Duanmu Rui sandwiched two slices of beef and fed them to his mouth, and after eating, he sighed "It's really fragrant", and took another sip of wine before saying.

"Therefore, the emperor does not believe that the prime minister is corrupt, if he orders the prime minister to be copied, all the money and things will be confiscated, and he negotiates with the prime minister in private, and the prime minister's money will become his. It's only 100,000 taels, the prime minister has been in power for so many years, it's just a drop in the bucket, and it's far from enough to return the 100,000 taels he embezzled from the court. ”

Qin Qingfeng saw him stretch out his chopsticks to the beef again, and reached out to hold down his chopsticks, "It's just such a plate, what else will I eat if you eat like this?" ”

"Madame's craftsmanship is good, I'll send you dozens of catties of beef another day to let you eat enough." That being said, Duanmu Rui still stopped his chopsticks.

Qin Qingfeng is incorruptible, there are no extra slaves, and his meals are all handled by his wife herself, which is in Duanmu Rui's eyes, so he respects Qin Qingfeng and Mrs. Qin even more.

"Captain understands now, right?" Duanmu Rui turned the topic back again.

"Don't call me Captain." Qin Qingfeng said hatefully, "What do I understand? ”

Duanmu Rui smiled, "Your Excellency must have understood." ”

Qin Qingfeng glanced at Duanmu Rui and took a big sip of wine, "I can see it through now, it's useless, it's useless, the emperor was also an ambitious, ethical and ambitious person when he was young, but now, what has become of him." You, it's useless, sit in that position, it's okay for ten or eight years, but it will definitely change after a long time. Only a courtier like me remained where he was, but he went farther and farther away. ”

He seemed to have drunk too much, and he spoke with a big tongue and a red face.

Duanmu Rui's mood also became solemn, looking at Qin Qingfeng, his heart was also tangled and complicated.

"I don't dare to guarantee anything else, there is only one thing that remains the same, that is, for the country and the people, let the Celestial Empire become stronger, don't have so many conquests, let the people live a life of food and clothing, and don't live in a precarious panic."

As he spoke, he took a big sip of wine, "I didn't have a chance to go out before, but the last time I went to Yanhe, I found out how bitter those people were, so I was even more confident." So Lord Qin, you are incorruptible, aren't these two major events as an example for hundreds of officials? ”

Qin Qingfeng stared at him for another moment, as if he was thinking, but he still didn't say anything.

"This king and adults have the same idea, why can't they stand on the same front?" Duanmu Rui picked up the wine jug and poured wine for Qin Qingfeng's wine glass.

Qin Qingfeng looked at the wine glass, hesitated for a long time before picking it up, and motioned to Duanmu Rui, Duanmu Rui smiled and picked up the wine glass, and the two drank a glass together.

"As an example of a hundred officials, it shouldn't have been changed halfway, but you, I think you can give it a try, you don't let me down, and remember what you said today."

Duanmu Rui understood that he had agreed to belong to his camp, and he was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "This king will never let down the adults, and will fight for these two major events all his life." ”

Qin Qingfeng belongs to Duanmu Rui's camp, which means that Qin Qingfeng's faction has become his force, Qin Qingfeng and the prime minister have not dealt with each other in the imperial court for many years, and each other has their own protégés and dependent officials, and the forces under Qin Qingfeng's sect are all biased towards Duanmu Rui under his secret instructions.

Besides, after the prince was frustrated here in Duanmurui, he began to reflect on what happened by the Bihu Lake that day.

On the same day, he was reading the concert in the palace, and a letter suddenly fell out of it, he picked it up curiously and looked at it, and the envelope was written "The prince opened it himself", and the content in it was: You can meet a beautiful woman in Bihu today, don't miss the opportunity.

He likes beautiful women, and when he sees the word "beauty", he doesn't belong to his heart, and it is a chance encounter, how can he miss this kind of beautiful thing, so he didn't investigate the origin of this letter, and whether it was a trap or not, he took a few guards and went out of the palace to Bihu.

