Chapter 195: A Test of Willpower
After talking for a while, the main thing was to talk about the marriage between Xie Qingyuan and Ji Jingyan, it seems that Ruan Cailing is not the only one who is embarrassed about this matter, even the emperor is very worried, Ruan Cailing said to Mu Yizuo, "Since it is no longer controllable, let Xie Qingyuan and Anyang County get married." β
Even if they don't get married, now that the two of them are living in King Ping's courtyard, it is inevitable that someone will have to make irresponsible remarks, even if it is to settle the gossip, King Ping will definitely let An Yang and Xie Qingyuan get married quickly.
So it's better to just watch where they go in the future.
"So, you're all going? It is estimated that my ninth brother will definitely be there at that time, so I don't think I will go. Mu Yizuo said.
Now Mu Yizuo and Mu Yichen's form, although they can't see anything on the surface, but in fact they are incompatible, the ministers of the court and the central government all know that these two people have their own backers, but except for Ruan Cailing and a few of them, no one knows what the emperor thinks.
Watching Mu Yichen make a play, the emperor also wanted to know how far Mu Yichen could go in order to get the throne.
This also means that after Mu Yizuo ascends to the throne in the future, Mu Yichen will still be alive.
Now that everything that should be said is finished, Mu Yizuo got up and prepared to leave, Mu Yizuo glanced at Ruan Cailing and said, "I remember what I told you." β
"yes, I know." Ruan Cailing nodded, and Ruan Xuchen sent Mu Yizuo out.
Gu Jinxi in the private room was silent for a moment before asking Ruan Cailing, "What did Mu Yizuo tell you?" β
Ruan Cailing glanced sideways at Gu Jinxi, and fanned her nose with her hand, "What's the matter?" I smell a lot of vinegar in this room! Lord Shizi, aren't you? Are you still eating the vinegar of the Three Princes? β
After speaking, Ruan Cailing smiled when she saw Gu Jinxi's embarrassed appearance, she got up and walked to Gu Jinxi's side, hugged Gu Jinxi's neck with both hands, and fell directly into Gu Jinxi's arms, the two of them could see the crowd below by leaning on the railing, but Ruan Cailing didn't care.
She is already engaged to Gu Jinxi, and she is Gu Jinxi's rightful fiancΓ©e, so it doesn't hurt to behave intimately.
However, Gu Jinxi had to hug Ruan Cailing tightly, saving her from accidentally falling down if she moved in her arms, Gu Jinxi felt that her willpower had been sublimated, and every time she was alone with Ruan Cailing, it was a challenge to his endurance.
"Be honest, don't move around." Gu Jinxi's hand patted Ruan Cailing's waist lightly or heavily.
In her previous life, she was also married, Ruan Cailing immediately understood what Gu Jinxi meant, and immediately didn't dare to move, she still hung Gu Jinxi's neck with her arms in Gu Jinxi's arms, and said to him, "Mu Yizuo is nothing more than talking about Mu Yichen's recent developments." β
At these times, Mu Yichen frequently went out of the palace and didn't know if it was because he wanted to see Li Chuqing or to do other things, many people said that Mu Yichen's people were mixed in the Yanhua Building just to spy on her.
In addition to Mu Yichen saying that he was interested in her and wanted to get her, this matter also made Ruan Cailing feel worried.
There are all the three sects and nine streams in the entire Yanhua Building, and there is no shortage of Mu Yichen's henchmen, but the bad thing is that she doesn't know who the person is, she is not worried about herself, but she is worried about what will happen if they find out the identities of Xiyin and Ling Feng and others?
So after she went to Fengyue Tower and saw Cangxi, she bought Cangxi and gave Cangxi an identity.
Just to confuse the public, if there were Mu Yichen's people here, they would definitely be curious about her move to buy Cangxi, and they would definitely check Cangxi's identity, which would distract them, at least they wouldn't be eyeing Xiyin and Ling Feng so soon.
Gu Jinxi said, "It doesn't matter, there are also your eldest brother's people in Jiangnan Restaurant, now there is turmoil in the court, people's hearts are impetuous, no one can say who is standing next to them, whose door they are entering, they must be careful and vigilant, even Wen Rushi is the same, it is difficult." β
It is precisely because of this that Ruan Cailing pondered that she had to think of a way for Wen Rushi so that he could stand firmly in his current position.
Under the urging of Xie Qingyuan and Mu Yichen's henchmen, many people now say that Wen Rushi is in a high position as soon as he becomes the champion, and he is not worthy of standing in this position at all.
In the final analysis, it is because Wen Rushi has not done anything to convince people.
Ruan Cailing and Gu Jinxi are trying to find a way to make Wen Rushi neutral and powerful in the court, but Wen Rushi is a civil official and not a military attache after all, which is more troublesome.
If you talk about the military attachΓ©, it would be good to bring troops to fight a battle in the border turmoil, and after coming back, naturally no one would dare to disobey his identity, but the civil official is more troublesome, Rao has the support of King Xuan and Dingguo Gong, and after all, it is not as good as doing a good thing by himself.
"I remember that there is a small country in the east, although it does not dare to invade on a large scale, but in fact, it has always been flying in our most remote towns, why don't you let Wen Rushi think of a countermeasure and take them to the knife?" Ruan Cailing said.
