On the second day of the first month, the Anguo Mansion was full of joy, and on this day, the queen mother in the palace was actually very happy, because in the evening, King Yi's guard of honor entered Beijing, and he came back from an errand one step ahead of King Xin.

And in the small town at the foot of Qinglian Mountain outside the capital, King Xin is bringing his own people and horses and other news, although the town where he stayed is not big, but it is also lively during the New Year, and every family has posted Spring Festival couplets, which looks peaceful.

The travelers of the entire inn had returned to their hometowns in a hurry, and in the empty inn, only Zheng Ying and his guards lived. This year is actually not lonely for Zheng Ying, compared to previous years in the palace, at least this year, the people who accompany him for the New Year are the people he trusts.

Of course...... Except for the one in the prison car.

On the night of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zheng Ying sat alone in the inn room, facing the flickering lights like beans, drinking a cup of tea alone, it was late at night, and snowflakes suddenly floated outside the window, and it was at this time that Jiling knocked on Zheng Ying's door.

"Master," Ji Ling saluted after entering the door, and the first sentence went straight to the point: "King Yi has already entered Beijing."

"Good." Zheng Ying nodded and stood up directly: "Send them a message, let them set off overnight, and be sure to meet us at the beginning of tomorrow."

"My subordinates know." Ji Ling nodded: "Master, it's late at night, you can rest, rest assured, set off before the dawn tomorrow, speed up, you can enter Beijing in two hours at most, and enter the palace in the morning."

"Hmm." Zheng Ying responded lightly and put down the teacup in her hand: "Is there any news over there?"

"It's similar to what we inquired about before," Ji Ling replied, "King Yi still left room for Li Xiang, and he dug up a lot of things from Zhao Zhiliang, and didn't present them all to the emperor."

"Miss Xie Si had an accident, he was angry, and took the opportunity to warn and beat Li Xiang, how could he really let Li Xiang fall." Zheng Ying chuckled: "After all, Li Xiang is not Xie Xiang, there is no way out, you can only follow him."

"Xie Xiang's ......" Ji Ling hesitated for a moment, but finally didn't say anything.

"You've been wondering for a long time, haven't you?" Zheng Ying glanced at Ji Ling: "We met Miss Xie Si on Qinglian Mountain Road a few months ago, do you think I shouldn't treat my allies with such an attitude?"

"The master's decision is naturally wise." Ji Ling didn't dare to comment on anything, but lowered her head slightly.

"How can you be sure that Xie Xiang really chose his position early?" Zheng Ying showed an inexplicable smile: "Just those words he said before I left Beijing?"

"The subordinates are stupid," Ji Ling simply raised his head and expressed his doubts generously: "Since Xiang Xie intends to marry Miss Xie Si to you, doesn't that mean that he has already chosen us?"

"Xie Xiang is so shrewd, you are willing to believe what he said." Zheng Ying shook her head lightly: "Let me ask you, everyone in Beijing knows that King Yi loves Xie Shurou, and he sends people to send letters and things every once in a while, can you see what Xie Xiang said?"

"I haven't said anything clearly," Ji Ling replied, "But King Yi is so high-profile, Xie Xiang should also be embarrassed." Isn't what he told you in private just that I hope you don't get me wrong!"

"What can I misunderstand," Zheng Ying smiled: "I don't want to marry Xie Shurou, you have been following me for so long, when did you see me reveal to Xie Xiang that I want to marry the daughter of the Xie family?"

"Nope." Ji Ling shook her head very sincerely: "But the Xie family is the queen mother's mother after all!"

The queen mother in Ji Ling's mouth, of course, is not the one in the palace now, Zheng Ying heard his words, and smiled slightly: "You are right, the Xie family is the queen mother's mother after all, and they should have trusted each other." I never said that I wanted to marry the daughter of the Xie family, Xie Xiang didn't understand it in his heart, but he deliberately came over to show that the Xie family didn't want to be involved with King Yi, why is this? So Jiling...... Xie Xiang is not our back road, he treats us as a back road. ”

"Lord Wang......" Ji Ling was stunned: "But...... This...... Are you saying that Xie Xiang's position may change? ”

"I didn't say that," Zheng Ying smiled and patted Ji Ling's shoulder as if soothingly: "Don't worry about it first, if you want Xie Xiang to change his position, my brother will have to come up with some decent chips." At the moment, it seems that the most advantageous chip is nothing more than the position of the first assistant, but he is willing to promise, but I don't think he can do it. The sixth brother is thoughtful, and he likes to weigh the pros and cons in advance, which is an advantage and a disadvantage. ”

"The prince's subordinates don't understand what he says." In front of his master, Ji Ling did not hide it at all, and expressed his opinion generously: "King Yi is meticulous, and he can naturally use the chips in his hand to the extreme, he is the heart treasure of the Yuyang Palace, and the one in the Yuyang Palace is the emperor's heart treasure." The emperor is eccentric, but he is meticulous and meticulous, and he is an extremely difficult opponent for us. ”

"It may not be a good thing to calculate the gains and losses clearly at every step," Zheng Ying showed a strange smile: "If I were him, I would never take the initiative to provoke Xie Shurou and make such a big move." On the surface, it seems that getting a wife like the Xie family is very important for his future path, but I think that marrying the daughter of the Xie family may not be a good thing for him. If I were him, I would honestly marry the daughter of the Li family, if he was unwilling to marry the daughter of the Li family, then the granddaughter of the scholar Gu, and even the granddaughter of Lin Xiang would be a better choice than the daughter of the Xie family, but he couldn't think about it......"

"Lord, do you mean ......" Ji Ling looked a little abrupt: "Lin Xiang may be old, and his status and means are above Li Xiang, Li Xiang can't compete with him." And Gu Daxue is not involved in the affairs of the six ministries, even if he is an official residence, he has no intersection with Li Xiang's authority at present, if King Yi chooses them, it will not lead to the current situation. ”

"Exactly." Zheng Ying nodded: "Zheng Jin chose Xie Shurou because he liked the strength of the Xie family, Xie Changjing and his future." This is all true, but the better the Xie family is now, the more uneasy Li Xiang is, after all, if Lin Xiang really dies old, there is only one position as the first assistant. If Xie Xiang has a clear position to support the sixth brother, it is obvious that the Xie family is more important to the sixth brother, much more important than the Li family, and once the relationship between the two sides begins to be unbalanced, it will lead to the current situation. Not long after the sixth brother entered the court on an errand, Xie Xiang and Li Xiang had already torn their faces, how could they cooperate with each other to help him to the position of prince as he planned? ”

"Right now, the two factions of Xie and Li have torn their faces, and it is absolutely impossible to cooperate." Ji Ling thought for a while and replied: "So what are you worried about, Lord Wang, how could Xie Xiang turn around and stand with Li Xiang."

"One time, another time." Zheng Ying sighed softly: "No one can say what will happen in the future, and it's too early to say anything."
