Chapter 307: A courtier, a wife
Ji Gongyan and Zheng Boyou returned in the middle of the night, almost quietly entered the Zheng family's mansion, along the way several times Zheng Boyou wanted to ask about the death of Qi Ji, but failed to find a chance, until this moment finally the two of them were alone, Zheng Boyou asked, "What did the king say to Qi Boke?" ”
"If you don't say anything about such a big thing, isn't it a little unreasonable?" Ji Gongyan asked rhetorically, untied the cuffs on his wrists, and the running around for days made him feel that he was very tired, and he needed to sleep well at this moment, and he didn't know how many sleepless nights were waiting for him in the next tough battle, he let out a long sigh, "Let's go rest first, it's not too early!" ”
"Qi Bo has been pursuing this matter, and begging the king to investigate thoroughly, why did he never mention this matter again after the king came?" Zheng Boyou looked at Ji Gongyu and asked, Ji Gongyu turned to look at Zheng Boyou for a long time, "What do you mean?" ”
"It's nothing," Zheng Boyou shook his head, "Qi Ji is in my realm, and now I can't give Qi Bo an explanation, and I can't go away with it!" ”
"There is no truth in this world," Ji Gongyu patted Zheng Boyou on the shoulder, "What most people believe is the truth!" Now that Qi Bo has accepted the statement that Qi Ji died of unadaptability, the world will gradually accept this view, what's wrong with this? Do you have to fight Zheng Guo and Qi Guo to make a big fight, do you feel safe? After saying this, he walked towards his own chamber, and Bao Xi lay on his side on the bed, pillowed his head with his hands, and sat up violently when he heard the noise outside the door, "The king is back?" ”
"Hmm!"
Bao Xi got up from the bed, took the clothes he took off from Ji Gongyan's hand and hung them aside, soaked the cloth with water, took it and handed it to Ji Gongyan, Ji Gongyan wiped his face casually and handed the cloth back to Bao Xi, and then asked, "Woke you up?" ”
Bao Xi shook her head, "General Wen came here in the afternoon. ”
"He's already here?" Ji Gongyan asked, counting the days, this Wenshuo's footsteps are fast enough, "After dealing with Qi Ji's affairs, we can go back to Beijing, it is the end of the year, it is the coldest day of the year, and I have to bother you and the widow on the road, it's really hard for you!" ”
Bao Xi pursed her lips and shook her head, "The killing of the accompanying army and the death of Qi Ji should already be very annoying, right?" ”
"It's all trivial!" Ji Gongyan held his face and said, what he was really worried about in his heart was something that had not yet been born, "Did Zheng Qizhi tell you anything about the march?" ”
"Did the people of Beidi do it?" Bao Xi asked.
Ji Gong nodded.
"This battle, the king can't help it," Bao Xi hesitated for a long time and sighed softly, looking at Ji Gongyan's dark eyes, Ji Gongyan stepped forward and hugged Bao Xi tightly in his arms, and whispered softly in her ear, "I don't want you to know about this, or let you know!" ”
"How can the king hide it if he wants to?" Bao Xi hugged Ji Gongyan's shoulder, and rested her head on her shoulder, "The more the king doesn't want his concubines to know, the more people want his concubines to know." ”
"You said Mrs. Chu?" Ji Gongyan asked, after thinking about it, I am afraid that this matter was also told by Mrs. Chu, Mrs. Chu will know that the news is definitely not what Ji Gongyan said, but Chu Hou Xiongyi sent someone to send a letter to report, and her various descriptions of Ji Gongyan's love for herself are of course not true, he spent a lot of nights in Mrs. Chu's palace, and there was no shortage of time to sleep together, but there was no relationship between them, this matter is almost unbelievable, but there is only one reason, It's just facing a femme fatale woman who may kill you at any time, and I'm just afraid of ...... It is unlikely that any man would want to pour this blood down his body.
Bao Xi shook his head in Ji Gongyan's arms, "Did the king ever suspect General Zheng?" ”
Ji Gongyan pushed Bao Xi away slightly, and looked at her with some puzzlement, "Which aspect?" ”
"The king's entourage was all killed by a single sword, and I heard that there was not even a second fatal wound on the body!" Bao Xi asked, "The poison extracted from the blade is not very toxic, and it can't be done in a moment, so ...... Will the king's entourage be useless to this extent and be slaughtered? ”
"The widow doesn't tell you these things, just because I'm afraid that you will think nonsense, although this matter was done by Beidi, it doesn't mean that no one of our people is involved, but General Zheng will never betray the widow!" Ji Gongyan said word by word, this tone was to tell Bao Xi that there was no room for bargaining in this matter, Bao Xi had no choice but to nod, and suddenly said, "When General Wen Shuo came, I entrusted him with the digging and asked him to take him with him. ”
"You said you wouldn't interfere in this matter!" Ji Gongyan suddenly turned to look at Bao Xi and said, her voice was slightly loud, which startled Bao Xi, she looked at Ji Gongyan with flashing eyes, and asked puzzledly, "Why can't you call him to the battlefield to defend against the enemy?" Now that there is a lack of the king's cronies in the army, Zheng Guo is available, why not use it? ”
Ji Gongyan looked at Bao Xi and nodded, "Is Zheng Guo available, or is Zheng Guo available for you?" All your calculations overnight are all about finding chips for yourself, right? Do you think that it is profitable for Zheng Boyou to sit firmly in the position of Zheng Boyou and become the son of the world, so you don't even care about the life and death of Twenty-seven? Have you ever thought that the position of the prince of the digging is established, then the position of Twenty-seven in the Zheng family is in jeopardy! The widow once asked you if you would like to kill Twenty-Seven for the widow, and you don't need to show your loyalty so quickly, do you? ”
"The king is using your conspiracy theories to speculate about his concubines again!" Bao Xi looked at Ji Gongyan and said, sat down on the edge of the bed, she couldn't meddle in his affairs, as long as she didn't interfere in their affairs, there would be no dispute between them, but just let it go and watched, Bao Xi couldn't bear it, she knew that Ji Gongyan had fallen into a stalemate right now, and she had been thinking about it for a few days between Chu Guo and Zheng Guo, if there was no her in this world, he could have decided very simply, kill Uncle Zheng and use Zheng Qizhi!
