Last time, Gongxiangxiao suddenly appeared and killed Xinqing as a warning, although it has been a headless public case until now, and it is generally believed that Yue Jieyu is the culprit, but after all, the incident happened in the deep palace, Queen Ji investigated thoroughly, and the palace was heavily guarded, which was better than before.

…… may be for this reason, Gong Xiangxiao didn't dare to act arbitrarily this time, but changed into a chamberlain dress, stood behind a collapsed palace wall, and watched Yun Fenghuan approach with an expressionless face.

"Thank you, Shizi!" Yun Fenghuan smiled and groaned, and when he came to the front of him, he said with a spring breeze on his face, "When Xijing Xile arrived at Huzhu Palace before, Xijing was arrogant and domineering, but Xile was considerate and gentle, and the concubines thought that although they were out of Yanfu Palace together, they had different temperaments, and they didn't think that Xile was looking at the face of the world...... If she hadn't explained it today, the concubine would have thought that she was lucky to meet a sensible subordinate! ”

Gong Xiangxiao said lightly: "This Shizi still thinks that as soon as you show your face, you will accuse Ben Shizi of lying to you." ”

"Is the concubine such an unreasonable person?" Yun Fenghuan stroked his sideburns and said with a smile, "At the beginning, the concubine originally wanted a clever and capable person to be a helper, but this Xile responded to the concubine's request in all aspects, and the concubine Xie Shizi was too late...... Besides, the concubine has always thought that within the three palaces and six courtyards, the most fearful thing is the queen's mother, but the prince can stretch out his hand to Yanfu Palace, which shows the power of the means, and the concubine is really glad that she strayed into the small square pot and had to meet the prince. Otherwise, where can you find a backer like Shizi now? ”

"You're thinking too much." Gong Xiangxiao said coldly, "This time I was able to let Xile go to your side, purely because Empress Ji didn't want the Ji family to know what she was doing in private, and the number of people who could use it was limited, so there was an opportunity." Under normal circumstances, the Ji family's loopholes are so easy to exploit, how can they be in power over the government and the opposition all these years? ”

He paused and said in a deep voice, "Actually, the queen has begun to suspect that there is a connection between you and me!" ”

Yun Feng Huang suddenly restrained his smile, frowned, and said, "Xinqing's death is troublesome, right?" I said, everyone is killed, what do you do is Yanlan Palace and Chengyue Palace, make it so big, the Queen Mother knows it, can you not make a big move? Originally, she was just a palace maid, just find a secluded corner or a dry well or something like that, and no one found out for ten days and half a month, won't this matter pass? Now, what do you say! ”

"What should I do?" Gong Xiangxiao looked at her with some sneer, "Isn't it the nobleman who thinks of countermeasures himself?" What is the use of the queen's suspicion in this world? Slow to say that she has no evidence, even if there is evidence, the regent palace will not fall for a day, even if the nobles stand up to testify against this son, what can she do? ”

"So the son of the world will be fine?" Yun Fenghuan was not annoyed when he heard this, but showed a relieved expression, "Then the concubine is relieved, anyway, the queen has a big plan, and she doesn't care so much about His Majesty's face." So even if it is determined that the concubine has anything to do with the prince, as long as the prince does not fall, the queen is still willing to keep the concubine and see if it can be used in key places...... Speaking of which, I really want to thank the prince, the concubine has been a little quiet recently, but she is afraid that if she does too much, she will make the queen unhappy, but since she knows that she still has such a use, what are you hesitating about? ”

Gong Xiangxiao knew that she was articulate, sneered a few times and didn't mean to continue arguing, but said, "Two things first, what do you want to do with Wei Changkong?" Second, my father recently planned to recommend several people to join the ranks, and among them was a son of a large family who came from afar...... It seems that there is an old relationship with a nobleman, but I don't know if I want this son to arrange for you to reminisce about the past? ”

Yun Fenghuang squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "First thing, the concubine has no good intentions towards Yue Jieyu, and Wei Changkong, although there are no grievances and festivals, but since this person is about to become the mentor of the younger brother of the prince, he is naturally also the enemy of the concubine!" The concubine was grateful for the help of the prince, so she planned to use Yue Jieyu's hand to drag this person into the water...... Isn't the prince happy? ”

"As for the second ......"

The corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and the smile became thicker, "If the prince is talking about Qi Jiulu, then there is no need to arrange to catch up with the concubine, the concubine has nothing to say to him...... The son of the world is compared to the original example of Xinqing! ”

"The nobleman is really ruthless." This answer obviously made Gong Xiangxiao not very satisfied, he frowned, and said, "I heard that that person is a noble childhood sweetheart, and the deep love is not under His Majesty and the Yuan family...... Even if they are separated for some reason, don't you miss the old love at all? ”

Yun Fenghuang pondered, "Maybe it's because the concubine is cold and jade, and she doesn't want to do that thing in the twilight of the Qin Dynasty?" ”

Gong Xiangxiao didn't bother to pay attention to her nonsense, "Qi Xinyun said that there is something important to tell you, about Sister Ling's death...... Oh, Xinyun is Qi Jiulu's word. ”

"The prince himself said so, even if the concubine is impatient to see the surnamed Qi, can she not give the prince face?" Yun Fenghuang immediately said with a smile, "When is it convenient for the prince?" Your Majesty was sent by the queen to take turns summoning newcomers in each palace in the past two days, and after a few days, maybe you will come to Huzhu Palace often, so you see? ”

Gong Xiangxiao sneered: "Clever words! This son will arrange it as soon as possible, and Xile will tell you any news. ”

He knew that Yun Fenghuang came out to see the Xie family this time, and it would be suspicious to delay for too long, so after saying this, he planned to leave...... Before leaving, I thought about it, "This Shizi just asked people to throw Xinqing's body into Chengyue Palace before, and the Cui family has always been dustless under their own fate, but they didn't think that Concubine Xin acted decisively, and even dragged Yanlan Palace into the water silently." If it weren't for Zheng Guifei's vigilance left and right, and let the concubine witness the tragic situation of Chi Piao with her own eyes, I'm afraid that the fetus will be unstable? It is said that you searched the palace with Concubine Xin before? If you have anything to do with her in the future, keep an eye on it! Otherwise, if you die and are disabled, don't worry, don't drag down this life! ”

Yun Fenghuan, who was about to leave, was slightly stunned, "What? Xinqing actually got Concubine Xin to go to Yanlan Palace? Where did she come from?! ”

"How does this son know?" Gong Xiangxiao sneered and walked away.

He quietly returned to the Taichu Palace of the former dynasty, changed back into the clothes of the prince, and took the little servant Dou Su who stayed here and went out of the palace to return home.

The regent's palace is Xuanhe, day and night, the doors are like a city, the carriages and horses are like flowing water, because Wei Changkong now lives in the guest house, many people in the forest come to visit, but it is more lively.

Seeing the return of the Shizi frame, they gave way one after another, and there was no lack of envy and awe when they looked at the frame.

It's just that Gong Xiangxiao noticed it, but he laughed at himself in his heart.

But I remembered that Gongxiangji was ushered in the imperial capital from Fuyang County to ascend the throne, and the frame honor guard was so ostentatious all the way. At that time, he was led by his father to the suburbs, and the group set off before dawn, and waited for a few hours in the long pavilion before he came to report that the honor guard of the Son of Heaven had arrived in about an hour.

So a cadre of important ministers and clansmen, tidying up their appearance, lined up to wait outside the pavilion, and saw the flags fluttering and the hooves and dust from a distance, so they hurriedly knelt on the ground and greeted the Son of Heaven...... At that time, he was ignorant, but he was instinctively unconvinced.

Therefore, although he also knelt down behind his father, he was unwilling to throw himself to the ground according to the etiquette, and touched the ground where the wheels of the Son of Heaven rolled with his forehead. When the royal driver arrived closer, he saw the so-called Son of Heaven through the shaking bead curtain at a glance, Gong Xiangji was fifteen years old at the time, his eyebrows and eyes were young, and his expression was a panic that could not be concealed even if he was calm.

