"Oh? Why is the queen mother not keeping me? ”

A clear voice sounded overhead, and the two of them were shocked, but they saw a hole suddenly open in the top of their heads, and a figure fluttered down, and it was Xie Fenghua, who was still ghostly.

I don't know when she got here, but now she floated silently like a ghost, her eyes smiling and full of mockery, obviously having finished listening to the conversation just now.

Du Pingfei was taken aback, thinking of the possibility of her coming here, he hurriedly moved around, blocked in front of Xiao Yao, and shouted: "Miss Xie Er, you are simply too presumptuous!" What kind of place is this, do you come here when you say you came? ”

Xie Fenghua grinned and shook his head as if he had heard some big joke, "The queen has a noble status, so she must know what kind of place this is?" If you let the emperor know, I don't know how you will feel? ”

"Presumptuous! The affairs of this palace, how can you put a beak in the beak of a little Miss Xie Fu? Du Pingfei pursed his lips, and this drink drank out the momentum of the mother's world to deter the harem.

It's a pity that the person standing in front of her is not the boudoir lady who is ignorant of the world, but Xie Fenghua, who has been inextricably linked with her, and this power can only be regarded as a paper tiger at most.

Xie Fenghua stepped forward, with a hint of impatience in his eyes, and said bluntly: "Queen Mother, my temper is not very good, and you don't have to try to intimidate me again and again." Since I hurt Xiao Yao and came here again, I must not look down on your moves. I'll come here, say a few words and leave, you don't have to rush people so much. ”

Du Pingfei didn't expect her to be so cold and hard, and after listening to it at this moment, a trace of uneasiness crossed in his heart.

For some reason, this hangerlang looks fearless, like Xie Fenghua.

And Xie Fenghua ......

Xu was aware of her abnormality, Xiao Yao's eyes sank, and he hurriedly said: "Miss Xie Er, your skills are not as good as others, and I will admit defeat." It's just that the person you're going to target is me, so why be alarmist? Why don't you make it clear? ”

"Who I'm targeting, and whether I'm alarmist or not, that's none of your business." Behind Xie Fenghua's back of his hand, he paced up slowly, and said casually, "It's good and decent, and you and I won't be tense to this point." No, if you have to hit me on the head, don't blame me for being ruthless. It's time to remove those framed bureaus. ”

No, Du Pingfei laughed coldly, looking at her like an idiot, "Who do you think you are, why do you stand here and speak wildly?" ”

Now that the words have come to this, there is no need to beat around the bush, Du Pingfei can be regarded as acquiescing in the previous self-directed and self-acting framing moves.

"Why?" And Xie Fenghua was not surprised, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, slowly chewing her words, and suddenly sneered, "Queen Mother, it seems that you haven't figured out the situation yet." Since I was able to come to you quietly, if I did anything to you, no one would find out. ”

She was still the same fluttering appearance, but when her eyes swept over the two of them, a murderous aura slanted out.

Du Pingfei's heart trembled, and he hurriedly shouted, "You are presumptuous! Come ......"

Xie Fenghua quickly clicked on her acupoint, pinched Xiao Yao's vein with one hand, pulled his mouth, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, do you still want to know why I am now?" ”

Du Pingfei was pointed at the acupoint by her, he couldn't say that he couldn't move, and his eyes showed a trace of horror that was almost crazy.

This Xie Er is very bold, no one in his eyes, and he doesn't play cards according to common sense, just like Xie Fenghua who doesn't eat hard and soft.

She originally thought that Xie Er was helpless and had a humble status, so he would be more scruples when he acted well. Who would have thought that those things that seemed to her to be full of scruples would become worthless in the eyes of the other party.

Where did the confidence come from?

Du Pingfei was so angry that he almost fainted.

But she didn't dare to faint, she could only watch Xie Fenghua's movements, watch her restrain Xiao Yao with a smile, and look at them with a smug face, with a light and light breeze.

