Chapter 272: Marriage Delayed
Qi Yan said, and sure enough, he saw that the Queen Mother was frowning, and her hands seemed to be pinching something, and then she nodded: "It's indeed a little unlucky, donkey, the mourning family will depend on you again, cough cough, of course, this is also for the princess's face," the Queen Mother said, her eyes wandered, and she looked at Chu Xiaoxiang, as if she was selling her a big favor, and finally her eyes stopped at Helian Chen's body, "Qi Concubine, the mourning family hopes that this is the last time!" ”
"The third day of the next month is a good day, so you can re-organize the marriage at that time......" the Queen Mother added.
"Don't worry, Queen Mother," Qi Yan nodded, thinking to himself.
Originally, he already had the evidence that the prime minister was very likely to rebel, but now that the prime minister's son, Ying Ziye, is not caught, on the third day of the next month, there are just more than ten days before now, and he doesn't believe that there will be no disturbances in the prime minister's mansion!
"It's refreshing, don't go back when the time comes, don't think that the mourning family doesn't know what you're thinking," the Queen Mother hooked the corners of her mouth with a smile, and then looked at Chu Xiaoxiang again, and said to the concubine Qiyan: "Let's go, leave with the princess Dyeong!" But you have to take care of her, but don't let her get in trouble, you know? ”
The Queen Mother said, Helian Chen was stunned and nodded.
But as soon as he turned around and left Yonghe Palace with Chu Xiaoxiang, he was shocked into a cold sweat in his heart, Chu Xiaoxiang was a little surprised, looking at Helian Chen, I don't know what the hell he was doing, he looked a little worried along the way, so she raised her hand, shook it in front of Helian Chen and said, "Hey the horse, what are you thinking?" What's wrong with you, why do you look preoccupied? ”
Helian Chen was taken aback by Chu Xiaoxiang, so he grabbed Chu Xiaoxiang's hand tightly and said, "Princess, don't worry, I will definitely take care of you." I won't let anyone hurt you, not even the Queen Mother! ”
"Huh? Queen Mother, she wants to hurt me? Chu Xiaoxiang pretended to be surprised, and blinked lightly at Helianchen, Helianchen pursed his lips, looking a little silent, but he knew that the Queen Mother might have referred to something to him just now.
On the third day of the next month, it is really the last day for him to marry Ying Ning, but if he wants to return, will the Queen Mother threaten Chu Xiaoxiang?
No, he must not let this happen like this, with him, no one can hurt half of the princess's hair!
Qi Yan subconsciously grabbed Chu Xiaoxiang's hand, she squeezed out an "ouch" between her lips and teeth, and when Qi Yan came back to her senses, she unconsciously raised her hand and scratched her hair, and asked Chu Xiaoxiang with a concerned face: "I'm sorry, princess, are you okay?" ”
Chu Xiaoxiang shook her head suddenly, she pursed her lips, but she was even more sure that this Helian Chen must be hiding something, and she must dig it out if she has the chance.
At this time, Ying Zhao in the Prime Minister's Mansion suddenly heard that Ying Ziye had been arrested and Ying Ning's marriage had been delayed, and he was confused, thinking that there must be someone in this who was making a ghost.
Could it be the horse Qiyan, or someone else? Ying Zhao shook his head, feeling that the horse Qiyan and himself had no grievances in the past and no enmity in the near future, not to mention that nine out of ten men were lustful.
His daughter Ying Ning is not ugly, on the contrary, there is still a bit of the temperament of a beautiful woman, if it were not for Ying Ning's high heart, people who have not been from the royal family since childhood do not marry, and there is an endless stream of rich sons who pursue her, and they can be lined up from the palace to the outskirts of the capital.
But now that she is married to Qiyuma, Ying Ning will be so difficult, Ying Zhao rubbed his hands while feeling sorry for his children, feeling that he couldn't just sit still and wait to die.
Thinking of this, he grabbed the door and walked towards the palace, but when he entered the palace, the queen mother actually asked people to guard outside the door and rejected him: "The queen mother said that she is a little tired today, let the prime minister come back tomorrow morning." ”
Ying Zhao was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said to the waiter Li Gonggong next to the Queen Mother: "But please go and inform me again, just say that Weichen Ying Zhao has an urgent matter and is about to be announced!" ”
Gonggong Li said impatiently: "Please go back, the queen mother said, you are here today, you don't need to inform her." She also specifically named you! ”
Ying Zhao was dumbfounded, he was rejected by the Queen Mother for the first time in decades since he entered the palace, thinking that the Queen Mother had arrested his son, but he didn't see him, could it be that he was upset about this matter?
He was a little angry, and suddenly said to this Li Gonggong: "Li Gonggong, since the Queen Mother is gone, then Weichen has to wait for tomorrow." But can you ask more," Ying Zhao said, coughing suddenly, taking out a piece of snowflake silver from his body and handing it to the other party, "Gonggong Li, can you tell me if the princess and the concubine have been to the palace today and seen the queen mother?" ”
Gonggong Li took the silver handed by Ying Zhao, looked around, and saw that no one noticed him, so he bit down on the silver hard, and soon his eyes suddenly lit up, this silver was actually real!
