101. Fool me
South Den.
Emperor Yongchang's face was full of anger and surprise, and his voice was much lower than before: "A county lord with a foreign surname dares to wash the Chenwang Mansion in blood, I almost think that this world has changed his surname, and it is no longer my Li family's country!" ”
Who can afford the emperor's wrath?
A group of courtiers suddenly stared at each other, not knowing what to do.
Originally, today the emperor gathered the cabinet to gather in the south study to discuss the matter of the great drought in the western states and the appropriation of funds by the imperial court for the earthquake, but who knew that the matter had just begun, but an inner servant came to report that it was the lord of Yongning who led people to wash the Chenwang Mansion in blood! Not to mention the emperor's anger, even those who are courtiers almost fell to the ground with their eyes on the ground.
Who is King Chen? Who is the Lord of Yongning?
One is the noble blood of the dragon son and phoenix grandson, although he is not a descendant of the middle palace, but he was raised by the middle palace, and he is comparable to the emperor's affectionate and unusual prince! But Rong Jin, who had a dead mother and an unknown father, who won the title of county lord by royal grace, dared to pull teeth from the tiger's mouth! Really...... A cadre of ministers shook their heads frequently in their hearts, and invariably thought of a sentence: "The poor are rich at first glance, stretch out their eyes and pull out their stomachs!" ”
On the throne, although Emperor Yongchang tried his best to control his anger, the look on his face was ugly, so that people did not dare to look at it directly.
Several scholars in the cabinet then looked at Qin Sui, a scholar of the Middle Pole Palace, expecting him to come up with an idea. I don't want Qin Sui, but I look at my nose and nose, and my heart is as immobile as a mountain. In this scene, I only saw that a few pavilion elders almost had their back tooth sockets bitten, and the voice of the waiter sounded outside the door.
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asks to see you."
Prince? The prince asks to see the emperor at this time?
But in an instant, everyone thought that the county lord of Yongning was named the county lord because of his meritorious service in saving the prince, and then remembered that the county lord of Yongning was said to have inherited her mother's beauty and won the eyes of the queen's mother, could it be ...... Although the people did not raise their heads, their hearts were alive.
There is a way that the hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, the prince is in his youth, it is the age when love is beginning to open, and the lord of Yongning is a celestial figure, the prince came to ask the emperor for her or something, it is really not an uncommon thing!
Emperor Yongchang on the throne listened to the return of the servant, his gloomy face, but there was a glint between his eyebrows, and he suddenly remembered that the prince seemed to have something to say that day, and then because he was busy with state affairs, he also forgot about it. The prince is not a reckless person, let alone a lustful person, but these three actions seem to be related to Rong Jin.
Could it be that there is something important in this Rong Jin? Emperor Yongchang's heart moved, so he waved his hand and instructed the elders under the throne: "All step down, this matter will be discussed later." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The elders of the pavilion retreated.
Emperor Yongchang said to Feng Shou, who was waiting beside him: "Prince Xuan enters the palace. ”
Not long after, the crown prince Li Xi walked in from outside.
After the crown prince saluted, Emperor Yongchang said to Li Xi: "Come to look for me at this time, but is there something?" ”
"Back to the father, the son has something to do with his father." Li Xi said.
Emperor Yongchang looked at the prince with gentle eyebrows, and after a moment of silence, he said to Feng Shou: "You go down, guard the palace gate, and no idle people are allowed to approach." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Feng Shougong retreated, but he secretly wondered in his heart: This is the second time that the emperor has summoned the prince alone, and he has to find out what the prince said to the emperor!
When only the father and son were left in the hall, Emperor Yongchang slowly spoke: "What's the matter? ”
"Erchen is here for Rong Jin's business." Li Xi said straight to the point.
When Emperor Yongchang heard this, his eyebrows were raised slightly, and a shallow doubt appeared on his face that had not argued with joy and anger all year round.
"Oh? You're going to intercede for her? ”
Li Xi paused, nodded slowly, and said, "Yes." ”
"Ridiculous!" Emperor Yongchang's voice was sharp, and he looked at Li Xi with a heavy momentum, "Do you know that Rong Jin trampled on the majesty of my heavenly family, just like that, do you still want to intercede for her?" ”
Li Xi was silent for a moment, the corners of his lips provoked a shallow smile, and he raised his head and calmly greeted Emperor Yongchang, "Father, if the son says that the jade seal of the country can only be retrieved by Rong Jin, do you believe it or not?" ”
Emperor Yongchang's treacherous eyes suddenly tightened, and his gaze looked at Li Xi like a sword.
