Kang Yeon was a little surprised. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

When she first heard the news of the queen's death, she felt sorry for her.

Unexpectedly, the queen mother did not die because of dystocia, but was taken by caesarean section alive.

It's just too much to accept.

Qi Chenyu's trick is indeed no different from a beast.

After half an hour, Duchess Pingzhang's mood gradually calmed down.

"Makes you laugh." She covered her eyes with a handkerchief and said to Kang Yeon.

Kang Yan shook her head, "Although I know that it is useless to say anything, I still have to ask Mrs. to take care of herself, I believe that the queen mother is in the spirit of heaven, and I don't want to see Mrs. so sad for her." ”

Duchess Pingzhang eased her emotions before she spoke: "Actually, I also know that at that time, Sister Ci'er was indeed more than lucky, but he was the emperor, and he wanted to leave an heir, I knew it, but he was also too anxious, so that my Sister Ci'er would suffer alive and suffer before leaving." ”

"If he wasn't weak-hearted, how could he be so anxious to seal my Li family, phew," Duchess Pingzhang spat on the ground, "What about our family's rare dukedom?" This was bought in exchange for my sister's life. ”

Duchess Pingzhang's face was unconcealed hatred and cold eyes, "I want to exchange the title of a grandfather for our sister's life, and in exchange for our Li family's life for him, bah, he also deserves it." ”

Kang Yeon didn't answer.

She pondered the meaning of Duchess Pingzhang's words.

Duchess Pingzhang didn't speak.

She cried bitterly just now, venting the pain that had been suppressed in her heart for days, she felt really tired at this time, if she didn't have something to talk to Kang Yeon, she wouldn't be able to support it.

The room fell silent for a while.

After about a cup of tea, Kang Yan spoke first to break the silence, "Madame took the Li family out of the city, it seems that the Li family will not stand up and fight for Qi Chenyu." ”

Not a question, but the tone of the statement.

Duchess Pingzhang didn't hide it either, nodding.

"Then with all due respect, in the war between King An and Qi Chenyu, what is Pingzhanggong's position?"

Kang Yan wanted to know if the Li family just didn't want to protect Qi Chenyu and chose neutrality, or if it would be on Qi Chenjing's side now.

They hate Qi Chenyu, and they may not necessarily help Qi Chenjing deal with Qi Chenyu.

Yes, Kang Yan wants to try to see if she can convince the Li family to be on their side now.

Before she knew why Duchess Pingzhang would help her, Kang Yan didn't have this kind of thought.

After knowing the real cause of the queen's death, she moved this thought.

The enemy of the enemy is the friend, which is what Jordan used to talk about.

She wanted to try to see if she could convince Duchess Pingzhang, if she could convince the Jijia family to be on their side now, then Qi Chenjing, who was trapped in the palace, would be much easier.

The battle in the capital will not drag on for long.

Duchess Pingzhang pursed her lips and did not open her mouth to answer Kang Yan's question.

Kang Yan didn't hope that she could directly say that now they are all on Qi Chenjing's side, she sorted out her thoughts and said: "Pingzhang Gong has been outside the city, and several sons of the Li family did not participate in yesterday's court meeting because of the queen's funeral, I'm afraid I don't know exactly what happened at yesterday's court meeting." ”

"I want to hear about it." Duchess Pingzhang said.

"It's not a secret, Qi Chenyu is not the blood of the first emperor, but the queen mother brought the maid who was pregnant with the posthumous son of the third young master of the Hou family of Zhenning into the palace, confusing the bloodline of the royal family." Kang Yan roughly told Qi Chenyu's life experience.

“……… At yesterday's court meeting, it was because King An broke this matter that he became angry and tried to kill King An and all the ministers who knew the secret in the palace, and the palace was in chaos. ”

Duchess Pingzhang was stunned.

The Li family has its own sources, the palace is in chaos, King An and Qi Chenyu are fighting, she knows all this news, and she has long been mentally prepared in her heart.

After all, there was a poisonous flower at the queen's funeral, and the lord told her that this was Qi Chenyu going to deal with King An.

She still secretly hated Qi Chenyu at that time, and she didn't even let go of the opportunity for Sister Ci'er to enter the earth.

At that time, the old man guessed that there would inevitably be a battle between King An and Qi Chenyu, and it was at that time that the old man didn't want to fight for Qi Chenyu.

Therefore, a few years ago, when Qi Chenyu secretly transferred troops into Beijing, the master found a reason to let Qi Chenyu transfer the soldiers and horses of the western camp in Beijing.

He has been stationed outside the city, and told her that if she finds out that something is wrong, she will immediately find a way to take the Li family out of the city.

