"Because the envoys of the countries have come to Beijing one after another, if the emperor dies at that time, the country will not be without a king for a day, let alone in front of the envoys of the countries, the five princes will naturally be pushed to the throne......"

Begonias are already cold in their hands and feet.

"Then why did Xiahou Xunmu burn down the gambling house?"

"Probably knowing that someone leaked his whereabouts." Yin Ze stared at her for a moment, "Or maybe the fifth master knows more." ”

The rest didn't need to be asked, and the room suddenly became silent again. Begonia leaned against the window, staring at the window with both eyes, not knowing what she was thinking. Yin Ze was lying on the bed, as long as he moved a little, he could startle Begonia, he simply didn't move.

When it was almost dawn, Yin Ze moved his body inside, "Come and lie down for a while?" ”

She shook her head, "I can't sleep." ”

Yin Ze pursed his lips, "Don't think about it, as long as I still have a breath, I can hold you up again when the sky falls." ”

Begonia smiled noncommittally.

"This year's palace banquet is not peaceful, you better find an excuse to shirk it."

"Nope." She raised her eyes, "What excuse can I make?" This is the Prime Minister's Mansion, I am Huo Starling's daughter who has just recognized, others don't know, but Huo Hanyan and Huo Starling both know that I am preparing for the palace banquet, if I don't arrive at the palace banquet, what will they think? And there is also a Xiahou Guan Jing...... Everybody knows my relationship with you, how can I not go. ”

For the first time, Yin Ze regretted being close to her with such fanfare, but she just wanted everyone to know that this was her woman, and no one could touch her.

"I'll go back at the palace banquet, and you will be next to me when the time comes."

"Hmm."

At breakfast, Yixiu personally brought breakfast to the back room, and prepared two pairs of dishes and chopsticks. After eating breakfast, Yixiu panicked to go to Chengwang's Mansion again, Haitang stopped her and said: "Yesterday, the little prince said, you go at noon, behave normally, don't let people see the problem." ”

Yixiu was so anxious that she hadn't slept well all night, where could she behave normally.

"Aunt Yixiu."

Haitang was a little helpless, thinking of her nervous appearance when she first met Yixiu, she was afraid that she would run away, and Haitang didn't have much hope for her. "Either I'll go."

"Let's go as a slave, if Miss goes this way, it will be too refreshing. Rest assured, slaves and maids know what is important. ”

Begonia looked into the distance, her eyebrows tightened. Now she really can't leave.

After Yixiu removed the breakfast, Haitang stayed in the house for a while, felt that the time was almost up and got up and prepared to go out. "I'll go out, I'll ask someone to guard the door, you can rest in peace."

"You're going to see Huo Starling?"

"Hmm."

Yin Ze didn't say anything, just nodded, "Be careful." ”

She chuckled, "Tiger poison doesn't eat children." After saying this with a smile, she suppressed her smile again and nodded seriously. Well, I see. ”

Haitang closed the door and commanded the two maids outside the door a few times, and then went to find Huo Starling with confidence. She pinched just the right time, and Huo Starling had indeed just returned home. But she hadn't seen Huo Xing yet, but she heard that Meng Qingyue had come to the house again. Haitang sneered in her heart, now that the gambling house has been burned, so the Meng family doesn't have to lose money, and they have confidence in their hearts?

Before he stepped into the front hall, Begonia saw two people inside. Meng Qingyue sat slumped in a chair, her mouth and eyes crooked, and she could see at a glance that it was a stroke. Kong Changming was by Meng Qingyue's side, his body was thin, and his whole person was aging by more than ten years.

"Slut! It's all you! It's all you! ”

Kong An didn't know where to rush out, and pinched Haitang's neck with his two hands. Begonia stepped aside, Kong An fell into the air, and when he turned around, his face was even more hideous.

"Slut, you dare to hide!"

Begonia stood there, a sneer pursing into her lips. "Slut, who's your name?"

Meng Qingyue's emotions suddenly became excited, and she didn't know what to say in her mouth. Probably wanting to vent his anger for his son, the hand struggled to lift up, but unsurprisingly, it was in vain.

"An'er!" Kong Changming scolded, "Don't be rude!" ”

Kong An had never listened to Kong Changming's words before, but today he was finally obedient, and obediently came to stand behind the two, not daring to mess around.

"Auntie, what's wrong? Why did you get sick like this after not seeing each other for so long? ”

Kong An's eyes widened and he was about to rush out again, with the posture of tearing her apart. "Slut, you still have the face to say!"

"An'er!" Kong Changming's voice was a little louder than just now. He pulled Kong An behind him, and then his face eased again, and said politely to Haitang: "An'er is not sensible and collided with the eldest lady." ”

This "eldest lady" made Begonia extra satisfied, more satisfied than anyone when they called her. As long as the other party is not pulling the relationship, this can make people less disgusted.

"Since he is not sensible, then my uncle-in-law will teach him more. My aunt was reluctant to teach him, so he was so sensible, but Cousin Kong An was so old that he couldn't be ignorant all his life. ”

Kong Changming's face was a little ashamed, and he lowered his head and even claimed that it was. Kong An's face was ugly, and Meng Qingyue shouted again. Haitang turned a blind eye and asked Kong Changming, "My uncle-in-law came over this time to find my father?" ”

Kong Changming's expression changed slightly, and he didn't speak, just nodded. At this moment, Huo Starling came.