"The jade seal of the country?!"
"Father, the emperor still remembers that the emperor told you that the emperor grandfather gave a very important thing to that woman!" Li Xi asked.
Emperor Yongchang bowed his head, but said with questions: "What does that woman have to do with Rong Jin?" ”
"When Erchen was recuperating that day, he once saw a person who looked very similar to the woman who came to see the emperor's grandfather, Erchen was puzzled at the time, and once asked him, who is he? He said to his son, he is the man of the lord of Yongning! Li Xi said.
"Rong Jin's people?" Emperor Yongchang looked at Li Xi.
Li Xi nodded.
Emperor Yongchang couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and when he came back to his senses, his deep eyes drooped slightly, and he said lightly: "On that day, why didn't you say it?" ”
"Erchen was going to say it that day, but then because the county lord of Yongning was present, he didn't dare to say more."
Emperor Yongchang raised his eyes, swept his gaze back and forth on Li Xi's face, leaned slightly, and said softly: "Xi'er, my father wants to point out the daughter of Scholar Qin to Kai'er, what do you think?" ”
"If my father thinks it's appropriate, then it's definitely suitable." Li Xi said lightly.
When Emperor Yongchang heard this, his eyes couldn't help but look at Li Xi again, "Your queen mother had a plan that day, and I wanted you to accept Rong Jin." ”
"Back to my father, the queen mother does have this intention."
"What do you say?" The corners of Emperor Yongchang's lips pursed into a smile, and he looked at Li Xi, "Do you want to accept her?" ”
Li Xi still had a gentle and elegant expression, and his gaze at Emperor Yongchang was the same as the previous Wen Xu, hearing this, but the curvature of his lips sank slightly, and he said softly: "The sons obey the arrangement of the father, the father says to accept, the sons will accept, the father will not accept, the father will not accept, the sons will not accept." ”
Emperor Yongchang silently glanced at Li Xi and did not say a word.
If he didn't make a sound, Li Xi didn't say anything.
Long.
Emperor Yongchang waved his hand and said to Li Xi: "You step down, I still have state affairs to discuss with the elders." ”
"Yes, Father."
Li Xi bowed and retreated.
In the end, Emperor Yongchang didn't say what to do with Rong Jin, and this round of father-son confrontation ended in a slightly peaceful situation.
Li Xi walked out of the south study.
He didn't walk long before he saw a small chamberlain hiding in the corner and peeking into his head. Li Xi recognized him as a small chamberlain under the Duke of Debao of Fengyi Palace.
"Come out."
The little chamberlain hurriedly ran out and saluted Li Xi, "His Royal Highness the Prince of Qiqi, the queen asked the little one to take a look, and said yes, if Your Highness is free, please go to the Fengyi Palace." ”
Li Xi nodded, and said to the little chamberlain: "The palace knows, you go back to the queen mother, and you say that the palace will come later." ”
Xiao Nei replied and hurriedly went back to the mission.
Gu Yong, who was waiting for Li Xi, stepped forward and said worriedly: "Your Highness, do you really want to go to Fengyi Palace?" ”
"What's wrong?" Li Xi looked at Gu Yong.
Gu Yong wanted to say nothing and stopped looking at the south study not far behind him.
Li Xi followed Gu Yong's gaze, leaned slightly, and the corners of his lips rose with a shallow arc, and he didn't say anything, but the direction under his feet was the direction of Fengyi Palace.
Gu Yong had no choice but to follow.
Fengyi Palace.
Empress Lu was talking to Lin Hong softly, and someone from the palace came in to report.
"Niangniang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down."
Lin Hong hurriedly stood up, and Empress Lu said softly: "You go to welcome Xi'er for the palace." ”
"Yes, sissy."
Not long after, Lin Hong invited Li Xi into the hall.
Empress Lu looked at Li Xi who was walking towards her with a smile, raised her hand and pointed to the brocade beside her and said, "Come here, I haven't seen you for a few days, what are you busy with?" ”
Li Xi sat on the brocade, looked up at Empress Lu and smiled gently, and replied: "I'm not busy with anything, it's just that a few days ago, my father said that the child should also learn to deal with court affairs. ”
As he spoke, Lin Hong had already taken the tea offered by the little palace people and put it on the small table beside Li Xi.
