Chapter 20 Calculations
It has been half a year since he returned to Ye City, and the army sent out by Xiao Mo to follow the Heavenly Wolf Department has made gains, explored the habits of this tribe and the weaknesses of the march, and collected evidence of their dealings with the prince.
"Third brother, you have to submit the evidence to your father."
Xiao Xun has been in secret contact for a long time, and now he is very angry with the evidence of the prince's collaboration with the enemy.
Xiao Mo said with a smile: "If you are beaten by the prince, the gains outweigh the losses, keep it first, there will always be a time to use it." ”
Over the years, Xiao Mo has already figured out the temperament of the Light Saint Emperor, and if he is not completely sure, the prince will not be able to move.
After collecting the evidence, Xiao Mo poured a cup of tea for Xiao Xun and said, "Put the prince's in advance, I remember that there is a concubine in your mansion who was born in the opera troupe?"
"There is one, why did the third brother ask about this?"
"You can help me arrange it, and let this troupe arrange the lively events of the past few days into a play for Cheng Jingsi to see."
Xiao Xun was puzzled and asked, "Why is this?"
"Earn money."
Xiao Mo picked up the teacup and took a sip, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and couldn't help but move his gaze to the inner hall.
Xiao Xun was confused, but as long as it was something Xiao Mo ordered, he would do it, this was a tacit understanding between brothers.
"Third brother, this time the prince designed you to marry Liu Wuwu, is there any trouble?"
"It's okay, if she dares to make any changes, I'll give her the phantom medicine."
Xiao Mo's eyes were full of coldness, this phantom medicine was a strange poison developed by Qianying, and the poisoned person was slow to move, his mind was sluggish, and he was basically a wasted person.
"That'll be fine." Xiao Xun has always disliked the queen, and even the people in her family are disgusted, and now Liu Wuwu has become his nominal third sister-in-law, which makes him even more uneasy.
"Speaking of which, there are only concubines in your house, not even a side concubine, but there is a favorite girl, and the third brother will help you Zhang Luo."
"Not really."
Xiao Xun has been marching outside all the year round, and since he was a child, he has witnessed the queen harming his mother, and the women he comes into contact with are all vicious and ruthless, where do he still have the heart to like others.
Xiao Mo understood what Xiao Xun was thinking, and it was not difficult for him, "Take your time." ”
"If I have to marry a concubine, then I must marry a woman who will help us."
"You, after all, haven't understood the relationship between men and women."
Xiao Xun and Xiao Mo chatted a few more words before they walked out of King Heng's Mansion and went straight to the direction of the troupe.
Three days later, it was rumored in the city that Miss Cheng hanged herself, but fortunately she found it in time and was rescued.
Xia Man heard the rumors and hurriedly found Xiao Mo, "If she dies, there will be no play." ”
"What's the hurry, the Cheng family won't let her have anything to do." Xiao Mo sat in front of the desk, leisurely drawing geese on rice paper, very comfortable.
"Then how to help Qin Siya find his heart?"
"You don't have to worry about this, I think the surname Qin should have been mixed up with the Cheng Mansion at this time."
With the last stroke of the feather, Xiao Mo couldn't draw it well, so he called Xia Man, "You help me draw." ”
"I'm not good at Danqing strokes."
Xiao Mo shook his head, dragged Xia Man to her, and taught her to draw feathers hand in hand, "No, just study hard." ”
So, in Yiyun Palace, the two of them shared a stroke, painting wild goose feathers, such a fine work, but it was difficult for Xia Man, but it was the prince's request, and he didn't dare to object, so he had to hold back his temperament, and followed Xiao Mo's hand with a stroke, which was very torturous.
Cheng's mansion has been covered with dark clouds recently, but Cheng's father still has to accompany the smiling face to greet the family of the general of the country.
"What a big thing, still looking for death and life, how did you teach your daughter." The general who protects the country is the first to attack, forcing Cheng's father to accompany him carefully.
"The little girl can't think about it for a while, but the lady has already comforted her, and I hope that my in-laws will forgive me."
Lin Feng's tone was full of mockery, "It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, and it's like this before he gets married, if he becomes a relative, wouldn't it be even worse, it's not good for women to be jealous." ”
"What the prince said is that he will discipline the little girl well in the future."
Cheng's father lowered his posture as much as possible, although he was a relative of the concubine, but the family of the protector of the country really didn't dare to offend, and he didn't dare to offend in his words, and he didn't say anything about his daughter.
In the backyard, Cheng Jingsi leaned motionless on the eaves of the window, the whole person lost her blood, and the strangulation marks around her neck were very conspicuous.
