96. I want you to help me
After Tang Xi left, Feng Lie's face was still very ugly, and after a while, he snorted heavily, and then picked up the pastry he had just put down and continued to eat it......
Li Sheng stood next to him and witnessed the whole process, hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty...... You seem to be very special to Princess Xi, huh? ”
Feng Lie paused, "Is there any?" ”
Li Sheng didn't speak, just stared at the pastry in his hand quietly, and the meaning was already self-evident.
Feng Lie glanced at the half of the pastry in his hand and wanted to throw it away, but he stopped as soon as he moved, pursed his lips and said, "I just think it's rare for her to send something over, it's very strange." ”
For this clumsy reason, Li Sheng didn't know how to complain, grinned, and then asked tentatively, "Are you...... It's because of what you said last time, I think she and ...... Is there something like that? ”
Feng Lie frowned, a look of hesitation flashed in her eyes, it seemed to be and it didn't seem to be, if she said that it was, she was not as good as Fu Jinglan, but it was ...... He just felt that she gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, which made him can't help but be curious about her and couldn't help but indulge.
"Li Sheng, it seems that you have too many words today."
Li Sheng was taken aback, "It's the slave who is too talkative, the emperor forgives the sin!" ”
Tang Xi had just spent a few days in the palace for a few idle days, and Fu Jinglan's palace maid suddenly came over, saying that Fu Jinglan was looking for her, she squinted her eyes, obviously Fu Jinglan was looking for her at this time, there should be something important, so she didn't bring anyone, and followed the palace maid to Changning Palace alone.
As soon as she saw her, Fu Jinglan said directly without any buffer, "I need you to help me." ”
Tang Xi raised his eyebrows, "Help you?" Is there anything I need help with here? Your status is much higher than mine. ”
Fu Jinglan pursed her lips, "I told you before that the reason why I am willing to come here is to take revenge. ”
Tang Xi frowned, and suddenly remembered that she had said that An Yuanhou was the enemy of her entire family, "You want me to help you deal with An Yuanhou?" ”
"That's right." Fu Jinglan said with a firm face, "There is an opportunity in front of me now, I must seize this opportunity!" ”
Tang Xi snorted and said slowly, "But...... It seems to be your own business, so why should I help you? ”
Fu Jinglan's face remained unchanged, "You also need me, do you know?" Feng Lie has already begun to be attracted to you, as long as I help you at this time, you will be able to get on the throne faster! ”
...... "I thank you!" I don't want to be in a position, okay?
Tang Xi held back the irritability in his heart and said indifferently, "You said Feng Lie was tempted by me?" Why should I believe you? ”
Fu Jinglan said lightly, "I've been staying by Feng Lie's side for a long time, and I think I still know a little about him, looking at his usual attitude towards you, I can be completely sure that he is slowly tempted by you, even if he doesn't like it yet, it's not far off, and now it's just an opportunity, and this opportunity, I can create it for you." ”
Tang Xi sighed, "I don't like to be threatened to do things the most, not to mention that your so-called opportunity is not inevitable, you are too confident, right?" ”
Fu Jinglan looked at Tang Xi for a long time with an uncertain expression, "You really don't want to help me?" ”
Tang Xi said impatiently, "I'm not interested." "This matter involves An Yuanhou, even if he deserves it no matter what fate he ends, but when she thinks of Lu Zheng, she doesn't want to wade into this troubled water, especially now that she herself is in the whirlpool, she has more important things to do, and she really doesn't have the heart to waste time on this.
Fu Jinglan gritted her teeth, "Then I'll change the conditions, as long as you help me this time, I'll tell you something you don't know." ”
Tang Xi's eyes moved, "What I don't know?" Which are you referring to? ”
Fu Jinglan showed a hint of mockery on her face, "Tang Xi, I can see that you have your own purpose, and you are not wholeheartedly planning for the Great Qiandi Emperor, although I don't know what you want, but it is obvious that you should be very interested in the back hand of the Great Qianbu." ”
Tang Xi narrowed his eyes, looked at Fu Jinglan's expression carefully, wanted to see if what she said was true or false, and repeated slowly in his mouth, "The back hand under the big dry cloth?" ”
"That's right, as long as you help me, I'll tell you, how?"
