Chapter 170
Qu Muge is the character in the center of the vortex, and the pressure is not on her, but on the Bai family.
The Bai family, as the outer family of Princess Taixuan, is being frantically attacked by the reformers and the old school at this moment.
The matter of Youyang lending usury to force the people to death was revealed, and it was fermented again and again, and the orphans left behind by the deceased were taken to Beijing by the old faction to beat the drums and sue the Bai family.
Fortunately, Bai Yuanhui had already prepared for this case, and the Criminal Department had already detained Bai Sanye for trial, but he could not implicate Taixuan, so he could not participate in her bullying and abusing power for personal gain.
When Emperor Yongdi received the imperial writ, he just said "the criminal department will try it according to law" and sent it away.
With this wave of momentum, the Bai family quickly separated, and the third room was abandoned like an abandonment, and the old lady Bai and the old lady Bai were also forced by the clan elders to officially hand over the position of the head of the family, and the eldest master of the long house inherited it.
Bai Yuanhui's father is a five-grade waiter, who has been hanging his bookbag all his life, and now he is the head of the family, but he is just taking a vacant position for his son.
Tao is focused on Bai Lingting, who is "newly mourned", and all the big and small things in the family fall on Bai Yuanhui and Xie Zhiyin.
Qu Muge heard about the progress of the Bai family, and half-jokingly said to Xie Zhiyin: "I want to thank the Imperial History." ”
Xie Zhiyin smiled bitterly: "Yes, otherwise the clan elders would not have agreed to hand over the position of head of the family so quickly." ”
Qu Muge retracted his joking look and said: "Now that you are in charge, you have to help your cousin quickly sort out all the bad debts of the Bai family, especially the industry in Yanbei, everything that can be handed over to the public will be handed over to the public, and the current life may be more difficult, but it will always get better." ”
Xie Zhiyin nodded and said: "I've already started to deal with it, but I just heard from my husband that it is really difficult to enter and exit Yanbei at this time, and the confrontation between the Xiling Army, the Qiu Qiong Army and the Yanbei Army is very tense, and things are much more difficult to do." ”
Speaking of this, Qu Muge sighed.
Gu Nanye still has no news.
She secretly swallowed her worries and asked instead, "Is Bai Lingting better?" ”
Xie Zhiyin said: "I was about to tell you about her......
This time, Xie Zhiyin entered the palace to meet Taixuan, and outsiders thought that the Bai family had entered the palace to intercede, but she actually took this trip specifically for Bai Lingting.
"It looks like I'm pregnant, but this matter is very important, my mother-in-law and I didn't dare to ask for a doctor, and no one said anything."
King Qingwang went to Yanbei on the third day of his wedding, and if Bai Lingting was really pregnant, she would be really "lucky".
If she really has King Qing's child, it will greatly affect the situation, Qu Muge didn't dare to despise it, and personally invited He Yizheng from Tai Hospital to leave the palace and go to the Bai family together.
Bai Lingting was saddened in bed since she received King Qing's obituary, and was taken back to the Bai family by Tao to recuperate.
The Bai family was in a mess, and except for Tao, who took care of her personally, it did not attract the attention of others.
After Doctor He asked for the pulse, he said very accurately: "Congratulations to the princess, you are pregnant, and it has been three months. ”
Bai Lingting looked a little flustered and a little surprised, but more at a loss.
She lost her usual pretension at the moment, looked at her mother Tao, and then looked at her eldest sister-in-law Xie Zhiyin, and finally her eyes fell on Taixuan, and she said a little weakly: "I didn't expect me to be so miserable, what can we do with our mother and son......"
After saying that, he started crying.
Qu Muge asked Tao and Xie Zhiyin to comfort Bai Lingting first, and personally sent He Yizheng out.
