Chapter Seventy-One: The Man Who Can't Be Messed With

Xu Yan'er's face turned pale, "Dad, you go and beg Xiangye, you go and beg him." There must be another way, there must be another way! I don't be a sister-in-law! I am wronged, I am innocent. ”

Lord Xu didn't say yes, nor did he say no, but his face was dignified. Mrs. Xu couldn't see her daughter like this, so she hurriedly pulled her up. "Your father will definitely have a way, there will be a way."

After appeasing Xu Yan'er, Mrs. Xu found Lord Xu again, and talked about going to the Prime Minister Huo Xing to intercede. Lord Xu just snorted coldly when he heard this, and said, "Zhang Shixiong's matter is not as simple as you think, who is involved with him now, and who may be the next person to enter the prison." If you can send Yan'er out this morning, it will not only be good for Xu Fu, but also good for her. ”

Mrs. Xu looked at him in disbelief, "Yan'er is your only daughter, you really can't bear to send her to be your sister-in-law?" Not to mention whether the child in the slut's belly in the West Courtyard is a boy or not......"

"Shut up!" Lord Xu trembled with anger, "Woman's opinion! Is this what it is like to fight back and forth in the back house? This is a matter that concerns dozens of lives in my entire Xu Mansion! ”

"It's not that serious. Besides, Yan'er also said that she was taken away in the middle of the night in her sleep, and her innocence is still there, as long as someone has checked it! ”

"Ignorant woman, need no more." Lord Xu held back his anger and gave an order directly. "Send her out early tomorrow morning, it's useless for you to say anything!"

That night, Mrs. Xu quietly ordered someone to open the back door of Xu's mansion and let Xu Yan'er escape. Unexpectedly, as soon as the back door was opened, the subordinates found that the officers and soldiers had already surrounded the outside of the Xu Mansion on three floors......

At the same time, the two figures sent news to King Cheng's Mansion at the same time, one was a secret letter to the old Cheng Wangye, and the other was to Yin Ze. The news is all the same: Zhang Shixiong colluded with foreign enemies and promised the military department to leak the secrets of the Eastern Yuan military. The Xu family was found to be related to this matter because of the previous involvement, and the evidence is conclusive. and Xu Yan'er wanted to abscond in the middle of the night, but she was even more convicted.

Tearing up the news in his hand, Yin Ze tightly twisted his eyebrows.

How dare she play so big?

"Master, the old prince invites you to go to the east study."

Yin Ze bowed his head, threw the shredded news on the candle flame, and rushed to the east study. As soon as he arrived at the East Study, Lao Cheng asked him directly, "What did Begonia do?" ”

He nodded, "Probably." ”

Lao Cheng Wang Ye threw away the note in his hand and snorted lightly, "She has the ability." After walking slowly in the study twice, Lao Cheng asked again, "Do you have any news about Zhang Shixiong's collusion with foreign enemies?" ”

There was a joke in the corner of his eyes, "You don't have any news, how can I have it." ”

Lao Cheng's eyes were heavy, as if he was exploring and scrutinizing. "Then how could she know so many things about Zhang Shixiong, and these things are still true?"

Yin Ze lowered his eyes, and only after a moment did he raise his head and look directly at the old prince. "Fifth Master."

"Who?"

"Someone she knew in the gambling house. The gambling houses under the name of the fifth master have opened three in the capital, all of which are the gambling houses with the best business and the largest flow of people in the capital, and they are very well-informed. Xiangwan's matter was probably also what she heard from this fifth master. ”

Lao Cheng's face turned cold, "If it's really a nest of snakes and rats, how can a good girl from someone else's family run into the gambling house." After a pause, there were two more smiles in Lao Cheng's voice. didn't rely on the Chengwang Mansion to clean up the Xu family, and also found out Zhang Shixiong and others for the imperial court...... is really my daughter-in-law, and she has the ability. ”

Yin Ze raised his eyes, "The daughter-in-law you are looking for?" He chuckled, "I'm going to marry you." ”

Lao Cheng hit the nail on the head, "What are you talking about so affectionately?" Didn't you get tired of marrying someone into the door and petting them for two days? According to me, Haitang is really a loss when she meets you, so it is better to follow the boy of the Fu family. ”

At the mention of Fu Zichen, Yin Ze's face suddenly became ugly. "Lost? I'll see if you can say that in two days. ”

Dropping these words, Yin Ze left directly.

Begonia slept very well this night and woke up more energetic than ever. Fennel waited while talking about Zhang Shixiong and the Xu family, and after finishing speaking, she looked at Begonia's calm expression, and Fennel was not good.

"Princess, you ...... You did this too? ”

Begonia smiled. "Xu Yan'er's scandal is indeed done by me, but Zhang Shixiong's things, where do I have the ability to do these things."

Fennel's eyes widened even more, "How do you know about the princess......"

She curled her lips and smiled, "If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do." Seeing Fennel looking at herself with admiration, Haitang deliberately teased her again, "Your master is very capable, and he knows astronomy and geography." ”

Fennel's eyes lit up. "Then princess, tell me, can the slave marry a good family in the future?"

The begonia snorted twice, pinching the little face of fennel. "What's the matter, you're married?"

