Chapter Seventy-Seven: Heartless
Yun Chi left Emperor Longwu from the imperial study and walked to Kunde Palace. Rong Hai's accounts for personal gain were successfully handed over to the emperor, but Rong Hai found out early, Ding Huaien was killed, he asked his personal guards to pretend to be himself on the official ship all the way into Beijing, and he sneaked to the capital in cloth clothes, but he was still discovered by Rong Hai's people.
The experience of fleeing all the way made Yun Chi have a deep understanding of Ronghai's power, and he complained that the people privately called him the king of Jiangnan, and he did have the ability to cover the sky with one hand in the Jiangnan area.
As for the account book handed over by Yun Chi, although the emperor's dragon case has been put on the table, with only a few account books, Emperor Longwu believes that he can't convince the cabinet to arrest Rong Hai.
Thinking that this time he had almost run for nothing, Yun Chi was extremely depressed, thinking about everything in Zhuzhou as he walked, hoping to find an opportunity to bring Rong Hai down.
"Master Hou, it seems that it is the eldest princess of Jinyang and the county lord of Ruihe over there," the little eunuch who led the way saw the eldest princess of Jinyang and Li Jingyi from a distance, and reminded Yun Chi loudly.
Li Jingyi entered the palace?
Speaking of which, Yun Chi hadn't seen her for more than two months, and he didn't rush forward to salute the eldest princess of Jinyang, but slowed down his pace to look at the mother and daughter not far away.
Looking at the atmosphere, they seemed to be saying something unpleasant, the eldest princess of Jinyang was obviously shocked, and Li Jingyi was still that indifferent face, Yun Chi contemplated carefully, Li Jingyi seemed to have become more and more moody before leaving Zhuzhou.
"County Lord, Lord Hou is here," the traces on Ling's face did not completely fade, so she was reluctant to follow Li Jingyi out to move, Yuxiang and Hanxiao had just arrived, and everything was unfamiliar, so Longyi followed Li Jingyi into the palace, she saw Yun Chi slowly walking towards this side, and hurriedly reminded Li Jingyi and the eldest princess of Jinyang.
It seems that it still happened, Li Jingyi secretly stroked the arm of the eldest princess of Jinyang to help her calm her emotions, "Mother, Enyihou is over there!" ”
The eldest princess of Jinyang also saw Yun Chi, she hurriedly stood up straight and walked over quickly, "I didn't expect to meet Yun Hou Ye here." ”
"Weichen has seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and the county lord," Yun Chi rolled his sleeves, "The two of you came out of Niangniang?" ”
How could the eldest princess of Jinyang accept Yun Chi's courtesy, and stretched out her hand to hold him, "Master Hou doesn't have to be polite to me, you saved the life of the little girl, you are my great benefactor, Lord Hou please accept my gift." ”
"Your Royal Highness has tormented Wei Chen, but it's just a gesture," Yun Chi shook to the ground, until the eldest princess of Jinyang straightened up, and then straightened up, and said to Li Jingyi, "The county lord's complexion is much better, when did you and Marquis Li arrive in Beijing?" ”
He didn't hear anything.
"Jing Niang only did it yesterday, speaking of which Jing Niang left first, but it was the Hou Ye who arrived first," the eldest princess of Jinyang said with a smile, "The county lord is in poor health, so it is naturally safe," Yun Chi didn't want to talk more about his return to Beijing, and smiled and hugged his fists again, "The minister still wants to enter the palace to ask Niangniang to say goodbye, His Royal Highness will ask for it first." ”
The eldest princess of Jinyang heard Queen Yun say that Yun Chi was coming in Kunde Palace, and knew that her sister must be waiting, "Then we won't delay Master Hou, and I will send Gao Jin to the Hou Mansion to post when I turn around, and ask Lord Hou to take a step." ”
Naturally, the life-saving grace can not be repaid with such a sweep, and the eldest princess of Jinyang has already begun to plan how to prepare a thank you gift in her heart.
"Let's wait a few days, it's not too late to wait for the Hou Ye's honor guard to return to Beijing," Li Jingyi wanted to ask how things were going in Yunchi Zhuhai, but this was not the place to talk, she thought about it, "I just don't know where the Qincha honor guard is now?" ”
How could Yun Chi not hear what Li Jingyi wanted to ask? He smiled slightly, "I guess I have to wait a few more days, I encountered something on the way, and it was delayed,"
He saw doubts in Li Jingyi's eyes, "When I left Zhuzhou, Mrs. Wang also asked me to bring things to Chengenbo Mansion and the county lord, but they were all placed on the official boat, in fact, Mrs. Wang didn't need to be so anxious, the emperor was extremely angry about the county lord's affairs, and he had already ordered the criminal department and the officials to escort Ma Yingtian back to Beijing. ”
Only move the personnel of Zhuzhou? Ma Yingtian helped him to abuse, Yun Chi, the Qin Mission, could convict him on the spot by stroking his black yarn, why did he have to return to Beijing?
Thinking about Yun Chi actually sneaking back to Beijing, a bad premonition came to mind, Li Jingyi raised her eyes and said, "Unless my uncle enters Beijing as an official, won't my aunt still be thousands of miles away from home?" This thing has to be sent back every year,"
Yun Chi knew what Li Jingyi wanted to ask the most, and he shook his head slightly, "Some things are much more difficult to do than you think......
"The emperor wants to move the officials of Zhuzhou? The package does not include Jiangnan Water Division? The eldest princess of Jinyang couldn't hold it steady anymore and asked in a trembling voice.
