Chapter 572: Dead
Seeing Ye Qing's face showing unprecedented solemnity, Zhong Qing couldn't figure out the stakes for a while, let alone why Ye Qing became so serious and serious, as if ...... It seems as if there will be a life-and-death battle going on.
"It's ...... Is it serious? Zhong Qing blinked her beautiful eyes, looking at the unprecedentedly dignified face, and for a moment she seemed to not know the man lying on the car window.
Ye Qing also looked at the tranquil Zhong Qing silently, nodded slowly, and said, "According to the worst outcome, it is very likely that the survival of the entire Zhong clan will be implicated." ”
Zhong Qing frowned, as if there was something unspeakable, his hands unconsciously twisted his sleeves, the line of sight that was originally staring at Ye Qing's eyes slowly lowered again, looked at the carriage blankly, and suddenly raised his head and said, "You...... Can you come in and talk? ”
"Huh? What the? This...... Oh. Ye Qing was stunned, he couldn't think of the beauty in front of him, and he held back such a sentence for a long time.
After turning around and saying to Xu Qing and continuing to turn along the Qinhuai River, he opened the side door, and then moved quickly and got into the carriage without dragging his feet.
As soon as he entered the carriage, Zhong Qing's unique fragrance filled with the tip of his nose.
Zhong Qing moved to the side slightly, making some extra space for Ye Qing who entered the carriage, but this carriage was not smaller than the carriage she usually used on weekdays, and after the two sat opposite each other, they were basically very close to each other, and they could even feel each other's breathing and tone when they spoke.
Even between him and Ye Qing, there was already more ambiguity in the strong place of the Imperial City, but at this moment, Zhong Qing was still a little embarrassed and turned his face slightly, looked at the back of the carriage, and thought for a while: "Can you explain it a little bit?" ”
Looking at Zhong Qing, whose face was slightly unnatural and restrained, someone pretending to be Hui Yanagishita, quickly calmed himself down, sorted out his thoughts, and then took out the secret letter just now and handed it to Zhong Qing, and said: "I don't know what grievances there are between King Xin and Zhao Ruyu, but it is certain that Zhong Ping's matter is a conspiracy between Zhao Ruyu and the Han family. ”
"Why are you so sure of Zhao Ruyu?" Zhong Qing looked at the secret letter handed over by Ye Qing, it turned out to be a letter written by Yang Cunzhong, the prison envoy of Jiankang, and the person who wanted to give it was Ye Qing in front of him: "Do you know him?" ”
Zhong Qing didn't know who Yang Cunzhong was before, but when her younger brother was arrested and put in prison, the Mention Prison Department was naturally concerned by her, and there was no need to ask, she knew from her mother's mouth that it was Yang Cunzhong who brought the Prison Mention to the mansion to get people that day.
"I haven't met, but the last Dali Temple Zuo Shaoqing was close friends with him, and I just received news from Yu Yunwen last night, because Yang Cunzhong told him about it, Zhong Ping was framed. And the person who did it was your uncle Jiankang Tong sentenced Zhong Lin. Ye Qing looked at Zhong Qing quietly and said.
Zhong Lin had a daughter named Zhong Xin, who was said to have married Zhao Ruyu, but soon after getting married, she died soon after, perhaps because she was suffering from a thin life or a disease.
Before, Ye Qing was willing to regard the death of Zhao Ruyu's wife as a normal life, but when Jiankang mentioned the secret letter that Yang Cunzhong, the prison envoy, had just given him, mentioning that Wang Gongwu, the commander of the Nankang Army, was rushing to Zhong Ping's mansion with the pacification envoy, Ye Qing instantly sensed that there must be something hidden in it.
That's why he asked Zhong Qing, is there any grudge between Zhao Ruyu and King Xin?
Wang Gongwu is just the commander of the Nankang Army, maybe it shouldn't cause Ye Qing to react and speculate so much, but if it wasn't for the umbrella he asked Mo Xiaobao to collect in Chengdu Mansion, he wouldn't have noticed that Wang Gongwu had been sent to Chengdu Mansion, and now he can be regarded as a native of Chengdu Mansion.
During the Jingkang period, the family ran to Chengdu Mansion to avoid disasters and wars, and it is precisely like this, Wang Gongwu has never been out of Chengdu Mansion, but after Han Cheng served as the secretary of the ministry, Wang Gongwu was transferred to Jiankang Mansion Nankang Army as the commander, and within two months, Zhao Ruyu was transferred back to Lin'an.
If there is no connection between them, Ye Qing will not believe it if he kills him.
Han Yanxuan and Zhao Ruyu can now wear a pair of pants, so after Han Yanxuan's father became the secretary of the ministry, there was no problem at all to help Zhao Ruyu mobilize a few henchmen.
What made Ye Qing even more strange was that Zhong Qing seemed to know that her uncle Zhong Lin would betray and frame Zhong Ping, and after she told the news that Tao Qian gave her last night, Zhong Qing actually behaved extremely calmly.
