Chapter 272: Difficult
It's early afternoon, and the autumn sun isn't hot, and even when you stand under the warm sun, you don't feel the sun is scorching.
Meng Yi closed his eyes and raised his head to the warm sun above his head. The golden halo sprinkled on him and bathed his body, and the peony walked from afar, only to feel that the people in the distance were dazzling and could not be forced.
"Peony has seen the pavilion master." Peony walked in front of Meng Yi, only to feel a touch of awe involuntarily floating in his heart.
Meng Yi didn't open his eyes when he heard this, but maintained his original posture and said lightly: "Have you found out whose handiwork it is about Liu Zhen?" β
"Back to the pavilion master, I have found it." Peony replied: "The person who instructed the envoy was Li Chao, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, who bought off the killers in the city, and the traces left by Peony have been sent to erase it, presumably the people of the court will not find out about Lord Li." β
Peony said this with an uncontrollable smug smile on his face - after all, now people in the court think that Liu Zhen's death was Meng Yi's handiwork, but they didn't expect that when those people decided to nominate Meng Yi to the throne, Meng Yi's identity had to be true even if it was fake.
Therefore, all those who question Meng Yi's identity, even if Meng Yi does not do it, there will naturally be someone to solve it for Meng Yi.
After Meng Yi heard this, he opened his eyes and showed a faint smile, "Li Chao? Yes, this is a matter of the king's memory. β
When he ascends to the throne in the future, this person will be able to use it. While thinking about it, Meng Yi laughed at himself and found that power is really a good thing, he didn't feel it when he didn't have it, but once he had it now, it was really unstoppable.
Seeing that Meng Yi was deep in thought, Peony didn't bother, just stood quietly aside. The eyebrows and eyes that are exposed outside the veil are demure and obedient, even if the face is covered, people can see at a glance that this is a beauty.
After a long pause, Meng Yi seemed to have sobered up from his wandering.
He turned his head to look at Peony, hesitated slightly before asking, "How is she now?" β
I am afraid that there is only one person in the whole world who can make the Sword Pavilion Pavilion Master, who has always been strategic, show such a hesitant demeanor.
Fortunately, knowing that Fang Mengru was the person on the tip of Meng Yi's heart, Peony had always sent people to pay attention to the situation on Fang Mengru's side, otherwise he really couldn't answer at this time.
"Back to the pavilion master, the relationship between the princess and the prince is good, but that Feng Wanwan has a brutal personality and often troubles the princess. The crown princess is not such a scheming person, so it is inevitable that she will suffer a small loss at the hands of Feng Wanwan on weekdays. Peony replied while peeking at Meng Yi's face.
I saw Meng Yi's face sinking faintly, and he said coldly: "Is there one of us over there in Yinshan Hou?" β
Yinshan Hou is Feng Wanwan's mother's family, if something goes wrong with her mother's family, Feng Wanwan will not have the capital to be arrogant.
Peony frowned and thought for a while, and then replied: "Yes, yes, but that Yin Shanhou is cautious and not very close to women, so our people have not collected any useful information." β
Peony's answer made Meng Yi slightly disappointed, "Let the people under your hands take action, and within a month, this king will have the handle of the Marquis of Yin Mountain in his hands." β
It is not easy for a dignified marquis to collect the handle that can bring him down within a month. Peony secretly complained in her heart, but she had to respond: "Yes, Peony will do his best." β
After finishing speaking, Peony changed his mind and remembered one thing again, "By the way, Pavilion Master, two days ago, someone broke into Liu's house at night and intimidated Liu, who is still sick in bed." β
"Presumably, that person is also going for Lin Yingxue, but I don't know which force it is, otherwise I can make friends."
When Peony said this, he had already excluded Murong Xun, after all, firstly, Murong Xun's style of acting did not look like a person who would do such a thing, and secondly, if it was really Murong Xun, they would not be able to cooperate with him.
"Hmph," unlike Peony, Meng Yi snorted lightly, and did not show the curiosity he should have, "Lin Yingxue is also a rare female strategist, but as the saying goes, Hui Yi is young." She is too sharp, and she will inevitably be remembered. β
After Meng Yi finished talking to himself, he turned his head and admonished: "Don't fight her idea, she is Murong Jun's biggest weakness, and it is more useful to keep her than to destroy her." If you let the king know that you are secretly doing something to her, you will know the methods of the cabinet. β
Meng Yi's tone was calm, but the words he said made Peony's back chill. Although she was unwilling, she had to respond: "Don't worry, Peony understands." β
β¦β¦
Liu Zhai.
Lin Yingxue, who was reading a book, rubbed her eyes - her right eyelid has been beating non-stop since she got up in the morning, and it has not improved after many methods, which is really annoying.
Lin Yingxue put down the book in her hand with some annoyance, looked up and just wanted to ask Miaoqin to come in and give her ideas, but Miaoqin seemed to have learned her thoughts in advance and walked in by herself.
"Miaoqin, you came just in time, my right eyelid has been dancing all the time today, do you have any good way to stop it." Lin Yingxue said as she beckoned to Miaoqin.