On the way out of the house, she advised: "The Queen Mother and the Father Emperor were deeply hit by the death of King Qing, and now Princess Qing is pregnant, although it is a happy event, but before the child is born safely, it must not be known to outsiders, so as not to have any accidents with the child, and the Queen Mother and the father will be hit again." ”
Doctor He is practicing medicine in the palace, and some things can be understood without saying anything, and at this moment, he got the advice of Princess Taixuan, and he even guaranteed: "What the princess said is very true, Princess Qing's emotions and body are unstable, and the fetus is not good. ”
After sending He Yizheng away, Qu Muge returned to the bedroom, and Bai Lingting's mood had stabilized.
Qu Muge asked Tao to stare at the kitchen to make tonics, and Tao was also very nervous about the child and hurriedly went.
Xie Zhiyin was also ready to avoid it, but Qu Muge left her behind.
Bai Lingting asked with a rare look: "You sent my mother away, yes, what are you going to say?" ”
She was faintly worried that Taixuan would want her to beat the child, after all, this child was the eldest grandson of the emperor, and it would affect her to be the princess!
Qu Muge said to Bai Lingting: "Naturally, I want to talk about the child in your belly." He is your life talisman and your life talisman, it depends on what you think and how you do it. ”
Bai Lingting instantly became nervous and asked, "How, how did it become a talisman!" ”
Qu Muge said cautiously: "King Qing is actually not dead, he has defected, how do you think the imperial court will treat the wife and children of a traitor?" ”
Bai Lingting exclaimed: "Impossible!" ”
Even Xie Zhiyin, who had always been calm, was shocked and held on to the carved railing at the head of the bed.
Qu Muge looked at Bai Lingting quietly and said, "I'm not joking with you, King Qing fled to Qiu Qiong." ”
Bai Lingting grabbed the quilt with both hands and asked tremblingly, "Why...... Is the king of Yanbei chasing him? Or, are you going to kill him? ”
Qu Muge shook his head and told the story that Li Youxian was the widow of the former prince.
“…… After King Qing knew his background, he was so frightened that he absconded overnight, and now even the Hou Ye can't tell where he is hiding. In order to force King Yanbei to hand over the royal power, Hou Ye returned to Beijing with the news of his death, but he did not expect to lead to the queen mother's heart of rebellion. ”
Qu Muge analyzed: "You are pregnant with the queen mother's own great-grandson, if you let her know the existence of this child, she will definitely leave the child to her mother and make a big fuss about this child." But also because of this child, we also have the bargaining chips to have a good talk with the Queen Mother. ”
It was a matter of life and death, and Bai Lingting's head turned quickly.
Now the Queen Mother thinks that her grandson is dead, and she has no scruples, and she just wants to pull Emperor Yongdi off the throne and never let Taixuan covet the throne.
But if she knows that she has a great-grandson, in order to let her great-grandson inherit the throne logically, she will keep the position of Emperor Yongdi and no longer make trouble.
But in this way, Bai Lingting will become the puppet of the Queen Mother, and once the child is born, she may not be able to live.
"I ...... I don't want ...... I can't have this kid! Bai Lingting suddenly shouted hoarsely.
Without this child, whether King Qing dies or not, rebels or not, she is just an abandoned woman, and it has nothing to do with her!
Qu Muge sighed in disappointment and said, "This is your child, are you really so patient?" ”
Bai Lingting shook her head and said, "What can I do if I can't bear it?" Let him be born to live in purgatory? ”
Qu Muge said: "If you believe me, you won't." ”
Bai Lingting shook her head and said, "You still have to lie to me...... You know King Qing's background, but you tricked me into marrying King Qing, you use me as a pawn, and you want to use my child! ”
The more she spoke, the more crazy her tone became, and Qu Muge's eyes became colder and colder.
Qu Muge put away his concerned expression and smiled coldly: "If you talk about exploitation, why don't you want to use me and Gu Hou to fulfill your dream of being a queen?" Life is a transaction, everything is a transaction, and a moment of profit and loss forces you to break the contract? ”