"Isn't what the widow said wrong?" Ji Gongyan looked at Bao Xi and asked.
"If you dig in the army...... Dead? Bao Xi looked up at Ji Gongyan and asked, "Is this also something that the concubine can control?" The concubine doesn't want to quarrel with the king, but can you not say these things every time, the king has to question the attitude of the concubine, and one day the concubine will no longer pay attention to these things and make an ornament like a terracotta figurine, will the king feel happy? ”
Ji Gongyan looked at Bao Xi who was sitting at the head of the bed, and knew that his words hurt her again, so he squatted in front of her, "Do you know that wives and courtiers are different!" ”
Bao Xi looked at Ji Gong and didn't know why.
"It's different," Ji Gongyan repeated this sentence again, "Since you can talk to the widow about the affairs of the family and the country, you shouldn't use the identity of your wife to blackmail the widow." If you are a courtier, you have the heart to disobey the widow, but you have not been able to convince the widow, and the widow can punish you with a hundred capital crimes! But as a wife, the husband should do everything he can to pamper and love, even if there are thousands of things that are wrong, everything is wrong, and he must try his best to love," he stroked Bao Xi's cheek, "Don't always make the widow have the illusion that you are a widow's courtier, and the widow can't help but treat you with the attitude of the courtier!" ”
Bao Xi didn't think about it, and now that Ji Gongyan said it, she suddenly realized that she and Ji Gongyan were talking, and she was often the same as those ministers who liked to bargain and thought they were smart, so she put her face on Ji Gongyan's face, "The concubine understands." ”
"The widow sometimes thinks," Ji Gongyan also pressed against the cheeks of the praising man, "If you can not go to court, you really can't go out of the couch every day, and you are fortunate to be pampered, singing and dancing every day, drinking and having fun, why not?" ”
"After a few days, the king will be tired," Bao Xi said, the corners of her mouth were slightly curved into a shallow arc, and her heart was full, from now on she decided not to be involved in politics again, which naturally means not to leave it alone, but to use a more ingenious and obscure method to manipulate, if she can't help Ji Gong to use a ruthless praise Hongde, I'm afraid it is...... Ji Gongyan will take a risk and use the move of Chu State, because it is not appropriate for Zheng State to move at the moment, if Zheng Guo is in chaos, the Jin State and Qi State connected to it will no longer be stable!
If Bao Hongde is victorious, needless to say, the matter will be a sure ending.
But if the war is defeated, the tragedy of Mrs. Qi will be staged again, I am afraid that the defeat of the Bao family will affect the Bao Xi in the court, and public opinion will directly point to Bao Xi; And if Bao Hongde did a deserter, or made a military order, the life of the Bao family would not be guaranteed, at that time, Bao Xi's life will really be sent to Ji Gongyan's hands, in response to Mrs. Chu's words, in response to Ji Gongyan's dream, this ending, Bao Xi has already thought about it, and now in Ji Gongyan's warm arms, she is not afraid, as long as he is by her side, she always feels so calm and peaceful.
Zheng Boyou paced back and forth in the study alone, a little uneasy in his mind, thinking back to Ji Gongyan's words just now, he inevitably felt that something was wrong, who Qi Ji killed became a mystery to him, and he couldn't make a conclusion about this matter whether he investigated it or not. After a while, the door of the room was pushed open, and Twenty-seven walked in with the soup in his hand, "Just now the next person said that the master is back!" ”
"Why haven't you slept so late?" Zheng Boyou suddenly came back to his senses and looked at Twenty-seven and asked.
"All the way, the master should rest early," Twenty-seven looked at Zheng Boyou and said, putting the soup on the table, "Let's drink something first?" Probably still hungry, right? ”
Zheng Boyou picked up the bowl, drank it all, looked at Twenty-seven and nodded, "You go down first, I still have to watch some more things, I haven't been here for so long, and there are a lot of government affairs to deal with." ”
Twenty-seven did not obey Zheng Boyou's instructions to exit the door, but watched Zheng Boyou take a step closer to him.