Tang Xi looked at her confident appearance, and felt that what she said should not be a lie, so he hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded, "Okay, I promise you, but the premise is that your news is worth my trouble." ”
Although she is reluctant to meddle in the affairs of An Yuanhou, if necessary, she will not retreat, no matter who he is, if he is wrong, he will pay the price, who will extend this hand, in fact, it is not much difference, it is nothing more than that she herself will feel more guilty about Lu Zheng, but if it is in front of the country's righteousness, she would rather bear this guilt.
When Fu Jinglan heard her agree, a hint of joy appeared on her face, and then she chuckled, "It's definitely worth it, but ...... I'll tell you the secret until you've completed your agreement. ”
Tang Xi narrowed his eyes and sneered, "It's best not to disappoint me, otherwise...... I'll let you know my means. ”
Fu Jinglan smiled faintly, "Princess Xi is too worried, no matter from which point of view, you are above me, so I won't be idle and bored to joke about my safety." ”
"It's better to be like this." Tang Xi snorted coldly.
"In order to let Princess Xi help me more wholeheartedly, I can reveal a little hint in advance." Fu Jinglan looked at her and said slowly, "In this palace, in addition to you and me, there is also a person who has been installed by a big cadre, as for who this person is...... I'll tell you when it's done. ”
Tang Xi's eyes suddenly sharpened, there are still people in this imperial city! This news was undoubtedly very important to her, so her expression immediately became solemn, and she roughly circled the doubtful person in her mind, but she could not reach a conclusion for a while.
After a while, she pursed her lips and said, "Tell me what happened to you." ”
Speaking of this, Fu Jinglan's expression became solemn again, "This matter was also mentioned by accident by Feng Lie two days ago, Lord Zheng of Dali Temple is dead, and he is the person of Marquis An Yuan." ”
Tang Xi frowned, "Dead?" How did he die? ”
"was killed at home, and then he was found to be corrupt and perverted the law, so I suspect that An Yuanhou did this, and Lord Zheng just did it as a substitute for the dead."
"So you want me to find out about this matter, and use this matter to lure out the corrupt things that Marquis An Yuan did, and pull him off the horse?"
"That's right," a hint of cruelty flashed in Fu Jinglan's eyes, "I want him to die." ”
Tang Xi pursed her lips and didn't speak, if she said that she would have been a little suspicious of what she said to Jinglan before, but at this time, she didn't doubt it at all, because she asked her to help, not to let her frame An Yuanhou, but to let her find out the truth, which at least shows that she didn't lie, since that's the case...... An Yuanhou is indeed innocent.
A trace of struggle flashed in her eyes, Yu Gong, Marquis An Yuan had made great contributions to Feng Yuan; Yu Private, she once respected him very much, and he was also Lu Zheng's father, how could she make up her mind to kill him? But she knew clearly in her heart that he really deserved to die.
As if seeing the hesitation in her eyes, Fu Jinglan sneered, "Are you hesitating because of Lu Zheng?" ”
Tang Xi didn't speak, and the expression in his eyes was dark and uncertain.
Fu Jinglan laughed, "When I was in Eagle Beak Mountain, although I didn't like you, I thought you were a person with a sense of justice, but I didn't expect you to be merciful for your personal feelings." ”
Her voice suddenly became sharp, "But An Yuanhou is not a good person at all!" He's a demon! If you keep him, more people will suffer, and killing him is to eliminate harm for the people, you know? ”
Yes, she knows...... Tang Xi closed his eyes, and after a long time, he spit out a few words lightly, "Okay, I promise you." ”
She knew that after saying this, the little affection between her and Lu Zheng would be completely broken.