Li Xi smiled and bowed slightly to Lin Hong, took the teacup, and took a shallow sip.
Empress Lu glanced at Lin Hong, Lin Hong turned around and took all the palace people in the hall down, and she personally guarded the door of the palace. Li Xi put down the tea cup in his hand, looked at Lin Hong, who was guarding the entrance of the hall, and then looked back at Queen Lu, paused, and said softly: "Queen Mother, but I want to ask what the child said to his father when he went to the south study?" ”
When Empress Lu heard this, a smile bloomed between her eyebrows, and she looked at Li Xi lovingly and said, "Since you know, is it inconvenient for the queen mother to know?" ”
Li Xi raised his head and smiled at Empress Lu, but didn't say anything, just lowered his elegant and delicate eyebrows.
Empress Lu couldn't help frowning slightly, but in the next moment, she saw Li Xi's fingers dipped in the tea in the teacup, and she quickly wrote on the small table. Empress Lu's heart was shocked, and she couldn't help leaning slightly towards Li Xi's words, the more she looked at it, the tighter her brows became, and the more she looked at her face, the more ugly her face became, and in the end, the whole person was already like a full string of arrows, ready to go.
After writing what he was going to say, Li Xi looked up at Empress Lu, and when he saw Empress Lu like this, he was silent, picked up Empress Lu's tightly clenched hand, broke her bent fingers, and pinched Empress Lu's cold fingers.
Empress Lu came back to her senses at this time, looked at Li Xi, pulled the corners of her mouth, and a stiff smile appeared on her face.
At the end, he asked softly: "Your father, the emperor, did he really say that he wanted to point out the young lady in the old mansion of the Qin Pavilion to your second emperor brother?" ”
Li Xi smiled and said: "Qin Ge is always a capable minister, Miss Qin is also a virtuous person, and she has a small relationship with the second emperor's brother, if it really happens, it will also be a good conversation." ”
Empress Lu looked at Li Xi, who seemed to be telling a story, shook her head with a smile, and said angrily: "You can think about it." ”
Li Xi smiled back.
Jingqi Palace.
Yuan Guifei listened to the reply of the little palace person, raised her head and glanced at Su Zhi, Su Zhi showed a gesture to the little palace maid behind her, and the little palace maid stepped forward and stuffed a purse into the little palace person who was talking back.
"Slave and maid thank you for your grace." The little palace people hurriedly knelt down to thank him.
"Okay, let's go down, remember, if you hear something again, tell your mother, our mother won't treat you badly!" Su Zhi said.
"Yes, slave remembers."
Su Zhi waved her hand, and the people of the small palace retreated happily with their purses in their hands.
As soon as the people from the small palace left, Yuan Guifei immediately looked up at Su Zhi, because she was too excited, her voice trembled.
"Su Zhi, do you think this is true? Does the emperor really want to point out the daughter of Qin Ge's hometown to Kai'er? ”
Su Zhi smiled and took the beauty hammer on the side, sat down at the feet of Yuan Guifei, and said softly while knocking her feet for her: "Although Kou'er is not a palace person with a head and a face, she is also an old man in Fengyi Palace, and it stands to reason that the news she sent over should not be fake." ”
"That's what I said, but how cunning Lu Huiyu is, you don't know it, I'm afraid of ......" Yuan Guifei put a smile on her face and said to Su Zhi: "In case it is Lu Huiyu's deliberate rumor, just waiting for me to go to the emperor to ask for myself, wouldn't I die unjustly." ”
When Su Zhi heard this, she thought about it and said softly: "Since this is the case, then the mother might as well brake quietly, if the emperor really intends to point out Miss Qin to the prince, you are happy to thank you, if it is just a bureau set up by the queen's mother, you didn't move anyway, and the emperor can't blame you." ”
Yuan Guifei nodded.
It stands to reason that this is the most secure way, but ...... sighed, frowned, and said with a sad face: "But, I really want to ask Miss Qin for Kai'er, it's not entirely because of Qin Ge's old age, Miss Qin, you have also seen it, her talent and character are all first-class and good, why can he Li Xi marry Zhou Huiqi, who is famous in Kyoto, and my Kai'er can't marry a gentle and virtuous girl as a concubine!" ”
Su Zhi smiled and whispered, "It's not." ”
Yuan Guifei laughed again and said softly: "You say, how about I let Kai'er go to the emperor to test the temptation?" ”
Su Zhi's face changed, and she said hesitantly: "Niangniang, isn't this okay?" ”
Concubine Yuan sighed, she just said it, where would she really dare to let Li Kai test the emperor's style. After following Emperor Yongchang for so many years, she still doesn't know what kind of person this is? What he wants to give, you don't have to fight, what he doesn't want to give, you just snatch your head, and if you don't give it, you don't give it!
