Chapter 121: Bumping
In fact, the fifth prince didn't want to kill Wei Qingqing, but he needed a way to make Wei Qingqing, Rong Che, and the Guogong Mansion even more desperate for him, who let the emperor push the six princes to Rong Che, and Rong Minghuo came to him again?
The icing on the cake is never as grateful as sending charcoal in the snow.
It's just that the five princes overestimated Rong Minghuo's means and underestimated Wei Qingqing's deep scheming.
As a human being in two lives, Wei Qingqing is far more aware of how to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages than Rong Minghuo, who seems to be scheming, and how to catch the seven inches of the snake.
Before dawn the next day, Wei Qingqing refused all invitations under the pretext of handling Tao's funeral, even the invitation of the confidante of the fifth prince was also refused.
The fifth prince didn't notice the abnormality at first, in fact, his mind was not all on the Guogong Mansion at the moment, but more on the four princes walking towards the prince.
So when I held this funeral for Dow, it was quite quiet.
After the funeral.
Heavy snow fell in the capital again, and this year's snow was much heavier and thicker than in previous years.
In the warm pavilion of the lakeside with curtains hanging on all sides, the windows are opened, and a few plum blossoms are picked and inserted into the white jade bottle with a large mouth, exuding wisps of fragrance.
"Have you thought it clearly, do you really want to stand by and watch, regardless of the five princes?"
Wei Xun sat on one side, the dark blue official mansion on his body had not yet been replaced, and what he had in his hand was the order that had just been issued. Let him be directly promoted to the four-grade imperial history Zhongcheng of the Imperial History Terrace, and he is in charge of the post of a hundred officials, which can be described as an important minister.
And Wei Xun was suddenly pulled into this position by the emperor, not without reason.
He ruled over the Guogong Mansion, and he also wanted to give the Guogong Mansion some sweetness, and similarly, it was also a restriction.
Wei Qingshan's tendon is the emperor's best blade, but the emperor used Wei Xun's knife, which can't see the edge, to tell Rong Che clearly. If you dare to disobey, even Wei Xun's knife can stab him through the intestines.
After speaking, Wei Xun glanced at Wei Qingqing, who was sitting in the bead curtain and talking to Zhu Zhu, and then looked at Rong Che: "Everyone in the capital knows that Qingqing is your life, you have not only protected her, but also made her the target of public criticism." If there are no more five princes, do you really plan to support the six princes? ”
Because of the matter of the eldest princess, Wei Xun did not have a good impression of the sixth prince Qin Liangye.
"The five princes are ambitious, this time we are not standing idly by, but giving the five princes a chance." The corners of Rong Che's thin lips were a little sarcastic, although it was fleeting, but it was still for Wei Xun to see.
Wei Xun was shocked, it turned out that Rong Che did not take refuge in the Five Princes, but chose the Five Princes.
With such arrogance, what else is he hiding?
"What if the five princes didn't choose the Guogong Mansion?"
"That's his loss." Rong Che said softly, not the slightest dissatisfaction could be heard in his tone, but his words were very frivolous: "He wants me to buy his life for him, and it depends on whether he has the book to save his own life in advance." ”
Wei Xun frowned, and in an instant, he understood what Rong Che meant. His face tensed a little: "You mean, the emperor will take him back this time......"
"It's just a target."
In the bead curtain, Wei Qingqing spoke almost at the same time as Rong Che, and the person who this target was going to lead out was naturally Helian Zifeng who was hidden deep in the back.
Zhu Zhu didn't understand the government and was not very interested, and Wei Qingqing told her this, just out of selfishness, so she secretly reminded Lord Zhu that danger was coming.
"By the way, it will be Chinese New Year's Eve in some time, there is a big festival in the temple, and it will be much more lively than the ordinary temple fair, Qingqing, let's go out for a walk together." Zhu Zhu said happily, her black and white eyes were full of light.
Wei Qingqing wanted to refuse, but as soon as the conversation turned, she nodded, just right, there are some things she can do together.
Chinese New Year's Eve came quietly, although the crown prince passed away, but this annual festival, the emperor did not allow the people to go lively.
On that day, the streets outside the Great Xiangguo Temple were almost crowded with people.
The ornate incense cart came from somewhere in the street, but now that many nobles were traveling, the people looked at it twice, and then looked away.
In the incense car, first jumped out of a handsome little guy with red lips and white teeth, with a little shy smile on his face, he reached out to pick up the people in the carriage, and when the curtain was lifted, if he had seen some nobles, he could recognize that this was Her Royal Highness the eldest princess who had only been widowed for a few months.
