Volume 1: The beginning is to enter the Ning Xiao Gate, and the first time I met the prince Fu Yuying Chapter 61: Life is like a chess game

I sat on the cold floor tiles of the Qinzheng Hall for a long time, and I was really panicked, and I couldn't calm down for a long time. In the end, it was Fu Yuli who came in and lifted me up from the ground.

Because of his actions, my mind was instantly retracted from my imagination. After he lifted me up, I habitually turned him around to look at him.

Fu Yuli stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat from my forehead, and when he noticed the pale look on my face, he suddenly laughed and asked, "Since you are so afraid of death, why do you talk to your father like this?" ”

I glanced at him faintly, and pulled my arm back from his hand. I took a low breath, relieved myself, and walked away quickly.

"Is the crown prince really that important to you?"

Hearing this, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and my footsteps stopped. After a moment of silence, I said to him lightly, "Yes, so don't try to win me over and extract any more secrets about him from me, I can't tell you." ”

Before he could reply, I walked away quickly.

After leaving the Qinzheng Palace, I couldn't help but look up at the sky that had been obscured by black clouds not long ago.

At this moment, the clouds and mist in the sky have dispersed, and the sky and the earth seem to be lit up again, and when the warm rays of sunlight are scattered on me as usual, I really feel that I am alive.

To be honest, I never imagined that I would be able to leave the Qinzheng Hall alive.

Even if I am so afraid, I know very well in my heart that even if I am given another chance, I will say those words to the emperor for Fu Yuying's sake.

When I returned to the East Palace, Yi Xuan was sitting in his rocking chair enjoying the sunlight as the dark clouds dissipated, and when I walked slowly to his side, Yi Xuan's eyes opened a slit slightly, he squinted at me, and said, "You're back." ”

I pursed my lips and said "um", and was about to tell him what had just happened, but he suddenly sat up, sighed, and said to me, "You are really changing your tricks to death." ”

The words I was about to say stayed in my cold throat for a moment, and I looked at him with a puzzled look on my face before I slowly asked, "Didn't you go back to the East Palace directly?" ”

He stood up and walked towards the temple when he said to me, "The reason why I didn't come back directly is because I was afraid that you would get into trouble." ”

After that, he said no more, and it was not until we returned to the house that he sat down with his sleeves brushed up and said, "You can come back safely, it is Fu Yu's love." I saw him come back in the direction of the Qinzheng Palace, so I was relieved to leave. ”

"It's not what he begged for." I shook my head and replied, "The emperor said that I was a meritorious man who escorted the rebellion, so he didn't kill me in order not to be criticized by the world." ”

Yi Xuan was a little surprised, "Did the emperor let you back directly?" ”

I nodded, a little confused as to why he had reacted so much.

After being silent for a long time, Yi Xuan suddenly said with a solemn expression: "Don't leave the East Palace if there is nothing important in the future, in addition, you yourself should try to be careful on weekdays, if the emperor or other people in the palace pass you through again, you have to tell me first." ”

I was a little surprised, "What do you mean...?" ”

Before I could finish speaking, Yi Xuan had already affirmed my thoughts with a nod.

I frowned, muttering to myself.

After such a lot of trouble, it is better to directly order me to kill me at that time, which will make me have to be frightened every day in the future, which is really worrying.

I sighed and pinched my brow with some annoyance.

After Fu Yuxiao was imprisoned in the Criminal Department, Concubine De and Li Shengqi were also imprisoned one after another.

In this rebellion, although Concubine De did not appear directly, if the emperor wanted to implicate Li Shengqi in this matter, he must also involve her.

Concubine De is cautious, she will never leave any handle on rebellion.

Therefore, whether it is the secret letter or the witnesses that the emperor found, they are just evidence that he ordered someone to fabricate.

This rebellion, which lasted about an hour, easily got rid of Fu Yuxiao and Li Shengqi's party, but thinking about it carefully, it will inevitably send chills down people's spines.

Although I am the one who sets up the chess, how much did the emperor secretly help in this game of chess? From the time he handed me the decree, I knew that in this chess game, he seemed to be in the chess game, but in fact he was the biggest arranger.

Yi Xuan had told me this truth more than once before, and it wasn't until this moment that I really understood the meaning.

The emperor does not seem to have participated in any of the layout processes, but this whole game of chess is in his hands.

So is he really completely ignorant of the matter between the queen and Concubine Qing?

I just don't dare to think about it anymore.

......

After solving Li Shengqi, I thought that I would finally be able to relax for a while, but I didn't think that Fu Yuying heard the news of Fu Yuxiao's defeat in the mutiny, so he immediately ordered someone to send me a letter urgently.

He said in the letter, let me find a way to participate in the officialdom, disrupt the government before he returns, if I can make Fu Yuqing and Fu Yulan fight like before, it is not only the best, if not, we must not let Fu Yulan dominate.