However, now what she wants to fight for is not a jewel, a few nights of grace, what she wants to fight for is the position of supreme glory, not that he doesn't give it, she won't fight! Fighting, it must be argued, but it is also necessary to pay attention to a method.
Yuan Guifei put this aside in advance and said to Su Zhi: "What did you say to the emperor when the prince entered the south study?" It's impossible that he went to discuss Kai'er's marriage with the emperor, right? ”
"There are Gonggong Feng's people staring at the south study, and our people don't dare to get too close." Su Zhi pondered and said: "Besides, there is still the leader of the division in the main hall, if you want to know what the prince said to the emperor, I am afraid that it will be difficult in a short time." ”
Yuan Guifei nodded, "Even Feng Shou has been branched out, I always feel that things are not simple." After a pause, he said to Su Zhi: "You go and inquire and see which palace the emperor is resting in tonight." ”
"Yes, sissy."
Su Zhi stood up and was about to get up and withdraw, but the voice of Yuan Guifei sounded behind her.
"Yesterday, Princess Erchen asked people to send a message in, and asked me to stay in the palace for one night, but I didn't want that little girl to listen to a few gossips and run back by herself. You go and ask what the hell is going on. ”
"Oh, speaking of which, the slave is trying to tell her about this......"
Su Zhi just got up, but the voice of the little palace man sounded outside.
"Niangniang, His Royal Highness King Rui has come down."
Concubine Yuan left Su Zhi and went out towards the gate of the palace, she had only taken a few steps, and Li Kai, who was wearing a dark purple brocade robe, had already strode in from the outside and stepped forward to salute Concubine Yuan.
"The child has seen the mother."
Yuan Guifei stretched out her hand to help Li Kai, took his hand, looked up and down, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, why do I look at you today, I think you seem to have grown a lot taller!" ”
"Where?" Li Kai took Concubine Yuan's hand and walked in, and said softly: "The mother thinks that the child is a bamboo shoot in the spring, and it grows day by day. ”
"This kid, why do you compare yourself to such a thing!" Yuan Guifei frowned in displeasure.
Li Kai said with a smile: "This is not because my mother is looking forward to me growing taller every day. ”
"Speaking of which, it's not the mother's concubine!" Yuan Guifei pinched Li Kai's hand.
Li Kai screamed and said, "It's all children, don't you, the mother concubine spare the children." ”
The mother and son laughed and entered the inner hall, Su Zhi saluted Li Kai, took the hot tea offered by the small palace people, and brought it to Li Kai, "Your Highness, please use tea." ”
Li Kai bowed slightly and thanked Su Zhi.
Yuan Guifei looked at Li Kai with a smile, "Didn't you just enter the palace yesterday?" Why is it here again today? ”
The princes of the Eastern Xia Dynasty were crowned kings, and they generally had to move out of the palace and live in their own mansions.
Although Li Kai has not yet got married, the mansion has been given, because Yuan Guifei has her own plans, so he moved out of the palace early and lived in the Rui Palace. And because he doesn't live in one place, it is inconvenient for Li Kai to enter the palace often.
"Oh, yesterday's sister Rongyue went back to the house halfway, she originally asked the child to come and talk to the mother in person, but because the child had something to do yesterday, she didn't have time to explain to the mother, no, I came to say goodbye to the mother." Li Kai said.
Yesterday, Li Kai didn't come to resign when he left, Yuan Guifei knew, but she didn't expect Li Kai to come again for this matter, there was a smile between her eyebrows and eyes, she looked at Li Kai with a smile, and quipped: "I thought you had the news that your father was going to give you a marriage, and you came to ask me about the news!" ”
The look on Li Kai's face was stunned, and he looked at Yuan Guifei, "Father wants to marry the child?" ”
Concubine Yuan nodded and gave Su Zhi a look, and Su Zhi got up and sent all the palace people in the hall out. Concubine Yuan said to Li Kai slowly: "The mother concubine also got the news, and I don't know if it's true or not, you estimate it and listen to it first." ”
Li Kai nodded.
