Chapter 138: Ruthless, Never Betrayal
"Zhou Jinzhi?" Chu Li was surprised, he was about to go to find Zhou Jinzhi, but he didn't want the other party to come first.
Immediately, Chu Li reacted that something was wrong, this is Yuxiu Palace, as the elder brother, Jingbei Hou can just come once in a while, Zhou Jinzhi has no relationship with Concubine Huo Xian, how can he step into the palace concubine's bedroom?
"Why did Lord Zhou come here?" Chu Li straightened his face, although he promised Concubine Huo Xian and took the initiative to make peace with Zhou Jinzhi, but he didn't want to fall behind. For example, in the matter of entering Yuxiu Palace, Chu Li felt that his questioning was a matter of course.
"Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, rest assured, the lower officials came quietly and didn't let anyone find out. As for ......"
As he spoke, Zhou Jinzhi's gaze glanced in front of the Marquis of Jingbei, "Xiaguan came alone, but he just happened to meet Marquis Huo at the door." ”
Is that really the case?
Chu Li subconsciously doubted, he looked at Jingbei Hou, Zhou Jinzhi would lie to him, but his uncle Jingbei Hou would not.
I saw Jingbeihou nodded, "I did just meet Master Zhou at the door." ”
Although Zhou Jinzhi is Zhou's younger brother, he has never had any contact with the Jingbei Marquis Mansion, so the Jingbei Marquis is not close to him. In addition, because the Zhou family concealed Zhou Jinzhi's affairs, Jingbei Hou was afraid of Zhou's body, and never asked the ins and outs of the matter, these days with the Zhou family gave birth to a lot of diaphragm, and the source of these diaphragm, Jingbei Hou unconsciously attributed to Zhou Jinzhi's head.
Therefore, the Marquis of Jingbei did not want to be close to Zhou Jinzhi in terms of title, and called him "Lord Zhou" like ordinary colleagues in the court.
No one else could notice the difference in titles, but Zhou Jinzhi's eyebrows quickly raised, and the Marquis of Jingbei was hostile to him......
However, Zhou Jinzhi didn't care about this, and he didn't plan to be so close to Jingbei Hou. There is no other reason, for a man who almost ruined his future for a woman, Zhou Jinzhi looked down on him.
"What is Lord Zhou doing here?" Chu Li looked at Zhou Jinzhi suspiciously.
I saw Zhou Jinzhi bow first, "The lower officials have seen Concubine Xian Niangniang, and I have seen His Royal Highness the Third Prince." It is really rude for the officials to come here today, and I ask my wife and His Royal Highness to forgive me. ”
Do you know how to be rude?
Before Chu Li could speak, he was snatched away by Concubine Huo Xian, "Lord Zhou doesn't have to be polite, sit down and talk." ”
After speaking, he said to Jingbei Hou: "Brother also sits." ”
Zhou Jinzhi and Jingbei Hou thanked each other one after another, and then sat down one by one.
Concubine Huo Xian waved all the palace people back, and then asked: "It just so happens that Lord Zhou is here, and Li Er from the province will run again." I don't know what happened today, can Lord Zhou have a solution? ”
Concubine Huo Xian's words easily revealed the previous displeasure between Chu Li and Zhou Jinzhi, Zhou Jinzhi was very satisfied with this, Concubine Huo Xian was really more transparent than Chu Li, and it was not in vain for him to make this trip.
"The solution, Xia Guan has already said." Zhou Jinzhi replied, "The end of those people has long been doomed, even if they escape this time, there will be a next time in the future." Since they are terminally ill, Niangniang and His Royal Highness might as well be ruthless and get rid of them all. ”
"No way!" The Marquis of Jingbei immediately objected.
Concubine Huo Xian and Zhou Jinzhi were talking about something, he naturally understood it, and he came here today for this matter.
The impeached officials are all people who are related to the Jingbei Hou Mansion, and if these people are taken off their black gauze hats, it will be a miracle for the Jingbei Hou Mansion.
The Marquis of Jingbei didn't think that these people could be saved, he was not a fool, and the impeachment of Tie Yushi was clearly instructed by the Marquis of Chengen. The Marquis of Cheng'en wants to be embarrassed by the Marquis of Jingbei, with the current strength of their Huo family, they are powerless to compete, and it is impossible to keep them all smoothly. However, Jingbei Hou never thought about it, and directly gave up on these people.
"Niangniang, Your Highness, those people are distant relatives of the Huo family, and many of them have always supported His Highness, if we don't care about this, then who else will really help His Highness in the future?" The Marquis of Jingbei spoke earnestly and authentically. The Huo family is not abundant, and he is the only one left in this branch of the family, and the people next to him are only distant relatives. If they are in trouble, they don't even have the intention of helping them, and they will inevitably be hated by others.
