Chapter 109: Quid pro quo
Liu Quanfu hurriedly entered the house, saw Wei Qingqing, and without waiting for her to speak first, he said about the Wei family.
"Before the little one came, I went to the Wei Mansion and listened to Ge Lao's meaning, it is not appropriate for the Guogong Mansion to meddle in this matter." Liu Quanfu stood respectfully in front of Wei Qingqing and said.
"I know."
Wei Qingqing naturally knew that he couldn't involve the Guogong Mansion anymore, otherwise he wouldn't have looked for Liu Quanfu first.
Liu Quanfu looked at her suspiciously, could it be that she had another way?
"I remember asking you to arrange a few guests to the Six Princes' Mansion before?" Wei Qingqing asked Liu Quanfu.
When the Six Princes first entered Beijing, Wei Qingqing was not only to take precautions, but also to be unsure of Rong Ruizhang's real purpose of supporting the Four Princes, so he arranged for someone to come to the Six Princes' Mansion as a guest, but he never thought that it would really be useful.
"There are two people, two cautious ones, with several Western fleets in their hands, and a large amount of supplies will be sent to the Six Princes' Mansion every month." Liu Quanfu said, looked at Wei Qingqing, and asked, "What does Miss mean, let them do something in front of the six princes?" ”
"Nope."
Wei Qingqing lowered her eyes and pondered, if she continued to endure like this, the six princes and brothers would not only pinch her in the palm of their hands, but also knead the people around her at will: "Withdraw these two, quickly and leave no traces." ”
Liu Quanfu's pupils tightened a little, and said to Wei Qingqing as a reminder: "If you do this, I'm afraid that the six princes will notice that it is your actions behind this." ”
"I'm just going to make him aware of it." Wei Qingqing raised her eyes and looked at Liu Quanfu, her face calm. The waves under his eyes were turbulent: "If I never let him know that I have a sharp blade in my hand, then he will pinch me to death!" ”
Liu Quanfu understood Wei Qingqing's determination, whether it was the previous prince's matter or the Wei family's matter this time, the calculation of the six princes was indeed too powerful.
"The little ones understand, and the little ones do it immediately."
"Besides......" Wei Qingqing's fingers didn't know when they learned to be like Rong Che, and gently tapped the table, as if they were thinking, but for a moment. The knocking sound stopped: "Let people reveal the purpose of these six princes to the prince's staff." ”
Is this to call the prince a rat trap?
The crown prince is not smart, but his staff is a thoughtful person, if he knows that the sixth prince is going to borrow the prince's hand to tie the Guogong Mansion and the Wei Mansion firmly to him, he will inevitably persuade the prince to take care of the overall situation, then the Wei family will not be in danger for the time being.
"Yes!"
Liu Quanfu responded, and before leaving, he paused, looked back at Wei Qingqing and said, "Miss, do you remember the man and woman who sent the Four Seasons Brew a while ago?" ”
Wei Qingqing naturally remembered that the pair of brothers and sisters who fled from Jiangnan had been in the past for a while, and Wei Qingqing saw that they had never moved, and she thought about whether to cultivate them.
"How?"
"Two clever ones, indeed." Liu Quanfu didn't continue, and Wei Qingqing knew that there was a problem: "Then what?" ”
"But these two people shouldn't know that there is a small one behind Yang's account room, and the small one is more convenient to keep an eye on them, and find that they are not ordinary homeless, the two of them are not only literate and hyphenated, but also quietly go to the cellar of the Four Seasons Brew from time to time." said. Liu Quanfu was afraid that Wei Qingqing would be worried, and said: "Since the last time the prince was 'poisoned', now all the wine brewed by the four seasons will be opened for drug testing in front of the buyer before it is handed over, but I am not worried that they will be poisoned." ”
"Keep staring and see what they're up to." Wei Qingqing paused and looked at Liu Quanfu: "Since they have been here for so long, tell Yang to the account room and arrange for them to go to the account room and follow the students to manage the accounts." ”
Liu Quanfu understood what Wei Qingqing meant, and he had to reuse these two people more, so that they could completely relax their vigilance and expose their true purpose.
"The little one understands."
Liu Quanfu smiled, and quietly left with Lan Sheng.
However, Wei Qingqing secretly met people so quickly, and soon let the eldest princess know.