Concubine Yuan told Li Kai about Emperor Yongchang's intention to marry Qin Yurong for him, and at the end, she couldn't hide her joy and said: "How is it, are you happy?" ”
Li Kai pulled the corners of his mouth, provoked a shallow smile on his face, and asked, "Where did you hear this from the concubine?" ”
"It's from the Fengyi Palace." Yuan Guifei said.
Li Kaishang's smile faded a little, and he looked at Yuan Guifei with a puzzled expression, "It's from the Fengyi Palace, do you believe it, concubine?" ”
"The mother naturally doesn't believe it, but ......"
"Mother, you should die of this heart." Li Kai interrupted Concubine Yuan's words, "It is impossible for the father to point Miss Qin to the child. ”
"Why?" Yuan Guifei Yousi rounded her watery eyes, and said with an angry face: "Is it only Li Xi who is his son, and you are not!" ”
"Mother is cautious!" Li Kai looked at Yuan Guifei disapprovingly.
Yuan Guifei wrinkled her brows, although she was still unhappy, but she didn't speak again.
Li Kai looked back at Su Zhi, "Aunt Su, I have something to say to my mother and my concubine, please go to the door and help me watch it." ”
"Yes, lord."
Su Zhi retreated, covered the door of the temple with her light hands, and stood outside the door.
Only then did Li Kai look at Yuan Guifei, lowered his voice, and asked word by word: "Mother, do you want that position, or do you want a princess who you can handle?" ”
"Of course it'......" Yuan Guifei's voice sank, and she said in a voice of only two people: "It's that position." ”
Li Kai nodded, a slightly mocking smile appeared on his face, and said: "There are so many princes and marquis in Kyoto, why didn't my father choose someone else to marry, but pointed to the eldest lady and concubine in Jiangcheng, have you thought about it?" ”
"Of course, it's because Jiang Chenghou is the emperor's party, and he only obeys your father's orders." Yuan Guifei said.
The sneer between Li Kai's eyebrows deepened a little, the imperial party? The Manchu Dynasty Wenwu Emperor's Party is not only waiting for Jiangcheng! He raised his head and looked at Yuan Guifei with a smile in his eyes, "Mother may have forgotten that Jiangcheng Hou is not only the imperial party, but also has the 300,000 Northwest Army of the Eastern Xia Dynasty in his hands. ”
The look on Concubine Yuan's face suddenly froze.
Li Kai picked the corners of his mouth, sure enough, a woman is a woman, and she will always only look at the surface of the problem, and she doesn't know how to look at it at a deeper level.
"The fact that my father set this family for my brother shows that he never thought of setting up another prince."
"So what!" Between the delicate eyebrows and eyes of Yuan Guifei, a touch of ruthlessness flashed, and she gritted her teeth and said: "In this world, it has always been to support the bold and starve to death, if you don't rob it, you want people to send it to the door, how can there be such a good thing!" ”
Li Kai smiled.
Yes, if you want to grab it yourself, you can't grab it, you can grab it another story, but you can't do nothing, right? Wealth has always been sought in danger!
"Rob?" Li Kai lowered his eyes and said lightly: "How is the mother concubine going to rob, let the child set the daughter of the first assistant, is to rob?" Do you think that brothers kill each other, is this what my father would like to see? ”
"So what do you say?" Yuan Guifei said angrily: "Mother concubine is capable of this, and your uncles can't count on it, if you don't marry a family affair that can help you, how can you fight with Li Xi!" ”
Li Kai shook his head, he didn't blame Yuan Guifei for her shallow knowledge, after all, what the world of the mother concubine saw was always the sky above her head!
"Mother, if the father really intends to point out Yu Rong to the child, then Qin Ge's career will end here." Li Kai said softly: "Don't say it's the position of the first assistant, I'm afraid that even the position of the elder of the pavilion will have to be handed over!" ”
"Why?" Yuan Guifei was stunned and said: "If he wasn't even a pavilion elder, why would I still dig my heart and liver to seek this family business!" ”
"Because if the father has no intention of abolishing the prince, he will never give the child a chance to compete with the royal brother!" Li Kai said.
Yuan Guifei suddenly froze there, her lips were purse, and she couldn't say a word.
For a while, the hall was so quiet that it could be heard that the needles were falling.
Long.
Yuan Guifei seemed to have exhausted all her strength, leaned lazily in the chair behind her, and asked with sad eyes, "Then what should I do?" Could it be that he just watched Li Xi ...... him?"
"There's someone who might be able to fight for the kids." Li Kai interrupted Yuan Guifei's words and said.