I threw the letter casually on the table, holding my forehead a little irritably, and I closed my eyes in deep thought, and my heart was very distressed.

This is really too embarrassing for me, not to mention that I didn't speak disrespectfully to the emperor a few days ago, just because I am a woman, I can't enter the officialdom at all.

"It's just whimsical."

I let out a long sigh, I really didn't know what Fu Yuying thought.

Yi Xuan looked at me like this, picked up the letter on the table suspiciously, and after reading it word by word, he threw the letter on the table again, and thought, "Maybe... The letter says that there is no way to do it. ”

I opened my eyes and looked at Yi Xuan, puzzled, "What?" ”

"Since the beginning of the Ye Dynasty, there has never been a precedent for female officials, so Fu Yuying shouldn't want you to enter the court as an official..."Yi Xuan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at me again: "He just said that you should participate in the government affairs, so you can go to the right minister's mansion to be a guest, and then hear about the things in the court from his mouth, and finally use the name of Fu Yuying, and let the ministers who are loyal to him in the court do things for you." ”

I nodded thoughtfully, and after a while, I slowly replied to him: "This method is feasible, but I have to let Fu Yuying send the news to the right minister first, and then I can go... I'll write to Ning Xiao right now and ask them to send someone to inform Fu Yuying. ”

As soon as I whistled and called the carrier pigeon in, Yi Xuan stopped my next move, "Why bother, just write directly to Fu Yuying." ”

As he spoke, he took out the jade pendant on his waist, handed it to me, and said: "In the past, I have always stayed in Lingzhou to do things for him, so in order to make it easier to contact, he found someone to train this pigeon, so that it can be familiar with the route between Donggong and Lingzhou, so now, you only need to write the letter, and then show it this jade pendant, then this letter will be sent to Lingzhou, and there will be a special person to pass the letter to Fu Yuying." ”

I see, I looked at this jade pendant thoughtfully for a long time, and secretly considered it in my heart.

If it is the emerald that can remind the carrier pigeon on the wrench, then this jade pendant should be the glitter above.

After I found a pen and paper and wrote my intentions concisely on the paper, I rolled up the letter and stuffed it into the letter on the pigeon's leg, and then I placed the glitter on the jade pendant in front of it.

Sure enough, it suddenly spread its wings, and in the blink of an eye, it had already flown out of the room.

Not long after, when Fu Yuying's secret letter was delivered to me again, even if I didn't open the letter, I knew what was written in the letter.

Yi Xuan said that he had been busy for so many days and wanted to have a good rest, so he didn't plan to accompany me, and he felt that it might be safer for me to stay in the Prime Minister's Mansion than in the palace.

I packed up casually and prepared to leave the palace, but before leaving, I suddenly thought of a big event.

I had to rely on the jade pendant in Yi Xuan's hand to get out of the palace, but Yi Xuan was unwilling to hand it over to me for safekeeping, he always felt that it would be easy for me to lose the jade pendant if I took it, so under the final negotiation, he took me out of the palace before returning the same way and returning to the East Palace.

Speaking of which, the right minister's mansion is still a little far from the palace, and it was close to dusk when I came out, so there were a lot fewer people on the street.

In order to get to the right minister's mansion as soon as possible, I took a shortcut.

I passed through a narrow alleyway, and as I saw that I was almost at the right minister's house, I suddenly felt that someone seemed to be following me.

I stopped and turned my head suspiciously.

Just then, a large hand suddenly reached out to me, clamped my neck tightly, and pushed me against the wall with all the force.

I closed my eyes in pain, and when I opened them again, I suddenly found that the person in front of me was actually Li Shengqi!

He grabbed my neck tightly, forcing me to staccato and say, "You... How could it be... Here? ”

He chuckled lightly and squeezed my neck harder, the chill in his eyes was full, "The old man is not in the prison of the Criminal Department, is it so surprising to you?" ”

As he spoke, he suddenly let go of my neck, and at the same time, his other hand slapped me very hard, and the force was so strong that I instantly debalanced and fell to the ground hard.

Before I could roll over, his foot was already firmly on my shoulder.

"If there is no secret assistance from the emperor, do you think your tricks can hide from the old man?" He sneered, slowly squatted down, reached out and pinched my neck again, and said coldly: "However, the old man was able to come out of the prison of the Criminal Department, thanks to the emperor's hint that the Criminal Department's guard of the old man today can be weaker. ”

I stared at him so hard that I couldn't breathe a word. But just when I was about to faint from lack of oxygen, the strength of his hand loosened a lot, as if deliberately giving me a chance to breathe, but in a few moments, he would squeeze again.

He seemed very happy to see me struggling so much in agony.

"Don't worry, you have ruined my great cause, how can the old man be willing to let you die easily?" He sneered, and suddenly let go of my neck.

I coughed a few times, and before I could say a word, he knocked me unconscious.
