Chapter 41: Entering the Palace
The speed at which the four princes transported the internal force was extremely fast in an instant, and in a hurry, Tonggu had no choice but to use his mind to transfer Sogdia out. The sudden appearance of Sogdia surprised the four princes, and they almost stumbled to the ground. The four princes immediately changed their bodies, grabbed the ground with their feet downward, and landed firmly on the ground.
Sogdia was also taken aback, and was a little caught off guard when he was suddenly transferred out and was about to enter a combat state immediately. Fortunately, the muscle memory of the body, which usually practiced hard, allowed Sogdian to slide to a favorable position in a hurry. After standing firm, Sogdian looked at Tonggu with a complicated gaze, but Tonggu looked at the four princes without squinting.
Tonggu patted the dust on his body, stood firm and said, "Fourth Highness, you don't need to be murderous to me. We can cooperate. ”
Hearing this, the fourth prince relaxed a little, and waved his hand behind him to signal the secret guard to retreat. "Oh? What's a good proposal for the Three Girls? ”
Tsuya sat back in his seat and said, "We will take what we need, and we will all be happy." I have all the treasures here, and I can give them to you infinitely, so that you can all get rich together. ”
"Three girls, you don't think that Hongu is stupid enough to believe that you are seeking wealth, right?" The four princes scoffed, lifted their robes and sat down.
"When did I say I was asking for money?" Tsuya had an insatiable expression.
The fourth prince sneered and said, "Then tell me, this palace is quite interested in this." ”
"I want a piece of land to be king. Who says a woman must marry a woman? There are many women like my mother who have been abused to death by their own husbands, and I don't want others to control their fate. I want absolute power, but my ambition is not that big, I only need a pure land, a state and a county. Tonggu made an impassioned statement.
"It's a little interesting, it's really different from other women, no wonder my seventh brother is obsessed with asking his father for marriage." The fourth prince stared at the three girls of the Lei family in front of him, born with a pair of red eyes, this is the most taboo eye in Yu Kingdom, if it is not for the investigation of his life experience, it really makes people have to suspect that it is the remnants of Yao Kingdom.
"Don't misunderstand the Fourth Highness, I am just friends with the Seventh Highness, I am a mercenary person, and whoever gives me benefits is naturally my friend." Tonggu looked at the four princes with a smile.
The two looked at each other, and it was the first time that the four princes saw a burning fire of ambition in the eyes of a woman. "This palace likes ambitious women, so let's talk about how you can cooperate."
"This is simple, in the future, the Treasure Pavilion will be under my control, and the treasure will also be out of me, and I will give you sixty percent of the profits, how about it?" Tonggu is simple and refreshing, straight to the point.
"And after that?" The fourth prince asked.
"You use money for nothing more than to seize the throne. You use your money to buy food, horses, wages, and weapons. I don't care about these, I only have one request, when the matter is completed, give me a state and county in the south, I want to establish myself as a king, and from then on I will be good friends with Yu like a brother. Tsuya made his request vividly.
The fourth prince laughed and said, "Okay, happy." Then do what you say. The Treasure Pavilion is yours to manage. ”
The Four Princes handed a token to Tonggu, who took it and thanked him. "Thank you, Your Highness, Natonggu will retire first."
The fourth prince stretched out his hand to stop Tonggu and said, "Wait a minute, there is something unknown in the palace, Diao Shuhua was killed by you?" ”
Tonggu's expression was unwavering, and he said calmly: "I have also heard about my sister's disappearance, could it be that my sister was killed?" ”
"It's not you, you step down." The fourth prince waved his hand to make Tonggu retreat.
Sogdian followed behind Tonggu in a daze, and after getting into the carriage, he asked eagerly, "What is the situation?" Can you prepare for it in the future? ”
Tonggu looked at the Sogdian on his upper body, and laughed. "Why didn't you wear any clothes when it happened just now?"
"I was getting ready to take a shower, and then I came out light. The key thing is that when I came out, the face of the fourth prince appeared in front of my eyes, which scared me. Sogdian said with his hands folded over his chest.
Tonggu covered his mouth and smiled: "The fourth prince suddenly rushed over, I don't know witchcraft, so I can only call you out." Don't be angry, go back and let the cook cook something for you. ”
After the danger, the whole person relaxed, and Tonggu secretly returned to the space to take a bath after returning to the shallow courtyard, and the modern bath made Tonggu feel comfortable physically and mentally. When Tonggu can't sleep at night, he will chat with Tongshu through the group flowers, and occasionally interspersed with the sound of Shang Yishe. Tongshu Tongshu can hear the dialogue between Shangyishe and Tonggu, and the frequent dialogue has shortened the distance between each other, and Tongshu's heart has also let go of the mustard of Shangyishe.
A few days of leisure time, Tonggu leisurely wandered around the yard. The winter items in the courtyard are almost ready, and because Shang Yishe and the Seven Princes have sent a lot of things, there are a lot of winter items left.
After taking inventory of the items, Chef Yu found Tonggu who was wandering around and said, "Three girls, there are a lot of things left in the courtyard, I don't know what the girl wants to do with it?" ”
Tonggu didn't like these chores, so he only said casually: "Send it to the sixth sister, their yard has never been rich, and it is estimated that they are reluctant to buy too many winter items." ”
Chef Yu was quick to do things, and soon arranged for the little maid to send the things to the cloud cinema. Two hours later, Shen Mi took Tong Dai to Jueqian Courtyard.
"Third girl, how are you sending us New Year's goods, it's even more grand than the next dowry, and my aunt is too happy." Judge Mi will take the lead every place she goes, after all, she is a northern woman, and her temperament is very bold.
