Chapter 137: It's hard to get back if you leave someone behind
After beating Shi Xia, Qi Changrong entered the study, and there were a lot of various folds on the desk that she was not in a hurry to deal with, all of which she had accumulated in the time she had left.
There was almost no time to catch his breath, Qi Changrong buried his head in official business again, and waited until it was dark, the moon was on the top, and the folds on the table were only a small half.
And in the few hours that she was in the study, there was a silent bloody storm in the East Palace, and it was the servant Xia who moved his heart of compassion that provoked this bloody storm.
After dealing with the last person, Shi Xia was a little depressed.
Knowing the reason for the incident, Luo Yi was still beside him and said cool words: "I have warned you a long time ago, Your Highness can't tolerate sand in his eyes." ”
"I expected Her Highness to be angry, but I didn't expect her to be so angry." Shi Xia sighed and said his previous plan: "I originally wanted to wait for His Highness to come back and just find an excuse to get rid of those eyeliners, but who would have thought that things would become like today. ”
"Your Highness did nothing wrong, it was Zhao Xun who was too indecisive for you." Luo Yi calmly told the facts: "The East Palace is embattled, it is the most dangerous place in the palace, the slightest mistake is a disaster, if it were me, I would not let those people have the opportunity to step into the East Palace at all." ”
Shi Xia frowned in annoyance, looking like he was about to cry: "Don't talk about it, let's help me think about it, what should I do to make His Highness angry!" ”
Luo Yi glanced at Shi Xia, and said disdainfully: "Your Highness, a dignified seven-foot man, has an open mind, naturally today's business is finished today, as long as you act according to her orders, there will be nothing tomorrow morning." ”
"......" Shixia was silent.
It's that she forgot, Luo Yi is so stupid that he can't even tell the difference between male and female, and how can he know how to coax people?
The girl frowned in disgust, her eyes full of dissatisfaction.
"You don't believe me?" Luo Yi raised an eyebrow.
Shi Xia didn't speak, and his expression expressed everything.
"Wait and see, as long as Your Highness doesn't bring up this matter again tomorrow, then this matter will be over."
Men know men best.
As a man who stands up to the sky, he naturally can't care about women, especially his own women.
If you have a small belly, how can you call it a big husband?
Shi Xia didn't want to believe it, but when she was anxiously serving Qi Changrong for dinner on the second day, she really didn't say a word, and yesterday's anger was no longer visible between her eyebrows.
As a result, Shi Xia didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
If this continues, maybe Your Highness will completely forget the fact that she is a woman, is it good or bad?
However, before she could think it through, Ji Fang sent a message in: "Your Highness, Mrs. Yang is here, and now I am waiting for you in the main hall." ”
Qi Changrong put down the jade chopstick, wiped the corners of his lips, and said lightly: "Good life is waiting, Lone will come soon." ”
As she spoke, the palace maid rushed in, and the leftovers on the table were removed one by one.
Qi Changrong got up and walked slowly.
Shi Xia was shocked and wanted to keep up.
However, the former's footsteps moved slightly, and he said to her in a flat tone: "Compile the events of the past two months into a book, and wait for a while." ”
"......" Shi Xia pursed his lips and said yes helplessly.
She knew that it would be like this, His Royal Highness was naturally resentful, how could this matter be so easy to pass, it seemed that she would have to be cold for a while.
The East Palace became more and more calm, and they naturally found that overnight, there were many people missing from the East Palace, and those who had just arrived disappeared for no reason.
But no one dared to mention it, and they all kept silent, doing their part with peace of mind, as if they didn't know anything.
In this deep palace, only by saying less and doing more can you live a long time.
There are two palace maids serving in the main hall, Yang Yishu is sitting on a good sandalwood chair, but he is like sitting on pins and needles, and he has been moving around uneasily, without the slightest demeanor of Taifu.
Qi Changrong walked in from the outside and sat on the main seat without squinting.
The person next to her hurriedly served a cup of hot tea, and she took it and pecked it shallowly: "What is the matter with Taifu's trip to find a lonely place?" ”
Her words were indifferent, and her attitude was more detached than two months ago.
Sensing the estrangement of the East Palace, Yang Yishu felt bitter in his heart, his mind was settled, and he slowly said after considering the words: "I heard that His Royal Highness returned to Beijing this time and left a few of the 100-person team in the southeast, I don't know if this news is true or false?" ”
"Really." Qi Changrong nodded, his eyes were lazy, but he didn't even mean to be empty and wrong.
"Your Highness, why is that? They set out with His Highness, and they should return to Beijing together. ”
Having said that, Qi Changrong still didn't understand anything.
Yang Yishu is cautious and selfish, and he dares to find the East Palace at this moment, for fear that he will be forced by those families who have taken refuge in him.
It's just that although she knows, she can't say it at this time, after all, Yang Yishu still has a lot of use value for her, if she tears her face, this game will lose its fun.
Qi Changrong looked at Yang Yishu, who was looked at by her gaze, and there was a touch of embarrassment on his face, and after thinking about it, he pretended to explain unintentionally: "They are all sons of a family, and they are favored at home, is it a little inappropriate to leave them in the southeast?" ”
In Shangjing, in addition to the courtiers who do not enter the oil and salt, the most difficult thing to deal with is the family.
