Chapter 157: The Mysterious Letterhead
Zhao Shuchang glared at Wu Xiaorou, listening to her accusing him of incompetence word by word, the green tendons on his forehead throbbed, and the annoyance and anxiety in his chest all turned into anger, raised his hand and slapped her in the face, gritted his teeth and said: "You don't have to threaten me, if something happens to Qingshui, I will be the first to let you go to the funeral!"
Wu Xiaorou was knocked to the ground, her chattering mouth finally stopped, listening to Zhao Shuchang's cold words, looking at his scarlet eyes, she was angry and afraid, and her fingers couldn't help but tremble.
Zhao Shuchang glared at Wu Xiaorou and shouted, "Come on, take Madam out!"
The little guy outside the door heard Zhao Shuchang's explosive drink, and didn't dare to delay, so he immediately came in and "invited" Wu Xiaorou out.
Wu Xiaorou was restrained by the little girl's imageless arms, so angry that she couldn't stop shouting and scolding, but she was unable to break away from the little girl's bronze hands and iron arms, and was dragged all the way to the Slender Pavilion, causing a group of maids to whisper.
In a hidden tavern in Beijing, Gu Lingyu held a glass of wine and said with a dignified smile: "Cousin can rest assured now." ”
King Qu drank a lot of wine, his face was drunk, but his eyes were still bright, and he smiled when he heard the words: "Jin Rui has a few catties and a few taels, this king knows, it is not a problem at all, some time ago his rise was just because this king was not in the capital." ”
Gu Lingyu listened to King Qu's boasting, and echoed with a smile: "Compared with the provinces in Beijing, naturally my cousin is better, and looking at the emperor's love for my cousin, I know that you are the only one in the position of unification." ”
I have to say that Gu Lingyu's words reached the heart of King Qu, and he was even happier at the moment.
Stagger to stand up, drink a glass of wine, pat Gu Lingyu on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "When this king ascends to the throne, he will definitely give you high-ranking officials, glory and wealth." ”
Gu Lingyu got up and said with a smile: "There is no need to be so alienated between my cousin and me. ”
"It's just that you're always addicted to the Wu Mansion now... , or put away the heart of playfulness as soon as possible, and enter the court to make a move is what a man should do. King Qu was quite distressed when he mentioned this matter, and sincerely persuaded Gu Lingyu that he was good at everything, but he was too persistent in women, how could he become a big deal in the long run?
Gu Lingyu had heard the words of King Qu this teaching, if not a hundred times, but also ninety times, laughed and said the old saying, "Cousin, don't worry, I have my own measure." ”
King Qu shook his head, feeling helpless at his unintentional words.
Gu Lingyu didn't care about King Qu's thoughts, picked up the wine jug and poured a glass of wine for each of them, and asked with a smile: "Now the time is right for the court, I don't know what my cousin plans to do next?"
"Hmph, naturally, it is to kill all the troubles forever!" said King Qu, and his face was warm and elegant.
Even if Jin Rui is not a problem, it can be regarded as a thorn in the eye, so it is better to take this opportunity to get rid of it.
Gu Lingyu looked at King Qu's expression with deep eyes, took a sip of the wine glass, and hid the smile on the corner of his mouth.
Qi Shang Shufu
"Master, the little one has been visiting for a day today, and he has not found anyone who was familiar with the second lady before entering the house. Standing in the study with Lao Qin, he looked at Qi Yeru sitting behind the desk, and whispered.
Qi Yeru frowned and asked puzzledly: "Why didn't you find it?"
Lao Qin bowed down and said: "The second young lady has not lived in the broken temple in the north of the city for a long time, and she disdains to communicate with the poor people living in it, so although everyone knows her, they are not familiar with her. ”
Could it be that Qi Yu's "back hand" is nothing but a means to intimidate him? When Qi Yeru thought of this, the anger in her heart turned into murderous intent, and she dared to deceive the imperial court officials as a fugitive!
It's just that even though he had the heart to kill Qi Yu immediately and quickly, he still didn't dare to be reckless when he thought of the consequences of this matter.
"Check it carefully, in addition to the people in the broken temple, other people in the mansion who had other dealings with the second lady in the past should also be investigated. ”
Lao Qin nodded in agreement when he heard this, secretly thinking why Qi Yeru wanted to investigate Qi Yu? Could it be that this second lady has something to hide?
"By the way, you go to Jingzhao Yin's Mansion to find out why the female fugitive committed the crime and how she escaped from prison. "She is a woman, how can she escape the iron walls of Jingzhao Yin Mansion? Maybe someone is helping, so is this person who helps her is her "back hand"?
Lao Qin bowed his head and agreed, a little confused about what Qi Yeru ordered, he was still talking about the second young lady just now, why is he talking about the female prisoner who escaped from Jingzhao Yin Mansion now?
Qi Yeru looked at Lao Qin and said in a low voice: "What I told you to keep it secret and be fast." ”
"Yes, little one understands. Lao Qin hurriedly agreed.
Qi Yeru waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can stand down." ”
Lao Qin promised in his mouth, but his feet didn't move, thinking about the rumors he heard outside today, and he hesitated in his heart whether to say it.
Qi Yeru looked at him and frowned: "If you have anything to say, what are you doing?"
"Yes, yes. Lao Qin bowed down and agreed, organized the language, took a few steps closer to the desk, and said in a low voice: "Master, today I heard a rumor outside, I don't know if it's true or not." ”
Qi Yeru had a lot of trivial matters in his heart, rubbed his forehead, and said impatiently: "What's the matter?"