"Yes, third sister, so many things fill our little yard." Tong Dai chimed in.
Tonggu didn't know how many things were left, but after listening to the mother and daughter, they knew that there were so many, and it seemed that Shang Yishe and the Seven Princes were indeed generous. "I don't feel sorry for how much to give to the sixth sister, you can keep it and use it slowly."
"Third sister, our mother and daughter don't live well, and we can't get any decent New Year's gifts. I embroidered a purse for you with my own hands, I hope you don't dislike it. Tong Dai stuffed a purse embroidered with camellia flowers into Tong Gu.
Tonggu took the purse and looked at it carefully. The round purse is like Tong Dai's lovely face, and a few white camellia flowers are embroidered on the blue satin, and the petals of the camellia are also round and very pleasing. Tongya was very happy to see the style of the purse, as refreshing as being in the middle of the mountains and flowing water, occasionally splashed with water droplets on his cheeks. "Thank you Sixth Sister, I really can't put it down, it's so beautiful."
Shen Mi suddenly remembered that Tonggu didn't know how to embroider, and his mother died early because he was crazy, and this kind of purse must be rare on weekdays. Although there are purses sold on the street, there are no gifts from relatives. Thinking of this, Shen Mi couldn't help but feel sad, took Tonggu's little hand and said: "Good boy, if you like it, my aunt will embroider a few more for you, I don't dare to say anything valuable, the purse is enough." ”
"I'll embroider for my sister too." Tong Dai laughed on the side, and a pair of pear vortex followed the trial and said.
Tonggu's heart was like a spring breeze, a warm current lingered, and there was more color in his eyes. "Okay."
Lingxu hurriedly walked into the room with a worried face and said, "Girl, there is a palace official in the front yard, saying that he is inviting a girl into the palace." ”
"It's a strange thing." Tsuya said with a playful expression.
The official who came to Lei Mansion was surnamed Hu, and he was dressed as a steward eunuch. His expression was stern and his tone was stiff. Tonggu followed the Hu Temple people all the way into the palace, and there was not a word on the way. Tonggu was brought to the "Changding Palace" by the Hu Temple people, which is the second largest palace in the palace, and lives the queen mother of the world.
Tonggu stepped forward and knelt down and saluted, looking calm. "Meet the queen, Niangniang Jin'an."
The queen's eyebrows were lowered, and she looked at Tonggu with contempt and said, "You are Lei Tonggu, the third daughter of the Lei family?" The queen didn't mean to let Tonggu get up.
"It's the courtier." Tongya slowly got up and replied.
The people of Hu Temple scolded: "Bold, the queen didn't let you get up, how dare you get up without permission?" It's really unruly, and it's not good to kneel. ”
Tonggu ignored the people of Hu Temple, and only smiled and said to the queen: "Queen mother, the courtiers are now the county lords, and according to the rules of Yuguo, the courtiers do not have to kneel and worship." Now the courtiers have humbly bowed and bowed, and there are still rules. ”
"Such a sharp mouth, and you don't weigh your own weight, just because you also want to marry the son of the mourning family?" The queen's tone was stiff and her eyes were fierce.
"Back to the queen's mother, it is His Majesty who gave the courtiers and the Seventh Highness the marriage, not the courtiers' wishes." Tonggu still looked indifferent.
"Dare to talk back, it's really upside down, give the mourning family a palm." The queen was furious and pointed at Tonggu and reprimanded.
The female official beside the queen stepped forward quickly, raised her hand, and prepared to slap Tonggu. Tonggu leaned back, and the female officer threw herself into the air, and the whole person fell to the ground due to excessive force.
"Queen Mother, you don't have to be so angry, you just don't want your courtiers to marry the Seventh Highness, which is also in line with the courtiers' intentions. It's better for us to work together, so that everyone can be happy. Tonggu was not afraid, and his tone was steady.
"What qualifications do you have to negotiate with the mourners? The mourning family sees that you are tired of living, come on, arrest this slut to the mourning family. The queen was a little emotionally out of control, and before she could finish speaking, she was already spitting out a mouthful of blood, "What's the matter?" What have you done to the mourners? ”
"Queen Mother, if you don't give me a way to live, then I can only pull you along." On the way to the palace, Tonggu communicated with Sogdian with his mind that as long as he could get his hands on any object of the empress's mother, Sogdian could perform witchcraft. Of course, the longer you follow the queen, the better the effect will be. Tong Gu took advantage of the female official's appearance to take the handkerchief from the female official who had been used to serve the queen's meal, and the queen then fell into witchcraft.
"Do you know that assassinating the queen is a crime of the Nine Clans?" The female officer was on the sidelines to intimidate Tonggu.
Tonggu sneered and said, "I can't live, I still care about them?" Doesn't the queen mother know that our Lei family is weak? ”
"It's the first time that the mourning family has met such a brazen person, so the mourning family should capsize in the gutter and quickly bring the antidote." The queen's tone became different from before, and it seemed to be a little kind.
Tonggu used his mind to casually conjure up a Qi Regulating Pill and gave it to the empress, telling Sogdian to stop.
The queen said smoothly: "You girl is too vicious, the mourning family just wants to test you, and almost took her life, what a loss." ”
Tonggu was stunned for a moment, then reacted, and hurriedly apologized and said: "It's all the fault of the courtiers, and I hope that the queen mother Haihan." ”
"That's it, pity my son, find such a daughter-in-law." The queen's tone became playful, and as she spoke, she motioned for the palace maid to lift her up.
Tongya asked with some confusion, "What's wrong with your leg?" ”