Fennel blushed, "Didn't the princess say that you know astronomy and geography, and the slave just asked casually." ”

Begonia laughed for a while, and then pinched her face lightly several times, until Fennel was a little angry, and she accepted the smile.

"I'm no longer in the Chengwang Mansion at that time, and I can't see what will happen to you in the future."

Fennel was stunned, "What do you mean, princess?" ”

Begonia's expression darkened, and in the blink of an eye, she became happy again. "Don't worry, I'll find you a suitable husband as soon as possible."

Fennel was embarrassed by her words again, picked up the cold teapot on the table and ran out. Fennel, who was not long ago, ran back again, "Princess, the weather is good today, and the slave maid is walking with you?" ”

Begonia was about to agree, but yawned lazily. "Forget it, don't go, I'll lie down for a while."

Because she had also gotten up two days ago and had to sleep a little longer, fennel became her habit, and she spread the bed and lay her down.

"If the old prince comes to call me a little later, you can tell someone to wait, or let him go back directly, and I will go to the old prince's side when I get up."

Fennel responded, gave her a whole quilt, and went out.

After the end of the East Study, Lao Cheng was summoned into the palace, for the sake of Zhang Shixiong's business. Although the princess of Yiguo did not have a relationship, how could it be coincidental that the political affairs of Yiguo changed when she remained in the capital? Then there was the fact that Zhang Shixiong colluded with Shangshu of the Ministry of War to collude with foreign enemies, which almost shook the entire Eastern Yuan.

The Dongyuan Emperor had to summon the ministers of the court and the central government into the palace to discuss politics, and this discussion lasted nearly two hours.

The courtiers came out of the main hall with a solemn face, only to see Xiahou Guan Jing, the princess of Yiguo who had been waiting outside the hall, and immediately whispered in groups of three or two.

When Lao Cheng saw Xiahou Guan Jing, he suddenly understood that Haitang not only wanted to take revenge on the Xu family, but also had already attacked Xiahou Guan Jing.

She made a wonderful move.

Xiahou Guan Jing had no intention of talking to others, and others didn't dare to talk to her easily, but when Lao Cheng Wang Ye passed by her, she whispered hello to Lao Cheng Wang Ye.

Lao Cheng nodded his head, which was a response, and he went straight forward. After walking a distance, he stopped and looked back, and saw that the palace people beside the emperor were talking to Xiahou Guan Jing, and after a few words, Xiahou Guan Jing followed the palace people into the main hall.

Lao Cheng Wang Ye sneered in his heart. As long as he, the emperor's brother, encounters something related to the throne, his suspicion is not ordinary, which is also the biggest reason why the emperor does not allow the prince to marry with foreign clans.

Now no matter how Xiahou Guan Jing argues, I'm afraid the emperor can't trust her, and he can't trust a country.

This begonia is really interesting.

The old prince returned to the palace of King Cheng, and really called someone to call Haitang over. Fennel looked at the closed door, and was also worried that Begonia had slept too long. couldn't bear to be disturbed, Fennel could only tell the little girl who came to talk to her according to Begonia's previous instructions, and the little girl had to wait for her to get up. After half a cup of tea, Begonia called fennel to serve it. Tidying up casually, Begonia went to the east study.

Obviously, he just got up and slept for another four hours, but Begonia was sleepy again as soon as he walked not far. Seeing that her whole person was in bad spirits again, Fennel couldn't help but worry.

"What's wrong with the princess? Or are you hungry and thirsty? Why didn't you have any energy all day? ”

Haitang pondered, "It's probably because I've slept for too long, and I always feel uncomfortable anywhere." ”

Fennel glanced at the little maid who was leading the way in front, "Or the slave and maid over there of the old prince went to push the princess?" ”

"I can't push it off."

Haitang entered the study, asked An to salute, and the old Cheng Wangye, who was facing her with his back to her, spoke, "You calculated the Xu family, calculated Xiahou Guan Jing, and you can be regarded as repaying the resentment in your heart, but have you ever thought that the Chengwang Mansion would be in trouble because of you." ”

"I've only been out twice in the past few days, which one is the relationship between the Chengwang Mansion and the Chengwang Mansion?" Haitang sneered, "The old prince is also a far-sighted, far-sighted and courageous person, why is he always afraid that the Chengwang Mansion will be dragged down by me." Although I bear the name of Princess Cheng, in fact, I have nothing to do with King Cheng's Mansion, do I? ”

"That's what you've always thought?" Lao Cheng Wang Ye was not angry and arrogant, "You and Ze'er have that little, do you still want to hold a grudge for the rest of your life?" ”

Begonia was like a fish in his throat, avoiding the things he mentioned, and just asked: "What is the matter with the old prince looking for me?" ”

Lao Cheng Wang Ye slowed down his tone, "The father and daughter of the Xu family have been pressed into the prison, and Mrs. Xu also went to the Prime Minister's Mansion to beg, I heard that she was directly taken away." Now they are kneeling outside my palace. After a pause, Lao Cheng said: "Forget about the affairs of the Xu family, but Xiahou Guan Jing's side, you had better not mess with it." Xiahou Guan Jing is also a person who grew up in the palace, and it is not as easy to clean up as you think. Besides, there is also a Xiahou Xunmu in Yiguo, who is a figure that I Dongyuan will be afraid of, and you can't afford to provoke it. ”