"Who?" Yuan Guifei was beaten like chicken blood, and suddenly looked at Li Kai refreshed, urging: "Who is it?" Can anyone help you? ”
Li Kai smiled, and his mind flashed to the figure of the county lord's mansion that day that was born like a clear lotus.
"Lord Yongning, Rong Jin."
"She?!" Yuan Guifei was so startled that she didn't even forget to say anything, she just looked at Li Kai dumbfounded, and then muttered: "Kai'er, you are crazy, what can she help you?" ”
Li Kai shook his head and said softly: "Mother, have you heard of Yan Wufang, the princess of the Northern Qi Kingdom?" ”
"I heard that, what's wrong?" Yuan Guifei looked at Li Kai in a daze, "What does that princess of the protector have to do with Rong Jin?" ”
Li Kai picked the corners of his mouth and said lightly: "The children found out, the handmaidens around Rong Jin don't seem to be from Dongxia, and their behavior is very similar to that legendary princess who protects the country." The child boldly speculated that it was very likely that they were the ones who protected the princess! ”
"Even if they are the ones who protect the princess, what does this have to do with Rong Jin?" Yuan Guifei asked puzzled.
Li Kai smiled and raised his eyes to look at Yuan Guifei, "The current Emperor of Northern Qi Yan Zhengtian is the princess of the protectorate who holds the throne with one hand, if we can get in touch with the princess of the protector and talk to Yan Zhengtian, you ......"
Yuan Guifei looked at Li Kai who was full of bamboos in his chest, thinking about what he said, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Li Kai's idea was good! You must know that when the emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty died, Yan Zhengtian was just a little doll who only knew how to hold the nurse to find milk to eat, this princess who protected the country used bloody means to go to the Qing Dynasty and the imperial family, and it only took three years to send Yan Zhengtian to the throne steadily! Not only that, but she also took command in person as a woman, facing the first emperor who was ambitious at that time and wanted to take advantage of the instability of Emperor Yan Zhengtian's throne and annex the Northern Qi in one fell swoop!
"But......" Yuan Guifei looked at Li Kai hesitantly, "Can your father agree?" ”
"Promise or not, doesn't this matter depend on what we say and do?" Li Kai said lightly.
Yuan Guifei nodded, but still couldn't hide her unwillingness and said: "Hey, it's a pity that Yu Rong's child, the mother really likes her......"
Li Kai nodded, that sentence, in fact, I also liked him very much, but he didn't say it.
After a pause, Li Kai looked at Yuan Guifei, "Speaking of which, there is another thing, I'm afraid that the mother concubine hasn't heard of it yet, right?" ”
"What's the matter?" Yuan Guifei looked at Li Kai.
Li Kai smiled and said, "Yesterday, Rong Jin took people to wash the Chenwang Mansion with blood. ”
"What?" Yuan Guifei stood up violently in shock.
"Hey, didn't anyone in your palace tell you?" Li Kai asked strangely, the words fell, got up and helped Yuan Guifei to sit down again, and slowly explained: "Actually, it is too much to say that it is a bloodbath, but it is just to come to the door to seek justice, the Sixth Emperor Uncle moved with Rong Jin in a fit of anger, who knew that the two hundred guards of the palace were unable to bear Rong Jinhe, and the Sixth Emperor Uncle himself was poisoned." ”
Yuan Guifei blinked her big eyes and looked at Li Kai in a daze, the sentence came to her lips, which is the county lord, this is the Yaksha, she was stunned and swallowed back.
"Justice? What kind of justice? Yuan Guifei asked with a steady mind.
"It is said that Mrs. Qingping Hou came forward to testify that Rong Fanghua's loss of virginity that day, and it was designed by the Sixth Imperial Aunt." Li Kai said.