When the eldest princess's hand was on the little girl's hand, the little girl had the courage to pinch her palm, and her eyes were full of ambiguity.
The eldest princess only glanced at him coldly, and after getting out of the carriage, she brushed off his hand: "Pay attention to your identity." ”
"Minions...... Minion ......"
The little girl's face turned white, and he knelt down to confess his guilt, but quietly held the eldest princess's ankle and rubbed his fingers.
The eldest princess glanced at him, but did not continue to speak, but walked into the inn, entered the wing, and went in together, naturally there was this beautiful little girl named Yuwan.
Opposite the inn.
Wei Qingqing looked at this scene clearly, and when she saw that Zhu Zhu, who had just been deliberately opened by her, had returned, she glanced at Lan Zhi on the side, and quietly withdrew her gaze to look at Zhu Zhu: "How about it, can you buy that talisman?" ”
"Naturally, it is said that there are pilgrims who go to ask for it in the morning, although I didn't go there personally, but I hope that the Bodhisattva will bless me." As he spoke, he stuffed a talisman into Wei Qingqing's hand.
Wei Qingqing lazily supported one side of her face, accepted it with a smile, and asked Wei Xun and Wei Qingshan together with Ge Lao, and it would be a little later to arrive, so that Zhu Zhu had no match to say something.
Zhu Zhu was elated, and he didn't see any murderous aura on Wei Qingqing's body. didn't know that at this moment, Wei Qingqing's people had already fought with the people who came secretly.
In the alley not far from the inn, the sound of sword light and the painful sound of the blade into the flesh were drowned out in the excitement of this Chinese New Year's Eve.
Leng Yin looked at the black-clothed corpses on the ground, stepped forward and touched them, and took out a piece of the waist card of the Four Princes' Mansion, and smiled disdainfully: "The Third Prince's method is inferior, come here, send the news to the Fourth Prince." ”
With that, he went to the inn.
When Wei Qingqing saw Leng Yin appear, he knew that the matter had been resolved.
She didn't hide it when she went out today, so before she went out, she made preparations that Wei Susu would be ruthless again.
"Now that things are done......"
Wei Qingqing originally planned to let Leng Yin go to see the situation of the eldest princess, but who knew that in the middle of speaking, there was a commotion on the other side.
Zhu Zhu was the first to poke his head out curiously: "Is it cousin?" ”
Wei Qingqing followed her gaze and directly saw Xu Yao, who was at a loss for what to do, and now the young lady of General Wei's mansion.
Xu Yao was obviously frightened, ran out of the restaurant in a panic, and tripped over the threshold when she went out of the door, and fell directly into a dog eating, attracting many onlookers.
The people from General Wei's Mansion greeted her and asked her strangely: "Young lady, why don't you see Sister Jade following?" ”
Jade was the maid who was sent by the Qu family to monitor her words and deeds when Xu Yao married into the general's mansion and was widowed, and she went in with her, but there was no trace at this time.
Xu Yao knew that the jade was gone, and it was bound to be difficult to explain, but when she remembered what she had just seen......
That beautiful little girl actually got under the skirt of the eldest princess...... Such absurdity, such shamelessness!
Xu Yao was like a crumbling little white flower, speechless, and wanted to go back to the carriage one by one, but the house leak happened to rain overnight. Hearing a bang, Jade jumped out of the broken window on the second floor and fell to the ground, immediately splashing a splash of blood.
Everyone was in an uproar, and when they all looked up, they immediately saw the disheveled eldest princess and the handsome little girl.
Although the window was quickly closed, what happened inside was a matter of speculation, especially the identity of the eldest princess who was now a new widow.
Although Xu Yao is ruthless and has many unjust souls under his hands, it is the first time to see someone die in front of him in such a bloody way.
Xu Yao wiped the wet things on her face, looked down, and saw the bright color, her throat was so dry that she couldn't speak.
"But the young lady of the General's Mansion? My master, please speak upstairs. ”
In a daze, someone came over to invite him.
Xu Yao saw that she seemed to have seen a ghost, but the maid took a few steps closer to her, which directly frightened Xu Yao to completely forget the rules and decency, turned her head and got into the carriage, and left quickly.
This scene fell in the eyes of everyone, which further confirmed the conjecture that the eldest princess and the beautiful little girl were doing something unusual.
For a while, this Chinese New Year's Eve became more lively. Micro book bar
The maid saw Xu Yao running away, the corners of her mouth hooked up an almost invisible smile, turned around and went back to the inn and went up to the second floor, but instead of talking to the eldest princess, she went to the compartment and saluted Ah Kun, who was sitting inside.
