Chapter 92: Strangeness (Revised)
"You can rest assured of this!" Hearing that Qi Jiulu hadn't said anything yet, Gong Xiangxiao outside couldn't wait to say, "How many years has my father been fighting with the Ji family, how can he not guard against them?" Would you like to come and see you in person? It's not like there's no way to ......."
Speaking of this, it seemed that someone was coughing secretly, Gong Xiangxiao was reminded, and his pride was slightly restrained, and he only said, "Anyway, you will listen to Xinyun and arrange it steadily." (*0 small-} said-+net) "
Yun Fenghuang squinted, thought for a while, suddenly smiled, and said, "What is the son of the world still doing here?" Do you want to continue listening to the wall? β
"......" Gong Xiangxiao was speechless for a moment, and said, "You can cross the river and tear down the bridge fast enough." β
Yun Fenghuan didn't answer, and kicked Qi Jiulu gently, Qi Jiulu understood, stood up, and went out with a smile: "I'll send the son." β
Gong Xiangxiao complained: "Why are you looking at this little ancestor of your family again and again? How can you keep your husband up like this...... Alas, forget it, looking at your unproductive appearance, I'm afraid that she will be eaten to death in this life. β
Thinking about it, I only heard the sound of footsteps in the distance-Yun Fenghuan in the stone room listened carefully, in addition to Gong Xiangxiao and Qi Jiulu, there were at least six or seven people, all of whom were very slight, almost uncheckable, probably Gong Xiangxiao's guards.
She waited for these people to go farther away, and then she shook off the burden prepared by Qi Jiulu and hurriedly dressed.
After waiting for a while, Qi Jiulu came back alone, and saw that she had walked out of the stone room neatly dressed, and was looking around with interest: outside the stone room, it was not the house she originally thought, but a narrow cave, judging from the traces on the cave wall, this cave should have existed for a long time.
There are a lot of air outlets dug around, and the swarthy ones don't know where they lead, and from time to time they get in the wind and wander around the room, so that although the cave is very deep, they don't feel bored.
It's just a few bits and pieces in the corner, which makes people's scalp tingle: they are all torture instruments, old and new, and the common thing is that they all have blood stains with different degrees of infiltration.
There is even a sub-shackle under a piece of suspected human bone.
"I'll change places for you tomorrow." Qi Jiulu saw Yun Fenghuan staring at the human bone, hurriedly walked over and kicked it behind the debris, and said apologetically, "There are still some things that I need to deal with today, but it's too late...... By the way, do you like Gangnam, or Guanwai? β
"Do you know about your two arrangements?" Yun Fenghuang raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and did not answer the rhetorical question.
Qi Jiulu said softly: "The prince didn't ask, and I didn't plan to tell them." Anyway, it depends on what you like, where you like, I'll arrange it. Didn't you say you liked Gangnam earlier? So I bought the Zhuangzi field in Jiangnan in advance, and the things were all as you liked. But I also thought, after all, we all grew up in the north, maybe you are still used to the north. Although it is not easy to go back to my hometown for the time being, the climate and customs outside the gate are similar to our home. β
"He didn't ask because you did these things, and they were always under his nose." Yun Fenghuan looked at him and said slowly, "Eloping with the palace concubine, such a crime, in the future, you and I will pinch it in his hands for the rest of my life.
Even the Xie family and the Qi family could not escape the involvement. β
Qi Jiulu frowned and said, "You and I had a private meeting in the palace, and it was originally in his hands. But once he was involved in this matter, how could it be good for him to poke it out? Second, I am the confidant of the son, and I have both glory and loss with the son......"
"And that's just for now." Yun Fenghuang sighed when he heard this, shook his head and said, "Gong Xiangxiao is getting older, but he has never had real power, but the younger brother born by his stepmother is more and more valued by the regent. He was not only unwilling to be snubbed by the regent, but also worried about the instability of the throne of the prince, so he hurriedly gathered people and tried to achieve his wings...... But in fact, his fundamental interests are to follow the regent, and what is he without the regent? β
"The regent once missed the position of the emperor's younger brother, and because of this, there must be a battle between him and Chunjia - at this time, he still needs to join forces with Chunjia to deal with the Ji family, the Zheng family, and the Cui family, so it's okay to help me hide my name after I leave the palace."
