Chapter 5 The Real Reason for Questioning
The eunuch retreated a little distance and said, "Don't dare, you should do your duty." Master, please see, there are still some emperor's rewards here. ”
The eunuchs with the trays stepped forward, and the other eunuchs lifted the yellow cloth to reveal the gold, silver, and jewels inside.
Cheng's father had never seen so many good things in his life, and he was overjoyed, but when he thought that these were all obtained by his daughter in exchange for life and death in exchange for life and death, he couldn't be happy, and even looked a little uncomfortable.
Seeing that he had a sign of grief, he hurriedly said: "Taishi, on the orders of the emperor, the marshal's coffin will be moved to the Taishifu Office, and our family will not spend more time reading the list here, generally speaking, the gold and silver treasures are for you, the Zhu Hai jewelry is for Miss Cheng, and the precious medicinal materials are for Cheng Gongzi's ......."
Seeing Cheng Yue, the eunuch was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but praise it in his heart.
Although the weak body seems to fall down when the wind blows, but the appearance is dignified, Zhilan Yushu, this kind of demeanor is not inferior to the prince in the palace.
It's a pity that whether it is rumors or what I saw with my own eyes, he is a sick seedling, otherwise, I am afraid that he is also an excellent person.
Cheng Qing, who didn't know when he walked to the jewelry, saw that the eunuch looked at his brother and his eyes didn't turn, so he took two bracelets casually, walked over, and said, "Thank you father-in-law for being thoughtful, this is thank you father-in-law." ”
The eunuch came back to his senses, saw the two valuable bracelets, his face turned pale, and he sneered: "Miss Cheng, I'd rather not torture the slaves, the emperor has an order, whoever dares to be greedy for the wealth of the Cheng family will be killed." ”
Unexpectedly, the emperor made such an order, and the deep meaning behind it was unfathomable, Cheng Qing's eyes rolled slightly, and said: "Okay, since this is the case, then I won't embarrass my father-in-law." ”
"Thank you, girl." The eunuch wiped the sweat that didn't exist, turned to Father Cheng and said, "Taishi, look, when can the coffin be transferred to Taishi's Mansion?" ”
The body of 'Cheng Yue' was incinerated at the border pass, and the coffin was ashes, so it could withstand such a toss.
Father Cheng glanced back with a complicated expression and said, "Wait until the Taishi Mansion is arranged, and then move over." ”
"Yes." The eunuch replied respectfully: "The Taishi Mansion has already started to arrange, our family will first go to the emperor to reply, and then go to the Taishi Mansion to urge, and when the arrangement is completed, we will immediately come to meet the Taishi and the marshal." ”
"There is Father-in-law Lao, please." Cheng's father said.
The snow-white whisk swept away, put it on the crook of his arm, and sent the eunuchs to signal the eunuchs to put down their things, and then took the lead and left.
Everyone rushed out, and the courtyard, which had just seemed narrow, immediately became spacious again. It's just that in front of the door, there are more guards guarding it.
Cheng Qing only glanced at it, then turned around and helped Cheng's father back.
Cheng Yue also swept his eyes, but he didn't pay attention to it.
Back in the house, Cheng Qing asked Cheng's father to rest and cook by himself.
Cheng Yue followed her into the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves and helped her light the fire.
After touching the hands of the eighteen weapons, the vegetables were not ambiguous, Cheng Qing cut them quickly, and the kitchen knife could almost only see the afterimage.
"Sister, did you already guess that your father would be this master?" Cheng Yue asked the question in his heart.
Cheng Qing paused and said, "Yes." ”
"Why Taishi?" Cheng Yue asked.
Cheng Qing hooked his lips and said with a smile: "Brother, can't you think of this question?" ”
Today's emperor has a suspicious personality and has a very good face, they have a great marshal in their family, who has a high merit and shocking the master, the emperor will guard against it in his heart, but now he doesn't have to guard against it, everyone is dead, and he doesn't need to worry about military power.
The only thing left is the issue of face, for the sake of his face, in order to give an explanation to the people of the world, he gave the Cheng family a suitable arrangement.
The prince will be too high for the Cheng family, so there is only the position of this prince, who has no real power and can be controlled, and the most important thing is that he has saved his own face.
And there is another reason, that is, the real Cheng Yue, although he seems to be a sick man, but his temperament is not a layman.
If the Cheng family has another 'Cheng Yue', there will be advantages and disadvantages for the emperor, as for the advantages or disadvantages, it depends on the future.
Of course Cheng Yue could figure it out, so he didn't ask about this.
"Don't call me haha, I'll help you if you fool me around, but I must know the real reason."
Cheng Qing put the cleaned dishes on the plate and brought them to the stove without speaking.
Cheng Yue was not in a hurry, he quickly lit the fire in his hand and put it in the stove hole, he knew that she would definitely say.
"I can't rest assured." Cheng Qing looked at the oil in the pot, and finally said the real reason. "I can't rest assured that they can't be relieved, the identity of Miss Taishifu can allow me to be bright and flexible in it."
Frowning, Cheng Yue said, "Didn't you promise your father......"
Cheng Qing smiled: "Brother, do you think I will tell them the truth?" ”
"But if you are found out." Cheng Yue was worried.
Cheng Qing shook his head and said, "Impossible, how could they think that I am a woman?" Besides, how much effort have I put into dressing up as a woman? ”
Cheng Yue laughed angrily at her and said, "What do you mean by pretending to be a woman?" You were meant to be a woman. ”
Cheng Qing smiled hesitantly and said, "Brother, you must try it when you have time, it's fun to wear women's clothes." ”
"You pull it down, I don't wear women's clothes." Cheng Yue glanced at her.
There was a "sting" sound, and the dish was put into the pot.
"Sister, I haven't asked you yet, how does it feel to pick up your 'coffin' today?" Cheng Yue asked with a smile.
Cheng Qing looked at him with slightly closed eyes, and asked rhetorically: "I didn't ask you, how do you feel when you see your 'coffin'?" ”
Cheng Yue's smile froze at the corner of his mouth, he lowered his head and touched his nose, this sister is really not cute.
……
At night, the weather is as cool as water.
The weather in March is still cold, especially at night, when the cold wind blows, which is really unbearable.
The brother and sister who were keeping vigil knelt in the mourning hall and the cold wind blew.
Cheng Qing looked at Cheng Yue's face a little whiter worriedly, and coaxed: "Brother, are you obedient?" Go in and rest. ”
Cheng Yue coughed a few times and said, "No, I'm not worried that you are here alone." ”
"There are still people guarding the door, what are you worried about?" Cheng Qingdao.
Cheng Yue took out a pill and swallowed it, his complexion suddenly improved a lot, he breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I just don't worry." ”
"You!" Cheng Qing was a little angry, and said, "Brother, can you go?" If I don't go, I'm going to be rough. ”
Cheng Yue raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You can't beat me." ”
Cheng Qing: "......"
"Ahem, Qing'er, do you know how my brother came over after you went to the border for so many years?" Cheng Yue's soft voice was a little sad.
Cheng Qing lowered her head and didn't speak, how dare she think about how he came over?