The eldest princess carefully asked people to prepare incense, picked up the underwear to be changed tonight, and asked the maid, "Hasn't the uncle come back yet?" ”
"Uncle returned, but the slave maid heard that the uncle had already prepared a bunk to cover in the study, and it seems that he won't come over tonight." The maid's tone was weak, and after speaking, seeing that the eldest princess was really pale, she hurriedly said: "Your Highness, don't you know your uncle's temperament, I will never be angry with you, but now I am afraid that I have been provoked by the young lady, and I can't get over my face, I must be back in two days." ”
"Really?"
When the eldest princess heard this, her eyes became expectant, she looked at herself in the bronze mirror, touched the corners of her eyes that already had many fine lines, and asked the maid, "Am I old?" Look at Wei Qingqing, she is delicate and beautiful like flowers and bones, a man will like it. ”
"Your Highness is not old, Your Highness is mature. Uncle is not a teenage hairy boy anymore, how can he mess up his mind because of beauty? The maid hurriedly reassured.
The eldest princess picked up the fat powder again and made up for the corners of her eyes, before she withdrew her gaze and asked her, "Can you find out who Wei Qingqing saw today?" ”
The maid shook her head: "I only know that it is a middle-aged man, every time I come to the mansion, Lan Sheng picks him up, and after leaving the mansion, our people want to keep up, but they are quickly thrown away." ”
After the maid finished speaking, seeing that the eldest princess was silent, she said again: "Maybe it's for the Wei family." ”
"Naturally, it's for the Wei family." The eldest princess's lips were slightly cool; "It's a shame that Liangye still came to warn me, the imperial sister, not to attack Wei Qingqing again, but I don't want to think about it, how many means can I have, and how can I hurt her? It's just to let her understand that I am her sister-in-law and a relative she can rely on. It's not just the Yan Ruan outside. ”
The maid was silent.
The eldest princess remembered Wei Qingqing's pulse that she had held before, she didn't know medical skills, just to test Wei Qingqing's reaction, but seeing that she was so nervous with her maid ring, she knew that there must be something wrong with her pulse.
"The hospital is hearing that it is sick." The eldest princess spoke.
The maid frowned: "The slave didn't hear about ......"
"You haven't heard of it, it's because you don't know the situation in the palace." The eldest princess stared at her coldly.
The maid understood, and hurriedly said: "Yes, Lord Yuanzheng is sick, and the slave maid will arrange for other imperial doctors to ask for the young lady's pulse." ”
The eldest princess waved her hand with satisfaction and sent her out, and continued to draw makeup on the bronze mirror.
When Qin Liangye heard that the doorman who had provided him a large sum of money had disappeared without a trace overnight the next day, he guessed that most of these two people had something to do with Wei Qingqing.
"Go to the Guogong Mansion."
Qin Liangye didn't think about it, so he drove his horse to the Guogong Mansion.
He waited in the front hall for a while, and then saw Lan Sheng coming.
"How's she, can she get up?" Qin Liangye asked directly.
Lan Sheng looked at him and did not hide his good impression of his young lady, and his attitude was also a little cold: "Back to His Royal Highness the Sixth, our young lady said, I am afraid that it is inconvenient to see His Royal Highness if he is not well, and men and women are not kissed, and the second master is not in the house, it is even more inconvenient to see you, if you have an emergency, the grandfather is in the house, if you have anything to say, you can talk to him." ”
Qin Liangye knew that Wei Qingqing would refuse to see him, and smiled lightly: "Then you go back to your young lady, and talk about the Wei family." His Highness can only consult with her, otherwise, this matter can only be delayed and waited for Rong Che to come back. ”
Lan Sheng heard his threat, but he only smiled lightly: "In this case, the slave will reply truthfully." ”
After saying that, he walked away without looking back.
Qin Liangye wanted to stop her, but Lan Sheng walked extremely fast, and disappeared around the corner when he went out of the door.
Qin Liangye touched his nose helplessly, turned his head and glanced at the front hall of the hospitality, and the people standing next to him were all people who didn't say a word, which was really stuffy.
He remembered the words of Wei Qingqing and Rong Ruizhang that he overheard in the palace that day, and his heart still couldn't be calmed down, could she really be a person who came back from the dead as Rong Ruizhang said?
Thinking about it, I heard someone come to spread that Rong Hai was invited.
"Brother-in-law?"
Qin Liangye turned his head and saw that he didn't see Lan Sheng's shadow, so he knew that this was arranged by Wei Qingqing again, so he couldn't, so he had to go to see Rong Hai first.
Lan Sheng saw him leave, so he sent the news back to Wei Qingqing.
"Go and prepare the carriage, let's go out of the house." Wei Qingqing said.
"Yes."
Lan Sheng responded, and Lan Zhi soon helped Wei Qingqing out of the house.