"But once the royal family and the uncle and nephew sweep the temple, only they will face each other, do you think...... With my entanglement with the Winged Prince's Mansion, will the regent let go of such a ready-made stabbing handle? β
She said before that the regent would not want Gu Zhen to have an accident at this time - this is not only because Gu Zhen is the daughter of the regent's right-hand man Zhao Wubo, but also because for the regent, Gu Zhen must not die in the hands of the Yiguo Mansion at the moment!
After all, the premise for the emperor and the regent to join forces to deal with Ji and other outsiders is the delicate balance between the two royal uncles and nephews: the emperor has the position of the Son of Heaven, is a symbol of orthodoxy, and has the loyal assistance of important ministers such as the Duke of Yiguo. Although he still lacks strength compared to the entrenched regent, he is not without a fight.
To put it simply: both uncle and nephew feel that I can win when I send away the outsiders who are disrupting the situation!
But once there was a mistake in the Yiguo Mansion, Chunjia had enough to rely on the lineage, and there was only one Xingningbo Mansion left.
And the Yuan family was just a local noble family earlier, relying on his nephew to become the emperor before entering the noble circle of the imperial capital, or from the first day of coming to the imperial capital, he was tacitly suppressed by important ministers such as the Ji family, the Zheng family, the Cui family, etc., and it has not developed at all in the past eight years...... has always followed the Duke of Yiguo and shouted, letting them support the emperor alone, it can only be powerless.
In this way, the balance of power between the emperor and the regent is unbalanced, and the emperor will continue to join forces with the regent to deal with others if he is stupid, I am afraid that it is almost the same if he does not immediately turn his head and raise the Ji clan to deal with the regent!
So at this moment, the regent definitely doesn't want the Yiguo Mansion to have any three strengths and two weaknesses - and he will definitely not allow Empress Ji to use it to create a rift between the Yiguo Mansion and the regent in order to succeed in Ji's plan to win a chance to recover!
However, in the future, the Ji clan and his ilk were sent away......
Only the battle between uncle and nephew remains......
What is the regent still doing with the Yun family?
So when the time comes, what Yunqike does today, no matter how much calculation and guidance there is behind his actions, anyway, the crimes of kidnapping the palace concubine and murdering Jieyu are
There is no excuse, it is impossible for the regent not to use this to attack the Yiguo Mansion - when the time comes, no matter how incognito Qi Jiulu and Yun Fenghuang are, eighty percent will still be found out as witnesses.
As for what will happen to them if they do this......
Will the regent be in charge?
Anyway, Yun Fenghuan didn't believe that this prince could be stupid enough to preach morality at such a critical moment, she would never hand over her family life to a clan relative who didn't know anything about it.
At this moment, he looked at Qi Jiulu and said earnestly, "Just now I said that you would arrange for Yunqi guests to burn down the Spring Villa, Gong Xiangxiao never denied it, combined with the fact that you mentioned the Gu family to the queen before...... What you told the queen is that Yunqike is the culprit, burning the Spring Villa, so that Gu Zhen and I are buried in the fire, well, my words, the scapegoat arranged on the left and right, it is better to burn it directly and can't distinguish it; As for Gu Zhen, in order to avoid the overall situation of the regent and Chunjia, I am afraid that she will have to die in the hands of Yunqike in front of everyone. β
"In this way, the serious crime of the Yiguo Mansion is inevitable, and Chunjia has lost this help, so in order to balance the temple, he can only choose to reconcile with the Ji family."
"And the queen can always set her mind on the world for a period of time, in order to plan for the future!"
Seeing that Qi Jiulu was silent, he acquiesced in his speculation, Yun Fenghuang sighed, "But since you don't really cooperate with the queen, it is impossible for the regent to let the queen's plan come true...... When the time comes, will the queen let us go? I know you want to say that the regent will definitely seize this opportunity to chase after the Ji family! β
She raised her hand and motioned to Qi Jiulu not to interject, "The problem is that the queen is certainly forced by you to come here to see us in person, but no matter what kind of handle you hold in your hands, it is only useful if the queen still has some scruples." Once the Ji clan collapses, who knows if the queen will expose everything regardless of it and take revenge?! β
"When the regent throne is high and powerful, it will be easy to clear himself from the prince, what about the two of us?"
