Chapter 155: Death and Life (1)
"You and I have been working together for a while, and I think I know you well, and although you are still young, you have a very calm style, and you will never take any risks to do anything. It's just that people live for a lifetime, and if you give up just for the sake of peace, then there is nothing to say. ”
Cui Min said lightly, seeing Qiao Lingfeng smiling kindly, and when he heard his evaluation, he didn't say anything.
"You're right."
Qiao Lingfeng said freely.
He was born in white, and it is very rare to be able to sit in the position of a waiter in the Criminal Department at this age. If it weren't for the fact that he had always acted extremely carefully, he was afraid that he would have been plotted early.
"The Criminal Department happened to pile up a few cases on my side, and I stole half a day of leisure, so it's good to come here to hide from those things at home."
Cui Min and Qiao Lingfeng are also colleagues, and they will not turn their faces because of an unsuccessful marriage.
Cui Ying's abacus is to put it to death and then live. Now that the death ground has been set, I don't know when she will be able to live again.
Although he was distressed, he could only watch.
And this afterlife is really rare.
Seeing that Qiao Lingfeng still had nothing to do with himself, and his appearance was hanging high, his heart was very congested.
"Brother Cui, I have a few things to ask you."
Just as Cui Min turned to leave, Qiao Lingfeng called out.
"If I marry Sister Ling, then my relationship with the Cui family will be inseparable, right?"
Fang Cai didn't care about himself, but now when it came to marriage, Cui Min couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so he had to answer obediently: "If you marry Cui Ying, then you are Cui's son-in-law, and naturally you can't get out of the relationship." ”
Hearing this, Qiao Lingfeng sneered.
"You should know that I have always represented the interests of those who came from white clothes in the DPRK. The children of the poor families in the world can see me standing in the center of the court, and they can see how I climbed to my current position step by step. ”
Qiao Lingfeng paused and continued: "But if I marry Sister Ling, then I will become a part of the family in the eyes of the world!" Everything I did before was a joke. I, who are running around for the children of the poor families in the world, am actually the lackey of the family! ”
He said this in a very bland manner, which made people feel sad for no reason.
Cui Min understood his distress.
Indeed, as he said, he said that he really married Cui Ying, then he is no longer a person who can speak for the children of the poor families in the world.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think it through."
Cui Min bowed to him deeply.
Although he has been in the court for a long time, he has never been able to think about problems from Qiao Lingfeng's standpoint, which led to these things.
This time he was willful.
The happiness of his sister and the lofty ambitions of his colleagues, he cannot choose, and he has no right to choose.
Cui Min can only tell Cui Ying, and then she will make a choice.
Putting her to death and coming back to life, Cui Ying's plan is very beautiful, but it's a pity that the person who married her will definitely not be Qiao Lingfeng.
……
Shen Yan was in good health, and it happened that the emperor sent someone to pick her up into the palace at this time, so she picked up some snacks and returned to Daming Palace in a carriage.
Concubine Chen has always liked to eat water chestnut crisp, and the horseshoe crisp in the palace is good, but the horseshoe crisp outside the palace also has a different flavor.
The carriage swayed through the Danfeng Gate, and according to the etiquette system, Shen Yan walked in the long palace road after getting off the car.
Xiaoxing and Fengfang also didn't return to the palace for some days, and after they left the palace, their faces were free and delicate with a face that was very different from the maids in the palace.
Yue Xin waited outside the Zichen Palace, and when he saw Shen Yan and his party from a distance, he hurriedly went up to greet him, and said with a smile: "See Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Your Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
"Lone also misses the royal brother very much."
Shen Yan smiled slightly, raised his feet and entered the hall, and as soon as he entered, he smelled a smell of medicine.
The windows and doors in the hall are closed on all sides, and the curtain hanging straight from the top covers the sunlight outside, making the atmosphere in the hall particularly depressing.
She walked in softly with the hem of her skirt, and when she looked up, she saw the emperor sitting on the throne, closing his eyes and resting.
He heard the sound of the opening and closing of the temple door, and lazily opened his eyes to look, and this time he met Shen Yan's eyes.
I don't know why, Shen Yan always felt that the emperor had a depressed and decadent atmosphere at this time, and a corrosive atmosphere of a dying man.
"Brother Huang, Kang He came to see you, and he brought you pastries from outside."
Anyway, Shen Yan greeted him with a smile and said to the emperor.
She is a qualified actor, and her face is full of enthusiasm at this time, like a sister who is very infatuated with her brother.
Hearing Shen Yan's words, the emperor smiled slightly, stretched out his palm and beckoned to her.
"I summoned you in today for two important things."
The emperor was different today, and he didn't plan to sing a brother-sister scene with Shen Yan, so he said directly.
"Brother Huang, if you have anything, just tell me."
Hearing the emperor say this, Shen Yan put away his smile and stood aside.
"Ahem, my time is numbered, but unfortunately there are still no children in the harem at this time."
"I've heard that you're on good terms with the pony, but are you pregnant?"
The emperor looked at Shen Yan with a pair of hopeful eyes and asked.
In the end, under Shen Yan's embarrassed shaking of his head, the hope in the emperor's eyes was like a flame flickering, shaking twice, and then extinguished.
"Is it true that our children are so thin?"
The Emperor muttered, clearly devastated.
"Brother Huang, I have been married to the horse for less than three months, and it is forgivable that I am not pregnant."
Shen Yan didn't dare to let the emperor be disappointed in her at this time, so he hurriedly said with a smile.
"That's it."
The Emperor waved his hand slightly, not intending to continue the matter.
"Yesterday, Concubine Xian came to me and talked for a while."
Shen Yan immediately pricked up his ears and listened, Concubine Xian is the eldest daughter of the Cui family, and she has always pursued the principle of not making a sound, and she is a blockbuster. The thing that can make her go out in person must not be a trivial matter.
"Concubine Xian said that there is a little sister in her clan, with a beautiful face, who is at a young age at this time and is about to be married. It is also said that the people have always said that the people are happy about red things, and the virtuous concubine asked me to accept her clan sister for the contouring. ”
The emperor has been very ill in recent days, and his speech has been intermittent, and he finally made this passage clear.
Shen Yan was directly stunned.
Concubine Xian actually proposed Na Cui Ying to the emperor? What's going on?
Not to mention that now Cui Ying's heart is all on Qiao Lingfeng, and he has specially set up a dead end, which will not be broken or established.
Concubine Xian herself has been trapped by this deep palace all her life, and now she wants her sister to jump into this fire pit with her?
She only felt cold at this time!
Shen Yan sank his face, his expression was unknown, and the emperor looked at her a little strangely, so he asked, "What's wrong with this matter?" ”
"Brother Huang, Kang He is just an ordinary woman in the back house now, and she doesn't understand any righteousness in the world, she only knows gossip in the streets. It is this gossip in the market, and it is rumored that this Miss Cui family has a heart, and she directly rejected the marriage contract of the son of Lord Cheng of the household department before! ”