Now that he has talked about the matter, Ruan Cailing naturally came out of Gu Jinxi's arms, and when Ruan Xuchen came back, he saw the two of them sitting in an orderly manner, talking about Wen Rushi.
When Ruan Xuchen heard it, he said, "You said it was too late." β
He and Gu Jinxi had heard before they came out of the palace that this was what they said in the court today, and the emperor also praised Xie Qingyuan for being able to solve problems for him.
At this time, because of Xie Qingyuan and Ji Jingyan's marriage, Xie Qingyuan has been mentioned quite a lot.
"Xie Qingyuan? What did he think of himself? Or did King Ping tell him? Ruan Cailing asked.
This is unknown, but the emperor handed over this matter to Xie Qingyuan with full responsibility, and ordered many officials to obey Xie Qingyuan's dispatch, which has already given Xie Qingyuan great power, and I don't know if it is because Xie Qingyuan is really so popular with the emperor.
Or to give King Ping face.
In short, the form in the court is on Xie Qingyuan's side.
In contrast, Wen Rushi, the new champion, is much more deserted, and no one supports him, and he has no achievements.
"It's only been a long time! There are many people who have been moths in the court for so many years and have made no achievements, what achievements do you expect from a newly appointed champion? It's true, this group of old ministers love to have nothing to do. β
After finishing speaking, Ruan Cailing looked at the cup in her hand, thought about it, and suddenly looked up and said to Gu Jinxi as if she had thought of something, "Since your Tianji Pavilion can get information, is there anything inevitable in a few towns on the edge?" β
Gu Jinxi thought for a while before saying, "There is a piece of news that was sent two days ago, saying that one of the small towns died a lot of people because of the war, but because the corpses were rotting in the city, it caused a plague, and the trouble was very bad, and there was almost no one left." β
Pestilence?
This is a man-made natural and man-made disaster! Ruan Cailing took a sip of water, the beads in her hand were plucked by her and made a crisp sound, Ruan Cailing looked down at the beads on the eighteenth son and was silent for a while before saying, "Since this is the case, then you will let people blow the wind in the emperor's ears, and ask Xie Qingyuan to rebuild that town!" β
Since Xie Qingyuan has taken the matter to himself, it is better to pick the most difficult one, if Xie Qingyuan can do it well, it is naturally good, if he can't do it well, isn't this just what they want?
The emperor will definitely blame.
"The plague is inevitable, and it can't be completely eliminated in a short period of time, at least in the period after Xie Qingyuan got married, it can also temporarily make Xie Qingyuan have no progress, even if it is the blessing of Mu Yichen and King Peace, it is useless!" Ruan Xuchen said.
What a good idea!
Gu Jinxi also felt good, and said, "Okay, I'll go and tell the emperor tomorrow!" β
It just so happens that Xie Qingyuan is getting married, and this can be regarded as the jackpot she gave to Xie Qingyuan! Ruan Cailing took a sip of tea, and in her fragrant mouth, Ruan Cailing curled the corners of her lips happily and said, "It's okay to let Xie Qingyuan and Anyang be separated for a while, and set off immediately after getting married, it's best to do this." β
Although Ji Jingyan refused to listen to them, Ruan Cailing still wanted to avoid Ji Jingyan as much as possible, and the same tragic situation happened to her in her previous life, and it was best to separate Xie Qingyuan and Ji Jingyan.
It would be better if I could leave the capital and go to other places to do errands.
However, even if there is no Xie Qingyuan, according to King Ping's side on Mu Yichen's side, it is estimated that Mu Yizuo will not let King Ping go when he ascends the throne in the future.
"You seem to mind Xie Qingyuan and Anyang being together?" Ruan Xuchen asked.
He thought that his sister didn't care about anything except Gu Jinxi, but in the past few days, because of Xie Qingyuan and Ji Jingyan's marriage, he was always sighing, and he didn't know what to think.
Ruan Cailing glared at Ruan Xuchen and said, "What do you mean by minding!" I just don't think people like Xie Qingyuan are worthy of Anyang! β
Although Anyang is a little domineering and has a temper, after all, he is the county lord, and Anyang has no bad intentions, so it is better not to add innocent lives after all, and it is good to keep the family as a family.
"Then this matter is settled, I will have someone send a message to Mu Yizuo, so that he can also mention the plague in front of the emperor." Ruan Xuchen said.
Every country is shy about plagues, and natural and man-made disasters are inevitable, so once it is mentioned, it must be a top priority.
Ruan Cailing said, "You asked someone to send a message to the Wen family, saying that tomorrow I will invite Wen Gongzi's concubine to come to Yanhua Building for tea." β
Wen Rushi's concubine? The one I saw in the Wen family's courtyard? Ruan Xuchen didn't understand, so why did Ruan Cailing want to see that woman? Ruan Cailing has nothing to do with her?
"Do you want to see Wen Rushi?" Gu Jinxi asked.
Ruan Cailing snapped her fingers and pointed at Gu Jinxi and praised, "Clever!" β
She must have a valid reason for a woman in her boudoir to see Wen Rushi, and this reason must be a woman.