As soon as Qin Liangye sat down in Rong Hai's study, he heard the news come and spread the news.
Qin Liangye looked at Rong Hai, who was still as calm as water in front of him, and smiled: "Brother-in-law, what's wrong." I'd rather help outsiders than help me, my brother-in-law used to love me the most. ”
"Who's an outsider?" Rong Hai asked Qin Liangye with a smile.
Qin Liangye's playful laughter faded a little, and he looked at Rong Hai: "Brother-in-law knows what I'm talking about." ”
"You're not an outsider, and neither is Qingqing." Rong Hai continued to look down at the ink painting in front of him.
"Brother-in-law, you know how much I need support right now." Qin Liangye looked at Rong Hai fixedly, Rong Hai only calmly finished the ink painting in his hand, then put down the ink pen and said to Qin Liangye: "Look, is the painting I painted with one hand different from before?" ”
Qin Liangye looked at his empty sleeves and frowned, this matter is indeed that the imperial sister is sorry for him.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Rong Hai smiled: "This time Qingqing was poisoned, and Han Xianzi was accidentally transferred out of the capital, and Archer wrote to me." Han Xianzi was transferred away in the name of his deceased master, otherwise he would not have left the capital immediately without a sound, and the person who knew that Han Xianzi also had a deceased master and knew that he cared so much was only me except for Archer and the people around him. ”
Rong Hai looked at Qin Liangye: "I used to like to drink, and I was drunk a lot, and His Royal Highness also knew about this matter." ”
Qin Liangye was silent.
"Qingqing's life, I almost didn't save it, this is Archer's favorite woman, I can't hurt Archer anymore." Rong Haidao.
Qin Liangye understood what Rong Hai meant, he was planning to meddle in this matter, and with the imperial sister, most of the time, he really had no feelings.
Qin Liangye stood up calmly: "I'll go to the imperial sister to sit down." ”
"Go ahead."
Rong Hai still looked at Qin Liangye as gently as if he was looking at a relative, Qin Liangye looked at him with complicated eyes, but before leaving, he still left a sentence: "Brother-in-law once said that those who do big things are not informal, and I have always believed in this sentence." ”
Rong Hai's palm tightened slightly, and then let go: "In times of war, you need a hegemon, and in peacetime, you need a benevolent monarch." ”
Qin Liangye didn't say a word, and walked away directly.
After Wei Qingqing left the house, he did not go to prison. If she goes to prison at this time, she will have to let the prince buckle the hat of a private relationship with the Wei family in the Guogong Mansion.
Therefore, she chose to go to the Three Princes' Mansion.
When the third princess received the news of Wei Qingqing's visit, she was still a little surprised, she had no friendship with her, what did she do?
Although it was strange, the third princess still met her.
It was not the first time that the third prince had seen Wei Qingqing, but every time he saw her, he would be envious.
Sometimes the three princesses also want to. If he has the appearance of Wei Qingqing, then will His Royal Highness have more pity for him?
"The young lady will come over, it's really a surprise to the concubine."
The third princess welcomed Wei Qingqing to sit in her small garden, although it was late autumn and early winter, the flowers and plants in the yard were still lush, which showed the careful care of the owner.
Wei Qingqing looked at the third princess, and her face was even worse than last time: "The princess's complexion doesn't seem to be very good, and the courtiers know a famous doctor." Maybe you can introduce it to the princess. ”
The third princess looked at Wei Qingqing, she had heard that she had been lingering on the sickbed for several months, but now when she saw her, her face was ruddy, which showed that this doctor was indeed powerful.
But...... The three princesses had to be on guard, the three princes were the prince's people, but the Guogong Mansion obviously meant to be close to the six princes.
Even if it was for the sake of the third prince, she couldn't accept Wei Qingqing's favor.
"I'm fine, it's just that the temperature has become too fast in the past few days, and I can't get used to ......it for a while," the third princess didn't finish speaking, and the person coughed.
The grandmother on one side hurriedly stepped forward to straighten her cloak in distress, and the third princess smiled and pushed the person away, and wanted to say something to Wei Qingqing, so she heard someone report that Wei Susu was coming.
"What is she here for?" When the third princess heard Wei Susu's name, her eyes became a little more resentful, although she quickly covered it up.
"Concubine Wei said that she and the young lady are also old acquaintances, and since the young lady has entered the mansion today, she should also come to meet her." The maid replied.
The third princess looked at Wei Qingqing, Wei Qingqing's eyes were slightly bent: "She is indeed an old acquaintance with me, if it weren't for the second master who rejected her at the emperor's birthday banquet, she should have entered the Guogong Mansion and served the second master with me." ”
When the third princess heard this, the doubts in her heart suddenly disappeared, and she laughed out loud.