Xiao Yao was already seriously injured by her, and she knew her skills, so she didn't struggle at the moment, coughed lightly, and asked, "Miss Xie Er, the person who wants to kill you is me, and it has nothing to do with the queen." If you want to vent, just come at me. ”

Xie Fenghua immediately shook his head and sighed: "Are you stupid for me?" You have always only obeyed the orders of the queen mother, and if she hadn't saved her mind to get rid of me, I would have almost died in the fire? ”

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yao's face changed greatly, and he said incredulously: "If something happens to the queen, you won't be able to eat and walk around!" Even if you don't care about your own life, you have to accumulate some virtue for the nine clans of the Xie family, right? ”

didn't want to, but Xie Fenghua waved his hand and said with a look of disgust: "Why do you say it so murderously? I didn't say I wanted to move the queen, but it was more than enough to take your life. ”

As she spoke, her gaze slipped to Du Pingfei's face, and she asked with interest: "Queen Mother, it should be quite cost-effective to exchange a fact for a life, right?" ”

"No......" Xiao Yao exclaimed, but Xie Fenghua clicked on the acupoint, and then said, "My request is also very simple, it is nothing more than to ask the queen mother to clarify, the so-called crime of assassinating the queen is just out of nothing." In return, I can consider leaving Xiao Yao's life behind. Of course, if Xiao Yao's life is not enough, then the life of the queen can be added. ”

After a pause, she continued: "Ugly words ahead, there is nothing I dare not do. You say, the queen went out of the palace to meet men privately, and both of them were attacked and killed in Du's mansion, can the storyteller business in Tianshangjing go to the next level? ”

She said to herself, her expression indifferently as if she was talking about how good the weather was today, but those words gnawed at the hearts of the other two like ants.

Du Pingfei's face was already white, and he had no doubt that she would do this.

This time I was in a hurry to leave the palace, and if it was known by those women in the harem, I am afraid it would cause unnecessary trouble. The most important thing is that if they really die here, it is estimated that no one will be able to detect it.

When the time comes, won't this woman be cheapened for nothing?

Almost instantly, she had already figured out what was at stake, and looked at Xie Fenghua with disgust, as if she was looking at something dirty.

Xie Fenghua was not annoyed, and hurriedly clicked on her acupoint, and said with a smile: "If the queen mother had been so knowledgeable earlier, wouldn't she have to suffer so much?" ”

"Don't be too complacent!" Du Pingfei scolded viciously a few times, looked at Xiao Yao, who had no choice but to close his eyes, gritted his teeth with hatred, and said, "As you wish!" But if something happens to Xiao Yao, this palace will definitely kill you! ”

Xie Fenghua raised his eyebrows slightly, noncommittal.

Her life is not something that anyone can take easily.

However, there was no need for her to talk to Du Ping here, she just said: "Then ask the queen to hurry back to the palace to deploy." After all, the game you set up with your own danger before was so seamless that I couldn't even think of a way to crack it. Now it's up to you to justify yourself. ”

Du Ping turned his head sharply, no longer looking at the smile on her face.

She was afraid that she would not hold back, so she would jump up and scratch the face of the flower.

Glancing at Xiao Yao worriedly, she walked out.

Behind him, Xie Fenghua sent a sentence in time, "Queen Mother, you have to move quickly!" I'm waiting for your news here, and when it's over, I'll give Xiao Yao a solution. You must not want to see Xiao Yao hold back for so long, right? ”

Du Pingfei stumbled hard, almost holding on to the door frame and walking out.

Seeing this, the smile on the corner of Xie Fenghua's mouth slowly retracted, looked back at Xiao Yao, and said mockingly: "I really can't see it!" The queen mother can still accept my threat for you. It's not in vain that you are so affectionate and loyal! ”

Xiao Yao closed his eyes in pain.

He was deaf and couldn't hear the words of this Miss Xie Er.

……

Soon after, Dali Temple was promoted to hear two cases.

One of them is the case of the fire and destruction of the prison cell of Dali Temple.