This is not surprising, Gong Xiangxiao, who was only ten years old at the time, thought indifferently, this clan brother was only a prince of the domain before, relying on his mother and no children, he had to rely on him as the old queen, and planned painstakingly, so that he had the title of the prince, and he had been in such a small place in Fuyang County, how much knowledge can he have?

Can he not be frightened by such a scene, and can he not be overwhelmed?

Gong Xiangxiao even hoped with malice that he would roll off the frame directly because he was too nervous, and make a big ugly appearance in front of many courtiers and clans, to see what kind of face the Ji family still had to insist on setting up this inexplicable person, not his father?!

…… Thinking about it later, it was not so much that he was full of hostility towards Gong Xiangji at that time, but that he was full of jealousy.

hated the cousin who never even thought of it before, but he had the blessing of ascending to the throne; Jealous of Gongxiangji, his original status was far inferior to his own, but once he rose to the top, he had to bow down and kowtow, and the mountain shouted long live; was jealous of his father's camp, who had worked hard to plan but missed, but mistakenly chose Gongxiangji, who was far away in Fuyang and had little to do with the turbulent waves in the court......

This jealousy has largely disappeared in recent years.

Because the step-concubine gave birth to a son, he was born as the son of the regent Yuan Concubine, and the natural heir to the palace became more and more embarrassing in the palace, and became more and more like an outsider...... At this time, he was even a little glad that after Emperor Xiaozong left, the new monarch was Gongxiangji, not his father.

What would he be in that situation?

Will he live to be this old?

Gong Xiangxiao closed his eyes and forcibly interrupted his thoughts.

When he entered the palace, he first went to the study to greet the regent, and the regent also asked the scholar to come out and tell him that he didn't need to be polite, and by the way, he asked if there was any trouble or other things in the palace that needed to be reported, and when he heard that everything was going on, he let him go and rest.

These words were basically between the regent's scholar and Dou Su, and the father and son never met.

Not to mention talking.

After leaving the study, Gong Xiangxiao happened to meet his step-concubine who was carrying a food box on the way back to the courtyard where he lived.

"The prince is back?" When Lu Shi saw him, he smiled, gentle and virtuous, as when he entered the door at the beginning of the year, he smiled and said, "It seems that he has lost a little weight again, isn't it that the weather is hot and he has no appetite?" Later, I will ask the small kitchen to stew some soup for you...... The people around you should also be careful......"

chattering, like his mother, even if he glanced at Dou Su with disgust, it was soft and not serious, as if he was just casually speaking, but Dou Su subconsciously shrank his head, and admitted his mistake in a trembling voice, "Little guilt!" ”

"Thank you, Princess." Gong Xiangxiao frowned slightly, and blocked the scholar sideways, lukewarm, "I think the child has grown taller, so it looks like he has lost weight, and the mother concubine, please take care...... The child will go to see his brother later, I don't know if it's convenient? ”

Referring to his biological son, Lu's smile was sluggish, and he chuckled, "I'm afraid it won't work, Zhen'er has weak bones, and he just took medicine before he fell asleep." ”

This answer is not what Gong Xiangxiao expected, the Lu family has always disliked him to have too much contact with Gong Xiangzhen, and the reason every time is that Gong Xiangzhen is not in good health, but in fact, Gong Xiangxiao occasionally sees that younger brother a few times, where is it not good to be full of energy?

If I used to have some complicated feelings for this younger brother, I was completely too lazy to get close to him now.

Saying this at this moment is just to avoid what the Lu clan will do to Dou Su with the snake...... Before, the Lu family used this excuse to eradicate the manpower left by his own mother Dou.

“…… You go to Cuiyuan and invite Qi Gongzi to come over. After saying goodbye to the Lu family, Gong Xiangxiao took three steps and two steps back to his residence, freshened up a little, changed his homely robe, and died, "Come and go smartly, don't let irrelevant people find out." ”

Dou Su took the order and left, and after about half a burnt incense, he entered in a green shirt.