Lao Qin saw that Qi Yeru was impatient, and secretly said that there should be many things, but the matter has come to this point, and he can't help but say it, so he said carefully: "I heard that Zhao Shuchang had a wife before marrying Wu Xiaorou and gave birth to a son, and now this son is in Kyoto." ”
Qi Yeru was stunned, Huo Ran got up, and said hurriedly: "What you said is true?"
Lao Qin nodded and said, "The little one doesn't dare to deceive the master." ”
"Zhao Shuchang, Zhao Shuchang!" Qi Yeru stroked his palms and laughed, and said hatefully: "Since Zhao Qingshui has entered the heavenly prison, there is no need to keep this Zhongyong Marquis Mansion!"
I want your whole house to repay the shame of the past!
At the same time, Qi Yu was also walking in the boudoir, her brows furrowed deeply, her hands wrenched together, and she kept muttering to herself.
She knew that although Qi Yeru had agreed to her conditions for the time being, she would definitely investigate secretly, so she had to change the status quo before he investigated the facts.
It's just that how can she find out the whereabouts of His Royal Highness King Jin? She has no foundation in the mansion, and those subordinates are also superficially obedient and secretly ridiculed, who can obey her assignment?
After going through the people in the mansion in my mind, I still haven't found a suitable candidate, and I can't help but be anxious.
Thinking of this, Qi Yu made a decision in his heart, and stared at the candlelight with a pair of eyes, although the probability of seeing King Jin outside the mansion gate is not great, but it is better than sitting still!
Now that she has climbed to this position, no one is allowed to pull her down again!
Mohe Garden
It was late at night, Peng Mo hadn't slept yet, holding Liuli in his arms, sitting on the chaise longue couch and looking at a corner in a daze, his fingers caressing Liuli's back for a while.
Liuying walked in and saw Peng Mo, frowned, and said, "Master, you rest, and when the dream comes back, I will wake you up." ”
Peng Mo glanced up at her and said with a faint smile: "No, I'm not tired." She had to figure out why the emperor suddenly let Jin Roujia come to spy on her, otherwise she wouldn't be able to sleep even if she was lying in bed.
After these days of getting along, Liuying knew Peng Mo's temper, so she stopped persuading and cut the candle flowers to make the candle burn brighter.
After waiting for about half an hour, Youmeng came back, and when she saw Peng Mo who was still waiting, she lowered her head and apologized: "The subordinates are incompetent, so the master has been waiting for a long time." ”
Peng Mo got up and poured a cup of tea for Youmeng, and said with a smile: "I didn't wait long, it's you who have worked hard, sit down and rest." "The early autumn nights are still very cool.
Youmeng took the tea, held it in the palm of his hand, the warm feeling dispelled the coldness on his body, and said, "My subordinates are not tired, thank you for your concern." ”
Knowing that Peng Mo had waited for a long time, he did not delay, and said: "After the investigation of his subordinates, several princes have not moved, it is the concubine in the palace, she asked to see the emperor today, and she intended to ask the emperor not to implicate the king of Jin because of the matter of Concubine Yang, but somehow, she suddenly proposed to the emperor, please marry the master to the king of Jin." ”
Thinking of the various behaviors of this mother-in-law in her previous life, Peng Mo was cold in her heart and sneered: "What did the emperor say?"
The emperor has always been unkind to Jin Rui, after the matter of the shop and Yang Hua, this disappointment has become disgust, Concubine Shu has this proposal, which must make the emperor even more angry, but he is also deeply jealous, worried that the general's mansion intends to marry the king of Jin, so there is a phoenix hairpin warning!
Youmeng said: "The emperor reprimanded Concubine Shu and closed her ground. ”
Peng Mo hooked his lips and chuckled when he heard this. "Good. The soft voice was cool.
Those who don't know anything should be closed to meditate!
On the second morning of the morning dynasty, King Ning yawned and got into the palanquin that was ready to go to the early dynasty, and just sat down and saw a letter on his side, and in an instant he was sleepy, opened the sedan curtain, and asked loudly: "Who is close to the king's palanquin!"
Saying that, his eyes were patrolling several people, the person who carried the sedan chair was a reliable person arranged by the mother's concubine, and the two little maids were confidants who had been with him for many years.
The six people looked at King Ning in puzzlement, and the little guard led him forward and said, "Your Highness, no one is close to Your Highness's palanquin, has Your Highness lost something?"
King Ning looked at it for a while and didn't see the clue, put down the sedan curtain, and said, "It's okay, let's go." ”
The six people looked at each other, not knowing what King Ning meant, but the time of the early dynasty was approaching, so they didn't ask much, and hurriedly lifted the sedan chair and left.
It was still early, the sedan curtains were covered, the sedan chair was not very bright, King Ning breathed lightly, and looked at the envelope on his side fixedly.
It's this letter again!
After looking at it for a while, he reached out and took the letterhead, quickly opened it, and there were a few big words written on the ordinary letterhead: Helping King Jin above the court!
King Ning's eyes narrowed, who is this messenger? He has been sending letters at intervals for all these years, but he has not shown up.
At first he was very disdainful of this letter, and he was afraid that someone would set a trap to lure him to jump, but after a long time, he did not find the conspiracy, and occasionally did what was written in the letter, and was actually appreciated by his father, and then he did several things according to the letter, and then entered the court smoothly.