She has always owed Lu Zheng, if he has a chance to meet again in the future, she will explain these things to him clearly, and then say sorry in person, and then if he wants to kill her to avenge his father, she will not complain.
Back from Changning Palace, Tang Xi sat in the courtyard for a long time, and then resurrected with full blood, in the afternoon she went out of the palace, looking for a chance to meet with Ying Yi, "Ying Yi, help me go to the return pavilion, talk to Shangguan Yu, secretly check the case of Master Zheng of Dali Temple, as well as his greed for ink, investigate the ins and outs clearly, and find a way to check An Yuanhou, and give me the information when I leave the palace five days later." ”
At the end, she added, "Just let her do her best." ”
Ying Yi answered, and then asked, "What are you doing with Yuanhou Cha'an?" Could it be ...... Do you suspect that Dali Siqing has something to do with him? But what does this have to do with you? What do you care so much about? ”
Tang Xi was speechless, this is not her own person, it is really not easy to use, let her do so many problems, but helplessly her own people were sent away by her, and only Ying Yi can use it at this time.
So she could only explain patiently, "I do suspect that the case of Dali Siqing was done by An Yuanhou, I suspect that he is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and even the previous case of Qianzhou Kunxian is directly related to him, I have been with Yan'er for a few days, and I have been looking for a chance to deal with this matter, but now I suddenly got a news, and I was ready to check it." ”
Ying Yi frowned, thinking that Tang Xi's explanation was quite reasonable, so he also nodded, "In fact, the master has always been suspicious of the matter of Kun County in Qianzhou, and the master has also investigated for a long time after he came back, but the other party did it too secretly, only some officials were found out, and then they all committed suicide and died, completely cutting off the clues, and in the end they had to stop it, but through that incident, the master also had some doubts about An Yuanhou, but he didn't know if the old fox found something, and then there was no action, so he couldn't start." , I didn't expect that not long after the master left, he couldn't help it. ”
Tang Xi was slightly stunned, it turned out that he didn't care about the affairs of Qianzhou Kun County, but in fact, he still put it in his heart, this man is really not easy to be sullen to such a point.
Seeing Tang Xi in a daze, Ying couldn't help but be curious, "Why don't you speak?" What are you thinking? ”
Tang Xi came back to his senses and glanced at him, "I'm thinking, it's the first time I've heard you say so much." ”
"......" Is this a disliked talk? Keichi burst into tears, do you think I want to? In the past, when he was on an errand, there was a shadow two to accompany him, and he could still talk if he had nothing to do, but now he was left alone, and he couldn't see Tang Xi for a few days, and he was lonely and lonely, okay? So when he saw Tang Xi again, he unconsciously said more......
Tang Xi looked at him with a resentful expression, and sneered, "I'm kidding, don't take it seriously, go and send a message to Shangguan Yu." ”
Kageichi left with some reluctance.
She doesn't have to think about the things that are verified here, but she has to think about it, how to tell Feng Lie when she finds out the truth? She is a princess who runs to Fengyuan to stay, and she still wants to meddle in the government, isn't this blatantly looking for death? In the past, when Huo Jinyan was there, she could have handed over this matter to Huo Jinyan, but now that Huo Jinyan is gone, she can't find a trustworthy official in the capital, so how can she remind Feng Lie?
She pondered for a long time, and finally decided to find a way to remind Feng Lie, so that he himself would suspect An Yuanhou, and when the time came, he would pay attention, and she would find a way to give him a little evidence, wouldn't everything be solved?
After waiting for a few days, Shangguan Yu had a result, she took a closer look at the things sent by Shangguan Yu, this Lord Zheng is really An Yuanhou's hand, but there is no direct evidence of this matter, it is just a reasonable conjecture that Shangguan Yu got by connecting some details in series during the investigation, and when she investigated An Yuanhou, she found that there seemed to be a secret room in An Yuanhou's room, although she couldn't find a chance to go in and check, but Shangguan Yu felt that nine out of ten of them were embezzled property over the years.
