Chapter 258: A Man's Jealousy
Siyan and King Wu of Nanyan Ming went out of the palace together, and the three of them said goodbye outside the palace gate and got into the carriage.
Back at the post station, Siyan did not rest there, but took out the clothes in the wardrobe, and after disguise, she came to the Chengenhou Mansion, looking at Wei Yingran sitting alone under the moon in the courtyard, the smile on the corner of her mouth mocked and ridiculed, unfolded the folding fan in her hand, and asked with a smile: "What is the prince thinking?"
Wei Yingran listened to this delicate and gentle voice, turned his head to look, and when he saw Siyan in men's clothes, his brows furrowed slightly, and he reprimanded: "It's an eventful time, there is nothing important, the county lord doesn't have to come again!"
Since Ping'an's disappearance, his yard is no longer safe, under the cover of the night, I don't know how many people are hiding in the dark to monitor him, if someone finds out about his dealings with Siyan, I am afraid that the secret of many years can no longer be hidden.
Siyan didn't care about Wei Yingran's attitude, and smiled to herself: "The little girl just came back from the palace banquet, and the prince doesn't want to hear what happened?"
Wei Yingran got up and went back to the room, and when he heard this, he didn't look back and said, "Stand down." β
Siyan looked at Wei Yingran's back and sneered, "What about Peng Mo's matter?
Wei Yingran, who had already stepped on the steps, suddenly stopped, turned to look at Siyan, her watery eyes gradually sharpened, the corners of her lips opened slightly, and she said coldly: "The county lord should remember the purpose of this trip, instead of setting his eyes on her!"
Wei Yingran clearly knew that Siyan was aggressive and ruthless, if she took Peng Mo as her prey, then Peng Mo would have a series of troubles.
And now, Peng Mo is still his fiancΓ©e, and he should defend it in all respects.
Siyan lowered her eyes and smiled, and said, "What the little girl is planning is going smoothly, and the prince doesn't have to worry about it." Saying that, he smiled again, raised his lips and said: "However, Siyan will definitely keep in mind the teachings of the prince. β
Wei Yingran heard the inadequacy in Siyan's words, squinted his eyes, walked down the steps, crossed to her, looked at her and said in a low voice: "This son will say it again, my affairs will be handled by me, you don't need to interfere, understand!" The last three words carried the coercion of the superior.
"Deal with it?" Si Yan looked at the person in front of her, laughed at his warning, and said, "Dare to ask the prince how to deal with it?"
For the sake of Peng Mo, Wei Yingran gave up the top secret guards he had cultivated for many years, and discarded the peace he regarded as a confidant, and now he still ridiculously said that he wanted to "deal with it"?
Hmph! If you continue to "deal with" it like this, I'm afraid that Wucheng Kingdom will be lost!
"When will it be your turn to meddle in my affairs!" Wei Yingran's tone became cold.
Although Siyan scoffed at Wei Yingran's attitude, she didn't show it on her face, but said sincerely: "If the prince really has a way, the little girl naturally doesn't have to bother, it's just that Peng Mo humiliated the prince so much, but the prince was indifferent, the little girl thinks that the son has long been lost by the demon girl, and can't clearly see the enemy and me, so she will repeatedly lose her troops and lose her generals, this disadvantage, how can the little girl not ask?"
Wei Yingran ignored the disrespect in her words, frowned and asked, "Humiliation, what do you mean by this?"
He didn't tell Siyan a word about all kinds of things with Peng Mo, but at this time she said this, didn't something happen at the palace banquet?
Siyan shook her head lightly and said sadly: "Today's palace banquet, Peng Mo and I are neighbors, during the banquet, she blatantly flirted with King Chen, how can this frivolous style be worthy of you, the son of Qingfeng Jiyue, and how can she ever take your marriage to heart?"
Wei Yingran listened to the names of Peng Mo and Jin Xiuchen, and there was an indescribable bitterness in his throat, and he opened his mouth but couldn't say a word of rebuttal.
Siyan observed Wei Yingran's expression, and took the opportunity to add another fire: "Could it be that after experiencing the secret guard and peace, the prince thinks that Peng Mo is really willing to marry you? The person she has always admired is only King Chen!"
After she knew about Jin Xiuchen and Peng Mo against Wei Yingran, she asserted that there was no innocence between the two of them, and at this time she said the suspicion in her heart, looking at Wei Yingran's expression, she guessed correctly!
Also, how could Jin Xiuchen miss Peng Mo's flower when he was famous.
Siyan's sentence by sentence made the only trace of warmth for Peng Mo in Wei Yingran's heart disappear, and a soft beating heart poured into an unconcealable coldness.
Siyan was very satisfied with Wei Yingran's eyes at this time, cold and full of wildness.
Hmph, it is said that women's jealousy is terrible, but once the jealousy in a man's heart is ignited, its power is by no means comparable to that of women!
And the demon who provoked the bottom of other people's hearts, no one did it better than Si Yan, no, it only took a few words to let the gentle and jade-like son survive the frost!
The queen came to the Qinzheng Hall from the side hall, the father and son of the Gu family had already left, she looked at the emperor who was a little tired on the dragon chair, frowned and said: "Your Majesty, since you have handed over King Zhe to the concubines to raise, the concubines will fulfill their responsibilities as mothers, this time someone at this palace banquet actually wanted to poison the child, so arrogant and bold is simply shocking the government and the opposition, the concubines ask the emperor to find out the real culprit, and give the Zhewang justice!"
The emperor sighed, stepped off the dragon chair, came to the queen's side, and comforted: "The queen can rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter impartially and not let Zhe'er be wronged." β
On the carriage of the Peng family, Zhou hugged the sleepy little Peng Li, frowned and whispered: "You say, is the person who poisoned the person really the king of Qu?"