It is reported that a madman appeared in the cell that day, intending to slaughter all the people in the cell of Dali Temple. Fortunately, Miss Xie Er, who was trapped in the cell, turned the tide and transferred the prisoners in the cell to the tunnel in time, which saved a disaster.

As for the origin and purpose of those fanatics, Dali Siqing couldn't investigate it, so he was naturally scolded by the emperor.

The second is the case of Miss Xie Er's assassination of Queen Du in public.

After investigation, the truth of the case has also become clear. That Miss Xie Er was framed by someone and suffered a prison sentence for nothing, and the real murderer was someone else. Miss Xie Er was innocently punished, and the queen mother was not happy, so she gave some gifts to show comfort.

As for why and how the "real murderer" was framed, Xie Fenghua didn't care.

She just needs one result.

What's more, with Xiao Yao here, she is not worried that Du Pingfei will make a move in this matter.

After learning the result, Xie Fenghua kept his promise and let Xiao Yao go.

From the beginning, her idea was to intimidate Du Pingfei, not really to put them to death. Although it is not difficult to kill someone, the difficult thing is how to clean up the mess after that.

She didn't want to die yet, and she didn't hate Du Pingfei to the point that she had to die. If she ruined the opportunity to come back from the dead for no reason in this life, how could she be worthy of her sister Yinghua?

And after leaving the Du Mansion, she went to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion. Changying seemed to be greatly frightened when he saw her suddenly come to the door, but he quickly came back to his senses and hurriedly took her to the study.

Yuan Minzhou was also taken aback when he saw her coming, and hurriedly got up to greet her, and asked straight to the point: "On the queen's side, are you doing it?" ”

"Hmm." Xie Fenghua didn't hide it, and said to himself, "I went to Du Mansion and intimidated them. And they obeyed. ”

Yuan Minzhou was a little surprised, but he seemed to think of something, and suddenly smiled, "You are quite bold, and I am not worried that Queen Du will hold a grudge against you." ”

"Do you think she'll let me go if I don't make a move?" Xie Fenghua said disapprovingly.

has known Du Pingfei for so many years, and he has fought countless times openly and secretly, Xie Fenghua thinks that he still knows a lot about that woman's temperament.

Not to mention that Du Pingfei was willing to use himself to set up a frame, but Xiao Yao was later assassinated in prison, which is enough to illustrate the fact that her existence has hindered Du Pingfei's eyes, and she can no longer even live in the world.

Even if she doesn't threaten and intimidate this time, I'm afraid she won't end up unharmed.

Since you are destined to offend people, why should you be afraid?

Yuan Minzhou didn't know what she was thinking, and only said, "Since you have an idea, I won't say more." It's just that Queen Du has put so much effort into this, and she must not give up. Have you figured out how to deal with it? ”

Xie Fenghua thought for a moment, and suddenly asked, "The person who asked you to go to find it before, has there been a result?" ”

"Huh?" Yuan Minzhou was stunned, then reacted, shook his head and said, "There has been no news yet." If there is a result, I will let you know as soon as possible. ”

Then you can only stand still.

Xie Fenghua suddenly had an idea in his heart, "At present, everyone in the Xie Mansion is still locked up in the prison, and the situation is not too good. However, fortunately, this case is led by you, and I can relax for the time being. Until there is news from your people, I plan to stay and return to the prison. ”

Yuan Minzhou thought about it and could only agree.

Although the environment of the prison is not good, there are masters guarding it inside and out, so there is naturally no need to worry about safety. Now, since she is facing Queen Du, she must be on guard against Queen Du's moves at any time, and it seems that it is most appropriate to stay in the prison.

Seeing that he had no objections, Xie Fenghua also relieved himself. Although she is used to making her own decisions, Yuan Minzhou has helped her so much, and there are some things that she still needs to be informed.

After that, she asked about Mrs. Yuan's situation, and after learning that there was no major problem, she also went with Yuan Minzhou to see Wan Peng, who was imprisoned in the secret prison. After Changying rescued this person, he asked a doctor to treat him, and now the arrow that was seriously injured by Xiao Yao has slowly improved, and it must give Du Pingfei a great surprise later.

