Chapter 141: Bosom Friend (1)
Xue Chunyue finished reading Xuecheng's flying pigeon biography, twisted his eyebrows and thought, Xue Peiqi buckled his knuckles while drinking tea, they couldn't have imagined that Xue Huijin was also involved, and the nature of the grass on the wall became more and more unconcealed.
"Second brother, this fact is strange, Zhizhu was poisoned, Zhiyu said goodbye, and didn't even leave a reason, according to this situation, the Wei family, Han Yang, Xue Huijin, these three people should have hooked up, and maybe they can dig out some news from Xue Huijian...... Or, notify Xuecheng and Xuexun to be ruthless? β
"No, Wei Yingshi and Han Yang did catch up, but Xue Huijin didn't necessarily have to. Xue Huijin is just a wall grass greedy for small profits, he doesn't dare to offend King Xi, so in this matter, at most, he just wants to get a piece of the pie, and he won't mix too much, not to mention, Wei and Han, the two old foxes, won't let him know too much. Now that Han Xiang has entered the Taifu Temple, the next step is to pull out the pile, Zhuang Kang and Li Jingfeng, these two people, in the important position of Shaoqing, must be the first wave of Han Xiang to get rid of the people, Li Jingfeng was born in Luo'an, Luo'an Li family has recovered a lot of vitality in recent years, Han Xiang can't easily defeat him, as for Zhuang Kang, it is dangerous......"
Hearing Xue Chunyue's words, Xue Peiqi couldn't help but frown, "Is there a way to keep Zhuang Kang?" β
"It's not nothing, don't forget, Zhuang Kang was born in Baiyun Academy and is Xiao Hongyi's protΓ©gΓ©......"
"Do you want the Xiao family to come forward? Difficult...... The Xiao family's foundation is not stable now, Xiao Hongming has done enough recently, and he will not take any more risks for Zhuang Kang. β
"I know your father-in-law quite well."
"Huh...... Xiao Hongming is a frightened bird, what is difficult to guess? β
"So...... There was only one man left to protect him. β
"Who?"
Xue Chunyue turned around, his eyes tightened, "Lord Yi'an." β
Xue Peiqi's hand that was holding the tea cup suddenly froze......
Du Juan really lived up to expectations and got key information from Xueqian. Xueqian was loyal to Xue Huijin after all, and he didn't hand over the antidote anyway, but he said the name of the poison, the soul urging from Tianzhu, the person who was poisoned by this poison, the breath was less and less day by day, and the qi and blood were weaker than day by day.
After getting the news, Zhang Jingshi and Su Yuming did not dare to slack off for a moment, and worked day and night to develop the antidote.
Soon, bad news came from Changxing, and the princess did not survive until her children and grandchildren got married and died.
Emperor Hongyuan boycotted the dynasty for three days, and the whole country mourned.
After the funeral of the princess, Emperor Hongyuan prepared a light meal in the palace, and invited the children of the clan to get together, and it was also the right to send a spirit to the concubine.
There was no wine during the mourning period, and it was inconvenient for everyone to talk about it anymore, so this banquet was carried out quietly, and Emperor Hongyuan's mood was not high, and he talked to everyone about the past with several brothers and concubines when he was young, and when the love was strong, he choked up several times.
Back then, King Xiang, King Jing, and King Wu had all turned into dust, and there were few of his brothers and sisters left, Emperor Hongyuan couldn't help but cast a loving look at the county lord of Yi'an and other descendants, and thought that Yi'an's mother and son had become orphans and widows, and she refused to marry her several times, and became more and more pitiful, so he specially passed her a bowl of warm lotus seed soup and asked about some daily life and other things.
After Yi An attended the thanksgiving ceremony, he said, "Now that Concubine Zhu and Princess Wang have gone to the crane immortal, Yi'an, as a descendant, should also reward the people who worked hard for the funeral for the ancestors, so ...... I want to ask for a favor from Your Majesty, but I don't know if Your Majesty will be able to do it. β
"What Yi'an said, it should be rewarded for meritorious deeds, I have been so sad in the past few days that I forgot about it, fortunately you mentioned it. Wang Zhong, immediately passed on my message, Taichang Siqing plans to go abroad within three days of the meritorious people during the national funeral, this list you have to carefully review, and then send me to the gift department to reward one by one. β
Wang Zhong received the order and was about to retreat, when Yi'an suddenly said, "Wang Neishi, don't forget Lord Zhuang Kangzhuang, Shaoqing of Taifu Temple." The national funeral expenses are huge, and after Lord Ye leaves the court, if he doesn't take stock many times, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be thorough. β
"What you said reminded me that Zhuang Kang devoted himself to the affairs of equalizing the loss and leveling, shared a lot of pressure for the treasury, and passed on my will, Zhuang Kang's reward was the same as that of Han Xiang, the secretary of the Taifu Temple, and Xue Chunyue, the servant of the household department, and then an additional month of reward for encouragement."
Wang Zhong hurriedly agreed, and bowed his head.
Yi Anyun returned to his seat like a light breeze, drank the lotus seed soup casually, and sat upright.
After the family banquet was over, Xue Chunyue was waiting for Yi'an's ceremonial driver at the palace gate. Yi'an took her daughter out of the car and handed it to Xue Chunyue, Xue Chunyue and Qi'er had a funny time, and then got in the car and walked with Yi'an, so that Xue Chunyue came to see her daughter, and outsiders would not be suspicious even if they saw the two walking together.
