Chapter Twenty-Six: Contradictions
Listening to Lianzhi's words, Wen Zhiyu was slightly stunned, and then smiled, but no matter how she looked at it, her smile was bitter: "I never thought that you could see it so thoroughly." ”
Wen Zhiyu found that since she met Lianzhi, she had indeed done a lot of things that she would never have done before. Now, after Renzhi's reminder, he found that he had crossed that line.
"People are greedy, it's human instinct to get an inch, and I don't want to be like that. So, don't be too nice to me. "Otherwise, even if I know very well that all this is just the beginning of profits, I will still involuntarily fall into it.
Wen Zhiyu didn't know what to say for a while, he thought back to what had happened during this time, and everything seemed to have deviated from the original trajectory. At the very least, he shouldn't get involved in Wang Li's matter, because no matter what the outcome of this matter is, it will do more harm than good to him. He has been cautious for so many years, and he has no clue about this step.
"And what do you want me to do?" Wen Zhiyu asked, "Doesn't it matter to you?" If he really didn't care about you, he shouldn't have saved you when he was in Yunfeng. Since the fate between you and me began with Yunfeng, it is impossible to cut it off now. ”
But I'm not the real Lin Wanyang, this matter can be hidden for a while, and it is impossible to hide it for a lifetime! Lianzhi regretted for the first time why she agreed to marry instead, why did she become Lin Wanyang, and why did she meet Wen Zhiyu?
"I don't want to mention this matter now, Wen Zhiyu, what we have to face now is Wang Li."
"But in the face of this, you left me out."
"Isn't it what you should want if I leave you out? Why do you have to get into this quagmire with me, is it so interesting to die together? At this time, shouldn't you be wise enough to protect yourself? ”
Wen Zhiyu tried to calm himself down, and it was useless to quarrel with Lian Zhi at this time: "It may be that I just had a problem with my tone, I just think that this time the matter is not small, you have not been in Xichu for a long time, and many situations are not clear." I know you're very good, but there are some things that you can do alone, and I'm afraid it's hard to do them well. ”
Lianzhi also knew that she shouldn't be angry with Wen Zhiyuan, and when she saw that Wen Zhiyuan gave her the steps, she also went down the steps: "I just found out that Qian De's pawnshop has a relationship with the second prince, and the meaning of the Wang family should be the meaning of the Mo family, so the Mo family should be the second prince who supports it." ”
Wen Zhiyu already understood Lianzhi's plan: "This matter is not easy to do. Wen Zhiyu didn't expect Wen Zhiyu to hide so deeply, for so many years, the relationship between Wen Zhiyu and the Mo family has never been discovered.
Lianzhi nodded: "I know that once you fail, the consequences will be miserable. Therefore, you can't get involved, this matter is done by me alone, anyway, there is Dongxia behind me, no matter how angry Emperor Chu is, he will not really kill me. ”
"That's why you don't want to involve me?" Wen Zhiyu asked.
Lianzhi himself couldn't say why: "Anyway, you'd better leave nothing alone." ”
"Wen Zhiyu has always been very popular with his father, if this matter can hit him, then why don't I get involved?" Wen Zhiyu asked rhetorically, "This matter is not for you, but for myself, so we can discuss it together." ”
Wen Zhiyu said and slowly approached Lianzhi, with a slight smile on his face, and he didn't seem to be angry at all: "Are you sure, can you do this alone?" ”
Renzhi did know a lot of things, but there was still a very critical connection point missing, and if she couldn't find that connection point, then everything she did tonight was meaningless.
"You won." Lian Zhi pushed Wen Zhiyu away, she didn't use force, Wen Zhiyu took two steps back according to her strength.
"Let's go back together." Wen Zhiyu said.
On the way back, Lian Zhi told Wen Zhiyu everything he saw tonight.
Lian Zhi sighed silently in her heart, just now she and Wen Zhiyu were almost arguing, but now they can walk back together so calmly. But is the problem really solved? In fact, this is a dead knot that cannot be untied, but both of them can only choose to ignore this problem now.
"You said you wrote down a picture of Xuemei in the account book?"
"Well, that "Snow Plum Picture" is everyone's work, it is said that it has been lost for a long time, I thought it would be collected, but I didn't expect it to be in a pawnshop."