Peng Mo chuckled and said vaguely: "It should be true." β
Zhou was shocked by King Qu's ruthlessness: "That... What kind of punishment will the king of Qu receive, will he be sentenced to death?"
Poisoning the prince is a big crime, and it is to punish the nine clans, but if the murderer himself is the prince, the punishment of the nine clans will naturally not be used, and the Gu family will intervene, how will the emperor make an order? Will he be sentenced because of the identity of the king of Qu?
"Punishment?" happened at the reception banquet of the envoys, the guests were full, and they couldn't do it if they wanted to whitewash the peace, the emperor was biased, and he also had to consider the public opinion of other countries and the eyes of the courtiers, so he ordered the king of Qu to be imprisoned in the heavenly prison to show the clarity of the country.
As for the punishment... Once the matter is really done by King Qu, then he will live up to the emperor's years of cultivation, such a character, how dare the emperor hand over the throne to him, and that official dares to assist such a new monarch!
At that time, a prince who was disgusted by the emperor and courtiers was not surprised by what kind of punishment!
In the flower hall of Gu Mansion, Gu Qian said anxiously: "Father, how can this be good? Then our Gu family's years of hard work will be in vain!"
"It's really greedy, and it is delusional to kill two birds with one stone, and get rid of King Ning and King Zhe at the same time.... Gu Xiang's voice was full of heavy tiredness, and before he finished speaking, he sighed, closed his eyes for a moment, and then opened his eyes, his vicissitudes of life were dyed with anger, and he raised his hand to smash the already cold cup in his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Confused!"
I told him a long time ago that the affairs of officialdom must not be reckless, he is good, he actually did such a bad thing privately, and now he is burned, but how can it end?
Gu Lingyu looked at his grandfather and father with a sad look with a sad face, sneered silently, and walked out of the flower hall with his sleeves brushed.
Chenwang's Mansion
After Jin Xiuchen returned from the palace banquet, he summoned Qianmian and ordered: "You go and burn down the post house of the envoys of the Southern Yan Kingdom!" Those two people who don't know whether they are alive or dead dare to covet his Mo'er, it's just damned!
"Uh... "Thousand-faced, did he hear him right? His Highness ordered him to burn down the post house of the Nanyan Mission?
Jin Xiuchen put down the teacup, raised his eyebrows and said, "What are you doing standing?"
Qianmian coughed lightly, and hurriedly said: "Your Highness, your subordinates are going here!" After speaking, he didn't dare to slack off, turned around and left.
Outside the door of Peng's house, Peng Mo and Zhou got out of the carriage in turn, and little Peng Li was already asleep, so Ru Min took it and went back to the courtyard first.
"Master, you're back!" greeted Youmeng.
"Yes. Peng Mo nodded, and went to the Lotus Garden with the Zhou family to ask for peace.
Youmeng followed Peng Mo's side and replied in a low voice: "Master, after you entered the palace today, Zhao Wu and Aunt Zhao came to the door, and Madame has now vacated Mu Zeyuan for the two of them to live in. β
Peng Mo stopped in surprise, Zhao Wu's Aunt Zhao, isn't it Wu Xiaorou and Zhao Qingying? Before Peng Mo could ask, he heard the Zhou family beside him twist his eyebrows and say, "What are you talking about is that Zhao Wu's family is the one from the former Zhongyong Marquis Mansion?"
Yumeng nodded, "It's that lady." β
Zhou was also surprised, although she was not in Kyoto during those days, she still knew about the affairs of the Marquis of Zhongyong's mansion, and now her mother left them in the mansion, did she decide to abandon her previous suspicions?
"Mo'er, mother has always been kind, if the two of them cry, it is possible for the mother to soften. β
Zhou said this because he was afraid that Peng Mo would have a knot in Peng's heart, after all, Wu Xiaorou and Zhao Qingying had bullied the gentle Mo'er at that time.
Peng Mo understood what Zhou meant, pursed his lips and smiled, and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm too worried, let's go to Lotus Garden first." β
It's kind of funny, she wants to see what else these two can do!
Zhou nodded, and as soon as the two of them walked outside the gate of the Lotus Fragrance Garden, they saw the ingenuity of lifting the curtain to welcome them.
"The slave has seen the eldest grandmother, the fourth lady. "Ingenuity curtsy blessings.
Zhou nodded and asked, "Mother, can you rest?"
"Madame has never stopped, grandma, fourth miss, please. As he spoke, he lifted the curtain and let the two of them in.
Peng Mo smiled and stepped forward to greet Peng's family, and then looked at the two people standing in the room, Wu Xiaorou was obviously haggard and vicissitudes, wearing a coarse cloth with patches, with a rotten headscarf wrapped around her head, her head lowered and she couldn't see her expression, and the hands that were stacked in front of her were dry and rough, with many small cuts, and it seemed that she had suffered a lot.
Looking at Zhao Qingying again, with a white scarf on her face, leaning on Wu Xiaorou's side, her eyes half-blind and looking shaky.
Zhou also looked at the two of them, with a sneer and sarcasm on the corner of her mouth, but she didn't ask, but waited for Peng to say.
Peng opened his mouth, but before he could speak, he saw Zhao Wu holding Zhao Qingying's hand, kneeling in front of Peng Mo with a "poof", pulling Peng Mo's dress, and said with tears in his eyes: "Mo'er, it was my aunt who was blinded by lard before, and it was my fault that made you wronged, and I ask you to forgive me and your cousin for my foolish behavior." β