"Silent Silk." Qin Siya pretended to be a little girl and came to bring her food.
Cheng Jingsi ignored the comers, still silent.
Qin Siya approached, touched her wound with pity, and said bitterly: "Why hurt yourself." ”
The temperature from her neck made Cheng Jingsi have a slight look, and she looked at the person in front of her and was a little surprised, "Why are you here?" ”
Qin Siya scooped some of the bird's nest porridge in his hand and fed it to her, and said, "Eat something, your body is important." ”
"It's better to die." Cheng Jingsi avoided the spoon containing the bird's nest porridge, and tears welled up in her eyes.
"Do you really have to be him?" The feeling of loss hit his heart, and he couldn't help but feel heartache, Qin Siya covered his heart, and his head was covered with fine sweat in an instant.
"You go, the joy of men and women, reluctantly."
Miss Cheng grew up in the powerful since she was a child, and witnessed the luxury of Concubine Cheng, when she first met Qin Siya, she only thought that he was an ordinary rich and noble family, where would she be more relieved about him, and for Lin Feng, I am afraid it is also a choice of choice.
Qin Siya put down the porridge bowl and froze in place, his heartache was so bad that he couldn't support it and ran away from the door.
After discussing with the Lin family, the Cheng family decided to marry according to the original wedding date to calm the turmoil, and Cheng Jingsi also acquiesced to this result and only waited to get married.
"Since she resisted to the death, why did she marry Lin Feng." Xia Man poured Xiao Mo a cup of tea, really puzzled.
"If you really want to resist to the death, who can save it, most likely it is to scare Lin Feng so that he can restrain him." Although Xiao Mo is not romantic, he has heard and seen a lot about these methods of women.
"It's really not angry, it's just that my one hundred taels of silver is in vain." Xia Man supported his head with both hands, looking like he hated iron but not steel.
"Lin Feng is afraid that it is her second choice, you say, if there is a chance to become the crown prince's side concubine, what will happen to her?" Xiao Mo suddenly thought of a plan to kill two birds with one stone.
"You're going to take advantage of her? Not so good. Although Xia Man didn't like Cheng Jingsi, he was also afraid of hurting Qin Siya's heart, after all, this person was still good.
"It's just to create a chance for her, as for how to choose, in her own hands, no one can influence her thoughts, you say yes." Xiao Mo got up, straightened his clothes, called Xia Man, and went to find Qianying.
Hidden in the northwest corner of the city, the Illusion Pavilion is an inn on the surface, but there are layers of secret rooms underneath, with spies and forces from all sides.
Chikage was lying in the private room on the second floor at this time, fiddling with her little abacus and muttering in her mouth.
Xiao Mo pushed open the door and saw such a scene, picked up the pear on the table and threw it at Qianying, who knows, Qianying turned sideways, and the pear fell firmly on the palm of his hand.
"You can't knock on the door, no courtesy." Chikage got up, took the abacus in his arms, yawned, and nibbled on the pear in his hand.
Xiao Mojing sat down and said, "What does it mean to you whether you knock or not, with your internal strength, within a radius of five miles, you can't hear anything." ”
Xia Man was amazed by Xiao Mo's description, and couldn't help but look at Qianying, in his impression, people with strong martial arts have a chivalrous spirit, but he is beautiful and strong, and his voice and appearance are beautiful.
Seeming to feel Xia Man's gaze, Qianying smiled and said, "King Heng, is your maid interested in me?"
Xia Man hurriedly retracted his gaze, and was about to speak, but Xiao Mo preemptively said: "Don't worry, how can a wealth fan be interested in a wealth fan." ”
"Hahaha......"
After hearing this, Qianying couldn't help laughing, knowing Xia Man a little more.
"Okay, let's get down to business, tomorrow is the prince's birthday, the prince's mansion will invite the Quartet, and Cheng Mansion is also among them, you want to find a way to let Cheng Jingsi and the prince meet alone."
"It's not that hard to do, but what about the pay?" Qianying took out the small abacus in his arms, crackled and played the abacus, and finally placed the abacus in front of Xiao Mo, "This number." ”
Xiao Mo stretched out his hand to zero the abacus, pushed it in front of Qianying, and said, "A few days ago, the prince got a South China Sea blue pearl and put it in the room of his favorite concubine Hu, which is a rare treasure. ”
A look of surprise burst out in Qianying's eyes, and he put away his abacus again, "Deal." ”
Xia Man looked at these two people, crying and laughing, using other people's things to calculate others, but they are really a pair of living treasures.