The corners of Yuan Guifei's lips provoked a sneering arc, and said angrily: "Your imperial grandfather always said that your sixth emperor uncle was smart when he was alive, and told me that the pigs were not as stupid as him, and he couldn't see through such a simple game." After the words fell, he looked at Li Kai and said, "If I guess correctly, it is estimated that your Sixth Emperor Uncle doesn't believe Mrs. Qingpinghou's words at all, right?" ”
Li Kai nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, he doesn't believe it at all, besides, if there is Qingping waiting to cover for the Sixth Emperor Aunt, he won't believe it." ”
Yuan Guifei nodded, and said sarcastically: "Also, if he believes it, how can he stuff Li Rongyue back into your Sixth Emperor's aunt's stomach, it's better not to believe it!" ”
After a pause, he frowned and said, "Your father must know about this, why is there no movement at all?" ”
Li Kai shook his head, "The child can't figure it out, I waited in the house for a long time, thinking that someone would definitely show this to my father in the early dynasty, and I also thought that I would find a suitable opportunity to come out and intercede for Rong Jin, but there was no news from the palace." ”
Yuan Guifei thought for a while and said, "Yesterday, your Sixth Imperial Aunt asked someone to send a letter in, asking me to stay in the palace for one night, but the girl ran back by herself, I think I should have got the news, right?" ”
"Yes." Li Kai said: "The child wanted to come and tell you at that time, but thinking that the matter was serious, it was important to inquire about the news first, so he followed out of the palace." ”
Yuan Guifei nodded, but said with a puzzled expression: "According to it, with your father's affection for the sixth child, he can't sit idly by, what ......is it?"
"Mother."
Su Zhi's voice sounded outside the door.
Yuan Guifei raised her head and said, "Come in." ”
Su Zhi walked in, walked up to Yuan Guifei, bent her knees and blessed, and said softly: "The emperor was furious in the south study before, saying that he would punish the county lord of Yongning, and later His Royal Highness the prince asked to see him, and after His Royal Highness the prince left, the emperor did not say anything about the county lord of Yongning. ”
Yuan Guifei and Li Kai looked at each other.
Su Zhi waited, but without waiting for Yuan Guifei's signal, she was blessed and quietly retreated again.
"Could it be that Li Xi asked to see your father and emperor because of Rong Jin's matter?" Yuan Guifei looked at Li Kai.
Li Kai couldn't find a smile on his face, he lowered his eyes, and the corners of his lips pursed into a straight line, "Maybe he also found out that Rong Jin was involved with the princess of the Northern Qi Protectorate." After a pause, he continued: "I heard before that the queen deliberately let him accept Rong Jin. ”
"Why do you have her leg for everything!" Concubine Yuan raised her hand and brushed the teacup on the small table on her side to the ground, and said angrily: "No, if Rong Jin is accepted by Li Xi again, we will really sit and wait for death, I would rather let her die, I will not fulfill Li Xi." ”
Li Kai nodded.
If Li Xi really wants to accept Rong Jin, then he can really only make Rong Jin a dead man!
"Don't be in a hurry to make a decision first," Li Kai said to Yuan Guifei: "Let's take a look at the situation first, and then talk about it, I plan to marry Rong Jin, don't talk to Aunt Liuhuang, there are not many people who support us, we can't ......"
"I understand, don't worry." Yuan Guifei took a deep breath and said, "I'm just worried, Li Xi ......"
"This concubine doesn't have to worry," Li Kai said: "If it's really like what we think, then as the concubine said, I'd rather die than let the imperial brother be like a tiger." ”
……
Chenwang's Mansion.
Wang Yuntong was dressed neatly, and was about to take Biyu into the palace to tell Emperor Yongchang about Rong Jin's bullying of Chen's palace, but he didn't want to, and the voice of the little maid sounded outside the door.
"Princess, the county lord's house asks to see Yanfu."
Yesterday, a jade beat Yanfu well, and repeatedly told her that the county lord couldn't make a little mistake, otherwise let alone her, even her father and mother would have to be unlucky. Now, Yanfu knelt down at this time to ask for a meeting, thinking that it should be the county lord who had something to do and needed to report to the princess.
Biyu raised her head and said, "Princess, the slave maid goes out to have a look." ”
Wang Yuntong nodded.
Jasper walked out, but after a while, she walked in with a pale face.
"What's wrong?" Wang Yuntong waved her hand to signal the little maid who was tidying up her clothes to step back and look at Yanfu with an ugly face, "What's wrong?" Why is your face so ugly? ”
"Princess, county lord she, she ......"
"What's wrong with the county lord?" As soon as Wang Yuntong heard that it was about Li Rongyue, even if he lost his composure, his eyes stared at Yanfu fiercely, and he said urgently: "Say, what's wrong with the county lord?" ”
Yanfu knelt on the ground with a "plop", and said like pouring beans into a bamboo tube, "The county lord didn't know where to find out about the residence of the county lord of Yongning, saying that he was going to seek justice from the county lord of Yongning, and asked her how a girl was so cruel, and said that he wanted the county lord of Yongning to hand over the antidote." ”
Wang Yuntong held his forehead, stumbled, and almost fell to the ground with his buttocks.
