Chapter 18: Something Happened
Mu Biwei's judgment was wrong.
The next morning, Su Si went out to inquire about the news, and came back with a strange expression: "The prince of Rongchang County and Gao Shangshu are both pleading with His Majesty, and they all admit that their goddaughters are not strict. ”
"How so?" Mu Bi was slightly stunned, although it was said that the maid beside Gao Wanjun was disrespectful to the prince - it was not intentional - after all, Gao Wanjun was only twelve years old, and her personal maid was similar to her age, a maid of this age, trusted and connived by her master, it was not surprising that she was dizzy for a while, Gao Wanjun was grounded and reprimanded was common sense, but if she was executed like this......
Even Mu Biwei felt that it was a little too much.
Su Si also felt very strange, she knew that Gao Jie was such a daughter, and she didn't care about it for such a trivial matter, anyone should think about it more, and besides, Gao Wanjun was disposed of this time, the most direct reason was that the four princes sued, and the four princes were protected by the Su family, and the Gao family just gave up a concubine girl in order not to make the Su family proud! Su Si thought about it and asked, "Niangniang, isn't it the Gao family who was taken by the Su family?" ”
Mu Biwei and Ah Shan glanced at each other, but there was a handle - Princess Anping and Ji Shen - the question was where this handle could be easily leaked? The Su family originally went from Yingzhou to Yedu, the identity of Mrs. Wuyingjun and the relationship between her and the Queen Mother took a great advantage in the Su family and Yedu, the Queen Mother Gao is so face-saving person, Princess Anping is her niece, treated as half a daughter, not to mention, she was full of satisfaction and liked to come over to be the eldest wife, but I didn't expect that the King of Anping was not harmonious at all, and the prince was in his teens and made a fuss about the red apricot out of the wall......
What's even worse is that this princess is not an ordinary wall, this is no longer the news that Empress Dowager Gao doesn't want to see exposed, it is a fact that even the courtiers of the Shi family don't want to believe, although Ji Shen has already had a reputation for being greedy and lustful, but the king, it's okay for more concubines to be recited two sentences, but with the eldest sister-in-law...... Ah Shan hesitated and said, "The slave doesn't think it's very similar, right?" ”
Mu Biwei nodded, if this was the case, Princess Anping would have gone to pray for the palace since the ninth year of Taining, and the people around her had even changed a batch; Second, the Empress Dowager Gao didn't know about this matter, the Su family dared to threaten the Gao family with this, the Gao family simply begged the Empress Dowager to call the shots, the Empress Dowager was close to Mrs. Wuyingjun, but if Mrs. Wuyingjun dared to publicize the matter of Princess Anping and Ji Shen, the Queen Mother could fight hard with this eldest sister!
What's more, didn't Mrs. Wuyingjun rely on helping the Gao family and the Queen Mother hide this matter, so that the Duke of Rongchang County and the County Lady owed her favors, in the battle between the Su family and the Qu family, the Gao family always secretly supported, so that the Qu family capsized?
But if it weren't for Princess Anping's affair...... What could make the Gao family swallow a mouthful of blood so secretly?
The things that she thought she knew were suddenly complicated, Mu Biwei couldn't help but think too much: the appearance of the eldest prince and the second prince is damaged, and it is not a secret inside and outside the palace, not to mention that Gao Wanjun is the princess's companion, and the slaves and maids around her will also follow her into the palace.
Besides, Gao Wanjun is the oldest among the four princesses, why is it her handmaid who has an accident? Isn't that little maid anyone's hands and feet? But if someone used this trick, it was clear that Gao Chuan would take the initiative to ask Ying to go to the northwest...... In this case, the Su family is extremely suspicious, but now Gao Chuan clearly doesn't want to go...... What the hell is going on?
Mu Bi pondered over and over again, even for lunch, he only used some hastily, and in the evening, he was reminded by Ah Shan that Xiping was coming back, so he was ready to praise him, and when he didn't want to wait left and right, Xiping and his party actually didn't return!
"Why are they so playful today?" Mu Biwei asked left and right, it stands to reason that they are still children, and Gao Wanjun's affairs must always be a little embarrassing, right? Originally, Mu Biwei thought that they would return early, but she was bored, she didn't worry too much, after all, there are so many imperial heirs, and the entourage is like a cloud, and this West Pole Mountain hunting ground is not a dangerous place, even if she meets a fierce beast, so many followers are there, do you dare to leave the imperial heirs behind? I don't think anything will happen.
It's just that......
After sunset, the sky quickly darkened, Mu Biwei finally felt that something was wrong, and was about to order the preparation of the horse, when she went to greet her in person, a waiter rushed to report in despair: "Niangniang - His Royal Highness the Third Prince...... His Royal Highness the Third Prince......"
This chamberlain rushed in without mentioning others, just mentioning Ji Kai, and he looked like he was definitely not here to report the good news, and everyone was shocked!
Mu Biwei held Ah Shan's hand, and both of them couldn't stop trembling, but they still asked with the hope of just in case: "What's wrong with Lang?" ”
"His Royal Highness the Third Prince has been hit by a stray arrow!" The chamberlain knelt down, because he was in a hurry, a gust of wind rose from the corner of his robe, and a palace lamp not far away was almost extinguished, after he said this, he immediately knelt down deeply, and did not dare to move!
Mu Biwei only felt that the blood in her whole body was almost instantaneously reversed, her mind was completely blank, and she didn't know how long she had stayed, but she only heard her own voice and subconsciously asked: "How is the injury......" I couldn't wait for the waiter to answer, and I felt that the whole world was spinning......