Pingzhang Gong has been stationed outside the city, and it will be easier for her to get out of the city.

It's just that in her and Pingzhanggong's hearts, they have always thought that the war between Qi Chenjing and Qi Chenyu is because of the competition for the throne and ambition, but they never thought that Qi Chenyu's life experience was mixed in the middle.

He was not of the blood of the previous emperor, which meant that he was not qualified to sit in that position at all.

Duchess Pingzhang's heart suddenly became very complicated.

On the one hand, she hated Qi Chenyu, and on the other hand, she felt that such a person had killed her sister, and she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart.

Kang Yan waited for her to digest the news before continuing: "Many people may think that Ah Jing is a rebel and is fighting for the throne, but in the hearts of our couple, we know that he is not, he is to maintain the orthodoxy of the Great Liang Qi clan, he doesn't want the hard work of Emperor Taizu and his ancestors to fall into the hands of people with foreign surnames, and Zongzheng and many clans also know about this matter." ”

Speaking of this, she looked at Duchess Pingzhang fixedly, "I hope the Li family can help Ah Jing." ”

Duchess Pingzhang didn't expect her to ask directly, and was slightly stunned.

She would help Kang Yan and really wanted to talk to Kang Yan about things, but she didn't expect to hear about Qi Chenyu's life experience, and it was Kang Yan who first proposed it in the hope that the Li family would help, and it was made in the form of a request.

She could see that Kang Yeon's attitude was very sincere.

Duchess Pingzhang fell silent, she just wanted to negotiate a deal with Kang Yeon.

Kang Yan saw that Duchess Pingzhang didn't speak, she thought for a while, and said: "I remember Madame's love for saving me today, and I also promised Madame that if A-Jing can successfully take the palace, I will personally hand over the princess from the queen's mother to Madame." ”

Duchess Pingzhang's eyes lit up.

Kang Yeon actually guessed what was in her heart.

She will save Kang Yeon, just to negotiate a deal with Kang Yeon.

Without the 30,000 soldiers and horses of Pingzhang Gong and Jingdong Battalion, Qi Chenjing has a great chance of winning, and Duchess Pingzhang only hopes that after the war is over, Kang Yan can read her about helping her today and hand over the child to her.

It was the flesh that fell from Sister Ci'er's body, the only bone and blood that Sister Ci'er left in this world, and she couldn't ignore it.

"Regardless of whether the Li family helps or not, my words today will count." Kang Yeon solemnly promised.

Just now she saw that Duchess Pingzhang didn't mention the Li family, and kept mentioning her own hatred for Qi Chenyu, and her words revealed that Duchess Pingzhang just wanted to remain neutral and didn't help anyone, so she guessed that Duchess Pingzhang should have other thoughts to help her.

She has been mentioning the queen mother, and the only thing that can make her worry is the little princess born to the queen mother in the palace.

That's why Kang Yeon promised her.

Looking at Duchess Pingzhang's eyes, Kang Yan knew that she had guessed correctly.

"It's just, madam," Kang Yan smiled bitterly, "the little princess is still young after all, and the palace is in chaos now, and I don't know if anyone can take care of the little princess, if there is no one to take care of the little princess in a panic, I'm afraid it will .........."

This is indeed a problem, Duchess Pingzhang's face also showed a trace of worry, and then she looked at Kang Yan vigilantly, "Are you scaring me?" ”

Kang Yan shook her head and said sincerely: "I just told the truth, I didn't mean to scare Madame, Madame must know that what I said was not threatening." ”

Duchess Pingzhang was silent, she didn't have this kind of worry, after all, it was a child who had just been born for ten days, and her life was very fragile.

Kang Yan continued to beg her, "I really hope that Pingzhang Gong can stand up and help Ah Jing, if there is Pingzhang Gong's 30,000 soldiers and horses to help, we can also end this war as soon as possible, and Madame can also meet the little princess as soon as possible." ”

Duchess Pingzhang's face showed a hint of hesitation.

Kang Yeon knew her heart was starting to struggle.

After a pause, Kang Yan continued from a different angle: "What's more, in the current situation, it may be difficult for Pingzhang Gong to remain neutral, Madame has to think about the future of the Li family's descendants, right?" Not to mention the future, as far as the sons of the Li family are concerned, can you bear to let them only be ordinary commoners in the future, working hard for life every day? ”

"Or is it," Kang Yan looked at Duchess Pingzhang hesitantly, "does the Li family have other ideas?" ”

Duchess Pingzhang's face changed greatly, her lips moved, and she smiled bitterly, "Why should the princess test me like this, if the Li family had other ideas, you wouldn't be here now." ”

Kang Yeon breathed a sigh of relief.