If the family unites to make trouble, the emperor will have a headache.
Qi Changrong knew his careful thoughts, and asked slowly: "In the eyes of Taifu, is the lonely East Palace important, or the outside family is important?" ”
Isn't this knowingly asked?
The East Palace is the future emperor of a country, and the appearance of prosperity is just around the corner, while the family is gradually declining, and it may disappear without a trace after dozens or hundreds of years.
There is no comparison between the two.
Yang Yishu's eyes flickered, and he said calmly: "Naturally, the prince is more important." ”
Qi Changrong pressed step by step: "Then why did Taifu question Yu Gu because of the son of the family?" ”
"Your Highness is serious." Yang Yishu hurriedly defended himself: "The minister is afraid that this matter will affect the reputation of the prince, so he asked this question." ”
"Reputation?" Qi Changrong chuckled: "I don't care about Lonely, what does Taifu still care about?" ”
Indeed, since the beginning of the previous year, Her Highness has already left her reputation behind, and she doesn't care what the people in front of her will say, nor do she care how the family will target her.
Being able to climb to the position of Taifu, Yang Yishu's deep mind is naturally very incomparable, he has both wrists and brains, and he has already sensed that Donggong is in a bad mood at this time.
After a little thought, he guessed the reason why she was in a bad mood.
At the same time, Yang Yishu's heart sank.
That was also the most serious crux of his mind at this time.
Yang Yishu's expression was solemn, looking like a storm was coming, the smile on Qi Changrong's lips suddenly changed to a cold feeling, and she said, "Besides, Taifu really doesn't know why Gu left them in the southeast?" ”
Yang Yishu's heart moved, and he hurriedly said: "Please also ask Your Highness to make it clear." ”
Qi Changrong's fingers slowly rubbed the mouth of the cup, and said slowly: "There was a shortage of food in Huangsha City, Taifu should know, right?" ”
He naturally knew that that batch of grain almost became a handle to blackmail the East Palace.
Yang Yishu clenched his palms, sweating nervously on his forehead.
Donggong took the initiative to mention this matter, which was equivalent to giving him a choice, either to abandon the family, or to give up his status in Donggong and the trust of the future emperor.
Qi Changrong lowered his eyes thoughtfully.
She wanted to see if the matter had come to this, did Yang Yishu continue to protect the family, or would he want to get himself out of this matter cleanly?
Seeing this, Yang Yishuhao did not hesitate to drag the family out and become his substitute ghost.
He suddenly knelt on the ground, slammed his forehead on the ground, and repented with a look of chagrin: "Your Highness, the minister has been wronged!" The grain was donated by the family, and they made a request, and the minister had no way to refuse. ”
"Oh? But according to Han Yu, all this is what Taifu meant. Qi Chang's face was pale, and his eyes couldn't see joy or anger.
Yang Yishu gritted his teeth, his heart was ruthless, and he reprimanded: "Han Yu is the son of a family, he is naturally oriented to the family, how can His Highness believe what he says!" ”
Qi Changrong narrowed his eyes slightly: "What does Taifu mean, Han Yu deceived Gu?" ”
"Please also ask Your Highness to be clear, the minister is loyal to His Highness, if that batch of grain is the minister's, the minister will naturally take His Highness first!" Yang Yishu said sonorously and powerfully, and he looked loyal.
Qi Changrong was skeptical, as if he was about to be persuaded by him: "Ether Fu Zhizun, you can't even handle a few families?" ”
Seeing that she was finally a little shaken, not as aggressive as before, Yang Yishu breathed a sigh of relief, but still didn't dare to be careless, and hurriedly continued: "In the end, it is a family, even Your Majesty will give it some face, let alone Weichen." ”
"Get up, too."
After thinking about it for a while, Qi Changrong slowly put down the teacup and reached out to help him.
It seemed to accept his explanation.
Yang Yishu was temporarily relieved, and stood aside respectfully.
Looking at him like this, Qi Changrong said suspiciously: "Since the family is so rampant, it is also appropriate to teach them some lessons, why should the Taifu stand up for them?" ”
"It's not for them." Yang Yishu knew that this matter had to be clarified, even if his original intention was so, he could only change his strategy at this time: "The minister is afraid that they will join forces with His Highness to join the next book." ”
Qi Changrong replied lazily: "How they love, just wait alone." ”
Hearing this, Yang Yishu couldn't help but have nothing to say.
Besides, if he continues to talk about it, I'm afraid that in Donggong's heart, he and those families will be in the same group.
Yang Yishu sighed secretly, but he also knew that he couldn't go too far, just at this moment, Ji Fang hurriedly walked from outside: "Your Highness, the imperial study has sent a summoning order, Your Majesty asked you to go to Xingqing Palace for dinner." ”
"Xingqing Palace?" Qi Changrong raised his head and stared at Ji Fang, his brows furrowed: "How could my father be there with my mother?" ”
"This ...... The slave doesn't know. Ji Fang replied in embarrassment, the people in the entire palace knew that Concubine Qin was not favored, and His Majesty couldn't go twice a year, how did he know why His Majesty suddenly went there.
Besides, who would dare to speculate rashly about the meaning of the Son of Heaven?
Even if everyone in the palace was curious, no one dared to open their mouths to ask, so he naturally had no way to inquire about the news.