In general, although the evidence of An Yuanhou's murder was not found, there were still two pieces of evidence related to his corruption case, one was Zheng Daren's henchman, who was chased and killed by An Yuanhou's people and hid for a long time, Shangguan Yu followed the clues to find him and saved the person, this person knew everything about An Yuanhou and Zheng Daren, and he held their greedy account book in his hand.
This person has all the evidence, it can be said that the evidence is conclusive, and he can completely convict An Yuanhou, as long as he is arrested, then Feng Lie will naturally investigate the things he committed before, and add up to the piles...... Feng Lie probably wouldn't be merciful.
Early the next morning, Tang Xi went to Feng Lie with the chestnut cake made of Bai Lu, well, if you want people to help you do things, you have to be kind to others, and it should be okay to cater to other people's tastes occasionally.
It's just that when she arrived at the door, she remembered what Fu Jinglan said about Feng Lie's heartwarming remarks about her, and she muttered a little in her heart, shouldn't it? If she, who has never given Feng Lie a good look, can make Feng Lie tempted, then she will suspect that Feng Lie has a tendency to be abused......
After sorting out her mood, she raised her feet and walked in, "Your Majesty, you just got down to the early court, can you eat some snacks?" ”
As soon as the words fell, she saw Li Linglong, who was one step ahead of her again, sitting there and looking at her, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, this Li Linglong is really ghostly...... Why do you see her here every time you come?
Feng Lie noticed her gaze, coughed lightly, and subconsciously explained, "Two envoys came to Beiyang today, and the court asked me to transfer some things to Princess Sanssouci. ”
Li Linglong's eyes sank, and she became more and more anxious in her heart, she really felt that the emperor was not ordinary to Tang Xi recently, and if she continued like this, she was afraid that she would really have to go back to Beiyang in a gray manner.
She gritted her teeth, and took advantage of the visit of the envoys from Beiyang today, and decided to break the boat, "Your Majesty, the imperial brother has contacted me before, what does he mean ...... Since Beiyang and Feng Yuan have made peace, shouldn't they also make some decisions to consolidate the relationship between the two countries? Today's peace is only superficial, and if there is no actual relationship, I am afraid that it will be difficult to maintain it for a long time. ”
Tang Xi was stunned for a moment, yo, she said that why is Li Linglong so honest recently, is it a big move to co-author? This threat is used, this is a desperate battle? But she didn't understand, why was Li Linglong so anxious all of a sudden?
Thinking about it, her eyes looked at Feng Lie, wanting to see how he would react, of course, according to her understanding, Feng Lie, this kid has a very strange personality, and he doesn't like to be forced the most, I'm afraid that nine times out of ten he won't agree.
Sure enough, Feng Lie's face had sunk, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Princess Sanssouci is very right, then the princess will choose a good son-in-law among these princes and generals as soon as possible to marry as soon as possible, our Fengyuan royal family blood is withering, and there is indeed no one else except me, so these sons of the family can choose the same, and whoever you choose, I will crown him as a prince with a different surname, and I will not neglect Princess Sanssoucian." ”
As soon as Feng Lie's words came out, Li Linglong's face turned pale, she gritted her teeth and glanced at Tang Xi, her eyes were full of anger, and when she looked at Feng Lie again, her face was extremely aggrieved and unwilling, "Does the emperor really look down on me like that?" I thought what I said was already very clear, and all I wanted to marry was the emperor from beginning to end! Why do you deliberately humiliate me so deliberately? ”
Feng Lie's eyes were indifferent, "Princess Sanssouci is too worried, I don't want to humiliate you on purpose, it's just that I have no intention of you, and I don't want to delay the princess's good years, I'm afraid that it will embarrass the princess if I say it directly, so I expressed my meaning euphemistically, but I don't want to make you feel that I have humiliated you again." ”
Tang Xi, who was watching the play on the side of "......", felt that it was too unfortunate for him to come, which was too embarrassing, right? She bet that even if she didn't say a word the whole time, Li Linglong would definitely pour her anger on her! And...... Feng Lie, since you want to comfort people, can't you take a snack? At least don't be so cold! You don't talk like that at all, do you?