I didn't expect to really meet Su Wanyan, Su Wanyan is naturally a beauty, and she has never gotten it, a beauty that he has been thinking about for a long time, and his legs were weak at that time.

Now that he thinks about it, the person who secretly sent him the letter was really hateful, and he wanted to know who was doing the trick in the middle, so he asked people to secretly inquire who the person who sent the letter that day was.

It didn't take long to find out that it was the waiter who was on an errand in the palace, and he personally asked the waiter, and the waiter confessed to Qiu Yulin.

The prince returned to the East Palace and went directly to Qiu Yulin, Qiu Yulin lowered his eyebrows in front of him as usual, and was sweet and lovely, but he felt a little bored now.

He threw the letter in front of Qiu Yulin and asked her, "Do you still have an impression of this letter?" ”

Qiu Yulin's eyes trembled when she saw the plum blossom letterhead.

The prince approached, pinched her chin, and said with a gloomy look in his eyes: "Did you let the chamberlain pass it on to Gu?" ”

Qiu Yulin felt that her jaw hurt, she narrowed her eyes, knowing that the prince must have found out and came to her, she didn't dare to lie, and nodded honestly.

The prince pressed harder on his hand and asked her, "Why do you do this?" Lone is your husband, but you let Lone go to contact other women, no, you are sending other women to Lone, what are you thinking? ”

Qiu Yulin pushed his hand away, took two steps back, and gasped and said, "The concubine knows that you like Su Wanyan, so she wants to fulfill you and please you, isn't this good?" ”

The crown prince had a smile on his face, as if he simply thought it was funny, but he sarcastically said to Qiu Yulin, "You are really a good wife, a good princess, you are too skillful and generous." ”

He was still very satisfied with Qiu Yulin before, and he still liked her a little, but after this incident, he knew that Qiu Yulin had no heart for him, and if he had a heart, he would not have rushed to give him a woman so much.

His heart was cold, and all the feelings he had before were gone.

He suddenly thought of the crux of the matter, and asked angrily: "You can give a woman if you want, why don't you discuss it with me in advance, and use this sneaky way, are you designing me?" ”

Qiu Yulin shook her head and said in a panic: "No, how dare the concubine design His Highness, originally the concubine wanted to ask His Highness to go to the lake together, but His Highness was busy during that time, and the concubine was afraid of alarming Su Wanyan and making her wary, so she wanted to let you suddenly appear." ”

The prince roared: "Don't quibble, no matter what you say, you can't explain it clearly, you didn't tell me in advance that you were designing me, in order to use me to harm Su Wanyan." ”

After roaring, he gasped and asked in a low voice: "Tell me, why did you hurt her, when did she offend you?" ”

"Your Highness, is this defending her?" How dare Qiu Yulin tell the truth, but she seized on this point and shouted, "Shouldn't you be happy that the concubine sent her to you?" Why do you still want to seek justice for me for her? ”

The prince didn't expect her to be quite flexible, so he sneered and pointed at her, "Okay, very good, I thought you were a good one before, it turns out that you are just as scheming and calculating as them." ”

Hearing him mention "them", Qiu Yulin thought of Su Yuxian and said: "This idea was made by Concubine Su, and the concubines were also deceived and used by her, Your Highness don't blame the concubines." ”

"Do you think I'll believe you?"

After the prince finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left angrily, Qiu Yulin saw that he was finally gone, and slid to the ground without strength, thought for a while, gently hung his head with his fist, and lay on his back on the couch thinking that he was really stupid, the prince was right, if she discussed with the prince in advance, it would also hurt Su Wanyan, and the prince would definitely not be so angry.

Now let him catch himself and use him, make him disgusted, what can he do in the future.

But fortunately, she was clever and took a bite to anger him away, if she let him know the real reason why she killed Su Wanyan, it would be over. She thought of Su Yuxian's portrait again, and her heart was frizzy again, she got off the couch and paced anxiously in the room, thinking about what way to get the little statue back.