"Qi'er is getting more and more cute, and she looks a lot calmer, so she won't make a fuss, right?"
"Well, it's much quieter now, probably because you know how to feel sorry for my mother." Yi'an rubbed Qi'er's hair with pity, her eyes full of pampering.
"When children grow up, when they see other people's parents, they will always clamore for their father, so ......"
"Lord Xue shouldn't even want to be this fake daddy, right?"
"Where is the county lord! I'll always be Qi'er's daddy, but ...... This pair of Pei ...... Isn't it fair? He should have the right to know......"
"All these things have passed, and he is nothing but Qi'er's biological father...... Now Qi'er has a righteous father like you, and I don't need him anymore, I and him are better ...... each other."
Although Yi'an said this, the loneliness on his face couldn't be hidden, Xue Chunyue saw it in his eyes, but he was helpless, "Since you have insisted repeatedly, I won't say anything more, but I still want to thank you again for Zhuang Kang's matter." β
Only then did Yi An raise his eyebrows and smile, "With a lot of effort, why worry about it." β
As she was talking, Qi'er suddenly raised her little hand to Xue Chunyue to hug, Xue Chunyue looked at her cute appearance, her heart melted, and she hurriedly reached out and hugged her, raising her high to make her happy......
Xue Peiqi rode out of the alley, only to hear the faint laughter in the carriage, the knuckles of his reins were slightly white, and he pursed his lips silently......
Time passed day by day, Zhang Jingshi and Su Yuming developed the antidote for Ye Cizhun but failed repeatedly, seeing that Ye Cizhun's breath was getting weaker and weaker day by day, Su Yuming's heart was getting heavier and heavier day by day, and she had prepared for the worst.
When the time came, everything was silent, Su Yuming quietly left the garden, rode a fast horse, and disappeared into the night without looking back......
When Xue Huijin heard the report, he couldn't believe his ears, and trotted all the way to the gate of the mansion, and the moment he saw Su Yuming, he finally pulled the corners of his mouth......
"Madame, I can't believe that we will meet again so soon...... Heh......"
"Xue Huijin, give me the antidote, I will do everything to you."
"Hmph, now you have a request for me, look at your attitude!"
"You don't need to bluff, I'm no longer the Su Yuming I used to be, you can't scare me. I wonder if you're interested in listening to my analysis of the whole thing? Possibly, you can get a lot out of it. β
Xue Huijin's eyes were dark, he knew Su Yuming's ability, so he stared at her, as if making a final judgment, and finally said slowly after a while, "Madam, please." β
Su Yuming calmly walked into the house, and by the faint candlelight, he asked word by word, "The person who held me hostage that day took something from my baggage, what is it?" β
"You don't know, how could I know!"
"Xue Huijin, you are not stupid, there were no less than 20 killers who held me hostage that day, do you need to put so much effort into a defenseless and weak woman? They put down such a big battle, which can only show one thing, that is, what is in my baggage is very important, and they must get it, only succeed, not fail. And you, on the other hand, don't even know what it is, let alone get a piece of the pie...... Now, we already know that the one in the grant is the Soul Booster, there are not many people in the Central Plains who have this medicine, and there are only a few channels, how long can you hide? Once this matter is shaken out, you are tantamount to being exposed, and at that time, do you think your allies will protect you? β
Xue Huijin clenched his fists, but still managed to calm himself.
"Xue Huijin, in the whole matter, you only got me, but you took on the felony of murdering the court officials, don't you think, do you lose?"
Xue Huijin suddenly became furious, pointed at Su Yuming and shouted, "I just want to get you, torture you to death again, and double the humiliation that you and Ye Cizhun brought to me!" β
"Humiliation? You deserve to mention those two words to me...... Three days ago, Xuexun had already returned to Beijing with the Soul Booster, and it was estimated that now Xue Peiqi already knew the ins and outs, who is Peiqi now? He is the Shaoqing of Dali Temple! How many people do you think there is such a strange poison in the Central Plains? Once you check it out, how long have you been hiding? You even put your life on the line for an unfaithful and unfaithful me, is it worth it? β
"Su Yuming, you-"
"Xue Huijin! If I were you, I would find out what the thing they took was, and get back all the benefits that should have belonged to me, instead of just going around a woman in circles like you are now, being sold by others and counting the money for others! β
Xue Huijin raised his right hand, wanting to give Su Yuming a slap, but he didn't want Su Yuming to dodge, but instead took two steps closer to him, and continued to grit his teeth and said, "Give me the antidote, now only Ci Zhun knows what that thing is, I guarantee with my life, when Ci Zhun wakes up, I will ask him to help you and bring back the benefits you deserve!" β
"Let Ye Cizhun help me? Scold...... Su Yuming, do you think I'm a three-year-old child?! β
"You don't have a choice...... Don't tell me you're not curious about what that thing is, or you wouldn't have sent Xueqian out to investigate. Xueqian's whereabouts have long been clear to us! But...... Dare to ask for so long, has Xueqian been able to find out a single star and a half? Xue Huijin, you can continue to play stupid with me, but time waits for no one! β
"You-"
Although Xue Huijin was furious, but the palm raised high was finally slowly put down, Su Yuming was right, those people just used him as a watchdog, and they would abandon it when they ran out, no matter how much benefit that thing brings, they would never let themselves get a piece of the pie, besides, now that he has been charged with poisoning the imperial court officials, if Xue Peiqi is really ruthless and uses the ability of Dali Temple, he will definitely not be able to hide, think about it, no matter how you calculate it, it is you who loses!