The exclamations of Su Si and the others seemed to be extremely close and far away in their ears: "Niangniang?!" ”
………………………………………………………………………………………………
The room in the cold palace was extremely dilapidated, under the lamplight, Qu's not beautiful face was plated with a layer of golden glow, but it showed a little beauty, she quickly read the news that should be sent from the Qu family, and smiled slightly: "Since Gao Wanjun is dead, even if Gao Chuan asks for orders to go to the northwest at this moment, he is not afraid, and now this messenger must be Daddy's." ”
She swept her hair and said, "There will be big changes in Ye next, Daddy has to start as soon as possible, and he has to think of a way to end the spring hunt as soon as possible." ”
Feihewei, who was standing with his hands hanging not far away, cautiously asked: "Girl, why can't Gao Chuan ask for his life now?" ”
"If he asks for his life, let our people play to remind His Majesty that he is very likely to have a plot for the revenge of his granddaughter's murder." Qu raised his chin and said with a sneer, "Back then, some people attacked our Qu family, didn't it mean that we didn't have untouched military power except for the Northwest Army?" Where is the Gao family? It is true that the prince of Rongchang County has always been his deputy to Daddy, but Yecheng Army and Feihewei, didn't he interfere? ”
Feihewei muttered: "Even so, if Your Majesty is still disgusted with the Lord......
"No, it won't." Qu Shi said hesitantly, "Your Majesty doesn't have such a good memory!" Unless someone reminds you every day...... I asked the family to prepare the ten pearls, but they are all ready? ”
"It's all set." Feihe Wei said, "The lord is about to ask his subordinates about the girl, these pearls are used for ......"
Qu narrowed his eyes: "Before Nie Zikai comes back, send him to his house!" ”
"Nie Zikai?" Feihewei was stunned.
Qu said peacefully: "Not bad! Mu Qi, Wuying County Prince, Rongchang County Prince, and Daddy, according to our calculations, these are the only four people who have the ability to pick up the northwest, but the world is impermanent! When Mu Qi was escorted back to Yedu when he was out of control, didn't Daddy and Rongchang County Duke also have the idea of fighting in the northwest? But in the end, Ni Zhen got it! Ye Zigui is dead, but in Mu Qi's old department, it is not that there are no people around him who can guard the Snow Blue Pass, Nie Zikai will not help, in case someone comes out casually...... So when are we going to wait?
She warned with a straight face, "Don't talk about the side, back then, everyone thought that after Daddy came back, eight out of ten. Nine is Mu Qi went to Yingzhou, who would have thought that Nie Zikai would actually recommend Lou Wangu? Lou Wangu is a concubine, the Su family can't do anything about him, the eldest princess Xuanning is here, of course the queen mother doesn't hurt the eldest princess! Now the government and the opposition praise Lou Wangu for doing a good job in Yingzhou, and praise him for his talent, but I don't want to think about it, when Daddy came to Yingzhou, it can be said that he was ambushed on all sides, and there is no one who is happy with small things and big things, what about Lou Wangu? He met a little thorny, and privately sent a letter to the eldest princess of Xuanning, and the eldest princess immediately came to the door to ask Mrs. Wuyingjun for help, and Mrs. Wuyingjun agreed slowly, so she went to the queen mother or His Majesty to say that the difficulties were ten times bigger than a hundred times, so as not to blame the horse for making a mistake...... Your Majesty's Sex. Son, where does it matter what the overall situation is not the overall situation? ”
Qu Shi showed contempt, "In addition to beauty and pleasure in his mind, it is too difficult for him to think about him!" It's nothing more than what the people around him say and what he does! With Nie Zikai to help him speak, this matter is safe, this is related to the recovery of my Qu family, and it is just a trivial matter! ”
"It's just that Nie Zikai will help?" Feihewei muttered, "My subordinates heard that he was ...... back then."
"He helped Empress Duanming deal with the Qu family back then." Qu said calmly, "But firstly, Empress Duanming was powerful at that time, and secondly, do you think that Empress Duanming gave him few benefits?" Now that Queen Duanming is dead, he is a person who takes advantage of things, but he is not from the Su family, don't be mistaken! ”
"Yes!" Feihewei was taken aback, and hurriedly said, and then said uneasily, "In this case, is there too few Ten Hu Pearls?" ”
Qu Shi shook his head: "It's a lot, don't talk about it, Nie Zikai is suspicious and gives too many benefits, beware of him suspecting that we will kill people afterwards!" ”
"It's the subordinates who are ignorant." Feihewei said embarrassedly, he has been cultivated by the Qu family for many years, and he has never been in contact with the Qu family in the years when the Qu family was still Zuo Zhaoyi, and he has never been expelled from the court in the struggle and purge between Jiang Wei and Gao Qi, the two commanders of Feihewei, and he is one of the deepest hidden dark lines of the Qu family, and he is also a quick person, but these few proposals have been rejected by the Qu family, and he can't help but feel that he can't get off the stage.
The Biqu clan also said uneasily: "The old housekeeper in Nie Zikai's house, the pearl will be handed over to him, don't talk too much, be humble, you know?" ”
Feihewei didn't say anything more, and took the order to leave.
When he left, Qu Shi picked up the pen alone and drew twice in front of him, looked at the criss-crossing ink on the paper, and said to himself: "I have been hiding this for you for a long time, and I have given you these ten pearls, Nie Zikai, if you are a really smart person, you should know what I mean!" Don't let me down! ”
He frowned for a long time, sighed, and threw away his pen hatefully.
