Chapter 170: Changing Jade
"This matter, it is most appropriate for the lady to come forward." Lianzhi replied.
Wen Zhiyu nodded: "That's true." ”
"Anyway, as long as you find a good explanation, it is best to let Concubine Shu come forward." Gu Shiqi was curious about another thing, "What kind of deal did Mo Ziyu make with you, ordinary things won't let you help Mo Ningyao so much, right?" ”
"My father has a piece of exquisite jade, I like it very much, and I am usually reluctant to wear it, for fear of bumping into it." Wen Zhiyu put the small box on the table, "But now, there is only one piece of exquisite jade in this world here!" ”
Gu Shiqi opened the small box and saw that this piece was indeed a delicate jade: "This piece of exquisite jade is real, and the emperor's piece of exquisite jade is fake?" ”
"When my father heard the name of exquisite jade, he always wanted to get it. It's just that I didn't expect that in the end, it was Wen Zhiyu who dedicated the exquisite jade to his father on his father's birthday. "Wen Zhiyu has made the ins and outs of the future clear.
Gu Shiqi was a little amused when he heard it: "As far as I know, the congratulatory gifts given by this second prince at the birthday banquets of Emperor Chu always satisfy Emperor Chu. Something happened to the plum blossom picture last time, could it be that this time the exquisite jade had an accident again? ”
"Where does Wen Zhiyu have any ability to hunt for treasures, he used to rely on the Wang family. But that time, the Wang family couldn't find the exquisite jade before his father's birthday, so Wen Zhiyu thought of a way to mix things up. Wen Zhiyu explained, "Transparent jade is also a rare kind of precious jade, and the Wang family happens to have a piece, and once the jade is stained with color, it will change color." ”
Gu Shiqi looked at the exquisite jade in the small box: "The color of this exquisite jade, I'm afraid it is the most similar only if it is soaked in human blood." ”
"That's right, Wen Zhiyu soaked the jade with human blood, and after the jade was dyed red, it was no different from the exquisite jade, so Wen Zhiyu was able to dedicate this piece of jade to his father as a birthday gift." Wen Zhiyu paused here when she said this, "The most ironic thing is that a few days after my father's birthday, the Wang family found this real exquisite jade. But the Wang family didn't dare to tell Wen Zhiyu about this matter at all, but they just secretly hid this exquisite jade and have been hiding it until now. ”
"Human blood is stained red and transparent, and it is also a loss to Wen Zhiyu to think about it, which is a very unlucky thing for the emperor. If Emperor Chu knew about this, Wen Zhiyu would be finished. Gu Shiqi asked, "Then why didn't Mo Ziyu use this piece of jade to make a deal with Wen Zhiyu?" ”
"Mo Ziyu made a deal with Wen Zhiyu, and he could ensure Mo Ningyao's glory for a while, but he traded with us to ensure Mo Ningyao's peace for a lifetime. What do you think he will choose? ”
"If Mo Ziyu in the past would definitely choose a moment of glory, but now Mo Ziyu will choose a lifetime of peace." Gu Shiqi couldn't help but sigh, "His leg was really broken." ”
"When he fell off his horse in the hunting ground, it was Mo Xu's doing." Lian Zhi replied, "Mo Xuxu wants to support Mo Junting, so she can only get rid of Mo Ziyu first, and now Mo Ziyu is a waste, so who will hinder her?" ”
"Mo Ningyao, and the child in Hu Xiu's belly. If it was her poisonous hand to frame Mo Ningyao, it would really kill two birds with one stone, not only removing the child in Hu Xiu's belly, but also making Mo Ningyao lose everyone's hearts. Gu Shiqi didn't expect Mo Xuxu to be so ruthless, "She is a concubine, I didn't expect to be so ruthless." ”
Lian Zhi didn't comment on Mo Xuxu, and if she was put in Mo Xuxu's position, she didn't know what kind of decision she would make.
"Then the most likely person to do this now is Mo Xuxu, do you want to start with her?" Wen Zhiyu asked.
Lian Zhi shook his head: "Now it is the most important thing to solve Mo Ningyao's predicament as soon as possible, it is too wasteful of time to start with Mo Xuxu." ”
Gu Shiqi asked, "Then this piece of exquisite jade, when do you plan to use it?" ”
"Anyway, now is not the time, this kind of evidence, of course, must be used at the most critical time." Lianzhi's thoughts coincided with Gu Shiqi and Wen Zhiyi, and Wen Zhiyu spoke: "Let's go back to the palace after dinner, Gu Shiqi, please go and check the doctor who went to the Prime Minister's Mansion that day." ”
"You husband and wife, it's really ...... to instruct me," Gu Shiqi said this, and shook his head helplessly, "It's not a family, if you don't enter a family, you are a perfect match." ”
"Eat well, you." Lianzhi put a plate of cold dishes in front of Gu Shiqi, "Eat some appetizers first, appetizers." ”
Gu Shiqi agreed a little helplessly: "Okay!" ”
In the Great Prince's Mansion, the ink painting sent Ling Yu over, but Wen Zhiyan was not there, so Ling Yan was directly brought to Qi Zhaoyu.