After learning that Wei Qingqing didn't like Wei Susu as much, the third princess called someone to invite Wei Susu.
Compared with the plain dress of the three princesses, Wei Susu's dress can be described as luxurious.
Not to mention the pear blossom white precious snow satin on the body, the satin is decorated with rubies of the same size, walking around like red plums on the snow, arrogant and beautiful, especially she is no longer the light makeup she once had, and now she is dotted with red plum blossom makeup in the center of her eyebrows, and her red lips are beautiful, like a goblin, so that people can't take their eyes off.
"This tea is cold. Why don't you change the glass? ”
Wei Qingqing spoke calmly.
Only then did everyone come back to their senses, and the eyes of the three princesses were a little moist, and they only had a deep sense of powerlessness for their failures.
Wei Qingqing waited for Wei Susu to get closer before getting up and saluting.
Wei Susu went straight past her and saluted the third princess.
"Get up."
The third princess's tone was weak.
Wei Susu smiled: "Why has the princess's illness worsened again?" Have you ever invited a doctor to take a look? ”
"Didn't the side concubine tell His Highness that you have been restless lately and taboo the doctors from entering and leaving the prince's mansion?" The grandmother of the third princess sneered, Wei Susu, the fake compassion of the cat crying mouse, she was too lazy to look at it.
Wei Susu stared at the grandmother with a smile: "What does Grandma mean, I actually harmed the princess?" Come. Wei Susu turned his head to look at his maid: "Go and tell Your Highness immediately, let Your Highness invite the imperial doctor, but you can't ask the princess to have an accident, otherwise as Mama said, I will be the sinner." ”
The third princess's face turned even paler, Wei Susu meant that she was going to attack her own grandmother?
"No need, no need to ask a doctor, I've been sick for a long time. Just eat the old recipe. The third princess said, and the grandmother on the side wanted to speak, but she stopped her.
"How can this work?" Wei Susu looked at the princess with a smile: "If something happens to the princess, if His Royal Highness is to blame......"
"Your Highness blames me, and I only blame myself for being stubborn, and I have nothing to do with others." The third princess gritted her teeth.
Wei Susu laughed with satisfaction, only glanced at the grandmother behind the third princess with a slight murderous intent, and then turned her head to look at Wei Qingqing: "Why did the young lady come here today?" ”
Wei Qingqing looked at Wei Susu, who was really two people in her memory, and her mind had completely calmed down: "I just happened to pass by, so I came in to pay a visit." I haven't seen the side concubine for a long time, and the side concubine is still the same as before. ”
Same as before?
Wei Susu didn't like this sentence, she was different from before, she was no longer qualified to chase after Brother Che, and Brother Che would no longer treat her well.
Wei Qingqing is to blame for all this!
"The young lady is still so interesting to speak, by the way, I heard that something seems to have happened to the Wei family. In the end, it is the same surname as the General's Mansion, and the ancestors should also be the same clan, and I have a great fate with the young lady, and I have arranged for someone to go to the prison to take care of it. At least before the charges are confirmed, they won't let those Xiaoxiao in the prison bully Lord Wei and Master Wei. Wei Susu sneered.
Lan Sheng looked at Wei Susu vigilantly.
Wei Qingqing was very calm: "Yes, thank you for this." ”
"Don't be a pity, Master Wei is not too young, presumably he can't stand the damp and cold in the prison, if I don't take care of it, I don't know if I can stand it." Wei Susu continued to threaten, she liked to see Wei Qingqing, who was always calm and calm, showing a flustered appearance.
But even after she finished speaking, Wei Qingqing didn't have any worries.
Wei Qingqing saw that she had finished speaking, and then smiled and said to the third princess: "Since the side concubine is so generous, the famous doctor that the courtiers said to the third princess, let him come to the door to ask for your pulse." ”
"It's hard to resist the young lady's kindness, and it's inconvenient for me to excuse myself." The third princess looked at Wei Qingqing, and understood her purpose, she knew that Wei Susu would not make the Wei family in prison feel better, and now that she has sent a doctor, wouldn't she want to repay the favor and protect her Wei family?
This matter is a trivial matter for the third princess, because her maiden family is now the secretary of the Criminal Department, and it is easy for the Criminal Department to transfer Wei Qingshan's father and son to other prisons.
Wei Qingqing saw that the third princess agreed, and she didn't care about Wei Susu, so she got up and said goodbye with a smile.