Although Gonggong Li was secretly happy in his heart, he raised his hand to wipe his nose, and pretended to say casually: "Prime Minister, I didn't say you, how can you inquire about the princess and the concubine?" ”
As he spoke, he looked at Ying Zhao and said: "They did come today, but what they said, the slave family didn't hear clearly, if you really want to know, you can come again tomorrow, enter the palace and ask the queen mother." ”
"Enter the palace tomorrow?" Ying Zhao was slightly stunned, handed over the remaining money bags on his body to Gonggong Li's hands, and said to him: "Gonggong Li has worked!" ”
"Okay then," Gonggong Li took the money bag with a quiet face, and said to Ying Zhao: "Prime Minister Ying, it's not the slave family who said you, the slave family also looks at your painstaking degree, and advises you, you have to discipline your son well." Ying Ziye, the Queen Mother was angry today, saying that if it weren't for your sake, he would have led troops to break into the princess's mansion, and he would have lost his head a long time ago! However, according to the slave family, the Queen Mother was also upset about this matter at this time, so the infant prime minister still didn't bother her! ”
Ying Zhao nodded, pursed his thin lips lightly, and said, "Since this is the case, then Ying Zhao will leave first." However, if you wait for the Queen Mother to be in a better mood in the future, there will be Father-in-law Lao Li, who will say a few more words for the Queen Mother in front of the Queen Mother! ”
Although Li Changde secretly scolded Ying Zhao in his heart, the old fox, but who made him love money, since the silver that was finally obtained, where is the reason to easily take it back? This is really in response to that sentence, take people with short hands and eat people with short mouths!
Li Changde nodded and said, "Okay, Prime Minister, don't worry, I will definitely ......"
Li Changde turned around and entered the palace as he spoke, but Ying Zhao listened to everything in his ears, it turned out that everything today was related to Princess Ji Range.
Originally, he didn't want to target Ji Range, but since Ji Range didn't know what bad things he said about him in front of the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother didn't even see him now.
Ying Zhao narrowed a pair of scheming eyes, blinked, and said to himself a little: "Princess Ji, let's come to the future, let's see!" ”
Chu Xiaoxiang stood in place and sneezed deeply, when she was sneezing, although she felt that this sneeze was a little strange, it was not windy or cold today, she would not suffer any wind cold.
Could it be that someone is chanting her name in the distance, and she feels it, so it's like this?
Chu Xiaoxiang thought of this, rubbed his nose, and suddenly saw Helian Chen standing at the door of the room, with an awe-inspiring frowning face.
Helian Chen looked as if he had something on his mind, Chu Xiaoxiang stood on tiptoe and walked towards him, originally wanting to surprise him, but unexpectedly, she was about to walk into him, Helian Chen suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her.
Chu Xiaoxiang rubbed his nose and said to Helian Chen, "Lian Chen is actually nothing, I just suddenly remembered something and wanted to ask you!" ”
Seeing that he was about to surprise Helian Chen, but was suddenly caught by the other party, Chu Xiaoxiang hurriedly changed the topic.
"Oh?" Helian Chen was surprised, hooked the corners of his lips, and looked at Chu Xiaoxiang.
Chu Xiaoxiang pursed the corners of his mouth and said to Helian Chen: "Don Ma, you have a wide range of doors in the palace and know many people. Are you familiar with the procurement in the palace? ”
"Procurement in the palace?" Helian Chen looked at Chu Xiaoxiang with a slightly surprised face, only to see her lightly bowed, and said to him: "Well, I have some animals and plants here, which were purchased in the palace before, but last month the procurement was suddenly replaced by a newcomer, so can you help me?" ”
As Chu Xiaoxiang was talking, she took out a pen and paper and wrote down all the "money, white flowers, snake gall, beehives", "scorpions", "centipedes" and "strychnines" that she had seen in the library of the Ministry of Classics that might kill her brother Ji Dyingyu.
The ancestors of Ma Qiyan's family are all practicing medicine, and when he first saw the list given to him by Chu Xiaoxiang, there were so many things related to poison.
He looked at Chu Xiaoxiang with a slightly surprised expression: "Princess, what do you want these for?" ”
Chu Xiaoxiang pursed her red lips, it is true that she didn't think about letting Helian Chen do these things, all this at the moment was just to match the plot she had just made.
"I want to give it a try," Chu Xiaoxiang said with a raised face, "Huh? Give it a try, but the princess is highly poisonous. ”
Thinking of this, Helian Chen suddenly grabbed Chu Xiaoxiang's arm and said to her, "Princess, is it because I haven't spoiled you during this period of time that you think of getting those poisons." Did you know that those things don't seem to be poisonous, but they can ...... over time?"
Seeing Helian Chen say this, after speaking, his eyes were still full of worry and doubt and looked at Chu Xiaoxiang, Chu Xiaoxiang bit his lip and said: "I can't hide it, these are the little eunuchs who served by my brother's side when he was alive, I am very confused, so I want to find and study it......"
Chu Xiaoxiang said while looking at Helianchen, Helianchen hooked his thin lips slightly, as if looking at Chu Xiaoxiang in some incredulity.
"Princess, you want to study this, for your brother's death?"
He nodded, and said to Chu Xiaoxiang: "In the future, you can leave these things to me, I just feel very sorry for you, look at you recently, you are darker and thinner than before, so ugly ......" He was about to say, Chu Xiaoxiang should not continue to worry about Ji Ranyu's affairs, just stay in this princess's mansion and be a princess with peace of mind.