"Really?" When Miaoqin heard this, she hurriedly stepped forward, and while looking at Lin Yingxue's eyes, she said casually: "When the slave maid went out just now, I saw that Song Gongzi had been circling in front of our house, and I didn't know what I wanted to do, should the young lady call someone in and ask." β
"Song Gongzi?" Lin Yingxue repeated it suspiciously, and then remembered that Miaoqin was talking about Song Qingshu, "If he really has something to do with me, he will definitely come in, if he doesn't come in, forget it." "She didn't really want to provoke either.
"Yes." Miaoqin responded, frowning and said, "It's not a matter that Miss's eyelids keep jumping, the slave maid goes to get some hot water, and when it gets wet, use a hot towel to apply it to Miss." β
"Okay." As soon as Lin Yingxue's words fell, Miao Hua suddenly walked in from outside the door, "Miss, Song Gongzi is asking to see you outside." β
It's still here in the end. Lin Yingxue and Miaoqin glanced at each other, and it was not easy to turn people away, so they could only helplessly say: "Invite Song Gongzi in." β
"Yes." The wonderful painting responded, and after a short time, people were brought in.
I haven't seen him for a while, Song Qingshu seems to have lost a lot, and people don't seem to be as energetic as before.
"I don't know why Song Gongzi suddenly visited the office today?" Lin Yingxue looked at the person next with a smile, although her attitude was gentle, but with a touch of alienation.
Seeing the woman as fresh and elegant as a magnolia again, Song Qingshu only felt that his heart, which had been silent for a long time, seemed to come alive again.
His gaze greedily lingered on Lin Yingxue's face, until Miaoqin suddenly appeared in front of him, blocking his view, "Gongzi Song, please drink tea." β
Miaoqin's voice pulled Song Qingshu's wandering thoughts back to reality, and suddenly felt Fang Cai's gaffe, and Song Qingshu had a slightly embarrassed look on his face, "For a moment, please don't take it to heart Miss Five." β
As Song Qingshu spoke, he beckoned behind him and motioned for the little servant to bring up the things he brought.
Lin Yingxue looked down suspiciously, and saw that the box was filled with many things, including fine cloth, all kinds of gadgets, and some heads, all kinds of things, as if a grocery store was sending something here.
"What does Song Gongzi mean by this?" Lin Yingxue frowned and looked at Song Qingshu, with a faint displeasure in her hookah-like eyes.
Song Qingshu originally watched Lin Yingxue's orphan and widow live outside, and two days ago he heard that Liu was sick, so he sent something over when he was worried, but he didn't expect to annoy the beauty.
"Fifth Miss, don't get me wrong, I'm just, just ......" Words like sympathy and help Song Qingshu couldn't say anything, but he couldn't think of other suitable words for a while, so he stumbled a little.
However, Lin Yingxue is such a smart character, seeing Song Qingshu's hesitant appearance, he already understands seven or eight points in his heart.
"Song Gongzi should carry these things back, although Yingxue and her mother have been alone, but self-sufficiency is really more than enough, and life is not as unbearable as Song Gongzi imagined!" Lin Yingxue also knew that Song Qingshu had good intentions, but Song Qingshu's way of doing things was really annoying.
Seeing Lin Yingxue with a small face, a little anger floating between her cold eyebrows and eyes, Song Qingshu couldn't help but panic, "Miss Fifth misunderstood, Qingshu just wanted to help Miss Five, and didn't mean to look down on Miss Five......"
Song Qingshu was not a person with a sharp tongue in the first place, and in a hurry at this time, his words were even more incomprehensible.
"Miaoqin-" Lin Yingxue was displeased, and didn't want to talk to Song Qingshu more, so she called Miaoqin to prepare to send off the guests, but before the words could be spoken, two more people suddenly walked in outside the courtyard.
"Yo, isn't Fifth Miss the fiancΓ©e of His Royal Highness the Third Highness? actually had a private meeting with other men, tsk, look at those jewelry, send such good things over, I don't know where the fifth miss and Song Gongzi have developed? β
Before I saw him, I heard his voice first, and he spoke so harshly, except for her third aunt Tang, I'm afraid there is no one else in this world.
Lin Yingxue lowered her face and looked out, and sure enough, she saw Tang and Lin Yingmeng walking in from outside with a high spirit, and Miao Hua followed the two of them, and said to Lin Yingxue helplessly: "Miss, the third lady and the fourth lady have to break in, and the slave and maid can't stop it......"
"Hmph, it's okay, the courtyard gate of our Liu Mansion is used to stop gentlemen, so naturally we can't stop the beasts." From the moment the Lin family began to fall apart, Lin Yingxue was no longer the fifth lady who could give face to anyone.
Now she is magnanimous enough not to go to the trouble of the Tang family, but the Tang family still has to rush to find and scold, so don't blame her for being ruthless.
"You...... Okay, you Lin Yingxue, who do you say is a brute?! I think you're a little brute, a little brute with a mother and a little brute without a mother! Tang obviously didn't expect Lin Yingxue to dare to speak to her like this, and she scolded all the ugly words in a hurry, not caring that her future son-in-law was still on the side.
"Where did you get the dominatrix, what do you say?! Our young lady just doesn't have a mother to raise, she is pampered and pampered, and she finds a lover. Where are some people, their mothers are like wild dogs, barking in front of other people's houses all day long, wagging their tails and begging for mercy to take them in, tsk, that's a shame! β
Before Lin Yingxue could speak, the angry Miaoqin had already inserted her waist and scolded Tang.