"Hard work, incense in the compartment, you stay and clean up before leaving."
Kun's ears moved, and he heard the eldest princess's reprimanding and scolding from the compartment. Quietly left with a blank face.
Zhu Zhu didn't react at this time, and was stunned: "Qingqing, this is ......"
"It's cold outside, close the window."
What's going on, they can clearly see the situation in the private room of the eldest princess on the second floor, the eldest princess's clothes are already messed up, and the little girl has already opened her mind, what happened, they are all married people, it goes without saying.
But fortunately, from their point of view, if the eldest princess is not careful, she will never be able to find them.
When the window was closed, Zhu Zhu finally reacted, pursed the corners of his lips for a long time, and then said sullenly: "Now it is rumored how much the eldest princess loves Uncle Rong, and now Uncle Rong has not been 'buried' for long." ”
"She's been calculated."
Wei Qingqing didn't know Rong Che's plan, but now Rong Che set up this private room for them, and when she saw the eldest princess and the beautiful little girl appear together, she vaguely guessed something.
But the eldest princess is not wronged, even if there is no such thing as today. Judging by her attitude towards that little guy, it will be sooner or later.
Zhu Zhu knew that he was not as smart as Wei Qingqing, and when he saw that Wei Qingqing's eyes were as calm as water, he thought about it and didn't ask more.
It just so happened that Wei Qingshan's father and son arrived.
Wei Hu has been going to the White Tiger Camp for a long time, and he just happened to have a letter back.
Ge Lao was very happy, Wei Hu, this kid, still remembered that he had collected burning knives from the southwest to honor his cheap master, and now he came upstairs and said directly: "It's even if he has a heart." ”
"The second brother is simple-hearted and has always been very filial to his master." Wei Qingqing personally got up and poured tea for Ge Lao.
"Simple? To put it bluntly, it's stupid. ”
Although Ge Lao was disgusted, the smile on his face was undiminished, and he said: "It's better to be stupid, save it like you, you have a lot of eyes like a sieve at a young age." After speaking, he didn't forget to tease Wei Qingshan a few words: "Wei Hu followed his father." ”
Wei Qingshan wiped the sweat from his forehead.
However, on Chinese New Year's Eve, Wei Qingqing did not all reunite with her family, and her preparation also told Wei Qingshan that they had to abandon the capital as a last resort.
After speaking, Wei Xun was very calm, as if he had known the result a long time ago.
Although Ge Lao was surprised, he smiled instantly: "It's okay, it's okay to go, the prince has no way to live, let alone you." Speaking of the crown prince, Ge Lao's eyes were much colder.
Wei Qingshan has an upright temperament and is also loyal, when he used to be an eight-rank petty official, he only thought about the people in his mind.
Now it's in the capital. also only thought about how to share the emperor's worries, but now Wei Qingqing suddenly spoke, saying that he would leave the emperor and leave the capital, so he didn't speak for a long time.
"If it is not expected, the next battle between the princes will be put on the surface." Wei Xun said, his voice a little lower: "I happened to see the emperor's pulse case from the Tai Hospital, the emperor's body, I'm just afraid of ......"
Wei Xun didn't finish. But what it means is clear to everyone.
Wei Qingqing finally knew why Rong Ruizhang dared to help the four princes.
"Daddy." Wei Qingqing looked at Wei Qingshan, Wei Qingshan's face was tense, and he looked at Wei Xun with complicated eyes: "Did you learn about it by chance?" ”
Wei Xun didn't expect him to turn his head and question himself: "Daddy......"
"When you were young, you always wanted to be an official, what did your father tell you at that time?" Wei Qingshan asked Wei Xun, obviously suppressing his anger.
Wei Xun frowned, but he still got up respectfully, lifted his robe and knelt in front of Wei Qingshan in public: "Father warned his son that he would not forget the country in times of trouble, and be loyal." ”
"Now!" Wei Qingshan didn't mean to let him get up at all.
Zhu Zhu hurriedly stood up and wanted to ask for mercy. was stopped by Wei Xun's eyes.
Wei Xun raised his head and looked at Wei Qingshan: "The father only asks his son to be loyal, so if the superior is not benevolent, should he also be loyal?" Is the son loyal to the superior or the people of the world? ”
"You ......" Wei Qingshan has never seen such a disobedient Wei Xun, he has always been strict with his son, and he raised his hand to fight, but fortunately he was stopped by Wei Qingqing in time.