Xie Fenghua stayed in the Hou Mansion for a while, and then returned to the prison.

The days in the prison were unchanged, and Yuan Minzhou seemed to be worried that she would be bored and overthink, so he sent some books and pamphlets. She lay on the straw pile boredly flipping through the brochures sent by Yuan Minzhou, and after reading it, she went through the messy thoughts in her mind over and over again.

The book recorded the "strange things" that had happened in Tianshangjing over the years, and she read it as a story when she was bored. And what is written in the booklet is the basic situation of the powerful families in Tianshang Beijing, which is simply perfect for her, a person who stays at the border all year round.

On this day, she happened to turn to what Xie Zhengyun did when he was a waiter in the Ministry of Labor, and when she saw one of them, she sat up from the straw pile suddenly, and walked towards Xie Zhengyun's cell opposite without saying a word, and asked in a deep voice through the iron bar: "Second uncle, I have something I want to ask you." ”

Xie Zhengyun rarely saw her such a cold look, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, moved over, didn't speak for a long time, his voice became hoarse, and asked, "Second girl, what do you want to ask?" ”

"What's going on here?" Xie Fenghua held the booklet in his hand in front of him, pointed to a certain line of words with his slender fingers, and said puzzledly, "This booklet records that when you built a canal in Mocheng the year before last, you also built an additional auxiliary canal, why is this?" And what is it for? ”

When Xie Zhengyun heard this, his expression relaxed, and he didn't care much about it: "There is a reason for this. As you know, Mocheng is the border city between the Liang Dynasty and the Xilu Kingdom, and it has been harassed by the Xilu barbarians all the year round, and the livelihood of the people has been greatly affected, and the crops are difficult to grow due to lack of water. I was ordered to go to Mocheng to build this canal in order to solve the problem of crop cultivation for the people. ”

"But didn't you build the main ditch? What is the use of this auxiliary canal? In his early years, Xie Fenghua had indeed heard about the difficult farming of the people of Mocheng.

At that time, the situation was too far away, and she didn't remember it too clearly, but she had never heard that Xie Zhengyun also built an auxiliary canal.

Is there anything else she doesn't know?

At this time, Xie Zhengyun continued: "You may not know that the terrain of Mocheng is special, and the water upstream of the main canal built is not too abundant. For the sake of long-term planning, the Ministry of Industry at that time thought of a way, and dug another auxiliary canal under the main canal in case of emergency. The auxiliary canal was originally a tunnel, the front part was sealed with a boulder weighing a thousand catties, and the shore was controlled by a mechanism. If the main canal has sufficient water, the auxiliary canal will not be activated. However, if the water is insufficient, the megalithic mechanism that seals the auxiliary canal will be opened, and the auxiliary canal will divert the water of the River Styx into the city of Ink, which will be used to irrigate the crops along the river. ”

"Wait! You say that the auxiliary canal leads to the water of the Styx? Xie Fenghua's brows suddenly furrowed tightly.

She remembered that the Styx was a special river. The special thing is that this is the only natural river channel of the Liang Dynasty that runs through the border cities of the current dynasty and the border cities of the enemy country.

When she was fighting in Mocheng, she and the leader of the enemy army in the West had the idea of moving the river, but in the end they were unsuccessful. Because of the huge drop in the upper and middle reaches of this river, the water is turbulent, and it is basically impossible to completely pass through the entire river, whether it is a boat or an underwater crossing.

But the Imperial Styx River is not full of turbulent water, what if there is a waterway that can allow the people who cross the river to change their ways halfway to ease and rest?

For example, this auxiliary canal!

Thinking of this possibility, Xie Fenghua felt a deep sense of fear in his heart. She thinks that she has experienced a lot of storms, but there has never been a time when she is so helpless.

At this moment, she only felt a chill spread rapidly from the soles of her feet to all her limbs, penetrating through the bone marrow and invading her chest and lungs, freezing her entire heart into ice.