"Because Zhong Xin ......." Zhong Qing turned her head away from looking at Ye Qing's eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate her soul, opened her mouth a few times and hesitated, slowly lowered her head and said, "Zhong Xin...... Zhong Xin is dead in ...... On the matter of double cultivation with the king of letters. ”
"When?" Before Zhong Qing spoke, Ye Qing faintly guessed the grievances between Zhao Ruyu and Zhao Xuan, the king of letters, probably because of women, but he didn't expect that it was a double cultivation with the king of letters!
Zhong Qing took a deep breath, calmed her thoughts, lowered her head and said, "The day before I married into the Xinwang Mansion." ”
Now it was Ye Qing's turn to gasp, there was such a thing in this, no wonder Zhong Qing and King Xin didn't look like husband and wife, it turned out that the two were already separated before they got married.
Of course, what made him feel even more incredible was Zhao Ruyu's various performances, since he knew Zhao Ruyu, Zhao Ruyu has always given people a big grin, royal demeanor, as if he didn't care about anything, I didn't expect that there was such a hidden secret.
Zhao Gou has no heirs, and the current saint Zhao Yan and King Xin Zhao Xuan have all passed from the clan to Zhao Gou's knees, so Zhao Gou can't talk about any real father-son relationship with Zhao Xuan, the king of letters.
As a royal clansman, Zhao Ruyu obviously can't talk about how close the relationship with the Emperor Zhao Gou is, Zhao Ruyu's line, although it is also a royal family, but its branch has always been a green leaf-like foil since King Han Gongxian.
And the one who can inherit the orthodoxy of the Great Song Dynasty has always been the branch of Zhenzong Zhao Heng, and only when he came to Zhao Gou, because of the change of Jingkang, this branch also broke off the royal incense, and had to pass the stepchildren from other clans to continue the Zhao and Song royal families.
So now, in Zhao Gou's eyes, whether it is Zhao Ruyu or Zhao Xuan, the king of letters, the weight is afraid that it is only half a catty and eight taels, and no one can win more royal reuse.
But Zhao Ruyu is fortunate that he has not been as obsessed with beauty and double cultivation as King Xin over the years, whether it is in the political achievements of Chengdu Mansion or in making friends with other royal relatives and nobles, he has walked in front of King Xinwang Zhao Xuan, which also makes the court have to start weighing him and King Xin, who is more important and who is lighter.
And now the situation is clear at a glance, Zhao Ruyu's weight in the court and the royal family obviously exceeds the weight of Zhao Xuan, the king of letters, in the court and the royal family.
Zhao Shicheng, King of Wei Zhao Kai and other royal families were once introduced to Ye Qing by Zhao Ruyu in Yongjin Tower in Lin'an, helping Zhao Shicheng solve his personal lovesickness problem, and Zhao Kai, King of Wei, just said hello to himself and drank a meal of flower wine.
Looking back at the events in Yongjin Tower that day, it is obvious that Zhao Ruyu has long been ready to fight with King Xin head-on.
The reason why Zhao Shicheng and Zhao Kai, the king of Wei, were introduced to Ye Qing by Zhao Ruyu was obviously not just to return to Lin'an to simply have a meal of flower wine with Ye Qing, but to show Ye Qing that now his weight in the Zhao Song clan has completely surpassed that of Zhao Xuan, the king of letters.
is also telling Ye Qing that if one day, he Zhao Ruyu and Zhao Xuan, the king of letters, have to tear their faces, then Ye Qing should be able to weigh which side he should stand on.
I couldn't help but think of Zhao Ruyu's big grinning, white and chubby figure, and between laughing and laughing, he did everything without a trace, and the rest was to see how Ye Qing was in the team.
"People's hearts are separated from their bellies." Ye Qing sighed and said, not feeling the popularity of his sigh at all, it was all sprayed on Zhong Qing's face opposite without any waste.
Zhong Qing's face flushed slightly, but fortunately, she didn't have the heart to take care of these at this time, frowned, looked up at Ye Qing who was emotional, and asked, "You mean, the Emperor Taishang is tired of King Xin?" ”
"Zhao Ruyu's wife is interested in the matter of King Xin, presumably the Emperor and the Queen Mother, and even the Holy Lord and the Queen are all aware of it, right? At the beginning, it was obvious that the royal family was unwilling to publicize this matter, so they had to wronged Zhao Ruyu and transferred Zhao Ruyu to Chengdu Mansion to serve on a bad job, so as to avoid unhappiness between Zhao Ruyu and King Xin. After all, the second day is your big day with King Shin, isn't it? The royal family naturally wants to settle things and grieve one party. Ye Qing looked at Zhong Qingdao, who frowned deeply and looked quite dissatisfied when she said that she had a big day with King Xin.