"Not in the pawnshop, to be exact, but in the palace, and my father liked that picture very much. When the second emperor gave this "Snow Plum Picture" as a birthday gift to his father, his father was very happy. ”
Lianzhi suddenly remembered something, she stopped and asked, "But how did "Xuemeitu" appear in Chand's pawnshop?" ”
Wen Zhiyu didn't know about this matter, he just said that he would send someone to investigate, but he didn't expect to hear Gu Shiqi's voice: "Why did "Xuemeitu" appear in Qian De's pawnshop, I can solve this question for you." ”
Lian Zhi and Wen Zhiyu looked at Gu Shiqi, both of them with scrutiny and suspicion in their eyes. Gu Shiqi quipped: "Why, if you are allowed to go out for a walk in the middle of the night, I can't do it?" ”
Lianzhi was very sure that Gu Shiqi had just appeared, and he hadn't heard the previous conversation, but the timing of Gu Shiqi's appearance was too ingenious, and it seemed very strange.
Lianzhi asked, "You weren't found when you came out, were you?" ”
"Of course not." Gu Shiqi smiled, "But let's talk about this "Snow Plum Picture" ...... together."
Su Qing got up early the next morning, she originally wanted to prepare breakfast for Lianzhi, but just walked downstairs and found that Lianzhi and Gu Shiqi were already eating breakfast.
Lianzhi saw Su Qing and beckoned to her: "You're awake, hurry up and have breakfast." ”
Su Qing sat down a little dazed: "What about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the cold wind guards?" ”
"Wen Zhiyu is going to the court, and the two have already left." Because it was too early, only the table of Lianzhi was eating breakfast in the lobby, and everyone had no scruples about talking.
"Princess, when did you get up, why are you so early?" Lianzhi didn't know how to explain to Su Qing that she didn't get up early, but didn't sleep all night.
"Maybe I didn't sleep well, so I woke up early." Lianzhi beckoned Su Qing to sit down, and then put a bowl of porridge in front of Su Qing, "Drink it quickly, otherwise it will be cold." ”
Su Qing always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say that something was wrong: "Then what are we going to do today?" ”
"It's very simple, come with me to buy things, buy what you like, and pick what is expensive." Lian Zhi took away the porridge bowl in Gu Shiqi's hand as he spoke, "You hurry up and go, remember to settle the account." ”
Gu Shiqi stood up helplessly: "Are you sure you let me go so early?" ”
Lian Zhi glanced at him, Gu Shiqi didn't dare to speak, and immediately left: "Cross the river and tear down the bridge." ”
"Princess, Gu Gongzi and the crown prince have left, when will we go back to the palace?"
"Back to the palace?" Lianzhi guessed, "If it goes well, I can sleep well tomorrow, if it doesn't go well, then I will have to wait a few days." ”
Here, Gu Shiqi walked out of the inn and walked towards Gu's house, and he was keenly aware that the thugs of Ruyi Gambling House had followed him, and a successful smile appeared on his face.
After the next dynasty, Wen Zhiyu did not leave immediately, but went to visit his mother and concubine.
Concubine Xian is not from a famous family, with the body of a palace maid all the way to the position of Concubine Xian, you can imagine how powerful this person is.
When Wen Zhiyu arrived, Concubine Xian was practicing calligraphy.
Concubine Xian can get to where she is today, not only because of her beautiful face, but also because of her scheming. She knew that Emperor Chu liked talented women, and she was stunned from a person who only knew a few words at the beginning, to a person who could discuss poetry and books with Emperor Chu now, and her opinions made Emperor Chu look sideways. It is enough to imagine how much has been paid during this period.
"The mother's handwriting is already very good." Wen Zhiyu praised.
Concubine Xian did not put down the brush in her hand: "If the palace has been stagnant, do you really think that the emperor will come here?" ”
Wen Zhiyu doesn't have much affection for Concubine Xian, in his impression, his mother has not taken care of him since he was a child, holding those poems and books every day, practicing calligraphy and painting, and refusing to leave a day behind. But Wen Zhiyu also knew that it was precisely because Concubine Xian was favored that he would be favored by Emperor Chu, so he respected Concubine Xian very much on weekdays.
"The mother thinks long-term, but the son is not thoughtful."
"You can't afford to make any mistakes lately, you know?"
"Is it because of the marriage?"
"That's right, no matter what the eldest prince is, you will definitely have no problem with the Mo family. You must not be careless until the will for marriage has been handed down. Now the queen is anxious because of the marriage of the eldest prince, if you make a mistake at this juncture, then all these years of hard work will be in vain. ”
The son understood what the concubine meant. However, something happened to the Wang family recently, which is related to Princess Wanyang, the relationship between the Wang family and the Mo family, the mother you also know, the Wang family begged the Mo family to come to their son's side, hoping that the son can stand up for Wang Li. ”