It wasn't until Xie Zhengyun slapped her arm vigorously that she came back to her senses, and the moment she came back to her senses, she grabbed Xie Zhengyun's hand violently and screamed; "Second uncle, tell me, who knows about the existence of this auxiliary canal?"

Xie Zhengyun was still a little confused, but her face was too solemn and solemn, which also made him sense that something was wrong, and after thinking about it for a while, he said, "There are many people who know." In addition to the dead Gong Fanchao and me, there were also people who participated in the construction at that time. Two girls, but what's wrong? ”

Xie Fenghua didn't answer him, just buried his head between his knees, took a deep breath, and his mind was a mess.

Although it was only speculation, she knew very well in her heart what kind of uproar such speculation would cause.

At this time, it seemed that she could only pray that God would open her eyes.

But God doesn't seem to open his eyes.

On the same night, a team of Imperial Forest Army came from the prison and took Xie Zhengyun out. Xie Fenghua asked where he was, but no one answered her. And her movement was restricted, and she could no longer move around the prison as before.

And the guards in the prison also suddenly increased, patrolling around the cells from time to time.

A dead silence suddenly enveloped the prison, and everyone's hearts were like pressing on a big stone, and they were about to lose their breath.

That night, Xie Zhengyun did not return to prison.

It was the first time Xie Fenghua felt so uneasy, and Yuan Minzhou didn't come to the prison again, and she couldn't find any way to pass the news outside.

It wasn't until the evening of the next day that a person ushered in the prison that Xie Fenghua finally confirmed the guess in his heart.

The person who came was Du Pingfei.

Xu is to be low-key, today she wore a simple light blue long skirt, covered with a lotus blue cloak, and everywhere she passed, the guards all bowed and saluted, and they were very stylish.

She walked from the end of the passage, her chin raised slightly, and when she saw Xie Fenghua, a trace of pride flashed in her eyes very quickly, and then she ordered someone to open the prison door, walked in and looked at her condescendingly, and sighed: "Yo, isn't this the majestic Miss Xie Er earlier?" How did it get to this point? What is it that is on the ground? It looks not only dirty, but also extremely rough, and I'm not afraid of Miss Xie Er's delicate and tender skin? ”

As if thinking of something, Du Pingfei pursed his lips and laughed again, and said disdainfully: "This palace has forgotten, Miss Xie Er likes to dance and play with swords, she is a real rough person, presumably she has rough skin and thick meat, and she will not care about this detail." ”

Xie Fenghua hooked his lips coldly, pulled her to the ground, held her wrist tightly, and sneered: "The queen mother came here to observe the people's feelings, how can she just look at it?" You have to know if the ground in this prison is good to sit on, right? ”

Seeing this, Yuehe wanted to step forward, but was kicked out by Xie Fenghua.

only heard a bang, and the cell door was locked by her from the inside, she turned around, pressed a hand on Du Pingfei's shoulder, pointed to the ground and said, "Oh, Queen Mother, don't move!" Otherwise, this ant is going to get into your skirt......"

"Ahhh Let go of Hongu! ”

“…… Mother, I said don't move. It would be even worse if it was moved again. Look, there's a cockroach here, it seems to like the smell of the mother, please let the courtiers get rid of it for you...... Ah, how did it get into the mother's sleeve...... Oh no, mother, the courtier accidentally pushed it deep into her sleeve......"

"Xie Yinghua, you are looking for death, let go of this palace, this palace wants to fight hard with you......"

"Desperate? I'm so scared! Xie Fenghua grinned, a mouthful of white teeth was terrifying, and suddenly let go of his hand, leaned lazily against the wall, watched Du Pingfei lose his dignity and shake the clothes on his body elegantly, and suddenly sneered, "A brainless woman, it's really easy to deceive!" ”

Du Ping stopped the movements in his hand suddenly, looked at her with compassion, and squeezed out three words from between his teeth, "Thank you!" Reflect! Chinese! ”