Sure enough, the next moment, Li Linglong was even more angry, as if she wanted to vent all the anger she had suffered recently, "What intentionally or unintentionally!" You are an emperor, which emperor has not been a harem since ancient times? Is each of these three thousand concubines the emperor's favorite? And what emperor wouldn't marry for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji? Why do you want to be so exceptional? ”
Faced with Li Linglong's excited emotions, Feng Lie seemed much colder, "I am the exception, a woman I don't like will never marry back, even if you are a princess and have a noble status, it is the same." ”
Li Linglong bit her lip tightly to prevent herself from crying, and then pointed at Tang Xi with one hand, and asked Feng Lie, "Is it because of her?" Because you like her, you don't want to take me together, for fear that I will overwhelm her position, don't you? ”
"......" she knows! Even if she doesn't say a word, Li Linglong will blame her, she is really wronged!
Feng Lie seemed to be slightly stunned when he heard her questioning, and then looked at Tang Xi with a cold gaze, and then said a little impatiently, "Even if it is?" This is Feng Yuan, you are just the princess of Beiyang, do you still want to point fingers at me? I don't think it's appropriate for you to talk to me about this today, go back and think about it, whether you want to choose a noble son to marry, or go back to Beiyang, and tell me when you think clearly, I have no opinion. ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Li Linglong to speak, so he turned his head to Li Sheng and said, "Send Princess Wuwu back to rest." ”
Li Linglong's eyes were red, and she suddenly broke away from Li Sheng's hand that came to help her, pointed at Tang Xi and said loudly, "Your Majesty, what kind of good thing do you think she is?" Isn't he a scheming person who has bad intentions towards Feng Yuan? She targeted Concubine Lan everywhere, and then designed to frame Jiang Zizhong, do you dare to be the emperor of such a woman? ”
Feng Lie's face sank suddenly, "Li Linglong! What can be said and what can not be said, I advise you to weigh it clearly, today I will treat you as if you are out of your mind and talking nonsense, but if you dare to talk nonsense in the future, even if you are the princess of Beiyang, I will dare to cure your crimes! ”
"Li Sheng, don't take people away yet!"
Li Linglong was forcibly pulled out by Li Sheng in a dejected spirit, and there were suddenly two people left in the room, Feng Lie and Tang Xi, and between their eyes, Tang Xi felt slightly embarrassed......
After being silent for a while, Feng Lie seemed to have adjusted his emotions before he said to her, "This is for me?" ”
Tang Xi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that he was still holding the chestnut cake in his hand, so he hurriedly stepped forward and put the chestnut cake down and said, "Ah, I remember that the emperor said last time that he liked to eat chestnut cake, so he specially made a little and sent it over." ”
Feng Lie lowered his eyes and glanced at it, let out a faint "um", then sat down and picked up the pastry and took a bite, "It tastes good." ”
"Oh...... Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment. Tang Xi was a little uncertain at this moment, what did Feng Lie mean by what he said just now? Was it said by Li Linglong, or was it true? But at this time, she is not easy to ask, what if she asks, Feng Lie will take it upon her to give her a position? Then she can't cry anymore!
And obviously Feng Lie is not in a good mood at this time, it doesn't seem to be a good time to bring up the Dali Siqing case, well, so forget it today!
Tang Xi was stunned, so he laughed dryly, "It's good if you think it's delicious, then the emperor, you eat slowly, I'll go back first!" ”
"Stop."
