead the round! ”
"Get out!" Yao Duran said this before throwing off her arm. Xie Yuanzhi suffered a big dumb loss because of her stupidity, and she was full of anger but had nothing to say, so she had to glare at her with hatred, and then fled.
Yao Duran slowly turned to look at her back, and she really didn't know what was the reason why this stupid woman kept holding on to her!
After leaving the room, Yao Duran hurriedly walked. Xindao Qiao Fengzhi couldn't wait for her, and when he saw that there was no figure of her in the rest area on the edge of the field, he should be in a hurry.
She walked quickly, and when she was about to reach the gate of the courtyard, she suddenly saw a scene that surprised her.
I saw that behind the arched round door, a man supported the wall with both hands and circled the green diaphragm in the middle, and his behavior was very ambiguous. Green was pressed against the wall by him, and he was looking panicked and refused.
"Green Diaphragm!" Yao Duran shouted.
The man turned around, and it turned out to be Huo Jingxiao, the king.
As if he saw a savior, Lu Yan immediately broke free and ran to Yao Duran's side. Yao Duran looked at Huo Jingxiao, and saw that he seemed to be fine, still smiling evilly, Yao Duran bowed his knees: "The concubine has seen His Royal Highness King Cheng." The little maid in the family is timid, Your Highness is a gentleman, don't scare her. ”
Huo Jingxiao straightened his clothes casually, and suddenly realized: "It turned out to be the maid of the Qiao family, how did the palace say that she was born so beautiful." That's it, the hall is used to being romantic, and when you see a beauty, you have no soul, not because you mean to offend, Mrs. Qiao will take care of it. ”
"His Royal Highness is serious, and the concubine is retired." Yao Duran was too lazy to say, saluted, pulled the green diaphragm and left in a hurry.
When the two of them walked away, Lu Yan hurriedly said: "Madam, just now Gongzi Qiao ordered the slave and maid to look for you everywhere, and the slave and maid wanted to take a look at the side courtyard, who knew that as soon as he entered the courtyard, His Royal Highness King Cheng came out from behind him coldly, he ...... He didn't let the slave and maid go, and he molested a lot, and the slave and maid were frightened. ”
Yao Duran patted her hand and comforted, "Don't be afraid, stay away from him in the future." ”
Lu Yan hesitated, and after a long time, he said weakly: "Madam, His Royal Highness Cheng Wang has his own intentions and purposes for doing this. Mrs. may not know him, but the slave maid is a person from Nanqian, and she has been exposed to it in the past few years, and she also knows a little about him. Although the slave didn't know what his purpose was in hooking up with the slave, it was by no means unintentional to provoke him. ”
When Yao Duran heard this, he was skeptical: "Lu Yan, are you sure that he didn't tease you for no reason?" ”
Lu Yan nodded: "Among these princes, only His Royal Highness King Cheng is like a mystery, sometimes acting wildly, sometimes restrained and wise, like good and not good, like evil and not evil." But he strives for the top of the world and never does useless work. Besides, he has never teased any maid, and today he suddenly made this move to the slave maid, I am afraid that it is not good. ”
Yao Duran listened, and her heart was complicated. Lu Yan is just her maidservant, and she is just an official wife, Qiao Fengzhi is a subordinate, he is a dignified prince, what can he do in the middle? Looking at it now, it has gradually entered a complicated situation, surrounded by strong people, there are real dragons on it, and there are dragons on the bottom, all of them are stable and stable, evil and evil, absurd and absurd, and there is an arrogant princess, although there is no movement at the moment, but for no reason she feels that this is just the calm before the storm, hey.
The day's work was soon over. The garden was calm and the work went smoothly, day after day, and finally after eight days of work, all the wheat was harvested. Everyone retreated, talked and laughed and went to rest on the road, looking at the bare wheat fields while waiting for the meal to begin. The emperor and queen walked slowly along the edge of the field, and seeing that everyone was doing a good job, Emperor Qiandi praised and encouraged everyone.
Huo Jingyao saw that he was in a good mood, and said with a big grin: "Father, this year's work is not as good as last year!" Last year, it only took six days to harvest the wheat, but this year it took eight days, what about me, in order to share the worries of my father, I have figured out what the problem is, I don't know if my father is willing to listen? ”
After hearing this, Emperor Qiandi gave him a good face in front of everyone, and said with a smile: "Oh? What is the reason, let's hear it. ”
Huo Jingyao looked at everyone with an unhappy face, and said, "Father, the problem is, there are too many people who are in love this year!" No one is working hard, all you and I are gone! The tenth brother only married the princess this year, and the two newlyweds are like glue, so they can't wait to cut a piece of wheat and kiss it. Let's talk about the sister-in-law Ling in the East Palace of our sixth brother, then she can't live if she doesn't stick to the sixth brother! Ah yes, and Qiao Fengzhi, I saw it, he almost lay down in the field with his wife in his arms, and ......"
"Shut up." When Emperor Qiandi heard that it was really not an elegant remark, his face turned blue and white for a while, and the queen covered her mouth and laughed silently.
And the rest of the people also held back their laughter, but they didn't dare to laugh, and they were red and red-eared one by one. Only a few people named and accused by Huo Jingyao were ashamed and hated to dig a hole in the ground.
Huo Jingyao continued without fear of death: "So, father, the next step is to go to the bud rice field to break the bud rice, if you want to finish this work as soon as possible this year, if you can spare time to have fun, you still have to separate all the men and women." ”