Of course, she didn't do nothing during this time, while coaxing Su Yuxian to unite with her, she was trying to find a way to buy the palace maids around her and ask the palace maids to help find portraits in her house.

She called the personal palace maid and asked her to ask the palace maid who bought her if she had found the portrait, but she didn't expect the personal palace maid to take the portrait back after she went, she was ecstatic, immediately destroyed the portrait, and rewarded the palace maid who bought a piece of silver.

The next day, she went to see Su Yuxian, and Su Yuxian thought that the evidence was still in her hand, so she held the shelf and greeted her lazily.

She was happy in her heart, so she watched her act, and ate a piece of dim sum leisurely, these days because of the little elephant incident she has no appetite, and now she is in a good mood, and everything she eats is fragrant.

Su Yuxian saw that she was a little wrong like this, and she was puzzled, but asked quietly: "Why does Niangniang have the leisure to come here as a concubine today?" Is there something happy to say to the concubine, or did you think of a good way to rectify Su Wanyan, what do you need the concubine to do, just say it, and the concubine will do it. ”

Qiu Yulin sighed: "There is no good way, and there is nothing to be happy about, yesterday the prince came to the palace to quarrel, saying that I designed him and used him." ”

Su Yuxian's heart tightened, because she was also involved in this matter, and she was faintly afraid in her heart.

"Don't worry, the prince just said that I didn't blame you."

Su Yuxian heard this sentence and smiled, "This matter should have been borne by the mother, and it has nothing to do with the concubine, if the prince talks about it again, the mother will take it on her head, and the prince will come to ask the concubine, and the concubine will also shirk it." ”

"Why should Hongu be left alone?" Qiu Yulin knew that she was relying on her own control, so she was so arrogant, but now the form is different. The prince doesn't like her anymore, and she Su Yuxian shouldn't think about it.

"Because you have to do this, otherwise the concubine will take out that portrait and give it to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which will make you and your sweetheart unlucky."

Su Yuxian had a smile on her face, if she had been angry with Qiu Yulin in the past, but now Qiu Yulin also laughed.

"If the portrait is still with you, this palace will naturally listen to you, but now this is not the case, this palace has already pushed all the heads on you."

Seeing Qiu Yulin smiling happily, Su Yuxian was shocked and hurriedly went into the inner room to look for the portrait, and after looking for a long time, she searched all over the house and couldn't find it, so she came out with a pale face and pointed at Qiu Yulin and said, "You, when are you ......?"

She then turned her vicious gaze to the palace maids around her and scolded: "You guys who eat things inside and out, get out of here, get out." ”

Qiu Yulin stood up and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, sit down and rest for a while." ”

Su Yuxian felt a pain in her chest and stomach, so she quickly sat down and slowed down, Qiu Yulin swaggered out, the palace maid had already made her lose her mouth last night, and Su Yuxian couldn't find anyone even if she wanted to.

called all the palace maids to the house, counted the number of people, only to find that there was one less second-class, which was more valued by her, and she could usually enter and leave her bedroom freely.

Su Yuxian asked people to look for this palace maid everywhere, but found that everything in her house was gone, as if she had disappeared with her, so it must have been this palace maid who betrayed her. But she must have been killed, Su Yuxian secretly hated Qiu Yulin in her heart, but she couldn't help her without evidence.

Thinking that Qiu Yulin said that everything was pushed on her head, she was extremely worried in her heart, and quickly called Huo Qingqing into the palace.

Huo Qingqing was relieved when she heard her say this, thinking that she had caused some trouble again, so he told her: "Don't be afraid, although the handle is gone, as long as the prince comes to ask, you will tell the truth, and the prince is not stupid, this is the reason why the crown princess wants to harm Su Wanyan, he will be clear when he thinks about it, and he will believe you, you just push everything to the princess." ”