"Princess," Biyu quickly stepped forward, supported Wang Yuntong, who was unsteady in his steps, and shouted to Yanfu who was kneeling on the ground: "You are a dead man, why didn't you say it before, only come back and forth at this time." ”
"The county lord said it suddenly when he got up in the morning," Yan Fu said with trembling lips: "The slave still found an excuse to quietly come to deliver the letter, and I don't dare to delay it for a long time, otherwise the county lord will be suspicious." ”
Wang Yuntong waved his hand and said to the kneeling Yanfu: "You go back, drag the county lord, I have arranged it here, and you will follow the county lord out." ”
"Yes, Princess."
Yanfu stood up and was about to leave.
"Wait," Wang Yuntong suddenly shouted.
Yanfu's body stiffened, and she looked at Wang Yuntong tremblingly, "Princess......"
"You remember, follow the county lord out, be sure to watch the county lord closely, if there is an accident, I will peel your skin carefully!"
"Slave, slave maid wrote it down." Yanfu hurriedly said.
"Let's go down," Wang Yuntong waved his hand, "I'll let Biyu tell you when I turn around, what to do." ”
Yanfu bent her knees and retreated hurriedly.
As soon as she left, Biyu suddenly looked at Wang Yuntong with an anxious face, "Princess, what should I do?" In case the county lord mistakenly believes the rumors outside......"
"How can those foul words get into Rongyue's ears!" Wang Yuntong sank his eyebrows, a fierce color flashed between his eyes, and said to Biyu: "You go to sue Gu Wencheng, the county lord is out of the mansion, I don't want her to hear something that shouldn't be heard, what to do He should understand." ”
"Yes, Princess."
Jasper hurriedly retreated.
Wang Yuntong looked at the back of Biyu leaving in a hurry, and only felt as if the whole person had been run over by a car, and his whole body was full of indescribable soreness.
"Go down, I want to be quiet."
"Yes, Princess."
The mermaids in the house rushed out.
Soon, she was the only one left in the huge room.
The sunlight shone on the glazed tiles raised high on the opposite side, refracting a dazzling and dazzling red light, in that red light, Wang Yuntong's straight back slowly fell down, she squinted her eyes, facing the red light, but in her mind was the scene of the night in the palace before the incident thirteen years ago.
The red lantern raised high in the air dazzled her eyes like this. At that time, she was full of joy for the future, but at this moment, she had a deep sense of powerlessness. It seemed that a qiē was like sand tightly clutched in the palm of her hand, and the more she tried to clench it, the more she couldn't hold it tightly, and she could only watch them slowly drain from her hand.
No, no!
What she got with all her painstaking efforts, she couldn't let go even if she died!
Wang Yuntong straightened his waist, and was about to call the little maid to come in and ask her to go and see how Jasper was doing, but no, Jasper's voice sounded in her ears.
"Princess, the slave is back."
"Come on in." Wang Yuntong said urgently.
Biyu picked up her skirt and walked in, and before she had time to salute, she hurriedly stepped forward and said to Wang Yuntong: "Princess, Lord Gu said that he knew, and he will arrange it, so that you can rest assured that the county lord will never hear what he shouldn't hear." ”
Gu Wencheng is doing things, and Wang Yuntong is still relieved.
However, because the matter involved Li Rongyue, she didn't dare to be careless at all, so she looked at Biyu and asked, "Have you arranged for someone to follow the county lord?" ”
"It's arranged." Biyu said: "It was the leader of Rui who personally led people to follow. ”
Wang Yuntong nodded, looked up at the sky outside, and said to Biyu: "You go and talk to Yanfu, otherwise it will drag on for a long time, I'm afraid that Rongyue will be suspicious, this kid is sometimes smart and I can't do anything about her." ”
"Yes, Princess."
Jasper hurried out again.
This time, Wang Yuntong didn't wait long, and after about a quarter of an hour, Biyu walked back.
"Princess, the slave has already told Yanfu, and Yanfu also said that she will follow the county lord every step of the way."
Wang Yuntong nodded, looked back at the hourglass in the room, and said to Biyu: "Let's go, it's time for us to enter the palace." ”
"Yes, Princess."
The master and servant took the carriage and escorted all the way to the palace.
On the other hand, Li Rongyue, the county lord of Shuyi, also left from the side gate of the palace with Yanfu and two other little maids, all the way to the West Market