Zhou Jinzhi scoffed at Jingbei Hou's words, and also put them into words: "The world is bustling, all for profit, if there is no trend of interests, who will take such a big risk?" Huo Houye, you are affectionate and righteous, but others are not. ”
But few people will be as infatuated as Jingbei Hou.
"Lord Zhou, you ......"
Before the Marquis of Jingbei could say anything, he was interrupted by Concubine Huo Xian, "Okay, this palace has already made up its mind about this matter." ”
Immediately, Concubine Huo Xian Zhengse continued: "The evidence is conclusive, and Cheng Enhou is staring at us, if we exonerate those people, we will fall into Cheng Enhou's plan, and then Li Er's original fine will become something." You must deal with this matter impartially, and at the same time, you must be extra careful, so as not to be caught. Brother, although those people are related to the Huo family, they are just distant relatives, you just don't know them well. ”
Concubine Huo Xian's attitude was very clear, although she said the reason, the result did not change, she agreed with Zhou Jinzhi's words. In this regard, Jingbei Hou was displeased, and said: "Niangniang, even if we can't save all of them, we can save one or two, at least it makes people feel that we are not ignoring." ”
Even though I can't save each other for the sake of safety, but in front of the Huo family, I expressed the meaning of "It's not that I don't save it, but I really can't save it". Anyway, it can make people not too cold.
"Brother, Cheng Enhou is embarrassed in the court, the queen is torturing the palace in the harem, their Yao family is eyeing us, if we make a little move at this time, they will immediately grab the handle, and it will be all over at that time."
Concubine Huo Xian said solemnly to the Marquis of Jingbei: "Brother, this matter is not negotiable, so I can only do this." How difficult it has been for us to get to where we are today. The more this time, the more you can't hold your breath. ”
"Niangniang...... Jingbei Hou wanted to say something more, but saw Concubine Huo Xian and said, "It's not early, and it's inconvenient for my brother to stay for a long time." ”
The eviction order has been issued, Concubine Huo Xian's meaning is obvious, there is no need to discuss, no matter what Jingbei Hou says, she can't change her decision. The Marquis of Jingbei had no choice but to leave.
Zhou Jinzhi also saluted Concubine Huo Xian, "The lower official has also taken his leave." ”
Zhou Jinzhi came quietly, so naturally he avoided his eyes and ears and quietly left Yuxiu Palace. Jingbei Hou originally wanted to say a few words to Zhou Jinzhi, but he didn't want to walk out of the door of Yuxiu Palace, and as soon as he turned around, Zhou Jinzhi behind him was gone......
And in Yuxiu Palace, as soon as the two left, Chu Li couldn't help but ask: "Mother, in front of your uncle, why do you want to stand on Zhou Jinzhi's side." And Zhou Jinzhi, what does he mean? ”
He also thought that he was as arrogant as Zhou Jinzhi would only wait for him to take the initiative to come to the door, but he never expected that he hadn't come to the door yet, but Zhou Jinzhi came first. Moreover, looking at his words and deeds, he doesn't seem to remember the unpleasantness of that day.
"Zhou Jinzhi is taking the initiative to give you the stairs." Concubine Huo Xian chuckled and said, "Li'er, don't think that Zhou Jinzhi is an arrogant person, in fact, he knows how to advance and retreat better than anyone else." ”
"Mother, my sons don't understand."
Chu Li was puzzled, what kind of person did Zhou Jinzhi give down the steps, he had no respect and humility, and he dared to show him a face, and now he came to the door to say a word or two, this is called peace?
Concubine Huo Xian explained: "Zhou Jinzhi has long known that if he wants you to give up the Huo family, you will definitely not agree. His words that day were actually a reminder for you, and today he took the initiative to come to the door to show his attitude. There are too many useless people in the Huo clan, you have to give up, he is actually helping you. ”
As for the collapse of Zhou Jinzhi and Chu Li that day, Concubine Huo Xian thought that Zhou Jinzhi probably did it on purpose. The more Chu Li disagreed, the more he realized now how difficult it was to change the result. And Zhou Jinzhi took the initiative to come to the door, which actually showed his attitude, no one could do anything about this matter, and he did it for the sake of the overall situation.
Chu Li seemed to understand, but there was always a pimple in his heart, "But Mother, if we don't save any of them, I'm afraid that no one in the Huo family will be willing to help their sons succeed in the future." ”
If we can't share weal and beyond, there will naturally be no possibility of common prosperity. This truth couldn't be simpler.
However, Concubine Huo Xian didn't raise her eyelids, and said extremely coldly: "The Huo clan is unwilling, but the Jingbei Hou Mansion will never betray us." ”