Yun Fenghuan said seriously, "You are young and promising, and you are valued by the world, maybe they will protect you, but my words, for safety, what will they do?" β
Naturally, it is to extinguish the mouth.
ββ¦β¦ The Son of the World knows my heart for you, and will not allow such a thing to happen. Qi Jiulu sighed when he heard this, stretched out his hand to hug her, and said softly, "Besides, I did all this for you, if you have any mistakes, why should I live alone?" β
Yun Fenglian leaned on his chest for a while, and for a moment, slowly and resolutely pushed him away, looked up into his eyes, and said solemnly: "Just because you have done so much for me, I can't watch you just throw away this life because of me-you listen to me, we met privately before, and the left and right Gongxiangxiao are inseparable, and it's okay." β
"If I really go with you this time, Gong Xiangxiao is just like you and the queen want to get me out and pull Yunqike as a backstop, he also happens to destroy the credentials and push the matter of helping the foreign man and the palace concubine to have a private meeting!"
"He can completely deny that we have been meeting in private these days, and only say that everything is done by Yunqike, he
I don't know anythingβ"
"Then we will completely lose the handle to blackmail Gong Xiangxiao and the Regent's Mansion, and we will completely fall under the control of the Regent's Mansion!"
"When the time comes, if they want us to live, we will live, if they want us to die, we will die-Brother Lu, are you willing to live such a life?!"
Qi Jiulu was older than her, and when the two families had not yet agreed on marriage when they were young, they were all commensurate with each other because of their relationship with each other.
Every time she looked at her face, Yun Fenghuang shouted "Brother Lu" in a milky voice according to Jiang's instructions, she was too young at that time, her pronunciation was inaccurate, and she often shouted "Ruo". The elders looked interesting, and deliberately made excuses for her to shout repeatedly, Qi Jiulu felt troublesome and embarrassed at that time, so he quietly walked away, and when the elders saw it, they asked Yun Fenghuan to go with him......
Later, the two families agreed to get married, and Yun Fenghuang gradually grew towards rudeness, whether he did something wrong or asked for something, he was domineering and called him by name and surname - even if the elders were in front of him, it was a fake sentence "Brother Shi".
For a while, Qi Jiulu fought wits and courage with her, just to let her shout "Brother Lu" again, and the last time he heard this title was Peacock Slope that year.
Thinking of Peacock Slope, Qi Jiulu's eyes sank, and there were a few unfamiliar yin owls between his eyebrows.
Yun Fenghuan was looking at him, slightly stunned when he saw this.
"Ahh Qi Jiulu groaned, the hand hidden in his sleeve clenched unconsciously, the green tendons on his arms were exposed, and he asked in a dumb voice, "I have considered all these things you said, but we missed it three years ago, and we missed it again at the beginning of the year...... Chunjia is in his prime, and the regent is still in his prime, if you don't leave this time, when will you and I be reunited? β
He had a look of surprise on his face, "The palace has been a filthy place since ancient times. Outsiders only say that you Mao Jieyu was promoted quickly and won Chunjia's love, but I remember that you have only been in the palace for a few days? There are already few heirs! I know that you have your own ideas when you are young, and I also know that this plan to mediate between the queen, the prince and the regent is indeed risky, and it will be endless troubles! β
"But I don't care about waiting for you to wait until your gray hair is gray, the problem is Chunjia's harem, will you be safe, when will it be?"
"Do you remember when you fell off a cliff with Chunjia not long ago?"
"I heard from the people I arranged that I didn't wait for you at the foot of Qi Mountain, and then I received news that you fell off the cliff with Chunjia and I don't know if you died, and there were assassins on the side...... Do you know how I felt?! β
Yun Fenghuan opened his mouth, and was about to speak, but he grabbed his arm - Qi Jiulu's eyes were like torches, and there was a faint blood color in his eyes, he was condescending, overlooking the woman who had grown up together since childhood, and said word by word: "At that time, I swore that if God gave me another chance, if you could come back alive...... I'm going to take you away! β
"When my sister had an accident, I couldn't take you away from the disturbances of the Northland; Later, Peacock Slope, I couldn't take you out of the pressure of the family; But this time, whatever I say, I'm going to take you away...... Because I don't know if I'll have another chance after missing this one?! β
Seeing Yun Fenghuan's expression, but he wanted to speak and stopped, his heart slowly sank.