Last night, Master Chen Si once said that he was afraid that some people would have different intentions at this time, Pingzhang Gong Li Wen had 30,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, if he didn't help anyone at this time, and the army was reversed, it would only make Qi Chenjing suffer from the enemy on his back, and the capital would be even more chaotic.

Fortunately, looking at the expression of Duchess Pingzhang, the Li family should not have this kind of thought.

Duchess Pingzhang fell silent.

Kang Yeon said to her heart.

In the current situation, the Li family really can't maintain neutrality.

If Qi Chenjing wins, it's okay, for the Li family, who maintains neutrality, at most he has taken off his official position and no longer uses the Li family.

The Li family has since become ordinary people.

But if Qi Chenyu wins, the Li family's failure to help him will become a big crime, and the Li family is estimated to die.

Whatever it is, it's not what they wanted.

They don't want to die, but they can become ordinary people, running around for a living every day, thinking of her three sons who have been studying and practicing martial arts since they were children, crawling in the barracks, and thinking of their grandsons who are now reading and learning calligraphy, Duchess Pingzhang's heart is very uncomfortable.

In this case, neutrality is a joke.

Unless their Li family has other thoughts, such as establishing themselves as kings?

Duchess Pingzhang's heart trembled.

She knew that her husband had never had such a mind, even herself, and she had never thought about it.

What's more, the Li family only has 30,000 soldiers and horses, and raising troops is tantamount to looking for death.

Duchess Pingzhang's heart struggled for a short time.

Kang Yeon has already made the situation very clear.

She looked up at Kang Yan and said, "I will find a way to meet our master as soon as possible and persuade him to help King An." ”

Kang Yeon's eyes lit up and she was overjoyed.

"I have one more condition, though." Duchess Pingzhang changed the topic.

"What conditions, Madame said."

Duchess Pingzhang thought for a while before she spoke: "If King An ascends the throne as emperor, I don't care what Qi Chenyu does, but my sister Ci, she wants to retain her honor after death, please King An posthumously seal her, and the child left by Sister Ci must also have a title." ”

Since ancient times, if Qi Chenjing really ascended the throne as the emperor, then Qi Chenyu and his wives and concubines would definitely be convicted and the people he left behind would be cleaned up.

According to the usual practice, Qi Chenyu will definitely die, and his wives and concubines and children will generally lose all their titles, be demoted to sinners, and be imprisoned for life.

Those who have died and been buried have also withdrawn their titles and moved out of the imperial tomb.

I heard that after an emperor ascended the throne, he killed all the wives and concubines left by his brother, and those who had died also dug up their graves and dried their bodies, which was very cruel.

Duchess Pingzhang didn't want her sister to be at peace after her death.

There is also her child, this child's identity is embarrassing, his biological father is an unorthodox emperor, and his biological mother has died again.

Even if she protects her, she can't protect her for a lifetime.

She asked Kang Yan to promise to give that child a title, so that she would be beautiful and rich for the rest of her life.

These two conditions are not difficult, Kang Yan thought about it and agreed, "I should come down on behalf of King An, if everything really goes well, the queen mother will still have her mourning, but it may not be the identity of the first queen mother, this must not be the lady will not care, right?" ”

If Qi Chenjing ascends the throne as the emperor, Qi Chenyu's life experience will definitely be announced to the world, which will also be one of the crimes of the Queen Mother.

Qi Chenyu is not a person who is qualified to sit on the throne, and Sister Ci'er's identity as the queen is even more embarrassing.

What's more, in the heart of Duchess Pingzhang, she didn't want Sister Ci'er to have a relationship with Qi Chenyu after her death.

She nodded, indicating that she didn't care.

"And the child left by the queen's mother, I also promised Madame that I would give her a title, treat her well, and not scruple about her because of her father." Kang Yan not only promised to give her a title, but also promised to treat her well.

With Qi Chenjing and Kang Yan protecting him, even if he is no longer there in the future, that child's life will be worry-free.

Duchess Pingzhang was relieved.

"In this case, I will take you to the master as soon as possible." Duchess Pingzhang may make a promise.

Kang Yan also put her mind at ease, both of them solved a matter of their hearts, and their mood relaxed, Kang Yan couldn't help but say: "Madame's love for her daughter is touching, but why does Madame only mention conditions for the queen mother, not for a few sons?" ”

Duchess Pingzhang tugged at the corners of her mouth, "Men's merits have their own to earn, as long as they have real skills, they can't earn anything, not to mention, I believe that King An is a person who will be rewarded for his merits, and I don't need to put forward conditions." ”

Well, Kang Yeon was speechless.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and the newly formed alliance had a little tacit understanding. (To be continued.) )