Seeing Huo Starling, Kong Changming knelt down before Kong Changming finished speaking, and a "uncle" shouted to the heavens and the earth, screaming pathetic and touching.

"I'm not dead yet, don't cry about me like that."

Huo Xing has always disliked Kong An, and he is even more angry at this time, which makes Kong An and Kong Changming's faces a little unbearable.

"Uncle, I haven't seen you for too long, that's why I ......"

"I already said last time that you are not allowed to come to the capital again, your Meng family, you are very bold."

Huo Xing's tone was neither light nor serious, but the three members of the Meng family were stunned for a while when they heard it. Kong An only then did he know that it was wrong to say more, and he stood aside with his head stuffed, and he didn't dare to put a fart. Kong Changming stood up and knelt directly towards Huo Starling.

"Xiangye. I'm not thinking about coming to the Prime Minister's Mansion to bring my relatives, I'm just thinking about letting Xiangye raise his noble hand and let go of the Meng family and the Kong family. The Meng family has a solid background, but it can't withstand such suppression, not to mention our little Kong family. Xiangye, the Meng family has been hollowed out, and the shops have been sold to pay off the debts, and the government can't even afford to pay the salary, so they have to dismiss the domestic servants, and there are only three of us up and down. Please raise your noble hand and spare us. ”

Kong An has never had any backbone, he has changed from a carefree young master to a poor man with nothing, and he almost lost his life, and was invaded and dominated by the fear in his heart, and he also knelt down.

"Please let my uncle spare us."

Begonia has been watching silently, and couldn't help sneering when she saw this scene. "Cousin Kong An, you just wanted to strangle me, and now you are so knowledgeable about current affairs?"

Kong An broke out in a cold sweat, "I just did, that was...... Playing with my cousin. ”

"You're entitled to mess around with me, too?"

Begonia's light mockery had just fallen, and Meng Qingyue shouted again. What she shouted was not clear to others, but her eyes that were eager to tear herself were obvious to everyone.

Kong Changming was anxious, kneeling down and coming to Meng Qingyue's side, gently patting the back of her hand to appease, and giving Kong An a look again. It's just that Kong An can't get on the road, and Meng Qingyue doesn't understand what Kong Changming means, one continues to scream, and the other continues to scold.

"What do you say? I'm not eligible? You call me cousin, and you still say I'm not qualified? Huo Xihua, let me ask you, did you also do anything in our shops? And that IOU? Did you give it to the gambling house? If you hadn't added fuel to the fire and fanned the flames, would my Meng family have been played like this by you? ”

The more Kong An spoke, the more angry he became, and pointed at Haitang in front of Huo Xing and said, "Uncle, don't you know, when she was still the princess, she coaxed me to gamble, and she deliberately lent me money when I lost the silver......

"An'er!" Kong Changming couldn't care about anything, stood up and dragged Kong An, Kong An didn't care, shook off his father's hand and raised his voice again, and continued: "After borrowing my silver, he coaxed me to write down the IOU, and then changed the high interest rate privately, and finally handed over the IOU to the gambling house when the Meng family was in trouble, and asked the people in the gambling house to come over to collect debts!" ”

Kong An's eyes widened, "Uncle, don't you know, it's the gambling house that caught fire the day before yesterday!" They sent a few people to break into my Meng family and smash it, and they didn't let it report to the official mansion, and forced our Meng family to pay more than 100,000 taels of silver before they stopped! It was because of them that my mother was so angry that she had a stroke, my good mother, my good home, was actually harmed like this by them! ”

Kong An threw himself at Huo Xing's feet. "Uncle! You're in charge of us! Be in charge of us! ”

Kong Changming's face was bloodless, and although he was standing, his body swayed as if he was about to fall down at any time. Kong An couldn't care about these at all, and still cried and shouted for Huo Xing to make decisions for them.

Haitang looked at them coldly, and when she looked at Huo Starling, she stood up directly from the chair.

"What, Xiangye, do you want to ask the people of Jingzhao Mansion to arrest me and interrogate me again? It's okay, I'll just wait here, it's okay if you ask someone to go to Jingzhao Mansion to invite someone to come, I can go directly to Jingzhao Mansion, and I won't embarrass you. ”

Hearing this title, Huo Xing's eyebrows furrowed again, and he sighed even more imperceptibly. Kong An didn't know if he was really beaten stupid, and after seeing Huo Xing's frowning eyebrows, he thought that this was his dissatisfaction with Begonia, and he became more and more bold and instigated: "Uncle! It's okay for her to do these vicious things to us, but she can't be tolerated with Hanyan and her cousin-in-law! Zisong is an official of the imperial court, and her assassination in the middle of the night is not a serious typhoid smoke, and she even beats the official of the imperial court in public, this is humiliating the imperial court! Uncle! Such a vicious and cruel woman should be thrown into prison, and she should be ...... Ouch! ”

Huo Xing kicked Kong Anxin in the mouth and kicked him out directly. Kong Changming closed his eyes and didn't care, Meng Qingyue was even more frightened, and there was no blood on his face after the stroke.