"The eldest princess, the slave maid was ordered to send this concubine over. If nothing else, the slave and maid go first. The ink painting replied.
Qi Zhaoyu asked people to reward the ink painting with silver: "I'm tired of the ink painting girl to go this way." ”
After the ink painting left, Qi Zhaoyu looked at Ling Zhu, and his face suddenly changed.
Ling Yu changed into a lake blue dress today, put her hair in a bun, and did not apply powder on her face, looking fresh and clean. It is not difficult to see that Luo Xuanran specially washed and dressed her up before sending Ling Xuan out of the palace.
Today is the first time Qi Zhaoyu has officially seen the appearance of Ling Zhu, she has not found out that Ling Yan is so beautiful before!
"looks like a fox, and she was born to be a concubine." Qi Zhaoyu lifted Ling Zhaoyu's chin with her hand, Ling Yu just looked at Qi Zhaoyu silently, but it was not difficult to see her dissatisfaction with Qi Zhaoyu from her eyes.
Ling Yu has been suffering from the queen during this time, and he looks a lot more settled than before.
"This princess is the concubine of the eldest prince, you are a concubine, you should know that you will have to say hello sooner or later in the future, and serve this princess, right?" Qi Zhaoyu asked.
Ling Yu replied, "The slave knows. ”
Qi Zhaoyu let go of the lingyu: "Yi Nong, take her to the most remote courtyard in the mansion." ”
Yi Nong went down with the water chestnut, and Qi Zhaoyu sat down again: "Xin Cheng, how do you say this princess is going to deal with this water chestnut?" ”
"It's not easy, please have good morning every day, and let her wait outside. At night, you are not allowed to go until you are in the morning. ”
"But looking at her like this every day, my heart is panicked."
"Princess, isn't it even more panicked when she looks at you and the prince every day?" Xin Cheng asked rhetorically, "And she is just a little concubine now, isn't it a matter of your words?" Didn't the queen mother arrange her to be by your side just to make you angry? ”
Qi Zhaoyu nodded: "Anyway, you keep an eye on her, if she has a little abnormal behavior, she will punish this princess to death." ”
"Yes." Xin Cheng responded.
In the evening, Wen Zhiyan returned home, Qi Zhaoyu was waiting for him to eat, and Ling Yu was standing beside Qi Zhaoyu, waiting to prepare vegetables for her.
"Rhombus?" Wen Zhiyan was a little surprised.
Qi Zhaoyu said: "Yes, the queen mother sent someone to send Ling Yu over today, she will be the concubine of the Great Prince's Mansion in the future, and she will serve by the concubine's side in the future." ”
Wen Zhiyan just responded lightly: "You can just watch and do these things." ”
During the meal, Ling Yu could only stand next to him all the time to prepare dishes for Wen Zhiyan and Qi Zhaoyu, and after dinner, Wen Zhiyan naturally stayed here with Qi Zhaoyu. Ling Mao was guarding the door, and she listened to the laughter coming from inside, and her heart was very uncomfortable, and her head hurt more and more.
Ling Yu endured the headache and kept standing at the door, the lights in the room were out, and it seemed that Qi Zhaoyu and Wen Zhiyan had rested. Ling Zhen didn't dare to leave without permission, and it wasn't until the time of the child that Xin Cheng came over to let Ling Zhen leave.
Ling Yu returned to her remote small courtyard, she couldn't help but have a sour nose, how could she have suffered such a grievance in the Qinjiang Chu Pavilion before?
"Wronged?" Wen Zhiyan suddenly appeared at the door, Ling Yu turned around and saw that it was Wen Zhiyan, and his face was shocked: "Aren't you accompanying the princess?" ”
"She's asleep, so the king has time to come and see you." Wen Zhiyan walked to the stool in front of Ling Yu and sat down, "In the past, you always asked this king, why didn't you want to take you back to the palace, now do you know?" Let you stay in Qinjiang Chu Pavilion for your own good! ”
"Can I go back to the Qinjiang Chu Pavilion again?"
"It's impossible, now I can't defend you in front of Qi Zhaoyu, what do you have to endure a little more." Wen Zhiyan asked, "The Queen Mother didn't find anything wrong with you, did she?" ”
"The queen mother has no doubts about my identity, don't worry."
"When Qi Zhaoyu is less wary of you, this king will find a way to transfer Cui Ping and Cui Yan to your side."
Ling Yu knew that Wen Zhiyan was still thinking about himself, but now that he had come to this point, Wen Zhiyan had no way to maintain himself too much.
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Wen Zhiyan asked: "This king didn't have the opportunity to be alone with you before, it's rare to have time tonight, this king asks you, why did you appear in the palace, what happened?" ”