"Qingqing, you go to the side first, it's none of your business."
Seeing Wei Qingqing, Wei Qingshan's tone suddenly softened, but Wei Qingqing knelt down with Wei Xun.
Wei Qingshan knew that she was pregnant, so she was so anxious that she got up and glared at Wei Xun fiercely: "Qingqing, what are you doing, get up quickly, and tell your father if you have something to say." ”
Wei Xun: "......"
"What if the daughter tells her father that the daughter thinks the same as the eldest brother?" Wei Qingqing asked Wei Qingshan.
Wei Qingshan was stunned and fell silent.
Wei Qingqing knew what Wei Qingshan had thought in the past few decades, and she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to change it for a while, so she only said: "Daddy, my daughter doesn't ask you to abandon the lord in danger, I just ask my father to ask for an order recently, and leave the capital temporarily. ”
Wei Qingshan's expression was still solemn, but when he saw Wei Qingqing's eyes wet, his voice was a little choked: "My daughter has no mother, and I don't want to have a father anymore." ”
Zhu Zhu listened, and shed tears of sympathy with true feelings, but Ge Lao threw peanuts into his mouth with a smile and persuaded: "You just listen to your daughter, leave the capital for a while, if you wade in the troubled waters this time, the Guogong Mansion, the Zhu family and your Wei family will have to follow you to finish." ”
Wei Qingshan's face really hesitated, he looked at his daughter, who already owed a lot, and thought about it a few times. In the end, he sighed: "Qingqing, you get up, Daddy listens to you." ”
Wei Xun was about to get up, but was glared at by Wei Qingshan: "Go back to the ancestral hall and kneel for your mother!" ”
Wei Xun didn't feel wronged, got up respectfully, saluted, and left.
Zhu Zhu naturally followed back in a hurry, Wei Qingqing saw that he had persuaded Wei Qingshan, and he had no worries in his heart, as long as he secretly asked Qiuyue to pack his things.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the people were lively, but the palace was extremely deserted, and even the banquets held every Chinese New Year's Eve in previous years were withdrawn, and only the emperor called several sons and daughters to have a meal with the concubines.
After dinner, the emperor specially called the four princes to go to the imperial study to talk.
When he came out of the palace, the third prince was still coughing badly.
"The third brother has such a severe wind and cold, he should also take a good rest." When the fifth prince came out, he saw the third prince walking slowly at the gate of the palace, and knew that he was waiting for him.
The third prince coughed a few more times: "Thank you for your concern, the fifth brother looks very good, and it seems that he has been doing well among the people over the years." ”
The fifth prince pretended not to understand his sarcasm. Smile: "Thank you for your concern." ”
The third prince saw that he was firmly attached to the hypocritical skin, and he didn't go around the bend with him: "You chose to come out at this time, it won't be a stepping stone to be the fourth child and send him up, right?" ”
"What does the third brother mean, the younger brother doesn't understand. The younger brother has been in the people for a long time, and he also longs for the family affection of his brother and brother. The Fifth Prince smiled.
The palms of the three princes were secretly tightened, and in an instant, they were held by a soft little hand.
Wei Susu took a step forward, blinked her eyes gently, looked at the fifth prince and smiled: "Your Royal Highness is sick and can't blow the wind, if the fifth brother doesn't mind, we'll go back first." ”
The fifth prince looked at Wei Susu, who suppressed the words, and naturally responded with a smile.
But as soon as Wei Susu left, the fifth prince lowered his eyelids: "Is it that she has been secretly attacking the young lady in the Guogong Mansion?" is a smart one, no wonder the third brother is so desperate for her, and is willing to give up the prince for her. ”
"What His Royal Highness means, the crown prince is actually the third prince......"
"The third child also wants to fight for this position, but he wants me to be the knife in his hand to get rid of the fourth." The fifth prince smiled coldly, but he didn't say much, only said to the people around him: "Since Ming'er is the New Year, go and prepare a few more gifts to send to the Guogong Mansion." ”
"Do you want the emperor to know that Rong Che is your person?"
"Otherwise, how could the third and fourth children take the bait?" The fifth prince said, the slender and agile figure appeared in his mind, and he smiled: "Among the things given by the emperor a while ago, I remember that there was a pair of phoenixes?" ”
"That's for the five princesses in the future......"
"Send it to the young lady." The fifth prince slowly walked to the carriage under the dim light of the palace lights outside the palace wall, and when his face disappeared in the darkness, he showed a little smile: "Let Archer know that his wife, this prince attaches great importance to it!" ”