"Zhao Ruyu, who endured humiliation and burden, has now returned, and naturally wants to have a settlement with King Xin, so they planned all this? In order to bring down the king of faith, but ...... Why do you want to use my Zhong family as a victim between them? Zhong Qing was a little unconvinced, and under Ye Qing's explanation, after figuring out the various joints, he said a little angrily.
"Because your uncle Zhong Lin is unwilling to be subservient, because her baby daughter died in the hands of King Xin, otherwise, he can be regarded as a relative of the emperor, not just looking at your father Zhong Kang's face, you can only envy that your family is a relative of the emperor. Zhong Xin died, his dream of being a relative of the emperor was shattered, and you were still going to marry into the Xinwang Mansion the day after Zhong Xin's death, and he would also enter the palace to congratulate your father and the Xinwang. Let's ask, if you and Zhong Xin change positions, your father will have to endure his grief the day after your death, and watch his niece marry the murderer of his daughter, will your father smile generously? Ye Qing looked at Zhong Qing, whose shoulders trembled, and gently reached out to hold Zhong Qing's hand that he wanted to retract.
"King Xin will not die, at most he will be deprived of his title and title, maybe in a few years, he will be able to become King Xin again, and our Zhong family ...... Wouldn't our Zhong family just ....... Unable to break free of Ye Qing's hand, he had to grab Ye Qing's hand with his backhand, his nails were about to be embedded in the flesh on the back of Ye Qing's hand, and Silver Tooth asked resentfully.
Ye Qingqiang endured the pain on the back of his hand, squeezed out a gentle smile, and he didn't know whether it was a pain subconsciously shaking his head, or because of the result, he shook his head helplessly and said: "Zhao Ruyu must vent the resentment that has been hidden in his heart for many years, but he also knows very well in his heart that it is impossible to let King Xin die, but if he can make King Xin lose face, like he did back then, taste the pain that even his own princess can't protect, presumably Zhao Ruyu will definitely do it." ”
"Then what if I give him my life?" Zhong Qing said angrily.
"Of course you can, but if you die, your family will also follow in your footsteps, and your brother Zhong Ping will be arrested because your uncle will not let them go. Alas...... The next thing is that Zhao Ruyu is watching, to see how King Xin will react. Ye Qing had a headache, and of course, the back of his hand was also very painful.
"Is this a dead end?" Zhong Qing grabbed Ye Qing's hand and asked a little helplessly.
"At the moment...... That is true. Ye Qing's tone said with a hint of bitterness.
"How about I go to ask the Queen Mother and the Empress?" Zhong Qing was a little broken, looked at Ye Qing helplessly and asked.
Ye Qing smiled bitterly, looked at Zhong Qing with pear blossoms and rain, reached out to help Zhong Qing wipe the tears that slipped to his mouth, and said bitterly: "You are also one of the victims of the matter between King Xin and Zhao Ruyu, and it is precisely because the day after Zhong Xin's death that you still have to marry into the palace, so the queen and the queen mother have been so kind to you over the years, right?" But....... ”
"But what?" Looking at Ye Qing, who paused, Zhong Qing let Ye Qing's somewhat rough hand help her wipe the tears on her cheeks, and asked hesitantly.
"You and King Xin have no real name, after so many years, do you think the queen and the queen mother will not be able to see it?" Ye Qing's words shocked Zhong Qing's heart, she always thought that she had disguised herself very well in front of the queen, the queen mother, and even the emperor, so she never thought that the name of herself and the king of faith would be seen through one day.
I can't help but think back to the various favors that the Queen Mother and the Queen have given her since she married into the palace, and she has always taken care of her feelings over the years, and has also allowed her to enter and leave the palace freely, and even some of the concubines in the Holy Saint are not as respected as she is in the palace, and they are favored by the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother.
"Is there really no way? If you think about it again, you were able to escape from the predicament set up by the Jin people for you at the beginning, can you help me think about what to do now? For the first time, Zhong Qing felt the importance of this man to herself.
It may have been said before that it was her long-dormant woman's heartstrings that were stirred by the bold man in front of her, who dared to insult herself and shake her hand when they met for the first time.
But when she heard more news about Ye Qing and got along with Ye Qing for a while, she found that she not only relied on her in her dreams, but now when she was in difficulty and helpless, her first reaction in her mind was to find him to talk to her and ask him to help her find a way.
She didn't want her parents, younger brother and other family members to be implicated in the battle between the royal family, but it was obvious that her younger brother was arrested, it was by no means an ordinary thing, and she was keenly aware of the seriousness of the matter, so she would find Ye Qing as soon as possible.
But obviously, this bureau, even the man in front of him, who can turn the clouds and rain in the Jin country, is helpless.
After all, this is a dead end, a dead end in which the royal family has to sacrifice the harmony and interests of others in order to maintain their apparent harmony and for the sake of the royal family's interests.