"Mother! It's a state affair! Li Jingyi sharply interrupted the words of the eldest princess of Jinyang, and said to Yun Chifu, "Master Hou, go to the palace quickly, the mother should be in a hurry." ”
Yun Chi's attitude towards the eldest princess of Jinyang and Li Jingyi was a little strange, he nodded slightly, "Okay, then I'll go first." ”
"Mother, what do you want to do? Do you want to be grounded again? Or do you want to move out of the eldest princess's mansion? As soon as Yun Chi left, Li Jingyi glared at the pale eldest princess of Jinyang fiercely, and said to the maid Chun Tao beside her, "Don't help Your Highness get into the sedan chair yet!" ”
Empress Yun waited for a long time in Kunde Palace before she saw her younger brother come in with the palace people, "But what's the matter?" ”
Yun Chi did not rush to answer Queen Yun's question, but saluted her first, "Weichen has seen Niangniang, Niangniang Wan'an." ”
Queen Yun watched her younger brother kneel down in front of her, her eyes were sour, and she tilted her head to the side, "That's it, let's be flat." ”
The entire Great Zhou, including Emperor Longwu, thought that the Yun brothers and sisters had a deep brotherhood, but in fact, Empress Yun felt differently, and she also knew what the reason was inside? But for this reason, she and Yun Chi will never talk about it.
"I heard the emperor say that you were injured on the road? Where is the injury? Are you better? Do you want to ask Dr. Xu to come and show you? Queen Yun looked her brother up and down, eager to rip off his clothes to see where the wound was?
Yun Chi shook his head, "Don't worry, Niangniang, the minister was injured a month ago, and he was recuperating while walking all the way, and he was almost fine. ”
Yun Chi and Queen Yun have a knot, but what makes Queen Yun happy is that this younger brother is not confused, and he did not reveal it at all in front of the emperor, but he is extremely respectful and close to that brother-in-law, and this is also the reason, the emperor also relies on Yun Chi very much, and Queen Yun is happy to see their uncle get along, after all, the Yun family is her maiden family, and now there is only such a younger brother left to rely on her.
"That's good, I heard the emperor say that you are injured, and you haven't slept peacefully in the past month, for fear that you will have something wrong," Queen Yun touched the tears from the corners of her eyes sideways, "By the way, I heard the emperor say that you are hiding in the Rong family's convoy into Beijing, speaking of which, this Rong family is really everywhere, tell me, what is going on?" ”
Yun Chi didn't expect Rong Lan to save herself, but she was forced to be calm, but from time to time she stared at her own behavior with her spare eyes, but Yun Chi understood, "It's nothing, you don't have to take this matter to heart, it's just speculation, she is not really old-fashioned, and I am happy to push the boat." ”
Seeing that her younger brother was somewhat unnatural, looking at Yun Chi's handsome face, Queen Yun instantly understood the key, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, although the Rong family has a shallow foundation, Rong Hai is the Governor of the Navy, and his concubine is almost the same as you, if you are ......"
Yun Chi interrupted Queen Yun's words unhappily, "It's better for Niangniang to think less about this, and she didn't make any less effort in Ruihe's county lord's affairs this time,"
Yun Chi sneered, "That's Ronghai's female military division, this time I entered Beijing, I'm afraid it's not as simple as visiting relatives,"
It seems that he is a scheming person, but this point is nothing in Queen Yun's opinion, women, as long as they get married, they will have the same heart as their husbands, this smart person is naturally better than stupid ones, so I listened to Yun Chi and said, "When Rui and the county lord had an accident, the first thing Rong Lan did was to torture the two maids who accompanied her to escape, and also copied the Yutang Courtyard where the county lord lived. ”
This is too much, Queen Yun remembered that with Li Jingyi's invitation to herself, she put on fat powder, and she could still see the shallow marks on her cheeks, how important is the appearance of this daughter's family, no woman in the deep palace understands it better, I heard that there is also a righteous servant, because her face is ruined, she can't come out to see people again, Queen Yun immediately pinched the original careful thoughts, this is ruthless and cheap, but it is not the virtue that a housewife should have.
"It's just that she saved you, I just pretend I don't know? This is not very good, "No matter what Rong Lan's purpose is, it is certain that Yu Yunchi has the grace to save her, as Yunchi's sister, Queen Yun still feels that she can't ignore it."
Yun Chi smiled faintly, "This is simple, the matter of me sneaking back to Beijing will be turned out in the future, and when the official ship comes back, you will directly summon her and reward her for the rescue grace of the eldest lady of the Rong family, but,"
Yun Chi looked at Queen Yun, he knew his sister too well, and knew that she didn't just want to repay Rong Lan for saving her kindness, "Niangniang, don't let people misunderstand how much you like her, don't let those people outside think that I have an inexplicable relationship with her." ”
Especially Rong Lan is still a stitch-seeing, Yun Chi doesn't plan to give her a chance at all, so as to save herself trouble.
It seems that the younger brother not only has no love for Rong Lan at all, but is even very disgusted, and Queen Yun no longer cares about this woman.
Thinking about it, the Rong family's approach to Li Jingyi is not only ruthless, but also lawless, and this kind of daughter taught by her parents will not be much better, but it is also because of this that Queen Yun, who has been bored in the palace for a long time, has become interested in Rong Lan, "I know, she knows that you are the person Rong Hai wants to kill, and she has to protect you, heh,"
Between her father, who gave her life and honor, and a strange man, Rong Lan would actually choose a strange man, Queen Yun couldn't help but sigh when she thought about it.
